Chapter Seventeen
Leigh turned to Boote and Holly.
"This is it." He stated. "Pete can't hold the portal open for long. After this, there is no turning back."
"We're with you all the way." Holly replied. "Besides, if you're right, and if we can save Cooper, then it's our duty to."
"A second thought never crossed my mind." Boote said. Leigh stared at the sword he had taken from the old attic. He lowered it inbetween the trio.
"All for one." He said with a smile.
"And one for all!" The other two cried.
"Very cute." Baird laughed, and the three span to face him. "But all the team spirit in the world can't help you now."
"Baird!" Holly spat. "You killed Cooper! You bastard!"
"Ha. Cooper had to die. He knew too much." Baird was repressing a smirk.
"Knew too much!? What could he know that was worth death!?" Leigh screamed.
"Funny you would shout that, Leigh." Baird took a step towards the trio, and they all sprang back. "After all, this all ties to you. It was your fault Cooper died."
"What!?" Leigh snapped, and the others readied their weapons, ignoring Baird's words.
The black void began to bleed with fire. It was turning into a background of flame, surrounding them.
"Ah. You see?" Baird motioned around. "Sam has nearly succeeded. I am a mere formality. One to make sure you die."
"You're going to kill all three of us?" Leigh smirked himself, confident they could win. He lifted his sword, and Boote did the same. Holly readied the crossbow she had taken from Josh's corpse. She wanted to take the shot, but had to wait. She had to find out what Baird had meant when he had blamed Leigh.
"Just you, Leigh." Baird stated. "Only you matter. Like I said, this all ties to you. It was your fault Cooper died."
"It was you who killed him!" Boote snapped, suddenly leaping forwards.
"I killed him, but Leigh was why." Leigh glanced uneasily at Baird. "You see, sixty years ago we almost succeeded. Sixty years ago we were moments from opening the portal and oblitering time itself. But we were stopped. One lone man stopped us. He left everything behind for one final crusade against us. One man felled an army, for he had destiny on his side. We were powerless to stop him." Baird was still smiling while telling this.
"What's that got to do with us?" Boote cried.
"His name." Baird smirked. "His name was Mr San Deigo."
"This is it." He stated. "Pete can't hold the portal open for long. After this, there is no turning back."
"We're with you all the way." Holly replied. "Besides, if you're right, and if we can save Cooper, then it's our duty to."
