Revival

It all goes for the best

Lazily taking up my finger and wipe away my tears.

"I spent too much time crying over someone who doesn't deserve my tears. When I find him. I will end him. Forever. Then finally once I erase his name from existence, I will finally become at peace." I say shivering.
When all heck breaks loose it is up to how nothing can ever be made whole again.
I pull strings from my eyes and thread them through the eye of the needle. I begin trying to sew the dust back together. But it was hopeless. You can't always put something that is broken back together.
I slouch down letting my hands fall to the ground and kneel on my knees.
Maybe I'm the crazy one.
Mumbling a soft melody and letting myself feel the dust of his was saddening.
My glowing blue tears turned silver and the dust it was touching pulled back together into a body.
"Outer!" I scream excitedly. I take him back to his house in his AU and lay him on the bed.
Soon after I was vibrating and feeling faint. I ran for refuge into my anti-void before fainting and going out cold.
My eyes open and before me was the face of a liar, a wound that can't be closed. 404.
"Funny I find you here. Thought I taught you better to sleep with one eye open." He taunts.
Leaning forwards to get up I was restricted. Strings? Did he tie me to the ground of the anti-void?
Fixating my gaze at him I glower at him with my fangs barring.
"You didn't age well. I can't believe you came back. How pathetic. But how long can you keep on dying before you run out of magic to keep you alive?" He smiles menacingly.
I fidget and tug at my binds as he reaches for my soul with his strings.
Shattering my soul I had no chance against him. Maybe I am not as good as I thought.
Dying over and over I felt boundless energy, losing my magic stores. I am not even tired yet.
When will he give up trying? He can't end me. My body won't allow me to. Perhaps all the souls I collected are helping me. Or is this of my own volition?
I feel his foot on top of my head.
"You think you are soo. Good do you? Let me give you a taste of endless pain then." He tells me before crushing my skull under his weight.
"Let's see how well you can stand this!" He yells summoning his blasters and strings.
"Yo that is totes unfresh dawg." A voice I can't forget says.
"Listen this is a really bad time right now Fresh. You can leave." I tell him turning my head the opposite way so he can't see what the inside of my skull looks like.
404 looks up at Fresh with a lingering eerie grin.
"This is your friend? I am quite surprised. I never expected you to trust anyone after me." He states gazing down at me from the chokehold he used to hold me down.
"You wouldn't mind if I... You know kill him? Would you?" He asks smitten. His love for murder and hurting people is beyond my level of gone-ness.
I stare at him in silence trying not to show much emotion for the parasite who is clearly nearby. If Fresh senses that I don't mind his closeness with me I would never be left alone.
I already have to deal with him while Firewall, Trojan and Norton are scanning the area and erasing outcodes that can't hide well enough from them.
"That wouldn't be a good idea." I say blankly.
He gave me a confused look.
"What do you mean?" He asks curious.
"I care enough to warn you about him. But if you really want to die. Be my guest." I say swaying my arms to the left to the direction of Fresh behind me.
"You are really funny you know that." He says dropping me.
The most evil plan I have ever created. One would kill the other and I get one less problem to deal with.
However 404 may portal away. He never did show his face to Fresh so he won't know him. Maybe this is a bad plan. Oh well.
All I can do is lay on the floor here and watch.
Fresh corners 404 and 404 is trapped with a parasite blocking him in a trap.
Any further out and he will get teleported within a radius of the center of the anti-void. And Fresh will have him stuck in a loop. My beanbag will make it harder to go around.
The anti-void is filled with areas of glitched code and teleportation codes that will activate if you touch them. They seem to be made to keep things out or keep them in. I can't tell which of the two it is but I do know that I know where all the codes are and how to avoid them. I should be the only one who knows. Yet I don't know how I know them.

Fresh summons a bone attack and leaps forward at him maneuvering his host's body as if he has been doing this for a while.

Yet 404 backs up into the teleportation code and teleports behind Fresh facing the opposite direction. Fresh turns his head quickly and attacks again. 404 seems confused and terrified. 404 opens a portal and portals away.

I look over to the victor. He only won because of the battle ground he was in. He was slightly familiar with it where I live and how things work here. 404 never actually came into my anti-void only a few times just to see if I was alive or if he could kill me. I hope Fresh wining means he won't bother to come here.

"You okay broseph?" Fresh asks.

"Yeah." I breathe pulling up my hood and standing up from the inside of my cardboard box. Which I crawled into hide to so that I don't get dragged back into the fight.

"Who was that guy?" He asks pointing to where the traitor left.

"It doesn't matter, they were just an old friend that can go screw himself." I say ending the discussion.

He gives a look as if he wanted to talk, but understood I wouldn't want to discuss the topic further.

"So, why did you come here?" I ask.

He looks at me with a worried expression. Am I gonna get an answer from him? Fresh stood postured differently with his arms folded over his chest.

"I was running from something." He tells me like a liar.

"I don't believe you." I tell him.

"Why?" He asks.

I give him a good look. it looks like he was making something up.

"What were you running from?" I ask.

"Ah... you got me. I wanted to hang out here then I found you getting attacked." He tells me.

So he was expecting me not to be here? How many times did he come here while I wasn't home just to hang out?

You will never know.

Hey how about you go to Surfacetale?

"No I would rather not. You know I am visible from miles away there because I naturally draw a lot of attention." I tell the voices.

"Who are you talking to?" Fresh asks looking around.

I tell him that I am going to head out. But in truth I am going out so that he doesn't see me like this. Quickly snatching a pair of clothes and portaling out to a random AU.

In the safety of the snowy forest in a white puffy, fluffy sweater and white pants, I see a sentry checkpoint in front of me. Chocked fill with mustard. Then and only then I knew I screwed up.

"Well, well, well. Another flame monster. Who would have guessed free EXP. You know it's better that no one else found you or you would have it worse." Fell's voice spoke from behind me. I also visibly shivered.

Can this get any worse?
