"Um, you guys, she isn't looking so good..." Chunky told the others worriedly as Francis laid Neon down on a small table in a hollowed out tree. Neon was starting to grow pale from blood loss as she groaned from the pain at her side. Francis watched over his sister worriedly as she clenched her side, and her paw began to stain red.
"Where's Flaky?" Petunia asked as she looked around for the timid porcupine. Then they saw her over in the corner of the small room, cautiously watching Neon growing paler by the second, and too scared to do anything about it.
"Please! You have to do something!" Francis cried out to her as he held Neon's hand tightly. but the porcupine still didn't move.
"I...I can't..." she cried back, shaking her head, tears starting to fall from her eyes.
"Please!" he shouted back to her, she could tell he was on the verge of tears as Neon's grip started to loosen. Flaky looked over at the bleeding fox and slowly began to walk over to her side. She looked at the wound and almost fainted. It was a deep cut, blood was flowing steadily through it and she noticed there was still some sort of tooth lodged deep in her body. Flaky carefully grabbed the edge of the tooth and began to pull it out, Neon screamed in pain as the tooth slid out of her skin and dropped to the ground. Flaky was surprised at how easily it had come out, but then noticed the blood begin to flow faster.
"We need something to bandage it quick!" she screamed and the others looked around carefully for something to use. Petunia then remembered her pack of towels and cleaners, she reached into it and pulled out a small towel.
"Will this work? she asked as she handed it to the porcupine.
"Um, I think so," she replied as she looked carefully at the wound, "I think we need to clean it, do you have any alcohol?" she asked Francis, but he solemnly shook his head. Crack heard her question and looked at the bottle in his hand, and he got an idea. He ran up to Neon and poured some of the liquor on her wound, causing her to scream in pain once again. "Not THAT alcohol!" Flaky cried as Crack finished the bottle and burped loudly. "Oh well, it'll have to do..." she then used the towel and made a makeshift bandage for Neon. Francis sighed with relief as Neon laid back and started to rest, the makeshift bandage slowing her bleeding and she felt slightly more comfortable. Nutty then ran into the room, he had gotten over his candy withdrawls, to an extent, and was now somewhat calm.
"Um, guys, we may have a problem..."
Meanwhile, in the ruins of Happy Tree Town
"What are we doing back here?!" Ruffy asked Lightning and Aace, who had saved his life, only to lead him back to the cursed town. Neither of them spoke as they surveyed the rubble for any signs of danger. The entire town had been destroyed and burned to the ground, the debris was now scattered everywhere, but there was no signs of any of the demonic creatures. Ruffy finally got fed up with not being told of what was going on, "WHY THE HELL ARE WE BACK HERE?!" he shouted to the two, causing both of them to turn angrily to him and glare at him. Lightning turned back to the deserted town, took one last check for danger, and ran to the nearest pile of rubble and waited for the others to follow. Aace turned back to Ruffy.
"We know about you're town's curse," she told him and he nodded and she continued, "Death isn't permanent here, and now we're gonna use it to our advantage..." she was about to continue when they both heard a loud roar and Lightning shouting for help. They both ran past a large pile of debris and found Lightning fighting off several smaller creatures, and a large creature with various spikes sticking out of it's body and large blood stained teeth. The large creature raised it's head in the air and let out another large roar, and out of the rubble, a large force of the smaller creatures appeared and joined the others, forming a large army of demonic creatures. Then the large creature slammed it's feet on the ground, shaking the earth and causing the four tree friends to fall to the ground defenceless. Aace looked up and saw a creature lunge at her, she knew it was too late to try to dodge the attack and got ready for the impact of the creature, hoping she would be able to fight it off of her. As it lunged through the air, she saw a knife hit the it right between the eyes, knocking it down to the ground lifelessly. She stared at the dead creature, a pool of blood forming around it's body, when an orange cat wearing a denim jacket jumped over her. The other creatures looked over at the dead and bloody creature and turned their attention to the cat. The cat reached into two of the pockets on it's jacket and pulled out two more knives and stood his ground as they all surrounded him. Aace, Lightning, and Ruffy watched the cat awestruck as he stood in the middle of the crowd of deadly creatures. Finally two of the creatures ran towards him, their mouths opened wide, revealing their razor sharp teeth ready to rip through the cat's flesh. They were just about to attack when the cat tightened his grip on his knives and stabbed one of the creatures in the throat and tore the knife down, causing blood to spill from it's throat and it's body to fall into the red grass below. He raised his head, revealing a twisted smile, and in his eyes was a look of pure bloodlust as he ran through the crowd of demons, wildly swinging his knives through each of them, spilling their blood across the ground, leaving the ground a large red pool. Aace and Lightning watched amazed and saw the large demon grow angry as it watched the smaller creatures die, and it began to move towards the cat. They ran over help him as he finished brutaly killing the few remaining creatures. When they finally reached him, the creatures were all dead and he turned to them, an insane bloodlust still in his eyes as he began to swing his knives at them. Aace's eyes widened as she took out her own knife and blocked his wild slashes. "What the fuck are you doing?!" she screamed at the cat, as she knocked the cat's knives out of his hands. The cat looked down at his hands, the bloodlust gone from his eyes and then noticed Aace staring at him, ready for anything.
