#Bad Ending Future Au

[thatninjacat27]

DAY 3: MUZZLED

I thought I was never writing any else involving the Bad Ending Future.

Could be read alone but if you read the Bad Ending Future Au Details then you’ll understand much better.

Nine was in his cell lying on his bed. The Chaos Council had captured him a few months ago and he had been forced to work for them. The fox had built all sorts of machinery to help conquer other dimensions and had to collaborate with the scientists.

Today, he said something about the terrible design they made for a new idea of a robot and instead of getting his usual electric shock, they put a muzzle on him. Clearly, the council had begun think in the long term and chose a much less life threatening way of controlling him. 

They sent him back to his room or rather his nice cell, after work hours, still wearing the muzzle. From his cell door, Nine heard strange noises. The fox got up to look through the bars.

“Nine, I’m here to break you out bro!”, The blue hedgehog yelled as he blocked the door with nearby items and debris from the previous fights that had occurred in the area that the Chaos Council hadn’t bother to clean up yet. 

“I’m sorry I didn’t get here sooner. Been a bit busy in the other dimensions.“, Sonic said as he typed out every possible combination he knew. “And I managed to get the Rebellion to help me get you out.” Finally, the keypad gave the green light and the cell doors unlocked.

Nine walked out. “Alright so here’s the— What are you wearing on your face?”, Sonic asked as he finally took a good look at his brother’s doppelgänger. Nine stared at him because that was a very dumb question and he obviously couldn’t speak. He hoped that the look he gave him was enough to convey his feelings on the subjects.

“Can’t talk huh?”, Sonic said as he got the message from the look. “Here, let me get this off you.” Sonic went behind Nine and messed with the adjustments of the muzzle. “Should have figured that you couldn’t talk. You didn’t give me any audio responses so…”, the blue hedgehog trailed off.

He then managed to get of the muzzle and threw it across the room. It landed with a thud. ”I can’t believe that they muzzled you.”, Sonic said incredulously.

“Well the Council didn’t like how I criticized their plans and robot designs. And they thought it’d be better for my health than electrocution every time I ran my mouth.”, Nine stated neatly as he looked down to mess with his gloves.

When he looked back up, Sonic looked angry. The blue hedgehog grabbed the fox’s shoulder and said, ”I’m not going to let this happen again, Nine. I swear it.”

Nine slowly pushed the hands aside. “Sure, because you’ve been so good at keeping your promises as of late.”, Nine sarcastically replied. “You’ll only abandon me when it’s convenient.”

“No, Nine, I would never do that willingly.”, Sonic tried to tell Nine. “I’m always here for you and what’s best.” 

“Then why couldn’t we have stayed at The Grim when we could have then?”, Nine cut off whatever Sonic could say next. “Hmm? That’s what was best for us. Why deal with all this bullshit that doesn’t even matter?”

“Nine, it does matter. These people, our friends, they do matter.”, the blue hedgehog tried to explain in a gentle voice and tone. It just made Nine feel more pissed of then he was. 

“Matter? Don’t talk to me about what matters because clearly I don’t!”, Nine yelled at the blue hedgehog. The fox pushed him back. “You left me behind after what happened in New Yoke City.”

Sonic’s ears drooped. He could hear the anger and frustration coming from the young fox.

“And you can try and justify that I do matter because this “rescue mission”, but don’t forget that I would have never been in this situation had you stayed with me instead of insisting on trying so hard to fix what’s already too broken.”, then Nine crossed his arms and turned away from the blue hedgehog.

“Nine I—“, Sonic got interrupted by sirens going off. The security alarms rang and the robots began to bang on the outside doors. The barricade would not hold out for much longer.

“Dang it.”, Sonic cursed. “We need to go,” A robot arm punch through the walls. “Now!”

“Come on, Nine! We’ll continue this later.”, the blue hedgehog said as he extended his hand towards the fox. 

Nine reluctantly took Sonic’s hand. He was going to make that later happen much sooner if the gun concealed under his shirt had anything to do about it. And Sonic was going to say yes to staying with him this time.

Finding Home Part 6!!

They really left Leo alone in a room and thought he'd stay there, didn't they?

How much trouble do y'all think Leo will find on the surface? Alone... Without his swords... In a completely new place?

me: don't think about it

me: Charlie going to the demon over lords like "hey look! heaven attacked and we fought and (mostly) didn't die and a sinner got yeeted up to heaven! Will you please support my (newly rebuilt) hotel now??"

(most) demon over lords looking at charlie like: shit the second most powerful person currently in hell, who was BORN with that power, is trying to fuck up the power that WE clawed our way to the top of (she's ruining it by giving sinners hope) (meaning they won't be so eager to sell themselves off to bigger demons) (meaning bigger demons will have less power) (if she has it her way they'll be fewer sinners at ALL) (which won't work) (bc this is all still Stupid) (BUT) (if the people of hell start thinking they have a chance...) AND she wants us to stick OUR necks on the line in the fight against heaven (who don't traditionally go after her or her family anyway but love hunting US) now she's also got her dad actively backing her up, so we can't just say a flat "no" or try fighting her over it, especially not since she's shown herself to be not so lame after all.... we need a way to get all of hell doubting and mistrusting her, so they don't go to her hotel thing instead of to us... but what can we use against her? what weak spot does she h-

over lords, looking over at charlie's girlfriend vaggie, and her newly returned, never-before mentioned angel wings: ......Hmmm...

charlie: trying to explain that her gf WAS an exorcist yes ok, and sure she DID kill lots of sinners but- No charlie didn't know that when they started dating but they've worked through it and vaggie- look she fought on hell's side during the hotel battle she was right there with charlie up in heaven advocating for sinners getting a second chance-

