A/N: SURPRISE UPDATE! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Sup guys, just to let you all know that I changed the picture for the story into an anime Nicolette that I made. Its really because I feel I did a bad job describing her, so yeah. Dark skin, brown hair, blue eyes, freckles, and three piercings in each ear because she is badass.

Because this chapter is kind of just a filler, it will just mainly be a Cry vs Mad mind war, but meh, I have a habit of making surprises.

Also, there is a really cool animator on Youtube called Netty Scribble, and there is a really obvious reference to her, so see if you can spot it!

Chapter 10 - In which Marzia receives a gift

Pewdiepie's POV

It had been a few days since Krism and Nico had their argument, and everything went south. There's a tension between Krism and Nico, and it's gonna break really soon. I don't think Krism forgives Nico for leaving us in that dildo-bat filled bullshit that we were thrown into. Cry is silent, as always, and he would only occasionally talk to someone, and that would only be me or Minx. Minx isn't doing so well either, everyday she looks more and more tired. She is heading back into that shell that nobody wants to see her in. And Marzia... She's changed... I haven't seen her smile, let alone laugh and it worries me. Nico's bag and its contents lay untouched underneath her bed. Nobody could make sense of the riddle. Check your history. We had replayed the Walking Dead, we were all separated and had to save each other, and we nearly lost Cry because of Nico and Krism's petty arguments.
Right now, we're all sitting in the room that we named 'The Studio', and that's because of its similarity to a studio apartment. Everyday it would get better, some counters, a fridge and a coffee maker occupied the empty space in one corner. The single, steel beds we started with had been replaced with something more comfortable. The bathroom even got a shower and some towels put into it. Everyone got new clothes, dehumanizing orange jumpsuits like we're in jail. We even managed to get a box of Cards Against Humanity, but nobody opened it. And as much as I'm trying to keep everyone happy, they are breaking, and I don't know how to keep everyone from killing each other for another day.

Marzia laid on my chest as I sat on our bed, reading an article about how the police were now officially looking for our body's, on Nico's computer. Minx, Cry and Nico were playing "cheat" and Krism was asleep.

Suddenly, Marzia sat up, "I got it!" Everyone looked at her and Krism even rolled over and stared at us, obviously she hadn't been sleeping. Marzia rolled her eyes at everyone, "The riddle, check your history?" Everyone looked at her. She groaned and picked up the laptop and took it to the table. I got up and followed her. She sat down. "Check. Your. History?" She repeated slowly.

"I. Heard. The. First. Time?" Nico said back. Marzia simply clicked twice and up popped the history section of the internet. She raised her eyebrows expectantly, and it suddenly popped into everyone heads.

"You genius!" I leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Go to... A week ago." She clicked and there it popped, various youtubers including myself, Minx, Cry, Smosh and...

"Who are the Sidemen?" Krism asked. The name rung a vague bell.

"Are you kidding? They are hilarious!" Nico said.

"They're a group of English guys that live in the same house and make youtube videos. Theres... Seven I think." Minx said.

"What and none of them are gay?" Krism said.

"Nope." Nico said. There was silence for a moment.

"So... The only people in your history that aren't here are those guys, Smosh games and... Ken?" I said.

"Yeah..." Nico replied. There was silence once again.

"Hey, if you were homeless then how did you get internet?" Minx asked. Everyone looked around and nodded in agreement, how did she?

"Well, it's simple. I just always stayed near a public wifi, like McDonald's or Starbucks or something like that." She replied, shrugging her shoulders.

"Yeah, but those never work that well." I said to her.

"Well its a good thing that I have a really good laptop then." She said.

"How did you charge it?" Krism asked her, raising an eyebrow.

"What the fuck is this, 20 questions? I have a laptop, I found a way to get internet, I found a way to charge it, now can you all stop?" Nico said. The cards on the table started floating.

"You fucking liar Cry! I knew you had all the fucking 3's!" Minx pointed to Cry's hovering cards.

"Whatever, like you weren't holding back the kings?" He gestured to Minx's cards.

Before they could continue arguing, the speaker turned on. "Players, today we're going to try something a little... Different."

