The Fate of Elizabeth (Bioshock Infinite)

Chapter 13: Revolution

A different wind begins to blow, and something is preparing. Mathias and Elizabeth feel it, as they run side by side, hand in hand, through the corridors of the manor, to escape as quickly as possible before the arrival of other reinforcements. For a reason they do not know, the mansion is shaken by violent explosions, gravas fall from the walls and the ceiling. A chandelier comes off and crashes to the ground. Soldiers and creatures in the manor run away on all sides, panicking, and ignoring the couple, a chance for them. As they prepare to go downstairs, Elizabeth stops, casting a last look at the family portrait, and sighs, as if denying the fact that she was part of this family. How can she continue to see herself as the daughter of a man who has tried to make her a monster? And her mother, who died only a few weeks after her birth ..... What would she have said? Elizabeth does not know, and before joining Mathias down the stairs, makes the portrait disappear through a vortex, forever, then she goes to join her love.

When they arrive at the bottom of the great staircases, they are surprised to see Cornelius Slate, weapon in his hand, and accompanied by his troops of the Vox Populi, and at their feet, the corpses of guards whom they have slain. The old soldier smiled at them, satisfied, his only valid eye determined.

(Mathias): "Slate, I'm glad to see you ..... Listen, we did not succeed, I ......"

(Cornelius): "Forget it, it's from the past. After what happened to Chen Lin, we decided to act. Fink is dead, and we took possession of his factories. What matters now is what already begun."

(Elizabeth): "What begun?"

(Cornelius): "The revolution."

(Elizabeth):"Have you found my father?"

(Cornelius):"Unfortunatly, he's not here."

The couple looks at each other simultaneously, wondering if the Vox Populi will emerge victorious from this terrible conflict with the few means they have and where Zachary is. The rebels of the Vox Populi continue to invest the mansion, and begin to destroy everything in their path. Cornelius then addresses Elizabeth.

(Cornelius): "Madam, I know it's your home, but ..."

(Elizabeth): "No matter.... Destroy everything. I never want to see that place again of my life."

(Cornelius): "It will be done, believe me."

Rebels tear the curtains, and others set fire to reduce this immense house to ashes. A Boy of Silence arrives at a group of rebels without fear, and themselves, seeing this strange creature, decides to shoot it without thinking. The bullets rain in gusts on the boy of silence, which despite the shots, do not fall, beginning to surround itself with a kind of halo of energy, to unleash him around him.

"GROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAN!" Roared the creature in an explosion of energy, then disappeared without leaving any traces, leaving the rebels very perplexed. Taking advantage of the panic, the Vox Populi invades the rooms of the manor, taking the soldiers of the prophet by surprise and shooting them without the least pity. Elizabeth follows Mathias and Cornelius outside, without turning around, clenched fists and face closed. In front of the manor, heavily armored rebels put explosives on the statue of Zachary Comstock, detonating it in thousands of pieces, screaming at freedom and revolution. All around the manor, shuttles of the Vox Populi, painted red, and less elaborate than those of the prophet, fly slowly in the winds, soldiers armed with snipers are on the shuttles, watch the surroundings. One of the shuttles awaits at the level of the platform. Cornelius gets on board, and invites the couple to come aboard, which they do without hesitation. Around them, the violent winds are reinforced more and the sky continues to roar by spitting flashes. The shuttle takes off in the direction of Columbia, escorted by several other flying units, and Elizabeth leaves the house of her father, letting it in the hands of the rebels, without regret.
