Note: Reader's Discretion is advised. This is the finale of a six part story. If you haven't read the previous episodes, please do so now! Thank you!

Well folks, here I am. Walking like a hurricane. Prepared to write the hell out of this finale of my season 2 fan fiction! Before we begin, all I can say that it's been a remarkable journey for us all up until now. I'd like to congratulate all my followers for all their support in this story for such a long road that started over a year ago. For such hard work put into this fiction, I never imagined making such a big accomplishment before in my whole life. Never before have I lived up to achieving the impossible and making it this far with everyone. This final episode of my S2 fic will be my congratulating treat for everyone who has enjoyed this series up until now.

One more thing before we get started. I want to say that I actually of some ideas and plans to write a oneshot story, a spinoff story that links to this fiction, and not to mention...a season 3 fan fiction to LIS. A direct sequel to this fic which I believe shall conclude Max and Chloe's story as a trilogy. Even though Nathan Drake's story didn't end in a trilogy, Commander Shepard's story and Katniss Everdeen's story did. So why shouldn't Max Caulfield's? I know Dontnod already has a sequel set to release sometime next year or the following and that it might feature a superior cast and setting like GTA always does, but I alone and everyone else is entitled to their work of fiction and nothing Dontnod does will ever change that. Even so, season 3 will take time to develop and I shall continue to complete season 2 and a few other future endeavors of mine. I will try to post my oneshot and my anthology fic in the meanwhile sometime after or during the completion of this finale and before the premiere of season 3.

In the meantime, thanks for tuning in and enjoy the finale everybody! Which I call COD Time Ops *ahem*. Oh, for fucks sake. SMH. Which I call LIS Season 2 EP6 Frozen Forest. You all mean the world to me! I love you all so much! Piece out!

Previously on Life is Strange: After the Storm...

"My name is Maxine Emily Caulfield, and I shall tell everyone in this court to go fourth, do the right thing to prevent the wrong, and to bring the hope to the good people of Arcadia Bay. From this moment forward, we will tell ourselves, life is hard. Life is unfair. Life is strange."

"You can be mad at yourself all you like, but until you stop insulting yourself about what should've happened and stop lamenting on the past, everything you've done to keep Chloe alive would be in vain. She owes it to you to mean something. And you owe to her to mean something as well. It's that simple."

"May the good people of Arcadia Bay be obliged. Arcadia Bay is not a place of terrorism and tyranny. It is a place of piece and hospitality. All of that piece and hospitality has been diminished by not only the regime of the Prescotts and the brutality of Chrysalis, but by the two everyday heroes of Blackwell who were wronged by injustice of quantum terrorism."

"Him of all people. It was him? He's the son a of bitch who tried to take Max away!?"

"I knew it would only be a matter of time before you made it this far. You won't be alive long enough to expose what you've discovered."

"Ever since that first day in court, you reminded me of someone who could've killed me in the girls bathroom. In fact, your even worse than your son ever was."

"Whatever sad and sorry ass life you lived throughout the years from losing your Daddy in an accident to spending the next five years without Maxine Caulfield, is nothing compared to what my family has suffered for years!"

"Ms. Caulfield, on behalf of your innocence, you are hereby cleared from all charges against you. You will now be released from your detainment. This case has concluded."

"Max Caulfield, the people demand a commit of your gratitude," she says running up to me with he microphone. "How does it feel to be relieved from your crimes you've been wronged by?"

"You have no idea how it feels for me to be a free girl," I commit. "It's like the sweet smell of flowers and rainbows. That's how it feels."

Rachel picks up her glass and holds it up in front of her to make the toast.

"Here's to Max," she says holding her cup. "Our everyday hero. Drinks are on her. To Max."

"To Max," everyone says in unison holding their glass up, including me and Chloe.

"I never thanked you for coming back for me," says Chloe. "For coming back to Arcadia Bay when you were still alive."

