Angie and Aloy looked up at the sky and saw the planet heading towards them. "It's hopeless. Everything's gonna die."
"We can stop it. Come on." He held her hand as they both ran out of the forest and headed to where the planet was directed. Angie looked up as she saw Zélote's form, causing discord to the sky and the ground as everyone in the town became monstrous mutants without a soul. She felt her heart bucket as she was losing hope. "I'm scared."
"I am too." They got to the town centre where they found Simeona all mangled up. Angie was broken seeing this. "SIMEONA! SIMEONA NO!" She ran over to her, holding her passed out body. "NO! NO!" She cried out as she held onto her. Aloy felt his heart break more as he felt weaker. "Well well well Sirrrrr Aloysius." said 'Taron' behind him as he turned around. The three boys were there. "So, is this what you men want? I know I can't do anything anymore but this isn't you! Mawan you know this better than anyone!"
"I jusssst couldn't resssissst Aloy. Zélote issss a very good talker."
"I can't believe he's done this to everyone."
"Well, what can you do? He's not in you anymore." 'Kevin' clicked as Aloy looked up at Zélote, seeing he was getting stronger and stronger. He then looked at the townsfolk who were crumbling around, making pained groans and moans as they weren't themselves anymore. "There's one thing I can do here." He looked down at the ring and he blew on it. It glowed as Zélote looked down at Aloy with a offended look. "I still have his ring. So I can stop him." He took it off and threw it to the ground. The crystal in it broke as the million souls broke free and flew into Aloy, making him float and become his own version of Zélote. Instead of seaweed he had different kinds of alloy and earth on him and his eyes became three. His arms became doubled and he grew to the size that Zélote was. "What's this? A petty attempt to stop me Aloy? You might be another me but you can't defeat me. I have the whole universe wrapped around my hands!"
"You may have that Zélote. But do you think this is what Alice would want from you?"
"DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME WHAT MY WIFE WOULD THINK OF THIS! YOU NEVER KNEW HER AND YOU NEVER DID! SHE'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOUR KIND AND I WILL AVENGE HER ANYWAY I CAN! YOU NEVER KNEW HER! YOU NEVER KNEW HER!"
Zélote tried to tackle Aloy but he was equal strength. They pushed each other by their hands as Angie looked around and looked back down at Simeona. "I'm so so so sorry I got you guys into this. I didn't mean to hurt you all. I just wanted love."
The boys walked towards her, ready to ravage. She held Simeona closer and closer as she waited. Nothing happened but only a twang could be heard. Angie looked up and it was Amelia with a golf club. She had whacked them over the head and knocked them out. "She sacrificed herself. I'm so sorry Angie."
"It's.." Angie looked up and she sighed. "I have to turn her into a mutant. There's one more amulet. I just hope whoever's in it's dormant." Angie muttered as she made her finger sharp and cut a line around Simeona's neck. Blood spilled out as Angie and Amelia looked up at the sky seeing the seafoam green smoke fog. They then saw a pink spirit float around as it floated down and paused for a moment. It slowly went into her neck as it reformed. Simeona gained conscious, holding onto Angie. "Mom, I'm sorry.."
"You don't have to apologize." Simeona looked up, opening her eyes a little. They were pure black. "Angie?"
"Yeah. It's me. I'm sorry I got you guys involved into this."
"It's..it's okay. Is the world ending?"
"Yeah, let's go keep safe." Amelia suggested as she helped Angie and Simeona up. They looked around for somewhere to hide as they dodged the ravage mutants. They then found a small shop that was perfect. They went in and hid underneath the counters.


