Chapter 42-The End Of The First War
Polis
Billy walks into Finn's cell holding his wound as the guard shuts the door behind him. Billy looks at Finn, who was looking at him. "When are they going to do it?" Finn asks.
"They won't be," Billy says.
"I heard the guard outside the cell saying their ways has me dying by a death of a thousand cuts," Finn says. "I know I'm about to die," Finn says.
"They won't be killing you cause I will," Billy says.
"You're killing me?" Finn asks.
"It's the only way to keep the peace. You are my people. You will die by my hands," Billy says.
"I would think you would be happier. I just stabbed you," Finn says.
"You're still my friend. A man I have come to know from the dropship. I wish I didn't have to do this," Billy says.
"Just promise me you'll give me a proper death. In peace may you leave this shore and all that shit," Finn says.
"I promise," Billy says. Finn nods as he lays his head dead. Billy walks out of the cell. "Clean him up," Billy says to the guard, who surprising nods and walks into the cell. Billy walks back towards the elevator.
The Dropship
Bellamy and Murphy were in the dropship with Mia, Atom, Lincoln, Claire, Roy, Harper, Wells, Emma, Octavia, and Nyko. "The ring of fire is ready, right?" Bellamy asks. Mia nods.
"Let's get back to the reapers. Maybe they'll help us. The enemy of the enemy is my friend, right?" Bellamy asks.
"Not this enemy," Lincoln says.
"We saw them. Trust me, it's not an option," Wells says.
"Are we ready?" Bellamy asks. Lincoln nods.
"We are ready. We just need them to come. The landmines are armed, and guns are loaded. What about Miles?" Lincoln asks as he looks at the man who was still lying down.
"We hide him," Murphy says.
"Can you guys get him to the third level?" Atom asks the three grounders, who nodded.
"Okay, we all know what to do when we come back here," Bellamy says.
"Some of us don't like it," Emma says.
"I know you don't, but Roy and I will be enough. If one of us goes down, the other will set the ship off," Bellamy says before he walks outside. "Gunners to your posts. Use the tunnels to get in and out from now on. The gate stays closed," Bellamy says. A few minutes later, Lincoln, Nyko, Claire, and Octavia come out.
"You two are with Miller and Monroe. Get to the foxholes," Bellamy says to his sister and Lincoln, who nod as they leave. Wells comes over.
"So, how do we do this?" Wells asks. Bellamy and Murphy lead Emma, Wells, and Mia inside.
"We've got 25 rifles with 20 rounds each, give or take. Roughly 500 rounds of ammo," Murphy says.
"While you two were gone, we made some improvements. Thanks to Mia, the gully is mined," Bellamy says as he points at the map they made.
"It's the main route in. If Azgeda uses it, we'll know. She also built grenades," Murphy says as he picks one up.
"It's not many," Emma says.
"We'll make 'em count," Bellamy says.
"If Azgeda makes it through the front gate, guns and grenades should force them back," Murphy says.
"In then?" Wells asks.
"If that doesn't work, we move back here. The ones leaving go through the tunnels away from camp, and we launch the ship, creating a ring of fire. Killing Azgeda's men," Bellamy says. Bellamy pulls out the radio.
"All foxholes, listen up. Keep all eyes and ears open. Inflict casualties as many as possible. We can hold them off long enough to make them turn back. That's the plan. Everybody knows plan B," Bellamy says.
The Ark
The people on the Ark were gathered around the control one. Some were watching on video. "Here's how we bring the Ark to the ground. Stage one: separation from Go-Sci. A series of explosions sever the ring that we're now standing in from the rest of the Ark. Now, once we have separation, all port thrusters will fire, and our orbit will begin to degrade. Stage two: Reentry. Reentry will be violent, and it will be very, very hot. Friction will break the Ark back into its original stations," Jake says.
"Some of the stations and we can't predict which will explode, and some of us will be one those stations," Kane says. Everybody slowly nods.
"Which brings us to stage three-Landing. All starboard thrusters on the surviving stations will fire, acting as landing rockets. They will slow the impact even further. Now, our target speed for impact with the ground is 70 miles per hour. In all mine and Sinclair's simulations, anything above that is not survivable," Jake says. The people start to talk.
"No one said this will be easy, ladies and gentlemen. Just that if we don't try it, we all will die and will never see our kids," Jaha says.
"So, how close are we gonna land to the kids?" Abby asks.
"As close as we can," Jaha says.
Polis
Lexa and Anya walk into Billy's room. Billy was sitting on his bed when they came in. "Is it time?" Billy asks.
"No, but there is something you should know," Anya says.
"What is it?" Billy asks.
"This has to be done in front of the people," Lexa says.
"I have to kill Finn publicly?" Billy asks. Lexa nods.
"That will also alert Nia. She will know you're alive," Anya says.
"She will after today anyway. Okay, give me some time," Billy says to the two women who nod as they leave.
The Dropship
Wells walks over to Murphy and Bellamy. "I have a really bad idea," Wells says to the two who look at him. "If they get too close and we're out ammo. I think you're right, Bellamy," Wells says.
"About what?" Murphy asks.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend," Wells says.
