Chapter Text
She could feel the stares burning into him, the survivors surrounded him, talking, whispering, shouting. He could feel their disappointment, hatred, anger, frustration and disdain they all had something to say yet they didn’t, he knew they were waiting for someone to speak up, anyone but themselves. He couldn’t look anyone in the eyes, he kept his head down and low just so he wouldn’t have to face anyone with that he had done, yet she knew that wouldn't last long.
“ARE YOU SERIOUS SEVEN??” Elliot came from the back of the group, quickly moving towards the front to grab her attention. He was fuming, grabbing 007n7 by the shoulders, pushing her face towards him. “Seven. Do you know what you just did?! We- We could’ve done it! We could’ve survived and finally prove we were…!” Elliots voice cracked, as his movements became shaky and sloppy, she could feel his hands shaking on her shoulders but yet even then, she couldn’t move. “WE COULD’VE SHOWN THAT WE WERE CAPABLE.. TO THAT THING! BUT YOU JUST.. YOU HAD TO RUIN THAT!” Tears rolled down Elliots face, his breathing became rigid and sharp, he continued to rant but seven had tuned him out slowly, he could only think about how he had ruined today’s round.
—
It was the start of the round, everyone was surprisingly alive despite the circumstances. Noli, one of the new killers, was chosen as a test subject today, everybody hadn’t expected the deity to be so strong and zany. He was a trickster, a jester of some sort who was able to use his trickery to his advantage, making survivors fall to his fate quickly. The survivors had suffered long enough with this treatment, making a plan to finally prove that they were able to survive that they were just as capable as the killers, if they could win just one round against him they could prove that they weren’t just useless toys they could throw around. Their plan was simple, Builderman and taph would plant sentry’s and dispensers around the area while taph and Noob would plant bombs and tripwires next to them and in doorways, Shedletsky would be there to defend them if anything came around.
Guest and Dusekkar stuck next to each other just in case things got heated between the sentinel and killer, while Elliot and Twotime were on lookout, Elliot getting ready to heal anyone in need and two time being the backup if Guest needed it, Chance on the other hand was looking out for the killer, the minute he saw them he’d warn the others, giving the survivors time to run and get ready to fight. Everyone was ready to fight and look out for each other, all in their own spaces they could help out each other, everybody knew what to do and their plan except 007n7.
He hadn’t gotten news about this, as no one had warned him nor invited him to the meeting. Guest had warned the other survivors that he might’ve not gotten the news but they had brushed it off, and by the time Guest was able to tell them, the round had started. 007n7 was wandering around the map, looking for generators or medkits to give to the other survivors, she had wondered where the others were as it was pretty quiet. ‘Maybe they’re all doing generators somewhere else… unless I was the only one here’ Seven let out a small chuckle at the thought, maybe one day the Spectre would’ve messed up or gotten sloppy enough to only let one survivor in a round or even teleported them to the round place.. Walking around a little more he had found a medkit next to a generator, picking it up she started to work on the generator, quickly finishing it, though she had failed to notice the presence behind her until it was too late.
***
Guest was on patrol, having a conversation with Elliot while the others were still preparing, for a while Elliot had noticed Guest went quiet, quickly going to ask if he was okay.
“Hey uh.. Guest? Are you alright, you kinda went quiet there..” Guest didn't seem to notice his presence nor words, instead turning to him slightly, still pondering. “..Did Seven get the news that we were doing a plan?” Elliots face deadpanned, he seemed a little annoyed with the question but felt obligated to respond. “I mean, not really but he should have guessed by now. If he didn’t that’s his problem isn’t it?” Guest let out a sigh, putting a hand over his face, “Elliot if he doesn’t know then what do you think will happen-“ A scream cut through his sentence, quickly gaining everyones attention. Looking towards the sound they could see a faint figure running towards them, the closer it got the more they realized it was 007n7.
