She Didn't Let Go

11

No amount of words can express how I feel rn. It took me so long to figure out how I was going to end this. Mostly because it has been hard. Life's a rollercoaster and when you're on it, shit gets kinda crazy 😂

But you all have been so kind and so patient I can't thank you enough. You all mean a lot to me. And as a thank you...

Here's the chapter you've been waiting for.

Enjoy 😁

For the record if you wonder what Corruption feels like when it's smacking you in the face at 70 miles per hour, imagine that moment in PE when the dodgeball said hello to your nose and then make it ten times worse by having the ball full of concrete.

Iv spent the last five minutes trying to get closer to the Corruption and failing. By the sounds of it and the way Taylor just got K.O'ed two feet from me, we were going about this all wrong.

"We..need a new plan." I mumbled wobbling to my feet. Six was too busy running right back up to the blob of sadness to listen but Taylor scoffed next to me.

"Ya think?!" He ducked as Six sailed over his head and crashed into me. We landed in a heap and she groned.

"Ok this obviously isn't working." I sat up gripping my hammer and getting to my feet holding out a hand for Six. She too it and looked at me. Taylor looked at me. And the depression goop kinda waited watching us as its tenticals dancing a jig around it's TV's-...wait a second. TV'S!

"I know what to do."

Seven had never felt so free. It was odd in many ways but as he and his companions rushed into battle he felt light as air. Maybe it was because he had lived in fear for so long, he had to hide for so many years, but now that was over. Now there was a change and he was part of it.

Jumping up he avoided getting nocked down as the long clawed arm of one of the Corruptids swooped along the ground. Stabbing his blade into the arm of the monster he stuck it to the ground and leaped away. He had forgotten that the monstrosities could glitch but  he remembered quickly when he was smacked to the side. Tumbling head over heels he hit the wall of a broken building barely standing to his feet before he had to jump out of the way of a giant fist.

Putting some distance between himself and his assailant he scanned the now chaotic background. What was he going to do?. All of his capable fighters were busy with only one of the Corruptids, and the others had retreated a bit trying to protect each other. Ok...what would Mono do? He...he would...well he would definitely glitch his way up to the weak spot no problem, however Seven couldn't do that...but he could swim..

Good thing I don't get motion sickness, because the amount of movement I was getting put through was making me dizzy. My plan had originally been to use the TV's to warp from eye to eye on the Corruption till I managed to reach its center. But now my plan was to keep from barfing well simultaneously keeping my grip on it's slick skin. Imagine silly putty? Ok now make it really wet, cold, and even slimier. Corruption feels gross as hell.

Angling myself I let go and fell. My feet hit the TV below me and I quickly warped through and out the screen of another on the other side of the monster.
I swear I'm going to go deaf from the amount of screaming this thing did. Landing on another of it's eyes I brought my hammer down and crushed it. As it had done a few times before it cried out in pain causing the tower to shake and tremble. I attempted to jump away from one of it's many tentacles when I slipped. Loosing my footing I started falling.

Taylor and Six where too busy with tenticals of their own to notice it grab me. I dropped my hammer and I couldn't move. I attempted to glitch out of it's grasp but I failed. Then it opened it's mouth. It's giant gaping maw filled with rows and rows of slimy teeth greeted me. And the smell.... stomach turning.
