-Time skip to a week later for plot purposes-

"Yes! I'm alive!" Roman screamed in delight when we revived him. "Finally!"
"Welcome home!" Olivia said. She was most affected by Roman dying, since they were best friends.
Meanwhile, my mind was somewhere else. I was still worried about Samuel gaining control. About Isaac giving everything to Samuel. I still couldn't believe him, after everything..

"Is that-?" Samuel was setting up TNT near the flag. No, not again. This couldn't be happening, not for the second time!

And everything was gone. Everything. The flag, the election area, the festival area, everything.

I completely broke. I'd worked so hard to rebuild everything again and again, and it took one explosion. And everything was destroyed, just like that.
Wait. Where's Luna..? I could see a wolf, lying on the floor. She was dead.
"NO!" You can hurt me, it's alright. But you use me, you hurt my friends, you hurt anyone I care about, you're done.

"You stay here!" I said icily and dragged him to my house.
"Why, why did you blow up WonderTopia? Just why?"
"Look, this was for justice."
"You knew, Samuel! You knew full well Luna was in the festival area!"
"She could be-" I pulled his shirt collar.
"You knew Luna was in the festival area!"
"Like I said, she could be-"

"No! Stop! Stop! You knew Luna was there! You knew everything everyone ever cared about was here! In this nation!"
"I didn't-"
"I don't- I don't- I don't want to listen anymore! I don't want to hear what you have to say! I don't want to have to hear what you have to say! I- I know. You killed April! You may not have killed me (Ghostpril), but you killed her!"

"Look what you've done, Samuel! Is this really your happy ending? Is this what you call glory?! Do you still believe you're a hero? Do you?!" I took a deep breath. "Don't you see? This is history repeating itself, over and over and over.. it never ends! I built this nation so there would be some peace in the world for once, but the thing I built this nation for doesn't exist anymore! You've made it anything but peace here!"
"I didn't want to do this! But Diana.. she did this. She's absolutely corrupt."

"I know that! We both do! So why? Why did you have to make me suffer?! Why am I to pay for this war you started? I didn't hurt anyone! And yet, I'm the one who has to pay! I sowed the seeds of peace and I'm paying for the war! I know I'm a failure, a weirdo, a disappointment! I know! I know I'm the bad guy in your story, and it hurts! It hurts to know that everyone thinks you're the bad guy! And I'm trying to hide it! I'm trying to fight it! I'm trying to make sure nobody else feels this way because of you!"
"Look, I just- I'm sorry. I really am. Maybe one day, you'll understand." and he left. I was standing in the rain, freezing and completely dead inside.

"Do you think it's still possible to fix this..?" I asked Arnold. I needed someone to talk to. Someone who wouldn't leave me. Someone who I could quite literally trust with my life.
"I mean, it's not impossible.. nothing ever is. Besides, I have some of the stuff that wasn't destroyed in the explosion. So, we could definitely rebuild everything."

"But wait. Once we rebuild everything, won't Samuel just destroy it again and again? And he won't even stop, since he's Isaac's assistant and technically has the right to."
"You're right there, April. Maybe we can somehow convince him to stop this? To stop everything? It might take a while, but I know we can do this."
And then, we went to sleep, knowing that it wasn't impossible to convince Samuel to join our side.

A/N: I got some inspiration from the ghostbur confronting philza scene for this chapter!
