Chapter 13 (Final one): The New Face of Despair


Michael Hyde opened his eyes. He could feel blood running down his forehead, his torn up left cheek was stinging and he felt something impaled in his flesh. It didn't take long to understand what it was as he could see that the red glass was shattered all around him and on him. He tried to move but a horrible pain nailed him on site. He looked down to see that rubbles from the buildings the robot went through were crushing both of his legs. He immediately remembered that something similar happened to Ethos, his best friend during the Tragedy, right before the hunter had to cut his friend's arm to free him. So Michael reached for his machete or knife but both weren't where they should be. Maybe behind him or under the debris.

He looked at the only working screen left to see the damage of the robot. There was only 1% still working: the head, just enough power to move it. There was no fuel left and he couldn't even activate the self-destruction command, not that he would do it if he could. So he moved the head a bit to look around the remains of the Monokuma Anti-G. And then he saw him. Walking slowly towards the hunter, anger and a thirst of destruction in his eyes. Godzilla was coming for the coup of grace.

Mike's face was twitching, not from fear but from excitement. He grinned, then it turned into a smirk and then into a giant distorted smile, with the torn up cheek and all, and then he exploded in laughter. He pressed the button of the speakers that were still working for his final speech.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" he started, grabbing his hair with one hand, "Look at you! The alpha! All high and mighty!! Hahahaha!!"

Godzilla kept walking, eyes on target, not stopping.

"You are to me what the Ultimate Hope was to Junko Enoshima! My killer and my target!! Or I dunno for her, I never quite understood that fucking bitch."

The King was marching to his next execution, and he would be the executioner.

"I've been waiting for so long. So, so long for this! Kill or be killed by the alpha!"

The titan was now next to the fallen robot.

Michael took a long look at his future killer. Godzilla was full of stab and scratch wounds, he was panting heavily. If the robot were more resistant, there would have been a chance for the Ultimate Hunter to kill Godzilla. He was satisfied.

"Hehe... What a shame... So close though. Old buddy old pal... Ethos, Yuuko... I'm sorry I'm leaving before you guys... I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise of the three of us living together in the jungle until the day we die... I wish everything gets better for the two of you and between you two... Goodbye my friends."

Godzilla lifted his foot.

"ALRIGHT BIG GUY!! SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!! SHOW ME THAT DESPAIR OF DEATH!! WOOHOOOOOO-"

His shout got cut when the titan stomped his scaly foot on the robot's head, destroying everything under his weight, silencing the Ultimate Hunter forever. Godzilla kept glaring at the remains of the robot before taking a deep breath and let out his mighty, victorious roar.

Ethos Oroya stood silent, his hands gripping firmly the top corners of the screen in front of him. He slowly released it, he didn't notice that the corner he was holding with his robot arm was broken. He sat down on the chair, he actually more or less collapsed on it. He stared at the ceiling for a few moments before finally hanging his head. His right hand grasped his knee and held the fabric tightly while his left robot hand started to run through his hair, messing it more than it already was.
