Okay guys. This is it, Part 1 of the End. This may not how you guys want it to end, but it's all I got. I just hope I can do this right and I really hope you guys like this. Okay, let's get to it!

P.S.- if you guys have read my other stories, you know that I'm shitty at action sequences. If you haven't, now you know.

None of these franchises belong to me at all. Belong to respective owners.

Whispers in the Black Ch.12

Bella's POV:

As the armored trucks drove along the desolate road to the city of Phoenix, the passengers in the first were unusually silent. Bella looked to the others before saying "Look guys. This is probably going to sound gushy, but I just want to say thanks. For everything."

Deadshot smirked and said "Well, we kind of had to. Waller didn't exactly take the bombs out of our necks."

Harley interrupted "I thought it was fun! We got to mess with pale people, rip them apart, or blow them up!"

They heard a confused Flag asked "When did we blow them up?"

Harley slowly looked away and said casually "Nowhere. It doesn't matter! What matters is that we get to have even more fun before we're locked up again!"

Bella chuckled before her smile was replaced by a scowl. Reading her expression, Croc asked "What do you want to do about Ken Doll?"

Bella answered without looking to them "He dies here. Today. I don't care what his reasons were. I don't care if he did it so I could get a cotton pony. He screwed me and he will die today and he will die painfully."

After she said that, Bella leaned against Diablo and in return, he ran his hand across her back smoothly. Boomerang looked up from his arsenal and said "Greene will probably be in the center of those creatures. Should be simple getting to her. We're practically a small army."

Suddenly, pain bloomed in Bella's head as the infection rebelled against her. In the other truck, Reese experienced the same pain. Diablo caught her before she could fall to the floor and asked with concern in his voice "What's wrong, Bella? What's going on?"

Through the pain, Bella answered "She's trying to stop us. Unless we join her, Elizabeth is going to continue to throw some kind of psychic attacks at us. It's Blacklight. It connects us like a hive mind. Reese and I aren't going to be much help right now."

Deadshot helped Bella back into her seat and said "We've done plenty of damage on our own before, you know?"

Suddenly, Flag shouted "Brace yourselves!", just as the truck got flipped onto it's back after getting hit by something. Croc kicked open the door and one by one, all of the Squad had crawled out of the smoking truck. Flag pulled his M4 out and explained "A Brute hit us. I didn't see it in time to turn. It just rammed the truck."

Suddenly, a flood of Infected came out of nowhere, running towards them! Deadshot and Rick immediately opened fire, dropping bodies left and right. Bella struggled a little bit, but when a Brawler tried to attack, she grabbed it and sliced it's head off, the heavy Blade stained with dark blood. Croc roared his fury and started to maul any Infected that got close, leaving most in pieces. Harley sprang from one target to the next, giving them either a bullet to the head or a giant strike from her bat. Bella crumpled down in pain as another wave echoed across her body. Behind her, a Brute staggered over, readying a fatal blow.

Diablo saw it just as he finished a swarm of Infected and started to make his way through the waves of combat, but he wasn't going to make it. The Brute raised it's massive fists over it's head, but before it could kill her, it was swatted like a fly away from Bella by Jane, who kneeled down and helped Bella back up. As Bella tried to recover leaning against a wrecked taxi, Jane and Alec blurred through the swarm, ripping limbs and breaking bones all in a few seconds. Felix and Emmett tag-teamed a Brute, ramming themselves into it's large stomach, causing it to fall over. Before it could get up, Felix stomped into it's head and the body slumped into the ground. Alice and Jasper kept the area around Bella clear, the rest of the members regrouping inside the perimeter. Reese limped over to Bella with Leah's help and shouted over the noise "We need to find her! We can end this now if we hurry!"

Bella nodded, turned to Demetri, and shouted "Demetri, see if you can find Elizabeth!"

He nodded and blurred away, only to return a few seconds later, and reported "She's up there!"

Bella looked to where he was pointing. Chase Tower, the tallest building in Phoenix. Bella rolled her eyes and said "Of course."

