Alright! Here's the astounding climax of the murder mystery! Remember, what is expressed here isn't real, so let's just read and enjoy! I only own Kitten and the Metagang, please read and review, thank you!

Everyone was talking as TL then smirked, his eyes sparking.

" NOW, I think I got the identity of the killer . . ."

Everyone gasped silently.

" THE KILLER IS-"

CLING!

A gun was cocked to the back of TL's head.

Thunder boomed as wind bellowed, everyone gasped as a fwe stood up in shock. TL was clenching his fist as his eyes turned to the holder of the gun. D-Dude and Lunatic backed up, Kitten was nearly blubbering, DP was pulling out his staff and the other Keyblade wielders were preparing to silence the villain.

" It all pieced together just like that . . ." TL growled, trying to keep his energy at bay, " it was all you, because you just couldn't stand to lose . . ."

There was a wicked cackle as a twisted smile formed on the person's face.

" CORRECT, stubborn hedgehog . . . but you forget, this wasn't just my doing . . . it was my dear Jashin's . . . "

AdventChild was standing behind him, looking like an executioner from the Wild West. The others were stunned or grabbing their weapons.

" A-Advent . . . w-w-why?" KItten sniffled.

" You killed your brother!" Dawn howled.

Advent sighed as he lowered the gun an inch, still aimed at TL, whose body was quivering. D-Dude and Lunatic were getting their weapons out, still processing everything with everyone else.

Ranger cocked a pistol and aimed for Advent's skull.

" What in God's name were you fucking thinking you demented sone of a bitch?"

" Now now, Ranger, I was not in this alone . . . Allow me to explain . . ." Advent smirked, a Cheshire grin working across his face.

" THen go ahead, you got a few before we shred you for hurting mny boyfriend!" Mira growled loudly, her mirror out.

" Sheesh, you could so SO much better."

" Says the guy who has white hair and worships a demonic lord."

" NO ONE ASKED YOU!"

Rook and the others were ready to fight as Advent cocked the pistol, aiming at TL's head once more. He pulled him back and curved his arm around his neck. He was trapped by the Jashinist, no where to run and Hanabi was flipping out already.

" Since you all figured it out, allow me to recollect my history of this . . ."

' For the longest time, Faker and I have been at it to see who was more insane, and my recent victory of Most Insane Author was enough to satisy me . . . '

Advent smirked as he glanced at the award on his shel-

XXX~

" HEY! I AM NOT A FAKER! I AM TOO INSANE!"

" SHUT UP AND LET ME FINISH!"

XXX~

Advent walked past DP's room, where he was talking to someone else inside. He peeked inside, scythe on his back, seeing a familiar white haired man laughing his head off with him. Another recognizable character was a brunette Jedi ninja. Their conversation was pretty much about the so-called Metagang and how one had 'the appearance of Madonna' and 'Vic Mignogna's voice'.

Noodle incidents and random comments and running gags and Heel Face turns.

He felt his jaw grit.

No, not this time.

' It wasn't until LATER I realized there were those who were more insane than I was . . . enough to give a grown man a drive to drink for the rest of his life after only a week . . . I felt disgraced, humiliated, and more to the point, disappointed in myself.'

Advent turned from DP's door as he was discussing with Air, changing their subject to the 5 Year Anniversary.

He felt a mix of emotions, and was already ready to to commit a sacrifical ceremony for ten days straight, but where to find the bo-

" The metagang coming?" DP asked.

Rook groaned, saying," Yeah . . . Kitty's idea . . . but I've got Trisha with me alongside Wandrex and Lilly."

" Nice," DP smiled, writing it all down. " Now we need to be sure that the place is clean and everything before we head out there. I don't wanna see people having allergy attacks, no SEX, and no major stuff."

" . . . what was that second one?" Rook asked, blankly.

DP was flat faced as Advent away from the door, overshadowed eyes. A demonic grin sewed its way onto his face.

