Author's Note: Happy Birthday to Flint (remember, his came right after Marie's)! And yes all the fighting is over, and I DID say two more people will die. And thanks about the fortune cookie. I thought about how in the movie…I guess it still could be in a stereotypical way…Well anyway, Angelica isn't done yet… But here we are… the last two (three if I cannot end in two chapters!) chapters. [Big sigh]. I really wish I didn't have to end…
There was an astonished silence. The type of silence where everyone's eyes were widened and their jaws dropped open. The only one who wasn't like that was Code 2. He straightened up and glared at Code 4. He held his gun up and pointed it at Angelica. She pulled her dagger out of Shelbourne and wiped it on her trench coat. Then she ripped her trench coat off and dropped it to the floor. When she took her trench hat off and sliced it into a million pieces, Code 2 was fuming.
"I CANNOT believe you just killed Shelbourne, Code 4!" Code 2 snarled and glared at her from behind his gun.
"I'm not Code 4! The name's Angelica Rita Oreant!" she growled and threw her dagger at Code 2.
At the same time, Code 2 pulled the trigger and a bullet flew at her. Except, her dagger hit the bullet and sent it away. Then the dagger flew at his gun. It knocked the gun out of his hand and flew straight at his chest. He didn't even get to utter a scream; the dagger flew right into him and he fell back on the ground.
Next, Angelica bent down and pulled her dagger out of his chest. She knelt down and wiped it on her trench coat. Then she stood there staring at Patrick's and Albert's bodies. She was trembling. Then she looked up at Flint, Brent, Reg, Jag, and Manny. Even Sam was back to normal and stared at Shelbourne's and Patrick's dead bodies. Denis still was out of it.
"I-I really k-killed them?" she stammered and shivered. Then she wrapped her arms around herself and stared at Shelbourne's body with confused eyes.
"Yes. But now we don't have to worry about anyone hurting anyone." Flint explained to her. She looked up and glanced at him.
"But it was a-all m-my fault! I invented the injection liquid!" she cried and knelt down on the ground on her knees.
"Why did you?" Reg asked from where he stood.
Angelica glanced up at him with wide clear blue eyes and blinked back a tear. She thought about for a moment.
"I was always inventing cool things. On day I was thinking about mind-controlling. So I made the injection liquid, but it turned out bad. It wasn't supposed to turn you evil! I think I added an unnecessary ingredient to the mixture or something. When I tested it on myself, I became evil. That was why I left Albert and yelled at him. It wasn't me. It was my injected self." Angelica whispered and looked down at her hands.
Then she stood up and brushed away a tear rolling down her face. When she looked at everyone looking back at her, she smiled and they all smiled back.
"So what now? What do we do with Patrick's and Shelbourne's bodies?" Jag asked and Angelica thought for a moment.
But she shook her head and said they should be left the way they are. Someone will eventually find them and think that the wave brought them there and some glass from a broken window killed them. No one said anything. It didn't seem like such a good idea, but they couldn't take them back to the States or ChewandSwallow. What would security say when they carried dead bodies on the plane?
"I'm sure when they are found; someone will know who they are." Flint pointed out.
Nodding, Angelica sighed and took one last look at Albert and Patrick. Then Manny and Brent picked up Denis's body and carried him into the helicopter. Everyone else followed. They will stop at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to pick up suitcases and then head back to ChewandSwallow.
In the helicopter, Angelica was still worried. About the TLDSMDFADR. Manny instantly flew the helicopter up higher. He was remembering when they had gone to stop the FLDSMDFR. Hopefully there won't be another Giant Meatball. He thought to himself.
"There!" Flint pressed his face to the window and pointed at the TLDSMDFADR glowing in the dark. Thankfully the only food the TLDSMDFADR had rained was fortune cookies and noodles. But then it had also produced that earthquake and the tsunami wave.
"Whoa. It looks like it'll fall apart any second." Sam appeared next to Flint.
It was true. The TLDSMDFADR looked ready to crumble into little pieces. It was spouting out noodles half-heartedly. One side of it had already broken away and you could see all the tubes and gears inside. The top of it was trembling and the antenna suddenly snapped in half. The sides were all covered in cracks
"The earthquake and tsunami must have been too much." Angelica frowned. She opened up the window of the helicopter.
"What are you doing?" Manny cried.
"Get closer, I'm going to grab it!" Angelica shouted over the wind. She poked her head out and Manny flew closer. But the wind from the machine was pushing the helicopter back.
Even if Angelica wasn't a Code anymore, she still wasn't ready to give up. No way. She still gripped her dagger tightly and poked her head out again. The wind whipped her hair to the left. Wind blowing left. Hmmm… she thought to herself. Then she had an idea.
"Manny, move a little more to the right!" Angelica called. The helicopter moved right and she nodded to herself.
If everything worked like she wanted it too, her dagger was supposed to be blown left and hit the TLDSMDFADR. The on/off switch was there, so if she was lucky, she might hit that. Muttering something under her breath, she threw the dagger with all her might. The wind blew it away to the left and hit the TLDSMDFADR perfectly. Right under the switch. But even if she didn't hit the switch, she didn't care. The cords that connected to the switch were under the switch.
"Yes!" she pumped her fist in the air and watched as the TLDSMDFADR gave a groan and suddenly it stopped glowing. It was pitch black now. But everyone still heard it whistle downward. Soon it would hit a building or the ground (hopefully not a person) and that would be the end.
