*M*

Apparently the news about something happening to Yellow Leader has gotten out to the public, I let out a sigh.

"That's the tenth time today that you've sighed, if you sigh again I'm going to start drinking every time you do." The Professor says.

"Please Don't." I say glaring slightly at the professor.

"Bleg," He sticks his tongue out at me, "You ain't no fun." I roll my eyes before rubbing my head.

"Professor Please, Just-" His hand claps over my mouth as he stares at me. :/

Fine he wants to play that game then so be it. I lick his hand causing him to pull away and look at his hand before looking at me again. "AHG?" He goes and aggressively rubs where I licked off on his coat.

Heh Heh. Sabre taught me that trick! :D

"Eh, Why are you laughing? Stop Laughing!" He looks at me, failing at hiding his own smile. The Assistant watches from where he stood, something flickered in the robot's eyes.

I feel the stress of being the new Red Leader disappear. That must've been the Professor's plan after all, he seemed to watch me untense. The Professor leans against the wall before grinning.

"Wait Professor NO!" The wall beside him explodes and he runs out. "Professor!" I ran after the Professor, not noticing the Assistant glitch.

*Orange Leader*

I sit on a chair in my room looking at old pictures. I stare at the image of my fellow Orange Steves, not just any but: Happy, Funny, Shy before he became Light, Orange before everything, Loud, Nerdy, and Chill. I stare at the image and keep staring before looking away and blinking away the tears that threaten to come from my eyes. I can't cry, I can't mourn, I'm the leader and I can't let my guard down... I couldn't protect my own people.... I miss everything from before. I look at the image and put it carefully in my pocket.

Time to get Leadering! Leadering? What? Heehee, I'm not mentally okay.... I need to talk to the Green Leader.

I sprint out of my room and down the hall towards where the Green Leader is possibly at. The guards are unfazed by my sprinting form. They've gotten so used to me and Light just straight up sprinting around the citadel and other buildings.

I open the door to Green's room. "GREEN!" Green spins on his heel, almost dropping the plant he was holding.

"Orange stop doing that!" He exclaims, setting down the plant. Green's room was kinda a greenhouse. Green sighs before facing me once again. "Is there something you need?"

I just stand there awkwardly before giving him a wave before going to turn away.

He rushes forward grabbing me by the back of my shirt. "Sit down over there... Right now..." He says before letting go. I go sit on his bed and watch as he shuts his door. He walks over and sits next to me. "What is it that you need to talk about?"

"I..." I glanced over at him, he wasn't looking at me, "I don't do anything correctly..." I say before looking forward again.

"We do our best." He says softly.

"Our Best Isn't Enough!" I snap out, making him flinch. "Our best will never be enough..." I look down, tears finally making their appearance.

"Orange..." Green says, I look up to see tears in his eyes as well. He opens his arms and I push myself into his arms. All we do is sit there hugging and crying, unable to make words form.

*Violet Leader*

The people are furious and no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to calm them. Some Steves had to be apprehended. I duck as a stone flies almost hits me. The guards that flanked me grabbed who threw the stone. The Steve, an Orange, my vision blurs and I press a hand to my head as dizziness appears.
