4. Chapter 4: The Pain of the Souls wounds

Chapter 4: The Pain of Wounds of the Soul and the Light that Protects her and heals her.

Meanwhile at Poppy's room where A now Sleeping Poppy, Stressed Dandy, Rodger and Goob were while she slept*

Dandy: WHat are we going to do... What are we going to do... Kids arrive in 1 hour- 50 minutes. If they see this mess... How bad it would go for us... *as he paced and thought Goob looked down at Poppy who was held onto his hug as she slept*

Goob: still the same in some ways..! *he smiled* Poppy isn't a monster like scraps said right? *Goob was rather an innocent fella*

Rodger: No Goob... despite her rather... Violent outburst... She did show remorse..., and held back... Something a real monster wouldn't show... *as he starred at poppy and Goob Analyzing the situation* Dandy's right, this predicament... Puts us in a short time problem with a fast needed solution...

they all thought and thought meanwhile Poppy just held on to the last thing she felt and in Goobs eye's all his friend needed was a hug*

Rodger: I think right now is best we start asking Poppy of what really went down and happened... Or maybe later... We can't risk having her react like this with a potential child... That way we may at least know what triggers this and what to avoid... This kind of reaction at least. *as dandy and Rodger looked at Poppy Sleeping* Best we keep on standby... Actually Astro you've been rather quiet my friend... Why's that? Do you know something? Astro?

astro sighed nervously*

Astro: Yes... a bit… to know right now that whatever she experienced and was put through was heavy…. And if we try to talk about it we might cause her a lot of pain or anguish... *he paused* But I can try and help you Rodger... Okay? *he nodded* hm...

they stood and thought on what to do about this, what could they do, and Goob thought of an Idea*

Goob: what if i stay close to her to prevent any... Fights...! With hugs! *his proposal Innocent and sweet but also could at best work* and astro could help with that!

as Astro thought back on Rodgers question* Astro: I was dwelling in dreams as usual yesterday but while I was doing so I saw her having one I couldn't enter... It was strange, like a calm barrier that wouldn't allow me... *this caused rodger intrigue and Dandy some Curiosity*

Dandy: A barrier Astro? That's odd... You're normally able to access the dreams of every toon... Odd a barrier would prevent you from accessing hers... *he thought*

Rodger: Indeed... Any other details? Astro anything strange? *he stared Inquisitively, since this was new and strange already and a barrier from who?*

Astro: well... She was having a good peaceful dream... I managed to see or was allowed that level of glimpse... But there were also others waiting outside this barrier... Shadows of many fears, angers, pain and anguish but one I didn't recognize was a big purple one... It felt like great grief and loss... And the other was this anger, an almost intense sadness and hatred so high... Not even Shrimpo had... Waiting outside... The barrier would burn them unlike me and they stared... At her with such hatred... Just watching with so much hatred... Ready to attack her dreams at any time... *meanwhile Poppy started Moving around at a sudden unrest...* huh… is she having a nightmare? *as she began to sweat* oh no...

Rodger was very intrigued by this. loss? Anger? Hatred larger than shrimpo's? And grief and pain? anguish ? these were all emotions they weren't themselves used to experiencing... Unless wherever she had been too wasn't within this place... But elsewhere...*

Rodger: Huh? Oh sorry...! Astro I suppose we should let you deal with this?

astro hestated, knowing that whatever she might be having might be heavier then whatever he's use to dealing with*

Astro: yea... I have to... And I'm curious myself about what she saw and went through... Hope it's manageable for me... And whoever put the barrier... Helps me out if things get too heavy for me... *as he sat down next to Her and Goob he worked his magic and focused* ALright... Let's see...

Within the dreams Astro looked around seeing hers only*

Astro: oh poppy whats wrong...? *looking at hers being a dark almost cave like place full of dread* Oh no... *he rushed in but not before hearing a voice a gentle whisper tell him, 'do not go far in do not fight him yourself, be careful, and call on me" as he rushed in confused and startled by the gentle whisper and voice before hearing another, 'don't be arrogant. Know your limits and call on him whenever and wherever' as astro entered her dream*

Poppy: Nononononononooo.. Why Why ARE YOU HERE AGAIN YOU WRETCHED

CREATURE! *as before her stood the warden a more larger twisted form of it bearing the dead bodies of all her pets and Hard skull also laying as it pointed*

Warden: You are no different than us. Are you not also a monster?

Astro came in and saw the dream or nightmare she was having... The Guts and dead bodies of zombies and pets laying there, a dark cave full of weird stars, blue like mold? Sculk. And the body of a fading hardskull as she cried and the warden looked at her along with some mutant skeletons and a more deformed version of siren head, the Sculk Rex and Yutyrannus's she'd fought*

Poppy: noo… maybe… NO! I'm not like your twisted lies say! You took them... You brutalized their innocent animal bodies... You WRETCHED M-

WArden: Are you not more different? DID YOU NOT BEAT ONE OF YOUR OWN KIN AND FRIENDS TO NEAR DEATH OVER some insulting words?

Sculk Rex: You are no better than we are, you. You're worse for killing more than we did.

