Chapter 10: 14-9-7-8-20-13-1-18-5: Part 1
As I stared at the stage selection screen, I couldn't help but start to feel as though something negative inside of me was gone after seeing Cuttlefish return to normal. I actually felt somewhat happy, but I was still somewhat afraid and scared of what the rest of the levels had to offer along with the fact that I was worried when Genocide 3 was going to show up.
I should also mention, that at this point, I began to hear noises in the background during the stage selection screen, sounding like whispers of something along with gurgled cries and moans. The whispers were too quiet for me to hear at the time, so I simply ignored it as I was about to enter the fourth stage, which looked to be a different and corrupted version of Urchin Underpass known as "VSDIJO VOEDSQBTT". I knew what those letters were now after looking at them for a while. It simply spelled out "URCHIN UNDERPASS" in all capital letters, except every letter was one letter forward. But the corrupted title wasn't what made me afraid.
What made me afraid, was what the map of the corrupted Urchin Underpass looked like. And once the static was gone, I was treated to something that made my blood run cold.
A labyrinth-themed level.
I should've seen this coming, seeing as though the original map was like a maze itself. But this was an entirely different feeling of fear that I had with the game having been corrupted, and compared to the rest of the levels, it was possibly the most nerve-wrecking out of all of them.
The ambiance sounded like the droning sound similar to the third stage, except that it sounded more eerie and ambient as if you were lost in space, and couldn't find your way back home. The ambiance's droning would increase its pitch gradually the point after it seemed as though it would get too high, it would abruptly return back to the same pitch as before. Which already gave this level the unsettling and atmospheric factor as I began moving Marie around, seeing that she was alone again with Cuttlefish nowhere to be seen. I must have assumed, that she had taken him to where the lobby area was, since that was probably a safe haven that Genocide 3 couldn't get into.
Anyways, back to the stage. As previously mentioned, this stage was a labyrinth with debris and fire being the main hazard along with the maze itself having lots of grates being present so I couldn't turn Marie into a Squid, seeing that there was a black liquid underneath the grates which would instantly kill Marie.
Going through this level, I began to feel afraid, and constantly turned to look behind Marie with the camera to see if anything was going to chase after her. I knew this level was going to be one of the tougher stages to go through, since when I got to the center of the stage, I heard something that made my blood run cold. The sound of a chainsaw revving up.
My heart began to race, as I could hear the sound getting closer along with the sounds of footsteps, and I began to move Marie as fast as I could through the level. The ambiance changed into something that sounded as if you were being chased by a serial killer, and the killer was in the closest proximity imaginable. Which was what I could only describe the music, because after a few seconds of running away, I noticed an icon on the map showing something glitching out. And sure enough, when I arrived to a long corridor with two paths at the end, I turned the camera to look behind Marie and screamed in horror at what I saw that was chasing me down.
A headless version of the Epsilon character that I used yesterday, now wielding a roller sporting saw blades on them similar to how Genocide 3 used his "roller" on Epsilon when I tried to kill that bastard and save Emily from him. I also noticed, that his body was melting, leaving a trail of black liquid behind him as well as his clothes being completely tattered and ripped like Callie's as I began moving Marie through the maze, sweat rolling down my forehead. I could only imagine what it would've been like to being chased down by Epsilon during one of my hallucinations, which is why I am completely grateful that I didn't experience him face to face, and instead ingame.
Unlike the other monsters, who moved at the same speed as Marie when chasing her down, Epsilon moved at a horrifyingly fast speed, much faster than Marie. I was panicking, and I immediately decided to shoot a Splat Charger shot at the hallucination chasing me down, and to my surprise, the shot actually managed to stun the hallucination as it dropped the roller on the ground and clutched its wound. What followed soon after, made me pause the game, and vomit in disgust upon seeing it.
The navel of Epsilon that was exposed began to let out a gurgling sound as a black hole with rotten teeth of some kind soon appeared on it. Following that, it soon let out a human-like scream, spurting out a black liquid of some kind along with black-covered gore and teeth from it as I felt the need to puke from seeing that alone. I barely managed to avoid vomiting on my Gamepad from the imagery, seeing orange-yellow chunks of bile and half-digested food on the floor as I vomited even more from looking at the overwhelming disgust within me. I could feel my stomach churning as I looked at the menu, seeing that I couldn't select the option to exit the level, and only the "Continue" option was available. I got ready to run, and unpaused the game as I didn't waste a millisecond and began running away from Epsilon, whom I heard revving up his chainsaw and began chasing after Marie again as I heard his footsteps behind Marie.
