(Austria)
"Get off of her!" shouted Will. Dark Will threw Valentina down.
"Hmm. So you still have fight left in you. Pity. Thought I had taken all of that."
"I will always fight as long as I have love."
"Let's see how long that lasts in the future when you're true love is dead. And Dark Will blasted lightning at her, only this time, Will intercepted it and blocked it with his own. As much hate and darkness there was in Dark Will; it was still being balanced by light and love in Light Will. Valentina emerged on her feet and walked towards the middle of their lightning clash.
"Valentina, stay down!" shouted Light Will.
"Do as he says." agreed Dark Will.
"No!" she said. I loved both of you, you were my Will. You cannot simply choose a side, but you must control each other and balance it. Love is about harmony, not simply charging into battle and poetry. It's about pain and loss, but it's also recovery. And there's only one way to ensure that you get it."
With that she leapt in the middle and was consumed by both their lightning. She burst into beams of light and then the lightning stopped. Both fell to their knees, crippled by their loss. Both had loved her in their own ways, but neither had gotten it right. Light Will had always believed a knight in shining armor would win over her heart, but he had missed that Dark Will's strength, fortitude, and desire to fight and not give up on goals and dreams had been just as essential to their love. And back in 2025, he still had not realized that.
Dark Will stood up first. "She's gone. We must move on."
"How can you say that? I loved her."
"We loved her." corrected Dark Will.
"NO, you killed her. You hurt her. You ruined our love."
"We never had love! We can't feel love. And there is only one person to blame for this." Marie. "I am going to return to the future and clean up the mess you started before you went on your suicide attempt. Enjoy what is left of Austria." And Dark Will disappeared in a flash of lightning.
