█🕹️👾🎮Chapter 7: Poison░▒▓█

March 29th, 2036, Saturday, 6:55 a.m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now that everyone is still distracted by Winter, it was my turn to shine. I ran out of my hiding spot and threw the bat with all of my might at Drillbit.

BONK!

"Ow!" Drillbit cried out in pain. It was a success! My plan is working smoothly so far! Drillbit lost his grip on my friend who also fell on top of Scrap Metal.

You could even hear SM’s loud, glitchy shriek.

I kept running, running towards Airis. That feared girl.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!" I screamed once I reached her and knowing that we were toast, without stopping, I grabbed her hand or wrist- I'm not sure! It's difficult to tell!- And get the hell out of here!

"C'MON WINTER!" Airis yelled out for him.

Since we were already far away from danger, it was difficult to tell if he heard her or not. Then again, dogs have a sharp sense of hearing, so I'm sure he'll catch up with us... Hopefully.

For quite a while, we both kept on running. We had to run at least as far as possible. This is because we know The Slayers are as nimble as that other character, Crowby. The unfortunate news is that Winter hadn't caught up with us... maybe my plan didn't work exactly as expected...

Prepared for murder.

***

We stopped to catch our breaths after a three-kilometre run... We'd been running like we were in a fundraising marathon! I had my hands on my knees while Airis leaned and placed her hand on a nearby tree. I felt sweat dripping from my forehead as my heart beat so fast that it felt like a thunderbolt supplying me with an immense amount of energy. When there is too much of it, it drains unexpectedly.

It was really impressive that we were able to run this distance, possibly because fear ran through our bodies till it wore out.

"That... was... close!" I huffed heavily, still catching my breath.

"Y-Yeah... but Winter... didn't... come with us..." Airis huffed out.

"I believe he'll... be fine..."

"Be fine...!? He's all alone... with that dangerous group!" She retorted with a snap of her free fingers.

On second thought, I don't want to die.

"This is impossible... They're real..?" I changed the subject right away before she got even angrier.

It's very unpredictable.

I stood up to see her looking stunned and confused at the same time.

"Hang on a minute... You know who they are?"

"Uh, yes!? They're The Slayers from 'War of Time,'. The video game is awesome and I've heard so many positive reviews about it! So of course, I would check it out! And became a wee bit addicted to it since, to be honest, hehe..." I grew hyped over that game, especially when talking about it. Airis has that phase as well but... she's more scared and confused at this moment... I didn't have my full attention to that, thanks to my over-excitement about 'War of Time.' Occasionally, I'm not her 'best friend', but it's not on purpose, more often by accident.

She has known me for as long as we can remember, and she doesn't react to it as much.

"You play 'War of Time'???"

"Uh? Did you not hear what I said? It's the most awesome game ever! Actually, now that I think about it... because it's popular, you would definitely have played it! Right?" There was a moment of silence between the two of us.

Airis expressed to me a strange look.

"Right... Now I know you play WoT. But why didn't you tell me?"

"I guess the topic didn't present itself," I shrugged, because I seriously don't know either.

"Well, in that case, we should friend each other- HEY, wait a dang minute! You changed the topic on purpose!"

"Damn, I thought I would get away with that," I looked dumbfounded at her, at least I tried.

"Don't know what you're talking about, Iris," I chuckled nervously.

"Dude, don't act like I'm stupid! You put my dog in danger!" Now she's getting a little upset but I'm sure I can handle this...

"Yes, yes, I know! I'll admit that. I-It was the only idea I could think of to get you out of there, and I don't have any intention of letting your dog get hurt, h-honest!" Her hazel eyes squint as well as a bit of glare.

"Mhm,"

"I'm serious! Ugh! Look, please don't be mad at me or even kill me! Because I'm positive that Winter will be ok, trust me, I know it," after a competitive staring contest, Airis sighed and her eyes softened.

She then closed them and pinched her nose bridge.

"Ok, ok. I trust you, and I trust that he'll be ok," she released her nose bridge to open up her eyes again, now seemingly annoyed.

"Well, that's great-"

"I will only murder you if we find him dead. I would be prepared to run if I were you," ... This is a bit unlike her.

I can guarantee that. I never heard her threaten so sternly before. What made her kinda like that? Did something happen or what? Nervously, I gulped and moved on.

"What happened when we were gone?" I asked.

For some reason, she becomes anxious and trails off her sentence, right off the bat. That was the fastest mood swing I have ever witnessed.

"Well..." She looked down to the side as she nervously touched her left pigtail, causing me to frown.

I remember crystal clear how scared she was. I understand it, but she had to at least explain what happened so I wouldn't have to be concerned about her.

"Iris," I clutched her shoulder worriedly.

She answered my question and moved her head to face me, gazing dead into my blue eyes. Then she explained everything that happened and her encounter with OTHER characters!

I was astounded to hear this- in fact, my blue eyes widened.

