The crew steps through the Abyssal gateway, entering a twisted realm where the rules of space and time no longer apply. Shadows of their own memories flicker through the air, and the very ground beneath them shifts and writes.
At the center of this strange realm stands Teri—or at least, a version of him. His body is altered by the Abyss, his eyes glowing with a mixture of darkness and light.
Kei (shocked):
"Teri...?"
Teri looks at her, his voice a strange echo of the man she once knew.
Teri (quietly):
"I told you not to come."
Kei approaches slowly, her heart torn between hope and fear.
Kei (pleading):
"We thought you were dead. We thought we lost you."
Teri shakes his head, his voice filled with sadness.
Teri (softly):
"I'm not the same anymore, Kei. The Abyss... it changed me. But I'm still fighting. You have to end this."
Before Kei can respond, the Abyss begins to react violently to Teri's presence, sending waves of dark energy crashing toward them.
Kei (yelling):
"Get behind me!"
The crew engages in their toughest battle yet, fighting off endless waves of Abyssal creatures as the Abyssal realm itself tries to consume them.
Final Chapter: Light in the Abyss
Scene:
As the battle reaches its climax, Teri reveals that he's discovered a way to destroy the Abyssal Entity once and for all—but it comes at a cost.
Teri (desperate):
"The Abyss can't exist without an anchor. It latched onto me, but if I go, it goes with me."
Kei's heart drops. She can't lose him again, not like this.
Kei (crying):
"There has to be another way!"
But Teri shakes his head.
Teri (resolute):
"This is the only way. I'm sorry, Kei."
With a final surge of energy, Teri channels the Abyss into himself, sealing it within him as the realm begins to collapse. The crew barely escapes as the gateway implodes, leaving them floating in the void of space.
Back aboard the Celestial Vanguard, the crew is silent, processing the loss. Kei stares at the empty spot where Teri once stood, her heart heavy with grief.
Epilogue: A Faint Pulse
Scene:
Weeks pass as the crew continues their missions, but Kei is distant, still haunted by the loss of Teri. One night, alone in the ship's command center, a familiar sound breaks the silence—a faint, pulsing message.
Message (fragmented):
"I... still... here."
Kei's eyes widen in disbelief. Could it be Teri? Is he truly gone, or is there still hope?
The screen flickers, the message fading in and out. But one thing is clear—it's not over.
