Ep 16: But You Never Knew

Ep 16: But You Never Knew

Everyone cheers with their bottles of beer.

Everyone: "CHEERS!!"

Tatsuki: "We *Burp* really did *Burp* kick that fucking thing's *Burp* Ass!"

Everyone chuckles at the sight of drunk Tatsuki.

Cassandra comes in drunk and wraps her arm around Tatsuki.

Cassandra: "You *Burp* act like you even did anything with your...burned ass arm*Burp*"

Tatsuki: "HEY! I did everything...I...could..."

Tatsuki sits on a table a falls asleep.

Cassandra: "HA! fucking lightweight we got over here!"

Irina is lying on a table with a full stomach.

Yuji: "You think you can eat anymore, hm?"

Irina: "The emperor...NEVER BACKS DOWN!"

Irina attempts to grab a chicken leg but grows tired.

Irina: "I have decided to take a temporary nap."

Yuji giggles.

Ashlyn is talking to Mallory then notices N is sitting away from everyone else and not eating anything.

Ashlyn: "I'll be right back, I wanna talk to someone about something."

Mallory: "Oki! :3"

Ashlyn walks around the cafeteria and stands beside N on the right side.

Ashlyn: "Hey."

N ignores Ashlyn.

Ashlyn: "Hey!"

N ignores Ashlyn again.

Ashlyn punches N's forearm.

N slowly turns his head to the right to look at Ashlyn.

N: "Yes?"

Ashlyn: "Could we talk?"

N: "About what? I thought you hated me?"

Ashlyn: "Yeah well, I guess I ended on the wrong note. I just wanted to say..."

N turns his head back straight.

Ashlyn: "Really?"

N: "I'm listening."

Ashlyn: "Ahem...what I was trying to say was...thanks."

N: "For?"

Ashlyn: "For saving from that weird goopy thing earlier. I don't know what would happen if you didn't jump in."

N: "Mhm."

Ashlyn lets out a sigh of disappointment.

Ashlyn: "Would it kill you to say you're welcome?"

N: "Probably."

Ashlyn: "Whatever."

Ashlyn walks away but stops and turns around to say something.

Ashlyn: "You know, you're not the only one trying to live. There are other people around too."

Ashlyn walks away and returns to Mallory and Jizzabelle.

N: "Who said I was trying to live?... That reminds me, what was that voice in my head earlier? It sounded exactly like me but...different."

A shadowy figure appears across from where N is sitting.

The shadowy figure bends and morphs into a giant skeletal creature.

??: "Burden."

The shadowy figure disappears.

N: "The hell was that about?"

A drink comes flying at N then N catches it with his left hand.

N looks at the drink as it reads: "Woca Cola."

Banishment: "I thought maybe you could use a drink."

Banishment approaches N.

N: (Why does everyone want to talk to me...ew.)

(Brackets mean the character is speaking in their thoughts)

Banishment: "Are you sure you're alright? You took quite a fatal blow."

N pops the drink open.

N: "Well, my arms and legs feel like they're about to melt off but besides that...everything seems about fine."

Banishment: (how strange...that attack seemed as if it could paralyze any target that would be hit with its pins, but he is walking it off as if it never happened.)

N: "Weren't you going to get us all patched or something? Where's that Eli girl?"

Banishment: "Unfortunately, she didn't make it"

N suddenly stops drinking.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

N: "What do you mean?"

Banishment: "She sacrificed herself to save you, Ashlyn...everyone."

N: (So that thing I saw was her...)

Banishment: "It's really unfortunate..."

A flashback occurs of Elizabeth helping pick Banishment up from the ground.

Banishment: "She always saw the good in people, and could always see right through what was wrong with anyone."

Banishment looks at his hand as Syn bleeds through his bandages.

Banishment: (I'm surprised she didn't see right through me.)

Banishment: "But never mind my rambling I just wanted to inform you. Besides, I'll inform everyone else eventually. Plus, if you ever want to join there's still a little bit of food left."

N: "Don't plan on it."

Banishment: "Oh well, worth a shot."

Banishment walks away back into the group still eating their food.

N gets flashbacks of Elizabeth.

N: (Wierd...someone died...not that I really knew her though.)

