Wonderful Nothing .
: The mains are on a run, looking for supplies. Its floor 11, heading to 12 now.
Dandy popped up from the elevator hatch, like he always did, but today..? He looked a bit different. He had more of a twisted look. ( no pun intended... )
The mains came up to the store, staring at the items.
"Gumballs!? Again?" Vee and sprout shouted. Astro just looked disappointed, as same with shelly. "Dandy! You can't just keep giving us trash! Its like your doing this on.." Sprout started to shout, then he just stared, At Dandy, of course. Because for one, he wasnt saying anything, just staring at them.
"..." Sprout went silent, everyone infact, went quiet. "Dandy- Are you-" Astro started.
The hatch started closing. And that was it. "Thats a bit early for his shop to be closing- Right?" Shelly asked Vee. "Yeah. Definitely-" Then, they heard a snap.
Suddenly everything stopped, then sped up, sped up quickly as the elevator dropped fast. They were going down floors so quickly, that they were thrown to the ground.
The lights shut off. Then it stopped, hard, picking up the mains for a few seconds, then slamming them back down to the elevator ground.
They all groaned in pain- Pebble whined after, Sprout got up first, using his ability, He saw that everyone was now one one. Best of all, they had zero heals.
"Fuck- What the hell just-" Sprout winced as he fully stood. "Just happened?" Vee had her screen cracked, plus her voice box was messed up. "I-dont-" Vee paused, just getting up. "K-NoW." They all got up, looking at the elevator door.
"So- What now-" Shelly said, wincing. Then elevator door suddenly opened, they all gasped in surprise. "WeLL thaT- exEXPLAINS i-it." Vee said.
They all walked out, into a floor that they didn't recognize. Astro checked the floor number. "Floor..- ??.." Astro tiled his head, staring at the number. "What?" Sprout checked it as well. "What the hell? Dandy's Floor?" Shelly paused. "Like dyles floor?- But we didn't choose a floor- And theres.."
"No.. Machines." They all said. Pebble whined, going over to astros leg, rubbing it in worry.
"sO HOw-howw.." Vee paused, hitting where her voice box was. "A-e we goNNa- Get- Get.." - "Out?" Astro interrupted her. Vee just rolled her eyes, or what it looked like to the others.
"Okay- Lets just- Calm down. Pebble, go search for twisteds." - "Astro and me will try to figure out if we can find anything to get out of this floor and go back up." - "Shelly, Protect Vee and see if you can find any bands or medkits."
They all nodded, then split up.
Pebble.
Pebble went to go find the twisteds, barking loudly. But after a while, nothing came. He began searching. But only finding.. Well, nothing.
Until he heard it, Classical music. The one that played when his owner, or a twisted version of his owner came on the floor.
Pebble turned around, expecting to see twisted dandy.
It was but..
It didn't look like twisted Dandy. It had too many petals, to many fangs. It was larger then twisted dyle. Then any twisted had seen.
This wasnt twisted Dandy. This was something, much, much worse.
Pebble turned preparing to distract, but Dandy caught up, he was fast- way too fast- Pebble wasted all of his items. He couldn't- He couldn't loose him either.
He was running out of stamina.
Pebble barked- Then was crushed like a flower under a Pebble.
Sprout. ( Starts Getting Gruesome. )
Sprout went off exploring with Astro, trying to find any way to escape. Then he heard it, a Crack, but not just any Crack, it was twisted dandys specifically. But how? There was no music when arriving?
Sprout was snapped out of it when he was pulled by Astro, he was pulled behind a box, with astro sushing him.
Then they heared it, his music. What a wonderful thing, for a corrupted being.
" Sprout.. Come out.." They heard. Twisted Dandy didn't talk? But it sounded so much like Dandy.
They heard his footsteps, they were getting closer. " Can't you give us something good for once? " Dandy mocked, But.. Sprout was horrified. It sounded just like him. Sprout turned his head to look at Astro. Astro had the same horror on his face. "You used to be so protective over all of the mains Sprout. But now your only protective over the ones who are normal. Am i not normal sprout? Why cant you protect me?" Dandy hissed, he got closer to where they were both hiding.
"What? Truth hurts when it points right at you sprout. Dont you know that saying?" Dandy snarled.
Sprout and astro held hands. Preparing for their last moments together.
Dandy came around the corner, staring at them both with slits for pupils, that slowly expanded into big circles that stared at Sprout.
He grinned.
A wicked, twisted grin. Sprout stared to cry. "Oh.. What's that face? I hoped and I prayed that you'd change one day, Sprout."
Sprout was grabbed, pulled back, by dandy's massive hands, then torn apart, head first. Screaming, then a large rip.
Everything went silent. Astro was sobbing, trying to stay quiet. Then he felt something weird and squishy roll next to him. He opened his eyes.
It was sprouts head. "Oh.. god.." Astro was about to throw up.
Dandy stared at astro. "What? Do you wanna leave the room because you might throw up at the sight of this? What a excuse. Burn in hell."
Astro looked up at Dandy.
Astro
"How could you do thi-" Dandy grabbed astro by his head, scratching him with his claws in the process, Astro winced in pain, crying even more now as the ichor bled from his scratches.
"Oh, your poor boo-boo.." Dandy teased, tilting his head. "Grow up."