"From the look of things, you moved on with your life with Max knowing I had died. I can't blame you for how you acted that day. Your sincerely welcome."

"You don't just come back for Chloe, Rachel," I say. "You came back for me. You chose to be there me and Chloe knowing that we were all in danger. And your the bravest person I've ever known to accomplish what I could never. Because of you, Chloe and I are together again."

"I know, Max," said Rachel. "Your a brave person yourself. The two of you are fighters just like me."

"Life is good knowing nothing can ever break you apart," said Chloe. "Even though a single tragedy can occur to you once in a lifetime, you'll always keep moving forward to find hope after a long struggle finding it. Just like what happened to Daddy. Just like what happened to Nathan. Hope is the only thing stronger than fear."

"What happened to William and Nathan," I say. "It'll never happen to any of us, Chloe. Not anymore. I'll always be your partner in crime."

"As long as your my partner in time."

"Tomorrow, we start over and never look back at our insulting profanity of a quantum crisis Arcadia Bay has periled for the past week since you've been gone," I reply. "From this day forward, this will be another week to remember. Just like that other week."

"You are correct, Chloe. This has become another week to remember. As memorable as our reunion week. That'll be the story of our lives."

"Tonight is the Quantic Solutions Expo at Chrysalis Headquarters where they'll be unveiling Project Elysium. This morning I've managed to discover a troubling truth about the project. For the past sixth months, I've been getting these visions of an incoming incident upon the horizon. After all these months of figuring out why, I finally have the answer."

"Max, as much as I deserved the truth about this storm thing and rewind power situation between you and Chloe," began David. "You're gonna need a better explanation than this."

"I swear on Joyce and Chloe's lives, David," said Max. "This is the best explanation your gonna get. My point being is that I'd like to be a hero for once and prevent another disaster worse than the tornado storm from happening. You don't have to believe on this one, but it's true. The major part of visions were one of a mythical time god named Chronos. Every time I see him, he tells me the end of time is coming. That I cannot deny. If Rachel, Chloe, and I can believe it, you all owe it to us to believe it as well."

"Say I do believe you, Max," said David. "What exactly is going to happen if none of us don't?"

"Then the world is going to come to an end is what's going to happen," said Max.

"What is it that you want from us, Max?" asked Warren. "I've got better shit to do than stick my nose into your nonsense. Especially after almost getting myself killed in some bunker built for WWIII."

"Rachel and I have arranged some jobs for everyone to do here. We call it, the Chrysalis Job or Heist or whatever. It's a heist we've planned for us to do to prevent the time fracture from happening."

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a special night tonight here at Chrysalis. Without further or do, I announce to you all, Project Elysium."

"God help us, Chloe," said Max. "This - this is all in two days. This Thursday. I should've foreseen this! This nothing like Arcadia Bay. They're gonna attack every city on the coast to all over the world! We have to warn someone!"

"Max, I would rewind or something if I were you!" snapped Chloe. "Do something!"

"Five seconds, Max!" thundered Ranikov. "Now!"

"No! Stop!" I holler.

I stand up revealing myself out of the crowd. Before Alyssa could bite the dust. Then Ranikov pushes her off the stage and aims his pistol in my direction.

"Open fire!" he shouts

I instantaneously shield ourselves from the bullets with my time shield. Protecting Chloe, David, Joyce, and Kris from the bullets.

Suddenly, a van rapidly backed out behind us. We both gasp while the other vehicle rushed it's was out of the lot blocking our path. We were now trapped between two vehicles. Then suddenly, goons with mask hop out of the sliding door from the van, seize us by the arms, and cover our mouths with white toxic rags. I struggle and whimper though an awfully sweet smell on the rag. Chloe does the same.

The goons in the van restrain our wrists together with duct tape while we lye down next them unconscious from the chloroform they dosed us with. The van approaches the outpost located in the Tillamook forest. The mercs toss us out of the van like a bunch of Barbie dolls and we fall on the ground unconscious with our hands tapped together.

