Previously...
Time: Unknown. Location: Wurg's House?
Wurg's house is completely gone, a large crater being all that remains. A large energy barrier exists around the area, along with walls made from the debris.
U? Are you there?
*Wryb approaches the barrier and taps on it lightly*
*Umbra walks out of the crater and peeks around the wall. His neck is clearly broken*
Yes...
The device is ready...
*Wryb shuffles awkwardly in place*
Once again, sorry... I would rather avoid taking control of a living body...
*He/She taps a little control panel that looks to have been ripped out of one of the labs and a hole opens in the barrier, which Wryb sneaks through*
Are th-the others going to come back soon?
No... I believe they have given up on gaining entrance to this location for now...
...
...
It's Ebendach, right?
Listen, kid... He was a good friend to us both, but there is not anything we can do for him.
The most we can do is prevent this from happening in the first place... Hopefully then this will not come to exist in any timeline...
R-Right... Tho you wanted me to do something with the defice when it was done?
Yes... You need to use your leftover energy from the weapon to activate it...
The process will likely use up all of your energy reserves... You may not survive...
I don't care! Besides, this is a dead timeline anyway, I won't exist anymore anyway.
I am glad you will choose to help us either way...
You will not tell Sylrein what I told you, correct?
Of course not!
Good... She would not go through with this if she knew the potential results...
I-I don't want her to e-en...
End up lost for eternity?
It is not as bad a fate as you are led to believe. I have lived with it for...
Hm... Millenia, perhaps...
I do not regret my decisions to this point... Nor do I regret my coming final decision...
I would make the same choice again...
And again...
And again...
Until the time when I get the results I hoped for when I first did this...
For all I know, it has repeated many times before...
And could continue to repeat...
I simply hope she makes better decisions than I did...
*Sylrein taps bashes at the barrier*
Hey, UUmbracorpse, kid, let me in!
*U presses the control panel again and Sylrein slips in before the barrier closes again*
*Serwylfe is cut in two when the barrier closes on him, and the part on the inside stops moving altogether while the other part drags itself away*
Well at least we know the countermeasures work...
So, I found Wurg. The bad news is she was alive.
S-So she finally lost-t control?...
Yeah... The good news is... I... put her out of it.
I'm sorry, Wryb...
...
...
W-We thould get r-ready for the defithe...
You... Sylrein...
You are to do everything in your power to stop Samhain...
I can not tell you everything I did in the short time we have left... But please don't follow your first instincts! It won't do any good!
*Umbra's corpse collapses to the ground and the area becomes pitch black as U enters the large, eight-arched device that looks similar to stonehenge in the center of the crater, causing a black aura to develop around it*
>
NOW!<
Now!
*Wryb places her hands on the device and concentrates*
*
Bright arcs of energy leap off of her and around the device, causing the air to distort*
*Wryb collapses to the ground as the device collapses into some sort of black hole*
*Sylrein grabs Wryb and jumps into the portal as it begins to collapse in on itself*
I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THIS!
