I don’t have the Nightmare Cloak, or the sword. Flint appears next to me looking defeated. Answer looks at him and slowly his body starts to shift into an older looking Flint. Instead of black hair, he has gray all over. He smiles looking around the place. “So the gang's all here? Zack you won’t be able to defeat me even if you had my cloak and sword.” Flint looks at me.

“Don’t listen to him Zack. You can still beat him.” I glare at him and Flint.

“How is this possible? Aren’t you a form of him? How can he be here if you’re dead?” Flint frowns as Answer starts to laugh.

“An issue. Even though I have the mind and skills of Nightmare. I am not. I was stripped of my powers by some powerful beings. I jumped back, before my powers left me, to the one body in entire existence that was empty and here I am.” I frown looking at Flint.

“He can do that?” Flint shrugs as Answer walks to me.

“So I want you to leave. Go far away from here and I will you let live.” Answer punches Flint and Flint disappears. “No more talk of Nightmare. No more dealing with me. Everything will be right.” I frown slowly thinking it over.

“I want my brother back.” He smirks slightly.

“Good boy. Of course you can. He is..” He thinks for a moment as I try to think of a way to buy more time. “.. nearby in a cave.” He puts his hand out for me. “Shake my head and all of this will be over.” I slowly reach out for it. Come on think. Think. I pause getting an idea.

“.. Before I do, I have a question.” He pauses annoyed.

“What?”

“Why were you created? I met the guy who did and he like he didn’t need it.” He frowns as he goes back to his original form.

“Impossible. That shouldn’t be possible.” He grabs me lifting me up. “You couldn’t have met him.” I cough as he starts to squeeze my neck.

“Old guy was beyond pissed.. Guessing you were a failure..” He pauses dropping me. He shakes his head laughing to himself. He changes back to his old form.

“Oh you are an idiot Zack. That wasn’t who created me. You almost had me.” I frown standing up. I hear the motorcycle start to come back as he looks to it.

“Ahh.. So this was your plan? Buy enough time so you can get the cloak. It doesn't matter Zack if you have it or not. You won’t be able to beat me.” He smirks and forms a tendril from his hand. It stabs me through the gut and I feel blood fill my mouth. He removes the tendril. “At least I won’t have to go find it now.” He slowly walks to the motorcycle as Flint appears next me.

“Zack.. I’m sorry.” Blood pours out of my mouth as I look up to see Eyes getting thrown from the cycle. The cloak flies to the ground as Answer slowly picks it up. Eyes looks at me and then closes her eyes disappearing with Answer. Flint looks at me. “Crawl for the cloak!” I cough up more blood as my body starts to feel weaker. I slowly start to crawl to the fallen cloak. I stain the sand with blood as I make my way to it. All the people that died, the things I’ve done, everything can’t end like this. I get a finger touch away from the cloak as Answer appears with Eyes’s head in his hand. He throws it away.

“Such a pity. Could have been useful if she wasn’t so loyal.” He looks down at me laughing. I grab the cloak as he frowns. “You’re next!” I close my eyes and feel myself let go. I open my eyes seeing the Infection come out of the ocean. I look around confused. I look at Eyes who looks at it.

“Yes. That’s the main source of the Infection.” I look at Eyes. She looks at me confused. “Why are you looking at me weird?”

“I saw you.. wait.. I need you to go grab the cloak. Now Eyes.” she frowns confused and drives away. The Infection slowly walks to me as I take in everything. I did it. I used his powers. The Infection looks down at me.

“You’re different.” I nod slowly taking off the sword. I toss it in the sand as it looks at me.

“I know Cure is coming. You don’t have to bring out the Answer.” It pauses taking a step back.

“You know of the monster?” I nod as the Infection slowly goes to his little kid form. “I usually fight the monster but it won’t leave my father.” He frowns as I bend down on one knee. “You want to kill the monster?” I nod. He slowly nods. “I can make that happen. We need to fight.” The Infection turns back into the black tendriled monster and starts to fight with me. We go blow to blow just like I remember. He stops as he looks at behind me. “Father’s here.” Cure walks from the destruction he just caused and turns into Leonard.

“Son I’ve come home.” The Infection throws me over to my sword as it turns into his little kid form.

“Father. I’ve missed you.” Cure pauses surprised. He bends down to hug his son.

“I missed you too.” He hugs him. As before, black and white tendrils engulf them as the Answer forms.

“Zack. I..” He coughs and struggles as the black tendrils start to surround the entire body.

“End it now!” Infection’s voice rings out. I grab the sword and and peirce it through his chest.
