"god's plan."

"god's plan." is the eighth and final episode of the first season of "My Virtual Escape". It premiered on January 3, 2018 on StoryFire.

Description
Isaac and Arachnid launch an attack on Malachi to retrieve the stolen "XP" while Mother Sarah attempts to do the "Lord's" work.

Plot
The episode begins with The Overlord telling Mother Sarah, who is using the E.V.E. helmet, to kill Abraham, then using the helmet to make her go unconscious. Later that night at 1:00 am, Mother Sarah goes to visit Isaac where she tells him about what she was told to do, and she steals Isaac's dagger.

The next day, Isaac and Arachnid are discussing where Malachi has the XP. Isaac then calls Michael for his coordinates, and they go to the woods to find him. While on the way, they are stopped by Rebekah who tells them that she's going to take the XP which leads to an argument between her and Arachnid. Before they can finish, though, they hear Malachi nearby and Isaac goes to confront him. Isaac tells him that he's going to flip the switch and kill him using the golden gun, but Malachi tells him that if he dies in ranked mode he dies in real life. Isaac begins to question whether he should do it, but before he can make a decision, Arachnid shoots Malachi twice in his kneecaps. When questioned about how he was able to shoot Malachi, Arachnid tells them that he was using a lag switcher. Rebekah then sneaks by them and steals the XP, but is seen by Arachnid who tells Isaac to finish Malachi, then chases after her. Isaac doesn't want to kill him, so he leaves him to bleed out and fires his bullet into the air. He then goes to Solomon's place to make amends after denying his offer to join the brotherhood, and Solomon tells him that they are good. He then tells Isaac that he is leaving the game for a while for a business trip, and gives him a snow globe as a gift.

Later that night, Mother Sarah arrives at Abraham's house with Isaac's dagger and is ready to kill him. She breaks in through his back door and attacks him, but she is thrown to the ground and Abraham redirects the dagger into her stomach, killing her. He then drags her out to his shed in an attempt to hide the body. Meanwhile at the Kalder residence, Isaac is deciding whether to pursue Leah or Rebekah as a romantic partner.

StoryFire Prologue
At an unknown time... in an unknown location... with nobody else around.

THE MODERATOR: Sir... I don't know if this is right.

THE OVERLORD: My dear servant, Michael... are you questioning my rules?

THE MODERATOR: No. my Lord. It's just... this is murder. ACTUAL murder.

THE OVERLORD: But isn't this all just a game...?

The Overlord grins... his devilish smile cascading across the night sky as Michael stands on one knee.

THE MODERATOR: How can you be so cold, my Lord? This man does not deserve death. This is going to far.

THE OVERLORD: Too far...? DON'T FUCKING TELL ME ABOUT GOING TOO FAR! HE does not belong here. We both are aware of this problem. It was must be taken care of... by another... we will not be attached to this act.

THE MODERATOR: And you think she's going to go through with this?

THE OVERLORD: She is vulnerable... and broken. The woman needs a purpose... a plan.

The Overlord grins again... and laughs to himself

THE OVERLORD: She thinks I'm God.

THE MODERATOR: I mean... aren't you?

THE OVERLORD: Of course I am, Michael. And YOU are God's servant. This is happening whether you want it to or not. It should've been done the proper way years ago...

THE MODERATOR: I understand, sir. I will not play a part in this wrong-doing. I will be on my way... there are other players that need my help.

THE OVERLORD: You always play by the rules... it gets old fast. Some day you will learn that you must act with your heart and your mind... not BE A FUCKING ROBOT!

The Moderator walks away disappointed in his Master

THE OVERLORD: Time to do the Lord's work... Mother Sarah.

* THE NEXT DAY*

The Moderator returns to The Overlord and kneels before him.

THE MODERATOR: Sir... I believe blood was spilled last night in the real world. I think the deed was done.

The Overlord hesitates...

THE OVERLORD: Excellent.

THE MODERATOR: My Lord... Are you okay?

THE OVERLORD: I just... I wouldn't be so sure.
