“So now I am insane for simply wanting to live,” X says, sitting down on one of the chairs. “I suppose no argument will change your mind. If you plan to go, then do so quickly.”

“At least we’ve come to some sort of agreement,” Juanli replies, “But before we leave…does anyone know how we might take Yin with us?”

“It seems that possibility was coded into the game,” Yin adds from the monitor. “I have the ability to print out a special card. Someone simply has to push that through the gate.”

A small card emerges out of a slot below Yin’s screen.

“Alright. Now before we go…put the gun down, Mr. Sun,” Juanli says, heading for the monitor. “I would feel much safer that way.”

“Oh, of course,” Taikong says, placing the gun on the coffee table.

He stands by the table, keeping a watchful eye on Amethyst as Suyin and Sunny head for the door. Amethyst stands in the corner with her hands in front of her as if in surrender. Mei rocks back and forth against the wall. Juanli grabs the card from beneath the monitor…

X leaps from her chair and reaches for the gun!

Taikong sees the flash of movement and rushes to intercept her. The two collide, grabbing hold of it at the same time. Despite her injury, X attacks Taikong with the ferocity of a wild animal. The two clasp the gun between him as they stumble toward the chair.

“Shit shit shit! Just grab the card and get out!” Taikong screams.

The two collapse with a crash.

BANG!

“Oh, fuck! No!”

“You will not take another step!”

Juanli, Suyin, and Sunny stop by the door. They turn toward the sound of the scuffle. Taikong slowly gets to his feet, his hands empty.

X limps toward the group, sporting another bullet hole in her leg. Blood streaks down her scorched and scarred face, flowing around deep brown eyes that shine like pristine jewels in the midst of the surrounding carnage. However, she still holds the gun firmly in her hands, marching steadily closer to the door…

Mei looks at X, nearly paralyzed throughout the whole debacle, "You'd go this far...?"

“I was not the first to escalate the game. I was not the first person to make the threat of force be an underlying incentive of the discuss. In addition, in order for my will to make an impact on the outcome, I must act harshly, even if I worsen other outcomes for myself,” X says, her eyes unblinkingly fixated on the group by the exit.

“I desire to leave, and I will do so. It is understandable that nobody is content with this outcome, but consent never really existed in this room, unless you are a human that believes will can be created by force.”

"Say what you will, but I only ever wanted people to discuss this properly. I only planned to shoot anyone who tried to ignore the group's decision and run through the gate," Sun Taikong growled, edging around to ensure he was out of X's sight. "This is all on you now. Don't try to claim you were only responding in kind."

"I was not given options, Rat. You controlled the conversation, and I had no say in the outcome. Now the shoe is on the other foot, and you act like I have slighted you. The only reason I have this gun is to react against those who are seizing an outcome by force that we did not all agree on."

X doesn't seem to care that Taikong has slipped from her vision.

"So you're going to leave Sunny for dead?!" Amethyst yelled but stayed very still and with her back to a wall, far away from the line of fire. "We have Mei here with us, she can treat your wounds! X, even you have to understand why we would prioritize a child..."

"Your lack of options stemmed solely from the roll of a dice, X," Taikong responded, now waiting for an opportunity to move up behind her. Perhaps he simply hoped to keep her talking and occupied in the meantime. "You were up against Sunny, and no-one else here was willing to let you escape in his place. Sunny's opponent, whoever the computer decided they may be, was always screwed. The only way to change that outcome is by force, as you're doing now.

"I wanted to be as fair as possible. I wanted majority rule to decide it. I suppose when a weapon of war is in the equation, it's the only thing anyone focuses on."

X laughs, and no matter how much her words can be understood as rational, her laugh sounds like nothing but pure madness. She scratches under her chin with the barrel of the gun, "So when a healthy eight-year-old in the prime of his life is left in this room he's being left for dead, but when I am left here with several wounds, I should look forward to my treatment." Her words are articulated so precisely that they leave an uncomfortable ringing in the others' ears. "I do not blame anyone for acting this way, but it is against my will."

Sunny just stared at X, her eyes in particular. He gasped, coming to a realisation.
"You... You're that lady at the park!! Mama, she's the lady we met at the park, do you remember??" He looked at Juanli and tugged on her dress a couple times, then he looked back to X and her gun.

"Yeah...! You told me you were my real mother... a-and then I never saw you again... U-um, you're someone else now, though.... Are you 100% sure you don't remember anything from your other life?" He continued to cautiously stare at her.

