"A Machine for Pigs:
To-do list:
-Find Pewdie
-Get bros to attack
-Demolish Jennifer
-'Run' from bros
-Fake death
-Turn Jennifer into human
-Brainwash Jennifer
-Find and claim Pewdie
*Also, make sure barrels don't turn into humans until we have Pewdie trapped. We wouldn't want him to spoil our little surprise.*
-Piggeh" Stephano read the note aloud so that everyone could hear. Pewdie couldn't believe his ears. He knew that was Piggeh's handwriting, and his signature because of the many, many times he wrote "I'm a snake! -Piggeh" on the walls he slithered on when he still had the body of a pig.
"So... Jennifer is brainwashed?" Cry asked the obvious, yet concealed question. That one that was most important right now. Everyone looked towards Jennifer suspiciously. "Does that mean we have to kill her, or what?" He asked, eyes narrowing behind his mask. He didn't want anyone to hurt his bro.
"No! I'm not brainwashed! I swear! I mean, if I was brainwashed, which I NOT, but if I was, then why would I bring you this paper? Why would I tell you everything I know? I mean, now that you know, it'll be harder for Piggeh to trap you, right?" Jennifer asked, fearful of anyone taking a step closer to her.
Pewdie was stuck. Jennifer was right in saying that it'd be harder for Piggeh to trap them, but what if this was the trap? What if she really was brainwashed? Pewdie sighed. "No, we're not going to kill Jennifer..." Jennifer sighed, and visibly relaxed at this, "... Yet." Pewdie finished. At that, Jennifer gasped and her eyes filled with fear, Stephano smirked internally, and Cry cracked his neck, sensing the tension.
"B-but... no... No please!" Jennifer sobbed as she fell to the floor, she was terrified. She didn't want to die. Not after she'd just gotten this body. "I'll do anything! I swear on my life I'm NOT brainwashed! What will it take t-to prove that?!" Jennifer started screaming, as she begged and pleaded.
"Jennifer! Jenny, stop!" Pewdie said firmly. He knelt down and grabbed her wrists. He then proceeded to remove her hands from her face and say, "I didn't mean it like that. Until we have solid proof that you're actually just a mindless minion, there will be no harm that will come your way. I promise."
Jennifer sniffled a few times, and then nodded in understanding. She got up, helped Pewdie up, and hugged him. "Thank you so much, Pewdie. I'm glad you trust me so much... but you should really learn who to trust." She said, as she slipped a small syringe from her sleeve, and injected a clear liquid into Pewdie's neck.
As Pewdie fell to the ground, Stephano charged towards Jennifer, sword drawn, and a murderous look on his face. Jennifer just stood there, smirking, though, as Stephano raised his sword just as he was him on the back of his head by a man in brown slacks, and a brown and black striped t-shirt. It was a barrel. Another barrel came up beside him, this one matching the other; all except for this one was a woman. They looked to be twins.
They turned to Cry simultaneously, and Cry stood there for about three seconds, processing what just happened. "Um... bye." Cry said and started to dart down the hallway. He was racing towards a red and brown door that would take him to a whole new area.
The barrel twins were about to follow him, but Jennifer stopped them. "Let him go. Besides, he'll be a nice fishing lure for Mr. Chair." She smirked evilly, as did the barrel twins. "Come on, Barry, Carry, we need to get back to Piggeh. Get these two buffoons." She said, as she turned around and walked towards where she'd come from.
The barrel twins, who already picked up the two main protagonists, followed her, their smirks eerily similar.
Cry kept running, even after he got past the red door. Only when he'd run so far that he felt like he was about to collapse did he stop and catch his breath. He looked around, and saw that he had no idea where he was. This part of the castle looked extravagant. There were fine decorations everywhere, and the doors looked beautiful. "Where the fuck am I?" He asked himself.
All of a sudden, there was a door closing sound up ahead. Cry hesitated for only a few minutes before walking towards the noise. He carefully opened the door. As he peered in, he saw a cradle, a bed, a dresser, and a wardrobe. He took two steps in, and was knocked out.
Mr. Chair had officially become worried. Pewdie was late. And it's not like Pewdie had never been late before, but he was more than a day late. Mr. Chair had been pacing around the room, paranoid and worried about what could have possibly happened for Pewdie to be this late. All of a sudden, a small, petite arm stopped his pacing.
"Darling, I know how worried you are, but you need to get some rest. It wouldn't help anything if Pewdie showed up just for you to collapse in exhaustion." Mayo said. She was really worried about her love. He had stopped sleeping and eating ever since they'd heard a distant scream. It sounded like a squeal, which had Mr. Chair even more worried.
