Antisepticeye and Darkiplier were back at it again. Arguing about which one of them was more powerful. But other dark egos kept interrupting, throwing them off completely. They were so distracted that they didn't notice the two newcomers that were watching them with amusement and judgement.
The other egos started losing control of their powers, all but Anti and Dark. They whipped their heads around, trying to find some sort of pattern of who would be next, and who would be last. Was it just that they didn't understand the powers they wielded? Were their hosts fighting back?
Or was it an entirely different being?
"One of yours?" Dark asked nervously. "No." Anti replied. The final egos, SharkYoHo went down with their ship. Everything was deathly quiet. Until Dark Chica showed up. "I'm hungry." she said. "Why didn't you feed your dog?" Anti hissed. "I don't know, I got busy" Dark snapped.
Anti continued to smile and giggle as Dark Chica got closer. Dark kept a calm and determined expression, but straightened his tux nervously. Dark Chica got ready to lunge, but a sudden squeak made her pause. The trio all turned their heads in unison towards the source of the sound, but only darkness was in sight. When it squeaked again, Dark Chica ran in the direction of the sound.
Anti and Dark relaxed. "You really need to take care of your dog" Anti hissed. "I'm more concerned about what lured her away" Dark said, forgetting all about their bickering. They both peered into the void, waiting for Dark Chica or the mysterious source of the squeak to appear. But nothing came.
All of a sudden...
"Hello!" Someone said with a sing-song voice.
Anti and Dark whirled around to see that two new egos were standing behind them. One of them, a girl with cropped platinum-blonde hair with purple headphones, wore black and white striped stockings with buckled black boots, a deep pink skirt that hung just above her knees, and a black, long-sleeved sweater with a belt around her waist. It took them a moment to take in her face. She had white face paint with black on her cheeks, lips, and eyes that highlighted their brilliant violet colour that completed her skull-like look.
And standing next to the skull-faced girl, a female grim reaper. She wore a long black cloak with the hood up that covered her black hair and cast a shadow over her unique eyes. One of them was bright silver, it almost looked like it was glowing, and the other was blood-red. Both pupils were nothing but slits. Her skin was pale white and she had black stripes on her cheeks that looked like she was crying ink that ran down her face and under a black mask that covered her mouth and nose. Everything under her cloak was black, black combat boots, pants, shirt, and belt strapped around her waist that held a variety of different knives.
Anti took out his knife. "Who the hell are you?" he demanded. Skull Face let out a high-pitched yelp at the sight of the knife and hid behind Grim Reaper who rolled her eyes. "The ones who saved your sorry asses" Grim Reaper snapped. Anti and Dark both twitched slightly at the sound of her voice. With a cold, spine-chilling british accent, she whispered in their ear from right next to them. Even though she was standing three yards away from them.
"Can you put the knife down?" Skull Face asked with a heavy irish accent, still hiding behind Grim Reaper. Anti hesitated and looked at Dark for a moment before he put away his knife.
"What do you want?" Dark asked calmly with his head held high. He had about a thousand other questions running through his mind, but he thought it would be more appropriate to ask that first.
Skull Face stepped out from behind her friend and looked at them curiously. She walked towards them. The way she walked, Dark thought, was quite strange. There was a slight pop to her step, and her feet were stepping in a perfect line like she was on a tightrope. Her arms swung in a childlike fashion in sync with the opposite step. She stopped in front of Anti, who set his jaw and narrowed his eyes down at her, (for the top of her head was level with his nose) challenging her to make a move. She cocked her head as she studied him. Then she moved to Dark and did the same thing. She turned to Grim Reaper.
"Are you sure it's them?" Skull Face asked. "I pictured them… prettier" she turned back to them. "No offense" She walked up to Dark and looked him up and down. "You're pretty" she said and giggled. She skipped to Anti and poked him in the nose. "You're cute, though." she said and giggled again.
"That little shit is Puppet" Grim Reaper said nonchalantly, causing 'Puppet' to giggle more. She grabbed her skirt and curtsied like a princess. "And that" she said putting her hand out towards Grim Reaper. "Is Nightmare. And we are here to help"
"With what?" Anti asked suspiciously. Puppet walked back to 'Nightmare' and put her arm around her shoulder. Nightmare's eyes both became red as she brushed off Puppet's arm. "We just saved your lives. And this is how you talk to us? You ungrateful little-"
"Language!" Puppet snapped. Nightmare rolled her eyes again as one of them changed back to silver. Dark didn't know what to make of these two, and the look on Anti's face said that he didn't either. "Look," Dark said to get their attention. "We want answers and you aren't being very civilized and answering our questions as to why you are here"
Nightmare and Puppet looked at each other for a moment before they turned back to them. "You should come with us" Nightmare said, bringing herself to her full height, which was just a bit taller than Puppet.
"And why would we do that?" Dark asked, fixing his tux.
"Because, if you don't, you will be killed"
