Dream SMP Fanfiction: The Egg and Red Skeppy

Story

Bad stands before the obsidian covered Egg in horror. Now that his mind is cleared of the Egg's influence he realizes what his best friend has done. Skeppy is now trapped on the inside of the obsidian. Panicking Bad turns to Ant and Puffy, "We have to get him out of there!"

"But how?!" Puffy asks, "We can't just break the obsidian or we'll be affected again!"

"Puffy's right, Bad," Ant agrees, "We need to make a plan so that we don't get affected again."

Bad looks at them then back at the Egg worriedly, "But we don't know if Skeppy is even okay in there!"

"Bad you need to calm down, if we act irrationally we could put ourselves AND Skeppy in further danger," Puffy puts a hand on Bad's shoulder.

Bad looks at her before nodding a little, "R-right.... But we have to think of something fast before something happens to Skeppy."

Ant and Puffy nod and the three leave the cave, but Bad looks back and murmurs, "Don't worry Skeppy, I'll get you out of there."

That night they still hadn't thought of anything and even though the other two insisted he needed sleep Bad couldn't. He finally grabs his pickaxe from his chest and runs back down to the cave. He manages to break some of the obsidian and get a hold of Skeppy's hoodie. Fighting with all his might against the influence of the Egg he manages to pull Skeppy out and replace the obsidian. Skeppy slumps against Bad and that's when Bad notices that Skeppy's usually blue hoodie is now a dark red, the same color as the Egg. "Skeppy?" he asks shakily.

Skeppy stands up on his own and looks at Bad, "Yes?" Bad instantly gets worried, Skeppy never responds in such an emotionless way nor in such short sentences.

"Are you okay?" Bad asks, his eyes trailing over Skeppy's now red clothes, and realizes even his eyes have turned red.

"I feel euphoric," Skeppy replies, still emotionless.

Pounding footsteps are heard before Ant and Puffy sprint up behind them. "Bad what did you—" Ant cuts himself off when he sees Red Skeppy, "Skeppy?! He got you out!?"

Red Skeppy looks at them with a blank expression, "Yes... I am out..."

Puffy looks from Red Skeppy to Bad and whispers, "What happened to him?"

Bad looks at her, "I... I don't know."

Puffy looks at Bad, "Are you okay?"

Bad looks from where Ant is trying to talk to Red Skeppy to her, "T-that isn't Skeppy... at least... not our Skeppy."

Puffy hugs him, "It'll be okay, Bad, we'll figure it out, we'll help him."

"Hey!" Ant's sudden shout makes them both turn their heads. Red Skeppy had beelined for the Egg.

"Skeppy, no!" Bad shouts and tries to grab Red Skeppy by his hoodie. They fail to grab him but thankfully he's unable to break the obsidian before they pull him away again.

"I want to be with the Egg!" Red Skeppy yells in a demanding tone.

"Skeppy, no, the Egg is bad!" Bad exclaims.

Red Skeppy continues to struggle against them and finally manages to grab Bad's pickaxe from his belt. He manages to get his arm away from them and break some of the obsidian surrounding the Egg. "No!" Puffy yelps and tries to replace the blocks while Ant and Bad try to stop Red Skeppy.

Before she can, a Blood Vine crawls out of the crack in the obsidian that Red Skeppy had made and wraps around her wrist, making her shriek. "Puffy!" Ant draws his sword and cuts the Blood Vine. Ant letting go allows Red Skeppy to break away from Bad and approach the vine which wraps almost lovingly around him.
