Hey Guys! Crescent Rider here, and I am back with another chapter! As for why it took so long, here are some answers to that question.
First off, The Sequence of the Church is complicated from my point of view and I'm not much of an experienced writer.
Second, I do a lot of stories. From Fanfiction to Archive of our own.
And third, this chapter is long as usual.
But regardless, I'll do what I can to finish what I've started and see to it that everyone enjoys what I've made.
That is all, and as always enjoy the chapter!
P.S.: Some words will be censored since they're highly offensive to everyone!
As the Movie continues with intense stares from the audience, the scene shows South Glade Mission Church in Kentucky, U.S.A.
What follows was the preaching of the Church's Preacher.
"And I say to you! Bear witness!" The Preacher preached while his followers roared in outburst, "Watch the News! Watch the News! AIDS! Floods! The Blood of the Innocent spilled! And yet, there are those who doubt this is the wrath of God!"
The Followers roared in outbursts and agreed to these preachings.
"Our filthy government condones sodomy, divorce, abortion!" The Preacher listed, As the scenes pans to Harry, who absent-mindedly dismissed this preaching "And yes, some still doubt this is the work of the antichrist! You do not have a Jew, a n*****, a w***** or an atheistic, science-loving evolution spouter…"
As these preachings continued, the audience couldn't help but grimace to these preachings while some are utterly confused as to why these people are cheering. As for Crestin and Katana, they paid no attention to it since these types of preaching are too bothersome to listen to anyway.
Then came the first question from the audience…
"Um… Just what is that preacher talking about?" Ruby questioned,
"Good question, Mrs. Rose," Crestin said, "But to put it more specifically. What's the point of all these preachings?"
"And… what does it all mean?" Weiss followed,
"The answer is simple…" Crestin lean on the chair, and crossed his arms and legs together, "Absolutely nothing,"
"Nothing?" Blake said,
"Yep," Crestin responded
"If it means nothing, then why preach it at all?" Pyrrha inquired,
"Exactly, why preach it if it means nothing? Why would people listen if it means nothing?" Crestin added, "Why exactly?"
"Can't you just, oh I don't know. Tell us already," Nora demanded, "These questions are rattling my brain,"
"Alright then, the preaching of this man comes from the term 'Blame Game'. Except, he and his followers blindly blame something that's completely irrelevant to the problem," Crestin explained,
"Why would people blame something that isn't relevant to the problem?" Ironwood questioned,
"Earth is often filled with a lot of complicated people, what these people want is to accept what they blindly consider as the truth and reject the rest should it contradict the truth they accept," Crestin explained, "And this goes way back in Earth's History, except fewer words and more action.
"Why would they do such a thing?" Winter questioned,
"History, Mrs. Schnee, History," Crestin replied, "It's quite long to explain. But I will say that these people publicly discriminate against everyone if they see something different and it makes them dangerous. Try imaging the Faunus discrimination, but much worse than that with little hope of change to their point of view,"
The very thought of this is quite unsettling to everyone in the room. With Earth being filled with humans alone, the discrimination that they imagined must have been harsh even for the Faunus present in the room.
Blake and Velvet, being the most experience with discrimination, were feeling more uncomfortable than the rest of the audience. For they know what it's like to be blamed for something that they've never done in the first place.
By the time everyone calms down, they all continue with the movie without any further questions asked of the two.
"Charming sermon," Merlin remarked, "Do you see Valentine anywhere?"
Harry looks around, and searches for Valentine as the preaching continued. Though unbeknownst to them, the scene changes to a house, not too far from the church, where Valentine and Gazelle are seen.
"Are you sure we're out of range?" Gazelle questioned,
"We're over 1000 feet away, what's wrong?" Valentine inquired,
"What if the calculations are wrong?" Gazelle assumed,
"You just have to trust me," Valentine assured, as he types on the case,
Then the scene changes back to the church as the preacher continued, "Jew, N******, F** Lovers, and the Devil is burning them for all eternity!"
The scene then goes back to Harry, "Would you excuse me?"
"Where are you going?" A woman questioned, and as Harry was about to leave, she blocks him, "Hey! What's your problem?"