X's eyes go wide at Dragon, a crooked smile at her lips. Her bandaged finger is still wrapped around the trigger of the gun. "This is another one of the Cat's surprises for us, then."

She laughs, but without the bandages on her face, it's clear that her laugh isn't joyful or spiteful or smug. Her laugh is nothing but a robotic reaction, completely from the frontal lobe. Emotionally, there is nothing. It's simply something she decided to do for some external purpose.

"There are a few things I remember from my past life," X says in desolate voice, "metal bracelets with blinking lights, blown out buildings billowing smoke into the sky, men roaming around with guns. I remember nothing about you, Sunny. And there is nothing in my life that is empty without memories of you."

[Author’s Note: I meant for Juanli to still be by Yin’s monitor but I messed up the last post. Just pretend she spontaneously teleported from the door to there between the last post and this one.]

Suyin leans down and shoves Sunny.

“Go, quick!”

X’s neck snaps toward the voice like it’s been broken. She aims the gun at the door.

“Now!”

BANG!

Taikong throws himself at X, grabbing her arm and pointing the gun straight into the air. He drives his knee into her leg, pulling her arm back toward the wall. From a distance, it looks as if they were engaging in a synchronized dance.

BANG!

A bullet bursts from the gun and hits one of the pods on the wall. It shatters, spilling glass onto the inside.

Juanli pulls her scissors from her bag as she crosses the floor. They flash silver through the air and carve a thin red line in X’s palm. X cries out, dropping the gun on the floor, but pirouettes deftly around and wraps her arms around Juanli’s neck.

“Sunny! Get through the door!” Juanli screams.

The kid glances toward the exit, then back toward the others. He watches as X shoves Taikong away and then slams Juanli’s head against another sleeping pod. She cries out in pain at the blow.

“No!” he shouts, “I’m coming to help you, Mama!”

Ignoring every authority figure in the room, Sunny runs toward X and kicks her in the shin. She collapses sideways, giving Sunny time to dive to the floor.

A look of panic crosses Juanli’s face as she lifts herself to her feet.

“Sunny! No! Put that down!”

Sunny stands tall, facing off against X’s bleeding form. Both of his arms point straight in front of him, holding the gun in his hands…

Suyin remains by the door, clutching her arm in pain. It seems that X’s first shot had struck her, but she would mostly likely survive.

[Suyin and Sunny may now leave.]

"NO! Stay.... Stay back, miss X...! Leave my mama alone!" Sunny said, as mighty and intimidating as an 8 year old in a dragon costume could be.

"I DON'T CARE IF YOU ACTUALLY ARE MY REAL MOTHER! You're not even that lady anymore, you told me yourself! I just wanted to try reasoning with you, I guess... I didn't want anyone to get hurt! N-now... I'm gonna get out of here... with my mama and my auntie!" He raises his voice, shivering slightly.

"We will get help for you guys...! You deserve to live your life, miss X, but I also want to go back home!"

X watches Sunny closely, her shining eyes reflecting the barrel of the gun back at him, "I never thought I would receive any empathy. After all, it's impossible for a human to connect with me, even my supposed son. It is therefore completely and utterly natural that your wills would form quickly against mine to the point that a child would point a gun at my head."

"Even so, the utter humanity is maddening. If anyone receive help by staying here, I do not see why my will to leave is being taken as a will to kill the child. But it is clear that everyone thinks I am a lost cause. I will therefore continue to act on my will," her words come rapidly and defiantly. It seems impossible that she is even thinking between each thought.

Blood streams down her legs and arms, "If my death is what you want, there is no reason to hesitate in my killing. Like you say, I am nobody you care about. I will be nothing and what I want does not fundamentally matter."

"Damn it, that hurts..." Suyin grimaces, as she uses her uninjured arm to press down on the bullet wound in an attempt to slow the bleeding.

Trying to ignore the pain, she takes a few steps closer towards Sunny. "Good work grabbing that gun, kid." She smirks. "Now, we can get out of here. We'll send help for the rest of you, of course. Try not to kill each other in the meantime."

"N-no Sunny...." Juanita struggled to get the words out through the daze of the concussion, her ornamented hairdo knocked askew "You need to run...Sister...you take care of him, get him out of here!" She struggled with X's grip but was unable to get free.

