Chapter 188

Goodbye, Cleansing Days is the One-Hundredth and Eighty-Eighth chapter of Lucas’ series Trey's Anime
The chapter starts with gyro narrating saying in that moment, what I felt wasn’t fear, anger, surprise, or happiness. All I felt was utter despair(flashback to the rainy night at his house when his parents were killed). He thinks it’s just that all over again…nothings changed…I haven’t changed…he looks down at his hand shaking and then at squawks’ and he whispers I’m such a failure….but before he can accept the hand in front of him a huge shockwave bursts out the wall and knocks squawks through a wall into the next room. He says don’t listen to his bullshit gyro! Gyro says romaji!! Romaji says gyro…I saw you up here with squawks on the cams and and got up here as fast as I could! We see a flashback of him seeing it on bravos can systems and running to the elevator thinking this thing still work? And reaches the top floor sneaking around the back hallway and through a room so he could blast through and get squawks away! He says I’m sorry that this happened. People are horrible man…gyro is crying and starts to get up and says this is about normal for me, What I expected… 
Romaji says you shouldn’t have to expect this! It’s ok though now, I’m here for you. I’d never rat you out…he puts his hand out to gyro who’s still sobbing on the floor and he takes it…t-thank you ma- suddenly squawks flies through and slashes gyro away and romaji screams shooting a shockwave point blank range into squawks’ skull, squawks falls backwards in slow motion thinking damnn I have to be careful.  Romaji, his powerful shockwaves can shatter bones and level buildings in moments. If he’s gonna repel romaji while trying to get gyro to safety…he has to be fast! He yells red hawk wing flurry! Several of his wings surround romaji piercing his sides and romaji dodged them as squawks tries to fly past to gyro, but romaji says I don’t think so and grabs onto squawks leg shooting a shockwave into it! We cut to gyro who’s moving away toward the balcony holding his wound on his chest from the slash squawks got in on him and he thinks there’s no way I could take that hand…how could he! He thinks I can’t run away, I gotta help romaji!! The person who’s my real friend! He turns around and pulls his gun out putting a round in the chamber and points it back at where squawks and romaji are fighting. He thinks I just have to shoot right before squawks comes over my sight…romaji gets grazed a few more times by squawks attacks and notices gyro behind them by the balcony thinking I gotta get out of the line of fire, and squawks notices him looking there and thinks gyro! He uses duel swords to slash romaji away and flies towards gyro saying stop don’t gyro! Gyro is looking scared and crying yelling I don’t need your help! You liar! You think I’d trust someone who hurt me? Who hurt my friends again? He takes the shot and one squawks’ wings slices through it before it hits him. Squawks tackles gyro getting ontop of him saying I know you have every reason not to trust me but please…I just want us to both get out of this alive… squawks looks upset holding the sword in his hand while glancing over his back. Gyro grabs onto squawks’ arm and says go ahead and kill me then! I’m not gonna cooperate, so just finish me off like the trash I am! Squawks pulls the sword up yelling ugh stop! Gyro starts punching him and squawks knees him in the face holding the sword over him. Romaji runs around the corner limping from a cut from the blade and says gyro! He point the blaster up but squawks slashes through one of them with his wings destroying it and then he goes I’m sorry… and as he goes down to press it into him he freezes. Gyro thinks he- he can’t do it? He laughs and calls him too soft to go through with it… and grabs the blades end holding it to himself…do it hero! Romaji gets up and smirks saying he can’t… and runs up to him but squawks turns around and starts slicing through romaji’s shockwaves saying I’ll deal with you in a minute, stay out of this man! He sends 100’s of feathers at him and suddenly feels something piercing his shoulder! Gyro shot through him and romaji yells RUN GYRO! HES TO STRONG! Gyro thinks what about you?? Romaji says ILL BE FINE, LIVE! GO LIVE THE LIFE YOU DESERVE! Gyro grits his teeth then starts running away along the balcony to the stairs saying ok! Squawks starts to get up thinking damn it…and gyro smashes the blaster into his chest shattering straight through squawks rib cage and he yells ah!!!We cut to gyro running away thinking all my life…I’ve been running…from my past, the law, people…everything. Then we see him thinking about joining the cleansers and when wifey saved him and he lashed out to protect her…and the times with squawks and how he betrayed him. He thinks but for this one time, he stops at the edge of the stairs and turns around looking at squawks who is soaring into him…he says you can’t do it! Squawks closes his eyes thinking I’m sorry. A heart is shown breaking as he holds his bade up flying straight into gyro and we see blood splash. Gyro continues saying…this one time…I’m gonna face the future… and we see a panel of the sword going through gyros chest as he hangs over the balcony and squawks is looking away…squawks says I’m sorry it had to be this way…and gyro grabs on, looking up and saying no…don’t apologize you bastard…this is the way it’s always been for me, this is where I was meant to end up. He smiles with blood running from his mouth and wound, as he goes limp and starts to fall backwards off the sword and off the balcony…romaji yells gyro as squawks falls over to the ground and gyro falls off… gyro says his life wasn’t a tragedy…he made the friends he looked for for so long…and he finally came to terms with himself… and he’s happy he could go out on his own terms…saying goodbye to this useless world. We see a shot from far away of him crashing down into the ground , end of chapter. 19 w/color page
