Chereads / Mayhem in the Multiverse / Chapter 10 - Face Off

Chapter 10 - Face Off

Gumshoe: "Oh hey, finally got your lawyer now, speak pal."

Saul Goodman: "Hold it right there mate, I'll do the talking for him."

Gumshoe: "Oh for fucks sake, so you're THAT kind of lawyer, huh?"

Fricka: [You're not helping things here]

Saul Goodman: "Ahem, so what are the charges he is being put under?"

Gumshoe: "The manufacturing of drugs."

Saul Goodman: "And what evidence is there to back this up? He was only found in a meth lab, there is no evidence he actually was there to make drugs."

Fricka: "Yes that's-"

Saul Goodman: [Shush]

Gumshoe: "I'd have to agree if there wasn't a phone call from a homeless guy who saw him doing the cooking in there."

Saul Goodman: "This is obvious framing, a homeless guy doesn't have a phone."

Gumshoe: "No they don't, but they do have a public phone right outside the lab, pal."

Yep, this is obvious framing, Gustavo hired this homeless guy to frame me, for fucks sake.

Saul Goodman: [Shit]

Fricka: [You don't say] "Ahem, if I may-"

Saul Goodman: [STOP NO YOU'RE GONNA SLIP]

Fricka: "-I need to add, how did the homeless-"

Saul Goodman: [STOP]

Fricka: "-get access to the lab?"

Saul Goodman: [Eh, not that bad of a question but, STOP]

Gumshoe: "Oh er, I mean, uhhh, hehe, one second."

The detective runs out of the room.

Saul Goodman: "Never have I seen the accused scare off a detective."

Fricka: "Nah, the only thing he's scared of is having an incomplete case file-"

ALL OF A SUDDEN, FUCKING MANFRED VON KARMA WALKS IN.

Saul Goodman: [Yep, you're finished, Manfred is the prosecutor, you're on your own kid, adios]

Fricka: [WAIT AND JUST SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY]

Manfred: "I'm willing to come to an agreement for Fricka's sentence."

Saul Goodman: "What? You're joking, right? You never do agreements!"

Manfred: "Still a win for me, right? Plus, we know already Fricka is obviously guilty, so let us not waste any time."

Fricka: [Don't take any offer except Not Guilty]

Manfred: "20 years in prison."

Saul Goodman: "You're joking me! Though, that is below average... make it 10."

Fricka: [STOP, NO, DON'T-]

Manfred: "15."

Fricka: [I SWEAR TO GOD SAUL GOODMAN]

Saul Goodman: "De-"

I slap Saul on the face to make him shut up when Gumshoe comes in again.

Gumshoe: "You got bailed out."

Fricka: "By who?"

Gumshoe: "I'll take you to them."

I'm taken outside, and I am greeted by Emiro.

Fricka: "Where's Gex?"

Emiro: "Still recovering."

Fricka: "So why bail me out when I abandoned you?"

Emiro: "I didn't do it for you, I need your help to save Carlos."

Fricka: "I'm sorry?"

Emiro: "Gustavo found out Carlos failed him and is now going to his location as we speak to kill him."

Fricka: "Why should we help him?"

Emiro: "He's our friend, he's just been blackmailed and forced to be our enemy due to Gustavo."

Fricka: "So what do you want me to do, a rescue mission?"

Emiro: "Sort of, I want you to kill Gustavo."

Fricka: "WHAT? By the way, I lost my powers."

Emiro: "Carlos is the bait, if we lead him into the trap, BAM he's gone and done with."

Fricka: "Doesn't sound too bad, but how will we do it?"

Emiro: "Carlos is located in this village, he is staying in a hotel room. He lives on one of the top floors, so we need to lay a trap that makes it so anyone that breaks down Carlos' door will be flung out the window and sent to their death."

Fricka: "Well then, let's get to work."

We go to the village, and break in, Carlos isn't home right now and lay the mechanism that is the trap, but then, Carlos arrives home.

Carlos: "What the FUCK are you doing?!"

Emiro: "Saving your life, for once."

Fricka: "Gustavo is on his way as we speak to come and kill you Carlos, and we're setting up a trap to kill him."

Carlos: "He won't fall for it, bro."

Fricka: "Worth the attempt, if Gustavo is dead, then well, there's no one to hunt you down and kill you."

Carlos: "Fine, fucker."

We finish up the trap and leave, and hide waiting for Gustavo to come.

Outside the window, we saw him.

