And now, begins the FINAL chapter of TR! It's really powerful, I hope you enjoy it.

 "Reeve, are you okay?" Nate asked. Reeve barely managed to utter a few words.

 "Yes, just a little woozy. Nate, listen to me. In my office, there is a secret door that will bring you to my express jet. Get to it. Bring me and Ramza with you." Nate nodded, and got them both. He set Reeve on the rolling chair, and put Ramza on his back. He went over to where Reeve pointed, and found the hollow spot. He kicked the door open, and welcomed himself to a dank passage, with dripping water in the background. He rolled Reeve forward, and held Ramza firmly on his back. He followed the passage, and came to another door. Nate opened it, and saw the Junon airstrip. He saw a small passenger plane, which he presumed to be Reeve's. He ran towards it, wheeling Reeve and holding Ramza. He got to it, and stopped. He took Reeve in his other arm, and ran up the steps to it. He opened the door, and got in. Not very spacious. He put Ramza and Reeve in seats.

 "Hey, I don't know how to fly a plane!" Nate suddenly had a blank look. Maybe the pilot was in the cabin. He opened the cabin door, and found a person, who is presumably a pilot. "Hey! Get us outta here!" The pilot turned towards Nate.

 "Huh? I only take orders from Mr. Aranon," The pilot said.

 "Reeve is here, and he's hurt! We need to get to Rocket City immediately!" The pilot nodded, and took off. Nate went back into the cabin, and saw Reeve recovering, but not Ramza. She suddenly began speaking nonsense words softly.

 "Those Jenova radiation waves must have made her delusional! We
have to get her to a doctor!"

 "/Hello, is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me, is there anyone at home?/"

 Ramza saw Nate's lips moving. She saw him shaking her. She saw the images separate, then become one again. Her mouth started saying nonsense words, not able to hear herself. She was trapped inside the wall the Jenova radiation made, in perfect isolation from the world.

 "/Come on, come on now, I hear you're feeling down. I can ease your pain, get you on your feet again./"

 She saw Nate walk over to Reeve and check on him. He looked like he was recovering. Reeve stood up, and walked about. He walked over to Ramza, and asked her a question, but she did not hear him.

 "/Relax, I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts, just show me where it hurts./"

 Ramza only heard one part, and that was if Reeve asked where it hurts. For some reason, she felt her lips moving, making sounds she did not hear.

 "/There is no pain, you are receding... A distant ship's moke on the horizon... You are only coming through in waves... your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying.../"

 Reeve and Nate were now dumbfounded by these words. Reeve began fumbling around for the medical supplies, while Nate sat and watched Ramza.

 "/When I was a child, I had a fever... My hands felt just like two balloons... now I've got that feeling once again, I can't explain, you'd not understand, this is not how I am. I Have become... Comfortably Numb.../"

 Reeve found the box of medical supplies, and took out a hypodermic needle, and a vial of medicine. He loaded the medicine vial into the needle, and prepared it for injection. He rubbed Ramza's arm with an alcohol pad.

 "/O.K., O.K., O.K., just a little pinprick. There'll be no more.../"

 "/AAAAAAHHHHH!!!/"

 "/...but you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep ya going through the show, come on it's time to go./"

 They had gotten Ramza to stand up, but she soon fell down again. The plane was reaching Rocket City, an announcement from the pilot. Ramza started talking again.

 "/There is no pain, you are receding... A distant ship's smoke on the horizon... you are only coming through in waves... your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying... When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye... I turned to look, but it was gone, I cannot put my finger on it now. The child is grown, the dream is lost... I have become Comfortably Numb.../"

 The plane landed at Rocket City's airport. Reeve and Nate took Ramza by the arms, and carried her out of the plane. Her head was rolling around. She was speaking nonsense again, and started gurgling. They managed to get Ramza to Cid's house, where the rest of the group was. Reno was overly concerned, and got to her side immediately. They set her down on the bed in the guest room. Reno pulled up a chair, and sat next to her. He put a hand on her forehead. She had a fever. They got a wet towel, and set it on her forehead. Reno picked up her hand, and put his head down. She started speaking nonsense again, but it had a little more form to it. It sounded like she was saying "worm."

 "/Ooh, you cannot reach me now... no matter how you try. Goodbye, cruel world, It's over. Walk on by./"

 Ramza saw herself in an expansive stadium. She saw herself in a white suit, much like Rufus Shinra's. She had a shotgun strapped to her back, and her lightsaber extended in her left hand. There was a giant wall outside of the stadium that reached to high heights.

 "/Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall... Waiting for the worms to come./"

 Ramza rotated, and saw rows upon rows of black gripped hammers with red shafts standing in columns and rows. Suddenly, they started to march. Perfectly in time. Electric guitar started playing a familiar chord in the background. She walked over, and saw a house appear before her. She took her lightsaber.

 "/In perfect isolation here behind my wall. Waiting for the worms./"

 The guitar became loud. The hammers marched around her. Rows and rows of people wearing identical masks came out, marching one by one.

 "/Waiting. To cut up the deadwood. Waiting. To clean up the city. Waiting. To follow the worms./"

 Ramza walked over to the marching people, and started slicing their heads off one by one. They dropped to the floor, one by one. Ramza laughed. Her eyes shifted from her dark onyx to blood red.

 "/Waiting. To put on a black shirt./"

 The Shinra suit disappeared, and Ramza saw herself in a black jumpsuit. It was skin tight. She was thin, and busty. She saw herself in a new light.