"They know where you live!?" I yelled practically in her face by accident, causing me to take a few steps back, in regret.

God, what is wrong with me? Yet Airis somehow didn't seem too startled by it (obviously she knew it was an accident). I don't know if I should be glad or mad that she didn't tell me all of this until now, but I don't care! It doesn't matter anyway!

"Yes, they know where I live... What's a little more strange is... they didn't come after me when I was at the front of the house with Winter..."

"Well... Yeah... I guess? So how did the group ambush you? Not talking about your place by the way,"

"After I hit Scrap many times until he got angry at me, Drillbit grabbed me from behind... Then the rest of the group joined in..." She took one breath of unsettlement.

"One last thing. What did Slaytrap say to you?" She didn't answer. I can tell she doesn't want to tell me which makes me feel a bit more anxious. There is no way Airis can keep this from me, especially when we're in a bizarre situation. "Iris?" She still didn't answer. I can see it in her hazel eyes, fear. I cannot help but feel frustrated. "Airis. What did he say?" My voice sounded very stern.

As soon as she understood my emotions, she finally responded.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!-

Or couldn't.

We could hear clanking footsteps coming our way. We turned around to see- Oh shit!

"Slaytrap and Ugiz-oz are coming!!"

"If we keep running on the road they'll surely catch up to us... unless," rapidly thinking. I took Airis again and led her into the bushland. The chase continued as we ran. "That should slow them down a bit,"

"I don't think we can lose them!" My crush yelled, frighteningly.

"Don't doubt this! We will!" I let go of Airis' hand so she could go in front of me.

This is because she's clearly wanted, and I didn't want her to accidentally trip. We were running a bit too close to each other.

I looked back to see Slay and Ugiz far behind us. I knew that would wor- Wait, what the hell?

Someone in a green suit with tubes attached to them approaches someone. He knew nothing about the face of the person other than assuming they might be a male figure. Oscar was seeing through someone's eyes, someone who may have been hurt. The figure reached someone who was lying on the ground, seemingly unable to get up. The figure knelt down. The last thing Oscar saw was a wicked smirk formed on the figure's lip and glowing... eyes? Weird glowing pairs of eyes.

...

"What's that all about? What did I just see?" Either it's an illusion or not, but that distracts me instantly! I mean, I completely forgot about everything-

"- LOG!"

"HUH!?!? WHOA!!!" Unexpectedly I tripped over a log, thanks to my brief distraction. "CRUD!"

"OSCAR!" I looked up to see the girl running towards me, then looked back to see the two bots catching up.

"Double shit!" I face up at Airis again to see her kneeling down to grab my arm, however, I stopped her.

"No! Airis! You shouldn't have come for me! You need to keep going!" The dark brown-haired girl just gripped my arm.

Her jaw dropped and wasn't too thrilled about it either.

"WHAT!? ARE YOU CRAZY!? NO! I can't leave you here! You'll get... Slaughtered!" ... I want her safe... I gave her a sad smile.

"Iris... please," I held her wrist and made her release my arm.

She was thinking so hard. She was looking at the bots and then at me about twice.

"But-"

"Airis Gamer, go! Please don't make me repeat, or we're both goners!" Finally! She agreed! Airis nodded unpleasantly and ran off, leaving me behind.

Now I have to deal with them. Just before I was about to get up, Slaytrap jumped over me to chase after Airis.

"You're shitting me!?-"

"OOF!" I was then pinned down by Ugiz-oz (he was pinning my shoulders).

"You must be LeaderSkater, AKA, Oscar Troyquake, correct?" ... I froze...

"How did you-"

"We know who plays. Many people like this pointless game. We see everything,"

"That's just flat-out creepy, man!" I screamed, struggling to break free from his grip.

He's pretty strong for a skinny ass bot.

"It is not our fault that The Creators made a screen for all of us to watch the players... Or that you all can control us. A worthless kid like you won't understand," I growled at his description of me.

I get it he's designed to be depressing and shit, but what the hell is he talking about???

"What is it you want!? Why are you here!? HOW ARE YOU REAL!?"

"Tsk, I can answer only one... Artron needs your pathetic girlfriend," my eyes were wide in a haze as well as mad yet flustered that he called Airis my 'girlfriend'... I mean, yeah, I like her a lot and I do want her to be my girlfriend one day but... C'mon! We're just friends for now! Wait- DID HE SAY ARTRON?!?!?

"Artron is here too!? But... Why would he want a thirteen-year-old girl? My friend, my secret crush??" I became so furious that I grabbed one of Ugiz-zo's arms to push him off.

It nearly worked but thanks to his tentacles from his back (I forgot he had them) he used two of his claw tentacles to pin me back down.

"Sorry, we don't want you to leave to call for help..."

"OH! Don't tell me-" The silver sorrowfully metal robot turned one of his hands into a dart bullet and pointed it at me! "FUUUUUCK!!" I kicked Ugiz's gut, causing him to FINALLY get off of me! Completely! Then I hurriedly got myself up and ran to save Airis.

