5 days remaining-.... 4 day-... 2 hours remaining.
Mur: Remember that we had seven days? Yeah no. We got two hours. And what do they mean by skip to the end? The end of what?
Eric: What kind of sick twisted plot is that?!
Foxbold: I believe such a thing is called "deus ex diabolus". Well I was going to suggest reallocating resources from your world to jumpstart the artifacts so we would be able to catch up to the bad guys. losing the great sky graphics is a small price to pay but that would take too long.
Niko: What now? I lost my key so that wouldn't have even worked.
Foxbold: You have to become the artifact. Literally. You used it enough that part of its power is embedded in you. But You will have to literally burn your soul and I can tell your soul isn't big enough.
DDDeekin: What is this? Darkest Souls where the stronger monster you are the bigger your soul?
Foxbold: No. that has nothing to do with it. Complex beings have a bigger soul while simpler beings have tiny souls. Niko has about half of what I would normally have expected. Someone else has to help.
Niko: Burn my soul? Sounds scary. Would I die?
Foxbold: It COULD kill you. In the permanent sort of death with no afterlife. But do we have a choice?
FarReach: I have nothing but soul to burn. surely we are enough.
Kiteo: Really? There has to be some skill that lets us bypass having to do all this.
FarReach: This is taking into account skill they bypass normal reality. No more talk. We do this now.
Foxbold: I will have to join.
Ishi: Can't we just talk about this? We shouldn't jump-
Niko: It's my life. I hate talk. I'm burning.
Their plan would have never worked. The three of them would burn their existence away only to open a gate to a reality close to where the mythos went and they would fight a copy of them but it would never be the real one. But for an unknown reason they were able to succeed. Only because they happen to be where reality is thinnest. The group hurries through the gate and instead of the mythos beings there are two people. The entire dimension is a black void.
Coal: This can't be the right spot! Where-
One of the beings is like a person made of pure shadow and with a cape that is made of black flames. The only light coming from this being was the crimson flames that makes up it's eyes.
???: You expected some NPCs with Cthulhu mythos name tags for a final boss battle. You are in the right place, but you are wrong about everything else. First to get this straight. This isn't a battle. This is the end. The end of you and all you know and don't know. I am the inevitable end.
The other being looks like a spirit of a man that changes race. He doesn't even seem to realise what is going on. He is talking to an orb of light that is the first of an endless line of orbs of light.
???: I let you in because you helped me get to this point. Some of you are not invited so no need to hold the gate open any longer.
Niko, Foxbold, and the shell of FarReach struggle to maintain the gate as the dark being closes it. The three burst into a flash of light before fading.
