Chapter 21
"Ok, that's it. I'm gonna go check what's wrong with these fucking lights. My powers can't be the cause of this, no way." Nobu said angrily and jumped from the tight rope as Offendy teleported out from there.
As she opened the box for the lighting, Nobu was met with a mess of wires and switches everywhere. She noticed that some were not connected to anything and thought she might as well try to fix it. But because Offendy messed with it beforehand, as she tried to reconnect stuff it made a spark and all the lights went out.
"Nobuki!" Zalgo yelled angrily as he ran up to her demanding answers.
"Uh…I can explain. It was fucked up already. I just . . . gave it the finishing blow." Nobu tried to explain that it wasn't her fault.
"To the principal's office! Now!" Zalgo yelled grabbing her arm and dragging her along.
On the way, they ran into Offendy. He tried to run away but Zalgo caught him and dragged him by the tendrils as he whined and swore innocence.
"Ah, Zalgo. Thanks for bringing these troublemakers to me." Mr Creeps said as they walked through the door and Zalgo pushed Nobu and Offendy in front of their principal.
"We can explain-" Nobu tried to say as Mr Creeps interrupted her.
"I know what went on today. And why it started." He said amused as panic was written all over the two troublemaker's faces.
"We're sorry." the two said at the same time. "We didn't mean it to go this far."
"I know. You're young and competitive." Mr Creeps said indicating to Nobu as she smiled awkwardly. "But you're just simply an idiot Offender. You have no excuse."
"With their little pranks, they have destroyed several of chairs, a glass coffee table, coffee beans, a science lab, and the whole electrical lighting of the school." Zalgo said angrily as Mr Creepypasta crossed his arms and leaned on the edge of his desk.
"I took care of the damage, and the lighting will be back in a few minutes." Mr Creeps said standing up straight and walking around his desk to sit down.
"How did you fix the lights if you were here?" Nobu asked confused.
"You see, this school is my domain. I control it. I have full power over the school grounds. I only have to send a thought and it will fix itself, like nothing ever happened." He explained as Nobu just stood there amazed.
"But onto more pressing matters now. Your punishment. Offender, you will help the Rake keep the school grounds clean and tidy for the next week. You're dismissed." He said as Offendy whined about the crappy job.
As Offendy left, Seedeater entered the room and Zalgo was dismissed as well.
"Thank you for coming here Seedeater. Nobu, I have a special job I need you to do for me as your punishment." He started as Nobu gave him a nod to carry on. "You see, we're expecting a new student in the Seedeater House and I want you to go get her." Mr Creeps said as he handed some files to Nobu on the girl she needs to retreat from the Human Realm.
"She has only recently turned into one of us, so she will be a bit jumpy and confused. Everything about her is in that file, including her current whereabouts." Seedeater explained pointing at said documents.
"Ok, this shouldn't be too hard." Nobu said as she looked at the picture of the girl.
"Read through that, and I will come to get you in the morning so you can leave to get her." Mr Creeps said happily.
"Ok, I'll go with my bike then, it'll be quicker that way." Nobu smiled as she closed the file and left the office.
By then, her class was over and people headed home, so she grabbed her bike and rode back to Slender Mansion.
"Welcome back Nobuki. I was informed of your punishment. Please don't kill anyone on your way there and back." Slender greeted her and explained before she even got the chance to speak.
"Ye ok, I won't. Or I'll try not to." She smirked and headed up to her room.
Slendy just let out a sigh and went back to preparing dinner.
'So she was killed by her father?' Nobu thought as she sat by her desk looking over the girl's file. 'He was a scientist, but lost his job for experimenting on humans. She was drowned in a bath of toxic chemicals, huh?'
"Now I see why I was asked to get her. I am immune to poison and any toxic stuff." Nobu thought out loud.
"Nobu!" Ben shouted running into the room.
"Ever heard of knocking, pipsqueak?" Nobu asked annoyed.
"Did you get a very bad punishment? Do you have to clean the school's toilets for a week?" Ben asked excitedly as Nobu just gave him a disgusted look.
"No Ben, Offendy got that punishment." She said trying not to laugh. "I just have to go get this new pasta from the Human Realm." She said smirking.
"You got lucky. But don't think that you will get away so easily every time. It's just cause you're new." He said as he sat down on her bed. "What's the newbie's name?" he asked curiously.
"Toxic Dream. I don't know her real name though." She said closing the girl's file.
"Good luck with making her follow you." He said chuckling.
"What do you mean?" Nobu asked with a frown.
"Newbies are hard to control, they are usually confused and hostile towards everyone." Ben said with a shrug.
"I'll be fine. Nothing I can't deal with." She smirked.
"Guys, dinner's ready!" LJ shouted from downstairs.
