Final chapter for arc three. Excited? (Point out any mistakes I make.)
Chapter 13 DestuctionXFreezeXExplosions
"Stop! Don't move any further."
"How? You don't even have a way you can do this."
"I told you that they lied to you. You don't know everything about me. I have different things that you don't have or know about."
"Let me guess. It was you who did this." The brightness got bigger and the ground broke more. Fire came and burned the trees. Wind blew things everywhere, making things fly towards the explosion that was happening.
"Partly. I wasn't the one who thought about when to destroy it. I wanted someone to know that it was going to get destroyed." He crossed his arms as he stood there, leting the fire grow, and the ground to disappear.
"So you had someone else do it for you. That's just dumb and out of laziness. Did they press the button on behalf of your plan?" She waved her hands sarcastically.
"I'll even tell you the story. I will make it brief so we can get it over with."
"You wanted to see me?" He wondered, already knowing this would happen. They stood in a room to keep their words from going to someone, by closing a door and moving into somewhere to far for someone to overhear.
"Yes. I have a request to make. I need you to help me with something."
"And why have you chosen me to help you with your job?" He was tested him, just to make sure it was really him.
"You are the only one that would be willing. I don't know anyone but Kei that can control this game."
"Yep. Its you." He sighed in relief. "I already know what you want. You figured out how to destroy this game."
"How did you know?"
"Its definitely you. And I was the one to send the message back there. She tried to trick you so it would be hard to get out. So I made a stepway that you took, so she wouldn't be able to change it before she noticed."
"But the problem that I have: I don't know how I can destroy the game. And I can't send everyone out. That's why I came to you because I know I can trust you." He rubbed his neck and laughed nervously.
"And that why I can help you. I have the button in a settings that only I can get into. I just didn't want to press it until someone knew it was going to be destroyed. It would make everything easier." He crossed his arms again. "I can send everyone out, but I need one person to help me keep her from stopping it. I will try to find a way for you to get out, and then let you go, along with everyone else."
"But don't you want to live longer? If this kills you, then..."
"I know the consequence. But I wasn't suppose to be put in this game. Its cruel and evil. The creators made it to trick anyone who got on. And that includes you, and especially you. It was easy for you to be tricked since she is around your age and usually all the adults don't trust her. So she took you as bait and it worked," he explained. It was simple, but who was he with and who was he talking about. Kei of course. She was the only explanation to get in the way of the plan. But still, who was he talking with?
"I'll accept this. But first I want everyone out. But don't send Killua out at the same time. I want to talk to him first and then have him sent out way before its over."
"I will let you. Since this isn't part if my ability, I will accept the request. And its also because this is what I wanted."
"Then start with sending everyone out." He listened to the command and one by one, each and every player was sent out. The only ones left were Gon, Killua, Hikari, and Kei. Now was the final thing.
He also made sure everyone couldn't get in again, by blocking them, so the closest they got was the home screen. Nothing else. Then the button was pushed. The game was destroyed by a push of a button.
"Now then. The explosions should have started by now. I will send you over to Killua and I will go to her and talk to her."
They both left and returned to the spot where Killua and Kei were.
"So that's what you planned on doing. You are making Gon protect the button so you can kill me and yourself. That's stupid of you."
"Stupid enough to change you. You weren't like this before. You changed a lot since the years passed."
"I know that Mr. Knows-it-all. You just died too. All you have left is to stand here and wait for the explosion to kill you." In his head, that wasn't what he was thinking. He had something in mind that would help him and Kei.
"Try to stop me if you are willing. There can't be a way to stop this. I will do anything to stop this nonsense."
"Why do you even care about these people anyway?"
"You don't know everything about this-"
"GAME! I know. You've said that too many times. Well then, enjoy the show while it lasts. I will enjoy my last few minutes thinking of all the things I could have done better, which was getting rid of you." She was starting to change more. Her bad side and annoying side was growing and her good side was almost gone. She used to have some good inside before, but now she was just plain crazy.
"And here is you final quote from me. After I tell you this, you will know why I wanted to get rid of this game for everyone." He cleared his throat quietly. "There are two choices. Number one: you can live a way everyone likes and does. No one wants someone like you being around." He didn't even ask for no offense. "Number two: You can be on your bad side always, waking up on the wrong side of the bed. There, no one will be willing to help you. All you have to do is change yourself, and you thoughts, attitude, feelings, and actions. There are your two choices. I am the first one. I won't change myself. No one hates how I act because I want to help. You are two. But you can change. There is a way you can. But you don't realize it. That's why you need to learn or else you won't spend your time, being happy, along with everyone else."
"Choice, or my own self as it already is? I choose myself. No one has ever wanted me to help, nor do I want to do that to someone. Even though I had one person, that didn't change because I already chose what I was going to do a long time ago. I need more people to trust me for a good reason. Then maybe my attitude will change."
He sighed out of disbelief. 'Lets just hope this goes through before she has time to stop this.'
"I can't get away from it. Its coming too fast." He covered his face as he stood far from the explosion.
"Wait! Don't leave!" a voice came. "I need to say something before you leave."
