Scene 6 - Final Fight (and bonus denouement)
-script under cut-
JERSEY
and AMINAH have escaped into the woods after fleeing the enormous
warehouse that Jersey was held captive in. After gathering intel,
they find that they are on a spot in BENJAMIN's vast estate. They
hear whispered rumors of where the rest of the cryptids are being
kept: inside a secret storage somewhere on the wealthy hunter's
property. They sneak around and look for clues everywhere on the
grounds until they find the secret entrance: a trapdoor. It leads
them deep down below the earth.
The
area is like a cellar, only much bigger. It is also protected by
guards as this is the last hiding place Benjamin could think of to
keep his catches in his hands, so they must move carefully. They
(controlled by the player) free all the trapped cryptids by picking
the locks to their cages. They are directed to the exits and escape
into the night one by one. After they free all the captives, Aminah
and Jersey themselves escape the prison.
Unfortunately
for them, Benjamin has caught wise to their scheme. It's too late
for him to recapture his lost prizes but he still has one more
opportunity: the Jersey Devil herself. He is full of barely
contained rage and he drives them both towards his mansion. By now
it is pouring rain and thunder is rolling towards them on the
horizon. Jersey's injured wing prevents her from flying away; the
most she can do is glide for a few seconds.
The
two dash inside the open back door and look around. They find a
window and try to smash it open to escape through but it is
unbreakable.
JERSEY
Where do we go now?!
Aminah
takes a few moments to think.
AMINAH
We have to find the entrance, it's
our only way out!
They
barely make it through the next room before they hear Ben burst
through the door, bellowing after them. He spots them and shoots
before they can bolt to safety. Players must guide them through each
adjoining room safely, avoiding both Ben and other butlers. Jersey
and Aminah get separated at a few points. One of the rooms players
are lead through is the trophy room, which turns out to be a dead
end. (Players will control Jersey here.) They must lead her around
the room without alerting Ben to her exact location, all while
listening to growled threats from Benjamin.
For
most of this encounter, he has been eerily silent. He is quickly
losing patience and is becoming more ruthless by the minute. At
some point, after leaving the trophy room and reuniting with Jersey,
Aminah gets hold of a phone and calls the police, begging for help.
Players continue through the house until they finally reach the front
door. Ben, however, has caught up to them. He has them cornered.
He takes his gun and aims it at them both. Aminah makes one last
desperate jump for the door.
She
throws it open to the torrential rain only to be blinded by
searchlights. The police have arrived! Aminah quickly grabs Jersey
and stuffs her into her backpack in the confusion. Benjamin is
arrested for attempted murder. Aminah answers questioning, plays
dumb and innocent, and is released. She (and by extension Jersey)
get a ride back to the city, where Aminah rents a room in a hotel.
Following
that, the two go back to the United States and Jersey returns to her
home. The two must part ways, as Aminah is out of money and must go
back home to report to her cryptid hunter group. The two promise to
stay in touch however they can, and Aminah promises to return.
-Denouement-
Some
of the last scenes of the game (likely showing while the credits are
rolling) are of Aminah making a (heavily edited) report of her
findings and making her group promise secrecy, Jersey patrolling her
forest and greeting her fellow cryptids, and even some very poorly
disguised cryptids risking a trip to the city to deliver a letter to
Aminah, who gets it and reads it in delight.
The
very final scene (played right after the credits) is Aminah walking
back to the forest several months after their adventure to see
Jersey. They meet and embrace.
JERSEY
I'm so glad you came!
AMINAH
I couldn't pass up an opportunity to
see my very good friend, could I?
They
step back, both looking determined.
AMINAH
Your last letter was a little vague.
Care to explain yourself in more detail?
JERSEY
I sure can! You ready for another
adventure?
AMINAH
Always!
They
walk into the forest as the camera falls back. The game ends.
