{The Last Guardian}

This is bad.
And Foolish knew it.

~

Ponk, Sam, Foolish, Eret and Dream headed down the cave,"You sure?", "We need to get in the bottom of this stupid thing.", "Agreed.", Sam kept Ponk close, the virus in Ponk had gotten worse and also because he didn't want to be locked in a closed space again.
"Karl?!"
They were surprised, seeing Karl and he was just as surprised,"Oh, hello!", "You're here investigating it too?",  Karl nods,"Yeah, sorry. Don't worry though, I've been careful.", Karl was wearing boots, gloves and much more,"I can see.", "Well, you can give us a hand.", "Thanks!", so Karl showed Dream and Foolish what he's written.

"This doesn't make sense. . . How is this thing regenerating? I mean- I get it, it's a supernatural plant of some kind, but I really thought we contained it.", Eret put his glasses down, putting them in his pocket,"I don't know. . .", "But, I guess it makes sense why the vines haven't decayed. . . But, Ponk?", Ponk looked up,"Hm?", "Did you ever find, out why you only seem to still have the virus.", Ponk shrugged, rubbing his eyes,"I don't know. . . I just-. . . Something-, this nausea feeling that never leaves me alone.", as they spoke, Dream and Karl were looking around, poking and ripping through the vines or the dead cells/vines of The Egg, trying to find something and then Dream felt something, frowning as he couldn't pull it out and he started to pull harder.
"So, it's like. . . Like this reminder you have that won't you leave alone?"
"Kind of??"
"This is all just-"
"AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!"
Sam, Foolish, Eret and Karl turned in fright of Dream screaming!
Dream stumbled back in horror and practically crawled back from what he found!
There in a huge pile of vines was a corpse of a Pig Hybird.
Their clothes were torn, his vines and eyes were red, hair was practically dead and ruined and of course his entire appearance was just scary, to Dream at the most.
But Karl was shocked.
"That's. . . That's Sir Billiam!", they turned to Karl in surprise,"That was the Last Guardian Of The Egg! Before he went insane and used his friends to feed the Egg or his staff. . .", Karl sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, glaring at himself,"Bet he regrets that now.", Karl walked near the corpse,"Jeez. . . What the hell happened to him. . .", everyone was surprised, Dream stood up with the help of Foolish as he was shaking a lot from that discovering.
. . .
"You okay, Karl?.  .  ."
He sighed,"It's weird. . . To see your tormentor like this. . .", Foolish was concerned, but they decided not to question Karl because of his memory problems going around.
They approached the corpse,"Think we should take a sample?", "Definitely.", Foolish stepped forward next to Karl, examining the body and taking some samples of the blood, skin or flesh, hopefully his ghost doesn't come back to haunt us.", Karl nods, helping while Sam calmed Dream down from the scare of the corpse.
Ponk directed Foolish on how to do it carefully as to not destroy tissue of the corpse.
Only Ponk felt this nauseous feeling grow, he rested his eyes for a moment to gather himself.
"Ponk? You feeling alright?"
"Not sure. . . The nausea feels worse."
. . .
"Come on. . . Listen to the Butler."
Ponk stumbled back,"Ponk?", Sam pulled him aside with worry, also seeing Ponk held his head,"Sorry. . . I think. . . This place isn't good for me. . . Especially if it's spreading more through me. . .", Sam nods, Eret came over concerned,"We got what we need, but are you okay Ponk?", "Yeah, I think I just need. . . Need to lie down for a bit.", "Uh, Dream?", they turn and just saw Dream clinging to Foolish's leg, obviously having not recovered from the scare of the corpse.
"Dream, I uh, kind of need my leg?"
Eret chuckled as did Sam and Ponk, Karl knelt down and tired to pry Dream off.
"Were you a cat in your past life?"
"*Hiss!!**"
