Chapter 18: My Answer
Later that evening...
Serena: "I shouldn't try to be like them."
Serena is getting ready for bed.
Serena: "I just need to live up to my own expectations."
Serena hops into bed.
Serena: "I'm not letting their feats make me feel pointless."
Serena begins to drift off.
Serena: "(drowsy) It's my own answer."
Serena falls asleep.
Meanwhile...
Destinies: "So where's this error?"
Destinies is traversing through the empty Hope server as a Reaper.
Destinies: "(pissed) Sales have been suffering thanks to this thing!"
???: "Like the situation you had nine people suffer through?"
Destinies turns around to find Austin standing behind him.
Destinies: "I didn't think you were still alive."
Binary begins to swirl around the two.
Austin: "After your murder attempt failed, you got four early beta testers and only got closer to your goal."
Binary begins to suffocate Destinies.
Destinies: "(suffocating) So?"
Austin walks closer to Destinies as the binary squeezes his throat more and more.
Austin: "But the lingering failure prevented more willing beta testers, so you kidnapped four people and was successful until the avatars couldn't log out."
Destinies realizes that the respawn systems are down.
Destinies: "(suffocating) Am I..."
Austin stops.
Austin: "Yes. The time has finally come to kill the man who wanted to kill his own son."
The binary squeezes neck so hard that his head pops off and logs off.
Austin: "People like you should fade into the scorching depths of hell."
Austin walks away.
Austin: "Now for the last hurdle before I can start my other plan."
The net morning...
Zack: "(yawning) Morning."
Zack and Serena are heading over to the kitchen to eat breakfast.
Serena: "Hey!"
Zack: "(awkwardly) This is awkward..."
The TV is on the news channel...
