The space around her is cold yet warm at the exact same time. The pain from her chest vanished in a single instant as she feels herself floating yet falling at the same time. Six opens her eyes to find herself swimming, floating, and sinking all at the same time. She feels the urge to hold her breath only to find that she doesn't need to. She places her hand on her chest and she doesn't even feel her heart beating.
No pulse, realization settling in as she looks around wildly.
"Nononononono!"
She's dead, she's crossed over. Only the surface rising…. Or was it falling? The area around her despite being pitch black was disorienting beyond belief. Regardless she kept drawing closer and closer to an edge of something. She reached out her hand to break the surface of whatever it was.
Only for something to snag her ankle and pull her in the opposite direction. She looks down pulling her leg closer to see a darkened tendril bound around her. The Void's voice laughing in her head.
"Oh how I love it when a plan comes to fruition like this."
A single Eye blinked into existence growing larger and larger below Six. Its iris shining with multicolored light. The pupil within opening and closing like a mouth as it pull, Six further and further into darkness.
"Although it is unfortunate that I had to abandon my original plan to make this work. But the things I'll do to see the people I truly loath suffer."
Six struggles against the tendril, trying to get away, and trying to break the surface again. Amidst the struggling Six watches hundreds of smaller lights start floating up as well. Looking closer she sees that some of the lights have cones for heads. Cones that are turning into human faces, no children's faces She realizes she's watching other Nomes that passed away moving on. One other light rises passing Six and the two pause for a second. The light shifts and transforms into Cinca who, while glaring, looks up and down at her situation before smiling evilly and ascending as well. As quick as the lights of other souls appeared they disappeared in an instant.
"There's no point in going after Cinca in case you're wondering she's served her purpose. She can endure whatever the Eyes prepared for her. Speaking of which STOP STRUGGLING! While it is moot to fight me I need to wrap this up so we're back in my realm."
The surface stops shimmering in front of Six's vision. She can feel something urging her to go up there as well but the Void's influence is too strong to resist. She covers her ears to no avail as the Void continues to taunt her.
"Who knew the man could scream so much. Oh…" The Void shuddered in pleasure, "Mono's screams were music to my ears when he realized you finally passed on. Your blood painting his hands and the floor below will be an image to relish. Your final wishes so pitiful yet childish, you never got over that stupid toy did you. Even into adulthood, pah! And the way you died could not have been better. When Mono passed away originally he had means of revival through you breathing air into his waterlogged lungs. You? You died gored on a wooden spike, your organs obliterated upon impact, and I'm surprised you didn't die immediately. Of course, I had to ensure Mono wouldn't immediately heal. Even now Kai's trying to find hope in a useless situation. Oh! How could I forget the other one? I'm sure he's blaming himself right now. Wracked with grief with someone who grew close to as a friend. I'm sure he's offering himself up to save you but knowing Mono's pure hearted crap won't do that."
The Void laughs once again as Six is pulled further and further into darkness. The light from her own soul starting to diminish as well as she only thinks about Mono and Kai right now and how she'll never see them again.
Mono and Kai
Kai only stands with his hands raised to his head trying to process the sadness erupting from him as Mono howls in depression. Clutching Six's body pulling it into a cold embrace as Mono sobs into her shoulder. The halls echo with Mono's screams and demands for Six to come back. The blood on the floor pooling around creating a silhouette around her. As Kai stands there he realizes.
They aren't alone. Kai quickly turns around tears thrown from his face as he draws his blade.
"Show yourself!"
With a shimmer in the air a spectral Eye forms out of nothing.
"How joyful it is to see such a tragedy. It's quite an amusing comedy for me as I laugh upon your torment."
In anger Kai releases another bout of wind and null at the construct only to pass harmlessly.
"Ha fool! I'm not actually here. Like my brethren I'm only an observer. Currently I'm dragging that rat's love into my realm and once she's in there. There's no escape! Hope you two had enough time with her because you'll never see her again."
With that the Void blinked out of existence. Kai just looks at Mono who just keeps crying before thinking back to himself. Remembering the grocery store three years ago and how Mono healed himself and recently the Nomes. Flesh, that was the answer. If they could find some usable flesh they could heal Six and… maybe…. Bring her back. Of course, the closest source of meat was…
Nothing, Kai and Six had already destroyed the flesh lining the MAW and Cinca had already been burnt up. Once again they had played right into the Void's hand.
Now out of options Kai reflects on what the Void said. "When you two die you'll be in Elysium with no way to me."
The way the Void said that seemed to imply that it intended for them to die at the same time. Which meant there was still a trap on the MAW. Not wanting to fall for it the only course of action Kai saw was to get off the MAW. Sheathing his blade he walked over to Mono and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Mono, I know it hurts because it hurts me too, but we have to keep moving. Find a way to contact a ship."
Mono's response only unnerved. "Then you find a way to get off of here Kai. I think I'm done."
"Mono that's stupid if that's what think Six would-"
"AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT SIX WOULD WANT!?"
Mono turns around fully and Kai sees his face fully. Tears are pouring from his eyes, his eyes are glowing with blue and silver energy, his teeth are gritted to the point of static crackling between each tooth, his brows furrowed in the deepest scowl, static and electricity run down his arms dripping onto the floor.
"HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST LEAVE HER LIKE THAT!? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST WALK AWAY FROM THE LOVE OF LIFE LIKE THAT!? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO J-JUST TURN AWAY FROM A DREAM I'VE SHARED WITH HER FOR YEARS!? How do you expect me to-"
Mono falters his anger subsiding.
"To-"
The power around him fading away as the tears continued to flood from his eyes.
"T-"
Mono couldn't say another word as he burst into a torrent of tears once again. Kai slowly approached him pulling Mono into a hug. Letting him cry on his shoulder patting his back.
"I know Mono, I know it hurts. You most likely more than I. In these past hours you two became my friends. And in a single instant she was ripped from you. I don't want to leave her behind either friend but we need a way off this ship. I'll go look for something I'll leave you here to say your goodbyes."
Kai withdrew from the hug making his back to the elevator shaft. He knew Mono would need some time to himself and that is what he would allow Mono to have. Pondering exactly how he'd get down the destroyed shaft the rattling of a vent sounded nearby. On reflex Kai drew his blade prepared to defend themselves. The clanking of the vent weakly fell down as the both of them watched a single Nome trip into the room. Both Kai and Mono watched as the Nome pushed itself to their feet using their only arm. It was Mono who spoke first.
"M.E.L?"
M.E.L limps into the room holding a bleeding stump of an arm. Both of them watch M.E.L. looks around the room before settling its gaze on Mono and the fallen form of Six. It slowly walks toward the two limping as it approaches Mono. Dumbfounded Mono merely lets M.E.L. approach while Kai is very confused. M.E.L looks up at Mono for a sec before tripping over Six. Picking itself up it looks at the splinter lodged in Six's chest and grabbing it with its hand begins to tug out the wood.
"STO-" Mono is interrupted by Kai who grabs his arm.
"Wait." Kai watches M.E.L. successfully pull the splinter out revealing the see-through wound. With that finished M.E.L. lies down on top of Six's corpse waiting for something. M.E.L. presses a finger to their bleeding stump before writing on the floor.
USE ME
Mono looks down at the words then to M.E.L. who only lays down again. Even Kai looks a little unsure about the Nome's sacrifice.
Mono asks, "Are you sure that you want this?"
M.E.L. pauses before dabbing their finger with blood again. They then start tracing a line on the ground. Drawing two figures on one side while a Nome is drawn on another. M.E.L draws an arrow from the Nome to the other side. The Nome weakly nods before laying its head down again.
Mono firmly grasps M.E.L's hand activating his power. Kai watches in horrid fascination as the Nome begins to shudder. Mono then places his other hand on Six's wound.
M.E.L's form fades away as Mono transfers the flesh back into Six's body as it completely heals the wound. First the bone reforms, the organs, the arteries, the veins, the muscles, and skin. All form slowly but surely to the point that the only proof of a wound existing was the torn clothing. Speaking of which Mono tore off a piece of Six's cloak wrapping it around Six's body.
"Thank you M.E.L. your sacrifice will never be forgotten."
Kai also kneels down to Six body placing his fingers to her neck checking for a pulse.
"Uhhhh Mono…. She doesn't have a pulse."
"What!?"
Alarmed Mono presses his ear down to her chest. No heartbeat. He places his finger close to her nose not feeling any inhalation or exhalation.
So close yet so far. Still dead.
"No….."
Mono looks down at her body his fists shaking again. He thought it would be simple after that but…
"NO!"
Mono pounds his fist into the ground. Static cracking the wood below him with a few small bolts of electricity shooting out. Looking back at his hands he holds them out spread apart charging power before placing them on her chest.
"Kai, hold her body down!"
"What why?"
"JUST DO IT!"
Kai gently holds Six's body down as Mono thrusts his palms down.
Her body jolts Mono places his ear to her body.
Still no pulse.
Six
She still struggles as the Void drags her down. Although for some odd reason it now stays silent for unknown reasons. Six uses her powers to try loosening the tendril. It's like an iron lock it won't come undone. When that doesn't work her tries latching onto anything with her powers. Anything at all.
That's when she feels the slightest twitch within.
Mono and Kai
"COME ON!"
Mono once again charges up his power a little stronger and presses his to her body once again jolting.
Kai now listening for her heart shakes his no. Mono now looking frustrated charges his power.
"DAMN THE VOID AND DAMN ELYSIUM YOU ARE COMING BACK!"
Mono thrusts his hands onto her and her body jumps up her limbs slapping against the floor.
Six
The Void looks annoyed and Six wonders why. Every burst of energy just makes her feel stronger as she begins to successfully pry of the tendril.
"Dammit things were not supposed to go this way! Stupid Nome."
Six wonders what it's talking about before she hears Mono's voice in the darkness.
"Mono...?"
Mono and Kai
"Do you remember our dream Six? To be free?"
Mono charges up again getting close planting his hands closer to her heart. The power from his hands in blinding as he slams them down.
Six
Six feels the Void's grip weaken on her as she begins to slip upward. With vigor Six rapidly starts swimming upward away from the Void. She tries to listen for Mono's voice trying to swim in that direction.
The Void snatches onto her ankle.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Images start to float past both the Void and Six. Memories of both Mono and Six's journey.
Their fight against the Predator.
Mono carrying Six away from the School.
Six saving him from the Cadaver.
Lights began to shine from up above Six and the Void.
"Oh no."
