Weeeeelll... I am just going to finish it here(obviously) and there will be alot of fighting because of stuff.(Great explanation there) Anyways, I would like to thank ya for reading this!
I'll still be writing Homestuck fanfiction after this, so no worries! I'll definitely keep on writing... *passes out*
After that little incident with psychotic dog-Jade, Jake and John decided it was best to confront The Baroness. Obviously, this relationship won't last for long if they've been especially targeted by an alien-troll-witch who is almost (or is) as powerful as Lord English himself. The pair swiftly journeyed across several alien planets, tracking down the infinite pathways The Batter Witch had traveled, using the same technique that Vriska was employing in the afterlife. So far, their once blank maps are now filled with blinking landmarks that splattered the maps in neon-colored blotches, resembling a mess that would have been produced by some kindergartener scribbling all over it with highliter. That's a good thing apparently. Anyways, upon following her outlandish tracks-while luring her out to create more chaos- heaps upon heaps of familiar bodies were discovered with gruesome injuries, maimed in various ways that were too horrendous to describe.
Once John had even come across Dave's house. The structure was lit with roaring fire, crumbling to the ground.
John gasped.''Dave!'' He sprinted towards the blazing building and flew to the second floor in a burst of wind. He did the windy thing; a powerful hurricane whirled over the house, blowing out the fire instantly. Only black, charred walls remained. John rushed through the broken window and found two lifeless bodies in the middle of the ash-filled room. The high piles of clutter were reduced to heaps of ashes, clouding the air in their acrid stench.
''Dave, are you still alive...?''John walked slowly over to the two burnt bodies.'He's obviously dead, dumbass,'said a voice that sounded like Karkat in the back of his head.
Their black arms seemed to be entangled around each other, frozen in place by death. The only sign of the two corpses' identities were the unmistakable shape of shades over their eyes, which were melted almost completely. John bent down on one knee to take a closer look. Red and blue stained one oval-shaped pair;another was completely black like the ash that coated the room, in a rounded, broad mold. It's definitely Dave and...Sollux, I think. I wonder what he was doing here...? Great grief and regret washed over John. I was too late to warn him. If only I was a little quicker,I could have saved him from dying like this... Now he's gone forever, burnt by that-that witch! She'll pay for this, with her life...His previous feelings were replaced by something else more dark; revenge. Anger. More vehement than ever before, since not only one but two of his friends had been affected,one of them being completely disposed of.
A loud crash came from the entrance of the room. Jake had kicked down the door, brandishing his pistols immediately once he entered.''Do you*cough* know those two gentlemen there?''
''I used to.''
Several hours later, after wandering through even more hopelessly lost scenes of fallen alternate dimension comrades, a dark presence confronted them. It was the same feeling from before;a condescending, sinister aura that threatened to snuff out their own. They stood in a great plain of rolling, gray earth, before a towering metal gate that sealed off a portal to the final battle ground.
Jake had a film of sweat over his face.''Almost there, John. Are you ready,lad?'' He smiled grimly at the boy next to him. His pistols were shaking in his sweat-covered hands.
John nodded. He walked up to the door and produced a silver key that gleamed in the dark twilight. Before he could open the gate,a familiar voice stopped him.
''JOHN!JAKE! HEY, STOP RIGHT THERE!'' ,Roxy bounded up to them followed by Dirk. She was gasping for breath, and after she recovered she announced,''We want to come,too. We're not about to let you go alone and kill that bitch without us.'' She straightened her self, taking on a determined expression. Dirk showed no sign of anxiety or scrap of emotion as usual. They were dressed in stunning new god-tier attire. Roxy garbed in a blue dress with her player symbol on it, navy blue boots, leggings, and matching gloves. Her hood was the same color, wrapped around her neck like a scarf, flowing from the back. She wore a blue mask on her face, the kind a hero wears that only covers the area around the eyes but still manages to fool everyone. Dirk had a hot pink t-shirt with his player symbol on it, dark pink hood like Roxy's, with matching gloves and poofed-up princely shorts. He had light green shoes accompanied by plum colored tights.
John frowned.He looks just like ... should I tell him his brother was burnt to death? Right before we fight..? It's just so...
''You okay, Egbert?''Dirk looked at him with a shred of concern showing through his cool features.
John shook his head to clear the unpleasant thoughts.''Huh? Uh, no I'm completely fine!''
Jake interrupted,''It seems that Jane is missing. Wasn't she accompanying you before?"
Roxy gulped before looking at him guiltily.''We kinda lost her due to the batter witch. She captured her in a trap. Dirk was caught in it too, so he couldn't help, and I... I fucked up big time. The head thingy that the witch put on her head controls her but the witch wouldn't let me anywhere near Jane. I was forced to retreat after getting Dirk out of the trap because she was focused on killing us.I'm sorry, Jake, but we might have to fight her once we cross over.''