Siren Head: You are a Monster. A raging threat to those friends you love.

as it played a siren noises*

Poppy: noo... I'm not... I'm no monster... I'm good right? But what if that's a lie? Maybe I am...? Why did I do that... Why did I hurt them...

soon it changed to her seeing the death of her pets again the warden killing them with no mercy... Beating them... Ripping them...*

Poppy: NO! PLEASE! NOT THEM PLEASE!

as astro saw this he felt sick a need to throw up, the messed up images shown before him*

Poppy: please...! HARD SKULL NOO! LET ME RESCUE THEM! PLEASE! *as she was brought the cave and switched to her watching in a void crying*

Astro: Oh... Poppy... What you suffered... *as then it turned into a flaming scene a fire as flashes of images of her killing many were taunted toward her* Oh no... Scraps why did you say that...

Astro: huh...? *he had been scarred by how heavy her nightmare was... And saddened seeing her suffer this much and what he had seen showed that 1 day were 4 terrible nights for her...* Poppy... Hm... *he looked around as the nightmare switched scenes to when she first fought a Yutyrannus as it bit down and tried to kill her biting her arm leaving exactly where she had the big bite mark on her arm or shoulder* Poppy!

Poppy: Get OFF! PLEASE! I Don't Wanna die! Please! *as the Yutyrannus Roared ready to bite down as Astro decided try and intervene before being stopped by a "no"* PLEASE HELP! AHHH! *As that same burning fire came again as the sculk rex appeared fighting and killing it infront of her* I- *she ran panting out of dread* why... Why... Do they want me dead...?

Astro: …Poppy where were you… I'm so sorry... *as the flame grew and she grew more hateful, more angry while this sense of wrong grew and it switched back to the scene where the warden killed her pets* oh no... *as Poppy enraged saw it, pulled her blade out* I"M GONNA KILL AND RIP YOU TO PARTS YOU MON-! *as she was about to act and it stared at her as something appeared? something in the nightmare encouraged the words to kill it! Kill it. Do not be weak! And this is where Astro heard a voice speak "talk and intervene" "Yell" as he heard this he rushed in and with his magic grabbed her by the shoulder calmly* Poppy... No… Don't become like them... Don't turn against him... Po- *she turned at him ready to kill him before beginning to tear up and cry* Don't do what that thing did... *as she cried*

Poppy: I- I- what am I doing... He wouldn't like this... What have I considered... *as she dropped the sword and hugged Astro tightly despite the armor she was wearing she didn't discomfort him thanks to it being a dream* Why are you here... I- as she felt calmer but still angry, dread and fear...* I- get out of here please i don't want to lose you too! *her tone was begging* Please...? *as the warden Raged now the ambient grew darker as it walked slowly to them*

as Poppy started whispering* Poppy: please friend, figure... Light... Please... I just need help... *as she saw Astro paralyzed in Fear he wasn't moving what that thing was showing him was perturbing* Astro...! Astro! *she hugged him tightly and Tried protecting him before calling back to the name, what Hard Shell told her... What that kid said in one of his ideas*

Flashback-

Poppy: SO Whooo! Has some ideas for today's Work! Huh! Anyone! *a small kid around 8 years old spoke* ! I have an idea and a question! *SHe looked at him* YAY! What's your idea! Tell me! *she got close*

8 year old boy: Sooo Ms? What if we prayed? My momma says it's always good to pray before we do do! So we have great ideas! *as Poppy Starred* well Ms?

Poppy: hmm yea sure! Why not! *as she sat down next to him* SO how's this work?

then the boy turned to her and also whispered* Ms... You're not alone... Jesus loves you... And he cares... Don't let the bad shadows lie to you... *as he hugged her and smiled* He protects you... No matter what you are... *as Poppy starred with a joy she hadn't felt in longtime a new sense of joy too*

Poppy: I- thanks... I really appreciate that... *smiling tearing up once* I really do... *as she thought pensively* Well let's pray huh? Always open to try new things!

the boy began praying*

8 Year old Boy: okay! I know this from Psalms! My mom reads it to me and dad! Okay! *Poppy nodded smiling* Lord Jesus I come to you with this prayer of this day to repent of any of my sins and ask for forgiveness first! Please forgive me of all my wrongs and in-inuq- inequity...! And take away all my sins, please forgive me lord and i come pray psalms 5, Listen to my words, Lord, Consider my lament Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, For to you I pray. And Verse 8-12! Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies– make your way straight before me. Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies. Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you. But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. And uh Psalms 4! Verse 8! In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety. amen.

Poppy felt odd that day different as if the voices were suddenly silent that day or thoughts that came and tormented her were for that moment gone*

Poppy: wow... That was beautiful and impressive! For a child your age! *the boy smiled* and

amen! Well let's get working then!

as they did the boy hugged her again saying* The Lord is Close to the broken hearted. Jesus loves you !

