Chapter

The World Will Know

Elphaba lied on the ground, still barley moving, barley conscious. She could hear the people around her congratulating Fiyero and the guard that had shot her. She propped herself up on her right arm and looked to her chest. The wound was already closing, the magic coursing through her veins automatically doing so. They thought a simple bullet wound would stop her, bring her down. How wrong they were. She let out a roar of anger as she jumped to her feet- ignoring any leftover pain.

The guards in the room faced her, alarm in their eyes they reached for the pistols in their holsters. Elphaba carelessly shot out a hand, the pistols melted in their hands or still in their holsters, the people who had been holding them screamed in pain, dropping to their knees as the flesh was charred and trapped under the burning metal.

Now the dark begins to rise…

Fiyero looked up slowly, his brain working in slow motion as his friends fell beside him. Elphaba stood before them, standing like the reaper, the angel of Death itself. Her hair fell around her face, darkening her appearance. Her hat was on the floor as the swung her arms wildly around causing guards to fall, some ablaze; some twitching in agony, most of them crawled towards her begging her to stop their suffering- which she just laughed off in a mad cackle as she watched them writhe in pain. He was aware the Wizard had fled long ago.

Leave the lost and dead behind… now's your chance to run for cover!

Fiyero stood, ignoring what his mind was screaming to him.

Escape while you can, live. Then lead a battalion to her before she can leave. In all the chaos he didn't even notice he wasn't injured, he just remembered his will to avenge his parents. Fiyero drew the elaborately designed pistol from his belt and bellowed to her,

"Face me without your magic and we'll see what you have!" He hissed. Elphaba's eyes flashed as the last of the guards fell around her. She distinguished the flame in her hand and drew herself up to her full height, making her even more intimidating then she was already have. "Then put away the gun." She said calmly.

Glinda ran through the halls, picking her dress up to avoid dragging on the floor. 'Where had Fiyero gone?' She thought with a sigh. She approached the Wizard's chamber… something wasn't right. The hall was filled with the stench of… metal? And most definitely what she could only identify as blood. She burst through the doors only to find Elphaba and Fiyero glaring at each other, if looks could kill… well, they'd both be dead right now.

"What in Oz are you two doing?" She screeched, only then did she remember this Elphaba was not the one she remembered. They both whipped around to her, their hateful gazes now on her. Elphaba summoned her broom and took it in both hands, raising it and slamming it into the ground. It was still for a second then Glinda was hurled through the air and into a wall behind her.

Fiyero looked back to Elphaba, "How dare you do that… to my fiancé!" Elphaba recoiled from the use of that word… It wasn't fair… NO! She pushed down the thoughts, letting her anger and jealousy take over.

She raised her hand, making a claw. An orb of magic formed, raging in colors bursts of energy spiraled out of it from Elphaba's emotions.

Guards flooded the doorway and around the room, the Wizard and Madame Morrible stood behind them, out of Elphaba's reach. She snarled because she knew she was outnumbered one to 15 including the latter, but she muttered a spell under her breath changing the purpose of the magic she was now channeling in her hands.

"It's over for you, Dearie." Morrible said bluntly.

"It's not over till I say it is!" Elphaba retaliated.

Glinda got up injured, the Force insisted on taking her back to safety but she strictly refused, whilst still looking Elphaba in the eyes. She walked to the center of the floor, even though all the Gale Force had their guns pointed in that direction. Maybe that's why she did that.

"This isn't you, Elphie." She said calmly even though her heart beat in her chest so hard she was afraid it would burst through any second. Elphaba cackled mirthlessly and hollowly.

"Oh but My Sweet, it is. You never really knew me… even back in Shiz, we knew for each other for what… Not even a year? But if you had come with me it might be different… maybe they wouldn't be dead, maybe you could've stopped this!" She hissed gesturing to the bodies behind her.

Glinda flinched. Elphaba was trying to make her feel this way… She wasn't actually responsible for their deaths, she was trying to guilt her, get her to break down in front of everyone.

"No, you did this all yourself so don't you dare come and blame me for what you've done." Glinda took a step closer, her eyes blazing. "You killed innocent men who were just trying to do their jobs- and look!" Glinda walked to one body, Elphaba was shocked for a moment. "There was a woman! It was her first day, she was the first girl to ever make it into the Force! She reminded me of you, or what you used to be- Elphaba Thropp! She was so determined to show everyone she could do it as well as any other man. And now you've killed her!" Glinda was now screaming.

Elphaba faltered for a moment. "ENOUGH!" She bellowed. The room silenced and Glinda receded back behind the guards, the Wizard signaled for them to shoot.. It was time, things were getting out of hand. 12 bullets were shot at the same time, all towards Elphaba. But none made it to her. Elphaba released the magic she had been building over the conversation, the green flash filled the room and there was a moan of pain just behind Glinda.

Fiyero was curled on the ground, all the bullets hovered over him for a moment before impaling his body, the first wound came to his leg turning the emerald uniform a nasty red, slowly the rest entered him. He wasn't even aware of the screams of agony coming from him, too blinded by the pain.

Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever die,
Take the fall and run to Heaven.

The last thing Fiyero remembered was Glinda screaming behind him a sob stuck in her throat, as the guards had to drag her away as another bewitched bullet pierced his body, stripping the last of his conscious soul from him till he laid there, bleeding out till the cold marble floor turned crimson.

Fall!

No, I don't know if this will have a happy ending. Thoughts on that?
