Creepypasta: The Story

Free Will

         The Zalgofied foes, Bloody Painter, Clockwork, Puppeteer, and Judge Angels, fought quite violently. Clockwork sliced at Toby, Masky, and BRVR with rage, and they reciprocated. It was a long battle. Finally, instead of trying to slice her to pieces and smash her head in, Toby got an idea. "BRVR!" He said. "U-Use Lightning B-Bolt!" He said, and BRVR, though a bit annoyed he was told what to do, used his Lightning Bolt on Clockwork yet again. It wasn't powerful enough to fry the girl, like it normally would've, but it stunned her for a moment. In that moment, Toby flipped one of his axes around, and bashed her in the face with the handle. It didn't do much damage... But she fell backward. She was knocked out. And so, her eye went back to normal, instead of that black and red Zalgo effect, and turned green. Though, her clock eye was, of course, still there. Toby looked at Masky. He, holding his pipe close to the gorund tiredly, nodded in approval of Toby's idea. "G-Guys!" Toby said to everyone in the room. "Don't kill them! Knock them out!" Toby yelled. And so, they listened. Jeff pushed Laughing Jack into Bloody Painter who, with his shoulder, smashed his head with it. It did not break his mask, as Bloody Painter hadn't been facing directly toward the two, but to Smile Dog. Seedeater, using Herobrine's blocky and not sharp sword, hit Judge Angels across the face with it as well, having the same effect. Her eyes, instead of becoming blue, green, brown, etc., became a blackish color, with white dots all over... Like space. Puppeteer, who had dodged Hoodie's bullets with his levitation ability, was the most difficult to knock out. Eventually, though, Hoodie and Jack kept him on the ground long enough for Widemouth, who luckily had the sense to know how to knock someone out, hit him in the back of the head with the knife hilt. Like that, they stayed, for a while. Sitting there. Resting. Recovering. They all had cuts and bruises from the fight. It was tough, without their abilities. Soon, though, Shadowlurker appeared.

"Good job. You are a worthy group of 'Creeps'. Congratulations. You're free." Shadowlurker said, and they all went back to normal, with all their abilities. Except abilities that allowed them to teleport, fly, or phase through walls.

"What is happening? Why can't we-" Slenderman began, but Shadowlurker interrupted him.

"Worry not, Slender. You shall get your teleportation back soon. Your true gifts will pick you up in a bit." Shadowlurker finished. All of a sudden, they were teleported to some sort of desert... No... Beach... An island. "Lord Zalgo shall be watching." Shadowlurker said, and left him there. There was food and water there, and everyone ate quite a lot. It at first seemed like no one was to come get them, but, all of a sudden, after a few hours...

"Ahoy, maties!" A loud voice said, all of a sudden, a ship, which actually had a face, landed. Everyone was confused, because no one had seen the ship come in. It was as if it'd teleported. Someone was standing on the front of the smiling ship.

"Who are you!?" Jeff, now with his smile and insanity back, asked.

"I be Poppy! Climb aboard the Laughing Stock!" The bearded, peg-legged man said. BEN recognized him.

"Hey! From the Cove!" BEN said. Poppy took a closer look and, surprised, said,

"BEN?... There ye' are! What be doin' ya' here!?" Poppy asked. "I was told to sail here, with the others, and pick some people up, and we'd be freed from this wretched show." Poppy said.

"Ah. So that was his game." Slender said.

"Yeah! Lets go!" BEN said, and floated up to it. Everyone slowly climbed onto the boat. Puppeteer, Bloody Painter, Clockwork, and Judge Angels were not there with either party. After some brief greeting between the Creeps and the inhabitants of the ship, which looked very much like wooden puppets, they began sailing. "I thought you said you'd bring the others." BEN said.

"We did..." Percy, another crew member on the ship, said. And then a skeletal figure opened a hatch that lead farther into the ship. "Right... Here." Skin Taker said, one of his bony hands on his skin hat so it didn't fall off. Down the hole were, indeed, the 'others'.

"They're all here!" BEN exclaimed, looking down at his acquaintances. "Dead Bart! Squidward Suicide! SuicideMouse.AVI! Even ol' Happy Appy!" BEN said, smiling, not actually per se liking them, just happy to see those outside the group of Creeps he'd been around so long.

"Seems you've made some friends." Jeff said, in a lucid state. "They're... Uh... Interesting." BEN nodded. Eventually, the boat made it to the edge the sea. It was as if the ocean just... Cut off. But it just kept sailing forward, until they got to it. At first, it looked like the ship had fallen off of a cliff. But instead, it had just gone through a screen. The ship had actually stayed behind, with everyone else falling through. In front of the TV, they all got up.

"Finally!" The cartoons all said, varying in wording, but all the same meaning, essentially. They were free. Sonic.EXE pat Dead Bart on the shoulder.

"I know how you feel." He said, his claws back, and then ran around, happy he could go quickly again.

"Too bad we couldn't bring everyone..." Suicide Squidward said, nonchalantly, though sighing after.

"Yeah. That blue cat, the kid with the white hat, and that blue jay were sorta' cool dudes." Dead Bart responded, stretching.

"But that homicidal pink pony and egotistical blue pony were something to be reckoned with." The cartoons and BEN all laughed at that comment from Appy. No one else knew who they were talking about.

"They'll be free eventually." BEN said.

Everyone was gathered around that TV except Slender. He was standing a few feet away from the door, looking downward. "What are you moping about?" Jeff asked, walking over to him with his knife. He looked down at what Slender was looking at. Them. Clockwork. Bloody Painter, Puppeteer, and Judge Angels. Jeff, his insanity kicking in, lunged downward at them. Slender stopped him with his tentacles.

"We'll let them rest." Slender said. "They did not harm to us. Zalgo did." He said. Jeff growled and went back to the TV, which had recently emitted someone that looked like Glitchy Red, who introduced himself as Strangled Red, and some black ghost next to him who called himself Creepy Black. Slender, after taking the four to bedrooms that were open, and introducing the other new cartoons and two game characters to their rooms, Slender stared blankly out the window. "Something tells me... We have a long road ahead of us." Slender concluded to himself, and walked away.
