Dead. Everything that these survivors thought of a graveyard should be has come together, as one. All of their ideas, thoughts, etc. had come into one single graveyard.
"this place gives me the chills." John grips onto Dave's arm.
"kinda wish araida was here to tell us if there is something strange going on" Dave says.
"We can't lose hope," Rose pauses, "all we can do now is prepare ourselves."
"L3TS TRUST 34CH OTH3R."
"FUCK YEAH."
"Trust is the most awesome thing in the world." Roxy says.
The jade blood stops, near the wall of the gate, cautiously hearing with sound of the eerie cemetary. Silent whispers of the howling wind bristle through the pine trees, silently brushing against the stones of tombstones; it seems to her that the wind is giving her a warning, but she couldn't tell what the warning is. Quietly, she listens intently, focused on the whispers of the wind. Karkat turns to look at her, sees that she is hearing for something that he didn't know, but still thought that she shouldn't be bothered.
"WH4TS UP W1TH K4N4Y4?" Terezi pauses, "SH3 H4SNT S41D 4NYTH1NG 1N 4 WH1L3."
"SHE'S IN ONE OF HER THINKING STAGES," Karkat answers, "LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FUCKED UP AND CAUGHT HER ATTENTION. I WONDER WHAT THE HELL IT COULD BE."
Kanaya sighs and gives up on what is being warned.
"WH4T 1S 1T?"
"The Wind Started To Whisper Something As Hit Hit Against The Pine Needles Of The Trees And As It Brushed Up Against The Stone Of These Headstones"
"could you tell what the wind was trying to say"
"I Could Tell That It Was Not Hopeful As I Suspected It Came Out To Be More Of A Warning"
"a warning?"
"COULD YOU MAKE OUT WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO WARN US ABOUT?"
"Unfortuantly No" Kanaya pauses, "I Can Pick Up A Little Of Who Is Sending This Warning Through The Wind But That Is It"
"Really?" Roxy asks.
"Who?" Rose adds.
"Our Ancestors Karkat Terezi"
"WO4H, TH4T 1S JUST W13RD."
"NO IT'S NOT, THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE HEARD SINCE THE OUTBREAK."
"Do you think you can attempt at figuring out the warning again?" Rose asks.
Kanaya glances into her eyes.
"I Will Use A Different Stradagy"
She leans her body up against the brick wall, closing her green eyes, and begins focusing.
"well at least we know that your dead relatives are giving us hints"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP."
"well, it's the truth."
"Shh, Kanaya's trying to figure it out." Roxy pauses, seeing something shining on the ground, "Ha, I have been wondering where I dropped you."
She picks up the bottle of vodka and drinks it. Everyone else waits for what Kanaya has to say. Rose stand close to her.
"Unsafe" She mummbles.
"what did she say"
"Unsafe? What is unsafe, Kanaya?"
"UNS4F3?"
"Graveyard"
"UNSAFE GRAVEYARD?"
"Flee Before You . . . Kanaya stops.
"Flee before we what?" Rose asks.
Kanaya's eyes open, think grey fog came rolling in, it starts to get harder to see her friends.
"WELL, THIS IS FUCKING GREAT."
"1 C4NT SM3LL 4NYTH1NG."
"I can't see." Roxy swings her arms around.
"what the hell is going on"
"i can't see where i'm standing."
"Where are you guys?"
"I Hear All Of You But I Can . . ."
The jade troll stops feeling sharp claws going through her.
"1 SM3LL SOM3TH1NG."
"yo kanaya are you okay you just stopped talking all the sudden" Dave says, trying to find his way through the fog.
Kanaya kicks Nepeta away from her, holding both of her sides, trying to stop her jade blood from flowing out of the wound.
"I Am . . ." She pauses, face showing pain, "I Am Fine"
"WHERE ARE YOU, KANAYA?"
"You don't souind okay." Roxy studders.
"Do Not Worry"
"I'm coming, Kanaya!" Rose fights her way through the fog.
Dave grips onto something.
"ouch!" John hisses.
"john"
"dave?"
"found you"
Roxy stutters and grabs onto Dave's hand.
"Fouind you."
Karkat coughs a little.
"TEREZI!"
"K4RK3LS, WH3R3 4R3 YOU?"
"I HEAR YOU, I'M COMING."
"1 C4NT SM3LL 4NYTH1NG, 1 C4NT MOV3 TO F1ND YOU."
"DON'T FUCKING WORRY ABOUT IT, I'LL COME AND FIND YOU."
"4LR1GHT."
Karkat pushes fog out of his way. His had hits cold skin.
"TEREZI?"
"K4RK3LS!"
"THANK GOD I FOUND YOU."
Terezi puts her arms around him. Rose pushes her way through the fog.
"Where are you, Kanaya?"
The jade troll slowly continues walking.
"Over Here"
"I hear you," she pauses, "wait right there, I am coming."
"Okay"
The human continues to push her way through the deep grey fog.
"Damn it, it's so thick, I can't see a thing."
