Karma (Sequel to An Old Friend)//Grumbo\\

8

    Sam looked confused as he stepped out of the room, but the moment he locked eyes with Mumbo, his confusion boiled into anger. 

        "You." He spoke angrily and Mumbo raised his sword.

        "You should be dead." Mumbo spoke just as angrily, no longer scared but full of rage.

       "And yet, I'm not." He smiled a very condescending smile and Mumbo rolled his eyes. 

        "Don't worry, you will be."

        "Oh, I'm so scared. We've fought before, and last time I remember, I pummeled your ass."

        "I was bleeding out of my stomach! You had a bit of an advantage."

        "Ok, can we just skip to the part where I kill you?" Sam remarked and Mumbo slashed his sword down at him. He jumped out of the way last minute and ran into the room he had just exited, slamming the door shut behind him. Mumbo chased after him, running through the door, but when he entered, he didn't see Sam at first. He felt the wind move next to him and turned his body just as Sam came down with his knife. The knife lodged into his arm instead of his chest, where it would have gone if hadn't turned. He yelled in pain as Sam pulled the knife out and went to strike again, but Mumbo used his non-stabbed arm to raise his sword and block the small knife. Sam's arm slid off the blunt side of the sword and huffed in anger. Mumbo jumped away from him, bumping into a table behind him. Syringes rattled as they moved, one even almost fell off of the table. Mumbo grabbed it before it fell and realized it was full of the dark liquid he had seen injected into Grian. He hid it from view of Sam as they continued to fight. Mumbo rushed at Sam, sword raised high and ready to kill. Sam jumped out of the way and stood to the side of the rushing Mumbo. He lifted his leg, and Mumbo ran blindly through it, falling face-first onto the ground. Sam seized the opportunity to get on top of Mumbo and wrestle the sword out of his hand. It clanged across the floor, and Sam laughed.

        "Well, this is familiar, now isn't it?" He remarked as he raised his fist, ready to punch Mumbo repeatedly again. This time, however, Mumbo raised his body up and threw his fist toward Sam's neck. He made contact, and Sam yelped in pain. He got off of Mumbo and held his neck where he had been hit. "What the hell did you just do?!" He asked suddenly before following Mumbo's arm to the now empty syringe in his hand. Sam felt his body weaken, before hitting the ground. He heard Mumbo's voice as he landed.

        "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Not until you wake back up. I want you to be able to see your death before it happens." The brit's voice didn't sound his own, and even Mumbo noticed it himself. Sam's body fell limp and Mumbo stood, somewhat in shock, and somewhat proud of himself. 

Sam's eyes opened and instantly knew something was wrong. He looked around and noticed he was in the room he had kept Grian in for the past few days. Except, unlike every other time he had been in that room, he was the one strapped to the table. The door beside him opened, and a shorter man walked in. His red sweater new and clean, now holding Sam's knife. His favorite knife, given to him by Yuki, the love of his life. Grian walked over to the table and looked down onto Sam, who was not fearful. None of it was real, why would he need to be scared? Grian smiled, and stabbed down at him, hitting him in the stomach. Now he was scared. It may not have been real, but it felt like it was. The pain was real and hurt like hell. He coughed up a surprising amount of blood and Grian sauntered out of the room. Next to enter was someone he never thought he would see again. Taurtis walked in, holding the same knife as Grian had, even though Grian's was still in his stomach. Sam began to panic. There was no way Taurtis would kill him. They had been best friends. He knew Grian was never super loyal, but Taurtis was always there for him. Taurtis also smiled and spoke.

        "Hello, Sam. It's nice to see you again." Just as Sam was going to respond, Taurtis came down onto Sam with the knife, lodging it above where Grian had left his knife. Sam's body tried to shoot up from the table in pain but was still strapped down. He cried out a horrible scream of pain, and Taurtis left the room. Now, Sam was crying. He wasn't exactly sure why, whether it was the pain or the thought that the last time he would ever see Taurtis, he would be stabbing him. Then, the final person entered the room. Sam locked eyes with her and worry began to cloud his mind. 

        "Y-Yuki?" His voice was shaky, and she looked at him intently. "Wh-What are you doing? Come on, you couldn't hurt me." He pleaded, but she just skipped right up to him. 

        "Hello, my little rabbit." She spoke softly, before grabbing onto Grian's knife. She twisted it as far as she could, before moving to Taurtis's knife. She twisted that one as well, as Sam screamed out in pain. He was shaking, but the restraints held him in place. 

        "Yuki... Please... Why?" He said in between sobs, and she laughed a laugh so similar to his. 

        "Because you deserve it." She raised her own knife and struck down. Unlike when Grian stabbed him in real life, she didn't miss his heart. His real body shot to life, but like in his "dream", he was strapped to the table. He looked around the room frantically before finally meeting the eyes of Mumbo standing next to him. Something about the red hot rage in his eyes told Sam that this was the real Mumbo. And when Mumbo's sword came down into his face and ended his life, he knew it was real as well. 

AH! CONTENT! Yeah, here's this. Sucky fight, I know, but I tried. This chapter was super fun to write. Was it slightly out of character for Mumbo, yeah probably. Was it cool? Maybe idk. Also, Hapyhappiness won the shout out challenge thing! They were only one hermit off! You have probably seen me shout this person out before if you pay attention to these little authors' notes, and that's because they are such a nice person. They always vote and comment nice things, they are super nice on my Krii7y discord server (and was also the first person to ever join so thanks for that). They are just overall awesome and I love them. (If you're reading this Hapy, Hi. I love you.) Anyway, thank you for reading! I hope you have a good day/night, and you are lovely.
