Chapter Text
What is Algebra? Well to them, maybe the viewers, it's another way to learn math. A clear definition of it is basically “Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses mathematical statements to describe relationships between things that vary.” Basically saying it means Letters come into mathematics, which in case comes Algebra.
X is called a variable, meaning he has to find his value, he's not an algebraliens, unlike the other algebraliens that already have their own value by their appearance, X has to find it. One day it could be Seven, next it could be 200! It can be anything X wants to be but he has to find it.
Quite frankly, to put it simply it's like 1+1= 2, but change it into letters its a+b=c ?? Or moreover like x + 3 = 7, if I remember the equation was that you have to subtract them to get the x value. Idk I hate math, oh yeah its me Two narrating this by the way.
That's like it to humans? Or perhaps viewers! Whatever, but to us Algebraliens, it's technically an alliance. Back then when there were loads of us and loads of alphabets, I think they were called Alphabeticals, they joined an alliance to help with mathematics! Which is why variables exist now!
Like equations of a2 + 3b = 0 or crap like that.
Although it's a bit hectic now.
Two put away their book after finishing writing, everyone is a bit active today. It was because Ten saw something, or SOMEONE. It was a really strange day indeed!
Ten was taking a normal stroll when he saw the metal hand Fifteen saw last night. As he went to touch it, it hit them! They ran away but it confirmed it's a living being. Fifteen tried shooting at it but missed, of course running away.
“It seems like someone is spying on us, why?” Eight asked, Ten shrugged as he still rubbed his face on the spot that he got hit. “Beats me, but it stings as hell!”
Two looked at their book, deciding to not think much of it as they put it up. The others have been discussing who to send out to get food etc, they haven't eaten much. Algebraliens can go on weeks without food, but they need food to survive.
Two thought of something, they wouldn't mind if they and Three went on a little stroll, after all they'll leave a note saying they're just taking Three on a walk!
Two grabbed the wheelchair which had Three sleeping on it and sneakily hurried away outside the cave without no one looking.
The outside world was another thing they don't really know about, it was interesting to see what it holds. Two sees some leaves that have little note pads on them, tapping on it out of curiosity.
The little notes on the leaves played quietly as the little patterns slowly rose up in the air. Two smiled looking at more trees and little plants.
Three slowly woke up, the sun hitting her face brightly. She looked around wondering where she was and looked at Two.
Two noticed Three woke up and approached her. “Hey Three! Had a good sleep?” Three only nodded.
Two pushed the wheelchair close to the leaves to show Three, Three was confused and slowly tapped on the little leaves, the music notes making a high pitched sound, not too loud for the ears but it was listenable.
“This seems pretty cool y’know! I wonder what other places that are more explorable!” Two smiled, grabbing the handles of the wheelchair and jogging onto the pathway, making sure Three held on.
As they both explored the area, they saw multiple things that were so fascinating! A pond with pebbles that have the alphabet as it, 26 of them too. Three tries to get up and balance herself, Two helping them along while grabbing the wheelchair and hopping on the pebblestones.
“Uh.. are you sure this is safe?”
“Yeah Three! Come on, you're the adventurous person I know, you would've been first before me!”
Three clutched the blanket she wore during the whole ride, sighing as she takes one step at the A pebblestone and surpisingly… its safe! Well duh.
Two and Three hopped on the alphabet pebble stones until they got on the other side, Three laid on the grassy ground, a bit… bored. “Hm? Are you bored or something?”
Three sighs, looking at Two and becoming a little… sad, depressed even. “It's just… I don't know Two. The last 5 years I've been stuck in a jail cell rotting it in, Four and X trying to heal me but it never works. What if this never works and we all just got here for nothing?”
Two sat on the ground next to Three, glancing at her and back at the river. “.... well. Even if we don't fix you, you still get to see other places in the world. You always wanted to go to other planets, to see what it's like with other species, and now you did…!”
Three smiled, it was once and only temporarily. Her suffering was just merely the only thing she only felt these 5 years after being like this. She couldn't fandom how she got like this, how badly she did wrong to her to cause this.. this mess.
Sometimes Three wants to go back in time, to change what she did wrong. She never meant for that to happen. The timing was bad, the setting was horrid and scary, no one helped her.
No One Helped Her.
Even though she's still being helped, why wasn't she helped when she was suffering before? Two literally avoided the entire situation all together, the others just screamed at One when she was accidentally…. Accidentally?
“HEYY EARTH TO THREE!!” Three jumped at Two shouting at her, grumbling. “Dude, what was that for??” She exclaimed as she sat up, Two sheepishly rubbing the back of their head.
“Sorry Sorry Dear! You were uh… not listening to me for a second there.” Three just sighs, looking at the scenery. It was a green and yellowish color of the grass, the trees were multiple colors too, filled with all sorts of stuff on the bark like alphabets, numbers, equations, periodic table, music notes, whatever you can think of.
