Escape from Starr Park

Chapter 29: The Final Battle

Neither Shelly or Colt have their guns in, so they can't do much in terms of damage. Although, being some of the first brawlers to be released, they have the most experience, strategy-wise. "I didn't know you guys manufactured a ton of these robots!" Poco yells. "Who else would?!" Mortis yells back. "They make these robots for us to fight in the game!" He continues.

"Poco! Mortis! Colette!" Shelly calls them "You try to distract the robot! Colt and I will find a control panel!" "On it!" Colette yells back. The two brawlers run away to look for their goal, as the other 3 start fighting. "CHARGE!!" Mortis yells out, shovel in hand, over his head. He starts to hit the foot of the robot, leaving a small dent. Colette joins in, trying to smack it with her book.

The massive robot easily kicks them away, hitting the ground hard. "Crud! I forgot we lost our game power." Mortis says, slowly getting up. "If that's the case, I can't even heal you." Poco checks up on the two. As both Colette and Mortis get back on their feet, they continue the battle. "Man, you really remind me of Meg right now!" Poco yells at the robot. "Except WAY bigger..."

They try their best to dodge its attack, barely being able to land their blows on it. "We just hope we can atleast weaken it until Shelly and Colt find the control panel." Poco tries to brighten the mood. "Yeah, what are you doing in terms of attack?!" Mortis yells at him. "Dude! I'm sorry! I can't attack with a guitar! It'll break!" He says in defense. Though behind them, a scream plays.

"TAKE THIS!" It yells. A barrel is thrown at the robot, it falls back and is stunned for a while. "Who is that?!" Collete asks. "Ahoy, there!" The 3 turn to the sound. "It's me! Darryl!" He points a finger at himself. "I mean... It's me! Denzyl Mcguire! " "Darryl, what're you doing here?!" Mortis exclaims. "I decided to help! The rest of the guys are still evacuating everyone in the building."

As Darryl tries to have a pleasant conversation, the enemy robot swings it arms to attack and hits Darryl. "Yowch!" He flinches. "That's why we need to actually fight the thing!" Mortis says. "Right! Right on!" Darryl says. He squares up and is ready to fight. "Bring it on! I threw the barrel and now it's broken!" They charge right into the fight. "I hope Shelly and Colt found the thing..."

Switching POVs, We follow what Shelly and Colt are doing. "Where is that thing?" Shelly murmurs to herself, running alongside Colt. "Not sure myself... We just presumed there'd be one since they manufacture those things as well." After a bit more time, they seem to have found it. "Now, we just need control it indirectly!" Shelly says, heavily panting from all of the running.

The two quickly catch their breath until they start randomly pressing buttons. "This should help them a bunch!" Colt exclaims. Back to the fight. Mortis and Colette continuously keeps hitting the robot with their weapon of choice. Both Poco and Darryl try to attack with their hands. "I'm still not breaking the guitar you guys!" "Yeah, sure... My fists are starting to hurt!" Darryl says.

Though all of a sudden, the robot loses control, being hard to maneuver. "They did it!" Mortis exclaims, cheerfully. "Thank God! I'm exhausted!" Darryl adds. Both Shelly and Colt start heading back to the other Brawlers. The rest of the brawlers wait outside the park's building. "Man, they need to hurry and get out of the building. I wanna burn the place down." Amber says.

"You can't just do that! You'll get charged for Arson!" Byron says. "This isn't a game anymore!" Amber sighs. "I suppose you're right." "You three, get out... I... want to deal with this guy personally." Colette requests the brawlers present in the room. "Sure thing..." Darryl replies "Colt and Shelly should be getting here eventually." Poco adds to the statement. They leave.

"I can't believe..." She starts to speak up "Words can't express how I feel about this." The man stays still, lying down on the floor, too tired to get up. "I can't express my rage... I can't BELIEVE you'd do such a thing." Colette approaches the man, limping. "HOW DARE YOU!" She kneels down on top of him. "You're the one behind all of this!" She grasps her book tightly, raising it.

"I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE WHO COULD FORGIVE YOU FOR YOUR ACTIONS!" Out of control by pure rage and anger, she uncontrollably start smashing his head with the book. Both Shelly and Colt enter the room from the control panel. "Colette!? What're you doing!?" Colt calls. Shelly runs over to her to try and hold her back from her rage. "Calm down, Colette!" She exclaims.

Colette starts crying, Shelly letting go of her. She falls to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. "It's all going to be okay..." Colt approaches the two. "Starr Park will soon be in ruins. We won't have to go through this anymore." Despite his effort, she continues to cry. "You can explain to us at another time... Let's get out of here." Shelly says. She, alongside Colt help Colette up and ready.

They lead her outside of the entire park. "Oh, I sure hope they're alright..." Piper exclaims worryingly. All of a sudden, they see the three exit, and approaching the large group. "There they are!" Griff (Real name: Griffin Iyonson) points out. "Oh, thank goodness you guys are okay!" Lola calls out. "Yeah, we're all fine..." The large group has a short moment of rejoice and cheer.

At the time, police cars start rushing over to the setting. They notice this. "We've gotten a call about the finding of a person who's been reported 'missing.'" A police officer exits the car. He notices the faces of the large group. "Hey... All of you guys were reported missing. We'll take you guys in for questioning soon." "We have lots to say..." Fang says. Everyone lets out a sigh of relief.

They soon enter the police station, taken in for questioning. Mr P's turn was the important. He handed him the suitcase full of the files taken from Starr Park. "This confirms they have, indeed, kidnapped you guys, considering they have lots of information on you guys." After the long session, going through all 50+ brawlers, they've decided the park should be taken down.

"We'll take you guys in, for now, we'll call in all of your families and such, let them know we've found you." The police officer says. "Thank you so much...!" Shelly thanks them. "Working there must have been the biggest mistake of my life!" She adds. "For now, we'll send you to the hospital to see if you're in good condition, and after that, everything will turn back to normal."