Mono and Kai
"We finally got what we wanted Six. But now you aren't here to see it."
Mono raised his hands high up in the air sparks now flying off his hands.
"COME BACK TO ME!"
Kai is standing his hair on end as his hair is floating upwards due to all the static in the air. With that blast Kai's sent tumbling onto the ground.
Six
More images fly by as Six floats up again.
The Void attempts to grab her again but is blinded by the light above.
Mono and Six dancing while the ToyMaker is at work.
Mono and Six riding Jabali as they traveled.
Many nights spent together as they cuddled in the port city.
Many winter days as the two huddled near a fire.
Six still feels herself floating upward now bathed in a warm light. The harsh brightness pointed down at the Void.
Mono and Kai
Mono raises his fists up in the air power crackling and for a moment he hesitates.
"Is this what you felt when I died Six?" He whispers.
Tears fall down his face.
"I'm sorry for making you feel this way so I hope I can actually apologize to you."
His fists brighten up once again.
"I AM NOT LETTING YOU GO SIX! I DON'T CARE WHAT FORCE IS HOLDING YOU AWAY FROM ME! PLEASE COME BACK!"
With one last shout he slams his fists into her chest her body jolting before settling down. Mono gives up his power calming down. Kai walks behind Mono again placing his arm on his shoulder.
"Mono I don't think she's coming back." Kai pulls Mono into a small hug trying to comfort him.
Mono his hand up to close her eyes before leaning in and kissing her forehead. Tracing his hand down to her neck before attempting to lift her body. Then he stops when he feels it.
He feels Six's heart beating.
"SHE'S ALIVE!"
Out of paranoia Kai looks around the room only to see no traces of the Void. Seemingly vanished into nothing.
Six
Six looks around admiring all the fond memories when she feels it too.
Her heart beating as one other image pops up. She can see Mono holding her body weeping tears of joy while Kai looks around the room.
She tries to shake herself free when a voice enters her head.
"I would honestly stick around for the main show."
She turns in the darkness to see a large eye shifting colors of blue and silver approach her. It orbits her before saying.
"I know Mono will most likely hate me for it but i do want at least one you to see this."
"Are you... Angelo?"
The Eye laughs, "That is still technically not my name but yes I am Angelo. Now shush and watch the show."
Surrounding the Void multiple lights shine all around the Void coming from the darkness. All of them gaze upon the Void as they circle around them.
The Void seeing this attempts to blink out of existence before grayish silver energy prevents The Void from doing so. Elysium Eyes of all shapes and sizes corner the Void leaving no room for escape. Ten of the largest Elysium Eyes approach The Void but not before turning to the one focusing the energy.
"Thank you, Runawaime."
The Elysium Eye merely blinks once before looking back at the Void.
"Ahime..."
The Void looks angrily to the one that just spoke. "THAT IS MY NAME NO LONGER!"
The Eye continues anyway, "Ahime you have committed crimes both against the world and Elysium. For your crimes against Elysium we banished you to the realm our own creator left behind. So that you could be forever blinded never to see the changes of the world. Instead, you grew in power there finding ways to infect the world with your corruption. Corrupting the laws of time through your human puppets sending the world into a time of nightmares and chaos. While we applauded those who fought against it, it was your power that allowed Mono to cross back over into the world of the living."
The Void now known as Ahime said, "Bah that wasn't me. There were other possible means of starting a Cycle again so at that point it didn't matter to me whether the static child lived or not."
The Eye questions, "Then who was it that let him return to the world of the living?"
Angelo speaks up, "Actually that would be me that did that. I temporarily locked his teleportation ability just so he couldn't do that again"
The Eye turns around seeing both Angelo and Six floating, "I'll get to you two in a moment."
The Eye continues again, "Furthermore you attempted to start another Cycle through the means of the fifth Veronica or as you referred to as 'Cinca.' A failed attempt but one that has thankfully blessed us with golden fruit. With you in our grasp we can now carry out a more meaningful sentence."
Ahime quivers in fear as it now sees nowhere to go, "Ahime you are guilty of breaking our most important rule of noninterference with the world of the living. As such we would banish you into the abyss and be done with it. But we tried that already so instead we have another idea."
The Eye looks around as all of its brethren light up with power.
"You will be exiled from all of Elysium and the Void and into the world of the living. You will carry out your duties as an observer, but you will be powerless as a bug. A squirming ugly little thing living the rest of your mortal life in the world. After which you will truly die not even a face to your name. No one will remember you and no one will care."
The Elysium Eyes charged up their power as Ahime quivered. Focusing all of its power Ahime struggled to hold onto any of its powers before being banished.
Six angrily says, "So they just let him go! WHY!? AFTER EVERYTHING IT'S-"
Six is cut off as Angelo nudges her before pointing back at the portal to the living.
Mono and Six
A sound of tearing paper is heard as Kai and Mono look back out towards the balcony. A small black object bounces on the floor out of nowhere. Bouncing a few time tumbling onto the ground. It stops before moving of its own accord. Eight small legs poke out before standing upright. Eight eyes open all multicolored and its mandibles drip with venom. It looks around gathering its surroundings and environment. Stopping at Kai and Mono before quivering in fear.
"Uh Oh."
Mono and Kai hear a voice in their heads.
"He's mortal now he can die."
