Chapter 20
Life after death
Week 5: Day 29
(Velvet's POV)
Everyone was anxiously awaiting the doctor's results. We've been sitting in the waiting room of this hospital for the past eighteen hours while Johnathan was being worked on. They told us that he was in really bad shape when we first arrived, but with each passing minute we all grew worried for him.
Rhody was tapping her foot on the floor and biting her bottom lip. RWBY and JNPR were mostly silent, Nora wasn't anywhere near as energetic or rambunctious as she normally is. According to Ren, she was in a rare calm and heavily worried state. Other three members of CFVY were sitting in chairs waiting as well. Coco was a little mad we got in a big fight without her, but that changed when she heard Johnathan was dying. Alice was leaning against a wall with her helmet on a coffee table. Serena was holding a sleeping Elaia on her lap. I was beside her waiting for the doctors to give us any type of news. Cole was fast asleep on a waiting room sofa. Mu was hiding in my Scroll, she didn't want anyone finding her without Johnathan to protect her. I was pacing around the room with Johnathan's tags and Helmet in my hands.
Almost everyone was bandaged or had some type of sling or cast. Weiss had a eye patch bandage to help heal her new scar, Nora chipped a tooth or two when she bit the Elite, as well as a minor back injury so she has to wear something in her mouth to fix her chipped teeth. Everyone else who engaged in the fight had basically the same treatment.
Poor Ruby was completely shattered. Her pride and joy was broken, she is able to salvage some of it but would take a while to get a new barrel long and strong enough for her to use. The strength required to snap her beloved Scythe like that must have been insane, that Elite was toying with them. Could have killed everyone there in a instant with that much strength but it didn't.
The waiting room we were in wasn't too bad. Eggshell white wall and everything really. TV with the news covering the fight earlier. Even showing the last part of Johnathan's fight. Hopelessly outnumbered, out matched, and out everything really. It was painful to watch but we lost the remote to change the channel, Blake was desperately trying to find it. I asked Mu how they got a hold of it but all she did was whistle and disappear on my Scroll. Same Bear faunus news girl from the Rex rampage was doing the story. Headline wasn't that surprising.
Grimm, Alien, or Terrorist attack?
The TV showed Johnathan deflecting energy swords while on a metal shutter, literally on one fighting a vertical battle like it was normal. It was showing it from a weird angle but it showed the fight never the less. It was painful to watch him push himself so far as blood trickled out from so many areas, yet he kept fighting.
"The event that happened a Beacon earlier this morning could only be described as a student's desperate fight for the lives for his friends. Local student, Johnathan Ian Grey, is seen fighting and holding off some alien like beings from another world, horrifically out numbered fifteen to one, not having his aura unlocked, and with multiple nearly fatal injuries for a unknown amount of time. Headmaster Ozpin informed us that he was aware of the severity of the situation and locked down the entire school for the student's protection. Johnathan willingly went to fend them off, according to undisclosed sources, to defend his friends and family. When the fight seemed to be too much for him, Ozpin stated that 'He sent only the best of the best to his aid'. He sent former special forces agent, Senior Chief Petty Officer Alice Treske, to his aid. Very little is known about her. Parts of freshmen teams Ruby, Juniper, Freelancer, one member of Coffee, and a unknown individual, also engaged in the fight near the end. They successfully thwarted the attack and sent one hurtling over a cliff to it's certain death.
"Unfortunately for the brave student, they didn't arrive in time to save him from the worst. Theories suggest that near the end of his fight, he pushed himself way to far and his body couldn't handle the strain. The alien beings threw him through a wall and then into their group, where they mercilessly tortured him. His friends and family has respectfully requested that we don't show that part and to keep their names undisclosed. It is unknown whether he will pull through or not. We at the station send them our deepest condolences in his speedy recovery. Everyone is asking the same questions. Where did these beings come from, is there going to be a revenge attack..." The woman informed before the screen went black. Rhode unplugged the TV as Blake sighed with relief.
