Chapter Text

Something has been happening lately. A single round hasn't started in.. days? nobody could really tell over the pitch black sky, The survivors could only rely on the clock they were provided, Though almost all of the survivors have already given up on counting. Time is useless when it comes to eternity afterall.

Two Time one of the survivors there, stands at their personal cabin, They've found themselves in a predicament, where they feel eyes directed unto them. 'I wonder why im feeling such disturbance in the atmosphere? I can't help but feel like something is wrong...' Two Time thinks to themselves, For the past few a hours the cultist had been feeling irked about something, they cannot figure out why, but they could feel it—something is wrong.

Two Time acts like nothing is wrong, they wish not to capture the attention of the gaze they feel. Two Time could only pray that it's the Spawns gaze watching over them, but deep down they know that it's not the case. The eyes they feel is that of a cold one, piercing and terrifying. If such gaze was to be able to kill, Two Time would most then likely be dead.

Two Time could only pray it doesn't find interest in them.

Two Time starts their daily prayer, though this time, their prayer would be different, they wish to stay safe from the sight of that is an unknown force.

'I pray to your name in glory, please bless this devoted follower with protection from all that is evil, I praise and shed light upon your name for Spawn is all knowing, all powerful, which no man nor creature could compare.' They pray for their protection. The gaze of the unknown goes stronger.

'I pray to the glory that is Spawn for I have faith that I will be served, for Spawn is kind and giving.' They plead to praise their name, The air grows heavy.

'To be blessed with your power that I'm forever greatful, in name and in soul, Glory to the Spawn." They end the prayer, The tension releases.

A usual prayer would always calm Two Times mind, but this one in particular ends with them tense, cautious, and scared. They grip their dagger tightly. Though the tension has resided—the feeling of their eyes are still heavy.

A noise from somewhere, Two Time turns their head to the direction in great speed

"Hey Two Time- woah!.. uhm.. are you okay?" It was the gambler, they had barged in the door holding a plate of pizza.

"..." Chance is kinda scared.. He wonders if he did something wrong. The stare is intensely sharp... jeez.

"You just gave me a shock. I'd appreciate it if you'd atleast knock before entering my cabin gambler, learn some proper manners would you?" Two Time scolds chance, They were quite annoyed by the intrusion, but still—they're quite greatful for it as the eyes have disappeared as soon as he appeared.

"Oh my bad, I'll make sure to knock next time, sorry! I was just here to give you the pizza." Chance smiles apologetically, They didn't mean it really. "Here's the pizza as my personal apology! Anyways gotta go, see ya!" Chance bolts out the cabin flipping a coin in the middle of it all, What a strange person, They can't even not gamble for atleast 5 minutes......

Dismissing these unnecessary thoughts, Two Time now addresses the freshly baked pizza.

'I'm afraid I'm not too hungry as of currently.' Two Time hesitates on eating the pizza, Food have always been a headache to Two Time. They cannot for the life of them, eat food willingly. It is completely different to when you're getting chased and is in need of healing. 'I don't suppose I could just give it to the chicken admin? They're quite fond of food afterall.' Two Time could always find the chicken admin, munching on either chicken and any other food accessible, mostly chicken tho. "Then I shall go right away, people would usually enjoy it freshly hot, right?" Two Time mumbles to themselves as they grab the plate.

...

The interaction was a blur for Two Time, but atleast the chicken admin accepted the pizza without hesitation. Now back at their cabin, they take out their dagger for a daily polishing, usually they would do this after a round, but considering the situation, They need only to keep the polishing short and swift. And just like clockwork, they were done. They pause to hold their dagger up and admire the way it shines, "I'm glad such shine is present in an artifact of Spawn, This sacred dagger looks marvelous!" They talk to themselves aloud, such thing is normal for a person like Two Time.

Finally putting it back on its sheath, Two Time began feeling real tired even when it's still early in the day—they think. Two Time usually entertain themselves through routine and rounds, needing to be always on the move had Two Time deprived of proper sleep. For them it's a blessing, their dreams would always contain fragments of their memory, or just a nightmare of an event that happened in their life. Two Time decided that they will just deal with whatever shows up in their dream, They dress up in their sleepwear, And lays down to their bed—sleep overtaking them as soon as they did.

...

Greetings mortal body! I'm in need of aid and I have chosen you! To be the one that helps me~

A voice resounds in a white empty void, their voice is unsettling, and a bit too clear.

"Uhm..no? I don't think I want to help someone i just met in my dreams." Two Time would usually assume the voice that talks to them—would be the spawn, but they don't this time, as they've already heard the voice of Spawn. It is nowhere near to this ones voice.

Why not? I know things you don't~ If you help just this once I'll tell you!

The voice speaks with promise and amusement, and Two Time is not amused.

"You could keep it to yourself, i don't need it." Two Time is skeptical about this, if they were to make one wrong move, they would probably be placed into a situation that is not too friendly against their mental health.

You.. are boring..But fair point! lets see.. How should i approach this..

Fine. I'll tell you just one thing, consider this as proof of my capabilities. In the 7th day of an another roundless night, A clock will start to play, and thats when a new hunter comes to prey~ how fun.

The entity says with delight in their voice, as if those words is mere amusement to their eyes.

"So why do you think this will convince me to help you? This kind of evidence is far too shallow. I need to know if it indeed true.." Two Time talks back firmly to the thing, Such information makes the mastermind look like they love to make more drama for the sake of amusement.

I don't need to show the proof, for it is the absolute truth! It will certainly happen my dear~

Two Time shivers from the overwhelming confidence that thing exudes "Who may this killer be then? If this revelation of yours is to be true, then i would want to know everything there is to know about this new killer."

Nope!!! Don't be too greedy now~ You'll come to figure it out eventually, I shan't give more clues! It'll ruin the surprise.

Two Time thinks that is disappointing and stupid.

As soon as you're ready, you'll feel my gaze once again, and thats when I'll appear. This is goodbye for now dear Two Time~

...

Also fyi this killer knows you-

"What.???" And they've already awoken

As soon as they have awoken from their slumber—Two Time immediately rushed to ask the builder admin, they need to ask how much days have passed, surely he would know. "Greetings dear admin! I'm in need to know how much days have passed with the delay of rounds!" Two Time screams with their signature creepy smile, the room the admin is in happens to have the whole entirety of the survivors hanging out. It is in the main cabin.

"1week...why? Did anything happen..?" The builder admin asked a bit concerned for the cultists outburst, Two Time couldn't really focus on anything else but the 'one week' though they eventually snapped out of it to reply. "No..nothing just asking! Uhm..I shall get going now. Thanks for the info.." Two Time quickly fled out of the cabin. As soon as they disappeared the others looked at eachother in concern. Typical Everyday reaction to Two Time really..

This cannot be happening, Surely the dream was fake? No clock is playing as of currently.. Two Time is not happy about this, the idea of this new killer irks them, they do not know the reason for it. Its just that they are dreading to meet them. And that entity just stupidly blurted out the most important part before leaving..

"It must be fake..there's no clock..They're wrong..my dream is wrong surely..right..?" Two Time mumbles to themselves frantically, They've already grabbed their dagger out of its sheath.

Tick..Tock..Tick..Tock~

This rounds killer is Azure.

Chapter Text

This new map is quite delightful to Two Time,The nightshade blooms sure are lovely scattered around this dark forest, It's been so long since they've seen one, They plan to keep one on them and pray it doesn't dissappear once the round ends.

Two Time tucks one nightshades in their ear, They were quite fond of putting the flower on their head, Especially so when his favorite flower is the nightshade... Strange they remembered him..

Are they remembering him now only because of the achingly familiar map? Their mind is always foggy, So most of the time they forget that he once existed in their life.

This memory problem would always leave them detached from reality and stuck in a limbo. But here? They're mind is like that of having a second life, clear and refreshing, Like a dam broken.

Though it's already useless, They've forgotten his face since long ago, It was not the fogs problem. But now is not the time for nostalgia is it? Two Time finally stops thinking of things not related to the situation at hand, They're in a round, And they've just been pondering the whole time, through patches of nightshades they sit. they wish not to get involved with the killer, The thought of meeting them scares Two Time. All they could do is say sorry to the others in spirit..

A distorted voice spoke.

My nightshade, why aren't you helping the others? They're your friends are they not?

They see him, Azure—face blurry and speaking to them. "..."

They need you—and yet you don't act to move? They're all gonna die.

And it will be your fault. Why? You're betraying them..

"I- I am not. I'm merely taking a rest Azure. I promise." Two Time stutters in their words, His figure gradually becomes clearer, and only the face stays blurry.

...

You're Lying!

Tell me Why?! Why would you do it?! Did our love mean nothing to you?? Answer me Two Time!

Azures figure clears up. He is injured and bleeding, there are nightshades blooming unto their body. Two Times stomach churns their mind in a craze. they wish to say something, but cannot find themselves the right words. They look away, They only wait for him to dissappear.

...

I hate you.

Those words shook Two Time, and looks back to Azure. Yet he was already gone, just an imagination. They wish to cry but find no tears left to spill—Hallucination it may be, Two Time still believes it's words to be true. Two Time could only wait till the killer eventually finds them, They wish not to stay here any longer.

'Beloved Spawn what should I even do in this situation.?' They ask the question knowing there would be no reply, Sometimes they wonder if the Spawn is even real- No.. Such thoughts is dangerous, How could they dare to question the power of the Spawn when they've  been blessed with their second life?

the sounds of the oncoming footsteps of the killer interrupts their thought, the steps were silent yet still so heavy. Two Time closes their eyes, fighting back would do them no good, They've lost the courage to use the dagger long before after they've seen the nightshades.

Sitting in the patch of brightly Violet nightshades, Two Time feels the killer right infront of them. "I'm assuming you're here to take back what was yours.." Two Time opened their eyes to look up and lock eyes with Azure. They still looked the same, the only difference is the change in skintone and the obviously long tentacles protruding out of their back. And the black pointy hat with a face I guess..

To anyone's eyes—Azure would be what you call an terrifying monster. To Two Time they were perfect, still so beautiful and ethereal. Two Time had already figured out the identity of the killer the first time they saw the nightshades. They only buried this truth deep into their heart locked with denial. Yet the evidence is right infront of them. "Oh so you're aware that it wasn't yours. And I thought this little brainwashed head of yours had already forgotten who's life you stole." The hat speaks but the person wearing it only looks aways. "..." Two Time—just like the hallucination, cannot think of words, only the constant repeat of Azures name stays in their head. " I- I see that the Spawn had brought you back. I'm glad to see you Azure.." Two Time knows any of their words won't be able to get Azure to forgive them, Yet trying wouldn't hurt.

