The final stand.

*The skies are dark, the terrain gloomy. A massive volcano stands out amongst all the noise, its lava belching. This is apocalypse. A figure is seen nearing the heart of the volcano, its strides massive, quick and purposeful.*

**Z: Rakhala Supervolcano. Beautiful, hideous. Destructive, constructive. Utopia, Armageddon.**

*Z gazes wistfully behind him. What used to be Evernodd is now a scene from a dystopia movie.*

**Z:Don’t worry Evernodd. Once I finish this, your green pastures would be back, and those rats would be gone forever.**

*Z puts his 2 hands together in full concentration, channeling all radioactivity into one final nuke.*

**Z: With this, I hope to end all wars… Ye dead, V, B & Sh, shall be happy I avenged you. The conflict from primary school ends here!!**

*On Z’s hands appears the Ultlimanuke. This is death. Z edges towards the mouth of the volcano, his hand drooped over.*

**Z: Where is your god now?**

*Suddenly, a cyan beam strikes Z’s hand, causing him to drop the nuke, which thankfully only detonates on hitting lava.*

**X: Not with you.**

*X, D and Z fire shots mercilessly at each other as Z scrambles to recover the nuke.*

**Z: You think you’re stronger than me?**

**D: No, but we are.**

*X and D combine their shots, one blue from Prototype S and one red from Anti-Champion Rifle, into one brilliant purple ray. It zaps Z, and knocks him back, but he isn’t done yet.*

**Z: Chain nuke!!**

*We shift into the scene of a dark tunnel, where A is seen pacing down the corridor. All around him are inscriptions, ancient and powerful. A finds a box similar to that of Pandora’s.*

**A: Who I am? Who am I? Show yourself!**

*A opens the box. A blinding white flash envelopes him, with a mighty roar of thunder A is lifted high into the air into a heavenly pallor.*

**A: Come to me now!**

*A pair of giant, godly hands extend out to A from the clouds. They hand him a scroll. The letters on it morph.*

*Bolt. 8-olt. Ate-olt. Ate-ote. ATEOTY. AT THE END OF THE YEAR.*

**A: At The End of The Year?**

*As soon as he utters those words, his heart dies. We descend into a soft black.*

*The blast from Z sends X and D flying. Fortunately, they landed near the Ultimanuke.*

**X: Great! Now we can destroy this thing.**

*D nods and prepares his signature move. If only he knew how wrong he was.*

**D: Niujiao power!!**

*D grows a pair of Adamantium horns and strikes the nuke. The nuke however explodes, killing him and mortally wounding X.*

**X: How…**

**Z: It took me a while to realize my explosions were consecutive. A little sacrifice, which meant detonating the nuke remotely, wouldn’t matter,  as most of the energy is transferred to here…**

*Z takes out an even nastier looking nuke.*

**Z: Now that it absorbed the power of your dear friend, it’s gonna take you next. Have a taste of your own medicine.**

**X(smiling weakly): You lost.**

**Z(amused): Show me.**

*X expires, and Z is confused. Suddenly, the skies part, thunder rumbles and rain cascades. It stops abruptly as the clouds clear and the sun beams. All of a sudden, music starts playing, 360 degrees. It is Magnificent March from Bonnie Grace. A shining comet is seen, with A at the apex, illuminating the lands of Evernodd, and gradually ascending towards the heavens.*