"That was awesome!" Jag grinned from where he stood.
"Insane, but incredible." Manny smiled to himself and turned on the helicopter's lights. They began to fly lower and watched out for the hotel as they flew.
Suddenly there was a whirring noise louder than the helicopter blades. Everyone looked out the windows and gasped. Slowly every building in Tokyo began to light up again. All the signs and traffic lights were coming back on. It was incredible to see. It was like a wave of light pouring over the dark city.
"Thank God someone fixed the power." Sam sighed as they flew over the city. Now it was easier to spot the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. There was a giant blinking sign on the roof.
"Thanks for the ride. We have a government helicopter waiting in the airport, so Reg and I have a ride back home." Jag thanked Manny. Smiling, Manny nodded.
"How about the two of you move and live in ChewandSwallow?" Flint then suggested.
Reg and Jag's eyes widened and they looked at everyone else looking at them. Then Reg whispered something to Jag and he nodded. Then they both turned to the rest of the group and beamed. They agreed.
"And I'll move in there too. But after I visit the headquarters back in the Grand Central Station." Angelica smiled.
Manny nodded and steered the helicopter lower to the ground. He dropped a rope ladder out the exit and waited for everyone to return with their things. Once they left, it was just Manny and Steve. Steve looked at Manny.
"No more mustache, see?" Manny turned to Steve and grinned as if he was reading Steve's mind. Steve scratched his head. He wondered which other monkey stole Manny's mustache.

This was what happened after everyone got their belongings and checked out of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. First they flew all the way to New York. But Manny took a shortcut. Instead of flying west across all of Asia, Europe and the Atlantic Ocean, he flew east. So right after the east coast of Japan, they ended up on the West Coast of the States. After all they had to do was fly across all the States, to reach New York on the other side.
This took about 6 hours.
Once they landed in the JFK airport, everyone was exhausted. Especially Manny. Denis had also managed to wake up. He was so confused that he could barely get up the first few minutes. Then everyone explained everything to him what had happened, and he was back to normal.
Since everyone was so tired, Angelica led everyone to The League of DBTC headquarters. She explained to them about the whole idea with entering through the bench.
"Who built an entrance like that?" Flint asked as they approached the bench. He was very interested in it.
"Me. I built it, but Joe and Denis helped design it. Back then I didn't know that Albert and Patrick were members. Joe knew, but he never told us. All he told us we needed headquarters and that… I don't really remember. I think I was injected back then." Angelica shook her in confusion.
Instead, she told everyone what to do. Making sure no one was looking; she stood on top of the bench and pulled out a little black marble out of her jeans pocket. She dropped the marble on the bench seat and the bench opened up.
"After you, guys." She motioned at everyone. Flint was first to peek into the hole. It was a dark tunnel leading downward. Then he hopped into it. Sam was next, followed by the henchmen, Manny, Brent, Steve, Denis and finally Angelica.
They all slide down and everyone landed in a heap at the bottom. Flint ended up being at the bottom of the pile.
Once everyone got off him, they all gasped at the giant vault door in front of them. Angelica came up the vault door and tapped it. The sound echoed all around.
"Password, please." Came a robotic female voice.
"754." Angelica said clearly. The vault door creaked open and she gestured everyone to follow her.
There went gasps all around. Angelica and Denis just breathed in deeply. They were glad to be here. But at the same time, they felt a little uneasy. The floor was still a dark purple carpet. The walls were black with glow-in-the-dark dark blue lines tracing all around the walls in different directions. The ceiling was glowing a blue glow and a diamond chandelier hang over a round oak table. Six Matching oak chairs circled the table. Across the room were the seven doors. It was just like Angelica and Denis remembered it.
"Wow. This place is so cool!" Jag cried out excitedly and then ran to the table and squinted up at the diamond chandelier. He couldn't believe it was real diamonds.
"We stole that." Angelica turned deep red as she glanced up at the chandelier.
"We have sleeping bags somewhere, for you guys to sleep on." Denis ran into one of the rooms.
He came back holding a giant dark blue bundle. Then he dumped it in front of everyone. Then he ran to find everyone pillows and Angelica ran into the kitchen to get something to eat (that is, if nothing was spoiled).

"Flint? Are you asleep?" Sam whispered through the darkness. Everyone had fallen asleep long time ago. The only sound in the room was soft snoring coming from mostly everyone in the room.
"Nope." He whispered back from where his sleeping bag wasn't too far from Sam's.
"I just can't believe what had happened these past few days. You and I almost died. Shelbourne is dead. We traveled to Paris and Tokyo." She whispered and Flint's heard her sigh.
Quietly, he got up and moved his sleeping bag closer to hers. Then he slowly put an arm around her and hugged her tightly.
"I know. I'm just happy you're alive." He kissed the top of her head and she snuggled closer to him.
They eventually fell asleep. There was no more talking during the night. Everyone was finally fast asleep. Except for one person. When everyone was deeply asleep, Angelica snuck out of her bedroom and into the room where everyone slept on the floor in their sleeping bags.
She sighed and sat down on one of the couches in the corner. She looked over at Flint and Sam and brought her knees to her chest. She wished she was loved like that again. Not by Shelbourne. Yes by him, but not by the injected, monstrous version of him. When she looked across the room, she saw a silver figure floating around the entrance to the room.
