Chapter 9: new body new purpose

While I was in my room looking at the waster memories Toby & I had, dad came into the room with an exorcist.

Me: what happened? Did they find Toby?

Mr Crowell: unfortunately son, they found Toby, but they couldn't catch him in time...

Me: w-what do you mean?

Exorcist: he's dead. He performed a soul removing ritual, refusing to be taken alive.

Me: oh my god...

Exorcist: it was a mess there when I was brought in. On the ground were candles almost completely melted, a soul transferring pentagram close to the computer, a bloody hand print on the screen, & all that was left of Toby was his empty mortal husk.

All I could do was curl into a ball on my bed & cry...

Mr Crowell: I'm sorry Simon...

Me: it's not that... we were like brothers that made an oath to change the world for the better! Not turn it to dust... he was my best friend & now he's gone & it's because of me!

Mr Crowell: hey, don't blame yourself. You did the right thing telling me about all this heinous acts Toby committed. He knew murder was a serious crime but he paid the price another way.

He was right about that, but not only did I lose a friend, but the dream of a brighter future Toby & I fought so hard to build turned into total bullshit. But little did I know, Toby's new path was more sinister than ever. But with Toby's soul loose, I'd figure he'll be lost to the void... or so I thought. When tobys soul woke up, he found himself in a familiar place.

Toby soul: what the... where am I? Am I dreaming or is this hell disguised as heaven?

He looked around & saw what appeared to be a black square. He took a closer look, touched it & it felt like glass, almost like a tv screen. On the other side, was a child playing with his toys.

Toby soul: am I... inside the tv? That can't be possible... unless... oh my god... the soul transfer ritual brought me in here! But doesn't... this look like the show I used my virus on?

Just then he heard what sounded like static. He turned around & saw a black blobby creature with multi colored squares just standing there.

Toby soul: is that... my virus...?

Suddenly he heard a young voice.

Child voice: hello Toby. I've been expecting you.

He slowly turned around & saw a little white rabbit with eyes the same color & texture as the virus. It was pibby's friend bun bun

Toby soul: wait... you're that rabbit from the show... bun bun was it?

Bun bun: that's right, it is I.

Toby soul: n-no this is an illusion, you're... real?

Bun bun: oh I'm real alright, since you did a soul transfer from your world to our television world, everything in this world... is real as can be.

Toby soul: well... just don't be mad I attacked your show first & turned you into... monsters...

Bun bun: monsters? Oh no no no, this virus you created... perfected us! That virus you created... the darkness, it turned me & my friends & many legendary characters I never even heard of into something far greater! & you can be too Toby.

Toby soul: how? I'm dead, this soul is all that's left of me.

Bun bun: oh I may have a solution for that, but you had no right to die just for doing your job. But... have you ever heard of reincarnation?
