A man was climbing down a rope as fast as he can. He ignored the yelling between the man that kidnapped him and the three other that saw him running from that hut.
He was just wandering around, where he met a bald bearded man, who invited him back to his home for a few drinks.
The man didn't mind the man, not wanting to pass off free drinks. But when he and the man were on that cliff, the man knocked him out and stuffed him in that bag.
It was then he woke up, tied up, seeing the man handing a knife to a young girl, saying that his daughter won't be weak.
The girl grabbed the knife and walked towards him, only for him to managed to break out of the ropes, pushed the girl to the ground, and ran out of the hut.
He still remember the three men seeing in shock as they saw the man run out of the hut, with the bald man yelling at them to catch him.
They needed to catch Zander Van Sangus.
Zander kept running, until he was hit in the head by a large stick, causing him to fall and get captured by the men.
Zander was slipping in and out, making out the muffled yelling between the three men and the bald guy. Then he passed out.
"Oh god. My head."
Zander woke up to see that he is in the same place he was kidnapped, but there was a balding man with red cheeks looking at him.
"Oh hey. You're awake." The man said.
Zander tried to get up, only to see that he was tied up again, but not that tight.
"Look, I know this is much, but you need to calm down."
"Look man! I'm not looking for trouble! That bald guy promised me some drinks, and just straight up kidnapped me!" Zander said.
The cheeked man just looked at him with a sad expression.
"Oh Brad. What are you doing?"
Zander couldn't help but feel like he isn't like this "Brad".
"Hey. Look, I know we got off of the wrong foot. You don't seem to be on board with whatever that guy has in plan. I'm Zander." Zander introduced himself.
"...Cheeks."
"Cool. But anyway, I need to know. I saw a girl when I was kidnapped here. Was... was she real?"
Cheeks looked back to see if anyone is there, then turn to Zander and nodded.
"Woah. That's something I didn't expect to hear or see."
The two then just sat there, waiting for a couple of minutes, before Cheeks asked Zander something.
"W-were you going to... you know... hurt her?"
"Woah now! I'm not a degenerate! She is way too young! I wasn't planning on hurting her! Besides, I was tied up!" Zander yelled out.
"Oh. That's good to hear. You are lucky enough that I managed to convice the others to let me patch you up. But I'm not sure if the others can trust you." Cheeks said.
Then suddenly, a man climbed down, wearing a pink poncho, and is balding like Cheeks, but his hair is still black
Cheeks turned around to greet him.
"Rick! Where's Sticky? And Buddy?" Cheeks asked.
"They are doing alright. Buddy is with Sticky." Rick said, only to look at Zander.
"Before we do anything, I need to know what you were doing."
"Ok, look. That bald guy promised me some beers if I went with him. I know I shouldn't, but it's hard to find drinks that are free here. So when I went with him, and before I knew it, I got knocked out. When I woke up, I was tied up and saw him handing a knife to the girl, wanting her to plunge it into my neck. I was lucky enough to break out of the ropes and haul ass out of there, until you caught me and brought me back here."
Rick stared at Zander, before becoming sad by what he said.
"I... I am so sorry about what Brad did. We never expected him to do this." Rick said.
"Look. I know you guys had nothing to do with this. Just let me out, and I won't talk about this. I promise." Zander said.
The two men looked at each other, then at Zander.
"Let us talk to our friend first, then we'll decide."
The two men then left the room, leaving Zander alone.
"Damn. What a day I had."
Zander thinks it would take a while, so for the time being, he took a proper nap.
A few hours passed, and Zander was sleeping on the floor until he was suddenly awakened by the ground shaking.
As he opened his eyes, he heard something landed next to him.
He turned around to see that it was the knife.
The knife that was meant to be his end.
Zander then had to make a tough decision, whether he should take the knife and run for it, or stay and wait.
Zander decided to risk it and crawl towards the knife.
Grabbing it with his free hand, he slowly begins to cut the ropes as fast as he can.
"Come on. Come on."
After a short while, the ropes became loose after cutting through, and Zander slipped out of it.
"Oh thank god." Zander said as he began to stretch.
He then reached for his head, and feel that it was wrapped in banadages, to recover from Brad's attack.
He then removed the bandages and felt that it was healed.
With that, Zander climbed out of the room he was in, and out of the hut.
What he saw was an absolute bloodbath.
Bodies were strewed everywhere, but it wasn't just men.
There were some weird piles of some weird black substance that smelled a bit foul.
He then heard coughing and turned to see Cheeks sitting down, with a large wound in his chest.
"Dude! What happened?!" Zander said as he rushed over to Cheeks.
"M-men came here. Looking for you, but found us. But then... one of them... he... then Brad... all gone... by falling... in that... hole." Cheeks said with whatever strength he had left pointing in front before taking his last breath.
Zander just looked at him, where he saw Cheeks's hand pointing at something.
He turned to see that he was pointing at a hole in the floor.
Zander walked up to the hole, only to see nothing but darkness inside of it.
He had never seen anything like this, but now what?
Just as he turned around, he saw that something was coming out of Cheeks's body.
It was the same black substance, but it was changing to the body, causing it to break the bones in the body forcing the face to make a toothless smile and having its eyes become white.
His arms and legs were then replaced by black tendrils, with extras coming from his back.
The creature looked at Zander, and they just stared for a while.
Then the creature let out a scream, all while smiling, and ran towards Zander.
Zander screamed in fear, and without thinking jumped into the hole, causing the creature to jump in too.
As Zander fell, he opened his eyes to see that he was in some sort of space, where unlimited stars were around him, all while falling.
He was then pulled in by something, and he fell towards one of the stars.
Zander screamed and closed his eyes, just as he fell through.
He landed roughly on the ground, groaning in pain.
He got up and looked around to see that he was in a completely different place.
He was in a studio, with people, including children and women staring at him.
Zander turned to see something he didn't expect.
There was a limbless creature in a suit, next to a frog creature on what appeared to be an electric chair.
"Um... hi?"
Just then, the creature fell behind Zander and let out a roar, causing the audience to panic.
"And to think, I wanted a free drink," Zander said.
End of Chapter 1.
I hope you guys like this fanfic.
If you don't know who this Zander is, he is the guy who got dragged by Brad and was killed by Buddy. His name is from Undone, so I'm not sure what his real name is in Joyful, so I'm using this as his true name.
This takes place when Buddy kills him, but instead of dying, he escapes.
Now that he escaped his fate, he would now end up on a journey that he never expected to be in.
It's like the other Pibby fanfic I've made.
But in this story, there is no Pibby, no finding a way to defeat the darkness, and no being a hero.
It's just trying to survive and traveling.
What would happen to him? You will find out.
Also, I do not own Lisa the Undone, Lisa the Joyful, Learning with Pibby, or anything else that I would write in this fanfic.
Other than that, enjoy.
