Chapter Text
Music played softly in the background from Tealmon knows where, every person there waiting anxiously to see who’d be hunting them down this time. Everyone’s life was this now, a never-ending loop of being hunted down and either surviving or dying brutally, music in the background mocking them and reminding them their purgatory was just a game to be enjoyed.
Every new area became all too familiar, every robloxian knew where each generator was…most of the time at least they did, they learnt hiding spots, the weaknesses of the ones hunting them down. The only thing that affected these robloxians anymore was who the killer was.
His baby boy…
His poor boy was misled, taught to think everything was just a game of tag, everyone was playing along and running while he ran up and caught up to them, only for their body to fall limp and bleed out. C00lkidd didn’t see that though, he just saw his victims have a big happy smile before dramatically falling to the ground.
“I’m telling dad!!” C00lkidd’s voice was heard from afar, faint but still audible. 007n7’s hands shook as he tried his best to finish the generator, repeatedly messing up even the easiest wires. It was just connecting dots. How hard could it possibly be? Well apparently it’s extremely hard when you’re hearing the voice of your dead son as he gleefully ran around and attacked the ones only trying to survive, just as he was.
007n7 saw Elliot coming near the generator, he didn’t have a chance to finish it anyways so he backed away and ran out, Elliot stared in confusion at how 007n7 just got up and left without a quickly stammered out “T-take this generator! You need it more than me…” from him
Builderman had seen this too many times to count, as if he was ever counting before. Everytime C00lkidd was the killer, 007n7 would act weird, more quiet than usual if that was possible, he would try and take C00lkidd away from the other survivors. Builderman would connect it to the way Shedletsky always charged at 1x1x1x1 but, there was a difference in 007n7’s demeanour
The ex-hacker’s hands shook more, his eyes unfocused with what looked to be tears at the corners, a desperation Builderman had only seen in the eyes of creators. Shedletsky charged at 1x1x1x1 with a determination to bring her down, 007n7 walked to C00lkidd with a desperation to bring back something. Something he lost.
After a while Builderman wasn’t the only one who noticed, second off was Shedletsky, then it was Chance, then everyone else. Whenever C00lkidd was the killer almost everyone tensed up to see how 007n7 would act, but it was always the same as usual. He was either the first to die or the last every single time.
Guest1337 prided himself on protecting every single person he could, he never wanted to let another comrade fall to the hands of those who cared not for life, even if certain ones freaked him out he’d still help them backstab the killer whoever it was. He blocked with his body, he punched and pushed the killer back, anything to buy his team more time. Elliot was his top priority most of the time as whoever is killing would end up going after him since he kept helping everyone heal.
Guest1337 would block, wind up, and punch the killer right in the jaw to stun them. If they were behind him he’d use a back-sideways-kick on them right in the gut or in the face if he got lucky. Each time it would stun them, the only issue was doing that to John Doe since he recovered so easily and got aggravated, but it was fine, Guest1337 would just lead the aggravated man away from the rest.
Which is why he was so confused by the way 007n7 took C00lkidd away, unlike Shedletsky the man could stun with his sword and fight back, 007n7 had…nothing. Unless the man could train his clones to gang up on the killer and punch them he had nothing he could do to fight back. Guest1337 always tried following 007n7 to wherever he led C00lkid, but always lost his track.
The one time he caught up to them it was too late. “Hope this doesn’t hurt too much!” a sickening snap sounded through the mansion they were all in, C00lkidd’s childish giggling filling the room. The fully red killer though, didn’t throw the body like he usually did, he gently rested 007n7 down on the ground…how weird.
Guest1337 shook his head and readied himself to block, it was no time to think, he’d stay here and keep this child away from the rest of his team even if it cost his life. He lost one already…he won’t lose the rest.
Everyone was teleported back to the chairs, the last remaining survivors were only Guest1337, Shedletsky, Elliot who was barely living, and Taph. Everyone else had died and was just sitting there waiting for the rest of the survivors. Elliot groaned tiredly as he got up, Builderman and Shedletsky immediately going to his side to help him. Guest1337 was about to do the same when Chance put a hand on his shoulder, “Look buddy, you did enough work that round, take a break and get some fresh air” the gambler pat his back and smiled
Smiling like a champion despite being the second to die, classic Chance. Guest1337 passed a hand through his hair as he looked over everyone else. Twotime sat down with Noob and Chance, they were staring at their dagger once again, Chance fidgeted with their coin, Noob was just staring at the fireplace.