Suddenly, Flag shouted "We've got a problem guys. Two big problems!"

The air abruptly was filled with noise as the sky darkened. Thousands of flyers blotted out the sun and descended and the roar of a Goliath echoed down the streets. Leah phased and motioned to Bella and Reese. Alice, getting the message, blurred Bella and her brother onto Leah. Rick got into the surviving truck and the rest of the squad followed his lead, with Deadshot at the wheel and Flag with the minigun in his hands. Jasper looked to Bella and said "We'll get you to the tower. Once we're there, we'll try to hold them back."

Leah took off through the city with Deadshot ignoring Harley begging "Let me drive, Shot! I want to run over some people too!" all the way, struggling to catch up, the Cullens and Volturi blocking any attempt to stop them. Diablo punched out the window of the truck and shot out pillars of flame at the Infected while Flag was ripping into them with thousands of bullets, clearing the path. Behind them, the Goliath charged after them, it's shield crumpling anything in it's way and launching them forward. Jane and Felix peeled off from the group, jumped onto the beast, and delivered a team-uppercut that sent it staggering in slight pain. Leah stopped before they reached the tower and Bella saw why. What had to be thousands of Infected were in the way, completely barricading the streets, crawling on the buildings, and slicing through the air. She heard Flag preparing the minigun behind her. Bella ignored another wave of pain and tried to focus. Reaching out, she tried to bring back the feeling that overcame her in Forks. She felt the minds of the Infected, all connected to Greene. As she roamed, Bella found a weak link. One that Greene wasn't completely dominant in. A doorway. Seizing the opportunity, Bella took control of it's mind and used the link to take the others. Outside of her mind, several Infected clutched their heads in pain as their new Queen took control. When she was done, Brawlers, Brutes, even Hydras roared in defiance as they started attacking their brethren.

At that moment, a earsplitting shriek was heard from the tower as Greene felt the disconnection. Behind them, the Goliath finally revealed itself from behind a building and roared in answer. Reese dismounted from Leah and sprinted towards the beast. The Goliath threw it's sickle-like claw at him, only for him to leap onto it and race up it's arm. Flag turned to it and started to shoot the Goliath with the minigun, trying to keep the bullets on target as it moved closer. As Reese continued to scale the Goliath, a new wave of pain hit! Shifting his arm into his Blade, Reese sunk it into the skin before he slid off. Struggling to keep his grip, he spotted a hole in the flesh. Shifting his arm into his Whipfist, Reese swung himself towards it and managed to grab hold! Using his Claws, he ripped the flesh off until there was a big enough opening and climbed inside.

Bella watched her brother disappear before crushing another Infected's head with her Hammerfists. Before another swarm could overwhelm them, Bella pounded her Hammerfists into the ground, spikes springing from the ground and impaling them. Hearing the Goliath roar, Bella turned to see it raising it's hands above itself. Bella readied herself to leap onto it, but before she could move, it suddenly crumpled to the ground, roaring in pain. Inside, Reese was ripping through it. His Blade sliced through the flesh like a knife through butter. Seeing his target, Reese blurred to the spinal cord and examined it. It was too tough for his Blade to cut. Suddenly he got an idea. He started ripping holes into the Goliath and attaching Tendrils to buildings. Blurring back to the spinal column, he blurred upwards, attaching Tendrils along the way. Jumping out of the hole, he threw his Whipfist into the bone. Seeing his plan, Bella started attaching her Tendrils to buildings before sticking them into the Goliath. The Goliath struggled to break it's bonds, but Bella threw her Whipfist into it's body. The Goliath let out a roar of pure pain as it's spine started to rip through it's back. Soon, the bone was being ripped from it's place. Unable to move, the Goliath smashed it's shield into a building, releasing some of the strain. Not going to let it go, Bella and Reese raced up along it's body before separating. Before it could react, Reese delivered a massive blow to the back of it's head. Slumping from the blow, the Goliath struggled to rise. Bella, hundreds of feet above it, shifted her arm into her Blade, and felt gravity pull her into a freefall.

