Take-Over: A BFB/TPOT AU

Chapter 57: Complaints in Teammates

Eraser & Bomby

"So, Gaty or Bottle?"

Bomby felt his skin prick as Eraser said those words. 

Gaty or Bottle?

He looked back down at his device; Bottle's bubbly grin and sweet smile looking back at him from a desert area. He gripped his device harder, gulping nervously.

Gaty or Bottle?

"Hello? You there?"

Bomby didn't want to kill anybody. Yes, he killed people prior already, but for some reason this felt different. They were down to the final 8 people...So many of them had died already... He looked back up at Eraser, whose grin had turned into a frown of annoyance. He knew Eraser wanted his answer already, but he just couldn't bring himself to think of one. Both Bottle and Gaty hadn't done anything to him, so why should he kill them? You've already killed people before Bomby, this'll just be the same. Right? 

"Okay, since you CLEARLY don't want to kill anybody, I say we go for Bottle." Eraser said smoothly. No hesitance, no thinking, just straight up said who HE wanted to kill. 

"W-Why Bottle?" 

"Just 'cause." 

"Just...'Cause?" 

"Yeah. Bottle seems like she'd be easier than Gaty to deal with, especially with how friendly she is," he shrugs.
"She'll probably be greeting us with a long speech or something and BAM!" He slams a fist on his palm.
"We get rid of her and her partner."

"Oh. I guess you have a point..." Bomby quietly said. 

"I know I do." Eraser said smugly with a grin. He spun his knife in his hand before catching it dramatically. 

"Now, is she still in the desert?" Bomby looked back down at his device. Bottle was moving, thought it was slowly. She was still in the middle of the desert area, but now slightly more north than she was last time. 

"Yeah. They look like they're going up towards a different area." Eraser nodded his head, putting his right hand under his mouth to think.

"North...Where are we compared to them?"

Bomby zoomed out, looking at the full semi-circle area. Bottle was actually moving closer to them by going north, with their area being north-east of where Bottle and her partner was.

"We're kind of close...If we keep going west, we'll see them."

Eraser nods again, a smirk growing wider on his face.

"Kind of close...Great."

He put his hands together and turned to Bomby, a confident look on his face.

"Then we're going to go west until we find Bottle, and once we do, we'll off her and her partner. Sounds like a plan?"

Eraser extended his hand once again, and Bomby hesitantly raised his hand.

"...Deal."

Coiny & Gaty

Coiny wanted to fall on the ground and scream. He'd been running around for a while, trying to find Eraser. However, he accidentally misinterpreted the map and read it wrong. The swamp and the mountain didn't share a border, and there was a whole other area between the two! How could he have been so short-minded? He finally stopped, putting his hands on his knees as he breathed in heavily. He was in a desert area now, and all he saw was sand, sand, and more sand. There was an occasional cactus, though, which was nice. He looked back at the tracker, and he felt a twinge of relief once he saw that Eraser was moving towards the desert area himself.

"Whew! That makes things easier..."

Coiny stood up and stretched, looking around at his surroundings again. Yep, there was still only sand for miles...How big did 4 ACTUALLY make these areas? He walked at a slow pace, tranquilly walking along. He'd find Eraser soon, so he might as well take a break. He thought about the other challengers while he walked. So..It's me, Gaty, Eraser, David, Book, Bottle, and... He frowned as he struggled to remember who else was left. There was eight people left, right? How many people did he name? Me, one, Gaty, two, Eraser, three, David, four, Book, five, and Bottle, 6...Who am I missing? He soon found himself aimlessly walking, racking his mind, trying to remember who was left. Come on, use your head! Who else was there? He groans and puts his hands behind his head, giving up on the idea and looking around to see if the scenery had changed at all.

"Nope... Still just sand...This is so dumb."

He felt his stomach grumbling and he put a hand to it quickly, his eyes widening as he realized how hungry he was. When's the last time he ate? He looked in his bag and found a protein bar, a somewhat brown banana, and a bag of chips. He frowned at the low rations and slowly took out the banana, unraveling it. Luckily, the banana flesh was still light yellow, and he began to eat slowly. 

"Mm, stupid 4...Stupid challenge..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gaty kicked a tree in frustration. Was Coiny crazy? Splitting up?! Now she was on the mountain, alone as she sat down underneath a tree.

"Hah...Great. This is great! I might as well just wait for Coiny to kill me now."

She continued to complain to herself, her mutters steadily growing louder. After a while of complaining, she stood up and started her decline down the mountain again, a frown still on her face. Oh, she didn't like anything right now. Didn't like the new challenge that 4 put, didn't like how Coiny straight up left her, and especially didn't like how slow she was going right now. She started to walk more quickly, wishing that 4 wasn't the one manning the challenge. She thought to the other algebralien, 2. How was he doing now? Gaty let her mind wander to the old TPOT host, wishing that he was the one in charge instead. 

For one, everybody would be safe and alive somewhere. She felt a moment of dread as she realized that. Everybody....was dead. And if they weren't dead, they were a zombie or something. 2 wouldn't have let that be the case, he'd try to respawn them at least! Or not make them walk around like mindless zombies. the more she thought positively of 2, the angrier she became at 4. 

4. The host of BFB, the chaotic, mood-swinging, sadistic host. She frowned as she remembered their lack of empathy when the challenge started, how they were treating them as just objects used for their entertainment. Actually, she wouldn't be surprised if that was all they DID see them for. Their sick, perpetual smile...X wasn't much better honestly. While she had to give them credit for not being the one to physically harm them and not being the one to come up with the challenge, that's all she could give them. They still let 4 play with them, their lives, and they didn't lift a finger to any of it. They just looked at them sadly, and that infuriated Gaty.

Was that supposed to be X's compensation? A sad smile that said they were sorry for them? She walked rather angrily now, her body slightly leaning forward. She was going to find Coiny now, no matter how much she hated his idea, she knew better than to be petty and separate from him like he did. She thought back to Book, whose marker was on the tracker that remained hidden in her bag. Book, the one who destroyed her team again, yet was her only real ally probably in this game. She sighed and walked faster, determined to find Coiny before any bad could come to him.

No New Dead/Infected Characters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whoops, I didn't update for 3 months again.
I uh, I don't think I'm that interested in object shows anymore, but I'll still update. There'll just be a lot of inconsistencies since I forgot how most of these characters acted and how the map is laid out. Speaking of, I should probably explain that.

The map is in a semi or half-circle shape and is split into 4 equal parts. The first area, which is the part on the bottom/far left is the area where it's only plains. That's where Naily and David are. Next to that is the mountain area where Coiny was and Gaty is now. Next to that is the desert area where Book, Bottle, and Coiny are. And finally, there's a swampy area where Eraser and Bomby are.

Thanks for reading.