***
Noli had attacked her from behind, due to her not noticing Noli was able to get a simple hit in which quickly attracted her attention. She ran as fast as she could but was outrun by Noli, who used his star to attack, bringing 007n7 back to him. She wriggled out of his grasp, punching and kicking as much as she could before continuing to run, in hopes to find the other survivors she hadn’t thought about how it would affect them. She let out a loud yell in hopes she could attract the others to her, hopefully they could help her. Running closer to where everyone else was she failed to notice the chaos she was about to ensue
Builderman was in the middle of building a sentry with Taph, hearing the scream they turned to look at who it came from to which was 007n7, he was screaming to move and run which confused the two, they were about to ask what he meant by that but to no avail as 7n7 ran past them quickly leaving them with questions. They weren’t able to ponder for too long before Builderman was hit by a void star which made him scream in pain, he could feel his skin burning as he could feel the gravity pull him closer to the deity. Luckily Taph threw a bomb confusing and blinding Noli to which void let out a screech of anger, dropping Builderman as void covered its eyes, giving the two time to run though their time was limited as Noli quickly set to them. Using his void rush it grabbed Builderman by the hood, tossing him into the air before crushing him into the wall, killing him instantly, from his anger it continued to maul him into bits and scraps. Taph watched from a distance, quickly running off to find Shedletsky.
Once Noli was done with its work void he went after Taph next, who he saw run off into the distance. Taph had ran far enough that Noli wouldn't be able to find her even if he followed off to where she went, catching her breath she walked over towards one of the destroyed buildings around the area quickly noticing dusekkar, Elliot, Guest 1337 and two time. Running over to them she frantically signed about what she saw, which attracted Guests attention quickly, “We heard the screams but he hadn’t noticed the situation! Is there anyone else out there that doesn't know??”
Taph thought for a moment before signing, “Shedletsky didn't know himself, I’m not sure where he since he ran off for a moment to grab something, if he doesn't know then he’ll be next!!” Guest tensed at the thought, ‘Losing 1 sentinel is bad but one of our bests ones?’ He quickly got up from his spot, grabbing dusekkar by the arm and running off, “WE GOTTA SAVE HIMM!!” Leaving the others behind in confusion.
“I didn’t even tell him who else was out there..” Taph signed solemnly, Two time patted them on her shoulder as a reassuring gesture. “I’m sure our beloved soldier will watch out for anyone who is in sign of trouble, don’t you agree my dear companion!” They turned to Elliot to get an opinion but the healer only stood, looking out at the world around them with a troublesome expression. “Hm? Is something the matter, friend?” Elliot turned to Two time, looking more pissed than troubled. “Is something wrong? What do you think?? Seven just got Builderman killed for Christ sake! How can we do this without him ruining it!”
“To be fair, as I presume, our hacker did not know the rules to our plan as none of our comrades hadn’t told the fellow.” The statement made Elliot scoff in annoyance, “Okay, I get that I guess but it is really his fault for not asking or even coming to the meeting.” Twotimes smile faltered slightly, letting out a small grunt they spoke again, “Well, that may be true but even then dear healer, it is our fault for not-“ A scream let its way known, cutting off their sentence making them let out a sigh of frustration.
Looking over to where the sound came from they could see a hurt noob making their way towards them, they were clearly limping, trying to hold themselves up from collapsing. Elliot quickly got off his spot, running to them without hearing two times pleas out, “Dear Elliot, please do not let yourself go! There may be trouble ahead!” Elliot didn't not listen, running on instinct they ran over to the young adult, quickly healing them with his pizza but a sharp pain made its way through him. Collapsing to the ground he clutched his side, which burnt with what he assumed was Noli void star. Looking up he could see the deity walking to them both, glitching and wavering slightly, blood stained its clothing, hands and face as it looked like it was 2 seconds from exploding with rage.
The two robloxians moved quickly, getting up and running as fast as they could, but were stopped by Noli running towards them and ramming into the two crashing all 3 into the ground. Elliot let out a pitiful groan, getting up from the weight on top of him he crawled slowly to the ground they were previously at. Two time and Taph grabbed hold of him, getting him up from the ground to take him somewhere safer. Though Elliot objected against this idea, trying to save noob in the progress, “I am truly sorry dear Elliot but we must make haste for later, even if it means a sacrifice.” Two time tried their best to reassure the healer but to not avail as he continued to flail around.
Making it to the other side of the map, they stopped to take a breath, Elliot ran out of energy long ago and was laying limp on the ground. Two time and Taph took their time to relax and find a medkit for the healer, looking around they found a semi-broken on laying on the ground opened. Taking it they helped Elliot heal, wrapping up his wounds and letting him rest for the time being.