The Blade pierced it's skull, tendrils forming from the metal and ripping into the flesh beneath. The Goliath's final roar shook the ground beneath it, all of the life fading from it and into Bella. Bella climbed to her feet and looked to the tower. Hundreds of feet away and above her, Elizabeth Greene barely contained her anger. Edward simply stood to the side, where he would stay until Bella came for him. Below them, Bella was ripping through the Infected that stood between her and the tower. Boomerangs flew through the air, blowing giant holes in the swarm or slicing them in half. Deadshot simply strolled calmly through them, bullet shells littering the ground behind him. They weren't exactly sure where Harley was. Diablo cleared the path with giant swaths of flame, Infected giving out cries of agony as they were caught in the fire. K.C. ripped into all of them, using his claws, feet, even other Infected to brutalize them all. Flag stepped out of the truck and dropped Infected left and right. Jane used her fists instead of her gift, leaving any who approached her bloody mess. Alec stayed behind, his gift spreading across the field, both stealing sight and smell and giving Bella camouflage. Felix was tag teaming with Demetri, taking down Brutes and Hydras alike. Leah had to stay back with the Cullens since her main offence was her teeth and couldn't risk contamination with Blacklight.

They eventually made it to the tower... and Harley was waiting. Her bat was caked in blood along with her clothes and she asked "What took you guys so long?"

Bella rolled her eyes, but smiled at the blonde's antics. Shifting her hands, Bella punched the doors open with her Hammerfists. Jasper walked up and said "We'll keep any reinforcements off your back. Jane said that Alec and the other two would stay with us while she went with you. Leah should go with Carlisle and Esme."

Bella asked "Why are they leaving?"

Rosalie answered "Don't know, maybe it has something to do with Edward. All we know is that they only wanted to help you get this far. After that, they'd leave."

Bella sighed "Should've expected that."

Leah whined about being separated from her friend again, but her wolf recognized the danger. Bella noticed how she looked to Reese sadly. Walking over to her brother, Bella said "You should go with Leah."

Reese looked at her as if she grew a second head "No. You need me here. Besides, I owe that bitch some payback."

Bella shook her head "Leah needs you. I can take care of myself."

Her brother scoffed and replied "Yeah, like you did last time."

Bella turned him towards her and said "Look. I basically have an army with me. I would feel better if you and Leah were watching each other's backs. You're her imprint, she needs you."

Reese looked to Leah briefly before taking in a breath "Fine. Just come back. I think I need to get to know my baby sister."

With that, he walked to the small group, but before taking off, he took one last look at Bella. Seeing her nod, Reese sprinted off with Leah and the two Cullens right behind him. Flag came up behind her and said "The elevators are out, though I would still take the stairs if they working."

Harley cheered "Yippee!" before jumping on Bella and shouted "Onward and upward my noble steed!"

Bella rolled her eyes, but couldn't bring herself to push Dollface off. Instead, she started the journey up the stairs with the others close behind her.

15 minutes later, they reached the top floor with a huffing and puffing Croc carrying Boomerang who'd collapsed on the 12th floor.

Greene's voice echoed "Well, here we are. Bella, I admire your decision to try and save your brother. Are you here to surrender?"

Bella, anger dripping from her voice "No chance blondie. You're not leaving in one piece."

Elizabeth's voice mocked her "Oh, I'm shaking in my boots. Alex Mercer couldn't kill me. You, you are an infant compared to me."

Deadshot sighed impatiently and said "How about you stop being a little bitch, come out where we can see you, and stand still while I airmail some bullets to you?"

Greene scoffed "This is a private manner. Why don't I let my lackey entertain you while I speak to Bella alone?"

Suddenly, a Whipfist came out of the shadows and threw Bella to a far building, followed by Greene. A door on the far side of the room opened to reveal... Edward with at least 10 Brawlers and 2 Brutes following him. He directed his glare at Diablo and said "Take care of the others. I've got garbage to take out."