He seemed to not like that—as he immediately grabbed Two Time by the neck with one tentacle, and hoisted them up in air. "..!?" Two Time still plasters on the guarded fake smile on to their face. At this point it's their only line of defense. "Ofcourse, You would think that! I'm now infront of you and yet all you think about is that wretched false God! Have you no shame traitor?!" Two Time is filled with shame indeed, In Two Times entire life Spawn had been the only thing that surrounded the cultist, it was the only thing they completely know. Two Time wasn't the really the best at doing what they want—so they just let their God do it for them. For their entire life, They've been filled with shame, just because the only thing they know what to do is just worship and worship and worship. Their whole entirety is to just worship the Spawn.

But he was the one that made you feel like you no? Sweet as it was, Two Time had been torn between choosing him over the Spawn, ofcourse the winner would be the one that shapes them. There is no question to ask really. "I- it was..For o-our greater good Azur-" They couldn't really speak, the grasp on their neck is tight, And it only tightened further " I s- swear.. it was f- for good intentions.. T- they've respawned you! H-have they not?"

"..." Azure didn't even seem to pay attention to those words, they move to say something. His mouth is zippered and yet it still moved, there is no sound that came out. The hat is what spoke for them.

"Nightshade was it all even real.?" He asks them, Voice softer than before. Two Time did also wonder if their love was real, Two Time never really knew what love is like, They didn't even know if what they felt for Azure was even real. But they eventually got their answer through the means of their unsightly death before getting Forsaken. The nightshades answered Two Time.

"..." The silence was unbearable, Two Time wants to say something but what.? Who are they kidding they know exactly well. These words have always been constantly repeating in their mind like a parasite since his death. They should just say it now, or this opportunity might never come by again. "I- I'm Sorry... I'm s-so very sorry."

Azure didn't seem happy with that, ofcourse it's obvious that he wasn't when he threw Two Time across a wall. "Agh.!" The very clear rejection to forgive hurt their soul, they had expected it yes, But it still hurts nonetheless. "Is that all you had to say you piece of shit!? That mere sorry of yours isn't gonna cut it! Sorry isn't gonna fix what you've done to me Traitor!" The hat bursts out angry, He was right, Two Time is the reason he's like this.. They feel that they should repent, they should probably be punished no? Two Time can't even think anymore. Their head was slammed right at the wall when they got thrown. It hurts, their head is fuzzy. They deserve it.

Their head is so disorientated to the point they noticed now that Azure is already right infront of them. They hold out their dagger. "What? Are you gonna stab me again? Then try it. Stab me again. I dare you." Oh what absolute torture this is. Two Time has no desire to raise their dagger against Azure. They only needed to raise it against themselves. They deserved to be punished with their sins. The ghostfire dagger is an holy artifact from the spawn, Such blade would cleanse them. But would it even gain his forgiveness? If it took an eternity of punishing then they're willing to try.

"Why so silent now? Do you hesitate to stab me? Funny how you're hesitating now, when back then I wasn't even a killer. Or do you love preying on the weak? Is that it?" Two Time wishes not to stay no more, their hand raises the dagger. "Oh? so you aren't just a wimp after all. Come on, I'd like to see you try." Two Time smiles as a last goodbye and apologized one more time. "I'm sorry Azure.." And they cut their throat with the dagger. It was not smooth for its shape was weird. It only made it hurt more.

"..."

"Coward." The hat speaks.

...

Azure could only stare at their body, They do not forgive them yet still felt something for them. He crouches gently to their body, And cradles them as if it would give some comfort to the lifeless body. They wish to stay here. Just this once they wish to hold their lover.

"Azure don't you even. They killed you, don't give them any sort of pity." The hat annoyingly commented. "Get up and kill the Last survivor. End it now." Azures head hurts, this hat is just so annoying. They wished they never had this hat. But it's the only thing thats left of his past. He doesn't even have a choice anyways. "You think you have a choice? Get up. Kill the last one Azure. You're lucky I atleast allowed you to speak once." Their body moves on their own. They've left their body, Cold and Alone.

He really didn't have a choice.

Chapter Text

The Entity hums, It was soft yet lacks emotion. It's song empty. Two Time wonders if the song is even real, or if it's just made up.

They're back here yet again.. yet somethings different. The white space is gone, it's now changed to an endless sea of nightshades. The time set to a sunset forever.

Like your new dream space? I changed it your tastes~

Though the nightshades don't capture their attention. Only the exact copy of the cultist right infront of them. There stands The Entity with the face of Two Time. Their outfit and everything is white? "Why..are you me.?" Two Time asks confused and a bit surprised, they didn't expect for this Entity to even show themselves right infront of Two Time.

Hm.. Because I wanted to take your form~ I needed a form to show myself you know? So I just chose yours.

The Entity hums with delight, its weird seeing their own face and body without a mirror, It doesn't help when the voice shows a bit more emotions than the face. The Entity could smile all they want but Two Time wouldn't feel a single thing. It's empty.

perhaps you'd prefer If I was him? I can change you know, just ask me to.

This Him their talking about, is not something Two Time wants to see again. "...no need, just me is fine." Two Time says with a bit of quiver on their voice. The round had just ended not too long ago, The moment they woke up, the others swarmed the cultist  Asking questions like if they were okay, what happened, and whatever.. Two Time never really answered and just ran to their cabin as fast as possible.

Hm.. as you wish then. So.. how was it? The round?

The Entity gestures for Two Time to come closer, so they did, something tells they shouldn't have done that as they were pulled into a sudden hug. Two Time stayed, something tells them that if they pulled away, The entity would get mad.. if The Entity could even feel anger. "I- I wish not to speak of it.."

Huh..erm..I see.. then..would you like a story?

Two Time feels like the options given is only yes and yes.. So they just stay silent, there's no point in talking. The Entity starts combing their hair with its hand.

Once upon a time there lived a man and his wife that lived in the woods, they were both such a happy couple. But one day, while the man was out to buy things from the nearby town, he had almost ran to an accident which left them scarred and scared of death for life, another man had threatened them with a knife!!

This story was a bit familiar to Two Time, They probably read it somewhere in the library of their sacred home.

The Entity continues on..

Coming home, the wife was devestated to see their husband so traumatized from the experience, he had turned manic and scared of every little movement that even happened in the house. He frantically made sure everything was safe around him.

Ah yes it was the story titled 'The Love of Spawn' Two Time remembered the story because of how often they find themselves cooped up inside the library, Two Time had found the library as a safe sanctuary after the death of a certain someone.

The Entity continues on..

One night, The man had ran away from the house. He had a mission, He once saw a poster about things he really never paid attention to, only the sentence 'To regain a second life you must embrace The Spawn' He didn't really know what that meant, but he went to the location provided by the poster.

Two Time remembered this part a lot, the book had went into details that The Entity dismissed to simplify. One detail in particular is when the poster was the only existing poster regarding The Spawn in the entirety of the town. Two Time was quite displeased for the fact that it wasn't getting the full exposure it should have in the story...

The Entity continues on.

Once they reached their destination, They've found themselves in an illustrious sacred church. This church had the symbols of what looked liked to be the sun, plastered everywhere. They were greeted by a member of this church with same symbol in their attire. The man asked the member regarding the poster. He eventually got the whole overview of what this church believed in, He was intrigued and happy to join.

Two Time had once related to the man for being scared for their end, though now death here is truly meaningless when you are brought back up again.

The Entity continues on..

The man had spent a whole 3 weeks of learning the ways of how the church worked, never once coming back home. He completely believes that if he were to praise and better understand The Spawn, he would eventually gain their second life. But they were proven wrong when a member said that there's a final step to gaining this second life.

Two Time knows very well what that meant. They've already done this final step so long ago, And they did indeed get their second life.

The Entity continues on..

When asking what they needed to do, the man was gifted with what they called a ghostfire dagger, the member said that this dagger is sacred, blessed by The Spawn themselves. And it is crucial for the final step. The man had been asked for one thing. And that is to sacrifice a loved one. He was shocked ofcourse, but still took the dagger, the member had promised for their loved one to be bought back by The Spawn and needed not to worry.

Two Time had been promised the same thing, yet it was different in the story. Both loved ones did come back, just the time that passed by when they died was different.

The Entity continues on.

So after 4 whole weeks of disappearing from his home, he finally went back. His wife although felt betrayed, still cared for him and instantly assisted him as soon as he appeared on her doorsteps. The man only lied to her when asked questions and she suspected it too, yet— she still welcomed him back into her life. It was only then she'd regret it right after she was stabbed right in the stomach. Her husband rambled on about how she'll comeback or how this was necessary and they were sorry. She didn't really care. The seeds of anger and betrayal has now been planted within her, and it so too shall die with her. She had never understood him.

Two Time found this part hard to read when they were at the library, the details had all been too graphic. Two Time kept being reminded of what it felt like to kill.

The Entity continues on..

And so then, the next day comes and they were right! His wife did come back. But when he ran to hug her, she absolutely refused! She said that she's not ready to forgive him yet and needed space. The husband understood immediately because of the fact that he killed her without any sort of explanation.

Two Time wonders why Azure would be so mad, when in the story, despite the fact that the wife had no idea, she still was willing to give second chances. Perhaps Two Time is just an idiot because it's literally fiction.

The Entity continues on.

That man did everything she wanted, her chores, her needs, and her wants. But still never once had she let him touch her in any way.

Two Time had always found this weird because of how it was so unrelated to the ending. They figured that it might have just been metaphors. Or not.

The Entity continues on.

Until one day she had finally given in. He had finally gained her forgiveness. So he leaned in for a kiss. And they did.

And that would be the ending of the story, it was short and simple Two Time thought. The book did go into details, it's just the story wasn't that good.

The Entity continues on...What.?

Just when they were about to kiss, she had disappeared. Suddenly and out of nowhere, he tried looking for her, yet only found traces of her. Her uneaten plate of food. Her jewelry scattered on her table. And everything that he had ever bought for her was there.. yet she wasn't.

Two Time tried getting up, it's grip on them was tight. This story does not go further, what version is The Entity telling? "..!?"

The Entity continues on.

Only has he realized that she never existed in the first place. Her death was the last he saw of her. All of those moments after? Those were his delusions! He has a condition where he has major hallucinations. This was the reason why he wasn't allowed to touch her.

A hallucination? This wasn't in the story. Two Time tries to squirm out of its hold. "Stop- !"

The Entity continues on.

Devestated he was, ran to the church for explanations. He was terrified to see that the church had been abandoned and its members had fled. He asked himself if it was all a lie. In the time of need the God that he so praised abandoned them, the moment he needed them.

Two Time had finally realized that this was all a trap, this Entity introduced a false sense of comfort to lure them right into a trap. And they carelessly fell for it.

The Entity continues on.

He felt like a fool, He had just carelessly believed on a lie. Willingly followed its words.. Feeling horrible he had decided to end it all. He does not wish to have his wifes second life.

This version is wrong! Stop.! Two Time begs inside their head. They grip the clothes of the Entity tightly.

