Sanctuary (TPOT/BFB Horror Story)

Aftermath Actions

Panting, groaning, crying. That's all that was heard within the hotel as the contestants attempted to process what had just happened. Coiny and Donut still held the doors shut, making sure Barf Bag barricaded them properly.

"Alright, that's the last one Gaty."

"Thanks, Coiny, you too Donut."

"Don't worry about it, we did what we could to help."

Dora put down everyone as they recovered from their near-death experience.

"AW SERIOUSLY?!"

"It's all good Roboty. We're mechanical minds! We got to stick together!"

"Remote's right."

"Ahem?"

"Huh?"

"Don't you have something else to say TV?"

"Oh, yeah. Roboty, I'm truly sorry for leaving you behind. What I did was completely on me and could have gotten you all killed."

"Thanks a bunch, Roboty."

Needle collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted from saving as many people as she could.

"Dadadadadadadadadada?"

"I'm...fine, Dora. Thanks for your help again, couldn't have done it without you."

"Dadada!"

Lightning floated in a corner alone, he was still in complete disarray witnessing Black Hole's demise. 

How was it possible? Black Hole was the strongest contestant there was. And now, he's gone.

"It's happening again."

Liy turned her head to see Lighting with his hands on his head.

"Our team is dropping like flies, AGAIN! All my friends are dying around me, and I can't do anything about it other than watch and cry!"

Tree stepped in and grabbed his shoulder, comforting the saddened teammate. 

"Don't worry Lighting, be thankful you made it out of that alive. Some of us weren't so lucky."

Tree turned to the still unconscious Stapy and Marker, covered in rubble and smoke from the recovery center's destruction. Liy sat by Tree and Lighting, staring out at the 59 others she was locked in with.

"You know Lightning, I was the first one out on my team, I never got to see Death PACT flourish, never got to see the new members, the new friends, the saved lives, any of it. While I am thankful to have spent time with Stapy, Pencil, and all of my other fellow EXITors, it was Death PACT I missed the most, I missed saving lives. Missed being with my team. During my time in the EXIT, even surrounded by new friends, I held on to the small amount I had with my team."

Lightning shot up, getting in Liy's way.

"What's your point here?! We've lost 2 members already, possibly forever, and one is unconscious, and you want to go into your backstory?!"

"Lightning, my point is, even though we've lost Black Hole and Pie, know that you will never, ever, be alone. Even if, somehow, more of us start to die, know that we will all be with you. I want you to hold on to the memories of Black Hole and Pie, cherish them. And if anything bad happened to the rest of us, cherish our memories too."
