Gam/Nep/Eq AU

So what if Nepeta were killed by Gamzee first? This is my rendition of how it would go. Enjoy.

"But you had better believe I will s33 you soon, Equius!" Nepeta said with a smile. She walked towards the door leading to the grate system in the lab, all the while hoping her meowrail would be alright.  She looked through some of the other grates she passed. 

are you next? :O)

Hee hee! Next for what?

She continued on her way down the dark passage. Jeez, it was cold. Nepeta wrapped her jacket around herself tighter. 

clang.

Nepeta whipped around, claws out. "Who's there?" she said. There was no answer. She walked towards the source of the sound. It seemed to come from the last grate she'd passed. Just as she turned the corner, a blur of black knocked her down and shoved her out of the grate. She landed with a sickening crack, pain shooting up the arm she landed on. Before she could get up, a figure jumped down from the opening in the wall and Nepeta nearly screamed.

Gamzee stalked towards her, clubs in hand. Nepeta scrambled away from him, hitting the wall. Gamzee laughed.

"oh, little kitty. YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN?" he taunted, raising one of his clubs. He brought it down on Nepeta's head and she raised her claws to block the hit.

Her claws shattered on impact. 

"Oh my god, oh my GOD," she whimpered. Testing out her broken wrist, she found that the pain was manageable. 

Gamzee got ready to strike again. But this time, Nepeta was ready. She smacked one of his weapons away and launched herself at him. Three claw marks appeared on his face, seeping with purple blood.

"that was. MOTHERFUCKING. great. HONK :O)" Gamzee's smile seemed to have grown larger.

Nepeta got up and got into a fighting stance. Dammit. I won't be able to take him down. I hope Equius is fur away from where I am. I hope he doesn't find me. 

Nepeta took a swipe at Gamzee, but he moved with lightning speed. His club connected with her knee and she screamed. On her knee, she looked up at Gamzee and snarled, showing her fangs. It's pointless. But I can't let him get to Equius. Sometimes a troll's gotta do what a troll's gotta do. 

She jumped once more, this time latching herself onto Gamzee, sinking her teeth into his arm. She could taste his blood, and that drover her into a frenzy. Just like the animals I hunted. Just like my prey... The pain in her wrist and leg faded away, replaced by the senses of a hunter. 

Gamzee tried to shake her off, but she held tight, using her claws to stab him through his stomach. He halted for a moment, then threw his arm back, club in hand. It hit Nepeta. Hard. She let out a bloodcurdling cry and landed on the floor. She couldn't move.

Gamzee took a step towards Nepeta, trying to staunch the blood flowing from his wounds. 

"so the kitty's found her claws. HONK. too bad you can't use them anymore. I'LL FIND YOUR MOIRAIL. and watch his beautiful, indigo blood flow. :O)"

Gamzee stood over Nepeta, ready to deliver the final blow. Tears ran down Nepeta's cheeks. 

I can't protect him anymore. Oh, Equius... Furrgive me...

  ♐  

Equius walked through the dark halls of the lab. I wonder where everyone else is. He passed by lab equipment used to breed the many soldiers of Derse and Prospit. He passed by broken screens and moniters, the purpose of them unknown.

As he passed another hallway, he heard something fall to the floor. Equius immediately pressed himself against the wall, peering past the corner to see. A tall, lanky figure was standing over another smaller figure. 

Equius took one look at the tall one and recognised it as Gamzee. Then who's on the ground? 

A sudden realization dawned on him. What if Nepeta... No. That isn't possible. She's safe in the room we agreed that I would meet her in. But what if...

He looked closer at the two trolls, trying to make out the face of the one lying on the floor. 

A blue hat. A green jacket.

Equius ran towards Gamzee, colliding with him before he could continue beating Nepeta. Equius swung his fist and it made contact with Gamzee's jaw. He could feel the bones break beneath his fingers. 

He made to swing again, but Gamzee wasn't done. He rammed his remaining club into Equius' ribs. He fell to the ground.

"is that the best you can do? I EXPECTED MORE FROM A BLUEBLOOD. or bl00bl00d. AS YOU WOULD SAY." Gamzee propped his foot up on Equius' face with a sadistic smile on his face. But before he could take action, Equius grabbed his foot and swung him into the wall. Gamzee landed in a heap.

Equius stood up. He could taste blood in his mouth. But soon, he hoped to see Gamzee's dripping. 

He took a running start and STRONGpunched Gamzee in the cheek. A couple teeth went flying and Gamzee went silent. 

Equius turned to his moirail, picking her up and cradling her close. "Nepeta. Nepeta, wake up. I command you to wake up." Nepeta lay still in his arms. 

"No, no, NO.  I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS. WAKE UP, NEPETA." She stirred. 

"E-Equius?" Nepeta said weakly. She looked at him and smiled. "Oh, you're alright. I thought something... had happened to you." Tears began running down Equius' face. "Equius... don't cry... I'll be... alright..." "You'll be alright. You aren't going to die, Nepeta. I won't let that happen to you. Nepeta-" He broke down crying. Nepeta put a hand on Equius' cheek "Who said that... I would die... Equius... I'll be... here... until you leave... After all... meowrails furrever... am I... right?"

Her hand fell.

Equius' eyes widened. "No, Nepeta. You can't- you-" he stuttered. He let out a cry and yelled,"Damn it, Nepeta! You cannot go to sleep or anything of that sort. I forbid it. NEPETA, DO YOU HEAR ME? NEPETA." Equius continued crying, wishing for his moirail to be awake and smiling in his arms. 

"Nepeta... Please... Please, wake up..." He fell to his knees and wept into her corpse.

The pain of his injuries had subsided. Equius was filled with a blinding rage. He turned to the clown against the wall. Gamzee wasn't there.

Out of anger, Equius punched the wall. The metal crunched beneath his fist.

"I will hunt you down, Makara. And you will pay."
