Day 14: Dies Finalis and Epilogue
Of the fourteen Beta Testers that were still alive, Hatmaster knew that it was soon that he would be found out. After the banning of Draconissa the previous day, he knew his time was up. He only had one final task.

Escape.

It had been his plan all along: kill, evade, escape. His plan was in it's final phase. The first part was the longest of course, it had taken him a while to kill off as many as he had.

Currently, though, he skulked through the streets after a final target that he could pin everything on. And there she was, the perfect candidate, the one who had seen Draconissa kill Turtle. Heavensdark.

Stalking her was the easy part, framing her was the harder one. He pulled out the rifle and carefully aimed one final shot.

Ready...

Steady...

BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!

In a flash, Heaven was gone. There was a look of horror on Hat's face, one of complete distraught.

"So, trying to take me out too, huh!" called a voice behind him.

There stood Heavensdark with a shiny gold coin in her hand stamped with the fancy G emblem.

"Hey, Sheena..." she said.

Out of nowhere, Sheena Ayame logged into the area as well with a shiny gold G Pin sticking to her jacket.

"Well! It seems we've finally caught you now, Hatmaster..." said Sheena with a smirk.

Shifting the gun towards them, he pulled a second shot, but to no avail. They had dodged the bullet, literally. Within seconds, Hatmaster's helmet glowed red and faded to black.

"Damned G-Team..."

With all of the killers banned from the new virtual world, the Admins set to work restoring the data corruption, restoring lost accounts, and unbanning the innocently accused. One by one, the dead were logging in again. The last, of course, to log in was [Moseley] himself.

Taking great pride in what the Beta Testers had accomplished and with most of the testing out of the way and everything reported, they all were ready for the final release of the project. Mose readied himself to make his announcement.

"Well, very well done. It's been a difficult run and I'm glad to see all of you safe once again. Unfortunately, I've received word from the higher powers that we're scarping this project. I know you're all disappointed, but after looking into things, they've decided to go in a different direction with the Virtual Project...

I guess I'll just have to look forward to seeing you all again in the Forums and in the Battle System, zOMG! Have fun, don't get in a lot of trouble, and stay golden!"

With that, players logged out one by one and the Admins began to shut off the servers...

Epilogue
Although the Admins believed they had shut down all of the servers, nobody really expects the Admins and Mods to do a full and complete job. One backup server was left on to retain all of the feedback they had compiled from the testing. There was a single, solitary red light that glowed from the server. Slowly, it turned a dark purple...