Three stood up, going back to her wheelchair, she was tired, she easily can get tired especially in this state of hers. Two gets up and goes to handle the wheelchair. They look at the scenery one more time before leaving on a different pathway.
“I think we can go this pathway, I mean there's a small pathway we can go that also leads to the cave! I wonder if the others noticed we have been gone for so long..”
“Two, please don't tell me you didn't tell them we were leaving…”
“Okay but in my defense they were busy and I didn't wanna interrupt them!”
“TWO!!”
After a while of walking, they were… you guess it! Lost. Fucking lost. Three had enough of Two's bullshit and got off from her wheelchair, depending on the trees to lean onto so she doesn't fall.
“I can't believe you got us lost… the others are probably worried sick by now…” Three grumbled, trying to find another pathway.
Two on the other hand was just following Three's lead, a bit worried but they were confident they weren't lost!
“You're overreacting Three! We're not lost, just taking an unknown shortcut that we don't know of but definitely will take us back home!” Three just ignored Two after that, glitching out of frustration.
“Look Three please just calm down im sure we will—”
“Calm down..? C-Calm DOWN?” She shouted, her voice a rough glitched mess due to the frustration that was building up. “I'm clearly NOT the one who got us lost here DUMBASS!”
She slammed her hand onto the tree, but it suddenly started glitching like her. Both of them realized and stepped away from the tree. The once colorful tree now turned into a horrible and terrifying mess of crumbled up bark and leaves of glitching mess, trying to be something and nothing at once.
It made an ambient sound like it was suffering out of pure agony, trying so hard to get rid of its existence as it once were before it suddenly disappeared.
Two and Three looked at the empty place where the tree was, it just disappeared, out of thin air, due to the glitch. Two looked at Three and Three looked at Two, both trying to figure out what was happening.
“... Three, what did you do?” Two asked quietly, scared at what Three's capacity is, Three looked at her hand, the same hand that slammed at the tree, that same tree that disappeared and hid it in her blanket, hiding her body.
Two slowly approached Three, wondering if she was okay. Also being cautious about what happened
“... Three—”
“Dont touch me.”
Two flinched at what Three muttered, she turned her back at them in silence.
Two sighs, rubbing their arm and tapping their foot, a bit embarrassed and sad that Three moved away from them.
“...three, I'm sorry I reacted like that. I mean this is the first time I've ever seen you use your powers after so long, I never knew what to expect.” Two got closer, Three didn't move but she tensed a little.
“...... Gosh I'm sorry we got lost okay! I just wanted you to see the world and not be stuck in this cave all the time and we got lost and I'm sorry…” Two cried, wiping the tears that were already forming on their eyes.
Three was like this position for a moment before glancing back, sighing. “... you're a piece of work yk.” she grumbled as she didn't tense anymore and faced them properly.
“I forgave you, just stop being sad now…” she spread her arms out, reaching for a hug. Two immediately went into her arms and hugged her, not hugging her tightly to make her uncomfortable.
“Sorry.. about everything. I know it's not much..”
“It's fine, well not really, but it's okay for a little bit..”
Both of them let go of each other, now trying to figure out where they are.
“We'll talk about that tree later, right now we need to focus on where we are going…” Three states, they walked a few steps on the pathways until they see a house, the same bunker.
“... Is this abandoned?” Three asked while Two shrugged, approaching the house. “Beats me, the last time I got here it was empty.”
“Empty? You were here before? This place looks dangerous.”
“Yeah I know, I was so surprised!”
“Really? Wait no what are we saying this is Four's bfdi obsession again im thinking of…”
“.... Four has a what?”
Three just brushes it off as they both continue to explore the area, they remove the booty-traps as they approached the bunker.
“... Two, I don't think this is safe… this seems dangerous…”
Two looked at Three for a moment, she seemed a bit scared that something or someone was home, it looked like no one was home but it felt odd.
“... I'm sure no one was home! I mean yeah they have traps from our entrance but Fifteen has those too!”
“Okay… that's true, but why the hell is there a camera?” As they both glanced at the camera, it moved. It was in their direction, staring at them.
It was watching them.
Two felt a certain pain in their gut, something was wrong. Maybe it was that someone that almost caught Two when they were escaping when they heard a noise? It felt horribly wrong and dangerous all of a sudden, the air got low.
“... you know maybe you're right we should—” As soon as Two tried to speak their final words the camera shut down and there was movement in the house. They were coming.
Two and Three immediately realized this and ran away, hiding behind one of the trees a few inches away, maybe 10 inches away.
The person slammed the door open, seemingly frustrated at something or someone. When Two took a closer look they say it was a V shaped letter, their expression was pretty serious, almost deadly like. They were a darkish purple color and had a few scars on their body.
“Two… What the hell do we do??” Three whispered but Two shushed her, not wanting to reveal their secret place.
The V shaped letter held a gun on their hand, gripping it tight as it seemed to have some walkie talkie on the other hand. They began to speak.