"Oh shit, sorry about that!" he told her, scratching his neck and picking up his knives from the ground. Aace just stood her ground and kept her knife at the ready, watching the cat's every move. "I seriously didn't know you were there! Come on! I didn't mean too!" he pleaded to her, but still she glared at the orange cat, until she noticed the hulking creature behind him, opening it's deadly jaws and getting ready to kill him. She ran towards him and pushed him right as the creature lunged forward, missing both of them and crashing into a large pile of debris. Aace looked over at the motionless creature and sighed with relief as she stood up. The cat then stood up beside her and brushed himself off. He looked over at the piles of demonic corpses lying in the large red patch of blood and smiled triumphantly. Lightning walked over to the two and demanded the cat's name. "My name's Tyler!" the cat told them happily, they were stunned from his sudden change from a fierce killer, to a nice, normal Tree Friend. Suddenly, the large creature started to move once more and turned itself around to face the three who had killed the other creatures. Aace, Lightning, and Tyler stared up at the large creature, and noticed something on it's head. Aace stared closely at the object and realized it was Ruffy, climbing onto the beast's head. Aace's mouth formed a smug smile as she looked over at Lightning who had also noticed the brave bear on the head of the creature. They exchanged glances and ran rowards the beast, shouting angrily.
"Time to die you demonic piece of shit!" Aace screamed as she ran rapidly approached the beast. Ruffy stood at the top of the creature's head, he took out a long knife and raised it high in the air, as he tried to find to best place to stab it. Finally he found a spot on it's head, where two metal plates connected, but left a small gap, showing the weak skin below. He smiled and brought the blade down onto the spot with all his strength, and as the blade penetrated the skin of the monster, blood began to shoot out, spraying the bear and causing the monster to scream in pain. Aace and Lightning the jumped onto the arms of the beast and began to cut, stab and tear it's flesh even more. Blood began to form a large puddle under the creature as it tried to shake off the three tree friends, until it finally realized it was too late. And with one loud final roar, it collapsed into it's own blood below. The four tree friends gathered in front of the body and introduced themselves and discussed their next move.
"We're here to get as many survivors as we can," Lightning told Tyler, who was busy playing with one of his knives, "If you want, you can come. Just stay out of our way and don't attack us!" Tyler was too busy spinning his knife on his finger to hear what Lightning had just said.
"Yep, sure. Whatever you say, as long as I can kill more Demons, I don't care!" he replied happily and slashed at the air with his knives.
"Okay, so now we need to find the hospital..." Aace said, and then turned to Ruffy, "You think you could lead us there?" she asked him. Ruffy looked around at the destroyed ruins of the town and frowned.
"I can't tell where anything is..." he told her sadly. Just then they heard the sound of large wings flapping in the sky, they all turned and saw a large ghastly shadow spreading across the ground.
"Well that can't be good..." Tyler said as the giant flying beast casting the shadow appeared in the sky above.
"Everyone, hide quick!" Lightning told them as he ducked below a small pile of debris, the others followed as the giant creature flew past, unaware of the four. After it was well out of view, they all let out a sigh of relief and went to survey the area for the Happy Tree Hospital, or whatever's left of it...
At the Happy Tree Hospital
Flippy the green bear slowly opened his eyes as he felt himself feel the cold sensation of the wind against his waking body. He looked around and saw many others, the whole town in fact, as well as many others he had never seen before. He then noticed the nightmarish red sky and the piles of wood and metal that had once been home to many of his friends. The others began to wake and they as well stared in disbelief at their once proud town, completely destroyed. Many mourned for their loved ones, not found in the crowds of reincarnated masses. A green deer wearing a black jacket and a red headband ran through the crowd, looking desperately for his cousin, but seeing no trace.
