A/N: It's Lavender with another crappy fanfic yay. This one is a darker ending, where Flint and the FLDSMDFR make a deal; Flint asks the machine to stop its hurricane. It agrees, but only if Flint stays with the machine. So what happens to Flint? When will he get out; and if he does, will he come out alive? Read and see~

Note: I can write 1st person articles better than 2nd or 3rd person articles, and most of my fanfics shift between POV's, so there may be one point in the story where (e.g. Sam) someone else can be telling the story.

Also the FLDSMDFR can talk (again).

Chapter 1 [Flint's POV]

"Goodbye, Sam." I said after I bit the licorice rope, causing me to fall.

"FLINT NOOOO!" Sam screamed.

"That was the last thing I heard before I fell into the FLDSMDFR's new home. I fell down, screaming. I landed with a massive thump, right on a tortilla chip!

My machine got alerted immediately and said "CORN." as it fired a giant corn at me. I would've dodged it if my body didn't hurt from the fall. It slammed me to the ground, on my neck. I couldn't breathe, and was choking loudly. Very loudly.

It started looking for me. I was noticed almost immediately. I got picked up with some vines and was prepared to be killed.

Then, I got an idea.

"Stop! Don't kill me, please!" I pleaded. "Just hear me out, ok!?"

It hesitated, much to my surprise. I took a deep breath and said, "Ok. You're making a giant food storm. I want you to stop because I don't want you to destroy the world. You can make it rain food regularly, but don't destroy the world. It's an easy request..."

I trailed off. The machine stared at me for a moment, then said, "Alright, but on one condition: you have to stay here with me b-"

"WHAT!?" I shrieked, cutting it off. "Why?!"

It glared at me again, and said: "You're my inventor, Flint. I need you here to protect and repair me if I need it. I can also feed and protect you." Its glare and voice suddenly sharpened. "I can stop my storm, protect and feed you, while you can repair and protect me."

I sighed. It was a fair enough deal, but I didn't want to give up everything. But it was either me, or the world- my friends and family; and millions of innocent people. It held out one of its legs for me to shake. I sighed one more time and shook it. "Deal," I said sternly.

It gave me one more sharp glare, then set me on the ground. I walked over to a spot where I planned to sit down, but I couldn't do that without ticking off my machine. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!"

"I'm just sitting downnAAAAAHHHHHH!" I responded, only to be interrupted by my machine grabbing me with vines. It pulled me to the left of where I was; on the machine's left side. It tied up my whole body; my wrists were tied together and my ankles each had a vine on them, gripped tightly.

"Ok..." I mumbled, looking around me. My neck suddenly felt tight, and then I realized I was being strangled by vines. I choked and struggled, but to no avail. Everything turned black, my head felt heavy, and I fell unconscious.