“Do you think we’ll survive this round?” Taph signed slowly, mostly from her exhaustion and fatigue but she awaited for a response as the cultist thought. With a pondering look they spoke, “Hm, I’m not sure myself, seeing how this round is going I can only assume that in the end, we won’t be able to make it. Hence why we’ll just stay here for the time being until our inevitable death” Despite the tone in their voice they still kept up a smile, turning to Taph with a warmth she hadn't felt in a long time. “I see.. I guess we’ll just wait then..” She turned back to the scenery, watching everything pass by with sounds of survivors being killed off one by one.
Guest had caught up to where Noli was, watching him attempt to attack Noob while using their potion, eventually due to how much damage he was doing to the kid their shielding slowly came undone allowing the deity to start attacking for real. Guests instincts went off and he charged at them, crushing into Noli and sending them both flying into the ground. With Noli stunned Guest took this time to grab noob and run, leaving the jester behind enraged. Getting up it decided to chase HIM again, using their teleportation he made his way back to 007n7, who was healed up and attempting to do a generator. It grimaced and let out a growl at the sight, why could HE just DIE. He hadn’t noticed that 7n7 had noticed him first until he disappeared into thin air before they could grab him. They let out a glitched and loud screech at this, deciding to let everyone else fall before HIM.
They teleported to the nearest generator, running around to find someone, ANYONE. Quickly finding the alone gambler walking around, flipping a coin in their hand. The sound annoyed Noli enough that void quickly went after them, throwing them to the ground and stepping on his head, making them flail and scream with terror and pain before the screams cut off with an agonizing crunch sound which was music to its ears. Stepping out they saw the blood and inside spill out of their head, stepping it in more it let out squelching and small sounds, eventually it got bored and sought out its next victim. Running around manically they found the next victim of its murder, the chicken eater, alone. They used its magic and created a hallucination of their dear companion, 1x1x1x1, which in turn made the chicken man bring out his sword attempting to fight them but to no avail as he realized it was fake, Noli took this time to strike.
They started with a void rush, slamming them into the ground before grabbing and throwing them to the nearby wall, watching the man try to get up but with no energy was amusing to it. Walking over slowly they grabbed the man by the wings, slowly but firmly pulling on them until he heard a crack, the survivor letting out an uncomfortable grunt. It took this as a sign to continue, slowly feeling the bone rip out of the skin, as it did this he could hear the survivor start to plead, telling it to stop but Noli did not care enough to hear. Eventually the deity let the wing be removed forcefully, hearing the rip of the skin and bone fill the empty space and the screams of the man. Dropping him to the ground void watched as he grabbed onto the side of his head, the screams filling the once empty world, they got tired of dealing with him, grabbing his head and twisting it enough till it ripped off, just like that he was dead.
They smiled at the corpse, continuing on with their spree, time by time they let another survivor be tortured, the sounds they made sent void off. Joy, Glee and adrenaline run throughout voids body. Noob was separated from guest which Noli took this opportunity to trick them and frighten them enough with their hallucinations to run after and strangle them with his jester hat, which in turn made them flail and scream in fear. Dropping them they sought out the pumpkin, turning his star into a hammer he threw it at the pumpkins knees, making him fall in pain before smashing the head to pieces, allowing the fire to burn out. Guest had tried to stop the deity but in pure dissociation and glee he quickly ripped the soldiers arms off with its ribbons, before ripping the man into shreds, leaving a mutilated corpse on the ground.
Eventually it came to Twotime, Taph and Elliot. The other two scrambled off with each other, only leaving the sleeping pizza boy, using the fact that they were sleeping Noli took this time to look into the dream. Looking in he could see a nice house, with a nice family… Hm if he had wanted to go home so soon it would let this dream come true! After all it did believe in dreams come true..
Waking up, Elliot found himself back in his old bed, he looked around before jumping up and running out the door downstairs. There he had found his.. family. Mia and his father… tears left his eyes as Mia asked if he was okay while his dad attempted to comfort him, he hugged them tightly not wanting to let go nor acknowledging their questions. Eventually he had told them about this horrible nightmare, the dream being about the world they currently lived in, the two comforted the boy allowing him to relax and go about his day, looking around he could see everything was about the same, but yet he felt like there was a presence following him like he wasn’t alone nor was this real but he shook off those thoughts and continued about it. Everyone seemed to be normal, just like how it was back then, truly then maybe this was just a bad dream… or so he thought, slowly he became to see things that weren’t normal, such as some people glitching into nothing or clipping into objects, and the world had seemed to be getting a little more distorted the more he looked at things, though someone or something always distracted him to make him leave such thoughts behind. He felt relieved that the dream hadn’t been real, that this was all just fake and he was with his family.. until he got home.
