Jacob and Holly are at a standoff as they both slowly walk around in a circle.

Holly: "How the fuck did you survive? I thought I blew your head clean off!"

Jacob: "Wouldn't you like to know, weather bitch?" (I can't believe that actually worked...right before her words connected, I used my original rule with the word "Revive" but even I haven't tried anything like that before.)

Holly: "You know, it doesn't have to end this way."

Jacob: "Trust me, I know, but you made it this way."

Holly: "Crumble"

Jacob: "Grab"

An air hand forms a fist as blue flames it out everywhere.

Holly: "How did you-"

Jacob: "You really think you're an expert at this?"

Jacob suddenly appears behind Holly and grabs Holly's head.

Jacob: "I think I'm starting to get it..."

Jacob: "Ricochet"

Holly is suddenly bouncing all over the hallway until CRASHING upward into a strange room full of bones.

Holly lands on the pile of bones as she's covered in her own blood.

Holly: "Heal"

Holly stands back up with all of her bleeding wounds completely healed.

Jacob comes in casually floating into the room.

Jacob: "You really got quite an ego, huh? Getting your own kind of room or something?"

Holly: "You won't stop me...from this new world..."

Jacob: "Honestly I think I shouldn't."

Holly: "What?"

Jacob: "Go ahead, try to play god, see how far you go, I really do wonder how the world could handle you being its leader. Hell, I wonder how you'll even be punished for trying to play a being that doesn't even exist."

Holly gets frustrated and screams.

Holly: "GUTTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT!"

Nothing happens.

Holly: "Wha-GUTTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT!!"

Holly: "Why isn't this stupid book working?"

Jacob: "Because you're unsure."

Holly: "What?"

Jacob appears Holly.

Jacob: "That's the problem with Original Rule, while it's powerful, you gotta be 100 percent sure of your usage of its power."

Holly attempts to backhand Jacob but Jacob turns to dust as the dust recollects to become again as he sits while floating.

Holly: " JUST DIE ALREADY!"

Nothing happens again.

Holly: "I DON'T UNDERSTAND, WHY WON'T IT-"

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

Jacob: "You're unsure, 'cause I'm someone close to you as of the current status. I'm right, aren't I? You probably couldn't find anyone because you believe in this faith you've started."

Holly: "SH-SHUT UP!!"

Jacob: "You probably hypnotized these people to even remotely believe in the same things you believe in, didn't you?"

Holly: "Y-you're wrong..."

Jacob: "You know I'm right! it's not too late to be given a second chance, even after all the fucked up shit you did!"

Jacob floats toward Holly as Holly falls to her knees as starts to tear up.

Jacob kneels down and offers his hand.

Holly: "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...what am I doing? All of this because I'm lonely? how stupid could I be?"

Jacob: "Come on, to turning a new leaf?"

Holly: "Yeah...to turning a new leaf!"

As Jacob turns around a machete with a bright red blade comes out of his chest and he barfs out blood.

Holly whispers in his eyes while holding her machete.

Holly: "I wasn't unsure about anything, I just added a bit of syn as an effect to make it look like I was using Original Rule. Oh, by the way, don't act like you know anything about me."

Holly drives the machete further down his chest until hitting the top of his stomach.

Holly whispers again: "I'm sorry it had to be this way, Jacob."

Jacob: "Sigh...I'm sorry too..."

Holly: "What?"

Jacob taps the tip of the Machete's blade.

Jacob: "Reverse."

The machete suddenly wiggles and STABS Holly in the gut.

Holly: "He-"

Before Holly can use Original Rule to heal-

Jacob: "Shut your mouth."

Holly's mouth is suddenly stitched shut as she struggles to say any words.

Jacob: "You can't really do anything with your mouth shut, can you?"

Holly conjures a scythe and attempts to slice Jacob but Jacob deflects the scythe away.

Holly: "Mmmm...MMMM..."

Jacob: "Lemme just show you something that shows you how fucking inferior you are to me..."

Jacob snaps his fingers as everything goes black a giant pool of blue flames surrounds Holly and Jacob.

Holly: "MM! MMM!!"

Jacob: "So you're aware that this syn? Now trust me I may look like a criminal but trust me, I haven't much of what's considered bad...but did you know that the power of Syn can grow with how much regret is behind your actions?"

Jacob GRABS Holly by the neck and Holds her up.

Jacob: "Trust me when I say, I regret everything that I've done up until now with every fiber of my being. Hell, if I could go back in time to stop it I would."

Jacob snaps his fingers as everything back to normal.

Jacob: "So if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking what is rightfully fucking mine!"

Jacob snatches the book from Holly's hand.

Jacob: "You know, I came here with the intention of not killing anyone...but I'm afraid I gotta bend some rules around here."

Jacob THROWS Holly into the wall as she CRASHES into the original chapel where everyone else is fighting.

Cassandra is holding Hood 1 by the head as the rest of his body is melting and burning.

Cassandra: "The hell was that?"

The smoke clears revealing to Holly with a giant and long piece of wood is covered in blood and coming out of her stomach.

Irina: "Is that..."

Cassandra: "I think it is..."

Ashlyn: "...I...thought..."

Cassandra extinguishes her hand to head pat Ashlyn.

Cassandra: "It was either us or her, little sis."

Yuji's hands begin to shake uncontrollably.

Yuji: (I thought we promised not to kill...anybody...AREN'T THEY THE SAME HUMANS AS WE ARE?!?! WHAT MAKES US SO DIFFERENT?!)

N looks over to see her corpse.

N: "Jesus..."

The little girl continues to be in awe and joy.

Jacob floats down as all of the other hooded figures slowly back away.

Jacob: "It didn't have to be this way...may you rest in peace at least, you crazy bitch..."

Holly: (Is this it...isn't anybody gonna help me? Isn't someone brave enough to come up and save me? You're just gonna let me die...no.)

Holly RIPS the stitches out of her mouth with one last breath.

Holly gets visions of a woman.

Woman: "Holly, I see you and me going places...no matter what anyone tells us, we're gonna make it out of this shithole I JUST KNOW IT!"

Holly: (No...there was one person brave enough...)

The woman helps Holly from the ground.

Woman: "Are you alright? They really up and left you like that? how rude!"

Holly: (The one person...I had to destroy to get here.)

The woman is seen in a burning building as she cries and falls to the ground.

Woman: "Holly? What are you doing?"

Holly: (But I'm afraid that's how my story was supposed to go...)

*REAL-TIME*

Holly says one last with her dying breath.

Holly: "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad"

"Jacob: "Huh?"

Holly: "NEXT...STAGE"

Holly EXPLODES into a pool of blood.

Ep 28-End.
