Clyde looked up at the cave ceiling, paling. It was beginning to give way. "Move." Zane looked at him. "What?"
"I SAID MOVE!" Clyde shouted, shoving them into a run. He saw Dawn stumble from the corner of his eye and ran over, helping her stay on her feet. They all made it outside of the cave just as the ceiling collapsed. All except one.

Zane looked around, counting heads, before he realized Clyde wasn't with them. "Clyde?" His heart stopped when he saw Clyde laying under the rocks on his stomach, his top half visible. "Clyde!" Claire yelped, stumbling forward. The crushed man looked at her, despair in his glazed over eyes. "G- Guys..." He wheezed. Blood pooled around him. His fingers twitched a little. "I'm... Sorry, Zane... F- For being s- such an ass towards you..." He smiled a little, the crushing weight on him causing him to wince. "B- But I need you to... Do one more... Thing for me."
Zane was silent. There was no talking him out of this one. There was no pulling him out from under the rocks, or magical elixir for this. "Sure. Anything." He managed, not being able to look him in the eye. "Shoot me."
The air around them tensed. "Wh- What?" Dawn stepped forward. "You can't give up now!"
"What am I suppose to do, then? There's n- no way you'll be able to pull me from this." He breathed. Dawn stared at him, taking a step back. Zane drew his gun. "Why do you want me to do this?" Clyde laughed a little. "There's... There's no way I'm turning into one of those freaking... Things." He paused for a shakey breath. "And if you don't... That means you'd r- rather see me suffer." Zane looked down, then glanced at the others. "Justin will... He'll be after you... There's probably a- another way out of there..."
Clyde saw Dawn come over and kneel down in front of him. "We'll see you on the other side then, my friend..." She murmured, leaning forward and kissing his forehead. Clyde smiled. "A- About time." He managed before she stepped back and let Zane take his place. He pointed the gun at him and sighed. "There was a time when I wished I could do this. That was a while ago..." Zane looked at the sky and sighed. "Tell Arthur... I'm sorry... I won't be... Be able to play toys with him anymore..." Tears formed in his eyes. "H- Hurry up and shoot me..." Zane wet his lips and didn't look at him when he pulled the trigger. Clyde went still, his eyes closed almost as if he were sleeping. Except he wasn't.
