Fortuna wasn´t sure how it ended. They never saw it coming. She didn´t saw it coming. Her nigh unfailable path to victory had led to this. She eyed the incapacitated bodies of her coworkers, her body paralized. She was powerless as her body moved, speaking softly.
"Door to Vista."
Without pause, the little smiling demon came through as if it was fucking tuesday. She felt the grip, or whatever it was, on her lessened. She could move, if she wanted. Immediately she tried to determine a path forward, instinctively at this point. She knew she couldn´t-
Nothing came. Not an error, not any situation, only silence.
"Don´t worry, Fortuna." The little demon spoke with a cheerful tone. "Victory is currently with a friend of mine. You will be reunited soon."
She could try to shoot her, she could do it without the damn shard if she had to. But she needed to distract, so she asked "How ?"
"Such a big question, for a participant. How do I do this ? That is my secret. But I am willing to tell you how I achieved what I have achieved. See, you ? You were my cute servant for the last few years."
What ?
As Vista stepped over to Legend, placing her hand against his head with a slight purple glow, she replied in a musing tone. "Shortly after I acquired Jack, more specifically his shard… I found out about this whole shard business. And Broadcast has been of great help to me. He could help me get more of the shardbrearers than ever before. See, there is this thing called shardspace, where most shards are basically parked. Once I got access there, lots of fun. But that didn´t really help me with those that didn´t bear a shard. So, I decided I needed some help. Nobody can do what I can, naturally, I am the heroine after all, but every heroine has helpers that provide the proper set up, do they not ? So, I found Victory and decided to offer her an alternative… Same goal, other methods." The light vanished from Legend´s eyes.
Slowly, Fortuna began to understand what that little demon was implying.
"The assassination of the Gesellschaft Leader and the leadership of other such things. Nasty people, but easily fooled if one throws them into a panic. Especially the Nazis. Such an easy mark, simply because I am pale and blond. Well, at least they won´t have to worry about such things anymore." She approached Alexandria.
"The release of the Fairy Queen against the Blasphemies. That was delicious and threw Europe into chaos. Chaos indeed. That is what I wanted from you and what you delivered upon me." She giggled almost innocently. "The four are wonderful companions, by the way, so thanks!"
"No. The path was to survive Scion."
"And you will." She noted while placing the hand on Alexandria´s head.
"Everybody will be saved. Be it humans,parahumans, or shards. All shall find harmony." She moved over the Doctor Mother. "See,we are but children, playing with something we can´t understand, outside of the splendid gardens of heaven. I am just guiding us back." She placed her hand on the Doctor's head.
"So everything I did… every kill…"
"Was planned out by me and mine. You were just our tool." Vista briefly eyed the seat where normally Eidolon would rest if Contessa hadn´t inadvertedly directed him towards being consumed by the corrupted Fairy Queen.
For the first in decades, Fortuna, the same scared little girl as back then choked up, bile and revulsion rising in her throat, along with despair and an encroaching madness clawing at her thoughts.
A soft voice cleared the fog in her mind for a second, as it touched her tear streaked cheek, forcing her to look into the eyes of Vista.
Eyes of stars.
"Sweet Fortuna. You worked and fought hard. Rejoice, for your burden has been lifted. Embrace eternity with me, and it will be…"
Desperate, the needs of years suppressed and an ego shattered, she immediately agreed.
Sweet oblivion embraced her.
"...over."
"Door to Vista."
