Chapter Text
"despierta puta!"
Quackity slowly opened his eyes to be greeted by shiny black glasses and a toothy grin. "Sunny, it's too early for this."
"Pero-"
"El, can you fuck off?"
Quackity rolled over to the side and shut his eyes again.
"Bien, es tu funeral," ElQuackity says as he puts his hands up and backed away. He should have taken those words as a sign but at the time he was too tired to care.
A half hour passed and Quackity is snoozing in the middle of the room on a crinkly mattress while El was running his hand around the perimeter if the wall. Because of El's severe lack of vision he wanted to memorize the layout of the room. However, since they alternate through rooms literally every couple of days it makes it near impossible to feel and memorize the layout of anything.
The door than made a loud beep. El froze at the sound, Quackity was still sleeping. The door slide open and three workers wearing black hats and police style uniforms. One of them was holding a stun stick. The one in the middle grabbed the stick and jammed it into Quackitys back, flipping the switch. The duckling let out the most blood curdling scream, his wings flaring up as volts of electricity course through his body. El shrunk in the corner he was in, hiding in his wings. He covered his ears trying to tune out the sound of his brother being tortured.
"Wake up :)" the worker flipped the switch off and handed it to the worker on his right. "It's time to join the others :)" Quackity painfully rubbed sleep from his eyes and stood up, attempting to ignore the pain from his spine. The workers walked through the door way and looked back waiting for him to walk. Instead Quackity looked over to his brother shaking in the corner, cowering in his wings. The workers would always escort him wherever they need him. But this time the workers just left him, dick move if you ask me.
"Come with me" Quackity grabbed his arm and dragged him out the room. The two walked while being surrounded by security as well as the three guards watching there every move.
After what felt like an eternity of walking later. They reached a big white door with the word 'group' written carved into it .The door slide open revealing 4 kids in the room. The guard's leave as the door slides closed.
Out of all the kids the one that caught his eye was a spider boy sitting by the door, his head in his knees.
"Roier what's wrong?!"
Roier slowly lifts his head, blinking his eight eyes.
"He's worried about his boyyyyyfriend." Jaiden grinned.
"Shut up! Cellbit should be here by now. What if he got in trouble with Cucurucho again?" Cellbit was KNOWN for being Cucurucho's least favorite. Due to the fact that he was the phrase 'curiosity kills the cat' personified, literally. He always ends up poking his head into stuff he's not supposed to or making a shitty escape plan that ends up falling through. Either way he ends up getting caught by Cucurucho, and thats when things get messy.
"Cucurucho wouldn't do something bad to him. At least not without reason." Jaiden defended. No matter what happens, Jaiden would never admit that Cucurucho was a bad person. It's not her fault, it's the manipulative bastards fault.
Roier was about to respond but the door swung open. Roier looked over hopeful. 'Maybe Cellbit's alright.' 'Maybe he was just overreacting.' The guards shoved a curly headed boy, but no cellbit.
"Felps!" Roier ran up to him, "Do you know where cellbit is?" Felps face paled. "Uhh, well... no." Roiers face fell. "But..." Felps continued, "I have an idea where."
"What do you mean?" Mariana marched over, forcing himself into the conversation.
"He said he came up with a plan to escape last night."
"Did he escape?!" Roier asked worried.
"I don't know..."Felps paused, "But in the middle of the night the guards ran into my room and dragged out into a dark room with a table and chair."
Slime grabbed both of his shoulders. "TABLE AND CHAIR????!!!!" Mariana holds him back. "I apologize for him."
"Anyways," he continues the story. "They told me to sit in the chair."
"Not the chair." Slime whispered horrified.
"And then Cucurucho walked in."
Everyone gasped.
"It hooked me up to a lying machine and asked me if I knew where cellbit went. I lied because I didn't want him to get caught and the machine said that I lied."
"What did cucurucho do?" Jaiden asked, hoping it wasn't anything bad on Cucurucho's part.
"Nothing."
They all whispered and murmured to each other.
"I know, it shocked me too but it just lead me back to my room."
Everyone was sitting in a circle listening to this story.
"You think he actually escaped?" Quackity chimed in.
"I hope so, Cucurucho's punishments are cruel. Who knows what it'd do to him if he got caught." As Felps says that he gives the most 'Ive-seen-sone-shit' look on his face. Felps and Cellbit were the only people to be taken away to be punished. If anyone did tick off cucurucho, it would just punished them then and there. Most of the time it would slap or pinch or in more extreme cases,tackled or restrained. But to be taken away to be punished ment you REALLY fucked up.
Slime chimed in, "I heard that the outside is full of slime and people worshipped the slime gods. And everyone was made of slime."
No one said anything for a couple seconds.
"Shut up slime."
"Okay!" Slime smiled even after Quackitys rude comments.
"Hey! Only I can tell him to shut up!" Mariana shouted defensively.
"Yeah- wait what?" Slime turned confused.
Quackity stood up, "what are you gonna do about it?"
"I'll fuck you up man!" Marianas hair turned to flames and his eyes lost pupils.
Elquackity stood between them "¡Cálmense perras!"
Just then the metal door swung open making everyone freeze in place. In stepped, a well groomed snow white bear with a stitched smile.
