4:00 AM
Grand Pulse, Nightview Mountain
Afton Facility B3 – Containment Room
Cue Theme: Kyrie - Parasite Eve OST
"Finally…..it is ready…." William said while looking at his creation.
The modified FazArmor 3 suit was ready for use.
"Soon the world will never forget my name….." William said.
"Everything I have spent my life working on, has led to this." He continued as he put on the suit, the helmet with rabbit ears now in his hands.
He looked at the monitor of his desktop computer nearby to see his family escaping to an OAOS helicopter outside the building on the first floor in the front yard, with Elizabeth leading them.
"How…what? No….no, how…did they escape?" William said.
"Jason…he was supposed to be guarding them!" William said in anger. He tried radioing Jason and got no response, until he cycled through monitors and found Jason dead in the B4 Testing Room.
"No….this can't be happening. I had everything set." William said.
He cycled to the camera's on B6 to see Eclipse, his most trusted associate and fellow researcher in the dock area below the facility leading to the waters, making preparations to leave. He then looked at the cameras of the lower levels to find Longjack and Basegirl dead along with the remaining human members of the Afton Security Force.
His empire was crumbling, becoming a mini fall of Rome.
"This is can't be correct. I misjudged or miscalculated? No it's not possible. I should have foreseen this and had a plan in place to deal with it, this can't be." William said.
He looked at the monitor again to see Eclipse leaving, and seemingly sending a text to someone on his mobile device before getting in the submarine and closing the hatch. The vessel descended into the fridged waters of the pacific.
"Who is he talking to?" William asked.
William looks through the other camera's in the facility, to see Gregory with the glamrocks, who appear to look a little damaged with holes in their clothes and injuries to their silicone shells. Some of them holding their stomach or shoulder and limping, with OAOS agents assisting them with maintaining balance. Gregory was helping them get seated into OAOS helicopters that came to pick them up. A bloody and battered Vanessa with Cassidy was seen assisting them as well.
"Gregory….Cassidy…..this is all your fault. It's always Cassidy that can't let me be…just like old times. Gregory the child that caused problems for me during the incident. He will suffer, he will parish, I will drink from their skulls." William said.
He saw Gregory looking down at his phone. Vanessa looking with him. They smiled seeing the text and then high fived.
"No….no way….. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" William shouted.
"Vanessa…..I tried to give you another chance. But I judged you correctly the first time, I will end you granddaughter. But most of all I will end you Gregory and Cassidy. And this time Cassidy, you will not come back." William said.
He then saw an OAOS agent ushering them into one of the helicopters. Vanessa was seen pulling on Gregory and Cassidy to come with her. But both of them shook their heads at her.
Vanessa pointed to her watch and showed them.
William leaned into the monitor more.
Gregory and Cassidy hugged Vanessa. William could not see much other than Gregory saying: "See you on the other side."
Suddenly a warning went off in the facility. A voice over the PA system aired.
"Island Destruction protocol has been activated. 30 minutes until Island Self-Destruction occurs. Evacuate immediately." A female AI voice said.
Time Remaining 30:00'00
"Eclipse….he…..no….he has ruined me! And he was working with Gregory and Vanessa!?" William was now enraged.
"Fine….I have lost everything, but I will make sure they do too. No one will have a good Christmas in Hurricane. And that is just the start!" William said flipping a switch on a console that required the turn of two keys.
"I may be gone by the end of tonight, but I will live on through my nanomachines, in each and every human they enter." William shouted as he initiated a missile launch.
Time Remaining Island Self-Destruction 29:45'77
Time Remaining Until Missile Impact 25:00'00
He smiled on looking at the missile leave the silo. And the shocked looks on everyone's faces outside.
"This is my final Christmas present to you family. We will be together. In the next plain of existence." William said.
He smiled and then exited the room, not before picking up a photo frame of his wife and kissing it before setting it down as he put the helmet of his suit on and entered the elevator in the hallway going back to the first floor lobby.