I turned around and shot another Splat Charger shot at him. I didn't want to be disgusted again, so I immediately turned Marie around and made her run as I heard the same scream from before. I soon realized, that I had to refuel my ink container, so I immediately decided to shoot another splatter of ink. What a horrible mistake I made.
As soon as the ink landed on the ground, it disappeared as if it didn't even paint the ground as if it just vanished completely. I did not want to waste any more ink after seeing this, and just continued moving Marie through the maze. I only had one Splat Charger shot left as I wasted my third shot, and then I would be dead meat if I didn't find the exit after that and have Epsilon splat Marie and kill me in the process since I would share the pain with her.
I could hear the sound of the saw blades again, and sure enough, I looked at the icon of the map and saw that Epsilon was just a few corridors behind me. So I readied another Splat Charger, and as soon as he appeared, I shot him in the chest cavity as he fell backwards. And to my surprise, I saw that his roller fell right onto his body after shooting him as I heard Epsilon let out a spine-chilling scream of pain as his ink splattered the walls around him. His body didn't even melt or get splatted, as I just stared at his motionless body. I chose not to go over to him, and instead ran straight to where the exit was after navigating the maze and dealing with Epsilon.
I thought I would've just entered through the gate, and finish the stage. I was mistaken.
The gates closed in front of Marie, as I heard growling sounds behind her. I was shaking, and cautiously, I turned the camera around to see Epsilon's hallucination, still alive even after having taken serious damages from his roller. He was walking weakly toward me, as his belly button leaked out black liquid and let out gurgling sounds. I was on the verge of vomiting again, until I saw Marie just calmly stare at the hallucination as another cutscene played out.
"...Epsilon..." The Squid Sister muttered quietly, as the hallucination just stopped in its tracks and stopped making those noises. I began to shake even more in fear as I saw Marie slowly walk toward the headless octoling, and screamed through the microphone: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, EMILY? HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU!" Emily just looked at the camera with a neutral expression, and responded to me with a half-smile. "Don't worry, Sam. Just watch this..." She turned to look at the octoling again, and began talking to it with me watching everything play out.
"Epsilon, do you remember when you saved me from Genocide 3?" She smiled at the hallucination as it began making gurgling sounds again with black liquid coming out of its orifice. It falls to the ground, and begins writhing and screaming in pain as white sparkles start coming out of the hallucination.
"And do you remember when you persuaded Sam to help you? You're more than just an octoling. You're a friend to him, Epsilon. Me and him don't want to see you like this..." The hallucination suddenly screams loudly, and I closed my eyes to block out the pain. It should've been so loud to the point, that one of my neighbors should've heard it from my house and called the police. Thankfully, they didn't. I saw that Epsilon's model turned completely white like with what happened when Cuttlefish became normal again after beating the third stage, and I soon saw something form on the one end of Epsilon's body. A head.
"Epsilon, if you're in there... please, let's just forget all of this, alright?" She kneels down to the hallucination, and hugs it like she did with Cuttlefish. And soon enough, the light covering Epsilon's model soon vanishes, and I was incredibly happy and relieved after seeing Epsilon having returned to normal as well like Cuttlefish did and I continued watching the cutscene. He soon lets out a gasp, and begins choking as Marie lets go of him as she helps him up to his feet.
"Where am I!? Where's that bastard that killed me!?" Epsilon frantically looks around, until he spots Marie standing in front of him and the location he's in.
"Well, hello there, pretty girl! What are we doing in a rundown and decrepit place like this?" The octoling smirks at Marie, and attempts to impress her by taking out his roller that's missing, much to Marie chuckling at him.
"Heh, sorry, Epsilon. But I do believe, that I'm already taken by someone whom tried to help you stop Genocide 3 before you were splatted." Marie smirks back to Epsilon, who just sighs after finding that his roller is gone.
"So that Genocide 3 has caused this, huh? Destroyed Inkopolis City along with this world we all live in?" Epsilons asks Marie, whom responds with a nod as the octoling just wheezes at the sights around him.