Then Harry looks the woman in the eye, "I'm a Catholic Whore… Currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my Black Jewish Boyfriend who works in a military abortion clinic,"
The audience was shocked by what Harry was saying to the lady. It may be lies but lying about something with a straight and formal face takes the cake. The immature ones couldn't help but laugh at the sheer boldness of Harry's lie.
Rather than question Harry's intentions, they chose not to as they watched the movie further.
"So, hail Satan, and have a lovely afternoon, Madam," Harry said, as he stood and walks out the door,
Then the scene goes to Valentine's screen, "Oh shit! He's leaving, I'm starting the test now. Let's hope enough of these freaks have our SIM cards,"
Valentine then grabs a knob from the case and started turning it. Emitting a loud beeping noise as the next scene showed the preachers holding their phones and noticing the Valentine App activating on its own.
All the while, Harry was walking out of the church while the woman begrudgingly follows him, "You just leave this church like the infidel you are!"
The others stood from their pews and focus their attention on Harry and the woman. But from the audience's perspective, it seemed like time slowed down at the same beat as the noise.
"Satan can't save you now! You will eat your babies and drown in the blood of your Lord!" The woman yelled, "He will not save you!"
Harry stops and suddenly pulled his gun at her while everyone else watches. As soon as Valentine turned the knob all the way up, Harry fires at point-blank range while everyone else started fighting amongst one another.
"Holy Fuck!" Eggsy expressed as he saw the chaos unfold in the church,
The sheer intensity of this scene held the breath of the audience until Harry pulls his gun at the lady out of nowhere.
"What the… What is he-" Before Velvet could ask her question, everyone jumped when they witness Harry shoot the woman at point blank range, and some placed their hands onto their mouths as churchgoers started fighting one another,
The sudden turn of events was too much for them to bear in the initial phase. But that was only the start of something far worst as the movie continues.
From Valentine's perspective, the sight of the churchgoers disturbed him and caused him to stutter, "Shit, I can't watch this. Get over here,"
As Valentine switches seats with Gazelle, the scene goes back to Harry who proceeds to gun down the rampaging churchgoers.
The first was three headshots and pushes the fourth before executing him with a headshot. Harry then slid underneath a churchgoer throwing a woman towards another churchgoer while he shot a sixth in the stomach and then on the head.
Harry then avoids a man wielding a knife, grabs the man's other arm, and twirls around while firing three shots before shoving him against a churchgoer then executes said church on the forehead.
Harry then flinches when he is smacked on the back, but he shoots him in retaliation and tosses the man he held aside as he reloaded his next magazine.
Harry then tosses a man over his shoulder, and a churchgoer grabs him by the arm. However, Harry swiftly executes him with a stomach and then on the forehead. He then wrapped his arm around a woman, shoots a man by the shoulder, and executes the woman on the head before avoiding a man taking a swipe at him with a knife.
Harry then kicks the pews like dominoes and executes a man who was stuck in between the pew before crossing over some pews, shoots a man on the forehead, and tackling another man to the ground before executing him with another headshot.
Harry then avoids a man wielding a wooden spike and executes him with another headshot before rolling against the floor to catch a man from attacking him with a knife, then shoots him on the stomach before throwing him against the floor while dislocating the forearm in the process.
Harry shoots a man trying to vault over the altar, turns around to break a wooden staff, grabs a broken part of the staff, and stakes the man through the chest. When Harry tried to kill a man strangling another, his gun was out of ammo, and proceeded to hit the man with the butt of his gun before throwing him aside.
When Harry vaults over the altar, a man tackles him against the wall while the camera focuses on a man being held onto the altar and then stabbed from the neck.
"Jesus!" Eggsy exclaimed in his perspective and momentarily looks away from the monitor
The Audience was utterly shocked by the turn of events, and some of them began puking into their bags after witnessing the chaos that ensued upon Harry and the churchgoers. Even the ex-villains were shaken by this rampage.
Sure, they were horrible people. But having them turned against each other was so wrong in multiple ways.
By the time some of them have finished puking most of their guts out, the questions began.
"Just what are they doing to each other?!" Ruby outrageously asked, "Why would they fight amongst each other, and why Harry would join in on all this!"
