Chapter Text

Walten can't be sure how much time passed. He layed in his bed as he stared at the ceiling, he turned to the side and tried sleeping. But he had trouble. 

At a young age, Walten or, the guardian. Was born with a strange ability to heal. He was a young child when his parents sadly died trying to protect him. The images of his mother and father dying before him was blurred into his mind. He was found by the military and was adopted. As he got older, he was never aware of healing ability. Pretty much forgetting about it. He met Miles and Anne when he was adopted as a child. When he was a teen, he was trained and chosen to he the guardian of the teletubbies.

He watched over the teletubbes for some time. But then one day, when they ate tubby custards. Tinky Winky unexpectedly killed his brother Dipsy and his sister Po. Lala managed to escape from him. Walten took some custards and ran away before Tinky Winky could finish him. He bumped into Lala and collected some custards along the way. But something in the custards made Tinky Winky into a monster. The four of the Teletubbies had ate custards and that resulted for them to become monsters. Lala ended up becoming a monster. Walten couldn't even save her.

Walten encountered one survivor named Ron. They both managed to avoid getting killed by Dipsy. Walten later found out that Noo noo was the cause of it all. He fought off Po, but didn't want to kill her. Before then killing Noo noo. Even after being killed by Tinky Winky, they turned into monsters. Whatever was in the custards made them infected. Noo noo had infected the custards to make them "better". When he killed Noo noo, the military came. Walten never told them that it was Noo noo because they wouldn't believe him if he said a vacuum would cause all of this chaos. Walten, Ron, and the rest of the military then quickly got away before newborns caught them.

And now, a few years passed. Walten and the military and the rest of the government are hiding away from the world that is almost overpopulated by newborns and infected tubbies. Walten had many thoughts running through his mind. He felt gulit and shame from all that happened. He was startled when he suddenly his bedroom door was busted open. Anne was standing there.

"W, we need to go search for custards. We're gonna need you for this". Anne said.

"Where to?". Walten asked as he quickly got off his bed.

"You know the Teletubbies home?". Anne asked. "We'll be going there". 

Walten was puzzled. He then asked. "Is.. is Tinky-".

"Yes. He's still there". Anne replied.  

Walten then followed Anne out of his room. They met up with Sin and Miles. "Walten. I'm gonna need you for this. We're gonna be searching for any possible custards". Miles said.

"Miles, are you sure? Nobody has been there for a long time. It's abandoned. Only the monster remains there. And it's become a desert". Sin said.

"Don't worry. We'll be back before you know it". Miles assured. "We're just going to be searching for custards to prevent the infection to spread any further". He then turned to the white tubby. "Let's go".

Walten then followed Miles. They stormed out of the building and was about to enter the helicopter. They stepped inside and buckled themselves. As the helicopter flew away. Walten tensed up as he knew he was going to meet Tinky Winky again.

Walten and Miles stepped out of the helicopter when it landed onto the ground. The first thing that Walten saw was a dried up land. The trees didn't have any leaves, there wasn't any bushes, and the lake had dried up completely. This home was abandoned and nearly looked like a desert. A pair of two soldiers stepped behind Walten and Miles. "Alright, get going and look for custards!". Miles commanded.

The two soldiers went separate ways. Walten went straight forward. He was tensed knowing that Tinky Winky was here. Well, Tinky tank since he had transformed into a tank like monster the last time he saw him years back. As Walten walked and looked around checking for custards. But then he stopped when he heard the sounds of stomping or heavy thumping. Walten quickly went to hid behind a large tree. As he could hear Tinky Tank coming close. Walten slowly snucked around the tree as the large tank tubby was passing by. 

'He didn't see me. Better get away quickly before he does thought'. Walten thought. "There has to be custards at the old home. I should go look there since I don't see much custards around the land...'. Walten then quickly turned to where the old Teletubbies home was at. He headed towards it. As he went inside and happened to find a custard that was lying nearby one of the beds. Walten quickly took it. Walten then quickly hurried out of the home. Before he was spotted by the tank monster. As Walten was heading away from the home. He suddenly heard a roar. Tinky Tank had spotted him.

'Shit! He saw me!'. Walten proceeded to run. Unsure where to run exactly. He wasn't thinking straight as fear filled him once again. He suddenly fallen over a broken tree branch. Walten quickly got up. He could hear Tinky Tank catching up with him. Walten kept on running. His energy running out. And Tinky Tank then struck him from behind at his back. Walten cried out then fell flat onto his face. He suddenly felt Tinky Tank lift him at his waist. The tank tubby held walten up to his face. Looking straight at the eyes. Tinky Tank growled.

'Oh god...he has me. I'm powerless right now'. Walten tried thinking of something. He began speaking. "T-Tinky! Please! H-Hear me out!". Walten said in a stutter.

Tinky Tank gave a small growl. He stared at the small white tubby confused. 

"My name Is W-Walten! I'm the gua-guardian. I mean no harm! I just want t-to help!". Walten said. "I-I'm not an enemy!".

It was then an awkward pause. Tinky Tank then leaned further. Walten shut his eyes. Thinking that Tinky was going to bite his head off. He expected awful pain to come. But it never did. He felt Tinky Tank's breath at his face. He was being sniffed. Tinky Tank sniffed the white tubby. Walten peaked an eye open. Realizing that he wasn't being harmed now. 'He's sniffing me'.

Then Tinky Tank carried Walten with one hand. Turning to where the old teletubbies home was at. "Tinky! What are you doing!? Where are you taking me?". Walten asked. Tinky Tank never responded. He just kept on moving and heading to the old home. Walten wanted to struggle out of Tinky Tank's grasp. But fear of possibly being crushed now. So he didn't dare move. He whimpered. He wondered where Miles was up to now.

"Dammit, where the hell is W?". Miles grumbled. He proceeded to shout. "WALTEN!". Two soldiers approached Miles.

"We can't find Guardian, sergent". One said.

"We've gather an amount of custards". The other said.

Miles turned straight forward. He looked mortified. No, Walten couldn't been killed by Tinky Tank. He couldn't have died that easily. He didn't want to take the chance of attracting the monster to the helicopter. He turned around and went to the helicopter. "We need to leave now". He said. The two soldiers went inside the helicopter. Miles then stepped a foot inside. He glanced back. Feeling guilty and ashamed. 'I'm sorry Walten...'.
