cw // swearing , really needed it for this chapter
aside from being surrounded by burned grass after lava scorched the plains and foliage a few hours earlier, things were rather quiet. four, however seemed to be distressed by something, or someone... puffball didn't quite know what to think of it. x was comforting four as she was mumbling something that was barely audible, so she decided not to interrogate for the time being. bell seemed rather worried about four as well, but it took puffball a few minutes to form a question,
"do you think she'll be alright?" puffball asked softly, turning to bell, as to not attract attention from the other contestants, who would rather pick at four, demanding so much from her, even if she wasn't feeling that great. of course, not everyone was like this, but it seemed like it was a great majority who were like that. bell turned to puffball, struggling to give an answer. the two of them sat in silence as four regained composure and did usual hosting duties. puffball rubbed herself against bell gently, of which bell smiled. they usually just sat away from everyone else until a new challenge started, as they didn't really contribute a lot.
however, while four was chasing previously eliminated contestants, a booming voice emitted from the sky,
"hi guys!"
the sound of a squeaky british accent filled everyone's surroundings, throwing a few contestants off guard. four came to a screeching halt, wildly scanning the sky for a specific entity not many had heard about. then he appeared.
with mere inches of distance seperating the numerals, two crashed down with an extremely bitchy smirk on his face. four pretended to forget about twos existence, but with no luck. two approached the contestants with the same look from when he arrived, and clapped twice.
"four is just a stupid little bitch, isn't she?" two asked the contestants, "don't you wish to punt her into the fucking STRATOSPHERE?"
"sometimes i wish i could punt myself, but only after I punt you, you stupid fucking WHORE!" four barked as her mouth foamed. she was not having any of it. two had always had a history of doing everything four could, but better. this was the only time she had something of her own, this game show of so many contestants that she had built up with her wife, and two was probably here to seize most, if not all of it.
"cute." two sarcastically commented, "but you know you can't win me." two rised up and snatched four with his mind, standing up tall in the air, with four squirming around frantically in an attempt to fight back. two rotated slowly to the contestants, as if he were on a turntable. "don't you wish you could do this? don't you wish to have all the power in this world, and more? join my game. it'll be so much better than foury's silly circus she's put on." the contestants stared at two blankly, as if taken under control, and while two didn't see the need to use that power currently, it was still in his possession.
"but we don't even know your name!" bell shouted, "how are we supposed to trust you?!"
unfortunately, contestants already began to compliment two for his cheesy talents. some of the contestants could see the absolute gut-wrenching pain that four was experiencing, she wasn't uttering a single word, she just silently floated in mid air, with tears gently flowing down her face. two let go of his grasp for four and she fell towards the ground, with x luckily being able to catch her. x propped up four with miir arm and looked at her gently, with four beginning to utter something,
"just... go..." four mumbled, defeated.
"what?" x asked her, mostly because mii couldn't her.
"just... go! fucking go! two has already taken everything i worked for, may as well take one of the things i love the most!"
"foury... i would never-"
"you would. i feel like you would."
x looked at her, wiping her tears,
"i'll always be with you, no matter what." mii held her very tightly, with four holding x shortly after.
"not if i have anything to say about it!" two bellowed, as if by magic. he ripped the two of them apart, with his massive grin creating a shine that blinded four temporarily, but instead of crying, she decided to snap.
"you know what, two? im tired of you. in general. why don't you just... just... fucking ROT!"
two sat in silence, before smirking once again and turning to the contestants,
"well, who's absolutely pumped to join my show and win the power of TWO?" two asked the contestants, even striking a peace sign to symbolize a certain numeral.
there was an overwhelming reaction from several contestants, with two taking them away with him, although some were able to escape back to bfb. puffball and bell, though, were captured by two, and due to the lack of limbs, they couldn't escape. four watched them being carried off, shaking her fist and carving a hole in the dry ground.
it wasn't known what would happen next, but it probably wasn't going to be the fairest.
