Steve Saga Meets Rainbow Quest

Chapter Four Infection

It had been a few hours since Elan had started walking. Elan had felt weak from his eye losing so much blood, and from the darkness taking over, Elan had never been strong against infections. He couldn't fight against it and the player felt anger, fear, and sadness from it. He then passed out from it.

Elan soon woke up everything around him looked normal but something felt off. He felt by his eye but it was dry. There was a scar from it which he could feel but it was not open, but he couldn't see from it.

"Had it healed already?" The player questioned.

"I see you finally are up," Elan had heard behind him. He knew the voice by heart somehow. Elan turned around.

His body bowed down even though he didn't move it himself, but he did.

"Yes sir?" Elan said, he felt in control but at the same time not.

"You may stand up." Elan's master said and Elan Stood up looking directly at Dark Steve not showing any fear.

"What do you need?" Elan asked.

"I need you to kill Rainbow Steve," Dark Steve ordered.

"N-Yes, sir," Elan answered trying to fight back but he couldn't.

"Seems like your trying to fight back but the thing is you can't, your body is too weak to fight it off," Dark Steve said, "now go do your task."

Dark Steve disappeared and Elan started to walk back. He couldn't stop himself. It was like his brain just blanked out and all he could do was see.

A few hours later it started to get dark and Elan could hear Rainbow Steve nearby.

"Where did he go! I didn't mean for him to go away. . . I just was upset," Rainbow Steve said.

"Hey it's okay we'll find Elan soon enough and I'm sure he isn't gone yet," Sabre said, the only way Elan knew this was Sabre was because he has gotten close enough and is now waiting for Rainbow back to be turned.

Soon enough Rainbow did turn around and Elan went at him. Wrapping his arm around Rainbow Steves neck in a chokehold.

Elan could hear the desperation in Rainbows breathing but couldn't stop himself.

"Oh, fudge!" Elan could hear Sabre yell.

Sabre then got out a wooden sword he made and had no choice but to stab Elan on the side where it would not kill him but make him back off.

"Agh-" Elan let go of Rainbow Steve who fell forward gasping for air and Elan back up and put his hand on the wound.

The sword had cut through his suit and it was bleeding. When Elan looked up he saw Sabre holding his sword at Elan.

Sabre had looked scared not wanting to hurt Elan again, but at the same time, he didn't want Rainbow Steve to get hurt.

"Move out of the way Sabre," Elan said.

"No. No. No. Elan I understand you're infected but you have to fight it," Sabre said.

"I-I c-can-t" Elan was trying his best to speak but that's all he could do, Elan could feel himself drifting away.

Rainbow Steve stood up and looked at Elan. It looks like he was about to cry.

Elan was still he couldn't move. Seeing his best friend upset, upset him. Elan could feel the tears drip down from his eyes but he had made no noise.

"Elan. . . Can you please tell us what to do, I know you're still there." Rainbow Steve said and Elan tried to speak again.

"M-mach-" That's all he could say but Rainbow Steve understood what he was trying to say.

Rainbow Steve was about to go get some materials he at least understood to get but lightning was striking next to Elan, and someone had appeared.

"I see that you are not able to complete your task even though you're infected, the bond between you and Rainbow Steve have is more than I thought," Dark Steve said.

"Dark Steve let him go!" Rainbow Steve yelled.

"No, he made a deal with me," Dark Steve said.

"Now I will be taking my servant with me so I can figure a plan with him," Dark Steve said.

"N-no-" Elan tried to say but it came out in a weak whisper.

"He is not your servant!" Sabre yelled.

"Oh well to bad!" Dark Steve said as lightning started to strike on the two and they both disapeared.