Shedletsky and Builderman were currently helping Elliot with whatever injuries he could’ve sustained from the last round, even if they instantly regenerated after each round they could still have maybe a sprained ankle or a small cut, miniscule things the damned Specter wouldn’t bother with helping out with
Guest1337 took Chance’s advice and walked outside, taking in a deep inhale of the fresh air, they wouldn’t have another round for a while so they had time to just relax or sleep for as long as they needed to, but they could never let their guard down. At least Guest1337 never did.
Guest1337 walked around, sitting at the shore of the beach and listening to the water, when he heard someone around. His senses were strong, he could hear even a pin drop no matter if there was another sound around, the blue haired guest looked over his shoulder to see 007n7 sitting behind the cabin. The ex-hacker had his knees to his chest, his eyes closed and a pair of broken glasses next to him, the burger hat on his head was off as well
Guest1337 stares for a while longer, before getting up from the beach ground and dusting himself off as he walks towards 007n7. He observed the other man, how his straight brown hair looked like it hadn’t been taken care of for a long time, it couldn’t have grown while he was here since it seemed both mental and physical age was paused here forever, so it had already grown out and become messy when he wasn’t forsaken yet. His blue collared shirt was messy and had many wrinkles in it, his brown slack pants looked the same, the watch on his wrist was broken and only showed the time 12:24 a.m.
“Hey…” Guest1337 finally spoke, which seemed to break 007n7 out of some trance since he jerked up from the position he was originally in, his eyes were red and puffy with fresh tears. He quickly wiped his face and faced away from Guest1337, “Ahahaha ... .Guest…wh-what are…what are you doing here?” he asked, not wanting to show Guest1337 his face at the moment
Guest1337 had his hands behind his back, “I wanted to check on you, you were the first one to die last round with C00lkid, again.” he averted his eyes from 007n7, the man probably didn’t want to be stared at at the moment. “I always want to check on my teammates, if one of us falls the rest do as well.” Guest1337 folded his thick arms over his chest, he sounded both concerned and serious at the same time. 007n7 finally looked towards Guest1337 and sniffled, nodding “You-...You’re right, you’re right. Sorry, I’m just never myself when that boy is killing everyone.” 007n7 gave a humorless laugh, staring down at the grass and picking at it.
Guest1337 pondered for a while before asking “Is it alright if I sat here with you?” he leaned against the back wall of the cabin 007n7 was hiding behind, 007n7 blinked then quickly shook his head and waved his hands “Oh it’s fine! You can sit, I don’t mind at all” He always came off as a jittery, nervous man whenever they were surviving in a round, and it seemed he didn’t change outside of surviving. Guest1337 slowly sat down, his legs folded beneath him and his back against the wooden walls
They both sat in silence, only the sound of their breathing, the water in the ocean, and 007n7 picking at the grass on the ground was heard. “...Is there a reason you act like that during rounds with C00lkidd, 007n7?” Guest1337 suddenly asked, which made 007n7’s entire body freeze up. 007n7 shook lightly, curling up even more if it was possible and sighing.
“I’d-...I’d rather not talk about it.”007n7 stammered out in a hushed voice, Guest1337 immediately stopped thinking about whatever further questions he had. “Of course, I don’t want to force you to say anything you don’t want to.”
Guest1337 and 007n7 sat in silence once again, this time it felt a bit more awkward but there wasn’t exactly anything to say at the moment. But the silence slowly grew more comforting, the sound of water hitting sand and breeze brushing through the leaves of the trees were soothing to the mind. Guest1337 closed his eyes and let his head fall back
007n7 looked over at the half asleep soldier, he looked down at his broken glasses and placed them aside away from him and Guest1337. 007n7 also let his head fall back against the wood, his eyes fluttering closed.
Guest1337 didn’t force him to say anything, didn’t push him to act more during rounds with c00lkid, didn’t do anything 007n7 expected him to do. He was more than glad, delighted that the others didn’t send the extremely intimidating military man after him.
007n7 let out a soft sigh, letting himself get a quick nap in just as Guest1337 was doing, and trying his best to stay half conscious so he doesn’t accidentally let his head fall on Guest’s shoulder.
