chapter XXIX - new beginnings

In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Shockwaves soar as you gaze upon the lonely abyss in front of you. Every part of your body feels heavy and lifeless, rendering you unable to make a sound. Your breathing quickens as fear begins to boil.

I have to move...

Move!

You were afraid to. You couldn't bear the thought of seeing...his body...

Then, within the mist, you see him get up on the walkways where the soldiers rest. As he was plunging towards his untimely death, Leon managed to leap onto another walkway.

I might perish of a heart attack if he almost dies again.

From afar, you see Jason come strutting toward you menacingly, so you think it would be wise to take the anti-material rifle you found and aim for him. Looking through the scope, you fire at Jason, and the force of the weapon knocks you back so hard that your feet leave the ground.

You look over again and see that one of Jason's arms is blown off, and a smile appears on your face. With Jason knocked back a couple of feet, Claire has the advantage of disabling the storage unit he stands on from above. Instinctively, Jason jumps off and, with his one arm, begins to swing himself across the facility. Resuming his original plan of making it back to the surface.

Acid has risen so that everything you once stood on has been submerged.

Soon after, you see Leon running after Jason.

You couldn't leave Leon alone to stop this tyrant, so you dropped the weapon and ran up the flight of stairs that reached the top of the facility—following the sounds of clashing steel and gunshots. Once again, Leon never ceases to amaze you with his incredible skill and agility.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Leon announces and fires while Jason claws at the ceiling. Without a dent in his tough shell exterior, Jason aggressively charges toward Leon. Placing him in a chokehold within his deformed hand.

I swear, why does everyone put him in a chokehold?!

Finally reaching them, you grab the weapon you attached to your back earlier from the locker. "Nuh-uh, you don't," you asserted. Not even fully acknowledging what this weapon was, once you pull the trigger, electric wires pierce into Jason's body from behind, and volts of electricity travel throughout, paralyzing him instantly.

Finally, with the electricity flowing through him, Jason throws Leon while both of their bodies thud against the metal floor. You drop the weapon and dash to Leon's aid as he coughs and groans in pain. The amount of back pain this man is suffering from is unequivocal.

"Why are you trying to stop me!? Duty? Revenge?" Jason blurted in between wheezes, his deformed and mutated body now burnt to a crisp. "If they can just see me...then the world will know...terror."

"You think terror...is the solution!?" you growl and beam your fuming expression directly at Jason. You witness Jason's raspy breaths grow louder while approaching his agonizing body. "Then you're no different than the rest of them."

You examine his face, blinded by rage, blinded by revenge. You have seen what terror can do to a person. Watching as your very nightmares become a reality, you knew fear very well. Wishing that onto anyone else would be going against everything you've been fighting for.

Now, realizing Jason's intent, he wants to expose what they have done to him. You didn't blame him. However, terrorizing millions of people and embedding fear into their hearts is not the answer.

As you gaze upon him with empathy and remorse, you end his forever torment and suffering. "It ends here, Jason...with me." Now that Jason's body is stunned, you reach for the lever that drops the platform he stands on. With your remaining strength, you pull the lever as hard as you can and watch Jason's body plummet into the vat of acid.