What? Yeah she, she went back to heaven that one time. No I guess she's not banished exactly, they just tore off her wings and left her to die here after she- NO she does NOT want to go back- yes ok she COULD but she doesn't WANT to, the hotel is her home now and- look she almost died fighting for it-

it wasn't a LIE, she just, she was scared and didn't tell the truth! What do you mean "can't trust your judgment"? I know her and I knew she'd have my back and she DID, the whole POINT of the hotel, which WORKS by the way, is that people can change-

NO SHE ISN'T SPYING ON US FOR HEAVEN! she hates them! no I'm not "just" saying that because "she said so" I can TELL we've been together for THREE YEARS- YES FINE SHE WAS HIDING SOMETHING FROM ME ALL THAT TIME OKAY but look at what she's done and been DOING! Yes, thank you Caramilla- she got her wings back and used them to fight for- she- WHAT?! NO! She's the hotel manager- she's OUR hotel's manager- she can't leave, that's- wh- fire her? It's her HOME! I'm her partner not her boss!! No I'm not listening to this! This is stupid- the whole hotel wouldn't even BE a thing if I hadn't MET her and it wouldn't work without her! I-

vaggie: I'll go vaggie: charlie's being modest. she's got things covered here vaggie: I'll be hell's spy in heaven, if it'll help. IF you all support the hotel.

and the overlords smile and promise-

(of course of course they will, really, it's nothing against her just a little PR issue, a matter of building trust, so naturally she'll report only to them yes? she and charlie will make a little deal not to contact each other otherwise? they're just worried, you see, wouldn't want an angel taking advantage of the princess of hell's confidence again, so glad she understands)

-nice and sharp and already watching eagerly as charlie's newfound backbone crumples while she stares at vaggie, wordless again just like up in heaven, and doesn't react when vaggie takes her hand and gives her a pleading look-

back at the hotel, alone, vaggie is swapping out her hotel vest for the clothes she was in when they met, wrinkled and crammed at the bottom of drawer, while charlie sits on their bed refusing to watch. vaggie doesn't pack for heaven. she walks over with just her spear and holds it out- here. she'll feel better, about being away, if charlie keeps this with her. charlie doesn't take it. charlie doesn't answer. charlie's crying and she latches on tight when vaggie drops the spear to hug her. she should've been able to stop this- she can't keep the hotel running on her- she doesn't WANT to TRY doing this alone-

she won't be. vaggie reminders her, lucifer and the others are all here, charlie isn't alone anymore. she's got the hotel. she's GOT this. and vaggie will come back

but she's tired of being scared and she's not gonna risk both their dream because of it. not again.

so, vaggie goes to heaven, supposedly to help sir pentious settle into his new life up there, with the help of emily to smooth things over and the fact that adam and lute swept her under the rug instead of making her fall an official thing- and considering the circumstances, emily argues, they were in the wrong anyway, especially now a sinner HAS been redeemed

meanwhile charlie stays in hell, at the hotel, without her.

and she's short tempered with worry, impatient with the everyday problems of the hotel- vaggie up in heaven with LUTE the woman who ripped out her eye ripped off her wings tried to kill her- all because charlie couldn't convince the overlords- couldn't convince (wasn't enough to convince?) vaggie to STAY- and,

the other's notice, notice that asking how things are NOW is too raw but asking about the past is easier, lighter, get's charlie lost in memory instead of on of her worry spirals, and there's flashbacks of them getting together- there's vaggie up in heaven quiet and listless as she shadows sir pentious around keeping lute at bay and he looks over at her nervously, he brings up how much he misses cherri, and how he could use a few relationship tips for when she (surely) eventually ends up here too-

charlie and vaggie, both of them apart in the present, neither of them okay, maybe vaggie's snooping up in heaven leads her to lilith and gets her in trouble- maybe charlie makes deals she regrets down in hell trying to keep things going without her- but we see them in the past, together, and them pulling on those memories now, trying to get back to each other again

or something like that.

I like to think in the P.E au that Anya and Curly specifically get haunted hard by Jimmy's weird reality crossing guilt manifested.

It's targeting them because Jimmy's guilt grows more around them. The idea of him acting and playing nice despite what he did. It's like a buffet that allows it to pick from their plates.

Anya sees this stagnant version of her, blood from her mouth, clutching her stomach with a bottle of pills in her other hand. She's talking about not being heard, a pixel, relief from a burden. She tries to ask a question and it's never the right one. She's not understanding but in a way, she's getting that this version of her is in pain. She tries to help, extends a hand and asks how she can help, stop it. She stares and there's utter despair and disappointment in her eyes.

What did you do?

Curly sees this burnt mangled thing. But he can't call it that. Even with no skin and chipping teeth, covered in sullied bandages and smelling of death overdue, he can see his face. He can recognized that eye, he stares at it a lot in the mirror, usually a second one is attached but he digresses. They are just watching, staring and unmoving. He asks himself what happened, how can he help and his own retched mangled voice comes out from a empty maw.

I told you.

They have no idea what it really means. They don't know who to tell. Flashes of a life they don't know or maybe a future they haven't lived yet. Perhaps they treat it as their own minds trying to tell them something. They bare that burden themselves and that alone makes it heavier. Plumper. More appetizing to the guilt causing it.

Tragically that guilt is not their own.

I’ve been thinking about BENT all day. Specifically a scenario where Don gets hurt in a place he can’t repair himself? Like a wire gets knocked loose in his central processing unit and he has to write down the instructions for his own brain surgery and hope they were clear enough for his brothers to understand? Can you imagine the amount of trust that would take? The weight of responsibility on whoever was doing it? And that’s the best case scenario where he’s conscious to know what’s wrong and how to fix it!

Luckily, between the thee of them I think they’d have his back. Although it wouldn’t be a smooth process
