Escape the Fire: Act III
The world stopped for twenty seconds as Jack just stood there. Then Karkat and I shouted in the dead silence "ATTACK!" Dave and Aradia tried to stop time but before they could even start Jack teleported behind them both and sliced them in half. He stabbed Ferferi through her chest then spun to the next closest person. Sollux started to blast him with his weird red and blue mage stuff and Feferi and I ran up to attack I passed Dave's body and swung into empty air as he teleported away. Jade pulled out her machine gun and shot off rounds into the green glow, a second green glow started up behind Sollux and the bullets passed through his torso, shaking him violently. Tavros ran forward on his robot legs, which he had just gotten re-attached last night, charging with his lance. Jack easily sidestepped and slashed off his lance arm with his glowing black sword. A hurricane swept around me as my anger bubbled up. No. No more shall die today, the fucker is going down now. Then Terezi did the most unexpected thing she ran up behind his back and flung herself at him piggy-back riding the most deadly monster in the universe. She bonked him over and over with her strange red and white cane shouting "L3MON L1M3 FUCK3R, YOUR TR14L H4S 4RR1V3D 4ND I D3CR33 TH4T YOU'RE GU1LTY! TO TH3 G4LLOWS FOR YOU! H33 H33 H33 VR1SK4 NOW!" Vriska then appeared out of the sky and rolled her dice they bounced along the ground and then stopped. A giant noose appeared and both the girls cackled evilly "4LLLLLLLL TH3 LUCK 1S OURS!" It settled around his neck and a deadly growl escaped and just as it fell to hang him he teleported away and everyone was sucked in too. We were now on the trolls meteor and the dead bodies were placed in chairs around us staring with their dead eyes, a growl escaped from a dark corner of the room. "You people fight valiantly but for a lost cause. I will win this time fools and you cannot stop me. Good bye losers." The light flashed and he was gone and we were stuck surrounded by the scowling faces of the dead. Eridan scrambled up to Feferi's corpse "No. No! Howw could this happen!? NO!" He bent down and kissed her. "Come back to me. Come on!" He kissed her again and I ran over to Tavros "Rose can you help heal the humans? Come on let's get the troll bodies to the recuperacoons." We each helped and when I came back a half an hour later Sollux, who had healed the fastest, was sitting beside Aradia's recuperacoon and Eridan was waiting with a his hand grasping Feferi's in hers. Dave was sitting alone not talking to anyone his face stoic as ever, I noticed Vriska sitting with Tavros talking to him as I saw copper tears fall. Gamzee was hugging him and shoosh papping his face, oh the irony… Karkat was no-where to be found and I started to get worried when no-one knew where he was. Actually I hadn't seen him since we were brought on this fucking meteor. That night still no-one had found him, my new matesprite was missing. I was lonely in my cold, empty bed that night and I cried myself to sleep for the first time in my life.
