Pip's eyes flutter open, finding himself to be surrounded by lava and red rock. His eyes widen, and he shoots up from his lying position. Oh dear, where am I?! He thought, feeling a little dizzy. He looked around.
There were rocks and sand all around him, and everything had some red tint to it. He felt a sharp pain in his back as he adjusted himself.
The last thing I remember is running from that robot. Wait- then I- Pip blinked a couple times when he realized what this meant. He was in Hell.
He stood up, stumbling a bit, but quickly regained his balance on the dark sand. Hell? Me, the boy who does everything in his power to help those around me, in Hell? He wiped his eyes, trying to make sense of it all. What evil have I ever committed to end up like this?!
As Pip walked, he grazed his hand along the rigid rocks that the wall was made of. His back still hurt like hell, but he was determined to get out of this weird area.
He made it out of the hallway, and was greeted with lava, bloodshed, and the cries of sinners. Pip furrowed his eyebrows. So many people, all damned down here.. He could feel himself tearing up.
There was a crowd in front of a lava pool, and there were a few people being tortured above the lava. They were being poked and prodded at by the crowd.
Pip's eyes glazed over everyone in the area, trying to find anyone he might recognize. Yet, there was nobody. It's not like he was expecting to see anyone he knew here, he wasn't very acquainted with sinners.
Near the 'shore', I guess you'd call it, there was a person lying on the ground. They looked burnt up, like a raisin. They did not move an inch. A part of Pip wanted to try and help them, but he couldn't get over the smell of rotten corpse as he approached. Be let out a grunt of disgust, and continued on his path, in search of any sign of recognition.
On his walk, he came across many crowds, many people just walking around looking absolutely miserable. He also saw houses, and shops. They all looked run-down, but he was surprised they were standing in the first place.
When he felt his breath getting heavy, he stopped, pressing his hands on his knees as he bent down slightly. Though he could feel how hot the sand was through his shoes, he took a seat on the ground.
Pip brings his knees to his chest, hugging them. I don't belong here. He sniffles, and presses his palms into his eyes. I just wish I was anywhere else. I have nowhere to go, I'm so helpless.. His thoughts are interrupted by someone yelling. Not in pain, though. The voice sounded familiar to Pip. And.. It was saying his name? His first name at that, not the childhood nickname he was given. Pip's head shoots up when the voice becomes clear.
"Phillip!" The red haired gentleman ran over, with a big smile on his face. "Pocket?" Pip mumbled in surprise.

Ahh I love this little duo, they make me so happy. I'm really surprised I haven't seen much ship art of them though (not that I ship them).
I put in the description that this was kinda inspired by Hell Park- it's also inspired by this TikTok Dip comic. I literally love it 😵 If you're liking this so far you should read the comic, its on this person's account, in their 'Dip comic <33' playlist: '@fluffylucifxr'