Mr. Chair looked towards the open door. He remembered how grateful he was to have found this part of the castle. This was supposed to be the main families' quarters, and because of that, those monsters Pewdie oh so fondly nicknamed 'bros' couldn't get in here. Neither could barrels for that matter. He sighed and said, "Okay, love. I'll try to get some rest." He smiled a small, slightly reassuring smile towards his beautiful other half.
Mayo leaned towards Mr. Chair, as he leaned towards her. They met for a kiss, which led to a small make-out session. After they broke apart and were staring lovingly into each other's eyes, they heard a voice from around the corner. Mr. Chair's eyes grew wide as he looked alarmed at the door. That wasn't Pewdie's voice.
The former seat moved towards the door and closed it. He dragged his wife into the wardrobe with him. Then, the door opened. They weren't able to see who it was, though because he stood in the doorway. All of a sudden a masked man stepped into the room. Mayo, feeling the need to protect her family, retrieved a potted plant from the door and smashed it into the back of the masked stranger's head.
"Nice one" Mr. Chair said, still a bit shaken up at the stranger's arrival.
"No problem" Mayo said, smirking.
Pewdie awoke in a dark room. "Urghnm... what the hell? Where the fuck am- ah! God... ow." He said as he tried to lift his head and knocked it into the bottom of the bed above him. He was in a bunk bed. He got out of the bunk bed and searched around for a source of light. He eventually came across a lantern, some laudanananananananananum, a few sanity potions, and, finally, a lump. He wasn't sure what the lump was, but he kicked it. It started to move a bit, and groaned.
A man with a pale complexion and skin that was so tight around his head that you could see it turned around. He looked at Pewdie for a few seconds before cocking his head and asking "Pewdie? Is... is that really you? I haven't seen you in so long, I wouldn't know." The man was wearing a pale white long sleeve shirt that clung to his body tightly, making him seem even skinnier than he already was. He had on white skinny jeans, and wore a pair of white and black flip flops.
Pewdie backed away, not knowing how the man knew him. He looked into the man's face and, after a couple of seconds, realized just who he was. "Skully? Wow, man… you look like shit! What happened to you?" Pewdie asked, concerned for his friend's wellbeing.
"Wow… thanks… I haven't seen you in two months and the first thing you tell me is that I look like shit? Well, at least now I know you're definitely Pewdie, you ass." Skully said, as he stood up, and glared slightly at Pewdie. Skully searched around where he was laying and said "Here, this may help you" as he handed Pewdie 3 large oil potions for his empty lantern.
Skully told Pewdie about everything that had been going on lately. He said that this all happened two days and one night ago aka the same exact time Pewdie went to bed and found himself in here. He said that he'd heard that this had happened to others.
"Everyone is now like you, Pewdie. And I mean everyone. Even the red slime is now a woman. The bros also changed. I haven't seen them myself, but I've heard of them. We need to leave, Pewdie. Where's Piggeh? I heard them mention his name." Skully looked expectantly towards Pewdie.
"Skully… there's no easy way to say this, but… Piggeh's no longer a bro." Pewdie said. He started to feel tears sting his eyes as he thought of a guy he'd once actually ditched Stephano for betraying him. "And neither is Jennifer. I don't know whether she hates me, or whether she's always been evil…" Pewdie finished, wiping his tears away, trying not to act like suck a big baby.
Skully looked down "I… I can't believe it. Piggeh? I mean, yeah, Jennifer I'd always had my doubts about, but Piggeh? Oh my god… Well… I also have something to tell you. But before I do, we need to get out of here asap." Skully finished, and Pewdie nodded.
They waited until everything was silent outside, then Skully picked the lock on the door with a hairpin he'd found on the ground. They slowly pushed open the door, and, seeing that the coast was clear, darted out of there. They finally got out of the prison-like dungeon, and were back in the castle.
"Wait. What about Stephano?" Pewdie asked, "We can't just leave him behind. I need Stephano, I can't continue without him. We need to go back. Or at least I do." Pewdie was about to go nowhere without his golden companion. All of a sudden, the door they'd just come out of open and closed as Stephano himself stepped out. He turned to Pewdie. "STEPHANO!"
"Ellos, Pewdie. I've been looking everywhere for you." Stephano said, as he smiled at Pewdie, then pulled him in for a warm hug. "Are you okay? Were you hurt? Did they hurt you again?" Stephano immediately went into mother mode, remembering how Pewdie was shivering and bleeding the last time he got hurt.
"I'm fine, Stephano. What abou-" Pewdie noticed Stephano had a slight grimace when he tried to straighten up. He went behind Stephano and saw a huge gash that was pouring out blood. He was surprised he hadn't seen it before. "Stephano! You're bleeding… a lot!"
"No shit, Sherlock. Geez, Captain Obvious, thanks for the heads up. What's your next big discovery? That water's wet?" Stephano joked a bit to try and relieve Pewdie's concern, but it didn't work. Pewdie started to rant about how this wasn't the time for jokes, and made him drink all of the laudanauauauauauauauauauauaum he had. And glared when Stephano even tried to get him to reconsider the amount.