"Good morning:]" Cucurucho moved to the side and two chefs with pushed there carts into the room
"Breakfast time :]"
They all gathered around a circle table in the back of the room and sat in their assigned seats. The chefs then put each person's meal. All the meals may be different but it was all extremely bland. Quackitys eyes could help but stare at the empty seat between Felps and Roier. 'Did he really escape?' He took a chomp of the peanut butter sandwich. 'wonder what cellbit was eating.' The peanut butter and plain bread slid on his tongue. 'probably better than this.' Quackity was pulled out of his thoughts when Roier spilled his cup of water. "MIERDA!" Roier shouted as he backed his chair away a bit so he didn't get wet. Everyone at the table did the same, Mariana walked away from the table all together. Cucurucho walked over and pinched Roiers arm, hard. "OW!" "What did we say about swearing Roier? :]" Roier looked down in embarrassment at being called out in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry-"
"What was that? :]"
Roier didn't respond
"Repeat that again but without the mumbling :]"
"I'm. Sorry." He responded louder, punctuating every word.
"Good :]" It handed Roier paper towels."Now would you be a dear and clean up your mess? :]" Roier snatched the roll out of Cucurucho's hands and tore a sheet off. Roier got to work cleaning the table but all he did was spread the water more.
"Can I try something," Felps spoke up.
"Be my guest," Roier clearly couldn't do it, why not let Felps.
Felps stretched his hands out over the water. The water then rose up above Felps palms. He closed his hands on the water and started to play around with it a bit, turning it into different shapes. The gang surrounded the table in awe of what Felps was making. However this didn't please Cucurucho. "Enough playing, I'm not gonna delay testing because you didn't eat, I'll make you go to testing hungry if you don't eat :]" The group groaned as Felps had to put the wat r back in the cup. The group sat there clearly still upset at the fact they had to stop playing. "Slime what are you doing!?," Jaiden sounded disgusted. "Eating," Slime replied mouth full of jello. Slime then inhaled more jello on his plate. "Man at least chew first," Quackity hated many specific sounds, but the sound of slimes slurping Jello, is high in that list. The rest of breakfast slime just slurped his food whole. You'll never guess who finished there food first.

Testing time
ElMariana's POV
-
One of the guard's drag Mariana down the hall, almost tripping at sharp courners. Finally they make it to a room and shove him in. There's nothing in the room except a bucket in the middle and speakers in the corner. The intercom screeches as the person on the other end starts to speak. "Hello Mariana :)" he doesn't respond. He just wants to get this over with. "Please approach the bucket in the center :)" He steps forward. He gets to the bucket and looks in. When he see's what's inside he nearly runs out the room. It's a bucket full of water. Nonononononononononono he just almost got splashed during breakfast now what do they want him to do??? "Please put your left arm in the bucket :)"
Fuck.
No.
Mariana runs to the door and starts banging on it.
"IM NOT DOING THAT! LET ME OUT!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.
"I'm afraid if you don't put your arm in the bucket, we will have to force you :)"
That just terrified him more, resulting in him screaming louder. In the end it wasn't loud enough. Two guards came in and one bear hugged him pinning one of his arms down. "Hey! Vete a la mierda! VETE A LA MIERDA!" He kept screaming and hitting with his free arm while the other guy brought the water bucket closer to him. He was left with only one choice. He combusted into flames. The guard dropped him and howled in pain while Mariana made a break for the door. 'they just walked in it can't be closed. Right?' I guess he would never know because before he reached the door one of the guard's splashed half of his body with the water bucket. Mariana screamed, it felt like half his body was melting. He curled up on the floor as the pain became unbearable. His eyes started to close as his energy drained. The last thing he saw before passing out was some of the faceless workers standing over him.
Meanwhile
Cucurucho walked down the empty hall all the kids were being tested on the other side of the building, which ment this side of the building was quite. Cucurucho walked pass some builders, guards even the kids 'bedrooms.' It stopped in front of a door that was very rusted and needed to be cleaned. It struggled through the many keys for a bit before managing to open the door. There was no light to be seen and the whole room looked like a cave, which rock covering everything from head to toe.. Cucurucho took a torch off the wall and walked in. "Cellbit, where are you? :[" It stepped in more and found a very beaten and battered brunnet in the corner, he was sleeping. It amazed cucurucho how he managed to sleep in the jagged rock ground. His expression was peaceful but the scares on litterly every surface of him were the opposite of peaceful. Cucurucho grabbed a large rock he found on the floor and tossed it at cellbit, hitting his nose.
He snapped out of his sleep to clench his face blood dripping out his nose. He looked up at cucurucho in fear. "Did you learn your lesson? :[" Cellbit nodded his head aggressive.
"Good :]" Cucurucho crouched down to his level.
"You better not tell them what the outside world is like or else we're gonna have a very similar interaction like we did last night :]"
Cellbit stayed silent but cucurucho kept rambling.
"Y'know, you surprise me, you truly make me realize how smart yet STUPID a person can be. Did you honestly think I wouldn't catch you :]" Cucurucho's sadistic smile sends shivers down his spine.
Cucurucho stood back up.
"I'll get you tomorrow for breakfast, don't make me regret it :]"
It left the room leaving it to just be Cellbit and the darkness.
Alone
