No one's POV
-
Its been a while since Cheesy and Knife are walking.
Knife's using his phone as a GPS to locate the Meeple Headquarters.
Its a very quiet walk.
"Are you sure we're in the right direction ? We've been walking forever and I think we've already been there."
"Yes I'm sure, I noted the exact adress."
"Alright then, but I still think we should look again on the laptop to be sure."
"Okay, give it to me."
"Give you what ?"
"The laptop."
"I though you had it?"
They both stay quiet and look at each other.
"Don't tell me we forgot it."
"Alright I won't say it then."
"Damn it ! We have to go back."
"Okay, let's go quickly."
Knife and Cheesy turned around and runned back to the Hotel.
They both get in when arrived.
"Okay, go take the laptop I'll take more stuff in my room, judt in case."
"Okay."
While Cheesy walked to TestTube's lab, Knife whent upstairs.
-
Knife's POV :
Okay, I'll take some bandage, bevause we don't know...
Maybe this too.
"Knife ?"
I turn around after earing my name.
"Pickle ?"
"Its super late, why are you up- wait, why do you have a bag ?"
I stay silent.
"Knife ? What's going on ?"
"I'm going out, to find Trophy."
"What ?!"
"I don't want to wait tomorow, I'm gonna act, now."
"Knife this is crazy ! You can't go like that !"
I turn back, to keep packing up.
"Since Trophy is gone, all you care about is him !"
"Well yeah..."
"You don't even care about yourself anymore !"
"I do, and its because I care about me and him that I'm going out tonight."
"I'm not talking about just when Trophy disappeared, but before too ! You started acting weird, barely eating or sleeping, even when he blackmailed you ! You acted like it was nothing when it was utterly wrong."
"He apologized, and why are you so against him now, I thought you two managed to get along ?"
"I'm not against him, I just don't understand why all of this is happening. "
"Its because there are things you don't know."
"Then tell me !"
I open my mouth to say something but stop myself.
"I can't tell you, those things are rather private, and I don't know if Trophy would agree about me telling you, I care about his feelings."
"What about mine ? Don't you care about me too ?"
I freeze to his word.
I turn back to face him.
He looks like he is waiting for me to talk.
As if my words meant the world to him.
"Of course I do, I really care about you Pickle."
His face seems to lighten up.
He sighs.
"Just...Be safe, okay ?"
He says with a smile.
"I will, don't worry."
I get up and walk to him.
He hugs me.
I'm surprised at first, but hug him back.
"You better be back soon, or else."
He says with a chuckle.
"Yeah...You can count on me."
I feel as if my cheecks got warm.
"I'm going back to sleep, good luck Knife."
He let go of me and walks away.
"Thanks, goodnight Pickle."
He waves at me and leave.
I feel myself getting red.
I shake my head and leave too.
"Ah you're back ! What took you so long ?"
"Uh..Nothing..."
"Okay, I got the laptop, let's go."
We both walk to the entrance door.
"𝗛𝗲𝘆! 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘂𝗽 ?"
We both jump in fear, just to see Yang on the stairs.
"Yaaang hiii, uh..We were just..." Cheesy start saying.
"You're not with Yin ?"
"𝗡𝗼, 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲."
"Ooh that's nice hehe." Cheesy replies.
"𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗮𝘆 ?"
We both look at each other, silent.
"What's going on here ?"
We all turn around to see Balloon walking down stairs.
Is everyone awake tonight ?!
"𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁."
"We were not !" Cheesy answered.
I don't want to waste more time.
I sigh
"We're going out to find Trophy."
"Knife !" Cheesy screams silently at me.
"What ? They won't stop us from going anyway."
"𝗬𝗮𝘆 ! 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 ! 𝗜'𝗺 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗼!"
"Shuush !!" We both replie.
"You...Want to come with us ?"
"𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗵, 𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗮𝘆. 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀, 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆."
Cheesy turns to face me.
"Well...I guss you could eventually join us b-"
"𝗔𝗹𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗴𝗼!"
Yang says cutting me.
"Wait, I can't just let you go!"
I turn back to see Balloon.
I had completly forgot he was here...
"Balloon please don't snitch on us !"
"𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗵 ! 𝗢𝗿 𝘄𝗲'𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 !"
"Ah ! No no no ! Don't do that...I was just gonna ask to join..."
I walk up to him.
"Are you sure ? You're...Kinda fragile."
"Yes ! I want to be helpful, I'm not scared of getting hurt, really !
I can see determination in his eyes.
I stay quiet and nodds.
"Alright, alright, I don't want to waste any more time, so let's go, now, you two can join us, so be carefull."
"We will don't worry."
"𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗵 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗵 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆."
We all walk silently outside and run into the forest.
-
After typing the adress, we all got started walking.
Balloon and Yang were talking and walking behind us.
Cheesy was next to me.