Croc murmured "Cheesy Bond villain line."

Edward charged, but stopped when Diablo sent a billow of flame at him. Glaring at the pyro, Edward's face was illuminated by lightning... and when it was gone, he was too.

Meanwhile, Greene walked towards the recovering Bella with a smirk on her face. Her voice filled the air "Edward is currently playing your friends, just so you know. The silly boy thinks I'll give you to him once you do, but I think you know his real purpose."

Bella looked up before saying "He's a bribe."

Greene shook her head before saying "Not a bribe, an offer. Join me, I'll let you kill him. What have you got to lose? What have the humans ever done for you? They attacked you, imprisoned you, and are now using you as the giant stick if talking doesn't work."

Bella crawled to her feet, looked to the woman, and growled "You killed my parents twice, used me to destroy my home, and are planning to use me to spread Blacklight. What have you ever done for me?"

Elizabeth chuckled before replying "I gave you power. I gave you purpose. I want to give you a new family, a better one."

Bella replied "I already got one."

Greene rolled her eyes and said "You surely can't mean those criminals? That just proves my claim. Humanity has gone so low to employ criminals! Besides, do you think they see you the same way? What if Lawton had to choose between you or his daughter, what if Harley had to choose between her "Pudding" or you? What if Mr. Santana could choose between saving you or having his family back? I guarantee you that they would never choose you."

Bella replied "And I wouldn't want them to. I would always tell them to choose the other person."

Greene's eyes flashed red "Foolish." before charging the young Evolved.

Diablo's POV:

Diablo wiped the blood from his face before turning back to his opponent. Edward simply smirked before blurring and punching him again. His annoying voice said "I don't know why Bella chose you. You can't even defend yourself, how could you defend her?"

Diablo shot out his flames and was rewarded by a slight yelp. Diablo asked "Why would she choose a boy like you who won't put up a real fight?"

Edward reappeared and growled "She's mine. Maybe if you swear to never think about her again, you could keep your head."

Diablo smirked before mocking "She doesn't want you, Ken Doll. Not after what you did. All she wants is your head mounted to a wall. Just give up."

Edward blurred and uppercutted him into the next room. Diablo spat out the blood, shook his head, and thought "I warned him."

Ember-like orbs appeared in his eyes and soon, his flesh burned away and he gritted his teeth in pain as needle like pricks registered in his mind before dulling. His tribal form rose from the floor to face Edward, who's eyes reflected his fear.

Bella's POV:

Bella groaned in pain when Greene delivered a kick to her crouched form. Elizabeth had taken everything Bella dished out and barely broke a sweat. Greene lifted the brunette off of the ground and slammed her back down on her bent knee. Letting go, she watched as Bella struggled to get up before saying "How could I think you were worthy? I gave you everything. Your chance at revenge, a new life, and you've wasted it to protect the humans. Such a waste. Alex would've served me better, if Heller hadn't killed him."

Greene raised the Blade over Bella's head, despite the brunette's struggles to get up. Elizabeth smirked, but it was wiped off of her face when one of her Brawlers slammed into her! Greene pushed it away to see the swirling mass of Bioflesh around it's midsection! Her eyes widened before it exploded and tendrils went everywhere, grabbing pieces of wall, generators, everything and slamming it into her, causing a massive explosion!

Bella coughed up blood before a pair of boots entered her vision. Looking up, she saw her savior. James Heller, wearing his custom black and red leather jacket, looked down at her before extending his open hand to her. Taking his hand, Bella pulled herself to her feet. She asked "What are you doing here?"

Heller shrugged "Felt like it. Need to let off some steam and keep that bitch from ever getting close to Maya."

Bella chuckled before saying "Thanks."

When they heard the bending of metal, they turned to see Greene stroll through the flames of the explosion, her torn and burnt flesh already pulling itself back together. Bella asked "What exactly are we gonna do with her?"

Heller replied "In my experience, just slash and smash until they die."

Bella put her hands on her hips before huffing out "Good plan."