"Actually, yeah. We have to stop him, before things get worse! Isn't that right, Sam?" She looks at the camera, as I respond to her through the microphone.
"Yeah! Do you recognize me, Epsilon?" I ask the octoling, and he chuckles as he responds to me while looking at the camera.
"Yep, you were that guy who helped me try to stop Genocide 3 from murdering your girl here. I'm glad, that you at least decided to side with me instead of that bastard, even though he absolutely destroyed me and turned me into a headless corpse running around with a chainsaw for a roller." I actually found myself smiling warmly at Epsilon through the television screen, already having forgiven him for trying to kill both me and Marie as the Squid Sister grabs Epsilon's arm.
"Come, Epsilon. We need to get you to the lobby area where gramps is, it's a safe haven from Genocide 3." The two begin walking toward the gate which has been opened, and the screen soon fades into black as I let out a sigh of relief. The second-to-last stage has been completed.
I was treated back to the stage selection menu, except now I could hear voices in the background, quietly uttering the word: "Bloodshed". Which made me remember when I fought my ingame character with Epsilon, and he uttered the same word as well. I didn't stay for too long on the screen, and I looked at what the next stage was.
It was the Walleye Warehouse map, and what kind of surprised me at first, was how it stood out from the rest of the maps. All of the other levels I've played so far have shown me disturbing and vomit-inducing imagery that looked completely out of place for a children's game, but this was entirely different from the rest. It looked like the original version, but I knew something was off as soon as I selected it, hearing a giggling sound in the background. The giggling sound Callie made when she attacked me and Marie in the corrupted Arowana Mall map.
I knew something was completely off, as my television showed nothing but static for an entire minute after selecting the stage. What was even more off-putting, was the fact that sometimes, I could see Callie's face among the static, having the same grin as Genocide 3 has as I just waited for the map to load. And sure enough, I was treated to the Walleye Warehouse map, looking completely untouched with no signs of decay, abandonment and looked completely clean and pristine like the original map.
"Emily?" I asked the Squid Sister I was controlling, as she turned to look at me.
"Yeah, Sam?"
"This just looks too clean. All of the other levels so far have been terrifying beyond belief, and this just feels too good to be true." I said through the microphone as she turned to look at the level in front of her, and suddenly pointed to something or someone at the center of the map.
"Sam, there's someone here..." I could see her ready her Splat Charger by herself without any input from me as I moved her to where the figure was. I didn't hear any music whatsoever while moving Marie down, which made the big reveal even more unnerving and suspenseful.
I was shaking, not knowing who to expect as I saw Marie shaking as well, looking afraid.
"Are you ready, Emily?" I asked her, as I saw her nod at me. I moved her to where the central area of the map was, and I was completely taken by surprise whom was at the center of the map.
It was Callie. Not the hallucination one, but the real, in-game model of Callie as I saw her looking at Marie with a smile on her.
"Hello, Marie!" She excitedly said as Marie withdrew her charger, looking surprised and shocked as I was as both me and Marie continued staring at Callie.
"Surprised to see me in the Walleye Warehouse out of all the places where both you and I had a part-time job together? I am surprised myself as well on how you managed to get through "those" levels without even dying once..." I could hear her chuckling, as I saw her closing her eyes and opening them to reveal white, glowing eyes that I recognized immediately.
"...Maybe you had the help of "Sam" whom splatted me and turned me into THIS?" Her model flickers between her normal and hallucination form thrice as I heard Callie quietly laughing after she stops flickering between her two forms.
"Callie, it's not who you think it is..." Marie says in an attempt to reason with her cousin, only for Callie to form a frown on her face as she lets out a sigh and looks down.
"Marie, why would you side with the one who splatted me? Don't you realize, that this was part of Sam's fault for causing our world to fall apart?" She half-smiles at Marie, flickering between her hallucination form again as I saw Marie have a sad look on her face while she was staring at her cousin.
"You're completely misunderstood, Callie! The real villain here is Genocide 3, and not Sam! Sam would NEVER hurt you or anyone else, isn't that right!?" I was about to say something, but I could only let out a choking sound as I felt my voice go away.
"Sam!?" She calls for me again, as I try to muster up a word, only for me to gag on the choking as I could hear Callie laughing from the game.
The sound of an electric guitar started playing in the background, as Callie begins talking in a somewhat distorted and glitched voice, and soon enough, I realize that this was going to be a boss battle that I wouldn't be forgetting any time soon.