Flashback- end

as the warden charged at her when she called out the name*

Poppy: please Jesus... Forgive me for my anger and my violent actions, I- *before a bright presence appeared causing it to cover its face and run in fear roaring and squalling before been cast away* wha- *it roared before staring up, trembling in fear and running away along with the darkness and multitude of dark shadows with it as they ran* Please make me dwell in Safety oh God... *as they ran and the nightmare ended meanwhile Poppy Hugged onto Astro holding him tightly* I'll do my best to make it up to you... Sorry you saw this... *looking up seeing the white glowing figure once more* Friend? I- "may my peace be with you for no can take the peace I give" *as Astro snapped out of it feeling an Odd Peace before the Dream ended at least for astro*

Astro: HUH! What... Was that... *as he got out of the realm of dream startled shaken but at peace*

Out the dreams-

rodger had seen the reactions as dandy and rodger was trying to wake him up since he was hyperventilating before he woke up*

Astro: What happened, why am I on the floor? *looking around* wait *as he remembered the terror and fear*

meanwhile within the dream*

Poppy: huh... where am I? *she was gonna ask before feeling an embrace... A warm, loving embrace from someone* Huh? I- who- *she was just hugged she felt a peace and sense to just cry

?: calm my young little creation... Forgive me for putting and letting you suffer more than you should... *this figure hugged her greatly* My poor Poppy... Rest my little bubble... *as it let her cry and cry* rest...

Poppy: why...? Why! I- just please no more... I can't handle it... I- please don't go...

?: I went too far my little bubble... I should've protected you then... Do not go... For I refuse to let you suffer more pain like this... Not more than you can handle... *patting her as she felt calm wash over* Be careful with toodles or your friends. They may tamper with some of your items and if case, resolve, you all end up in that world.

as Poppy grew wide eyed, That place... Was a living Suffering for her*

Poppy: wha- WHAT! I- Don't want them to suffer as I did... I managed thanks to my friend... And something else... But they... There too used to living happily…. They're innocent mostly... Gigi... she's too soft and excitable like me... Vee might handle being an Analytic Toon but even then i'm pretty sure they'd all die... I-

it stared at her*
?: yes. But that's where you come in... your suffering... Your friends lost there weren't in vain... You would have to guide them, Lead them and help them grow. *staring down now on par eye to eye* I have not let you go through this without meaning... I care for you and love you. As I also care for you friends as well. But it is through Adversity that perseverance is born, but as well as surviving makes you uncover skills. You're a fighter and were able to lead and tame. You shall do well. Just trust that he is always with you and that Nothing is truly out of control. Now go forth be ready, do not fear, for you don't have fear but courage is what was given to you.

Dream ends-

as Poppy herself got up Astro had been saying one thing*

Poppy: huh? My head hurts... *as she looked around* WHat happened? Why's everyone giving me pity looks...?

As Astro talked*

Astro: Whatever and wherever she was wasn't here... Or this world... The things she went through... The blood, the violence, the dread, the monsters, the gore... The fear and harshness and cruelty... Weren't I had seen before not to such detail and degree... It's best we don't push her again at all...She's way stronger than us that's one thing... Far stronger... *noticing Poppy Being awake now*

Poppy: You know I'm awake guys... And yea fine you wanna where I was I'll tell ya. It's better I get this done now then later... *as she sighed as the ones in the room were taken aback that

was sudden and fast* Well Rodger I suppose you and Astro have questions considering you saw what I went through those 4 nights and days of surviving... Not something I liked... Not images I liked seeing... *as she stared* Ask away 1 per Toon. *she seemed tired, serious and somber... Still saddened as well, but at peace*

Rodger: I'll ask first . *as he starred Curious serious and concerned* You're sure you're okay with the questions I may ask? *as she nodded*

Poppy: Yea just ask Rodger... *as she smiled to reassure* well?

as Rodger sighed*

Rodger: Alright... Well then FIrst what happened the night you disappeared? The night you ended up wherever you did? *As Poppy Sighed*

Poppy: Oooo... Well? I was awake listening and working on my ideas and plans for the next day with the kids and what to work with or mix around!.. Haha... oh how sweet that was *sounding somber but joyful in reminiscence* Well after that i heard the staff argue, some speak bad about me... Yea been dealing with that for years now... As well as other toons here, That I won't name... I had gotten tired and overall didn't wanna listen to their words either so i got up and left, to my bed that day... I went back to my room, laid back down and slept or tried too... For some time...

Rodger noted all the this*

Rodger: Wait, the Staff talk bad behind our backs? I had my suspicions on Sprout and You and maybe dandy but I guess it's more than just you and them huh...?

Poppy Nodded in confirmation*

Poppy: they do... *sighing* I couldn't sleep that night... Felt a pulse? Energy? Vibration of sorts calling to me or just bothering my sleep. *sighing* and as i did I got up to search for the source of this feeling.. It also made a weird energy engine sound? So I figured I would go find this source to try and quiet it down... *as she sighed* So I walked around till I ended up in one of the lower areas, a weird room? I hadn't seen it before? a staff room? Had a faint cyan blue glow underneath the door crack that was visible... *This caught dandy's and Rodger attention*

Dandy: Staff room? On the 2nd lower floor? What did it have written on it? *as Dandy looked rather serious* Poppy?