The spider slowly backs up as Kai and Mono approach with predatory grin. Mono cracking his knuckles while Kai picks up his blade. Power is flaring from the both of them.
Mono smirks before saying "Hey Void, Payback's a bitch huh?"
The two of them unleash their powers with the full intent of killing the Void. The resounding wave of power shook the MAW in their attempt to kill the Void. Narrowly missing it the Void launched into the squirmed into the floorboards. Disappearing into the darkness.
Six
Angelo and Six laugh and cheer as the Void is peppered by a slew of attacks from Kai and Mono.
Six stops laughing first realizing something.
"Wait, if you could exile the Void like that. Why didn't you do that when the cycles first happened? Stop all this from occuring."
Angelo pauses before beginning to answer. Only to be interrupted by the larger Eye.
"DO NOT QUESTION OUR WAYS CHILD. YOU AND MONO ARE TREADING ON THIN ICE AS IT IS TAMPERING WITH TIME AS HE HAD. IF YOU MUST KNOW AHIME WAS PLACED IN A REALM WE ONLY USED FOR EXILE. HE COULD NEVER STEP INTO OUR PLAIN BEING FORBIDDEN FOR DOING SO. IN HIS DESIRE FOR TORTURING YOU HE DISREGARDED THIS LAW AND ALLOWED US TO STRIKE. WHEN HE TRULY DIES, HE WILL BE BANISHED FROM ALL REALMS."
Angelo begins drifting away trying to sneak from the gaze of all other Eyes. Just to be held in place.
"AND DON'T THINK WE'VE FORGOTTEN YOU EREB. WHILE WE THANK YOU FOR THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN FOR STOPPING OUR BROTHER AHIME. YOU STILL BROKE OUR MOST PRECIOUS LAWS MANY TIMES. INTERFERENCE WITH THE WORLD OF THE LIVING AND ASSISTING THOSE BACK TO THE LIVING!"
Angelo now known as Ereb meekly spoke, "In my defense I was only trying to help my living counterpart live a better life than the one he got."
The Eyes stayed silent at first, "THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT OF WHAT YOU DID. YOU KNOW THAT THIS MEANS PUNISHMENT. AND OF SAID PUNISHMENT."
"YOU CAN'T SEND HIM TO THE VOID." Six shouts at the massive wall of eyes.
"Not after what he's done."
"YOU DARE TRY AND COMMAND US!?"
"It seems to me that Angelo or Ereb or whatever his name is was the only one who was actively trying to return the world to normal. Mono told me that powers actually come from you things. So, it seems to me that you were actually making things worse instead of normal. Meanwhile Angelo offered words of guidance in person to Mono telling him how to stop the Void and start putting things back to normal. Look at what Kai, Mono, and I have accomplished after Angelo aided us even if it was just through Mono."
The Eyes floated resolute, "THAT STILL DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT HE BROKE OUR LAWS. ORIGINALLY, WE WERE GOING TO SEND YOU TO THE VOID, BUT WE TRIED THAT ONCE AND ENDED UP WITH A WORLD OUT OF BALANCE. SO INSTEAD OF EXILE TO THE VOID. YOU WILL BE EXILED TO THE WORLD OF THE LIVING. WHAT FORM WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE?"
Angelo looks as shellshocked as it can for a giant eye. It appears to be thinking as it floats next to Six.
"My counterpart mentioned to me once that there are things I would never understand because I am not human. He's right because I never got the chance to live that other side of the world. I want the chance to live grow old and die. To feel things, I wouldn't be able to here. I wish to be human."
The eyes turn Angelo into a human in a flash of light. Light keeps emitting from his form. He looks exactly like Mono except for the eyes. They are black as the space around them with white irises.
"You can leave with the girl when you're ready to Ereb."
Six is surprised they'd let her go back.
The main Eye sighs, "Admittedly without Mono's and your "participation" Ahime wouldn't have been distracted long enough for us to intervene and exile him. We consider this against our rule to do so but in your case we consider this a reward. However, once you pass into our realm again, that's it. We'll be watching as we always do."
The Eyes disappear into darkness and Six turns back to the open portal of Mono shaking Six for her to wake up. Ereb holds her back.
"Not yet, I figure there's at most some questions you have and at least someone to talk to."
Angelo creates a small table with three chairs. Angelo takes a seat before looking at his hand.
"Admittedly I'm going to miss this power when we go back. Enough about me though. I want you to scour your mind Six. If you have anything you want to ask me it's best to do it now. There are some things i told Mono not inherently true to be honest."
Six holds her head in her hands for a few seconds.
"What happens to Cinca? Who were those Eyes? What's the meaning of life? And..."
Six begins to wonder about two other things that she hadn't thought about in a very long time.
"How did Mono go back in time if a Cycle set in stone was made? And why did the time travel affect me?"
Ereb frowns, "Well for Cinca... nothing special. She goes to her afterlife. It will not be an enjoyable or cruel time for her. She will exist and that's it. Not everyone sees the same afterlife. For Mono it's white shores and a far green country under a warm sun. For Cinca it's a lonely arid desert where she will wander forever."
Looking around him Ereb says, "Most of the Eyes you saw were the culmination of children whose powers were awakened. Those are the current children in the world who've 'awakened' in a sense. The main ten have existed far longer than any other in the world. Some say they represent elemental creatures in the living world. Others say they were the first people who walked the living. And few say they were the only to witness the creator in their glory while some say they were part of the creator before they disappeared."
