BIG TPOT 15 SPOILERS! WARNING!

MePhone woke up in a great mood again that morning. Until he walked outside. They were going to have their usual breakfast outside with Black Hole, and he was actually going to join, until he saw this strange crack in the sky. "Hey, guys, do you-" MePhone asked, pointing up, until he lost his thought looking at Marker. "Why are you green?" he asked.

"What?" Black Hole asked.

"What do you mean?" Marker asked. "I've always been green."

"Yeah, we call him Marker the Green," Tree added.

"He's not supposed to be green, right?" Black Hole checked.

"No, he's supposed to be purple, right?" MePhone replied.

"Thank goodness someone else noticed," Black Hole said.

Two glitched out and turned into Nine. "What's up, dude bros?" he asked.

"What's happening?" Black Hole asked.

"Tell me someone else sees this," MePhone said, rubbing his eyes. There was an usually long silence. MePhone pointed at the sky. "You don't see the big hole in the skyyyyyy-?" MePhone asked, his voice getting higher. A song started, and he ended up high-fiving Winner in the beginning. It ended, nearly as quickly as it started. "What was that?" he asked.

"That was the theme song," Black Hole replied.

"It's time for Cake at Stake!" Nine said, speaking loudly before anyone else got a chance to talk.

Nine played a quick little song that started with a man on a skateboard and ended with the words 'Cake at Skate' on the screen. "Who are you?" Black Hole asked. Before Nine could answer, he glitched into another Algebralien, who looks like a square root.

"Who am I?" he asked. "Oh, Black Hole, we go way back! I'm Ean! The twenty seventh letter of the alphabet!"

"There's only twenty six letters," MePhone noted.

"And you know the twenty eighth letter, Vrrt!" Ean continued. "In fact, he's our prize! So, Black Hole! You're safe with twenty one thousand votes!" Ean tossed a blue-ish colored Algebralien into Black Hole.

Ean switched between many hosts, all up until Basket Ball and Robot Flower, who were eliminated by a small speaker box. He reached out with a shovel and tossed them both into the air.

"Don't you guys see this?" Black Hole asked. "What happened to Two?"

"See what, Black Hole?" Golf Ball asked.

"Reality is just...bending!" Black Hole cried.

"And there's that hole in the sky," MePhone added, pointing up at the large break that started forming.

"Reality breaking?" Golf Ball repeated.

"No," Tennis Ball said.

"It couldn't!" Golf Ball cried.

"The Yoylelite!" they cried in unison. Golf Ball ran into her Underground Lab and came back up with a weirdly colored rock. It's a grey blue with yellow spots on it. "Yoylelite can bend reality," Tennis Ball explained. "Something must have happened with it."

The contestants blinked, then looked up. "Marker, have you always been green?" Tree asked.

"The failed debuters are gone!" Pen cried.

"TV!" Golf Ball called. "Where are the timeline anomalies?"

A loading screen appeared on TV, then a timeline with pictures and dates appeared. They seem to be other episodes of previous seasons. "How are we going to fix them?" Tennis Ball asked.

"Like this!" Golf Ball cried, smashing the Yoylelite into pieces. It separated into four pieces, one for each team.

The square speaker box glitched into Seven, who appeared next to TV. "Alright teams!" he cheered. "Pick up your weird rocks and fix these anomalies! We gotta fix this timeline if we want that hole to go away!" He pointed up at the large crack in the sky, glitching in words, numbers, colors, and various limbs. TV gave them each a certain location to go back and fix, while Black Hole stayed behind.

The teams gathered all the failed debuters. That was their challenge. To fix the anomalies wasn't too important as gathering the debuters was. In fact, whoever could bring back more debuters automatically wins and they're safe. But the timeline needs to be fixed.

Death PACT Yet Again seemed to be handling the timeline breaks. They were putting things back the way they were. The host switched out a couple of times, which really made MePhone nervous.

His reality was destroyed. The reality he created. He created it, unknowingly. And then he erased all his bad memories. Doing so allowed him to forget they were figments of his imagination. He didn't know.

Then, when he did know...things broke. Cobs disconnected his MeLife app. Everything he ever created was gone. Knife, Suitcase, Nickle, Life Ring, Apple, the island, gone. He was alone.

He doesn't want it again. It's not his reality. This one is real. But...if everything goes down, will he go down with it? Or will he stay behind in blank nothingness like last time? Is it his fate to be left alone? To have nothing? To...be nothing?

Death PACT started fixing the timeline anomalies when they saved Two from this weird alien species from the planet next door. Two was grateful, and even went himself to fix a time anomaly. Two were done in one fell swoop. But there were still more.

The longer this went on, the more nervous MePhone got. Black Hole probably was too, but it was a little hard to tell. After all, he is just a collision of matter and light, who is supposed to be in space, now that he thinks about it.