“Reporting back to the woods, they found this place again, they've come back.” The voice was a grovel tone, this person seems like they shouldn't be messed with by the way they speak, their appearance, it makes them seen as a very dangerous person.
Two and Three didn't know what this letter talked about when they said ‘they've come back.’ Was it referring to both of them? Because in their knowledge this is the FIRST time they ever seen a letter other than the variables, but this is an uppercase alphabet letter, they have only seen lowercase alphabet letters
The letter then holds up the gun pointing around for a moment, there was some feedback on the walkie talkie but Two and Three were pretty far away to not hear much of it, only the concept of the voice
“... ugh fine, ill just deal with them myself.” they groaned, removing the safety feature of the gun. Two didn't really see a weapon like this before except for Fifteen's Flamethrower but this time its a gun, a gun. They never saw a gun worked before and never even thought of the concept of this existing.
Two tries to make a run for it, grabbing Three's hand and making sure the letter wasn't looking at their direction before trying to run, but before they could even move an inch Two accidentally moved the wheelchair Three used to sit in since they normally can't walk due to her current situation.
But when the letter sees something moving, they instantly lock it in.
With terrifying speed they cock the gun and pull the trigger, the bullet shooting the wheelchair and it slightly flew away from them both.
“OH MY MATHS WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!” Two immediately ran for their life holding onto Three's hand for the sake of their lives while the letter chased after them, trying to shoot at them.
They kept running and running, they both didn't want to reach a dead end, they tried flying out of here but the letter kept shooting at them in the sky too.
“Holy shit holy shit holy shit we're dead we're fucking DEAD!” Three screamed out, suddenly having a panic attack now. Two immediately notices this and picks Three up in a bridal style way while running.
“C-Calm DOWN Three!! This is not the time!!” they huffed as they just rushed for their life, trying to find multiple ways to escape.
They navigated through small tunnels that light up with each sound like footsteps and gunshots, then they tried hiding behind trees but the V shaped letter found them easily through the trees. They kept running and running until eventually, a dead end.
Two practically gave up all of their energy and fell to the ground, Three getting off of them.
“Fuck… did we lost them?” Three wiped her tears, shaking. She didn't wanna die again, it was haunting her especially during 5 years ago.
“Guh… it's okay… hey hey.” Two approaches her and tries to reassure her, seeing that she's having a PTSD attack
Three felt everything at once, she's freaking out and she kept glitching while trying to breathe properly, Two desperately tried to calm her down but they both heard a noise.
Two and Three froze as the V shaped letter approached them, pointing the gun straight to Two's head.
“You really thought you could come back again and kill us all…? Do you really think we're stupid you braindead numbers.”
Two was confused, they were confused about everything. They never killed anyone at all, why wasn't this letter attacking them.
“W-We didn't kill anyone…! I dont know what youre talking about!?” Two shouted, standing up and putting themselves in a position shielding Three.
“.... you fool. Do you really, REALLY expect me to believe you? Some species like you?”
Two winced at the feeling, but they did not give up. “I dont know who are you, but you need to stop this at once.”
The moment stopped, the V letter looked at Two like they were dumb and rolled their eyes, Three freezes up, deathly scared of what was gonna happened.
“... you really think im gonna stop? You're all the same, you are a vulnerable species, running away at every situation and not doing anything about it. You guys run and run until you cant.”
The V letter approached the two numbers, Two shields Three more, they just rolled their eyes. “You really are just a weird number arent ya?” Two didn't realize what was happening before they suddenly got attacked by the V shaped letter, they were grabbed by the arm, trying to desperately use their powers to attack but they put the gun at their head, one wrong move and it'll be the end of Two Integer.
Three froze again, her heart beating so fast she might have a heart attack right then and there. She didn't know what to do she didn't want to die and possibly relive the fact she was dead or seeing Two die infront of her to see what was it like when she herself sees how people die.
“P-Please… dont.. dont hurt her… we didn't do anything wrong….”
The V letter just grumbled
“Thats what they all say before they stab you in the back.”
They throw Two harshly at the tree nearby, making Two's vision blurry and messed up, they couldn't move or run away, they were weak. If they move now like this theyre dead immediately.
.
.
.
Three didn't know what to do. She didn't know what to do.
She was scared, she was terrified even. To see the same situation like she suffered will possibly go to Two gave her flashbacks, still back when Two came back to see her body, all suffering from One's treatment and running away due to it being so stressful to handle. Two couldn't handle all of that.
Now they're suffering something they didn't even do. No one didn't do anything. It was suddenly a strange coincidence of this V shaped letter to say that they all killed people when they never did in their life, well except One certain person. But that dosent matter now.
They need to save Two, but shes stuck, shes frozen, shes shaking like a leaf in a rainstorm. She kept having the same flashback over and over and over.
The same flashbacks of her dying
The same flashbacks of her coming back to life
Her value gone
Everyone staring at her like shes… not herself anymore
Her used to be friend, One.
