Artiopas 5: Betrayal/Original

Contains strong language and violence.

It has almost been a year since LAR2 was crowned admin. And things were growing rather... interesting.

As the hours progress, the odds of running into a troll are decreasing. I've seen trolls gather all around the building site and build structures representing admins, burn them to ashes, and repeat the process. Nowadays, they barely even place a block, let alone go over there AT ALL. I guess it's probably due to his professional hacking skills... I still don't understand...

We're eleven and a quarter months in, and the admins seem to be growing rather personal with him. Heck, it's not just the admins, the everyday users seem to be telling stories of their day, and LAR2 seems to act as if he's already heard them before as if he's experienced the same through hard friendships and past trial and error.

We still have three-quarters of a month left for his 1 year anniversary, and people are treating him like it's already here.

All I can say is that it's amazing for such a long favored public enemy to become one of the server's best friends...

I decided to walk around the server. I was like a fresh out of the dryer towel, all warm and full of comfort. With peace on the horizon, and with no vandals, I could safely wander without pulling out my banning stick every five seconds.

I liked going for walks. Things change rapidly with the new moderators, as the admins treat them like their children (Kind of). They are loaded with creativity, so they are always coming up with ideas for the server's add-ons. You could expect it to be fun to walk and think. Anyway, I was taking a nice walk through the game halls, when I saw the admins having a chat. I joined in.

 And that's why swing sets make me feel nauseous.

 Cool.

 Yee

 Um.. Ok?

 Oh! Hi, Fico. We're just-

 Discussing one of your bodily issues, again. We get it.

 Yes

 Anyways, LAR2? Can I talk with you alone?

 Sure. Geodashie, remember to get back on that story where you feel happy whenever you eat eggs.

 Okie dokie.

Me and LAR2 budded out of the conversation. We walked off to the quiet areas of the hill, where not very many people gathered, due to the minigames and all of that hoopla.

 Yes? What is this about?

 I just wanted to remember the fierce battle we fought about a year ago.

 Well, we could have just discussed that with the other admins.

 Remember that they were unconscious during this part.

 Oh, right.

 Anyway, remember how you suddenly had a change of heart?

<LAR2> Yes... Why?

<Me> How did you feel remorse that quickly? I mean, judging by all the times you've come back, and how many insults you've thrown at the server, it sounds like you've used to hate this server a lot. So, how did it happen so quickly?

<LAR2> Well, truth is, unlike all other moments I've been on this server, when I saw the admins being dragged around, and by your words and ruthless struggling, I actually thought. I knew I would fail, even though we had the upper arm. I knew things had to change, so I shook hands with you.

<Me> Whoa... You must've really thought hard...

<LAR2> I sure did.

<Fergusia> Admins! Admins!

A player was sprinting towards us. He was full of fear.

<LAR2> Yes?

<Fergusia> There's a vandal insulting players and destroying builds!

<LAR2> That fat sack of dog shit... Sorry that I have to cut this conversation short. Another asshole doing bad things...

<Me> No problem!

LAR2 ran off like the determined admin he was. I knew he was going to have fun.

I spent the rest of the day wandering, stopping by the building site to construct a couple of builds.

Fast forward to LAR2's one year anniversary.
It was a grand celebration. Geodashie did a pretty good job of redecorating Central Square to fit the setting. I was waiting, eager for the ceremony to begin. I actually spent a couple hours redecorating my skin and dying leather armor for this special event. I know, it might sound a little over the top, but this was special for me.

Meanwhile with the Negatorium....
Damn, with LAR2 gone for a year.... it feels like we've been struck hard.

<Lick> Like a stab in the back.


 * Sliding door opens*

Herobrine?

<Herobrine> Yes, it's me.

<Lick> What did you discover?

<Herobrine> They're apparently throwing a cute little party.

<Lick>...You want to sabotage it, don't you?

<Herobrine> Well, what else is there to do? Leave it untouched? We have to get revenge on that "Leader" for betraying us! We were just that close to taking that server when LAR2 spoiled it!

I don't know if this is a good idea...

<Herobrine> Well, are YOU going to betray us as well?

Come on! In every story, we end-

<Me> COME ON! DOES EVERY STORY SERIOUSLY HAVE TO INVOLVE BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL?