Poppy: Oh uh... Crayon or Red writing saying "Staff Only" A lot of Ichor? Very unmaintained...? I think while in it I saw parts? And OH- oh... Wait, that was the toon room?

looking at dandy curiously*

Poppy: Well? *looking tiredly at him*

dandy looked at her but knew that fighting her now, or threatening her would end up with his head on the floor, or Dandy's world needing a new mascot*

He sighed*

Dandy: Yes... Very Likely... I had always tried to find the room myself and did... But you shouldn't have been able to find it so easily... Guess staff haven't been very on duty lately... *he sighed now his annoyance directed at staff...* Keep telling, odd there'd be a portal there? *he said to himself*

Poppy: Oh... Alright then...? Well I opened it and saw the portal... It was well cyan-blue and I walked closer to it... *sighing* first I saw it led somewhere... So I threw some dust and bits in... first... It didn't come out to the floor so it went somewhere and I peered into it, seeing into it where I saw a vast beautiful land... Despite later finding it out it wasn't so nice... But as I contemplated going in or not... Because I decided not to, since I care for my "friends" then I was pushed when I was ready to turn back. I didn't see who or by what... But yea... And I fell like 20 ft from the ground? Maybe 40-80 ft before hitting a bunch of forest tree branches, bushes and then hitting the floor... No worries, I hit a thick pile of snow...!

As Rodger stared baffled and impressed but also intrigued especially by this figure who pushed her into the portal, as he wrote all this down on his notebook*

Rodger: Wow Poppy... That's something... How did you feel? And you said you contemplated it? Why? And this figure? They pushed you? *as he asked looking suspicious and intrigued*

Poppy: Well to answer your questions directly? 1 It hurt a lot. I hit like 24 branches and leaves and it was a pine tree too... And the ground was cold... Soft but cold... 2nd Because I hid the fact I feel and noticed a lot of folk hate me... So I contemplated whether I should and whether anyone would care... But in the end I decided not to at the time considering my friends who spent time with me... And 3rd yes I think they had a cloak? They were covered by the darkness but had a weird look? Have or haven't seen them before... And yea... that 's it don't know if they had a hat or something? Just know they were toon or a bit taller in size and height... Before they closed the door...? *she sighed* okay what else?

Rodger nodded*

Rodger: strange and I supposed it'd hurt now knowing it was Pine tree then i suppose that was one painful fall... Makes sense it'd be cold if it were snow then the temperatures would have to be around 10 to Negative temperatures... And the 2nd one... Poppy I always figured you hid something... Didn't think you thought everyone hated you... I- we can talk about this later if you want Ms. Poppy...

she Sighed*

Poppy: It's fine... For now... But now, may I continue? Telling?

Rodger nodded*

Rodger: Yes, Sorry my Apologies… and this other toon's or individual's description fits... Only a few... *looking at Poppy then at astro Silently* Hmmm... and Yes sorry you may continue Ms. Poppy... *sighing and nodding apologetically and calmly*

Poppy Nodded with a serious expression but smiled a bit*

Poppy: thanks Rodger... Now As I fell, I explored for a bit... First bit out I almost died to a DInosaur of sorts? Looked like an Allosaurus? And Rex mixed into one? Shelly would know... Had feathers over its body not too tall, maybe around 3ft or 4ft taller than me...

Rodger being somewhat Knowledgeable though not as much as shelly was in the SUbject of Prehistory and Prehistoric animals especially dinosaurus

Rodger: That, if I'm correct? Forgive me if i'm wrong but... That would be an Albertosaurus or Yutyrannus? If it had 2 digit claws and by the looks of your visible bite mark and the banana like teeth indents it left, it would be either one of those tyrannosaurs...

Poppy sighed*

Poppy: yeah well before seeing it try to maul me and bite me it was taken out by a larger one... Rex... Well a similar looking one... Covered in this Biomass which I found out was sculk... It took it down before mauling and killing it before me... I, supposed do to Territory... and If I heard Shelly correctly once then it's because tyrannosaurus was heavily territorial with its own kin and I suppose being different species meant it was also on the menu... Anyways I survived and well... Went to a forest. I was mostly confused at the time, angry, sad, scared and tired. I had to survive skeletons, Undead Zombies, some stronger, others who threw their rotten decaying flesh as a weapon... I at some point... I think I met someone? A light bright figure I remember him telling his peace was with me? Before feeling my fear dissipate... After that I went on surviving... Though each day I became angrier... Night 1 I went to the forest after killing a Weird Sculk chicken? Cooked its meat in a furnace... Oh yea This place allowed me to craft and break Tree logs for wood don't know how but after i Did i made a table? Called a Crafting Table? That's how i made some tools and-

Rodger, Dandy, Astro and Goob All caught off guard by this interrupted her midtalk*

Rodger: Excuse me Poppy...? Break Tree logs with your bare hands? What? That's not possible yet... This is another dimension we're talking about... And you ate wild meat from an alien creature?! And crafting items just like that this is amazing and So strange... *Rodger was intrigued, amazed and baffled*

Astro: I saw how the nights were unlike here where it's calm... There it's the whole opposite... Monsters everywhere... Creatures of terror that you had to survive correct Poppy...? *he looked Empathetically towards her also feeling the fear she did in that nightmare of those creatures* hm...? Creatures and violence I didn't think were possible outside of nightmares... Poppy...

