Enemies Repel

Summary:

007n7 and Elliot reunite once more—but it isn’t a happy reunion. Moreover, it’s a sad one, hidden grudges and hatred bubbling, waiting to explode.
Elliot does what he can to prevent others from falling victim to the attacks Elliot had become accustomed to back when he was living. 007n7, suffering from the outcomes of actions that involved him, wants to set things right to all the survivors—and Elliot.
As long as they both hold onto the past, neither of them can and will move on. Dragging people into their drama is inevitable. Surviving in this world is foremost.
Although tensions are high, the two enemies now can’t hold on to grudges together, as long as they’re stuck in this unknown world, forever forsaken.

Chapter 1: Prologue: A Reunion Between Lovers...or Foes?

Summary:

The round had finally ended. All the survivors got a break after that gruesome round with 1x1x1x1x. Now back in the lobby, the survivors now chat amongst themselves, reevaluating that last round and cracking up jokes while they're at it. However, one thing they weren't expecting was meeting a new member--someone who had just been forsaken to this realm.
Was he a friend...or foe?

Chapter Text

1…0. The timer has run out. The round has ended.

Luckily, many of the survivors actually survived 1x1x1x1x. They were now free of that tyrannous monster.

“Oh, I never want to go through that again!” Shedletsky groaned, standing up from the chair he respawned on.

”We’re going to have to go through that all over again. The timer’s ticking,” Builderman said, noting the loud ticks that occurred in the background.

Shedletsky groaned in response.

”Oh c’mon! When will this ‘Purge’ end?” Shedletskey complained as he turned to face Elliot and Chance, who were busy chatting at the billiards. “Hey, haven’t seen you two. Where’d you go?”

”Gosh, I really don’t know,” Chance sarcastically responded, cocking an eyebrow up. “I would’ve been alive if you landed that swing.”

”Hey, you have a gun. I have a sword,”Shedletsky argued. Chance rolled his eyes and chuckled.

”It was re-load-ing,” Chance replied, slowing his talking speed down so Shedletskey would understand.

”Well, regardless, we’re still here, functioning at least,” Elliot says, inserting himself into the conversation. Shedletsky and Chance nod.

”Well, everyone’s by the fireplace right now,” Shedletsky points out, turning to face the other survivors. “Wonder why they’re all so quiet.” Elliot’s blood runs cold. They’re all going to find—

“And who are you?” Guest asks, eyeing the newest survivor of Forsaken. The hacker gulps, eyes darting around the quickly crowding group.

”Uh…” 007n7 trailed off. Chance and Elliot emerge from the hallway, the employee holding his breath.

He had to greet the newest member, right?

”Well?” Dusekkar asks, bringing his staff upright.

”…007n7,” the hacker finally responds.
