I am terribly sorry. Yesterday I had a conflicting schedule, so I was home really late. To make up for it, the finale is being released earlier than normal. Good news, by the way. The reviews came back!
Response Time: To Guest, I know that's you, Sonny April! You can't fool me! But yes, it is kind of Violet's redemption story. You know how much I love the character. Also, no offence taken. To Linkwonka88, welcome back! And yes, I am an evil writer. I do it to torment you...hehehehehe! Just kidding. To VerucaBeyotch, I'm sorry we can't meet in person, but there are ways you can contact me. For starters, my profile has a link to my twitter page so you can follow me, and I can use that to give you my Facebook name and Skype name. Alternatively (if you're comfortable), you can make a separate review that tells me your twitter, Facebook, email or Skype name, and I will jot it down and delete it so no one else sees it. I may not be able to meet in person, but that's the alternative I can give. Either way is okay, just let me know which way you go, even if you opt for neither.
On with the finale!
Chapter 13: The Curtain Falls
"Hello, Clive. Miss Me?" Violet asked with a smirk. Clive replied, "Hello, traitor. Interesting how you backstab your friends, and now you do it to me." Violet said, "Perhaps. I won't deny my mistakes, but I won't deny yours, either. But before we fight, I would like to say something." Clive sighed and responded, "I suppose you deserve that. You may speak freely." Violet turned to Charlie and said, "Charlie, I want you to know I care for you a lot. I think I may even be in love. For that reason, I can say to you that I didn't lead you guys into a trap." Charlie, still heavily bounded, said, "It's okay Violet. I think I'm in love too. I believe you with what you said." Violet looked up and asked, "You do?" Mike replied, "Of course he does. We all do. We all have forgiven you for everything. Best friends until the end, right Violet?" Violet nodded and said, "Best friends until the end." Clive then said, "That end may be coming very soon, you know." Violet angrily turned to him and said, "It's time to pay, Clive. Your inevitable defeat is coming for you." Clive smiled angrily and replied, "You seem to have forgotten what James once said, 'An evil genius may look like an innocent cat, but corner them and the claws come out.' Don't even try me." Violet rushed towards him, but Clive pressed a button on his remote and a laser from far away shot Violet with pinpoint accuracy. Violet lost her control and fell to the ground before even reaching Clive. Clive stood over her and deviously said, "Oh, Violet. What's the matter? Your inner ear losing its sense of balance? Oh wait, I forgot! You have a problem with your left ear, don't you? I should remember because I paid for that!"
Violet tried to escape Clive's laser beams as he continued taunting her, "I paid for your clothes, I provided you with food and a place to live, I paid for your numerous medical bills, and I even gave all that advanced technology! I even provided you with immunity for your various crimes! Even after I have done everything for you, you have the nerve to bite the hand that feeds you?" Violet replied, "I should have never helped you in the first place! I should have never listened to your lies." Clive then put on metallic gloves, a helmet, and metallic greaves. He then wired them together and said, "It's a bit late for that, isn't it?" Suddenly a wall exploded, and out came a heavily armored android being controlled by Clive.
Violet tried to slice it, but it was no use. The android punched her and knocked her back. She got up and was immediately hit by machine gun fire. Despite the gunfire being high-caliber, it didn't harm Violet in the slightest. Violet replied, "Did you forget about the operation you provided for me? You know as well as I that bullets can't harm me. You gave me heavy invulnerability, and I can use that against you!" She walked towards the android, and jumped over its punch. She landed on its back, attached at least three heavy-duty bombs, and managed to evade the explosion. The explosion force damaged it, but slightly. Violet was then flung back by a heavy kick. Violet got up to see the android rushing towards her. It rammed her into a wall, grabbed her, and threw her back.