She cant really do anything but stare at this person, this unknown person torture a friend, even though Two wasnt there for Three in the past, gave Three some cocoa coffee and left to whoever knows what like the rest, they did came back.
Two apologized for everything, even if its not much, its a start.
She dosent want the same thing happen again.
For the first time, Three stood up.
Her used to be there eye that was hidden with an eyepatch cracked a little, she was mad, frustrated even. She didn't want anyone to suffer again.
“Y-You. Get away.”
The V letter looked backed at Three, his eyes darkening with anger.
They noticed that Three was glitching out of pure anger, out of pure frustration.
They were confused, they didn't really understand this at all this was new to him.
“What the…”
They grabbed their gun but it was too late.
“Stay AWAY FROM THEM!” Three suddenly bursts a big flashing light beam towards the letter, Two immediately flying away in time to avoid the blast, the V letter wasnt dead at all, instead they were….. glitching.
They were a mess, they kept glitching over and over and crawling at their skin until it suddenly stopped for just a moment. It felt like their skin was dying over and over in a repeated way and them coming back to life again.
“.... what… what the fuck did you—”
A gigantic sudden pain hit onto the corner of their head, while they were suffering from the glitch Two grabbed the gun and when it stopped they immediately slammed the gun into their head in the middle of the V letter shaped head. They screamed out in pain before falling to the ground and clutching their head, absolutely furious now.
Two and Three managed to take this time to run for it, the letter was vulnerable.
They ran for it like their lives depended on it, well it really did because they almost literally died!
They managed to find the cave and came in immediately.
“GUYS GUYS WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW THERE'S A PERSON THATS TRYING TO KILL US!” Two screamed, realizing no one heard them because they arent here, Two was searching for them everywhere, well…
How can you search for them in this small ass cave.
“Fuck… okay they arent here..”
“You think??” Three sighs, trying to calm down after that whole thing.
Two noticed this and approaches her, reaching out for a hug.
At first Three didn't really go to Two, they were still recovering from the situation entirely, but they wanted a hug really bad.
She immediately hugged Two tightly, the hug seemed small out in the surface but with these two numbers they mean the world to each other.
“... we should try to find our friends… and try to get that wheelchair back, actually…” Two used their power to make another wheelchair and Three sat in it, clutching her blanket again as they go to find their friends.
.
.
.
They were searching for them for a while, almost giving up. Until Two heard something in the bushes, got immediately scared and then decided to just run for it while pushing the wheelchair. Three was equally scared too.
They didn't see what they were looking until they bumped into a bunch of people, who were at a hill, who then again fell with them and fell onto the hard ground floor.
“Ughhh,,,yuh Oh my god im so so so—” Two opened their eyes and see the rest of the others, ultimately hurt and angry.
“Two OH MY MATH WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?!” Five was the most furious, grabbing Two and shaking them.
“We were WORRIED FUCKING SICK MAN! WE THOUGHT YOU GUYS DIED!!” Six shouted at Two, trying to see if Three was hurt.
Four managed to save Three before she was slammed onto the hard floor by Fours powers, being put down gently on the floor. “I-Im fine,.. we just got into some small trouble and—”
“Trouble?? Oh my goodness Two what did you do now,..” Eight exclaimed, Two trying to get off of Five who was still shaking them. “I-I w-was try-yinggg to—STOP FIVE.”
Five stopped temporarily.
Two sighs and gets off of them.
“Okay… so. We uh… got into some trouble, someone tried to kill us—
“TWO!?”
“GUYS ITS OKAY WE GOT OUT OF THERE ALIVE!!”
Everyone just groaned and tried to find out what was happening now.
“Great, now we got someone trying to kill us because you broke the promise…” Ten sighed as Two was genuinely confused.
“What promise? I never heard of any promise?”
“Yeah because you left before we even said it Two.” Seven stated. “Like you literally took Three somewhere without our knowledge, man I thought I was dumb but you're dumber…”
“Hey!” Two whined, but they just scoffed, going ahead to the path.
“Okay fine, but its not like anymore danger is coming our way.”
Then, all of a sudden, when Two muttered that last word, Two was suddenly grabbed and thrown upwards, Two immediately screaming. Everyone immediately screamed seeing that Two was just immediately abducted.
“OH MY GOD OH MY GOD GET OFF GET OFF!!!” Two screamed for their life, it'll be surprising if their screams reached the whole planet by how loud they're screaming. Until they were at the top, they were so scared they had their eyes closed. They feel cold metallic hands around their arms. “Um… if you would be so kind, maybe you can let me go…?”
Two peeked one eye, just one eye open, and regretted it immediately.
Standing before them, or really, well they were dangling off the dang fucking trees, was a creature up close, Two didn't know who it was, but they literally have ONE EYE. It was a cyclops kinda guy, it was an alien who I letter shaped. Two opened their eyes fully to look at it one more time, and then it smiled at them, really, really smiled. And that was enough for Two.