' I suddenly felt great . . . I knew if I wasn't the most insane, I'd scare them into thinking that I was!'

XXX~

" But, that doesn't really explain much," Mira growled, her mirror shaking. " What happened?"

" I'm getting to it," Advent looked grim as he glanced back at the edge of the gun. " I was already getting my plan in action . . ."

XXX~

Advent cut a hole in a section of the dining room wall, smirking as he placed the .22 Calibur in the side of the area. He carefully cocked it and tied the string to the timer, glancing to the chair, where Wandrex' name was placed.

' The initial phase one of my plan was to cause a major panic to everyone by nearly killing one of the more insane members . . . '

Advent smirked as he walked over to his side.

Later . . .

" That also spread to - X? What are you doing?" DP asked, freaking.

" Trying to stop that blonde gay from looking at me like that," X growled at Haru.

" I'm just trying to figure out what's behind the mask!" he yelled standing. " Dang it! EVERYONE is ALWAYS trying to KILL me or SOMETHING!"

" I have your something RIGHT HERE GAYBOY!" X yelled standing up shaking a gun.

Advent was wide eyed as he also rose with the rest of the group trying to stop them. Kitten and Ranger were already arguing as well, as he also cocked a gun. It was as if the ticking of the timer was only hearable to Advent's ears.

' I never knew that Wandrex and my own brother would swap places, by Jashin I swear, and what happened next . . . ?'

BANG!

Silence followed by the thunder and lightning, X's dead and bloody body lying on the floor, sad and dead eyes already on Advent.

" T-T-Tia . . ."

Advent felt a small tear fall.

' I never wanted to kill my brother . . .'

XXX~

He sniffled and wiped and eye.

" I never really wanted to kill anyone, and I never wanted to even KILL my own brother . . . worst idea ever . . ."

" At least you feel remorse," Kitten smiled, much to the chagrin of Advent," we're making progress."

" NOT necessarily, Kitten," he smirked, his insane grin reappearing. " You see, afterwards, part one of my plan was already executed, so, through inadvertedly slaying my brother, I gained the fear and cabin fever I needed for phase two to work."

" Phase two?" Banjoamru asked, shaking. " Freaking now . . . "

" Amen brother," Rook said, his Keyblade still shaking.

" Yes, but before that, while everyone was arguing about who killed X, I went back and wiped the gun clean of my fingerprints before anything else was discovered," he said."

TL growled and said," Then why go ahead and commit the other murders?"

Advent smirked.

" Then let me tell the rest . . . geez, ever heard of manners?"

" Has Jashin?"

" SHUT UP AND LET ME TALK!"

XXX~

Advent was humming to himself as he walked upstairs, his scythe shining in the lights of the halls. He blinked as he spotted Nukid nearby, glaring at him.

" Alright, Advent, I entered my room, saw your darn cleanin' cloth on my bed, what the hell?" he growled.

As Nukid held the cloth out, which contained small splotches of gun-power, Advent sweatdropped. Nukid's eyes were slit as he smirked, saying small words of evil.

' On accident, I had dropped off the same cloth in Nukid's room by mistake, thinking I was in mine in the dark. He found it, and I knew when I saw him, he was ready to tell the others of my misdeed . . . '

" Heh, my bad man . . ."

He took the cloth and then got closer to Nukid.

" Why did you do it?" he whispered.

" I-I never meant to . . ." Advent whispered back, red faced.

" Fat chance . . ." Nukid growled.

Advent quivered, as his eyes widened. He glanced back at his scythe. There was a shattering of a window nearby, just as his scythe penetrated Nukid's chest.

BOOM! BANG! CRACK!

Nukid was stumbling into a nearby closet, choking on blood. He glared at Advent, who was smiling in psychopathy. He coughed out words, but it made him snicker.

" Goodnight, Narcoleptic pervert . . . rest in peace . . ."

' I was only protecting myself when I killed Nukid, but this time, I was newly discovering my newer passion to kill for Jashin-sama . . . my friends' blood was truly deeper to slash through, but if it was ALL for Jashin, then it was.'

