Chapter Text
<---------->
Another round of their eternal hell was about to begin momentarily.
It was originally only agonizing for the survivors as they were the ones getting killed, over and over without a way to put it to a stop, but over time, it started to grow repetitive for the killers too.
They got bored of the same mess every time, the sentinels stunning them, the supports assisting the sentinels, and the survivalists roaming around doing generators to lower the timer.
<--------->
The survivors were in the main cabin scattered around the building waiting for the round to start, just like it has been.
Chance, Elliot, Builderman, and Shedletsky were seated on the couch, with Chance and Elliot seemingly bickering about something that happened the round prior.
"Well I'm sorry that your dumbass decided to run past my pizza when you were getting chased! Maybe try and go towards the thing that'll stop ya from dying?? Ever thought of that??" Elliot shunned Chance.
"I'm sorry okay!- I didn't see it because I was too focused on that red kid behind me!" Chance snapped back at Elliot.
"How do you not see a bright yellow pizza against the dark ground???" Elliot said absolutely dumbfounded.
"Well- I- I don't know man- I just kinda missed it..?" Chance mumbled looking away from Elliot.
Taph and Dusekkar just watched from the bottom of the stairs, exchanging glances.
"Did you see what happened?" The holy pumpkin asked.
"👀❌️👂😂" (I didn't see but It sounds funny) Taph answered.
Two Time was in one of the corners muttering nonsense to themselves while their eyes were locked onto their dagger.
Guest1337 was over at one of the dining tables with Noob.
Noob nervously said "I don't know why but.. I feel like this next round's gonna be different... I mean they never are, but I just have a bad feeling."
"Honestly, me too. It does feel different..." Guest pondered trying to think of why the upcoming round would be different.
Builderman turned to face Shedletsky, taking note of how he appeared to be lost in thought. As though he was trying to decipher an ancient script. He tried to nudge Shedletsky to tell him the round was about to start and to get ready, but Shed wouldn't budge.
"Shed?" Builderman nudged the yellow man once more, still not having any effect. This caused him to grow a bit concerned.
"Shedletsky? Ya there pal?" He asked again. Yet this time he actually got a response
"Hm..? What do you need Builder?" Shedletsky asked, sitting up after noticing that the countdown only had 10 seconds left.
"Oh nothin' really I just wanted to tell ya that the rounds aboutta' start."
"Thanks man.-" Was all Shedletsky managed to get out before they were teleported to another one of these torturous rounds.
<--------->
"Agh.." 1x1x1x1 said, stumbling slightly after the teleportation. He still hadn't gotten used to that even after all this time.
He didn't even need to open his eyes to be able to tell that the map was BrandonWorks. The stale air radiating off the old plastic ball pit balls along with the faint smell of mold were dead giveaways to where he was. He was at Horror Hotel.
1x quickly jabbed his sword into his eye, then yanking it out, causing a couple drops of red blood to go down his face. Giving him the ability to see the outlines of all the survivors at the cost of his own vision.
"I see you~..."
He set out on his task to massacre the survivors, luckily his blurred vision didnt affect him as he knew this map exceptionally well, due to all the times he'd played through it. Though it was to his annoyance.
When he got into a good enough range of Dusekkar, he shot out his swords in the direction of the holy pumpkin.
"FEEL MY ENTANGLEMENT!"
Which ended up stunning him, along with giving the pumpkin a glitched effect. Rewarding 1x with enough time to join both of his blades together to shoot out a green ray of light. After the charge up of the attack was done, Dusekkar only got a split second to react before 1x had hit him.
"This is.. MASS INFECTION!"
The attack hit Dusekkar straight in his torso, causing him to bleed out an immense amount. The divine pumpkin would now die from any kind of damage, so he tried to run(or fly?) away from the killer, yet it didn't work. He was instantly killed with a singular slash of 1x' venomshank.
"Well, wasn't that a quick death..." 1x said before heading off to his next victim.
Noob was next, they were unaware of 1x' presence while doing a generator, leading them to their death.
Then it was Chance. All it took was a singular slash for him to be taken down. His coin apparently hadn't landed on heads once since the round started.
Taph died from getting blinded by his own subspace tripmine. Causing him to slow down slightly while he was running from 1x. Making it easier for the killer to catch up to Taph, finishing him off.