"I have seen wars made before, but never have I seen such gruesome acts until now," Ozpin remarked, though he was shaken despite being the only one with actual experience when it comes to wars, the same applies to Ironwood,
"But more importantly, just what did Valentine do when he turned the knob?" Winter inquired after she calms herself from the violence,
"That part will be explained," Crestin stated, "After all, a villain is always the one who explains it all. But right now, you should all take your time in calming yourself since this scene isn't over just yet,"
Apparently, there were some people who needed to calm themselves from the shock while Jaune was literally puking his guts out into the bag while Pyrrha tried her best to soothe him.
After several minutes have passed, everyone was calm, Jaune finished puking whatever remains in his stomach and continued to watch the movie once more.
In Harry's glasses, he still fights as he threw a man towards a pillar that broke his neck and throws another onto the floor.
"Galahad, Can you hear me?" Merlin called out,
Then the scene changes to Merlin's perspective, "Harry! Harry, what the heck is going on?!"
On Merlin's screen, Harry grabs a man and used him as a shield when another man charged at him with a cross-staff.
On Valentine's position, he was disturbed by the volume, glances at the monitor, then back at the window, "Can you turn the volume down please?"
Gazelle complies with his request and turns the volume down, "I didn't expect it to be that effective,"
"What kind of response are we talking about?" Valentine inquired,
"A 100 Percent," Gazelle said as she monitored the cameras, which causes Valentine to raise both of his brows in a surprising manner,
"So everyone's been affected whether they have a SIM Card or not," Valentine commented, "And we get the added benefit of wiping out the Kingsman,"
Apparently, Harry was still fighting strongly against the rampaging churchgoers, and Gazelle just stared at him, "Not yet,"
"The SIM Cards?" Weiss remarked, "Those little things are the cause of this madness?"
"That and let's not forget about the sounds it emits," Crim added, "It's kinda like a high pitching frequency,"
"And the fact that he gave all those cards to globally. Who knows what'll happen when Valentine turns them on all," Velvet worryingly thought, and the same thoughts were brought amongst the audience,
They all feared that every man, woman, and child possessing such cards would result in them fighting amongst themselves to death. If such technology existed in Remnant, that was something that made them very relieved as the damage of such technology combine with the existence of Grimm.
It may as well be the end of all Remnant as they know it, and that was something Salem would want…
"We'll give you guys some time to gather your thoughts around," Crestin said,
Once some finished gathering their thoughts around and calming their minds. They continued to watch the film.
Harry is now seen bludgeoning a man with the Church Censer to death, then hits a man behind. The Censer breaks and burns the man's face. He then tackles the man to the ground but was soon met with a bookstand.
Harry then picks up the book on the ground and holds it up to stop a knife. Then he bashed the book against his attacker's neck, then hits another man through the ground, and pulls the knife out of the book to slit through the man's neck. Then followed by stabbing a woman through the back, and into the owner's eye.
"Why the eye!" Weiss yelled as she instinctively placed her hand over the scar above her eye,
Jaune, having puke his guts out, just shuddered and looked away while Pyrrha comforts him as much as possible. Though no amount of comfort was going to heal them from witnessing this genocide.
Harry then smacks the book toward another man, punches him against a pillar, grabs the knife from its owner's eye, and attempts to kill his next victim. However, he kills a different man by stabbing the knife above the head. He soon spots the same man, punches him across the chin, followed by a punch to the abdomen, and consecutively punches the man three times.
Then that man was then tackled by a different man and pushed through a church window. While a man was killed by a candle holder, Harry pulls out a different light, pops it out, and unloads a burst of flame towards a man's head.
The burnt man was then shot dead, and Harry uses him as a shield. Just behind him was another man shooting at anyone he saw and attempts to shoot Harry. Though he reacts quickly by ducking down and proceeding to fight him for the gun.
Though in the midst of his struggle, he gets hit by a candleholder. But doesn't register the pain as Harry manages to get the gun, hits the man against the side, and locks his arm around the man's neck.
Harry then pushes the man down, shoots a charging man two times, and proceeds to break the man's neck. As he rolls on the ground, a woman trips and Harry shoots her dead.
Harry was then stabbed in the back, but it merely made him flinch, turn around, and shoot him in the head at point-blank range. What followed is him still shooting churchgoers while holding the dead churchgoer.