She looked back at X as well as she could and hissed. "You want empathy? You don't DESERVE it. Empathy is the result of shared humanity! Of kindness and compassion! You've only reacted with nothing but what suits you!" She struggled a little more with X "And that compassion...it means putting others before yourself, it means sacrifice for someone you truly care about. So long as you care about nothing, you'll receive nothing in kind!" She spat.

"N-Now you're forcing a little boy to shoot his mother but you don't care about the sentiments you WITCH! So let's talk f-facts. The city isn't easy to get to from here, even if you leave you are doomed before you get there without medical treatment. Here you've got Miss Mei to take care of you and supplies to l-last." Her fingers clutched at Xs arm trying to find a grip while she wondered where her scissors had went.

"We are GOOD people, if I could take you with us I would! You just need to learn to trust in another that we will get you help!" She cried as a last desperate protest.

As much as Mei felt she should try to do something -- she couldn't. All she could do was continue to look on in horror while others with more will than her solved the situation, or tried to. Hate that as she might, she couldn't force herself to act. She slowly turns to face X and asks, "How... how can you even manage to just keep on trying when it's so fucking hopeless for you?"

Sun Taikong pushed himself to his feet, eying Sunny and X warily. "I'm sorry, X. This had nothing to do with you, and everything to do with Sunny. I don't know if that will ease your mind at all - like you've said, we can't understand each other - but it's the truth. There's no-one in this facility who the group would decide to let leave instead of him."

X holds Juanli tight, her sinewy arms are completely locked around the woman. “I have taken the time to empathize with all of you. That’s how I know that you lack empathy for my position. I have given you all plenty of empathy and consideration. I am not the one demanding anything of anybody. I very simply am reaching for the same rights given to those who would leave, yet I can feel myself being looked down upon.”

“I keep going not because I think I can survive, but because it is my only chance to experience existence at all.”

"Miss X, please let go of my mama! I don't wanna hurt you!" Sunny grips the gun tightly, his eyes slightly watery.

"I-I did say that I didn't care if you were my real mother, but that's because you're not her anymore! Not that I don't care about you- I wanted to understand you better, but now you're hurting mama...! A-and I don't know what to think or say anymore...."

"I... I really wanted to get out of here together so we could do paper crafts like we said a little while ago... but I think you'll be fine here with miss Mei, like my mama said..."

Juanli struggled, her face a mix of panic, fury and pain "Sunny, just go! Suyin!" She cried trying in vain to break free.

Settling back into X's embrace Juanli panted for breath "You don't even know how to empathise, if anyone's looking down upon you it's because your actions show you to be a monster. The only life you've left to experience out there will fade before you reach the city, and if it doesn't then your only experience will be a jail cell or worse once people find out what you are doing right here right now." She tried to turn and look X in the eyes with a wild expression. "Because that's what will happen. Life IS NOT kind, sacrifices need to be made, we are NOT powerful. PLEASE! Show that you have some compassion what little life you've had! Let me go now, don't force my boy to do this please, I'm begging you." she sobbed and tears began to run down her cheeks. "I swear, we'll come back...we'll come back."

X lets go of Juanli and pushes her away, “In the end, I just want to leave. It’s the same right that everyone else here has.” She takes another step to the door, but her pale, bleeding legs buckle dangerously beneath her. “No matter who takes the exit, it has been taken by force.”

“I can imagine the world where we can make paper crafts together but that fantasy is unlike this reality in too many ways to count,” she stumbles forward, clutching at her wounds, her eyes shining with a pure will to drive forward. “I do not want to die peacefully in this room having never truly existed. I don’t want to vanish having never followed my will to exist.”

X drives forward, but it becomes strikingly clear to everyone that, with the blood streaming from her face, stomach, and legs, something is much too wrong with X. Searing pain can be seen like flashes of lightning in her eyes. She breathes exhaustive breaths that expel bits her spirit into the air.

X’s corpse falls against the floor at Sunny’s feet.

Juanli gasps for breath as X releases her. She pauses briefly with a look of surprise and horror as X dies dramatically before rushing over to Sunny's side trying to take the gun and throw it away. She pulls Sunny into an embrace and strokes the back of his head while turning to look at the others.

"W-we're going...we'll try and get help. I remember the way to the city, just...just hold on ok?" she said slowly and shakily standing up. She turned to look at her sister and nodded while she placed an arm over Sunny's shoulder and tried to hold him at her hip so he wouldn't look too much at the dead body of X. "A-Are you ready Suyin?"

The room falls silent as X’s corpse seems to bleed darkness into the room.

