Enemies With The Shadows

Chapter Twenty-Two - Helpful Creation

“Mark it’s been quite a while.” Alex said, annoyed. “How long does it take to find me a-”
“Sidekick?” Mark chuckled. “Who said I was just finding you someone?” He began to walk to his abandoned hospital, beckoning for Alex to follow. “So you didn’t find me one?” Alex asked.
“I didn’t just find you some guy. You know me, I gotta do as much as I can.” Mark smiled, leading Alex to a room in the hospital. “I think you’ll like this guy.”

“What the fuck is that..?” Alex asked, a little concerned, taking a step back.
“Once known as-” Mark began, before getting cut off.
“Wait that was actually a person?!?”
“Yes! How many times do I have to go over this?” Mark sighed. “Now, can I introduce you to him or no?”
“Fine yeah whatever.” Alex said, shifting a bit.
“Thank you.” Mark cleared their throat. “Once known as Charlie, now known as Slimecicle. Made now of pure sentient slime, nothing else. The lack of bones make him flexible and able to slide through and under doors.”
“Jesus.. Was the process to make him… this. Was it painful?”
“Probably.” Mark shrugged. “But he can’t feel pain anymore!”
“Is that meant to make it better??”
“Yeah. Now let’s wake him up.”

The green pile of slime, Slimecicle, slowly woke up, piling himself up in the shape of a human, looking at Mark. “Hello Ranboo!” He said, happily.
“Hello Slimecicle.” Mark nodded. “Slimecicle, meet Quackity.”
“Quackity?” Slime turned to Alex, blankly staring at him for about a minute, before smiling again. “Hello Quackity!” Slime smiled.
“Hello.. Slimecicle….” Alex hesitantly replied.
“Slimecicle,” Mark started, causing Slime to turn back to him. “You’ll be working for and with Quackity from now on! How does that sound?”
“I get to work with Quackity?!?” Slime asked, highly excited.
“Yep! Isn’t that right, Quackity?” Mark said, turning to Quackity.
“Yeah..” Quackity mumbled, side-eyeing Slimecicle.
