Finally, Chapter 20: the End… and the Beginning.
Nothing left to say… Enjoy.
Chapter Twenty: The End and the Beginning
"And so the game begins."
From their perch above the city, Xadmain and Xoej stood, like they had all those months ago that night when Moxt and Naxan had interrupted them with their bickering.
"We've come a long way, huh?" said Xoej.
"Yes," Xadmain agreed, "We have."
"He's headed for the Forgotten Fortress?"
"Yes. Drexan tells me the girl will be awake soon."
"Who do you want to go?"
"I'm still thinking it over."
"It's not gonna be, right?"
"No."
"Damn. I never have any fun."
Xadmain laughed. Xoej looked up at the sky.
"All those worlds, and we find our destiny here," he said, "Does Dexn know?"
"Not now. He's suspicious, though."
"You will tell him, won't you?"
A pause.
"Xadmain?"
"I will. When the time comes."
Xoej only nodded in agreement. He stood up.
"Well, I'm off to bed," he said, stretching, "See you tomorrow."
"Good night, No. 2. Sweet dreams."
Xoej walked off, then stopped and turned.
"He kicked your ass pretty badly, didn't he?" he said with a grin.
"Good night, Xoej."
Xoej laughed as he warped off to bed.
Xadmain stared up into the night sky. All those worlds… and he was here, at his last one.
How glorious it was.
"Good night, Ned," he said softly, "Until we meet again."
And with one final warp, all was quiet.
TO BE CONTINUED…
IT'S FINISHED, BABY!!!
HELLZ YEAH!!!
(throws a giant party)
…Ahem, yeah.
Well, that's all for now. Thanks to everyone who reviewed this story. This includes:
dark672- for the very first review, I thank you.
Raheem- hey, sorry I never got back to you about the co-writing thing, but I say, if you have an idea, let me hear it, and I'll help in any way I can.
Mi167: You ended the name game, for which I am grateful. Hope you will stay on board for the remainder of the trilogy.
fire spirit: words cannot describe how grateful I am to your constant reviews (however short they may have been). I sincerely thank you, and pray you will stay tuned for more.
EliasDaemonwing: Thank you for being patient with me as this story lifted off from it's slow storyline. I guarantee the next two will be filled with fights and action, so stay tuned.
And last, but in no way is he least:
My main man, SilentDre: You rock, bro! Keep up your fic! See you Tuesday in school!
I thank also any reader who read this and left no review. At least you took the time to read it.
Stay tuned for the sequel, The New Organization: Minds Warfare
Follow Ned through the Forgotten Fortress as he looks for his friends, and a plot inside the Organization may lead to the ruin of all.
Coming out probably some time early February/March.
Thanks again, everyone!
Leave any final reviews you may have, and maybe suggestions for next time!
PEACE OUT!!!
