Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

The day dawned, and Builderman was the first to wake up. He was sitting on the sofa in the downstairs living room, drinking a piping hot cup of coffee. His watch showed exactly 8:56 AM; it was still early for anything.

He heard knocking at the door....

He sighed heavily, stood up, and went to the door, opening it.It was 007n7, as expected.

"Hi, sorry to bother you, I just came to bring some medicine and some medical kits that I don't really use and I know you need them much more than I do." 007n7 was holding a box that wasn't very big, but it seemed to contain quite a few supplements.

"Thank you," Builderman said, taking the box and staring at her. "Are you sure you don't want to keep some?"

"Oh no, no, I... I can manage on my own." 007n7 let out a tired smile.
"By the way, do you need me to do any tasks today?"

"Hmmmm," Builderman groaned, looking around."Well, there are some piles of clothes in the hallway, they're clean, but you can fold them, and then wipe down the house."

"Okay, I'll be going then." 007n7 walked towards the lobby.

 

The more time passed, the more survivors awoke; finally, the last one to awaken was Noob.

 

"What time is it?" Noob yawned, stretching.

"It's 3:09 PM, how can you sleep so long?" Shedletsky responded awkwardly while eating his chicken.

"Eat with your mouth shut, you pig," Chance grumbled.

Shedletsky kept biting his mouth open to annoy him, and ended up getting punched in the chest.

"ouch, You fool" Shedletsky whispered, laughing.

"You," Chance buffed.

"No fighting, guys, Spawn doesn't like that." TwoTime whimpered, clasping his hands together.

Chance and Shedletsky rolled their eyes; they didn't believe in this TwoTime cult.

 

"Excuse me, where is Builderman?" A nervous voice came from the back, and the three looked back. 007n7, with his saddened and tired gaze, stared at them.

"Seven, It's been so long since I've seen you, man," Chance approached him, resting his elbow on 07's shoulder.

"ahn, we'll see each other in the last round, I think" 007n7 stared down as if trying to remember something.

"Mr. Seven, you look so tired, I'd like to sit down and listen to the spawn prayer." TwoTime smiled menacingly at 007n7.

"Maybe later, I need to sort out the things Builderman asked me to."

"Builderman is sitting there on the couch." Shedletsky pointed at him.

Builderman looked at them.

"What was?" He raised an eyebrow, staring at them.

"Mr. Builderman" 007n7 approached him. "I've already folded all the clothes, but I can't find a broom to sweep the cabin."

"hmm" Builderman groaned thoughtfully crossed his arms and stood up from the sofa. "Elliot is in the kitchen, help him with whatever he needs."

007n7 nodded, turning and heading towards the kitchen.

 

"I'm looking forward to seeing the next VHS tape." Shedletsky whispered, laughing softly.

"Don't even talk to me about it, I'm curious to know what happened next." Chance said as quietly as possible.

"We can call 007n7 to watch with us." TwoTime smiled broadly.

"You wouldn't be crazy enough to do that." Chance backed away widening eyes.

"No nonsense, if 007n7 hears this, he can seize the tapes and you won't know the ending," Builderman grumbled.

"True, we should talk about that later." Chance walked away from them. "I'll stay up there, if you need me please don't need me," he stuck his tongue out as he left.

"I will perform my ritual for every sect, the spawn needs me" TwoTime He He left holding his dagger.

Now only the two admins are left in the room. Builderman was the first to return from where he was, while Shedletsky remained in the same spot eating his chicken.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

"Elliot, do you need some help?" 007n7 approached him.

"Not at the moment, actually, I've already finished everything here." Elliot said as he took his pizza out of the oven.

"Okay then," 007n7 left the kitchen.

 

"Have you done what I asked you to do?" Builderman stared at him.

"He said he was done with everything and didn't need help." 007n7 said calmly this time.

"Okay, you can go back to your cabin." Builderman turned around without wanting to hear a word.

007n7 nodded and turned towards the exit.

