Chapter 11: 7-5-14-15-3-9-4-5: Part 2
"Oh. Fuck. No."
Those were my first thoughts, on realizing that I would have to fight Genocide 3. My ingame character, and nightmare that has been torturing me with the hallucinations that tried to kill me for 3 entire days, as well as being the one that killed Emily. I looked at the top of the screen, and saw that he had about 25 life bars as opposed to Hallucination Callie whom had 20 when I fought him. I widened my eyes as soon as Marie fired a Splat Charger shot at him, only taking about a half of his life bar away as he ran towards Marie and clawed at her with razor-sharp claws similar to Callie. And when those claws cut through her, I saw something horrifying for a split second.
An image of Emily's dead corpse flashed through my eyes along with the feeling of something burning at my arm. I screamed in pain and paused the game, but as soon as I did, I heard the sound of Genocide 3 laughing in the background as the game suddenly unpaused itself, and I saw my character grabbing Marie.
"YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, SAM." A message appeared on the screen with a distorted icon showing Genocide 3's smile along with the voice. The voice was that of a low-pitched man echoing through the television as I began to choke in fear and saw Marie being surrounded by a cage of a black mass of some kind with realistic octopus-looking tentacles bursting out of the ground.
"NO! ANYONE BUT HER! I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY FOR BETRAYING YOU, I DIDN'T MEAN IT! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THINGS WOULD BE GETTING THIS SERIOUS, JUST LET ME AND EMILY GO, PLEASE!" I begged and screamed through the Gamepad at Genocide 3, but my character no longer had his smile on him like he usually did. Instead, he had a frown of some kind, and his white glowing eyes and lips are now a blood-red color instead as he looked at me through the television in anger as he responded to me.
"YOU BACKSTABBING WORM, IT'S TOO LATE FOR APOLOGIES NOW." I saw him point at the other four characters with his Saw Blade-covered roller that he was ready to slaughter, and then he said something that made my blood run cold.
"ONLY ONE OF US WILL SURVIVE." That sentence couldn't have been any more clear. If I couldn't kill Genocide 3, then he would kill me along with Emily and the other characters. I knew that I was going to face the "consequences" by siding with Epsilon instead of him before he was splatted that my character mentioned, but never to this level. I growled, and lowered my eyebrows in anger as I began to accept Genocide 3's offer. I was the one determined to kill him, and save Emily from her torment.
The song suddenly erupted into a loud, blaring choir of some kind, chanting the word: "BLOODSHED" as I began to fight my ingame character again with Callie, whom had 20 life bars like she did when I fought her in her hallucination form. And this time, she was prepared to fight unlike when Genocide 3 splatted her and turned her into a hallucination as I saw her prepare her roller. It all went by so fast, that I barely could manage to remember how the fight was like. Just like Epsilon when I ran away from him with Marie in the Urchin Underpass level, Genocide 3 moved at a horrifyingly fast speed, and I had to be on my toes while fighting him since he would take a whole life bar away from Callie.
Every time Genocide 3 hit any of the characters I controlled during the fight, an image of Emily's dark and disturbing past would flash in front of my eyes, mostly images before she died and sometimes even video clips showing her falling to her death and screaming. I couldn't afford to be hit by my character's attacks, because I felt my sanity slowly go away with every hit as well, which already gave me another reason to dodge every one of his attacks.
He soon jumped over me at a great height, throwing a barrage of Splat Bombs that looked like nuclear bombs down at me. I immediately inked the ground below Callie, and made her turn into her squid form in order to hide away from it. But there was no dodging this attack of his.
When the bombs fell onto the ground and painted it a blood red color along with hints of flames coming out of the ground and forcing Callie out of her squid form, I literally began screaming as I felt a searing burn as if I was being burned alive in lava. I paused the game, due to it hurting so much. But Genocide 3 quickly unpaused the game, and attacked me with a realistic-looking sniper rifle that he held in-game as I felt an agonizing pain in my chest. And this drove me insane along with seeing the horrifying images from Emily's perspective, and I saw that Callie's special meter was completely filled up. I immediately pressed the right analog joy stick, and began using a Killer Wail on him as I heard Genocide 3 let out a painful scream within the weapon's line of sight as 5 bars of life disappeared from him and leaving only 11 left. Callie would've been gone as she only had 4 life bars left after the devastating attack, had it not been for the timer which I was incredibly grateful for. Just before it ran out, I saw Genocide 3 slam the ground below him as it transformed into the familiar landscape where I fought DJ Octavio in Octo Valley for the final boss.
