TIMETALE - Chapter 6: Long Decision.

Invader: Look man, I need you to check on Bloxxer. He’s uh…

Well, I’m just worried Vestige might have gotten to him.

Captain: If you insist, I guess..

Invader: …thanks.

Captain: Yarr.

*Captain shuts the door.*

Line: Woah. Didn’t think you would actually do that.

Invader: What?

Line: Aren’t you feelin’ any regret right now?

*Invader looks curious.*

Invader: I.. I don’t know what you’re talking about??

Line: What? I can tell from my perspective. You know something bad will happen to Captain Ivory. I can see it in those alien-looking eyes.

Don’t you want to do the right thing here? Go on. Save him.

Invader: H-how did you..

*Line suddenly vanishes.*

*Invader sits for a while to process everything but eventually gets up, and runs out the door. He couldn't bear being responsible for a murder.*

Invader: There’s no time to explain! Please, just let me through! I’m not the Host you’re looking for!

End Battle

Astral Hermit: Well, who.. who are you..?

Invader: I’m Invader. The one commiting genocide against your race is Vestige. If I can save Captain, we might be able to solve all of this peacefully, and I might be able to save everyone..

Astral Hermit: I.. see. Well, I’ll uh.. follow behind!

Invader: What? Why?

Astral Hermit: You’re gonna want more help, right? I’ll just come and.. help you to!

Invader: Oh ok. Well hurry up!

*In the distance.*

Captain: Yar.. Bloxxer!.. Wait, what the heck..?

*Captain noticed the machinery inching closer, but luckily was able to escape and push through, even though it cost him a lot of stamina.*

Invader: There he is! Come on!

Captain: Invader, Hermit!!! WATCH OUT!!!

Captain: …Bloxxer..?

…

*Bloxxer falls. The machines immediately stop working.*

Hermit: Bloxxer... You're... You're hurt...

Bloxxer: Hurt? It's nothing.

Next time, maybe don’t try to check up on me again.. ok guys?

Invader: Bloxxer... I...

Get out of here! I'll take care of this!

*They leave.*

heh... "It's nothing"... No... s-somehow, with just one hit… I'm already… Already… D... damn it.... Equinox… Starlight... Ronin… Anti Mother… Just like that, I… I've failed you all.

… No… My body... It feels like it's splitting apart. Like any instant... I'll scatter into a million pieces.

…

*Bloxxer begins to regain shape.*

But… Deep, deep in my soul. There's a burning feeling I can't describe. A burning feeling that WON'T let me die.

This isn't just about Enemies anymore, is it? If you get past me, you'll...You'll destroy them all, won't you? Enemies... Hosts... Everyone...Everyone's hopes. Everyone's dreams. Vanquished in an instant.

…

But I WON'T let you do that. Right now, everyone in the world...I can feel their hearts beating as one. And we all have ONE goal. To defeat YOU.

Host.

…

No, WHATEVER you are. For the sake of the whole world… I, Bloxxerman, will strike you down!

GYAHHHHHHHHH!!!

*Bloxxer transforms.*

You're gonna have to try a little harder than THAT.

*Vestige doesn’t speak.*

Enter Battle

*But all things must come to an end.*

*blast.*

…

Damn it...So even THAT power... It wasn't enough...?...Heh...Heheheh...If you...If you think I'm gonna give up hope, you're wrong.

Cause I've... Got my friends behind me.

Ronin told me that he would watch me fight you… And if anything went wrong, he would... evacuate everyone.

By now he’s called Anti Mother and told her to absorb the 6 Host SOULs.

And with that power...This world will live on...!

*Bloxxer reduces to ashes.*

[YOU WON.]

End battle

*Vestige advances past the bridge, emotionless, into the cave and into the Mirai Mirror. Invader and Captain rush to Bloxxer’s soul.*

Invader: I.. I’m sorry…

Captain: He… he tried his best…

Invader: He’s.. he’s going to kill everyone.. isn’t he?

Captain: I… I don’t know anymore, but we have to stop him! Come on!

Invader: Wait-

*Captain was already gone.*

Hermit: Hey, wait. What’s that?

*Hermit picks up a mysterious item.*

Hermit: Oh, this… I remember this! It has some kind of special power that makes you more powerful when you eat it! Here.

[You got the LegendaryHero!]

Now let’s go!
