The final test of Rorschach in this chapter of A Rorschach Test.
Rorschach became only inches away, when he came to a door that read 'Test 4' on it. Kicks the door in and finds a man strapped to a chair, surrounded by barbed wire. The man is revealed to be Ozymandias. "Veidt." Rorschach mutters.
"Oh, thank god!" Ozymandias sighs, "You have to get me out of here!" The three enter the room. The door slams shut behind them. Nite Owl tries to open it.
"It's locked!" Nite Owl informs.
"This is your final test, Rorschach." informs a voice from a speaker on the wall, "The man that sits before you is Adrian Veidt. You are aware that he murdered Edward Blake, also know as the Comedian. You also aware that he slaughtered have of New York. Many innocent lives where lost. On the other hand, it brought the end to a great war that may have destroyed the world as we know it. It appeared there was no other way to end it, but to fool the world to believe an alien invasion was coming. But that doesn't mean Veidt shouldn't be punished"
"It was for the greater good!" Ozymandias reminds.
"And now, his live hangs in your hands." the voice informs, "To free him, you must give up your own live. Let the timer run out, and he will be set free. But the cure to the toxic chemical in your body will not be be rewarded. To gain your freedom and cure, you must take his live. The barbed wire that surrounds his body is the source to your freedom. The wire must constrict his body, cutting deep into his flesh. Blood will flow from the wounds and flow into the drains below his chair. A gallon of blood must fill the container that rests on a scale below the drain. With the amount has been met, the door to your freedom will be unlocked and the cure will be waiting, along with the answers to your questions. In order to start the machine, you must pull the switch on the wall." A light shines on the wall where the switch lies. "When you do so, a large electric current will be sent through your body." the voice explains, "If you hold on to the switch longer than ten seconds at a time, your live may be ended. When you release the switch, the machine will stop. You must hold on until the right amount of blood is shed. Before you begin, I will return you mask." A light shines down on a small table. Rorschach's mask lays flat on it. "I'm sure this would be a good time to present it to you." the voice informs. Rorschach walks over and picks up his mask. He stares straight at the black blot the changes its shape.
"My face." Rorschach whispers to himself. He removes his hat and slides the mask over his head, then places that hat back on. "Daniel, cover Laure's eyes." Rorschach orders.
"Are you sure about this, Rorschach?" Nite Owl questions.
"RORSCHACH, PLEASE DON'T!" Ozymandias begs.
"Live or die." the voice states, "The choice is yours." A timer appears on the wall, showing two minutes. Rorschach walks over to the switch. He turns his head to Nite Owl. Nite Owl nods and holds Silk Spectre's head to his chest.
"Rorschach, please!" Ozymandias begs again. Rorschach grabs the switch and pulls it down.
"HH-HHHU-UUUUU-UURRR-RR-R!" Rorschach roars, as a current races through his body. The barbed wire starts to constict Ozymandias' body.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Ozymandias screams in pain, as the wire starts to cut through his skin. Blood starts to flow. Rorschach holds on as long as he can, then releases the switch. He shakes hard when he hits the ground. Blood leaks from Ozymandias into the drain, filling a little of the container. Rorschach looks at the timer, which read one minute and forty-three seconds. He stumbles back to the switch. "Rorschach!" Ozymandias yells, "There has to be other way!"
"I would... n-n-never w-waste my live saving you, V-V-Veidt!" Rorschach growls, "You d-d-d-did this to yourself!" Rorschach pulls the switch. "EE-EEEEE-EE-HH-H-HHH!" he roars again. The wire constricts Ozymandias' body again, cutting even deeper. Silk Spectre squeezes Nite Owl tight.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Ozymandias screams again. Even more blood starts to flow. The blood spills into the drain and starts to fill the container faster. Rorschach holds on a little longer this time. But he soon lets go of the switch again. The timer read one minute and ten seconds.
"Is it over?" Silk Spectre questions in fear.
"Not yet." Nite Owl answers.
"RORSCHACH!" Ozymandias cries out. Rorschach grabs the switch again, then slams it down.
"H-HH-HHHHR-RRRR-RR-RR!" Rorschach roars once more. The wire constricts again. The timer read thirty-four seconds left.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Ozymandias screams once more. The blood rushes through the drain and into the container, which was almost filled. Silk Spectre decides to peek at the event. But as she did, a wire that squeezed Ozymandais' chest sides up and slices through his neck. His head falls to the ground, and blood sprays Silk Spectre from Veidt's neck.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Silk Spectre screams in shock. Rorschach lets go of the switch. The container becomes fully filled with blood, stopping the timer at twelve seconds. Rorschach manages to get to his feet, and picks up Veidt's head.
"Goodbye, Adrian." Rorschach states. He drops the head to the floor, then looks at Nite Owl and Silk Spectre. Nite Owl was trying to calm Silk Spectre down. A door opens in the room. Rorschach turns towards the door. "Come on." he orders. Nite Owl and Silk Spectre follow as they enter the room the door lead to. They stop when they see an elderly man who was taking a breathe from an oxygen tank.
"Hello, Rorschach." the man greets.
"You?" Nite Owl questions, "Are you kidding me? Is this a joke? It can't be you! You couldn't have done this whole thing alone!"
"I never claimed I did, Daniel." the man replies, then takes another breathe from his oxygen tank.
"Then who's involved?" Rorschach demands to know.
"First, I want you to answer my questions." the man answers.