Poppy looked and winced in pain remembering those nights, before sighing*

Poppy: Yea...? Though i Admit 2nd night in and day these Creatures... Were also surprised by a sudden Strength gain... Guess eating That Sculk meat and some blueberries and sweet berries worked there... Killed some larger fella's I think one was a sculk version of a Parasaurolophus...? Yea! And I ate that too... Honestly I kinda just lived off what i could... But I didn't do it alone after the first night Had tamed a Mutant Zombie... After I had gotten hunted down by many creatures within that snowy forest and Him. That Tall Siren headed Monster probably 50 ft tall? Or taller and that Sculk Rex... The sky and land weren't safe. I panicked at first... Tried hiding... As I did and placed my torch and well cried a bit because what else could i do... Till I felt this strange peace again? But also anger and hatred to feeling cornered... I was thinking of taking them all on but I got a different Idea! Not from me? Don't know where... But it was to instead let my enemies destroy themselves! *smiling and sighing* seeing how intolerant they were from... previous... Encounters... So I did! And well!

Dandy cut in*

Dandy: It was chaos wasn't it?

As Astro nodded*

Astro: from what I saw of them... Probably...

Poppy Sighed in some slight bother*

Poppy: May I continue telling? *she looked around*

they both nodded, as dandy sighed*

Dandy: Yea sorry... Just seemed like that's where you were going with…

Astro: Yea sorry continue... *as he sighed and looked back at her*

She Sighed*

Poppy: Thank you! *smiling softly* now Yes Chaos erupted Monster vs monsters, Siren Head one got Jumped by a mutant Grey brutish one and then an armada of creepers and Mutant one... So much destruction... *sighing in somberness* It wasn't fun seeing so much death... Wolves, Giant wolves, skeleton wolves and mutant skeletons and strays fighting along with Ice dragons joining that fight and chaos... As i did i saw siren head beat 1 mutant zombie near death before it revived and Siren headed monster directed it's attention to a mutant creeper which resulted in a nasty beating for both the Mutant creeper and his regular brothers and minions? All went in to blow up near his legs and when he died he blew up on his hand which after a slight punch from 1 thing? Meanwhile I think the mutant zombie was getting beat up by a grey one and his spawned Zombies? Then a Yutyr- Yutyrannus Came in to join so I figured I'd kill the siren head and them but then decided not to... And waited just had a feeling to not to… and when I did? Something ended up hitting that Siren Head Monster causing him to topple over and fall and I guess in his attempt to stop his fall he... Tried placing his hand down on the dirt floor nearby or tree and ended up impaling the grey mutant zombie with his claws instead killing him instantly... And knocking back the Yutyrannus from the Mutant Zombie... Which after the chaos ended and so forth every surviving creature when morning rose ran off or smaller monsters or creatures scavenging from the dead bodies... And well I went to help him... He resisted and I did have my sword so... Before placing it down I killed the Yutyrannus that had bit him and a Mutant Stray that was attacking me… then placed my sword stabbed through its skull and helped with some rotten flesh... And I guess after some feeding I tamed him? Don't know but I did! And well he helped me survive, carrying resources... *smiling reminiscing of those early days in that dimension* fighting alongside me... I named it Hard Shell. He was a good friend and tame...

That did make Dandy show some empathy, Astro some sadness and Goob confusion but some sadness later understanding what was meant...*

Poppy: Well he helped me survive, hunt and overall grow in hunt success.. Even helped me tame a Skeleton wolf pair by getting them angry which allowed me to tame them with some bones... I named them Wilo and Tilo. How cute of a pair they were... And 2 Sculk Raptors... Oh How shelly would've loved them...! I named them Radio because he made this weird radio sound and the other Striker... Because he was one fast attacker and biter... They were tough but Tilo, Wilo and Hard Shell helped me get enough Sculk Dino Chicken meat to tame them and corner them... Then Fisher was another more feathered raptor of sorts... He was big... I found him while spearfishing once... Guess he liked the smell of cooked fish when I found him wandering to me staring at my fish I was roasting and cooking... He was so cute as a baby... I of course gave him some and tamed him... Iraised... Cared… and Fed him till he grew... He was a great fishing pal and pet... But oh well.. *wiping some tears away* But as my final friend I had there was A wolf, I found an injured fella brown coat... I found him while I was cutting wood for a house and tools... And food hunting... He was injured I guess from a mutant skeleton... I tamed him with some bones I had and fed him back to health... He was such a suspicious fella of me at first but then trusted me after a bit... Of feeding and helping him up... He would always be suspicious of new environments, or odd changes in them, always investigating so I named after you... *looking at Rodger* rodger... *she wiped some other tears* and well we survived hunted and grew close within those 2 days… but that last day that day i had gone mining-

as Rodger cut her off*

Rodger: You named him after me...? I'm sorry for your loss either way... He sounds like one pet I would've loved to interact with... I suppose you named him after me because you missed us in a sense...? and Continue..