"This is a conversation between us two, Marie. And we're leaving Sam out of this. Now... do you remember how this world works?" After saying that, I noticed the walls of the map starting to decay and rust as Callie's model began to waver while her eyes were completely white with no pupils on them whatsoever as the sounds of drumset start playing along with the guitar.
"IT'S SPLAT..." The walls rust even more as the sky outside starts fading from its bright colors to the familiar dark red color from the previous maps as I saw Marie slowly start to back away from Callie, who was staring at me and Marie as her model flickers five times until the whole screen goes dark red for a second, and there, standing in front of me and Marie was the hallucination that has almost killed me three times in a row, having a white glowing grin on her face as she finished her sentence.
"OR BE SPLATTED. LET THE TURF WARS BEGIN." The instruments in the background turn the song from building up to one of the most intense songs of the update after she finishes her sentence as I heard Callie let out the same demonic roar she let out when she tried to kill me when I first encountered her at the aquarium's hatchery as the battle begun with her charging straight at me with her claws ready to strike Marie down. This was the second-most difficult boss battle I've fought on Splatoon and even harder than the DJ Octavio fight in Octo Valley, and I should also count myself lucky that I am still writing this after everything that's transpired since it still hurts so much. This battle greatly tested my skills as a Splatoon player as I barely moved Marie out of the way when Callie attempted to swat her claws at Marie. I soon saw a life meter appear on the top of the screen, showing what seemed to be about 20 life bars with her icon showing Genocide 3's grin on it while I saw Marie have about 10 life bars. Every attack I used on Callie would only drain away only half a life bar from Callie while her attacks would drain a whole life bar and greatly give her an advantage. I also noticed a timer on the top left corner of the screen as soon as I began firing Splat Charger shots at her. During the fight, I gained an appreciation for one thing. The timer, which when it hits 0:00 allows you to switch between Marie and Epsilon. I came up with a strategy, that I would constantly switch between the two characters as one began to get dangerously close to being splatted once the timer is up. Even with these two characters, this was an extremely difficult fight, and it might have been impossible without Epsilon who dealt the same amount of damage as Marie by only lowering half of Callie's life bars.
I felt every hit Marie and Epsilon took during the fight with Callie as I felt sharp claws scratching me where Callie would hit either two, and I wanted so badly to pause the game and just shut it off at this point, but I couldn't due to my body having been paralyzed at the time. Needless to say, this paralysis was starting to drive me insane at this point after having suffered through those stages.
When I managed to bring Callie's life bars to about 15, she did something that I didn't see coming.
She let out a distorted and loud laugh as the map began to warp and distort into that of when I fought the Octostomp boss, and sure enough, a mess of glitches soon appeared and the Octostomp soon appeared, letting out the same roar as it began running toward me at a faster pace than the normal boss and attempting to crush my characters while bearing a blood red color on its face instead of a purple color as it splattered the ground below it a red color that I couldn't ink over. Since Epsilon was a roller user, I sadly couldn't use him during the fight, and had to wait for the timer to go out in order to use Marie. Thankfully, I only had to hit its tentacle once in order to resume the real fight, and I was actually relieved to see that upon defeating an Octoweapon boss, I would regain lost health that Callie took away from my characters.
I was back at the Walleye Warehouse map after destroying the Octostomp, and immediately, I saw Callie charging straight at Marie, now holding a roller of some kind with sharp spikes attached to it as she attempted to crush my character with it. But I was quick enough to react, and threw a Splat Bomb at her as it blew right up in her face upon contact, taking out 2 whole life bars as she let out a pained scream. And thankfully, just like a normal inkling, she would slow down when she was walking on either Marie's or Epsilon's ink, allowing me to recharge Marie and Epsilon's ink containers for a few seconds. Since Callie was using a roller now, it would be a better idea to use Epsilon to put the two at equal terms of strength. And sure enough, Epsilon and I managed to bring Callie down to 10 life bars as she began to look somewhat weak at this point.
"I won't go down that easily, Sam..." I heard her laugh again as I was sent to the Octonozzle fight. I will just skip the parts that won't interest you, and get to the important things.
After defeating the Octonozzle, Callie began to use Suction Bombs that would attach to any surface whatsoever, and I had to be careful not to get too close to the bombs as that would drain about two and a half life bars away from what I could remember once they explode when either Epsilon or Marie were close enough.
