Roblox Piggy Book 2: H.O.P.E

6.1 - Factory

Lucinda

It was safe to say that Pony had started to act a little weird after losing Zizzy.

His actions and emotions directly after were understandable. I allowed for him to mourn over his loss in whatever way he saw fit. However, when Willow had ambushed us, Pony had started to act strange. I didn't tell him directly, of course. I had wanted to wait and see if what he said was just a result of sleep deprivation or not. After finding the note about "The Insolence", I started to have my suspicions about him. He had muttered something under his breath when I passed him back at the Safe Place.

"The Insolence watches..."

After he said that, he claimed that a voice had come into his head, but he had no recollection of what it told him. I wasn't going to tell him that I heard him act weird, especially now that we had more important things to worry about. Willow, Pony and I were currently staring each other down. The wolf and I both had our guns pointed at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move. Pony seemed to be sweating bullets after watching us for a good bit.

Suddenly, the bed, which the others had pushed over the sewer cap earlier, fell onto its side as the sewer cap opened, making a sound. I didn't look away from Willow as I heard Pony lightly gasp. On the other hand, the wolf opted to bat an eye towards the cell. She turned back to us with a smirk before tilting her head towards the cell. "Sounds like something is coming up from there. Doesn't sound too friendly to me," her pretentious voice said. "Although we both have similar weapons, I can actually control my temper. Not too fair, not very fun. I'll give you a head start."

"Your time starts now."

With that, Willow pointed her gun upwards and shot the lights on the ceiling.

The room immediately went dark, and when I turned to look at Willow, I was met with nothing. She had vanished. I groaned in annoyance as I put my gun back in its holster. "We've got to stop her," I heard Pony say from behind me. "Let's look around for something we can use." He didn't have to tell me twice. The second he had finished that sentence, I had already turned around on my heel and ran off to begin my search. I already knew what was coming. What was the point in standing around?

After running around the long way, I found two doors. One had a red lock on it while the other wasn't locked at all. I went through the latter and found myself in what looked to be a bedroom. The beds inside all had black sheets while a cabinet held the very weapon used to ambush us. On the bedside table to my left sat a red key. I ran over to it and grabbed it before leaving the room. I went to the door with the red lock, unlocked it and ran away down the hall.

I ran around the corner and stopped infront of the door I came in from at the end of the hall. Before I stepped through it, I heard a scream from outside and a growl from inside. I chose to look at the latter first as I turned my head. Pony backed up a bit as the person causing ruckus down in the sewers emerged from the cell. He was a koala who was wearing a factory uniform. His hands held two maces tightly, and while his left eye was black and green, his right one was black with an orange iris. It reminded me of the eye back at the Safe Place.

Knowing that the koala wouldn't start chasing me until he found me, I sighed and turned around before pushing the door infront of me open and running out of it. After closing the door and getting out of view, I opted to seize the opportunity to check out what was happening outside, and what I saw made my eyes widen as I gasped. Before, the three T.S.P members outside were working on their duties. Now, they were hazardous situations. The panda was hanging from a building, the cat was stuck under bricks and the fox was stuck behind a fence.

My hand sat on the railing as I slowly walked along the platform. The panda was the one who noticed me and my shocked state first. "KID!" she yelled, her voice hoarse and desperate. "KID, PLEASE! HELP ME!" Her grip on the roof above her was slowly starting to slip, and the drop down to the ground wasn't short. She would definitely die if she lost her grip on the roof's edge. Then again, she and the others did try to attack me back at the refinery.