"He's not stopping!" Yang remarked, and everyone feels concerned over it,
Harry then throws the dead churchgoer on the floor and tries to shoot. But the gun had run out of bullets.
He then avoids a man swinging what appears to be a wooden pike, grabs it out of his hands, struck him in the stomach. What followed was Harry turning the man towards two churchgoers and pushing the pike forward. Impaling all three of them.
Eggsy flinches from the scene and looks away from the monitor.
"Oh you need to see this," Gazelle remarked,
Valentine looked rejected at his assistant, then he turns towards the window overlooking the church.
At this point, it was too much for the viewers. Especially when they witness Harry impale three people at once. Some looked away from the screen, some clenched their fists in anger, and some are too shocked to question what was going on.
Crestin and Katana just stared at their very expressions and remained silent as the audience try to regain their composure from all this carnage.
When they did, they hold all of their questions in mind and continued with the movie. Even though they're aware of what comes next.
Harry was in the middle of a chokehold by a churchgoer and uses his watch to shoot an electric cable to temporarily stun him. Then he pulled out his lighter grenade, arms it, and breaks himself free by elbowing the churchgoer's side.
Harry then slips it into the churchgoer's pocket, grabs him by the back of his shirt, and turns him towards the altar. That's when Harry smacks his fist against the back of the Churchgoer's back, then throws him hard against the altar. Breaking the churchgoer's neck while two other churchgoers land by the dead man.
As the lighter was about to explode, Harry picked up a fire ax from the dead woman and struck it against a woman's neck as well as against the wood. When Harry turns around, the grenade explodes and knocked everyone within the grenade's vicinity on the floor.
Harry's ears began to ring as he slowly picks himself up. But at that moment, Harry looks around to see what was going on, and behind him was a man repeatedly killing another with a spiked candle holder.
The camera then pans to a man repeatedly stabbing another man at the back before attempting to slash Harry's face as he goes to kill the man by stabbing him in the neck. But Harry avoids the attack, then proceeds to grab the man's arm after the kill, and had him stabbed with his own knife.
Harry was then shot from the back, but his bulletproof suit protected him from the projectiles. This gave Harry the opportunity to strike back as he pulled the knife from the man's chest, and stabbed the gunman through the wrist. He then grabs the gun from the gunman's wrist, shot him once at point-blank range, whirls around to cut a man's stomach, and struck the knife into the gunman's neck.
Harry swiftly executes the man he slashed by shooting him in the forehead. A woman then came within Harry's arm range as she shot a man with a revolver and stabbed her several times in the stomach before ducking down to avoid a thrown chair and execute the gunman at point blank range.
What follows is Harry taking the revolver from the woman's hand and resorting to close quarters. He kills two men by bludgeoning their heads with it, breaks a man's arm, smacks the revolver hard against the churchgoer's face, and forcibly dismantles the empty pistol.
The Camera pans to the Preacher as he pulled out the fire ax from the woman's neck, then back at Harry as he stabbed a man with the disassembled pistol through the eye and neck. Harry then grabs the spike candle holder from the man's hands, turns around, and stabbed the Preacher underneath his chin.
As Harry walks a few inches away, the preacher falls to his knees and the spike end goes through his head.
Completely battered and exhausted, Harry gains awareness and looks at his surroundings. Through his glasses, he saw the carnage as the bodies were lying all over the church. From Eggsy and Merlin's perspective, they were utterly shocked by the events they had witnessed.
The audiences were still in silence by everything they had seen, unlike the movies they'd watched. This one was much more shocking than anything they've seen today.
And the one who broke the silence was Crestin as he stood up from his chair, and went in front of the screen, "Before any one of you ask a question, I wholeheartedly suggest you all get your bearings first,"
With one snap of his fingers, one tablet and a glass of water appeared before them and everyone seem hesitant at first. But one look at Crestin gave an answer, "Fear not, those tablets will calm your minds. I promise you,"
They looked at each other, then took the tablets and swallowed them before washing them down with drinking water. As soon as they finished, the glasses disappear from their hands, and remarks from his medicine were made.
"Wow, I feel so..." Yang pauses, then Ruby finishes, "Calm..."