The home seemed dark and gloomy, with the inside becoming nothing but a pocket space where furniture and object flew around with no gravity around. He looked around the house, calling out for his family, calling out for Mia.. But to no answer, sweat built up on his head, he could feel his heart pounding out of his chest and tears welled up in his eyes, he wanted this to be another dream, just anything other than what was happening. Eventually he made it up the crumbling stairs and into his room, standing there was the person he was looking for, Mia. He ran towards her, hugging her with all his might asking what was happening and why was the house a mess but she gave no answer not even a word to him. He asked if she was alright but she didn't utter a single word, turning her around slightly she had a blank face, showing no indication of emotion, he shook her slightly to see if she’d do anything. Just anything to show she was real. With no movement he had realized that she wasn’t here, she wasn’t real none of this was, was it.
Laughter filled the room, becoming louder by the second making Elliot crash into the ground holding his head, the maniacal laughter continued an obvious reaction to him being oblivious and stupid enough to fall for such tricks. A hand held out in front of him, the face blurry from his tears he grabbed it. anything to get rid of the anguish he felt now, the figure held him, patting his head with reassurance. He knew who it was but the opportunity to get comfort was stronger than to run, he could feel the hand slowly grip him harder, eventually becoming a blinding pain but yet he held on, not wanting to let go no matter what. He sucked in a breath, feeling the grip strengthening before…
A loud crunch and tearing was heard. He watched as the skin slowly became undone watching the bone slip out from the neck, blood and flesh ripped out from the body, tearing with resistance. It watched at slowly the head came undone and the boy died in his hands, still holding him with the grip fading away. “How pitiful. You chose this yourself boy, and now that you’re gone I can continue such deeds. Annoying.” It dropped the head on the ground, crushing it with ease and it sprinted in the direction of the cultist and terrorist.
The two ran together, running as fast as they could, finding a place to settle for the time being they wondered where the killer had gone. Looking around they tried to look for any signs of life around them or even just a medkit laying around but to no use as the world was empty and blank. Taph sat down in exhaustion, letting herself catch their breath from running so much, ”how long do you think until we get caught?” Two time looked around the area before speaking, “Not too long my companion, once he is done with our friend there is no chance that he wont catch us the minute he is done! Eventually time will come for us all.” Taph sighed at the cultist, as much as she did like them they were sometimes so melancholic, especially at times like this.
Listening to the map around them, they could hear a faint sound becoming louder, turning around they grabbed Taph and told her to run as fast as she could somewhere else at first the terrorist denied it and wanted them to come with but the cultist chased them away before returning to the main area watching Noli come closer. The deity laughed with mania, they instantly saw the cultist rushing towards them as fast as it could, but yet they realized that they wouldn’t go down so easily. The cultist stabbed them in the back before tripping them to the ground and running off in the distance, the deity growled under its breath, getting up and chasing them. They ran as fast as they could, making sure to set distance between the two but they underestimated how angry they had made it.
The deity appeared right in front of them grabbing them by the face and dragging them with it. They kicked and flailed trying to get out of the grip it held on them but to no avail, they tried to bite, stab, kick, punch yet the deity did not stop nor acknowledge it. Eventually when the deity had enough of the cultist beating him, he threw them against one of the pillars around the map, breaking the pillar in half, with the wind knocked out of them, they stayed on the ground, not daring to get up from the pain. Noli grabbed them by the hair, dangling them slightly before grabbing his void star and slowly put it on their skin, they screeched in pain, feeling the star burn their skin, deeply touching their bone. The deity pushed it in further, making the star stick inside of them, eventually breaking through both skin and meat it was inside of them body, yet the deity could not let the child die so quick so void kept them alive slightly, watching them try to beg in pain but to no use.