Taikong tightly grasps his forehead. He turns and presses his hand against the wall.

“Just get the fuck out of here,” he says, exhaustion dripping from his voice.

No one responds. Mei and Amethyst remain seated by the wall. Suyin finally steps through the gate.

“2nd player admitted,” an automated voice says.

Locking eyes with Juanli, Sunny follows her through.

“1st player admitted.”

Juanli steps to the gate, handing Suyin the card she received from the monitor.

“3rd player admitted. The battle’s victor is Team Rabbit. Their leader may pass through the gate.”

Juanli steps through, causing the Meridian Gate to turn black. She takes one last look at the others.

“I swear…I won’t leave you all here.”

Then the group walks away, leaving the three alone with the stench of X’s corpse.



As the three walk away from the gate, they discover a small corridor leading to a spiral staircase. However, they notice an opening on their right, beyond which is a small server room.

“Go in there,” Yin says from a nearby monitor. “Quickly now.”

Suyin cautiously enters. She spots a single computer near the wall. A green flash drive sticks out of a port in it.

“Apparently, bringing that card through the gate downloaded me to that flash drive,” Yin explains, “It’s not perfect, but it’s a way of getting me out of here. It’s the least you can do now that Amethyst lost her spot, right?”

Suyin nods and pulls out the flash drive, though she fails to eject is first. Juanli pokes her head in and spots something on a table near the door.

“Check that table, sister,” she says.

Suyin picks it up. It’s a small black key with the character for Earth carved into the head.

“This must be the Earth key we were promised,” Suyin replies, “Hopefully we can use this to get out of here.”

“A key?” Sunny replies, “Let’s go, then! I think I know what we can use that on!”

They rush up the iron staircase, their feet clanging chaotically against the steps. Once they reach the top, they discover a small hatch. Juanli turns the lever holding it shut and pushes it open. She climbs out and finds herself in the throne room. The hatch had been hidden underneath one of the tiles.

Sunny climbs out after her, followed by Suyin, who struggles to lift herself with her wounded arm. They all direct their attention to the throne.

A bruised and battered Fujisaki is sitting there, his hand over the Dragon’s Fury button. He seems to be unconscious but alive. However, he gives no indication that he’ll wake up soon.

Juanli’s trap may have saved everyone’s lives.

[If there’s anything you want to do with Fujisaki, then do it now. Otherwise, just post some reactions.]

Juanli gasped as they spotted Fujisaki with his hand on the button. "So he did try to kill us all." she shook her head sadly, a tuft of hari falling across her face.

Regaining her senses, she realised just how out of sorts she was following the scuffle in the bunker down below. She wiped the wet trails of tears from her face and redid her hair.

"Mr Fujisaki is a bad man, Sunny, but your Mama tricked him. In the Rabbit room earlier, I was able to disable the Dragon's Fury button and set it to give him a nasty shock!" She said forcing a smile for Sunny before looking up at Suyin and sharing a knowing look. "He's still alive though."

She looked around the room a little longer "I don't think we can take him with us in any case, even with one less arm he's probably too heavy but..." Juanli's eyes widened with realisation and she spun to face Suyin "But Mao! We...we might be able to find him maybe?" she suggested

"G-GAAAAH!!!"

"MAMA LOOK!! Your trap... it worked! That'sso cool!" Sunny exclaimed after hearing the explanation pointing at Fujisaki's unconscious body disrespectfully.

"Oh... do you... do you think uncle Mao is still alive?? I thought the sound we heard earlier was him falling..."

Suyin shakes her head. "If he's alive, then Mao is dead. He'd make sure of it."

She approaches Fujisaki's unconscious body and kicks it forcefully. "We should finish him off. If he wakes up, he could find and kill the others. There'd be no point in getting help for them if this bastard slaughters them all."

Juanli frowned more by her sister's willingness to murder than ambivalence to her husband's death "Sister, that's surely too harsh, besides..." she tilted her head towards Sunny "I think there's been enough torment today...maybe we could simply lock him up somewhere? Throw him through a gate so he has no CDP or something? He won't be able to leave that room then."

"After what he did, do you really think he deserves that mercy?" Suyin asks. "I've made up my mind. Give me the gun, Sunny. Once I have it, I'll wait until you two leave. The boy doesn't need to see this."

Juanli staggered back slightly from Suyin. "I...I'm sorry...I hadn't considered...he was your husband after all." Juanli pursed her lips and looked over to Sunny. "Sunny, you don't need that gun anymore, put it down and we'll go ahead ok?"

