Trials

This, is where the hell begins

The future. Not as great as they thought it was gonna be. Tord has taken control of many regions, leaving Edd, Matt and Tom to try and stop him by creating a resistance. Though, when things get out of hand, and the banishment of cola causes Edd to disappear, it leaves matt and Tom alone. Things just progressively become worse after that.

Tom was sitting silently at the kitchen table while matt was making breakfast

I have to tell him

"Here you go Tom" matt smiled, moving to take a seat across from his friend to eat his own plate of food. But when the silence strangled the room matt looked to his sad friend "...Tom what's the matter? I made your favorite but your not even eating it did I n-"
"I can't see matt."

he can't see?

"I don't understand, why can't you see?"
"Matt, don't you remember the appointments Edd used to take me to? They were because of my eyes. I have cancer in my eyes matt"

Silence again.

Matt was shocked, for better words. He had slowly set his cup of coffee down, trying to find his words
"..but..I thought it was okay? I thought you guys handled it before tord.."
"-before he took all the medical supplies necessary to help me? I thought so too."
"So-" matt stood, slamming his hands on the table, causing a glass to fall over and roll onto the floor, shattering on impact. The air became stale then "am I suppose to just accept it? That your leaving too?! First tord leaves then comes back as an absolute psychotic freak, then Edd leaves without explanation, cola or not, and now..now your going to die??" His breath got caught in his throat.

I'm not trying to be angry..I'm not..

Shaking his head matt shifted to kneel down and attempted to pick up the glass, cutting his fingers a bit as he did 

Tom didn't respond at first, this isn't his fault. He can't help having of gotten the disease.

"Matt you say that like it's my fault, I tried everything there's nothing else we can do" he had moved to kneel down before him, pulling his hands away from the shattered glass.
"Matt we can find a way, it'll be okay." offering a small smile, Tom had matt sit before going to grab the first aid kit.
When wrapping up matts hands though, the other suddenly spoke up, the words were like ice running down his spine

"We can ask tord..he has what we need doesn't he?"
Tom wasn't sure how to word the next sentence "why would we ask that asshole? He would just want something from us."
"Yes but- I'd do anything to help you Tom..I don't want to loose another friend"

He accepted.

Tords base, you'd be surprised how easy it was to meet with him

Matt stayed close to Tom as they walked through the halls. They were currently being lead by Paul and patryck, tords second in commands. It made the two boys uncomfortable obviously to have to walk to tord, willingly may we note, to ask for help. To them, they never saw this day happening.

They were welcomed by tords spine chilling laugh upon entering the room "matt, Tom hello old friends! What brings you here? Never expected to see you two again.." he mused, grinning widely
Matt couldn't speak at first, he was still just a little bit, afraid of tord after everything had happened. But when hearing Tom mutter under his breath, matt put his arm up against toms chest
"Tord we only came here because we need medical help"
He leaned forward, clearly intrigued "oh?~ which one of you? You both look healthy. Go to a normal doctor if it's a cough-"
"Tom. He has cancer tord. Eye cancer." He bites his lip "..Please tord..I'll do anything just /help/ him"
There was another silence between the group, it wasn't pleasant by any means.
"I'll gladly help you matt"
"What? You...you will?"
"There's a catch matt im sure.." Tom muttered behind him. He currently was holding onto matts arm due to his proceeding lack of vision.
"Right you are Tom! I will unfortunately need you to do something in return, both of you actually...."

There's always a catch

"What is it?" Matt reached behind him to gently grab tons arm, likely as a way to relax knowing he's not alone right now with a psycho.
"It's simple, you two will go through ten trials, and if you pass them all I will give you immediate medical help for Tom." He stood up from his chair, slowly walking around his desk to stand before matt and Tom "how Does that sound?"

We have no choice

Matt turned his gaze to Tom, who simply nodded in return. If they died, atleast they wouldn't be dying alone right? 

"..we accept."