 "/Waiting. To weed out the weaklings. Waiting. To take my lightsaber and smash down their doors./"

 Ramza went to the house and sliced the door open with her lightsaber. She went in, and started slicing up the family that existed inside.

 "/Waiting. For the final solution to strengthen the strain. Waiting. To follow the worms./"

 A pedestal emerged from under the house, with Ramza on it. The apex of it came to where she could see the whole stadium. She saw the hammers march around, their heads smashing all that opposed them.

 "/Waiting. To turn on the showers and fire the ovens. Waiting. For the queens and the coons and the reds and the Jews. Waiting. To follow the worms./"

 Ramza started shaking her head. She blinked her eyes. They flashed from the blood red to the dark onyx, and back again. The pair of eyes fluctuated, until they again returned to their blood red.

 "/Worm, would you like to see Shinra rule again, my friend? All you have to do is follow the worms. Would you like to send our coloured cousins home again, my friend? All you need to do is follow the worms./"

 Ramza extinguished her saber. Her eyes started fluctuating again, but this time they stopped on her normal dark onyx. She was back to normal again. The hammers marched around her with a hypnotic effect. The faceless women and men marched inside of them. She grabbed her head, and kneeled down, feeling an extreme headache coming on. The thrashes started, and she fell off the pedestal, plummeting to the ground.

 Ramza jerked in the bed. Her hands flew up and back down again. Reno jumped, and started talking to her. He touched her face. She was still hot. Nate, Cloud, and Tifa walked in the room. A doctor was with them. He had his medical supply kit. He took out a few needles, and a few mixes of medicines meant for treating radiation exposure. He got a lead blanket, and laid it over Ramza. Her lips started moving again, but this time it was making something a little more conceivable. She was speaking the word "trial."

 Ramza found herself in the stadium again. But this time, she was in chains. She was not in the black jumpsuit, but in the green sleeveless shirt and the pair of jeans. A strange looking man walked into the room.

 "/Good morning, worm your honour. The crown will plainly show the prisoner who stands before you, was caught red handed showing feelings... showing feelings of an almost... HUMAN nature! This will not do. Call the defendant's father!/"

 Ramza saw Reno enter. He did not look like himself. He was a giant, and had a weird looking stick in his hand. He started beating Ramza with it. She cried out, but there was no sound.

 "/I always said she'd come to no good in the end your honour. If they'd let me have my way I could have flayed her into shape. But my hands were tied, the bleeding hearts and artists let her get away with murder, let me hammer her today./"

 Reno picked up Ramza, and shoved her into the meat grinder that was attached to a schoolhouse. Ramza came out in ground beef, then reformed to herself again. She mustered the strength to speak.

 "/Crazy, toys in the attic, I am crazy, truly gone fishing. They must have taken my marbles away... /Crazy, toys in the attic, she is crazy...//"

 "/Call the defendant's boyfriend!/"

 Nate walked in. Again, his view was distorted. The spikes of his hair were very long, and he had two hammers in his hand. They were the same kind of hammers in the other scene, except they were smaller.

 "/You little shit, you're in it now, I hope they throw away the key, you should have talked to me more often than you did, but no! You had to go your own way, have you broken any homes up lately? Just five minutes, worm your honour, her and me alone./"

 Nate took the hammers, and pounded Ramza a few times. He reared his head back and laughed, and jumped away. Suddenly, falling from the sky was none other than Elena.

 "/Babe! Come to mother, baby, let me hold you in my arms. M'lord, I never wanted her to get into any trouble, why'd she ever have to leave me? Worm, your honour, let me take her home./"

 Elena held Ramza in her arms, swaying her back and forth. She set Ramza down, and left much in the fashion Nate did. Ramza spoke again.

 "/Crazy, over the rainbow, I am crazy, bars in the window. There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came through! /Crazy, over the rainbow, she is crazy...//"

 Suddenly, what appeared to be the lower torso of a person appeared before Ramza. It was basically a giant ass wearing a judge's wig. It started to dance.

 "/The evidence before the court is incontrovertible, there is no need for the jury to retire. In all my years of judging, I have never heard before of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law. The way you made them suffer, your exquisite father and mother, fills me with the urge to defecate!/"

 Someone spoke from the background.

 "/No, Judge, sit on it!/"

 "/Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fears, I sentence you to be exposed before your peers!/"

 The doctor finished the treatment for radiation. He stuck the needle in Ramza's arm.

 "/Tear down the wall!/"

 The marching hammers appeared again, striking down the stadium, and the giant dancing torso started to crush the giant wall that stood on the outside. Ramza suddenly found herself cut out of this vision.

 Reno watched Ramza. This was the most advanced radiation overexposure treatment ever. Suddenly, he saw Ramza blink her eyes very slightly. Reno was now filled with joy.

  "Ramza!! Oh Ramza!! You're okay!!" Reno hugged her, and she groaned. Reno retracted. Her eyes opened fully now.

 "Daddy... I want... to go... home... I'm okay."

Author's Notes

 Yes, the story is finally finished! I know it sort of leaves you hanging, but that's the way I want it. Very soon, TR 2 will be started. I know you are all ready and raring for it! As for the dream sequences in this chapter, they are from The Wall. But they are changed slightly, especially in Waiting for the Worms. They are open for interpretations, but, Comfortably Numb reveals more of Ramza's past. Waiting for the worms is her mind going in a spiral from the overexposure of the radiation waves. And, the Trial is the apex of it, until the doctor comes and administers the medicine. Ramza views herself responsible for the errs in her life, and in the people that surround her and befriend her. It was a ride writing this story. I hope I get an even bigger one writing TR 2.
