Outside Rita’s. It’s now sunset. Bradley and Jennifer are standing together, holding soda cans.
‘’So, I guess you are gonna leave?’’ Bradley asks. Jennifer chuckles. ‘Sadly yes. You know the Enemies group. Always serious on deadlines.’’
Bradley sighs disappointed, ‘’Aw, man. I had fun with you. We both relate to each other.’’
Jennifer also looks disappointed, ‘’Yeah. I had an enjoyable time. But hey, I’m not going forever. I might come back…And when I do, you’ll love it.’’
Bradley smiles, a warm smile, ‘’Hope to see you again, someday.’’ He says softly. Jennifer smiles
‘’So, you’re not gonna kill me?’’ She asks. Bradley laughs, ‘’No, you are an amazing person. I wouldn’t want a diamond from you.’’
Jennifer blushes, ‘’Are you sure?’’ Bradley sips his soda can and looks at Jennifer, ‘’Look, Jennifer. I know this might be late. But I have something to tell you.’’
‘’What do you want to tell me?’’ She asks curious. Bradley clears his throat and hesitates. He then takes a deep sigh.
‘’I…. lo— ‘’
CLANG!
Bradley looks up curious. He then gasps, shocked. He finds Jennifer on the ground, Bradley pants heavily, he looks to the left and sees John who is holding the swords. Bradley can’t believe his eyes. He smacks his head, thinking it’s a dream, it’s real. He rubs his eyes, it’s real. He is seeing her from his bare eyes. He looks at John shocked and tearful.
‘’What did you just do?’’ Bradley asks angry. John twirls his sword, ‘’Boy, It ain’t me. I was ordered.’’
Bradley goes closer and shouts in John’s face, ‘’By who?!’’ John points at Steve who is standing from afar, his face unreadable. Bradley is shocked. He runs to Jennifer, shouting.
‘’No! Jennifer! No! Jennifer, please!’’ Suddenly she’s already a black large diamond, the diamond follows Steve as he gets it.
DIAMONDS: 4/7
NEW ACHIEVMENT!
UPGRADED ABILITES
UPGRADED GEARWEAR.
Bradley starts panting angrily and runs at Steve, slapping him. The sound is harsh and loud, ringing in his ears.
‘’Why did you do that?! She wasn’t evil, she was just misunderstood!’’ Bradley shouts, his voice chocked.
Steve looks at Bradley, patting him on the shoulders, ‘’She’s an Enemy, Bradley. If we don’t defeat them, we won’t earn the Diamonds of Egress and be free.’’
Bradley’s jaw clenched as he grips Steve on his shirt, ‘’You never changed! You’re still this stupid, frustrating, lonely piece of crap that will never respawn!’’
Bradley throws Steve on the road; he hits the ground harshly. Steve looks up, tears in his eyes, ‘’I understand what it feels like to have a deep connection with someone and then it gets taken away. I’m not doing this because I want to Bradley, I’m doing this because I need to.’’
Bradley stands firm, angry, ‘’What you did was unnecessary, she had troubles, Steve. Real troubles. She was the only one who understood me. And you took that away from me!’’
Bradley grabs Steve again and kicks him in the stomach, taking all his rage, he then punches him, making Steve fall on the ground, curling into a ball. Steve pops out, and stands up weak. Looking at Bradley. ‘Bradley, brother. She will respawn. They always respawn. You will find her, she’s not dead.’’
Bradley pants heavily with range, a single tear dropping from his eye, he then slaps Steve one last time, harsher.
‘’I don’t want to be your brother, anymore. I won’t want to be a brother with someone who’s a dick.’’ Bradley says, his voice low and dangerous.
Tiffany and Rita enter the scene, gasping at the sight of Steve and Bradley looking at each other in anger.
Steve speaks, angrily, ‘’Well, fine. You can leave. I don’t want to hurt you, Bradley. Jennifer was evil—
Bradley cuts him off, ‘’She was evil because of a deal she made you stupid asshole!’’
Steve pushes Bradley away, ‘’Honestly. I’ve tried to be a good person. I’ve tried to make people not hate me, but I defeated someone bad and now I’m a frustrating person again?!’’
Bradley grabs Steve by the tie, chocking and pulling him closer again, ‘’You will never change, Steve. You will never respawn and never grow, I think you must leave the gang, I’ll be the new leader.’’
Bradley pushes Steve and Steve stumbles back coughing, ‘’What are you talking about? We are closer to earning all of the Diamonds of Egress and I leave?!’’
On the monitors, Stan is watching, sipping coffee. He smirks widely as he turns to Sharon, who is filing her nails on bed.
‘’Sharon. The G.A.E 9 study group is now ranked Top 3 in the player list. They are actually close to getting the 7 diamonds.’’ Stan says, filled with smug joy.
Sharon laughs, ‘’Oh, this will be fun, babe.’’
Stan stares at the monitors and stands up, his face turning into static, ‘’You’ve proved yourself to the world, Steve. If you defeat the last two enemies, then…You will defeat me, the final boss.’’
Stan laughs evilly, the laugh increases. He turns on the volume on his TV, and the laugh echoes across the studio. The Female Stans share awkward looks behind.
Back with Steve, Bradley and him are still arguing.
‘’Steve, just leave. We haven’t accomplished anything with you. Look today, Tiffany and Rita defeated the Gossip Girls. Without you!’’ Bradley shouts at Steve.
Steve looks at Bradley, ‘’But I defeated— ‘’, Bradley interrupts him, ‘’John did it. And It was unnecessary! We as a group can continue without you, just go remain an NPC!’’
Steve angrily shouts at Bradley, ‘’I’m not an NPC!’’ Steve runs at Bradley put a purple energy stops them. Paul appears.
‘’We will settle this with a fight.’’ Paul says.