"I hate mass media. They always over dramatizing everything, never giving all the facts before they start blow steam." She explained walking back to her spot as the operating doors opened. Rather small, blue haired woman walked through and took off the operating mask. Her blue eyes told me that the news isn't going to be pleasant. Everyone looked up as she let out a sigh. White medical gown was covered in soaked through blood. Looked to be in her mid to late thirties. I don't like the looks of this.
"I got good news and I got bad news, which do you want to hear first?" Nurse Peach asked.
"I've been in this exact situation a couple thousand times before. Bad news first, don't sugar coat anything." Serena replied lightly shaking Elaia to wake her up.
"He was extremely difficult to work with. Every time we fixed something, two more things went wrong. We set his broken bone and then suddenly his kidneys and liver start failing. We fix those and two more things pop up each. He had multiple puncture wounds that are cauterized and seared his insides to the bone. His bones were denser then we thought was physically possible, muscles were too unlike anything we've ever seen. He has both surgical and battle scars littering his body, more I've ever seen on one person, and I fixed up Hunters who went against class extremely high classed Grimm before. I can't think of a explanation on how any of that should be there for someone his age. And a whole lot more I can't explain with frightening the kid in the room." She explained.
"What's the good news? Is daddy going to be okay?" Elaia asked biting her claws. The doc smiled and looked Elaia in the eyes, eyes full of hope. Here comes the good news.
"Your daddy is going to be okay. He's alive, no idea when he'll be awake but he's alive. Just got out of surgery half hour ago." She informed making everyone in the room let out the deep breath we were holding in. "We managed to stabilize him. He won't be able to leave for at least a week after he wakes up for observation, two weeks max."
He's alive, thank Monty he's alive! I closed my eyes and smiled upon hearing this good news. Monty has been listening to our prayers.
"May we see him?" Serena asked picking Elaia up.
"You may but only one at a time. But I should warn you, he's not is good shape. I d on't advise the kid seeing him like this." She explained.
"Well, you're the one he's in love with Velv, you should see him first." Rhode suggested. I looked around as everyone else agreed. Nora tried to say something but couldn't get it out. The Doc held the door open as I walked through nervously. He can't be too bad right? Doctors will fix him up. . . somehow. She showed me to him room with the door closed.
"He won't be able to respond but you can try to talk to him." She informed opening the door. The layout was like you would expect a hospital room to look like, with Johnathan laying on a bed near the window with the nine o'clock sun shining down on his body. His body was covered in so many blood soaked bandages and casts that I almost didn't recognize him. His robotic arm and face were the only things not in a cast or bandage. He was hooked up to a breathing mask and had so many IV needles in him. AB+ blood bag hanging from a pole. "I'll give you a few minutes alone with him." With that, she closed the door and left me alone with the man who gave so much to protect me.
"Hey Johnathan. It's me, Velvet." I softly said pulling up a chair and sat beside his unconscious form. I put his helmet on a table beside me and held his tags in his robot hand. Mu popped up next to his helmet and nodded. I took a deep breath and continued. "There's so much I want to tell you but I don't know where to start. So let me start by saying thank you. . ."
(Johnathan's POV)
Unknown place
So this is Hell, or this worlds version of hell. Lot less fiery then I imagined. In fact a lot more nothing then I imagined. I could barely see my hand in front of my face. Even with my near perfect night vision I couldn't see anything. I could barely hear my own floor steps as I started walking on something solid, I was only in my combat suit with no weapons. Strangely enough my robot arm came to Hell with me, fucking figures. Going to be damned for all eternity and I still won't feel nothing with my arm. I was looking forward to feeling the fire between my fingers as they burned off damn it! I want to feel anything with that arm again, even if it's pain at lest it's something!
"Hello!" I yelled. Nothing, just empty echos. Well no one knows what Hell was really like. Every universe's form of hell I been to was different. One was like a scorching desert with a water hole always looking like within reach, another made the frozen plains of Hoth look like a tropical vacation in comparison, so I must be in this world's form of hell. Pure nothingness, where you'd drive yourself insane from lack of things to see or do. Just my freaking luck.
