Chapter 49: Three's A Crowd: Final showdown

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Shard swung his sword and sliced one of the pixel gauntlets in half as it was sent his way, causing it to shatter into pieces. Meanwhile Treble was busy smashing other gauntlets that tried to land a hit on him, only to be met with a brass knuckle. Roden stood while firing shots at Celia who kept glitching out of the way of the incoming bullets.

Roden stopped for a moment, narrowed his eyes and waited for Celia to disappear again. Once she did he turned to another spot and fired. Celia appeared in that spot and ended up,with a bullet in her chest, causing her to stagger and fall onto her back while clutching her chest. Roden began to rapidly fire into the girl's body, not giving her the chance to recover until he had to reload his gun.

When he did, he put the pistol in his pocket, grabbed Celia by the hair and swung her around. “Treble! Heads up!”

Treble quickly turned around and nodded, reading his fist. Roden let go of Celia and sent her flying towards Treble who swung his fist forward, striking her right in the face with the force of both his punch and Rodens throw. Time seemed to move in slow motion as his fist collided with Celia's face. As time returned to normal Celia was sent tumbling across the dirt path with a huge fist print on her face. Shard spun around with his blade and destroyed the last two gauntlets before sheathing his blade and walking to Trebles side, Roden doing the same.

Celia covered her face as she began to heal it, placing her free hand on the ground to lift herself up onto her feet again. “Just give up already, we all know how this is going to end.” Shard said while crushing a pixel under his foot.

“He's right, there's only one outcome to this if you continue. Our worlds all need is to keep going, if we keep going all that will happen is you're end.” Roden added.

“Aye…” Treble said uneasily, not fully understanding what Roden was suggesting, but decided to go along with it as he showed similar behaviour to Hack Wonder from his world, only far more mature and self controlled.

Celia shakily got to her feet and glared at the trio. ”Fucking...main characters...think that you're invincible...well let me tell you, even main characters have to die sometime.”

With a snap of her fingers the three were lifted into the air before being thrown towards the trees, their backs colliding with the glass-like wood causing them all to grunt in pain.

”Here I control the story!”

Celia opened her hands and lifted Shard and Roden up into the air before slamming them together. They then began to lose control of their bodies as they began to punch and scrape at themselves.

She summoned two more pixel gauntlets and floated them up to the two before using them to grab the two and start crushing them.

Treble got to his feet and charged Celia, knocking her over and causing her to lose control over the story.

As Roden and Shard fell to the ground now freed from Celia's grip, Roden lifted himself up to see some kind of remote landing beside him. “Is this your doing Pyra?” I've only been able to gain some control again and was able to send in something to finish this fight, give this to Treble, it should destroy her. “Got it.”

Roden grabbed the remote and quickly began running over to Treble who kicked Celia away before she could bring about another gauntlet.

“Treble, take this!” Roden threw the remote to Treble who caught it and looked at it confused, before recognising what it was and looked up, seeing a black dot of something floating miles above the group. He smirked and backed away from Celia who was getting to her feet.

”What're you doing? Why'd you stop?”

“OBC.” Treble said simply while pressing a few buttons on the remote.

”What the hell does that mean?”

As Shard reached the group again Roden smirked under his scarf. “OBC stands for...orbital bass cannon.”

Celia's pupils shrank to mere dots as Treble smirked evilly and placed earmuffs on, Shard and Roden ducking behind trees while covering their ears. “See’ya bitch.”

Treble pressed a button on the remote and the dot above them began to glow red. That dot was a satellite with a very special modification made to it. The front cannon opened up and began to build up energy before sending a huge beam of dubstep and techno music channeled into energy shooting down towards its target, Celia.

She didn't even have time to move as the laser crashed down onto her and slowly broke her body down with the rhythm of the songs which Treble began bobbing his head to.

Once the beam ceased it's barrage of wubs, Treble took off the earmuffs and the others came out of hiding. All that was left of Celia was one single pixel in a small steaming crater in the dirt path which Roden quickly crushed under his foot. “Well gents, I think our work here is done.” Roden stated happily as he dusted himself off.

“I've dealt with a few things to do with the supernatural in my life, but this was by far the weirdest thing I've ever done.” Shard said while rubbing the back of his head.

“Well, it's over now, now it's just a case of getting home.” I'm already on it.

Two portals appeared beside the group, one leading to Shards world while the other led to Trebles. The two main characters turned to each other and shook hands.

“It was nice to fight alongside you Treble, maybe if our worlds stay linked we'll meet again.” Shard said as he smiled.

“Aye.” Treble responded with his own smile. The two brofisted before jumping through their individual portals.

Roden sighed sadly. “Just open up the portal Pyra, I've accepted my fate.”

Are you sure you want this? It doesn't have to be this way.

“I know I'm only a copy of the real Roden Godswell, created simply for a crossover. Once I step through that portal and this crossover ends, I'll cease to be, regardless of whether I live or not the real Rodens story will continue. My path ends here.”

No, it doesn't.

“What do you mean?”

Shards world has its own Roden, so does most other worlds. However, Trebles world doesn't.

Shards portal closed but Trebles remained open. “Are you serious?”

The choice is yours. Another portal opened, revealing Rodens world. I won't decide for you, you can either keep,existing in a new world with new friends, or doom yourself to nonexistence. I leave it up to you.

Roden looked into his portal before looking into Trebles, multiple mixed feelings coursing through his mind as he thought about the decision he was about to make.


Shard landed on the other side of the portal into his world where Ditzy, Rayleigh and for some reason Treble Mix were waiting for him. He just smiled at his friends before turning back towards the portal.

I'm sorry but I've got to do this, I just can't let the moment slip away.

Suddenly Treble ran out of the portal, ran up to Treble Mix and punched him in the face. There is only one Treble and it is mine!

With a final wave Treble jumped back through the portal into his world. Once on the other side he looked back to the mirror, his reflection fading out to show Shards world. They both waved to each other before turning around and walking away.

Suddenly, Roden jumped out of Trebles mirror portal. Treble turned around confused as to why he would be followed into his world. “I can't go back to my own world, so, I'm staying in this one from now on.”
