;133;: *walks off the boat piece as it hits the island* What kind of place is this...*sees the mansion* Oh no..
*gets flashback of Chi*
;133;: No, not this again.. *holds head in pain*
;478;: *grabs Mac, startling him* Who are you? How did you get here?
;133;: *backs away from Erika* Get your stinkin' hands off me you damn dirty ghost!
;478;: *sees the large boat piece that Mac came from* You're a drifter! Perfect, we need you.
;133;: Who is we? What is this place, seems a bit too much like..
;478;: Shhh, come, follow me. We have food and other stuff. *pushes Mac in front of her and leads him along, looking around frantically*
;133;: Gah, you're lucky I haven't eaten anything that isn't fish for over a year or I wouldn't be in your worthless presence.
;478;: *holds tightly onto Mac* Keep going..
;133;: Even your scent is horrendous, do you inferior wenches ever bathe?
;478;: *suddenly yanks Mac back as a bullet flies by* There she is! Stay here! *runs off in the direction the bullet came from*
;175;: Teehee~ *starts to reload gun*
;478;: *catches up to Crack*
;175;: *rolls away without reloading gun* Never gonna catch meeee! *bounds up onto a windowsill*
;478;: *jumps up to grab onto the windowsill* You'll never get away with this, Crack!
;175;: *stomps on Erika and jumps through the window*
;478;: *falls off the windowsill* What room is that..second floor...division four....GRIFFEN! *runs to the mansion door*
;133;: *comes around corner* Hmm... *follows*
;478;: *comes to Griffen's door and starts knocking frantically* GRIFFEN LET ME IN! ....I can hear them mumbling in there...You can't be serious. *keeps knocking furiously*
:611:: What do ya need, Erika?
;478;: SHE'S IN THE ROOM!
*a gunshot is heard*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;325;: QUACKS!
;054;: *looks down* Uhh...*falls backwards*
:611:: Where'd the shot come from? *looks under the bed*
;175;: *scurries out from the other side* Teehee!
;325;: *checks Quacks* Why're you crying, bro? You're not even shot.
;054;: *beckons to the shattered vial and the pieces of glass lodged in his side*
;325;: Oh..
;175;: *hops out of the window*
;478;: Don't let her escape again!
:611:: *leaps out after Crack*
;478;: *races down the hallway*
;325;: *tends to Quacks* I saw the bullet coming, man. I tried to psychic it back but it was too fast, I could only move it to the side. It was coming for me.
;054;: *nods* I had it....I had the solution. The nonviolent solution..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:611:: *lands on Crack*
;175;: *pulls out dual knives and swings at Griffen with them*
:611:: *backs off and blocks with tusks*
;175;: Nnnnnnghhhhh!!!! *swings at Griffen again*
:611:: *blocks the knife with tusk and strikes Crack, disarming one of her knives*
;175;: *starts oozing* AIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE *lunges knife at Griffen's chest*
:611:: *closes eyes as he is cornered against the house*
;175;: *sees knife get shot out of hands by an ice shard and turns to see Erika standing there*
;478;: It's over, Crack. You're more predictable than even you would anticipate.
;325;: *looks down from the window with Quacks sitting weakly by his side*
:611:: You're surrounded, Egg.
;175;: *looks around, panicked* How?
;478;: Simple, really. Your mannerisms are absurd, yes. But your emotions are not. You had a bloodlust much like Ray, that only you could quench. So Ray gave you the list of people he wanted to kill in his order. At first you abided, since to you it was just mindless killings, but then you smartened up. You started to veer off Ray's track when he got revealed. You wanted that bloody glory. So you would do anything to stray away from what Ray wanted. ESPECIALLY killing an outsider. That dear eevee that came out of nowhere, possibly a gift from Arceus himself, is what made me realize where you were at the time. Your blood lust combined with your determination to get back at Ray for using you is what lead to your inevitable downfall.
;133;: ...And what if that thing didn't miss the shot?
;478;: ....It's not uncommon for the sacrifice of a pawn to precede the checkmate.
:611:: I KNEW IT! *looks up to the window and calls to Joey* You hear that? Just pawns to her!
;175;: *picks up knife while they're distracted and flings it at Griffen, pinning him to the house then rolls away*
;478;: NO! *tries to give chase but isnt fast enough* WE CANT LOSE HER, NO!