Builderman watched him as he exited the cabin; 007n7 appeared to be limping, perhaps due to some kind of injury. Not that he cared, but you could see from 007n7's reaction the pain he felt when walking; even if he didn't show it much, he couldn't take it anymore. Builderman sighed deeply.

"I DON'T WANT ANYONE EATING THE PIZZAS FROM THE NEXT ROUNDS, YOU HEAR SHEDLETSKY AND CHANCE?" Elliot yelled from the kitchen.

"BECAUSE I'M IN THE MIDDLE, IT'S MORE LIKELY THAT SHED WILL EAT IT ALL BY HIMSELF," Chance yelled back

"ME?? EVERY GAME YOU STEAL MY SHARE" Shedletsky grumbled.

"You have your chicken, you don't need pizzas." Chance responded, rolling his eyes.

"Enough with the shouting, it's giving me a headache," Guest1337 interrupted them.

"Time has stood still for a while now, I don't think we'll be going to a match today," Builderman said, showing his watch.

"I believe so, THAT MEANS WE CAN WATCH THE TAPES ALL DAY LONG"Shedletsky jumped for joy, and Chance joined him.

"Heavens, you guys are really lazy," Builderman brought his hand to his face.

"Can we go now?????????????" The two were on their knees in front of Builderman.

"Hey, if everyone agrees, we can watch." Builderman crossed his arms.

"I want to watch" "Yeah, me too" "I'm bored so I'll watch it." "I'm not doing anything anyway" "I'm so bored I'm getting sleepy." "I want to know what happened to him."

It was a crowd, everyone talking at once, and Builderman couldn't hear everyone or process what they were saying.

"Everyone wants to watch," Chance smiled, shrugging.

"Okay, since there's nothing else to do, let's watch."

 

Everyone went up to the second floor, taking their places in the same spots as yesterday.

Shedletsky turned on the TV since the tape was already connected to the DVD player. The screen went black and then quickly returned to color.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
--------

"Hello Gays, I'm back." 007n7 was lying on his bed, it seemed like someone was beside him. "If you're curious to know what happened after the last recording... Well, I was grounded for a week, so I couldn't record, but a lot happened and I'll tell you about it." He sat up in bed, now able to see a little of who was beside him... Masked.... "Noli and I became super close friends. " He zoomed in on Noli's face.

"As you can see, he has a very high degree of autism." Noli laughed, and 007n7 punched him in the shoulder.

"Quiet. Moving on, we had a surprise math test and I got a 10." He stuck his tongue out, and Noli rolled her eyes.

"Cheating is easy, even I could get a 10, but I prefer to be honest and use my head." Noli mocked

""Envious, just because you got a 1.5 you think I cheated to get a 10. This guy here is good. Start thinking more with your head, not your lower head." 007n7 smiled, positioning the camera at an angle that showed off his entire look. Noli remained silent, speechless.

-----------

"I don't understand... Start thinking with your head, not your lower head..." TwoTime seemed confused.

"Haha, you're very innocent, TwoTime," Chance nudged him.

"I didn't understand either--- WAIT, NOW I UNDERSTAND!" Shedletsky began to laugh hysterically.

"there, there" Guest1337 sighed loudly.

----------

007n7 was wearing a black shirt with a three-colored cat print (his kitten), his hamburger hat, pink glasses, some necklaces and punk-style bracelets, baggy orange cargo pants, and Converse sneakers. [Milestone 1]

"Yes, I made a shirt with a print of my cat; she's getting better, she can walk and eat normally now." 007n7 recorded the floor, his voice echoing in the background. "She was here until now, but Noli's ugliness scared her away." He laughed, showing Noli's angry face.

"He has no taste," they both laughed.

---------

"The old 007n7 is quite humorous," Noob commented.

"typical old-age humor" Chance replied

"Haha, come on, he must be the same age as you." Noob laughed, covering his mouth with his hand.

"He was the same age as me about 30 years ago." Chance smiled.

