Gently humming, I walked towards the Dark Cloud ToD room, walking in as the door had been kicked in last time. As I walked in, I saw all the cohosts gathered around a table, however many of them seemed, grayed out. Their bodies had turn solid gray, and their faces were frozen. Some of the few cohosts who weren't affected were Chiio, Lance, JJ, Fox and Alfred.
"What's going on?" Fox said, waving his hands in front of a grayed out Jack. "Why are they..?"
"Frozen?" I said, putting my hands in my pockets. "They're being...archived, so to say."
"Archived?" Chiio asked. "Why?"
"Well, I already said this a few times last chapter...But, this chapter is the FINAL one for THIS ToD."
"Oh...so, there's not going to be anymore dares or truths after this chapter?" I facepalmed, growling a bit.
"Seriously? I even capitalized the THIS word literally 2 sentences ago." I sighed, shaking my head. "There will be more dares and truths, and chapters, just not in THIS ToD. I'm going to be making a new one, so this old one will be archived and completed."
"...So, wait...why aren't we being archived like the rest?" Lance asked, gesturing to the grayed out cohosts.
"Because you are all going to the new ToD. At least, if you want to." I looked at the grayed out cohosts. "Most of these guys' owners have been missing for a long while..."
"But...our owners are missing too, right?"
"Yep, but you two are exceptions for a number of reasons." I walked around the room, sighing as I picked up the last few reviews. "We only have about 4 people giving truths this time around, so, yeah.."
"Why did you ask for only truths?" Fox asked, nibbling on a cookie.
"Meh, felt easier to write into the last chapter. Plus, wouldn't want the ToD to end on some random dare, like explode in farts or something. Anyhow, where is the cast?"
"I saw the Osmonds messing with some stuff in the kitchen. I think everyone else is sleeping in their rooms."
"Good, help me wake them up, alright Fox? I'll wake up Max, Monica, Toan and Xiao."
"Alright." He said, walking to Goro's room first. I headed to Toan's room, knocking on the door.
"Toan! Get up!"
"I can't." He replied. I shook my head.
"Why the hell can't you?"
"Come in and see.." I opened the door, seeing Toan in his bed, pinned down with Xiao on his right arm, hugging it tightly.
"Ah...I see your problem..." I looked around the room, finding a bucket of water. "Here's the solution!" I threw the bucket of water at them, closing the door shut. Loud screeches and hisses came from the room, followed by Toan begging Xiao to stop. After about a few seconds of this, the noise stopped, and I stepped away from the door, Toan slowly opening it, drenched in water with scratches across his face and arms.
"Was that necessary?"
"Probably not, but it's probably going to be the last time I get to torture you, so yeah..." I gave him two towels, him giving one to Xiao and both of them drying themselves off.
"Sorry Master.." She whispered quitely, Toan smiling and ruffing her hair.
"It's alright Xiao.." She purred softly, licking his cheeks.
"Ahem..Can you two please go wait in the middle of the room?"
"Right.." Toan mumbled, holding Xiao's hand and walking to the center. I shook my head, walking to Max's room, his door open a crack.
"Hm?" I gently pushed open the door, Monica hugging Max tightly, crying into his shirt. "huh?"
"I missed you Max..." She whispered, gently kissing his cheek.
"I missed you too Monica.." He said, gently stroking her hair. "Please, don't cry anymore..I'm here now, and I'll be here for a while..."
"Yeah...for a while...and then that heartless bastard will take you away again.."
"Oi. I may be a freaking bastard but that doesn't make me heartless." I said, both of them looking at me, a look of surprise in Monica's eyes, followed by a look of rage. "Leer at me all you want, if I was truly heartless I would've locked you away from Max, and you know it. Anyhow, I didn't come to cause trouble...we have the last truths to do. To the center, both of you." I moved out of the way as both of them left the room, Monica looking back at me, hate still in her eyes.
"Wanderer? Everyone's at the center now." Fox said.
"Thanks Fox..." I turned to face everyone, sighing. "Well, this are the last truths of this entire Truth or Dare story. Let's get them over with...I'll just put them all in a large list...
Anyone/Everyone: Would you kill a friend to be with your lover?
Truth for Osmund, and no cheesy bullshit, how did you go from Toan's time period to Monica's?
Monica, how come you kept missing WST?
Ruby: How bad IS your temper? Xiao: Do you miss being a cat? WanderingSoulofTime: WHY? Toan: If you were sent to any time in the world, what would it be?"
"Hm, not a whole lot to work with today.." I said, scratching me head. "Ah well..Hm..." I scratched my head. "I'm not entirely sure I would kill a friend for a lover...Well, actually I guess it depends on the type of friend. I would easily kill a 'friend' who takes my stuff without permission, insults my family..."
