Take-Over: A BFB/TPOT AU

Chapter 56: Frustrations Arise

Book & Bottle

"Why hello there, Book!" Bottle exclaimed as she and Book stood up. Both of them had been paired together because of 4 and were now linked to each other by a teal bracelet on one another's wrist. They were standing around in a desert area, where a slight wind was blowing. Book gave her a slight smile and greeted her, soon unwrapping the gift. Bottle looked at her questioningly.

"You're already opening it?" Bottle asked. Book nodded and pulled out the same device that the objects from the previous chapter had. A square device with an antenna on the side; a bright marker labeled with an object beeped loudly as the marker moved. Bottle began to unwrap hers as well, while Book mutter to herself.

"Naily huh..."

Bottle couldn't see what Book's device showed, but she heard her mention Naily's name, which was weird. Huh, why would Book mention Naily's name? That's so random. Were they on the same team? Maybe they had worked together, and she missed her. Or maybe-

"Who'd you get on your tracker Bottle?" The glass object looked up, confused by her statement.

"Huh? What tracker?" She could see Book take in a deep breath before explaining.

"That's what Four gave us, a tracker of another contestant. I got Naily, who did you get?"

Ohhhh, THAT'S why she mentioned Naily. Feeling slightly embarrassed, she finished opening her box and pulled out the tracker. David was who she got, the tracker slowly moving across a rather open area, with only a few trees here and there.

"I got David." David, Bottle thought to herself with a bit of dislike. She considered herself a pretty peaceful and positive person. There were few that she disliked, and David hadn't been one originally.

Originally. When David originally arrived, he'd somehow managed to threaten her with a sickle, tried to kill her TWICE with said sickle, and killed Pen, one of her closest friends. Pen. She thought of him sadly and couldn't believe she wouldn't see him ever again.

"Where is he?"

Why does David hate me so much? Did I ever offend him? Maybe I did, and I never noticed! That's probably why he targeted me so much.

"Bottle?"

"Huh?" Bottle looked up and saw that Book was basically in front of her, spooking the flask.

"Ah!" She stumbled back, falling onto the desert sand. Book leaned over her, a worried expression on her face.

"Sorry Bottle! Are you okay?" Book offered her hand as Bottle struggled to get up. Bottle, however, ignores the gesture.

"It's fine Book! I was just thinking about something and got carried away ha-ha..." She tried to get up again, stretching her arms in front of her to try and get up. She struggles to get up with this tactic, and her embarrassment grows every time she fails to get up. After a minute or two, she stops trying and looks at Book, her face red with an awkward smile.

"Could you uh, could you help me?" Book gives her a tight smile and helps her up, brushing sand off her.

"There we go, all better! Now, where's David?"

"He's in this plains area. There's like, barely any trees near it!"

"Plains? Barely any trees?" Bottle saw as Book looked at her own monitor and watched as she slowly smiled.

"Naily's there too! I think they're together." Bottle gave her a confused look.

"Didn't they get paired up like we did?"

Book looked at her with bewildered eyes. "They did?" Bottle nodded.

"Yeah, so it makes sense that they're in the same area. We were, so that means-"

"You're right, silly me. So, now what? We know where David and Naily are, what do we do with that?" Book interrupted.

Book looked at Bottle, waiting for her to say something. The glass cylinder didn't say anything looking, down at her feet while she thought about it. What would they do with that information?

"U-uh...I'm not sure. What do YOU think we should do Book?" Bottle said awkwardly. Book looked slightly prideful as she explained what she thought they should do.

"Well, it's an obvious answer, no? THEY want us to kill the objects they give us," she said as she pointed to Naily and David's markers.

"However, we will NOT do that. Instead, we'll use these trackers to avoid them!" She finished her explanation with her eyes closed and a victorious smile. Bottle tilted her body in confusion.

"Avoid them?"

"Yup! Out of all the objects left, we're one of the weakest. They have Naily, and while she is on par with us, David's a wild card. I haven't seen him in action, but he's always been an enigma."

Bottle thought back to how he killed Pen and how he seemed to move in less than a second to kill her. He definitely had more strength than Bottle. Book coughed loudly and Bottle turned to her.

"So, is that settled?" Bottle thought about the plan before nodding.

"Sounds good.

David & Naily

David gritted his teeth as Naily talked on and on about her feelings. He couldn't believe how much an object could talk till now! He thought Coiny was bad, but he paled in comparison to how chatty Naily was. They were walking in an open area, with a tree every 10 miles.

"...for what, a year at this point?! I mean, I don't really know since I haven't been keeping count, but this is nuts! I can't believe he actually had us fight to the death. I mean, we died like all the time on BFB and TPOT, but this is different! He's not respawning us! I can't believe that I'll never see some of my friends ever again. At least..."

Oh, how he missed Coiny. Despite the two ending on rocky terms, David deeply missed the coin's company. He might've been talkative, but at least some of the things he said were interesting. Naily? He could listen to her and wouldn't bat an eye once. He breathed in deeply, walking faster. Naily kept up with him, although you could hear her breathe heavier.

"Aw seriously..."

Beep!

Naily stopped talking (FINALLY, David thought.) as a noise went off in the gift Four gave them. David took out the package from his bag and unwrapped it quickly. Soon, he found the square box that showed the tracker of Coiny. Coiny! David felt himself smile at the appearance of the coin. He looked around Coiny and saw that he was going into a swampy area, which was on the other side of the map. He hears Naily gasp behind him, causing him to turn around and look at Naily's screen.

"Bomby?"

Naily's face lit up as she saw her partner safe, walking in a swampy area. He's safe! Thank Goiky... She hears a cough in front of her and looks up; David looking at her screen with an awkward look. He puts his screen in front of Naily, and she looks at what it shows. Is that Coiny? She sees him also going into the swampy area, albeit far away from where Bomby is. She could see David signal to her, moving his arms around wildly. She tilted her head in confusion.

"I uh...I have no idea what you're saying."

Great. David slaps a hand onto his forehead. This is going to be sooo great.
