Chapter 36 - Eternal flames

After a moment of Stephen letting Revenant take a look at the others, Stephen calls them, and they start walking towards Stephen, except Revenant who hesitates and observes.

Stephen: "Alright. After the last 6 years, we had enough supplies in storage, and managed to make sure we refueled the containers for each of you. Cindervain will lead for now, but as soon as William gets used, he will be who will lead you. For now, MAL.I.C.E will share with each of you the blueprint plan to attack and erase Utah. Now, does anyone need any refuel?"

Then, they all hesitated for a second, except for Cindervain who walked a step forward.

Stephen: "Alright, come with me real quick. I'll refuel your tank. For you all, wait here while MAL.I.CE shares the blueprint plan, alright?"

They nodded, while Revenant remained hesitant and observing, and Stephen left with Cindervain.

After few seconds, Revenant walked towards the others, who remained standill still, hesitant and waiting for further instructions.

Revenant hesitated, observing each of them, up and down.

Revenant: "So, does anyone of you can speak?"

They hesitated, exchanging glances between themselves.

Echotrap: "We can talk, but is in our own way."

Echotrap is voice sounded as echos through realms, barely possible to hear and spectral, near a whisper that is heard with the soul.

Revenant: "Alright, so... Who are you, and what do you do?"

Echotrap: "I'm Echotrap. I'm who distabalizes people mentally by using illusions of their loved ones against them, including those who died, as visually or voice. I work better boosted with Remnant. My role is support, mental destabilization."

Spectrap: "I'm Spectrap. I'm the soul echo manipulator, who restrains those who died, and uses the souls for Remnant and Agony, and then refuel others or myself. My role is support, fueler."

Mimictrap: "I'm Mimictrap. I'm the deceptive assassin, as I can hide anywhere, and be in any suit including the springlock suits and fake to be a springlock endoskeleton, and also fake a springlock failure. My role is support, assassination."

Revenant hesitated, analizing mentally each of them as visually and what they shared with him.

Revenant: "Well, and who am I supposed to be then?"

Echotrap: "You're Revenant. You're the offensive one, as you can use your portable flamethrower to burn everything and not leave even the ashes; as other functions we unknown you can do, as same as we unknown what each can really do, but we're supposed to teamwork and learn, but this will be out first mission."

Revenant: "So, we're being sent withouth knowing what of each can really do?"

Echotrap: "Affirmative."

Revenant hesitated, but after a short moment, Stephen went back with Cindervain.

Stephen: "Alright, does anyone need anything else?"

Revenant: "Yes, information. How are we supposed to be a team, if we can't know about each other?"

Stephen: "Well, the best teamwork is always from the experience. Even if I tell you, the best way to learn is through working together. Each of you can be boosted with Agony and/or Remnant, but only Revenant and Mimictrap can extract from the living. Spectrap can extract from the souls of those who you killed, but only those who have Remnant and/or Agony can come back, but normally is always both, except for cases as you, Mr. Afton, as you came back this time by only using Remnant, not as last time as was only Agony."

Then, in a sudden, before Revenant could say anything, they all, received a sudden view of a blueprint, the blueprint of the plan, slowly being show to each individually in their minds as they could see by their own eyes be played, showing them where to start, and the progress they have to do.

Everything already set up, calculated, how many are supposed to die, how much Remnant and Agony they approximately may collect, and more stadistics.

Stephen: "Alright, everything is already set up for before you leave. Just follow the instructions of MAL.I.CE of where to go after leaving. Mimictrap, a springlock suit is prepared for you. And now, you can all leave, and enjoy."

Then, they all mentally started seeing and hearing instructions from a robotic cold voice.

MAL.I.CE: "Go to your left, and follow the path until approaching the fire exit."

Then, they all started walking, except Revenant who hesitated and observed them for a second before turning to look at Stephen.

Stephen: "Don't worry, use the flamethrower, have fun discovering what you and the others can do, and make sure to burn it all."

