(Chester and Geoff)
The next two days were pretty chill. Aside from Geoff and Chester still aching while apart, nothing of note happened. The companions still worked, Lola was still jealous, and Patrick was still an older homie. The only other thing of note was that Geoff and Chester were a bit closer now. It was hard to explain, but the two seemed a little more comfortable w/ each other. It was very subtle, and Patrick didn't really notice it, but Lola did, and quietly resented Chester all the more for it. This mellowness lasted until Saturday.

(Chester and Geoff)
Geoff stirred earlier than usual that Saturday due to a loud ringing sound coming from his phone. As Geoff got up and rubbed his eyes, he saw Chester digging his claw into the tallied and covered wall. Thread gave Geoff a tiny wave before returning to drinking Chester's blood.
"Oh, hee hee, you're awake early :3!" Chester said while giggling.
Geoff cocked an eyebrow.
"Dafuq?"
Chester giggled as he pulled his clawed finger off of the wall.
"I'm just keeping track of how long my dad has been gone. Usually, you're asleep when I do this, heh heh :}!"
As usual, Geoff held his tongue to avoid Chester's instability. Sighing, Geoff picked his phone off the floor (he didn't have a nightstand for it).
"Yello?" Geoff asked the caller.
"Uh, Eddie?" Lola asked.
"Yeah, Lola?" Geoff asked.
"Um, can you please go to the part of the city that has the bakery? There's someone or something here terrorizing the place and I could really use some assistance!"
Geoff closed his phone and immediately got out of bed.
"What's happening now :3?" Chester asked.
"Situation near the only bakery in the city," Geoff said while leaving the room.
Chester got excited at that.
"OOO! Can we get some sweets?!"
"Maybe!" Geoff called from the other room, "Depends on the fucking price!"
After getting dressed and eating breakfast, Geoff, Chester, and Thread made their way to the bakery. It took them about half an hour on foot to get to that part of the city. In front of the bakery, Lola stood staring off in a different direction w/ a weird look and a bag of baked goods.
"Heya," said Geoff.
"Hello, hello, hello :D!" Chester said cheerily.
Lola smiled at Geoff but gave Chester a look.
"What's up?" Geoff asked.
Lola got an unpleasant expression.
"I was trying to get to the flower shop in this part of the city, but there's this cunt w/ cyan knives and her posse of cyan creatures stopping me from getting there!"
Chester giggled at those words while Geoff gave Lola a cocked eyebrow.
"Did you steal some of my cherry whiskey?" Geoff asked.
"*gasp* How did you know?!" Lola asked.
"Wait, the actual fuck?!" Geoff asked angrily.
Lola then quickly shook her head.
"Just kidding, just kidding! *nervous laughter*," Lola said.
Chester's giggling evolved into full-on laughter as he wrapped his gooey arm around Geoff. Lola, noticing this, began to silently fume and steam even began to come out of her head. Geoff, calming down, noticed this and read the message that appeared on Lola's screen.
"Lola, you're overheating," Geoff said.
Lola, realizing, this, became flustered and held her TV head in her hands.
"Ooooh, shit! Don't look at me when I'm like this! Just go, go already!" Lola shouted.
Geoff, backing up, simply walked away, while Chester followed suit.

(Chester)
Chester spared a glance back at Lola. Lola, meeting his gaze, did the motion w/ pointing two fingers at both of their eyes and sliding a finger across her throat. Chester, amused at that, wagged his left finger at her and forcibly clenched his hands as if crushing someone's neck while giving Lola a scary smile while Thread hissed at her. Lola stepped back in fear at this and Chester giggled as he and Geoff walked off.