But then something happened. Callie just stood there, and her eyes started to glow. I was afraid of what would happen, and attempted to fire a Splat Charger shot at her with Marie. But I soon felt a great pain. What should've been Callie, was instead me hitting Marie as I screamed in pain. The pain was driving me furious as I saw that Marie's life bars were drained down to 3 now due to the Splat Charger shot I shot onto herself. Just before Callie could kill Marie, the timer hit zero. I tried so hard to ignore the pain, but couldn't as I just wanted this to end. I immediately sent Epsilon to fight Callie, and I felt a pain as soon as the battle restarted, seeing Callie having slashed her claws at Epsilon as I knew she was going to get serious now with her having only half of her life meter remaining.
I immediately smacked her with Epsilon's roller, and threw a sprinkler at her as I saw her life meter rapidly draining, now only have about 6 life bars left as I ran through the ink Epsilon splattered on the ground, and furiously began hitting Callie with it while trying to flatten her. Now she would feel the pain she had caused me to suffer through.
As we both were reaching the end of our life bars, Callie let out an angry scream as the map distorted into the Octowhirl arena, and sure enough, the corresponding boss appeared, now bearing the same blood red color as the other bosses while its eyes were glowing a red color, and its spikes now being more sharp-looking and covered in several colors of ink.
Taking this boss down was somewhat frustrating, since its ink couldn't be inked over, and it would take a while for the ink to go away in order for me to create a splatter of ink large enough to hit it. And sure enough, after about 6 attempts while trying to ink over the surface and avoiding the Octowhirl, I managed to destroy it as I saw that Epsilon's health was replenished.
"This is it..." I thought to myself, and saw Callie charging straight at Epsilon with her roller ready. I threw another sprinkler at her and hoped that it would be over, but she soon disappeared, followed by the feeling of claws slashing at my back as I let out a scream and saw Callie having readied her claws and stood on top of Epsilon.
"Hey, if you're going to cheat, then why don't you just kill me now!?" I said to her through the microphone as she grinned at me through the television screen.
"Because that would be breaking the rules of the game." She bluntly said, and slashed her claws at Epsilon's face.
"DAMN IT!" I screamed in pain, and immediately made Epsilon swing his roller onto Callie again, and again until she only had 2 life bars left. I could feel my sweat rolling down my forehead as things got intense with Epsilon only have 4 life bars left due to Callie constantly slashing and teleporting around the map. However, two lucky hits from my roller, and Callie only had 1 life bar left. And as I expected, she summoned the last octoweapon boss I had to fight: The Octomaw.
Just before the Octomaw fight started, the timer ran out, and I chose Marie to fight it due to her having splat bombs that I could use against it.
Like the original battle, it came rushing toward me, and I was surprised that it had a new set of teeth once it was ready to devour the Squid Sister. The teeth weren't made of iron, or gold, but instead what looked to be diamond.
Thankfully, it only took a Splat Charger shot in order to destroy one of the teeth, but I would need to destroy more of its teeth in order to leave an opening. I barely managed to avoid its instant kill attack, and things began to get nerve-wrecking.
This cycle repeated for about 6 times until I threw a Splat Bomb into its mouth, and expected it to be destroyed like the original. However, nothing happened as I heard Callie's laugh in the background. I soon noticed, that this whole time, that my special attack gauge for the Bomb Rush attack has been filled up, and once I repeated the same cycle a seventh time, I pressed the right analog joystick, and began constantly tossing Splat Bombs into the Octomaw's mouth, and it was soon filled up with bombs as it was destroyed by the overwhelming amount of bombs, soon followed with Callie letting out a big "NO, NO!" As Marie's life bar was fully restored and I was soon taken back to the Walleye Warehouse map again.
And finally, with one final strike from Marie's Splat Charger, I saw Callie's life bar drop to 0 as she just stood there and fell onto her knees soon afterward as the music stopped. Ink was leaking out of her, as she clutched her chest in pain.
"N-no... I won't... succumb to this..." She muttered quietly, and began slowly crawling toward Marie as I saw that the timer was gone. I just sat and watched what happened next as Marie just stood there and watched her defeated cousin, whom was leaving a trail of black ink behind her.
