Two Versus Danger.

·· The Chopping Block ··

!! No Trigger Warnings Today !! surprising?

Luójí de Yīkào had just left, and now the previous 'mistakes' were left to ponder on his arrival and if he was a good enough substitute. However, they didn't want Luójí de Yīkào to be killed off upon The Chopping Block as they and all the previouss did.

"∂σ уσυ тнιηк тнιѕ ιѕ α gσσ∂ ι∂єα?" The 5th said, sitting down where Luójí de Yīkào was previously seated and looking over at the 8th, the fire now defeated.

"ᴇʟᴀʙᴏʀᴀᴛᴇ..." 8th said, raising an eyebrow as Buddy was also chiming in.

"Lυóʝí ԃҽ Yīƙàσ ʂҽҽɱʂ ɳσɾɱαʅ. Aʂ ιɳ, ԋҽ ԃσҽʂɳ'ƚ ԋαʋҽ αɳყ αɳιɱαʅιʂƚιƈ αႦιʅιƚιҽʂ ყҽƚ. Nσƚ α ρɾҽԃαƚσɾ ƚσ αɳιɱαʅʂ." 8th scowled and puffed their cheeks out, waiting to say something but keeping their mouth shut for now, "... ησт α∂αρтє∂ нσяηѕ σƒ αηу кιη∂ σя єνєη α¢тιηg ιη α ρяє∂αтσяιαℓ ωαу."

"ᴄᴀɴ ɪ ꜱᴀʏ ꜱᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ?" 8th put their hand up like they were in junior high again.

"ησ. ι ∂ση'т ωαηт тσ нєαя уσυя σηє-мιℓℓισηтн тяу ση тєℓℓιηg мє."

"ɪ'ᴍ ɴᴏᴛ ᴀ ᴘʀᴇᴅᴀᴛᴏʀ ᴀɢᴀɪɴꜱᴛ ᴀɴɪᴍᴀʟꜱ!!" pressing a hand against their own heart "ᴊᴜꜱᴛ ʙᴇᴄᴀᴜꜱᴇ-"

"нєяє ωє gσ αgαιη..." interrupting 8th.

"ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ɪɴᴛᴇʀʀᴜᴘᴛ ᴍᴇ—ʏᴏᴜ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴡʜᴀᴛ!? ᴄ'ᴍᴇʀᴇ ʙɪɢ ʙᴏʏ" trying to launch at 5th with their hooves and half-winning by grabbing onto the back of 5th's shoulders.

"gєт 域 мє!! вυ∂∂у нєℓρ!!" Buddy was just staring at them blankly and not caring the slightest about what was going on and if anything wanted in on the action.

They were all quite lonely.

They had to amuse themselves in some way.

Buddy stood up shakily and wobbled over to them, each step feeling like a memory being poured into Buddy's mind. The trauma and everything above—but it was all worth it as Buddy fell onto the 8th's back, forcing the 8th's and 5th's snouts to touch.

"ʜᴏᴡ ᴄᴜᴛᴇ ᴡᴇ'ʀᴇ ᴛᴏᴜᴄʜɪɴɢ ᴛɪᴘꜱ~" 8th giggled licking the opposing lips as 5th growled in anger and wanted to punch 8th, but resisted due to it possibly hurting Buddy too.

"gєт 域 мє, уσυ ¢σ¢кαℓσяυм..." staring into their eyes as 5th immediately became one of terror and 'Satan, please help me.'

They see Satan as their 'God' because they were not accepted by the 'good side', so in response, they turned to the only thing that was shunned in the Older Ages. In which they got accepted, finally

"ᴏʜ~ ɪ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜɪꜱ; ɪᴛ ꜱᴇᴇᴍꜱ ᴡᴇ'ʀᴇ ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ᴛʜʀᴇᴇꜱᴏᴍᴇ," the 8th giggled; they were the disturbing ones.

"...†hrêê... §ðmê?" Buddy asked, innocent as always.

"Dσɳ'ƚ ɯσɾɾყ αႦσυƚ ιƚ, Bυԃԃყ! Eʋҽɾყƚԋιɳɠ'ʂ ɠσιɳɠ ƚσ Ⴆҽ σƙαყ. Rιɠԋƚ 8ƚԋ?" scowling them down. The 5th is very overprotective of the 4th, for obvious reasons.

"ʜᴀʜ! ꜰᴜɴɴʏ, ᴍᴀʏʙᴇ ɪ ꜱʜᴏᴜʟᴅ, ᴜʜᴍ..." 8th was soon to scramble out of the sand which he had created before 5th held Buddy close, keeping his innocent mind safe.

5th sighed before getting back to the matter at hand and the question of all "ωнєη ∂σ уσυ тнιηк 6 ιѕ ¢σмιηg вα¢к?" 6 has been gone for decades; they couldn't pinpoint the last time they set foot upon this mist of Luójí de Yīkào's mind.