***

I was looking for her everywhere, but thanks to the trails of broken branches and Slaytrap's footprints... I know where they are... not yet... For some reason, a few minutes ago I felt sick... My head hurt and I felt weak but I kept running through... for twenty minutes.

"Ah!" I groaned in pain till I stopped to hold my gut. Why in God's name FUCK does my stomach suddenly ache?! "E-Eh... I can't stop... now," even though a couple of bricks are tumbling over me. "I must... rescue Airis..."

BANG!

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

"A-Airis!" Still holding my painful stomach I ran to the sound of her incredibly loud scream.

It doesn't sound pleasant at all. Slaytrap must have caught her, damn it!

Just as I arrived, I saw an enormous tree blocking Airis' path. She looked like she was in a state of shock, and Slaytrap had trapped her.

"Shit! Fuck! Shit!" I looked around for something to throw at until my eyes caught a rock and a long tree branch.

That's the only option, I guess.

Picking them up, I threw a grey hard rock at Slay's head and ran around him when he wasn't looking... I didn't think this through...

The strong dark blue leader of the TS turned back around and noticed me.

Me holding a branch in a defensive position in front of my crush.

He smirked sinisterly at me.

"You leave... her alone, Slaytrap!" I scolded him...

"You seem like you're dying," I didn't quite catch that.

"Oscar..." That was Airis.

"Yeah?" I turned my attention to the brown-haired girl, who looked very horrid... I grew even more confused than ever.

"W-What..?"

"I-I-I found this dart stuck to your shoulder..." She held up the dart that she was talking about. I couldn't think properly... Oh waitttttt... "OSCAR! YOU'VE BEEN POISONED BY UGIZ-OZ!!!" Suddenly, out of nowhere, I began coughing so hard that my throat hurt so terribly (possibly bleeding internally inside my throat, yet it's not out of my throat). My legs began to tremble to the rocky ground, roughly. Meanwhile, Airis knelt towards me and placed her creamy skin hand on my forehead. "Oh no! And you're heating up! A-A-And you're looking very pale!" She exclaimed to me.

After coughing, I couldn't say anything. I think coughing made me shut up. Seriously, I couldn't say anything.

A sinister laugh erupts from Slay's lips(?), causing both of us our attention.

"U91Z-0Z did an excellent job at shooting his prey without his victim noticing it or feeling a thing," I glared up at him and grabbed the branch again, getting up slowly... but tumbled back down which made me land on Airis' lap this time. Slay mock furthermore. "Trying to stand up for your friend, LeaderSkater?" Fuck him! "Not so useful to help her now, hehe. Are humans really that weak? I expected rather... differently," randomly, I felt two arms wrapped around my chest.

Straight away I knew it was Airis.

"I don't know why this is happening but this has gotten too far! YOU'RE KILLING MY FRIEND!" Airis screamed in rage.

The leader, of course, doesn't give a shit about her cries and keeps smirking, a heartless smirk.

"I am not the one who poisoned him, Snowy_Sky_Husky," Slay defined as he crossed his arms.

The next thing I know, the fucking dark of armour, octopus Emo dude showed up from the shadows... Well, the sun is already up.

"The others are coming, Slaytrap..." he told him, letting out a 'sad' sigh, even though Slay wasn't looking at him.

The leader nodded but didn't say anything to his teammate... I can't think of a better insult for those bastards!!

"Ugiz-oz does have the cure to help your friend,"- he faced the shorter teammate- "Show them the cure," and ordered him.

Ugiz rolled his eyes.

"Whatever..." and held up a small black bottle that was around his neck.

"... That's the cure? I thought that was just an accessory?"

"Now, if you agree to come with us, we'll help your friend, but if you don't..." The leader took a big step closer causing Airis to clench her grip around me even tighter (kind of hurts.) I can tell for sure she's getting timider than ever. Weakly, I held her hand. I'm surprised that I haven't passed out yet. "We'll take you away from him and leave him to rot and die! So I would suggest you make the decision quickly if I were you. I'm no patient bot,"

"Damn it! I can't believe it! We're... I know Airis too well, she's gonna accept it!" Her head faced down at me while my eyes looked at her, tiredly.

She's giving me the look of 'I don't know what to do.' There's no point... I don't know either...

WHOOSH!

Huh?

"W-Winter!?" Airis gasped in a very surprising and joyful tone.

When I look closer, it is indeed Winter... See? I knew he'd catch up... Although... I don't think he's able to help us...

The white and black-furred dog stood in front of us, protecting us... In an instant, I felt the girl moving back, pulling me along with her.

Then the rest of the group came- Uh oh, my vision is getting blurry!

"No! Not now!" I blinked a few times to see if I could see, but of course, it failed. The world is spinning around me. My eyes feel heavy. I guess this is it... I couldn't do anything about it so I closed my eyes...

Game over, I guess... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