I chose to fight Genocide 3's next phase with Octavio, since the landscape fit the octarian leader perfectly. It wasn't that smart of an idea, but it's what I did for the second phase.
Once I entered the new landscape with Octavio, whom was is in his giant robot, I saw that there were still fire and flames in the new arena, and Genocide 3 had strangely all of his health restored which confused me at first. I soon saw, that he was wearing the full armor piece that you'd occasionally find in the Octo Valley levels, grinning at me as he took aim with his sniper rifle. I immediately moved Octavio out of the way before he could shoot his splatter of ink at my character.
And what made this worse, was that controlling Octavio was clunky and a chore to deal with, which made it much easier for Genocide 3 to deal damage to my character. Octavio's robot wouldn't stop moving when I stopped moving to the left as if it was on ice physics, and using Octavio's attacks took some time to charge up. However, this was balanced with whenever one of his fists hit Genocide 3, it would take away two whole life bars. I immediately pressed the ZL button, and Octavio fired his robot's left fist, which Genocide 3 soon saw and barely managed to fire it back at Octavio. This fight was starting to get tense with me now having to avoid my character's own attacks as I pressed the ZR button and sent his right arm to deflect left fist as it was sent towards Genocide 3. I soon realized, that Genocide 3 was going to send it flying back toward Octavio, so I moved him out of the way, just before the fist came flying past him as he flashed and showed razor-sharp teeth.
"RULE BREAKERS MUST BE PUNISHED." I saw a message appear on the screen as it faded back into the arena. Genocide 3 was nowhere to be seen, and I soon saw splat bombs in the shape of nuclear bombs raining down on Octavio as I tried my hardest to avoid them and not feel the same searing burn like before and seeing sanity-draining images again. I only got hit twice, but I felt Genocide 3 was breaking his own rules, so I shouted to the Gamepad: "Hey, if you're going to cheat, then why are you even letting me control Octavio!?" And Genocide 3 soon responded with: "BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO SEE YOUR FRIENDS SUFFER." And then he appeared in front of Octavio, slashing him across the face with his blade-covered roller as I felt my face getting slashed at. I barely ignored the sharp pain, and made Octavio throw Genocide 3 to the ground and snatch his roller away, breaking it in half as I was deeply surprised at what I saw. I soon saw Genocide 3 having the same blood red-colored eyes and lips again as he let out a roar, the flames around the arena getting more ferocious and larger than before as I felt as though I was starting to sweat.
He soon pulled out something that I wasn't expecting, and barely managed to avoid having Octavio get splatted by my character.
He pulled out what seemed to be a large, black-colored machine gun of some kind, and it soon let out a roar as it started firing nonstop projectiles of black-colored ink at Octavio. Octavio's life bar was rapidly drained, and I mashed every button on the Gamepad, and I was lucky enough to accidentally press the left analog joystick, and a shield soon came up. However, I saw that Genocide 3 was lacking all of his armor pieces, and his health was returned back to when Callie was almost splatted without me noticing, and I began mashing the ZL and ZR buttons, which managed to devastatingly take out 5 bars of health from Genocide 3's life meter, leaving him with only 7 at this point. I soon saw him slam the ground again, changing it to the Octo Valley location with a large pool of lava underneath it, similar to a volcano of some kind. So I knew that I had to choose Cuttlefish next.
Deciding to fight Genocide 3 with Cuttlefish was a terrible idea to begin with. Cuttlefish was instantly overpowered and overwhelmed by Genocide 3's attacks, as I only managed to drain a miniscule amount of health from him. And in a mere 20 seconds of fighting later, Cuttlefish's life meter was drained completely to 2 bars.
And once he only had 1 bar of health remaining, Genocide 3 soon did something, that I didn't see coming.
He charged at Cuttlefish, and grabbed him by the neck as I saw the old inkling desperately trying to struggle and gasp for air as I saw my ingame character smile at him and slam him on the ground. And he soon followed it with a stomp to Cuttlefish's head, crushing it into bits and pieces as ink and brains splatter onto the ground and underneath Genocide 3's foot as he enjoyed the pain he was inflicting, smiling at Cuttlefish's headless corpse.
I soon felt a splitting headache after Cuttlefish's death as I screamed in pain, feeling as though something was crushing my head. Cuttlefish was killed because of my plan, and I would share the pain with him as I was taken back to the character selection menu, seeing that Cuttlefish's icon was nowhere to be seen, leaving me only with Callie, Octavio and Epsilon as I just stared at Marie's icon, who had a look of horror on her face and was crying. There was only one character that I could choose from that could save me and Emily now: Epsilon.
If any of the characters could save me now from Genocide 3, it would be him, and I selected his icon as I was taken back to the same arena I fought Genocide 3 in with Cuttlefish.