Everyone looked around in confusion, "Like how?" Cry said.

"Well, since there is actually little use in keeping you all alive, rather than give you a series of tasks to complete throughout the day, myself and my colleagues have made the decision to put you all in a game and the main objective would be to not die." He paused, as if waiting some sort of reaction. All he got were some confused glances. "Also, we noticed that you solved the riddle. Well done. We would now like to award our 'Player of the week' award. Miss Bisnogin, when you enter the next game you shall encounter a crate which contains your reward. You may keep it for the rest of your stay here. If you misplace it, it will be returned to you. Now if you all would step through the door, as always, we can get started."

We all obliged, stepping once again through the metal door and down a corridor. But today was different, we had to walk down a long set of stairs that weren't there before. I swear these people must be loaded for them to be able to change the outside and the inside everyday. Everyone was silent, but through her frown I could see that Marzia was beaming about the award she won, but jag svär på gud, if they pull a dick move and hurt her...

Cry POV

As the group walked further down the staircase worry and confusion were evident on our faces. Where the fuck are we going? I could see Felix was deep in thought about something that obviously made him angry. Minx and Krism walked hand in hand, in their own little world. "How simple, considering their world is about to get ripped apart, and they don't even know it." Mad thought.

"Stop it, I... You... We can't do this to them! Krism is my friend!" I thought back.

"Oh really? Friendship doesn't look like the scars on our faces, or on our friends. I wasn't aware friendship meant abandonment!"

"But still! What happened, happened. I am not about to stand by while you kill one of my friends on a crazy vendetta! Not for the others, not for the pain they felt, not even for me!"

"Not even for Cheyanne?" Mad retaliated.

That got me. I knew they had her, and I know they would kill her. I was at war with myself, do I kill Krism and risk the lives of the escaped ESPers, or do I leave her, and let them kill Chey?

"We both know what we want, and why we want it. I know you never fully forgave Krism, so why let a traitor live and an innocent person die? So what if the other ESPers go back to the camp? We will be right there with them, safe. We could even overthrow the people who run it, become leader! With an army, all the world can do is go... Mad and cry!" His mechanical laughter filled my head. "And I will do it whether you oblige or not. We are one Cry, and you and I both know how easy it is for me to slip into control." He left, just like he always does after a speech. He was right, what was I thinking? Krism is a traitor, and it is her fault I am like this. It is her fault I am known as 'The Man in The Mask', and she should be punished. Not killed, but punished.

Nicojust lagged behind us, her head down and she was playing with her own hands. I stopped so she was next to me. I need a distraction from Mad, but I felt something shoot into my neck, probably a bug. I suddenly felt woozy. "You know, Nicolette, you are the most dangerous, most cutest kid I have ever met?"

"Oh shit, did I really just say that?"

"Excuse me?" She said, looking up at me, her blue eyes piercing through me.

"I said you're the cutest, most dangerous kid I have ever seen." I repeated.

"What the fuck?"

Krism tried to hide a laugh but it escaped. Nico's anger increased tenfold, "I am really not in the mood for this Cry."

We reached a door and we all waited. I leaned against a wall and laughed, "I'm being serious. Look at you, no teenager can pull off freckles." I pinched her cheek. I heard her growl.

"What the fuck is happening!"

"Uh Cry, I wouldn't..." Minx wavered.

"I'm trying not to!"

"Yeah, we've seen her confused, I don't want to see her angry." Marzia added.

"Neither do I Marzia! I saw her angry before telekinesis!"

"Why, because she can make a stack of cards float? Please, I'd die of the cuteness first." I said, laughing.

"What the hell am I doing? Why can't I stop!"

"Hey, dude, stop now." Krism said.

"I CAN'T! MAD WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!"

"I swear this isn't my doing, my target is Krism, not the girl!" Mad shouted in my head as whatever infected me overtook me.