An awkward silence filled the air. John broke it timidly,''So, are we ready to go now?''
A hand shot up into the air.''Do you mind a few more members joining?''
Rose, Kanaya, and Terezi walked towards the surprised teens. Terezi seemed to have just woken up, because even though she seemed to be looking around excitedly as if she wasn't blind, her hair was in tatters and her glasses were at an odd angle. Rose's breath smelled heavily like liquor, and Kanaya cast worried glances at her direction every so often. The original group of teens had the same thought at that moment:Are they seriously going to fight like that?
Rose swept her gaze over each of their worried faces and smiled grimly.''Don't worry about us. We are able to look after ourselves quite fine. Let's move along, shall *hiccup*we?
Reluctantly, John once again approached the solid steel gates and inserted the key, turning it sideways to unlock the grinding gears that whirred inside the behemoth barrier. The gates slowly inched open, letting bright rays of sunlight to cascade over the dim landscape. They shielded their eyes, cautiously entering the unknown territory. The Land of Fire and Water. Complimenting its name, volcanoes dotted the landscape. Rivers of burning lava mingled with water streams, creating a thick fog over the clashing points. Where water thrived, thick rainforests completely dominated the land with tempestuous thunderstorms overhead; lava rendered its surrounding landscape lifeless, covering it endlessly in black ash and fire. A lone metallic ship hovered over the unforgiving landscape, a flat platform that lifted itself on millions of propellers on its underside, supporting a shining titanium machine that sent vibrations down its metal sides.
The group stared in awe at the scene before them; then they realized how difficult this really would be.
Her Condesce was seated upon the edge of the metal UFO, grinning wildly at the kids below.Those bitches won't even stand a chance against me. She barked at the two females standing obediently beside her. ''I want you hoes to beat the shit out of those kids there. Bring their blood to me after you're done or I'll make you jump into a volcano. And one whole pint so don't fuck them up too hard!'' She dismissed them with a flick of her hand. They took off through the air, past the smoking volcanoes, past the whirling storms, and easily landed with a earth-shattering THUD in front of the wary group.
Everyone hesitated at attacking when their once-close friends, Jane and Jade, faced them. Jade still remained a dog psychopath, along with Jane who only uttered one word over and over again like the unfortunate girl next to her. She was now shrouded in red god-tier clothing, which takes too much time to describe so just Google it.
''BARK BARK BARK!'' ''OBEY.''
''J-Jade?'' Rose gasped, but quickly wiped the shocked expression off her face. Now wasn't the time to 's the time to fight.''I apologize for whatever damage I cause Jade, but it's in self-defense. I do hope you forgive me later.'' Jade just growled at her angrily. Taking up her magic needles, Rose charged at her, aiming for her arm. She didn't want to seriously hurt her. Dirk followed her example and ran at Jane with his katana raised. War cries rang through the air as Rose slashed at Jade's left arm, but Jade blocked it with her bare hands, the pointed needles drawing scarlet blood from her palms. She snapped at Rose's neck, missing by millimeters. Rose drew back unfazed, crouching down low and-suddenly she wasn't there. Her body reappeared at Jade's backside. Before she could react, Rose spewed dark magic from her needles that binded Jade with tendrils of black energy. Rose took out four staples from her captchalogue, brimming with the same sinister energy and large enough to staple a person's hands. She walked over to the writhing dog-girl, and pushed the staples onto her two wrists and ankles, pinning her tightly down to the ground. Jade howled desperately, trying to break loose from the staples.
Rose gave her a sympathetic glance before joining Dirk in his battle. While she was battling with dog Jade, he dealt with the robotic Jane who managed to snap his katana in half with her superhuman strength. She almost broke his right arm and was nearly able to maim him twice if it weren't for the short-haired female who intervened each time.
Dirk uttered a quick 'Thanks' to his ally before dodging one of Jane's punches that would have left him headless(again). After consulting with Rose through brief glances, they decided on a hasty plan. Dirk began to flash-step around Jade, his form reappearing and disappearing again and again; Jane froze in place, not knowing where to strike. In her head, The Condesce hissed in frustration,'JUST HIT HIM ALREADY DAMMIT!'.Jane's back was completely unguarded. This was the perfect opportunity; Rose pounced on her, flinging her arms around her neck, poising her needles around the unprotected flesh.
Jane hissed, throwing herself to the ground abruptly. They rolled around in the earth, punching and kicking, Jane landing quite a few hits on the persistent female who was trying to restrain her. John finally decided to help, along with Kanaya. They grabbed Jane's arms and legs(which was quite hard considering how much she was flailing about). After placing her on the ground alongside Jade, Kanaya, John, Roxy, and Dirk holding each limb, Rose stapled her wrists and ankles into place. The triumphant girl smirked. Then the group shifted their concentration from the two females towards the imperious woman perched on the metal ship's edge, scowling quite visibly.
