Final trial

[After everyone is done investigating/disabling an alien, they will hear a quiet click near the staircase. When they approach the staircase, they will find that there’s a whole new set of stairs, going even further down.

The stairs go deep down, and it takes while before there’s any end in sight, but eventually they reach door. Behind it is a large, completely gray room. If it weren’t for the massive table and strange podium sitting in the middle of the room, the guests would be instantly shocked by how empty it is otherwise. But the feeling of emptiness grows the longer they stay in the room.

The door closes behind them when they all enter the room. If they look, there is a similarly gray tv set sitting at the end of the table, right in front of the podium. Despite it’s age, there is a VHS player connected to it.

Well it sure is lucky you have a VHS tape on you, right?]

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze!"

[his sword drags along the ground.]

"THOU SHALT NOT KILL!"

[he turns to the chipmunk, hand shaking.]

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go!”

[moving his flying machine between Frollo and everyone else nbd. he's wracking his mind, fuck, fuck-]

"“Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.”!"

"And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them!"

[shooting a fireball at the tiny flying machine]

[we interrupt this sermon by attempting to dodge the fireball oshit oshit oshit oshit]

"L-Like a madman who throws Firebrands, arrows and death!"

"And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost!"

[fucking bring it, chipmunk.]

"And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light!" [STARING AT THOSE THINGS BESIDES FROLLO]

[...there's a pause.]

“T-this is what the Lord Almighty says... ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey!'"

[Is he...coming closer?]

"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies!"

Mister Judge, who told you that we're the bad ones!?

...oh my God.

[just. fucking collapses to his knees.]

[HOLY SHIT IS THIS WORKING. Um, UM-]

And-"Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity?"

[The fires start to rain down, just a little bit. Frollo stumbles to his feet and picks up his sword.]

...I...can't...

Yes you can! "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak!"!

I...I...

[He holds his sword at the ready to strike.]

"Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother."

[like lbr he's still kinda Ticked but he's gotta give you a chance]

...Have mercy on me.

[Frollo is a man being mentally torn apart by ten thousand voices, right now. The overwhelming voices of the shadows, the voices of Chip and Joshua, and his mind is not his own.

He turns the sword to himself.]
