The trees was natural green. The wood was a beautiful brown. The ground was black...and almost non-existent.
To say that Omori didn’t know where he was walking was an understatement. The black-haired boy had never seen anything like it. As he moved his snow-white legs around the forest, he started to ponder where he’d been. He’d only just finished an adventure and saw signs that maybe Basil would be in the path he’d taken, but it was clear that this was a foreign land not related to Headspace.
The boy’s pitch-black eyes then saw a site different from the rest of the forest. Coming closer to him was a being that didn’t match the bizarre imagery of the woods. It was merely a girl on a bicycle. Her shirt was pink, her hair was brown, and she appeared to be in a rush. That was until she noticed Omori in the middle of her path. Madotsuki moved her bicycle past the boy, but then spun around to stop her bike and face him.
"......"
"......"
Both children exchanged blank, emotionless looks, Madotsuki could tell that there was something odd about the boy in front of her. In a world that didn’t make sense, he stood out as an anomaly.
An invader, A threat not like the evils she’d seen. She couldn’t let him have the dream.
Omori looked at the silent, strange girl facing him. She must have been responsible. She must have dragged him away from his headspace. Away from his friends. Away from his fantasy. It was his dream and he wanted it back.
Omori held his knife. Madotsuki changed her effects.
SLICE!
The grey boy dashed at the girl, but Madotsuki was fast enough to block the attack with her knife. The knives clashed, both combatants trying to push the other out of the struggle. Madotsuki won the battle, quickly pushing Omori and causing him to slide back. Wanting to get rid of him quickly, Madotsuki ran in for the stab, The dreamer blocked the attack with the side of his knife, stopping her effect from hitting his gut. Taking advantage of the situation, Omori jumped back, ready to perform Hack Away.
SLICE SLICE SLASH!
The knife drew black aiming at the ground, each slice managing to reach it, nearly cutting Madotsuki. But what Omori didn’t factor in was the girl summoning (blulalala) her bicycle before the slices could hit her. She quickly rode away from the slasher. He stopped the attack, landed and looked at the evading girl. He started running after her, wanting to punish Madotsuki for taking him away from his friends. The girl looked back and saw the boy walking after her. It seemed evasion wasn’t an option; she’d have to fight. Madotsuki turned her bike around and peddled it at Omori.
BAM!
The bicycle rammed into the boy, the spinning tired doing a number to his chest. As Madotsuki rode, she saw her bike heading towards a green gate and passed through it.
The world was an endless back, filled with cubes, rectangular prisms, and shapes that didn’t have common names to describe them; Block World. As she passed through, Madotsuki stopped her bicycle, launching Omori away and into a cube’s wall. He inhaled and exhaled from the painful attack. Ready to send him back to where he came from, Madotsuki switched to her knife and rushed at Omori.
The boy saw the attack coming and rolled out of the way, leaving her knife jammed into the block
SLICE!
He used this opening to attack Madotsuki, who was pushed back by the slice..
SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH!
Each cut was stronger yet slower than the one after, but they still hit Madotsuki. That was until Omori was preparing to finish the combo. As he aimed his knife, Madotsuki disappeared out of thin air. Omori was surprised as his knife had gone through nothing--
Blulalala.
Omori heard the sound effect and turned around, seeing Madotsuki on top of one of the cubes. She’d gone from a traffic light on her head to dressing in robes with a pale face.
yuki-onna. She raised her hands and a giant snowstorm formed. The flakes appeared lightning fast, and all went down onto Omori, blinding him with the snow.
The stoplight was switched to, and activated again. Madotsuki suddenly appeared on the ground level, Omori barely seeing anything in the storm.
However, he still had ears
🔔Ring ring🔔
Omori recognized a bicycle’s bell. He knew Madotsuki was planning on running a speeding bicycle on him once again, so, as the vehicle approached, he reached for a book. A book on sad poetry. The speeding bicycle came closer to Omori, who wasn’t even looking in her direction. He knew Madotsuki could still hear his voice....
"Life’s but a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
The heated Madotsuki no longer felt angry and fearful. A blue outline surrounded her as she kept peddling, and she started to feel SAD.
Omori turned to where he’d heard the bell and saw the source of it going much slower. Slow enough for him to draw his knife and SLICED. The bike’s tire popped, sending it flying. Madotsuki dismounted from the ruined transport and fell onto the ground.
