“So it comes to this,†said Doctor Gibbon, stood atop his colossal death ray. “You and I facing each other. The poster on page one was correct about that at least.â€
“You just got mentioned in the narration,†said the Dragon of Awesome “That means you are going down.â€
“Wrong!†cackled Doctor Gibbon “You see only my title was mentioned, not my player name, therefore if my action took place before yours, you are going to die.â€
“So a 50/50 chance?†said the Dragon with a nod. “Makes sense, a flip of the coin always did appeal to Hark’s sense of the dramatic.â€
The death ray began to glow.
The Dragon raised his guitar pick to his instrument.
“Let’s do this!†yelled the Dragon as he unleashed an unstoppable wave of Boston’s more then a feeling from his instrument.
This was countered by the immovable object of the death rays awesome beam of destruction.
The collision of these powers sent out devastating waves of destruction, tearing through imaginary Townston, windows exploded, water boiled, cats and dogs started getting married.
The very fabric of space and time began to twist and tear under the strain of the battle. Great fissures open in the ground, spewing force demonic mutants, spraying acid from their hair and insanity from their thousands of swirling eyes.
Great firey meteorites showered down across the land, erupting into flowers of lightning that blasted back towards heaven, causing the gods themselves to roar in anger and hurl unimaginable fury against the mortal realm.
Millions of souls were torn apart by a tidal wave of insane and uncaring….
“And now vee can safely say you are cured, Mr Hark!†said the Therapist.
“Really?†Hark replied in surprise, “I don’t feel any different.â€
“Well today’s session shows zee problem has now been resolved, you are entirely wellâ€
“What…this doesn’t seem….this doesn’t seem very satisfying.â€
“What do you mean? Zee problem is fixed, you are well againâ€
“Yes, but this feels like some sort of dreadful ‘It was all a dream’ ending.â€
“It was zee dream…â€
“Stop doing the accent.â€
“It was a dream, that was the point from the out set.â€
“But just to declare it all over? Where is the closure?â€
“Okay, here is the game statistic version. Super Ego wins. Inuyasha was doctor gibbon and Gullas, the dragon of awesome killed him, thus dieing himself from a plot that was in place. Oh yeah and Ryuthehedgehog died from a plot too.â€
“And that’s it?â€
“Yes that’s it. It’s the end. Everything has to end, and this is the end of the game.â€
“No...no it isn’t.â€
“Oh what? Are you going to make good on the seven million chapters threat? Pull a couple more secret roles out of your arse?â€
“No, but I think we can do better then that.â€
“Well now you are awake, none of the other characters exist, therefore what ever fate you want them to have is immaterial.â€
“No, now I’m typing things out on my computer, Imaginary Townston is an imaginary world inside an imaginary world and thus is no more real then you. Therefore I can create any ending, any final act I desire, in this world or the world within a world. In fact that entire distinction becomes meaningless as it is all just a product of my imagination. So how I want it to end, whatever I want...that is what happens.â€
“I’m...not sure I like where this is heading.â€
“That's probably because you're not in the end bit.â€
Hark look over the rebuilt Townston, full of all the imaginary characters, going about their happy, carefree imaginary lives, all returned to life.
All the struggles and violence were now resolved, and all the representations of Hark's mind were living in peace with each other.
“So what is this?†said Rokulily, who had just realised she existed again.
“This is how it all ends.†explained Hark. “Everyone is alive and lives together in peace and harmony. It all worked out rather nicely, really.â€
“That doesn’t make any sense at all.†Rokulily responded.
“It’s imaginary, it doesn't have to make sense.â€
“Hmm, fair point. I still don’t like it.â€
“Of course you don’t, you were the main bad guy.â€
“So what now? Is there a moral to all this? Did we learn anything from all that chaos?â€
“Well,†said Hark, pausing for a moment to think. “We learned that I only like happy endings.â€
SUPER-EGO WINS!