Sunny looks at both of them and nods silently, a worried expression on his face. He understood what had to be done.

He placed the gun on the floor in front of him.

Suyin carefully picks up the gun. "Go on ahead. I won't be long."

Juanli reluctantly brings Sunny to the antechamber. She casts a last disapproving look at Suyin before heading inside.

Suyin cocks the gun and then fires a single round into Fujisaki’s chest. He flinches slightly and then collapses over the arm of the throne. No fanfare rings out, just a single rap of the gun.

Suyin smiles, seeming satisfied.

The large monitor above the throne room turns on. Yin stares down at Suyin, a dark shadow covering her face.

“How dare you,” she spits, “Killing him in his sleep! You should be ashamed of yourself. At least my husband fought like a man when he threw yours down the elevator shaft.”

Suyin doesn’t flinch under Yin’s glare. She aims her gun at the screen.

“Shut your mouth, before I bust every monitor in this facility.”

“Do not toy with powers you do not understand,” Yin replies, “However, I have no need to exchange pleasantries. I would rather quietly watch you die.”

Suddenly, Suyin hears the roar of an inferno somewhere in the building. The screen switches to a live feed of the foyer, which appears to have burst into flames. The blaze begin to spread into the hallway. Was this part of the game?

“Ha. Haha. Hahaha!” Yin’s stilted laughter echoes throughout the facility.

“GAAH! Oh no!” Sunny shouts, “We’ve got to go to the room with all the guns, quick! We can get out through there!”

“The Armory?” Suyin replies, sprinting toward the antechamber. But we’ll just be boxed in there!”

“Just trust me!”

Sunny tries to make for the hallway but stops when the gate in front of him turns on. Its color changes to a deep black.

“An Afterlife Gate?” Suyin shouts, “Did Yin do that?”

“It’s fine!” Sunny replies, “We can take the air vent that Fujisaki used. Come on, Mama!”

Sunny grabs Juanli’s hand and runs to the air vent. He opens it up and crawls inside, leading the two sisters toward their escape…

------------------

Meanwhile, down in the bunker…

Mei lies on the floor. Her eyes glaze over as she stares at the wall, looking into a world beyond her own.

“Oh, God!” she says, flinching. “The bomb!”

Amethyst jumps slightly as she looks to the sound of her voice.

“What about it? We should be safe from it here.”

“No, we’re not!” Mei screams, jumping to her feet. “It’s gonna fucking kill us all!”

Mei runs down the corridor toward the Playroom.

“Wh-What?” Taikong shouts, “Mei, wait! Get back here!”

Mei sprints down the corridor and opens the colored door. On the other side she sees the bomb sitting in the middle of the room. Its display shines in the darkness.

0:00:30… 0:00:29… 0:00:28…

"Mei, what are you doing? Get away from there!" Sun Taikong shouted, running up behind her. "This bunker was designed to stop nukes, one little bomb like that won't kill us so long as we're in the other room!"

Mei turns around to face Taikong with a panicked gaze, "That's not true! I saw it! It's going to fucking kill all of you!" She shouts in response, "You need to run! Now!"

"If you open that door and go in there then it'll kill you! Get back here!" Amethyst yelled, not even crossing the corridor to keep her distance from the bomb.

"Saw it? What do you mean you saw it?" Sun Taikong yelled desperately, before pausing in realisation. "No, but... Please, you have to listen to me! I've seen this happen! It wasn't the same room, or the same bomb, but dreams are funny like that; it was this! I've seen what happens here! You'll die if you don't get out of here!"

"That's the point!" Mei yells, "If I don't stay here, the ceiling's gonna collapse on you, and I watched it happen!" She grits her teeth, "Please, Taikong..."

"If you stay there, you'll die, and I watched that happen! Over and over, nightmares night after night, I've seen this before!" Sun Taikong pleaded. "This whole time I've been trying to avoid that future, trying to prevent my premonitions from coming to pass; I won't let you throw your life away!"

"How is it throwing my life away if it's to save two people, you especially?!" Mei questions, slowly inching towards the bomb, "This is the bare minimum I can do after everything I've done!"

"There has to be another way! We can... take shelter, or chance the Afterlife Gate, or something! Please, I couldn't bear to lose you, especially like this! Preventing this moment, this single moment in time, is the only thing that's pushed me onwards since the Temple bombing!"