The Entity continues on.

And so he did. But he never went back up and never respawned. He had believed a fake God. Spawn.. was never real. He believed it carelessly, and that costed him everything. His wife and his life. Spawn is fake, a hoax, it's a lie that could only kill. There is no happy ending.

The Entity has reached the end.

"No no no no no no no no! STOP! Don't you dare taint their name! Let go of me!" Two Time tried their hardest to get off the Entities grasp. It finally let's go of them. They backed up as fast as possible. They look up at the Entity with disdain.

But what they didn't expect is to see him. The Entity is now Azure. What a cruel joke.

...

My dear Two Time.. Do you really think that it was The Spawn that bought him back? Hmm~ ?

Chapter Text

"Azure.? No..not Azure.. No.." Two Time closes their eyes, the sight of him. The sight of what used to be him is in front of them. Their heart beats fast. Not out of love, but guilt and fear. 

Hehe~ what's wrong Two Time? You look like you've seen a ghost~ oh yeah I am a ghost! Hahahaha! 

Two Time crouches down unto the nightshades, Eyes closed tight, hands clasped against their ears "Stop Please.."

They feel the Entity hug their form. It was more cold, the little bits of warmth gone. Like a dead body. 

They force their hands to unveil their ears. The Entity then whispers. 

Azure is long dead Two Time. The one you saw before is no longer him. His heart no longer beats inside that body. And it's your fault. 

The Entity whispers with not a single breath reaching their ear. It does not deliver comfort and safety, it only delivers the truth. Something Two Time has been refusing to hear. 

You made him like that. It's not a revival, it's a transformation and it's an ugly one~

It wasn't the Spawns fault, It wasn't my fault. It was yours. This is your sin Two Time. The reason why your trapped here. 

The Entity continues to whisper the reality unto Two Time. Unforgiving and Uncaring. The Entity hugs their form tighter, hands wrapping around them. Their hands in their back, a spot where wings would sprout. 

And your second life? It's fake~ like the story! The Mastermind behind all of this gave it to you~ To further feed your delusion! Hehehe~ ridiculous isn't it? Just ask your friends, they'd say the same. 

"Agh! Stop! I don't want to hear it! Please!" Two Time begs the Entity but it falls on deaf ears. This is something Two Time needs to be forced to hear. They weep could even further and the Entity wouldn't care. 

You really think saying stop would work? Do you really think mere words could undo it all? Two Time the only way you could ever be forgiven is that to repent. To be punished for your sins. 

The Entity is right. Nothing could ever fix the sin Two Time has committed. The act of killing is something unfixable. "How.. how do I repent for these sins..?" Two Time is numb they wish not to feel. Addressing the emotions further leaves them into insanity. 

To let go of the Spawn. It never was real, it never will. This Religion of yours is only a cult, a hoax. 

And if you continue to deny further... I'll forever leave you in this hell, while all of your friends escape. 

"Okay..How to let go..? I don't know how.." Two Time complies mindlessly. They feel as if their body is not their own, yet they still control it. 

Look at Azure, look at the face you have wronged. 

"Okay..." Two Time slowly opens their eyes to look at the Entity. This time their form Azure is bleeding, Crimson spreading everywhere. Two Time quickly goes back to closing their eyes." Gah-! I'm sorry.. I can't.!" 

Atleast you tried, perhaps you want me to change? I can change just ask away. 

"Yes please.. I fear I might somehow puke in this dreamworld.." Two Time says in response to the Entities question. They feel the air shift around them. Two Time opens their eyes. It's their face again. 

Alright for the next one.. maybe get rid of that necklace? It's an item from Spawn. Though I won't ask you to get rid of the..dagger. you will still need that. 

"Oh okay.." This Spawn necklace of theirs happens to be the necklace Two Time and Azure both matched with. Though they assume that the other necklace is long gone. 

There now aren't you just very compliant~ well since I'm luckily a very kind person, I demand no more of you dearie~ 

"Kind..? Okay.." If your were to ask Two Time which punishment is worser between the spectre and the Entity, it would ofcourse be the Entity. The Spectre hasn't done anything too drastic to them yet.. it was all physical while the Entity is all mental.. 

Yep~ hehe anyways since you have been good I shall promise to free you of this place! Unlike the Spawn i won't give you a second life. Instead a new life! How fun~ 

I cant promise you Azures forgiveness tho. That's something you'll have to achieve. 

This punishment isn't for you to achieve forgiveness. I lied about that. I mean why would you need forgiveness from me? I'm not the one you killed! Hehe~ I just did that because I needed to. I cannot just set you free without addressing your sin~ 

"Oh ofcourse..Azure.." Two Time accepts that fact. There is no more point in denying anything. 

Oh yeah Azure isn't completely dead. Well he is but his soul isn't. He is stuck somewhere in that.. body. Don't you worry tho I'll fix everything~ 

"Fix everything..?" Two Time questions. "My aren't you such a cruel but kind Entity? Unlike the Spectre or the Spawn. You aren't.. sadistic nor just a lie. Who may you actually be? Such sinners like us need to know your name." 

Eh really? Me kind? I was joking but okay. Well if you must know it's simply just.. Mikhail. 

By the way everybody on the survivors side already knows of my existence. I played therapist for each of you fools.. your my last client.. on the survivors side..... 

Anyways.. I'll have to dissappear from this side completely, I have things I need to do.. so please behave and don't.. I dont know. But I will comeback.

(I always comeba- no? Okay sorry..) 

Toodles Two Time~

After the dream Two Time looked around to see if there was any survivor awake at the moment, There seemed to be no one so they just decided to wait at the docks until someone eventually wakes up. This dock feels unsafe with the unnecessary creaking with each step.... should probably ask someone to renew this. 

Finally seated in the end, Two Time thinks about whatever the hell happened in the dream. The Entity named Mikhail suddenly just wanted Two Time to suffer..

Two Time idly plays with the water while waiting.. and thinking of ways on how to strangle Mikhail...(Hi its me author my brain is currently fried and I can't take this chapter seriously) When they heard a creak just right behind them, it was the one that bombs..was it Taph? Ah yes Taph. 

"Oh greetings Taph, have you awoken just now?" Two Time asks calmly, Taph is shocked. They flinched in surprised at first then just gestured a no. "Oh I see so you've been awake the whole time.. I presume that you couldn't sleep?" Taph gestures a yes to Two Time while silently walking to sit beside them. How did they not make the wood creak like from awhile ago?? 

"Do you need anything?" Taph gestures a no, Two Time doesn't really know sign language so they would just have to assume things for this one... "Alright.. then your here to perhaps just hangout?" Taph nods and just looks at the dark ocean. They were both seated in a comfortable distance. "Hey I have a question.. Do you know someone named Mikhail.?" Taph looks at them surprised, then Taph excitedly starts nodding. And gesturing.. Two Time feels really bad for not knowing what they mean... "A- ah I see.. you like them?" Taph nods very happily, the wings on their head flaps very quickly. "So.. is it only me that met them last.? I heard from Mikhail that they've already met the others.." 

Taph just nods. "I assume that Mikhail has already given you some kind of.. revelation?" Taph nods happy, although they're a bit sad with the language barrier,  they're still quite happy with the yes or no questions Two Time provides for some proper communication. "Do you think...that they're sincere with their wishes.?" Taph looks at Two Time, their gaze questioning. And still eventually nods a yes. 

For awhile no words were exchanged, only the comfortable swaying of the ocean. Not until Two Time feels something heavy in the air. Not until Two Time felt something stuck in their throat, they tried to cough it out but struggled to. Taph eventually noticed Two Times struggle and frantically tried assisting them. 

What was stuck in Two Times throat? It was itchy, uncomfortable. Two Time coughs finally releasing what was stuck. It was.. a nightshade petal? What? Is it happening again? But why now? Two Time hides the flower from the unknowing Taph patting their back. Taph looks at them concerned. "I'm.. fine i just had an itchy throat.." Two Time does not wish for anyone to know about this yet. Taph looks at them suspiciously under the hood. 

"I mean it.. I'm fine." Two Time stands up and held out their hand "How about finding some food to eat hm? I still haven't eaten yet wanna accompany me?" Taph took Two Times hand to stand up and nods. Atleast that distracted them.. 

They feel the itch inside their throat again. This wasn't this bad pretty early on the first time I had it.. why is it faster than normal now? 

I should probably consult Mikhail about this..

Oh yeah they're gone for a bit.. ah yes They're doomed

Chapter Text

Helloo welcome to my non chapter rant, this is basically just me yapping about chapter information that was never put into chapters... I dont even know myself if this is important to the story

you don't need to read it if you want lol

The new name I gave this work

After just keeping the works name as "PLACEHOLDER" I decided to name it.

"Who is like God?" Why this in particular? Just research the meaning of Mikhails name actually..

I also almost kept placeholder as the official name but I luckily didn't.. 

Chapter 1

Nothing really went into my mind when making this, it actually went through a lot of editing and deleting before being finally posted

As a first time author I wanted to make it as non boring and as accurate as possible to Two Time, because the first chapter did not have Mikhail present.

Mikhail has this weird power to influence the mind, and when they first met with Two Time they were actively influencing their mind

The same way as I headcanon that the Spectre has the same ability to influence the same, and makes Two Time more insane.

Mikhail blocks the Spectres influence on Two Time and also Influences Two Time

So in the first part of the chapter Mikhail wasn't influencing Two Time yet, so I had to make Two Time look insane

Mikhail only started the influence at the end of chapter 2

Whether if I did good or not it's up to the reader.

Chapter 2

This chapter also had a lot of revisions I didn't know how to make them interact as ofcourse I've never done this before.. the only thing that stuck in my mind is that Two Time would probably be smart enough to figure out that the killer is in fact Azure through the clues they've seen and heard.

I only revealed that fact when Two Time finally met up with Azure because I headcanoned Two Time to be in denial about Azure being a killer, thus suppressing it deep within their mind.

I also wanted for Azures hat to be intimidating when it talks without their words being caps, because I feel like the hat just screaming in all caps just looks dumb... I mean dumb as in I look lowkey dumb..

I've read other fanfics with the hat talking like that and I never thought it looked dumb. It's just me cringing at myself when I do it instead.

So I made sure this hat talked in insults and intimidation because I cannot for the life of me make them be in constant anger... I already cringe at myself a lot I don't need to double it with the way I write this homophobic hat.

Speaking of the way they talk, I don't know if it was noticeable but Azure actually talked in the chapter well not really but the hat did the voice for them. 

So for that part I wanted to put or I wanted to emphasize the difference of when the hat talks and when Azure talks.

I wanted Azure to talk more softer to Two Time as yk.. and the hat to be more harsher with Two Time.