Violet looked up to see Clive in front of her, angrily scowling at her, taunting, "You just don't learn, do you? You backstab people, and you make enemies that you shouldn't." Violet weakly said, "What do you care? You care nothing for me. You just used me like a tool." Violet was grabbed and squeezed by the android. She screamed in pain as she could feel her ribs cracking. The android slammed her onto the ground as Clive finally lost his self-control, "Maybe you haven't noticed Violet, but that is how the real world works!" The android slammed its fist on Violet. Clive continued, "The real world will crush you!" It slammed again, as Clive continued, "The real world will take everything from you!" It slammed once more. "The real world will make you feel worthless!" The android slammed again. "The real world will destroy your sanity, ruin your life, and then bury you!" The android slammed numerous times. "The real world will kill the ones you love, it will continue to be cruel to you, and it will punish the good while rewarding the evil! This forsaken world did all that to me, and it will do it to you and everyone else who is good until I finally destroy it!" The android slammed its fist on Violet one last time. Violet was now laying on her back, bruised, badly beaten, coughing up blood, and her voice and breath was rasping.
When Charlie saw Violet like this, something triggered in his mind. He grew incredibly angry, and he ripped through his bonds. He ran towards Clive and electrocuted his back. Clive shrieked in pain as he fell back, unconscious. Charlie freed Mike, Augustus, and Veruca and ran towards Violet to see her incredibly weak. Violet looked at him and weakly said, "Hey, handsome." Charlie smiled and looked up angrily. He moved to Moredock, who saw what happened and already surrendered. Charlie looked at him as Mike angrily said, "You're going to land this craft, do you hear me?" Moredock nervously nodded and began to land the airship. Charlie went back to Violet and said, "I'm here, Violet. Don't give up hope." "You either," Violet weakly replied, "Don't worry about me. I may be badly hurt, but I'm practically indestructible. Mike, what's the term for someone whose no longer human, and instead a mutant or superhuman?" Mike answered, "I believe the term you're looking for is metahuman." Violet replied, "That's the term. I'm a metahuman, and I no longer have the frailties most humans have. I'm going to be fine, but I hope you can accept that about me." Charlie replied, "Of course I can, Violet. I do care about you." They hugged, but Charlie said, "What do you mean, frailties?" Violet laughed and said, "I don't mean someone like you. And I believe we just had our first argument." Charlie asked, "First argument?" Violet said, "Of course. First argument as a couple, I mean. If that's okay with you." Charlie smiled and said, "Of course." They both smiled and hugged again.
Two hours later, Violet was being released from the hospital only to be greeted by Charlie, Mike, Veruca, Augustus, and even Layton. Layton said to her, "You were very brave, Violet. Thanks to you, London has avoided a disaster. I even got in touch with the new prosecutor. He is offering a deal. If you testify against Clive, James and Judge Moredock, all of your charges will be dropped." Violet sighed and said, "Thanks, but I don't think I dese-" but was interrupted by Charlie, who said, "She'll take the deal." Violet looked at Charlie, but Charlie said, "Violet, you've never had a second chance in your life. You made mistakes, but you can fix it. It's not too late to make the right choice. Take the second chance to make things right, and that you do deserve." Violet said, "But I-" and was interrupted by Mike this time, who replied, "Violet, you should listen to your boyfriend." Violet smiled and said, "Okay. I'll take the deal."
A few days after Violet testified, Clive, James, and Judge Moredock were convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Suddenly, a bank robbery was occurring in the financial district. Little did the robbers know that London was now protected by Vicious Violet(Violet), The Bouncer(Augustus), Charlie Kadabra(Charlie), Golden Girl(Veruca), and Minute Mike(Mike).
That's the finale! I enjoyed writing this story for you! I will be looking around the site, but I'm taking another break from writing stories. I probably won't be writing another story until I get another request. Don't be afraid to let me know what you thought of the story! To VerucaBeyotch, just another reminder to respond to what I said in the Response Time of this chapter. I also hope you enjoyed the entire journey this story has taken, as it was your request. I hope you all have a great day, and thanks for reading!
