He gave a grunt and turned over, seeing how the people in the room would react. They simply stood still until they thought it was safe to move again. 'Stupid sons of bitches better get the fuck out of my room' he thought. He was about to get up as he heard a knock on the door. The others quickly looked at the door too. "KK, we need to talk."
It was Sollux. 'What was he doing up at this fucking time?' More knocking. The strangers crept to the door, one standing on one side the other on the other side. One opened the door, slowly. Karkat slowly crept up, careful not to alert the creeps. He crept into the room as they opened the door. Sollux eyed him as he was barely visible by the light from the open door. "KK?"
Karkat put his finger up to his lips, motioning for Sollux to shut the fuck up. The red and blue lensed friend stared at him. Karkat motioned that there were people on either side of the doorway. Sollux nodded and reached out for the door handle, pulling the door closed slowly. Right before it closed fully, he slammed it open, smashing the stanger on that side, then gave a kick in the head to the other kneeled stranger.
In the commotion Karkat ran over to the scene and pushed one of them against the wall. Sollux was holding the stranger's arm behind him, pushing & holding him at the ground. "Who the fuck are you?" Karkat said.
They stayed silent. "Well? Fucking say something!"
Still, they said nothing, simply looked at each other. "Why are you here?" Sollux said.
"That be nunya bussiness, buhro" one said, almost unintelligable.
"Featherbeast shit it's not you nooksuckers, you've been in my mother fucking room for a few damned minutes!" Karkat exclaimed.
He proceeded to take them both by the collar, lifting them up and throwing them outside of the room. Sollux had texted Equius as he was doing the 'closing the door slowly' trick earlier, so they could deal with him and whoever else he brought up, if anyone. Karkat slammed the door, and switched on the lights. Sollux simply stared at him. "When the fuck were you able to do that?"
He grunted. "You gotta do shit like that if you're an unlucky mother fucker like me."
"You know, I think Gamzee rubbed off on you all thothe years ago." Sollux said.
"One, that fucking sounded wrong as all of the holy ass shit in the Skaia. Two, shut the fuck up."
Karkat plopped on the couch and rubbed his eyes. "So what the fuck did you come by for?"
Sollux sat down on the other couch. "Well... I've found thome thtuff."
"About?!"
"The rebel faction. And Eridan."
Karkat stared at him. "Eridan?"
"Yeth."
"Well fucking tell me!"
Sollux looked around, making sure noone was around. "I found fileth he'th been hiding in hith room."
"You went in that fuckers room?"
"Of courthe. You know how I am with thuthpicionth."
"Meh, that's true. So, what the fuck did you find?"
He pulled out a paper, that had signatures on it. "What the fuck is that?" Karkat said, snatching it.
He stared at it for a second. 'Rebel Extermination XXCB'. Signed by everyone in Karkat's floor, including him. "Did you find anything else?!"
Sollux nodded. "Naturally" he said, pulling out a packet.
Karkat grabbed those too, tossing the page to the side. He read what was in the packet. Plans to eliminate the rebels. And on the last page it had a list of names. Names that looked all too familiar. "This can't be fucking right" he said, tossing the packet back to Sollux.
He shook his head and set the papers down. "That'th what thought. At firtht."
He opened up an envelope he had set aside aswell. He pulled out what looked like pictures. "Look at thethe. They were taken ath the rebelth were going back into the foretht."
Karkat looked them over. "Son of a BITCH" he said.
The pictures were of rebels, yes. And some that Karkat hadn't seen in several years. Dave, Rose, Nepeta, Aradia, Vriska, Tavros and... Terezi and Gamzee. They were all clear this time. He knew it was them. "Just what the fuck is Eridan fucking doing here?!"
"I'd like to know mythelf."
Karkat tossed the papers and junk back to Sollux. "Put this shit back, we're gonna have a little 'talk' with this fucker."
Sollux nodded and put the papers away. "Although, thothe were only signatureth from our floor. Middle rankerth. What about the higher upth?"
Karkat nodded. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're in on it too."
"It'th a pothibility, but you never know."
"We'll just have to fucking find out, won't we?"
Sollux smiled and nodded. "I better go put thith thtuff up."
Karkat looked at him. "Yeah, and we'll see each other again in the morning."
Sollux stood up and took what he came with, then walked out the door, closing it behind him.
~Morning
Karkat didn't sleep after Sollux left. A couple hours after, he took a shower and decided he'd head to his office early. He walked out the door, closed then locked it. He began walking to his office, noticing that some people got up pretty early. Not surprising, considering all the gogforsaken paperwork that needed to be done. Finally, Karkat got to his office, and walked inside of it, sitting in the chair behind his desk. "Jake, Jane, would you fuckasses come in here for a second?" he called out.
Jake and Jane were from his highschool years, aswell. They may not have talked all too much, but he still considered them friends. "You called?" Jake said as they entered.
"Yeah. I was wondering if you guys have heard anything about Ampora lately?"
Jake put a hand on his head. "Hmmm.. Only that he's been sending around a little petition. Just about everyone in our department has signed. Not all too sure what it is, too be honest."
"It was something having to do with 'rebel extermination'. I overheard from the higher ups." Jane said.
Karkat nodded. "As I thought, and found out."
Jane nodded. "Is everything alright?" Jake asked.
"Not a gogdamned bit. But it's nothing to concern yourselves with, for now."
Jake looked at him and sighed. "If you say so. Will that be all?"
Karkat turned his chair around, his back towards them. "Not Really. If it came down to it, who's side would you be on? The council's, possibly that fuckass Eridan, or mine?"
The duo stood in thought for a little. Karkat sighed. "You don't have to answer. It's fine. Dismissed."
Jake and Jane stared at each other for a second. "You know we're gonna be on your side." Jake said.
"Yeah, we know your goals and we know how you are. Chances are if it came down to it, you'd be doing the morally right thing. There's noone I'd rather be beside than you." Jane said.
"Ditto." Jake agreed.
Karkat gave a wide smile, with the duo not seeing it, of course. "Alright, glad to have your loyalty. That will be all for now."
Jake nodded and they walked out.
Karkat stared out the window behind him, looking all around. Sometimes it made him sick to look at everything. It was so different from his home, and so damned polluted. Sollux came running through the floor. Literally, through the floor. Fucking drywall was everywhere now. "WHAT IN THE GOGGIVEN CHRIST?!" Karkat yelled.
"Got a little... thituation.." he panted, laying in the debris.
Karkat shot up and looked into the hole. It was a couple floors deep. In fact, it might have been from the fucking basement. He saw something fucking big move. "What the hell, Sollux?"
"Too hard too explain right now.. Need to.. Catch breath."
They heard a laugh from the doorway. "I see you've met 'Julie'." Eridan said.
"Julie?!" Karkat said, confused.
"Yes. Something we've been... 'creating'."
"For what you fucktard?!"
Another laugh. "You'll find out soon enough. It was unlucky you had a task that involved going down there, Sollux." he said, giving a wide grin.
"Fuck.. you.." Sollux replied.
Eridan snickered and left. "He's such a fucking prick. Who the fuck gave you that assignment anyways?"
"That athhole did.."
Karkat wanted to snap his neck and other limbs. "I've gotta find out what the fuck these jerks are thinking."
"Holding back on the language, eh?.." Sollux said and a small laugh.
"Fuck you." Karkat replied, helping him up.