Poppy smiled soberly thinking of the good moments she spent with her pets and friends there...*

Poppy: yea... You would've loved him... But alas…. *wiping some tears away* anyways... Yes that too... But that day I went mining... I should've listened... To my pets... Friends... When I found that sculk... They were nervous... even Hard Shell didn't like being in that cave... He was weary and alert... But I shushed that off and didn't care... Oh how that cost me their lives... That thing the Monster made of sculk... Tried attacking me and as I was ready to leave... But they tried fighting it... They tried to defend and protect me like always... I saw that things rip one of their heads off... And beat the rest to bits and blood... I didn't get why it did this. It just killed and attacked everything that made noise or moved... I- tried to help but I couldn't. I was frozen... At its cruel display of violence... At what it did... To my little pets... *she sniffled* but oh well... I really miss them... *rubbing her eyes* anyways...! After that Hard Shell defended me and took me out of there at the time I was mad... Angry... Hateful... I said some mean things to him for not... *pausing to sigh and continuing* letting me avenge them and killing that thing... Even though he was doing his best to protect me and get me to safety... *sighing* I was like that, crying, mad etc... till we got to my house i made... I mourned and grieved... Made them little graves and some flowers... Put roses, for and Poppy floors for rodger and I- *noticing the somber and sad environment she had made* OH! Sorry... Just hurts talking about it...

Dandy and Astro nodded for her to continue as Goob nodded as well looking sadly at her*

Goob: Do you need a hug...? *as he offered his arms*

Poppy Nodded and smiled warmly*

Poppy: yea I think I do and I'd like that... *smiling* hehe... *giving into the hug and calming down slowly* Thanks Goob...!

Goob smiled and hugged tightly*

Goob: I love giving a Good hug to a sad friend! A hug is good!

she smiled and giggled*

Poppy: yea...! *sighing* okay let me continue so... After that I spent my days sad... Mostly around my house... Then the last day or night... Skeletons struck 2 mutants.. They bombed my house... Well shot it with explosives... Got up and saw Hard Shell fighting them... Hurt now... And well... With a recent loss and sadness and a whole load of anger and hatred I rushed into the battle... Killed a Yutyrannus decaped it... And in trying to help him I managed to kill 1... But in all my rushing... Yelling... And rage screaming... I caught the attention of the Sculk Rex... I had already become so angry and enraged... With dealing with the first Mutant skeleton and seeing Hardshell also somewhat beat... That when it came to beat Him up… and attack him with the last standing Mutant Skeleton of the duo that attacked us and bombed my house... I, enraged... Just dashed and rushed in.. I didn't get to do much... I got roared and blasted away before hitting the broken wooden walls and going out for like 4-8 hours...? Maybe 2… But when I got up I saw Him beat and not responsive... I tried checking up but my first action was to rush into my targets... Honestly I was so angry and full of hate and cold determination... That I- I dashed so fast I zoomed past like 50 to 100 blocks of distance in 2 seconds... And Hit the mutant skeleton first... He tried shooting but I gave no chance...hitting him with the hammer cracking his skull and spine... then I grabbed him by the arm or hand... And lifted him up and over and slammed him into the ground... Broke his legs... I cracked them... Then I cut his skull clean in half sideways...! And I just went immediately to my next target, which was sculk Rex... i leaped toward him with the dead mutant skeletons body in hand! I Grabbed that thing's ribs and ripped them open causing it to blow up on the rex's face... Then I dashed! and slammed my hammer down on its Head! cracked it... Then I slashed every bit of its body as fast as I could before jabbing my sword into its head! Killing it... I took my sword and then went...

She paused, Realising she may have gotten a little too... Descriptive... On that telling that part to them...*

Poppy: I- uh... Sorry... Got a Little to... Carried away there! *giggling nervously before making an expression of "oh i messed up there" Sorry...! Anyways... I went to Hard Shell... In his dying state... I- I... saw him stare… at me for a bit smiling... before he went unconscious... Then... I cried and grieved... Thinking at the moment he died.. Before he got up roaring... *tearing up again* I thought he had revived! Or managed to survive... But how I was given that chance to say my goodbyes to him... *ready to breakdown into tears* He stared at me... And then the sunrise... Then back at me... Before pointing at my chest then back at me and the graves... And hearing him... speak for the first time... *her voice breaking... Ready to burst into tears* He told me I was his friend... A Good friend…. Telling me he loved me and that the others did too... Saying "friends... With...friend above.. We love you Poppy…* before he smiled at me... And said "friends forever... We... always be with you... In there..." *as she pointed at her chest or where her heart would be* "friends forever..." before he died infront of me... I saw him turn to dust as he glowed red one last time... Dropping his hammer that I helped him modify... As a last thing of him... *as her tone grew soft and depressed.. She sighed* before the portal showed up again next to the graves... Which brings us to yesterday and here... *she sniffled... And wiped her tears away* So what answers are needed or questions to be asked...