Advent dashed back from one room, and pulled out a familiar Bankai sword.. He stabbed it into Nukid's now still warm body, then closed his eyes, at least with as much ability as necessary.

' I detoured my pathway and already was moving along back to my room to sleep . . . I negelcted to close Nukid's eyes all the way, so they probably burst back open somehow . . .'

XXX~

Kitten was off crying in an ice-encased room with the sensitive sisters of the FAF, Marcus was being interrogated by the protective elder brothers of the FAF, and Advent was sneaking off under the cover of arguments and laughter, oddly.

' While the others were asking the sad-excuse of a Kamen Rider why he was making out with the Innocent Devil, and more of the girls were tending to said devilish woman-'

XXX~

" HEY!" the two yelled out, steaming red. " We resent/resemble those remarks!"

Ranger snickered.

" AH keep ya pants on . . . " Advent groaned," I'm just saying what everyone thinks."

" Advent, even I Don't think that," Dawn said, still lashing her claws out.

" But I'm wearing a skirt," Kitten murmured.

TL tried to speak, but Advent simply placed fingers on his Adam's apple, nearing his collarbone.

" Ah let me finish, fuzzball . . ."

XXX~

'Anyways, I slunk out of the living room, seeing my chance."

Advent tip-toed out, smirking. He stepped into the kitchen and took out a small syringe, containing an odd colored medicinal liquid. It was bubbling and was dark as iodine. It smelled of yellow puss and probably tasted like black manure.

A grim smile crossed Advent's face as he placed the contents into a soda can.

' The part of the plan for the soda was to have someone without any mental disorders to get it, go insane as if they were having a seizure and scare the others into taking a leave or what-not from . . . being insane.'

A sudden gasped echoed.

Eye twitch.

Advent turned, seeing Haru, wide eyed and shaking.

" A-Advent . . ."

" Tsk-tsk-tsk . . . "

' I neglected to lock the darn kitchen door, and then HE walked in, so, I did the only thing I could . . .'

Advent rushed at him and pushed him, making him fall . . . literally through the floor.

" HOLY CRA-"

The door sealed shut from above Haru as Advent looked about as demented as Apple Bloom silouhettes from Cupcakes. The lightning and thunder made it no better. Haru's eyes were quivering like an arrow on a poorly drawn bow.

' I pushed him, that's all . . . and he ended up falling through a trap door to his supposed fate . . . '

Advent took two sodas and bumped into Kiva on the way out of the kitchen. Kiva smirked and took a soda can.

" Thanks, broseph!"

He walked out, just as he was saying, "You guys are sure jumpy right now . . . ya know that? . . . "

Advent was blinking as he ran back in, watching the events transpire: a minor notice of how Tal came in and the wonders of where Haru had gone, Kiva having his grande mal seizure and dying from the toxin.

All the while, his mind was a mess.

' The scenes just blended together, and I kept saying "Thank Jashin above I have so many new sacrifices!" . . . and yet, somehow . . . I knew what I was doing was wrong . . . '

XXX~

The Authors were silent. Rain still pounded as they slowly lowered their weapons. A few had sat back down, still shaking and nearly crying in disbelief. Dawn was scooting to Jiro as DJ and the rest of the Metagang was silently crying. DP glared as he was charging a spell.

" Why do all of that for this?" Air said, his hands gathering The Force.

" And the power outage? DW? ROSS?" Lunatic yelled. " WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THEM YOU PSYCHOPATH?"

Advent cocked his head to the red-head, his eyes no longer the playful insanity he had become well liked for.

Serious insanity.

" Glad you asked . . . "

XXX~

Advent opened the door for the basement and then felt around quickly for the fuse-box. He tapped the metal black door and yanked it open. He laughed lightly as he swiftly and sure snapped the wires.

The lightning was on his body as he slashed it, hair now frizzing.

' I slashed the wires to create a panic, duckies, and your reactions were hilarious!"