Revenant hesitated, but then his pupils glow brighter, as he suddenly started laughing for a few seconds, before following the others, guided by the instructions of MAL.I.CE.

After a short moment, they all were outside, and waited for Mimictrap to finish entering the SpringBonnie suit aside the fire exit in the inside.

Revenant reached the fire exist, observing how Mimictrap finished entering inside the suit, and it closed. Then, both walked outside, and they continued through the road, walking all the way.

The people that observed them hesitated, observing how they were simply walking through the road, careless, and spechless of how each looks.

The cars they encountered through their way, evaded them, as they continued their way.

No one dared to get in their way, as everyone was terrified of them. No one dared to call the police, or do anything, as they prefer to not cause trouble, and let them progress through their way.

After much hours of constant and nonstop walk, they finally reached Utah, and then they visually saw all 3D, seeing what was Utah and what wasn't.

Then, after seeing what was Utah and inside of Utah, Cindervain moved and started grabbing cars and throwing them to buildings. Mimictrap walked away, separating itself from the group, to hide and kill on its way as assassin. Revenant hesitated, observing, but then decided to start what he most did, kill, and so, he started walking and quickly started to run, catching people and killing them with ease, and then noticing how he was extracting blood from his fingers, but it wasn't blood, but Remnant and Agony, as he saw how his both containers were starting to slowly fill more and more.

Time passed, chaos quickly raised up, and none of them were having any mercy at all, but the true chaos didn't start yet, until suddenly, Revenant charged his flamethrower with a quick move of his left arm, and then, started flaming everything.

The road, vehicles, buildings, corpses, and people. Everything started to flame, quickly spreading even when Revenant wasn't flaming, as the Agony fuel was consuming everything more and more.

Meanwhile, in other part of Utah, Cassidy was observing everything while hiding. She was back to take William back, but she didn't knew where he was, or what to do, but now seeing this, she knew she couldn't on her own, but yet, she wasn't going to do nothing, and so, started wandering around, hiding.

After a short moment, Cassidy stopped by finding Mimictrap, as was dropping the remains of a corpse before closing the SpringBonnie suit, and both stared at each other.

The SpringBonnie suit with Mimictrap inside, and Billy the Rabbit possesed by Cassidy.

Then, Cassidy launched herself to attack, instantly connecting multiple hits on Mimictrap, but then, Mimictrap quickly started blocking and countering.

Unlike Cassidy, Mimictrap was capable of analyze the behavior of others, and did analyze Cassidy's behavior to counter her attacks.

As they fought, slowly, Mimictrap was gaining the upperhand, while in the background, more and more of Utah was being burnt into ashes.

After a short moment, suddenly grabbed Mimictrap's arms, and tried to use Billy's programming to can hack into Mimictrap's system, but Cassidy didn't know how to really use the programming of Billy, now wondering how Billy used to use it in the first place.

Cassidy hesitated, in her thoughts, but Mimictrap got free and kicked her back. Cassidy recovered quickly, and stared at Mimictrap, both staring at each other, while Utah was falling into pure chaos, but then, Cassidy moved out of Billy, and attacked Mimictrap.

Mimictrap hesitated, as Cassidy's jumpscared made him see everything dark. And after a short moment, when Mimictrap could see again, Billy was gone.

Cassidy fled from Utah, not knowing what she could do, but after being barely capable of holding against one of them, and the only one who was using a suit, made it clear to her that she couldn't handle them on her own, and admiring multiple things of Billy the Rabbit, as his programming with a lot of coding and information she could barely understand, or how he used to be that strong.

Cassidy hesitated, remaining within the trees, wondering about Billy, and admiring him mentally by how he used to things she barely understands now that she sees it all in first hand.

Meanwhile, Revenant was enjoying the maximum of burning Utah down. The flame consuming everything, not leaving even the ashes. All the streets were quickly covered in flames that seemed to never go out, just combusting what it consumed to go worse and worse.