Derrick Crosby was the man. The criminal master mind of my setup. The maniac behind the fracture in time. The man behind our snitch and abduction. And now the man ready to set the world on fire and bring about the end of time as we knew it. Prepared to destroy the world. That...he was doing.

Chapter 1 Better To Reign In Hell

Max

April 23, 2014

10:28 PM

Portland, Oregon

Downtown Portland

Darkness. Dusk. Iniquity. Devilry. Deference for darkness fell across the outskirts of Portland. A city in peril by the skirmishes of Neo-Chrysalis and the Fallen minions of Elysium. The attack on Portland had initiated over eleven hours ago when the Chrysalis tower triggered a portal in the sky releasing the impious hells of Elysium. Unleashing the Fallen to invade Portland and the entire globe bringing about the fracture in time itself.

I alone have fought for my life battling through skirmishes of Neo-Chrysalis and supernatural Fallen spirits. After eleven hours of a full-scale warzone, nearly of half the population of the city had been evacuated by Chrysalis units. Leaving the entirety of Portland deserted from it's turmoil.

This quantum warfare that had struck the city had not been pleasant. Fires from explosions lit up buildings like Christmas chimneys. Cars and public transports had been rendered derelict in the crossfire. What Hollywood calls a city destruction cliche. Many more people have been loss to this attack. Way more than Arcadia Bay. It had been just as I always feared since my visions in Seattle. What Chloe and I uncovered with the Chrysalis time broker. What Chronos had been warning me about for months now since day zero.

I remember watching Transformers Dark of the Moon where all the Autobots and Decepticons bombastically fight each other hand-to-hand through loud firefights and explosions during an epic final battle in Chicago. I remember seeing the Avengers movie where all the superheroes battle Loki's forces in New York. So far I felt like being in a city disaster film done by Michael Bay or Marvel Studios.

Chloe, Rachel, Frank, David, Captain Cage and his men, and I fought through slums, alley's, and deserted buildings just to fight our way to the Chrysalis tower to stop Crosby's time fracture bring about the end of the world. As of right now, it was just the two of us on our own. Completely separated from other Chrysalis forces defending Portland.

As Chloe and I patrol the deserted streets of Portland, an explosion from a gas tanker ignited out of nowhere and pushed the two of us in midair knocking us down on a car. Rendering the two of us outcold.

I lye down on the street unconscious. I slowly start to peel my eyelids open. Waking up to a rather rude awakening. I see my gloved hand resting on the asphalt. A scarlet blaze from the explosion that made us pass out from the shock. Dark shadow-like figures swarming our presence. A horde of Fallen no doubt. Then I see bullets flickering on the asphalt cutting down the pack of Fallen standing in our way. I had to assume it was friendly fire.

I see my pistol on the ground in front me. Lying next to my hand. I pick up my gun and slowly but quickly get back up on my feet. The bullet fire had come from a small chopper hovering in front of us that had been sweeping the floor for us. Spraying down the pack of Fallen after us. A spotlight could be seen on the chopper shinning down on us. I block the light with my left hind so it doesn't blind me. Then I see Chloe lying down next to me. Still passed out from the shock. I also see Chloe with a wound on her hip. She must've have been cut with something really sharp when she had been pushed away by the explosion. Enough for her to bleed out while still undergoing unconsciousness. I wasn't losing Chloe again. Not tonight. Not this day. Not ever.

I immediately grab hold of Chloe, bleeding out and passed out, dragging her unconscious body with my might down to the alley off the street with walking Fallen. Once we're in the alleyway, safe from the raining bullets and swarming Fallen, the chopper flies it's way in the direction of the alley we hide in and shines it's spotlight in front of us. I aim my pistol at the helicopter shining it's light ray on us while I carry Chloe with my bear arm. The chopper doesn't shoot at us and attack us. Confirming the air vehicle as friendly. Then the chopper flies away from us. No longing overlooking me and my weary girlfriend with it's light ray. Leaving us on our own the rest of the way. I guess I should thank our air support for holding off the Fallen for us. I owe them.

