Chapter 33 - Chapter 27: The One

As they press on to level B2, Jenny realizes that Sakura is turning green, a sign that her body is not coping with the virus. She realized now that she is the only one who can fight right now. As Skip pointed out, they have 52 mins left until they are completely infected.

Upon arriving at the Underground lab, they are thankful that it not blocked or having nearby enemies. Joe prepares the Vaccine, ready for use by using their machines.

The distraction was a failure... You know this. We ask a question to you, Jenny.

"Still haven't given up, having you?" she said to them

This is a different matter... Why? You are a reality warper with intense potential, you have the power to match our sisters and brothers. You were living on your own and sustained yourself at the cost of others. Why do you suppress your abilities when you should embrace the gifts that you've been given.

"I never asked for this!" she said in anger.

We didn't ask to be... We were made to be.

"Alright, I'll bite." she said, curious about their extent, "Why are you chasing after us and what are your plans and goals? Don't lie to me because-"

We didn't lie to you, Jenny. We have made our intentions clear.

Jenny remains silent, with the intent of listening to them.

Do you remember that you attempted to lie to us? We saw through it. You felt that we forced you to be a part of us. We seek to merge our harmony with the stars and the worlds beyond, to bring it into our warmth within the Biomass. Make no mistake, Jenny, we don't seek to become gods; we don't want the tyranny of the government nor the enslavement of other beings. We offer the choice: Merge with us in Harmony or be cut and be laid aside... Forgotten and fed into our womb.

We also know the reason you held back on your power, Jenny. You also know that the Erasers are coming from the sea of stars. They are others like you are watching... waiting...

'ENOUGH BULLSHIT!" she shouted "I know you have no interest in playing God that I can respect but don't you think that is enslaving them?!" she pointed. "That is no better than enslavement, giving them a false sense of peace.

You think our way is enslavement and yet from humanity, they would enslave your kind. Labor, Money, Producing offspring... Locking them in cages. Cages where they are treated no better than animals. Whereas we offer an alternative... to this...

"By infecting them and making a mindless cult?" she asked.

Death separates them from us... Would you prefer we simply cut them down rather than offering them the harmony of the One?

"We stare in the face and we face him together! Not run away from it," she stated. "Joe? Have you got the serum ready, yet?"

She is getting no response; she looks around for Joe, whom she found him laying down on the ground. But it took like it may be done.

"Baby girl... It's finished," he said weakly. "Inject it … quickly."

"Right!" and suddenly something holds her in place.

We know that you are attempting to purge ourselves of our children that is inside yourselves...

"We can't have that..." a Sorcerer levitates the vials in front of her. "You think we would allow this, Discord?" it flashed the vials in front of her.

"No... Don't do this!!" she shouted, but they restrained her.

And now we decided, we cannot allow you to live... we will not allow you to interfere with our harmony any longer. So instead in your own words... we will toss your ass aside.

The sorcerer smashed vials in front of her and burn the liquids in front of her.

"No!!" she screamed at the sight of the Vaccine that had been destroyed in front of her.

Your friends have fallen... Your "Vaccine" is now gone... You lost your Boss... You're low on Ammunition... Out of PSI... Out of Magic... We now have control over Reality, all thanks to you...

Jenny falls to her knees upon seeing her friends, starting to succumb to the virus. Their skins are turning Green and groove marks are being shown on their eyes. Their eyes suddenly rolling up to the back of their skulls. She lets down a stream of tears upon seeing them being carried away to their biomass.

No one is going to help you now... You are all alone.

A Rumbler grabs her and forces her to look at the Sorcerer who is manifesting a swarm of parasites. Jenny is helpless against them, losing all hope when she sees that the Vaccine, the only thing that can help them purge the virus, is now destroyed. All she can do is stare into the eyes of a Sorcerer as it raises its hand to bring the parasite closer to her face.

Now, don't you regret not joining us? We didn't want it to end it like this.
