Chapter 8: Finale
Virginia found herself in the same room that she was in when she fainted.
She sat up and realized her hand was clutched onto Jet's. They noticed this and automatically untangled their fingers. Gallows and Clive awoke as well, groggy.
" I'm surprised you made it that far," said Beatrice/David, "Well, you just came here to lose anyway."
Kaityln woke up and huddled behind her father.
" Kaitlyn," said Clive, " I need you to be a big girl for Daddy and run away. Go to the dragon, she'll take you home..."
" No...." said Kaityln, " I don't wanna leave you, daddy...."
Clive knelt down and put his hands on her shoulders, " You have to be strong, you have to go!"
Kaitlyn unwillingly ran down the corridor and escaped.
Then, Beatrice attacked Virginia with a fireball. She winced, her skin burnt. Thankfully, Gallows casted a healing spell on her.
" We have no choice," said Clive, " We have to fight them."
" Jet!" said Virginia, " Try, please!"
Jet was confused. He never came with an instruction manual, let alone anyone fully explaining his powers. He wasn't even sure how to use his power at all, when he defeated LeeHalt with his powers; it just sorta happened.
Clive didn't hesitate. He shot Beatrice with his ARM, and she barely flinched.
" I told you," said Beatrice, " You can't win. In his form, I can't be killed."
" Why?!"asked Gallows.
" My powers are much stronger in him than the girl's," she answered, "Your puny attacks can't harm me!"
" Oh yeah?" cried Gallows, " Assault Tide!"
None other than the Guardian of Water appeared and assaulted Beatrice with a Tidal Wave. She still stood, grinning evily.
Virginia summoned Lucied, while everyone else shot their ARMS. But nothing affected her.
Beatrice countered by shouting the name of her newest and most lethal attack, " Eternal Nightmare!"
Black energy pools formed under Virginia and the gang and sucked them in. Virginia had never experienced as much pain, fear and sorrow than she did in that 1 attack. The black energy kept shooting into her like spears, hurting her mentally and physically.
It's all over, she thought, ...over....I'm sorry....everyone.....
There was a faint, but sparkly white light in the distance. It's mere presence made Virginia feel safe, and content.
Zepher...., she thought, Jet's Guardian.....The Guardian of Hope.
She was drawn to its brightness and it aided her escape from the Eternal Nightmare.
Although she was out of the woods, Virginia was still in bad shape. She could barely stand, and it hurt whenever she tried to move. Virginia spotted her comrades in a similar state.
" Virginia!" cried Jet, forcing himself to move towards her, although it caused him pain, " Are you okay?"
" Never better," she replied, sarcastically; and let out a sharp cry of pain.
" We're gonna get out of this, alright?" he said, forcing himself to believe it as well.
" Who are you kidding?" taunted Beatrice, " You were a failed experiment of that twisted Elliot Enduro. You can't do anything right! Now watch as your girlfriend dies because of your failure."
" Shutup!" snapped Jet, rage burning in his eyes, " so many lives..... this ends now!"
Virginia felt her strength leaving quickly, " .....Jet..." she mumbled.
" Oh looks like her strength is dwindling!" said Beatrice, arrogantly.
" Shutup!" he cried, " I may be a failed experiment, but that's more than enough to defeat you!"
And with that, Jet's anger exploded into a ball of blue, crackling, powerful energy that shot into David's body. David's body twitched violently, forcing Beatrice's ghostly visage out of him. He dropped to the floor, knocked out. She let out a bloodcurling cry as she shattered into a million pieces and died; once and for all.
Virginia automatically felt her strength return with the destruction of Beatrice.
" You did it!" cried Virginia, throwing her arms around Jet.
" Uh...y-yeah...." Jet stammered.
" Awww....look at our 2 lovebirds here," said Gallows, smiling.
" That's not very approriate thing to say after all that's happened." said Clive, " Well, all in a day's work. I better check to see if Kaityln's alright."
He left, and Gallows said, " Meet you 2 outside," and winked.
" Dumb olf....." mumbled Jet.
" .....I know this is a bit too fast to ask," said Virginia, turning away from him, " But, what will you do now?"
".....hmm...." said Jet, " Guess go on my lonesome and do romantic Drifter stuff and treasure hunt."
She punched him in the shoulder.
" I'm kidding! Ow..." said Jet, " I know you'll probably follow me until the end of the world anyway, so I guess I'll stick around longer."
Just then, David awoken.
You...all.." he said, " I'm so sorry after all the trouble we caused. Beatrice had strung us along until the very end. We were too weak to stop ourselves. We will clear your names and alert the public of Lamuim's true killer."
" No problem," said Virginia, although she was lying.
Virginia and Jet walked outside and her jaw dropped. Everything was green.
The once dry and dead plains of Filgia had grass, flowers, trees and even water. Oceans of blue stretched for miles, covering what used to be oceans of sand.
" Daddy!" cried Kaityln, who had waited, " I knew you'd come back!"
" Kaityln!" cried Clive, and hugged her.
" Wow....." said Gallows, " So this is the way our world was susposed to be huh? Oh and thanks back there, Ginny. In that alternate universe thingy."
" Yes, thank you as well." said Clive.
"......uh....I don't know how to say this...." said Jet, " But thanks....you helped me alot."
" Just returning the favor," said Virginia and she smiled.
They were finally out of the eye of the storm. Now, they could go on with the rest of their lives, whatever that maybe.
THE END
