"Oh. Deleting TenderGoodbye.EXE" said Queen. She had just finished attempting to fight everyone, to capture them and force Noelle Holiday to create more fountains for her plan. However it was all thwarted thanks to a story from the Dark Prince Ralsei.
Atleast, that's how everyone here remembers it... No one but two people really knows what just happened. That Troppus, the Vessel for the Angel, had attempted to kill everyone via self destruct that they had put inside the Queen's robot while they were performing maintenance. No one else knows that Troppus had tried to make a Dark Fountain, that Troppus had KILLED Spamton...
No one, but Troppus and the Angel knew. Troppus laid inside the Giga Queen with visor opened, and the Angel lay in Kris.
Why... why can't I just get Dad back? I've tried so hard! I even worked with that dumb Addison! He couldn't help but just kill Blue! AAAAGH!
Normally this child would have admitted defeat, becoming discouraged... and willingly hand over their device. However, this time they came to a realization.
Kill... If it wasn't for Dad undoing it, everyone might have died... Susie would have... Birdly might have...I... I... What am I doing?! I... my purpose was to help bring this world kindness, but I have just been doing as the world has, and have been trying to be cruel. I... have betrayed Dad's intent... I...
The child named Kris, under the power of the Angel, has walked over to Troppus and extended their hand, in demand of their device used to detonate the Giga Queen. They did not expect for Troppus to look up, and even without a face they can tell there was great remorse welling up. They type on their device, and it reads aloud. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I have committed the greatest sins I possibly could have... I... I need to repent. I'm sorry..."
Confused the Angel lowers their hand and tries to understand what they are talking about. Suddenly the gray child pushes Kris, and runs back, slamming their hand onto the "Close" button, shutting the visor.
"Troppus! What are you doing?"
"Huh? What's up Kris?"
"Troppus just shoved me and closed the visor!"
Suddenly the massive robot began to shift, ot turned around and began to walk away. "THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TROPPUS?" Susie shouts after them. Troppus does not respond, they have limited time due to the drained battery from their fight against the heroes and their thrash mech. They spend all that time walking as far as they can. Once the robot is at 2% they stop and turn around.
All the Lightners along with Queen stand wondering what Troppus had planned. They did not expect the robot to begin speaking.
"I, Troppus, have committed several great sins, and must repent. Before I repent, I shall tell you all what I have done. First, I had sought to kill the one known as Kris numerous times in an attempt to reclaim my Dad who is acting as their SOUL, regardless of the death it would cause.
Second, I had recruited the help of an Addison named Spamton. I helped him enter the basement of the castle where a great machine lay dormant, I assisted him in being able to make the machine work. However, repeated failure led to Spamton betraying me, he attempted to kill me. So I had used my device to initiate a self destruct I had installed in him. Then I had faked the members of the Castle to clean his remains after he had blown up.
Third, my greatest sin... I had forgotten my true purpose of being a vessel, I had twisted the idea that my Dad had instilled in me, becoming cruel, becoming violent... for this sin alone I deserve punishment.
Fourth, I attempted to start the Roaring before discovering that it was impossible for me.
My final sin, and the one I shall use to rectify myself. I had also installed a self destruct into this robot, and previously used it to kill ALL the Lightners once my fourth sin was discovered. Dad, I am sorry that you had to bear witness to the abomination that your creation has become. Let my death be the final sin I commit. I am sorry everyone."
Susie screams, "TROPPUS! NOOO!"
The Queen cannot comprehend what they heard. Almost none of the other Lightners could either. The one they had traveled with, the one they fought against, the one they had fought with, they are admitting to murder and covering it up? What do they mean that they had blown everyone up?
The only one who knew, was one who could not speak. One who had no control. But they hurt. Kris can tell, there is great sorrow.
But, there is naught anyone can do, they must sit, and watch, the grandest display of a suicide ever made.
Troppus, satisfied with their speech, silently push the self destruct button. With it, there was an echoing "Ohohohooooo" before Troppus, along with the sky line, was no more.
All that remained of the vessel, is a deafening explosion, one with such force it nearly blew everyone off the small bridge they were on with only the wind pressure...
Oh, my dear little Vessel
I had warned you of this world
Yet you did not falter to find your creator.
That kindness of yours...
Was your greatest strength
Yet your greatest weakness.
So comes, the end of Troppus.
