///Lightbulb POV///
I grabbed Painty by their arm and took em' outta the room
"LETS GO PAINTY TO THA TREASURE!" I shouted out
"Treasure??? But we are going to the lab!"
"TREASURE." I shouted again and took em to tha FFF recording room thingy
"where are you going???"
"I am taking ya to tha lab! Testy didnt let me tell anyone cause she was tired of everyone goin' there but she wont mind if I take ya there!" I said as we began to arrive to tha FFF recording place thingy
"Why are we in the FFF studio then? you said you were taking me to her lab"
"well ya see Painty...THATS THE TRICK!" I said as I entered the studio and Painty followed me around with their Plant in hand? I dunno why they brought it but oh well, I'm glad they liked it!
"the trick? what trick? Lightbulb I will need you to explain things NORMALLY, please"
"oh ye, the trick iz that you wouldnt except tha lab to be here but the thing is... Its just right here!"
"here?"
"well ye- kinda"
"kinda?"
"ye, its next door!"
"but isnt that like- the audio engineering room?"
"ye, so follow me or ya might die!"
"DIE!? LIGHTBULB ARE YOU CRAZY!?"
"ye." I said and entered tha room
i looked back and Painty looked at me insecure
Then they sighed and finally entered the room
"where is the lab?" They asked me
"we aint there yet! buuuuuuut we will be there soon"
I went over to a lever that was placed on a wall
"c'mon Painty come over here!"
Painty came closer to me and when they were finally close enough I pulled tha lever and grab em' by their hand
suddenly...a really shiny laser err...thingy came outta tha wall and hit us and we dissapeared!
I closed my eyes and when I opened em back... we were at tha lab!!!
"WOAH-" Painty looked around tha room really surprised
"ya liked tha ride?" I said to em' as I took em' outta the laser's place thingy
"yeah it was...impressive?"
"I know! i said tha same thing when I came here tha first time!"
"the first time? youve been here before?
"ye"
"how???"
"well I just came here ya know? to visit"
"but you were in the contestants battlefields, how did you even visit us???"
"with what imma show ya now!" I said as I fully  exited the teletransportation room
I finally went inside tha actual lab and looked around for a second and...EVERYTHING was destroyed!
"wowzie...looks like someone has been here before us" I said as I walked around
"wait isnt it supposed to look like this?"
"nopity nope"
"oh...maybe it got attacked by Taco?"
"ye I think thats what happened cuz Testy told me something about this"
"What did she tell you exactly?"
"Weeeeeell...something about a weird liquid thingy-"
"Yeah yeah, I know about that, but is there something that you didn't tell ME?"
"Hmmm...."
I thought for it for a while and couldn't remember nothin'
"Nope!"
Painty sighed and looked back at me
"Alright then? Ummmm...what did you want to show me Lightbulb?"
"Oh ye." I went over to a the place that was the most destroyed
"It's gotta be here somewhere...." I said kinda to myself as I looked around tha place
"HERE!" I jumped outta and went to a weird portal looking thingy
"Huh? What's this?" Said Painty as they looked over to me
"Itz a portal! Well... Kinda."
"Kinda? What do you mean?"
"Testy told me that it wasn't a portal but I like to call it like that!"
"So what is it then?"
"Uhhhh..wait imma need a sticky note for this"
I pulled outta a sticky note and started reading it
"Where the fuck did you take that out of."
"AJEM AJEM"
"Lightbulb don't ignore me."
"It says here that it's called....'Super Teletransportation Device Capable Of Teleporting Any Matter From TestTubes Lab To The Battlefields In A Matter Of Seconds Or Viceversa Without A Way To Come Back' or STDCOTAMFTLTTBIAMOSOVWAWTCB for short" I said as I smiled at em'
"Wow...that's a long name-"
"Ye"
"Well so what I've got from the name is that it's a teletransportation device that can only teleport you once and you can't come back?"
"Ye."
"Do you even know how it works?"
