This is it. The final chapter. What will happen? Gwen has been taken hostage by terrorists, and Cody's not going to take this lying down. Will he save her in time? I sure hope so…

Chapter 7: Finale

Cody's limo charged through the open traffic like a bat out of hell, until it reached its destination, Owen's Singing Bar, Cody jumped out of the limo and headed towards the front door, but was stopped by police.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, where the hell do you think you're going?" A portly police officer spoke, trying to stop Cody from entering.

"I am Major Cody Anderson, and I command you to let me through." Cody tried to take charge.

"Look, I'm sorry, Major, but those guys have it sealed off, you charge in there, and you die." Cody looked down and retorted,

"Give me a gun." The officer grew angry.

"Look, I just said…" Cody grabbed him and repeated,

"I said...Give me a gun." The officer backed off, and asked his armory expert to give him a silenced combat rifle. "And… give me a flash." The officer gave him a flash-bang grenade. "Look, tell everyone here to turn their lights off, and to face away on my signal, I don't want to blind anyone but the men inside. I have had experiences like this back years ago, do it silently, I don't want to give these guys the idea that were going to charge in."

"Good idea." The officer spoke, and started relaying the message across, the lights were off, and were ready for the signal. Cody put a SWAT snake cam under the door and checked the area, a guy was on the left, and a guy was hiding on the right, but so easily spotted.

"Alright," He flipped his hand around, which was the signal. Everyone turned away.

"Hey, Major." The officer spoke. "Good luck, pal." Cody, pulled the cam away, opened the door, surprising the terrorists, and tossed the grenade in, giving a flash of light, incapacitating the men, Cody ran in, looked to the right, fired a three round burst into the first man, and quickly adjusted his aim for the second man, easily picking him off. Cody then silently headed for the staircase at the end of the room.

"LISTEN TO ME, COPPERS! I AM GOING TO KILL HER IF I DON'T GET MY MONEY!" Cody quickly charged to the roof, but stopped to notice something…a pistol clip, on the staircase, Cody kicked open the door, watching the man holding Gwen by the neck, and his gun in the air. The man, hearing the door, turned around, Gwen was blindfolded, so she couldn't see who could be saving her. "So that's how it's going to be, eh? You're going to try and stop me?" The man laughed. "I hope you have a heart for a tragic ending!" The man pulled the trigger next to Gwen's head.

**Click-Click**

The man looked at his gun, embarrassed, and tried again.

**Click-Click**

Cody held up the clip and threw it off the roof. The man seemed to be reaching for another gun, but Cody was ready, he pulled out a military ballistics knife with one incredibly deadly detail, an air propelled knife launcher, flying into the man's heart. The man staggered back, pulling Gwen with him as he fell overboard, Cody was quick on the charge, Gwen fell off, but had been caught.

The blindfold fell off, she could easily hear the gasping and screaming. Gwen looked down and realized the situation, she was on the edge of a building, falling to her doom, and was starting to fade out. This wasn't like the first challenge back on Total Drama Island, she knew she was going to die. She passed out in mid air.

Cody pulled her over the wall and laid her back on the small fence. He looked back to see the man, on the street, who had obviously fallen to his death. The lights went back on, Cody flinched, blinded by the light, and noticed everyone clapping, Cody noticed the TD cast and crew, who seemed shocked to see him alive, but still applauded his saving effort. Cody returned to look over Gwen, who was still out. Cody checked her pulse, revealing that she was stable, and started trying to wake her up.

Gwen started trying to open her eyes, she kept hearing.

"Come on, Gwen. Wake up." She started thinking,

No it couldn't be.

It can't be

Maybe it is!

Her eyes regained focus, it was Cody, trying to help her.

"Am I dead?" Gwen asked, Cody immediately quit to give her some air. She stood up, and felt his face, and realized that she must be dreaming, there is no way a ghost saved her from certain death.

"Is this a dream?" She then asked.

"You want to find out?" Cody responded, and the two embraced, the audience watched and quickly applauded, even Duncan and Trent. The two finished and looked to the skyline, and to their peers, and the crowd cheered even louder. She quickly realized that this wasn't a dream.

"Cody, I never got to say this to you…But… I love you." Cody smiled.

"I love you too." Cody responded.

"I know." Gwen then pulled in Cody for a kiss, the crowd growing louder and louder, the two then finished "You want to go home?" she asked.

"Let's." Cody simply responded, the two headed out of the building, arm in arm.

Epilogue

It had been almost 6 months since Cody returned from Afghanistan, and the two were on the roof of Gwen's apartment, laying down beneath the moon.

"Wow, look at all those stars!" Gwen exclaimed, but got no response. "Cody, can I ask something?"

"Sure!" Cody replied.

"How was death? Just asking." Gwen asked, hoping not to offend her boyfriend.

"Actually I have wanted to explain it for a long time to you, but now's a good time." Cody sat up, with Gwen following suit, leaning on his shoulders. "I saw black, just black, but then I saw light, and I saw someone, I 'm not sure who, but he told me, that I was needed somewhere else, with someone I really loved, and that someone else was with you."

"Awww…" Gwen started to tear up. Gwen hugged him, and nuzzled on his neck. The two then looked to the stars, noticing one falling from the sky.

"Look!" Gwen pointed. "Did you make a wish?" She asked.

"No I didn't. My wish already came true, to be with you."

"I did, but to be with you...forever." The two stood up and started to kiss. Cody was alive, Gwen finally found true love, and thankfully for her, it was never going to change.

Well, that is it. I'd like to thank my fans, because I probably would have never really finished this without them, and don't be sad, even though this chapter has ended. I've still got to finish a lot of other things as well. So reporting from Zombieland, this is umk23. Good night, and god bless.
