The Real Virtuality

Don't lose hope just yet

The group was spawned back in the lobby with credits rolling and a "thanks for playing" title. They finaly reached the end of this crazy adventure. The room was filled with photos of other players reaching this end and posing in funny and weird ways. There wasn't a way out of the end room, they would've need to rejoin. Lost sighed in relief as he got up "Now it's over. Fucking Christ. Now I think it would be time to-" he was cut off by Weeb screaming in terror as she was looking up at him. If he could see her expression, it would be of dead horror, like if she would've seen a ghost. "Whats wro-" soon he was seeing the world in red, wiping it off his eyes to see it was actual blood. His heart skipped a beat before he heard a thud on the floor. Weeb basically fell to the floor aswell trying not to vomit. Mousey's body was on the floor headless this time. Lost stared speechless before he started to panic "no. No no no! Fuck fuck fuck!" He looked around panicking before setting a portal down and quickly going through with her body as he told Weeb to follow in.

Soon upon arriving in another world, it was back to her usual rest area. She was blooding basically all over the place. He placed her on the bed not having a god damn clue on what to do. "L-lost what do we do!?" "I don't know! She lost her head! I have no clue if this regrows or not!" He sounded on the urge of tears. "I'll be right back. If others come here, tell them what happened." He placed a blanket over her as to not look at the place where he head would be missing. It was quite a horrible view. He went into the afk position before getting on the phone with someone.

Weeb called Jack over, as she was sobbing heavily and needed him to be close. She wasn't really there at any other times this kind of stuff happened so it was quite a shock. As for Malt..he was still there, in the corner of the room holding his head as he was left in a state of shock and dread. It didn't seem like he was responsive or anything. When Jack asked him a question it didn't seem like he could hear him.

Late and eiichi Joined in since Jack had messaged them to get on for an urgency matter. "What happened!?" Eiichi asked in panic. They both stopped in their tracks to seeing the bed with a blanket over mousey that was just drenched in blood at this point. "What happened this time..!?" Eiichi went over worried. "Jack, Weeb. This might be a shock to you both but we promise, this isn't the first time that she's lost a limb, don't worry it regrow- "her head is gone." Late stopped in his speech looking over to eiichi who had look under the blanket "what." "Her head is gone, late." Eiichi turned around with sobs in between those words as he hid himself in a hug. Late was left speechless too now. Her head gone? This is worse than I expected. Can it regrows? It needs too. It has too. Weeb softly spoke through her cries "we were playing a game..the forest..it wasn't supposed to have anything dangerous, just exploring. In the end we found an underground lab thingy...and well we got chased..we thought we got out but it's one of those games where it doesn't let you win..and well it chomped at us. Mousey was on Lost's shoulders so we couldn't lose her again..she got her head bit right off.." they were all left speechless.

There were a few faint grunting in the corner. Late turned to see that Malt was curled up in the corner holding his head. That troubled shocked face of his was not something I've seen before. "Eiichi, go see your father, he needs you and you need him." He whispered to him. Eiichi nodded before quickly rushing over to Malt. "P-papa?.." He flinched hearing the words come out of eiichi's mouth before he looked up. That expression was a pity to look at. It looked like a helpless lost child that just witnessed they're own parents die. Just speechless, terrified, lost in thoughts that can't even think straight, unable to accept that they might lose something important. He could barely get a word out. Malt just grabbed Eiichi pulling them into a close hug, like he was afraid of loosing them too. Late went over aswell and sat down next to them pulling them both in a hug.

They stayed like this in silent for a while before Malt screamed in a jolt of pain as his body glitched. It only made his head hurt worse. Late and eiichi were confused and kept asking what was wrong. He couldn't respond. Those jolt of pain happened Atleast 2 more times before they stopped happening. The demon was exhausted, tears rolling down his cheeks. Usualy he would hide his face when he's like this but since his TV broke, he couldn't hide anymore.

Lost came back from the phone call as he cleared his throat. His voice was quiet and shaky but less panicky. "So..I called the hospital to check up on her. They said I did a good thing to call because they were loosing her. She's stabled now. My guess is that we will just need to wait to see if she comes back to us here. I just want you all to be reassured that she's okay so don't lose hopes alright?"

"That's great to know..thank you lost" Late responded as he rubbed Malt's back to ease his pain. It felt like Lost wanted to ask something but stopped himself as it wasn't probably the right time to do so. Everyone was staying silent. Only the birds outside the room from the world's background sound was being heard. Lost stayed by the bed with Jack and Weeb as Eiichi and Late stayed by Malt. It wasn't sure if Malt was asleep or just resting his eyes but nobody wanted to wake him up. Late knew why he was so scared. Why he wasn't talking or moving. At this point, Malt was horrified to be erased if she dies.