"Gon?! Why did you show up now? And where are we anyway?" He still was confused.
"This may be hard to explain. But this is a game. Its real and we need to get out. I know how to get out. But there's something I need to tell you before leaving."
"You're saying it like we are going to leave separately."
"Actually that's what's going to happen. I need to stay here to make sure this explosion doesn't stop. You are going to be sent out soon, so this is the time I need to say something. You won't understand...But you had your memory taken away. That's why you don't remember this place. You don't know anyone here because you forgot. But its my fault you ended up like this." He was on the verge of tears. "I left you without knowing and then you were tricked into getting your memory taken away. And I found out shorty after I came back in. That's when I decided to do this. I am one of the reasons this game is being destroyed."
"Are you sure all of this is right? This might be true because I ended up here when the last thing I remembered is far from here. How could this even be possible?"
"If we hadn't come in here in the first place, then none of this would have happened. That's why I want to make sure this place is gone forever, and that everyone here is out. And almost everyone should be out. Its just you, me, and two other people you din't remember. And the next person I was hoping to get out was you. I think it can only be you now anyway."
"But what if you can't leave? What will happen then?"
"I'll..." He couldn't say it. If he said die, then Killua wouldn't let him out. He would force him to come with him.
A familiar voice came from their side. It was Hikari. He had already dwelt with Kei, who was on the ground, waiting for what she was expecting to happen in the next few minutes.
"Are you ready?" He went closer to Killua.
"Yes. Send him out. Then try to find a way for me to get out."
Killua's eyes widened a little. Hikari pressed the button to send him out and he started fading. He looked at his hands, which got lighter and lighter each second.
"No. You can't take me out yet. Whatever happens to you, I don't want to happen. I want you to also get out." He clenched his fists out of anger and sadness.
"I will get out, but not just yet."
"But what will happen if you don't have time and you end uo staying here?" He was almost gone. It was just his head left.
"I will...I will." He stopped and only Killua's eyes were left. He could barely hear him say the word softly. "Never mind." He didn't even finish the response. Instead he stayed silent and Killua was gone.
"Now lets figure this out." Kei then came by and tried to stop them.
"Don't do this to me. Stop this now," she demanded.
"I won't do it just because you demanded me." He opened up his setting. The explosion got right next to them.
"NO! STOP THIS NOW!" Gon stepped in the way and felt the hit air blow on him. They all faced towards the fire, all the same length away from it. It got an few inches from there skin, but then Hikari pressed a button. "STO-"
She froze and so did Gon. Her mouth was still open from her not being able to finish what she was saying. He sent Gon out and got ready to finish what he had to do. Kei faded and so did Hikari. It was like leaving the game. The explosion continued and no one was left. No being laid inside.
He fell down onto the ground. The room filled with smoke and he was covered in smoke. He coughed hard and yelled at himself. "No! I should have stopped him! Now he might not get out! Its my fault!"
"Its not."
He turned to see Gon standing behind.
"How did you!"
"I told you I would find a way out. Now the game is destroyed, and we both got out. No one can enter it or play it outside again."
The game was destroyed again, along with the Joystation.
"Gon? I have one thing to say about this. I am glad we could both get out, but now I need you to do one more thing for me."
"What is it?"
"Buy me a new Joystation." He pointed at it. It was his, and now he had to replaced again.
They laughed it and then left the room.
Meanwhile, during that time, something else happened.
Smoke filled the room. The console exploded. A girl laid in the room, but she didn't know how she got out.
"P!" *Cough! Cough!* "They lied to me. They betrayed me. They tricked me." A girl with long blonde hair coughed out smoke from her lungs. "Why couldn't I remember anything? How come now I remember?" She panted hard, and started to drag herself of a counter she had been laying on. "I need to know the truth to this. But will they even trust me?" She started to cry. "Am I really human, or am I not? I don't know anything that happened to me."
'You need to know what really happened to you seven years ago. You have three months to figure it out, or else they will find you.'
She gasped. "Hi...Hikari? It can't be. You died from the game. How are you able to talk to me?"
'Don't worry about that. There is something I have to tell you now. Since you know more about the game, you will learn something about me and about the game that will help you survive.'
"What are you even talking about? Who is after me?"
"I will explain after you do this. Go look at the window. There is something you have to see about youself that you won't expect.'
She couldn't get herself to move. "Tell me first. I need to know."
'First of all, I can only tell you certain things. You need to go to Gon for help. He is the only one who will understand. I can't help you for a reason.' She fell onto the ground. 'I have to stop talking. There is someone coming. You have a few minutes to think and choose what you do.'
'I will choose to have him help me, but now I don't think that will be possible becuase he might not trust me anymore.'
"You need to know the truth about this game."
"I know I do." Then she began to yell and held onto her head. "Please help me!"
Guess what? First of all, big cliffhanger. But that's not what I was talking about. What I was going to say was that we are half way done with the fanfic. Maybe not with the number of chapters, but this is half of the amount of arcs that have been posted. There are three more left. (I don't exactly know how many chapters are left.)
Question: Who was the blonde girl at the end? Try to figure it out. :)
