Chapter Text
Finally, finally One can get the revenge she had been craving, the revenge she's deserved since the fateful day she was trapped in the moon. They will all get what they deserve soon… One snapped, making the chalkboard appear, floating with her in the endless void of space. She chuckled, crossing out Four, “Good riddance..” she hissed, but now they were alone, stuck in the moon like she had been, and she would be sure to keep them there until the end of time itself, and once she's rid the universe of X she’ll be able to see that look of horror and dread on their face again, It’s your fault and you know it… One's thoughts echoed, very likely why she had gone mad. The loneliness mixed with the never-ending guilt for Three that has lasted for the past 14 years had definitely not helped with Ones ‘Problems’. One looked down at her little drawing of Three on the chalkboard with the word ‘recover’ messily written above it, “I will fix her.. I will save her from plight,” One said, mainly to reassure herself, But will she forgive you? You killed her, who’s saying that she won't get revenge? One closed her eyes, taking in a heavy breath, It's going to be fine… She thought as she looked back at the two’s memories of the night before disaster, before snapping herself out of it, “NO, I have no time to reminisce, I need to find everyone else, then I can save her…” She yelled, speeding off into the stars, Two and Fours power radiating off her as she looked for her next target.
A few hours of silence passed, and it turns out looking for a very specific few people who could be anywhere in space was quite difficult, and One was definitely getting frustrated with herself. I'm more powerful than almost anything in this universe! How have I not found a few little numbers yet?? One groaned, spinning around as she looked at the farther planets from her position. One looked down into the void underneath her, seeing a few meteoroids floating by. Who am I kidding, I've already disposed of Four, I don't need any more revenge… She thought, floating down to one of the planets she had already checked, sighing as she touched ground for the first time in what had felt like forever. One looked around, unimpressed at how similar this planet is to any other ‘earth’ you would see. Grass, trees, water, all the same, except there seemed to be no biological life other than the plants, “Interesting…” One whispered despite knowing she didn’t need to.
The silence was deafening. One had been sitting in the same spot looking at the sky for the past three hours, the same question repeating in her mind, Would Three want this? Sure she had gotten rid of Four but the other algebralians helped him trap her in the moon, so would vengeance be necessary like it was for him, or could she let them get away with it? Who was she kidding of course they deserved it! They all kicked her to the curb from the beginning, and when she made one mistake they threw her away completely, acting like she was the problem the whole time! And anyways how else would One recover Three without her value going haywire again. Why even bother? Three hates you, you’re the one who killed her. Doubt whispered in her ear, What's the use if she’ll never forgive you? One pushed herself up from the tree she had been resting on, “SHUT UP! Please just.. Leave me alone” One yelled into the silence, “She’ll forgive me… she has to or all of this would have been for nothing…” One said, voice getting quieter as she looked down. Why do you have to be so persistent in ‘revenge’ anyways? What do you get out of this? Her thoughts echoed once more like they had many times before, “Please, please just leave me alone..” One said, voice breaking and a few tears falling out of her eyes, But WHY? Why leave you alone when you insist that you have done absolutely nothing wrong? Why leave you alone when you’ve lost all meaning to being an actually good person?? Can’t you see that you’ve made a mistake that you can’t fix? Or does the thought of revenge blind you from that too? One’s pleas broke down into a few small sobs mixed with words such as, “Please…” or, “I’m sorry” with the vision of Three breaking into pieces playing over and over again in her mind. No, seriously, don’t you have any interest other than ridding the universe of the people who stopped you from hurting anyone else? Or are you trying so desperately to fix something that's already broken beyond repair?
One sat there for a while, eyes closed tightly as she tried to regulate her breathing, eventually able to. Once she was able, One sat herself up, mentally shaming herself for being so weak, the words in her head, maybe there is nothing other than revenge that interests me… The at one sentence sparked an idea. Wait.. how could I be so blind? Of course they wouldn’t be on any random planet, they’d be somewhere that had something that would interest them, Nine, they’ll be first. One sat up a newfound need for revenge pulling her to her feet, They will all pay. Soon…One thought like she had many times before. She jumped up, levitating herself via powers into the atmosphere. Nine, she’ll be somewhere ‘cool’ and ‘rad’ or whatever she called it. Nine never wronged you One, You- “Shut, up. They all wronged me, any of them could have helped me, they could have believed me when I said I didn't mean to, or when I said that I'd fix it, but they didn't, they all chose not to.” One hissed at the voice in her head, looking around at the near planets. I will avenge myself, and then Three will have to forgive me. One looked down at another moon, pausing at the thought of another specific algebralian… He’s gone now she thought before prying her eyes away from the moon. Only Math themself can save them from what I’ll do…. Her mind hissed one last time before continuing her search for the other algebralians.
One had spent the past few hours looking around the endless void of space for some planet that Nine would consider ‘Cool’ until she found an interesting planet, one that had clearly been edited by power of some kind. “Finally, now I can-” You can what?! The voice in her head yelled back Can’t you understand that what you’re about to do isn’t right, that you aren’t right in the mind?!?! If you're so set on fixing her then can't you understand that you can't bring back another algebralian without that happening again, without her value being in shambles…. We’re in the same boat and you know, I’m just the you that you buried in rage and depression, I’m the real you. You’re just our rage, our sadness, our hopeless love…. The voice said love with a certain coldness to it, both of them knew that it was useless, but One wouldn’t let the voice get to her, “OH! don’t lecture me on your actions, The way we are now is a result of what I did?? NO it was all their fault, they left me to myself for years before they locked me in the moon, you are NOT me! You are useless, maybe I should just get rid of you now, because not once have you actually helped me, not once have you given me any advice other than to give up, and that revenge isn’t right!” One closed her eyes taking a deep breath, “Just, shut up for once and let me do my ‘hopeless revenge’ in peace” The voice went quiet after that, not bothering with something that it had tried thousands of times, what's the use of reasoning with a maniac?
One looked back at the planet eyes wide with rage, “Found Yoouu!!!” She said, snapping the whiteboard back into existence and crossing out Nine before looking back down at the planet. A large blast of multicolored energy hits the planet, completely destroying it, sending the innocent little skateboard aliens to their death, and Nine to his nearing doom….
“No! What???!! What’s going on?!?” They yelped in fear, before their eyes landed on One, who was staring at the manically. “Wh-”
“Hello… Old ‘friend’.” One said coldly, pulling Nine towards her with her power, ready to rid this universe of the menace.
Nine screamed in fear, trying to escape the grasp of One's power, “No, NOOO,” She screamed one last time before being sent to the endless abyss…
“Finally, she's alone, and soon…” One hissed dangerously
“They’ll all be alone…”
