Chapter-1: The Epilogue to the End
The red fire raged behind them in the distance. The airship was catastrophically blowing up. Each machine now without a purpose was living its final seconds.
The doctor seemed to be the last one out as he hurriedly pulled a broad suitcase filled to the brim with papers sticking out from the sides. His work was important enough to risk his life for it or any goon's he could find. But the battalion was dead and only three survived.
The War-dog, Major and himself, he promised himself as he ran to re-unite with the other two. He would finish what he had started. He could see the other two in the distance along with a red body and as he got closer he could see her blonde hair color as well. His frown quickly lost it's place and a grin took up residence.
"So Fraulein, what do you think of this glorious victory? Marvellous isn't it? Death is all around us and here we are standing alone, among the ruins of a country which had once a buzzing million and like flies they were swatted down." He chuckled. He was in ecstasy. He had finally won, after all those battles, he had finally won the war.
Her body had given out and her strength had failed. The one responsible for it all was right in front of her and she couldn't lift a finger. She couldn't help but face him as the War-dog held her head up by her hair.
"You have lost and now it's to go to sleep Fraulein." Was he going to kill her? It didn't matter anyway, not anymore. She had lost everything, her master, her boss, her home and her country. She had failed them. She didn't deserve to live when everybody else lost much more. She just weakly closed her eyes, accepting it.
"By the time you awake, the world will be ours and the stage will be set. Ja, the stage of a lifetime, set on a much grandeur and spectacular stage, the world!" Seras opened her eyes and anger filled them as she looked at the fat Major. She mustered all her strength.
"Don't. You. Dare." She said with little volume but still with enough poison to kill a normal human. But the Major was neither normal nor a human. He was a monster, inhumane beyond them, insane, frightening, deceitful and cunning. He had taken everything from her. Her Master, Integra, Pip, Walter, her home, country and now it was time for her. Perhaps, she was showing too much compassion to the traitor but as you think about it. None of this would've been possible if it wasn't for him. Not her defeat, not their victory and not the end of the world as they knew it.
The fat Major chuckled, brushing her comment aside with his hand, continued. "It is time for you to go to sleep, Doctor!" He called out as he saw the tall figure approaching from the corner of his eye. "Put her to sleep." He said as the Doc' finally arrived. The doc' was the last thing she saw before the darkness consumed her world. What an unpleasant sight to go on as well.
26 years later
"I hope this is not the last of your efforts, which would greatly disappoint me. I expected so much more from you!" The Major was quite distraught with that outcome. He clicked his tongue as he took the gun from the automated machine and then aimed.
"No! Please! I'll do anything! Please." The girl shouted on but it fell on deaf ears as the Major simply pulled the trigger killing the girl's companion. Tears slowly fell from her eyes as the body seemed to fall in slow motion to the ground still smiling at her from beyond the grave. She fell upon him sobbing a bit more loudly, the Major not interested just turned away handing the gun over to Doc.
"Doc, is this not what ve vanted? A resistance? A fight that would prove worthwhile to quell, a sequel that would satiate us, an end that is penultimate brought by the greatest of monsters." The Major was clearly disappointed with the result his wish had borne. Doc just sighed, resigning as it was the only outcome that could've possibly happened.
"Yes Herr Major. This was what ve had wanted." He said, though in reality all he wanted was to create something much more than just this. Even after 26 years of research, his dream stayed just as far as it was on that day. He couldn't grasp it but he was missing something as well and he knew the Major felt the same.
The Major was slowly tapping on the arm rest of his grandiose chair. The Doc had thought the crying of the girl was the cause of further dissatisfaction and immediately signaled to the guards to take her away, to be put out of her misery. The guards seemed to spark an idea in the Major as they came closer, his eyes widened and he felt giddy for the first time in over two decades. The guards wasted no time in taking her away and the clean-up crew awaiting the orders were right outside another door but the Major seemed to smile, the Doc didn't miss it as he raised his brow in wonder pausing in wait for the sure to come words.
The Doc could finally see the full-fledged smile as the Major had concocted a plan to make this resistance a lot more fun.
"It's time Doc, time for another var. A Grand Finale. The one which ve have promised yet have failed to deliver." The Doc wondered what the last line meant as he remembered of no such promise being made but the Major knew of it all too clearly. The Major never expected the world to just fall at his legs and ask for mercy. It was the ultimate disappointment, the let-down of his life-time. Cowards ran this world and he knew exactly why they did, there was never any opposition! You need a purpose to drive you and without that, we are lost.
Maybe, just maybe the world still had a tiny bit of hope but the Major didn't have the slightest of intention to throw a war, he would enjoy it for all it was worth just like any other and alas, it was time!