Nico POV

The door swung open and we stepped through, and it was beautiful. Rather than the whole "evacuated town" look, this time the city had thick, green plants growing wildly. Vines covered buildings like a rash, and grass grew out of the cracked roads and pavement. What looked like long forgotten cars were rusted into the street. Plants and trees over grew, leaving the whole of the area looking like something out of 'The Last of Us'.
There was something wrong with Cry, he doesn't ever start picking on people for no reason, and he always stops when people tell him to. Or maybe... Like Krism, he is just tired of me...

"Oh come on, lighten up! You know you wanna say something to that chubby little face as well!" He said to Krism.

"Just fucking stop it Cry!" I said, downheartedly.

The speaker switched on, "Like we said earlier, just stay alive." After some static, it switched off.

"Aw, what's wrong? You can't handle a couple of compliments? You always were a little fruity in the loops when it came to the emotional reaction department." He mocked.

I heard a snap, and I turned to him, "So you confirm I'm unstable?"

"Oh wow really? Well, a little, yeah. Ok maybe a lot, but hey, there's nothing wrong with that, it just makes you that little bit weirder." He said.

"You asshole! Why have all of my friends turned into complete and utter dicks? Or is it me?" I said desperately. "First Minx, then you. At least Minx was a little fucking subtle about it."

"Oh say dicks again, your accent makes it sound funny." He laughed.

"If you want to start mocking her accent then say something to me!" Minx called to him.

"Oh come on, she knows I'm playing."

"No, I don't Cry. I don't think any of you are. If more than one person has said it then I'll say it. I am fucking unstable. I was gonna say insane but that's what I would describe you as." I grinned stupidly at my attempt at a comeback.

"Oh really? I'm insane? I would show you insane, but you would probably get angry, do nothing and go hide in a corner." He retorted.

"Shut up Cry..." Pewds warned him.

"No, it just proves my point, she is too unstable to even handle straight up facts about herself. Look, she just stands there!"

I had the all to familiar snap and blue tinted my vision. I ran and pounced on him, and raised my fist to punch him when I noticed it. On his neck, he has a tennis ball sized lump, the veins that covered it were black, and were spreading through his skin fast. "Guys!" I shouted. I took off his mask, his eyes were glazed over and he was sweating. The black veins consumed his face.

"What the fuck is wrong with him?" Minx shouted. His eyes suddenly snapped, pure white, not even pupils. His mouth opened and his teeth had all sharpened. He let out an inhuman hiss.

"Cry?" I said. His eyes met mine and he jerked forward, throwing me off of him. He crouched on all fours and hissed at everyone. "Dude! What the fuck did you do to him!" I screamed at the sky.

"It appears that one of our experimental bugs escaped and stung him." The speaker said frantically, while Cry looked around. His head locked at Krism. "Everyone, there is a door a couple of streets over, get to it!"

"You fucking heard him, run!" Pewds shouted. We did, but Cry stopped, the ran at us with terrifying speed.

"Marzia! The crate!" I pointed out a bright pink wooden box to our left. Krism was firing lightning at him but he wasn't reacting to it. Pewds body slammed the crate and Marzia picked up whatever was inside it.

"Is this a chainsaw?" She asked. It was, the base was a cupcake and the actual blades were shaped like hearts.

"Now that is the cutest, most dangerous thing I've ever seen." I said.

Cry lunged for Minx, but something kicked him out the way. Something big. And that something big morphed back into a girl, with dark hair and a familiar voice. "What happened to him?"

"Mari? Like from Smosh?" Pewds said.

"Hey dude." She said coolly. "We need to move, he isn't going to stay out for that long."

"Jesus christ is there anyone else?" He said.

"Well actually... You're about to step on me. Wait is that Pewdiepie?" A male voice said. Pewds moved away, to reveal a boy who wasn't standing there before.

"Oh lord..." I said.

"Hey guys Vikkstar123 here and we need to run before he wakes up!"

A/N: *Hides from riot* Can you blame me? Like really? A secret virus infects Cry so Mari from Smosh Games hulks out and kicks him to the next dimension? Really I did it because I needed more people, I needed more convincing ESPers, so why not the most normal looking ones? Obviously Mari can "hulk" but, for a cookie, who can guess Vikkstar (or Vik)'s power?

Happy Holidays and please please please pleeeeease review for me :3