Two immediately screamed again and got off the figure, falling down and flying away, they were all over the place and hitting trees, branches, leaves. They didn't care, they just wanted to get off this planet. They passed the others which saw Two panicking and tried to get to them while not losing sight.
Two bumped into a tree once more while landing in grass and bouncing up and down until they fell in some bushes. Two glanced up from the ground and became dizzy, then got up and realized where they were. Well not for long before they fell again cuz they just hit multiple trees and just had a concussion which made them faint.
After a few hours later Two woke up in the same place, this time however their friends are here. “Oh my god… what happened..?” Two asked while being still dizzy, leaning on the trees for support.
Five sighs, going up to check on Two. “Well after you suddenly got kidnapped, we went looking for you, it took us 2 hours to find you because you were laying down in a very big bush.” Two sighs in relief. “Well… at least you guys saved me..”
Everyone nodded until Fourteen looked around. “Oh guys! An open area!” Everyone glanced at the area, it was some open area with a few landscapes. Seems like theres people there!
It wasn't much, but there were a few houses in the area, but there was this one building, this tall building, at the top the lights were on, someone was home. “... it seems like this is where they live, oh the grass is soft… and wet?” Ten looked down. The other zeros rolled around the grass, it was indeed soft and wet. “Huh, I wonder what it is about…”
Everyone starts giving theories.
“I think they just overwater the planets too much, they should have a garderner!” Six spoke.
I heard that it rained for a pretty long time, that seems impossible..” Eight mentioned.
“Maybe the grass.. is magical?” Three asked, everyone looking at Three like she said some absolute cinema words and started thinking about her idea.
“Oh well I remember hearing it from this strange guy, it said centuries ago there was this god that ran away from his home planet, it wasn't Infinity most definitely, but when he went onto this planet and cried for centuries nonstopping! I guess he stopped right now?”
Everyone starts to look at Seven like he was insane. “A god? Another god like Infinity? Are you nuts?” Five tried to talk some sense into Seven like he was dumb, but X looked up at the sky, wondering. There was this strange cloud that was surrounded at the center of the open area. It felt odd… it felt dangerous.
“We need to rest, it's been a tiring day…” Four spoke, going to lay down, but Three looked at the sky and then the building. She slowly moved her wheels forward to the building, everyone noticing the sudden change in Three.
“Huh? Three, where are you…” Two slowly goes over to Three, looking around, it felt.. safe. The area felt familiar and safe, it felt like home? Two starts to push the wheelchair with Three on it, going towards the middle of the open area and stops. It was scary, but if they really want to help Three get better then they must do everything they can do to help Three.
Three has been the most caring algebralien they have ever met, she never gave up, she only figured out a different method each time she failed. They have gone too far to give up, the others noticed and slowly approached the other 2 algebraliens, scared that this might fail.
“... are you sure this will work, Four? We could leave right now?” Zro asked, worried if they might attack. “Hmm… well they're alphabets right? Then… Ten do you—”
“Here you go!” Ten gives Four a book, a book about Harmony.
Where did this book come from? Well when everyone was doing their normal thing, when the incident never happened, Ten found this book from somewhere. It just came into thin air. It really shows a lot in this book. The book of Harmony is a very big book, showing about other species living in Harmony. He hadn't read it much, but maybe since they're meeting new species, they can learn…
“Okay so.. chapter 3… Alphabeticals… okay, it says here that Alphabeticals are pretty friendly, they would want to be friends with someone immediately.” Four explained, Two going to the door to see if someone would answer the knock. “Maybe we got on the wrong foot with that one person, maybe there are multiple others! Maybe we can try to explain ourselves and try to set things right.”
Two heard the words of what Four said, Alphabeticals are pretty friendly, they would want to be friends with someone immediately. Their first experience with someone who was theyre guessing to be an Alphabetical was the complete opposite of what Four said, but maybe there are actually other friendly alphabteicals that were nicer and not wanting to immediately kill them!
They finally knocked on the door before Two could think much of it, no going back now.
One minute, Two minutes, knocks again. Three minutes and Four. “Okay maybe they can't hear from this low area, it seems pretty high up!” Everyone looked back up at the area where the light is, it's pretty tall. There's no way people would hear the knocking.
“Okay, new plan! We throw rocks at the windows. We can signal them without breaking the—”
A glass broke, they look at the window they were originally hitting and they look at the culprit, Fourteen.
“FOURTEEN!!” Everyone shouted at them. “What, you told us to throw a rock! I don't recognize my strength!!”
“Oh my god, next time go at my signal?? You broke the dang window!!” Four kept shouting at them while Two looked at the window again, someone was at the window. Two couldn't see much, but the person was an A alphabetical by their appearance, well they are an alphabet… They couldn't see but suddenly it started to rain again, there was also thunder.