As soon as Genocide 3 saw Epsilon, I saw him frown even further as he pointed his roller at me and said something that must have made me think that he and Epsilon had some kind of history together.
"EPSILON, YOU TRAITOR. I'VE ALWAYS HATED YOU AND YOUR KIND! YOU CAN DIE WITH THE REST OF YOUR MISERABLE FRIENDS..." And suddenly, out of nowhere, he used a Killer Wail on the octoling. And instead of ink coming out of it, flames came out instead as I felt my whole body getting scorched and burned. As much as the attack hurt, it actually worked to my advantage since Epsilon still had some health to spare, and now Genocide 3 had used up all of his special attacks as he didn't use any more after the Killer Wail attack. Now he would be the one feeling the pain I endured through.
I noticed that Epsilon's face was melted off, and I saw that he had the same glowing eyes and lips as Genocide 3's, except that they were a blue color instead. He soon attacked my character as he let out a roar, and responded with the following: "I'D RATHER DIE THAN SERVE YOU!"
The music was getting faster as Genocide 3 was nearing the end of his life bar, and I saw that his model started to glitch and distort. Both he and Epsilon were at equal terms of strength and power, as the two constantly fired their weapons at each other. Genocide 3 with his machine gun that he used on Octavio, and Epsilon with his Soda Slosher. When Genocide 3 only had one bar of life remaining, he attempted to use one last counter-attack on Epsilon as he charged toward Epsilon and tried to choke the octoling and kill him like he did with Cuttlefish. But he wouldn't be killing any more of his victims.
Just as he was about to grab Epsilon, I struck him in the head one last time with all of the might I could muster with Epsilon's Soda Slosher, and then he slumped to the ground, his model starting to glitch and distort.
I thought I had finally saved Emily and myself from my character. But something was wrong.
Genocide 3's model stopped glitching and distorting, and I still couldn't move my body after defeating him. Genocide 3 was still alive.
His eyes began to glow, as he started cackling maniacally. And all of a sudden, blood-red colored tentacles spurted out of his back as I saw black ink along with hints of slime and organic parts oozing out of his back, sporting spikes on them as his body started hovering in the air. His legs started forming tentacles similar to that of a colossal squid's, and his body was no longer recognizable as he started reconstructing his body as Epsilon just stood there with a shocked look on his face.
Two human-like eyes started appearing where his new set of eyes are, looking bloodshot and crying a blood red liquid out of them as I saw him forming a mouth of some kind, and similar to that of a real squid. Razor-sharp, rotting human teeth appeared where his mouth's teeth were as I could hear sounds of screams and cries for help coming from within as it sprouted more spikes where his mouth was. The mouth was slobbering a black liquid of some kind, and then came the breathing. The breathing sounded as if someone was dying, and I could see Genocide 3's new form's eyes look at Epsilon with craze and hunger on them as he was finishing his transformation. And finally, after a long while of waiting, I saw a computer screen of some kind form where his "head" was, showing what seemed to be a human-like face in a 2-bit style bearing a psychotic smile on him. And then, I finally heard his voice. A high-pitched voice, sounding as though he's completely lost his mind after transforming into his new form.
"I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET, SAM!" I heard him say, soon followed by one of the most evil and disturbing laughs I've ever heard in my life, sounding like that of someone whom has lost all control of himself. Immediately after letting out his loud and demonic laugh, he started attacking Epsilon in his gigantic, final form as he attempted to slash at Epsilon with his tentacles and built-in rollers sporting saw blades on them. I soon saw how gigantic he was in comparison to Epsilon, being about the size of a mountain as he slammed one of his large, tentacle arms onto the ground in an attempt to crush and butcher my character which I barely managed to avoid. I knew, that my demise was imminent, seeing as how Genocide 3 now had 50 bars of life compared to what he had before.
The music had changed into that of a low-pitched choir, but it would soon follow with the sound of an electric guitar being mixed in with the song, in which the sound of drums would start replacing the choirs and soon return with the choirs again after the drums were over.
Even though Epsilon was one of my strongest characters, he didn't even stand a chance in the slightest against my in-game character, whom could now spew a burst of flames from his teeth-covered mouth along with creating hallucinations of Callie, Cuttlefish, Octavio and even Epsilon at will, even though some of them are still alive.
After barely lowering Genocide 3's to about 46 bars of health, Genocide 3 managed to catch Epsilon with one of his tentacles and brutally start slicing him up from toe to head with his roller. The sadistic monster took his time in giving Epsilon the slowest death possible, as I saw the octoling's ink splatter onto Genocide 3 tentacles and he was soon reduced into nothing but splatters of ink as I heard Genocide 3 let out the same laugh before the fight started. I could tell, that he was enjoying the pain he gave all of us.