"Yeah, like if I had to kill Goro, then I'd be fine with it." Monica said, earning a glare from Goro. "What? You are a bit of an asshole."
"Anyhow..." I said, interrupting both of them. "Osmond?"
"Which one?" Both Osmonds asked at the same time.
"Uh...Obviously the one from Monica's time?"
"Oh, that's simple." Osmond M said. "I just waited."
"...what?"
"Well, in our timeline, we didn't come to Terra to help with the Genie problem..So, we just stayed on the moon for quite some time...Although, I don't really know how long I've been on the moon for, to be honest. We didn't have a clock, calendar, anything to measure time really. All we had was when we saw the earth and when we didn't."
"So, why did you come to Vennicio?"
"Well, one day the Magistrate's daughter decided to kill anyone who was superior to her in any way. Me, my father, and my brother, Torque, started a sort of...resistance if you will. However, we were discovered by the daughter...She executed my father first, followed by Torque, and most of our resistance members...Quite a few fled to Blue Terra..Anyhow, I was going to be executed as well...but I didn't exactly want to die..So I escaped from my holding cell...But not without some...injuries."
"Your hand..." Max said, looking at Osmond's hand. "Is that how you lost it?"
"Yep. I managed to get onto a ship I was working on, and flew to Blue Terra...However, it's really really hard to drive with one hand...So, I crashed into the ocean. I swam around for what felt like ages, when I found a lot of flashing lights..."
"So, that's how you came to Luna Labs? You crashed a spaceship into the ocean and swam there?" Monica asked.
"Yep. Oh, that reminds me.." He said, digging through his pockets. "I remember I found something inside a chest near the area I crashed. Ah, here it is." He pulled out a genie lamp from his pocket, the word "Ruby" etched across it.
"What...that can't be?"
"Yep, I believe this lamp belongs to the same Ruby in this room."
"But, that's not possible." Toan said, pulling out a Lamp from his pocket. "I still have hers right here."
"Ah, but you forget that me, Monica and Max are from a different timeline. A Timeline where the Dark Genie wasn't sealed, or even existed for that matter."
"My head hurts..." JJ said, rubbing his head. "This time stuff is confusing..." I rolled my eyes, grabbing the lamp from Osmond.
"I think it's safe to say that we don't want to let this Ruby out too...One of her is too much."
"Hey!" She growled, a ball of ice hitting me square on the head.
"Ow..Onto the next truth now then."
"My magic can be enhanced by my emotions." Monica said, a ball of fire surrounding her right hand. "I can make my spells even more powerful by using anger, happiness, or even sorrow. But, I lose focus when I do it. I try to fix that by slowing the spells down, to try to get a bearing of where they're going to hit, but sometimes even that fails"
"Sounds a bit too convenient for me..." I mumbled. "Next truth! Woo."
"I don't have a temper." Ruby said sweetly, a axe in her hands.
"Yes you do." Goro quipped. "You're one of the biggest bitches in this freaking room. You freak out at the smallest thing that goes wrong, you whine more than Xiao, and you try to kill anyone who disagrees with you because you're a egotistical bitch!" Ruby let out a growl, before swinging her axe at Goro, who blocked it with his Battle Axe. "Not today you slut!"
"Enough fighting you two.." I said, separating the both of them. "We just have a few truths left before this chapter ends, is too much for you guys to not fight until then? Anyhow...time for the next truth!"
"Xiao does not miss being a cat too much...Xiao was very small, and many of the monsters near Xiao's home could squish Xiao if she wasn't careful. Xiao is happy being a catperson." She said, snuggling up to Toan.
"Hmm." I hummed, staring at the truth. "Extremely vague question, but i'm assuming it's asking me why I revived the ToD...To be honest, I missed the ToD. I enjoyed working on it, having fun with it, and just being random. I quit it originally because..well, it felt...overwhelming. I mean...I had to work on dares near immediately to get anything done. And sometimes it would back up and up and up, and people would ask about their dares, and I would have to work more and more and more...But this new, ToD, hopefully won't have these issues. At least, not commonly..." I shook my head. "Anyhow, final truth time, Toan take us away."
"Um...Well, I would prefer to stay in my current time. Or at least, Max's time. I'm so used to what I have at the moment, and I wouldn't exactly know what to do in other times..."
"So, that's it everyone...The last truth has been answered..and now, we go to a new story. A new chapter with a lot of new things I always wanted to do. A new-"
"Get on with it already!" Goro shouted.
"Quiet you. Fine. Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter, sorry it's not that great. Anyhow, leave a review if you want! Also, we're looking for more cohosts so feel free to apply! See you all next time!"
hope you all enjoyed this ToD. This time, it's officially over. But a new one will arise soon, I promise!