I put Chloe down off my shoulder before proceeding into the alley. I had to fix her wound before she bleed out and died again. I remembered my healing power I could use with my chronon energy. I set Chloe down on a dumpster in the alley to check her wound. She had been cut badly and I had to stop the bleeding. I take my hand and gently press it onto Chloe's wound. Absorbing the chronon energy into it to heal her wound. My healing power dissolves the wound and makes the bleeding disappear. Making Chloe healthy, but still in shock from the blast and her injury I had just healed. I cup my hand on Chloe face and check for a heartbeat. Her vitals are normal again, but still passed out.

"C'mon, it's not over yet," I say to her. "Hang in there, Chloe. We'll get through this."

I pick my partner up again, carrying her arm around my neck shoulders, and proceed into the dark alley. Cutting through the Portland slums.

Didn't we already do this before? Back in Arcadia Bay during the storm? When Chloe had carried me unconscious up to that lighthouse? Talk about deja vu. I'm now carrying Chloe unconscious through the slums in this city now. Hoping to find the easy way to the Chrysalis tower where Crosby is still at large of taking over the world. And we're still clicks behind from saving the world.

I see door to a building we could enter through. However, it was boarded shut. A boarded door wasn't going to prevent us from stopping Crosby. We weren't getting off that easy. After all that we've been through, it would be a waste to give up now. There was a metal pipe next to the door I could use to break the boards open. I held Chloe tightly, picked up the pipe, and slid it under the boards to break them open. I heave with my pipe and the board begin to snap. I have the pipe a couple more time until the wood is broken. Once the wood breaks in half, we were free to enter the building.

When proceeding inside, Chloe gets heavier and heavier carrying her by the arm around my neck and shoulders. Either that blast knocked her out good, or she was killed by it. Not on my watch. Not by a longshot. Chloe's a survivor. A fighter just like me. Just like Rachel. You know who.

I hear the propeller of a helicopter from outside. That chopper must be coming around again to search inside. I can see a light ray from a spotlight shin across a corner in the building. I wasn't going to take any chances of it being a friendly chopper incase it wasn't the same that shot down the pack of Fallen. So I hid the two of us behind the corner until the chopper departed from our presence. And so it did. Then I stepped ourselves out of cover and continued our way over.

"Let's try this way," I said. "We're almost through this."

I could see bodies of locals and a Chrysalis soldier by the window the spotlight had peeked through. Either Neo-Chrysalis or Fallen must of disposed of them. Though it was horrific to walk by, I had no incentive or time in mourning what I'd seen. We needed to reach that tower. The world is ending in less than an hour in a half. We had to be out of the slums fast.

Once we made our exit out of the small building, I can hear Chloe moan next to me. She was waking up. I set her down by a corner in another alley where we had just made our exit to out of the building. When I place her down against that as she wakes up, I crouch down beside her to check up on her.

"Chloe? Chloe can you hear me? Say something."

"Mm, Max? What happened? I must've passed out."

"We're even now. Don't ever do that to me again okay?"

"Max, I- I saw him again. I saw my Dad again. I must've been dreaming. He was there in Elysium. I haven't seen his face again in so long."

"Doesn't matter. Let's take a break. You were cut when you were out. I was able to stop the bleeding with my power, but your wound might reopen. I'm gonna find some meds to make sure it doesn't."

There was a military Chrysalis truck parked in the alley. I decide to look inside the vehicle for med supplies to sustain Chloe's wound.

"There's got to be a first aid kit in here somewhere," I say.

When peaking through the windows of the military vehicle, I see two dead soldiers rotting in the driver seat and passenger seat. This truck must've crashed. The cause of the crash most likely would've came from the fighting that occurred.