A blinding light erupted in front of me similar to a Multiverse portal. I shielded my eyes and looked again. It was like a portal, only it showed something on the other side. Me and Davian Nemesis standing back to back as we fought of wave after wave of Flood bastards. I was in my MJOLNIR suit with the shields still on it. Davian was in his Destiny armor. Justicar's mask, Rake Vindicator guantlets, Exodus Vest, Rustburner leg armor, some type hunter cloak with a snake on the back. I had my pistols out duel welding as I took out what I can, he had his Murmur fusion rifle out firing away into the horde around us. I can faintly hear the sound of gunfire from the portal despite it being few inches away. I remember that day, He followed me to the Halo-Verse to see what the other universe Bungie made is like. He has a average understanding of the Multiverse, we've been through four universes; Halo, Skyrim, Rosario + Vampire (Never going back again. . . EVER! Inner Moka scares the living shit out of me even more then Tex does. That there says something), and Marathon.
Serena kind of made a mistake and landed us on instillation 02. On another note, Mu had a floating light bulb to move around in for like two minutes. The monitor of that instillation has a spare body some reason, let Mu use it so she can help her contain the flood. Almost lost her to the Flood that day, Davian and I parted ways after the vampire universe. Said that his universe was where he belonged, his world was under attack and needed him so his vacation was up. I respected his decision and gave him a plasma pistol I kept from the Halo universe as souvenir of his adventure. Haven't spoken with him since. That was like what. . . two years ago. Little after I got back from the Freelancer program.
It faded away as I touched it. Another one erupted beside me. This one showed me and Serena growing up. We were so little, so innocent. We were no more then what, seven. Serena and I were in a boat with rather large lift vests on. We had pretty shitty luck then, but there was one thing dad taught us that will always stick, it is to make the most with what you have. The family car wouldn't work and we couldn't go to a movie, so he took us fishing. We weren't fishing legally but it was technically legal will we get caught. Nothing is wrong with catch and release, I was making the fish smarter, give me a bit while I figure out how.
It was those moments I will cherish forever. It didn't matter how much money we had or how much he spent on us, what mattered was the time he spent with us. Whether it was Go-Kart racing or simply a day on the lake fishing. He didn't remarry after mom died. When I asked him, he told me 'she was a woman unlike any other. Simply out of this world. There is no one else in this universe that can replace her in my heart'. At the time I didn't understand what he meant. Took me a while to finally get it. Cheesy I know but she meant a lot to him. Think at one point he said she gave up something very personal to her just to be with him. He told me that if I find a woman who is willing to give up everything to be with me, willing to talk out our problems like adults, can make me laugh and genuinely happy, that I found a keeper and to not let her go. And if I must let her go, have it be peacefully and on good terms, yet still be her silent protector and friend.
I closed my eyes and let a tear fall down as I remembered those times, they were the best. Just the three of us, no MERC breathing down my neck, no worry of certain death and a uncertain tomorrow, dad spending time with us and slowly teaching us how to be responsible adults from a young age yet making it fun. I have yet to figure out how the hell he made doing taxes look fun to a twelve year old, yet he did it some how. It slowly faded away as younger me reeling in a rather large looking catfish.
"Hey Johnathan." A familiar voice echoed. "It's me, Velvet." I turned around to see another portal showing my body in a hospital bed, hooked up to all sorts of weird shit, Velvet was sitting in a chair giving my robotic hand something. My helmet was on a table with the visor full of spider web cracks. I don't remember this.
"Hello?" I said walking toward the portal. She looked to have been crying, quite a lot if the redness of her eyes are anything to go by. Mu popped up beside my helmet and nodded to Velvet. She took a deep breath and continued.
