3 months after the end of outsiders Red is still living in the maze keeping to himself and not showing himself to anyone that comes into the maze mostly for cleanup from the last season of the show that is until a certain bird hybrid comes in
Parrots pov
“Dam i hate that they keep making me come back here, it's terrifying just knowing that so many people actually died here. I don't know why they keep making me come back here, I don't want to but for some reason they keep sending me here. I don't know why me of all the cleanup people, this is stupid i wish I could go back to my own server but no, they want me to make sure that there is absolutely no one here.”
“Is there anyone here? I promise I'm not going to hurt you, it's just protocol that you leave before the next season starts.”
Parrot hear rustling in the a set of bushes nearby
Reds pov
I here that one boy talking to himself again i know i told myself i would never interact with anyone that comes into the maze but that boy has been here like four times
“Is there anyone here? I promise I'm not going to hurt you, it's just protocol that you leave before the next season starts.” i here the boy say
“Next season? right, tv series.” Red said to himself
I decide to finally leave this maze and make myself known the the boy i walk over to him and touch him on the shoulder
Parrot’s pov
I feel someone touch me and turn around and see someone
“Hi, I'm Parrot you are.”
“Red or Reddoons”
“Wait are you the one that keeps sending me those letters that i find when ever i come in here.”
“Yeah that's me.”
“Wait, you're one of the most recent players right?”
“Yeah I mean I have done multiple seasons but yes I did play in the most recent.”
“Wait yeah now I remember you're the demon human hybrid.”
“Yes i am you ask to many questions.”
“Oh yeah sorry my bad but you ready to leave.”
“Yes I am going back to my normal life of being bullied because I'm a hybrid.”
They start walking out of the maze when parrot finally process what he siad
“Wait you got bullied because you where a hybrid what why.”
“I don’t like talking about it.” Red said
“Also if you don’t mind me asking i heard you meinted you had a server earlier does that mean you're an admin.”
“Yes i am actually my server is called Lifesteal and were getting ready to start our next season because one of the other members blew up spawn with 100 withers”
“What why.”
“War that's why its a very common occurrence on the server like a little to common.”
“Ok is your server one of those gimmick servers.”
“Yes!” parrot answers
“What's your server's gimmick? I'm curious now.”
“Well Red when you kill someone on the server you get one of their hearts and if you die you lose a heart”
As the two start to get closer to the entrance to the maze they hear voices lots of voices
“What's going on out there.” Red asks Parrot
“Um I don't actually know, maybe they saw us on one of the cameras here but don’t worry i won’t let them hurt you.”
Parrot opens the gate and like 12 people grab Red at the same time and try and gide him away from parrot parrot recognizes a few as Spoke Zam Leo and Vortex some of his server members that got hired for this
Parrots boss then walks over to him and starts talking to him
“Great job Parrot you did the right thing”
“Did I, did I do the right thing, I tricked Red, I feel so bad.”
“Red?” His boss asks
“Yeah that's his name”
“Wait, should I invite him to my server? He seemed intrigued when I mentioned it to him. It will at least keep him safe because he will be under my protection as the admin.” Parrot thought to himself
“Your wrong i did the wrong thing and now i’m going to make it right” Parrot said and walks over to where they are still struggling to keep red contained
“Vortex get them to stop” Parrot tells his best friend
“Wa Parrot why.” Vortex said
“Because you'll see.”
“Parrot, what are you doing?” his other friend spoke asks
As spoke says that parrots wings appear behind him telling his friends that he's using his admin powers
“Parrot” zam said worried
“What are you going to do, young admin.” one of the people holding red that he doesn’t know asks
“Well for your information i was just about to invite Reddoons here to my server”
“Reddoons would you like to join my server lifesteal”
“Yeah sure it seems cool” Red said casually
“Reddoons you are now apart of lifesteal and our under my protection as the admin.”
Everyone lets go of red because they can feel the admins protection on red except for zam spoke leo and vortex
“Zam Leo Spoke Vortex Red lets go.” parrot said
After the group gets away from the hybrid-hating people, Parrot then turns to vortex and says “your good now Vortex.”
Vortex then sprouts two dragon wings
“Ah, that feels so much better. I hate having to hide them.” Vortex said flapping his wings a little
“Your not the only one.” Parrot said
“Oh Red, that's Spoke Leo and Zam and the dragon hybrid is Vortex.” parrot said introducing Red to them
The black haired one Spoke asked “so Parrot how did you know he would say yes”
“I told him about it and he seemed interested so i figured he would say yes if i asked him which he did”
“So you just went on a hunch Parrot” the one in royal attire Zam said
“Basically” Parrot said
“Classic parrot.” Vortex said
