You're Not my Friend | Old version (Discontinued)

"Alright idiots!" Tori shouted. She and Tord's army were at the edge of the woods, about to search for Tom. "You better not mess this up!" Tori instructed. "If you do however, I will have you stripped of your clothes, hands tied to your back, facing the wall, and prepared to be shot in the head. You understand me!?" The soldiers nodded in unison. "Yes Red Leader ma'am!" They shouted. Tori whipped her head to the end of the line. She walked over and stared at the man at the end of the line. "What did tou just say?" She asked. The man stood up straight. "I said, "yes Red Leader ma'am"." He lied. The soldier's eyes shifted continuously from Tori's chest, to her face. Tori slapped him. "Don't lie to me maggot!" She shouted. The man nodded and smiled sheepishly. "Yes Red Leader sir!" He shouted. "I-I mean ma'am!" Tori took out her gun and quickly shot the man in the forehead. The man's dead body thumped to the ground and Tori turned to face the whole squad. "That's what happens when you cross me!" She shouted, pointing to the body with her gun. "Don't ever make me mad you hear me!?" The soliders nodded in unison. "Yes Red Leader ma'am!" The replied. Tori nodded. "And remember," she started.
"I won't hesitate bitch!"

"Are you sure it'll work?" Edd asked. Tom nodded. "I remember." He said. "You and Matt took me here. I should at least pretend I was lost before going back." The six were in a deep part of the woods, possibly the place Tom "went missing." Edd sighed and hugged himself. "Okay but if something goes wrong.." He mumbled. Tom sighed. "I'm okay." He reassured him. Edd nodded and looked away. "We've gotta go, like now." Matilda said. Ell nodded and checked her watch. "Yep, okaydon'tbestupidandrememberwe'llbeincontactbye!" She exclaimed. She pointed her watch to a random part in the forest and created another portal. She, Tamara, Matilda, and Matt went in. Edd looked back at Tom with a worried expression. Tom smiled and gave him a thumbs up. Edd smiled a bit and nodded. He then turned around and walked into the portal, closing it. Tom sighed and grabbed his gun. "Hope this works." He mumbled.
Tom started to walk around aimlessly into the woods. He pointed his gun at every little sound that cracked, chirped, or even squeeked. He needed to look battle ready and he wanted to be prepared in case the army showed up. Tom heard a twig snap and turned toward the noise, accidentally shooting what was there. Following the figure, was a loud thump. Tom trudged his way over to see what it was. He gasped as he saw the animal. "Whoops.." He said quietly. He cringed at the dead deer's body and slowly backed up. Tom turned back around to continue walking. He started to hear the voices of people. Shouting while feet crunched leaves and broke sticks. Tom nodded to himself. He started to walk a bit faster and turned around. He felt his back hit something and he turned around to point his gun at the figure. He was met with a tall, burly, man in a Red Army soldier outfit. He looked down at Tom and nodded once. Tom copied and kept a straight face. The soldier turned to the rest of the team. "Han er her! Gå tilbake til basen!" He exclaimed. "You. Come." Tom nodded. He didn't want anything stupid to slip out, so he stayed silent.

