Make Him Proud [II AU/FANFIC/DARKFIC]

Chapter 6: A Failed Escape

[MeTag's first person POV:]
I checked the cameras; nothing seemed off— wait, why was the exit door open? I checked the outdoor cameras, and this time I saw someone leaving; Cobs would be furious if I let someone escape. I quickly darted out of the room and into the hallways, shining a flashlight on the ground so I wouldn't trip. I saw the exit and ran out to the port. I noticed a shuttle getting ready to leave and attempted to stop them; however, it was too late. The shuttle started going off and zoomed to god knows where. Cobs would find out, eventually, but I guess it's better to tell him now?

God, I am so dead.

Mephone3GS wandered through the hallways, darting away when he saw a light. The figure looked like the one he saw before, but he didn't want to test his luck. Once they left, he saw them go outside.

Was it always that easy to leave? Has he been too scared to try?

He shook the idea out of his head and looked around a little longer. He knew he'd get caught eventually, but he wanted to know if anyone else was awake.

A few years back, he heard other voices that sounded like him, but he thought nothing of it. Another time, the door was slightly open and he peeked out to see three tall phones and one red phone in the middle, it looked like they were bullying them; Cobs just watched the whole thing. He closed the door before they could find out he saw them.

He went back to Walkie-Talkie's room but saw she wasn't there. Was she the one who left? Again, he played it off and hid in the closet. It wasn't that different from the storage room, but it was nicer to know that he was 'safe.'

But how long would he be safe?

~~~~~~
The next day, he woke up sore from sitting in the closet for so long. He opened the door and looked out the window but saw it was still dark, a faint sunrise in the distance being the only color. He decided to walk around, maybe he could try escaping, too. He slowly opened the room door and started walking out.

He didn't notice, but there was a MeTag guarding the exit; once he saw them, it was too late. The MeTag had already called for support, and the next thing he knew he was surrounded by other objects. His screen glitched as he panicked; he knew that Cobs would arrive sooner or later. He saw Cobs in the corner of his eyes and panicked even more.

"Wow! Long time no see, huh?"

He said.

"L-Let me go!" He was still cornered, but the other objects had backed up further so Cobs could see him.

"Did you really think you'd get away that easy? I have cameras everywhere."

"Someone a-already left, right?"

He sighed,

"Yes, i'm aware. But i'm not letting you escape."
Cobs stepped closer; Mephone3GS tried backing up but bumped into one of the objects, who pushed him closer to Cobs.

"d-DON't hURT ME!" 3GS cried. Cobs grabbed his arm and tried dragging him somewhere until he heard someone approaching. He turned around and—-

Mephone4 woke up in a storage closet, but the door wasn't locked. He attempted to stand up before stumbling over, his legs were still bruised from earlier; he didn't bother to pick up the red cloth that covered the cracks on his screen.

Although he was still tired, he forced himself up, leaning against the wall and limping to the door. He tried finding Walkie-Talkie, but she was nowhere in sight. He was about to go back to his room until he heard screaming. He turned around and saw a crowd surrounded Cobs and...some other phone?

He didn't know who they were, but he had to save them, they couldn't end up like him.

His legs were still tired, but with the strength he had he ran over to them, pushing away the other cornering them.

"LEAVE THEM ALONE!" He yelled. Cobs turned around and quickly moved out of the way.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"I'm saving someone! I'm not letting them end up like me!" Mephone4 tried grabbing the others arm, but he soon realized there was none, it was just a stub. He was too zoned out to notice, but Cobs had pushed him over and tried dragging the other away.
Mephone4 quickly grabbed what was remaining of their arm and attempted to free them from his grasp; they both tugged on the phone before Mephone4 fell over.
"Toodles!" Cobs chuckled and ran off. Mephone4 was determined to get the other back, but his arms were tied behind his back before he could chase them again. The other objects took him to his room and threw him in. Once the door closed, Mephone4 sighed. There was nothing he could do.

Unless he tried again.
