TW: BLOOD, MILD TORTURE

Alright, guys. Last chapter! Please enjoy~ :)

Every time she got to the end of a hallway, a red light appeared in the next. The AI was leading her to the center of the compound… Which was just what she needed. Either it was oblivious to their plan or this was a trap… But it was too late to change her mind. She'd just have to make do.

"AM I NOT BEAUTIFUL, LITTLE SHADOW?"

Sombra walked around the room slowly, taking in everything that was set out before her. It was… creepy. White sheets, draped across bulky computers, kept the dust off the delicate machinery. She pulled one off and a cloud of dust settled around the room. The technology did indeed appear to be 10 years old, a sharp contrast to the brand-new security system.

"Oh, please don't tell me you're running on Windows '66…"

"…YES."
She groaned dramatically. "Good God… It's a wonder you're still running. Windows '76 is much better. It's cleaner and easier to use. It must be a pain for you to have to clean up your files so often."

She didn't wait for an answer before going on, "You know… I could upgrade it for you. It would be pretty easy; in fact, I have everything I would need here, on this flash drive."

She produced the storage device, seemingly from mid-air, and turned it around in her fingers. "It will take some time, of course, but it will be well worth it." The AI seemed to be thinking about her offer.

"Or… you can just live like this. I don't care. I'm not sure whether you can get inside my head with such and old operating system, though…"

"ALRIGHT. BE QUICK."

Sombra grinned and sat down at one of the computers. She searched and found the location of the memory banks and walked over to its hardware. She reached her hand out and touched it; purple glowing lines shot out of her arm and spread across the outside of the console.

"WHAT… WHAT ARE YOU…"

Sombra cackled.

"THE DRIVE… IT WAS EMPTY!" The realization made it growl… or the closest sound it could make. It was rather… terrifying.

She shrugged. "Who's the trickster now?"

"I WILL GET WHAT I WANT!"

A red light traveled from the base of the machine toward her arm, overtaking the purple. Sombra gasped and tried to wrench her hand away, but it was stuck. The red started to travel up her arm, and her breathing became panicked. She pulled harder and harder on her arm until she heard a pop and cried out in pain; she had dislocated it.

The red surrounded her and she felt her body become stiff. She tried to move, but she couldn't. Her vision began to blur and fade away, and she felt her consciousness start to slip away.

No! She had to fight it! She concentrated as hard as she could. Maybe if she moved her arm, the one that was dislocated… Nope. It wouldn't budge. She felt herself fall farther and farther down… her vision become spotty and tinted red…
Suddenly, her thoughts converged with Seokga's. Its emotions felt… cold. Twisted. Nothing like the omnics she had hacked before. This was different. Horrible.

She saw its memories; how it broke free from the humans. How it killed all those doctors. The one who was conducting the tests died last. She saw as each bolt of electricity shook his body. She saw as his eyes glazed over and she heard his screams; they seemed to rumble through her body.

She tried to cry out, she tried to break free, but she couldn't so much as budge. Her eyes were dry.

Sombra continued her tour through the AI's memories. She saw the many years of solitude it went through, and she felt lonely. So lonely. And cold.

They got closer to the present and she saw as it possessed the omnic guards. She felt as her consciousness seemed to divide itself between them, and she felt weary and dizzy.

Suddenly, she saw Hana in the interrogation room. Her eyes were defiant and she refused to speak, except to make rude remarks. She felt Seokga's anger, but somewhere deep inside Sombra welled up with pride.

Hana leaned her head back to laugh, but one of the possessed omnics punched her in the face. Hana gasped and froze for a second, but she turned and spat her blood onto the ground. It hit her again. And again. And again…

No! Hana! She had to save her! Sombra struggled and fought against Seokga's hold until she found her voice again. "I WON'T LET YOU HURT HER!"

"WHA… HOW DID YOU…"

"NO NO NO NONONONO!" She let out a wordless scream and she felt the pain of her nails digging into her palms.

"I will come back. I promise."

Suddenly, the memories shifted from Seokga's to her own. She saw Hana's smile, she heard her laugh. She remembered how she tasted; she felt the smoothness of her skin… She saw their legs entangled and she heard Hana's raspy breath in the dead of night. She felt the warmth of her body pressed against hers.

"I will come back. I promise."

Tears started to well up in her eyes and she could see again, as if they washed away the darkness.

"I will come back. I promise."

Sombra tumbled to the ground, and she looked around in confusion. What did she just do?

"NO ONE HAS EVER BEAT ME. NO ONE WILL EVER BEAT ME. NO ONE -"

Sombra's lips curled into a snarl. "Oh, shut up." She grabbed for her gun and fired it, over and over again, all over the room. She ripped cables out of the wall and hacked the memory program. She channeled all her anger and energy into destroying every last piece of hardware and software that she possibly could.

When she looked back at her handiwork, she saw the wreckage and hesitantly touched it with her working hand. A soft purple glow lit up the room. She reached out with her mind and felt… nothing.

Seokga was gone.

Clutching her arm, she hobbled out of the room. It took her several minutes to find it, but when she arrived at Hana's room, she collapsed on the ground next to her.

For a few moments, they laid next to each other in silence. Hana cleared her throat and said weakly, "I guess… I didn't keep my promise after all."
Sombra sat up slowly, making sure not to put any weight on her injured arm. "No, Hana. I just had to help you."

Hana smiled and sat up next to her. She reached a hand out to stroke her cheek, and then leaned forward to press her lips against Sombra's.

They sat there, hardly moving, for at least a full minute before breaking away. Hana stood up and helped pull Sombra up as well. "Let's go home."

"I will come back. I promise."

Sombra grinned and took her hand. Leaning on each other for support, they headed out the door.

Phew! Guys, I really can't believe it's done. Thanks so much for supporting my story, love you all!
