If you haven't heard, NBC is most likely going to renew Chuck for a fifth season. Everyone rejoice!
I do not own Chuck.

Chuck and Casey are in the cockpit while Volkoff is still cuffed in the back. They are about to land in Moscow on a private strip that Volkoff informed them about. "According to Volkoff, Vivian is most likely in her office in his old building. We're going in guns blazing," Chuck explains.
"You mean I am. You make sure the prisoner doesn't do anything stupid," Casey states.
"Exactly," Chuck states halfheartedly as he walks into the back where the armory is. He pulls out two tranquilizer pistols and holsters them. He then takes a Smith and Wesson model 5906 handgun, Sarah's favorite, and hides it behind his back.
/
They land and Casey takes a handgun and an MP5. "You're going to tell us the quickest and safest way to her office," Chuck demands of Volkoff.
"Alright, I knew you needed me for something," he smiles charmingly and Chuck nearly hits him across the face but stops himself.
"Let's go," Chuck pushes Volkoff forward while Casey leads.
/
They step into the front of the building to see two guards by the elevator and the man at the desk. "Hello men," Volkoff states loudly as they all freeze at seeing their old boss. Casey immediately fires his MP5, killing all three of them in three concentrated bursts.
"That takes care of that. Now where?" Chuck demands.
"I always was a careful man," Volkoff starts to explain with an amused smile.
"We don't have time for your god damn riddles!" Chuck scolds angrily. Times is running out on Sarah's life.
"Alright, alright," Volkoff raises his hands in surrender. "I have a secret elevator that will bypass any opposition. We just take it to the sixteenth floor."
Chuck and Casey follow Volkoff as he presses a certain pattern into the blank wall. The wall suddenly slides back and reveals a secret passageway. They walk in to see an elevator inside. "Here it is," Volkoff smiles. They all gather in the elevator and wait patiently as it ascends.
"I like this new Chuck," Volkoff smiles at Chuck. "He's ferocious."
Chuck just stands there quietly hoping that Sarah is alright and still alive. His mission is to stop the Norseman and detain Vivian. He cannot lose himself in rage or vengeance for threatening his family.
"Shut up, prisoner," Casey orders. The silence become deafening as they wait until finally the elevator dings.
"It should be just around the corner," Volkoff explains with a devious smile.
"Take him. I'll be right back. I just want to call Sarah," Chuck says as Casey nods and then pulls Volkoff out of the elevator. Chuck brings his phone to his ear as it rings and the elevator doors close. "Please pick up," Chuck mutters as he wills her to answer.
Sarah is sitting in her hospital bed with the heavy mat over her entire body. She remember Devon putting it on her.
/
"Chuck?" She groans tiredly through closed eyes as she feels the weight on her whole body.
"It's Devon," Devon states calmly. "Chuck was here a few minutes ago,"
"I missed him?" Sarah sniffles as she chokes back a sob.
"Yea, he said he was going to save you though. He seemed pretty intent on carrying out that promise."
Sarah smiles at the thought. "What are you putting over me?"
"Chuck said it would help, so you know I'd do anything to help," Devon smiles at her.
"Thanks Devon," Sarah smiles back.
/
Sarah sees her phone ringing on the counter next to her. She reaches out and grabs it. Her body is so weak that she uses nearly all her strength to grab it. She sees Chuck's face once she finally reels it back in. "Chuck?" She answers the phone to hear a heavy sigh.
"Oh my god Sarah. I miss you so much," Chuck confesses emotionally.
"I miss you too," Sarah sobs. "Where are you?"
"I'm in Russia. I'm going to save you. Just hold on. Please," Chuck lets out a cry, "can you do that for me?"
"I, I," her voice trails off.
"Sarah?" chuck asks worriedly. "Sarah? Are you still there?"
"I love you Chuck," she says weakly through heavy tears.
"I love you too," Chuck immediately responds.
"I, I'm sorry…" her voice becomes barely even a whisper.
"No! Sarah, hold on! Sarah! Sarah? Please!" He cries as he hammers his fist into the wall of the elevator. "Sarah! Please," he sobs as he hears the Sarah's phone clatter on the tiles of the hospital floor. "P—p—please," he cries heavily. He listens and hears the heart rate monitor flat lining. "NO!" Chuck yells at the top of his lungs. "SARAH!" The tears are waterfalling down his cheeks as he falls to his knees. "Why?" He cries out to no one in particular as he drops the phone to the ground. "No…" he trails off somberly as he slumps his shoulders and just cries for a couple minutes.
He finally decides to pulls himself together; gathers his cell phone and grips the gun behind his back making sure it is still there. He wipes away any remnants of tears he can and steps out of the elevator; his expression is empty of any emotion whatsoever.
"Is she alright?" Casey asks humbly.
"Yea," Chuck responds in a monotone voice. Casey eyes him carefully before dropping any thought of argument.