Chapter 3

Ah yes the chapter I struggled to continue in chapter 4.. I ran out of ideas :c

Anyways nothing special really it didn't have a lot of revisions, and I wrote the story that Mikhail was telling blindly

Or I guess I just wrote everything on a whim? That's why I struggled on 4, so if chapter 4 didn't satisfy the reader then I'm sorry I was so recklessssss..

Anyways here are the rough sketches of the design of Mikhails Two Time form and why people would immediately tell a difference

So I just lowkey gave Mikhail new clothes and a different symbol and called it a day..

Mikhail is also actually Young Two Time before the sacrifice and Forsaken, to give Two Time some flashbacks :D

It isn't entirely accurate to Two Time though, because as you can see Mikhail fixed the  hair and wings into well.. what they could fix before giving up on fixing it.

Anyway this is my Two Time design, I'm not giving the full design I'm lazy like that..

As you can see here it's a bit different to Mikhail. That's because this Two Time is older and messier duh.. and because I didn't give much effort in drawing it properly.. I ran out of motivation to do so :D

If the image didn't load I will die

Chapter 4

I'm not talking about chapter 4

I think it's cringe and I hate it

But its too late now is it?

That's the end of my yapping lol

Also I lied about next chapter being a another reunion, I changed my mind

Also I'll try replying to comments from now on..I get too shy to reply sometimes.. or all the time d:

Chapter Text

Well the food Two Time and Taph was eating got cut short as another round had started and had both of them separated without their permission. Not like it ever waited for their permission, Sometimes survivors would be forced into the game hungry or sleepy. Luckily for Two Time they're a professional at starving.. Which someone shouldn't be... 

Anyways it seems this rounds killer seems to be c00lkidd, they saw the red child awhile ago chasing who seemed to be.. the father? Two Time didn't really bother to look as they were finishing a generator.. they should probably help. "Should I even help? Maybe I should just use the excuse of hunger? Hm~ tempting but I need...the second life.." They have a feeling that they're kinda picking up the way on how Mikhail speaks, and that's kinda scary....They do not think of their second life ability. 

"You should?? And no I can't right now.. my weakness is stacking up like bricks and I'm on charge one......" The Gambler- Chance who was somehow right in the corner hidden without Two Time noticing. 

"...? How high is the stack? I'm quite curious..mind if I experiment?" Two Time holds out their dagger in the air, smiling creepily again. And slowly approaching the cornered Chance. "Uh no.. no thanks.. Put that dagger down! Eek!" Chance understanbly scared, flips for more charges to fix the stacked up weakness.. that inevitably failed and they just gained more weakness, with now Two charges.. 

"I'm kidding~ You should probably hide Chance. I hear the footsteps nearby~" Two Time says heading out, They eventually decided on helping out the father of that very brightly red child. "What you do- Wait! no more Gambler nickname..?" Chance confused and somehow merging more with the wall....The way they hid could beat the sneakiest of survivors.. 

Making it outside the mansion Chance was hiding in and Two Time also tried hiding in, they look for the location of chaos.. which happened to be right across the map. How lovely. Running is one of the worse thing that Two Time has ever been punished eternally with. God forbid someone is naturally frail. "Oh Two Time looking for the kid? Right at the graveyard. I tried helping 007n7 whos getting chased at the moment but I missed my slash.. I just woke up by the way." Shedletsky who is munching some chicken lazily says to Two Time while walking to the side of the map Two Time was on. The man had somehow sneaked in a bucket of chicken despite being asleep before the round.. 

"Ah thank you for the information Shedletsky... eughhh I hate running... Who even invented that.?" Two Time is infact very tired of running. Luckily the graveyard is nearby and they saw the red child and his father. Two Time made eye contact with 007n7 signaling to him that Two Time is nearby. Two Time hides in the corner of a wall—waiting for 007n7 to come by. "Dad you won't run forever! Hehehaha!" They hear the child laugh happily, they grip their dagger steadily. 

007n7 rounds the corner, after comes coolkid they dash to stab. And- "Owh! That hurts!! You meanie I'm telling dad!" Two Time backs up from the red child. Ever ready to run after a stab, killers would always go for then after one.. But the child didn't? Instead he runs to 007n7 who was catching their breath. And its a walkspeed override. "007n7 watch out for the child!" 

"Oof- !" It was a hug.? "Dad that person hit me!! Waaaaaaaaaa it hurts!" Coolkid hugged 007n7.. hugged.. and the kid is crying.. 

"Holy Spawn what." Old habits die hard and they could care less right now.. the kid didn't kill 007n7.. 

"Dad! They stabbed meee!" Coolkid was snuggling and crying into his father's shirt. "..." 007n7 is silent. "Dad.? Oh why are you crying!? Did they hurt you too.? Ill go get them for you! Just stop crying okay?" Coolkid looked up to see 007n7 also crying, and this immediately stopped the kid from crying. Two Time got ready to run if the kid starts again. 

"No! No need.. Papa is just really happy to see coolkid right now.."007n7 finally replied wiping his tears. "Oh okay! Coolkid is also happy to see dad! Hehehe!" Coolkid hugs 007n7 tight. He returns it. 

How heartwarming Two Time thought. The kid suddenly became friendly.. Two Time just sits down nearby, cautiously guarding 007n7 if anything happens. And in the midst of the two hugging. 007n7 and Two Time made eye contact, his eyes were full of gratitude. Was he thanking Two Time? For what? It wasn't Two Time that did whatever this is.. 

The father and son eventually started to go in conversations Two Time tuned out. If the kid managed to do the impossible then would Azure be able to do the same.? Two Time wonders if Azure is even getting controlled or if it's just him wanting revenge on Two Time. They don't know which is worse, perhaps both theories are the same. 

The itch in their throat rises above their lungs. They do not cough, they do not make a sound. A whole flower comes out their mouth. Perhaps thinking of him is a bad idea.. They were fine just awhile ago. 

"Dad..my head hurts.." Two Time eventually tuned in on the conversation the father and son was making. "What's wrong?" 

"Ugh.. I can't..my head hurts! Dad help me! Help!" Coolkid holds their head in agony. This alarms the Two. "007n7 I suggest you back up. It seems something is happening with the child." Two Time warns 007n7. They got up and readied their dagger. 

"No! I'm not leaving him! Not again.. Hey buddy it's okay.. Papa is here.." 007n7 tries to calm the crying child (heh crying child-... I'm sorry I'll leave) "Dad! It hurts! Help me! Please help me!" It inevitably didn't do anything as the child cried louder in agony. 

Two Time could only watch as they didn't want to suddenly get attacked by the child.

"Coolkid what's happening!?" 007n7 panicks at the cries. Two Time warns him for the last time. "007n7 step away-" 

And they were back at the cabin. 

"..." Both of them were at the table of the ones who survived. "Did both of yall see a ghost or something??" Shedletsky does not read the room. Two Time ignores him "Are you okay..007n7?" Two Time looks at the father right next to them. "I'm.. fine its nothing I can handle." 007n7 says looking down. "It seems your time with the child was cut short.. Are you okay with that?" 

"I'm okay with that.. it's the most I've ever gotten anyways. This hellhole doesn't really give much opportunities.." 007n7 smiles awkwardly at Two Time and stood up "Anyways I kinda need space right now, see you." 007n7 leaves the main cabin. 

"Uh did something happen?" Shedletsky asks confused. "The child gained some maturity." Two Time unhelpful, provides an answer. "What..??" Two Time snaps their head to Shedletsky "woah-" 

"What happened to Chance? How did they manage to die?" Two Time noticed that the survivors table only had them, 007n7 and Shedletsky. "Oh I bet on him to use his gun on one charge with the stacked up weakness" 

"They used the gun didn't they." Two Time deadpans. The mere stupidity of gambling his life is ridiculous.. "Haha yea.. It was hilarious!" Shedletsky walks off laughing. 

This man is a natural at laughing weirdly enough to annoy someone.. Two Time could totally understand the weird fixation of hatred the killer 1x1x1x1 has against this man. "What to do now... I should probably just sleep.." Two Time walks out of the main cabin like a zombie. They got pulled back in the cabin by Taph insisting they eat.

Hm.. Something shoul've happened by now. Did it work? 

"Why are you asking me? I'm not the one that barges into dreams then proceed into being confusing, then asking questions that don't make sense.." 

Be quiet sacrifice I'm doing something.. I'll get to you later 

"Rude?"

Nevermind I Reworked Chapter 4..

So if you've already read it, then go read it again. I'm joking only if you want.

I only reworked Chapter 4 because of how unsatisfied I was with how it turned out. But don't worry the rework doesn't change the newer chapters actually.

Chapter Text

Chapter 1 silly art (yes the eye is Mikhail but Two Time cant see it)

chapter 2 silly art or is it silly?

Chapter 3 silly art (if you didn't read my yapping chapter the other person is Mikhail)

Chapter 4 silly art (went lazy i hate this one)

Yeah i dont think i could actually prevent myself from writing so much.. i like wrote the chapter 5 and Reworked chapter 4 in the same day..

And yes this chapter is just an excuse to show my poopy drawing skills

Chapter Text

Azure stares at the very white sky. He feels a huge presence looming over him. It's Mikhail a powerful entity with unknown origins. He has actually met them before in another dream, They had the face of a person familiar as a first introduction. 

Whatever took place in their first meeting wasn't exactly most pleasant, Azure had been more out of it in that time. Mikhail didn't really help much with the way they introduced themselves.. Azure was just really angsty.. So proper communication didn't happen much. 

Things only mellowed down when Mikhail had blocked off the voices in Azures head. And after that he could actually think clearly for once. 

Then Mikhail had went on about how they were gonna free them alongside the others. Azure was suspicious so they didn't believe much. He had sensed that Mikhail does have good intentions but felt they were a bit twisted. Fully trusting an powerful being has its costs and Azure isn't one to take it. 

"May I inquire now on why you have suddenly visited me? I assume that you want something from me." Last time before Mikhail had left his dream, he was told by Mikhail that if they were to visit again—then it would most likely be that they want something from him. So he assumes that Mikhail wants something from him now. 

Hm..yeah I do. I need you to watch the killers for me. You guys have cabins right?

I'm not really familiar with your side, Since the Spectre is strict with you all. 

I only managed to get to you because of their mistake on locking you from your body. And just.. putting you inside a dream.

"Well yes we do have cabins, but I'm currently just asleep right now.. you actually ripped away the really nice dream I was having..." Azure was dreaming of a memory of when he was gardening, he had remembered watering freshly bloomed flowers on a sunny morning. Right after he just sat down to drink tea, It was quite a nice memory to dream. 

Azure could never really remember much of his past, so he tried to cherish it. Sadly Mikhail had to barge in and ruin it. Azure was quite shocked when the tea they were supposed to drink suddenly dissappears and the flowery garden to just become a blank white space. "So if I'm just asleep and you still managed to reach me, then why wouldn't you just reach the others?" 

Because I've already reached you. So it's easier to create a dreamspace for you... And idiot I said watch them for me, not talk to them for me.. 

