Team: Beep

They were waiting for Nickel and Rocky to come back, when Balloony started to get worried.

"What if they got caught? Or KILLED?!"

"Don't worry Balloony, Nickel is very responsible. Plus, Rocky can defend himself."

"M-Maybe, but we should go out and look for them still!"

"But everyone wants to go back now! They know where our base is, just follow the mountains."

"Yeah, but-" 

"You're overreacting Balloony, just follow me, they are fine."

"Ok Cloudy, you can go with Roboty and David. I'll go look for them."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, just go." 

'If you say so..."

Cloudy started leading Roboty and David back home, while Balloony went in the other direction. After a little while, he decided to run, seeing it would find them faster. Suddenly, he smelled the pungent vomit. He turned in the direction of the smell and saw what happened to them. Rocky's body had a puddle of dried blood around him, with a small hole in between his eyes. Balloony ran to the body, looking over it, analyzing what happened. He started to look for Nickel and saw him soon after. His body was in two, shock etched on his face still. Surprised by this sight, Balloony didn't hear the footsteps approaching behind him. He turned around too slowly and heard a pop before his vision turned to black.

Pencil

*Huff*

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, as she looked down at the string that belonged to Balloony, before taking his items, which included a pocketknife and slingshot. Pencil had been caught by Team Ice Cube, but luckily, they let her go because of an act she put up. This got her across the border, and she found something that helped her sharpen her end. She used this to end Balloony and steal his items. Knowing that this was Iance territory, she started heading towards the base. Hoping that one of her alliance members were there. She opened the doors slowly, revealing Flower in a cast, and Snowball holding a spear, prepared to throw anything that had come out the door. Fortunately, it missed, and Pencil was fine. 

"Oh...It's Pencil."

"Did you guys miss me?"

"No, in fact, I hoped it was somebody else."

"Well, rude!"

"Would you have hoped the person here was me?"

"...No."

"Exactly, but another member isn't something I'll fuss about."

Flower gave her some berries to eat and told her what happened to them. Pencil was impressed.

"You killed both Nickel and Rocky? Is that how you broke your leg?"

"No, I broke it from the fall."

"Oh, well at least you didn't die."

They had a conversation that lasted for a little while, and Snowball offered an idea. 

"We should go look for our lost teammates, you know, unless they're dead."

"I think they're gone, and we should just focus on us."

"No way! Match and Ruby are totally alive, I know it!"

"How can you be so sure Pencil?" 

"Because Flower, if they died, I would know."

"Really? How do you tell?"

"A... Feeling! Yeah, I get a feeling if they're dead."

Snowball shook his head, and just said,

"Look, we can't rely on your 'feeling' Pencil, we're risking our own lives for this. I say we stay here and wait for them to come to us. That way, we'll know they're alive and their location."

"But what if they need help? We won't be able to help them!"

"Well, we can't do anything about that... So, we'll just have to hope those weaklings are strong enough to survive on their own."

Knowing she wouldn't win this argument, Pencil backed off and stormed into her room. Angry, she threw some pillows into the wall, yelling. The other two could hear this but did nothing. They couldn't stop her, or they would end up injured. The two of them thought they should discuss their strategy. Both of them came up with the idea to just, lay low. Flower was injured, and they had 2 AWOL members. If they were to go against another team, they would definitely have the lower hand. They decided to rest for now, thinking about what to do later.

Yellow Face & Marker

It had been 2 days since they had headed off, and they have had no luck. They were supposed to find their teammates but had no luck in doing so. Right now, they were on the border, going into "A Better Name Than That" territory. They crossed and had no troubles. However, once they were at a lake, they could make out objects. Assuming they were Fries, Eraser, and Puffball, Marker ran to them. Yellow Face, however, could tell it wasn't them.

"WAIT! MARKER!"

It was too late, when Yellow Face got there, he could see Marker, on the floor, dead. His body had been stabbed multiple times, and his cap was taken off. Yellow Face saw the two that murdered him. Blocky, who was twirling around a knife. And Taco, who was rubbing her hands on a towel. They were looking at Yellow Face, and grimaced. Knowing the situation that he was in, he started running towards the trees. He didn't get far though, and felt a knife stabbed in his side. He started blacking out, but not before he saw Taco and Blocky approaching, looking at each other with emotion.

Blocky & Taco

They were chatting, having a few laughs. When they suddenly heard running towards them. Blocky instinctively got his knife, while Taco got defensive. It was Marker, running towards them, eyes closed with joy. Confused, they walked towards him, and Marker gave them a hug.

"Oh good! We found you...Guys?"

It was too late, before he could react, Blocky stabbed him. He was shocked; he fell to the floor slowly. He was trying to move, but Blocky stabbed him more, until he finally went limp. Due to the stabbing, ink from Marker splattered all over Taco. She went back to their spot to clean up, when she heard a yell. She quickly turned around, and saw Yellow Face, eyes wide with shock. Blocky looked at Taco with an evil grin, and she returned it. Yellow Face turned tail and ran back to the woods. He was stopped though, by a knife thrown by Taco. While they walked towards him, they talked.

"I forgot at how good you are at throwing things!"

"Yep! Good thing I remembered last minute."

When they reached Yellow Face's body, he was already leaving this world. Knowing it's a waste of time, they just smiled at their victory, and went back to their camp. They discussed more plans and fell asleep.