"I'm going to pee my pants from laughing so hard, You're acquiring his same old-man humor." Noob said, holding back laughter.

Chance sighed, rolling his eyes, but laughed at him.

 

----------

"bye Gays, I have to go out for a bit, my camera battery is dying, I'll be back later"

The screen went black.

--------

"I loved how he manages to say 'guys' sounding like he's saying 'gays'," Dusekkar smiled slightly.

"Actually, he says 'gays' and not 'guys,' it's kind of funny." Builderman corrected it.

Shedletsky inserted the next tape.

----------

"Look at this"007n7 turned the camera towards the street; there was a downpour, a rainstorm that could bring the world down. "This rain is heavy, AND MY MOM STILL WANTS ME TO GO TO SCHOOL," he complained. "I saw a phrase that said 'running in the rain makes you wetter than walking,' so I'll walk anyway; I'll get wet in the rain just the same." He said this as he locked the door. "My umbrella is broken and I don't have money to take the bus today." It was a little difficult to hear what he was saying because of the noise of the rain.

---------

"Wait, he's walking in the rain with the camera on" Veeronica's eyes widened.

"Some cameras or devices have features that allow them to work underwater without being damaged. " Builderman replied

"And did that technology exist in his time?" Chance asked, laughing.

"Hey Chance, you're no good, haha" Elliot laughed at him.

----------

"I'm getting cold," 007n7 showed his face, his wet hair, and his clothes soaked with water. "It's still a long way to go to school. What a drag, I wish I could have stayed home today." The camera was pointed at the ground; you could see 007n7 kicking puddles of water.

"HEY, SEVEN!" a loud voice echoed from the background. 007n7 turned around along with the camera to look... Masked.

"huh, Noli"

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming on foot? I would have picked you up at home. Here, keep my umbrella." Noli handed him his umbrella; it was strange, it had his face printed on it, very self-assured.

"Ah... Thank you, because you have an umbrella with your face printed on it." 007n7 recorded the print laughing

"No comment, I got this from a friend."

-----------

"WHO HAS AN UMBRELLA WITH THEIR OWN FACE PRINTED ON IT??" Noob asked.

"Noli, haha" TwoTime responded

-----------

The screen changed scenery; it was clear that he was in the classroom.
"I don't think I've mentioned this to you guys, but Noli and I aren't in the same class, unfortunately." He rotated the camera around himself. "Almost no one came today, just me and maybe 6 or 7 other people, well, but at least I got 3 chocolates for coming hehe" He showed his chocolates, which appeared to be from the Neugebauer brand.

---------

"What a strange brand of chocolate, I don't think I've ever seen it before." Dusekkar stared blankly.

"It's an inexpensive chocolate brand, but it's very good. To be honest, all the expensive chocolate brands I've ever eaten don't compare to Neugebauer." Chance said.

"I think I've tried that brand before, my favorite was white chocolate with Oreo," Elliot replied.

"It was delicious. Neugebauer chocolates used to cost almost 1 real, now they cost like 7 or 8 reais, it's getting expensive." Chance buffed

"Sometimes I'm amazed that Chance can be mega rich and act like a poor homeless person at times." Noob smiled shorty.

------------

"I was lucky enough to win my favorite flavors: dark chocolate, mandolate and chocolate with peanut pieces" 007n7 smiled, opening one of his chocolates. "They say chocolate calms stress, I'm not stressed, but I'm hungry."

-----------

"I learned the power of envy, I really wanted to be eating a sweet treat right now," Elliot whimpered.

"I agree, I'm getting tired of just eating salty food, I wanted something different," Shedletsky complained.

------------

Again the scene changed, 007n7 was sitting at the vanity with his cell phone propped up on the mirror, he looked sad.
"I had a sister, her name was Olivia. I don't know where she is now." He rested a hand on his chin. "I hope she was adopted by a good family who will take care of her."
Silence hung in the air.
"I miss her every day" He teared up, then turned off the camera, ending the VHS tape.