What the fuck?! They couldn't have just done that! Those bastards are gonna pay with their blood for this... no way am I gonna get schooled by a bunch of kids. Why she needed their blood was a complicated matter; it involved taking over both sessions of the game, hoarding countless powers for herself. With them, even Lord English would be rendered powerless before her. She would rule the galaxies for all eternity! The Condesce raised her trident and commanded,''You, dude with the stabby issue, get your ass over there! I need their damn blood so make sure to gather as much as you can!''
The glowing male next to her nodded. Soon he was floating to the group of teens, who were starting to cautiously make their way towards the levitating aircraft. Even if they flew there, being able to stay afloat was a big issue, with all the violent weather and harsh terrain. The two parties were almost about to face each other in a grim duel when something made them freeze in their places.
A sudden ear-splitting screech rang out from the hovering aircraft. Fuschia blood pooled over the edge of the UFO, dripping thousands of feet below. Where the near-omnipotent queen had sat moments before was replaced by her beheaded corpse. Towering over her dead body was no other than Lord English himself. In his hand was her cut off head, her face twisted into a warped look of pure agony and sheer terror. He threw the head; it fell into a volcano below silently as a feather dropped on the floor. It was as if she was mere fly who had just happened to be in the way.
But that wasn't the worst of it.
Jack flew down from the top of the odd machine to take his place beside the unwavering lord. Lord English's bloodthirsty gaze challenged anyone to come near them, growling rabidly. Now it seems as if this mission was impossible. The challenge set in front of the teens was daunting, to a point that they considered whether they give up or move on. Impenetrable volcanoes, weather, and impossible foes blocked their path to endless fortune. What will they do now?
Before they could make the difficult decision, a large tear in the Fourth Wall opened. Color danced around the torn sky; several large ships emerged from the crack. On the ships were crowds of trolls from scattered dimensions, glaring quite viciously at green cherub below. Of course, the head ship held Vriska, Aradia, Feferi, Nepeta, Meenah,Sollux, Tavros, and Aranea. Shouting erupted from their ranks as the land filled with countless fighters holding the same objective:defeating Lord English to end this tyrannical game. The ships gently landed (some, accidentally, on the various volcanoes) and docked, letting the fighters stream onto the battlefield. Through the giant mass, the small group of teenagers were swept away to the front lines, where the head leaders of the army were prepared to meet them.
''Vriska, did you plan this?'', John called out. He came to a stop with the rest of his party at the feet of the leaders of the massive organization.
''Heck yeah! This is so awesome I bet Lord English will be completely obliterated!'',Vriska shouted confidently, taking out her glowing blue dice.''Are you guys ready? We're going to have two-thirds of army charge at Jack, then the rest will follow us to Lord English. Don't worry; we've come up with a butt-kicking attack plan.'' She smirked smugly. Though everyone doubted she even knew what she was saying.
Above,Lord English raised his cane and smashed the whirring machine. It completely crumbled under his formidable power. Buckets upon buckets of blood spilled out from it, a rainbow of genetic material washing over the whole of the UFO. His dark green face twisted into a hard expression of rage, making his eyes turn an ominous blood-red. Then the vast armies charged. His vehement bellow was drowned out by the shouts of thousands of humans and trolls side by side, aiming for the red of his beady eyes. No one knew how it was possible. To beat him one would have thought that much more was needed than an uncoordinated army, a couple of kids, and a few mutant sprites. One might say it needed a second dash of rare luck to roll the perfect numbers yet again. Or the help of freed slaves who had powers none could describe to smite any in their way. It all ended with a BANG. A boy with green eyes and twin pistols shot the fated bullet, fulfilling his inevitable destiny in Lord English's blood.
In the corner, behind the smoldering machine, a door appeared. No one noticed it through the shouts of victory from blasting the nefarious Lord English to pieces. The door almost blended into the background, but one troll noticed. Karkat made his way to the door shaped like a building block house, turning the familiar luminous doorknob that sent hair-raising electricity through his extended finger tips. The boisterous shouts were drowned out; all that was and ever will be was beyond this door. What he had missed last time will now be recovered, and so much more. When he opened it, the most wonderful sight greeted his eyes that closed the curtains on the elusive game that had almost massacred them all.
But that is a story for another act.
OMIGOSH THAT WAS SO EPIC IT MADE ME CRAP MYSELF INTO THE NEXT CENTURY- Anyways~, how did you like that dramatic ending? Yeah, there was so many plot holes you could have fallen through them. BUT! (hehehe) Karkat was obviously here because Gamzee had gone over to the dark side and he wanted to end this shit before he completely lost him. Sorry if it his sudden appearance made you go 'WTF I DON'T EVEN BLUH BLUH-' well I'll promise not to do that in my future fanfics.
TH4NKS FOR R34D1NG! :]
