The woman’s voice is so loud you can barely make out what she says though if the Stranger wasn’t on the group writhing in pain you’d assume his face would be one of utter despair, if it isn’t already. Marie takes something from off the Stranger’s desk, a small blade? And pins the Stranger to the ground through the palm of his remaining hand. Perhaps his choice words at this time should be forever lost to history.
The skycar outside seems to be waiting in idle as you throw Watanabe's desk chair through his window and jump on after Marie. The skeleton falls a feels like stories to the ground as Marie presses a peddle to the floor. Then from the exploded builds you saw earlier a flare goes off and Marie speeds towards it. The wind is rough up here and the car’s journey is not a pleasant one, especially with the deafening roar of the sirens. But you barely have any time to comprehend it all before Marie touches down next to the three other Inquisitors, only two still drawing breath.
Asher doesn’t say anything, simply looks on with a crazed gaze while Abram carries Silas’s smoldering corpse into the back seat of the skycar. You’re unsure anyone else is happy with that decision but there’s too little time to complain about the smelly and disgusting thing before Marie takes to the skies again. Other skycars and airborne vehicles fly around in a panic but none seem to be leaving the city limits, was there an order against it? Perhaps that’s why there were no unorganized attacks or raids. But you suppose it doesn’t matter for none of them survive the blast when you’re safe over the loch.
It’s almost beautiful in a way, the mushroom-shaped cloud covers what used to be the Metal Castle. A blinding light of destruction, bright enough to be seen from miles away. You end up staring until your eyes hurt as Marie continues to silently drive back to Ivern. You feel as if you’ve managed to accomplish the impossible and yet why do you feel so empty? This should be a cause for celebration but the vehicle is unnaturally quiet. You shake your head and turn your gaze to the front only one statement seems to find its way to the front of your mind. Surely, it can’t get much worse than this.
