G'day Casters, and welcome back to DCP! As planned, this will be the final chapter. Well, main chapter at least. A surprise will be waiting at the end of this! Let's get this done with.
Enjoy!
Chapter 30: Infected Shopping
Night Fury Chris's POV:
I woke up to the sound of yelling and killing and infected. I looked around and saw Rebecca fighting off a group of infected by herself. She had taken down two infected already, but was getting surrounded with six more. I knew that none of us would be able to fight that, not even her unfortunately. I transformed and blasted a few of them away just as she killed another one. She glared back at me. Another infected was about to bite her but I blasted it. She turned back and ripped two infected in halves. There was just torn apart bodies of infected left now. "You're welcome," I said. "Hey, fuck you. I had it under control," she retorted. "You're angry, I know, but even in rage mode you can't go on like that. None of us can. We need to work together in this fucked up world," I said, trying to stay as calm as I could. "I'm a fucking shape shifter, I can become the most fearsome creatures the galaxy has ever known," she said, still raging. "Yeah, but how are they going to do against say, five hundred infected? All I'm saying is we have to stay together if we are to survive," I told her. She did not calm down though. She transformed into a Bewilderbeast, one of the biggest dragons known to man, and ran off, causing destruction in her path. "Ugh, god damnit. Stop being so bloody stubborn," I said to myself and woke the others.
"So, let me get this straight. Mum is somewhere out there turning the local area into mashed potatoes, in the middle of the apocalypse. Even as a Bewilderbeast, she will not last that long with infected dragons joining the fray," said Oscar. "Exactly, so we need to get after her and stop her rampage before she gets injured or killed," I said. "Well let's fucking go!" Said Tey. I transformed and most of the others got in the Marauder. We followed the path of destruction and found the trail change. To fire. We saw a massive creature up ahead which was also on fire. It looked kinda like a giant rancor, with huge spikes coming out of its back, a massive spiked tail, fire breath, eyes made of fire, huge sharp teeth, and about the size of a twenty story high building. "Oh for fucks sake, now she's making her own creatures? A fucking Godzilla-like creature on fire? How the bloody hell has she grown her skills to do that?" I wondered out loud. I sent a plasma blast near her head. She looked back at us with her fiery eyes. "Now why the fuck would you do that?" Yelled Josiah, as she charged at us, breathing fire. "Rebecca! You need to calm down! This is going over the top right now," I yelled at her. Didn't stop her. "I am sorry for this," I sent a plasma blast at her. It hit her in the shoulder. She evidently felt it, but kept coming at us. I blasted again and again, hitting every part of her torso. Finally, I sent a blast at her head and she stumbled. She fell over and her fire went out, slowly transforming back to human form. I landed next to her and transformed. "Becca," I put my hand on her arm. "Fuck off," she groaned quietly. "Becca, please don't do this. Don't shut us out. We are here to help," I said. She looked up at me, her eyes still on fire. I looked into her fiery eyes. She stared back, and slowly the fire went out. "It's okay, we will help you," I said gently. I could see tears and she was crying. I held her close and comforted her. "Shh, calm down, we will avenge what happened," I said. "I will kill the next people we meet, and not quickly, it will be slow, painful. They will not get away from that. They'll be needing new guts after I'm done. Actually, they might need a new everything," she said, the rage coming back to her voice. I let her go and helped her up. "And we will be right here, the entire time," I said, smiling. I knew there was no point in arguing anymore. She had made up her mind, and we would go with it. We got back in the car and drove into town.
It was dangerous in town though. Because that's where all the infected were. We got to the shops to pick up some supplies. Rebecca, Sarah, Savara, Oscar and I took care of the infected surrounding the area. We split up in groups to search each shop. I was with Rebecca and Savara. We went into IGA, and found that it had not been looted yet. And all the food and drinks were still fresh. "This shop could probably last a few months, maybe a year or so if we don't eat it too fast," I said. "Maybe we should just hold out here?" Suggested Savara. "We could. But what about a mall?" Suggested Rebecca. "Well, Sunshine Plaza sounds good to me. Or there is Morayfield Shopping Centre," I said. "What about a mall in Florida?" Asked Rebecca. "The only problem with that is we won't be able to get the car through the cave. And it's a long drive from here," I said. "That is true. Alright, Sunshine Plaza I guess is the next best thing," she said, sounding a bit disappointed. We gathered up as much as we could get, and met with the others. We were about to leave when we heard a sound. I looked behind me and was immediately hoping Rebecca hadn't heard it. There was a small group of six people behind us. But with a closer look, I realised it was Dragoncast Productions without their dragons. "Guys! Good to see some familiar faces," said Hiccup. Rebecca certainly heard that. She turned around and saw them. I thought for a second she was going to go crazy again but she held it together. "Hey! We were just going to head to the Sunshine Plaza as a place to hold out," I said. "Sounds good," said Astrid. We got in the car, DCP got on the roof and held on.
