Last chapter. You know the routine. Violence and death is a must. :P

Chapter 12

After seeing the explosion, Santana steps on the gas to go faster and farther from the diner.

"What are you doing? We have to go back." Rachel says.

"Rachel we can't." Santana refuses.

"Quinn is back there. We can't just leave her…" Rachel protests tears filling her eyes.

"We have no choice. What's to say she even survived huh? I mean did you see that…" Santana trails off. "Look Quinn asked me to get you as far and as safe from that place as possible. It…it was her dying wish." Santana says. Tears also filling her eyes.

"Dying wish?…oh god." Rachel says as tears start to fall.

"I'm sorry Rachel, but Quinn…Quinn had too. To save you. To save all of us. I didn't want to leave her just as much as you did, but it had to done. You needed to be here." Santana says. Beside her Rachel cries holding her baby. "I'm sorry."

Rachel looks down at her son. He looks back up at her and a small smile forms on his tiny face. Rachel smiles back at him with a tearful smile. She sent a silent promise to keep him safe. For him. And for Quinn.

As they drove farther, they finally came to a road sign that said 'Red Ridge'.

"We're here." Santana says. "Alright, we need to figure out what the weapon situation is." Santana instructs. "Hopefully Quinn didn't take out everything."

Everybody starts to look around in the car for any kind of weapon.

"I found a flare gun." Brittany says.

"Good anything else?"

"Yea, I got a few-" before she could finish there was a huge crash from the top of the car.

Gabriel had caught up with them. He was on the roof trying to punch his way through. Santana pulls her gun out and start shoot up at him while still driving.

A bullet hits him, knocking him off the roof. As he flies back, he grabs hold to the back of the car.

"Santana!" Brittany yells pointing behind them.

"Move!" Santana yells. Katy and Brittany duck and Santana takes a shot. She starts to swerve trying to knock him off. "Brittany the flare gun!"

Brittany quickly grabs the flare gun. Just as she was about to fire, Gabriel pushes her hand away making the flare shot up the front at Rachel and Santana. The two duck as it ricochets off the front and hits right back at Gabriel. This throws him off momentarily.

He latches onto the car and begins to crawl up the car. Brittany and Katy start to fight him, but he pushes them off. Brittany falls back, hitting her head hard on the window knocking her unconscious.

With those obstacles out of the way, Gabriel continues his pursuit of the baby. As he crawls up, Santana tries to reach back to shoot him, but he grabs her hand.

"Silly little girl." he taunts.

He slams her hand against the stirring wheel to get her to drop the gun. Rachel shields the baby from the fight. He tries to cover her eyes to make her crash then starts to choke her. Trying to break away, Santana steps on the gas. As he was preoccupied, Katy jumps up on his back wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Get off of her!" Katy shouts. Gabriel tries to get her off, but there wasn't much room. "Brittany hold on to the chair!" she instructs. Still dazed from her head bump, Brittany does as she was told. "Santana do it!" Santana's foot pushed harder on the gas. "DO IT!"

All too quickly Santana's foot moved from the gas to the break. Gabriel and Katy went flying throw the windshield. The car tips over due to the impact and tumbles into a ditch. Things went black momentarily. The car stops, landing on its head.

Rachel was the first to come too. She first checked to see if her baby was okay. Once she saw that he had been sleeping through it all, she started to make her way out. Because of her smaller frame, Rachel was able to get from the car window with ease. She goes to check for Brittany and Santana.

"Brittany!" she calls out. She hears a muffled "yea" coming from the back seat. Rachel rushes over to help her friend. With some wiggle room Brittany was able to get out.

"Where's Santana?" Brittany asks once she's out of the car. Before Rachel could answer they heard a groan come from the driver side. They bent down to see Santana trying to wiggle her way out.

"Santana" Brittany calls out. Santana lets out another groan. "Come on San, take my hand."

"Is Rachel and the baby okay?" Santana asks.

"Yea." Brittany asks as she helps Santana out. Santana manages to get out. She had a cut on her head, but she was fine. Brittany and Rachel were lucky to get away with just a few small scratches, although Brittany would have a major headache later.

"And Katy?" Santana asks as soon as she's out of the car. Rachel and Brittany's heads drop. Santana knew what that meant. "Damn it."

"Come on guys we have to go." Rachel says.

They head up the cliff. The sun was just about to rise over the hills. Santana helps Brittany and Rachel to the top, but as Santana was helping Rachel they saw something flying towards them.

"Oh shit…" Santana starts.

As Gabriel flew closer, Santana pushes Rachel out of the way. Gabriel swoops down and punches Santana sending her into a rock, knocking her out. Brittany and Rachel take off running, but come to a dead end. They turn to find Gabriel stalking towards them.

"Give me the child." Gabriel commands.

Rachel looks at her son before looking back at Gabriel.