It kept bringing back memories. The same memories he didn't want. Thankfully, when X came around, he noticed MePhone was struggling and put a comforting hand on him. "I don't know what you've been through, but I hope you're okay," X said softly. MePhone didn't answer, but gave X a pained smile instead.


Eventually everything was finished. All the teams had returned. Pencil was having a fight with Golf Ball, which ended up taking her team back in time again. TV pulled up the time on his screen as everyone breathlessly watched.

"No, Leafy! You can't come in! Stay out!" called a fire, and, by the consistency of the names, MePhone assumed his name was Firey. He slammed the doors on Leafy, trapping Leafy outside. "Ooh, I want to see!" Yellow Face said, taking a few steps before he was pushed back by Winner.

"No, Yellow Face, we can't mess with the timeline," he said.

"Aw," he said.

"I don't care," Pencil said. "I'm going up there."

"No, you're staying here," Pillow said in her unusually high voice. She tackled Pencil, however, it ended up both of them getting on top of the bridge to the golden gates. Pillow attached herself to Pencil's head, Pencil groping at her until she threw her off and at Leafy.

Leafy's phone blasted out of her hands, and onto the gates. Firey reopened the gates and stared at Leafy. "You know what, you're cool! Come on in!"

Leafy excitedly ran inside. "Did Leafy just enter Dream Island?" Golf Ball asked, appearing behind Pillow and Pencil. "What have you done? We've done too much damage!"

The rip in the sky grew to a large, black rip. Enough that you could see inside and see nothing but empty blackness. The same blackness from before. MePhone knows this empty feeling. He doesn't like it.

MePhone looked away from the hole and put his hands on his head.

Somehow, CloudYay got teleported back, and were declared the winners, along with BAGGED, in which they were announced by their notes. MePhone tried to ignore the gaping black hole above him. He really did. But the emptiness he felt from it, the same emptiness when he was alone, when he had nothing left, it wouldn't go away. No matter how much he tried to push it into the back of his mind, it wouldn't leave.

Everyone gathered around, with their friends, and their teams. Some watched the blackness, as it grew and shattered the sky, others covered their eyes.

MePhone didn't have anyone. He was alone. Again. That's all there was. Darkness. Pitch black, empty darkness. No one cared for him. No one wanted him. No one needed him. Why did he even come here in the first place? He's falling down the same hole he hated, the hole he despised. The one in the back of his mind. The one with all his darkest fears and nightmares. The ones with Cobs. There's no escape from this hole. This hole of empty nothingness. This hole of his worst memories.


He felt a hand. He was scared. It's Cobs. He just knows it. The empty feeling tells him. Besides, there's nothing he can trust. No one he can trust.

He was dragged closer. That's not right. Cobs won't do that. Cobs would never drag him closer, not unless he wanted something. Even so, he would yell at him until he did it. So...who could it be? Could...could someone actually care for him?

MePhone opened his eyes. He looked around to see the ground changing colors, and styles, and even the way it felt. It felt hard, then there was no grass, and then the grass he was used to returned. He glanced up to see the sky changing colors and bits of the darkness falling. He closed his eyes again. He didn't want to feel that. Not again.

He felt a tighter grip. He opened his eyes again and looked to his right. The arm wrapped around him is Pin. Tree is holding Icy and Fanny, along with Pin. Pin put her arm around MePhone, even though he was on the ground. Death PACT got closer to him, on the ground, to help him. To help him feel not alone. To let him know...that he doesn't have to do this by himself. And he'll never have to... again. He's never alone. Even his contestants care about him. Most of them didn't see him leave, but some part of him tell him...that they care.

Everyone looked up at the hole. MePhone kept his eyes down. The darkness of the sky just reminded him of the same empty feeling in his heart. The hole grew wider, with a large crack sound, and everyone closed their eyes.


When he reopened his eyes, things were back to normal. The hotel is back, with the bathrooms on top. The grass is back, the sky is back. Everything is the same, except for Marker. Marker remained green. And that empty hole in the sky. MePhone refused to look at it. It just kept reminding him.

Black Hole floated up to the hole. He forced it closed, somewhat, but at least made it smaller than it was before. "Okay, I can live with it like that."

"Aw, I'm still green," Marker said.

"Looks like there's still a few changes," Golf Ball said.

"'A few changes?'" Two repeated, a look of worry on his face. He flew into the hotel. "Two, wait!" MePhone cried. Pin let him go. MePhone ran after Two.

He stopped in the hallway. That feeling. It's back. But...it's different. It's not his. MePhone walked slowly towards the kitchen.

He stopped in the doorway. Two looked around the room, glued to one spot, frantically. "Gaty..." MePhone whispered.

This scene broke me. If Two turns into MePhone, I'm going to be SO ANGRY. We're already getting II 17 vibes here!
