Chapter Twenty-seven: A Pups Prophetic Dream

Smashing the pommel of a stolen sword in the face of Bobby I send the Extinction Boss flying back into the End. Blood dripping from the slowly closing wounds across my body while my guts reeled themselves back inside of my stomach. Void Bosses holding the line against the tide of monsters from the End Gates while various races and monsters delay the end around us. Throwing the stolen sword it breaks the sound barrier which acts as a shield against Watchman's Rail Cannonns.

Rolling out of the way I shot a Dracolich in the side of the head with my old service pistol. Spinning on my heels my Trench Knife met the boot of Watchman gouging the ground below me from the force. Growling Purge materialized going fucking ape shit Guillotine HK417 in hand as he lunged at Bobby keeping her at bay. That was when Shin and his group came into view running from the World Tree's with the seeds to replace the destroyed ones. Nihirizumu was keeping their rear clear looking at Watchman I screamed something so random he paused in bewilderment.

"BACK TO WHERE YOU BELONG YOU DILDO! UP THE ENDS ASS!"

He choked as if not expecting me to just so shout such a random thing that he let up trying to stomp me. Taking that chance the skill [Plus Ultra Stregnth] triggered allowing my currently over a million strength stat to send him flying. Of course I had an obligation to make a reference shout because that anime was alright.

"PLUS ULTRA! BITCH!"

Eith Watchman being sent flying I helped Purge out, my knife decapitated Bobby before she was punted away. Her head looking at me very unamused so as I still had the skill triggered I referenced her as well.

"PLUS ULTRA! YA FUCKING CUNT!"

My boot met her face splattering gore everywhere temporarily taking her out of the picture. With one Extinction Boss pacified we kept the gates cleared as Shin's group neared. But W.O seems ready to play as the fucking thing opened an eye and next everyone knew Nihirizumu was utilizing a lot of Shiden skills to cover the rest. However, if those still kicking do what they're about to Nihirizumu will be KIA. Can't save everyone I know but I can decide who dies, because I have that right as a Developer.

When the sure kill attacks of every other Boss but Bobby and W.O were launched. My world shifted with me replacing Nihirizumu, the gates breaking down as Nihirizumu landed on his feet dazed. That's when shrill screams reached my ears and I just turned to smirk at my family. Saluting grimly [Damned Soldiers] triggered, twenty shades of war, twenty shades of my past entered the fray. Purge roaring at the top of his shriveled lungs as the attacks neared.

"Leave this to Wendigo team, after all these stupid children launched Armen attacks at the gates. So gotta be a good Dev, and keep my world from dying. I'll be back, I'm to much of s cockroach to die."

With those last words the gates collasped as my shade's kept dying and resummoning to delay the skills. With the gates collaspe sealing the End once more, just with all of us body blocking, skill blocking, and whatever ekse blocking the Armageddon attacks. We all fucking died horribly with no pain but I had hit the respawn button in the console as my HP became zero.

[Cupcake POV]

Jostling awake from that strange dream I looked around at the sleeping figures of my family. However, dad and mom aren't with us their scents are outside…. Getting up onto all fours as walking like dad is a pain I slowly made my way outside. There gazing up at the moon are my parents quietly just hugging each other. Mom's tail wagging gently as her head rested on Dad's shoulder humming softly. That last part of the dream resurface in my head.

Dad…. Dad died?

That's not possible he's so…. Invincible that such a nightmare…. Is scary to have. Dad's has had a lot of life threatening things done to him yet he's always walked it off. A crooked and dangerous smile on his face that makes me feel safe, his attitude of generally being so free spirited making me calm. But the feeling of the depressed smile on his face, how his attitude was in that dream at the end. It was like… like he knew he wasn't going to live unless he got lucky, as him and those people faced Death happily.

Unintentionally whining I watched my dad give me look over his shoulder. His eyes shining a bit in the dark as he gave me a relaxed and loving smile. His words making me tremble before I joined him and mom. Burying myself into his armor to try and forget that nightmare.

"Hey Cake, come here my little shadow. No need to hold back the water works if you had a nightmare."

He's an indifferent killer, a rather rude parent, a mean person… but he's my dad I love him how he is. He says he's not a hero but he's my hero. He's done so much for me since I was born thinking he was being sly but the subtle golden glow of his fingers. That glow always gave him away as he eased my pain with that hidden care. Just to hear him not hide it right now makes me happy.

He's my bloodied hero, my seemingly carefree father who I love more than anyone else.

"I love you… don't die…."

"Heh your father is a cockroach, not much can kill him I'm afraid. He's infuriatingly good at survival."

"Its alright my little prophet, that isn't set in stone…. I wouldn't hurt you like that, it'd be cold but I'd sacrifice anyone to prevent that outcome."