This isn't what I had in mind but it will do.
We find the Meeple Headquarters, beat up whoever kidnapped Trophy, and save gim, the end.
Then things will be just right...
I glace at Cheesy.
He is an obstacle between me and Trophy and I don't like that.
The only reason I wanted him to join is to help me find Trophy, he is the only one who I know would agree to go with me tonight.
But If I had knew Yang and Balloon would join, I wouldn't have asked Cheesy...
Whatever.
I need to focus.
"Are we there yet ?" Cheesy ask me.
"Not yet, but we're getting closer."
"Alright, I hope Trophy is okay..."
"Yeah me too."
I can't hate him for caring about him.
Because its stupid.
But why is he now getting in my ways just when I get my shits right ?
And why Trophy ?
"So...What's between you and Trophy ?"
"Oh ! Hum ! Well uh..." He replies.
"Did things happened ?"
"No ! I mean...Yes, but- Why do you care ?"
"I don't know, I'm just curious."
"Well I am too, what's going on between you two ? I thought you guys hated each other or something."
"We had a bad relationship before, but its over now."
He doesn't reply and we keep walking.
-
"Okay, its here."
"Here ? But there's nothing around ?"
"𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀, 𝘂𝗴𝗵 !"
"It doesn't make sense, we noted the exact adress and my GPS says its here !"
"Guys, I think I know what's going on."
I turn around to face Balloon.
"What if its not around us, but above us ?"
We all look at each other, confused.
"What do you mean ?" Cheesy ask.
"I already heard that name, 'Meeple Headquarters' but I couldn't figure out when, but now I remember,  its when Mephone got his weird battery problem and the challenge was to find something to help him, that's when we all whent there !" Balloon states.
He's right ! I remember too now !
"𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 ? 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁."
"We used hot air balloon as I remember."
Cheesy replies.
"All we need to do know is to find one." Balloon says to me.
"𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲, 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗳 𝗜 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 !"
"Oh come on, I'm just saying, stop with the sarcasm."
Balloon tells Yang.
"Mepad and Toilet had brought us to a place where they were...If I can just remember where it was maybe we can go and see if there are any left" Balloons says.
"Alright, let's go, we'll follow you."
-
Trophy's POV
I glace at my bedroom's windows, its dark outside but the stars shine so bright.
I put my hands on the cold and transparent glass.
The light of the moon shine thru the grey clouds, making its way to me.
I can see my reflection.
The jewleries are shyning like a silver sun.
I'm tired but I don't want to sleep, not yet...
Cobs isn't sleeping either.
After he confessed, he decided to spend more time with.
That day I didn't say "I love you" back, but didn't mind.
'Take your time dear, all the time you need, I'll wait, just for you."
At first I thought it was creepy, but then, I've found it beautiful to say...
Despite the fact that he kidnapped me, and that he is a sick person, I enjoy this.
Not him.
Just the attention.
I always tried to get attention.
At first from my biological father, then from everyone.
I feel like I need it, it makes me happy, it fills me.
It fills my emptiness.
Its very selfish, I know...But can you really blame me ?
After all, at first he just wanted to open me, to let me die for some rocks that would have bring him money.
I just returns him the favor.
Um.
Hum..
I sigh.
I can't help but wonder if I will ever leave this place ?
Will the other come to find me ?
Does they even care ?
I mean...Would they ?
I'm not really close from them, am I ?
I really fucked up here didn't I ?
If only I would have been nicer, kinder, better, maybe then, there would be at least one chance for them to come.
You ruined everything.
Why would they bother ? Would you ?
No.
Because no one cares for mean, selfish people, they just 'get what they deserve'.
...
I'm just being dramatic, things aren't so bad.
I'm just stuck here,in the same room, everyday, barely leaving it, away from anyone, and anything, with no friends, no connection, and with a creepy guy whose in love with me for 'who knows' reasons.
...
Ugh, I'm going crazy, this is cringe.
I walk away and lay on my bed.
Can't believe I started acting like this.
I got food, water, entertainment, and someone who is weird okay but cares.
Maybe what's bother me most is not this, but the fact that probably no one will ever come find me.
Its a painful feeling but I can't help it.
I sigh.
I'll just go to sleep.

No one POV
"More fire ! We're going down !"
"𝗨𝗴𝗵 !! 𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 !"
"Ah!-"
"I though at least one of you knew how to control this !"
"𝗢𝗵 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗵 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 ! 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗳 𝗺𝘆 '𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗮' 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁!"
"You don't have any pocket ! You don't even wear clothes !"
"Can you all stop screaming please ?"
"Everyone look ! Its here." Knife state, pointing buildings with his finger.
"Humm...guys, this isn't the entrance ! We're goint to crash !"
"𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 !"
"Everyone hold on thigh !"
