Ram's Head Saloon [Mod-Sanctioned C/CLT, v3]

[Afrikaaners Ryk]

Guys, is there an internet connection that I can use? I will need to take down that video.

"No, it's my fault too. I shouldnt've pushed you that far. I should've left you alone. But don't worry. My time was about to come anyway. Infact, it was more-or-less 20 years too late." He said, getting up and staring outside the window, where the van had just landed with Noel attacking Voormeulen.

"I don't mind. But maybe it's best if you leave it there, so people can know what happens when you're a man like me who thought he had nothing to lose." Pieter stated.

... Well, as you wish. As a learning point, I guess that seems reasonable. Maybe Clarissa and Marcus knew what the fuck they were doing.

May breathed hard, more tears leaving her face. "Death will take you? I didn't know... Well, goodbye, Pieter. I'm sorry for what I personally did. I wanted to kill you, but I lost control that night. It's my fault." She remembered that night. How she was covered in blood. Pieter's blood. Her fangs dropped, and she killed. Again and again that night, she relished in his death. She went literally insane, with it being a thrill. She was truly sorry.

"No, it's my fault too. I shouldnt've pushed you that far. I should've left you alone. But don't worry. My time was about to come anyway. Infact, it was more-or-less 20 years too late." He said, getting up and staring outside the window, where the van had just landed with Noel attacking Voormeulen.

[Afrikaaners Ryk]

Noel's guards got up. While the impact of the car was severe, their armor was capable of nullifying much of the force.

"You saved us, boss!"

"My leg hurts....

"Yes, yes, now..."

Noel retracted his gauntlet and punched out most of the roof of the car, snatching Voormeulen and pulling him out, then lifted Voormeulen's limp body high up by the neck. He had a fierce expression. "I'm sure you won't be able to make more of those abominations IN HELL." Then, in a rare moment, Noel took on a somewhat somber look. "Neither will you see them, for I guarantee they rest in paradise." He'd fling Voormeulen into a nasty puddle of chemicals and preservatives (and probably a few fetuses). "Since I killed your creations, it's only fair that one of mine kill you, yes? Hardiman, kill him."

Hardiman listened to the order. He was being watched by the entire crowd, everyone was watching him. He had just shown allegiance to the Red Force. Now was his time to prove it. But, before he ended a man's life, he thought about it. There was May, begging him to stop. Just stop killing for now. He saw the stares from Noel, subconsciously ordering him to kill. He'd made up his mind. "I will do this for loyalty to Red Force." He cocked the blaster back, and let go. It exploded out of his arm.

The upper part of the doctor's head was essentially vaporised, leaving nothing but a massive scorch mark and also a vigorous amount of blood. Like that, another one of Pieter's friends was gone. Velding was killed in the car crash, and Voormeulen had just been executed, but Pieter didn't care anymore about them. He had already lost all faith in himself, his comrades and his nation for what he did. But, there was one last person he still cared about.

He summoned a physical photo he had on his suit before that was burned by the Africans, one of his daughter. "O, Hendrika. Asseblief, God, beskerm haar en kyk hier bo." He said as suddenly a faint "Vaader" entered his earshot, suddenly making him shocked and resting his face in his hands as he sat back down.

"No, it's my fault too. I shouldnt've pushed you that far. I should've left you alone. But don't worry. My time was about to come anyway. Infact, it was more-or-less 20 years too late."

May almost cried. "Farewell, Pieter. For better or for worse, you're in my heart. In a way." She nodded.

"Well, whatever that way is, I'm hoping that way wasn't the one I took." He said.


Suddenly, a portal made from a blue-cyan fire appeared, and out came a ghostly figure.

"Pieter." The spirit growled. "Your time has come."

"Is she here?" Pieter solemnly asked, facing him with little fear left.