"YOU ARE ALL WEAK, YOU WILL ALL TASTE THE PAIN THAT I'VE GIVEN THE OCTARIANS, AND YOU WILL ALL DIE!" His voice was low-pitched again, and my heart was starting to race and beat twice as fast like it usually did. This was hopeless, we were all going to die, and I had to send in another character to fight Genocide 3. I only hoped that they would forgive me for doing this to them.
After draining Genocide 3's health by a small amount with Octavio with his killer wail attack, he was soon also obliterated like Epsilon. Genocide 3 grabbed Octavio after destroying his robot with only 3 strikes from his tentacles, and grabbed him by the head as he started squeezing him like a toy of some kind. I soon saw Genocide 3 lift one of his tentacles sporting a spike on it as he instantly popped Octavio's head open with a swift jab, splattering Octavio's ink onto his face as I heard Genocide 3 laugh again as he tossed the octarian leader's corpse into the lava below him. Another moment of silence followed soon after along with the pain of my head being split open, and then nothingness was my ally after Octavio melted away in the lava.
"YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME, SAM." His voice was high pitched again, as I heard him laugh. I screamed into the Gamepad, furious and angry.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!? WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE TO YOU!?" I asked him, and he responded by saying this to me.
"I WANT TO TORTURE YOU LIKE I'VE DONE WITH EMILY SINCE SHE WAS NAUGHT BUT A CHILD AFTER HER DEATH. NOW SEND IN YOUR LAST CHARACTER, AND I'LL END THIS PATHETIC STRUGGLE!" I soon heard him laugh again, his laugh covered in static as he roared at me in the loudest voice I've heard from him.
As I was taken back to the character selection screen, I saw that Marie's icon showed her having a look of guilt and regret on her face while Callie's icon showed her having fear in her eyes. I began to tear up, and started to scream and beg for Emily to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to help me and Callie, but to no avail as her icon was still grayed out. There was only one thing that I could do now.
Just like the previous characters that tried to stand up to Genocide 3 in his final form, Callie stood no chance against him. After forming splat chargers, splattershots, sloshers, rollers and splatlings and firing them at her from his tentacles, Callie's health was also depleted rapidly. And she too met a brutal demise like the others from Genocide 3.
He proceeded to impale Callie with one of his tentacles as I saw her life reaching 0, and he soon opened his grotesque mouth wide as he threw Callie inside with her letting out a horrified scream before I heard horrid, crunching sounds coming from within Genocide 3's mouth as I felt as my body was getting crushed to death. I knew Callie wouldn't stand a chance like the others did, but maybe now that all four of my characters have been splatted by Genocide 3, I could finally use Marie. And as soon as I was treated to the character selection screen with a blood-soaked "GAME OVER" on it, I pressed Marie's icon as fast as I could.
Her icon started to shake as she closed her eyes while struggling, as though she was desperately trying to free herself from the cage she was in. And before I could activate her, Genocide 3 had had enough, and went for the killing blow: Paralyzing my lungs and heart. I felt my hands start to become numb, as I dropped the Gamepad to the floor and began to gag for air. Even though my vision was starting to fade away, I still tried to activate Marie.
My vision was becoming a blur, but just before I would've had my soul claimed by Genocide 3 and never lived to tell this story, I felt that I could breath again, as well as my heart starting to beat again as I saw the "GAME OVER" start to glitch out, followed by Genocide 3 sounding like he's choking on something, soon followed by a loud booming sound as though he dropped himself to the floor. And when my vision was regained, I saw something amidst the black screen: Marie.
"Sam, come on, we don't have much time!" She said to me in Emily's voice as I looked up at her, confused while picking up my Gamepad.
"E-Emily!? I thought you were incapable of doing anything whilst being in that cage!" I said, surprised and happy as I heard her chortling and looking at me with a smile as I managed to barely notice 4 shapes starting form around her.
"Heh, I was. When the others died, I felt as though I was surrounded by a feeling of hope. Despite the other four having been splatted, they're still here..." She said, as the four shapes revealed themselves to be the hallucination versions of the four characters that I used, only that they all have blue-colored eyes instead and looked happy at me as they floated above Marie.
