If i was in Rainbow Quest (Discontinued)

Chapter one: Castle time

Fantasy and i have been walking for a while, or, more accurately, Fantasy has been doing the walking while carrying me most of the time, since i don't have shoes on, I really should've thought of that, i had asked Fantasy if i could have a pair of the shoes they weren't using but they said that they wanted to go through with this without leaving the world more than a very few times, even if it was just for a pair of shoes,

i yawned and looked at the sky to see that the sun was setting, "Fantasy, can we set up some sort of camp and rest?" i asked, "Nah, you can just fall asleep and i'll keep going!" Fantasy replied, "I'm not that tired, i'm just asking if we can." i told them.

Fantasy just made 'mrrrrrp' sound in response and continued on.

Eventually we reached the orange village, and oh boy did it look bad, there was darkness everywhere, or well not everywhere but there was darkness! I spotted Sabre and Orange Steve standing near a big house that must be the Orange Steve Leader's house.

Nightmare Steve and Dark Steve standing there as well, Sabre sounded angry but i couldn't understand what he was saying and i realized Fantasy had stopped up,

"Shoot! I miss calculated, but it'll still work, anyways i should probably ask if you're okay with this, but, my other idea was that you joined the bad guys." Fantasy whispered to me, "...I like the idea but what if another plan is messed up or i start feeling super guilty about something." I told them.

'It would be cool to join the bad guys like i did in TFP, but i had to leave early since my plan there was absolutely failing and i feel a bit guilty for leaving at such short notice.' "You could do the whole spy thing you did in TFP! Or something else... Or i could join them instead, but..." Fantasy glanced at some darkness on the ground,

"It's reminding you of the soul demons... Fine! I'll do it, probably just gonna try doing the whole spy thing first and maybe i'll have the courage to do something more." i whispered to them. They looked at me as if to make sure i was okay with it, i nodded a bit hesitantly and Fantasy put me down so i could walk over myself.

We walked over and i started to run as if i'd just noticed the destruction. Everyone seemed surprised at the sight of another human, especially Sabre, "What's going on, is everything okay?" I asked with a curious tone to my voice.

Nightmare Steve looked at me then Sabre and then me again, "Who are you." he asks, i look at him and take a step back, "Uh, i'm Zar-Theo" (Zar-Theo isn't my real name) i said.

"What a strange name." Nightmare Steve says, Fantasy steps up next to me, i notice that they've hidden their tail and wings. Nightmare Steve shifts his attention to them, "And who are you then." he asks, "Oh! My name is Fantasy, i'm with them!" Fantasy answered with a cheery tone and pointed at me which confused me and everyone else.

"Why are you so cheery‽" Sabre asks in confusion, "Uh, is something bad happening?" Fantasy asks in a confused tone that sounds a bit fake, i facepalm and look at them with a look that says 'Wow you're stupid' Fantasy looks at me a bit offended but shakes it off before saying, "Sorry, my head's in the clouds."

Everyone looks at Fantasy before things go back to what was happening before, "Join me and i'll let him go." Nightmare says to Sabre. I step over and poke Nightmare's shoulder, "What." he says in an annoyed tone, "Take me instead." i say, making eye contact with him for a split second before just looking at his cheek. Everyone minus Fantasy looks at me in surprise and shock. Fantasy just looks confused then they seem to realize what's going on and pretend to be shocked.

"Now why should i take you instead of him." Nightmare asks, i think about it for a bit, 'I should've thought of that!" i internally curse at myself for not thinking ahead, then i get an idea.

"Well, why should you take him instead of me? Wouldn't it be the same thing? Plus he doesn't appear to want to and i'm here offering to take his place which means i'm more willing than him." i say, hoping that it will convince him, "Hm, fine, Dark Steve, take them and let us leave." Nightmare orders and Dark Steve picks me up. 'I feel short T-T'

Fantasy looks at me in shock and is about to speak up but i raise my hand and say, "Don't worry Fantasy, i'll be fine" i tell them, they close their mouth and hesitantly nod while looking to the side.

Then i'm off. Dark Steve and Nightmare teleport back to Nightmare's castle and i look around, "That's a lot of space." I commented, "So what are you gonna do to me?" i ask as i get free from Dark Steve's grip and land on the floor the multi tool thingy falling out of my pocket, "What's that." Nightmare says, ignoring my question and looking at it, "It's a multi tool thingy!-" I pick the thing up, "It has multiple tools and two things that could be used for self defense." i answer in a casual tone, "Hm. You seem very relaxed." Nightmare says while eyeing the multi tool thingy as i put it in my pocket.

"Oh." i say, not sure how to respond to that, "Oh what." Nightmare asks, "Uh, i, uhm, eh... i'm not... Eh, sure how to respond to that..." i say falling over my own words.

"Hm. Well to answer your previous question, first i'm going to see if you are immune to the darkness just like Sabre." Nightmare said as some darkness stepped over. I looked at it a little worried but determined to not foil Fantasy's idea.

"I stepped on some of it when i ran over to see what was going on.." i muttered to myself looking down at my feet, i lift one of my feet up and see both dirt and some dark goop on it, i scoop the goop off and hold it up in my hand, looking at it through my glasses. I pet it gently and it acts a bit like water, "Aww, you're adorable. :D" i say catching the attention of the two Steves in the room,

"You... Find it adorable?" Nightmare asks, "Yea. :D" i say in a happy tone, "Why." Nightmare asks, taking a step towards me, "It reminds me of a slime!" i exclaim, "Plus black is one of my favorite colors, other than green, blue, red and purple." i added.

The two looked at me before Nightmare decided to just go forth with his plans, "Now i must figure out how to replicate that immunity." Nightmare said, "Maybe it's related to willpower or someone's mental state, i mean it can't just be species related right? Maybe the fear, other negative emotions or just generally bad intentions are the cause?" i said, kind of just making it up on the spot, but it was still an idea.

"Interesting. Very interesting theory." Nightmare says, "Dark Steve." Dark Steve looks at Nightmare, "Bring our "Guest" to one of the empty rooms." Nightmare commands, Dark Steve walks over to me, "I can walk just fine, no need to carry me." i say so that i won't feel short again, Dark Steve just starts leading me out of the big room.

When we got there i noticed two things, there's darkness in the corner and no bed, "Could i have a bed please?" i ask Dark Steve, Dark Steve just looks at me before leaving, 'Okay.' i think.

I walk over to the darkness and hold the dark goop close to it, it absorbs the dark goop and i pat it on the head..? Some of it sticks to my hand and forms into the shape of the dark goop before i felt a strange tingling and freezing afterwards it seemed to seep into my hand, "Huh, weird, could you come out maybe or move somewhere less noticeable?" i ask it and the darkness that has seeped into me moves onto my shoulder leaving a cold feeling running up my arm as it moves, "That felt oddly nice." i say to myself, 'Wait, did i get infected? Or is it just temporarily part of me now?' i thought before sitting down and leaning against the wall, doing little reactions in my head and thinking about my OCs lore.