"Ye"
"LIGHTBULB CAN YOU FUCKING STOP SAYING YE TO EVERYTHING?!" They said as they got a little bit of flames on their head and then looked at the plant and nearly magically calmed themselves down
"Oop, alrighty then." I said as I went over to tha machine cuz I was gonna turn it on
Then I realised something...
I stopped and looked at the floor for a while
Paintbrush realised that and went over to me grabbing me by tha shoulder
"What's wrong Lightbulb? You were about to show me something" they said to me
I looked at them straight to their eyes
"Lightbulb?" They said as they stopped grabbing my shoulder
I pointed at the floor which had bits of Fan's red paper thingy and black liquid next to it with some infected bits of him
"Painty, Fan is..." I said as my face started to look pure white from the realisation
"Fan is..." said Painty as they looked directly at my eyes
"FAN IS INFECTED!" We both shouted at the same time
Then we suddenly heard a loud bang and Painty grabbed me by my arm and pulled me closer to em'
"Well...well...well...if it isn't Paintbrush and Lightbulb" said a voice that I didn't recognise at first
I turned around and saw em...it was Taco!
"You little shit..." Paintbrush said as they put me behind em'
"Haha yeah, it's me...quite a pleasure to talk to you once again" said Taco smiling
"What do you want?!" Said Painty as they put themselves in a protective attitude
"You mean...what do WE want!"
"We? Who is we?" Asked Painty confused
I looked around and saw Fan smiling from behind us
"Uh- Painty- I think ya might wanna turn around" I said to Painty as I looked at Fan
"Turn around for wha-" they turned around and saw Fan
They stood there looking at him
"You fucking bitch...."
"Yeah yeah- keep the monologue for later my dear brush" said Taco taking out a gun
"You won't get a CHANCE to hurt Lightbulb" said Paintbrush as they pulled me closer to em' again
"Oh but Paintbrush don't you know? The pattern repeats itself...a friend gets captured and their other friend tries to help them but....THEY FAIL!" Said Fan as they pulled a gun out
Taco pointed at me and smiled
"haha...ITS TIME!" She said and just before she shot me...
I felt something kinda hot...and it definitely was fire!
I looked over to Painty and they had flames on their head!
"YOU.WONT.HURT.LIGHTBULB." They said and grabbed Taco from her neck and let me and the plant go
"GAH!" Said Taco and their gun fell to the floor from the surprise
I looked over to my side and saw the plant that Painty had let go and grabbed it cuz it was gonna break
I hugged the plant and looked at Taco and Paintbrush
"You've got em Painty!"
I heard a loud bang and saw how it hit Painty
"PAINTY!" I said and went over to em'
Painty let Taco fall to the ground
"Lightbulb grab the gun and let's go..." they said as they grabbed me by my arm
"Aight!" I let go from em, grabbed the gun and tha plant and we both started runnin'!
I followed em to a random room that they entered
They grabbed a random lever
"Come on Lightbulb!"
I jumped to where they were and they pulled me closer to em'
I looked back and saw Fan pointing a gun at us
Painty pulled tha lever thingy right when Fan shot us
I got hit in tha arm just when we were boutta get teleported
Everything turned SO bright for a lil secondz and then everything turned visible again
"Where are-" Said Painty as they pulled me kinda away
"I dunno, looks kinda like tha old Idiotic Island"
"The one that blew up?"
"Ye! I'm sure that if we keep walking we might even find tha old cage thingy!"
"Umm...alright?"
I started walking around and Painty kinda followed me slowly
"Why are ya walking so slowly? Are ya like tired?"
"Im not tired it's just....Agh nevermind, lets keep searching for the cage alright?"
"Ya know lyin' is gonna make ya nose get longer?"
"We don't even have noses Lightbulb"
"Well DUH, ya ain't lyin' so it ain't growin'!"
"What."
"Look it ain't important now, ya wanna take a lil rest?"
"No"
"Aight, lets rest then!"
I layed down on tha floor
"I said no"
"And I said imma rest now"
"Lightbulb."
I closed my eyes and started sleepin'
"Agh...alright, rest well Lighty" they said as they patted my head and I fell asleep