With a wry smile, "The meaning of life? There's no incorrect or completely correct answer to that. Just that it's subjective to the person. I'm pretty sure I know your meaning of life."
Six blushed after he said that. Ereb frowned again.
"Now for the tougher ones. Mono's time travel stunt was a little surprising for us too but it's what gave me hope things could be different. I've seen that memory play many times in my head and the only i can figure is this. Mono had somehow managed to begin a Cycle of his own using the TV in front of him. His motivation being to save himself and you. That however made no sense for even I didn't put that thought into his head. If we're going by the first Cycle Mono shouldn't have had that thought and we wouldn't be having this conversation now. Somehow a glitch in the Cycle enabled Mono to have that thought and change everything. As if some otherworldly human or creature decided to play their cards. The Eyes and I observed every dormant and awakened Eye and we've realized something. No power is the same every child that will 'awaken' will have different uses but can be similar in nature. You have the power of the Soul and Shadow. Mono has the power Flesh and Time only his comes in the form of the Signal or Static or even electricity. Kai appears to have Nullification and Wind. In fact Kai and Charon are good examples of similar powers. Anyway Time Travel has another cost though requiring flesh to do it. So what I can gather is when Mono was being sucked into the floor of the Tower he actually used the flesh in the Tower unknowingly only focusing on escape. Beginning his cycle when he woke up on the night of your rescue."
Ereb tapped his fingers on the table letting Six process this information.
"And then there's you and why you remember. Originally you weren't going to remember. Originally Mono would've just rescued the younger version of you and that's that. We predicted that your younger self would've left him behind in the Pale City sometime between the school and hospital. With you believing that Mono was actually insane for setting fire to the building you both were still inside. We predicted Mono would've lost without a partner by his side. So this is the first time I intervened. Through subtle use I borrowed Mono's power to transmit your adventures in the Pale City to the MAW in hopes you would see it. I was partially harping on your regrets in hopes you would see the TV and get close. After you touched the screen I bound yours and Mono's souls together. In truth I believe I'm partially the reason you two became inseparable in love."
"I... I think I understand. So you're the reason we fell in love."
"NO! NO! NO! Not at all that part came naturally to you two. I just gave it a little push."
Angelo brings up the possibilty of seeing Raine again.
Six considers it before saying
"No. She's had her rest for a very long time I won't bother her now. For now I need to go back to person who needs me more than her. She is at peace here and there's no need to bother her now."
Ereb asks if she's sure and she looks up to the surface.
"I'm sure. Besides I'll be back here someday with a lot more to tell her."
The table fades away and Six and Ereb look towards the portal. Six swims for it first with Ereb following behind.
Six enters the portal with Ereb looking back one last time.
An Elysium Eye with red eye look at Ereb and he nods at it. It blinks back at him before fading away with one last sigh Ereb enters the portal.
Mono, Six, Kai, and Angelo
A hand grasps Mono and he looks down at her. Six's eyes slowly blink open as she looks around. Kai is looking down on her with happiness, but it pales in comparison to the look on Mono's face. He still hasn't stopped crying but the tears falling from his face are not of sadness but joy. Six feels a similar smile form on her face as well. Her face contorting into a face of joy as well.
Slowly she sits up before looking into Mono's eyes.
Mono starts, "I..."
He quickly gets interrupted as Six pulls him in for a deep kiss. Kai looks away giving the two sometime to themselves. He hears them deepening their kiss and he can't help but sigh. Not by annoyance but relief. He's happy for them at the very least and very glad things did not go the way they did with an unfortunate end. Mono and Six separate both of them crying tears of joy.
Mono says, "Words cannot describe how happy I am to see you back."
"Then let me say this. We did it!"
The words rang in their heads with the happy realization that they won the battle. Mono looked around the floor to see the spot where M.E.L. originally lay.
"What's wrong?"
"But at what cost? We got out relatively unscathed with a victory but what about those that didn't deserve death? What about those who didn't need to be sacrificed?"
Six answers, "It will be up to us to remember those who gave themselves for what they fought for. We who stand victorious at the end of it all. We will make this place to be better to honor them."
Kai moves to join the two of them when a blinding light begins in the middle of the room. The same sound of tearing paper fills the room and a much larger being enters the room out of nowhere. A blinding light shines from the center of the room.
"Don't be alarmed Mono it's me Angelo."
"I thought your name wasn't Angelo."
Six answers, "No their name is Ereb."
The light starts to disappear revealing more of Ereb's body. His face is visible and Mono is a little shocked to see a reflection of himself as Ereb's face looks just like him.
"In the Afterlife I was known as Ereb. I am no longer of the Afterlife so now I go by Angelo." Angelo smiles at Mono's shock. "Are you really so surprised? All other Eyes of Elysium chose not to help you but the one who did was your guardian Eye all along."
Kai also realizes something about Angelo as the light fades away.
Angelo isn't wearing clothes.
Kai screams out, "PUT SOME CLOTHES ON DUDE!"
Six sees that Angelo is an exact copy of Mono. Starting from his head looking down before Mono quickly covers her eyes.
"NOPE!"
Tugging the cloak off of his body he tosses it at Angelo who only looks down where it landed. Tentatively Angelo reaches down before swaying and falling onto the floor. Kai and Mono move to help him before Angelo's muffled voice is heard.