"Food!" Both Ben and Nobu shouted and ran downstairs.
. . .
"Nobu wake up dear." Mr Creeps said softly shaking her awake.
"Wha? Iss too ealy dad." Nobu mumbled sleepily.
"Sorry, I'm not your father. But you got to get up and bring Toxic Dream here." He said amused as Nobu sat up.
"What time is it?" she asked rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"4:30." He smirked.
"What?! Are you mad? I aint getting up this early!" she shouted and hid under her covers.
With a sigh, Mr Creeps grabbed her covers and ripped them off her, and pulled her off the bed.
"Oww. Ok, ok. I get it." She grumbled but got ready none the less.
After getting the details of her whereabouts, Nobu got on her bike and took off to get her.
. . .
"Come out, come out, wherever you are." Nobu sang as she walked through the misty derelict town, with no one around and the girl hiding. "Come on, I don't bite . . . much."
As Nobu arrived at the abandoned town, she left her bike by the entrance and ventured in to look for the new born pasta.
'This is ridiculous. Why is she even hiding from me?' Nobu thought as she turned down a street.
"My name's Nobu. I'm here to take you home, to where you belong." Nobu called out into the mist, but the only reply was her own echo.
"I don't belong anywhere." Came a raspy voice that sounded like it was coming from behind a gas mask.
"You're Creepypasta now, and I came to bring you home to the Under Realm, where there are many just like you." Nobu explained.
"How can I trust you?" Toxic Dream asked.
"Well, you can't. But I'm not here to kill you." Nobu called back. "Stop hiding and show yourself." She growled annoyed.
"Fine, but I don't trust you." She said as she stepped out from behind a building from in front of Nobu.
"I'm not asking you to." Nobu smirked.
Toxic Dream: she has black skin that fades to light blue on her lower arm and hands, light blue long dreadlocks that are tied up in a high ponytail, she had a light blue tattoo under her collarbones of a toxic sign. She has black goggles with light blue lenses covering her eyes, black gas mask on her mouth so her whole face is hidden. She is wearing orange jeans with light blue boots and belt, an orange strapless top that ends under her breasts with a blue zip and blue belt under her breasts.
"Where is it that you want to take me?" she asked sceptically.
'So it really is her gas mask that is distorting her voice.' Nobu thought as she stood there relaxed.
"The Under Realm. It's where most Creepypasta's live. It's a safe place, no human can enter there. We get taught everything we need to know about the Human Realm and its inhabitants." Nobu explained.
"Is that so?" she asked sceptically as Nobu just gave her a nod. "Why should I believe you? For all I know you just wanna lead me into a trap."
"I'm not a human. And I'm not the kind to use some cheap trick like that. If I wanted to kill you, I would have already done so." Nobu said smirking.
"What if I refuse?" she said getting into a fighting stance.
"Well then I just have to persuade you, don't I?" Nobu's smirk widened.
"You can try. You must know about my powers as you were sent to get me." Toxic Dream said as she cut the skin on her knuckles and orange blood dripped out, she solidified the blood, making 3 six inch spikes on each hand.
"I've been told about your powers. And that's a cool little trick by the way." Nobu said amazed at the claws.
"Why are you so relaxed? I can kill you in an instant. As you saw, these claws are made of my blood, and they are very poisonous. If it touches even your skin, you will die in 3 minutes." Toxic explained showing a better view of the claws to Nobu.
"Is that so?" Nobu asked still smirking. "I just have to avoid contact with them, then."
"Don't be so cocky." Toxic growled and charged at Nobu.
Being caught off guard by Toxic's speed, Nobu only barely managed to dodge her attack and jump to the side,
"You wanna fight huh? Tell you what? If I defeat you, you will follow me without another word, but if not, you can kill me." Nobu said summoning her black mist and morphing twin knifes in her hands.
"I accept. It's your funeral." Toxic said and started charging at Nobu again.
This time, instead of dodging it, Nobu blocked her claws with her knifes and pushed her back, kicking her in the stomach for good measure.
Toxic jumped back up and into the air as she just floated there, until she went for Nobu's head. She dodged and broke Toxic's claws with her knifes.
'So she can fly huh? That's so cool.' Nobu thought happily.
"You're better than I expected. But no one survives me." She growled as she launched into another attack. This time using a toxic smoke that came out of her palm.
Nobu blocked the attack with her black smoke and roundhouse kicked her in the head, sending her into a building.
"How are you still standing? My toxic smoke kills in 30 seconds!" she shouted in disbelief as she climbed out of the rubble.
"I'm immune to poison." Nobu said with a shrug and bored expression. "But this has gone on for long enough."
"Even if you are immune, I will still kill you." Toxic growled and used her blood to morph an orange poison sword.
Nobu summoned her own sword and they started to slash at each other.
