~A/N~

lots of blood and gore today, kiddies. and also depiction of murder and wounds. so skip the entire chapter. it's just blood, blood and more blood for today's chapter. stay safe, people!

not me making Grian losing his second life in 3rd Life more dramatic than it has to be-

also, I love bloodthirsty Bdubs so much. he's just a happy, mossy murder boy and I love him so much.

Peace, Love and Plants,

Grey

"I didn't realize Grian was on his second life, not his third," Scar's voice floats over to Grian, who was standing next to the cactus that had caused the death of Big B. He looks over at Scar and Bdubs, hoping that they couldn't tell he was listening.

"Right. Yeah? So?" Bdubs asks, his weapons still out from freshly killing Big B.

"I dunno, he's being awfully quiet," Scar narrows his eyes at Grian.

"I... no," Grian shifts his shield, hiding most of his vital points.

"You gave me the clock, you want me to do it?" Bdubs asks viciously.

"Listen, boys," Grian begins. "We can just arrange for me to win this, right?"

The pair of red lives both laugh at the winged Hermit's shaky voice.

"Scar..."

Grian yelps, seeing Bdubs fire an arrow at him. It grazes Grian's side, where his armor was broken from the many fights that day. Bdubs nocks another arrow, but Scar steps in.

"I have a solution," Scar says calmly.

"What?! I'm bloodthirsty, I've got two kills!" Bdubs eyes Grian's bleeding wounds. The winged man wraps his wings around himself for an extra layer of protection.

"Ok," Scar smiles sinisterly. "Bdubs, you stand right here. Grian, stand right here."

"What's the solution?" Grian asks warily, stopping into the spot Scar indicates.

Scar takes out the piece of paper in his hands with a grin. The paper read in Scar's messy handwriting 'No Kill Pass.' Grian freezes. He was pretty sure he knew what that meant. And he now knew that he had to be quick.

"Whoever gets the 'No Kill Pass,'" Scar sets the paper down on the ground between Grian and Bdubs. "I don't kill."

The two men rush at the piece of paper. Grian's wings weren't as aerodynamic folded as they were when he was in the sky, making it harder for him to run as quickly as he would like. That ended with Bdubs triumphantly holding the pass in his hand.

Scar pulls out his sword, only a sad sort of glint in his eye. "Sorry, Grian." Scar raises the sword into the air. Bdubs stands back, ready to watch the carnage.

"After everything we've been through?" Grian asks, holding up his shield.

"Good-bye," Scar says simply, plunging the sword through the wood and right into Grian's chest.