They walk up to the double doors of Volkoff's office and Chuck pulls out the pistol while Casey is holding Volkoff. Casey's eyes widen as he sees a real gun in Chuck's hands. Chuck's whole body manner and mannerisms has changed. He looks more robotic than anything else; like an android. He no longer has any emotion affecting his posture. He has nothing to live for now; Sarah's dead.
"Is that a real gun?" Casey asks, but Chuck ignores him as he flashes on the gun and learns how to use it with perfect accuracy.
"Yea," he mumbles as he launches a thunderous kick into the doors; blasting them open. Vivian, who was sitting at the desk, quickly jumps out of her chair, pulling a pistol out for defense. Chuck, using his Intersect skills, fires a single shot that hits her fingers on the grip of the pistol; knocking it clear out of her hand.
"Ah!" she shrieks as her right hand ring finger is now completely gone. She looks at her three fingers remaining and the blood gushing from the stub that's left of her ring finger. Her eyes widen and fear takes over.
"Where's the Norseman?" Chuck growls as he aims the gun between her eyes. Casey is dumbfounded as he has never seen Chuck shoot a real gun that didn't go off by accident.
"What?" Vivian mumbles in fear and surprise.
"WHERE IS IT?" Chuck steps around the desk and presses the gun to her forehead; the circular barrel pressing into her sweaty skin.
"It's, it's over there," Vivian points to her bottom desk drawer. Chuck follows her eyes and then smacks her with the pistol; knocking her to the ground. He opens the bottom drawer to see the Norseman activated in the otherwise empty drawer. He pulls it out and disarms it.
"Here," Chuck tosses it to the confused Casey. He has never seen such a killer mentality in Chuck before. He luckily catches it as Chuck continues digging into the drawers. Vivian is still stunned by pistol whip to the jaw as she tastes the blood in her mouth and she looks up at Chuck; pure death in his eyes.
Chuck lifts her into her chair and duct tapes her to it before she can really recover enough to struggle. She looks up at him with utter fear as he aims the gun on her left hand; the barrel pressing into her skin. "What, what do you want?" Vivian asks shakily.
"Nothing," Chuck states ominously as he fires the gun into her hand. She screams loudly at the pain coursing through her and the residual burn of the heated barrel.
"Chuck!" Casey calls him out. "What are you doing?"
"Getting my revenge before I kill myself," Chuck fires another shot into the exact same spot on the other hand. Another scream comes from the hurting Vivian. Both her hands are dripping with blood as tears stream down her face.
"Charles!" Volkoff demands as it is his only daughter. "We had a deal!"
"That was if Sarah survived. Now, stay out of this!" Chuck quickly turns to him and shouts. Volkoff can see the change in Chuck as he is no longer controlling his emotions, but they are controlling him.
"Chuck," Casey states humbly. "Don't do this."
"I have to do this," Chuck states as he looks over Vivian.
"What would Sarah think?" Casey asks; hoping to calm Chuck down.
"SARAH'S DEAD!" Chuck shouts at the top of his lungs. "THIS BITCH KILLED HER!" Tears start to form in his eyes. Casey actually flinches at Chuck's shout. He has never seen him so broken and nonchalant about inflicting pain. An even odder thing happens as Casey feels a tug in his heart. He doesn't know how to place it, but his eyes start to sting with lubrication and depression clouds over him. "She took her from me," Chuck sniffles as the tears come in full force and his eyes glass over. "My angel… she's gone. Gone forever. She was so beautiful. We were going to have the most adorable, sweetest kids, Stephen and Sam," Chuck sobs as he aims the gun at Vivian's forehead.
"Please, I'm so sorry," Vivian begs with all her heart. She never had it in her to become an evil mastermind. Chuck knows it.
"No you're not," Chuck states seriously through his tears. "She didn't do anything to you. I tried my hardest to keep my promises to you," Chuck sniffs through his glassy eyes. "I did everything I could and YOU KILLED HER!" He screams at the top of his lungs. "My Sarah," he drowns his face into his hands, "she's gone." He sobs uncontrollably as he sits on her desk. "You took my whole life from me. Two days from our wedding. We were so close," he drops his hands as he looks up at her, "until you took her from me. You took my family from me. You took everything from me and now I'm going to make you feel the pain you've caused me. You're gonna wish you were dead not even hallway through it, but it will never come," he smirks evilly through his tears. "You will beg for death but it will never come."
"Please, Chuck," Vivian cries out in utter fear. "I should never have listened to Riley."
"Too late. You better own up to your god, because you're going to wish he kills you quicker than I intend," the smirk comes back on Chuck's face. "You see, your father and I share something that my father created. It is called the Intersect. Your father used to be just a scientist until the CIA demanded he upload my father's prototype experiment. It backfired and he became the identity he was uploaded with. My father spent his whole life trying to fix him, but he never got far enough. The difference between our Intersects is mine gives me skills instead of an identity. You see, I know how to inflict the most pain on you without causing any bodily harm. It's actually a really nice perk."
"Please," Vivian begs.
"I know how to keep you alive the longest while inflicting the most pain," Chuck laughs evilly. "You're gonna feel every second of it too."
"Chuck," Casey states humbly once more. "Don't do this. This isn't you."