“... okay uh someone is at the window… guys?” Two looked back at their friends, everyone was just complaining about the rain, about Fourteen, about needing to get Three to safety. Two looked back at the window again, still seeing the person. It seems to be not moving. Until thunder struck.
It wasn't near, just a bit far. But somehow Two saw their appearance. This person felt concerningly dangerous. In just that flash alone they can figure out what their appearance was. They had scars over their body and arm, they have an eye LITERALLY missing, and they are staring, directly at Two. They're acting like Two just killed their entire family.
After that another thunderstorm struck and they're GONE. Two gets scared and immediately starts to run away, moving the wheelchair which had Three on and trying to get to another location as soon as possible. But suddenly vines started coming up and Two stopped in time before it reached them. “Ohhhh shit oh shit shit shit shit!!” Two laughs in a scared tone, Three being worried. “What's going on…” Three shivers in fear, still cold from the rain.
“Dont worry Three! We're just trapped, no biggie! We're gonna die!! Again no biggie!!” Two laughs and tries to blast it open, but it won't budget. It has stronger power than Two? Its impossible???
The others seem to notice Twos panic and realize the danger they're in. “Huh? Two, what seems to be the matter??” Four shouted, rushing over to them. “We're trapped! I can't seem to blast through this thing..!”
Four tried to blast through it too, it didn't work, then did it alongside with Two but also didn't work. “Damn it, it's not working, it's too powerful!”
The others try to help by blasting the vines off, with the Power Of Friendship they managed to blast it away! “Okay, we need to get out of here right now!” Ten shouted, Two was gonna fly off but when they did they immediately hit something and fell, they were out in the open and Two didn't hit any trees so what happened?
Two kept hitting the same spot over and over, it looks like they're in some sort of shield?
“Oh fuck we're trapped! Great, just GREAT!” Six groaned, everyone using their powers (except Three) to blast it open, but it's no use.
Everyone decided to use their powers, Three was still hesitant to use her own powers especially after what happened with the V alphabetical, she wonders if theyre still alive….
Suddenly a flash bright light showcases the entire shield, everyone looking towards the light. Then they heard a voice. Multiple voices.
“Ive got them! I wonder how the fuck they even found this place?”
“Shit is that them? Did they come back?”
“Im so scared…”
“Why are they here…?? What are they doing here after everything?”
“Are these the people Vincent told us about??”
The voices were multiple people, one was high pitched, one was a calm ones, some were scared. But there was a question the algebraliens wondered.
Who is Vincent?
Apparently these alphabeticals have names? I mean it does show in the Book of Harmony that Alphabeticals usually have names so that they can differentiate each other easily without confusing one another. But who is this Vincent? Why did they know about these Alphabeticals, unless…?
A figure came up to them, the gang didn't know who this person was so they immediately shielded Three who was thr most vulnerable due to her current situation. The person was shaped as the A shaped letter, infact, this is the same person Two saw at the window, the same person with the same apperance and scars.
They glanced at all the other algebraliens, looking spefically at Two once more. They looked… disgusted at them, like they ruin their whole life.
Then Two saw the same V letter that them and Three previous escaped from approached them. They just whispered something to the A letter's ear before they sigh and stepped away.
“What do you want from us!” Four exclaimed, getting their powers ready to attack. The Alphabeticals just stared at them, the only one that was near the shield was the A alphabetical.
There was no answer from Four's question. Infact the rest of the alphabeticals just left except 3, which is the A, B and C alphabeticals.
Two didn't get much sighting from them but they do know that the B alphabetical has a Blue and yellow pallet and has sunglasses just like Nine, while the C alphabetical is very short and has one eye too…
“What do you want from us! Answer me!” Four immediately approached the A alphabteical but of course it was restricted to get Four closer due to the shield.
“.... open the shield.”
The shield was open, but immediately so vines came around them and grabbed at their bodies, trapping them immediately.
“W-Who are you guys??” One of the zeros asked, the B alphabetical scoffed, wondering if theyre dumb. “We're alphabeticals stupids. Can't believe you dont know basic knowledge of that already.!” The algebraliens just groaned at them all.
The A alphabetical, who was the one controlling the vines suddenly dragged Two towards them and they were pretty close to the A Alphabetical
“...... what are you doing here.” the A alphabetical harshly spoke to them, they weren't joking around at all.
“H-Hey there! Look i know we got off the wrong foot with your friend but I and the rest apolog—”
“Your excuses only show that you are dangerous to my kind.”
Two didn't realize what they meant until they were suddenly sucker punched in the face, everyone now getting scared. “Wh- HEY LEAVE TWO ALONE!!” Nine shouted, but the A alphabetical just rolled their eyes and suddenly they just pushed the algebraliens away back into the shield, now Two is alone.
“Fuck… and I thought you guys were friendly….” Two limbs for a sec before trying to square up, but the A Alphabetical was not impressed, they immediately grabbed Two with their vines powers and threw them up to the sky, Two trying to fly away but the A alphabetical teleported and slammed their fists onto them which made Two fell hard back to ground, badly hurt but still trying to fight back.