"You want to get the reapers?" Bellamy asks.
Wells nods. "Maybe I'll find Roan, and he can help," Wells says.
"Go," Bellamy says. Wells nods as he leaves.
The Ark
"Mecha station's good to go. Orchid station, good to go. Flint station, good to go. Hydra station is good to go. Aero station is good to go," People over the Pa say.
"Chancellor Jaha, all stations are prepared for launch," Kane says to Jaha, who was beside Callie.
"In peace, may you leave this shore in love may you find the next. Safe passage on your travels. Until our final journey to the ground. May we meet again," Jaha says.
"May we meet again," Everybody on the Ark says.
"Jake," Jaha says.
"Yes, sir," Jake says
"Take us home," Jaha says.
"Taking us home, sir," Jake says. "Initiate Go-Sci separation," Jake says. "In 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. Separate," Jake says. Kane grabs Callie's hand as the Ark separates and heads for Earth.
"Hold on tight, Jake, Abby, Kane, Callie. We'll see our kids soon," Jaha says as they head for Earth.
The Dropship
Everybody was preparing at camp when they heard drums. "They're here," Harper says. Bellamy runs over to Miller and Monroe. "Where's Octavia and Lincoln?" Bellamy asks.
"They left five minutes ago. Didn't say where to," Miller says. "She thinks she's a damn samurai," Miller says. Bellamy smiles.
"Lincoln taught her good," Bellamy says. "You see anything?" He asks.
"No. what the hell are they waiting for?" Monroe asks.
"I don't know," Bellamy says.
"I see them. They're moving!" Sterling says. "I count two, three. No wait there's more. I don't know, man. There's too many of them," Sterling says when they hear a gunshot.
"Who was that?" Bellamy asks.
"Sterling, I think," Miller says.
"South foxhole," Monroe says.
"South foxhole report now," Bellamy says. They hear gunshots.
"Yeah, yeah. We're okay. They didn't attack. It's like shooting at ghosts," Sterling says. Azgeda runs through the woods.
"There," Monroe says. "I see them," She says. They start to shoot.
"Stop! Stop. Hold your fire!" Bellamy yells. They stop. "Reload now," Bellamy says.
"Those are our last clips," Miller says.
"We should fall back," Monroe says.
"No. If this position falls, they'll walk through the front door," Bellamy says as he aims. Bellamy and Murphy talk to the hundred.
"We need backup," Jasper says. Jasper and Athena shoot at grounders as a mine goes off, killing one of them. "Mia, our minds actually worked," Jasper says. "All gunners listen up. Azgeda is not attacking. They're making us waste bullets. Don't shoot when they're running laterally," Jasper says.
"Jasper's right. Don't fire until you're sure it's an attack," Murphy says. Nobody shoots for a bit, and Azgeda comes.
"They're everywhere! Fall back," A man on the radio.
"Here they come," Miller says. They start to shoot the warriors as Monroe runs. Bellamy is taken down as Miller is stabbed in the shoulder. Lincoln and Octavia come back, both killing two warriors.
"Admit it. You want one," Octavia says to her brother. An arrow goes into Octavia's leg as Nyko comes over.
"Fall back now," Bellamy says as Lincoln picks Octavia up. "When you two get an opening run like hell with her," Bellamy says.
Wells runs through the woods when he sees another person. "Roan," Wells says. The person stops and looks at him. He comes over.
"Wells," Roan says. "What are you doing?" Roan asks.
"I need your help," Wells says.
"With?" Roan asks.
"I need you to help me lead reapers back to the camp," Wells says.
"You people are strange, but that could work," Roan says. "Follow me," Roan says. Wells follows.
"If they take the gate. We're all dead," Wells hears Murphy say as they run.
"We have to hurry," Roan says.
"They've broken through. There are one hundred's of them. They're heading for the gate," Murphy hears.
"Murphy get the hell out here," Bellamy says over the radio. Murphy nods as he runs over to Harper. "Find Atom, Emma, and Mia. I'll get Clarie. Nyko and Lincoln will get out with Octavia. We meet back here," Murphy says. Harper nods. Murphy runs to Claire and Roy. They were together. "Claire, we got to go," Murphy says to the blond, who nods. Roy looks at her. He sets his gun down and kisses the grounder.
"We will meet again. That is a promise," Roy says to Claire, who nods as she follows Murphy. Roy looks at Easten, who was beside him.
"One last party," Roy says.
"Hell right," Easten says as they start to shoot again. Murphy runs over to the front of the dropship and sees Harper, Atom, Emma, and Mia.
"Bellamy, see you soon," Murphy says.
"May we meet again," Bellamy says.
"May we meet again," Murphy says before they leave the hundred camp, getting out of a tunnel and running past a few Azgeda. They move towards them.
"No, we take the rest," Ontari says to the men, who nodded. They hear an explosion in the sky.
"That's the Ark," Murphy says over the radio.
Kane holds Callie as they go down, as does Jake with his wife. Stations start to blow up. "We're coming," Kane says.
