Holy crap! Another short weekend I had! LOL! Anyway, Story's about to end… well, almost. But either way, thanks for reading and reviewing!

Chapter 6: She Who Returned

F.E.A.R Point Man was waiting for his chopper, up the roof, and it was getting dark out. The moon rose, and he started to get tired from fighting all day. He sat and relaxed, hoping the Replicas wouldn't come and ambush him all of a sudden. He then noticed the footsteps behind him. He turned around but no one, like before, was there. But the footprints looked awfully familiar, since they were covered in nothing but blood. The footprints were getting closer and closer to him, so he backed away. He was at the edge of the building, and was about to fall off. But when he was close, the chopper appeared above him. He quickly jumped and rode on the side seat. He closed his eyes and hoped "she" wasn't in the chopper with him.

She said three days… I only have two days left…

The Point Man shook it out of his mind and watched the chopper being high up in the sky. But he only noticed that thinking more about Alma just made the flight short, as he didn't have a chance to look around. He was at the headquarters at last.

"You came back from your "personal" reason?" Jin asked as she was waiting for the Point Man to come down.

"Yeah… I'm tired." The Point Man replied as he jumped down and went for the empty room of his. He fell on his empty bed and finally fell asleep, after a big day.

And day 2 arrived… he only had one more day to prepare for the final moment of his life.

If the next day is when I meet my destiny… when she who returned… Alma… appears… so be it.

He reloaded all his weapons, and he took a Particle Weapon instead of taking pistols. But he left them in his room, and went outside to at least enjoy the last day of his life. He did the little things, such as buying an overpriced hot dog and was over cooked, but he finally got something that taste good for a long time. But just when he was about to make his last bite, he saw the ATC Facility again. A helicopter was going out from the roof, while the Replicas tried shooting them down, one with a Multi Rocket Launcher. But none of them managed to hit the chopper.

Wow, these Replicas must be really dumb. It took them an entire day to finally take over this facility?

The Point Man then finished his hot dog. He couldn't do anything about the ATC incident now, but he had more to worry about. He walked away, trying to forget what happened. He walked back to the F.E.A.R Headquarters, and checked his weapons again. He also refilled his grenades, mimes, and remote bombs. When the preparation was finished, he got his helmet but didn't wear it. He just put it around his arm as he put his weapons in his gear. He then noticed the clock saying 2:00 PM.

Time runs faster when you don't want things to happen…

But he finally became brave, to face the only thing and person that he feared the most, yet the one who cherished him a little. He then took out a picture of him, Jin, Batters, and Jankowski who was bunny earring the Point Man. He drew a single tear, and dropped it to the ground, knowing he won't see them anymore, or MAYBE he won't see them anymore. No one ever knew if he will survive from Alma, but the Point Man himself didn't believe that. She can kill him.

But no matter what, the Point Man was never giving in, even if things did not seem possible.

He waited for the entire day, doing nothing but what a normal human would do. When it came to the time 10:59 PM, he got out his weapons in his disposal again, and got his mask on. While he was walking out, Jin passed by.

"Where are you going…?" She wondered.

The F.E.A.R Point Man refused to make the real answer, or to say he was going out to die. That would be just too stupid of a story for Jin.

"I'm not coming back." He replied and ran off outside.

"Wait! What?"

The Point Man ran all the way to the ATC Facility's ruins, and by the time he was there the time came to 11:49PM by the time he arrived.

Eleven minutes left… better prepare myself.

But there were Replicas soldiers outside too, but only three survived from the facility collapsing as they couldn't get out in time, or that they were high up on the ground and couldn't survive from a long jump. He stepped above a pile of rubble, and stared down at the Replicas, and cocked his Shotgun. The Replicas heard the cocking.

Alma… Fettel… this will be your last soldiers.

He jumped down and shot one of them with his Shotgun as he jumped down on his head at close range, ripping it to pieces and blood squirted. The other two noticed, and one of them had a Multi Rocket Launcher. The other had an ASP Rifle. He took out his Penetrator and turned on his Slow Mo, and quickly shot the Rocket Launcher wielding soldier with a headshot, killing him. The other one managed to score (heh, funny word for this case) a hit on the Point Man, but with only burst. He shot him down with his Penetrator as well, and finally turned off the Slow Mo, knowing that he killed the last Replicas.

Final battle is just beginning, though…

He then looked at his watch, which said 11:59 PM after he waited.

I have one last minute of life.

He then suddenly thought of other people he relied on, and one of them was Jin, who actually considered him "cute". He always remembered that.

A strange noise was heard, and from where it was heard, Alma appeared out of nowhere. She walked towards the Point Man as he aimed his Penetrator at her.

"I can see you are ready to meet your destiny…" Alma softly said as she made a sadistic smile. F.E.A.R Point Man's face dropped sweat. But he tried acting brave.

"You can do whatever you want to do with me…" F.E.A.R Point Man challenged as he clicked the safety off of the Penetrator, and finished, "But I for one will not give in my life that easily."