"Oh..right, so why am I watching them?" Azure hoped that worked in getting Mikhail to not make him do things, but oh well atleast he tried. He truly does not want to do anything right now. 

I plan to abruptly uncorrupt some of them in a midst of a round hehehe..

(by well timing Two Times backstab with it lol)

The result of Coolkids round today unsurprisingly ended early. I did something :D 

"How does one even do that..?" Azure doesn't know if uncorrupting will even work on some individuals he had the misfortune of meeting.. For example 1x1x1x1.. isn't 1x just made of some admins hatred? Telephone was it? Uh wait Telamon...yeah Telamon..... 

"And what did you do to the kid...?" He doesn't really think Mikhails the type to be good with kids.. 

I gave him some maturity said Two Time! I heard them say it :3 

"Why were you listening on Two Time? And that doesn't even answer the question! Be serious Mikhail!" Azure wonders if Mikhail knows what he feels about Two Time, They won't stop mentioning them near Azure. On the second thought maybe he doesn't really wanna know.. 

It's all in the power of logic you'll never even comprehend!!! Hahahahahahahaha- ! *cough* eugh-

(It means the author has no idea either and that author is just bullshitting) 

"Are you okay.?" Azure didn't even know Mikhail could cough. how can a white sky cough? Maybe it's a logic Azure will never even comprehend.. 

Yeah :3 

Anyways you know what to do, behave on how the Spectre wants you to behave as. A killer. 

"Not like I have a choice! Not killing isn't an option for me anyways yay!" Azure says with fake enthusiasm. Stupid hat and stupid Mikhail. Why also Mikhail? Because yes. 

I heard that. 

"What?" 

What? 

"..." 

"So what do I get from this? You know..like a reward?" Azure atleast wants something worth it from this if he's gotta do things like this. 

...

You really want a reward? 

"Uh duh? I'm not doing free labor.. And the reward has to be convincing...hehe" He considers the task given as working. And what's work without a salary eh? 

... 

Hmm.. fine I have a reward in mind. 

"What may it be?" Azure hopes it would atleast be getting rid of the soul in his hat. The thing having a soul is currently Azures biggest regret in life.

A date with Two Time 

"Cool I'm in.." 

... 

And I thought you would atleast hesitate.. Are you that eager to talk with your lover again? 

"Ex-lover and yes I want to talk to them.. Something about a certain topic we are both very known for in the Fandom.. " Azure hopes to have a proper talk with Two Time without the blood and the forced killing.. 

Did you just..? 

"Hm? Anything wrong?" 

Uh nevermind.. 

Also still lover by the way, You guys never even broke up when they hmm..Unalived you. 

"Huh fair point.. so when is this?" 

Heh after your killer round~ 

"And when is that..?" Azure hopes it's next after Coolkid.. They honestly can't wait to see them again.....Dude be serious they sacrificed you... 

Hmm after 1x1x1x1..John Doe.. and Noli 

"Are you serious..?" Awh man that's like three days.. Azure will certainly explode waiting for that much.. 

Yeah :D 

"Great." 

Great :> 

"..." 

Bye :D 

"Ugh..bye" 

Recently Two Time hasn't gotten a single day of rest. First is their current condition.. the illness where they grow flowers.. it's.. gotten more worse lately. Two Time doesn't even need to think of Azure and yet still they worsen. Perhaps the reasoning for the illness is different this time? 

The second one this time are the killers.. they've recently noticed that the killers have been more aggressive lately.. especially to Two Time. Yet despite that, something would always happen to them. For example coolkid.. that's where it all started really. The child had suddenly gained some awareness for some reason.. 

The next killer 1x1x1x1 didn't have anything happen tho.. Maybe because shedletsky died too early that round? But right after he died 1x came for Two Time right away.. They had died in the end. And when they woke up, Two Time couldn't breath from their lungs. It took a lot of coughing in their cabin just for Two Time to finally breath.. they also felt two little nubs on their head.. perhaps branches are growing again? How fast.. 

Then right after 1x,  there was John Doe.. Ofcourse he started to target Two Time right away.. that's when Two Time actually figured out that they're infact being targeted on purpose.. It was only a miracle on how they managed a backstab with their condition. The rate of growing nightshades upon their body doesn't really stop outside the rounds.. Two Time looked like they had little devil horns on their head with the growing branches.. Their right eye also started going blurry. They're not nearing the end of it..are they? 

Anyways right after that well timed backstab, John Doe had stopped working.. he went and sat on the floor mumbling a 'Where am I?'. They never even knew that John Doe could talk. 

Then the round had ended quite early when Jane Doe had started nearing the killer. 

Now it's Noli.. And ofcourse they're being chased at the moment.. Can't they atleast get some little bits of rest? Their tail literally just freshly turned into a branch.. and a flower bud just grew into their right eye.. they remembered pulling that out back then.. it resulted in decay.. 

"H3H4HHAH4AHA4 BR0OM!!!" Noli with a void rush comes in. Quickly catching up with Two Time after they had just gained some distance. They had just narrowly avoided that. "Hey Noli can't you let me breath for atleast one second?..Agh Ow! You've been chasing me the whole round you know.." Two Time got hit mid sentence. It hurts like hell. They hoped he would atleast stop for one second to reply. 

"1T2 B3- BE3N ON3 MINU- M1NuT3 H0W W34K EV3N A- AR3  Y0OU- AAAAA!?!" Noli fortunately did stop for atleast one second to reply, so Two Time swooped In for a backstab. 

"Y04 B1iiiiii....uh what? Woah...what the hell.." Two Time feels like that interruption to what he was gonna say was well timed. Speaking of—what the heck happened to him? 

"The hell happened to my voice..? It's normal.. YO ITS NORMAL! HEHEAHAAHHA.. this is weird.. BUT HELL YEA!" Noli just stands there laughing like a maniac on how their voice magically turned normal. 

"THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME.. Wait. I need to say one last words before this shit most likely dissappears.." Two Time thinks that doesn't really sound nice at all.. Maybe they should leave? 

"Aha! I know! keekehhheehhe.. 007N7 IS THE-" 

The round abruptly ends.. Kind of a miracle.. Two Time was glad that they didn't have to hear his one last words before the round ends. 

(It's up to you.. what was noli gonna say?)

Two Time wakes up from their bed. They feel weird. Was it their eye? Two Time touches what used to be a bud of nightshades in their eye. It bloomed. Touching it hurt. 

It's okay tho, their right eye had stopped working completely. They can't move and They can blink with the eye. So they aren't scared of accidently moving their eye. Perhaps they shouldn't pull the nightshade out. Actively decaying isn't something that Two Time wishes to experience ever again. 

The others had been growing really concerned about this recently. They couldn't really find an excuse for it. I mean Two Time doesn't even know the reason for it, How would they know what to do? Two Time would just ignore them and lock the cabin door to avoid confrontation. Though Taph and 007n7 never really questioned it. They only knock on the door to deliver food. And thats it, No questions asked. Perhaps Two Time appreciates that a lot. Though eating is useless anyways, They can't swallow much. Even less than they've always eaten in food. Their throat hurts alot when swallowing. Like spikes of branches poke all around their throat when they swallow.

Both of them never really questioned the barely eaten food Two Time hands back. 

The branches on their head had also completely grown now. Two Time wonders if the wings on their back would also sprout as a branches. Would that be more painful than the flesh and bone Two Time got used to? Their skin also started to look weird. Veins grew on their hands, as if it were roots. Maybe it is. 

Their hair..Turned into a pale lavender color. Almost like ash? What would Azure even think of them anymore. They just look horrible. Last time they had this, The flowers were a symbol of their love for Azure. Now Two Time isn't sure if these are the same. 

They wish they could sleep, but the nightmares only await them. How did things become worser? Mikhail only left for how many days? Two Time wished their presence was here. Mikhail had this presence that heals. No perhaps undo? The Entities powerful presence was heavy and cold yet not too cold. It made Two Time feel normal.. is that normal? 

Mikhail had given more hope than the Spawn could ever for Two Time. 

Back then Azure was their hope, the hope for freedom and an identity of their own. He made them feel like themselves. Too bad the rot they were fed with grew into their head. The rot of Spawn made them kill him. So their only hope had died right before their hands. Naturally when one loses hope they find that hope. Two Time had clung unto the Spawn as it was the only thing they knew besides Azure. They had prayed endlessly for Spawn to save them from their wretched body. Spawn had completely covered their mind alongside the memory of Azure. Kind of like the nightshades that grew over his grave.

But it's all useless in the end isn't it? Mikhail had revealed everything. No Mikhail made them figure out everything. Perhaps Mikhail is the Spawn Two Time was looking for. But Mikhail denied the Spawn as they're identity didn't they? Doesn't matter. They don't mind it. Perhaps it's because Mikhail doesn't agree with the way of Spawn and doesn't want to be associated with it? It's fine. Two Time can adjust. 

It was only a matter of time they come back. And they did. Two Time has dreamed again. It's the blank white sky. 

Hello there dear Two Time~ missed me? 

"Very much dear Mikhail.." And Two Time feels no pain in that presence. They feel free. They feel normal. Two Time blinks once, and they were right there. They still have the same form they used last time. The face identical to theirs. They ran to hug the Entity. Two Time is happy to find them hug back. 

Did something happen? Did you really miss me that much? Don't worry I'm  here now~ 

"That's right I missed your very powerful presence dear Mikhail.. Everything has been so horrible without your all seeing eyes." That's right Mikhail is back. Their New Spawn is back. The one to give them a new life. 

You talk really weird. Hehe~ Aren't you quite the expert in compliments~ hm? 

Mikhail combs their messy hair, avoiding the branches well, Their touch cold as always. 

Now dear, Care to tell me what happened to you? I never expected for this...thing to be back.

Mikhail touches the branch on Two Times head, soft and cold. The pain disappears all at once.

Chapter Text

???: The Spawns religion and its reign shall remain for eternity. They are all knowing and all seeing. Something the likes of a being such as you can never achieve. 

But I'm very much real aren't I? That's something that thing can never have. Just Existing! hehehahaha- !

???: You blasphemous wretch. 

Watch your words Cult follower.. I can easily kill you off. Or maybe kill off your student? Two Time was it? 

Don't give me anymore ideas ???, I might just end up doing it~ 

???: Leave this place demon. You have no place in these sacred grounds. And don't you dare get close to Two Time. 

Hey I said to not give ideas you know~~

But fine talking to you is boring anyways.. You people talk about nothing but Spawn Spawn bla bla blah.. what'd I even expect from a cult? 

???: Leave. 

Atleast your not denying its a cult..

Whatever... Your lucky I'm nice. Toodles~ 

-Mikhail and ??? From 13 years ago.