" SOMEONE HIT THE LIGHTS!" Phoenix screamed.

Advent thumped through the foyer and thumped up the staircase, then turned into the boy's hallway, panting with excitement.

' I was having a ribbing good laugh! And I was certain that I'd get away with this . . . '

He slowed down as he spotted DW talking to himself at the end of the said hallway, slowly staring at him. Advent became Jack, he became his fake son, his scythe begot the shape of an axe . . .

It seemed as if the world were going in super slow motion as the scythe slashed inside and out of DW's body, leaving behind both major and minor cuts. Advent was alreadu laughing as he finished, wiping a bit fo blood spatter form his face.

The former Advent . . . was gone.

Advent slunk down and out of the unlocked bathroom, but gasped as he spotted Ross walking his way. He dashed past, his scythe tightly gripped.

' Ross wasn't insane . . . closest thing he was was a big brother . . . like X . . . so I just -'

SMACK!

Advent began to drag the outcold Ross into a closet, then shut the door gently.

' I just knocked him out carefully and set him in the second floor closet near the bathroom . . . I didn't have the heart to kill him, nor a few others . . ."

He smirked as he walked off . . .

XXX~

Advent smiled, finishing his story. The FAF members were already shaking, a few weeping, Hikari taking her Devil wing out as

" AND you found me out, bravo, hedgehog, bravo . . ." Advent smirked," So, how'd you end up finding out it was me?"

TL had a flat face.

" Considering the word in blood on the bathroom wall was JASHI . . . obvious . . ."

Advent grumbled underneath his breath. The others groaned in frustration. Air was already shaking.

" Advent, I don't want to hurt an ally . . . . just let TL go and we can talk about this . . ." he said emotionlessly.

TL was charging his gloved hand, right as Lunatic was charging his chakram up.

" Hell no."

" Advent, listen to a troll here," Tal said, aiming his guns at Advent's head. " LET go of the guy."

" F*ck you."

" Darn it, Advent, you're nuts! Prepare to face defeat from my Keybla- OH my GOD I AM going insane from the Metagang!"

" HEY!" the members shouted, waking up Haru.

" H-Huh?"

He groaned as he sat up quickly, the others gasping in surprise.

" ALL of that and you wake up to a nudge?" Ranger yelled.

" What the hell man?" Air yelled.

" He's a heavy sleeper . . . " Mira rolled her eyes, then growled to Advent, her hands glowing with the rest of the Metagang's," You'll never get away with this!"

" TOO LATE!" Advent cocked his gun. " ADIOS SNOWBALL! TO JASHIN'S THRONEROOM WITH YOUR WHITE FUZZED HEAD! FUCK YEAH!"

Everyone jumped, the spark was lit, screams echoed, the lightning flashed, the thunder boomed! A vase crashed as a window busted open! A car screeched outside! Everyone jumped FORWARD AND -

BANG!

The room was still and silent, a photographed moment in real life, as a crashed window gained everyone's attention. The heads of every Author and Metagang member turned to the front and the shattered glass, seeing a friendly sight, for once.

A local sheriff was pointing a gun to the mansion, as a few more cop cars were strolling up and coming out. An ambulance could be heard from the smashed window.

Advent paled, TL breathed a sigh of relief.

" Alright Advent, come out with your hands up and no other shots will be fired!" the sheriff said, still pointing his gun. " Now, come on out boy!"

Silence.

Advent tossed the gun to the ground.

" I hate you all . . ."

XXX

Haru, sitting on the back of the ambulance, was getting his blood pressure taken. He smiled as he talked with Quill and Dairo, who were both shocked and happy to be alive.

" After Advent shoved me into that cramped space, I crawled out, got outside, and called the police. I explained the problem and had a bar, so why not?"

The paramedic removed the gauge and gave as thumb's up to him, to which he gave the same back.

" Then why were you covered in mud?" Quill asked.

" . . . I tripped . . ."

