Black Sun

This chapter takes place November 14, 2014. As the chapter begins, it shows General  McGrath speaking about both the Entities, and the Infraworld. As he continues, he says that they have found a way to connect these entities to soldiers at will. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie, clearly indifferent about their approach, leaves the room. Outside, Ryan is sitting alone, and Maddie muses about the entire situation with him. They contemplate their choices, their life, and eventually, Ryan requests that they build a new life together. Maddie says she needs more time to think and tells him that Belle is his daughter. Regardless of her choice, he reminds her that he'll be there for her and Belle. The two's discussion is interrupted by Cole, as he calls Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie to follow him upstairs.

As they make their way, Cole confronts them about how hard making decisions is, with Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie agreeing. He comforts them by asking them to just follow their hearts, and if they do, they'll make the right decision. When they arrive, Cole reminds Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie to be careful when speaking with Nathan. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie nod, knock on the door in front of them, and promptly enter the room. Jodie, Y/N, Maddie and Nathan reunite, with Nathan clearly happy that they're safe. The four share a hug, with Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie afterward saying that it's now the CIA's turn to keep their end of the bargain. Nathan offers Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie an envelope, containing 4 passports and 500,000 dollars in the form of a check.

As Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie turn to leave with Belle, Nathan stops them with a sad look. He reminisces aloud about the events after his wife and daughter died, and admits that he began to feel suicidal, even going into a depressive state knowing he'd never be able to hold them again. Nathan then states that after Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie came, he realized "it was with me all along." With a control, Nathan reveals a secret room, and he admits he had been studying the Infraworld for the military, in hopes of seeing his family again. He muses that after several years, he has finally protected a portal to the other world. Distorted, translucent figures appear, as he mutters his Laura and Helen's names aloud. He admits that he comes to see them daily, and that one day they'll reunite, as he's working on modifying it so that one could communicate with the Infraworld.

Clearly distressed, Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie ask what they have to do with this. Nathan requests their help to speak with his deceased family. If Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie accept, they take his hands, and with the help of Aiden, B/N, and Loki, is possessed by Helen. Nathan is overjoyed, but as she speaks, she begs that he let them go, even going to admit he's causing them pain. She pleas that he let them die and rest in peace. Nathan, unable to cope, believes that Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie are faking the entire thing. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie say that he's keeping them there, and they shouldn't be kept between two worlds at a time. Nathan, still in denial, says it's not true, that he knows they want to be with him again. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie persist, saying that if he really cares, he shouldn't try to keep them from passing on. Regardless, Nathan continues to argue against Jodie's, Y/N's, and Maddie's consoling. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie offer a simple goodbye, saying that they hope he finds peace.

Jodie, Y/N,  and Maddie leave, and as they attempt to enter the elevator, they are cornered by DPA officers from each direction, and are ultimately knocked out. When they awake, they are face-to-face McGrath. He greets them, saying that they put them in a difficult situation. They can't let them go, yet they can't kill them either. He concludes there is only one appropriate solution, they'll inject them with a neuro-acid that will put them in a permanent coma, the same thing they did with their mothers. McGrath lets out an unenthusiastic "Goodbye, Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie", saying that they'll always be grateful for their help. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie pass out again, and when they wake up, they're on a rolling bed, ultimately seeing Nathan. He admits that they made him open his eyes, and Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie pled for help. Yet, Nathan persists in talking about accessing the Infraworld. He says that he'll deactivate the Containment field, and the Infraworld will cross into their dimension, having life and death united in a single world. But Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie argue that it's not just souls on the other side, it's death itself. Nathan asks that they just trust him, that everything will turn out fine.

Aiden, B/N, and Loki attempt to break Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie free, but they aren't strong enough. Instead, they attempt to go get help the help of Ryan and Cole and Belle who is being held by Ryan. Disturbing the 3, they realize Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie are in trouble. Aiden, B/N, and Loki lead them out of the office and down the elevator towards Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie. Along the way, they come across a guard. And Cole, not having the right credentials, cannot get past. With the help of Aiden, B/N, and Loki, the database is modified, and Cole is given level 4 access. Their trek begins once again, running into no more complications as they arrive at the room Jodie's, Y/N's, and Maddie's being held in. After they're set free, a disoriented Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie tells them both what Nathan told them, that he's going to disable the containment field. As they speak, the field is disabled, and the three run as quickly as they can to a safe zone with Ryan still holding Belle. Entities are flying across the building as an evacuation process begins.

