Chapter 9

Sabre fell into a cell again. He sat up and gasped. He groaned. "Not again." He says. He stood up and walked over to the bars of the cell. He grabbed them and shook them. He tried to pull it open but it was too strong. He groaned. But then he remembered something. He looked at his hoodie pocket and pulled the key out that he found earlier. He noticed a key hole and put the key into it. He turned the key and the lock clicked. Sabre gasped. He pushed the door and it opened. Sabre looked at the key and smiled. He started to look around the area. But as he was, he noticed several empty cells. He looked around confused. But then he heard something. He looked up expecting to see Hex again but he wasn't there. Sabre looked around confused. He heard the noise again. He quickly ran to find it.

As the noise got louder, Sabre skid to a stop. "Hello?" He says. "Sabre?" Someone says. Sabre gasps. He quickly ran over to another cell and gasped. Blue was in it. "Blue!" Sabre exclaims. He looked at the key and quickly put it into the key hole. The lock clicked and Sabre pushed the door open. "Sabre!" Blue exclaims. She ran over and hugged Sabre. Sabre hugged back. "Thank God Steve you're okay!" He exclaims. Blue smiles. "What happened to you?" She asks. Sabre looks down. "We got seperated by this guy Hex." He says. "Hex?" Blue says. Sabre looks down. "I don't know how to explain it." He says. Blue sighs. But then they heard something. They both looked outside the cell and gasped. There were a few Cursed Steves down the corridor. Sabre gasps. "What are they doing there?" He asks. Blue shrugs. The Cursed Steves spotted them. They all ran towards them. Sabre gasps. He quickly ran over and attacked them. He kicked one down and smashed its head in. Another one jumped on him. Sabre screamed. Blue gasps. She ran over and shoved the Cursed Steve off of him. Blue grabbed it and slammed its head against the wall multiple times. Sabre got back up and quickly twisted the third ones neck. The last one then pushed Blue down. Sabre looked over. It was about to attack Blue. Sabre growled and ran over. He grabbed the Cursed Steve by the throat and lifted it up. It screeches loudly. Its clawed hands were reaching to grab Sabre's arms. He slams it into the ground. The Cursed Steve screeches. Sabre quickly smashed its head in with his foot. Sabre looked at Blue. Blue groaned and tried to get up.

Sabre walks over and helps Blue stand up. Blue sighs of relief. "We did it!" She says. She hugs Sabre. Sabre chuckles. He hugs back. Blue looks at him. "At least you're still okay. Now let's hope we can find a way out of here soon before-" A gun shot was heard. Sabre gasps. Blue froze. She looks down at her chest. She had been shot. Sabre stared in shock. Blue looks at him. "Blue." Sabre says. Blue fell to the ground. Sabre gasps. Blue stared at the ceiling. "I- I'm sorry." She says. Then she died. Sabre stared at her in shock for a moment. He looked up slowly. Hex was back. He was holding a gun in his hand. He lowered it and laughed. "How does it feel to be alone again, Sabre?" He asks. Sabre looked at Blue again. He didn't do anything for a moment. His hands were shaking. He started panting. "No." He says. He screams out in agony. Hex laughs. Sabre was crying much harder than he ever has before. He kept screaming loudly. Blue lied still. The bullet had hit the core of her body shutting her down completely. Sabre couldn't take this anymore. He was alone and trapped in that place. "Shut up." Hex says. Sabre looks at him. He screams at him and rushes towards him. Hex simply grabs his shoulders. His grip was painful as if they were being crushed by a giant invisible hand. Sabre was yelling so loud. Sabre screamed at him. “NO!” He yelled. Hex laughed at him. “No… No… NO!” Sabre kept yelling. Hex continued laughing. "You are a fool, Sabre. You were the Sabre who got the short end of the stick. The one who was always meant to be evil. Your redemption meant nothing. Not for you, not for anyone. You were just a pawn." Hex says. He squeezed Sabre's shoulder tighter. Sabre gasped with pain. The pressure was making it hurt more. Hex continued on. "You don't deserve happiness. You are no better than any other bad person. You deserve to suffer." Hex said. Sabre kept trying to break out of Hex's grasp. "Let go!" Sabre shouted. Hex tightened his grip. "Like I said, you deserved nothing. It's your fault Blue is dead." He says. Sabre screamed again. He cried harder. "What good are you to anybody? Nobody cares. Nobody likes you. Nobody trusts you." Hex says. Sabre tried harder to escape his grip. His eyes were watering. "You'll never get anywhere. Just like I thought." Hex said. He released Sabre and pushed him into the cell. Hex also kicked Blue's body into the cell as well. Sabre fell to the floor. He curled up and cried more. Hex closed the cell door and locked it. Sabre looked up at Blue's body. He crawled over to her. He hugged her tightly and kept crying. Hex watched him from outside the cell. "Such a shame. You'll be gone by this afternoon, Sabre." He says. He walks off. Sabre kept crying. He couldn't stop. He was all alone again. Sabre felt so empty inside. So alone. The feeling was overwhelming. "Blue... I'm sorry..." He mumbles. But then, someone appears behind Sabre. Sabre didn't notice. The person placed his hand on Sabre's shoulder gently. Sabre jumped a bit. He looked up. It was Lucian. His Steve form was translucent now and there was a halo above his head. "Don't worry Sabre. You'll be okay." He says. Sabre let out a choked sob. Lucian sighed. "It's your time, Sabre." He says. Sabre looks up at him. "What?" He asks. Lucian's eyes glowed orange and Sabre immediately fell into darkness. "NOO!" He screams.