Aloy and Zélote were still at each other's throat as the planet got closer. Aloy looked and held his hands out, ready to catch. "YOU'RE GOING TO KILL EVERYONE WITH THE ELEMENTALS?!"
"YOU DON'T GET IT ALOYSIUS!"  Zélote cried as he became more monstrous. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HUMAN RACE HAS DONE TO ME! I'VE BEEN RIDICULED AND HUMILIATED MY WHOLE LIFE AND THIS IS THE ONE THING THAT HAS MADE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT EVERYTHING! THE ONE THING THAT HAS MADE ME LOVED BY EVERYONE. WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?! WHY CAN'T YOU GET THAT I WANTED A NORMAL LIFE AS WELL! I WANTED RESPECT, LOVE! I JUST WANTED TO BE HAPPY! AND ALL I GOT WAS SHIT!" 
He swung his arm across the town, sending the buildings and the outside mutants into the forest surrounding the town. "IF I HAVE TO DO THIS IT'S FOR A FUCKING REASON!"
Aloy looked back at the planet and then Zélote. "I'VE DONE SO MUCH TO FUCKING HELP AND IT'S LED ME TO THIS! NO ONE EVEN CARES ANYMORE SO WHY SHOULD I EXPECT IT?!"
Aloy then got to thinking and how Boris was brought back. "Zélote. I just thought of something." Aloy held his shoulders and they both stared into each other's eyes. "You brought back Boris for your sick games."
"To you."
"I'm speaking here. You can bring back the others, but only if you stop all of this. That way, you've actually helped."
Zélote had a shred of humanity flash in his eyes as he glanced at everything, realizing what he meant.
"Aloysius you know if I do that, it won't reverse everything that I've done. You know that!"
"This crystal is taking over the both of us so you better."
"But-"
"No buts Zélote, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" Aloy yelled as Zélote saw the ring and swiped it from the ground. "You asked for it Aloysius, don't say I didn't warn you." He then threw the ring into the sky and straight to the planet that was moments away from hitting the clock tower in the middle of the town. A brief second after, everything went white. There was nothing for a moment before it cleared up and the whole town was gone, pieces of it left and the girls huddling over each other. Angie looked up as she realized what happened. "Holy shit."
Simeona and Amelia looked around to see what was still standing. The trees were still there, like a wall protecting them. The sky was laced with the seafoam green from in the cult. "He's gone." Angie stood up, helping Simeona get up. "They're both gone."
Amelia pointed to where the bodies of the boys were. "And they're gone."
"Everyone's gone."
The three of them felt the same feeling. Dread and misery. "Hey look, the phone's still there."
Simeona pointed out. The other two looked as Simeona stumbled over to it. She leant against the broken window pane and ringed the number for Danny.

"Danny Kalida, what's up?"
"It's Simeona. The girl asking for the blood moon."
"....Are you okay kid?"
"I'm...I'm not human anymore but I'm still me. Listen we need help. The whole town's a shithole and we don't want this mutant shit to spread. Would you be able to come to the UK and help us border the town from everything? Please."
"Are you sure? You and your friends won't be able to leave."
"If that's something, we'll abide. Just please."
"...I'll be there, I'll get some of my coworkers to help."
"Thanks Danny."
"No problem. Stay safe."
"I will. Bye."
"See you later."
She hung up and yawned as she walked back to Amelia and Angie. "I'm tired, are moths nocturnal?"
"Yeah, honestly we all need sleep. Let's go back to the mansion. If it's still there. We'll get some energy up. What did the guy say?" Amelia asked as they started walking back to the mansion.
"Danny asked if we were sure but it's necessary. Nobody deserves what Angie went through."
"True that Simmy, true that."



Dew walked through the outskirts of the town, whimpering as he limped. He sniffed for the boys, wanting them to show up and take care of him. He sat down somewhere and laid down, feeling tired. If he could sleep he would. But he didn't. He watched the birds tweet and squirrels ran amongst him. He wanted to see the boys again. He was about to close his eyes and sleep but then he was woken again by a mitt on his head. He glanced up and it was Boris, his eyes were back to normal and his chest was bandaged up. So were his arms. "I'm sorry little boy, I never meant for any of this. Aloy just woke me up and I thought we were gonna get everyone back. But I was wrong. Zélote was pulling the strings. Now Aloy's gone, the boys are gone and I've harmed everything with the girls. If I could find a way to reverse all this I would. I feel like utter shit for all of this. I don't even get how I'm alive! Simeona she killed me, and I became a mutant! I...." He started to sob as Dew got up and nuzzled his snout into his hand. "I'm scared... I'm scared of everything now."
"Don't be Borrrrrris." 'Taron's voice spoke from the bushes as Dew and Boris jumped. "...You're not Taron."
"Exactly, that's the name of this vessel. How long has it been Borrrrris?" He smirked as he came out of the bushes.
"...What...what do you want Tyneasu?" Boris asked hesitantly as Dew's ears went back.

 "You see, Zélote and Aloy arrrrren't gone, They'rrre still herrrrrre. In all of us. And we think that we should sprrrrrread this phenomenon. I'm banding up the mutants sprrrinkled arrrround herrrre and we'rrrre having ourrrr own council. You still have use forrrr us. I prrrropose that you become ourrrr rrrrright hand man. What do you say?" Tyneasu offered as he stared down at Dew, making him whimper more.
"Nothing you could suggest could make me want to do this. I never wanted to do anything of this and the only reason I did was because I was too dumb to see what was really happening. I only found out when I became a mutant."
"But if you join us, we can brrrring you back to that, you'll be rrreunited with him Borrrris."
"..."
"..."
"Go to hell Tyneasu."
"The offerrrr's always up. If you change yourrrr mind."


 Tyneasu chuckled sinisterly as he went back into the bushes, Dew watching him. "I'm sorry boy. Taron's not there anymore. Come on, let's go back to the town. Try and build it back up."
