||Hello Neighbour: A Better Timeline||

||Chapter 94: A New Game?||

"GET BACK HERE!! WE HAVE YOUR MEMBERS, YOU CAN JUST SURRENDER NOW!!!"
Theodore sprinted after Crowface, he could see their cloak and batted away any branch in his way, lept over a fall tree and nearly tripped over a rock but he pushed on to keep up.
This person. . . Is fast. . .!

Breaking into the opening, Mr Peterson caught his breath and was back to a familiar building he didn't want to return to.
The Golden Apple Factory.
Keith caught up with him, he reloaded his gun and turned to Mr Peterson,"Back here, you okay to do this?", Mr Peterson nods and they both walk towards the factory.
Last time he was here, he was looking for Norman and the sight. . . Mr Peterson shuddered, pushing open the doors and they entered the factory.

It was empty, somewhat clean but gathering dust and rust.
"After what happened to Norman. . . We took out everything and cleaned everything. . ."
"And I appreciate that."
Keith raised his gun, a very tall person came from the shadows; unlike the others, the cloak didn't hide themselves or they're not choosing hide themselves as much.
They wore a grey baggy sweater, orange sleeves, gloves that looked like claws at the end, darker orange trousers that were torn and tucked into black boots, and they were wrapped in a black cloak and a beak that covered their face.
"Besides the woods, this was a place I could clear my head. . . And also what Gordon did to your friend, it was an awful site and I do apologise for it."
Theodore glared at him, Keith aimed the gun,"So; You're the leader? You are the Icon of The Cult: Crowface.", Crowface titled their head,"Honestly. . . I don't know my role in this Cult; I'm just around when they can't do things themselves, usually it's Leonard or Gordon calling the shots and I'm just following orders.", Keith frowned,"So. . . You're not the leader?", Mr Peterson reached for his belt, for his hammer just in case they tried anything,"And why didn't you step in during that whole Fair Fight?", Crowface leaned against a pillar,"Well. . . I could have, but I had other plans, that and I wasn't on board with this, it was fun watching you beat the shit out of them all, especially Leonard.", Keith and Mr Peterson looked at one another, frowning and confused.
"But."
Snap
They jumped, Crowface tossed something to the ground,"I do wish to thank you; You got rid of the last batch of The Cultists, you don't have to trust my word but I'm fair.", Crowface stopped leaning on the piller, walking to the centre of the factory and faced them.
"But I plan to continue my plans, without the others changing my plans or stopping me; But don't worry, I plan to leave you guys be, I love games and I would prefer to be fair."
They lifted their arm, Keith was ready to fire and Mr Peterson watched them.
"And I. . . Don't want you all getting in the way of my new game."
As they clenched their fist, then there was a buzz from above.
Then it got brighter-
The lights began to explode, Keith and Mr Peterson covered their heads as they did, glass scattering around them.
And looking up. . . Crowface was gone.
. . .

"They just vanished?"
Jay was stunned, Mr Peterson nods,"Yeah, talking about how they wanted to a play a new game, they weren't too worried about their Cult Members being arrested, maybe relieved. . . It was hard to say, their voice if it's maybe just a voice changer, sounded. . . Off? Like it hurt to get each word out.", Keith held up a plastic bag,"And they threw this. . . Some shock collar, looks to be used.", Keith put it in his car and turned to them,"Best to leave; This Fair is over and get those members arrested, we'll have to handle Crowface later.", so Keith got in the car, Jay and Mr Peterson walked towards some of the adults.
"And the lights?"
"Just. . . Clutched their fist and the lights blew a fuse. . . Maybe they had some switch, or good timing?"
There had to be a logical reason behind that happening.
But right now, they had to end this day. . .