I might know what's happening dear.. It seems like the Spectre has cursed you~ 

Why? I have a hunch.. but it not might be the case.. Now if the Spectre happens to be the same as me, The reason would probably to make you fear permanent death~ 

You've already experienced this grueling death so ofcourse you would be riddled with fear for the end. 

Then with this fear you would once again find yourself praying to the Spawn! 

Now I don't know myself if the Spectre thinks like how I think. So I might be entirely inaccurate~ 

Now Two Time.. Do you find yourself back to the Spawn? 

'If the Spectre thinks like how I think?' The implication gives a shudder to Two Time. Mikhail would've done that if they felt like it. 

"I find myself not praying to the Spawn dear Mikhail. It is you I pray to" but they didn't feel like it. That is enough to Two Time. 

Hm~ you do? Now isn't that just lovely huh? 

Although I can't even hear prayers sadly.. How could I know your telling the truth? 

"I can prove it by forever staying with you.. You can have all that I am.. just grant everyone the freedom that they deserve!" Two Time had already come to a conclusion that freedom isn't something that a person like them deserves. Their existence is nothing but sin. 

But if Two Time is giving up their life, they could atleast exchange it for the life of the others. Ones freedom for another's freedom. His freedom. 

I can have all that you are? Are you.. sacrificing yourself to me? 

"Indeed..Such kindness from you shouldn't be without a price. And my life is already worthless as it is. You're the only one that would be willing to have it anyways." Perhaps between them and Azure, Two Time is the one that lost their life. 

Two Times life is long gone. They're only holding on to his. 

But one day Two Time will give it back. 

What happened to your hopes Two Time? Have you let go? 

It was the voice of Azure..or what they think he sounded like, The hat never let him talk.. 

Two Times hopes has already been long gone. Azure was their hope. He made them feel like something, that they are something. In the end they killed their own hope. 

The Spawn had already crawled in their head. Rotting it and eating with the maggots that feasted on his body. Taking over it like the nightshades that covers his grave. 

Shouldn't you atleast think over it? I mean I could grant you freedom you know? You don't need to stay with me. 

Mikhail cradles Two Time as if theyre dealing with a delicate child. Perhaps they are. They're touch ofcourse feels somehow empty. 

"Freedom isn't something I deserve. I have already thought about that." Two Time had a lot of time to think it over. Perhaps this is the reason why the nightshades grew faster. They drowned themselves in their own hatred, spending everyday hating their own existence. Hating themselves for what they did to him. The nightshades reminded them in every waking moment. 

Perhaps Two Time was already cursed before this. Or maybe born a curse? They do nothing but cause pain and misery. Especially to him. 

The curse sure made you think a lot~ Did the nightshades tell you things?

And are you really sure it's me you prayed for? 

"Indeed it is you.. You're the only one to grant me what I want." They didn't pray to Mikhail. They prayed for Azure. But they don't know that. Their mind is all too jumbled to realize that. 

The nightshades did tell the obvious but Two Time didn't see that. Two Time only saw the resentment for their own existence. 

What would Azure think of this dear? Have you atleast considered him? 

"I have indeed considered him.. he'll still be freed by you would he not? And he shouldn't really be concerned with me.." They are confident that Azure wouldn't want. to have anything to do with them. 

You..are adamant. Perhaps you need someone else to tell you the obvious truth. 

My way clearly doesn't work in making you think.. 

Perhaps it's time that you wake up now. He will be awaiting you this time. But he isn't conscious, do not believe his actions to be his answer. 

I'll slowly undo this curse once you wake up. But for now endure it. I'll come to see you once his round is over. 

Ah so his turn is now.. Isn't this a bit perfect? Two Time could atleast say goodbye to him.. "Is it almost time for them all to be freed?" 

Perhaps... Toodles dear~

Mikhails current form stares into the distance. Deep in thought. 

I didn't expect for things to escalate like this.. So much for just wanting to annoy the Spectre... 

I mean it's a cultist what'd I expect.?

"You planned this stupid.. You're messing with the kids mind on purpose" A new voice resounds in the 'dreamspace?'

Hm~ 

I guess I did~ I just wanted to see how their mind works.. what are you gonna do about it Telamon? 

"Absolutely nothing.. Trying to tell you to do things is like talking to a brickwall." Shedletsky replies tired of Mikhail. Still munching on some chicken... 

"And it's Shedletsky not Telamon." Mikhail loves to call them Telamon for some reason.. 

Telamon. 

And why do you keep using my realm to sneak in buckets of chicken in the Spectres realm?? You know you could sneak in a bunch of things and you still choose that... 

"Why would I need to sneak in other things? Your planning to free us anyways, there's no point in trying to free myself. You're always watching afterall" Shedletsky takes a big chomp into the chicken. 

"And chicken from outside is delicious, the chicken the Spectre gives is a bit tasteless.." 

"Also please stop delaying things and free us already.. I dont wanna keep staying there.." And still Shedletsky forgot what they said about brickwalls and demanded Mikhail. 

Don't tell me what to do..

Our agreement was I free you all in the condition of I get to do what I want first. Remember?

Unless you don't want to be freed? 

"Damn okay sorry I guess, whatever.. do what you want.. just don't overdo it." Shedletsky makes eye contact with Mikhail. 

And here I thought you didn't wanna be free Telamon~ 

"Yeah no thanks this place sucks..also it's Shedletsky!" 

Telamon. 

"Do you really plan to annoy me like this?" 

Telamon :D 

"..." 

You should get of here, a round is starting. 

"Ugh Whatever bye Mikhail.." Sometimes Shedletsky thinks on what if he didn't reach Mikhail first and it was the Spectre. Would they actually help the Spectre? They probably would.. Shedletsky could only hope that Mikhail stays in their side. 

It was only a miracle that he somehow  managed to make Mikhail help them. 

Now how do I plan a secret wedding without Two certain individuals noticing it's a wedding? 

Ah yes a picnic~

Chapter Text

Indeed it was another round Azure is forced into, and their body was not of their own..Their body moves to kill, but their mind says to stop. They're all too aware of each action, each movement. 

The hat cackles with laughter as his body slaughters another victim. Azure counts the victims slowly. Awaiting for it to end 

One.. 

Two.. 

Three.. 

They drop like flies, yet the bloodshed doesn't stop. The control only goes stronger for each kill. 

'Oh Spawns. I hope I don't see Two Time anytime soon..' Azure begs in their mind, As another one fell into a trap of his doing. 

'Oh goodness me- Forgive me for my actions...!' Azure frantically apologizes to the survivor despite being unable to be heard. It's useless anyways as the tendrils on their back—snaps the neck of said survivor in an instant.. 

'And their goes the fourth..eughhhh.. there should be..four more, and it was right on timing when the trap that he just placed in another location was suddenly activated by one of the survivors. They got notified of the location. 'Oh goodness.. someone bless my non-beating heart..' He says as if he's the current victim.. 

They quickly rush over to the location, Counting the time for when the trap eventually releases the trapped. Though it was quite the surpise when they see an upside down Two Time.. Oh dang it.. 

"Azure! Uh...hm..jeez..how did I even fall for that..?" Two Time mumbles to themselves embarrassed..luckily Azure didn't hear the rest after he heard their name get called out. And is now looming over the upside down Two Time. 

(If you must know, the trap was out in the open and Two Time got really curious..) 

'What's with the nightshade get up? It's pretty tho....hehe' Azure thought giddy. Wait til this bozo finds out lmao- sorry 

"The hell happened with you? You look like a corpse." Ofcourse the words that the hat spits out is the opposite... Azure hopes Two Time doesn't take this one to heart.. 

"Uhm I'll explain when I'm not upside down.?" Two Time says with a nervous smile, looking up at Azures intimidating form.. "My head is currently really fuzzy right now.. perhaps you could consider releasing me...?" Fuzzy as in the blood is rushing to their head.. yeah Azure doesn't know what to do about that.. 

"There's a cooldown for that. I'll just wait instead." The hat replies dryly at Two Time. What kind of torture is that...? Azure is horrified and very upset at the stupid hat. 

"Ugh..this is unfair why is the cooldow..n rea..lly long.." Imagine that's actually a Canon thing... the way it would probably get nerfed so fast..okay sorry bye- 

"It's in 3 seconds chill..or maybe not chill because I'm totally gonna get you after."

The hat says threatening Two Time. Azure says no no.. Two Time could only smile nervously at them. 

And then the hat starts counting.

'Fucking copycat' says Azure. It's seriously not that deep but Azure just really hates the hat with a burning passion. 

One. 

Two. 

Three. 

And Two Time got released and unceremoniously fell down. "Oof- !" They groan in pain. 

The fall was really short tho.? 

"Ready to run? Get up and start!" The hat ugh.. speaks I guess. (Can yall tell that I do not want to even bother with the hat anymore?) 

One would expect Two Time to run... But instead they did something that broke Azure... and the Hat too for some reason.. Two Time quickly dashed forward towards Azure and embraced him tightly, snuggling their face against his neck. 

'Uh- wha- hah- huh........?' Azure was speechless and broken. The hat is just silent ig.. "You've caught me Azure.. You can kill me now.." Two Time mumbles into Azure, breathing unto the scarf that Azure wears. (Eugh that's the same scarf that he died in..) 

"Uhm no thanks? Why would I?" Azure finally responding, hugs Two Time back out of instinct. 

Two Time freezes.. They quickly look up at Azure "Wait Azure you can talk..?" 

"No..? Wait.. I can?" Azure says with their mouth infact zippered open.. What happened? Did Mikhail do something? 

Azure breaks the hug to grab the hat from their head. It's not glued hooray.... and the glowing purple face is now white.. it's silent and it's dead, they think... "Hello hat..?" 

The hat doesn't respond, The mouth  hanging open.. 'Eugh creepy.....and really ugly' Azure thought. "Right..I'm just gonna.." Azure awkwardly puts the hat on the floor. 

"Your hat had its own sentience.? I thought it was you talking.." Two Time sneaks behind Azure while looking at the very silent hat. 

Azure puts their distance as they were in fact not very used to Two Times touch in a long time. "I'm not even this harsh when im angry you know that.. The hat just wouldn't let me talk." Azure looks at Two Time sadly. Did they really believe that Azure hated them? 

Two Time was a bit saddened at Azures aversion to their touch, so they just remain silent. Ignoring the words Azure said. (They dense like that lol) 

"Uhm..it seems the clock has also stopped.. I think? I hear no ticking noises.." Azure adds to the awkward silence. Two Time could only nod. 

"Wanna..go..find..others..?" Azure suggested hesitantly. They aren't sure if Two Time is fine around him. Two Time looks at them with a tiny smile as confirmation. 

'Do they still think im a threat right now..? Maybe I should keep some distance for now...Azure you suck! Ahhh' He internally scolds himself for scaring Two Time. 

Meanwhile.. 

