Chapter 183: Endgame, Pt 2
Cassidy Gold looked around at the destruction and helped around the debris and through the streets. He had been at the station looking for Weaver when this all started and had saved Harmony from being crushed by a piece of sheet rock that had fallen on her desk, as the entire station seemed to collapse around them. They had gotten out and saw the horror that was wrought before them. It felt like something out of a movie, but they were in the middle of it and it was very real. The ominous storm clouds swirled above and vines of all things were growing at an exponential rate. They sprouted from beneath them, cracking and destroying the roads and concrete. They were wrapping around buildings and structures, as well as the highways and bridges, destroying the city's infrastructure in a matter of moments. He could see the national guard trucks making their way into Seattle and military helicopters circling the city.
"The military...that's not good..." Cassidy mentioned.
"What do you mean?" Harmony asked.
"Haven't you ever seen a disaster or alien movie?" he questioned, but she still looked a bit lost.
"Whenever there's something going on like this that the government can't figure out how to contain, they decide to use nukes to deal with it," he replied. Her eyes widened in horror.
"You think they may send a nuclear warhead to Seattle?" she asked. He shrugged.
"If they can't figure out how to stop this, they might. And considering that we have no idea what the hell this is...I think we need to get out of this city," he mentioned.
"But how? The bridges are gone and boats are already leaving by the hundreds," she said.
"Then we see if we can smuggle ourselves out on one of those boats," he suggested.
"And how do you plan to get past the National Guard at the Marina?" she asked. He smirked.
"I have my ways. You in?" he asked. She bit her bottom lip. She barely knew him, but something told her that she needed to trust him and she nodded.
As they started toward the Marina though, there was a whooshing sound. She looked back, only to see a rainbow light washing over the entire city. It rushed through them both and everything came back to them like a ton of bricks. It didn't have any kind of affect on the normal people around them and only served to further confuse the residents of Seattle. But for them...it changed everything and returned that which had been lost to them.
"Tink..." Neal uttered and she smiled, as her eyes watered.
"Neal..." she squeaked, as they embraced in a tight hug, before their lips met passionately. As they parted, they looked in the opposite direction of the Marina and toward the storm clouds that loomed over the epicenter. And now that their memories were back, they knew that epicenter was where the battle raged.
"The curse is broken," she said.
"Yeah...but the battle isn't over. Let's go..." he said, as she opened hand and willed her wand back into her hand, shocking many around them. But they paid those people no mind.
"Magic is here..." she said, looking at him.
"We need to find my Dad, Henry, and the others," he replied, as they joined hands again and began running toward the battle.
Several moments earlier
The wind whipped violently around them, as the air was thick with magic. The resurrection amulet glowed green and an inky blackness leaked from it, spreading its poison into the Earth. This blackness would cause death to everything they knew and all sentient life and resurrect a new world in something akin to a twisted garden of Eden.