"Don't worry this is just a new experience for me." Angelo's body trembles as he struggles to move his limbs. Slowly he struggles to lift himself off the floor grabbing the cloth from the floor. Angelo once again stops as he feels the coarse fabric in his hands. He just feels it as he rubs his face into the cloth smelling it. Angelo pauses as he feels air enter his lungs and leave it. The weight holding him down is overwhelming. Every twitch in his fingers as the move is exhilarating. His heart beating is momentous. He looks at the cloth again before wrapping it around his waist. He lets go of the cloth only for it to fall on the floor.
Kai sighs, "No no you're doing it wrong let me."
Kai cringes as he sinks down to his knee to get to tie the knot. With annoyance he looks over to Mono.
"Why aren't you doing this?"
"Do you not see me holding Six's eyes shut?"
Six is constantly diving and moving around Mono ever moving blinding hand trying to get a peek.
"Come on Mono it's not like I haven't seen it before."
Kai finally finishes tying the knot as Angelo tugs it a few times. With that completed Angelo clears his throat.
"While it is wonderful that you have won the battle unfortunately we have a much larger problem. Kai remembered the Void's words of death and Kai went to the right point. When the flesh receded from the MAW's walls it started pulling the exterior walls and water has started pouring in. We need to get out of here."
Six speaks up, "What!? But everything we worked for. Our dream was to live on the MAW after everything we did."
Mono says, "I know Six but the Void has hijacked that dream. As sweet as your dream was I get the feeling that the children here would always have that feeling of dread. Not everyone I feel like would want to stay here. I relished the thought of growing here too Six. Living our lives together but that doesn't have to be here. We can find that dream elsewhere."
A reluctant Six looks up into Mono's eyes, "…Alright, during my time as the Lady I've had to communicate with ships. If the Void wanted their supply of meat they couldn't have destroyed the radio. Luckily I know where it is and it's not far."
The four of them walk back to the broken elevator shaft where Six uses her powers to slowly float them down to the floor they need. Going down to the lowest floor of the quarters they reenter the storage room filled with mannequins and the ash of a burnt painting. Kai shivers as he looks around the room while Angelo squints his eyes trying to see better in the dark.
"What's wrong Kai?"
"I know we stopped Cinca but it feels weird being in here as if something will pop out of the darkness."
"This is also very different to me."
"Didn't you assume a human form whenever you talked to me?" Mono asked.
"Yes but speaking through a spectral conjuration is a lot more different than experiencing it firsthand. We can talk about my new experiences later we need to get off this ship ASAP!"
The group approached another door in which Mono gave Six a boost to grab the handle. With a jerk and a twist the door pops open. They dash inside to see the radio equipment still looking fine.
Six starts, "Ok so the best option we have is to hope the ship the Guests came in isn't too far away. Mono I need you to tune the radio with your static. Kai and Angelo I need you to listen for the receiver make sure the signal's clear. I'll do the talking."
They immediately move into action with Six at the mic, Kai at the dial, Mono using the antennae, and Angelo listening in. It takes a few attempts before a voice can be heard.
Six begins, "Mayday mayday this the MAW does anyone copy?"
"Pos- 10-9 Plea- -ond"
Six motions for Kai and Mono to try fiddling with the equipment again. She tries again.
"Mayday this is the MAW, we have an emergency!"
"Read you loud and clear, this the captain of the Rail. What's your emergency?"
"The MAW is taking on water. It is unclear how much time we have but we have survivors on the ship that need transport."
"Your voice sounds different than the Lady's where is she?"
Six pauses before speaking, "The Lady's dead, she fell down from the balcony in the Guest Area."
"Then I assume I am talking to her slayer."
Six's blood ran cold for a second before the captain spoke again, "Good, Ol Charon told me about the Cycle and what it usually happened. Besides she was a cruel piece of work anyway. Current ETA from the MAW is an hour. Will that be enough time?"
"Roger it's plenty of time before the ship sinks we'll see you at the top of the MAW in one hour."
"Roger signing off."
The radio clicks off and they sigh with relief. Mono speaks up first.
"We should gather the other children first. I think Six and I should go down there."
"Actually, Mono I have a different idea. Kai and Angelo can you go down there and inform the children of what's going on?"
The two of them nod before heading back down to the elevator. Mono turns to Six.
"So what'd you have in mind?" He's quickly silenced as Six launches herself at him in a very big hug. One that Mono returns with intensity. He feels Six sobbing as he rubs her back to calm her down.
"I'm sorry, it's just while I was on the other side I thought I'd never you again"
"Shh, it's ok Six. It's over now and we don't have to worry about being separated for a very long time."
The two hold that hug for a few seconds before only holding hands.
"I love you."
Six smiles because that's true. "I love you too."
Mono and Six walk down to another elevator. This one being the one that leads up to the top of the MAW. The two of them walk down the hallway. Six remembers the first time she walked down this hall. Imbued with power all those years ago after the Tower teased her and she ate Cinca. She almost experienced an eternity of isolation just a few minutes ago again. But with Mono holding her hand it only cemented the fact that it would never happen again. Or if it did it would not be for a long time. The two of them climbed up the stairs as the door automatically opened up. Sunlight bathing them with golden light. Six took the first steps guiding Mono to faux beach that was top of the MAW.