Goob learned a new emotion the big sad*

meanwhile dandy... Stood there... Not knowing what to say... That was hard for him to process... And Astro? Buddy was more depressed now... Meanwhile Rodger felt his heartache for her and was concerned... Do to her emotions and description... Of what she did in anger... Still feeling empathy for her... But for all 4? They were also majorly Shocked... At 1 what she went through. 2? What she did. And 3? How she managed to survive all that and do it! And the final reason? The fast she seemed fine?*

Rodger: Okay... *breathing in deeply and sighing* How. But I'll ask those questions later... I think I got all the information I needed... And I would rather much you stay and rest for today... *he hugged her* and if you need someone to talk to... I'm available alright...? *as Dandy just nodded at Goob*

Dandy: I think it's best if we leave you to rest. I'll tell the Staff you just don't feel well, maybe say you got lost or something... I'll do my best... Goob you good?

Goob stared shocked at the violence and sadness of thee events*

Dandy: gonna have to explain that to scraps then everyone else later... You good with that?

Poppy Nodded in confirmation*

Poppy: yea... It's fine, better they know then not...? Right…? Haha... *a tired laugh but joyful*

Astro: uh... I'll be available if you need... Help sleeping... you know... *smiling at her before they all got ready to leave*

outside was everyone else... Especially toodles, They all had gotten curious to why Poppy did that and what she actually went through... Okay well It was Sprout, Finn and Brightney... Gigi ... And Connie as well who had been spying on the conversation... She wasn't laughing... If anything, that place sounded... Tiring... But also for her Ghost self... Slightly scary...*

Sprout: I- what...? Dinosaurs? Monster...? *thinking about what he overheard as well as Brightney*

Brightney: I- That sounds... Terrifying... Terrible... And painful... *she thought for a moment* Guess Rodger was correct... She really went through so much... A lot for anyone...

Sprout: I don't agree with killing but... The thought of losing a friend scares me... Family... And of course Shrimpo said something bad... He's always picking fights and striking lows... *nodding in disappointment* But The violence she did scares and impresses me... Mostly on how she survived... *sighing*

toodles was... well shocked and frozen... She heard some stuff she didn't really understand but she did get the Fact there was a lot of blood... Pain... loss... And scary things*

Toodles: I- I think Poppy is brave… *as the other 3 toons looked at her* I don't think anyone else here... Could've lived... Or face scary big monsters... And Dinosaurs... *as they looked at her*

Brightney: That's... Surprisingly... Insightful of you Toodles... *before Sprout quickly turned to her*

Sprout: Toodles! How much did you hear! Or understand...! *his usual overprotective self*

Toodles stared spooked by the sudden loud words*

Toodles: not a lot... They used hard words for me but... I understood that Poppy... Faced big monsters none of us could or dinosaurs... And survived eating yucky... Strange things... She even tamed some too! I think that makes her pretty cool and brave but also scary... Her anger sounds scary... *as she hugged her dog plush tightly* I wanna hug Poppy... I wanna be brave like that...

sprout stared at her sighing*

Sprout: phew! *looking down at her* Maybe don't listen in on this...?

toodles nodded*

Toodles: okay... *sighing sadly*

Meanwhile Gigi stood there.. Contemplating her own words... And how'd she be absent for the day... When they should probably try to be there for their friend... Maybe they could've avoided this... And finn getting hurt*

Gigi: I'm sorry Poppy... And Finn... *as she looked about maybe talking with her could do well*

back at her room as they left*

Poppy: actually! Tell Sprout and Brightney I know they were eavesdropping! *nodding while smiling* I hear very well... Honestly Toodles was more quiet and Gigi... They can come in... *as she smiled as they turned and walked out not before Rodger pausing for a bit*

Rodger: You've become more attentive I see as well ...? I also noticed them doing so but I do have 1 last question... If that's okay...? *she smiled and nodded*

Poppy: oh...? Yea sure! What is it? *tilting her head to the right a bit*

Rodger: did you manage to bring back any items...? As evidence or to research...?

This question made her remember she had brought some in her inventory! OH*

Poppy: Well... OH WAIT I DID! *as she went into her pocket and pulled out some blueberries and a Sculk Triceratops* Oh boy! Wait... *thinking for a bit as Rodger got wide eyed*

Rodger: I- *impressed and intrigued* A Triceratops Skull? I-

she was analyzing it*

Poppy: Yea? Sorry...! *shaking her a head a bit to focus on them* I did bring this stuff... Huh Neet! Wonder if any other items too... *as she put the triceratops skull on her table and Rodger wasting no time to research such a weird looking thing and fresh looking Triceratops skull and wild alien blueberries, this commotion also caught the attention of Dandy, Astro, Sprout, Brightney, Toodles, Gigi and Especially SHelly who just slightly hearing Triceratops Skull immediately rushed out in search*

Shelly: WHERE! WHERE IS THE TRICERATOPS SKULL?! *before barging in pushing the other toons aside and spotting her Golden specimen* TRIKE! *rushing up to see it up close* So... COOL! *jumping up and down in excitement as Rodger went up close to study it*

Sprout: you brought stuff back... BACK?!