"Makes me sick seeing good soldiers die like this," I said.

I see a pack of gauze or whatnot lying around in the passenger seat. The doors were locked. So I broke the window open, reached for the gauze, and returned to Chloe with med supply she needed.

"Max, are you there?" asked Rachel on comms.

"Rachel, I'm here," I respond.

"Good to hear your okay. Where's Chloe?"

"She's not doing to good. She needs medical attention."

"Shit. Do you have a med kit with you?"

"I do, but I'm not sure it will help."

I patch Chloe up with the gauze to prevent her wound from reopening. I get under her skin and wrap the gauze around her waste to attend to her injuries. With my partner fully conscious and healed, it was time to move forward.

"Too many good people have died here today," I said. "You're not getting added to that list."

"Max...", murmured Chloe. Then gasped staring at something from behind.

I turn around to see a dark figure in military uniform in gear. No doubt it was a Fallen dressed in tactical Chrysalis ware. The Fallen demon sparked into a black conflagration and inferno red eyes. The Fallen had approached me slowly. Growling and walking slowly my direction like a zombie. I aim my gun at the demon, but my clip is empty. The Fallen seizes hold of me I try fighting against it. I struggle against the demons will hand in hand. Then I fall on my back with the demon pinning me down on the ground.

The malevolent demon attempts to bite me like angry wolf and I grunt back at it. Using my bare hands to struggle against the biting by my hands real hard to push against the jaw and face. And then, I finish the demon off by pulling knife out of it's sheath and stabbing it through the forehead. Then the demon imploded into oblivion like Dracula. Barely winning against the struggle. I got back on my feet to help Chloe get back on her feet. We still had a long road ahead of us to the Chrysalis tower. I'd be damned if just one lousy Fallen demon dropped me before I get ever ten city blocks to the wormhole.

"Can't let you guard down for a second," I said to Chloe. "How do you feel?"

"I think I'm gonna be okay," she said. "Thank you."

"Max, what are you doing?" asked Rachel. "You need to get out of there now."

"We're headed to evac point where our chopper is waiting for us. That's how we'll get to the Chrysalis tower quicker."

"Alright, then let us help. David and I will direct you to the safest route."

"Thanks, Rachel. Max out."

I grab an extra clip out of my ammo pouch and reload my pistol. I help Chloe get up on her feet so together we could get to the chopper. As the Schwarzeneger says. With Chloe healthy and all patched up, I no longer needed out haul her ass over my shoulders. Time was running out and we need to stop that portal in the sky. Not if we could help it.

"I've sent the field guide to your PDA," said Rachel. "You can always refer to that in a pinch."

I check my GPS device on my PDA and we were only two clicks behind our nav point. Where the chopper would be extracting us for exfil. With no time to loose, we make a break for it and find a way out of the alley. We had to cut through another building down a small hallway that appeared to be a fire escape. Once we're out of the building, we walk through a door to a balcony that take us to no place but one where it was better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven.

The route we took had taken us to a freeway packed with totaled cars and ravaging Fallen on a rampage. The freeway and the building between it were set of fire. The sky lighting up with fiery stars that summon Fallen to the surface. The Chrysalis tower was now just ahead of us. Towering everything else from above. We could see smoke coming out of the tower from when Neo-Chrysalis attacked. As well as the big portal streaming in the sky above the building. Like the Gozer tower from Ghostbusters. Until now, this was all turning out to be a Hollywood disaster film like Roland Emmerich's Independence Day or Michael Bay's Armageddon. This had not been the most likely safest route as Rachel mentioned, but it wasn't as if we had another choice.

Without any other option, we hop off the balcony and into the decimated freeway. Having run out of options, we knew we had to fend for ourselves against the invading Fallen. We fight them off via guns and fist. Some we shoot off with our pistols, others we fight hand to hand. A few of the demons try picking off from crawling under the cars and seizing us by the leg, others are clear targets that roam around the condemned traffic. A majority of the shadow demons come out of the woodwork on the damaged freeway. Nothing Super Max and Wonder Chlo couldn't handle.

