Eridan: Participate in the rare and hyper-dangerous 6x Showdown Combo
That last line made Eridan quiver in his boots, as he stared at Gamzee along with Karkat, Kanaya, and Terezi. The clown had a wide and unsettling smile on his face, his intentions quite clear to Eridan, and took a step towards the group. Eridan tore his eyes off the Bard to find someone in their group, anyone, who could do something, as Eridan still found himself without a weapon.
His gaze first fell on Karkat, whom had taken the front line against Gamzee, his sickle in hand. His scowl seemed concerned rather than angry, though it obviously had no effect on the all too crazy clown. Despite this, he seemed ready to pounce upon Gamzee, eager to incapacitate him, one way or another.
Then he turned to Kanaya, the Jade-blooded Sylph seemingly more ready to fight than the Knight in front of them. She reached into the pocket of her skirt, now stained from her brightly coloured green blood that dripped from her wound, and pulled out her lipstick. She had unfortunately been unable to change her clothes before coming back to the roof, but she had none-the-less decided to tough it out. With a twist of the top of the stick, the thing transformed into her signature chainsaw, and she stood her ground ready to back up the Knight.
His attention was then drawn to the Seer, who had re-sheathed her sword into her cane. The weapon remained coated in a thick layer of blue blood, some of it dripping outside the hilt of the cane. Her tears had ceased sliding down her face, the remaining Teal stains all dried up and her puffy cheeks had deflated, while her glasses slid half-way down her nose. Eridan could tell she had no intent on killing him, though was confused as to why; he thought she'd be getting off on all that justice stuff, an eye for eye if anything. But instead, she seemed reluctant to fight.
Then finally there was Sollux, who had moved behind the group with all the attention shifted to Gamzee in front of them. The Mage held his head in his hands, his mouth gaping open, with his attention directed to the small puppet Terezi had brought up with her. Eridan guessed he maybe thought it was Gamzee or something, but chalked it up to just Sollux being bipolar, as usual.
And then he drew his attention to Gamzee. Eridan pulled away slightly, but stood rooted into his position. He forced a brave and defiant frown onto his face that could've tricked anyone into thinking he could take on Gamzee, but inside, he felt like just breaking down and crying for help. He found himself devoid of the hope of winning. If a fall off the building couldn't kill the clown, then what could?
Apparently, his disguise was almost too effective, as Karkat had ditched his original position and walked back towards Eridan. Eridan had raised his fists, but Karkat pushed them back down. He then wrapped his arm around Eridan, and placed a finger over Eridan's lips as he attempted to speak up. The action caused Eridan to blush a deep Violet, before Karkat let go of the Prince. He then walked off, comforting each member of their team with various paps and shooshes, and decided to confront Gamzee himself.
The Knight ran took a couple of calm steps towards the Bard, then broke into a light sprint. His wrath came to an immediate stop as the significantly shorter Karkat, coming in at 5 foot 6, gently grabbed onto the 6 foot 5 Gamzee's face, and began to pap it. Gamzee let out a blood-curdling scream, but Karkat continued his mission, adding a small shooshing sound to calm him. Against all odds the clown actually began to calm down, his loud cries and honks turning into worn out groans, before picking up once more, and finally settling down, causing Gamzee to completely stop screaming. After Gamzee had finished, Karkat pulled him into a deep hug, the both of them with small smiles on their faces.
Eridan narrowed his eyes, and heaved an audible sigh. He couldn't help feeling disappointed at the actions taken by the Knight, but decided to feel grateful that the clown had ceased his murderous rampage.
Karkat pulled away from Gamzee, and held one arm around his Pale bro while he addressed the team, "ALRIGHT, THAT WENT BETTER THAN EXPECTED." Eridan found it strange to see Karkat genuinely smiling, as he'd only seen such smiles when the two used to gossip about their friends. "SO, I GUESS WE OUGHT TO FLY TO WHEREVER THE FUCK THE GREEN SUN IS. SO ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE WE'D FIND A GREEN SUN IN THE MIDLLE OF BULGE-FUCK NOWHERE?"
As if caused by fate itself, the two trolls that could see who were in front of Karkat looked up behind him at a small green dot far in the distance. Eridan gave a wave, signalling Karkat's attention, and pointed at the dot, allowing Karkat to look at it.
"WHOA, THAT HAS TO BE IT," Karkat exclaimed, as Terezi walked up beside him.
She took a couple of sniffs in the air, and pointed slightly to the right of the dot. "1T H4S TO B3! SOLLUX, C4N YOU G3T US TH3R3?"
"get us where?" Sollux asked, as Karkat gently wrapped his hand around Terezi's wrist and guided her hand over to where the Green Sun actually was. "i'm just kidding, i kn0w where t0 g0."
"HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU? YOU'RE BLIND, REMEMBER?"
"i d0n't kn0w. it's weird, i just get this feeling like i'm already there 0r s0mething, y0u kn0w?"
"Are You Capable Of Getting Us There?" Kanaya asked.
"i can try," Sollux said, unconvincingly.
"THAT'S ALL WE NEED."
"0k," Sollux sighed, placing two fingers on his forehead. He breathed in deeply, and at first, groaned, but eventually it turned into a scream. The meteor slowly inched forward, before being thrust forward at incredible speeds, causing the trolls all to lose their balance, a couple falling while others just stumbled. Eridan gained his footing, and looked up at the ever-closing sun, eager to finally meet the humans that he despised so.
