A different figure enters solitary a few moments later, a bright blue hoodie once again covering the diamonds.

"Halo...Which one?" Fundy says softly, empathy laced through his voice and sketched across his features.

"S-2826." I walk forward and place my hand on his shoulder, offering a small smile.

"Well.. Since this is how you are now, I don't think Halo is such a fitting nickname anymore," I say as I laugh slightly, trying to lighten the mood.

"He looks like a bad boy now," Fundy laughs out. A small laugh escapes Halo's lips and I see Skeppy smile.

"Bad Boy Halo. Sounds like a great new replacement, huh Bad?" I see an annoyed look pass across his face before shaking his head and smiling with us.

"Seriously though, you look hella awesome. It's just unfortunate that it happened to you. I've never seen you do one scary or threatening thing in the 6 years I've been here." A smirk now graces his lips.

"Guess you don't know me too well then. I throw knives in our bunker and I uh..." he pulls away the corner of his lab coat to reveal a small Nerf gun spray painted black. I giggle a bit.

"They took away my real one," he continues dejectedly. My eyes widen slightly at the thought of the "innocent" man that I'd been spending my time with for the last 6 years was throwing knives and carrying around a gun.

"Knowing that I'd say your new name fits pretty well then," Fundy laughs nervously.

"Oh stop it you muffin. I'm not that dangerous," Bad chuckles as he rolls his eyes. He then turns his attention to Ranboo, who is sitting peacefully in the back corner that is as far from the door as possible.

"Guess I should go meet the newbie." I look at Fundy hopefully. He just rolls his eyes.

"Yeah I guess you can go in. Don't stay for too long though. Either of you. Bad I'm gonna need you to come down to the lab after you're done here so Niki and I can confirm you're not in too much danger." Bad nods before placing his hand gently on the scanner and walking into decontam as I follow close behind. At the opening of the door with a slight release of steam, Ranboo's eyes jumped up to the door but became less panicked looking after I was in his view. I place my hand on Bad's arm and give him a look, telling him to wait while I continue to walk up to Ranboo.

"N-N/N!" his deep voice greets me cheerfully but quietly. I give a small smile.

"Hi Ranboo. I want to introduce you to my friend, is that okay? He's going to be working with you too." He nods slightly and his eyes jump to Bad. I turn and motion for him to walk forward. His steps move slowly across the ground before he kneels next to me.

"Hi Ranboo. You can call me Bad." Ranboo still looks hesitant towards him, eyes scanning over every inch of Bad.

"I promise he's not as scary as he looks. He's really just a giant marshmallow," I say as I giggle. Ranboo crawls slightly closer to where we're sitting before sitting directly in front of Bad.

"C-cool h-horns..." Ranboo says as he trains his eyes on the curling black structures piercing through 2 sloppily cut holes in the hood of Bad's hoodie.
"Thanks. They're beginning to grow on me too," Bad smiles. I turn to a knock on the glass where Fundy is tapping the non existent watch on his wrist.

"We have to go again Ranboo. I'll still be right outside the glass though, okay?" He nods sadly but understandingly as Bad and I stand to leave through decontamination again.

Unknown POV

I scan my badge on the inconspicuous stone wall at the very back of the facility. The doors open noiselessly and I step inside before they close quickly behind me, as if nothing happened.

"Hello sir. We've prepped the test subject. All that remains is your go ahead and the procedure.' I nod shortly and the doctors get to work, a syringe filled with a bubbling green liquid laid on the table next to a bottle of Oblivium, a serum of my own design that took years to perfect. They slowly fill a secondary syringe with the ice blue Oblivium before flicking it to get all of the air bubbles out and inserting it into the man chained to the bed before me.

"You'll never get away with this. They'll know what you've done." I laugh at his final statement.

"Oh, I already have gotten away with it. They don't even know you're gone and you'll be unrecognizable when I'm done. Dose him." The blue syringe is inserted into him before his eyes close momentarily. The second doctor takes this opportunity to insert the other syringe. An ear piercing scream emerges from the man before me as a pair of long white wings spring from his back and his eyes turn a brilliant green, the same as the serum. His once short, dark blond hair has grown to his shoulders and has lightened to be almost platinum blonde in color.

"Who.. Who are you? Where am I?" I smirk at my successful creation.

"Hello B-47292. Welcome to Live."