Their mind was a jumble, they couldn’t form any sentence or even a word only screams and grunts came out, their throat burned with how much they were yelling, they wanted to tell the killer to just let them die and move on but nothing came out. The burning was too much they could feel their own inside be burnt to nothing, they felt the way their organs and insides burst, blood gushing out but being dried out by the star. They wanted to collapse, to just die and move on but the deity in front of them did not agree, they watched the deity, with a blank expression raised its hand and closed it slowly, with this they could feel the star burn and expand before..
The body before him was no more, only leaving the rotten insides and head. Blood splattered all over, dripping from the deity’s body to the ground and the puddle underneath him was slowly growing by the minute, the insides of the mortal were splattered everywhere, some of it had exploded along with the rest of the body yet some remained. The deity dropping the head, kicking it and looking at its work, looking at the mess it knew that the cultist was his. Imprinting his star onto them made it his property.. or so how he would like it. Walking away from the scene its footsteps were no more, its shadow which was casted by the purple night sky had faded into nothing, he was now everything. His shadow, his body were no more and he was nothing like he was before, allowing himself to be what he truly was he had no time for games anymore. There was just 1 more person left he had to deal with before going back to his beloved.
Taph heard the screams, covering her head and ears she cried. She knew she couldn’t run, couldn’t hide, couldn’t do anything to help her in this situation and only wait until it was their time. It came quickly, more faster than she had expected. One minute she was alone the next, shadows and fog surrounded her, tears left her eyes she hadn’t wanted to become like them, like everyone else she just wanted to go home, back to the cabins, back to the others. Noli was in front of her now, standing, awaiting her fate she sat not wanting to look or acknowledge what was going to happen… but it didn't seem like he was hostile now, he held his hand towards her, waiting for her to grab.. She felt weak and hopeless, deciding to do whatever he wanted.
Pulling her up from the ground he asked her one question, “What is it do you wish to die from.” Taph looked up at the deity in front of her, she felt desperate to die so she just signed the one thing that came to mind. ‘I wish to die peacefully, nothing horrible like the others. Just let me die peacefully.’ The deity nodded before quickly beheading her, watching her body fall to the ground and just like that it was gone. He had always admired the terrorist, such a pitiful creature she was, terrorized, beaten, tortured.. forced into hiding? That was interesting, what had one done to deserve such treatment, and more importantly she was mute? What a sad life to live, he couldn’t help but feel empathetic for it. The one thing that she deserved was a nice death, at least that was one thing that was ever good to come out of her life. Getting rid of the last remaining survivor he quickly went after the last person.
One by one she watched as all the survivors had died due to her idiotic actions, she walked around the map hoping that she could find at least one person to save just one person.. But to no avail, she walked past discarded bodies, looking at the mutilated faces she gagged and shook. Elliot was the last person she could find, holding his body tight she apologized, tears flowing out of her eyes, dripping onto what remained of Elliot’s body. She could hear the pattering of the last survivors feet, as well as hearing Noli themselves walking by. She got up, with shaky and weak legs she slowly made her way to where she’d assume taph and timer were but finding that the two were gone. She could hear screaming in the distance making her shake with fear and despair at what was happening, she knew the screams it was timer. She crumbled to the ground, clutching herself, crying loudly as she listened to the poor kid being slaughtered, eventually their screams stop as well as the map in general. The air felt tense and empty, there was no sign of people around nor any life at all, everything felt fake as if it was all just a dream but she knew it wasn’t as she heard footsteps behind her.
Grabbing the GUI she tried to escape but before she could even do anything, Noli punched the GUI quickly destroying it in the process. Gasping she pushed him away and tried to run just to find that she wasn’t even moving, once she realized she was let go but pushed to the ground right after. Turning, she looked and stared at the figure in front of her, she didn’t move she couldn’t at all. Her breath became shaky and uneven, she could feel her body shaking with fear yet she didn't nothing to move, this made the deity smile widely as it brought its hand up, ready to attack but before it could, Seven grabbed him by the ankles gripping as hard as she could. Noli stopped dead in his tracks, not expecting him to do this… Standing there for what felt like forever Seven spoke up.
