Date: Saturday 22nd June 2013
Time: 22:15
Location: Carlin Street, Chamberlain, Maine
Walking along the street towards her house, the Bloodified Prom Queen: Carrie White, was crying and sobbing, realizing all that those at her school prom, students, and teachers, that were all now dead… all because of her… her and her powers… Even though Carrie knew Chris Hargensen, along with all her friends, had humiliated her, resulting in her recent actions, it was still no excuse for Carrie to do all that she had just committed…
As Carrie reached her house, she looked down at her hands, covered in dry Pig's Blood, all from Chris's prank… even though it wasn't human blood, to Carrie, it felt like the blood of nearly everyone at her school, was now all over her hands… Carrie then collapsed to the ground, crying into her hands, in Grief… in Guilt… in Sorrow… even after all they had done to her, Carrie didn't truly want them all dead, she just wanted them all to stop being how they were to her, and just accept her for who she was, or just leave her alone… Pouring Blood on her was the worst they ever did to her, even worse than her gym class period meltdown… But killing her Prom Date: Tommy Ross, was last straw… and the final nail on the coffins of everyone there…
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry everyone… I'm so sorry…" Carrie sobbed, lying on the ground, not caring what would happen to her next, whether she would be found by the authorities, arrested, or executed, or both… or even her mama coming out, and locking her in the prayer closet for an extremely long time… if not forever…
Carrie soon stopped sobbing, as she could sense someone… or some people, standing over her… Carrie's first assumption, was that it would be either her mama, or the authorities, or again, both even, but as Carrie turned to see who it was… it was neither of who she predicted… instead, standing over her, was Homelander & Queen Maeve… Carrie gasped, while almost instantly rolling over onto her back, and quickly got back up onto her feet, in a defensive position, as her eyes glowed a Crimson Red aura again…
"Hey, it's ok, Honey…" Maeve said, trying to reach out to Carrie peacefully…
"Stay Back!" Carrie whimpered aggressively, trying to keep herself from causing more danger to anyone else…
"There's no need to be defensive kid…" Homelander said, also trying to get to Carrie, but not as peacefully as Maeve, as he tried to step towards Carrie…
"I SAID STAY BACK!" Carrie screamed, causing her to send another Red Aura shockwave towards Homelander and Maeve, sending them both flying back, crashing into a couple of Cars, while causing other cars alarms to sound loudly…
Homelander then got back up, as if crashing into a car was nothing, alongside Maeve…
"Wow… Just Wow… she's got some moves." Homelander joked sarcastically.
"This is no time for jokes Homelander, she's in a bad state, she's not exactly gonna come quietly like this…" Maeve said in a stern tone, trying to defuse the situation, before it got worse…
"I… I… I-I didn't mean that… J-Just… P-P-Please… Leave me alone…" Carrie whimpered and stuttered, expecting worse to come...
"Well… You certainly are starting to prove to be a fight worth fighting." Homelander said in a mixture of sternness and amazement, as his eyes glowed red, prepping to use his heat vision, while giving an impressed smile…
Before Homelander and Carrie could continue… More costumed people appeared, appearing to back him & Maeve up…
One Zoomed in out of nowhere at an incredible speed, he had Dark skin, Brown eyes, & short black hair and stubble. He wore a short-sleeved bodysuit, in multiple blue colors, Transparent Body armour pieces, with the letter A on the shoulders, waist belt, and boots, he also wore long Blue fingerless gloves, and Blue matching goggles. (A-Train)
Another walked in, he had Caucasian skin, blue eyes, Brown hair and stubble. He wore a Green and Golden-brown zip front aquatic bodysuit, and Brown amphibious Gloves and boots. (The Deep)
Also walking in, one appeared to just be a grey boilersuit, with red trim. (Translucent)
The last one, was also Caucasian, with blonde hair and Stubble, and blue eyes. He wore Black Leather body armour, Black leather pants, knee high Boots, and a hooded Cloak like jacket, with yellow trim, Protective googles, and black fingerless gloves on his hands, while holding a large golden staff, with a burning lamp on the top. (Lamplighter)
Carrie was really scared, as her red eyes and auras began to increase in power, determined not to be tricked again and defend herself, and to take down these people, who looked like they were going to hurt her again, or even kill her…
(Meanwhile, Inside the White's Residence…)