(Chester and Geoff)
MISSION START!
(Song: Route 99 Sonic Generations Remix)
After a bit of going forward, Geoff and Chester spotted the first enemy. It was a strange, dark cyan, girly-looking that held the same colored knife. Before Geoff could bring out his staff, though, Chester put his hand on Geoff's shoulder.
"Um, before we go, can we do the thing from yesterday?" Chester asked timidly.
Geoff looked up at him and sighed.
"Fine, I guess," Geoff said.
Chester, excited, immediately turned amorphous and splashed onto Geoff's torso. As Chester turned into a hoodie, Geoff shuddered and breathed hard.
Holy fuck, this feels weird! Geoff thought.
Eventually, Chester was done, and he was back to being a webbed hoodie. Thread, like before, sat on Geoff's shoulder. Once the process was finished, Geoff looked up w/ a sigh.
"Fina-fucking-lly," Geoff said.
After that, Geoff summoned his weapon. For some reason, though, it wasn't his weapon. It was Chester's red bladed chain! Geoff's eyes grew at this.
"What the hell?!"
"Ooo! You can use my weapon! That's so amazing :D!" Hoodie-Chester shouted.
Geoff, panicking a bit, made another weapon appear in his right hand. This time, thankfully, Geoff's staff appeared, much to his relief. After that bit of scariness, Geoff/Chester finally moved forward. The stage itself was actually pretty chill. While there were some dark cyan spikes at some points, the level was pretty much a straight line that sometimes curved up or down. The main source of difficulty came from the enemies themselves. They were dark cyan girly-looking and used dark cyan knives as weapons. These things ended up being incredibly annoying as these enemies were really fast and they could easily pepper the companions w/ streams of knives! In response, Geoff had to be quick w/ his two weapons. Luckily, though, Chester was a great help. Not only could Geoff now use both of their weapons, but Chester helped quite a bit by extending his top half out of the hoodie and attacking the enemies w/ his bare, gooey hands alongside Geoff.
(Mash attack button near enemy to unleash G/C combo when both weapons are out. Press a, B, circle, or T to use either weapon independently).
Overall, things were frenetic and pretty exciting. For Geoff, he was stoic throughout. For Chester, he was laughing and smiling since he was having so much fun! Eventually, though, the companions reached the boss. It was a dark-haired girl wearing a sailor uniform. She had a dark cyan knife in her hand and a mad look in her eyes. Geoff readied his weapons.
"I'm guessing your not the reasonable type," Geoff said.
Giggling (much to Chester's chagrin), the girl summoned dark cyan knives in a semicircle behind her.
"Nope. Guess not," Chester said.
FIGHT START!
(Song: Gibril's Stage from Azure Striker Gunvolt 2)
The fight was like the stage before, frenetic and energetic. The girl ran and jumped all over the place, shooting out her knives all the while. In response, Geoff simply used his and Chester's weapons while Chester used his arms and body to attack. Everyone's health kept dropping steadily throughout the whole thing. Eventually, Geoff and Chester's dropped down to 52% and the boss was at 15%! The psycho girl then began to chuckle darkly.
"What's so funny?" Geoff asked.
"Geoff! Watch out! I can feel this girl's energy spiking up!" Hoodie-Chester shouted.
Geoff, confused, was about to ask what Chester meant when the girl screamed upwards. Geoff and Chester had to cover the places where their ears were. Suddenly, dark cyan flames engulfed the boss and her health dropped all the way to 1%! Immediately, the boss flew lightning fast around the place, shooting out knives super fast! As a result, Geoff could barely dodge these, and his and Chester's health kept steadily dropping down to 20%! After a lot of failed attempts of hitting the boss, eventually, Chester managed to shoot his arm at the flaming girl and it connected! As a result, the boss screamed, dropped down, and her SOUL flames died away.
VICTORY!
After the psycho girl fell, her cracked, dark cyan SOUL came out alongside a weird, wispy cyan thing. Curious, Geoff stepped forward. Suddenly, dark flames erupted from the ground and surrounded the companions up to the neck!
"What the-?!" Geoff and Chester shouted simultaneously.
Then, they heard a familiar laugh as Lilith appeared. She grabbed the SOUL.
"THANKS FOR DOING THE HARD PART, BOYS!"
"You bitch!" Geoff shouted.
Chester, in comparison, simply shook violently on Geoff's torso. As Lilith began to fly away, suddenly, a bladed chain flew from Hoodie-Chester and struck Lilith, much to Geoff's shock.
"GAH!" Lilith shrieked while ripping the bladed out, "WHY YOU UNGRATEFUL CHILD! YOU'RE LUCKY I DON'T HAVE THE TIME!"
She immediately flew off as another bladed chain was sent out. Chester, disgruntled, disintegrated one chain and pulled the other towards himself. It had a darkly bloody piece of Lilith on it. To Geoff's horror, Chester fricking ate the thing!
"Dude, what the actual fuck?!" Geoff shouted.
Chester simply shrugged while his top half still extended out of his hoodie form.
"I dunno. Something about it just felt right :P."
Geoff shuddered and shook his head.
Jesus, why'd I have to get stuck w/ a guy who's into some freaky shit? Geoff thought.
Suddenly, the wispy cyan thing from earlier moved towards the companions. Confused ad bewitched, the two watched as the thing split into and flowed into them. Suddenly, their visions went dark. After that happened, the companions saw some glitched and unfinished images that could barely be recognized. Almost immediately, though, Geoff and Chester were back in the real world, blinking hard. Then, suddenly, Geoff's head was pounding and Chester's body felt pretty achy, and the two immediately rubbed their hurting parts.
"Dafuq was that?!" Geoff asked.
"I don't know, I don't know!" Chester shouted.
Thread simply did nervous little dances on the sweater. Geoff, still rubbing his head, spared a glance at Chester and his eyes grew wide. Chester's eyes were dark cyan!
"The hell happened to your eyes?" Geoff asked.
Chester looked back at Geoff and his expression mirrored Geoff's.
"I could ask you the same thing! Your eyes are greenish-blue, and I can see bits of black in there!"
Geoff immediately grabbed his face and screamed. Chester mirrored the action distortedly as Geoff ran off and Chester receded into the hoodie. The hoodie shook quite a bit, though.

(Chester and Geoff)
After some walking and calming down, Geoff and Chester were finally back to Lola.
"Oh, did you get rid of that stupid cunt?" Lola asked.
Geoff nodded. Lola smiled before noticing Geoff's eyes.
"What happened to your eyes?"
Geoff sighed.
"I don't know. Something flowed into me and Chester. I'm going to check it out later."
"Huh. Speaking of which, where is Chester? Did you ditch him :]?" Lola asked
Chester's top half popped out of the hoodie.
"Heya >:]!" Chester said.
At this, Lola's face became disappointed. When she pieced things together, however, her face suddenly became enraged and horrified.
"Are you... attached to each other?" Lola gritted out (it actually sounded kind of like static).
Geoff sighed.
"Of course, we are, and it feels great :3!" Chester said happily.
Lola kept gritting her teeth as she overheated again. Reading the signs, Geoff quickly walked away. Chester simply smiled smugly at Lola from behind Geoff while holding his face in his hands. Lola, pushed past the breaking point, screamed. Geoff, hearing this, quickly rushed off while Chester laughed.