After about half an hour of driving through hordes of infected, we finally arrived in Maroochydore. We quickly found the Plaza. Before we went in however, we checked a building right across the road. Not too far away was a WIN Network building, but there was a Hot 91.1 Mix FM radio Station building in town and that was the building we went in. "Any survivors in here?" Asked Felix. "Not that I can smell, just infected," I said. "Well, let's see what's in here then stop delaying and go in the plaza," said Peter, though he sounded nervous. We agreed and split up again. I went with Savara again, but Rebecca went off by herself somewhere. "Sav," I said. She looked back to me. "Yeah?" "That moment with Lyla last night didn't go unnoticed," I said. She looked down at the floor. "I don't know what I did that for," she said. "Hey, don't worry. While it was wrong, I'm not mad at you. This is the apocalypse, so I'm going easy on ya, and after what happened. But you do know it was wrong, right?" I asked. "Yes, I know. I just, lost control over myself. I don't know why, but it just happened," she said, still looking down at the ground. I went over to her and grabbed her arm gently. "Let's just put it behind us and do what we came to do. Just hope your mum doesn't find out about that, I don't know how that would end," I said. She nodded and we continued to search the building.
After finding nothing, we met back up with the group and went across the road and into the busy plaza. But that's what confused us. It wasn't busy. There were no infected in sight. And, to make it even more strange, the doors and windows and any other entrances had been barricaded so they wouldn't get in. "Looks like someone had the same idea," said Harry. "Looks like it. keep an eye out for trouble," I said. We managed to reach EB Games before we found anyone. When we arrived at the familiar gaming store, once the biggest gaming store in Australia, but now just a place where infected can play games. I actually laughed at that thought. We saw a group of people in the store, playing some games. They saw us. "What the fuck are you bitches doing here?" Asked one of them, probably the leader. "Taking this place for ourselves. Now would you kindly put down our games and leave," I said, knowing they wouldn't. "In your dreams mother fucker," They all pulled out guns. Our group split in half and Rebecca was seen behind us. She walked down the aisle we had made. Her hair turned into fire, she grew spikes out of her back, her eyes became red and demonic, she grew large fangs and claws, which looked very sharp. They started shooting her but her skin seemed to be armoured, because the bullets didn't do anything to her. She grabbed the guy closest to her and held him tight. She used her claws and, very slowly, stabbed both his eyes. He screamed in pain. She then put some massive cuts on his cheeks, cut his nose completely off, cut both his ears off. He was screaming at the top of his lungs the entire time. She went to the rest of his body, trailing her claw down his torso, leaving a huge cut as it went. She stabbed his groin and I could see he was starting to pass out. She then started to slowly push her claw through his chest. It went through his heart, still at an agonizing pace. Pretty much everyone else in our group had looked away by now. Finally, after putting a hole straight through his heart, she slit his throat and he was dead. She had pretty much tortured him in very gruesome ways, and she didn't look like she was going to stop. She screamed, a high pitch demonic scream. We all covered our ears. She then went on and did very similar things to the rest of the group. And if they tried to escape, we would beat them up a bit and throw them back into the shop. Soon, the shop was covered in blood and filled with dead bodies, which all had some gruesome cuts on them. (A/N great. Maybe not a good thing to be writing when I already feel sick. Now I feel even more sick. Thanks Rebecca for suggesting doing this… Oh and btw up until now she has been on the page watching me write it, and suggesting a lot of this. Now she's gone to bed.) "Well, we may have to do a bit of cleaning before we can play games," I laughed. "Sorry," said Rebecca, transforming back to being a proper human, not a devil. (A/N And now I might go. Finish this tomorrow. G'day!) "It's alright, but I think these guys might need the bathroom after that," I said, looking at the sick faces of the group. Rebecca and I laughed. "Yes please, where would they be?" Asked Josiah, sounding like he would throw up there. And he probably would if we kept sticking around the shop. They followed me outside, onto the boardwalk. I showed them where the restrooms were and went back to help Rebecca clean up the shop.