Brightney: That's quite... Astonishing... *as she also saw the Skull and Astro observed from afar and felt it... Soul based energy that immediately put him concerned... But he didn't say anything being somewhat unsure*

Dandy: woah... Wowie! Wonder what we could sell stuff like this for? Or attract people with... *thinking of ideas*

Gigi: Oooo! Treasures! And trinkets...! *as she went up to Poppy intrigued but also to do something else as she hugged her* Sorry about not being such a good friend... *sighing whilst being sad*

Poppy nodded and smiled calmly and soberly*

Poppy: it's alright Gigi... sorry for doubting our friendship... *smiling* Still friends? *as Gigi paused before smiling*

Gigi: you know it...! So... What'd ya bring back...? *kicking the floor playfully*

Poppy: Come on, I'll check and see... I already know you're interested in adding to your collection of things...! *she said calmly and playfully* Let's see... *as she checked and pulled out items* mhmm... Not this… not this either... *as she tossed out some dragons scales, bones, a sculk mane, parasaurolophus meat, raw sculk chicken meat, bones, Gold Ingots, Iron Ingots, Raw Meat Chunk, Raw morsels and a Dragon Skull and Mutant Skeleton Skull... Or skulls and stray one*

POppy: that's what i had to deal with... *showing the current toons in her room the 2 Skulls and Dragon... The fact she was grabbing them Casually with her 2 hands was impressive and scary to her current physical strength* Dragons... And those Wretched skeletons... *they looked like large, bulky human skulls with large under jaws... Maybe around 4 ft wide and thick... The jaw was 4,5 ft wide and thick... The 3 lower jaw teeth...? 12 inches...long.. And The dragon's skull? It was easily... 9,7ft long and 5,9 ft tall and thick... Horns... Sharp teeth...* Yea not pretty...

The toons were frozen for a second in fear... That was terrifying...*

Rodger: a Dragon... Skull... And those human-like skulls... Were of the creatures that... *she nodded*

Poppy:yep... Had to deal with them far more often... Then most... *she sighed as an item fell, meanwhile more toons got out of there rooms to check out the commotion but Connie and Toodles were different... Toodles wanted to be brave as she was currently hiding behind Rodger... The Skulls were big and scary...*

Toodles: Poppy is brave... And strong if managed to take those big monsters down... *as she hugged*

Poppy: I missed ya toodles my little friend! *she smiled as toodles hugged onto her for a bit*

Sorry if this scares ya... You can go look at some other stuff I brought...!

as toodles stood there for some minutes before going about looking around, Poppy's rooms was now bustling with the toons curious to what Poppy had brought, But toodles well struggled to move around before hiding under Poppy's table a little scared and tired of being little*

Toodles: they don't notice me... *she sighed* I don't like being scared... Or weak... *she sat there sighing* I wish I was as brave and strong as Poppy... *she looked around* I hate when they don't notice me... *she looked as the toons talked and socialized though mostly at Poppy's door entrance... Looking while Poppy talked with Rodger and Brightney, Meanwhile Connie was concerned*

Connie: I... That Sculk stuff... *they couldn't but she could see it... The souls... In that stuff...* I shouldn't touch that... *she said first time fearfully* Whatever 'sculk* or blue mold is... Seems like it'd eat and absorb me... *as she noticed a glowing pearl and blue glowing energy rock... It was odd* huh... Wait...?

as toodles didn't notice for a bit, Connie grabbed it and felt it... Dimensional Energy... That sculk and much worse...*

Connie: … Noo… No… *She stared at it fearfully* this thing... What is it.. It would... Send us all there... Me there... *her hands trembled* I- Should hide this... *as she did try she looked around to see if anyone noticed or any nearby area was available but her hand trembled and it fazed and fell out of her hand... Tolling all they way near the table just right in the light as Toodles spotted it*

Connie: huh…?

Toodles: Huh...? what's this... ? *as she grabbed both and looked at them* hmm... *as its energy compelled her to mix them... And as a child she didn't resist well or much* Ooo... cool and shiny... I'm just... *putting both together as Connie saw this and Panicked*

Connie: no... Toodles... No…! WAIT! *this caught everyone's attention but... It was already late... As toodles mixed both and they fused and clashed and merged before opening into the ground and opening a large portal under them... Producing a sound and energy feeling... The same as that night Poppy, Connie and Astro felt... One Poppy recognized all too quickly and familiarly... The portal*

Poppy: Wait... NOOOOO! WHAT! *she noticed the portal opening underground* EVERYONE GET OUT! PLEASE! RUN! *but as she did they all fell once the portal covered the ground near them... Every toons fell in... and poppy in trying to help jumped in seeing her friends fall* AGH! CAN"T LET Them suffer... Not like I did... *meanwhile everyone else panicked and screamed*

Rodger: Were falling!

they all fell before hitting the ground seeing the world they had fallen in.. Minecraft... The World Poppy had come back from changed and scarred, meanwhile connie? She floats but the portal had tendrils come out and grab her and dragged her in before closing*

Connie: wha…! NOOO! PLEASE I DON"T WANNA GO BACK TO THE REALM OF SOULS!

before being dragged into the portal closing, as everyone ended up in the world poppy had survived...*