Arriving at the base once again, Tom was lead by a woman who looked exactly like Tord. Execpt for the fact that she didn't have her right arm. They entered Tord's office, making shivers crawl agaist Tom's spine. He tried to look unphazed, though he did not remember much things that happened in the Red Army base. Worst of all, he didn't know what kind of a reputation he had there. Tom looked at the woman, then back at the office chair that was currently turned around. "Han er her." The woman said. The chair slowly rolled around to reveal Tord. He put his hands on his desk and faced Tom. "Thomas." He greeted. Tom nodded once. "Red Leader sir." He replied. Tord looked at the woman and stood up. He walked over to her, his boots making a small, yet hard, clumping sound. "Jeg tror vi hadde en avtale?" The woman said. Tord nodded. "Ta med hæren din. Jeg antar at du kan være til nytte her." He answered. The woman nodded and left the room. Tord walked back over to his desk and sat back down. "I see you have met your new partner, Tori." He said. Tom nodded. "The girl version they were talking about." He thought to himself. "How was she already here?" Tord stood up again and stared at Tom. "Something seems...different about you Thomas." He said quietly. Tom looked into Tord's eye, which was something he wanted to forget doing ever since their past. "Different sir?" He asked. "How am I different?" Tord looked Tom up and down. "Come." He instructed. "Yes Red Leader sir." Tom replied.
Tord took Tom out into the back of the base where the prisoners dug their graves. Their heads hung low, and their shovels high, all working in unison at the same pace, the same time, and in the same outfit. Tom tried not to show the slightest bit of mercy or pity for these people but he couldn't bear looking at them like that. All sad, hopeless, lost little souls. He was glad Edd and Matt got out the ones they could. Tord faced Tom. "Grab your gun." He said. Tom nodded slowly and took out his gun. Tord looked around the field. "You there!" He shouted. One of the workers looked up. He was scrawny and hollow-cheeked, emaciated to be presice. "Y-Y-Y-Yes Re-Red Leader S-Sir?" He stuttered. "Walk over here! Now!" Tord shouted. The man nodded and tried to make his way over. When walking up to Tord he trembled. "Facing the wall!" Tord shouted. The man slowly walked over to the wall. Tord turned to Tom. "Shoot him." He demanded. Tom froze for a second. "Do it goddammit!" Tord exclaimed. Tom hesitantly aimed his gun at the man. "Why so hesitant?" Tord asked. "Shoot him. He will die anyway." Tom sighed as he straightened his posture and lifted his head up. He heard the prisoner mumbling. "Please..." He cried. "End my pain. Put me out of my misery.." Tom's bottom lip trembled a bit. "I'm so sorry.." He thought. Tom shot the man in the back of his head three times for good measure. Blood splattered everywhere, painting the walls red.
Tom looked away nervously. "Ah yes, nothing like a good kill." Tord said, smiling. Tom wanted to shout at him. He wanted to scream, yell, and for some reason he wanted to cry. He couldn't believe it. The man he once loved, turned upside down by hatred, anger, distress, and became almost emotionless. He wanted to yell at him, ask him, why? Why was he like that? How could he just do that to someone and act like it was a casual Tuesday? Tom knew he had aomething to do with it but everything Tord was doing was completely his own mind. His own thoughts. He wanted to do this. But why?

"I wonder what's going on." Matilda said. She paced around the room thinkig about the possibilities. "67,390,215,382 worlds.." She mumbled. "92,736,828,018,364,628,202,746,289,086 versions...and uh...62,527,283,927,363,547,253..ooooh yes!" Edd stared at her in confusion. "How do you do that?" He asked. Matilda whipped her head around to face him. "Do what honey?" She asked. "The numbers and calculations. Why do you do that, actually?" Matilda sat down in a chair. "Well," she started, "I'm from the way, way, way future. My brain was altered drastically and now I can see different possibilities, versions, worlds, equations, all that jazz. It's really easy." Edd nodded slowly. "Okay." He mumbled.
Tamara sighed as she looked down at the stuffed bear. She sniffled a bit then smiled. "Dumb thing.." She mumbled. "I still do miss you Tori.." Tamara sighed again. "Howdy." She whipped her head to the door frame where Ell was standing. "What's wrong?" She asked, walking over to sit with Tamara. "Nothing." She answered. Ell nodded. "Okay." She said, standing up. She was about to leave the room when Tamara spoke up. "A-Actually.." She mumbled. Ell smiled a bit and sat back down next to Tamara. "I don't feel too good.." Tamara said quietly. "Why?" Ell asked. She looked down at the bear.
"Is that Tammie bear?"
"Y-Yeah. I think so."
"Why are you so sad?"
"I-I guess I just miss Tori.. It wasn't long since our break up and I just wanna pretend like nothing happened."
"Oh.."
"Is it a bad thing if I don't exactly wanna call her the bad guy?"
"Of course not! Listen, Tamara, I know it's hard for you but she's, well she's, changed now."
"What do you mean?"
"What I'm trying to say is, I don't think she's coming back.."
"I-Oh.."
"I'm sorry Tamara, but you've gotta let 'er go. I know y'all had a past together but please try and focus on the present."
"..."
"I'm sorry but maybe after we try and stop this we can get her back."
"..."
"Tam?"
Tamara sniffled and stood up. She put the stuffed bear down and crossed her arms. "Tam I didn't mean it like that!-" Ell exclaimed. "You mean what you say and you say what you mean Ell." Tamara said quietly. "You know what you say and you give it a purpose, you know your purpose and you give it a say.." Ell sighed. "I'm gonna check on Tom." Tamara said. Ell nodded slowly. Tamara walked out of the room and Ell followed.