He was in a very formal suit, he got out of his very expensive car, and straightened his tie, as he walked towards the hotel with this metal briefcase.

One of his goons followed him, and they entered the building. His steps were loud on the stairs, he was like a Giant making his entrance.

Gustavo approached Carlos' door, but then he pulls out a key card from his briefcase, allowing him access through the door.

Emiro: [What the-]

Fricka: [This isn't according to plan, wait I'm going to go in]

Emiro: [DONT!]

Gustavo: "Good evening Carlos. Why stay at this hotel, don't you have your own house? Did you get kicked out of the house, or are you running from me? Because I don't see Fricka nor Emiro here."

Carlos: "No, I have them here."

Emiro: [What is he doing?!]

Carlos: "They came here to lay a trap to kill you, and they are currently right outside that door, ha get fucked you two!"

The goon then grabs a hold of us and brings us in.

Gustavo: "Well, it seems I've underestimated you, Carlos. Brilliant work, but was the running necessary?"

Carlos: "Yes, but I got the two before Widowmaker, you idiot."

Gustavo: "I said I MIGHT spare you, not I will. Besides, Widowmaker is dead, I wonder how that happened. Anyways, it is an honour to meet again you two."

Fricka: "What are you going to do with us?"

Gustavo: "Don't worry, I'm not planning on a public execution, that is just childish, I have better plans."

Out of his briefcase, he pulls out two needles.

Emiro: "What are those?"

Gustavo: "Poison, but not the kind to kill, they will paralyse you indefinitely, leaving you in a hospital room for the rest of your life so you can suffer."

Fricka: "What the..."

I try to summon my powers to kill Gustavo, but I remember they're gone. I try again but to no avail.

All of a sudden, I am taken to a dark void. I can see blurry, the world around me in slow motion, as Gustavo slowly takes his needle towards us.

Witch 1: "So, this is it, huh?"

Witch 3: "What a shame, eheheh!"

Fricka: "What do you want, you three bitches?"

Witch 2: "We want to tease you!"

Witch 3: "Besides it wouldn't be fun if we didn't get to make you suffer too."

Fricka: "This isn't right, you say you use your power for good, but you use it to make me suffer, this is not right at all."

Witch 1: "No shit it isn't right, we just want revenge."

Witch 3: "The worst revenge anyone could ever experience."

Witch 2: "Enjoy your last moments."

Fricka: "WAIT!"

Witch 2: "I'm sorry?"

Fricka: "You don't have my power, do you?"

Witch 3: "Not true."

Fricka: "Oh yes it's true, why to tease me still if you don't have my power."

Witch 1: "Revenge? Like we said."

Fricka: "My power is still in me, you've just putten a spell to disable it."

Witch 3: "Not true."

Fricka: "So all I need to do is overpower that spell correct?"

Witch 2: "Send him away."

Witch 3: "IT ISN'T WORKING!"

Fricka: "Oh, look who's trapped now. I was trapped with you, but now you're trapped with me."

I could see Gustavo coming closer with the needle, I need to do this quick.

Witch 1: "Use your magic to get him out, you two, we can use the power of friendship if necessary!"

The three use their magic as beams on me, it hurt but was ineffective.

Fricka: "It won't work, my friends."

Witch 2: "His power, I can feel it returning!"

Witch 3: "OH SHIT!"

The burning power rose in my heart, and then the beams they were shooting at me were taken control of my magic, it was returning.

Automatically, three beams came shooting out my chest in the same direction, battling their magic furiously.

Witch 1: "IT'S TOO STRONG!"

Witch 2: "DON'T GIVE UP, YOU TWO!"

The beams slowly reached towards them, making them scream.

Witch 3: "MAKE IT STOP!"

I knew I couldn't hold this for long, I was using my magic at my limit, so I used my magic to cross between this alternate realm and the real world, shooting my magic at Gustavo.

The beam of energy from my hands vaporized the skin of his face, pealing it off slowly, as the other three beams from my chest weakened.

Witch 1: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

As it weakened, the witches got in control again and ended the void meeting, and the time came back to normal.

Gustavo dropped his needle, as he shook with horror and pain, and I used my magic finally to blast him out the window, killing him once and for all.

The goon out of fear ran away, but Carlos grabbed the needle and used it on him.

Carlos: "IT'S FUCKING OVER, FINALLY!"

With that, my magic finally vanished once again, and we ran out of there, into the night, going on another adventure.
