Universe (Part 10) (FINALE): Final

Chapter 20

Gears clicks on the computer, trying to find them, contacting the other universes as they're all in the basement of site-001.

"Any find?" Alejandra says.

"No.. not one. What about you Alejandra?" Gears asks.

"None.. it's one big mystery, I'm not able to find another way we could've possible contacted with them!" Alejandra says, now frustrated.

The others now looking at the big computer screen, seeing the world around them collapsing, "It's like more and more bad things are happening the more we try to stop them. Look at that- a entire military base tooken out by some gunrunning force. None found, no traces, just bodies of the US military." Vile says.

"Y'know how this feels? This feels hopeless." Bella says.

"Hopeless? Can't believe you finally said that." Abram responds.

"None... There's nobody picking up, it's like we didn't even call." Gears says, turning back around.

"None? There were many! So many of them! How could they all just- just vanish! Or did they give up on us, leave us here to die this way!" The Founder says, now also frustrated with receiving no response.

Gears sighs, leaning back down, "What than.. come on.. let's think! Think! Think!" Gears says.

"I think I've made a strategy. I propose we go there, we meet him. Ambush him, take his ass down. We have to make a bait for him- think about where he'd go.." Pang says.

Finally the TV lights up, the TV next to Gears shining a bright red, "Finally!" Gears says.

"There we go!" They cheer as they look at the TV screen.

The screen was turned to static as a distorted deep voice talks, "NOW. GIVE UP NOW. IF YOU DIE NOW THAN THE FATE THAT AWAITS WILL NOT EFFECT YOU. YOU ARE PEST, ALL OF YOU ARE. THE UNIVERSE IS IN SHAMBLES, WHAT KIND OF GOD WOULD WANT SUCH A UNIVERSE SO UGLY AND DESTRUCTIVE? NO GOD, THAT'S WHAT. SOME UNIVERSES ARE BETTER OFF GONE, DESTROYED. YOUR'S IS NO DIFFERENT, IS IT? OR IS IT WORTH SAVING?" The TV screen goes back to black, completely cutting off.

"What kind of a message is that!" Adam says.

"I'll tell you what kind! One from some hopeless bastard who may have randomly picked up our message and decided to try and downpour us! That's what kind!" Devy says angrily.

"NOTHING!" Gears yells, surprising everyone as they see his calm and collected mood now changed, "WE SPENT THE WHOLE NIGHT- ALL DAY! THE ENTIRE DAY TRYING TO CALL A UNIVERSE- AND WE GOT THIS? SOME CRYPTIC MESSAGE ABOUT US GIVING UP? WE'VE DONE NOTHING BUT PROTECT THESE PEOPLE AND THE UNIVERSE TRIES FUCKING US OVER! THE PEOPLE TOO- THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT WHAT THEY WANT! WHAT HAPPEN TO THE TIME'S- WHAT HAPPEN.." Gears says, collapsing onto a table. They looked at Gears, now almost in defeat as they realized how truly hopeless the situation seemed, "Whatever happen to 3812 anyways.. didn't he help?"

"I- I don't know.." Abram responds.

"Tommorow." Everyone looks at Pang, "Tommorow we do things how I said they should be done. I don't care if it cost us the universe, we're finding and killing that son of a bitch Exterminator. I bet we'll find him based on some tracks he'll make himself. He's most likely in some war zone- fighting. And by the time it's morning tommorow those nuclear missiles are out."

They looked at Pang in desperation, as they slowly go back to bed after spending the whole day trying to contact another universe to no avail. All of them went in defeat and desperation, hoping tommorow would he the day they could defeat the Exterminator.

The very next morning they met back up, all coming to the plan to find Exterminator, "Some big city maybe.."

"Is he hiding? Or is he hostile?" Grey asks.