"Callie, let's please just talk over this instead of fighting each other." I saw Callie barely manage to get up, and look at Marie while she was panting and growling in pain.
"T-talk? TALK WITH THE ONE WHO KILLED ME IN COLD BLOOD!?" She shouted at me, readying her claws again as Marie readied her Splat Charger.
"If you so much as take another step forward, I won't hesitate to splat my own cousin whom loved me as much as I loved her!" She shouts at Callie with tears forming in her eyes, and I could see Callie just staring at Marie. She grunts for a bit, before retracting her claws and reverting back into her in-game model while having a frown on her.
"Fine... let's talk..." Callie says, as Marie walks over to her hugs her cousin as Callie struggles at first, wanting Marie to let go as she tells her to. However, Marie ignores her as Callie lets out a growl but soon sighs as as she places her hands over Marie's back as well.
"I... I just don't know what came over me... I hate myself so much for trying to kill you and Sam..." I could hear Callie start crying as I heard Marie shush her as she patted her back. I soon felt something inside of me, a feeling of regret and depression as I felt bad for the Squid Sister who tried killing me four times just by looking at the two cousins hugging it out.
"It's ok, Callie... Don't worry, I know that Sam has forgiven you, despite everything that's happened. Right, Sam?" She looked at me through the television, as I responded to her question.
"It's true. I know that my in-game character has controlled you this entire time, judging that you weren't "yourself" when you tried to attack and kill me the many times. You always seemed to be one of the most kind-spirited and optimistic inklings I've ever seen before you started attacking me." I formed a smile on my lips as Callie burst out crying afterward, and I soon saw a shadowy figure leave her body, sporting a white glowing grin and eyes on it.
"Come on, Callie. Quit crying, you heard what Sam said. He's already forgiven you, and we both could use your help against Genocide 3." She smiles at her cousin as she helps Callie up to her feet, and pats her on the back as Callie smiles back and looks at the camera at me.
"Right... I need to stop being such a crybaby... Sam, let's go and destroy Genocide 3 before he can do any more harm to this world!" Her happy personality soon returns as she fist pumps the air, and I was smiling that her usual personality returned as the screen faded to black soon afterward.
As the screen brightened up after it had faded to black, I was shown Callie, Epsilon and Marie re-entering the darkened lobby area, and I was surprised to see that someone else was in the room with Cuttlefish.
DJ Octavio.
He was looking at all of us, having his tentacles crossed while having a look of determination in him as Cuttlefish began speaking.
"Ah! So you two have returned with Callie!" He smiles, as the Squid Sister runs over to her grandfather and hugs him as she smiles at him.
"Yeah, it was a complicated battle. Heck, she even managed to nearly splat me sometimes." The octoling grinned as he turned to look at Octavio and was happy to see the leader of the octarians next to Cuttlefish.
"Hey, Octavio! You ready to fight Genocide 3?" I saw Octavio smile underneath as he chuckled happily.
"I am more than prepared to REMIX that inkling's face for killing my best friend and everyone whom has come across his path!" He presses a button, and I was amazed to see his robot that he used during his final boss battle in Octo Valley. I was more than excited to control Octavio for the upcoming battle, wondering what kind of attacks he has up his sleeve for the fight.
However, just as before they are ready to fight, all of the lights in my house went out as my room went completely dark. Only my television screen was lit up, as I heard the familiar laughing of Genocide 3 coming from the television as I saw Marie, Epsilon, Callie, Cuttlefish and Octavio start walking to the door leading back to Inkopolis Plaza. And upon leaving the lobby area, I saw that the entire city had gone up in flames and the sky was a completely black color as I heard something. The sound of a familiar heartbeat as I recognized someone standing in the middle of the plaza holding the same roller that killed Epsilon with the same grin that has mocked me ever since I first met him before Callie was splatted.
Genocide 3. Emily's nightmares and murderer. The creature that had tormented her, and taken her away from me.
Author's Note: 2 more chapters remaining now, and I am already excited to start working on the next chapter, because it'll be the finale of the creepypasta. And this finale will will be a long one.
I won't spoil what will happen, but you can expect a fight with Genocide 3. =)
AND I WILL SHOW EVERYONE NO MERCY. YOU'VE HAD CHANCES, AND NOW I WILL SHOW YOU THE CONSEQUENCES YOU WILL BE FACING IN THE NEXT CHAPTER.