“Why… Why are you doing this to me.. I don’t know what I even did to you I- I don’t even KNOW you so.. tell me please just stop tell me… why you’re doing this I can’t handle it anymore. I can’t.” Her voice was raspy and dry, taking deep breaths each time she spoke, her voice was shaking so much that Noli almost could understand what she was saying, the grin disappeared, turning into nothing. Not a frown, not a grimace, just nothing at all. “Are you going to pretend you don’t know Sev? Cause if you did that’d be quite amusing wouldn’t it?” His voice was ice cold now, no hints of humor or sarcasm only pure emptiness. “I-I don’t! I don’t know who you are I never.. met you I just wanttogohomepleaseee.. I can’t do this anymore.” She was sobbing now, tears staining the deity’s pants, Noli let out an annoyed grunt at this, kicking her off and stepping on her body, hard.
“You’re so PATHETIC now. You have no right to live nor even be here you don’t deserve happiness seven, not after what you did to ME. Don't try to pretend you don't know what happened, you left me to rot, to die. You deserve to suffer just as much as I did while IN THAT RELAM. I hate you Seven, god I hate you so much you leave me and now you pretend to be ignorant and idiotic as THIS. You disgust me. Good bye sev, just know, I did love you then.” With that he stabbed the star into 007n7, sharpening it that it was thin enough to slowly dig into the body.. As she felt the pin stabbing her she could feel it near her heart and eventually pain.. but as soon as it came it disappeared as she faded into unconsciousness.
—
And this is how she was here.. She could faintly hear Elliot yelling, though she couldn’t listen, she couldn’t move nor say anything. She remembered how it used to be when she screwed up, back then when they all first got here she’d cry and beg for forgiveness but eventually as the days went by she became numb, numb to every insult, to every lash at her, to every word to every criticism. Nothing mattered to her anymore, everyday was the same, the most she looked forward to was the rounds because that’s when she’d.. actually feel something besides this horrible numbness. Something pricked at her skin, at first she didnt notice it but the more it poke the more she noticed, looking down at her hands she could slowly see the code picking up, nobody.. knew about this. She couldn’t let them see, but she could leave this place not now! Elliot seemed to notice her unease, grabbing her shoulders and asking if she was listening, the more she didn’t answer the more agitated Elliot got. Twotime and Guest noticed his growing anger quickly moving to grab the Boy from doing anything he’d regret but it was too late..
“Seven! God damnit why won’t you listen for once!” They shoved her to the ground which Seven didn't even notice until she felt her body fall, crashing onto the floor. Elliot stopped in his tracks, tears coming down still from earlier, he scrambled to pick up seven, yelling apologies but seven didnt seem to care, getting up on her own she moved out of the way and slowly walked towards the door. “Seven wait-!” Guest blocked his path which made him shrink into themselves quickly, they tried to get a word in but Guest cut through, “Elliot… just leave him alone for now okay? You’ve already taken this too far.” “But! He ruined the-“ “Did you ever tell him the plan? Do you invite him to the meeting? Did you even try to question him earlier.” Elliot stepped back, he shook slightly feeling tears rush to his eyes again. “I.. I thought he knew..” Two time perked up, “Last I remember you said it didn’t matter didn’t you?” Elliot shut up quickly, looking down at the ground, he let out a shaky breath before speaking, “I.. said that.. Im sorry.. I’m sorry” He felt his tears falling down to the ground, dripping slightly before he ran out of the cabin his yells following.
The others stood in shock and guilt, they knew it was their fault for not saying anything to the hacker yet they didn't say anything. “You all knew didn’t you. You knew he didn't know and none of you did anything about it. Yet you all still blame him instead of yourselves.” Nobody said a thing about it, grunting slightly Guest left the cabin, Twotime following suit before slamming the door shut making the cabin shake. The rest stayed in silence, besides Noob curling up next to Taph from the yelling and fighting, Builderman let out a sigh before walking out next, “Ill be back, need ta’ find seven n’ Elliot, Shed come with me, Dusekkar watch the rest.” Shedletsky nodded, following him out the door before the others stayed..
***
Running through the woods, Seven didn't listen to Elliots yells or pleads for him to come back, she couldn’t listen to another argument, to more belittlement, to berating she couldn’t handle it anymore! Tears covered her face, her breath was ragged and sharp, her body becoming a mass of broken code and glitching, it hurt. Everything hurt for her, the burning, the glitching, the phasing everything was painful. She could hear Elliots feet behind her, he was close and she felt trapped here, she had to get out now.