The A alphabetical came back down to body slam Two to the ground again but Two dodged and blasted in their eye, which temporarily made them vulnerable, Two attacked them to the ground but suddenly got kicked in the stomach and then was kicked in the face, falling down on the ground.
The other Algebraliens scream and beg to not let this person try to hurt Two more or worse kill them, but the Alphabeticals weren't listening.
“.... you really think you stood a chance against me?” They spoke, Two heard the voice more clearly now, Two was merely distracted by everything happening at once, the voice was a raspy russian feminine voice that sounds with years of trauma. Two tried to stand up, trying to make distance.
“... ugh,,, why… why do you.., why do you guys do this?? We only want help!”
“Help? HAH. How believable for you to think we would immediately trust an Algebralien after everything that you done to us!”
Two didn't understand, what was all this trauma dumping? “I-I dont understand…. We didn't do anything to you! Us spefically…. Please we only need help, our friend is really in a bad state and—”
“Bad state?” The A Alphabetical chuckled, then it turned into a full on laugh, it was maniac much. “Oh you really dont get it… are you just people who we didn't go to war with?”
“W-War? What the fuck are you talking about!”
“THIS, IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN YOUR KIND KILLED EVERYONE!!” They suddenly screamed at Two, they couldn't handle it anymore but Two barely even known them, why did they felt responsible for their suffering. The A alphabetical pointed at the scars, they were badly hurt, even having one of their eyes gone, the socket still visible.
“...... look… i… I dont know what we did, but im sorr—”
“How can you apologize when you dont even know what you did wrong.”
Two groaned, glancing at their friends who was trapped and back at the alphabetical. The rain fell harder and harder like it was trying to suffocate them, thunder was booming everywhere.
“... you listen to me you fucking piece of value nonsense, youre so fucking lucky im not killing you—”
“Killing ME??”
“DO NOT FUCKING INTERRUPT ME YOU LITTLE SHIT.”
The thunder suddenly boomed EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THEM, but it was actually directly in the middle of both Two and the A Alphabetical, Two was immediately so terrified they jumped out of the veins, while the A alphabetical seems to be… not showing emotions.
“...fuck, here we go again with this emotional nonsense of this STUPID CLOUD!” The thunder boomed multiple times, the rain fell harder, it felt disrespected in a way in this situation.
“W-What the fuck are you—”
“Shut up you shitty waste of value, dont curse at me—”
“You cursed at ME—”
“SHUT THE FUCK UP—”
The rain dropped harder, the thunder boomed more and more until…

A hand appeared slamming infront of both Two and the A alphabetical, this seems like some out of space movie because this is OUTRIGHT INSANITY.
Two immediately fell by the pressure of how the hand slammed on the ground to the point everything jumped by it especially the buildings and trees too. Two glanced up and this is what you usually see in a horror movie, because the cloud, no not cloud in a singular sense, CLOUDS, there were MULTIPLE clouds in one sitting that have MULTIPLE EYES STARING AT THE ENTIRE LANDSCAPE
Eyes were running around looking at everything and everyone at once, it was insanity, maniatic, almost not real. Two believed this was all some sort of horrible nightmare fuel dream and tried to wake up but it was real, so horribly, uncomfortably real.
The A Alphabetical didn't seem to have the same expression like Two did, along with the rest of the Algebraliens who are GENUINELY HORRIFIED by what they are seeing along with Two.
“Oh my god… here we go with YOUR little tantrums because of what is happening!” The A alphabetical shouts at the clouds above, they acted like this cloud being was just a child throwing a tantrum, Two was just still processing everything until they just suddenly got KIDNAPPED by one of the hands AGAIN.
The God like being of clouds with multiple eyes grabbed Two and held them close to their eyes, looking at them closely. Two just froze, not knowing what to do. Was this some sort of god? I mean this is another being that was extremely larger than them so of course this is soms sort of God much like Infinity! But this isnt Infinity of course this is some new god they never discovered! Was this the god that Seven mentioned? Why were they all big and scary?? Weren't they supposed to cry for eternity??
Eventually the god seemed to calm down, it seems that they were causing the situation to be much scarier, Two being deathly scared of this being, thinking they might die instantly and the other algebraliens being scared for Two.. it… calmed down for a moment. The rain finally stopped but it was still cloudy, maybe because it was filled with multiple clouds, and they slowly put Two down…
Two in this case was still horrified but now confused, why did this god now calm down after all of that, they see the A Alphabetical now just.. furious at the god, until they just storm off, the other alphabeticals were gone, probably hiding so it was just one of them left. The A Alphabteical glanced one more time at Two.
“.... get the fuck out of here before we kill you.”
The threat was clearly there, Two and Three did experienced that the V alphabetical were trying to kill them, it was indeed clear they were really not hesitant to murder them all, for what reason exactly everyone doesn't know except the Alphabeticals.
But then a voice calmly spoke?