After that was done, we all went up stairs to the Coffee Club to have some lunch. Unfortunately, because there were no staff, we had to make our own. I made my usual, a lime thickshake and a ham, cheese, and tomato toastie. We had our lunch and got to work on making sure the rather large building was secure.
After securing the building, we split up and did our own things. Rebecca, Lyla, and Felix went to QBD (a bookstore), Savara, Oscar, and I went back to EB Games, Josiah, Tey, Peter, and Will went off somewhere, I don't actually know where, while Sarah, Harry, Nala, and DCP went to the National Geographics shop on the boardwalk next to the river.
Mr. Star's POV:
I went around the plaza for a while, then went back to EB Games where Chris and his kids were playing Super Smash Brothers on the Wii U. Such an old game, why does EB still have that stuff? This is not 2015, this is 2039! "Why are you guys playing such an old game on such an old system?" I asked. "Because we found it, and these guys wanted to see some, what are now called retro games. The ones that we grew up with," said Chris. "Well, give me a remote. I will show you how it's done," I said. Chris passed me an old Wii remote and nunchuck and I connected into the game. Chris chose Link, Savara chose Zelda, Oscar chose Ganondorf, and I decided to break the LoZ grouping and choose Dark Pit. "We almost had a full lobby of Zelda characters. Damn you Starwars," said Chris. Whenever we were gaming, he would still automatically go back to calling me Starwars. "Bitch," I said, laughing. "You're fucked Josiah," said Savara. I was still getting used to the kids swearing. We started the match on Skyloft. Of course Chris would chose a Zelda stage too. As soon as the match started, I went after Chris. "Get back here Link," I said. I probably shouldn't have said that. Chris jumped back and surprise attacked me, which resulted in him sending me flying. "Shit." Savara was dueling Oscar, when Chris came in and sent Oscar flying. "Fuck, you're good at this dad," he said. (A/N I actually haven't played Smash Bros irl, just the N64 version on an emulator on the PC.) "Suckers!" He was good, but Savara seemed better. She had quite a big duel with him, while Oscar and I pretty much just sat back and watched. In the end, she sent Chris flying off the map. "Damnit," he said. "Now who's a boss at this game?" Teased Savara. In the end, Savara was the winner with Chris being the last one alive besides her. Oscar was first out and I was second. "GG guys, GG," said Chris. "Yes, very good game indeed," said Savara, laughing. "Bastard," I murmured. "Heard that Star," she said. "Oh so now you're using my old nickname." They laughed. "Well why the heck not mate," said Chris. We were interrupted by a loud bang. "What the fuck was that?" I said, jumping in surprise. "Don't know, but it didn't sound good," said Chris. We went outside on the boardwalk and met up with the rest of the crew, except those who were in QBD, which was on the other side of the plaza. "You guys know what that bang was?" Chris asked Sarah. "Nope!" Sarah shook her head. We heard something else. We all looked up and saw a small Victory I-class Star Destroyer coming down to Earth. "Um," we all said at the same time. "Not good. They probably sent a team to Earth because the communications had been cut off, and they didn't know about the atmosphere. So now that Star Destroyer is fucked," said Chris. Rebecca, Lyla, and Felix joined us. "So they decided to check out what was going on, and fucked themselves over," said Rebecca, seeing the crashing Victory I-class. "Yep." As we watched, we saw a shuttle come out of the Star Destroyer, fortunately, it was still working. The Star Destroyer crashed in a housing estate nearby. The shuttle landed in a clearing on the other side of the plaza. "Did they know we were here? Or did they just randomly choose this place to check?" I wondered. "Dunno, but we should probably check it out," said Chris. We all went to the car park they had landed in. We saw Ben Skywalker and Vestara Skywalker come out, with some GA soldiers. "About bloody time," said Tey. "What happened?" Asked Vestara. "A clicker escaped, now the Earth is infected," said Rebecca. Suddenly, we heard the roar of a Night Fury. But it didn't sound normal. It sounded sick, infected. We saw the culprit flying over the plaza and straight towards the shuttle. It was followed by an infected Deadly Nadder, Monstrous Nightmare, Gronkle, and a Hideous Zippleback. "Shit!" I yelled. I also saw a bunch of human infected coming at us from behind. The dragons landed in front of us, and ran at us. But I recognised them. "Toothless? Stormfly? Hookfang? Barth? Belch? Meatlug?" DCP looked at the dragons. "Oh no, they're infected," said Hiccup. Fishlegs was about to say something, but Toothless shot at us. A green plasma blast. "Their blasts are infected too, stay away from them!" Said Chris, dodging the shot. We ran to the ship and took off as quickly as possible. But we still had to worry about the