“Seven! Please come back, I- I didnt.. eugh Sev, please!” He could see the hacker running in front of him, if he could just run a little faster he could.. he could make it! Before he could grab onto the hoodie of the hacker he vanished into the trees, making Elliot trip and fall onto the ground. He got up from the dirt covered trail, dusting himself off before looking around he could find out where Seven had turned, he desperately tried to look where Seven went but he was nowhere to be found.
The minute she felt Elliot’s hand try to grab her the GUI hit a high, overheating, it went into overdrive glitching ferociously before Seven glitched into nothing. The last thing she heard was Elliot falling to the ground before she appeared at a new location which was farther than anyone had went in the forest, she didn’t recognize this place at all. Looking around she could only see forest all around, no lighting, only pure darkness.
She shook with fear and weakness, the GUI was resetting itself from its high while Seven was equally affected by the change. Eventually she could feel her body start to collapse on itself, before she knew it, she had frozen up on the soft grass underneath her, her mind eventually went blank as her eyes shut, the last thing she had thought was to be safe when she awoke… which would be a while..
—
A poke shot through her, feeling the dull object stabbing into her body, it persisted even when she shook and twitched from the uncomfortable feeling. Eventually it had started to move up her body, moving to her face and slightly picking at her checks. The foreign object continued to prod and search around her before it hit the back of her head quite harshly making her grunt before her tail unconsciously wrapped around the person, throwing them to the ground. The person yelped, grunting when they hit the ground sending vibrations throughout the area.
The yelp had startled 007n7 awake, looking up from her spot she saw a figure wriggling on the floor, attempting to escape the tails grasp. It took her a minute because of her fatigue but she had recognized that it was another person, gasping she quickly getting up from her spot and pulling the person up spewing apologies.
“Oh! I’m so sorry I didn’t realize that you were a person, I really thought you were just a-“
“Ah, no no it’s quite fine. I was messing with you after all, I accept your ‘not needed’ apology” The stranger looked fashionably dressed, their hair was well kept as long as their clothes with them having a fancy look with a glowing crown on their head. They looked around the place before speaking, “Say…I’ve been trapped here for a minute, do you perhaps..know where we are?”
Seven froze for a minute, the gears turning in her head trying to figure out how to word this correctly. If she did it wrong they’d freak out, just like the others when they explained before. She hadn’t noticed it before but she was mumbling quite a lot, making the person in front of her question her, “Uhm.. are you okay?” 007n7 let out a squeak, shaking her head and hands frantically.
“OH! No! I just.. find it hard to explain this.. but to hopefully put it ‘simply’ we’re technically in a different dimension? Or maybe like world, I really don’t know how I can explain this without it sounding weird…”
The person in front of her scoffed a little, making her flinch but they paid no mind to it, “So basically I was kidnapped?” “I.. Guess?”
“Hm. I see, and are you supposedly my kidnapper then?” “I- No! I wouldn’t do that.. I’m here for the same reason” They blinked for a minute, letting out a small sigh, “Oh? I see then, looks like we’re in the same boat i suppose.. well might get comfortable then.” They crouched to the ground, setting themselves down slightly before resting.
“Uhm.. you do know there’s a camp right?” Seven watched as they sprung to life, jumping up and grabbing her by the shoulders, “Where can I find these ‘camps’ then hm??” Stepping back from them, she began to explain about the camps they resided in and the other survivors around the area. “I see… I guess we shall get going then?”
“Ohhh.. that’s the thing I have no idea where it is.. before this I was doing something and accidentally teleported here so…” The person looked audibly distraught, sighing. “Okay.. well we can walk together to the cabins then..how about that?” Seven perked up slightly, nodding her head with a small smile, “Yeah.. I think that’d be nice..” “Then, we shall depart!” They grabbed her by the hand, bringing her along with them as she whined about her lack of sleep.

After walking for a while, the person had perked up slightly, turning to 007n7 they asked a short question, “Say.. what is your name, I don’t think I’ve asked yet..”
“Oh.. my name is 007n7, but people tend to call me Seven for short.. what’s your name?” “Hm? My name is Itrapped, say I could’ve sworn I’ve heard about you around before, hmm you went by c00lkidd didn’t you?” Seven had a moment to think before sighing, “Well yeah… I did but I don’t like thinking about it too much and also… just that name reminds me of someone..” Itrapped opened their mouth slightly to speak but decided against it, turning back to the scenery in front of them.
“I understand that…I think.”
