Ep 89. Ground Zero

11/14/25

Still by the re-spawn terminal, Gum and Wanda glare at each other, with Wanda hanging upside down. Wanda says, They'll re-spawn me in Ankh, you know. The next panel shows a wider shot of the room, showing Wanda hanging by her feet from the top of the terminal. Her tail has been chopped off, there is a pile of her own corpses by the machine, and below her the ground is stained red with blood. Wanda continues talking, saying, You'll either die here or die somewhere else. I'll tell the king everything. And if she doesn't do anything about you, I will. Gum, gritting her teeth, says, She's just as likely to wipe you from everyone's memories. Y'know, do the world a huge favor.

Wanda says, Unfortunately for you, she tends to sympathize with me. Gum, skeptical, asks, You mean empathize? Wanda, now offscreen, says, If you're going to slit my arms, just do it already. Gum replies, Don't have to tell me twice. The next panel is another wide shot of the room, this time from in front of the re-spawn terminal instead of from the side. Wanda's now-dead husk still hangs from the ceiling while Sharps, Razor, Fuzzball, and Gum sit together on the floor over yet another husk. Sharps is holding a knife, Razor is scarfing down Wanda's removed tail, and Fuzzball and Gum are talking. Razor is heavily bandaged with pink gauze. From the giant pile of husks and the re-spawn terminal there is a big, smeared trail of blood, leading to Sharps's workspace.

Later, in the same room but further from the hanging body, Sharps, Gum, and Fuzzball gather around a partially-completed cloak made from Wanda's skin while Razor naps nearby. Sharps sews carefully while Gum wraps herself in pink gauze. It's the same pink gauze that Razor has wrapped around her limbs and body. Fuzzball looks very interested in what's going on. Finally, Fuzzball, Razor, and Sharps are shown standing in a line. Fuzzball has her hands clasped in front of her, Razor is hunched looking skeptical, and Sharps stands with her hands on her hips. Sharps asks, So, do you like it? Gum, in a close-up, finishes pulling on the new cloak. Text beside her reads, Tug.

Gum answers, I love it, posing in her new fur outfit and continuing, This is some of your best work. The outfit consists of a hooded cloak, baggy pants, and animal paw slippers, all made from Wanda's fur and skin. Gum also now wears a headband and, over her chest and arms, gauze wrapped tightly over more fur and securing the legs of her pants over her slippers. Razor, still skeptical, looks down at Fuzzball and says, I'm glad I can just, y'know, grow my own fur. Sharps, meanwhile, sheepishly scratches at the back of her head, saying, I guess it's a little better than my cosplays.

Gum, looking at Razor, says, Hmph. It's getting so cold that your winter coat's coming in. Before anyone else can say anything, though, Fuzzball jumps between them both and exclaims, You look hot! Razor raises an eyebrow, Sharps shoots her a freaked out look, and Gum after a moment of hesitation says, I'm wearing someone's skin. Razor, glaring, changes the subject, asking, Hey. Are we gonna leave now or not? The next panel has them back in the hallway, in front of where the Egstrom wave ended. The flood is now frozen into solid ice. Razor stands on all fours, with Fuzzball, Gum, and Sharps sitting on her back in that order. She is also carrying a backpack in her teeth, and Gum has her headlamp on again. Voice muffled, Razor asks, Are you sure this is safe, Gum? Gum answers, I wasn't able to break the ice. We have your feet wrapped up pretty thick, too.

As Razor carries everyone over the ice, Gum leans out a bit, commenting, Looks like I'm sitting on you again. Fuzzball giggles, and Razor growls, both sounds communicated by brown text saying, He he, and red text saying, Grr. As they approach an arch labelled, Tunnel A, with a sign hanging from it saying, Exit A, they're hit by a cold wind, shown by winding text reading, Woosh. Fuzzball exclaims, That is cold for the Rings! Then, looking down at the back of Razor's head, she curiously asks, I like your uh, what are these? Space buns?

As she pulls apart the fur sticking out from the back of Razor's head, however, she's left face to face with her own bloodshot eye, hidden deep within. Looking haunted but not dropping her smile, she lifts both her hands away, text beside her hands saying, Lift. The group then exits the tunnels and enters the city proper, finding it a frozen wasteland. Snow is piled over the tunnel entrance and the ground is completely iced over. Sharps, disturbed, asks, Gum, what the fuck is this?

Gum, at first ignoring Sharps, says, Razor, let's hurry back to our building. Sharps, more freaked out than before, says, Dude. Seriously? Gum turns around to look at her, visibly nervous, and says, You have to trust me. Close your eyes. Sharps, though obviously scared, does close her eyes, responding, Fine, but, you'd better explain what's going on.

The next page is completely black.

The next page is almost completely black. From the top of the page down, however, it's steadily filled with more and more text reading, Caw caw caw, the text getting redder and redder the further down it is. Towards the bottom of the page, there is a speech bubble, one of Sharps asking, Gum?

There's a close-up shot of Razor's wrapped-up paws as she runs through the snow, surrounded by caws. Large text by her front paws reads, Chuff, as her claws hit the ground. Unseen, Fuzzball shouts, Razor! What is that? Razor's muffled voice answers, I don't know? I've never seen it! As the caws continue around her, Sharps cracks open an eye to peek.

That eye widens as she gets a look at the city for the first time, terror hitting her as she stares up at the sky. Up in the clouds, Threespines looms over the city, now surrounded by massive murders of cawing, diving crows.

Freezing up, Sharps begins to fall backwards, text by her paws reading, Slip, as she loses her grip on Gum's cloak. Gum turns, panicked, grabbing tightly to Sharps's hands with her own to keep her from falling off of Razor's back. Large text emphasizes this, reading, Grab. In a wider shot showing the whole group, Fuzzball screams, Razor! as Razor continues to run. Meanwhile, Gum holds on desperately to Sharps, who seems to have completely frozen stiff and begun to play dead. They're still surrounded by the caws of the crows.

Sweating profusely, Gum looks up and past Sharps, only to widen her eyes in horror at what she finally sees behind them. Her widened eyes show the effects of Apparitia, giving her the look of having three pupils, and veins leading up to the central one. With a rumble, Fragmenta surges down the street after the group, a terrifying black cloud of un-assimilated crows swooping over it. Aside from the giant text at the top of the panel reading, Rumble, the rest of the page is flooded with more and more caws as Razor runs for their lives.