Builderman saw Shedletsky heading out of the kitchen and decided to follow him, having to quicken his pace to keep up. He had just witnessed 7n7 be murdered because he couldn't dodge the ranged attacks being launched at him.
"Hey shed, how are ya holdin up? Builderman questioned finally catching up to the yellow male.
Shedletskys wings puffed up a bit in surprise, as he wasn't expecting Builderman to be right behind him, "I'm doing about as good as one can be in this situation." He said, continuing to wander around.
They both headed towards the stage as Builder started to set up a sentry on it, mechanical whirrs filling the empty halls of the horror hotel.
"Hey- uh... Have you noticed that 1x has been showing up a lot less? Like-as killer..?" Shed asked after a moment of silence.
Builder quickly finished the sentry, "Now that yer' mentionin' it, he has been showin' up a lot less.-"
He ended up being cut off by the sound of clanging metal chains and footsteps heading their way. They looked towards the hallway and saw Two Time weave around the zombie arms with 1x trailing closely behind.
Two Time ever so slightly led 1x to the sentry, causing him to start getting bullets pelted at him.
"GAH!!" 1x covered himself with his wings to protect his body from the bullets as he marched towards the sentry to slash it with his venomshank, destroying the machine in one go.
Two Time took that as an opportunity to backstab 1x, leaving him stunned for a couple seconds. In those slight seconds he glanced towards Shedletsky and scowled, before continuing the chase with Two Time. They looped him for a short while before They got a sword penetrated through their side.
They let out a bloody cough which slowed them down, letting 1x catch up and fully impale them. Their body fell to the floor as 1x pulled his swords back out and resumed the chase with Builderman, as he was the closer out of him and Shed.
Builder took quick notice of this and bolted behind a pillar before 1x could throw one of his swords at him. With 1x' attention diverted, Shed took that chance to slash 1x, stunning him.
"RUN!" He shouted towards Builderman
Yet it was almost like 1x had no interest in Shedletsky at all, as he charged after the other remaining survivor. Leaving the yellow male confused as to why he was being ignored.
The chase didn't last very long as 1x brought his swords together and linked them into the glowing attack, slashing them towards Builderman. Blood splattered out from his back as he fell to the ground. 1x walked over, picked up his swords, then jabbed one into Builders head, ensuring that he was dead.
Shed was left to watch as it had all happened quite quickly.
"Hello Shedletsky. Isn't it so nice to see me again?" 1x turned around to face him, flaring his wings
1x was met with the same gesture of flared wings, making him scoff slightly.
"You really think you can win against me?" He questioned
"Of course I can!" Shed said trying to sound as confident as possible, it wasn't working.
The timer started to tick down from 30 seconds.
"It appears our visit has been cut short. I am truly displeased at that!" 1x said, with the last half being said in a slight mocking way.
<25 seconds>
Shedletsky was preparing to bolt out of his sight the second he saw an opening. There wasn't one though, so he had to try and keep a goose chase going for the last 25 seconds. He stood still for a second, making it look like he was about to draw his sword, then he dashed back into the kitchen, turning every sharp corner he could.
<20 seconds>
"This is going to be interesting." 1x said as he stabbed his venomshank through his chest. Calling upon his minions.
"I cast necromancy! RISE!"
<15 seconds>
Shed heard the sound of chains clanking almost everywhere now. Meaning that 1x brought his minions into this. All Shed could do now is try and stay hidden for as long as he possibly can.
<10 seconds>
1x started running towards where he last saw Shedletsky head, the theatre.
<5 seconds>
Shed was hiding behind a corner, hoping to catch 1x off guard and be able to stun him. And just as he had hoped, 1x came bolting towards the doorway, not showing any slight hint of whether or not he knew Shedletsky was there.
<3 seconds>
1x reaches the doorway and gets slashed by Shed, leaving him stunned as he watches the winged male run farther than he would need to to win.
<2 seconds>
Shedletsky doesn't stop running until he knows he is safe, then, and only then does he stop.
<1 second>
"See you next time, Shedletsky." 1x said just before the timer ended. Just before Shed could have an actual reaction to it.
And just as it had every previous time, they were back in their corresponding cabins. Being forced to await the next round.
