ONE Human

Epilogue

Ok guys, now that I've heard about the ending and how poorly it's received I've got an idea to make my ending worth it. I'm gonna summarize a bit of what happens in the epilogue and then I'm gonna give my normal way of writing to end this story off. With all said and done, hope you all enjoy the ending of ONE human!

Pretty much everything in the ONE finale plays out as normal. Except when Liam is about to go and try to kill Airy, Summer in her weakened state tries calling out and telling him not to do it. However he says he has to do this for the greater good. Summer then gets to witness everything, the fight that ensues, Liam breaking his leg, and Airy dying. Meanwhile Pearl is upset with everyone else about what is going and in a surprising turn, he hugs Moldy because he doesn't know what to do. Considering some of his friends got turned back into their inanimate selves, he's scared the same is gonna happen to him. Summer while terrified of what happened, is numb now due to the fact that she knows she'll never be home at this point. However, right before it officially ends, Liam goes over to her, sits with her, holds her hand, and says "You'll be ok."

(Summer's POV)

It had been a few weeks ever since we got rid of Airy, and we've mostly been silent as Liam had been trying to find a way home for everyone there. I had felt very sick throughout all that time, and there was nothing that could help it get better. I had the thought that maybe if I filled myself with water then I would feel much better, but water would be much harder to control the spilling of it. So I just sat there doing nothing, except talk to Liam from time to time. However, then came one day. It started off normally until Liam came over to me looking a bit surprised. I asked what was up and he said "..I might've found something." So I helped myself up as best as I could since he couldn't help me that much. We helped each other over to the cave to see what was up, he had found a line of code deep in Airy's files that decides where the contestants go.

I looked just as surprised as he was and as a way to test it out, I said "Use it on..Moldy." Once we entered the code and clicked enter, we looked at the planet and Moldy was surprisingly not there. I then thought about the power this held and decided to make my first confident choice. I looked over at Liam and said "Let's take it from here." We then used it on Tray, and she was gone, then Whippy Creamy, then we sent the others home, including Scenty and Bryce. However to give a fresh start to the others, we sent the inanimate objects to the object world. The only one left was Pearl, and before Liam could send him back, I stopped him. "Let me check something." I looked serious saying it, as I went to check out the codes on the computer. There was another code which seemed to teleport anyone to the plane, I knew what I had to do.

I looked over at Liam, and gave a saddening look, knowing I was gonna do something that would leave me stranded. But I knew this was the only choice at this point to help the one person who has helped me so much throughout this journey. He asked what happened and I replied with "...Liam, you deserve this more than I do. I'll never get home anyway, you have things going well. The world needs you more than me. Bryce, Owen, Scenty, they'd all be happy seeing you ok. Thank you for everything, see you later." I then looked up Liam's page on the website and typed in the code to teleport him to the plane. He looked shocked and worried about what may happen to me, so right as I was about to click enter he said "Summer!! Wa-" and he disappeared. He was on the plane again, I then typed in the code that took him home and once I pressed enter he was out of the plane. I could here him screaming my name and telling me to not do this, but I was not gonna have my parent suffer anymore.

Now I was alone, the last thing I had to do before leaving this place was take care of Pearl. I remember the kill code Texty told us about before he died, and that's when I used the code on Pearl. However, before I left the cave, I noticed coordinates in the files, in which the folder said [HUMAN_W0RLD] this could've been the ticket to me going back home after all this time. After some consideration, I carved the coordinates on some wood, pulled it out and left after turning off the computer. I knew what I was gonna do next, I went back to the hut, grabbed the laptop and headed to the lake. That's when I stepped into the water, not looking back, and let the rest of my lava poor out of me. I lost consciousness and let myself drown. However that was not the end of my story.

After a few minutes, I woke up in the waiting room with all of my Lava back. However, it wasn't the same as it was before. I was now on the Carolina Beach where I first started on object earth, I didn't know what to think now. I did see the radio with two beach chairs, but I looked around more and to my surprise, I saw Liam. He was calling out to me, I wanted to go over and give a hug but right as I took the first few steps, I heard crying. I stopped and looked around and saw Pearl at the edge of the beach. After thinking about what to do, I headed over to him. "I had to bring you here, Airy isn't gonna make you inanimate anymore. You're ok now." Pearl looked up and hugged me, sobbing even more. The scene changed to the actual waiting room and Liam was gone, I didn't care as I hugged my friend, comforting him as best as I can.

Once he settled down, he asked what we were gonna do and I said "There's a radio that can send us anywhere." I then went over to it once I got up, and took out the wood with the coordinates with my world on it. I adjusted the radio to have the coordinates in place and I checked to make sure. Pearl asked "What are you doing?" I then replied with "...I'm gonna go home..I think." Pearl looked confused and said "What do you mean you think? Weren't you trying to get home ever since we got sent to the plane?" "..yeah...but I'm not so sure anymore. Nobody in my life has supported me too much other than you and everyone I've made friends with." He said "Well..no matter what you choose, I'll always support you." I put my hand on the radio antenna but I couldn't move my hand. I thought about everyone I've met up to this point, everything I went through as Lava Bucket, and those who actually made me happy. I took my hand off the radio, and ruined the coordinates, before throwing the wood far.

"...I can't do it." I became more upset as I started to cry. I couldn't give up a part of myself that has made me true express who I really want to be. Pearl comforted me as he kept telling me that it was ok, that however didn't stop me from crying harder. "...Losing you, everyone from the plane..and Lava Bucket...feels worse than losing my human self." Pearl looked a bit surprising and said "..so, what are you saying?" I replied with "..I'm keeping her, I'm gonna find us a way home...back to everyone else." Pearl smiled, knowing from now on both of us were gonna stick together and find a way, even without the notes. I stopped crying and looked confident, I grabbed the laptop, thankful that Texty was somewhat still with us. Pearl asked "What are we gonna do?" I replied with "We use the radio, I don't know where any of these coordinates will take us, but one things for sure. One of these leads to home, and it's our new mission to find it."