"There's so much I want to tell you but I don't know where to start. So let me start by saying thank you." She said holding my hand with hers. "Thank you for doing so much to protect me, to make me happy, and helping everyone out where you could. I couldn't ask for a better friend even if I wanted to. I need to get a few things straight with you. I know you can't hear me but I need to get it off my chest." I raised a eyebrow and kept watching. "You're not a freak, not in any sense of the word. You're an amazing guy; you give so much yet you ask for nothing in return, not even a thank you. You willingly went to sacrifice yourself to keep your friends and family alive. You're a fun guy, great father to Elaia, an amazing friend, and you can be a damn good Hunter if you wanted to. There isn't anyone else I rather give my heart to then you." She said wiping a tear from her eye.
"Velv.." I softly said reaching forward to touch the portal. Unlike the other one, this one slowly faded as my hand touched it. Felt like touching a glass ball from a physic reading.
"I love you Johnathan." She said kissing my forehead as the portal slowly faded. "Take all the time you need to rest and heal, you earned at least a little bit of peace. We'll be waiting" She got up and began walking away as it faded away.
Yep, this is definitely Hell. Forcing me to watch clips of my past and a bit of the present when I am hopeless to stop or interact with them. Pains me to see Velvet cry, hurts me deeply. I stood there waiting for another portal to pop up yet nothing. I huffed out a sigh and sat down with my legs cross.
"Always hurts to watch them cry." A new voice spoke behind me. Probably another portal. I didn't bother turning around as I sighed again. "I know your line of work is hard, you seen and done shit that would drive people crazy just thinking about it. Value your friends lives greatly, even went as far as to give up your own to save them. But did you stop and think what your sacrifice would do to them?" Okay that is a little creepy. I looked behind me to find that I wasn't alone. It was a Asian looking guy, dark hair, tank skin, black jacket and pants. Wait a second, he looks very familiar. "Hi, I'm Monty Oum." He introduced holding his hand out. I shook his hand as I got up. Now I remember who he is.
"Johnathan Grey." I introduced. "Ain't you the animator from Rooster Teeth that changed the face of Red vs Blue, created RWBY, and amazing dancer?" I asked. He nodded in agreement with a smile. "What the heck are you doing in Hell with me? Figured you would be reincarnated or something like that?"
"You're not dead., and this isn't Hell." He replied. "You're just having near death experience, we're in your subconscious sort of. Hard to explain. I'm here to give you incite on your current situation. But I'm sure you got questions so fire away."
Makes sense now that I think about it, had near death experiences a lot more times then I care to admit. Most of them I don't remember, well one or two was in a hellish wasteland where I felt lie dying then and there. Well I only got one to ask.
"Only question I got. How are you here, shouldn't you be in your universe's heaven?" I asked. I'm curious as ever, I heard somewhere that he died back in February, or was it January? I can never keep up with what is going on in my universe, I gave up and ignore the world. Monty smiled as a portal erupted in front of us. It showed Velvet once again, only this time she was under a tree crying with the peach flowers falling all around her. He put a hand on the portal as it started glowing yellow. He smiled as purple sparks floated all around her.
"I am in Heaven yet in Hell. I get to watch one of my creations come to life in front of my eyes. Every character I made being real living, breathing beings with their own sense of free will. It's every animator's secret dream. At first I thought this was a elaborate joke, took a few days to come to terms that this is all as real and happening. When I first saw the main Universe come to life in front of me, I nearly had a heart attack. Some dude in a black suit came said I was the God of this 'sector'. Told me to have fun and enjoy my eternal life. For a while I mainly walked around, watching my creations go about their normal days like it is nothing. Found out I can view them like a movie, fast forward and rewinding time in their to view particular moments or to see what will happen, I can even change a few things if I focus hard enough." He explained as a portal erupted by Velvet.
"What does this have to do with me? Why am I even here?" I asked. He smiled as past me went sliding through the portal and into a tree. Looking back on it, I probably could have stuck the landing better.
"That is kind of hard to explain. Let me explain something first" He explained as past me searched the area. "Every single one of them, the characters I animated and created, I love like my own children. Hurts every time I see one cry, even worse when they die or suffer. That is the part that makes this feel like Hell. This universe in particular, I couldn't stand watching.