"Max, look!" shouted Chloe.

All of a sudden, a Chrysalis jet fighter that had crash landed onto a building by the freeway was now falling off the building and collapsed onto the freeway. Landing on a gasoline tanking. Causing a chunk of the freeway to crumble down below and the tank to spill gallons of flammable fuel. It would combust into an explosion in any minute now.

"Run!" I shout.

In a matter of seconds, the explosive and combustible gasoline set on fire and started a chain reaction of a mass explosion. The effect of the explosion had caused cars to spring in the air and vault onto other cars. The two of us run to safety away from the charging explosion that had been destroying the freeway we ran on. While running for our lives, the chopper had arrived in the nick of time. Ready for extraction to pick us up off the exploding freeway. We must already be at the evac point.

The helicopter hovers over a row of cars to pick us up. A Chrysalis soldier hop out to hold some Fallen off our tail that had been chasing us on the exploding freeway. The soldier stood on a delivery truck with his rifle aimed at the Fallen and bullets picking off the demons. Chloe and I raced to the chopper and hopped onto some vehicles to get to it. We run on top of the cars and to the chopper as fast as we could.

"Over here! Get in!" the soldier shouted as we raced for the chopper.

Chloe was ahead of me. She had been a faster runner than I ever was.

"Go now!" I shout to her. "Get to the chopper!"

I can't believe I just quoted a movie while running away from explosion. Guess cool guys really don't look at explosions. Like Andy Samberg says. Like Denzel Washington in Man on Fire. Eventually we reach the chopper, but the soldier doesn't come on board with us and tells us to leave him behind. Chloe hops onto the chopper with ease. I however grab hold of chopper's landing gear as I jump off a truck and the helicopter takes flight again. I hang on as tight as I could. Then I realize a Fallen demon had latched onto me and was now hanging on by my leg. I kick the demon off of me and it fall down into the massive fire from the explosion. Where the soldier that helped us get on had been killed as well.

Chloe helps me get up inside the chopper as it departs from the destroyed freeway. We were now safe inside and on our way to the tower. We both catch our breaths and give the pilot and nod to let him know we're okay. He nods back. Then suddenly, something had hit the tail of the helicopter. Knocking us down as we both felt the thud of whatever hit us. It had been the rocket of an RPG fire from a Fallen. We had been shot down. The pilot was knocked outcold. The helicopter had lost control. We were going down and about to crash.

I race over to the cockpit and take the controls in order to keep the chopper airborne. What did I know about flying helicopters? Where's David when you need him? This is something for him to control, not me. All I could do is pull the throttle on the control to stabilize our altitude.

"Damn it! I can't bring her up!" I shout. "Come on!"

"Pull up!" Chloe shouts back.

"I'm trying!"

As I struggle to maintain our altitude, we hit a few signs and ads on buildings with the propeller. At least we don't crush ourselves into the building themselves and get ourselves killed.

"C'mon! C'mon!" I shout. "Pull up!"

Without bumping into anymore buildings, I fly ourselves higher up above away from the lower buildings so we don't crash into anymore. Despite the helicopter tail being shot off by the RPG rocket, I could at least fly ourselves closer to the Chrysalis tower until we crash land somewhere and survive somehow. With our tail on fire though, it would be so much more easier told than done.

"This thing isn't going to hold much longer," said Chloe, hanging onto the cockpit seats.

"Just a few more blocks," I said.

Little did we know that another Fallen had latched itself on board before we took off. The demon had been hanging onto the landing the entire time and was now climbing it's way inside the chopper. Once it was inside, it grabbed hold of Chloe and tossed her down on her hip. Chloe was in trouble. She was now struggling against the shadow minion and I had to help her.

"Chloe!" I shout.

