End of The Deathloop
No POV:
It's all finally coming together. The day we finally end the loop. I go to the complex to sabotage Egor's experiment and activate the power for both Updaam and Karl's Bay bunkers. One is at the latter since she wanted to show that she could kill three birds with one stone in this situation. Well, she has contacted me that she's taken care of everything. Even sent me a picture of her holding Harriet's head before it vanished. How sweet of her. I do wish to see how she'll turn out once the loop has no hold on us. Actually, I wonder how I'll turn out as well.
Zero: So how long have I actually been here? Years? Decades? Centuries? I guess it doesn't really matter by this point. I'm getting out of here with the others.
One sends Zero a message saying "Dismantle Egor's experiment so he'll go to Alexis' party. It'll be their last one before we escape". Zero replies "Sure" before going to Egor's Lab and sabatoging his experiment. One the plus side for Egor, this will be the last time his experiment gets sabotaged. I decide to head to Updaam since eveything else has been taken care of. One has killed Harriet and sabotaged Frank's fireworks, while Colt is just waiting to kill Fia and Charlie. I hung out in Colt's Flat and ended up gettin a call from Blackburn.
Zero: What do you want?
Blackburn: Oh, I just wanted to congratulate my adopted kids for how far they've come after... how long has it been?
Zero: I don't have a damn clue, I vaguely remmber 200 loops at most.
Blackburn: Yeah, we've been here for god knows how long. To be honest, I am hoping that you can break the loop. And before you ask why, It's because it's so boring here. And Julie's desire to cosntantly hunt Colt is just petty as fuck. Not that I'm gonna be any better, but I know when to let things go. Sometimes. See ya soon.
Blackburn hangs up. Zero then looks at the picture of the woman on Colt's terminal who is revealed to be Julianna's mother. One thing he wonders is if Colt disappearance is part of her immense hatred of him.
Zero: The loop ends tonight. And I'll finally show you that death does come for you, Blackburn.
After a bit, One and Colt Finally arrive. One jumps on Zero's lap and Colt just drinks one of the bottles of alcohol on his counter. He then sits on a chair and the three talk about all sorts of things that they want to do after they break the loop.
Zero: I think I might travel the world. I know that there's a possibility that it's a wasteland, but it'd still be something new.
One: And I want to join you. I remember watching so many movies and shows. And if there's a chance I could learn acting to become an actress, I'll take it.
Colt: Sounds like wonderful plans. By the way, how much of your memories did you both get back?
One: Enough. But...
Zero: You wouldn't believe what we'll say about them.
Colt: Go ahead. We got time.
Zero: *Sigh*, We're not from this world.
Colt: ... Go on.
Zero and One tell Colt about how they were orginally from another world, until they came across a strange book. How they somehow ended up in Colt's world. And about how they were both trained as assassins and adopted by Blackburn before the loop.
Colt: Yeah, that sounds crazy. But then again, this whole fucking life inside this fucking loop has been batshit crazy. So I guess I can believe you two. After all, you two have sided with me about escaping the loop since the very beginning of when I became aware again. So, what do you both say we end this so we no longer have to talk about it.
Zero/One: We're in!
A few hours pass and night finally comes to Blackreef and the Devouring of The Lambs Party begins. The Loop breakers infiltrate the Dorsey Manor to kille Alexis, Wenjie, and Egor. Now all that's left is Akira, Julianna, Blackburn, and them.
Colt: Guys, I found out why Julianna wants nothing more to kill me.
One: Why?
Colt: Cause when I realize I found out I trapped myself in the damn loop again, I started killing her over and over again.
Zero: Let me guess, to try and free her?
Colt: To give her a real life, without do overs. All this time, I will free her no matter what happens after. At least this damn loop won't have a hold on anyone anymore.
Blackburn: Then here's your chance.
They look to see Blackburn standing in front of them and holding his pistols.
Zero: Blackburn.
Colt: Oh, yeah. I almost forgot about him.
One: You forgot about a guy that sent me and Zero through building?
Colt: Good point.
Blackburn: We've been doing this thing for such a long time. I am interested in a change, but I won't just let it happen. Show me your resolve and determination, and I will accept that the world that you will have us enter. So, fight me without holding anything back. I can assure you that should you will, I will let you leave. No grudges, no strings attached. I even have devices and can teleport you two to the Loop itself. After all, that Rakytoplan only has room for one.
Zero: We know.
Zero and One pull out their weapons and blackburn laughs, but not in mockery.
Blackburn: Finally. After so long, the greatest battle has come.
One: It's killing time.
Zero and One charge and fire at Blackburn who dodges and shoots back at them. One discovers her wind magic and uses it to enhance her claws to cut through more solid objects. She then sends wind blades at Blackburn and thought they miss him, they did cut his arms a bit and slice through the buildings.
One: I didn't know I could do that until I got my memories back.
Zero then fires several fire bolts at Blackburn and manages to singe his left hand. Zero then uses fire to strengthen his blades and ends up slashing through solid steel.
Blackburn: I must say, for two people from another world, you are not bad at adapting. I've seen you both do well with guns when you two were drafted during the war.
One: Well, too bad we came out alive so we can end you!
Blackburn: That's what I love about both of you. Insane, but still aware enough to admit it.
Zero: You're not wrong.
