The Obelus

-16- Finn to the rescue!

You and Gen come out, just to reveal a whole bunch of Obelus guards standing, with guns pointing at them.

Suddenly, Finn jumps out of nowhere and shoots the Obelus guards with rapid fire bullets.

"'Hey Y/N. You okay?"

"Finn?!"

"Where the hell did you come from?"

"I took the things you said to heart and wanted to apologise to you but you weren't in your room when I went to find you."

"I figured there's where else you could have really gone and well since the saving Finn mission wasn't really finished you would have came back here."

"Oh, hello there Finn."

"Anyway, I just wanted to make up for uh killing June and all that..."

". And you're forgiven by the way. Just don't use your precision skills to kill people on our side."

"Okay... but when we get out of here, I have something to tell you alright?"

"Mkay. We gotta get going though!"

You pull Finn out of the room.

"I know the way around here too well. I've been through a bit too much." mutters Finn.

You get out with the help of some grenades.

"Now Finn, what were you gonna say when we were in there?"

"No one knows this, but I am able to bring someone back to life."

"That's great news! Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"Well I've told you now. You can choose to bring one person back to life. Choose wisely."

"Well Gen, who do you think we should bring back? I want to hear your suggestions!"

"We pick person that benefit Liberal Militia. Strong powerful."

"Hmm.."

"Oh, I know! We can bring Mini back! Do you want them back though?"

"Good idea! Mini is!"

You and Gen motion to Finn that you've decided.

Finn nods and with a sorrowful expression or her face, starts beginning his process.

There is a white flash. You and Gen close your eyes.

"It must be working Y/N!"

You and Gen open your eyes again and see Mini.

"Mini, you're back! I missed you so much!"

"How did I come back.. from the dead?"

"Oh, Finn brought you back to life! But... where's Finn..."

There is no luck. Now you realise why Finn didn't tell anyone about his secret. He would disappear for the other person to come back to life.

"Guys, it's no use searching. Finn sacrificed herself to revive Mini. Forget it... we should've asked Finn if something would happen if he'd revived someone."

The 3 of you bow your heads in respect and as a last note to Finn.

"Hey! What's going on out here!"

A few Obelus guards rush out to investigate the massive flash caused by the revival process.

"Hey Mini it's great to see you again and all but we better get out of here before we're put back... there."

You, Mini and Gen sprint over to Finn's car. Even though she killed June you still can't help but feel slightly saddened being in her car.

You and Mini and Gen climb into Finn's car and drive off.

While driving away from the facility, you look over the cliff edge, the camp that once belonged to Olivia, where she took care of any escapees, the first act of kindness most escapes felt in a long time. Gone, in an array of ash and dust. Long abandoned and empty, the place where you first learnt about most of the outside world, the place that started this whole journey, all burnt to ash.

Mini opens the radio and turns up the volume. Soon after, it starts raining.

"Ugh, it's so hard to drive in the rain. Can we turn off the music?"

You stare at Mini who is head bopping to the radio.

"B-but Y/N, this is my favourite song! You can't cancel it!"

"Mini, it's distracting me!"

You reach to turn the radio off but Mini slaps your hand away.

"Mini, no!"

You and Mini start slapping each other and soon, you lose control of the car. In the back of the car, is Gen, staring at both of you with deep concern.

Not long after, the car hits a cliff edge and flips over. You fall on top of Mini.

"Get off me you idiot!"

"I'm trying to!"

Gen watches the whole thing unravel in amazement.

"Gen! Help us goddammit!"

Gen laughs jokingly while lounging underneath the shade of the car.

Gen soon comes and tries to help you and Mini, but then realises you two are stuck.

"Sorry? You. You. Stuck! No. Can't. Heavy. Very much?"

"Oh, my god. Are we going to be stuck here forever? Try to call for help, or find a cellphone!"

"I see one... let me get it."

Mini slides their hand in an attempt to reach the cellphone, but their hand gets stuck in the attempt to do so.

"Ah, dang! My hand got stuck!"

"Mini... did you notice where it got stuck?"

"No..."

"Dumbass, around my hips!"

"Ah, sorry."

Gen scoots up close to watch in more detail. You and Mini struggle and Gen tries to help.

"Y/N, I'm hungry."

"I think there's a burrito in the backseat. Gen, could you get it for us?"

Gen smiles and starts searching for the burrito. They find it and give it to Mini.

"Right... more right... yes no... down. Yes! Now I'll bite."

"Hey! I also asked for food!"

"Fine... You bite this side and I'll bite the other side."

Both you and Mini start eating on the burrito and accidentally end up kissing.

"Oh..."

Mini looks at you in half disgust, half disappointment.

There is awkward silence for a while, but you speak up.

"Gen, there should be a phone in the back. Try calling someone!"

Gen calls, but the rain is too heavy and the signal is broken.

"No. Signal? Rain! Heavy."

"It's okay, try again."

The receiver speaks, but the rain breaks the signal.

"Hel-*** Thi *** ar** wher***"

"understand? Can't. Me Gen. friend. Stuck?"

"Please-***** that****** beg****fir***** en***s*****"

The signal cuts off fully and leaves the phone with a high pitched ring of static.

"Ugh, I guess we are stuck in here, alone, until the rain dies. Dead for a month and I already forgot how shit life is."

"C'mon, at least you aren't alone, you're with me and I'm with you."

"Yeah. I'm too glad to be back."

"I'm glad you're back too."
