Rush raced through the empty hallways at intense speed, anger making him go faster. This wasn't the first time he had failed to kill them, and it wouldn't be the last, either. It just wasn't fair, he thought to himself. All of the other entities had some other cool ability - everyone except him. All he did was run around looking silly. Well, nearly everyone. He supposed Screech wasn't that great either. Rush dismissed the annoying thoughts from his mind and steered around a few corners, searching for his friend. However, he clearly hadn't been paying attention, and by the time he tried to adjust himself, he flew face first into a wall.
Muttering grumpily, he heaved himself from the floor to find another entity looking at him.
"Never could tell the difference between a wall and a door, could you?" Ambush sneered.
Rush glared at his friend. Sometimes he wondered how they had come to being friends in the first place.
"My head hurts," Rush muttered. "I can never think properly whenever it summons me."
"That's because you need a brain to think, stupid."
"You know what I mean."
Ambush raised a sceptical eyebrow and I couldn't help but smile. For I, the narrator, am the one who summons them. I still regard them as my employees, after all, and therefore they must do my bidding. The pale ghost of an entity helped Rush up, and gave him a long, hard stare before retreating into the hallways.
"Wait up!" the skull-faced demon followed the green haze of light into a darker room. Room 60. It holds so many memories.
Ambush sighed and turned to him. "It'll summon you any minute now. You'd better get ready."
She wasn't lying.
A moment later, pixels began to swirl around Rush and his outline began to fade. Then, in a static jolt of light, he was gone. Meanwhile, Ambush returned her focus back to the opening in the wall, and followed it to yet another room. She studied the painting for a moment.
"This painting does not seem to have a title."
Little did Mimi know that she was going to enter the Rooms later on in her journey. And little did Rush know that he had once been in here too. In the Rooms. But back then, he wasn't known as Rush.
He was known as The Smileyface Man.