“Dont. Dont do that.” the God spoke, it spoke in a tone that was more… fatherly. It felt like in some way that the god was responsible for all of this mess well not entirely true but they felt responsible in a way to take care…
The A alphabetical only scoffed.
“Oh now you wanna talk?”
“Please do not hurt them.”
“Do you know what these BULLSHIT PEOPLE DID TO US.”
“I know what they did but these are not the same people.”
The god and A Alphabetical go back and forth of this topic before the A alphabetical saying something like fuck you to the god and leaving back to the tall building before slamming the door shut.
The Algebraliens are still stuck in the shield so the god opened it back up and now everyone is reunited, Two immediately rushed back to their group and hugged everyone, scared to death. Then the god slowly descended, what seemed to be the first scary god they encountered, the god removed their multiple eyes, multiple arms, and was only left with one eye and two arms, they slowly get on the surface level, theyre still incredibly large like 50 feet from the algebraliens.
The god slowly reached their hand only a few inches from them, the others didn't approach but asked a question, Fourteen asked a question.
“... uh… who the hell are you.”
The god seemingly winces at that, like the reminder of who they are haunts them, but they sighed and explained themselves.
“.... Um… my name is… Author… yes my name is Author, those names people show when you make a literature, im.. im a god g-guardian…” they were hesitant to speak the word Guardian, like it was something they were ashamed to even call themselves that.
“... im…horribly sorry for freaking out like that, as… you know, a guardian protects their people…. If that makes sense, I was only trying to protect the alphabeticals because you seemed like a threat but then I realized you weren't so… here we are…”
The Algebraliens were still scared of Author, this god that almost was about to probably kill Two suddenly calmed down and yeah…. That.
“... well.. youre a guardian with a bunch of selfish idi—”
“Do Not.”
Author suddenly got serious when Four was talking shit about them. Four quieted a bit. “sorry sorry, i… I just… theyre my family, well we're obviously not biologically related as you can see by just the apperancd but I did adopt them… or well they call me Dad, Father, any father figure name… they lost their….” Author quiets down before shaking their head
“Nevermind nevermind, I shouldn't bother you with their horrible stories, you barely known them, hell one of them tried to kill you, which i don't think its best to traumadump every single 26th alphabeticals lives onto you…”
Author relaxes, looking at one of them until they realized something. “... i see you guys are Algebraliens correct?”
They all nodded.
Author sighs and slowly uses their powers to slowly pick someone up, someone like Three. Immediately everyone gets defenses but Author shoots their hand.
“Im not gonna hurt them, im just checking this… person, im assuming you guys are named are what the letter you guys are as right? Two, Three, Four, list goes on, the zeros?”
Everyone again nodded, then Author looked at Three, and realized what is the problem, Three looked up at Author and covered the blanket around to shield herself. “.... poor algebralien, you have no value…..”
Everyone glancing up at Author, they know based off by looking at her? “Well, how do you know?” Five asked, Author sighing.
“Well I have the power to see people's values, and can see when there's a lost of one, but also for starters you guys are very colorful and Three is the only thats dull and the most vulnerable out of all, plus you guys are the ones that shielded around her first after all of this so… it was pretty obvious.”
Everyone just calmed down, seemingly trusting this person, well except a few like Six. “Well.., how can we trust you? Especially when youre in contact with the Alphabeticals!”
Author glanched back at the buildings before going back to them. “No no I dont really kill people, im a guardian! Well unless i kill problematic people that hurt my people now that's different. I dont do that anymore it… it still kinds haunts me.. but I can assure you that you and the alphabeticals can get along together, like old times!”
“Old times? We barely knew them…” Ten exclaimed, Author just nodding. “I understand that clearly well, I meant like in the past… but ill get into that later, i wanna know about your situation though. No one really knows this place unless they venture really far and I know you guys seem like you want something or someone fixed, someone like Three.”
Everyone glanced at Three and then back at Author.
“Ill help, I cant fix Three right away, even though im a very highly god than you all, my powers can't heal… and I unfortunately cant help, but I can grow my powers very slowly, so until then you guys have to stay with me until I can actually heal Three. And I know what youre thinking you guys are probably gonna be forced to be with the alphabeticals… well in this case rhe alphabeticals hate you, technically your entirespecies, i dont wanna traumadump you every sjngle hing why they do hate you but i can ensure you, when the right time comes, one of them will come to you.”
They put Three down back with the group, their hand still there willing for them to accept him.
“Do we have a deal? And you guys can leave jf you guys really dont feel safe here, i completely understand.”
The Algebralians glance at each other one more time, hunching up together to discuss before coming up to an agreement, everyone approaches Authors large hand and Two decides to be the first one to touch it.
“Its a deal Author… but what do you mean by the past relationship with the alphabeticals?”
Author sighs, smiling a little. “Well, its the past, something happened in the past for it to happen currently in the future, as the saying goes for some reason, the past is the past.”
