Chapter 23 - Side Show

After struggling a bit Keem drops the bat and begins to roll away as his drones leave aswell to scout the place. One hides in the mimes pocket to monitor him.

"Standing 7 meters tall and biceps and big as tree trunks we have The Wall" The moustache guy on the loud speaker. The ideal escape would be the whole he just made but The Walls body is taking up the entire hallway to the point Aisha can't even see the whole. The Wall begins to give chase prompting Aisha to throw her kunai at the loud speaker creating an arc of electricity that staggers her assailant. She runs in the opposite direction weaving around the pressure plates she had identified previously "Wait he's so big, can he even traverse the traps?" thought Aisha. Aisha looks back as she makes a jump over several plates. The Wall grabbed a peice of the wall he busted and chucks it at her. "Dig 2" she dashes through the area nearly avoiding the projectile but her foot gets snagged by the collapsing walls the chunk triggered.

"Normally when I do a job I'd research the place to know schedules and the ins and outs and shit" thought Zemeki "or at least scout the place, unfamiliar territory can be a death sentence, damn Aisha what were you thinking". He hears voices and crawls into a vent to hide. He hears a high pitched laugh and feels something biting his leg. "Wah ha ha ho" Zemeki tries to grab whatever is biting him. It begins gnawing and punching his hand. Footsteps can be heard approaching the vent. "... got 98 bottles of beer on the wall..." sings the voice calmly. Another of whatever is biting him climbs on him. Zemeki smothers it with his quilt and leaves the vent "I may have been found out" he thought. The creature's biting him looked like people with ant sized bodies but with a head 10 times larger and covered in clown make up. The creature's head spazzes and darts toward the singing person. "Did the intruder vent? they shouldn't do that". Zemeki prepares himself for a fight, but then the footsteps stop just out of view. "It looks like you're on cooldown, killing you like that just wouldn't be fair" said the voice as 2 small and 1 large balls begin to roll in Zemeki's direction.

Keem wanders the complex finding all sorts of weird shit. A room with a ball pit, a empty room with a wax statue of Gonzaqi in the center, and one filled with animal themed animatronics. As well as some normal rooms like a boiler room, which is the one Keem enters and begins operating on the tanks, puncturiung them and placing something to the side of the doorway. The mime searched all the rooms eventually arriving at the boiler room. The mime hears a whizzing sound as Keem had punctured the gas tanks but also a ticking one. The mime tries to leave but Keem is blocking the doorway. Thinking bombs are about to detonate so he creates and invisible dome around him. Keem leaves the area to leave the mime to his fate. The drone hiding on the mime reveals itself. Flashback of the drone crawling down the pursuer's pants and grabbing a match. The drone lights the match inside the dome and the mime begins to suffocate. Keem leaves to find the others as an explosion happens behind him.

The Wall is breaking through all of the traps. Aisha resting against the wall throws the water bottle in front of a pressure plate. As the wall breaks through that one she throws her kunai turning it into iron around the bottom of his feet. "All I need is one hit" She crawls toward the kunai "otherwise..." She is about to stab the dude's feet when he begins to change. "AAAAAAAHHHH" He forms a constipated position as energy begins to fly off him. Aisha is unable to penetrate The Wall with her Kunai. He grows wolf and catfish like features as well as spikes along his back and arms. Aisha is knocked back and the floor breaks from the massive release of energy. She rappels into a vent to escape. Screams can be heard as the place shakes and The Wall shoots electric spikes randomly some penetrating the vent forcing Aisha to duck which makes noise. Steam is coming off of the ground and he returns to normal. "Maybe the water created some sort of feedback loop hurting him" She begins to transmute the electricity around the walls and the vent into water soaking the guy. He screams and falls to the ground changing back. "I don't need any transformations to deal with you" he says and he readies himself to jump. Seeing this Aisha rappels to the other wall deactivating dig 3. The Wall gets flooded with electricity burning him. She jumps down stabbing him in the eye causing iron spikes to shoot out of him.

"There" pointed a friend of the bird chow to Z-Co. Animal control looks around to find nothing the Cokusy and the body are gone without a trace. "We'll patrol the area see if we find anything"