"Yeah, and for some reason. I don't feel anything but relief," Jaune remarked, "And I usually hold a weak stomach to this kind of things,"
"It's like sailing across a calm and peaceful sea," Ozpin remarked, "Truly remarkable,"
Winter and Ironwood nodded to his words as the medicine had a greater effect on them. As for Penny, she didn't swallow a pill since she's a robot but allowed herself to analyze the contents of the tablet in her fingers.
Qrow sighed out of relief as he slouched against his chair, and the same goes for the other hardened audience. As for the rest, they felt like they were in heaven but they quickly snapped out of it as they had questions of their own.
"Just what kind of medicine is this?" Weiss questioned,
"A remedy of my own creation," Crestin revealed, "It's safe, clean, and effective. Any other questions regarding its origin, I will say this; 'No, it is not from Earth'"
"Do you prescribe these to your patients?" Nora sarcastically asked before snickering about it,
"No," Crestin said, "But I do plan on using it in the future. In cases of emergency. of course,"
"Just what are you planning?" Katana inquired,
"See for yourself, Ms. Blade," Crestin insisted, and Katana peers through his open mind,
Before long, Katana widens her eyes as she learned her intentions and Crestin simply smiles at her expression.
"Okay, now that we've all calmed down. Can we know more about Valentine's plot?" Crim questioned, "I'd like to know what he's up to with all of... this"
"Of course," Crestin said, and returned to his seat as everyone continued with the movie,
Having snapped out of his initial shock, Harry walks over to the carnage and heads toward the door. But when he opens them, guns were cocked, and before him was Valentine, his assistant, and two armed bodyguards.
Harry raised his hands at this situation, then lowered them as he faced Valentine, "What did you do to me? I had no control, I killed all those people..."
Valentine smiles as he nodded his head.
"I wanted to," Harry remarked,
"Clever isn't it? In simple terms, It's a neurological wave that triggers the senses of aggression and switches off inhibitors," Valentine elaborated,
"Transmitted through your nasty free SIM Cards I assume?" Harry presumed,
"What does that all mean?" Ruby inquired,
"It means those cards emit a frequency that makes anyone uncontrollably violent," Penny disturbingly explained, "But that scale,"
"He just forced an entire church full of people to undergo a killing spree," Crim grimly stated,
"That's just..." Blake was at a loss for words, and the same applies to everyone. Even the former villains hold the same expression as them,
They wanted to ask questions but persisted against such things as they continue to watch the movie.
Valentine then takes a few steps forward, "Do you know what this is like? It's like those 'old movies' we both love. Now I'm going to tell you my whole plan, and then I'm going to think of some absurd and convoluted way to kill you, and then you will find an equally convoluted way to escape,"
"Sounds good to me," Harry bitterly remarked,
"Well this ain't that kind of movie," Valentine remarked, pulling up a gun, and turns away as he shot Harry at point blank range,
"NNNOOOOO!" Eggsy screamed at the screen while Merlin and Arthur showed a shocked looks on their face,
"Harry!" Ruby cried out,
Some gasped before covering their mouths, some widen their eyes at the screen, and some glared because of Valentine's actions. They did not expect this movie to take a dark turn, but they would hold any questions in mind and watch the movie further.
Back at Valentine, he refuses to look at Harry while Gazelle walks to him, "Is he dead?"
"That tends to happen when you shoot someone in the head," Gazelle remarked, "Feels good, doesn't it?"
"No, it does not feel good. It felt fucking awful!" Valentine remarked,
"Is he serious, right now?!" Neo remarked,
"He just killed like a dozen people, and he feels bad about killing Harry!" Yang followed with red eyes,
"Just what is wrong with this guy," Qrow questioned,
"What? You just killed how many people in that church? This is just one guy," Gazelle remarked,
"No, No, they killed each other," Valentine specified, "Okay, send out the countdown clock. This party starts tomorrow,"
Valentine, Gazelle, and his men leave the church and the camera goes back to Eggsy as he slams down the laptop and presses his back against the chair. Completely devastated by Harry's death, he looked at every news article on the wall before the camera goes to Merlin as he turns away from the screen and removes his glasses.
Merlin shows the same feeling as Eggsy and the same can be said for Arthur as the camera shows him as well.
A moment later, Merlin puts his glasses back on, "Arthur? Are you there?"
