The Frostmourne clattered to the floor, its spirit quickly draining away. "Hah!" shouted Reg. He ran to pick it up, wanting to throw it out of the window to the deadly fire below.
"Don't pick that thing up," said ExTha.
"Oh yeah," Reg replied, approaching with caution. "Oh, I've got an idea."
Reg reached for a button that said "hatch open". He pressed it, and a hatch in the back of the cockpit opened - a trapdoor of sorts. Reg walked back over to near the Frostmourne and poked it with Excalibur, rather than himself wanting to drop it out of the nearby hatch.
This was a very, very stupid move.
"That was a very, very stupid thing to do," said the Frostmourne as soon as the two swords made contact.
The Frostmourne drained all of the Excalibur's power. All of it. In just a split second. Reg yelped in pain.
Reg withdrew the sword-arm quickly but the damage was done. "Doesn't matter," said Reg. "You're still useless without a host."
"True. Even now the power from that sword of yours is draining away. But -" the Frostmourne again lit a cigar - "it's enough for me to teleport out of this hellish reality to look for another one."
"NO!"
"YES! Maybe some other poor soul will pick me up...and believe me, you're the one I'll be looking for when that happens."
The Frostmourne was gone. It had disappeared instantly, leaving nothing but a trail of cigar smoke behind.
"Dammit," said Reg forlornly. At least they didn't have to worry about him for now, though. Reg went over to check ExTha.
"Thanks," he said.
"You're welcome," ExTha. "You did a good job up there..."
"My sword did all the work." Reg looked at it sadly - now it was merely sharp metal, weighing one side of him down. Nothing more. The Frostmourne had taken care of that.
"Not ALL of the work," said ExTha with a smile. "You didn't hear because you were in the supply room, but Minio took the saviour's name in vain. It's not quite bad as taking the lord's name in vain but it's pretty close, and it provided me with enough power to give your sword a little boost. It was a clutch situation, and my Tebow powers work better in clutch situations, so Excalibur was responded magnificently. I suppose the combined power was enough to match that thing."
"...I see."
"Now, we should get out of here," said ExTha. "I have a hole in my stomach I kind of want to get filled."
"hmm," said Reg. He pressed the same button, that, unbeknownst to him, Minio had pressed earlier - he one marked "leave the game to teleport out of this place and back to the normal world".
It didn't work.
Reg pressed it again.
It still didn't work.
"uhh...do we...have to kill each other? That doesn't seem right after all this..."
Next time: the absolute final chapter! (lol not really)
