(OLD, READ DESC) Goodbye Guests | ✔

Twelve

Johnny had found himself standing in a black void, a void drought of life. He didn't know where he was, nor his friends.

"Kodeloot! Guest! Where are you?"

No answer.

"Hello is anyone here?" Johnny called out into the darkness. "Mom? Dad?"

Still no answer.

It's ok Johnny. Johnny thought. It's just a dream, no one can hurt you.

His Rainbow Hatbot then gave off a white glow, lighting Johnny's way.

"Phew. I forgot about that." Johnny then smiled, a wave of relief washing over him, knowing that if there's any sinister entity lurking in the shadows, his hatbot can protect him.

Then the void faded away, revealing the Roblox HQ, but it wasn't the state that Johnny remembered. Instead, the Roblox Headquarters is in ruins, as well as everything around it. Parts of the HQ was on fire, and the grass and trees are shriveled up and dead. The sky was in a shade of dark red. The only thing that remained was a large computer of some sort, still functional. Johnny then heard footsteps, he turned around seeing a dark black figure, wearing a black tragedy mask and a Void Star Crown. Through his mask Johnny can see white glowing eyes. Fear stuck Johnny to his very core. Who was this figure? He couldn't move or feel anything. Just numbness. He didn't even know fear can do that. Behind the figure stood a numerous amounts of shadow creatures. As Johnny observed his surroundings, he became mortified, there were robloxians laying on the ground, not moving. He saw Builderman slowly crawling towards the figure as the figure came closer and closer to the computer. He saw multiple robloxians fighting against the creatures. He saw a glimpse of Shedletsky and BrightEyes, unconscious. Then he saw....himself?

There was no doubt about it. It's clearly him, what other noob owns a rainbow hatbot? He saw himself lying on the ground, weak, vulnerable, defeated, as he saw the chaos around him. He saw his friends too, all of them. He can clearly see Kodeloot all beaten up, suffering critical injuries, and a black eye along with it. Then he saw the great Erik Cassel himself but Johnny couldn't believe his eyes. A black spear was lodged though his torso, blood spilling everywhere, clearly dead. Admins were either fighting the shadow creatures or unconscious. There was two guests who was also after the black figure, all broken and bruised.

What was this? What dream was this?

This all felt too real. The figure then turned around slowly and let out a demonic laugh. "Foolish robloxians, did you really think you can ban me again?"

Builderman stood up triumphantly, despite the fact that he's clearly too injured to fight. "I won't stop until I destroy you again! You took away Erik, now I will kill you!" Builderman yelled towards the figure, tears streaming down his face.

Builderman took out a sword and lunges towards the figure. He swung down, slashing the figure on his right arm, creating a fresh wound. Black inky blood dropped onto the ground. The figure didn't react to this. The black figure healed himself and threw Builderman a couple feet away, as if he was a mere rag-doll.

The black figure gave an evil smile. "Look around you Builderman, your comrades are all defeated, your headquarters is in ruins, and I'm now in control of the Master Computer. This world is mine."

While the figure was typing on the Master Computer, a look of horror appeared on Builderman's face, now realizing that it's too late.

"NOO!!!"

Builderman's screams immediately faded after Johnny sprang up from bed, panting. Drenched in cold sweat, Johnny wiped it off with his blanket. Somehow that scream didn't came from Builderman in his dream, instead it came from downstairs. Sounded almost feminine. Johnny then realized that it was his mom who screamed. Peeking outside his door, he noticed his mother crying on the couch, with his dad on her side, comforting her.

"Perhaps the media is spreading misinformation. There can't be a way for them to just...disappear." John Doe spoke in his most calmest tone he can muster.

"S-some of my only f-f-friends are g-guests."Jane Doe stuttered through tears.

On the TV, Johnny noticed the channel switched to the News channel, KonekoKitten present on screen, wearing his usual Happy Time Magic Flower hat.

"Fellas, we don't know what could have caused this but our investigators are on it." KonekoKitten explained. "This is KonekoKitten signing off."

A commercial for McBricks was now playing on the TV. Jane Doe continued sobbing, believing in whatever happened. What happened? John Doe had a look of sorrow on his face. Why was everyone like this?

"Mom? Dad?" Johnny walked downstairs, meeting with his parents. "What's going on?"

"Johnny!" Jane caught her attention to her son. "What are you doing up? It's a school night."

"I heard you scream. It sorta woke me up." Johnny rocked back and forth on his feet.

"Oh." Jane looked down. "Well..."

"Honey, let me explain." John Doe cleared his throat. "Ok so...something bad...happened."

"What happened?" Johnny asked, his tone slightly eager.

John Doe paused. He needed to find a way to break it to him, without upsetting him. Since Noobs are the closest to Guests, it wouldn't be surprising if they were upset, even furious at this. But John knows that his son is in high school now, almost an adult. He took a deep breath.

"Son, the guests have..." John's face was neutral, emotionless, serious.

Johnny knew this wasn't good news. His heart was beating a light speed, worried on what happened to the guests. Then one thought lead to another and another before realizing that something might have happened to his guest friend.

"Have what?" Johnny urged. "What happened to them?"

"...disappeared."

The world spun. Johnny couldn't feel or see anything clearly. This can't be possible! It can't be! How? When? Why? The hatbot noob stood there, sinking reality in, questioning if this was some sick joke. By the looks of this parents, Johnny knew this can't be a joke. How can a whole species just disappear? He doesn't know what to feel. Upset? Anger? Sorrow? Grief? Johnny had just made a new friend, just for that to be taken away from him. His vision blurred, feeling moisture on his cheeks. Johnny touched his face, realizing that it was tears.

John and Jane Doe looked at Johnny with a sad sympathetic look. Then, almost as if they were thinking the same thing, all three noobs slowly came in for a hug. Despite all of the horrible events happening, they were still a family. A strong one.