Um... Sorry...

<Me> SO, GO ALL HILLY-NILLY WITH YOUR CONVERSATION, BUT WE'RE GOING TO START THIS AGAIN, OK??

Fine...

REWIND
Come on! In every attack, we end up losing.

<Me> That's better.

<Herobrine> Well, do we have a choice?

<Null> null. null null null null.

<Herobrine> What do you mean we "have a choice"? Do we just sit here and mumble with our puny lives, or we take that server by force and show our true power?

Woah! What got up your ass?

<Herobrine> I DON'T KNOW! MAYBE ANGER AND DREAD FOR THE ONE WHO BETRAYED US?

<Lick> EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Silence filled the room as Lick's scream echoed through the base.

...

<Herobrine> Sorry. My sanity was plundered for a second there...

<Lick> That's better.

Let's just go. This story-

<Me> >:(

I stared at him with a mighty rage, recommending him not to finish that sentence.

Let's just go. We can't just sit here for the rest of our lives and sulk at this betrayal.

<Herobrine> Yeah.

<Null> null "agree" javascript.error null.

<Lick> Okay.

BACK AT THE SERVER...
The ceremony was about to begin, everyone found seats briskly and sat down, eager to see the ceremony begin. Adam was also crowned admin, for a special reason, anyway.

<LAR2> Adam, Can you watch over the colosseum and make sure those Negatorium bastards don't arrive, I have a feeling that they'll be here to spoil every last piece of this party.

<Adam> Definitely.

Adam exited the coliseum, patrolling the perimeters to make sure everything was secure. As I watched him exit, I noticed Eggman and Deezknots were out there, waiting for him. Either LAR2 or Geodashie was serious about potential invaders, or that they were uninterested in giving a speech or paying attention. I'll go with the first one.

MIDWAY THROUGH THE CEREMONY...
<Geodashie> He is a great admin, although having a tough history.

As Geodashie was giving his speech, I heard grunting coming from the coliseum windows. I turned around to see what it was. Apparently, it wasn't a big surprise.

PUNY.

I saw 303 choke Eggman and use some dark energy to blast him towards a tree. In shock, I quickly exited the coliseum with my diamond sword in hand. I ran and attempted to slash 303 down with my sword.

You missed, comrade.

<Me> Um... I'm not you.

??

<Me> Get it? Because you're stupid!

<Geodashie, LAR2, Adam, Eggman, Deezknots and the rest> OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

stop.

<Me> ok.

Anyway, I'm so glad you decided to join in with this little fiesta.

<Eggman10> THIS ISN'T A FIESTA THIS IS A BATT-

Quiet, you peasant.

<Eggman10> PEASANT? WHY YOU LITTLE!!!

Eggman ran towards 303, he teleported away. He turned around. 303 Grabbed on to his neck with a painful grip. Adam rushed towards 303, attempting to evade 303's grabs, but he was just too quick. Eggman punched 303, loosening his grip, allowing him to kick him in the chest, pushing him away. Unfortunately, 303 teleported, ready to punch Eggman away, but perfect timing, LAR2 appeared, punching 303 towards a tree.

<LAR2> Let me guess, you're here to soil my anniversary, at the worst time.

yes.

<LAR2> Well that's not going to work out for you.

I just love how persistent you are. It's so charming.

303 stomped the ground. Dust flew everywhere as the ground 303 and LAR2 were on separated, lifting up about 3 feet into the sky.

Rejoin us.

<LAR2> You expect me to rejoin that joke you call the "Negatorium"?

You like the Negatorium. It's your favorite thing, remember?

<LAR2> What makes you think that, you fool?

We were your friends. You were our leader. Come on. You miss the old days, do you?

<LAR2> I hate the Negatorium... I betrayed you all and I will keep the promise... I am on Fico's side AND I'M NEVER LEAVING!!!!!

So you're going to relentlessly toss us away and join that slob, Yoshfucko?

<LAR2> Don't you dare make fun of Fico, he's my friend! And I'm not gonna betray him! So fuck off!

It was never easy to begin with, was it?

Switching to LAR2's perspective
303 slammed the ground, enlargening it. I couldn't see Fico, Eggman or Deezknots anymore. The only one who could root for me was myself.