Jacob is standing behind the entrance to the cafeteria.

Jacob: "ok...you can do this, for Eva, Elizabeth, everyone."

Jacob turns and stands in front of the cafeteria.

Jacob: "EVERYONE!"

Everyone in the cafe stops what they're doing and looks over at Jacob.

Jacob: "I think it's time you got to know the truth."

Tatsuki: "Someone say something? no? Cool."

*Minutes later*

Everyone is gathered around with Jacob sitting at the end of the long cafeteria table.

Jacob: "Now first things first, Elizabeth...is dead."

Cassandra: "WHAT?!"

Tatsuki: "Oh shit..."

Ashlyn: "HOW?! SHE WAS-"

Jacob: "She had a theory that the omen was a walking time bomb, so she used the full potential of her ability and released it to contain the explosion right after the omen was defeated."

Ashlyn gets a flashback of seeing someone smiling with tears in their eyes.

Ashlyn: "So...the person I saw was..."

Cassandra hugs Ashlyn as she sits down.

Cassandra: "Ok, so now that she's gone who's gonna tend to our wounds?"

Jacob: "I was just getting to that."

Jacob stands up.

Jacob: "If you could all follow me."

Jacob leads the group to the infirmary.

Cassandra: "Okay, so what exactly did you want to show us?"

Jacob grabs a giant cloth and removes it revealing several giant capsules with green liquid filling each of the capsules.

Tatsuki: "What kind of probing shit is this?"

Jacob: "This is what she left for us. These are healing capsules that should heal all of your wounds when needed."

Cassandra: "This is what's gonna be our personal healer?"

Yuji: "Wow, when you say it like that it sounds like she's just an object!"

Cassandra: "I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!"

Jacob: "Would anyone like to try it?"

Tatsuki: "SHOTGUN!"

Tatsuki touches the glass of one of the capsules, causing the capsule to open,

Tatsuki: "So do I just-"

Jacob: "Simply lay yourself down in the capsule."

Tatsuki dips his right leg into the capsule and gets goosebumps.

Tatsuki: "Oooo it feels like slime."

Tatsuki dips the rest of his body into the capsule. The glass slowly lowers and closes the capsule.

Everyone gathers around the capsule in curiosity.

Mallory: "How are you feeling bud?"

Tatsuki: "It actually feels quite nice...oh wow, I could get used to this."

Cassandra looks up to talk to Jacob.

Cassandra: "So...when exactly does this healing start?"

Jacob: "Give it a second."

Tatsuki begins to glow within the capsule.

Yuji: "Woahhh...magic."

Ashlyn: "Look, his arm!"

Tatsuki looks at his burnt right arm as it begins to crack revealing a brand-new arm.

Tatsuki: "woah..."

Cassandra: "That was quick."

Jacob touches the glass of the capsule, causing the capsule to open.

Jacob: "How do you feel?"

Tatuski tries moving his new arm.

Tatsuki: "Better...a lot better actually, I FEEL LIKE I CAN LIFT A BOULDER."

Jacob: "Relax, your arm healed, you didn't gain a new body."

Jacob: "And with this, I have another thing to say."

Everyone: "Hm?"

Jacob: "Elizabeth left me with a promise. And all I can say is...I'm sorry, I thought that being strict and direct could be more motivational, and the fact that people could be dying each day made me think that letting everyone out with zero training would be the best solution. For that, I have nobody to blame but myself, I'm sorry."

Jacob bows.

Ashlyn: "I mean...you were kind of an asshole in the beginning but I think that everyone deserves a second chance so-"

Ashlyn offers her hand to Jacob.

Ashlyn: "Put' er there."

Jacob hesitates at first but grabs Ashlyn's hand and shakes it.

Jacob: "Thank you. Really, everyone, thank you."

Cassandra: "Since this capsule is so-called good I wanna try it out next!"

Mallory: "NO FAIR! YOU DIDN'T EVEN LET US THINK!"

Cassandra: "YOU DIDN'T EVEN FIGHT!!"

Ashlyn: "EARLIEST BIRTHDAY GOES FIRST!!"

Jacob giggles.

Banishment appears from behind Jacob and wraps his arm around Jacob's shoulder.

Banishment: "I haven't heard you laugh in years."

