Sanctuary (TPOT/BFB Horror Story)

Prologue: The Case of the Missing 24

TPOT has been going strong, Two has been hosting phenomenally, and the EXITors and post-split contestants have been granted access to roam the New Grasslands and interact with the contestants.  At this stage in the game, Two has decided it is the perfect time to announce a rejoin event.

"Attention everyone! I have a special announcement! It's time for a rejoin event! One contestant who was previously eliminated will now rejoin the game! As well, a failed debuter from the beginning of the season will ALSO be joining us!"

Clamor erupts amongst the contestants, everyone hoping for a different contestant to rejoin. 

"I hope it's Naily! I miss my best friend, and it'll be great to see her again!" Bomby excitingly claimed. 

"I for one hope for Remote, it will be great to regain a Death PACT member after our horrible losses."

"Yeah? And then instantly lose her again? No thanks Tree."

"Well, who do YOU have in mind then Price Tag?"

"I'm going with Bomby on this one, Naily will be a perfect contestant to have back! As for the RCs, I'd love to see Avocado join!" 

Two silenced the crowd, getting excited by the sheer idea of a debut challenge, before clapping his hands and magically bringing back all the eliminated contestants.

"Oh, my tater! We're finally out!" Fries was the first one to show his joy of being free.

"Man, how long have we been in there for?" Foldy questioned as the rest of the eliminated contestants ran to their friends, Naily to Bomby and Price Tag, Cloudy to Balloony, etc. 

"Yo, Foldy!" A familiar voice rang out.

"Stapy?! It's you! I haven't seen you in years! It's so good to finally see you again!" Foldy rushed to her best friend, as Stapy gave her a hug.

"Boy I've got stories to tell you Foldy! Me, Liy, and the rest of us had some crazy adventures in Four's head!"

"I'm sure! I'll tell you all about where we were after! I got to say it was NOT what I was expecting, it had..."

"FOLDY!"

Marker gave a bear hug to Stapy and Foldy, "It's so good to have us 3 reunited at last!"

"You betcha Marker! We can play all the Rock, Paper, Scissors you could possibly dream of!"

"Well, you all are going to have to hold off on that, because we've got a rejoin event to get to! Now to get the debuters!" 

Two claps their hands.

*CLAP CLAP*

Nothing.

*CLAP CLAP*

Nothing again.

"What in the? Why isn't this working? They should have teleported out! Everyone, give me one second. It appears my powers aren't working as they should, I'll just get the contestants manually."

Two enters the hotel, this lone structure is the vast Grassland, and the only source of shelter for these contestants, before suddenly remerging with no debuters.

"Something's wrong. None of the debuters are in the hotel. And I can't seem to teleport them."

"WELL, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!" Robot Flower aggressively asked, still trapped with Flower's BFDI personality.

"Well, I could do the rejoin with JUST the eliminated players, but that wouldn't be very fair to the others! When was the last time any of you saw them?"

TV created an alarm sound, getting everyone's attention. "I saw both Disc and Rubber Spatula last night, both heading towards the lobby of the hotel, I didn't think much of it, they were probably hungry."

Golf Ball suddenly rushed past the crowd and towards the Recovery Center, TB following behind confused. 

"Golf Ball, what are you doing? And why are you being so rude to the others! You could just ASK them to get out of the way you know."

"Bah! As if I'd waste my breathe on that. I'm trying to recover Disc and Rubber Spatula, in case some sort of freak accident occurred and killed all of them."

As Golf Ball entered Disc's name, the Recovery Center didn't start. She tried Rubber Spatula. the same result. She did the same thing for every single debutor, but nothing. They were all alive. Somewhere.

"Well, what are we supposed to do? Cancel the rejoin?" Cloudy approached Two, before Fries cut in.

"I AM NOT GOING BACK! I CAN'T! PLEASE JUST MAKE IT SO TWO OF US REJOIN!"

"Calm down Fries! Listen, I understand your eagerness to rejoin the battle, but those guys are JUST as important, and for some reason, they have ALL vanished. So, with this is mind, I am putting TPOT on hiatus indefinitely!"

"WHAT?!", everyone said unanimously, equally outraged. 

"I HATE WHEN COMPETITONS ARE PUT ON HIATUS! I HATE WAITING!" Fanny screamed at the top of her lungs.

"You said it Fanny, the absolute nerve!", Snowball appeared from behind Fanny, putting his arm around her.

"I understand the frustration people, but I can't just forget about these guys! Four! X! Announcer! Purple Face!"

All 4 of BFB's hosts appeared.

"How can we help you?", Announcer asked in his robotic text-to-speech voice. 

 Purple Face approached Two, "YEAH! I would LOVE to why you called us all away from our planning!"

"Listen fellas, I could use your help. My failed debutors just went missing. I could use all of your help to find them."

X was the first one to agree, being quite cheerful over the idea. "Okay! We would love to come and help you!"

Four however, was not as convinced. "You expect ME to you solve YOUR problems? In your dreams!"

"Uhm, well...yeah? Kind of?"

X grabbed Four's arm as they attempted to leave, "Four! We can't just leave those guys out there! They could use our help! Please? It would be fun!"

"Yeah, I agree with my yellow pal, come on Four. Let's go on this quest.", Announcer said in agreement.

"Well, uh, okay fine. Only because majority rules, I'll come with you guys."

 X jumped, joyful to have Four agree. "YIPEEE!"

"Then it's settled! Me, Four, X, Announcer, and Purple Face will be heading out to find our missing friends!"

 Gaty ran up to Two, still confused over the whole situation, "Two! What about the rest of us? What are we all supposed to do?"

"Oh, well that's easy. Just enjoy each other's company! There's plenty of food in the kitchen. Just look after each other. Besides, it's been a while since most of you have seen each other, use this time to reconnect! We will all be back in about 2 weeks!"

"Farewell Two! Safe travels!", Bottle said in her usual cheerful tone.

"See you all later! We'll be back before you know it!"

Little did Bottle and the rest of the contestants know, but they would never see their beloved hosts like this ever again....

Ta-da! Here's my brand-new story: Sanctuary! I want to say a couple of things before heading out. First and foremost, my rewrite of Post-Split has been shelved, I have no plans to continue it, simply because lack of motivation. So, really sorry about that.

Secondly, Sanctuary has made because I am honestly not particularly happy with how Massacre turned out in the end, and I wanted to create a new story, attempting to improve off of my very first story, and give you all a story you can actually being interested in. 

Next chapter will be out by the end of the weekend. See you then, and enjoy the show!