"Yes. She's waiting for you. Infact, they all are. Voormeulen. Velding. Even Kensington." The spirit relayed as Pieter grew some sort of reaction to the news of his friends coming into his afterlife with him. "I originally was going to keep them out of it so you could suffer, but with your surprising sympathy, I thought you'd at least be able to endure all eternity with your comrades. Or, at least, the comrades you still had faith in, I suppose. Like your daughter. Don't worry, I'll probably get them to change too."

He nodded as the spirit put his hand on his back, and Pieter turned to the rest of the patrons.

"Well, this is it. The inevitable end. Totsiens, everyone. I'll be remembering this for the eternity I'll be spending here. Also, Giko, I'm sorry. I should've ordained from dictatorship like you did when I had the chance. Now, farewell, for it's time to repay everyone for the damage I've caused." He said as him and the spirit left off into the portal, never to be seen again, with this music playing as a finale to his exit into the underworld, to never be seen from again, leaving behind nothing but the destroyed truck, Velding and Voormeulen's corpses, his slouch hat, his '777' eagle badge, his horrific legacy, his gun and the photo of Hendrika.

Vixen walks out of a shadow and sits in a booth "Such an odd state." He says to himself.

He grabs a jar and hands it to a demon who resembles the look a lot more than Vixen.

May cried as she said goodbye. "Goodbye, Pieter. It doesn't make your passing any easier, but at least you owned up to your sins in the end. May bowed, slightly. She wondered how he went. By portal? They'd known about portals, but not how to make them. She looked at his possessions. Was that how she was going to die, one day? She pushed it out of her mind. "I'm sorry." She said, one final time.

Gikochinai entered the Saloon, cheerful as ever. She’d been looking forward to returning, so she was oblivious so what had just happened or indeed the remains of recent events lingering in the vicinity. She was too focused too take notice, humming and skipping with her eyes closed. She almost hit the wall several times, but miraculously managed to remember which way to go upon her arrival and entered the Saloon.

”Hi everyone! I’m-“ She stopped waving, her smile fading a little, when she noticed May crying. That meant she either very happy or very sad, and given what happened in the Saloon, she decided it was probably sad. Gikochinai decided to approach her. Her voice wasn’t as loud as before when she spoke. ”What happened? Are you ok?”

Sabrina got her feet off Juan's face for a moment to comfort May, picking up some of the items.

"Don't worry, amigo. He's already forgiven you. You didn't do anything bad. Infact, if you hadn't done what you did, somebody else would have done worse to him. You're not a bad person, May. You just have your problems. We all do." Sabrina tried to tell her.

Her voice wasn’t as loud as before when she spoke. ”What happened? Are you ok?”

There's also a burning car inside the bar, overturned on its side and seemingly had suffered catastrophic structural damage, with a mess of chemicals, corpses, and fetuses spilling out the back. There was a burnt and bloody corpse still in the car, and a man whose head is now a smoldering neck stump.

Noel stared at the headless corpse. "Roach." He punted the corpse into the mess and gave a brief chuckle before walking away. Cleaning it up would be a pain in the ass but it would not be Noel's pain in the ass, so Noel and his guard headed off to the bar.

A group of raiders arrived to the scene and whisper amongst themselves.

"Wow. He's more edgy than a chiliagon, and that thing has 1000 edges. There are shapes with more edges, but they just end up looking like circles, so that wouldn't really be approachable." Carlos commented.

"Wonder how he'd feel if the universe suddenly collapsed and took all life with it." Jose stated.

"He wouldn't feel anything because he'd be dead, pendejo. Everything would cease to exist if the universe ends. No pain, no feeling, nothing. You're just gone, no questions asked. Not even an afterlife, because the universe collapsed and it took you with it, idiota." Fernando desperately explained to Jose. "That's how a collapsed universe would make you feel."

"Well, sorry for being wrong!" Jose sarcastically said to Fernando. "Only trying to make a statement about Captain Calamari here and you step on it like he did with the Doc. Sheesh."