The hot air balloon hits some statues and ends up crashing in what seemed to be a parking.
It didn't hit or damage any buildings luckily.
"Is everyone okay ?" Cheesy asks.
The 3 other boys nodds, while disengaging themself from the tissue of the hot air balloon.
They both walk quietly, looking for a building's door.
"Here ! There is a door !" Knife state.
"Okay, I'll see if I got anything in my bag to-"
" 𝗔𝗬𝗔𝗔𝗔!!" Yang yells, busting down the door with his foot.
"Shuush !!"
"𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲."
"Quick ! Let's get in, and in silence !"
They all walk in quietly.
"Isn't it weird that there were no alarm ?"
"Good point, mayb-"
At the same time an alarm ring loudly.
"Crap ! What do we do ?!"
"Everyone separate ! Take a weapon with you and don't hesitate to fight if needed !"
Cheesy and Knife opens their bag to show, bats, knifes, crowbards and metal pieces.
"𝗢𝗼𝗵, 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗜 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁."
"I'll take the knifes, Balloon take the crowbard, Cheesy the bat and Yang metal pieces."
"𝗛𝗲𝗵𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 !"
"We'll see each other again ! Good luck !"
They all run in differents directions.
-
Cheesy's POV
This was not planned, but I don't have any other choices now.
I bust many doors, as I try to create myself a way in the building.
"Intruders.Stop.Right.Now."
"Aah!-"
A robot-phone gets in front of me.
Damn it!
"Stop.Now."
"Get away !" I scream, hitting him with my bat.
It falls under it and seems to be 'dead'.
Well that was easy.
I start running again, the alarm noises is now far behind me.
"Where do I go now ? This place is so big..."
bust another door, which leads to a medical room sort of.
I was about to leave when I notice some weird drawings.
Is this supposed to beTrophy ?
Instructions are also wrote.
'Cut slowly in, to open the chest-'
I back off disgusted.
Were those supposed to be made on Trophy ?!
No.
No no no!
I turn back to restart running.
This can't be it!
Please!
I hope its not too late!
"If Trophy dies, I swear-"
I bust another door, nothing.
"-I will kill whoever-"
I bust another one, nothing.
"-dared to hurt him!"
I bust another door, still nothing.
I make my way in a long hall, fancy looking.
"Trophy !!"
I don't care about behind discreet anymore.
"Trophy ! Where are you ?!"
I bust many doors but still nothing.
Some robot-phone managed to make their way to me.
I hit them, getting hit in return.
"Damn robot!"
I scream hitting another one.
I feel an electric pain in my back and scream in pain.
I fall on the floor.
"A taser ? Ugh...This is new."
I take my bat and hit it in his screen.
The glass shaters on the floor.
I back off and run away.
I still feel the pain of the taser in my back, sweat on my face, my bat in hand.
I run in another long hallway and bust the first door I see again.
Someone is here this time, I can see a dark figure with a long white dress, laying on a bed.
Is this a woman ? Did she got kidnapped too ?
"Are you okay miss ?"
"Cheesy ?"
I run inside.
"Trophy ?"
"Cheesy !"
"Trophy !"
I run inside and hug him as tigh as I can.
"I'm so happy to see you ! Are you okay ?! Did they hurt you ?!"
"I'm okay ! Really ! H-how did you find me ? How did you even get here !"
"Its a long story! But I'm so relieved you're okay!"
"Wait, you're hurt! what happened !?"
"Its nothing don't worry." I say softly.
We keep hugging each other.
I can feel his soft metal skin, wich is cold to me.
He suddenly pushes me.
"Wh-"
"Chut! I hear footsteps ! Quick!"
He takes my hand and we both hide in a closet.
"I don't want those damn robots to catch us." He wispers.
"Yeah..." I smile.
He smiles at me and we hug again.
"How did you get here?"
"We've found a way to 'locate you', and used a hot air balloon to get here."
"We ?"
"Yeah ! I'm not alone!"
I can see Trophy's face lighten up.
"Oh, alright, I'm glad you guys cared for me." He says with a smile.
"Of course ! We kind of ditched some risedent by the way because only à few of us decided to act sooner, its complicated... but in fact everyone wanted to save you !"
"Wow, okay..." he replies still smiling.
I'm so happy to see him.
"Trophy ?"
"Yes ?"
"You need to know...I really missed y-"
The doors of the closet suddenly opens.
We both look up in chock.
"Knife !" Trophy says happily.
He get up and jump on to hug him.
"I missed you ! I can't believe you're here!"
"I heard familiar voices coming from the inside, I'm glad I managed to find you in here."
I get up and walk to them.
"Trophy ?"
We turns, and hear footsteps coming from the door.
"Its one of those damn robots ! Let's hide again!"
We all get into the closet and closes the doors.
Mecanic noises are heard and then silence.