"Sadly, I am," Arthur responded, "Assemble the Kingsmen,"
The camera goes back to Eggsy as he marches down the stairs, and turns to the stuffed dog in Harry's study room.
'Can't you see everything I've done is about trying to repay him?' Harry's words echoed in Eggsy's mind,
The latter then proceeds to pour a drink for himself, sits at the very end of the table, and drinks in memory of his fallen mentor.
Everyone shared the same feeling as Eggsy and gave their own toasts for Harry's death. But not Crestin and Katana as they know more of what truly happened to Harry...
After Eggsy puts down the glass, he looks up and stares at the same stuffed dog,'I see a young man with potential. Who wants to do something good in his life'
With those words in mind, Eggsy stands up and leaves the house. The scene changes with Eggsy stopping at the same tailor shop and making his way inside. As soon as he opened the doors, Arthur was the only one present in the meeting room.
"Arthur, Harry's dead," Eggsy remarked,
"Galahad is dead," Arthur specified, "Hence, we have just drunk a toast to him,"
"Well, then you know what that psycho's doing," Eggsy stated, "How many people around the world have got those SIM cards? Valentine can send his signal to any of them, all of them. If they go homicidal at the same time then..."
"Indeed, and thanks to Galahad's recordings... We have Valentine's confession," Arthur said, "The intelligence has been passed on to the relevant authorities. Our work is complete... and most distinguished legacy to our fallen friend, it is, too,"
"And that's it?" Eggsy remarked,
"Come sit down, boy," Arthur requested, and Eggsy did so as he sat down,
"This is an 1815 Napoleonic Brandy," Arthur explained as he grabbed the bottle "And we only drink it when we lose a Kingsman. Galahad was very fond of you,"
As Arthur reaches for the glass, Eggsy notices something from the back of Arthur's ear and it soon revealed that Arthur has the same implant scar at the back of his neck...
The audience gasped upon seeing the scar, and a few of them did not hesitate to express their thoughts about this.
"He has the same implant scar as that Professor!" Ruby remarked,
"Traitor!" Blake yelled,
"Scum!" Winter yelled,
"Harry trusted you!" Pyrrha yelled,
"I respected him for being the director of Kingsman," Ironwood clutches onto the armrest so hard, it would have broke into splinters, "Now, I am fully disappointed in him,"
Ozpin shares the same opinion as he frowned at Arthur's betrayal, he made him recall Lionheart's betrayal. But compared to him, Arthur's betrayal was much more despicable than his former ally...
The other audience shared their own disdain towards Arthur's betrayal and expressed them rather loudly. But eventually, they calmed down as they wanted to know where this would lead.
"And on this occasion, I think it's acceptable for us. To bend the rules a little," Arthur remarked as he poured the glasses,
"Are these all Kingsman?" Eggsy inquired as he pointed at the portraits on the wall,
Arthur turns towards the portraits on the walls, and so did the camera, "Yes, they're founder members,"
The audience was confused by this random but informative question, however, Neo knew better as she smiled at the true reason for Eggsy's intention.
Arthur turns back to Eggsy, and passes one of the glasses to Eggsy, "I want you to join me in a toast,"
Eggsy takes the glass and proposed a toast to Arthur, "To Galahad,"
"To Galahad," Eggsy said as he and Arthur drank the brandy together, then he leans against the chair, "Harry said you don't like to break rules, Arthur. Why now?"
"Perhaps I will make you my proposal for Galahad's position," Arthur remarked, "Provided, of course... that we can see eye to eye... on certain political matters,"
Arthur soon picks up a pen on the table and flips the switch, "Can you guess... what this is?"
"I don't have to. Harry showed me," Eggsy assured, "You click it. I die. I thought that brandy tasted a bit shit,"
"Bravo," Arthur praised,
"Arthur spiked the brandy? That's just mighty low of him," Qrow remarked,
"And that kind of poison can be remotely activated. I wonder how Eggsy will pull through this?" Penny wondered,
Neo snickers to herself, and Yang caught on to this behavior, "What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing, I'm just waiting for it to happen," Neo said,
"Waiting for what exactly?" Ren inquired,
"Just watch, you'll see what I mean," Neo said, and everyone seem to have listened to her as they turned back to the screen,
"Valentine won you over, somehow," Eggsy concluded,
"Once he explained, I understood," Arthur said,
Then the scene cuts to a flashback when Arthur is seen conversing with Valentine.