N is sitting against the wall.

Jacob: "Yeah well, a guy can change I guess."

Banishment: "Proud of you, Jay Jay."

Jacob lightly punches Banishment in the stomach.

Jacob: "Only one person can call me that, Banshee."

Banishment: "Haha. We've got a long way to go, huh?"

Jacob: "Yeah...but I think we'll make it work."

A wolfman with white fur and human abs walks up a mountain of stairs and arrives at a giant door, almost 30 feet tall.

The Wolfman puts his clawed hands on the giant doors and slowly pushes the door open.

The wolfman walks up to a gigantic throne room with a red carpet leading to a giant throne with multiple tubes flowing blue fluids plugged into the back of the throne. Several hooded figures with different colors are standing along the carpet next to the throne, 3 on the left, and 4 on the right.

a man wearing a kimono on the bottom half of his body with his top half completely wrapped in bandages, and long black hair with spiky edges begins to talk.

??: "You have 3 seconds to tell me why you've come here without notifying me."

The Wolfman sits on one knee and puts his paw on the floor.

Wolfman: "I, bruiser, have gone under hellish training and brutal teachings, so brutal that it has destroyed my physical being, I believe that it's finally time for me to go out and show those mortals my absolute power, my Lord."

??: "And you are so sure that you won't fail me again? I haven't released you onto the human realm in 150 years."

Bruiser: " And I have been going through hellish training trying to undo that 150-year-old mistake."

??: "And how am I meant to believe that you will not fail me again?"

a red hooded figure on the right side starts to talk.

Hood: "Oh come onnn my lord, I think it could be quite fun! plus, shouldn't you let your wittle pooch go out for a walk?"

??: "You're sure you can do this?"

Bruiser: "Yes, my Lord."

??: "And you won't fail me? just like 150 years ago?"

Bruiser: "It is my branded promise, my Lord."

??: "Very well, but know that this is the last chance to prove your worth."

Bruiser: "Much gratitude, my Lord."

Bruiser stands up and begins to walk away from the throne room, but right before Bruiser leaves the throne room-"

??: "Oh, and Bruiser?"

Bruiser turns around in response.

Bruiser: "Yes, my Lord?"

??: "I gave you a name for a reason. Because I believed you were different from the others, so if you come back to me empty-handed, I will rip off all your limbs, twist them together, and shove them down your throat."

The kimono man lifts his finger and sends a shockwave at Bruiser.

??: "Don't you dare test my patience."

Bruiser: "I will not fail you, my Lord!"

Bruiser leaves the throne room and slowly closes the 30 feet door.

The same red hooded figure notices the hooded members are uneven and begins to talk.

Hood: "Hey, where did Abel (Ahh-bell)go?"

??: "He died a foolish death, he allowed mercy to consume his soul."

Hood: "Aw man, he sure was tough, not a single one of us could beat him. Hell, I don't think not even you could beat him, my Lord."

The kimono man gets frustrated and lifts his right finger causing the red hooded figure to be crushed with intense gravity.

Hood: "AGH!"

??: "You dare test my strength?"

Hood: "NO, MY LORD! I THINK YOUR STRENGTH IS UNFATHOMABLE, ABSOLUTE TO ITS ULTIMATE LEVEL."

The kimono man puts his finger down releasing the red hooded figure from the intense gravity.

A purple-hooded figure leans over to the red-hooded figure and starts to talk.

Purple hood: "Shouldn't have tested him."

hood: "Cough...fuck off, Dyspo! (Dis-poh)"

Bruiser stands on a pile of rubble and starts to stretch and crack his bones.

Bruiser: "Now then, where should I begin?"

Bruiser raises his left arm as his claws begin to glow red and SCRATCHES the air.

The floating claw marks morph into a rift, the rift reveals a giant intersection in Japan.

Bruiser: "Oooo, that looks like a good start. And now-"

Bruiser smiles revealing his sharp wolf teeth as he begins to drool.

Bruiser: "Let the feast begin."

Brusier enters the rift and the rift closes from behind him.

Ep 16-End

Irina is still laying on a cafeteria table with her stomach full.

Irina: "I WILL OVERCOME THIS IMPOSSIBLE DEBUFF!....*Burp*"
