That's all I have to say.

CW//Cussing (Big Q)

Percy felt Annabeth pressing against him. (Ranboo and Bob are third wheels lol) They've entered some sort of forest. Towering black trees soared into the gloom. They were perfectly round and bare of branches, like monstrous hair follicles. The ground was smooth and pale.

Suddenly Annabeth stopped. She rested her hand on the trunk of the nearest tree.

"What is it?" Percy asked, alarmed. He raised Riptide and prepared to defend his friends. He would protect them no matter what.

Ranboo seemed nervous now. "Huh? Is-is there something here?" He seemed a bit ashamed to not have noticed, but Percy didn't notice anything until Annabeth stopped either.

Bob looked back, confused, "We are stopping?"

Annabeth held a hand up for silence. She looked up into the trees and Percy followed her gaze. Nothing looks different. Percy still felt like something is wrong, though.

A few yards away, a tree shuddered. Many branches started quivering.

The Furies?! Percy wondered as a demonic winged lady appeared. Then even more came. Soon the group was all surrounded. They couldn't be Furies. Furies carried whips, and there were only three of them. Percy gripped his sword tighter. Ranboo made an enderman noise and his claws extended as he morphed into enderman form.

"What are you?!" Annabeth demanded.

The arai, Hissed a voice. The curses!

Percy couldn't locate a speaker. None of the demons had moved their mouths. Their expressions were frozen and their eyes were lifeless.

The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. "What-what do you want?" Annabeth tried to sound confident.

The voice cackled maliciously. To curse you, of course! To destroy you a thousand times in the name of Mother Night!

"Only a thousand times?" Percy murmured sarcastically, "Oh, good... I thought we were in trouble."

The circle of demon ladies closed in.

(Line Break)

Bad could barely move. His whole body hurt and he had the overwhelming urge to kill himself. The pain — mostly emotionally — left no space for his brain to function. The only thoughts going in his are death, betrayal, egg, Skeppy, Tommy, death, betrayal, egg, Skeppy, Tommy...

The demon's breathing quickened. Death, betrayal, egg, Skeppy, Tommy-

He gasped and shot up from the ground. No no no no stop! Bad felt new and free all of a sudden. His head cleared. Oh my Mojang what just happened there? What are arais? And Skeppy-

Bad froze. Skeppy is still red. He looked down on himself. His clothes were red and black again. Not white.

I'm too far from the egg for it to influence me. Bad realized and smiled. I'm free!

The things he did under the egg's influence came rushing back to him. How he had exposed himself to the egg so he could be with Skeppy again. Oh... right.

But I was never supposed to be corrupted by the egg. The egg was just a way for the Badlands to rise. We've been belittled from the very start. The plans to become villains and continue the war... keeping the egg.... it was all for the Badlands's rise to glory. Bad gulped as more memories came flooding into his mind. The egg... it's so powerful. Way too powerful. I hurt so many people. Sam... I was even planning to kill Puffy!