"Velvet is like the middle child of any family in this universe. Calm, a bit timid, feels forgotten and unloved by many. Sure her team loves her like a sister, but in this universe it isn't enough compared to what she has to deal with." He explained as the portal and me vanished from the scene, Velvet still crying under the tree. "Temporally taking you're arrival and interference out of the picture. You'll see why in a bit." The scene on the portal went by really fast and to the cafeteria incident, with Cardin pulling on Velvet's ears. Being reminded of that made my blood boil. Cardin's a dead man when I get back. He's lucky the Rex was back home when Rhode told me the full story, he would have been a appetizer for the Rex other wise. Almost fed him to Azula till I remembered she gets stomach pains after eating human. For some reason, it doesn't agree with her system.
"In this universe the bully problem is worse then normal, students do even less to stop them. She still doesn't tell her team because she feels it is her problem. RWBY and JNPR want to help, but can't because Cardin is, excuse my french, bigger asshole then normal because people do less to stop him and he has blackmail materiel on most of them because of it. Her problem only got worse from there." He informed. It went by a lot faster. It was showing assholes prosperously bumping into Velvet and kicking her books away, shooting spitballs in her rabbit ears, even a few chasing after her for her feet. I only remember the spitball one. They learned that I shoot back more accurately and a lot faster. Shot a dozen or so out of the air before it hit her, and returned it to sender with a lot more force. 90MPH spitball to the forehead definitely leaves some bruises. Never got caught. "It go bad, really bad. Her team found out and tried to stop it, but it was already too late to do anything about it." Fast forward a few more times, it showed Velvet on the edge of a airship docks, facing down the cliff. She was in her battle gear with her box beside her with a note taped to it, watching the sun go down over the horizon. She took a deep breath and started leaning forward. "I could never bare to watch this part." He waved his hand as it disappeared just as her body tumbled forward. I closed my eyes and looked away as fast as I could. What the hell did I just watch.
"She commits suicide every time. One way or another she dies because she can't take the pain any more. I tried everything I can think of to save her, but there is only so much I can do." He explained "I can change things in this universe but not directly interfere with their lives. I try to guide people to help but everyone is too scared of being labeled something bad, you know how the media can be. I try sending people thoughts of helping out and saving her. But they never work in the end because she firmly believes it is her problem to solve in the beginning. She only asked for help till it's too late. Every one ends the same. I started going a bit insane trying to save her. Out of all the universes I can tamper with, I chose to try and save her in this one. I started running out of ideas till I found out about your line of work." I raised my eyebrows at this.
"I know I needed a unknown factor. Yes Coco and Yang can be scary and unpredictable at times but they can't relate to her situation. Blake can but I can never seem to get her to cooperate. Ruby tries to help but can't understand Velvet's pain. You on the other hand, you take shit from no one, you don't care if it is a person you just met or not, you know and understand her pain better then anyone I can throw her way, you take action despite what everyone tells you. You never give up and fight to the end. Your presence alone scares away most her bullies. They all saw what you did with the Prometheans, they don't want to be next. Plus you're always near Velvet in one way or another to protect her more then anyone else can. I made the right choice in getting you there." He explained more pulling up another universe. Same one only it showed my body in the hospital bed with Nora sitting in the chair not saying a word with her head down. She looked depressed, not that I blame her. Never thought in a million years I'd see Nora so calm. "You're the wild card I need to save Velvet, my last shot before insanity. I can't speed up time past this point because you, your friends and family add to many unknown factors for that universe to calculate. I'm basically praying for the best right now."
"So me and Velvet falling for each other, that was your intervention?" I asked.
"Technically yes and no. Yes because I sent you there, no because I didn't intended it to happen. I'm not arguing with it either." He explained. "Both your feelings for one another are 100% genuine. I can't mess with people's love lives. I can suggest people to them, but never directly get involved with it."
Made sense that he can't mess with people directly. I got a idea what he is talking about. Heard of it before, when the original creator of a piece of art dies, they get reincarnated as a god to watch over their worlds. Sort of like heaven yet hell. Man I feel bad for when Steven King dies, read one or two of his books. He writes good horror books but has a very screwed up imagination.