Margaret White had been waiting for Carrie to come home from the prom, unaware of all that had happened, but still predicted something bad would happen. Margaret was completely against Carrie going to prom from the moment she told her she had been invited, due to her mental illness, that Carrie knew, but never truly knew why, as Margaret had kept everything secret, although she was mentally ill, she was keeping it from Carrie, in hopes that Carrie would be safe… But as Carrie's powers had begun to manifest, her illness, combined with her heavily religious catholic beliefs, had driven her to believe Carrie was now possessed by the Devil himself… and believed to only way now to save Carrie… was to kill her…
Margaret could hear a commotion happening outside, and recognized one of the voices as Carrie's… Margaret then power marched towards the front door, with a kitchen knife in her right hand, ready to kill Carrie, and whoever else was out there… but as she opened and swung the front door open, she gasped in shock and horror… standing right Infront of her, on the front porch, was Black Noir…
Margaret almost instantly went for a stab at the Black armored and masked assailant stood before her, but Noir instantly grabbed her right arm, which was holding the knife with such force, before walking Margaret backwards into the house, as she whimpered in pain, before Noir closed the door behind him... Noir then threw Margaret Into the prayer closet door with more force, making her hit the door in the crucifix stance, causing her to drop the knife… before Margaret could move, Noir threw one of his own knives into her left wrist, pinning it to the door, as Margaret groaned in absolute pain, trying to scream… Noir then threw another of his knives into Margaret's right wrist, pinning it to the door also, before he picked Margaret's knife, walked up to the groaning woman, covered her mouth with his left hand, muting her, as tears formed in her eyes, and slowly dribbled down her face… before Black Noir instantly slit her throat, as Blood quickly poured from both her mouth & throat, causing Margaret to splutter and choke to death… Black Noir then put Margaret's knife down, before removing his knives from her pinned wrists, causing Margaret to fall to the floor lifelessly… Noir then took Margaret's knife again, before placing it into Margaret's right hand, to make it look like Margaret's mental illness had driven her to suicide… before Black Noir left the house through the front door, to join the rest of the Seven against Carrie…
(At Thomas Ewen High School…)
Firefighters were fighting the fire with all the water from their fire engines and water hoses, trying all they could to stop the fire from spreading, while Paramedics were tending to the wounded, as well as the Deceased from Carrie's rampage, as well as the Police & Detectives, who were questioning witnesses and survivors about what had happened and what they saw, as well as to determine the cause of the incident, though many were so traumatized or injured from what had happened, for those who were still alive, they either couldn't remember much from all the panic, or couldn't describe what happened, as what they saw was too terrifying to describe… among those who were being questioned about the incident, were Sue Snell, Rita Desjardin, George Dawson & Erika Gogan, who were all shocked & Traumatized from what happened, they also were in mourning for Tommy's death, not at Carrie's hand. When being questioned by the police and Detectives about Carrie, they gave all they knew, including all the times Chris & all her friends, including Sue herself, as well as Chris's message to Sue, minutes before she was preparing to dump the bucket of blood on Carrie, as she was crowned queen of the prom, but tried to make it look like that Carrie was not involved with what had happened. The Police and Detectives believed from what Sue, Rita, George & Erika had told them, regarding Chris's prank, as well as her friends involvement, but as they had found, and identified nearly all of Chris and her friends, and several others who bullied and tormented Carrie the worst, all among the deceased, it was hard for them to determine that Carrie was entirely innocent, and needed to find & question Carrie, to know her side of the story…
"Where did Carrie go after you saw her leave the stage, Miss Desjardin?" Sheriff Doyle asked Rita.
"I-I couldn't see where she went, the fire was getting so tense, I couldn't see her through the smoke and panicking students & teachers…" Rita replied nervously, traumatized from everything.
"We couldn't see her either, especially through everyone who was panicking and running, trying to escape." Erika added in, as George agreed with her.