'Oh I should probably stay away.. They don't trust me anymore do they.? I'm the worst.. Oh Two Time you're so stupid..stupid stup-' Two Time internally insults themselves for betraying Azure. 

"Uhm wanna lead the way.?" Azure politely ask Two Time, keeping a fair distance from their back. 'I should probably make them go first.. and stay distant in the back...' 

Two Time only nods quietly before taking the lead 'Ofcourse they don't even want to trust their back with me.. Oh they hate me! Ughh Two Time you stupid stu-' 

The misunderstanding is deep.. losers 

"Two Time I've got you!" A person blurs right pass Two Time, It was Shedletsky. "Agh- ! What the!?" And he slashed Azure.. 

"Come on quick!" He grabs Two Times hand and quickly rushed out of there.. They never really made distance as Two Time wouldn't budge from their spot. "Uh.. Wait Shedletsky, Azure isn't killing right now.." Two Time takes their reddened hand away from Shedletsky, he's pretty strong for someone Two Time has never seen workout.. 

"Uh what?" He stops in his tracks to look at the two. Azure looks at him irritated. "Augh that hurt like a bitch.. It didn't hurt this much last time.." He did get slashed by Shedletsky on his first round. Azure mumbled to themselves as Two Time nervously hovered around him, worried and scared of touching him to check if he got hurt. 

"Uh to explain, currently the round has basically stopped.? But not ended." Two Time looks at shedletsky with a nervous smile. "We don't really know why, but Azure became..tame?" Azure quickly looks at Two Time. "Can I get a better wording?" 

"Oh..uh sorry." Two Time ofcourse took that to heart and apologized. "Nevermind, no need for the sorry.." Azure then quickly responds panicking silently. They didn't mean to make them sad.. 

"You two...nevermind, you sure you aren't feeling like killing?" Shedletsky starts before stopping himself to interrogate Azure instead. 

"The hat does that for me.. but fortunately I think it died. For some reason.." Azure hates that hat with great passion now, back before his debut as a killer he didn't even mind. But now, that thing was just so insufferable. "You don't think Mikhail did something do you?" Azure suggested after dissing the hat in their thoughts. 

"Probably. Saw any signs of them?" Shedletsky responds to the killer, not even questioning on how Azure knows Mikhail. 

"Why don't you both look at the sky instead.." Two Time says mid conversation, while looking at the blank white sky. A very obvious sign of Mikhail. 

"Oh yeah and I was wondering why the map was strangely brighter than normal.." Shedletsky says looking at the sky, squinting. 

"Mikhail? Hello?" Azure tries to talk the sky, as usually Mikhail talks from the white sky. Nothing really responded tho. 

"Mikhail what are you doing. Respond?" Shedletsky tired of their shit, questions the unresponsive sky. But it was futile as ofcourse the sky doesn't respond. 

"Mikhail..? Nevermind I don't think they're presen-" Two Time speaks up to others but was cut off with a voice. Mikhails voice. 

No I'm here.. I was just busy doing something sorry.. hehe 

"No you weren't, your the type to respond to someone's text in one second, while being asleep before hand." Shedletsky deadpans at Mikhail. They pretty much know their shit by now. 

You suck Telamon. How'd you know? 

"Because your also the type to ignore someone's text while your free as a bird. On purpose. " At this point he had already given up on trying to correct Mikhail with his name. 

I don't even have a phone.... But your kinda right Hehe~ 

"Can we go back on track? What did you do?" Azure interrupts the very unserious conversation. He does not wanna listen to this. Infact he needs this round to end..something about some ehem..promised date.. 

Hehe excited are we? 

But anyways I'm currently.. working on how you guys escape... And the killers I guess.. some of the corruption is hard to undo when they're already really bad.. 

But currently I have the Spectre on a chokehold, so no need to worry~ 

How did Mikhail know what Azure was thinking??? Okay maybe he shouldn't even ask if Mikhail managed to even have the Specter on a chokehold.. did they mean that literally tho? 

"Are you finally gaining control of the realm?" Shedletsky asks Mikhail seriously. 

Indeed I am. 

And as soon as you all escape, I think I'll destroy this place. It's pretty ugly anyways. 

"I think that's for the better anyways. The existence of this place should be terminated for good." Shedletsky says to Mikhail as he signals for the others to follow him, probably gonna lead them to the rest of remaining survivors on the map 

Are you gonna start working on better security after this? Don't think I've not heard you discuss things with builderman~ 

"Yeah I guess, there's no point in hiding that. I've been talking to Builderman and Matt about it.. Don't want a repeat of this you know?" Shedletsky says taking a glance at the two following him.

Good for you~ doing something to protect your people. What a great admin indeed~ 

Unlike a certain Ceo of Robl- 

Shedletsky and the two ignore the random quip from Mikhail, they love spitting out random things that don't make sense. So they don't really care to listen. 

"Hey Shed! Over here!" The voice of Elliot calls for Shedletsky, he perks up at the direction and proceeded to walk there along with the other two. 

"Hi Two Time! And...uh the killer..?" Elliot greets Two Time with a smile before awkwardly greeting the killer. "It's Azure" he says politely trying not to be scary with his very spooky killer form. 

"Alright! Well anyways me and Dusekkar found a portal! But Dusekkar has already went in.. he said it's safe" Elliot leads the group into the said portal. 

Well duh it is safe.. it's literally the portal to my realm. 

"Oh hi Mikhail!" Elliot smiles at the sky. What a friendly person indeed. 

Hi Elliot :D 

"Anyways I stayed behind just to tell you guys. So let's go?" Elliot smiles at the group while halfway inside the portal.

"Allright" Shedletsky says going in the portal after Elliot. 

You guys should go in, I'll pretty much destroy this place soon. 

"Shall we?" Azure looks at Two Time. "Sure.." Two Time kooks at Azure 

And they both went in the portal. 

Two Time opens their eyes.. They were in the 'dreamscape'. No wait.. Mikhails supposed realm? 

So it was never a dream afterall.. Ofcourse they also lied about that. This place looks different though.. there are white curtains everywhere. And a blanket in the middle? Wait Azure and Mikhail? 

"Uhm hello?" Two Time walks slowly over to the two.. Why are the white curtains arranged to be like long hallway? This setup is weird. 

Oh hi there Two Time dear~ ! Come sit with us! 

Mikhail pats the unoccupied spot right next to them, while Azure just silently looks at Two Time. "What's the occasion?" Two Time sits down at the blanket, only realizing the change in clothing. Their usual clothes have now turned into a dress. Two Time looks at Azure, and Azure only stares back. Their clothes have also changed, but this one is a suit. 

It's a picnic :D 

I wanted a picnic :D 

"Are you sure this is a picnic?" Azure finally talks after being silent. They averted their eyes from Two Time. 

Uh yeah duh? This is how picnics are obviously arranged! 

"No it is not??? I literally have a suit on?" Azure argues back at Mikhails obvious bullshit. Two Time can double on the fact that this is indeed not a picnic. 

Shh...dont tell me what's right or wrong..

You asked for this did you not? 

Mikhail forcibly averted the topic with a very hollow smile. Maybe Azure should stop questioning Mikhail, Two Time could feel the patience thinning.. 

"Ugh Whatever.. Also why do you need to be here?" Azure asks Mikhail irritated. 

To be the referee :D 

"Uhm what?" Two Time speaks up after listening to the two. Really concerned and confused. 

"No ignore them.. I only asked for them to arrange a time for us for a talk...not this.. picnic" Azure looks at Two Time apologetically, maybe asking Mikhail for things was a mistake.. 

Two Time is kind of regretting getting in that portal awhile ago. Maybe they shoul've been destroyed with the realm, just to escape whatever this is.. 

Yeah ignore me~ 

Mikhail grabs a teacup out of nowhere and begins sipping tea...only if there was tea. Azure smells nothing from that cup. And Two Time thinks that there's nothing in that cup.. 

"So uhm.. how have you been after what happened to me..?" Azure starts, not knowing how to start it better than that. 

"Oh..uh that.. I just died in the end...I guess" Two Time could only look away from Azure. What else should they even say? Maybe mentioning that is a bad idea. 

"What do you mean.?" Azure looks at Two Time concerned, but Two Time only stays silent. "What happened?" Azure says as they look at Mikhail for answers. Perhaps it is indeed a bad idea. 

Mikhail slowly looks over from Azure to Two Time. Two Time uses the wings on their head to cover their face from Mikhails gaze. Mikhail goes back to looking at Azure, and smiles as they raise their hand to point at their own right eye, and to then pointing at Two Time. This snitch. 

"Wait.. those nightshades are real? How did they.?" Two Time regrets even answering that now. They should've just kept their mouth shut. "Listen Azure.. you shouldn't concern yourself over me. It's fine. That was a long time ago." 

"But why wouldn't I concern over you?." Azure tries answers Two Time quietly, yet their voice raised just a little bit. 

"Please just don't..i don't deserve your concern.." Two Time finally looks at Azure in the eye. "That doesn't- !" Azure starts before getting swiftly cut off by Mikhail.

Perhaps we shouldn't dwell on this yet? This has only started. 

Instead say what you both feel for eachother right now. Say what you want to say. 

Two Time.

Mikhail looks at Two Time blankly, signaling for them to go first. Two Time looks at Mikhail then at Azure. 

"I'm... so sorry Azure..I know saying that won't fix anything, but still I really am sorry..God I was so stupid...Really stupid." Two Time rambles on as Mikhail looks at Azure sternly. Preventing them from interrupting Two Time. 

"I deserve every bit of anger you have for me.. So please.. Don't concern yourself. Someone else deserves that. I'm just a waste of time" Two Time looks at Azure their eyes glossy from unreleased tears. And to Azure, Two Time looked divine. 

"I don't deserve to be forgiven and I don't deserve you.. So please just stop worrying about me." 

'Now I actually wished I had tea.. What does tea taste like?' 

Mikhail looks at the very empty cup that they've been sipping for awhile now.. 

Dear Two Time plans to die after this, something about giving your life back to you..I don't know ehe~ 

Mikhail let's out what Two Time was planning without Azures knowledge, Two Time looks at them in shock and betrayal. Mikhail only smiles brightly at them. 

"Mikhail..." 

Blep :p 

Azure.

Mikhail cuts off Two Time before they get to say anything more to Mikhail, swiftly looking at a very silent Azure. 

"..." Azure opens their mouth, not finding any words to say. They have so much to say, yet not much to let out. How will he convince Two Time that they still matter to him without it going the other ear? 

"I don't forgive you.. But that doesn't mean I hate you! It's that I'm.. willing to try and forgive you." Azure starts before quickly adding more when they saw Two Times face deflate. "I've thought about it for a long time now.. And I don't think I can get myself to hate you, I mean the Spectre tried, but I just couldn't.. " 

"What I mean is.. that I care a lot for you nightshade.. and I wanna forgive you. Its just your making it hard you know? If you really did leave me, then I won't be able to forgive you nor myself." Azure stood up to approach Two Time, grabbing their hand to make them stand. 