"So how do I. . ." I tried to ask when a brown light sprouted from nowhere and started circling around me. "What the hell?" I asked trying to swat it. My hand just passed through it as it tried to get to me. Kept bouncing off and tickling me more then anything. Monty just laughed as it tried and tried again.
"Looks like Velvet's Aura is trying to unlock yours, but your soul is being stubborn and refusing. Never thought I would see someone getting their Aura unlocked from within their mind. Quite fascinating to see it happen before my eyes." He said laughing a bit.
"Explain, please." I said slapping the brown light like a fly. It just brushed it off and kept trying to do something. I can't explain it. Never had a ball of light attack me before. Okay I have but never one can't smack.
"You're physical mind is starting to grow conscious, you're waking up." He explained as the light finally found an area of least resistance around my heart and went inside me. I doubled over as a wave of nausea and exhaustion over took me. I looked down at myself to see I was starting to slow a very faint Cobalt blue and dissolving. What the hell is happening!
"Remember, never let someone tell you something is impossible, never be afraid to follow your heart, and never let anything stop you from achieving your goals." He said putting his hand behind his back as my vision started fading away. "Word of the wisdom, keep your weapons loaded and your wits sharp. You're going to be in for one hell of a fight later."
(Johnathan's POV)
Reality
Someone get the license plate number on the Truck that ran me over. First thing I felt when I returned to my body was unbearable pain. Arm felt like it was snapped in two, ribs felt like someone crushed them with a ten ton weight. I over all felt like someone hit me with a fully loaded Semi truck. My eyes refused to open but my hearing some how worked fine. I can heat the heart machine I was on beeping erratically, tons of bells and whistles that came with it going off and someone jumping back in surprise.
"Johnny, Johnny your waking up. It's me Nora!" A voice called. Nora is still with me, well at lest she isn't Caboose or Doc. That I am forever grateful for. What idiot gives someone CPR for a sniper round to the head? "What ever you do. Don't go into the light! I'll get the others!" With that I heard the door open and close rather hard. I tried forcing my eyes open but only got very fuzzy and brief images. Lots of white and light, I can feel wires poking out of me, everything still hurt.
"Velvet." I called as the sweet taste of pure oxygen rushed down to full my lungs. My voice sounded very scratchy, like I gurgled nails and broken glass. My vision slowly returned to me as I heard the door burst open. I forced myself to look right toward the door. Velvet was first one in as she ran to my side, eyes looking like dams ready to burst. Oh I can tell this is going to hurt a lot!
"Johnathan you're awake!" She cried running to me and wrapping her arms around me. I winced heavily in pain as her arms were squeezing the cast around my ribs. I didn;t care as I used my robotic hand to pat her back. Joys of having this arm, always reliable for when I break my other arm. "We thought you were dead. I thought you would leave us this time." She said crying into my chest. I smiled as I gently pulled the breathing mask off, lifted her head so out eyes meet, and wiped her tears away. I can see the redness around her eyes and tear ducts. Well, here goes nothing
"It's going to take a whole lot more then death to keep me from protecting who I love." I said before kissing her. I can't describe the feelings I have for her right now, because there are no words in any language I know of that can fully captivate this moment. Two people from two complete universes, meeting by luck and interference from a God like being, and falling in love with each other. Call me crazy but this is starting to sound like a cheesy Hollywood romance movie. I don't care, what matters is that I love the woman in my arms. . . well arm but who cares. It seemed like hours, which I wasn't going to complain, was really only a few short seconds. The cute little bunny girl blushed while we smiled " and I love you Velvet." I said moving a bit of hair away from her eyes.
"Love you too Johnathan." She replied hugging me. Again it hurt like hell but I don't care. We're together, that's what matters. I'll make her happy, I'll fight to my last breath to keep her safe. I softly kissed the top of her head and smiled as we held each other in a longing embrace.