Black burn then fires a barrage of bullets, but Zero and One managed to cut through and deflect them. Blackburn is then puts his guns away and fights with his bare hands. His speed matches that of Zero and One, considering he's the one who trained them. Blackburn punches Zero in his chest and knocks him into a wall. He then grabs Carmilla's leg and throws her toward a bunch of crates.
Blackburn: I'm having a blast. How about you two?
Zero: *Cough*. Bastard cracked three of my ribs.
One: And he dislocated my shoulder.
One then bashes her self against the arm to pop her shoulder back into place.
*CRACK*
One: That was not pretty. But my arm is back in place.
Blackburn: Come on, one last fight.
Zero gives a small smile at his former mentor.
Zero: Gladly.
Zero and One charge at Blackburn and fight with their weapons. As they continue fighting, Zero and One manage to land more hits on blackburn. Instead of grunting and wincing form the pain, Blackburn could only smile more. As the coup-de-grace, Zero and One bring out the knife and sword they got from their rooms a few loops ago and stab Blackburn with them. Blackburn then falls to his knees and just chuckles.
Blackburn: After so long, we will finally, actually leave this time loop. I am proud of what you two have become. And I can't wait for what happens after we leave. HAHAHA.
Blackburn stops laughing and ends up disappearing, leaving nothing but two devices on the ground. Zero and One reach for the devices, but the rest of their memories come back. They remember that after they ended up in this world, they had no magic and their strength was significantly decreased. The only time they had a chance of eating was when they got drafted during a war the Motherland took part in. But once that was done, they were forgotten and ended up sinking into filth. Forced into the underworld as workers for whatever, they soon lost their minds and decided to embrace blood to cease their suffering. Blackburn soon took notice of Bell and renamed him Logan before training him to be an assassin. Aiz also got into an organization as an assassin and was renamed Carmilla. Soon, they took on the names Zero and One as a sign that they are no longer what they are. Especially since they discover the object AIz had ended up making copies of them in the other world when they looked into the void.
Zero: We are Bell and Aiz, who ended up in this world.
One: And we became broken from experiencing what mankind it capable of.
Zero: But, we've still got a loop to break
One: So let's finish this.
They grab the devices and end up teleporting to the device that powers the loop. They go inside and see Colt, Akira, and Julianna in the center of the Stabilizer Core. They are in an argument of trying to convince Julianna to allow the loop to end.
Julianna: Oh great, more to guilt trip me.
One: pfff, no we're not.
Zero: We're just here to shoot you should you choose to stay defiant.
Akira: Please, Julianna. This isn't living.
Julianna: I don't get why you don't take my side Akira. We met at that party and we've been best friends ever since. Why can't you understand me?
Akira: Because I see that accepting this loop is a mistake. No matter how much you try, things never change. I had a family outside and I made the other mistake of not keeping in touch with them.
Julianna: Must be nice. To have a family that loves you.
Colt *Sigh*, You're right Julianna. I may be the worst father ever. But right here, right now, I want to make things right. I want to give you a life where you really can take things into your own hands. That is what I truly want to give you.
Julianna: You... You really want to give me a life I can be free in?
Colt: Yes.
Zero: Julianna. Life should be on you to make a real change in the face of whatever comes your way. Please. Try it again.
One: Besides, in the outside world, things may never get boring.
Julianna: *Sigh*... Okay. Then let's get this over with. So me what's worth it outside.
Akira: Even if it may not be worth it now. I can make it worth it with Zero and One.
Julianna: I bet. Well, Colt, want to take that leap of faith with me?
Colt: Only if you'll let me.
Julianna: I think I will.
Julianna and Colt look at each other in acceptance and leap off the platform first. Akira then looks at Zero and One as she puts her hands on the back of her head.
Akira: We may get a few Eternalists to join us. But everyone in Orario will take part in our exodus. Get ready you two. We have a lot of work ahead of us in fixing the world.
Zero: I can't wait.
One: Neither can I.
Akira leans backwards and falls off. Zero and One look at each other as they compare to how they were way back then to how they are now.
Zero: So, I guess the journey we tried in the other world was rendered meaningless for us.
One: And out past in this world was a mistake that made us broken.
Zero: ...But we're not going back.
One: Maybe it'd be better if things were left to those two that remained.
Zero: Are we the real Bell and Aiz? Or are they the current originals?
One: Does it really matter.
Zero: I guess not. So, should we get married? Try to have some kind of a fairy tale wedding?
One: I would like that. Even if we will spend the rest of our lives going in different directions. Because I know we'll always be there by each other's side.
Zero: Yep.
Zero and One hold hands before walking to the edge of the platform. They smile at each other before going off the edge and falling. After a few seconds, everything went faded to white. Zero then woke up in his bed and looked around his room to sees that nothing is different. However, he sees a strange orange light coming from the window and walks to check it out. He opens it and sees that the sky is now orange with multiple ripples in it.
Zero: *Sigh*, Well, better get packing.
Zero, One, Colt, and Akira go around Blackreef and Orario gathering who and what they can for their trip into the rest of the world. Zero and Colt go get 2-BIT and help him onto a vehicle. Blackburn then appears before Zero and One and smiles. The two grab thir guns, but Blackburn doesn't attack and only says a few words.
Blackburn: Good luck you two. The world will only keep changing.
Blackburn disappears but Zero and one help Colt and Akira. Soon, every person in Orario and a few Eternalist get in large transports and they drive away from Blackreef. They continue to drive out into the wasteland and ready to take on water the future brings.