The hallucinations soon hovered downward at the same altitude Marie was at, and began floating around Marie, channeling some kind of light into her as I was amazed at what happened next. I saw Marie's model go completely white, soon followed by her model returning back to normal, now sporting white glowing tentacles, human-esque eyes with blue irises, as well as wearing white-colored robes of some kind with a green ribbon around it as well while a golden, glowing ring was floating above her head. Just by looking at her, I had a feeling of hope as I was taken back to the character selection screen, now showing Marie having white glowing eyes, as well as the golden-colored ring floating above her head and glowing tentacles, as well as now having the name: "Emily"
It was time to finally end this, once and for all. With the help of Emily and the souls of the other characters who died fighting Genocide 3, we would all take this damn hellspawn out of existence, and avenge Emily's death as I sent her to the same battlefield as Genocide 3 was in, ready and determined to destroy my in-game character.
I pressed the button that would start the fight, and static soon filled the screen as I saw Genocide 3 letting out a loud, blaring roar as he begins attacking Emily with everything he had, and I saw that Emily had about 20 life bars with the life bar even having a hint of a gold color on it.
"YOU TWO WILL NEVER SURVIVE AGAINST ME!" Genocide 3 screamed with rage at us both, as I began to attack him with the new powered-up Emily.
Emily was by far the strongest, playable character in the game, and she had to be if we both had a chance of surviving. Her weapons involved a splat charger made out of gold, sporting a white glow on it that dealt a tremendous amount of damage by taking out 2 whole life bars from Genocide 3 by firing a beam of light, as well as using Splat Bombs that would cover the area in a bright light that would take away 3 life bars from Genocide 3. Her special attack involved firing multiple Splat Bombs that would rain from the sky, and deal a massive amount of damage and color the ground below Emily a white color.
And she even had the ability to fly, much like Epsilon, except she sprouts white, glowing wings from her back and levitates in the air. Even though with all of this sounding overpowered, Genocide 3 had more than enough life to spare. And in the end, this would come down to pure skill. The music had changed into a fast-paced song of triumph and victory, and it greatly made me determined to save both me and Emily.
As he reached about 25 life bars, Genocide 3's face on the computer screen began to show my actual face, distorting and looking as though it's screaming with fear in its blood-soaked eyes as he began letting out loud and painful roars as Emily and I continued tearing him apart with only 13 life bars remaining for the two of us. He attempted to fire a barrage of needles at Emily, but I easily moved her out of the way as I made her use her special attack as countless Splat Bombs rained down on Genocide 3, causing him to scream in pain as my face on his screen began to rot and decay, as well as starting to glitch out as both Emily and Genocide 3's life bars were only at 3.
And finally, after about 5 minutes of dodging and attacking Genocide 3, I shot one final strike from Emily's Splat Charger after barely avoiding his Killer Wail attack from his mouth, and Genocide 3 was finally destroyed, with only half of Emily's life bar remaining.
A flash of bright light came out of Genocide 3's eyes as I heard him let out a low-pitched scream that gradually became high-pitched as I heard him mutter his final words before finally meeting his well-deserved demise.
"NOOOOOOOO! I... HATE YOU... B...O...T...H..." His voice became low-pitched again as his body tumbled into the lava below the arena he and Emily were standing and began distorting and glitching as he was completely erased from the game itself afterward. Slowly, the paralysis wore off, and I was able to stand up again as I began crying in joy and happiness as a soar of triumphant music was playing in the background. I saw Emily look at me through the television, smiling happily at me as the world around her turned completely black as the lava below her disappears. She weakly manages to stand up on her feet, and chuckle at me as she stood in front of the camera.
"We did it, Emily... we avenged your death..." I smiled back at her as she reverts back into Marie and collapsed on the ground, exhausted and tired after nearly getting killed herself by the hellspawn. The last thing she muttered before the game faded to black were the following: "Thank you so much for saving me, Sam... I'll see you later today..." I saw the camera pan away from her as the screen showed nothing but darkness for about an entire minute.
And when the game faded back to normal, I was completely surprised to see that the game showed the tower of Inkopolis Plaza, now normal once more, even after I saw it going up in flames before the fight against my in-game character. I soon remembered the deaths of the other characters whom had fought and died against Genocide 3 while helping Emily as well, and I mourned their sacrifice in silence until I heard the familiar voice of Denver outside of my house.
Author's Note: Two finales in one day, huh? Boy, did I have a lot of fun writing this chapter and the fight itself.
I know some of you might think, that it's weird that I'm connecting both this story and the Rainstorm together. But I honestly think, that it would make the lore of the entire series much more interesting. Anyways, we've got one last chapter for the Creepypasta, and that's the epilogue! I'll start working on it when I finish writing Chapter 30 for The Rainstorm!
Ciao, everyone! I'm excited to write the final chapter for this "epic"pasta or creepypasta, whatever you may call it now!
