If i could write the world a letter (Revenged henry)

(Art by Skullval-2000 on deviantart)

Of all the ways Henry thought he would go out... this certainly wasn't it.

He had been betrayed, died, been brought back to life, got his revenge, been betrayed again, and now was about to die a second time.

All that was left was to wait here until his cybernetics energy ran out, and he died of physical exertion, like he was meant to when he fell into the black sea...

He sniffles, slowly wiping his eyes with his organic hand.

Betrayal hurt.

Now he knew how the government workers felt.

How Charles felt...

Henry sighs.

If he could have one wish, it would be to apologize to the man that... despite everything.... he still loved.

Wait... maybe he could...

Weakly, he reaches into his pockets, pulling out some scrap paper and the pen that he's always carried around with him, and begins to write.

"Dear Charles,

I hope this letter finds you in a good place.

If you're somehow reading this, let me just start off by saying one thing...

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry I betrayed you guys, I'm really sorry I was the toppat leader for a while... and I'm especially sorry that I hated you so much for breaking up with me because you found out that I'm a thief.

I know this will probably mean nothing, since you probably hate me more than anything, and I don't blame you for it. Hell, I don't even blame you for dumping me anymore, lord knows I deserved it.

But it's true.

I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you charles... and...

I still love you.

I know you probably won't believe that... but I do.

You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me, Charles, and even now it makes me sad to think of the life we could have shared together if I didn't have such sticky fingers.

I really wish I had helped you out during the airship mission... but I was so blinded by my remaining anger and heartbreak towards you, and the allure of power and riches... that I foolishly decided to side with the bad guys.

It was the biggest mistake of my life, and I know you'll probably never forgive me for it...

But I do still love you, even in my final moments... and I hope that wherever you are, you're living a happy and complete life. You deserve it.

Anyways, you're probably wondering why I'm sitting dead against a big rock.

Well, it all started when I got captured by the wall.

Long story short, I tried to escape the wall by calling the toppats for help, but when they came, their traitorous, lying, wretched snake of a leader decided to throw me off the ship into the ocean.

I should have died then, but thanks to Dr Valeria Vinschpinsilstein, I had a second chance at life due to her fixing me with these cybernetic upgrades.

Hey, if you ever come across her, tell her that i'm really sorry all her hard work on me had to go to waste...

Anyways, after i was fixed up, I flew back to the airship to give copperhead(yes that was my nickname for him cause he's a snake) back the suffering and pain he caused me.

I took out the right hand man and then stapled copperhead to the wall, so he'd go down with his own airship, which was headed to the rocket.

I was preparing to fly away and I thought that everything was over.

But I didn't make it.

He managed to hurt me one last time.

He somehow shot me through the spine, breaking it, so I was stuck as the airship crashed.

When I woke up, I managed to watch copperhead die with my own eyes. And oh it felt SO satisfying.

But I knew I only had a little time left, so I crawled out from under the rubble and sat against this rock.

So here I am, writing you this letter, which you probably will never even find or get, much less read.

But, I'm glad I was able to express my final thoughts, even if it was just to myself.

So, I guess there's only one thing left to say.

Goodbye charles. I should have realized that... you were my whole world.

I'll see you on the other side, fly boy : )

All my love,

Henry J. Stickmin."

Henry looked over his letter, smiling weakly.

He then folds it into thirds, and writes "If this letter is found, please give it to military helicopter pilot Charles Calvin" on the back of it.

He then places it on the ground beside him, looking up to the sky as he feels his energy drain away.

As his vision faded... he could almost swear that... he heard Charles's voice.

...

"H- HENRY!?"
