Chapter Nine: Neverender
The subship travelled through space, Erickson looked at the monitor again. "How the Hell, sir, we are heading towards Shylos 10. That FBI ship must have taken us to Sector in warp drive!" Erickson punched in a few coordinates. "We will be landing in a very secluded part of the planet, so no one will be around." He looked at the monitor, and pressed a few more buttons. "We will enter the atmosphere soon, we better hook ourselves in." They all put on their buckles and readied for the rough drop.
"I've gone about things all wrong..." Whispered the young boy. Patrick looked down to him, he was still unsure about the boy. He opened his mouth to speak, then stopped to think about his words. He again approached the child.
"Listen kid, we all have problems. It helps to talk about them, bury them here. You should never regret your lifetime, it's precious. Live to the fullest, ya know? Let's start with your name." He looked up at him, his arms were crossed and his faces was wet with tears.
"My name is Claudio Kilgannon. I'm from Hetricus, in Sector 12. I'm 15, and I was an only child. My parents left on a mission with an agent named Mayo Deftinwolf. I have killed one person in my life, and I hold the key to destroying planets.. The FBI killed me, and I came back to life. So they were taking me to Wilhelm Ryan." He looked Patrick dead in the eyes with a straight face. Patrick's eyes widened, and his jaw dropped.
"You know, back there was the first time I killed a man. And I regret it, the horrible cries. See these men, Erickson and Donald? They have been with me since I was four. They know more about me than I do. Erickson once told me that I toss and turn everynight."
"Back at home, I raped my girlfriend. I miss her now that she is gone. I'm sure you think I'm a liar." Said Claudio.
"Kid, anything we have done in the past, can be forgiven now. I don't think anyless of you for what you've done, it's just not in me." Erickson turned to Patrick. They made eye contact, and Patrick shook his head. The ship made impact on the surface of the planet. It took several minutes for each man to come back to the conscious world. When Patrick looked to Claudio, he was gone. "Men, pack up. We don't have to time look for this kid." They gathered what little they had and made way towards a small town known as S10-C15.
Claudio staggered towards and old overpass. His ears were bleeding from the impact of the ship. His left hand had healed up by now, and he could us both of them. He made his way up to the leveled area that was directly under the upper most of the overpass. He laid down on the ground, breathing deep, heavy gasps of air. If he were to die now, he wouldn't be as lucky as before. He put his hands on his chest to slow his breathing.
He eventually calmed himself and sat up. "I'll be home.. Mom and dad. Forget your son, he's out on his own now. Don't worry about me anymore. We'll meet again..." The tears ran across his face, and the sun read 7:30. He stood straight and imagined the things that could have been. The thoughts ran through his mind. "...In the Neverend." He pulled a gun out of his right pocket and put in his mouth. He pulled the trigger, and fell to the ground.
Coheed sat with a gun to his head. Tears ran down his face cheek, and he closed his eyes. The gun fell to the floor, and he passed out. Mariah stood at the door's edge, looking in. "It'll be a long walk home Kilgannon. I promise you this, you will be home again. And she'll be waiting for you, with open arms. Don't worry about this. Sleep now, you don't need to be awake."
She walked to the control panel of her ship, the Ember Light, and pressed a small button. The large screen turned on and Jesse's face graced the panel. Jesse moved his head and Mariah gazed upon the Super IRO-Bot that lay disassembled on the table before her. His arms needed attached, and the dark day grew closer. She looked at Jesse, and smiled. "This will be yours, Mariah. Just a few more days now."
Coheed began to dream. He was writing a letter to his love. The long time passing by them, he had no way of knowing where she was. "I'll be home Cambria, you said you would answer. I'll be there to say I love you. And I'll be moving on... We'll move on."