"No" Rachel says strongly shielding her son.

"Very well. Then death will come to you all." Gabriel says.

As soon as he goes for the girls, he is tackled by Santana. Both go over the edge.

"Santana!" Brittany and Rachel yell at the same time.

They land with Santana on top of Gabriel. Gabriel throws her off of him. Her back hits the rocks. Gabriel pulls a knife from his booth.

"Why do you continue to fight? You know all hope is lost." Gabriel asks as he steps closer.

Santana looks up at him.

"Go fuck yourself." she says through gritted teeth.

As Gabriel was about to strike, a booming light flashes from the sky. They look up to see Michael swoop down with Quinn in his arms.

"San!" Quinn heads over to her friend once her feet touched the ground.

"This…this can't be. You disobeyed him. How…how is this possible?" Gabriel says in disbelief.

"You gave Him what He asked for. I gave Him what He needed." Michael replies.

For a moment Gabriel looks ashamed then furious. Michael readied himself with his sword and when Gabriel charged he swung with one quick blow to his midsection. Gabriel drops his knife and clinches his stomach. Michael walks over to his brother. He places his sword under his chin. Gabriel looks up at him.

"Do it." Gabriel says.

The girls watched from the side lines looking from Michael to Gabriel wondering what Michael was going to do. "Do it!" Gabriel commands.

"No." Michael says putting his sword away, sparing Gabriel and walking away.

"I would not have shown you such mercy." Gabriel says standing up.

"I know" Michael says not looking back. "And that's why you failed him."

Now Gabriel really looks ashamed. He takes off on his wings, heading back home.

Michael turns back to Quinn and Santana.

"They're waiting." He says looking up at the hill where Rachel and Brittany were.

"Whoa, where are you going?" Quinn asks as Michael walks away.

"You're the true protector, Quinn. You always have been." Michael says.

"Well will I ever see you again?" Quinn asks.

Michael turns to look at her.

"Just have faith." He says before also flying away.

Quinn stands there watching him as he flew away. Santana comes up beside her.

"Whoa. Was that…?"

"Yea"

"And did he…"

"Yep"

"Wow." Santana says. She turns to look at her friend. "Wow Q, you look like shit." Santana says. Quinn still had the bruises and scratches from her battle with Gabriel. Quinn chuckles.

"Come on. Let's go." Quinn says.

The girls climb up the cliff to get to the girls. On top, Brittany and Rachel held each other while worrying about their missing friend. Soon a hand grabs the top of the cliff and Santana comes into view. The girls both bend down to help Santana. Once Santana was on top, Brittany nearly tackles her in a hug. Once Santana had her balance back, she hugged her back.

Rachel watches with a sad tearful smile, wishing Quinn was there.

"A little help here." she hears behind her.

She looks to the edge and imagine her surprise and happiness when she saw Quinn there.

"Quinn!" she shouts. The two girls broke apart helping Quinn up.

Once Quinn was safe on the ground, Rachel tackles Quinn in a one armed hug.

"I thought I lost you." Rachel says into Quinn's shoulder. Tears start to leak from her eyes.

"Me too" Quinn whispers holding her as tight, but not to tight. She didn't want to hurt the baby. That's when Quinn remembered the baby. She pulls back from the hug. "The baby…is he okay?"

"He's fine Quinn." Rachel smiles. "Look" Rachel holds the baby up so Quinn could see. The little boy's eyes were opened. He looked over at Quinn and broke out in a big smile. Quinn can't help but smile back.

"Hey buddy." Quinn smiles.

"Because of you Quinn we're safe." Rachel says. Quinn looks at Rachel. "And of course Santana."

"Yea" Quinn says they look over at the Latina, but she was a little preoccupied at the moment. With Brittany's lips.

"Wow" Quinn grins.

"Well I think they have the right idea." Rachel says. Quinn looks at Rachel curiously. Rachel smiles at Quinn before leaning forward placing a soft lingering kiss on her lips.

Quinn smiles into the kiss. It was a minute before they pull back, both with big happy smiles on their face. They were brought out of their moment when they heard the baby cooing. They smiled down at him.

"Alright come on you two. Let's get going." Quinn calls over the other two girls. The two girls break apart and soon they're all heading down the cliff.

"Great how are we gonna get around now? We have no car. And I don't know about you bitches…and Brittany. But I needs a shower." Santana says. Quinn and Rachel shake their heads while Brittany smiles at Santana.

"Come on San, haven't you learned anything. Have faith." Quinn says with a grin.

Sure enough Quinn managed to get them a car plus more guns and new clothes. And together they were off ready to fight the next war that awaited them.

"Hey Q, by the way…nice ink."

So what did you think? Good, Bad? Thinking of doing a sequel. Any ideas on what or who would be in it? Also should Katy be dead? Never really got a god view of her death. Please review and tell me what you think. :)