"When you get a virus, you get a fever. Planet Earth works the same way," Valentine explained, "Global Warming is the fever, Mankind is the virus. We're making our planet sick, a cull is our only hope. If we don't reduce our population ourselves, there's only one or two ways this can go. The host kills the virus, or the virus kills the host. Either way,"
The scene cuts back to Arthur, "The result is the same, the virus dies,"
With that, everyone soon learned of Valentine's plan. That and combined with the SIM Cards he mass-produced and distributed to the common people. It was a terrifying plan...
"He's going to reduce the population of Earth," Velvet said,
"By turning everyone homicidal," Coco added,
"At the same time..." Crim finished,
"Think of the damage and the life loss of this plan," Glynda remarked, "It's unfathomable,"
"And downright evil," Jaune added, and his friends nodded at that notion,
"I did tell you that Valentine isn't a hero," Crestin said, "And now you know why,"
Everyone gulp at Valentine's plan, and some even wondered what would happen if a plan like this occurs in Remnant. If such chaos were to happen, then the Grimm will not hesitate to locate the source of this and kill everyone as they kill each other.
What's even worse is that the victims of this plan will attack indiscriminately. Regardless of whether they're their friends or family...
As soon as their thoughts were wiped out of their minds, they continue with the movie.
"So Valentine's going to take care of the population problem himself," Eggsy concluded,
"Well, if we don't do something, nature will," Arthur remarked, "Sometimes a culling is the only way to ensure that this species survives... and history will see Valentine... as the man who saved humanity from extinction,"
"More like a madman who caused a mass genocide," Weiss remarked,
"And he gets to pick and choose who gets culled, does he?" Eggsy questioned, "All his rich mates, they get to live and anyone he thinks is worth saving, he's keeping them safe... Whether they agree with him or not,"
"And you, Eggsy," Arthur said, "In Harry's honor... I am inviting you to be a part of a new world. It's time to make your decision,"
Eggsy takes a moment to consider this offer, then he looks stare into Arthur's eyes, "I'd rather be with Harry. Thanks,"
"Loyal but Honorable," Ren remarked,
"If that doesn't show how much of a Kingsman Agent Eggsy is, I don't know what else will," Yang remarked,
"So be it," Arthur said, then activates the poison,
In a brief moment of silence, Eggsy looks down at his stomach and then back at Arthur. That's when it happened as Arthur flinched and grunted in utter pain.
"There it is!" Neo proudly pointed out, "That's where Arthur made his mistake,"
Everyone else was taken aback by this, then they continue to watch as they wanted to know what happened.
"The problem for us common types, we're light-fingered," Eggsy explained as he picks up the glass, "Kingsman's taught me a lot... but sleight of hand..."
The scene cuts to the part where Arthur answers Eggsy's question, but what was seen is Eggsy quickly switching the glasses.
Eggsy leans forward with his fingers clasped together, "I had that down already,"
"You dirty little fucking... prick," Arthur cursed, then falls on the table dead,
"He got what he deserved," Emerald remarked,
"What comes around, goes around!" Nora loudly yelled,
"Though I don't condone such actions, I will make an exception since Arthur betrayed the agency," Ironwood remarked,
"You could say that again," Qrow added before continuing the movie,
With Arthur dead, Eggsy inspects the scar, removes the cap of the ballpoint pen, and punctures the scar much to the audience's disgust. He then carefully opened it up and pulled out what looks like a chip.
As Eggsy stares at it, he then hears Arthur's phone ringing and checks it. Once opened, he saw Valentine's countdown for V-Day which was six hours, the notification for his friends to get to a safe zone, and the optional invitation and coordinates to Valentine's safe zone.
The camera pans to the back of the phone, then it is lowered to reveal Merlin's stunned expression as he was informed of Valentine's plan.
"It's okay, Lancelot. Put it down, it's verified," Merlin ordered, as Roxy was holding up a gun at Eggsy, whose hands were up after taking the tube to Kingsman Headquarters.