"Yknow.. I killed Sprout and Pebble too fast, I think I wanna hear some screams now."
Astro was suddenly thrown against the wall, then getting his head dragged across it. As expected, he screamed. So loudly. Ichor spread against the wall, creating a streak of blood. Dandy laughed.
Dandy grinned even more. Pressing it harder against the wall, he crushed astros head, letting his body fall, he just stared.
"Buy the bitter truth. Both of you." Dandy rolled his eyes.
Vee ( More Gruesome Then The Last 3! )
Vee and shelly searched the floors, there were no items on the floor.
"Strange- Right Vee?" Shelly said worriedly. Vee started to speak, then she heard a Crack.
Shelly gasped. "Pebble!" Vee put a finger to her lips. Sushing sprout. "Sorry-" Shelly spoke quietly. "FiND As-AstTR-o., SpRout,.." Vees voice was getting worse by the minute.
Shelly nodded, pulling Vee along since she had a limp. "So- im just checking, that was twisted Dandy, right?" Vee nodded.
"Weird. We didnt hear his music.." Shelly sighed. Vee paused. "Vee- whats the-"
They heard Astros screams. Then dandys music. "Astro- Sprout!" Vee shushed her again. Shelly pulled her into a small room.
"Oh god vee.." Vee looked over at shelly, raising a eyebrow. "We aren't gonna make it out of here."
Vee paused. Looking at Shelly expression, shelly had started to cry. Vee shook her head. "No. We-We.." Vees voice box completely stopped. Broken.
Shelly sighed, pulling her knees to her chest. She hid her face in her knees. "I.. don't wanna die Vee." Her voice cracked.
Vee stared at shelly. She came up to her. Putting a hand on her shoulder, rubbing it softly.
Shelly cried. Vee stayed by her side.
"Vee.." Shelly looked up. "I.. I just dont know what we're gonna do. There's no way off of this floor- I dont wanna die vee- I dont wanna die." Shellys tears flowed down her face. She hugged Vee suddenly. Vee would pull away normally. But not today.
Vee wanted to say something so bad. But she couldn't, she couldn't say anything. She couldn't even say her last words. She couldn't even comfort shelly. Only by expressions. This was horrible.
They all just wanted to go back.
Sprout wanted to bake and host birthdays again.
Vee wanted to host another gameshow.
Shelly wanted to teach kids about dinosaurs.
Pebble wanted to spend time with his owner.
Astro wanted to take another nap.
Dandy wanted to be with all his freinds again.
Vees thinking was caught off by dandys music. It was close. Too close.
They both turned their heads. Dandy was peaking around the corner.
"You guys took a long time to notice me."
Dandy said plainly. Shelly stared, as well as Vee.
Not for long though, because she was pulled out.
"Well, Well, Well, Vee." Dandy stared down at her, Vee herself was under dandys claws, the pressure making her want to scream. But she couldn't. "Well, wont you say something?" Dandy leaned in. He examined vee. "Oh. It's broken. Well I did cut the wires to the elevator when you were on floor 11. Making it all the way down to floor 1000 must've hurt, huh?..
Vee was surprised. Floor 1000? This, was floor 1000? The floor were no one could reach? Or even tried to?
Vee paused, ' Cut the wires? ' It was dandy who did this. Of course.
Dandy smiled. "You're getting it now."
"And I know what your thinking.. Dandy is a terrible, evil toon." Dandy chuckled. "Yeah. I guess I am. I think im the devil in disguise."
Dandy clenched his claws around vee, tighter. "Do you think you can handle this much Vee?" Vee winced, starting to move around, trying to get out of his grip, or loosen it.
"Oh you've had your time vee." He squeezed tighter. Vee kicked her legs at dandy. Trashing around. "Just buy a point of view Vee. You aren't getting out of here."
Dandy let go for a moment, but only to then pull off one of Vees arms.
Vee tried to scream. She couldn't.
And then, she got every limb, pulled off.
While she was still in alive, keep in mind.
Shelly ( We r at the end! >_> )
She watched Vee get her limbs torn off.
"Vee.." He muttered, staring at Vee, then Dandy.
"Dandy! Y-you monster! How could you do this!? What did we do to you!?"
Dandy turned, he was annoyed. "What did you guys do? Everything. You left me at my worst, when I told you about everything- You just left me! Only using me to get your little items! And did I ever get a thanks?! Or even a simple " Hi Dandy! How are you doing? " As i came up from the elevator?
Shelly was silenced. "Yeah. That's right." Dandy rolled his eyes. Looking away.
...
"So your gonna kill me too, Right?" Shelly looked up at Dandy.
Dandy glanced at her. Smiling. "Yes."
"O-oh." Shelly said.
Dandy then grabbed Shelly, throwing her across the room. Cracking her shell ( head ) open. ( I was out of ideas idk )
Dandy stood there. Looking around. Pebble, Vee Sprout, Shelly, And Astro were all dead.
Confusing Ending ( maybe? )
"..." Dandy shifted back to his normal self. "I'm sorry."
Dandy turned over to the elevator, but not before stopping. He heard something. Footsteps?
He turned. Looking behind him, he saw some type of twisted versions of his freinds.
He gasped, he had to be hallucinating this.
" We all are trying to stop.
But we still love you, Dandy. " The thing that looked like Astro said.
Dandy blinked and they were gone.
Whatever.