On the ground, Azegda hears yelling. "Reapers," Tyler yells. Wells and Roan run towards the two leaders with Reapers behind them. They turn and run away. "Roan, you son a bitch," Tyler says. The reapers look at Azgeda, and they fight. Wells comes back into camp and Roan goes over to Lincoln, Nyko, Bellamy, and Octavia.
"You need to go now," Bellamy says. Lincoln and Nyko nod. "You too. Get to the capital and get Billy and the others ready," Bellamy says to Roan, who nods as he leaves. "Take care of her," Bellamy says to Lincoln.
"I will," Lincoln says.
"O," Bellamy says. Octavia looks at him. "I told you my life ended the day you were born. The truth is it didn't start until then. Go with him. I need you to live, and besides, I got this," Bellamy says. Octavia hugs her brother.
"I love you, big brother," Octavia says.
"May we meet again," Bellamy says.
"May we meet again," Octavia says, followed by Lincoln and Nyko.
"Go," Bellamy says. The two grounders nod as they take Octavia and leave. Bellamy grabs his radio. "Hey, Murphy," Bellamy says.
"I'm here, Bell," Murphy says.
"Just in case I don't make it out. Make sure Billy knows that I fought for all of this and that he is a real asshole," Bellamy says.
"I will," Murphy says. Bellamy puts his radio away. Bellamy moves for the dropship.
Roy and Easten turn around as an arrow goes through Easten's back, and he falls. "No!" Roy yells.
"Go," Easten says.
"I love you, man," Roy says before he runs, leaving Easten, who dies. Miller runs into the dropship. The hundred start to throw grenades. Wells runs out of the dropship.
"Everybody inside now!" Wells yells. Wells gets behind cover as an arrow comes towards him. Roy goes inside. "Bellamy, run!" Wells yells. Tyler tries to attack him. Wells grabs a gun and shoots Tyler in the shoulder as he knocks Bellamy down. Wells runs and takes Tyler to the grounder. Roy looks at Wells, who nods. Roy shuts the dropship. Ontari comes on. They all look at her.
"I'm Ontari," Ontari says.
"Stop," Roy says. "She's with us," Roy says as he grabs the button. "She's a spy. Roan's ally," Roy says. They all nod.
"Roy now," Jasper says. Roy presses the button Mia had made, and the ship blasts off, killing the grounders.
With Abby
Abby, Kane, Callie, Jaha, and Jake climb out of the station. "It's beautiful," Kane says.
"We did it," Jaha says.
"We did, and now we find our kids and the others," Jake says.
"And we plant your mother's tree," Callie says as she holds the tree. Kane nods. They head for the smoke they see.
Polis
Billy stood on a platform in the city. They bring Finn out in front of him and put him on his knees. The people of Polis watch as Lexa walks forward. "This man killed one of us, and now he must die but not by our traditional ways. But by his own leader. If nobody knows, this is Billy Kom Skaikru, the leader of the hundred and of the Ark. That is what we all saw earlier. They will help us with what comes next," Lexa says as she backs up.
"My people have a way of sending our dead off or our dead to be. A saying," Billy says as he looks at Finn. "In peace, may you leave this shore. In love, may you find the next. Safe passage on your travels. Until our final to the ground. May we meet again," Billy says.
"May we meet again," Lexa says, followed by the rest of the city following their leader.
"May we meet again," Finn says. "Thank you," He says to Billy, who nods. Billy pulls out the sword given to him by Anya and puts it through Finn's heart. Finn looks at him before he dies. Billy pulls the sword out as Finn's body goes to the ground. "Yu gonplei ste odon," Billy says. Lexa looks at him and nods.
"Now I leave with my companions to go meet the people of the Ark. We will take the body. Our dead have been avenged. Blood has had blood," Lexa says. The people cheer. Lexa looks at Billy.
"Get him ready. I'll meet you at the horses," Billy says before he walks off the platform. Raven and Clarke watch him as he walks away.
The Dropship
The door opens as the hundred walk out Roy and Ontari at the front. Bodies on the ground as they step on the ground. Red smoke comes beside them over the wall. "What the hell?" Jasper asks.
"Mountain men," Ontari says. The hundred cough as they fall to the ground. Men come out of the smoke with guns.
An unknown room
Roy wakes up and looks around the white room. He stands up and sees a painting. He walks to the door. He sees Monty in the other room, who looks at him. "Monty?" Roy says as he tries to open the door. He looks at a sign. Mount Weather quarantine ward.
That is it for season 1. Finally, I have tried doing this story three times and the third time I did it. Guess I am doing something right. By the way I know Jaha was in the station with Jackson but I put him with the others so please don't comment about that. It doesn't really matter and he would have still ended up with the others. This was just easier so please don't comment or review about that. Next, we start season two, and the grounders meet the Ark. Next chapter Billy, Clarke, Raven, and Charlotte meet with their friends and parents. The fate of others is revealed, Roy and Ontari break out of the mountain, and a clash of leadership happens between Billy and Jaha as Billy deals with the fact that he had just killed one of his friends. Season two brings new ideas, so please let me know if you have any. I loved this story and this season for sure, and I am so excited for season two. As always, suggestions, feedback, and ideas and welcomed. Until next time and I hope to see you in season 2.