"I am never going to get used to Eggsy getting pointed by a gun," Jaune remarked,
"Especially when the person holding it is a close friend," Ren added,
Roxy lowers her gun, and Merlin continues, "Arthur's phone is receiving update texts about getting to safety. We don't have a lot of time,"
"What are you going do?" Eggsy inquired,
"The question is, what are we going to do?" Merlin specified, "God knows who's in Valentine's pocket and who's not. We have no choice. We are gonna have to deal with this ourselves,"
The three of them looked at each other, then Eggsy and Roxy look towards Merlin, "Follow me,"
With that, the two followed Merlin and just outside Kingsman's Headquarters, the ground opens big enough for a plane to take off and head towards Valentine's safe zone.
"Six hours and three people on a mission. That's quite a lot of pressure, but I'm sure they'll pull it off," Yang optimistically said,
"Hopefully," Weiss added,
"But before we all continue with the movie. Are there any questions that you'd like to ask Mr. Hartwood today?" Crestin inquired, "Any questions regarding his semblance is off topic since he keeps it a secret,"
"I have one," Ozpin said, "Your performance in Beacon, I would like to know how you're faring with your classes and your performance as a huntsman,"
"I am also quite curious about how you fared with the Academy in Mantle," Ironwood added
"So you want to know how I fare up with my grades and performance," Crim inquired, and the two headmasters nodded once, "Very well then. But I'll go with Mantle first before Beacon. My Grades are well-founded, but when it comes to Performance as a Huntsman. They considered me as a prodigy, especially when I have a track record of finishing missions rather quickly than average students,"
"Really?" Ruby questioned,
"Yes, but when it comes to social interactions... I'm not much of a social kind of guy as I usually keep things to myself and the only people I've ever interacted with were my sisters, Cinder and Snow," Crim revealed,
"You never had friends?" Weiss inquired,
"Not until I went to Beacon," Crim stated,
"But why? You seem such a nice guy," Nora remarked,
"Thanks, but in truth, I'm quite terrifying to my peers," Crim then points two fingers towards his red eyes, "Especially when they get a look at these pair of eyes I have,"
The students seem unsettled with Crim's words, and the latter lowers his hand at the mere sight of their faces, "See what I mean?"
"Okay... we get your point," Yang said,
"As for Beacon Academy, I lighten up a little, kept my performance above average, and started taking more responsibilities besides being the team leader of CPST," Crim explained, "Because of that, I volunteered to become Beacon Academy's School Representative, The Academy's Prefect for maintain and enforce discipline, I even acted as a role model for the other Academies since I was the one who fought and won in the Vytal Festival Tournament Finals,"
"That's a heavy burden you carry, Mr. Hartwood," Ozpin remarked, "But how do you manage it all, especially when it may conflict with your studies, performance, and your team,"
"I manage on what's important and what isn't," Crim admitted, "But my team, studies, and the state of Beacon Academy are my utmost priorities. Anything outside of that, I take into consideration whether I should attend to it or not."
"Does that mean you've been in live interviews and commercials?" Pyrrha questioned,
"Those things? No, I'm not that interested in promoting brands and merchandise," Crim said, "Try as they might, I'd always refuse their invitation and offers,"
"Huh..." Weiss sounded,
"That is all the questions you may ask about Crim for now. Let us continue with the movie," Crestin declared, and everyone turns back to the screen as they want to see how three people will stop Valentine's plan.
That is it for this chapter, and I'm sorry it took so long to update. But rest assured, I will try to finish this as soon as possible.
Now before you go, there are some things I would elaborate on all of you first. The details regarding Crim in here and previous chapters aren't final and I just might revise them if I take the time to consider it.
Second, you may all wonder what react fic I might consider working on next. Well, I'm afraid that information is a secret. So feel free to guess what that franchise is.
And lastly, I want your thoughts on this. I wrote a lot of stuff in the past few years and at some point, I want to do more for myself. As such, I want to make an original story in the future and possibly earn some money via donations from people who may want to support my work. I will listen to any and all criticism and learn from them, I will try my best to keep up with people's interests, and I will try my best to become a better writer as I go by.
These are merely a few things I want to admit to you all, and I'll accept any thoughts on the matter. Whether they are good or bad...
That is all I have to say, stay safe from the virus, and I will see you all in the next chapter!