"Mime..." the deer whispered to himself as a single tear dropped from his face and he began to feel a darkness sprout from his heart as he watched the others get reunited with their families. Memories from long ago flashed through his mind as he watched the happy families. His inner rage almost completely overwhelmed him, when he saw a purple deer walk through the crowd. The green deer watched with disbelief as the purple deer silently ran over to him, a big smile spread across his painted face. The two deer cousins reunited and happily hugged each other. They then looked around and saw the destruction and their smiles turned to frowns. The crowd was just about to leave the destroyed hospital, when a large army of creatures surrounded them. The crowd huddled together as a large winged beast landed in front of them, breathing fire into the air as it spread it's wings and cast fear into their hearts. From the beast's back, the metal plated demon, the one who had brought this unstoppable army, jumped down and walked up to the frightened crowd of Tree Friends. The was about to order the creatures to kill them, when he saw Flippy, the same bear he had ripped the heart out of the day before. He walked menacingly up to the bear, who stood his ground even as the rest of the crowd backed away in fear.
"How interesting..." the demon said as he looked over the bear, surprised he was now completely back to normal, "I guess there's more to this wretched place then I had thought..." he then noticed something in the bear's eyes, something desperately trying to break free. "Well well well, what is this?" he asked as Flippy stared into the demon's glowing red eyes, and soon fear began to set into the bear. "You have something inside you, something dark... Why don't you bring it out for us all to see?" The demon's stare then cause horrifying images to appear in Flippy's head. Flippy tried as hard as he could, but in the end he felt himself become overwhelmed by his inner darkness. The bear's eyes turned a dark green and his teeth sharpened to a point as his other personality took hold of the body. The bear looked up at the demon and took out a bowie knife and attacked, the bear swung the knife at the demon in an attempt to injure him, but the demon was too fast and grabbed the bear's arm and slammed his body to the ground. The demon was impressed by the anger and intense hatred of the bear, and as the others stared in horror, the demon's sharp teeth formed a deadly smile. "I can see the hunger for blood in your eyes, kill the others and you will earn my loyalty, then you will be able to kill as much as you'd like..." The bear listened closely to the proposition and turned to the others. They all watched him closely, hoping that any second Flippy would regain control, but instead he readied his knife and ran into the crowd. People screamed as the bear ran into the crowd, killing everyone. Blood was being sprayed in all directions as he killed more and more, savoring the sweet taste of their blood. During the madness, a large group saw a slight gap in the creatures surrounding them and ran as fast as they could to the only hope they had left. Among the many, were Mime and his cousin Rhyme, the green deer. They both ran in the middle of the large group trying to escape into the forest. As the group got farther away from the bloody mayhem, the demon ordered his army of creatures to kill all of those left alive from the bear's slaughter. He then turned to the bear, "You have doen satisfactorily, now can have the honor of helping me rid of all these pitiful creatures. Now what is your name?" The bear smiled deviously.
"Call me Evil..." he replied as they both walked off to discuss the town's unusual nature.
Meanwhile Mime, Rhyme, and the other fleeing survivor's were finally approaching the forest, they could see their freedom in their grasp. Then loud screams could be heard from behind as the large flying demon burned several of them to a crisp, but still they all kept running. The smaller creatures were now catching up to the slower Tree Friends and their death screams were heard by the few survivors, Mime Rhyme, and two light brown bears. They dashed into the forest and ran until they could run no longer. The tired and sore survivors sat and rested at the bottom of a large tree and waited for their strength to come back to them. Finally, some minutes later they had all rested enough to stand up and see the others who had survived the blood bath. Rhyme stood with his cousin, watching the others carefully, as they greeted each other.
"Hey, so I guess we might as well get to know each other, since..." the one bear with blond hair said to them, not wanting to bring up the terrible sight, "Well, I'm Benny, and this is my friend Hollow." he said pointing to the other bear, who smiled slightly and Mime and Rhyme noticed his two different coloured eyes. One eye was red, while the other eye was blue, causing Rhyme to wonder whether or not to trust him with his, and his only family member's life. But his smile and non threatening behavior made him decide it's best for them to all stick together.
"I'm Rhyme, and this is my cousin Mime." he said as his cousin tried his best to smile, despite what had just happened. "So, we're all alive, now what?" Rhyme asked the bears.
"I don't know," Benny replied, looking further into the forest, "You think there's any others? Ones who got out of the town the first time?" he asked the others and they all started to think.
"Yeah, I didn't see Ruffy come to think of it," Hollow replied and the others began to get hope, "Maybe he survived, and if he did, then maybe others did too!" the group began to think of where to start their search, knowing that even if they did find the others, the demonic army would soon find all of them... and none of them dared think of what would happen next...