" . . . idiot . . ." Quill walked off.

Haru sighed, saying," Everyone be-ith a critic . . ."

" Amen," Dairo shook his head.

TL and DP walked off the porch, landing on the last step just as Advent was cuffed, smiling, and placed into the cop car. As his rights were being superfluously read, he smiled at the two, mouthing something out.

Thank you.

The car drove off as DP and TL watched it leave, Air and D-Dude also joining them. The uninterpretable silence was shut off as other Authors were being conforted, Ross was being tended to inside of the ambulance and the Metagang was packing up.

" Why do you think he was happy about this?" TL asked, confused. " This was the one thing I never got . . . "

" Because, he wanted to be caught . . . he still had a sense of right and wrong, ergo, he wanted to be punished for this," Ranger said, walking past.

TL puckered and sighed," Oh duh . . ."

" What chaos . . ." D-Dude sighed.

" This is why I was deciding against this . . ." DP sighed sadly.

" Hm?"

TL and Air turned to DP.

" Here I am, the leader of heroes, supposed to be a key character to everyone on the team . . . . and I can't even stop a single member from killing off so many others, let alone prevent arguments and such . . . what good am I to anything or anyone if I can't stop someone from killing my friends?"

DP lamented as a single tear fell from his face. Hikari walked over and noticed, wiping it away and hugging him. He hugged her back.

" Ah man, Chief . . ." Air said.

He bit his bottom lip, words fleeing his mouth before they formed in his mind.

" But, Boss Whi-"

" NOT now, TL . . . " DP growled. " Joking around at a time like this is not a good idea . . . "

" Oh Sempai . . ." Hikari sighed, still hugging him.

" I-I know but this isn't your fault," TL said, trying to add his two cents. " Advent went nuts a bit, and you - "

" Had no idea?" DP started. " Had no intention of this happening? Have to help plan a mass funeral for over four Authors who were also close friends of mine? . . . Yes to all of the above . . . "

A spitting motor roared past as Ranger halted on his motorcycle. The group turned to look at him as he glared at DP.

" Don't make Dawn, Ross and I smack some sense into you, DP . . . " he said," And yeah, we all can hear you."

Ross, ice pack on his head, stumbled over, smiling. DP smirked as he sighed gently, still holding Hikari. Hikari smiled back at Ross.

" It was not your fault, DP," Ranger said, kickstanding his bike. " Just happenstance. Besides, Advent's in jail, and this wasn't the worst reunion thing we've ever had."

Silence.

" At what cost?"

DP glanced down, still black eyed. Hikari polaced her head on his shoulder as the rain began to come down again.

The large group scattered, Ranger taking off on his bike, Ross in the emergency van, the Metagang in their ship, and the rest of the Authors in their cars and other modes of transport, leaving the mansion of blood and fear.

The dark and gloomy skies of the countryside served as a backdrop to the mansion, now all a painting in a dream, of sorts, as if the rain were washing it all away . . . if it was simply so . . .

If it was simply so . . .

If it was sim-pl-y s-o-o . . .

" Simply so . . . "

Eyes quivering, limbs shaking, yawn making chin quaking.

" H-Huh?"

Phoenix sat up, looking around in a mild panic. She was shaking, paled and fear was instilled inside of her mind.

" W-What happened?"

She blinked as her head cocked from left to right, scanning the FAF library all around. She was sitting on the couch near a fireplace, an empty slot on the shelf nearby. She looked at her hands and body, sighing as she was seeing her normal clothes on.

" Oh . . . thank the world of Hearts . . . It was just a dream . . ."

She moved the hard cover book from her lap and stretched, checking her cell phone in her pocket.

8:56 P.M. on a Tuesday.

" Yep, last time I read and snooze . . ."

She stood up and slipped the book back into place. She walked out of the library, smiling a bit as she began humming again. As she hummed, the firelight sprayed over to where the hard-cover book was.

The book's title lit up in the fire.

And Then There Were None.

That's all folks!