Sue agreed too, though she was still in mourning & regret, not just for Tommy, but for all she had done to Carrie over the years, alongside her now late and former friends. Sue was the least bad in the 'Mortimer Snerds' group, but despite being part of those who had tormented Carrie for so long… Sue had secretly developed an interest in Carrie over the years, though she wasn't 100% sure of it, not to mention what she thought Tommy would think if he found out, that teamed with the guilt of the gym class incident, leading to her asking Tommy to Carrie to the prom, instead of her Sue herself… but now… Sue wished she'd gone with Carrie & Tommy aswell… they could have all enjoyed a great night all together, even if Chris still arrived for the prank, there could have been a better chance of preventing it… but it was too late now… Tommy and almost all the school was dead… the Least Sue believed she, Miss Desjardin, George, and Erika could do now, was help Carrie the best they could, as well as give Tommy a good sendoff…
Suddenly, Loud bangs and crashing noises sounded, not far from the school, causing most of those in the area to jump and scream in fright, as they all, including Sue, Rita, George & Erika to turn and see what was going on…
Out of nowhere, Carrie came flying, before crashing into a part of the school, where the fire had been put out, causing it to collapse on top of her…
"CARRIE!" Sue screamed in horror, as she tried to run towards where Carrie crashed into, determined to help her, but was held back by 2 cops, until Rita followed, to release and calm Sue down… Rita wanted to do the same as Sue, to try and help Carrie, despite everything, knowing how much bullying & torment Carrie had endured over the years, and that not enough had been done to stop it… This all made Rita feel just as helpless as Sue felt…
The Seven then all appeared before where Carrie had crashed into, looking to see if Carrie was still alive, or had been killed upon impact, as some people also did, as well as cops, firefighters & Paramedics… When suddenly… a large red blast exploded from the wreckage, sending everyone, including the Seven flying back… most of the people were injured from parts of debris, if not the explosion, while the Seven all endured it…
Standing before everyone, from the explosion point, was a Red auraed floating Carrie white, with aggressive glowing red eyes… Carrie wasted no time and began lifting large bits of debris with her powers, as well as throw red energy bolts, throwing them all at the Seven. Most of the seven dodged Carrie attacks or deflected or destroyed them with their own powers, Carrie even caused the ground beneath everyone, to crack & tremble like an earthquake. Carrie gave as much as she could to protect herself, thinking no one in the world cared about her at all… but she faintly heard the telepathic sounds of Sue Snell & Rita Desjardin, calling and crying out to her, trying to get her to calm down and stop… but as she got distracted, she felt a strong hit, as Homelander took this opportunity to defeat her, as Carrie was sent crashing through the school again, this time into the part of the school gym hall, that was still burning…
Carrie crashed through the walls, and crash landed back into the stage, where everything before had happened… Carrie tried to move and stay awake, but the impact and heat caused her to quickly blackout…
From seeing this, people began to cheer and clap for the Seven, seeing that they had defeated Carrie, and saved what was left of Chamberlain and its residence, but Sue & Rita screamed and cried in grief and horror, knowing they had just defeated an innocent girl…
Among the Seven, Queen Maeve noticed Sue and Rita's cries, knowing that what Homelander and the rest of the Seven had done was wrong… without thinking, Maeve ran for the school, smashing her way through the remains of the school, until she reached the still burning gym hall…
"Carrie? Carrie!" Maeve called through the burning hall… until she saw Carrie lying in the wreckage of the stage…
Maeve quickly got to Carrie, before quickly checking her pulse, it was faint, but there was life still in Carrie's body… Maeve managed to pull the still unconscious Carrie from the stage, as Homelander came in, followed by firefighters and paramedics…
"Is she dead?" Homelander asked.
"She got lucky… you really didn't have put her through the school like that!" Maeve said sternly.
Maeve then lay Carrie on a stretcher, before being covered with a white cover… Although Carrie was still alive, The Seven had different ideas for her…
As the fire was finally put out, Homelander and Maeve come out, followed by paramedics and firefighters, who wheeled out Carrie's stretcher, as all those outside, watched in silence… Sue and Rita, along with George and Erika, cried in silence, as tears slowly flowed and dribbled down their faces, as Carrie's 'Dead' Body was loaded into an ambulance, before taking her body off to the morgue…
But as the ambulance was moving… Carrie shot up in a gasp…