----------

"Wow, I didn't know 007n7 had a sister, I wonder if she's single." Chance bit his lower lip, giving her a mischievous look.

"He has it, she was a nightmare, she rarely used hacks and when she did it was a disaster to fix," Builderman grumbled.

"Dangerous and beautiful, bandit-like manner" Chance hummed, tossing her hair back.

"A bandit named lovee" Noob sang with him

"And then you say that 007n7 is the old man." Elliot scoffed, rolling his eyes.

"Are you going to say that Rainha Músical is bad?" Chance questioned.

"Only old people listen to that." Elliot raised an eyebrow at him.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ 007n7 entered the cabin, expecting to find someone. The room was empty. He hesitated a little before going upstairs, The fear of Builderman being yelled at and reprimanded was taking hold of him, but he mustered his courage and climbed halfway up. He stopped when he heard laughter and conversationNot wanting to bother anyone, he turned and walked back to his cabin.

"I think I heard some noise coming from the stairs," Guest1337 interrupted the three

"I didn't hear anything" "Me neither"
Chance and Elliot spoke at the same time.

"I'll find out what it is," Shedletsky said, taking his sword from his pocket.

"I'll go with you," replied Guest1337

As soon as they opened the door, They saw only a black shadow emerging from the door; the two ran out, ready to attack..

"Hey, wait!" Shedletsky shouted. as soon as he looked more closely at the figure... 007n7 "Ah... it's just you," he breathed calmly.

007n7 turned around, his heart racing, the fear of being scolded and beaten gnawing at him.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you," her voice came out a little shaky.

Shedletsky sighed heavily. "Look, you can't just go into the cabin quietly like that and then walk out as if nothing happened."

"Shed is right, we got scared, we almost attacked you just now." Guest1337 crossed his arms, looking at 007n7.

"I'm sorry, I... I--" 007n7 stammered, but shedletsky interrupted him.

"Next time knock on the door, okay? End of discussion, go back to your cabin." Shedletsky turned and went inside, not wanting to hear anything more.

007n7 lowered his head and walked to his cabin. Guest1337 merely watched him, then quickly returned upstairs with the others.

 

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

"They're back already." Chance looked at them.

"Did they find out what it was?" Noob asked, already scared.

"Nothing important, Guest was just hallucinating," Shedletsky scoffed, laughing. Guest remained silent.

"Okay. I'll add the other tape now. " Elliot approached the box, picked up the next tape, and inserted it.

----------

007n7 was wearing his shark onesie pajamas.
"Good evening, you gays, I'm going to grab a late-night snack now." He turned the camera around, showing open packets of instant noodles. "It's 4 AM now and I'm still awake. In my defense, I spent the whole night studying, and now I've finally taken a break. "He straightened his crooked spine.

"I have a science test tomorrow, I don't want to do badly, so that's why I stayed up all night studying... And also because I didn't pay much attention in science class." He forced a laugh.

He crouched down, disappearing from the camera's view for a moment, and then reappeared with Napolitana in his arms. "Look who showed up, hehe" Napolitana meowed, wanting to go to the ground. "Guys, I think she's pregnant, her belly is a weird round shape," he put her back on the ground. "She must be about 9 or 10 months old now. When I adopted her and she got sick, the vet said she looked about 6 months old."

--------

"Poor thing, he should have spayed her." Noob teared up.

"He's irresponsible," Elliot said mercilessly.

"Maybe it's a lack of money; when I had Spade, my rabbit, neutered, it cost 1,600." Chance replied sideways.

"Wow, that's practically minimum wage!" Elliot was shocked.

"Exactly, and I also looked for the best veterinarians; I didn't want my baby Spade to be in any danger."

 

------------

"Look how delicious my instant noodles are, I should become a chef!" 007n7 served himself and recorded himself eating.
"Tomorrow after class there's going to be a magic show in my city, I think I'll go, maybe I'll invite Noli, he seems to like that kind of thing," he said while eating. "He's a magician and an artistic, he's actually quite cute, he's French, but he looks like a little Japanese guy with those closed eyes."