The two of them sat down watching the sun begin to set as they also kept an eye out for the ship. Six looks over to Mono as she places her head on his right shoulder.
"So the MAW was a bust what do you think we should do now?"
"Well in the little time that we had, I did think of something. The Port City was relatively empty save for a few Citizens. Why don't we go back there and set up our home. We already had a home there. We could probably give each of the kid's their own living space."
Six hummed before looking out in the distance. The sound of a ship's horn signaling their approach. At the same time Mono turned his head to see Kai and Angelo leading a crowd of kids. Kai spoke first.
"It took some convincing but I'm pretty sure that the oncoming water made them realize it was either join or live. Glad to see the boat's here early."
Mono nodded before facing the crowd. "I APOLOGIZE FOR THE UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LEAD US HERE BUT WE PROMISE YOU WE ONLY HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS FOR ALL OF OUR SURVIVAL. WHEN THE SHIP ARRIVES GET ON IN A CALM MANNER AND LISTEN TO THE CREW AS THEY LISTEN TO THE FOUR OF US AS WELL. THIS WILL ALL BE BEHIND US SOON."
The crowd murmured and while there were some uncertainties the majority agreed. The ship sailed parallel to the shoreline. A long plank landed onto the shoreline with Mono, Six, Kai, and Angelo gesturing the crowd upwards. Slowly but surely the crowd thinned from the shoreline and into the ship.
Kai assisted Angelo as he almost fell into the ocean below. Mono jokingly made a motion for Six to go up first before him. There was a slight tremor underneath Mono as he walked up but he disregarded as the waves below. With Mono finally making his up to the deck the plank was withdrawn. The four of them were stopped by the stalwart captain as his crew guided the rest of the children to the floor below.
"I know this is very unexpected to the crew and most likely the children so I imagine this to be a tense situation. Where would you like my ship to take you?"
They all looked at Mono expectantly, "Take us back to the Port City you first collected the Guests from."
"Aye, the MAW moved a bit so it'll take a couple of days time. In the meantime would you like me to show you to your temporary living arrangements."
Angelo spoke up, "Actually I would like to watch the waves for just a little bit longer. Being contained in a dark environment is rather dull. It's been while since I've seen the sunset."
The captain said, "Ah I do love the sunset on the sea as well. Very well I shall find you all later on."
The four of them walked onto the bow of the ship. All of them watching as the sun dipped further and further into the horizon below. To the everyday man it was the end of another day. But to the four who worked to survive and to win it was the end of a battle and the beginning of a new age. All of them had big dreams and now? They had all the time in the world to do it.
As the moonlit sky poured over them one last thought occurred to Kai and he said.
"So, we narrowly escaped death quite a few times there on the MAW. You two probably more than I have in your lives. I don't know where 'Angelo' came from but I have a good feeling. I'm curious... what's death like? Is it painful? What happens after?"
Angelo stays silent before saying, "I don't if I can answer this right because I don't know if that will happen to me."
Mono speaks up, "Well Kai I suppose it depends on how you die. It can be painful or peaceful."
80 years later
The scene transitions to a point in the future. An elderly woman is seen sleeping in bed. She's not alone in the room as the others weep. They're all inside a hut of some kind. At the foot of the bed sleeps a six-legged boar with gray hairs on its chin. There's a picture on the mantle of the fireplace. It depicts a great warrior riding on a steed fighting an unknown horror. The people around the woman each have their hand on her reassuring her. There's a man with a peg leg and a saber at his side. He stands by the woman's bed on her right and all he says is.
"It's ok go see him again soon and give my regards to him, old friend."
He steps back holding hands with another woman who is constantly wiping both her eyes and bloody nose.
To the woman's left stands a younger woman. She's much younger than anyone else in the room. Her hair is salt and pepper color. Her eyes both blue and red in their respective sides. She sits by the woman in bed her hand clasped.
"We'll be ok Mom. Go see Dad please tell him I'm sorry. I love you."
In the sleeping woman's other hand holds a faded golden ring with a silver gem in the center.
At the doorway stands other people. A portly man who can't stop sobbing as he turns and leaves the hut not able to bear the sadness around him. The other is an older man his face is shrouded and his one good arm is occupied by a dove. The dove flies above the older woman's bed. And almost like a signal the sleeping woman's breath slows down and just stops.
Then we cut back to Mono explaining, "Then you enter a world that makes no sense with only one path left to take. You rise, you fall, you float, and you sink. The air and ocean pull back the illusion."
80 years later.
Six is seen back in that ocean she's twenty years old again. She looks behind her again seeing the portal she entered from slowly close. She cries knowing she's left that life behind. But smiles knowing that the world she left will do fine with her daughter showing them the way. She looks around her seeing the other Elysium Eyes welcoming her. She nods back before allowing forces beyond her own pushing her up. She allows them wanting to rest now fighting spirit no longer within her.
"The grey rain curtain of this world pulls back, and all turns to silver glass."
Mono sighs contently, "And then you see it."
Kai confused asks, "See what?"
Six answers, "In some ways it depends on the life you lived but for Mono and most likely you and me. We will see..."
80 years later
Six's head pops up above the waves. She looks out in the distance and sees.
White Shores and that green country.