"I'm no one now. I became no one when my fiancée was killed," Chuck states seriously as he pulls out a lighter. "This is going to hurt," he ignites the lighter and holds it to each finger; burning them to complete blackness. Vivian screams and shrieks the entire time as she smells the horrible smell of burning flesh in her nostrils.
After every finger is blackened beyond any feeling left in her fingers, Chuck stops the lighter and pockets it. Vivian is totally broken as she is slumped in her chair, but still conscious. Casey has never seen such a horrific torture and he prides himself on torturing people.
"You shouldn't have tried to take over your father's business," Chuck explains as he lifts her head up; her eyes are bloodshot with pain and tears. "You could have become anything but you chose a villain. And you chose to kill her. Why did you have to kill her? Why did you have to take my whole life from me?" His eyes glass over but it doesn't hamper his accuracy as he fires a point blank range bullet into her right shoulder.
"AHH!" Vivian cries out is utter pain.
"Charles, please," Volkoff begs. "She's my daughter."
"Well your daughter shouldn't have killed my fiancée!" Chuck retorts as he gives Volkoff a dirty look. "She could've left well enough alone, but no. She had to kill Sarah, my angel." Chuck turns back to Vivian as she is slumped over and the blood is pouring down her chest from the gunshot wound in her right shoulder. "Your first kill was my fiancée," he sniffs as he chokes back tears and sobs. "You're gonna be my first kill. It's only fitting, huh?"
Chuck fires another shot into her left shoulder just above where the aorta is. "AHHHAHHAHH," Vivian cries profusely as the pain is too great. "P—P—Please," her voice wavers with pain and tears.
"It hurts huh?" Chuck smirks evilly. "You want it to end, don't you?" Chuck lifts her slumped head by clasping her chin tightly; her cheeks sliding up from the force of his grip. "It's not going to end. Not for a long time… And I'm gonna enjoy every moment of it." He takes a pen off her desk and jams it into her left thigh.
Vivian is too tired to even scream as she just whimpers and cries. She just wants it to end so badly. She has never been in so much pain before and she cannot take it anymore. She begs god for him to kill her faster, but her prayers are unanswered.

Chuck finally finishes his promise an hour later. Vivian confessed everything she could by the end, which Casey aptly took notes in his mind so Volkoff Industries will be finished completely. Chuck looks back at the body of what used to be Vivian. Her fingers are black, her arms are soaked with blood from the numerous cuts on her upper arms and shoulders, her face is no longer recognizable as he unleashed all his rage in a flurry of punches, and her whole upper body is drenched in her blood from the multiple gunshots in her shoulders.
He looks at the gun in his hand and raises it. He aims the barrel at his right temple. "Stop!" Casey demands as he stretches his arm out towards him.
"Why?" Chuck asks with no sliver of hope in his life. He is completely deflated and just wants to die without Sarah.
"Because this isn't you," Casey steps closer; trying to take the gun from him. "You got your revenge. Sarah wouldn't want you to kill yourself."
"I can't live without her Casey," Chuck's eyes water sorrowfully. "She meant everything to me. She was so amazing. I promised I would save her, but I failed. I failed her," Chuck finally breaks down and falls to his knees crying uncontrollably as the gun slides along the hard floor. "She was so nice to me. She trusted me and now she's gone. I can't do it. I can't move on. She was too amazing." Chuck continues to cry.
Casey has never seen someone so emotionally broken before. He has seen people broken physically after his tortures, but never has he seen someone so helpless from someone else dying. Casey picks up the gun and pockets it before placing his hand on Chuck's shoulder. "I, I loved her too," he says softly. "She was the best partner I ever had." The rarest thing happens as Chuck feels a single tear drip onto his neck. Casey actually cried.
/
Sarah weakly looks around her hospital bed; seeing five doctors including Ellie and Devon. One of them is holding defibrillator pads in his hands. "What happened?" She asks weakly as she looks at them in confusion.
"We lost you for a moment there," Ellie smiles as she brushes the hair off of Sarah's pale face.
"I, I died?" Sarah's eyes widen.
"For exactly two minutes and thirty-six seconds," Ellie squeezes Sarah's hand. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling better actually. I feel a little stronger," Sarah answers truthfully. She doesn't feel like her body is giving up on her or she is losing the will to live. It is almost like she is no longer fighting the pain as it is slowly fading away.
"That's great," Ellie smiles widely. "You should sleep. Your body still isn't up to strength."
"Where's Chuck?" Sarah asks as she doesn't see him in the room.
"He's at home trying to sleep. I forced him to," Ellie lies with a charming smile. Devon told her what Chuck had told him earlier, but Sarah doesn't need to know that Chuck is not anywhere near.
"Okay," Sarah weakly nods as she closes her eyes.
"Goodnight Sarah," Ellie places her lips softly on Sarah's forehead. Sarah's lips curl into a gentle smile as she lets her body and mind succumb to sleep.

You didn't think Sarah would actually be dead, did you? Next up is the last chapter of how Chuck and Sarah reconcile.