007n7 stopped eating and took his plate to the sink. "I'm going to sleep now, tomorrow I'll show you the French magician, I hope I can get a good chance at the front." He gave a tired smile and ended the video sticking out his tongue and zooming in on his face.

-----------

"How time flies, it's already 8 pm," Builderman said aloud as he stared at his watch.

""We didn't do anything today except watch 007n7," Guest1337 said, covering his own face with his hands.

"You can't deny it's interesting to see, he seemed cooler in the past... Before he became a hacker." Elliot looked at everyone staring at him with tired eyes, almost regretting what he said

"Spawn liked seeing the old 007n7." TwoTime clasped his hands together, closing his eyes.

"Oh, that's great, TwoTime!" Elliot spoke in syllables.

"We can watch one last VHS tape, and after that we'll rest." Guest1337 spoke loudly, and everyone nodded. Shedletsky inserted the next tape.

------------

The screen lit up, 007n7 was sitting in the cafeteria eating.

"Noli didn't come today, he said his eyebrows hurt, seriously he can't even come up with a better lie," 007n7 grumbled while chewing on a piece of chicken. "I made a new friend today, his name is Yeslo, we're in the same class, but he rarely comes to school." 007n7 paused to get a drink of water. "This school serves very good food; we have a different lunch every day." He picked up the camera and started recording his plate of beans, rice, fried chicken, and salad. "Look, Yeslo's coming, I'll record him if he doesn't mind."

"Sorry for the delay, the line was long, I was so hungry I almost ate whoever was in front of me." Yeslo laughed, his voice faltering. "And that camera over there, it's become a blogger." His voice was a little more hoarse than Noli's.

"I like to record my routine, do you mind showing your picture too?" 007n7 asked, and then Yeslo appeared. His appearance was similar to that of a Jester, but he was cute and smiling.

Like Noli, her masked figure made the same movements, changing her facial expression.

"Yeslo, there will be an artistic show in the downtown square today"

"Yes, I heard about it. I made plans to go with a friend, but if you want, you can come with us. She's really nice, you'll like her."

007n7 smiled "I would like, I want to be able to stand well in front of the stage."

"Me too, I'll go really early so I can get as close as possible to Artful."

"We'll schedule it then."

The bell rang*

"WHAT? I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO EAT!" Yeslo shouted in complaint, 007n7 laughed at him.

"I'm going to take it to eat in the living room, I want to see who's going to stop me." Yeslo picked up his plate.

"You're crazy, the ladies in the kitchen won't let you take it, and the teacher will stop you from coming in," 007n7 said as he carried his plate to the pile of dirty dishes.

"There should have been more recess and snack time; I couldn't even get proper rest."

007n7 and Yeslo returned to the classroom. Yeslo eating and walking.

""What do you think you're doing, Yeslo?" A voice from behind, upon looking, was their teacher.

"I'm hungry, I didn't have time to eat," he whined while eating.

"What were you doing while you could have been eating in peace?" She crossed his arms angrily.

"I waited in line," he replied loudly.

She slapped her hand to her face, "Go downstairs, sit in the nice cafeteria and eat everything, then go back upstairs to class. " She turned around and went into the room.

Yeslo smiled, "a concept of a strategy to skip class, bye-bye 7n7" He whispered

"AHHH you rascal--- you're no good, Yeslo" 007n7 laughed in surprise.

"Gays, I have to go, see you later, bye."

 

The video ended with the pose and grimace that 007n7 makes at the end of every film.

Notes:

My translator is changing the context of some words and conversations. 😭 I hope you enjoy this chapter; I'm trying to improve my writing.
I love Sertanejo music, and I'll include some references to songs from that genre in my fanfic (I'll explain if you want).

Notes:

I apologize for the short chapter and some spelling errors; I don't know any English slang.
Work is in progress and I hate Paychek, but I love pairing the two to make 007n7 jealous. 😵‍💫🙏🏻
