>You leave the broken Fuzzy to whatever fate is in store for him and climb up the fire escape
>Once you reach the rooftops, you get a better look at the devastation
>What looked like a warzone from the streets looks like an extinction-level event from the roof
"Holy shit..."
>Fires have consumed entire city blocks
>Looters lay dead in the streets underneath the merchandise they were trying to steal
>Half-alive fluffies crawl through their own filth, desperate for attention and aid
>Even the military isn't attempting to fix the situation
>Now their job is just containment
"Alright...we've made it this far, Sunsplash. We can almost go home."
"Daddeh pwease huwwy...nu wike Cwevewand nu mowe..."
"Marcus...isn't your car still at Spaghetti Land?"
"Oh, hell, you're right..."
>You've got to escape the city on foot and get a bus or a plane back home
>You all begin walking along the rooftops
>After about 15 minutes, you can see a military checkpoint
"Uh...hello? Could you guys give us some help?"
>About 20 assault rifles point your way
"Woah, woah, woah...calm down, I just need some help."
"Stay there. You make any sudden moves, we're authorized to shoot. We'll come to you."
>You wait for them to set a ladder up and climb to your level
>The soldiers escort you off of the roof and into the street
>You're still at least a few blocks from the city limits, but now you're not alone
"If you're not a looter, why are you still here?"
"We escaped Spaghetti Land...and we found something BIG."
"If you're talking about the explosives, this little shit already told us."
>Anon steps out from behind the soldiers
"Sup, guys. Did I miss anything?"
"Anon, you crazy motherfucker I just told you to call people to warn about the bombs."
"Yeah...but I couldn't resist taking the little guy to Spaghetti Land."
>He's got Starsplash curled up in his arms, asleep
"Well, as you can see, things went to shit around here."
"Yeah, kinda noticed that when I got here."
"Are you two almost done jerking eachother off? Let's get the fuck out of here!"
>You and Anon both look at Jen
>She twiddles her thumbs and stutters a bit
"I mean...can we go please?"
>You convince a soldier to give you all a lift in a truck
"We're gonna have to go right by the park. From there, we can grab a boat and get you folks out of the city."
>Anon speaks up
"Wait...isn't the whole point of this truck to get AWAY from the park?"
"No-can-do. Main roads are off-limits. No one, not even military, in or out."
>You all sit in relative silence during the ride
>Occasionally, either you or Anon speaks up to reassure Sunsplash or Starsplash
>After 20 minutes of a very bumpy ride, the truck stops
"Shit..."
>You step out and see that you're just outside of Spaghetti Land
>The road's blocked by at least 10 abandoned cars, which are accompanied by hundreds of dead fluffies
"No way we're getting through here in a vehicle. Come on. If we hurry, it's just another 30 minutes on foot."
>Your group starts climbing the wreckage
>Starsplash suddenly speaks
"Daddeh, why bad fwuffies wuin efwyting?"
"Well, Star...they just-"
>He doesn't get any more out before a bright flash of light appears in the corner of your eye
>You're thrown against a car, and you black out
>When you wake up, you're greeted by the smell of smoke
"Ugh...what the hell...?"
>You look up to see Jen lying unconscious next to Anon
>He is on his knees, cradling a sobbing Starsplash and staring up at the remnants of Spaghetti Tower
"YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!"
>You shake your head and shake Jen awake
"Ow...my head..."
"You alright?"
"I...ugh...I think so."
>You check around and find Sunsplash lying on her side
"Daddeh! Nu can move weggie!"
>Her front left hoof's been cut by a piece of shrapnel
"It's alright, girl. Let me look."
>You tear one of your sleeves off and gently bandage the wound
>After you're finished with her, you check for your guide
>You find him about 20 feet from where you woke up
>His right arm's gone, and a metal rod is going through his chest
>You check his pulse
>Dead
"Fuck...guys, we gotta keep moving."
>You pick up Sunsplash and gingerly cradle her to your chest
>You stand up, and immediately find that a good portion of Cleveland has been reduced to a smouldering crater
>Fluffies run around in flames, screaming about "buwnies"
>Spaghetti Tower, all that remains of Spaghetti Land, is now nothing but a heap of burning metal
>You step down off of the cars and begin walking
