(Max's POV)
As soon as Jessica came back with the RV, with a +anima and a story of a new epidemic I knew, as they say, the crap had really hit the fan. And it had. The next two weeks was spent in an insane flurry of preparation- recruiting candidates, stockpiling supplies, getting ready. And it paid off. At exactly the time the krelp had predicted the epidemic went off. It began slowly at first; just some people had it and it seemed just like an ordinary flu, but it wasn't. By the end of the week people were dropping like flies, with not even time to get to the hospitals, not that it would help- the doctors were infected too. By the end of the month, the entire world had been decimated, cities abandoned, refuse and dead bodies littered the streets. Only the mutants, as predicted, had survived. I do not know, and may never know if either my mom or Jeb had survived; as far as I knew they were just normal people, but… We had left the continental United States, all twelve thousand of us mutants and newly turned +anima who had banded together in anticipation of this catastrophe, and now we were on Hawaii, building a better life, one building at a time. I gazed into the sunset on a secluded rock high up the main island's active volcano holding Fang's hand. We would rebuild, and we would do it better than the adults ever had. We plans for the future, from short term, such as building houses, to long term, such as expanding back into the rest of the world, but for now I was content to just hold Fang's hand.

I realized that this story had stagnated, so I decided to give it a quick, hopefully painless end. I may or may not do a sequel to this, but if I do it will not be in the form of a sequel, I will summarize previous events and hope more people decide to read it. For all the trouble I had writing this story, I still feel kind of sad that it is over- just as I finish it I can smell new plotlines for it on the horizon, but I digress. I recently started another story, an inheritance cycle/+anima crossover that demands my attention, so to those of you who read this and commented on it, especially you, NicoXChiku says Catac thank you and goodbye!
