Let Me Go Gravity - The Reaper's Game CYOA

A

Mike groaned as he pulled himself up slowly, making sure he could stand. He could. Quite easily...actually he felt great. He held a hand out to Zachi, but she picked herself up without taking it.

The Noise roared again, and all four players braced themselves. Jesus threw his arms up in front of him as his makeshift shield shuddered violently but held. Two Red Hood reapers were thrown through the air past them, hitting the walls on either side of the hall.

"We gotta move!" Sparkles said. The pink light embracing Mike and Zachi shut off, and none of them wasted any time in bailing. Jesus grunted as he flung the furniture towards the creature before following suit. They ran until they could turn a corner and keep out of sight.

"What the hell is that thing?" Mike blurted out.

"Feldspar machination." Jesus mumbled.

Sparkles nodded, "One hell of a Noise, that's what."

"...Khimaira Canor," Zachi said, glancing at her phone quickly, then noticing the look Mike gave her, "I had to check."

...Is that Greek? Latin?

Another roar sounded and the players cringed. Two Black Hoods came flying into view. They caught themselves before hitting the ground and flew back at it, dodging the fireballs chasing them.

"COVER!" Sparkles yelled before grabbing Jesus and vanishing. Mike reacted without thinking, covering Zachi and hitting Burnt Rubber, surrounding them both with a force field. The fireballs exploded, but Mike and Zachi were safe.

Zachi looked up at Mike. "Good thing we have bats," she said before gesturing over to where Sparkles was waving at them. Jesus was scoping out things he could levitate, and was partway through hauling over a store's display case when Zachi spoke up.

"Put it here! Sideways." She called, marking an X with her pen on the ground. Jesus looked at her before deciding to run with it and doing as she said. The display case was put down and stuck there by Zachi's ink.

"Something tall, here. Then put a bookshelf in the hole. And a bench there, like a hinge right? And then..." Zachi continued marking spots, and Jesus was catching on. Mike was a bit slower at catching on, but caught the general gist of the strategy "build a wall".

Is now really the time for tetris?

Mike looked at the other girl next to him.

"Sparkles, right? Do we have a plan to fight this thing?"

She shook her head, "Even the Reapers want it put down, but you've seen how effective they are. We couldn't even get a hit in, and they don't seem to be making a scratch."

"So what do we do?"

"Jesus and I have been running...but we can't get too far from it. Invisible walls."

The Khimaira roared again, but Zachi and Jesus's wall-in-progress held. It didn't hold against the Red Hood Reaper who was sent flying through it to land next to Mike. He groaned as he got up, hitting a pin on his hoodie and glowing slightly to heal himself.

"What's going on?" Mike said to the Reaper, but didn't get  response before he just got up and ran back towards it.

"They wont talk to us." Sparkles added.

As the Reaper passed by, he looked at Jesus and Zachi and pointed. "Take this down. It's in the way!"

"The way of WHAT?" Sparkles yelled, but was ignored. She scowled as another roar sounded, louder this time, which meant closer.

"We should get out of here. That wall won't last a fireball." Sparkles sighed.

"Tickle recipe situation flagpole!" Jesus called back, waving his arms with a tone of defiance.

Zachi nudged Mike for attention, and pointed up. "We need the ceiling lights. Could you knock them down for us?"

Mike's head was swirling.

A) Get the ceiling lights
B) Bail and get some more distance
C) Slow down and talk strategy
D) Other

A, we don't have time to think of another plan.

Ayyy, lmao

A. Killing stray reapers will get us on their s*** list.

A. We're tanky, we can take getting blown up.

"I'm gonna warn them!"

Mike dashed across the way and slid through the gap in the wall, ignoring Zachi's "Get back here!" and Jesus's "Waffles!" Mike arrived just in time to see Khimaira Canor with its back against the wall. The Reapers were assembled opposite, the Red Hoods forming a defensive line while the Black Hoods hovered in the air, shooting energy attacks down to deter it. They weren't doing any damage at all, and the Noise knew this. Its four heads seemed to be looking around, as if wondering what to trample, the wall or the flashy shooty things that had been following it.

"Mike!"

Mike snapped his attention the way of the voice. Sparkles was poking her head out from inside a store, waving at him to join her. He dashed over, skirting around the Kimaira's legs. It probably saw him, what with four heads, but it luckily didn't seem to care. As he arrived, he noticed that beside her was a Red Hood reaper...except his hood was down revealing a nervous looking guy with blonde hair and glasses, with a face that looked distinctively under-tanned.

"What-" Mike was about to say, before he heard a familiar growling.

"Down!" the Reaper yelled, before Sparkles grabbed Mike's arm and pulled him towards her quickly. The Reaper threw out a large force field that protected the three from the ensuing fireball and explosion. The Khimaira roared soon after, causing the field to shake and eventually shatter, but by that time some Black Hoods had flown in close to keep it occupied. Mike righted himself, looking at both the Reaper and Sparkles.

"What are you doing here?" said Mike to the Reaper and Sparkles, and Sparkles to Mike simultaneously. They all looked around, establishing who-talks-first dominance between glances.

"I wanted to try and interrogate a Reaper," Sparkles said to Mike.

"The wall's a giant bomb. I had to warn you." Mike said to Sparkles.

"She saved me...I owe her." The Reaper said to Mike.

"Oh...Thanks." Sparkles said to Mike.

"Saved you how?" Mike asked the Reaper.

"You wanted to interrogate me?" the Reaper asked Sparkles.

"He got his ass kicked, I can heal." Sparkles said to Mike.

"So you learn anything?" Mike said to Sparkles.

"No, because if I blabbed the GM would erase me" the Reaper said to Mike.

"That thing can't be hurt by most Psychs. The Reapers are just trying to shepherd it somewhere. They're not trying to hurt it" Sparkles said to Mike.

"I said he'd erase me! You can't save me then sell me out!" The Reaper whined at Sparkles.

"So can the wall bomb hurt it?" Mike said to Sparkles

"I dunno." Sparkles said.

"Then what else do you know?" Mike questions.

"...I'm out of heals." Sparkles admitted.

"You used the last on HIM?" Mike yelled.

"Guys, I'm right here..." the Reaper said to the both of them. He was ignored. So he was about to try and leave, but Sparkles grabbed him by the hood unamused.

"Can the explosion hurt it?" She asked, voice dropping to nearly threatening.

The Reaper tugged at his hood but her grip was too firm. "Well what's it made out of?" He asked in meek retaliation.

"Uh..." Mike stammered, "explosive ink and levitated furniture?"

The Reaper froze for a moment then face palmed, "Pressure mines and Psychokinesis lucky punks. Yeah it'll work. It'll hurt a lot and it'll make kitty very...very angry!" and with that he pulled himself free of Sparkles and donned his hood again.

...Kitty?

"I'm gonna tell the others to bail," he said while lifting himself up on his wings, "I'll uh...next time I'm erasing you, you got that!" he finished, before flying back towards the other Reapers.

Sparkles and Mike looked at each other.

"I'm pretty sure he was the one in front of the Art Gallery yesterday..." Sparkles commented.

Mike shook his head, "Never mind that! What do we do?"

"...hide?"
 
Mike looked over at the Khimaira. It was steadily being pressed back closer to the wall, and had made up its mind: wall of junk goes bye-bye. The wall was complete now, but there was a hole left in the corner he could slide through to get back. Guess Zachi isn't totally heartless.

A) Hide
B) Rush back and call off the explosion
C) Other

Is A sliding through the hole? Or would that fall under C?
...'cause I wanna go with that.

C) Defeat the noise with the amazing power of sensual dance.