dragons. Meatlug shot at us, but instead of lava it was thick acid. The acid hit a wing and burnt straight through it. "Oh fuck! Watch out for Meatlug's acid!" I yelled. Ben put the ship into full speed and we flew as fast as possible towards the atmosphere. Toothless kept up with us, sending the green plasma at us every chance he got "Five. Six, alright, he should be out of shots," said Hiccup. But he shot again. And again. And again. "Infected bastard! He's got unlimited shots!" Said Ben. "Shit! Alright, go as fast as possible and try to dodge everything, I'm going to try to get him to stop following us," said Rebecca. We watched her go to the back and open the door. She transformed into a Deadly Nadder and sent tail spikes at Toothless. He dodged them and tried to shoot Rebecca. Chris and Sarah also transformed, blasting everything they had at Toothless. Savara and Oscar joined in the fight. Savara managed to hit Toothless with her ice blast. This made Toothless pause in mid-air, and that was enough. Rebecca shot her tail spikes at him, and they hit him in the face and wings. Toothless fell back down to Earth, completely lifeless. I heard DCP crying, and I understood why. They had been with these dragons for about 6 or 7 years now. And now, they were gone. Either infected, or dead. But it wasn't over. We came to the atmosphere and started our journey through the thick spores. The engines blew out. We used the momentum we had from the flight and managed to get into space. The ship was pulled into orbit around Earth. "We need to somehow get to Minecast Fleet," said Lyla. "Oh shit, I forgot about Minecast Fleet! I can control that from here," he said. "Oh crap, yeah! You still got it working?" Asked Felix. He put on the HoloLens and tried to start it up. It worked. "Hell yeah! Alright, let's go home guys," he said. "Unlike you, Earth was our home," I said. "Right, yeah. You're gonna need a new place I guess," he said. I saw Minecast Fleet arriving in front of us. The Super Lazuli caught us in a tractor beam, and we locked with it. We got on the warship and led the fleet to Coruscant.
We arrived above Coruscant and went down to the Jedi Temple. "So, Earth has been taken out. We need a new home I guess," said Peter. "You can come live in Narnia, it's actually really nice there," said Savara. "Sav's right, Narnia is an amazing place to live. Not really like Australia, or America, but you get used to it," said Chris. He was saying that because we were all very patriotic about our countries. And I knew he would prefer to live in the outback over a city, but Narnia was neither. I guess he did say 'you get used to it.' "Alright, Narnia sounds good. But it's going to be weird not having Earth," I said. "Yeah, it is. But we will make it. I know we will," I nodded.
3RD Person:
Minecast Productions all moved to Narnia, where they lived a happy life. Dragoncast Productions went back to Berk, where they were forced to have to get new dragons, due to their old dragons never coming back. But after a year or so, they got used to their new friends. And so, everything went well. Aside from small threats, the Casters Network did not need to worry about much until the 22nd century, which was talked about in chapter 22 of this very reality. Between that time period, the biggest things Chris, Sarah, Savara, Oscar, and all the other Dragonborn had to endure, was losing all their non-dragonborn friends. Chris and his kids were heavily affected by the loss of Rebecca, Lyla, and Felix. Almost to the point where they wanted to just leave the living and join their family. But they powered on, and after a few years, learned to deal with the emotional pain. All went well in the Network. And so concludes the end of our story, the lives will be going on in a natural, unscripted form and they will not be forced into battles by me, the author. But, before we go, here is a note the Network has let for you, the readers. 'We hope you have enjoyed reading our adventures and have been with us for our whole journey. We appreciate you taking the time to come with us through the fun times we've had, and also the hard times we've had. So, from the entire Casters Network, 39! (Thank you! XD Japanese ftw)' And so, we will now be leaving them.
Hope you enjoyed that grand finale! I did. And now, for the surprise you've probably been waiting for… *Excessive drumroll… Still going… Still going….. FINALLY!* There will be some bonus 'TARDIS Chapters' coming! These TARDIS chapters will be MCP going through time, to some events. I currently have 3 of these planned. The first one, because I need to set this right, will be the year 2039 on Earth. Yeah, the year that these final three chapters have been based in. Because it's the original MCP, the 2015 version. What they will do, I will leave as a secret. The other chapters will be revealed as we go! So, stay tuned! :D Please R&R everyone! And if you've made it this far, congratulations! You're the best! Now, I gotta go check out the Clipsal 500 V8 Supercar race that's on XD See ya!