Invigorated she swims the waves below her helping her get closer and closer. The shores getting closer and Six soon sees a lone figure waiting on the shore for her. The sight motivating her as she swims faster and faster. To the point that she feels the ground beneath her and she starts running.
She doesn't stop running her arms outstretched as she leaps into him. A culmination of joyful tears pours from both of their faces. They laugh and cry after being reunited for so long. Neither of them speak, knowing what the other is thinking as they stand there. They hear someone approaching and they turn their heads to see they aren't alone.
People stand on the shoreline with them but Six can recognize each of them. The Toy Maker waves kindly before turning to look at the ocean. The Ship brothers also wave back before turning to the forest past the shores. The Girl in the Yellow Raincoat gives a small smile as she leans against a tree leading further within the forest. Mono and Six watch them as they look onto the shore.
"One day our friends will join us here. They will be free from their burdens of life, and we will see them again. One day our daughter will be here, and I hope it isn't too soon."
Mono turns around holding out a hand to her and Six is reminded if the day he freed her all those years ago.
Present Day
"It is a beautiful world you will never want to leave. It is a journey you can live out your afterlife without threat and I can definitely say..."
Mono pulls Six in close her head resting on his shoulder.
Six finishes for him, "That your life here in this world is never..."
80 years later
Six takes Mono's hand and the two of them disappear into the forest.
Present Day
Mono and Six say, "...The End."

Thank you to those who created such maniacal intricate monsters:
Pup : The Monster. They had so many wonderful ideas but the one that stood out to me the most was The Monster. So much to the point that it became a key point to the story rather than being a random mook. If you ever read this thank you Pup!
B.E.A.T.N.: Jabali the Boar: The lovable animal companion was introduced by B.E.A.T.N. I originally had this concept of a farm where Jabali was a hostage to this psychopathic farmer. It was scrapped because I believed the conflict between The Monster and Mono would have been better to introduce Jabali. B.E.A.T.N. has my respect for being a fellow fanfic writer like me who assisted me with writing the story. Mad respect! (Fun fact: Jabali just means Wild Boar in Spanish)
DarkFluffy98: The Shades: I hadn't mentioned it before but while most of the MAW's monsters we're my design the Shades belonged to another. DarkFluffy showed me an illustration of this shadowy creature and it clicked. Make the shadow children into Shades. They're the ones to thank for that soooo Thanks once again!
Angel_Bee_Blue: The Butcher and Barksy: Reintroduced from their own Monix story. I believed this to be a great addition to the story. Thank you Angel_Bee_Blue I hope you're doing great.
Shadow Phantom: The Eels: Because we needed underwater threats as well. Making two different appearances in the story. The Revenant Town Sewers and as the Granny's pets. Very Well Done!
LeafeonLover: The Manager: It was probably not the way you wanted it integrated into the story but I felt it appropriate to add it the way I did. I still loved your creation nonetheless! And I felt it also a good way to introduce Kai!
Thanks to MasterLeahSakurai for the art I commissioned her for!
I was very happy with how the art she did came out to be. To honor her work design in a way I named RK Kai because that's how they named her. Thanks Leah, hope you're doing swell!
A special thank you to burntpaws and TheKahootOfEverything
I doubt either of them/you will ever see or read this but I wanted to thank you especially for the Monix content you have created. You have inspired me greatly.
A very special thank you to B.E.A.T.N and gaara king of the sand
I thank the both of you for collaborating on this with me. This story wouldn't have been properly made without you.
Most importantly, of course, thank you Tarsier Studios and Bandai Namco for creating Little Nightmares in the first place.
I'd been wanting to write fanfiction for a while but I could never find the right topic or setting for creation. Then Little Nightmares 2 came and that ending. When I first saw that ending I was so petty that I decided to change it. Or at the very least rewrite it. And what started as a means to vent my petty thoughts and creative ideas turned out to be one of the most popular fanfics on both AO3 and . TOP TEN LET'S GOOOOOO!
Of course, that's all thanks to all of you wonderful readers! Once again thanks to all of you!
So when's the sequel?
Erm… I don't know. One of the reasons this story started declining on chapter uploads was because I was starting to get bored of the fandom in general. No offense, of course, the fandom is wonderful I love most of the other stories I've read. Honestly think some of them write much better than I do. I do promise a sequel, that's for certain but it will be some time before it's released.
I do also want to work on another couple ideas I've had in mind. One being a DMC x Elden Ring Crossover along with a parody involving In Space with Markiplier with LN characters for fun.
On that note I will most likely cancel my other projects like "Those Heartless Once Cared Too Much." Alternatively, I could put those stories up for adoption. If you're interested let me know. In the meantime, I might start writing my own fiction novel. Until then I'll see you—OW!
*Checks back of arm*
I think something just bit-
*Falls onto the floor unconscious*
Ugh, I was getting tired of this dullard's brown nosing. Yes surprise surprise I'm still alive. Kai and Mono's little energy blast only managed to get rid of one of my legs. My plans shattered, I'm robbed of most of my power, and I'm exiled from my home. You're all probably thinking I'm powerless, or if I have any power it pales in comparison to what your powerpuff trio can do. You may be right loath as I am to admit it. But if I ever learned anything from that irritating paper bag wearing moron. It's that motivation is a good driving force. One day, I'll have my revenge and one day they will suffer.
All of them.
I'll be watching, as I always do~
