We look up and crawl up the side of the cliff and look up.
Ash:......geez....why did we go down so low.
I form a bomb.
Ash:Oh well...we arent going back.
I drop the bomb in and blow up everything down there.
Harbinger:...now i gotta ask why the fuck did you do that.
Ash:You saw how the last person with all that knowledge ended up?
Harbinger:*sigh* whatever.
Ash:Its real crazy how many died in war. But we finished it.
I stare up at the sky.
Ash:I feel....good for once...
Harbinger:this ment this much to you?
Ash:Yeah....Its all over now.
We see a ship touch down near us. Namia pops out.
Rins:Cmon guys! Lets get the fuck outta here.
I look over and see atlas body still standing on the cliff and the charred corpse of manticore floating in the water.
Ash:You wont be forgotten....I swear.
We step on the ship and I sit down the door slowly closes
Seoul:Wouldnt.. think we could do it huh?
Ash:Ima...ima sit in the back.
I walk into the back and sit down and look at the back window. And see dormen I think she sees me too.
Ash:Ill finish you too...not right now.
I place down the box.
Ash:I gotta figure this out.
Seoul walks in and I barely notice him.
Ash:What?
Seoul:Whats that huh?
Ash:Its a portable simulacrum...almost everyone in here. I met lio and some others in there...
Seoul:Why keep it.
Ash:There some question i got about it. I saw us in there.
Seoul:?
Ash:Lio killed us in there. But as you could guess we arent dead and should not be in there.
Seoul:If we are in there...who else could be.
He sits down in a way that looks very painful
Ash:you alright?
Seoul:Yeah yeah...can we both go in?
Ash:I dont know.
I smack it and it cuts on.
Ash:Console can multiple people enter?
Console:Only one may enter the portable simulacrum. Multiple may enter the simulacrum in center.
Seoul:Well thats gone so I guess not.
Ash:im goin in okay? Just tell the others what im doing if they walk in.
Seoul:Yeah I got you.
Ash:alright.
I stick my arm inside the console.
Console:Activating....turning into v.i.p.
I see a flash and im in the game.
Ash:Warp me to harbringus.
Console:Understood.
Im warped and see another version of myself scavenging through some stuff.
Ash:..Ahem.
The other me turns around suddenly and stares at me aiming a pistol at me.
Ash2:Dera why are you here!
Ash:Im not dera.
Ash2:Oh so you just look like me!
Ash:I could tell you stuff only we would know.
Ash2:So could dera!
Ash:....Whatever you want to believe.
Ash2:Scan it dick!
Ash:....if I was dera....I see why she kills us...how did you get here.
Ash2:Why are you asking me questions to things you know the answer to?!
Ash:I KILLED DERA DICK! IF I KNEW I WOULDNT ASK!
it gets silent
Ash:....sorry.
Ash2:...Ill entertain you I guess. I dunno...I was sleeping and then woke up here.
Ash:Wait....Your based off of me.
Ash2:What?
Ash:Your a construct of me. Your based off of me and all of my known knowledge. Whats the last thing you did before you got here?
Ash2:Saving titania from the corpus.
Ash:That was about 2 days ago...guess thats the last time you were updated....if your here...and seouls here...then people they didnt even kill should be in here.
Ash2:...?
Ash:If your me...here.
I form a version of the gauntlet I had before my arms got blown off.
Ash2:what? Why?
Ash:I mean even if your just a clone of me. I dont exactly want you to die. You want me to warp you to the middle city?
Ash2:no.
Ash:?
Ash2:even if I cant ever leave. I dont want to give up on getting answers.
Ash:But we wanted to die and except it.
Ash2:We...cant die...Here...
Ash:Console. Give me a weapon...able to actually kill an erase data.
A prova drops infront of me.
I pick it up.
Ash:Are you sure you want this? Theres no coming back after this.
Ash2:You can really kill me...?
Ash:I think so.
The other me gets on his knees.
Ash2:Then take me and end this torment.
He tilts his head down.
Ash2:Because im here..I clearly failed. Maybe you are another me...then you understand. Give me death.
Ash:So you like alternate me if I failed.....A sad existence. I couldnt imagine being you.
I pull the sword back.
Ash:Goodbye.
Ash2:....Yes....goodbye..to this cruel world...
I cut his head off and it rolls back.
Ash:Console where did he go. I dont trust cephalon would let me erase data?
Console:his data is sent into my storage. He can be brought back by your whim.
Ash:Okay. Guess hes at peace now. Take this thing back.
The prova disappears.
Ash:Now warp me to janus.
I get warped and see a valkyr sitting in a chair dead.
Ash:Thats not...
Something jumps at me out of reflex I grab its face and through it to the ground.
Ash:The fuck.
I look down and see its janus.
Janus:A..ash?