(Theta's POV)
"I'm scared Eta. I wish North were here." I whispered as Agent Maine walked through the halls of a very depressing looking place. Everything around us was an ugly cement gray color. ME, Eta, Iota, and Delta were away from our other brothers. Sigma was in front watching everything first. Acting as Maine's voice and sense of reason. I was sitting on the side of Maine's shoulder with my legs dangling down.
"I know Theta. I know" He said sitting beside me. Eta, Alpha's Bravery. Split at the same time as his twin sister, Iota, Alpha's Fear. Both given to Carolina and stolen by Maine. Same with me.
"Damn, this is one impressing base of operations." Commander Riley complimented keeping his rifle on his back. I like him, he seems like he's only doing his job following the scary Sith girl around, Emily I think was her name. I don't like her, not one bit. She wants to hurt Ohio, the guy who saved Rhody in the crash. I would try to escape if I could, but I can't. I'm not like Omega, I can't jump from person to person through the radio. And I'm not like Sigma or Mu where I can jump to other places through machines. I'm forced to be with Maine as he hurts and kills anyone that gets in his way. Yes I want to see the Alpha, see my creator, but not if it means killing Ohio. Delta's been thinking for hours on how the four of us can run away from Maine and our brothers. So far he has come up with nothing long lasting. Few seconds at most.
"Yes, the White fang do know how to stay under the radar. You'll be perfectly safe here. Food, water, and a place to stay will be provided as long as you don't hurt the Faunus." The fire girl explained, Cinder I think her name was. I don't know what to think of her. She's scary yet acts kindly to me and my brothers. Sigma tells me I should trust her, but I'm finding it hard. I just want North back.
"Alright, you brought us to your base. We see what you got under your control. Now what do you want from us?" Emile asked keeping her hood up.
"Very simple. I need extra hands to collect shipments of Dust. Legal or not, get it any way you can. I'm sure it won't be too much of a issue for you. Especially when you got AI to hack into security systems such." She explained with a sly smile. "In return, I'll help you kill Agent Ohio's allies. You can have him all to your self, as per our verbal agreement."
Not good, defiantly not good at all! Ohio is in even more trouble, now his friends are as well. No way he can take on an army of these cute animal like humans, a dinosaur hybrid, Agent Maine, and a Sith ex-girlfriend. Delta please find a way out of here quickly. I clung to Eta closer as we walked farther into the facility.
"Delta, are we ever going to get out of here?" I whispered as Iota sighed with me and sat beside me. This can't possibly get any worse, then Delta proved me wrong. He said three words I never thought would hear coming from the logical one of all of us. Three words that shattered any hope I had for escaping this never ending nightmare.
"I don't know Theta, I don't know."
That's a wrap. We get incite on Theta's thoughts while being with the Meta. Hope I captured his desperation for a way to escape and the over all gloominess that goes with how he's feeling. I mean, put yourself in his shoes. Maine killed North in front of him, took him and his armor ability, and now he's trapped and forced to watch as Maine kills those he considered friends and family. I guessed on Eta and Iota's aspects for personality are. Read it on a post somewhere, makes sense when I thought about it. So far the poll for who Penny will be paired with is . . .
3 for Delta
1 for Theta
None for Mu
I understand the one with Mu. Changed the poll from Omega to Mu when I really thought about it. I can find a way for Delta to work. I'll give the polls a few more chapters till I introduce Penny. Now to answer some reviews.
Yoshtar- I don;t know. There might be a few things in the Multiverse that can fuck up or one up a Spartan II. Won't say my opinion because I don't want to start a flame war. You're right, Ohio did pull through but will be settle on Remnant? Or will he continue to do his job to finish his father's work? Or will he parish horrifically before then? Only way to find out is to wait and keep reading.
Well I'm done here. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Yes I found a way to have Monty live on in a small slice of heaven. Who wouldn't want to watch their creation come to life in front of their eyes. To see their characters living and breathing like you an I can. To watch them grow and function on their own free will. To me that is what I think Heaven is to artist. Yet it can also be like Hell because you have to see them struggle and not be able to do anything. Still, more like heaven then hell anyway if you want my opinion. What do you guys and gals think? Your opinion here? Anyway, peace out.