Join us once more... You were our leader... We need you to order us.

<LAR2> My heart isn't that easily changed.

IS IT?

303 earthbent a giant rock and threw it towards me. I dodged.

Come on. You miss the good old days, don't you?

<LAR2> I. Am. Good. You shall never get me to rule the Negatorium EVER!!!

You don't seem easy to change. Too bad I have the other members with me.

303 did some arm signal. His goons came over.

Is it time?

<LAR2> YOU SHALL SUFFER THE WRATH OF OUR SERVER NEGATORIUM! I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS STALLING ANY LONGER!

<Herobrine> But you have nobody behind you.

<LAR2> But that doesn't mean I'm not strong by myself.

Null! Teach him a lesson!

<Null> null. null null null glitch null!

*facepalm*

303 earthbent another rock. I dodged again but merely dodged a second one hurtling my way.

Enough games.

This time, he earthbent some tall rocks. I jumped rock through rock. Good thing I parkoured yesterday.

<Herobrine> He's a tough cookie.

I eat cookies for breakfast...

<Herobrine> That's not a very wholesome breakfast.

It's a metaphor you fuck!

303 earthbent a maze. That's right. A MAZE. It was moving much slower than the other obstacles, about a meter per minute. I had no time to waste. I navigated the maze, relying on luck and dead ends to find the exit. I did it.

<Herobrine> ...Do you eat them for dinner, too?

Stop.

303 earthbent a figure of sandstone. I didn't know what he was creating until it turned to sand and blew away. The sand was covering a zombie. More sandstone covered the zombie and faded, revealing iron boots and a diamond sword.

<LAR2> This is pointless.

Not enough? Okay.

There were now ten Zombies... each equipped with enchanted diamond armor and swords.

I pulled out my smite stick. It was fairly easy to take down those wimps with my trusty stick.

<LAR2> Ten zombies lost to a stick. Ugh. Heavy breathing. That was very difficult. I was so scared. Omg.

NO MERCY

303 was now angry. he summoned a lot of walls, and there were two zombies, each one spawned at the edge of the walls. The walls then rushed towards me, lifting right at the center. I quickly rushed to the center, barely avoiding the first wall. I killed the zombies, but more took their place. I killed them, but more came. I killed about 10 of them before the walls and zombies stopped spawning.

<LAR2> Ugh... Is this going to be over?

One last puzzle.

I waited. where was it?

<LAR2> So?

I thought you might ask where it is.

<LAR2> Okay? So where is it?

Join us.

303 stomped the ground. It became smaller.

<LAR2> I told you, I AM N-

Shut your mouth. You don't have an option.

<LAR2> I do! I'm not joining you!

<Herobrine> Remember, you were our leader. You lead us. You loved us.

<LAR2> My heart isn't easily changed! I told you that!

Stop resisting. You don't want this.

<LAR2> I'm not joining you! I quit on you and that's final!

Or maybe that's the second final.

<LAR2> Stop.

Join us.

What were they doing? Why were they persisting like this?

I insist you join us.

<LAR2> I insist you shut your mouth!

We need you.

<LAR2> Stop! You can't...

I felt a pain in my chest. It wasn't physical, it was emotional. What were they doing to me?

<LAR2> You can't... do.... this....

No. Keep your ground, LAR2. Fight it.

<LAR2> I'm... not joining you!!

I know you're regretting your choices. You're in there somewhere.

<LAR2> St-Stop!!!!

That's why I have to get you out.

303 stomped the ground. It enlargened. He earthbent some more zombies, as two large sandstone sticks emerged from the ground.

This had to end.

The sticks rushed towards me as I struck the zombies down. Felt good, but I still had the sticks to avoid. I got out of the way as they raced towards me, nearly crushing me. I wasn't done, though. They rose up to the sky, and their bottoms turned to dispensers. They progressively moved across the stage as they shot flaming arrows. I dodged them all.

Give up?

<LAR2> Ugh... no!

The pain was stronger. It felt too strong for me. I still had to fight it.

<LAR2> You...are...just as weak...as...

As what?

<LAR2> As a speck of dus-st!

<Herobrine> He's still fighting it.

