~Experimental~ /~A TPOT AU~\

~Part 11~ Pt 1...Continuous Nightmare

Tennis Ball sat on the corner of his bed contemplating. "What. . . is happening. . .?" He asked. "These nightmares are getting worse each day. . .*Sighs* Time for sulking in the bathroom.." He said, getting up to go into the bathroom.

While in the bathroom, splashing water on his face. Then staring himself in the mirror, seeing a weird version of him in his reflection for a split second. Making Tennis Ball feel more unease.

He then sees the same demon version of himself, slowly exiting the hallway and into the bathroom. TB swiftly turned to see, ended up seeing nothing but the quiet kitchen. TB leaned against the sink sighing. "Screw this, I'm going outside..." He said, walking out the apartment door.

Once he stepped outside, the grass suddenly turned into bloody grass blades for a split second, startling TB enough to make him almost trip, but still standing. He's lucky he isn't getting weird looks, since only a few groups of objects were out.

TB looked to his left, seeing Golf Ball sitting under a tree with Pen, Fries, Eraser, and oddly Basketball. In an instant, he mentally saw their corpses and pools of their blood on the grass. 'I might be insane... But.. I'm not getting any looks or whispers.. So.. Must be fine..' He thought, walking towards to the rest of his team. 

Once he got closer, he realizes that Basketball was comforting GB, who's still slightly paranoid. He can't help but feel jealous, he repressed the feeling within him, still walking to the group.

"H-hey.." TB greeted. Basketball pulled GB closer out of instinct, she's not trusting anyone at this point, especially after Snowball's disappearance two weeks ago. "Hey.. TB..." GB said weakly, sounding like she had been crying. "What are you doing here?" Eraser asked, moving a bit to let TB sit along with them under the wispy green tree.

"Y'know, just needed more fresh air, after building stuff in my lab.." TB nervously said. "What were you building?. . ." Basketball said, not having any of it. "Self defense inventions, it's for the sudden disappearances around here..." TB responded.

"It's true," Pen said. "He gave me one." TB sighed quietly in relief, satisfied that Pen has some form of trust in him... All part of the plan....

Basketball still isn't having it, pulling GB closer to her, but her face softened slightly. The five hanged out for a while before disbanding, Basketball still by GB's side. TB stared at Basketball from afar, he wanted to comfort her, he's usually there for her... He needed to release his anger...

He then saw Naily, lying down on the grass, kicking her foot while scrolling on her Tumblr app. There's his chance... With pure insanity creeping up inside him, he lunges at Naily, capturing her then knocking her out with sheer force.

The bushes rustled, teams Death P.A.C.T Again and Just Not (besides Pillow) appeared from the bushes. "He's the one!" Fanny yelled. "Get him!"

Tennis ball ran into the factory, an unconscious Naily on his head while the two teams are on his tail. Nickel tripped, causing him to roll down the stairs of the factory. TB and the two teams finally descended the stairs. "Get away... I... I can kill you all if I had too!.." TB shakily said. "we're not gonna hurt you." Tree said. "Just set Naily down, and we can settle this properly."

"No... You're not getting me that easily..." TB responded. "Pillow!" Tree's eyes widened when hearing the name of his past team member. "No.. Pillow isn't that-..." 

Pillow entered the room, holding the corpse of Saw by her pink handle. "Need anything, Tennis Ball?" "Help me annihilate them..." TB requested. Pillow looked upon the two teams, her innocent smile growing. "Of course... How else am I supposed to end this team dispute?. . ."