She soon feels an arm with something wet on it.
"Kanaya?"
"Yes Rose"
Rose sees the fog thinning up a little, looking down at the blood coming from Kanaya.
"Kanaya, your . . ."
"Do Not Worry I Am Fine"
Both Kanaya and Rose heard a hissing noise.
"CAN YOU B-E S)(OR-E ABOUT T)(AT?"
Pain, all Kanaya could feel is pain, looking down at the trident that went through her, jade blood flowed out of her mouth, blood landed on Rose as she used her wand to send Feferi away. The human puts her arms around Kanaya, crying, seeing that the troll's jade tears coming out from her green eyes.
"Kanaya, say something!"
"R . . . Rose"
The troll exhales, her eyes shut half way, a smile forms at her lips. The human gently shakes Kanaya.
"No! Kanaya! Wake up!" Rose pauses, "Please, Kanaya! Wake up! You are the one I see living through this!"
The others could hear what Rose screamed.
"rose, are you okay?"
"Kan . . . Kanaya!"
Dave, John, and Roxy had found their way to Terezi and Karkat. Terezi sniffs the air; smelling the flavorless grey fog, until the wind carried a small sent of flavor. She gasps.
"WHAT CAUGHT YOUR NOSE?"
"I SM3LL 1T."
"Kanaya, wake up!"
"is everything okay rose"
"1 SM3LL GR33N T34."
"GREEN TEA?"
"Please wake up," Rose cries, "we can't go on without you."
"Morm?"
"Please, Kanaya . . ." The human pauses, as the fog descends, "Don't be dead."
Once the others could see clearly, they all ran to the two.
"KANAYA!"
"SH3S . . ."
"gone"
"no, she can't be."
"Whrat are we going to do now?"
Rose holds Kanaya close.
"what a touching sigh8." Vriska asends.
Karkat glares up at her.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO HER?"
"it wasn't what i had in mind," the zombie pauses, "8ut, that works out. jane, if you please."
Roxy lifts her head up to see Dirk, Jake, and Jane. The zombie version of Jane puts both of her hands up and starts glowing. Jane's resurrecting powers started to heal up Kanaya's wounds, slowly letting them scar up, then the trolls eyes open, and she begins to breath heavily.
"Kanaya!"
She turns over to see Rose.
"Rose"
Everyone is pushed back by some sort of power, then being held against their will. Karkat being held down by Nepeta, John gets held by Eridan, Roxy gets held by her group of alpha players, Rose being held down by Equius and Tavros, Dave gets held by Jade, Terezi gets held by her own kismases, and Kanaya gets held, by the horn, by Vriska, who pins her against the brick wall of the gate.
"i won't have them killed yet," Vriska whispers into the jade blood's ear, "not until you 8ehave."
Jade tears form, feeling like she can't move her body as Vriska steps away.
"I Can Not Move"
"oh, how i've always loved my spiderwe8 trick."
"let us go"
"no." Vriska smirks.
"What the hell are you planning?"
"i am surprised that you didn't see it, lalonde," Vriska pauses, "this is your final act, 8efore it's good8ye for you."
"if touch me server player," John pauses, "i swear to god, i'll . . ."
"you'll do nothing," Vriska hisses, "8ecause, it is also your good8ye as well."
"dont touch them"
"8esides, it's not just her's and your's, john," Vriska pauses, grabbing a hd of John's neck, "it's all of yours."
Kanaya gasps.
"If You Want Us All Dead Why Did You Have The Jane Human Revise Me"
"8ecause, i'd like to see your face as i'll force you to watch your group of friends die right 8efore your eyes," Vriska laughs, "plus i'd like to see that look on your 8eatiful face when your matesprit is the last one to 8e killed!"
Jade tears come out of Kanaya's eyes. Vriska leans in and licks the tears.
"salty, just the way i like the tears to 8e."
"Kanaya."
She glances over at her.
"Let me see her, Vriska!"
"you would like to see her?" Vriska laughs, "fine, lalonde, you get three minutes."
Rose gets out of the grasp of Equius and Tavros, she walks up to Kanaya as Vriska steps away and turns her back. The human puts her hands on Kanaya's face.
"Kanaya, listen to me," she whispers, "you are a space player, you have to be the one who lives on through this, even if it means losing your friends, or even me."
"Dont Say That Rose"
"Kanaya, please live on and remember us as survivors fighting to the end, remember us as your friends," Rose whispers again, "remember me, for now and always."
The jade troll's tears, uncontrollably flow out her eyes.
"I love you, Kanaya Maryam, and always will." Rose says out loud.
"I Love You Too Rose I Will Forever"
Rose gently kisses Kanaya's lips.
"your three minutes is up, lalonde."
Rose pulls away and kisses Kanaya's forehead.
"Please remember what I said."
Equius and Tavros grab her arms and drag her away from Kanaya, back to the unmarked tombstone. The jade troll glances at everyone, seeing them frightened, and yet everyone prepared themselves for this.
