""- talking obviously
{}- inner thoughts

(This starts after Mr. Puzzles captured everyone, including SMG4 and Mario, so basically after the trailer lol, all these torture chapters take place at the same time)

Mr. Puzzles shifted his gaze back to all the cameras, ready for the next toy to play with that day. They were all still passed out from the brainwashing static in their respective places.

Mr. Puzzles: "Heh... one down, all these rest to go... But who to choose now?" He looked between them all again and finally settled on his next choice. "Ah yes, the fish!"

Boopkins woke up inside a hug tank filled to the brim with water. The tank was in an even bigger empty room covered in darkness.

Mr. Puzzles: "Ah hello Boopkins, now let's see if we can make you useful for something~." His voice crackled over the loud speaker in Boopkins's chamber as lights flashed on underneath the tank, setting it in a blueish green glow. His massive screen lowered from the ceiling into the chamber with a smile plastered across his face.

Boopkins: "AAAAH THE TV FREAK- PLEASE LET ME GO!", he screamed.

Mr. Puzzles: "Now now Boopkins..." {Ugh what a ridiculous name, I'll have to find something better for the shows} "All you have to do is some little tricks, and then you get food for the day. But do them wrong and you starve! Deal~?"

Boopkins: "W-wait! But I don't want to work! I want to see my friends!" He pressed his hands up to the glass and tried to see something out beyond it but there was only darkness.

Mr. Puzzles: "How about this, you do good for today and you can see them? Disappoint me, and you never see anyone again." His voice got deeper and creepier towards the end, but then snapped back to normal with his next words. "Now then! On with the show!" He started with easy tricks under the water to test Boopkins out. "Swim through the hoops!"

Boopkins: He starts panicking. He tries to do the tricks, but fails immediately by hitting his head on the top part of the first hoop. "NO NO NO!", he cried while rubbing his head.

Mr. Puzzles: He just stares at Boopkins dumbfounded. "What... What was THAT?! That- You- I gave you the easiest assignment! Try again!" He was angry, already the second member for his acts was a failure?! Seriously?!

Boopkins: "I- I'm sorry Mr. Puzzles sir..." He tries again and manages to do it.

Mr. Puzzles: "Good, now how about some of these?" He made Boopkins do trick after trick over and over again.

Boopkins would only be able to get a few right while most of his actions ended in failure. This only pissed off Mr. Puzzles as the only way for Boopkins to be useful would be to brainwash him and even that didn't work all the time. He would still find some way to screw up anything he did somehow.

Boopkins: "I'm sorry... Can you maybe pick something easier for me?" He had exhaustion in his voice as he took deep breaths. It looked like he was going to go belly up at any moment.

Mr. Puzzles: "No! Do it right or you don't get anything!" He yelled to the point where his voice started to glitch. He was pissed having to watch this idiotic fish fail over and over. It had been entertaining to watch him run into things, but after hours entertainment turned into annoyance.

Boopkins: He cowers in fear. "I'm sorry, but I can't do much!" He tries to do the course one last time... seems like he's going to make it... and fails on the last ring.

Mr. Puzzles: Seeing that this was going nowhere he decided to give up for the day. "Ugh! You know what?! That's it! You are a FAILURE! We will try again tomorrow! And you WILL get it right or ELSE!" He shuts the lights off, and his giant screen goes black, leaving Boopkins to himself in the darkness.

Boopkins: "...Hmmm... Hey, SMG4... Bob...? Anyone... am I really... alone?"

His voice echoed out into the empty room... but no one answered... they never did... this same scenario would go on everyday for about a week... He was completely and utterly alone, no one to save him, no one to know he was even there. Just the overwhelming silence, only ending when Mr. Puzzles would return for the last time.

Boopkins sat there in silence rocking back and forth sitting at the bottom of the tank floor. He didn't say anything, after all no one could hear him wherever he was. All he could do was wait for Mr. Puzzles to return like he always did. He was starving and barely had any energy left. Mr. Puzzles would only give him the bare minimum of food to encourage Boopkins to at least try to do better or as a reward when he actually would succeed. But it was rare that he did, so he was just clinging onto life with what he had. You can only survive for so long without the right amount of food...

Mr.Puzzles: Just then he finally returned to the screen in front of Boopkins with a face like he hadn't slept in days. "Ugh, alright Boopkins, let's try this again..." He was clearly annoyed with something else at the moment, but boy would that get even worse for him in just a few minutes.

Mr. Puzzles turned on the same lights and started up the same tests again. As expected, Boopkins failed most of his tests, only succeeding in two or three.

Boopkins: "S- So... how did I do?", he said panting and hunched over.

Mr. Puzzles: "...Words... cannot describe... how disappointed I am... I... I can't even-..." He just turned off his screen for a moment. There was a scream of rage heard somewhere in the distance. He then turns his screen back on looking even more agitated than before. He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly before looking back at the fish with an exhausted expression. He said nothing else.

Boopkins: "...Can I go home now, Mr. Puzzles?"

Mr. Puzzles: He smiles wide as His face glitches for a bit, then He begins to laugh maniacally. "HehehehehahahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH— No." And with that He fucking left... and never came back...

Boopkins remained there... For how long? He doesn't know... He simply watched as the ripples of the water continued... and stopped... then continued... as hunger grew stronger...

Until there wasn't a body to be satiated...

(Ya know, you can really tell when people hate a character when they just decide to kill him off lol, sorry if this seemed rushed, me and Rose are trying to get to the other characters as quickly as possible, also sorry if these chapters come out real slow, it's hard to find the time with life stuff happening, anyway we hope you enjoyed this chapter and an even better one is soon to come)

NEXT UP: Macho Woman
