Chapter Text
Yellow's POV
We were running in the room with the big white box in the center to find second, and maybe give The Chosen One a little punch in the face, you know. And as I was searching in the drawers I heard a sound, but didn't put that much attention to it.
After all,we had found Chosen.. pretty malnourished and kicked the soul out of him,but we had found him.
"Yellow!" I heard Red scream
I turn around to see the others fighting with three of the mercenaries.
"What" I try running to them,but I was pushed right into place by the tallest mercenary.
"You aren't going with them" he readjusted his glasses
"You- you are the ones that brought Orange and The Chosen One here!"
"Maybe,but you are the next in line." he brought the toolbar up.
I reacted fast and avoided the pause button that was coming my way.
"Stick,I forgot to-" he was cutoff as red came behind him giving him a kick and I took the opportunity.
I played with the buttons and screen of the panel control,until I clicked one that opened some sort of door in the white box where The Chosen One was. And as how I was expecting this to come out,it didn't work, because he didn't come out of the box.
"You little-" I heard the mercenary say and I turned back,to see the exact moment of him pausing Red in a punching pose.
"RED!" I screamed and soon enough there was pain in my stomach and I was far from The Box and the others.
I blinked some times, taking a kick look into everyone in the room
The mercenaries where..well, fighting and the one with glasses was coming closer.
Red? paused..
Blue.. He is fighting,and loosing.
Green is.. where is green?
I blinked more times,now searching for my friend,and from where I could bring my sight to,he wasn't there.. where is he? damn it!
"Ahem" there was a voice coming from the ceiling.
The voice made the big mercenary stop on his place, looking at the ceiling (and where the voice was coming, probably.) And the others stick also stopped and did the same,but making blue stood on his place.
"My dear workers, specifically the mercenaries," the voice sounded again "Stop attacking. I Have a surprise.. and I want to see the reactions of those young sticks.." the voice talked "all of them. So please,unpause the Red one."
I heard the mercenary grumbling and he soon unpaused Red,who fell face straight to the floor. All of the mercenaries retreated until all of them where right next to the door, none of them said a thing and where just seeing. Blue and I went to Red as fast as the mercenaries where far from us.
"Red, you ok?" Blue asked him
"Yeah.. Nothing much, you guys should senter on yourselves dirst though."
" Where's green?"
"Now that you ask.. I didn't see him ". Blue whispered
" He left to the next room..or went to dome place, couldn't see that much while I was paused or when fighting.
Green's POV
"What is this place?" I said to myself"because it's hell of a maze." I joked with myself,I was alone,just because I thought I saw someone standing in the center of this room and I run.
"I should have stayed with the others. Here's damn cold"
"Hey green one. You shouldn't have to be here don't you think?"
I looked at a ceiling corner and saw a camera with a red dot, if it was an actual stick,we would have been doing some damn eye contact,and from the uncomfortable ones.
"AHEM. Please, come back with your friends. Don't make me lose my patience." The voice added,and as soon as it stopped the red dot disappeared.
I looked back at the camera and a door opened behind me.
"Green!"
‘Guess I couldn't ask for more guidance than this’ I thought as I turned around to face them and started walking to them.
"Sorry for running off"
" If you don't do that again then it's alright,now come on,give us a little hug"
Blue's POV
Green gave us a hug but soon the speaker sounded again.
"A little more of 'cwute frwendship' and I will vomit on here," the Voice Said "You kids should.. stop watching that pony show or something, its disgusting to hear you say things that cheesy...I hate children.
Wait- what do you mean they could hear that? I thought that I said it in my mind- whatever,, now,how about I show you kids the surprise? I'm sure you will like it!"
"The heck you mean with surprise?"
As soon as i said that,from the room where green was before came a familiar silhouette that without showing his face, they where unmistakable because of the orange with touches of white and lime hair, the two-colored hood.
It was clearly..
"Orange!" Green screamed in amusement.
"It's really orange!" Red screamed too
As we where about to go running to the orange hollow head, Yellow stopped us
"Yel?" I looked at them,confused.