"So please.. keep living for my sake would you? I don't think I can handle a world without you." Azure caresses Two Times face, and looking at them intensely. Their face a little too close. 

"If it means for me to be stuck here forever to just be with you..then I would stay here til the end. So don't leave without me." Azure presses the head together, Closing his eyes to feel the warmth of their nightshade. Two Time breaks out of their stupor to hug Azure tightly. 

'Unknown Till the end menti-' 

Well seems like I was right. 

He's the only one that can get through your tiny little head~ 

Mikhail stands up to break apart the two gently, the two ofcourse refused to, until Mikhail gave them a scary look. 

Alright to end things here, I need you both to say the words 'I do' when I ask two specific questions okay? No refusing! 

"Why is there no other choice?" Azure says to Mikhail, while holding Two Times hand. 

Shh! Ehem- 

Azure! 

Do you promise to forever love Two Time for what they are and what they are like no matter what changes about them? 

"I do.......?" Azure says feeling nervous on about the way Mikhail said things a bit too fast for their liking. Is this an obvious trap they're walking into? 

Two Time!

Do you promise to forever love Azure and not think about dying nor killing them and just love them forever? 

"Uhm! I do..?" Those words kinda hurt to Two Time.. What is Mikhail planning, and why are they talking so fast like their life depends on it? 

Oh geez what was it? So in sickness and in health..? Ah yes- 

"Wait a minute- ! " Azure realizes before he gets cut off by Mikhail. 

Raise the curtains! 

And You may now kiss the bride!!! Hehehahaha! 

The curtain rises and disappears to reveal an outdoor wedding? Uh and everything is white ofcourse.. the grass is gray, the trees are grey, and the flower decorations are white... oh yeah and everyone's here. 

"Congratulations..! Sorry we were kind of forced to plan this.." Elliot shouts from the chairs, that were neatly arranged facing the flower arch, that Mikhail and the other two are under. 

"I knew it.....Did you all hear that?" Azure questions a bit mad, while Two Times face looks horrified. 

"Nope! The curtains were magically soundproof for some reason!" Chance says with a dashing white suit, already eating some of the food an actual person cooked. 

"Oh good..... uhm so.. Are we the ones that got married?" Two Time sighs in relief, holding on to Azures hand. 

"Obviously... man I didn't even know we were planning a wedding.. why is most of the food, mozzarella fries?" Shedletsky sadly looks at their chickenless plate. 

Azure perks up at the mention of certain foods, before focusing back on Two Time and Mikhail. 

"You clever bastard.." Azure says before grabbing Two Times hand and heads off to find food. 

Your absolutely welcome Hehe~ 

"Hey Mikhail" 

Mikhail looks to the direction of tables where the killers are sat. They were also invited it seems. 

"Where'd you get the alcohol from?" 1x1x1x1 asks as he looks at the very drunk Noli. He's only had like.. Three drinks.. 

Oh that? I made it? I looked at some random recipe I stole from somewhere.. I forgot where tho.. it took me 60 years for that :D 

But don't worry! You won't wake up to a hangover~ 

"Really? Hmm well okay." 1x1x1x1 looks at the bottle suspiciously before downing it in one go "Hey- give...me shum!" Noli shouts at 1x1x1x1, words slurring. 

"Maybe that's a bad idea? It's from them afterall.." Jane who happens to also be there, sitting right next to John doe and Jason. 

She had already prevented the two from drinking as John is still a bit disorientated and Jason is well.. yk 

"It is indeed a bad idea as I feel like hunting sum chicken! HAHAHA-" 1x1x1x1 shouts suddenly, after downing the bottle that was now on nolis hand. Its empty and Nolis crying?

"Chicken where?" Shedletsky asks from somewhere, outing his current location. And a sword happens to head to his direction. "Oh- what the hell!?" 

What a cute bunch :3

Oh gee I can't wait to sleep again for a 100 years and then wake up realising I'm actually in a fanfic!

Wait..

And the event slowly ends..  and in the end, everyone went on their way and eventually left the eternal hell.. 

The day after that, waking up to a bright sky felt surreal and relieving.. Some of them reunited with their family, Some of them fixed bonds with one another.. it truly was the end. 

But ofcourse those who drank, woke up with the most horrendous hangover. Courtesy of Mikhail, they had purposely made sure the hangover was as horrible as possible. 

The end... or is it? Badum! 

Yeah actually it's the end. Lol

Chapter Text

And here I thought I would be quite lonely after the events that happened weeks ago~ 

What are you all doing here in my realm..? 

Mikhail looks at the group of people that had barged into their realm and started lazing around in. Despite it being unwelcome, Mikhail never bothered to even kick them out. They all did infact put effort in finding the doorway to their realm. 

"Running away from responsibilities for atleast one moment." Shedletsky says in a patch of colorless grass somewhere. The realm has now turned into some grassy plains with actual wind. It was quite the comfy place. 

Although everything here seems to be gray and white. Not a single ounce of color could be seen, except for the very colorful group of people currently in the realm. 

Mikhail after freeing them, had actually put effort in shaping their realm into something less boring and not just be some white blank space. They had planned to just sleep in there until they would eventually wake up 100 years into the future. 

Does my personal space also need to be infiltrated while you're all here? 

There sits Mikhail with their lap being occupied by Two Time and Azure using them as their personal pillow. And then there's Taph hiding within their very large robes. 

If i had known that I would have three hooligans snuggling against me, then I would've never even manifested a form and just stayed in the sky.. 

What is even wrong with you all people? I mean I literally gave you all nightmares back when I met with you all.. 

Mikhail questions the logic of these robloxians.. sometimes they don't understand what even goes through all their heads, despite being gifted with the ability to see all there is to see. 

"Oh yeah I remember that, you like gave me the memories of Itrappeds thoughts back when we used to hang out, and whispered cruel shits in my ear while I witnessed Itrappeds thoughts. Oh the memories" Chance rambles on while the others just looked at him and Mikhail concerned. Elliot just brushed it off to add another thing that Mikhail did. 

"Mikhail only made me and 007n7 brawl it out in a ruined pizza place for some reason.." Elliot mumbles to the others while looking at 007n7 who is occupied playing with Coolkid. 

I also made you dream of a scenario of your family burning while you were away unable to come home, why haven't you added that? 

"Ugh do you have to remind me?" Elliot gives Mikhail the side eye. Mikhail only smiles back. Then Shedletsky spoke up again. "You like gave me a horrendous dream. 1x1x1x1 butchering my supply of chickens.." 

"Seriously?" Builderman replies tired. Shedletsky smiles brightly at the group. 

You don't consider me whispering words of hatred and despair on how you're the worst creator ever in existence to your ears the most horrendous? 

Mikhail questions Shedletsky horrified that they didn't do good in traumatizing them, the others could only look at Shedletsky in concern. 

Dang it.. and I thought being the young and innocent 1x1x1x1 would deal a huge blow with it.. shall we try again Telamon? 

Mikhail rambles on before finishing a creepy smile that they flash at Shedletsky."On second thought maybe that was the worst nightmare.. We don't need a repeat." Shedletsky takes back on their words. He does not want to be forced into the Telamon outfit while 1x1x1x1 screams at them in agony ever again.. 

If you say so :D 

"It seems we're all sharing our experiences with Mikhail now? What about you builds?" Shedletsky comments, brushing off the suggestion of Mikhail before they could actually decide to act on it. 

"Only the destruction of Robloxia because of my ignorance.. nothing more" Builderman says while laying in the grass with their eyes closed. Shedletsky pouts and pokes at Builderman for not sharing more. 

"Too bad the others aren't here, would've loved to here from them! And the other three is asleep. What cheaters." Chance says laying somewhere neat the group, still with energy despite the very comfortable winds that passes by. 

Now that's why im wondering on why you're all still here. I did things horrible afterall~ 

Mikhail says while combing the hair of the sleeping Two Time snuggled all up on Azure. Mikhail would've looked like a caring parent if they all didn't know any better. 

"I guess it's just that.. You make up for all that by doing something good right after. And freeing us from that wretched place doubled on that." Elliot answers Mikhails question. Right after what they did to him, they actually went their way to arrange some way for Elliot to be able to talk with his sister. It was through letters, and Elliot quite enjoyed the process of writing one. 

"Mikhail.. why did you free us? I know it wasn't just because you believe in good. And you don't. Just.. why?" Shedletsky asks while looking at the white sky. Mikhail smiles to reply. 

It was all because I was petty~ 

"What?" 

You see.. back before you all got trapped here, I actually stumbled upon a relative of Two Time~ and they managed to somehow piss me off! They had went and rambled on about how I'm fake and...I forgot- but whatever! 

So I promised them that I'll manage to break the faith of one of their students for the Spawn. and guess who's the student~ 

"Ooh Two Time?" Chance answers seriously as if the answer wasn't obvious enough. 

Indeed it is Two Time! That conversation was actually 13 years ago so.. they're probably dead by now.. I think? I never asked Two Time. 

Anyways right after making that promise I traveled through space for the reason that I forgot.. 

And then I managed to run over the Spectre~ and they died I guess.. 

"You what.?" Builderman opens their eyes in shock. But didn't Mikhail kill the Spectre when they freed them? 

Uh yes the Spactre has been dead the whole time.. And yes I was the one controlling everything the whole time.. 

Atleast it didn't last long right? I just needed to do that for the sake of making my plan work! 

"Ugh you know what it doesn't even matter anymore, you've already stopped to free us. You won't trap us like the Spectre right?" Builderman questions Mikhail suspiciously. They've already proven they're not the greatest of random powerful beings afterall. 

Eh doing that kind of thing isn't my kind of style.. It was boring. 

I was only there to play with you all.. nothing less. 

Are you going also going to sleep now? The other are.. 

Mikhail looks at the group sleeping all around them. Perhaps this place makes for a great sleeping place afterall. Mikhail is happy to know that they've got the right requirements for sleeping a hundred years. 

"Yeah might as well." Builderman says before drifting off to sleep. How tired is this man to sleep this fast? 

Mikhail looks down at Two Time, Sleeping soundly with Azure. How peaceful. 

Too bad this is just an alternate universe. The real you is still trapped in that hell. But that's not my problem no? 

And yes it isn't yours too, Telamon. You shouldn't concern yourself for a world that isn't yours. Only focus on this one. Don't think I haven't seen you realising the truth of this world. 

Shedletsky opens their closed eyes, he makes eye contact with Mikhail. "You knew? I guess there's no escaping your eyes afterall." Shedletsky sighs in defeat. "But you're right i shouldn't. I have this one to take care of afterall." Shedletsky closes back their eyes to sleep. 

That world is only for that Telamon and Builderman to solve. We shouldn't interfere. 

Just enjoy the gift of freedom I have granted instead.
