Chapter I
The static wasn't just noise anymore. It was a physical weight, a creeping parasite that bled through the edges of reality, turning vibrant colors into jagged, flickering shards of black and purple.
Pibby stood in the center of what used to be a generic cartoon meadow, her lavender hair windblown and her single eye narrowed in focus. She gripped her katana, her knuckles white. She could feel it in her guts. Corruption was getting faster. Stronger. Smarter. However, Pibby wasn't facing this threat alone. Alongside our ex-children’s show character is Boyfriend and Jeffy, her teammates. Sure, they weren't the sharpest crayons in the box, but they’re her dull crayons. They each had a role in the team. Pibby was the leader. She issued commands and is the team's tactician. She has been fighting the Corruption for a long time, and she has a good idea on how the universal parasite acts. Boyfriend is the team's main offence. Boyfriend, contrary to the seldom survivors believe, is not in a relationship with Pibby. Not a romantic one, at least. Boyfriend came from a game called Friday Night Funkin’, where he lived his days rap-battling for glory and the ability to have sex with his Girlfriend. Then one day, the Corruption took over the game, corrupting everyone except Boyfriend, who has a Shield Charm casted by Girlfriend that prevents him from taking any damage or infection unless he loses a rap battle. Jeffy…is well, Jeffy...
The 16 year old puppet from SML has the mind of a perverted three year old, and rarely does anything useful for the team. The only reason why Jeffy is here, is because Boyfriend and Pibby were raiding houses for supplies, where they found Jeffy, alone, smacking his diaper he wears above his pants. “Hey kid,” Pibby asked the puppet, “Who are you? Where are your parents?” “My mom and daddy went to get pizza,” Jeffy answered. “They were carrying suitcases full of clothes and canned green beans. Daddy said ‘Okay Jeffy, we're gonna get pizza, ok?’ and I said ‘ok, Daddy.’ and Daddy said ‘Just sit still and where you are, and uhh…if you see any black sludge, run away from it. Bye!’ then they drive away in my car, going 100 miles an hour!” Boyfriend was shocked. He couldn’t believe that this guy’s parents just abandoned him like that. Pibby just glared and said “Ok, have fun” and just as Pibby started to leave, Boyfriend pulled on her arm. “Beep! Bap beeb skebop!” he said in a high pitch. “B.F,” the stone-hearted toon said, “we can’t let him join us! He has the brain of a dead squirrel, and he doesn’t look like he can hold his own in a fight, he’s worthless! He’s a mistake!” When Jeffy heard the word mistake, he started to bawl. Since he’s a puppet, he couldn’t make tears, but he can SCREAM. “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” the puppet wailed, “You sound just like my Daddy! And my other Mommy, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Pibby knew that the wailing will attract Corrupted to them so Pibby allowed Jeffy to join the team, and turns out, he can do something for the team, but what it is, you'll find out soon...
The Corruption was creeping closer, with Corrupted background characters slouching inch by inch towards our heroes. Boyfriend unseathed Scarlet, the sword he got after killing the previous (corrupted) owner of the blade. Pibby got out his katana. Jeffy smacks his diaper. Just when the Corrupted were about to lunge, a arm comes out of nowhere and rips all their heads off. The arm was blue, with red and yellow splotches, and it has the consistency of Play-Doh. The hand, now covered in Corrupted blood, was split from the arm, which a new hand regenerated to replace it. The body wich the arm came from walked behind our team. Pibby looked back. The body looks just like the arm, same color scheme and same Play-Doh texture. The guy had two small pupiless eyes, but they seemed friendly, concerned. He had a big, toothless smile on his face. A blue bowler hat sat on his head. "Are you alright?" the guy asked "Nobody's hurt?" "We're fine, Pibby replied. The Play-Doh guy sighed. "Oh, that's a relief. My name's Doey. Come with me. I know a place where you can be safe." Boyfriend and Jeffy started to follow Doey, but Pibby stopped them. "Wait." Pibby said, pointing her katana at her. "How do we know we can trust you?" Doey laughed. "There is nowhere else you can go, right? Besides, when the Blackness engulfs this whole place, there will be nowhere for you guys to retreat. You'll be goners instantly." That was enough for Pibby, but she still kept her guard. "Fine. Take us there. But don't do any funny business, alright?" She still had the sword tightly in her hands, "Okey-Dokey, then!" Doey said cheerfully, "Lets go!".