"No way, Stephano. You're my bro, and I won't let you be in any less than the perfect condition." Pewdie said with a pout on his face. He didn't like it when Stephano got like this, and wouldn't listen to anything he said. He was trying to glare at Stephano, too, but like all the times before, he was never able to. His eyes eventually softened, but he forgot to lift his pout, so he looked like he was begging more than being mad. Stephano started chuckling at this fact, to which Pewdie gave him a strange look.
"You look- haha- so cute!" Stephano said between chuckles and gasps of air. He got this weird feeling in the pit of his stomach. Skully had said something earlier about going to check for any danger ahead. Stephano hadn't realized at the time, but he saw he was now much, much closer to Pewdie. Their noses were almost touching. Stephano's eyes started to glaze over a bit as they darted from meeting Pewdie's eyes to his lips which were falling out of their smile.
Stephano couldn't help but stare at Pewdie. He had a blush covering his cheeks, his eyes a bit glazed over, too, and his mouth slightly ajar. They were so close that they were literally breathing into each others mouths. "Stephano" Pewdie whispered as said statue closed the distance between him and the gamer, and kissed his lips. Pewdie started kissing back, as Stephano's hands went from his own hips to Pewdie's.
Stephano's hands started to dip under Pewdie's shirt and his fingers started to claw their way up his back. He pushed Pewdie towards a wall, and deepened the kiss. Just then there was a scream, and a growl. The two protagonists broke away from each other as they heard flesh tearing and agonized screams, that gave way to gurgling moans, and finally they victim died.
Pewdie knew that scream as Skully's and as he and Stephano raced around the corner, they found Skully on the floor, limbs ripped from his torso and spread around the room, and his head stuck on a pike. Pewdie gasps and screamed, alerting the bro that was still in the room to their presence, and Stephano had to drag him out of the way to make sure he didn't get hurt. "Run, Pewdie!" Stephano shouted as he dragged the blonde Swede along with him out the main entrance of the dungeon.
They kept running until they got back to around the place where Pewdie first showed up in the game, and went into a room. Stephano got Pewdie to sit down as he barricaded the door. He then sat beside the still crying man, and tried to comfort him. "It's NOT okay, Stephano! Skully's dead because we weren't paying attention. It's all my fault! He's dead and it might as well have been me who chopped him up like that."
Stephano strode over to the hysterical man and grabbed him by his shoulders. "Don't you dare say that, EVER. You are not one of those monsters. You never will be. I'll never let you fall that far." Stephano shook him by his shoulders a bit as he was explaining, to get his attention and his agreement. Stephano got closer to Pewdie. "I… I love you too much to let you fall that far." Pewdie looked up at him. They both started to move closer and started picking up where they left off.
Stephano pushed Pewdie on the bed and took his own and the blonde's shirts off, wanting skin contact. Their kiss started getting more and more heated, as Stephano crawled on top of Pewdie on the bed. Pewdie was moaning, and in the moans they didn't hear something lurking outside the door.
All of a sudden the door started to break down, and the wardrobe and drawers in front of it were also broken swiftly. Pewdie was whimpering by the time the bro got into the room. Both he and Stephano were under the bed, in hiding. Stephano tried to calm him down, but it was no use, as the bro found them. They tried to dodge him a few times, but then he slashed out in a slash that would have killed Stephano. "No!" Pewdie shouted as he jumped in front of Stephano.
Pewdie was slashed in the back. A wide gash that was hemorrhaging, as the smoke started to clear from the poofer that had made his mark before he left. "Pewdie, hang in there. You'll be alright We… we just need to find some morphine, or some laudananananananananananananananum! We're so close to where we were when we started there's some of both there, you just have to stay awake." Pewdie was nodding along at every word. He knew the chances of him making it were slim to none, but he didn't want to prematurely let down Stephano. He tried as best as he could to get to the place where they'd started.
They were a few corridors away, when Pewdie passed out. Stephano was shanking him, calling his name, slapping his face, everything he could think of. He even kissed him, but nothing got a response. He then proceeded to lift Pewdie bridal-style, and run. He finally got to where they started, and gave him some morphine and even some laudananananananananananananananum on top of that just to make sure. The cut healed up, but Stephano couldn't see any life in the Swede. He started to do CPR on him, pumping his chest constantly, breathing into his lungs, trying to get some response, even a heartbeat would satisfy him at this point, but the blonde still showed no response.
Stephano looked upon Pewdie, as tears made of liquid gold fell from his eyes and hit the cement ground. He started shaking and sobbing. He saw no hope now. His best friend, his bro, his first and only love was gone.
Pewdie was dead.
