Karkat stood still nervously, minutes felt like hours to him. He looked down at his phone and sighed silently in relief as a message from Sollux was waiting for him.

'2urround the large liiviing room area and bur2t iin, iin two miinute2'

Karkat stuffed his phone in his pockets and crept forward slightly. He stayed still a few seconds after the two minute mark nervous no one else would do anything. He sighed and pulled the door open and burst in. He glanced at Kanaya surprised as she burst in at the same time. Gamzee and Sollux were already there. Feferi came in just afterwards and looked away from her ex moirail Eridan.

Vriska looked up and chuckled "Well hello to you too." she said.

Eridan looked around at them to shocked to say anything.

Sollux was the first to strike, he had to do this now before he could back out and stop. He knew Eridan and Vriska wouldn't stop, they'd kill them all and not think twice about it… He sort of wished he could do that now.. But he knew he wouldn't be himself if he could. He wasn't like them, he wasn't a monster… Just a simple troll who's hand was forced, a simple troll who will spend the rest of his life missing the two friends he would lose today.

Gamzee ran after him his clubs raised up and a dead serious look on his face. It was hard to tell what he was thinking, mostly because he didn't want to think. This felt sickeningly natural for him, he was a young subjuggulator after all. Beat the life out of other trolls is what he was meant to do… Sure he would miss them sometimes but… He didn't truly feel sorry for what he was about to do. They had hurt him, they had hurt Karkat, they had hurt his other friends. They had to pay for this…

Kanaya narrowed her eyes and ran forward her chain saw roaring with life. All of the pain and anger Vriska had caused her boiled to the surface. She had loved Vriska, loved her as a moirail at first and then as more. And what had Vriska done? Tossed her to the side and ignored her like she was nothing… And Eridan? Well he had never shown her much kindness. She had tried to befriend him, to be nice to him when others weren't. And she just got insults in return. She wouldn't miss them, perhaps she would ache for Vriska every so often like she did now but she would not miss them truly…

Karkat moved forward finally having the courage to. Sure he was usually loud and angry and violent like at times. But deep down he could never imagine hurting a friend. And this is what he had to do. To protect himself and the ones he loved. He knew he couldn't live in a world without Gamzee, Sollux, and Kanaya. And Feferi meant to much to Sollux for Karkat to let her get hurt now because of him. They were his closest friends. He saw such a bright future for them all, a bright future for them all together. And so he had to do this, as much as he didn't want to. He wanted everyone to know peace, deep down he had always secretly hoped for what the sufferer had always hoped for. For blood to not matter, for peace to rule…

Feferi was the last to move, she had never felt so guilty before. But she knew as an heiress she should at least stop being such a wriggler. She would miss Eridan so much, not him as he is now, but the Eridan she grew up with. The best friend she lost when he became quadrant and hemospectrum obsessed. This Eridan was not the one she had seen as her moirail. He was just a shell… As for Vriska.. She had never particularly been fond of her. They hadn't talked much and had never been close but she still considered her a friend. And felt guilty for attacking her. Even more guilty in knowing that Vriska would get a sort of sick pleasure out of this… She felt like just as much of a monster as they were… She turned her head and looked at Karkat surprised by him.

Karkat pulled out an eight ball and threw it at Vriska causing her to drop a few dice. He quickly picked them up and shoved them into the opening of Eridan's weapon. He then grabbed the cue ball he had been hiding and slammed it into Eridan's weapon and turned and tackled his friends away as the weapon exploded. He turned and kicked the dice out of Vriska's hands. "Kanaya! Destroy them!" he shouted.

Kanaya looked at him confused but quickly used her chainsaw to reduce the remaining dice to dust.

Vriska and Eridan looked shocked.

That had been Karkat's secret all along. He had figured out the cue ball and the dice could destroy Eridan's legendary weapon, and without the dice Vriska was a pretty bad fighter. All her talk about having all the luck was just made up. She was completely reliant on the dice. Such a simple secret really, he found it strange that no one had figured it out. Not even he had figured it out, truly it had been Doc Scratch who had told him about it.

Karkat let out a soft sigh and leapt at Vriska swinging one of his sickles and slamming it into her non robotic arm. He bit his lip slightly as she let out a scream. He heard the roar of the chainsaw beside him as Kanaya ran over and swung at Vriska. He heard a scream as Gamzee's clubs slammed down on Eridan just as Feferi's trident pierced him. He took a step back as Sollux blasted what was left of their friends and reduced it to dust.

They all stood in silence, how easy it had been to destroy their weaponless friends. How guilty they all felt over something like that, that had to be done. It was truly strange though when they thought about how it was just how their world worked. They had been raised to know this was what was expected. Kill those who get in your way… Although many had killed for lesser reasons… They still felt horrible… Yet relieved.. It was finally over..

"We CaN gO hOmE" Gamzee said softly.

"You and Karkat can build a )(ive toget)(er." Feferi said with a faint smile that sort of pained her. Pained her to know she could feel such relief after this. "We can all be okay now.." she said.

Sollux put an arm around Feferi and looked at them all. "Were all 2afe now." he said.

"I Think We Should Leave Here Now." Kanaya said. " And Destroy This Building Once We Leave." she said. "It Will Only Be Full Of Bad Memories And Getting Rid Of It Will Help." she said.

"I AGREE LETS BURN IT TO THE FUCKING GROUND!" Karkat said as he jumped forward a bit only to be grabbed around the waist gently by Gamzee. He looked up and blushed slightly as he saw Gamzee smiling softly and adoringly at him.

"Well…lets go t)(en…" Feferi said softly. She hugged Sollux's arm and quietly began to lead them all out.

Once they were all outside they gathered firewood and some lighter fluid and a few matches. And then they burned it down. They waited for hours and hour until it was finally completely gone except for the ash. And then they vowed to never return to this place in the forest. And with that they began their trek home.

…..

Sorry for the suuuuper late update I had writers block… There will probably be only one more chapter after this. The chapter where they get home and everyone finds out about Gamzee and Karkat, and the deaths of Vriska and Eridan. Hope you like this chapter! Again sorry for taking so long! :3