People seem to be hopeless as the group is working their way towards reactivating the field. McGrath, being as hypocritical as ever, requests Jodie's, Y/N's, and Maddie's help, as they all realize Nathan has gone mad. They reply harshly, and pushes past him to finish what they need to do. McGrath asks that Ryan help him escape, stating that it's an order. Ryan, for the first time, denies an order, punching McGrath to the ground, asking him to consider that his resignation. McGrath is feeling hopeless, and states that they're all going to die.

Jodie, Y/N, Maddie and the gang then try to find any way they can to re-enable the field. As a last resort, Cole retrieves a portable containment field, stating that it should last him long enough to self destruct the condenser and close the rift. He says that it's iffy at working, but it's their last hope. Ryan is hesitant, and instead insists that they escape while they can. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie take a containment belt, and reluctantly, so does Ryan, stating that he always figured he'd die a hero. As they enter the elevator, Cole explains the risks, and Ryan asks how much time they have. Cole explains that the self-destruct should happen instantly, and that they won't be coming back.

The group sprint quickly towards the entrance to the Black Sun, avoiding entities in the process. They witness the true power of the souls, as a military agent is brutally murdered by one. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie are nearly spotted, but as they curl up and makes themselves small, they are passed without being seen. Regardless of whether Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie attract the attention of the entities or not, Cole will be attacked. If Jodie, Y/N, Maddie and Ryan return to help him, letting Aiden, B/N, and Loki heal Cole, Cole will survive but regardless is unable to come with them to the Black Sun due to his injuries. Jodie, Y/N, Maddie and Ryan will continue towards the Black Sun alone.

They fight through the ether blasting from the Black Sun, all the while hearing the laments of lost souls trapped in the Infraworld. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie become separated from Ryan and Belle, and happen upon a distraught Nathan, who is yelling about not being able to find his wife and daughter. Depending on Jodie's, Y/N's, and Maddie's choices Nathan will kill himself. Either way, Nathan will be reunited with his family and tells Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie to destroy the condenser.

Ryan, Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie fight the attacking entities flowing out of the sun. Surrounded, Maddie's containment belt malfunctions. Ryan, sacrificing his own safety, gives his belt to Maddie, who reluctantly puts it on and takes Belle.

Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie proceed towards the Black Sun. They get attacked by dangerous entities, and, at the same time, remembers troubling moments from their past: Meeting Norah, M/N, and Regina in a permanent coma, when the got Salim's father killed, (possibly when Earl tried to sexually assault Jodie and Y/N), when the teens bullied them at the party, and when Jodie's "dad" wanted to hit her and Y/N and Maddie. When they make it to the lever, they see Norah, M/N, and Regina crying for Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie, then cries for their little boys. A doctor asks what's going on, and another doctor tells him that the twins, which are Aiden, B/N, and Loki, says that they strangled on the umbilical cords, leading to their deaths.

Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie are then in a field, empty, then they see Aiden, B/N, and Loki. They say how their souls were bound together, and that they loved and hated them for all the years, but was still a part of them. The sky becomes dark, wind becomes strong, and Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie reach out for Aiden, B/N, and Loki. Unfortunately, Aiden, B/N, and Loki disintegrate, likely this meaning that they aren't connected to them anymore. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie start to cry, then is in the middle of 2 portals. They can decide to die, be with Aiden, B/N, and Loki, and those they loved forever, including Norah, M/N, Regina and Shimasani. They can also decide to stay alive, leaving Aiden, B/N, Loki and the rest alone. If Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie decide to stay alive, they wake back up, run toward Ryan and Belle.

After the Black Sun exploded, both Jodie, Y/N, Maddie, Belle and Ryan wake up. Ryan is happy and says with joy that they made it. Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie call for Aiden, B/N, and Loki, but gets no response. They call again, but no results. They start to collapse on the ground, crying. Ryan hugs Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie, in an attempt to make them stop crying.