Ash:why did you just run at me.
Janus:Thought you were mutant!
Ash:Mutant?
I hear a growl in the distance.
Janus:AH FUCK HERE THEY COME!
Ash:stand behind me.
I form a minigun.
Mutant:GRAGHGH!
I gun them down and they all slump to the ground.
Mutant:GRAAAAHH!!
One runs towards us very fast.
Ash:GRAGH!
I drop the minigun and punch the mutant and its head explodes.
Ash:Think we are good.
Janus:Why help me?
Ash:?
Janus:I fucked you guys over...Why help me?
Ash:You...How did you die?
Janus:I was killed underground by a hunter.
Ash:Seems your updated.
Janus:?
Ash:Nothing.
Janus:Ash I want to say sorry..
Ash:I cannot say your wrong for being manipulated but...to an extent...your murders are your fault.
Janus:...How...
Ash:Really?
Janus:HOW IS IT MY FAULT I WAS MANIPULATED THE HOLE TIME YOU CANNOT BLAME ME! YOU WOULDNT EVEN KNOW!
Ash:IF YOU GAVE A SHIT YOU WOULD KNOW I GOT MANIPULATED TWICE! BUT I WASNT A MASS MURDERER!
Janus:YOU RUINED EARTH!
Ash:BY ACCIDENT AND WASNT MY FAULT! YOU?! YOU DID IT WITH NOTHING BUT MINOR INFLUENCE! ME AND MY FRIENDS "RESISTED" THAT MINOR INFLUENCE BUT YOU WENT PSYCHO!
Janus:OH OH YOUR CALLING ME CRAZY!
Ash:.....those were probably your true feelings...she just brought them to light didnt she.
Janus:SHUT U...
I punch her and she falls to the ground holding her face.
Ash:Funny how the situations flipped now huh?
Janus:Wh...
Ash:You treated me like shit when I was forced to work for you as your "helper"!
I kick her and she rolls back.
Janus:Ghg!
Ash:I SPENT HALF OF MY TIME UNTHAWED LOOKING FOR YOU!
I punch her again and she hits a wall.
Janus:GHG!
Ash:I WANTED YOU TO HAVE A PEACEFUL DEATH AND YOU PUNCHED ME OUT OF A WINDOW INTO SPACE!
I pick her up by the neck.
Ash:YOU FUCK! EVERY TIME I TRUSTED YOU! YOU LET ME DOWN! YOUR LITTLE APOLOGY MOVED ME AT FIRST BUT NOW SEEING YOU IM REMINDED OF THE HORRIBLE THINGS YOUVE DONE!
She looks at me scared.
Ash:We were friends. Not anymore.
I throw her on the ground.
Ash:You are not worth my time. Your just a waste of metal.
Janus:A..
Ash:My name to you is harbringus. Ill make it official for you piece of shit. Look at me...trying to save the world what did you try to do? Reset the world and where did that get you...Oh yeah dead.
Janus:.....
Ash:You should just stop talking. Ill stop to because its clear you dont understand and you wont ever get a chance for redemption.
Janus:Harbingus....answer me this...if your here..that means we won right...?
Ash:No your bitch is dead. You wont ever walk the land of the living again you selfish fuck. Console warp me to seoul.
I look back at her one more time and simply shake my head before I warp. I see seoul sitting in a chair. He slowly looks up at me.
Seoul:Ash...You...Died?
Ash:No im inside the simulation through a box...why do you sound like you know whats up.
Seoul:I figured I was a clone. My fake memories didnt match up..."Dying in my sleep" didnt make sense to me considering we all were there. So we won huh?
Ash:Yeah....This is the only thing left of them.
Seoul:Why come here?
Ash:For answers.
Seoul:Well if you guys won...theres no one to get more data. If no ones getting data we wont be updated. We will be based off of us now..almost like a alternate reality.
Ash:...Didnt think of it like th...
Im suddenly knocked out of the simulation.
Ash:Huh?! What?! what?!
Seoul:You might wanna hear this.
Rins is infront of me and motion me to walk with her. I follow and we walk to the front of the ship and I see a grineer fleet infront of us.
Ash:Oh fuck...
???:Greetings tenno.
Ash:Is that tril?
Tril:Yes ash. Im glad you remember me.
Ash:How did you get this massive fleet?
Tril:I dont plan on killing you. I just want you to know we thank you for dealing with the threat of the shells. All extraordinary threats have been dealt with and there only three major races in the galaxy again.
Ash:Are the grineer doing okay? You guys havent made any major moves.
Tril:I killed the king and took his place as emperor of the grineer.
Ash:Thats....a big promotion.
Rins whispers to me.
Rins:Ash how do you know this dude?
Ash:Simple...he tried to kill me but we helped each other a bit back.