I grab my gun and turn my head around save Chloe for the thousandth time while piloting the chopper. It was difficult to aim while piloting since the chopper was shaking a bit. Giving my air sick while flying and aiming at the same time. Eventually I shot the demon off of Chloe and she's free. The demon imploded itself away from Chloe and I had to get back to flying.

That was when I had just noticed I was about to crash into a skyscraper in front of me. I quickly turn the throttle to steer the chopper away from the building. Even then, I had flown ourselves above a train bridge where a city train was now about to run us over. I turn the chopper on the other side of the tracks only to scrap through the side of the train with our helicopter as it passed. This was the second time I barely save ourselves from a train since the first one back on the Arcadia railroad.

Once we flew off the tracks, I had lost complete control of the chopper and we were now about to crash straight into the Chrysalis tower. The chopper crashed it's way through the glass windows and through the offices inside the building. The helicopter was now being into a broken wreak with shattered glass, a broken propeller, and a tail on fire. The chopper skid it's way through the rooms and eventually crashed onto a ad board in the center of the building.

The derelict chopper was now tipping over the side of the electronic board. Chloe and I had to get out of here before we got ourselves killed in this wreck. We instantly jump out of the chopper and grab onto an electrical wire hanging out of the wall from the impact. We both hang on tight onto the wire as we see the chopper go down and hit the bottom floor. Then the ad board was about to go down with it. The wire we held onto was attached to the big ad and now we were about to go down with it.

The two of us both fall down on the ground as the wire snaps off and we both land on our backs real hard as the giant electrical sign collapses with us and our chopper that was now DOA. Landing on a fall like that hurt like hell. It was excruciatingly painful. We had almost broken our spines apart. At least now our crazy ass crash landing was over I've got to say, it had been the craziest and most longest crash landing ever.

We slowly get up off the ground with our backs aching. I grunt my teeth as I try fighting off the pain. Chloe does the similar. Then I realize we had crash landed into the lobby of the Chrysalis HQ. Indubitably so.

"You alright?" I ask Chloe.

"No," she answers. "And neither are you."

"Well, we made it Chloe. We're at Chrysalis HQ. Time to end this."

As I'm back on my legs, I take Chloe's hand to help her up. On we're both off the floor, we grab our guns and check our surroundings. We knew Crosby would be at the very top of the tower and that's where we had to go to stop him.

"Something doesn't feel right," said Chloe.

Suddenly, a loud thump was heard very close to us. We draw our guns towards where the sound came in front of us and it is no one but a man in a heavy mech suit ready to attack us and finish us. And I bet you know who it was.

"Back for more?" I say.

Note: So how is that for the start of an epic finale, huh? As you may already tell, I have written this first chapter as a prologue chapter where the exposition begins within the rising action. Then you flash back to where it truly began up until how it all opened. For example, how Uncharted 2 starts with the train wreck scene that opened with the rising action or how Uncharted 4 does the same formula with Nate and Same driving the boat through a storm and fighting off some Shoreline on their way to Libertalia.

In this instance, my prelude chapter to this episode is a reference to Resident Evil 6's prelude chapter where Leon and Helena are in a helicopter crash. Of course, that game never had the best prologue, but even so, I found it to be a good enough reference for a strong opening to episode 6 anyhow. Chapter 2 will pick up back to episode 5's cliffhanger where Max and Chloe were kidnapped. Things are gonna get greasier and greasier through this whole episode. This finale shall be the best episode yet! Much faster paced and no more filler that I hate writing.

I've spent over a year writing this fan fiction project and it has indeed been worth my time and effort. Well worth my while. This adventure of ours isn't over yet. Frozen Forest will be my most ambitious chapter of my fiction yet. I hope everything I've been setting up until has indubitably paid off. Enjoy it all while you still can.

Until next time, stay golden!

P.S. Prepare yourselves for another daring twist in the next chapter. Even a lot more interesting than my Crosby twist.
