Merchant's POV:
I sat on my couch, crying my eye out as I held the two animals close to my chest. My best friends..are dead.. I hated it. I blamed myself for my 3 friends deaths. If I went alone..I could've prevented the deaths.
"I.. I'm sorry guys.."
The Turtle and Dog were sitting on my lap, looking like they were crying too. Laying my head on the couch, crying uncontrollably, I then heard a knock on the door.
"C-come in.."
Cook and Pastafairan walked into the house,both looking like they've been in a fight. Cook had part of his antenna missing,Pasta had rope marks and bruises on her neck,both looking..burned?
Cook:"Merchant..do not go out there."
"Why..?"
Pastafairan:"Fire everywhere."
All three of us looked out of the window to see smoke,dead bodies,and blood. It looked like a warzone..Like nothing happy is left alive.
Cook:"Is Fashionista ok?"
"N-no.. she's..dead.."
He stared at me, speechless.
Cook:"What happened?"
"I'd gotten captured by the government,she came back for me and got me out..but..The Experimenter..threw a knife that was meant for me but..she pushed me out of the way.. causing it to hit her in the chest. She died in my arms.."
Cook:"Merchant.. I'm so sorry.."
We hugged each other,with Cook Trying to consult me while I was crying. I turned around to see.. Pastafairan on the ground, ducking from something.
Pastafairan:"Gunfire! Duck!"
We ducked down to hide from the gunshots as they rang out from the outside. I crawled over and took the Turtle and Dog off of the couch and hid them from sight.
Pastafairan:"Go out the back door.."
"Ok.."
We crawled out of the doorway, taking the animals with us as we ran out of the house and into the city. Carrying our bags and animals.
Cook:"Where should we go..?"
"I don't know.. I'm just not going to lose my last best friend.."
We kept walking and walking for hours until... A glass tube encased Pastafairan,with Cook getting knocked back from the impact.
Cook:"Sis!! You ok?"
Pastafairan:"Yeah.. I'm ok.. just a little stuck.."
"Can you find a lever to get out?"
As she was about to respond,water started to slowly fill up the tube. Causing Cook to start panicking as he tried to break the thick glass.
Pastafairan:"Oh no..no no.."
"We'll get you out.. you'll be ok.."
The water was up to her waist as We kept trying to break it,but nothing seemed to work. I started to try to find some sort of button on the top,like most tubes had.
Pastafairan:"I'm so sorry Cook.."
Cook:"It's ok.. just keep trying to get out ok..?"
Pastafairan:"Ok.."
The water was now up to her neck as she kept punching the glass. Cook Started to panic even more because of that.
Pastafairan:"Cook..thank you for being the best brother ever.."
The water had now filled up the tube completely as we both kept trying to help. She used her last bit of energy to kick at the glass. She then closed her eye and had gone limp. Cook had managed to break her out of there by then but..she was barely breathing.
Cook:"N-no..sis.. please no!!"
Pastafairan:"C-cook..?"
Cook:"I'm here sis.. I'm here.."
Pastafairan:"It's..cold.."
She tried opening her eye,but she could barely move,let alone speak. Cook tried to set her up but she cried in pain due to her injuries and the glass had entered her back.
Pastafairan:"I.. don't..want to die.."
Cook:"You aren't dying..I promise you won't.."
Pastafairan:"Everything's getting blurry..and lighter...and I just want to sleep.."
Alarmed by this,Cook tried helping her stay awake by telling her he'll get her to a hospital and they can help her. He began to carry her as I helped with her other arm after putting the animals in a safe area.
Pastafairan:"Can I.. sleep now..."
Cook:"We're almost there sis.. just stay awake.. please."
We were almost there when.. another explosion rang out. Knocking us all back and into a glass panel of a office building. I got out,wozzy from the blow and heard whimpering noises..that were coming from a pile of rumble. I crawled over to it and pulled her out..She was crying in pain and holding her chest..due to the explosion blast.
"Did anything hit you..? Where does it hurt?"
Pastafairan:"It's not that..I think.."
She rolled over to reveal..that a stick,the size of her spoon or sword,had impaled her in the chest,near the lungs. Cook,who had gotten knocked into another building,had ran over to us and saw the large stick that's impaling his sister. He ran over to her and pulled the stick out.
Pastafairan:"I'm..not going to make it.. I'm sorry Cook..."
She cried a bit,the tears burning the wounds on her neck and face..she smiled a bit and sighed.
Pastafairan:"Thanks..for making my life worth living...I love you Cook..."
Then she closed her eye and.. stopped moving. Cook held her and cried uncontrollably.
Cook:"Why does everything I do..end with death..?!"
"Cook.. I'm.."
I sat down near him, and hugged him tight. Trying to comfort him.
Climber's POV:
"Are you sure this plan will work?"
Skater:"Well.. it's the only chance we have."
I sat on the grass, waiting for something to happen, hoping that Runner and Chemist are safe. Hoping that no one else dies. Zombie and Artist were sitting next to each other,with Artist trying to look for anyone alive. He only found Gentleman,who was already dead. With a gigantic katana in his chest.
Zombie:"Um guys..?"
"What is it?"
Zombie:"Look at this."
We all looked at the news to see..It was Angel trapped in some sort of maze..and he was not doing well.. appearing to be limping as he was running from what looked like a boulder. The President was saying how he was a fugitive and deserved the fate he gets. Skater looked like he was flinching as he watched him get caught in traps, getting injured,even getting a spike through the abdomen.
President:"Do you have any final words.?"
Angel:"Yep.."
He turned towards the camera,and flipped off the president.
President:"What?!"
Then..The President began to press several buttons,which were probably more traps.
Angel:"To anyone that's watching this..do not let him win. Fight back. He's just a corrupt asshole who would hurt anyone to get his way. Oh and if the people I went with during the tunnels are watching this.. I'm sorry for being a jerk."
Just as he said that..a rope wrapped itself around his neck and pulled, trying to strangle him as he reached for something in his pocket. He managed to grab a scalpel and cut the rope off, leaving a pretty nasty bruise. Then he was knocked into a hatch below.
Then the screen went dark.