;325;: *leaps from the window and charges at Crack* This.....Ends......NOW!!! *tackles Crack to the ground and pins her*
;175;: *goofily grins up at Joey* Why....would you huuuuurt...me?
;325;: You wanna know why? I'll tell you why. *punches Crack* Carisa. *punches again* Xavier. *punches again* Enriko. *and again* Brandy.
;478;: *catches up and watches Joey pummel Crack to death*
;325;: *keeps pummeling her* Blitz....Maya....Eros......ALEXANDRA!!!
;478;: Uh, Joey..
;325;: *still pummeling* IRIS! HENRY! SILVER! LONDON! STEVE! BRINER! FELIX! *gets up off the motionless Crack, who is beaten beyond recognition* Nothing I could do, to give you what you deserve....
:611:: Hey eevee kid, mind helping me over here?
;133;: *scoffs* Help you? I only came here because I'm starving, not to help some pathetic fodder like you.
:611:: Starving, eh? *cringes from the pain* Well, I am a cook and if you pull this knife out of me, I can cook you something nice..
;133;: *ponders for a moment* Guess it couldn't hurt... *walks over to Griffen*
;054;: *lands on Mac from the window* QUACK! *holds side in pain* Guess we got matching scars. *pulls knife out of Griffen*
:611:: *holds wound* Eh, just a flesh wound. Let's go join the others. *walks to where Erika and Joey are*
;054;: *gets off of Mac and follows*
;133;: @_@
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;325;: What to do with the body...
;478;: Just bury it..in a hole.
:611:: *dips up a small hole*
;054;: *dumps Crack's body in*
:611:: *puts dirt back over it*
;478;: Now what..
;325;: It's over. It's finally over..
;054;: I'd hate to be the thorn in the side of this celebration, but how are we to get off of this island?
:611:: All phone lines are cut, no way to contact anyone. No spare vehicles.
;478;: That eevee came in on a semi-large fragment of a ship. I'm sure it could fit all of us *points to it*
;325;: What's that guy doing.. *sees Mac hauling a sack of food from the kitchen onto the ship fragment*
:611:: He better not be leaving us! *chases after Mac but falls due to the knife wound*
;325;: *goes after Mac* WHATCHA THINK YOU'RE DOING, BUDDY?!
;133;: Uh oh. *scrambles onto the ship piece and tries to swim away*
;325;: *uses Psychic to bring Mac back* Alrighty then, here's the deal. The four of us are gonna hop on this here raft thing and we're gonna sail the hell out of here. Capiche?
;133;: And what makes you think that I will allow such a fowl, putrid, annoying, pathetic, mewling, scoundrel, inferior being such as you and your peers to travel with me?
;325;: *uses Psychic to smack Mac against a nearby tree* That's why.
;133;: I've seen Espeons....who can do better...than....*passes out*
;478;: *comes up with Griffen on one shoulder and Quacks on the other* I suggest we get out of here and forget this nightmare.
;325;: Agreed. *hops on the ship fragment with Erika, Dr.Quacks, Griffen and the food*
;054;: Wait! What about him? *points at Mac* Can't just leave him here.
;478;: As much as I'd like to, Quacks is right. *drags Mac onto the boat*
;325;: *pushes off the shore and drifts away* Eck, what is this pinkish goo on me? *wipes off in the water*
;478;: *watches the mansion in the distance as it gets farther and farther away* Oh, how I wish I could've burned it down.
:611:: *pulls some gauze out of the food bag and wraps it around wound* It's gone now, Erika. What's done is done.
;325;: Can't wait to get back home....to my bar. Boy, I miss that place.
;054;: Least you've got a place to go home to. If I ever did have a home, I sure don't remember it.
:611:: First thing I'm doing when I get home is I'm gonna cook a nice large breakfast for me, myself and I. What about you, Erika? What will you do?
;478;: ...I've devoted the last 2 and a half weeks of my life to hunting down murderers. Feels like 2 and a half years. Feels like all I've ever known. *lays down, physically distraught* Feels like this isn't the end. *stares up at the sky*
;325;: Don't be such a downer, 'Rika. It can only get better from here, right?
;478;: *points up at the sky*
;054;: *looks up* Those clouds....are very black.
:611:: Looks like a...storm.