[Eien no Yorokobi]

At this point, Gikochinai finally took in her surroundings. ”U-um...I think I...came back at a...bad time...” Flames, blood, chemical spills, destroyed vehicles...the sight took its toll on her sanity. Once more, she felt echoes in her mind of scenes past.

A group of people, their skin decaying, screaming endlessly. A woman in a surgical mask grabbing a scalpel and carving a precise gash in the neck to end the sounds.

A pile of flaming corpses, burning in a blaze of purple, maniacal laughter echoing throughout the bloodstained chamber as each body was carved about.

She sat down once again, burying her head in the table until the sensation passed. ”Why does this...keep happening...here. Is it over, now? How many more times...”

Noel looked rather unironic in saying this and stood up.

Her voice wasn’t as loud as before when she spoke. ”What happened? Are you ok?”

May stopped crying as hard, and she acknowledged Giko. "You were right. I should never have killed Pieter. He was taken by death itself. He begged for absolution of his sins. Recognised them apologized. He tried to make it better before he went. I'm sorry to him that I couldn't see that. It took so long for me to see it, and the only time that I could was the last hour of his life. He's dead, and I wish he wasn't." She put her head down.

She remembered the broken people. Broken spirits, broken souls of Operation Saddleback. People were dead, in a mess of red blood and brains.

All the crying, screaming, death. She just wanted it to stop. It just kept happening. Again and again. One man before her. The man loved her. He was covered in blood. He violated her. She killed him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Squidward, I thought your biomechanical Borg ass would be too busy grovelling about people who haven't done anything to you to be hearing about what little, old, pointless me had to say." Jose said as Fernando tried to shush him.

"Please excuse my friend, he's had too much to drink." Fernando nervously laughed

"SUBMISSIVESAYSWHAT?"

Noel entered his bulked up form and clenched his fists. Of course, if Jose actually said 'what' or actually responded, he'd find Noel lunging at him and stopping just shy of his face and staring.

”It’s ok, May.” She was still working out what had exactly happened, but her main priority was making her friend, the one she loved, feel better. Her voice wasn’t as cheerful as usual, and that was a deliberate choice. Happy as she always tried to be, there was a point where it just made people feel worse. ”Sometimes bad things happen. And that’s sad! But we can always make things better! I know it probably hurts. But it will get better! We have to move on to make things better. It’s fine to be sad! But the important thing about that is that sadness exists for a reason! It’s there to help us appreciate things, so when our sadness ends, we can be happy again.” She gave May a hug, hoping she’d managed to help at least a bit.

Noel entered his bulked up form and clenched his fists. Of course, if Jose actually said 'what' or actually responded, he'd find Noel lunging at him and stopping just shy of his face and staring.

Jose blankly stared at his bulkiness for a moment with a bored look on his face before turning back to chat with Fernando.

"God damn, Jose, you've got balls." Fernando laughed.

"And he's got anger issues. Don't worry; he doesn't seem all that different from the Orcos we fought on Sistema Seis. I still remember the Vijk expedition like it was yesterday. Volley after volley, the orks came charging through with axes and other tools in hand in such waves; even artillery fire and arrow volleys couldn't deter them. I had managed to get away somewhat unscathed thanks to Volano auxillary forces coming in with shields and lightsabers and saving the day, then clearing up what was left of their numbers with pikes and finally finishing them off with a cavalry charge. Infact, on that day, I had earned a medal of honor for decapitating an ork with his falchion and saving a cavalry officer." Jose recalled, pulling out a magnetic medal. "Anyways, let's forget about him; he's not worth our time."

May reciprocated and took the hug. She didn't feel all that great, but st least Giko had stopped her from crying so much. Tears had dried from her eyes, and the memories of the past began to vanish. It was the least Giko could do, and she loved her all the more for it. "Thank you, Giko. It does hurt, but... I guess you're right. I've got to move on. Sadness comes on from time to time, and we do have to learn from it. We can't always, though. I didn't like him until today, but he apologized. Redeemed himself. He was a better person in the end." She asked for a beer.