He coughs and we both look back at his ships
Tril:your efforts will not be forgotten to time. We will make sure of it.
Ash:Ehehe thanks...
We hear another intercom cut on.
Korken:Ahem hello.
Ash and tril:?
Korken:Yes well I do appreciate your efforts as well as the "shells" were just terrible for buisness and the new frontier has been freed seeing as the brink has been opened. We also believe we should have a grace period between all races.
Tril:Really corpus?
Ash:Yeah seriously?
Korken:I cannot make money with no economy and we must also wipe out any stragglers that are left in our system and lock up the void for good. Do you accept.
Ash:Its about time we all had peace.
Tril:I agree I need time to establish more power in my empire.
Korken:Same here clone. Maybe we can do buisness sometime? Our bad blood was with your old management...mostly
Tril:We will see corpus. A sharing of intel would be nice now.
Ash:And maybe the warframes may become there own faction again.
Theres a pause.
Korken and tril:PSHT HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ash:.....I dont see whats so funny about that...
Tril:oh boy...anyways that ends my speal.
Korken:Same here. Here to the future.
Tril and Ash:Heres to the future.
All the ships role out and I slowly turn back to our crew.
Namia:We caused a whole grace period due to our actions. Feels good.
Arch:*cough* cough* finally some peace.
Rins:Rrgh...
Ash:Oh your awake? How are your wounds?
Arch*cough* Ill live.
Ash:Where are we going?
We land on a large asteroid.
Ash:Why are we landing here?
Rins:You will see.
Namia picks up arch. I see seoul stumble next to me holding box and he hands it to me. Harbinger walks out to. We step inside a kinda big metal cabin on the asteroid. I see vauban, osira and valkyr prime.
Harbinger:Holy fuck you all made it?! Thought you got blown up.
Osira:I partially did. That thing bit me a few times and a bit of the beam hit me. I got two warps off.
Seoul:so the others are...
Osira:not sure. Might have survived. The possibility is there and nyx seemed to have somehow warped herself as when I went to warp her she was gone.
Namia:Wasnt this one split in half?
Valkyr prime:I was...
Her body expands and we see shes being held together by void energy.
Ash:Ohhh...
Harbinger:what about red man?
Ash:who?
Harbinger:The stalker right? Where is he?
Osira:No idea...We cant find him.
Arch:You think locke....?
Osira:Hes probably dead. Along with titania, poc and the hunters.
Ash:....?
We see a ship go past from the window. A corpus ship and it seems to be heading to earth.
Vauban:Guys this ships going from where you came from!
Ash:Let em.
Osira:But all the da..
Ash:We broke everything except this cube to the simulacrum. Theres nothing down there but the slayer.
Vauban:Guys just rest. You fellas did enough for us as is and your all burnt.
Osira:Ash have you noticed you actually are healing?
Ash:?
Osira:Its very slow. But yes it is there.
Valkyr prime:Next time we will finish dera.
Harbinger:Pssht theres no need for that.
Valkyr prime:?
Osira:After all that your not trying to finish the fight?
Ash:No no...I threw her into the planetary cannon and fired it.
Valkyr prime:Oh shit..
Osira:That does seem like a solid way to get rid of her. Shooting her into space but her regenration.
Ash:I shot her past the brink.
Vauban:Hnh....thats pretty solid.
Seoul:How so?
Vauban:Well...not many know this but behind the brink there is a blackhole. You kinda banished her in a sense.
Osira:Yes...indeed that is a functional way now that I think about it.
Ash:Oh shit really! Hehe....it all worked out.
We all pause
Harbinger:...Well what do we do now?
Namia:...
Osira:There are leftover shells and infested. We should finish them off in this peace period.
Ash:...we will do that later. We got time.
Rins:What? your feeling relaxed now?
Ash:We are done....with the shells gone...I dont gotta worry about those night terrors anymore....its finally over. For good this time....
Vauban:Nothin much to do now...The new threats done for...its almost like things are how they should be.
Valkyr prime:My work...has been accomplished.
Ash:Oh yeah that was your goal wasnt it?
Valkyr prime:..Hehe...we didnt die in vain then.
She walks towards the door.
Valkyr prime:Hey osira form a ship or pod for me.
Osira:What why?
Valkyr prime:If nyx is out there like you said...I have to find her.
Osira steps outside with valkyr.
Seoul:...huh...how about that...what is next for me? Actually kill kaizo this time...?
Harbinger:I know im gonna strike down ash....but seeing as we are in a bit of a situation right now......zzzz
Ash:Did he?
Rins pokes him.
Rins:Yeah he fell asleep.
Vauban:Rins are you staying with them or me.
Rins:Probably staying with you vauban. I really wanted to do that but now...Im feelin pretty good.
Ash:....Now its my turn...
Osira:?
I go to sleep. Happy with what ive accomplished.
