Shimmering Bristles

Revelation of Destruction Pt. 2

"Where are the others? Mephone4, or Balloon, or Knife...?

Doc grimaced, which isn't a good sign, of course. "Some people were already corrupted when I got here, like this glass of Oj was following me when I got here."

Over there with Lightbulb, Paintbrush overheard this and started shaking a little bit.

"Actually, the survivors are here, over there in the M room." Nova pointed over the direction in the M room.

Test Tube's face lit up. "People are actually here?"

Doc smiled, saying "Yes, but let's do ONE thing at a time, my brain is getting overwhelmed." Test Tube nodded, and Nova motioned for everyone to come over, so they did. Lightbulb also brought a piece of wall over, which when paintbrush noticed, they smacked it out of her hand.

Nova pulled out four cards, waving them in the air. "First, your treasures! There's not really any reason to waste time 'hunting' for them." Nova held four cards face down in front of the group, making a magician-like face, "I have the power to give you powers if you pick one of these cards!"

Fan opened his mouth, presumably to ask how he had this power, but Nova cut him off before he could even say anything. "No questions! I just have the power to do this, and there's no explanation behind it-"

(Insert Intense Summary because this part is boring)

Paintbrush got a fire card, Test Tube got a grass card, and Fan complained about getting wind power when he wanted smart power. When everyone heard that Lightbulb got electric power, everyone thought the powers were fake, until Nova explained that the powers came from their personality, and their hearts.

When everyone went into the "M' room, Balloon, Goo, Nickel (Not Nick Le) and Bowbot were the only ones inside.

Although Paintbrush was happy to see the ones still alive, they couldn't help but feel sad for the other ones who either were still out there, or already in this 'Darkness' that the human kept talking about.

Balloon and Nickel were watching Sesame Street (Jk) where Balloon and Nickel were watching Naruto (Don't ask) and Bowbot was asleep in a corner filled with bean bag chairs. Goo was drawing a picture of something that looked like a deformed pony.

When Nova came into the room, everyone looked partly startled, but relieved when they knew who it was. "Hey guys! I've got what I think are the last survivors." Nova to the four behind him

Balloon waves to everyone, clearly joyed that there are more people that are alive, and not dead, or seriously deformed with blood and glitchy stuff leaking out of their head. Nickel didn't even say anything, so Balloon nudged him.

When he notices the others, he says a simple "sup."

Goo came warbling up. "Oh, hello everyone! I'm so glad you guys are ok! I've been as nervous as a Cat stuck in a tree that's like really high! And when the firefighter comes, it's too scared to jump on the ladder!"

Everyone except Lightbulb made an Ok-Cool-but I'm confused face. (Lightbulb nodded her head and said "Yeah blue boy, that's like so true.")

Nova nodded his head, obviously growing impatient. "Yeah Yeah Happy Nice reunion- but we need to get the frick out of here as quickly as we can before we get ravaged!"

Nickel nodded. "Can't argue with that."

"Yep! But we have a tiny problem." Nova scratched his head, starting to look a little embarrassed. "When I first got here I sorta- kinda- maybe- accidently dropped my uh....N.E.W.T....somewhere by a cliff of some sort..."

A couple of sparks flew out of Paintbrush's head. "And do you care to explain why the HECK YOU DIDN'T PICK IT UP?!?"

"Um...because I accidentally nudged it...and...it fell off the cliff..?"

"You WHAT!?!" Paintbrush became furious for some reason, at least until Lightbulb grabbed their arm (Oooh~)

"Calm down Painty! I've dropped plenty a thing down there in the ol' crap cliff!" Lightbulb was saying this as if it was some sort of accomplishment, or something.

Nova fidgeted with his fingers. "Um...honestly I would go see where it is, but I'm sorta...scared. So uh can two of you help me?"

Paintbrush skeptically glanced at Nova, fixing their hair...er...bristles- from their mini-tantrum. "I guess I'll come, because it's better than sitting here twiddling my thumbs."

[Balloon looks up when they say this because he's twiddling his thumbs.]

Nickel: "I'll pass. A suicide mission isn't exactly my definition of fun."

Nova: "Then...like...Lightbulb? You wanna come?"

Test Tube pointed over by Bowbot, where Lightbulb was sleeping on a beanbag as well. "Lightbulb is asleep- so I'll do the honors. Besides, I need to get research on this Darkness thing."

Paintbrush arched an eyebrow at Test Tube. "Actually, we should be hoping that we don't run into anything. Not literally wanting to run into something, Test Tube."

"Well, knowing what your...enemies...I guess are capable of is important." Test Tube shrugged and put a pocketbook in her pocketbook.

Nickel: "Nothing makes sense anymore."

Balloon: "Aw. C'mon."

Nova: "Alright, me and Paintbrush and Test Tube-"

Test Tube: "Paintbrush and Test Tube and I is actually the proper wa-"

Nova: "Yeah, sure, ENGLISH TEACHER..." Nova waved his hand in dismissal at Test Tube's grammar correction. He turned to Nickel and the sleeping others. "If you guys need anything, theres weapons and stuff in the "W" room.

Fan: "I'm assuming that means weapons room...right?"

Nova now waved his hand in dismissal at Fan's question. "That's what I said dude- Now, Paintbrush, and Test Tube, Let Mission Retrieve the N.E.W.T. Begin!"

Paintbrush: (Monotone) "Hoo. Ray. Hot Diggity Dog."
