*Pewdie's POV*
The Bros and I made our ways over to {Name}. In his/her hands, he/she holds the most beautiful potion I've ever seen. It's silver in color, but since it is enclosed in an amber bottle, it has somewhat of a tangerine tint to it. Rainbow colored marbles that look somewhat squishy dance around in the gorgeous liquid, and sparkles enhance its beauty as it glitters brilliantly in the sun. We looked up at Barrel, expecting him to be in hysterics over his stolen potion. But he wasn't; he was smirking.
"If you waited, you could've won the battle," he said simply. "What?!," Cry demanded. Barrel paced a little. "One of my Barrels made this for me. I've never seen it in action myself, but I heard that it'll help me in battle," he explained. "Since you are the keepers of it right now, I can break the bottle, and you will face the power. {Name}, if you broke it while it was on my belt, you could've won this battle."
Before anyone could act, Barrel flicked his wrist so his pocket knife fell out of his glove pockets. He then lifted it to his lips. "My dear weapon, I'm so sorry. I must abandon you, though I've had you since I was the same age as the shrimp!," he paused to give Mayo a dirty look. "Just always remember, you were always my favorite weapon, and you helped me through a lot."
Barrel pulled his arm back, and shot it forward, sending his knife at the bottle in {Name's} hands. The gleamingly silver blade struck the amber bottle, and all the sparkling liquid spilled out. And suddenly, the rooftop the Bros and I were standing on bursted into raging, rainbow-colored flames, which consumed us in one whole swallow, silver sparks slowly dancing their way up our bodies.
This is what torture must be
Fire is the only thing I can see
As the sparks rise, I begin to become beat
I cannot take all of this heat
All of my power is beginning to drain,
My entire body is in pain
The sparks are around my neck up high
I swear! I think I'm gonna die
Is this really how it will end?
I'll miss you, my friends!
Once the ring of electricity jumped off of my body and back into the fire, everything died down. The fire dropped the Bros and I in a circle, all of us lying on our front sides. I moved my eyes to see Barrel standing there. He wasn't cackling...he wasn't even smirking! He was just standing there.
"I'm so sorry, Bros," I whispered weakly. And without thinking, I moved my hand so that it was placed on top of Stephano's.
Stephano moved his so that it was on Gonzales's.
Gonzales's placed his hand gentle on top of Mayo's.
Mayo shifted his hand so that it was rested on Mr. Chair's.
Mr. Chair slid his on top of Piggeh's.
Piggeh put his onto {Name}'s.
{Name} eased his/her's onto Cry's.
And Cry rested his on mine.
Once we were all connected, I began to feel strong once again. After I felt completely revived, a silvery beam shot up from the center of us towards Barrel.
Barrel didn't act scared at all. Instead of yowling in fear, he threw his arms out to the side, and tossed his head back. And I could've sworn I heard him say, "Take me quickly; I deserve the pain." Did that mean he felt bad for hurting us? That he didn't know the potion would harm us that badly? I-I wonder...
The silver beam swallowed Barrel, as his body turned white, and he teleported away. After everything was calm again, we all pulled ourselves so that we were sitting up. "We did it again, Bros!," I cheered. Laughing to each other, we exchanged a round of Brofists. Yes!
