CHAPTER 4: Breakout from Beyond (PART 2)

Start from the beginning
                                        

X: NO! Four there's NO way you're leaving us here! We need you!!

Leafy: X...

X jumps into the portal Four made.

Leafy: DON'T!!-

Three of them entered the portal, leading to somewhere.

...

Umbrella: Hello? ... Is anybody here?

She found herself in Artist's Tower, in a small hallway with a mysterious room up ahead. There she can hear two objects talking.

Umbrella: Hello?

[INSIDE THE COM ROOM]

Pickaxe lunged towards the inkfected figure in front of them.

Ink figure: GO ON. FIGHT ME. NONE OF YOU DESERVE MERCY.

~~~~~

Umbrella was somehow sent flying when she tried to go to the exit.

Umbrella: UGH!!!

Then there's a glitchy Four tying ropes around Umbrella, making her look like a puppet.

Four: How does it feel from the other side of the ropes?

Umbrella: How about you stop harping about the past? You have no control over me!

~~~~~

Pickaxe continued to mine the inky figure.

Inkwell: Hey, I don't think fighting would do anything to it.

Pickaxe: Wait, WHAT?

~~~~~

Umbrella was able to set herself free from Four's ropes. Now she's trying to make a run for it towards the room up ahead with Four trying to grab stop her from doing so.

~~~~~

Inkwell: Pickaxe, that's a corrupted object! The more you hit them, the ink may flow into you! You better get off of that thing right now!

Pickaxe: (slams the figure away) Oh no! Pickaxe knew that the Inkfection will come into this dimension!

Inkwell: I'm not really surprised anymore.

~~~~~

Umbrella managed to enter the room and outrun Four. Inkwell and Pickaxe got blown out from the explosion when Umbrella entered the room.

Umbrella: (cough cough) Hey!! Are you both okay??

Inkwell slaps Umbrella for some reason.

Inkwell: At least she's got a physical form.

Umbrella: W-What do you mean? Sigh... So much for trying to help everyone out huh, just getting slapped in the face for all I've done.

Inkwell: You do look suspiciously like that inked object.

Pickaxe: Do you know about the Inkfection?

The two started rambling questions towards Umbrella.

Umbrella: This is much, much worse than I thought. Say, did you two happen to encounter a certain 'spirit'? A number Four, perhaps?

Inkwell: Yeah, we've met a Four.

Pickaxe: The number Four?

Before Umbrella could complete her explanation, black holes appeared on the walls of the control room. X and Leafy got out from the holes.