We all sigh in relief.
"Don't worry, we'll get you out of here."
"Yeah !"
"I trust you both, I'm not worried." He says smiling.
I smile back at him.
"Nice dress by the way."
Ah! I know it's ridiculous okay!" Trophy screams silently, embarrassed.
"It looks good on you."
"Stop mocking me Knife !"
"But I'm serious."
"Shush!"
I chuckle.
"Trophy ?!"
We all stops.
"Trophy !? Are you here ?!"
Can be heard from the hall.
Trophy tries to get up and open a door.
"What are you doing ! Stay here !"
Trophy looks back at us without saying a word.
"Close the door ! Get back with us !"
Trophy turns back and leave.
I get up and follow him.
"Trophy wait !" I run and grab his hand.
He stops and faces me.
The light of the moon thru the window make his face and jewleries shyne.
"Trophy ?!" The voice says again from outside.
His expression changes, I can see guilt and fear.
But I can feel that he knows what he is doing.
He turns his head many time, from me to the door.
I let got of him.
"Trophy !? Answer me !"
I back off and run inside the closet, half closing the door.
"What are you doing ?! Where is Trophy ?!" Knife scream at me silently.
I stay silent and make a sigh with my hand to shush him.
"I'm here !"
We both hear Trophy scream.
"Trophy ! There you are !" A Corn-guy looking arrives in the room.
"I heard noises and my door felt on the floor, I was so worried!" Trophy states.
They hug each other.
"Who is this guy ! What the hell is going on!" Knife says still screaming silently.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you." The Corn Guy says, rubbing Trophy's face.
They both smile at each other.
It hurts to see, but I know Trophy doesn't like this person.
I trust him.
"What the hell ! Who the fuck is this punk ?!" Knife says.
"Knife ! Be quiet !" I try to calm him down.
We look at each other.
I look back at the door to see them kiss.
I gasp.
Knife suddenly pushes me.
"Knife ! No!!-"
He opens the doors roughly.
"You fucker !!" He screams running towards them.
They both turns around.
"Knife wait!-" Trophy screams.
"Don't worry ! I'll get you away from this asshole!"
Knife runs towards him, my bat in hand.
A light rises and Knife screams in pain.
He falls on the floor.
"Knife !" I scream.
"Don't move, unless you also wants to get tased." The Corn guy says menacingly.
I freeze.
"Please don't hurt them!"
"You know them?"
"Y-yes ! They're my friends ! Please don't hurt them!"
"Your friends ? Here ? Trying to get you away from me ! They were trying to take you away weren't they ?!" He screams at Trophy.
"So all this was planned uh ? All that you ever wanted was to leave !"
Trophy back up.
"I...Its-"
"I thought you loved me ! I thought we had something ! I cared about you ! But you were just acting all along ?!"
"I-I'm sorry- I-"
"But I don't care anymore now, if I can't have you, no one can. After all, we had a deal. Security !"
Metalic noises are heard from the door and some robot-phone enter the room.
"𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗴𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 !!"
"Ouch ! Let us go !"
Ballon and Yang are hold by 2 Robots.
"Balloon ! Yang !" I says.
"Assistants ! I want you to take those intruders, and put them in the basement cell."
"Yes.Sir."
2 of them runs towards us and grabs me and Knife.
"Let me go!" I try to resist.
"No wait ! Please ! Release them!" Trophy beg him, hugging onto him.
He push him away harshly.
"And take this one to the medical room, we got some work to do."
"N-no, no wait ! Please ! Ah! Don't do that !"
A robot grabs Trophy, and drags him to the door.
"Trophy no!!" I scream tears in my eyes, but even with all my strength, I can't get away.
"Take them to the basement now."
"Yes.Sir."
We all get dragged to the door.
"You monster !! How can you do this!?" I scream at him.
But he doesn't react.
We leave the room and I can see Trophy cetting dragged far away.
After entering many rooms we are thrown in a small and cold room.
"No !! Wait ! Stop!" I get up running towards the big metal door.
But it closes right in front of me.
"No !! I refuse this !! Let us out!"
I hit the door with my fists.
Tears rolling down my cheeks.
This can't be happening.
I turn to see Knife who asn't say anything getting up.
Balloon helping him.
"This is all your fault !!"
He looks at me.
"If you had just stayed in there we would be fine ! Trophy would be okay !! Now they took him to this medical room! They might kill him !!"
He stay silent, but I can see guilt and chock on his face.
"Now were stuck here ! No one knows where we are ! And someone will die because of you !!"
"C-Cheesy, calm down, maybe we-" Balloon starts.
"No !! We had a plan ! Find Trophy and save him ! But this guy isn't able to control himself and ruined everything !!"
They all stay silent.
"Now its over !! Its over ! Everything's over..."
I sit down crying.
"Its over...Everything is over..."
