Smiling Critters: Ancestra Au - Cancelled

State of War... (Part 1) - Season 2

— Mom? Dad? It's... it's me again, your son, Bobby. I hope, I hope the creator sends this message to you, or one of you. I can't stop, but I can admit... I'm afraid it won't work out. My obsession led me to this. I'll pay, even if it's with my life. I can't forgive myself for what I did to my body, for what I did to the people who were used by my desire... I don't know why I'm sending this message. I felt the urge to do it. It's like I'm going to die, like I'm going to disappear... I'm scared.

It was Bobby, lying on her bed in her domain. The woman had a vacant look as she stared at the ceiling, her eyes showing exhaustion. The position she was in was also the same—body straight, legs slightly apart, and arms fully stretched out—it was as if she were floating on water, or in her imagination: on her own tears.

The red bear took a deep breath, got up from the bed, and reshaped her domain, ceasing to be a room and becoming a street. Nighttime, streetlights with bright lights, bright but empty shops, the two moons, bright and large in the sky. Bobby looked up, reshaped it once more, and now it rained. It started lightly, then grew stronger.

Those conditions were the same ones she liked when she was sad, Bobby would leave her domain every now and then to get some air after days and days of pure stress, all to calm down... she liked the rain that fell on some of those days, always at night, always empty, it was her elixir of calm, one of the only things that made her calm her frustration.

— Sometimes I wonder... after all this, will I be able to enjoy the rain? — she said to herself, looking at that rainy sky she herself had shaped.

Outside, amidst the chaos, the fight against Dolly was intense, Picky and Catnap were in hand-to-hand combat, Bubba provided protection and long-range cover, especially for Dogday and Crafty.

Dogday still remains strong and firm to try to absorb all that magic that he created in the labyrinth, the time he fought Dolly and lost alongside Hoppy.

Catnap swung his blade very close to his body, striking hard against the current red bear, who retaliated with even more force, until the cat's blade cracked.

“What? This girl is strong! Ten? Any guesses?” Catnap thought as he continued to exchange blows.

— Let's say she's ninety percent Bobby, this girl is made of magic, made of Bobby himself! — said Dez very close to the cat.

The maze could finally be seen failing, the magic slowly draining away. Catnap smiled, and that was enough to earn him a blow from Dolly right in the snout. Picky advanced and cut off the thing's arm... well, it stopped, the axe stopped practically halfway through the arm, not cutting all the way through.

Dolly grabbed the axe, removed it from her arm, and began swinging it with Picky holding it, the force immense. Picky managed to free the pig from the weapon, throwing her to the ground, and then threw the axe at her, creating a crater in the asphalt. Dolly advanced on Dogday, and Bubba stepped in front of him and fired an energy cannon.

“Hugh!! Damn it! I’ll do it, but it’ll be different!” Picky slowly got up, she glowed pink and her eyes quickly showed anger.
The axe disappears, the pink aura soon turns orange and then yellow, things around it start to move, and seem to move towards it;

"You have a hidden passive, Picky. Don't tell anyone about it. Only use it at the right time. After all, sucking external magic to feed your physique is scary..." Picky remembered Nathan; he'd told her that a while after they'd started training.

The maze of light slowly faded. Dogday no longer felt bad about sucking up that magical mixture; he felt better, and he intensified his magic suction. Crafty, by his side, was afraid the battle would reach them, or that Bubba would fail to protect them. Her heart was beating rapidly at these thoughts.
