I'm speechless. Like....you guys are such beautiful people (yes even the potatoes in the back) I love you guys! It's taken me a while to get this out I know but there's reasons.

(I had caught our favorite friend good ol Covidddddddddddd and it nocked me back a whole month and some in school so iv been working hard to catch up T-T)

But anyways it's here now. And being amazed by y'all iv decided to keep it going a bit longer so here you go!

Enjoy 😃

"So you mean to tell me you're the Thin Man?" Seven looked at me confused. We all sat together in the near empty canteen. I told them about what had happened in the Tower when I was there. Leaving out some details....for reasons.

"Something like that...there was a time loop that I managed to break free from and now things are falling apart..."

I looked at them. I knew that this was it. We had to leave this city and soon. They had told me of their plan and what they'd went through to get back to me again. Taylor also told me of his plan to destroy the Tower.

"I have a feeling we could kill the Corruption and that if we do we could destroy the Tower completely." He explained.

"But how? The whole city is controlled by that thing."

Six spoke up from her spot next to me. "Mono Taylor managed to open the doors to the Tower, His powers seem a lot more like the Corruptions than yours."

"So...what does this mean? We just battle the Corruption and hope to win?" I asked sitting back in my seat. "Doesn't sound like a solid plan...."

"But not impossible." Four leaned on his elbows in the table with a gleem in his eyes. "You saw the way I hit it's eye! That's definitely it's weakness!"

"Maybe if Taylor can distract it long enough I can glitch closer and take it out."

"Can you control it? Your glitching?" Six asked. "You did keep us from slamming the ground before."

"I think so..I mean that was kinda me panicking but I probably can-"

I was interrupted by a loud splash and clanging sound. We all looked at each other before rushing to the sound. We made it to the Eastern sewer entrance and found a giant group of Viewers. Their long arms reached through the spaces in the grate and they screamed making the tunnels echo.

"How did they find us?!" Four shouted against the clanging of the metal.

"Look-!" Six pointed to the hinges on the grate that were starting to give way from all the pressure. I started backing up knowing what was coming.

"Guys...guys get back!"

Then the grate popped open and they came flooding in, tumbling over one another like cereal when you poor it into a bowl. Why I used that description don't ask I'm hungry. Anyways-

We took off sprinting down the tunnel. I wasn't even hurting at that point. The sounds behind me scared me more than my body was hurting at the moment and I ran next to Six, catching her arm when she stumbled and pulled her along. We passed through the door Taylor slammed it shut behind us closing the latch. Seconds later the door shook with the force of body's colliding with it.

Breathing hard and in shock we stood there for a moment.

"We have to move." Seven said already heading down the hall. "It's not safe here anymore."

"Where do we go? There's nowhere else!" Two followed close behind and we trailed after the both of them. Their conversation was lost to me as my thoughts took over. Somehow I knew the Corruption was following me. Maybe when it was draining me during my stay it gained enough power to broadcast a new signal and send the viewers after me. I led them right too my friends...my family... Taylor was right.
