Fatal Order

Part 6: Nothing But The Truth - FINAL

The door in front of them looked like that of one you'd see in a sci-fi movie, it was like a giant door to a bunker.

It was a massive door that was around 10 feet tall with a control panel on the side of it.

This was unneeded for them to leave, however, as there was also an available key slot for Adam to use.

Just before they each said their piece, Adam made sure the key fit inside the hole, which it did, before he backed up and stood beside the others once more, staring in awe at the door between the Phantom Sector's building, and reality.

"Well..." Alex sighed, "I guess this is it, huh? Game over..."

"That's right," Adam agreed, "we won."

"I have no idea what to expect on the other side..." Maria gasped. "Didn't you say that video could have been completely fake, Faith?"

"It could have been," Faith replied, "but like I said to Alex, we can only know once we heave this door open and take a look at the world outside."

"I almost feel... scared about it," Olivia confessed. "Like, what are we gonna get?... y'know? I wonder what Jobari would say in a situation like this."

"I'm thinking about what Dante would say... he'd probably be all like: 'Let's get outta this shithole and fuck this company UP!'" Alex mocked, laughing to himself.

"Language, Alex," Faith scowled.

"S-sorry..." Alex laughed.

"Haha," Maria laughed, "gettin' scolded by your mommy, huh? Haha."

"Y-you shut up, Maria-!" Alex blushed.

"Hmmm?" Faith smiled lightly. "Alex? Is this girl your friend? Orrrr is she something else?"

"Wha-?! H-hey!!" Alex panicked. "What the h-hell are you saying?"

"Language, again, mister," she chuckled.

"Whatever the world looks like... I'll face it with a smile!... write, you guys?" Nathan declared uncertainly.

"Definitely," Maria agreed. "If the world is really destroyed, then it's up to us to build it back together! No matter what lies ahead, we'll find a way to make it work!"

"Yeah!" Alex chuckled. "If my Dad really did ruin the world.... then it's my duty to build back what he destroyed!"

"*Our* duty, Alex," Adam chuckled. "You don't think we'd leave this all to you, do you? How foolish of you."

"Thank you, Adam" He smiled. "But it was my... father who did this. My own flesh and blood. It's up to me to repair what he broke."

"Well," Faith huffed, "let us see what the world has in store for us then, yes?"

"Indeed," Adam agreed. "Alex... do you want to do the honours?"

"Me?" Alex asked in shock, pointing at himself.

"Yeah, you, stupid!" Maria demanded, slapping his back playfully. "Open this damn door and let's face the world together, you and me!"

"If you all insist-" he hesitantly agreed, as he stepped forward toward the door, and placed his cold hand on the key.

For a moment there, he just stared at it.

It was a weird feeling... like he was scared of what lie on the outside.