"Something feels..odd,guys"
"What you mean Yellow?"
"Look at them, something its clearly wrong"
Red just looked at us, like if we where in the wrong to stop
"Red,come back here" yellow said
Red's POV
I stared at the others and decided to go check out orange, what did yellow see wrong? They where here because they where searching for Orange,who was right in front of them now!
"Red come back here" I heard yellow say
"Wait guys, just- let me do this" I speaker,and came closer to the hollow "Orange?"
I was eyeing Orange.. And they had a.. Chain?-
"KID! STEP BACK FROM THEM!" That was The Chosen One's voice.
"What?-"
In the blink of an eye i was being choked by Orange, who was now with their head up, revealing completely lime eyes. Eyes that didn't show any sort of awareness, or to recognize me or the others. Their sharp teeth going along with the expression, it just horrorised me.
"Or-Orange..?" I hardly talked
I tried to get free of their hands but it was just coming harder and harder to accomplish.
"Orange.. Sto-op!" I tried kicking them
I saw some type of a ray in the eyes of Orange, I closed my eyes expecting whatever that it meaned.
But, I didn't expect to feel myself gasping for more air as the pressure of the hands of Orange weren't on my neck anymore.
I opened my eyes to see the chosen one, with a new injury on his back
"Chosen one!" I screamed
Yellow's POV
We didn't expect Orange to attack Red, and obviously didn't expect to see The Chosen One to be badly injured because he saved Red for that..thing.
A thing, because it couldn't be Orange, it would never be Orange.
"Stick this" I said "as much as I might hate Chosen One, that injury is horrendous and dangerous."
I couldn't even try to see if that was the injury The Chosen One had received from the ray, what could have happened to Red if he was actually hit by that thing.
"Fuck-" The Chosen One speaked "I thought I told you to get away from them, kiddo.."
"I- I know," red answered "but- are you.. Okay?"
"I will be okay, it will heal soon.. II it isn't that the kid has another power that temporarily deactivates a power" I heard chosen whisper "but it will be okay"
"Uhm.." I heard blue and I turned to see Orange looking right at us
No, they weren't seeing us- they were just seeing the hurted chosen. And I could see a guilt in their eyes. .
"Kids, get out of the way"
We did what Chosen told us, and got away from both of them.
Orange just kept getting closer to The Chosen One, not minding us or the mercenaries.
‘Alan, I'm so sorry’ Orange signed
...
What?
There was no way that Second might see Chosen like Alan.
"Waaah, so boring you two! I really wish the Orange kid could talk, such a disappointment.." The voice said "this didn't.. Turn out how I wanted. So sad!.. The second coming, obliterate the ''mercenaries" already."
Orange looked at us, and I put all the pieces together and realized it.
"What..? No!" I exclaimed "Orange! I- i don't know what might be happening on your mind- or what are you seeing us like- we aren't a treath!"
I was ignored, it was like if I singed to deaf ears. I saw the same glint on Orange's eyes like when they tried to attack Red. A fireball crossed the sight of Orange and they looked at chosen again.
"You and— and me, kid" the chosen one said with difficulty "common, don't— don't attack them. Don't listen to that stick"
"THE SECOND COMING. COMPLETE YOUR ORDER!" the voice said
"no- don't listen, just— look at me"
Orange looked so conflicted, like if it was the situation with Bob and Green.
"THE SECOND COMING!"
The group and I usually don't share the same brain cells or think the same (except when it comes to green and red) but in that moment we just rushed to hug them.
Red's POV
We all hug Orange, who looked so confused, and soon they started to let out some toxic green tears.
One fell on blue's arm and he let out a hiss but he kept hugging Orange.
"The second coming. Obey for your own good" the voice speaked
And soon I felt Orange being tugged away from us, and I saw that is was because of the chain, and as I thought of helping Orange, they broke the chain that was bringing them far away of us and Chosen
As I expected Orange to come back at us, they didn't.
They looked so damn guilty..
I only saw that look one time in my life, and it was when we had fought on the desert.
"Second! No!"
Second was gone.