Alma laughed, "Do you honestly believe you can even lay a finger on me?" and when she finished her laughing, she decided to complete her sentence, "Well give it a try, my dear… not even your brother was brave enough to face me…"

F.E.A.R Point Man shot his Penetrator at the instant, but Alma didn't seem to get hurt. He tried the head, but by the time he shot, she teleported right in front of him, and put her hand on his shoulder. It didn't kill him, but the Point Man screamed in pain. He clutched and saw that it was bleeding.

"What's the matter? I hardly think that can hurt a fly…" Alma insulted as she lowered her eyes of shame of her own son.

The Point Man then got out his Particle Weapon. He aimed at her head.

"And now you're trying another weapon… before you even fire, I'll make your life suffer…"

She created a fireball and threw it at him, which was starting to burn him. He tried fighting the heat but it was useless. Alma then used her finger to lift the Point Man to the sky and threw him three meters away from where he used to be. He landed on the ground with a big thud, and tried getting back up.

"Why was it that you were able to annihilate the entire army your brother created… yet not me…?" Alma questioned, agitated that her son was indeed a failure, "I guess you really are a failure after all… then I have absolutely no use to have you around."

She created a fireball again, this time to bring the final blow. But F.E.A.R Point Man quickly fired his Particle Weapon at it, making the two particles heat so much that it created a wall of flame instead.

"I maybe weak, but I will never give up!" Point Man shouted as he got a Multi Rocket Launcher from the ground and fired, firing three rockets and created a massive explosion. One of them hit Alma, and she took minor damage. Minor.

"You're getting more irritating than I thought…" Alma snarled as she jumped towards the Point Man, reaching out. But he quickly did a roundhouse kick as she got close on her face, which made her clutch it.

"Don't underestimate me." F.E.A.R Point Man replied with anger in his mind, and jumped down and rifle butted her, and after she got hit another time, she teleported back and summoned two Evil Spirits. This was just giving F.E.A.R Point Man a distraction, so he took out his Shotgun and fired one at a time with his Slow Mo, but while he was fighting the Evil Souls, Alma came up to him and attempted to reach out and kill him. But she barely missed, and the Point Man continued fighting the Evil Souls.

All of them died.

"You're really starting to get on my nerves…!" Alma shouted and her eyes flashed, making F.E.A.R Point Man have another hallucination.

Damn… I'm starting to hate these…

He walked towards the nothingness, but as he walked, there was sitting in the center, with his eyes closed, but he soon opened them and looked up at the Point Man. But they knew each other.

"I see you're still alive… and mother is about to kill you, isn't she?" Fettel grunted as he glared at the F.E.A.R Point Man.

"Fettel…!"

"Calm down. What can I do with no weapons and in a cell?"

The Point Man calmed down, but Fettel began speaking, "What have I done… if she hadn't done this, nothing like this would've started."

"Listen, Fettel! She is going to kill me, then every ATC and my team members! And without ATC, no one will live… right?" F.E.A.R Point Man demanded as his younger brother sighed and reached his pocket.

"This bullet round is no ordinary… Harlan Wade created this, and gave it to me while I was still insane, as he was forced to. He didn't want to die when he was going to release mother…" Fettel replied and gave the bullet.

"So this can stop her… all right… but how can I stop this hallucination?"

Fettel closed his eyes, and disappeared into the darkness, but the darkness then became light to the Point Man, and he was pulled in.

He was back in the real world, but he felt something in his pocket. He reached and also saw a pistol out of nowhere. He reached it and put the bullet round inside it, as the shotgun was too big for that. He turned on his Slow Mo as Alma tried reaching out and killing him, but he fired the shot on the chest.

Boom.

The round pierced through her, and Alma was off her feat. But the Point Man was also bleeding.

Harlan Wade created this… the only thing that can possibly kill Alma. Yet, why would he create such a thing to kill her? Would it be what he created… in case Alma did something wrong? In case if Alma was to ruin the Origin Project?

"My soul… it'll rest… finally…" Alma gasped in pain as F.E.A.R Point Man got closer to his mother, who continued, "Keep yourself alive… my son… even if I am in hell… I'll miss you… sweetheart."

F.E.A.R Point Man drew tears as he stared at Alma.

"Mother…"

Alma was finally dead, at last. The last thing of the Origin project was dead, gone. But the F.E.A.R Point Man was also hurt, so much, it started raining and he fell unconscious too. He had to be alive, though, like he promised Alma.

But she who returned was finally dead.

To be concluded…

Stupid for having Alma die so early, or how the Point Man himself can kill her? Yeah, it sounds a bit silly, but hey, it's some what dramatic at the end when Alma is about to die, right? Right? And yes, you saw it, CONCLUDED! Next chapter will be my last. And sorry that the chapter isn't as good as the previous ones, but you have to understand I'm a busy guy. Anyway, please R&R!