Just a little more then.

The sticks widened, and they planted in the ground. They slowly moved in towards me as arrows were coming from random directions. I moved out of the way of the walls as they almost crushed me. They passed through each other.

<LAR2> I'm not giv-iving up..!

Stop fighting it. let it take your body.

It was strong. I had flashbacks of players laughing at me. Those feeble laughs...

I fell to my knees. The walls disappeared and the arrows stopped firing. I was almost crying.

We got him back. Well done, leader.

I'm sorry, Fico... I've failed to fight it. I hope you can.. can fight it... your... CAN FIGHT THE DREAD THAT'S COMING TOWARDS YOU!!

Back to fico's Perspective
I couldn’t see LAR2. The island was taking up too much space. Judging from the heavy banging and relentless screaming, it sounded like he was putting up a good fight. It was 30 meters up in the sky though, so I couldn’t make out very much. It wasn’t until 15 minutes that I saw the island shrink, lowering back down to the ground. 303 was holding LAR2’s back while LAR2 was twitching mildly. What was going on?

<Me> LAR2?

<LAR2> I’m sorry, Fico.

I was confused. What was he sorry about?

<Me> What?

<LAR2> I’m so very sorry…

303 let go of LAR2 as he sprinted towards me at full force. He punched me with extreme force, knocking me into a tree.

<Me> Ouch!

What has happened to him?

Check if he’s… Okay.

<LAR2> I GIVE COMMANDS, WHITE HOOD. but good idea though

LAR2 stomped towards me with a fierce look. He kneeled down towards me. I played dead, hoping he wouldn’t notice me breathe. He didn’t.

What happened to him? This wasn’t the LAR2 I remember.

<LAR2> I THINK HE’S DEAD. FRESHLY KILLED.

Good. Now what are your commands?

LAR2 slowly pointed to Eggman.

<LAR2> PUNISH.

Yes, sir!

303 punched Eggman swiftly, but Eggman luckily dodged every one of them.

Grr…

303 finally landed a hit, knocking him to the coliseum. It caused a large bang, easily scaring away lots of players. They disconnected, worried about their lives. 303 eventually hit Deezknots with a good backstab. It wasn’t a surprise that Geodashie came out of the coliseum, rushing towards the ruckus.

<Geodashie> The fuck is going on here?

<LAR2> MEAT.

<LAR2> I WANT TO HAVE SOME FUN, GEO. STAY HERE.

<Geodashie> Answer my question. WHAT. THE. FLYING. FUCK. IS. GOING. ON. HERE.

<LAR2> SPEAKING OF FLYING FUCK…

LAR2 became a…”flying fuck”. Yep. He was flying. It wasn’t long before the other Negatorium members joined in. I stayed down, hoping to backstab them before it was too late.

SKIPPING UP UNTIL THE INTERESTING PART.
I spent days hiding behind those bushes with Adam. He was the only surviving player after… Welp, it’s Artiopas all over again.

<LAR2> THIS IS A GLORIOUS DAY!

Yes, it sure is, sir.

I went further into the woods. I didn’t want him noticing me, he isn’t anything of what I remember.

<Adam> I guess we can only assume the worst.

<Me> No. This can’t happen.

<Adam> He’s grown a lot stronger than before. Artiopas and Uponaken was nothing compared to this.

<Me> I fought him twice, I can fight him thrice.

<Adam> This is a bad idea, dude.

I felt a wave of fear hit me in the chest. Maybe he was right?

<Me> You’re right… I can’t fight him, especially after I taught him my tips and tricks.

<Adam> We are the only surviving two. I don’t want this to happen…

No… What was I doing.

<Me> We can’t just hide here forever, though. God knows what he’s planning on doing with this server…

<Adam> Well what do we do?

I paused for a minute and thought. No. We were fighting. I remembered about two diamond swords in my inventory.

<Me> I knew these would come in handy.

<Adam> What? What are we doing?

<Me> We’re fighting. We aren’t going to sit around like this and let The Negatorium take the server like this.

<Adam> I’ve never killed anybody before… Even when I agreed to guard the coliseum, I was only there to point out the enemies, not assault them.

<Me> We can beat LAR2. I know him, and his heart is easily changed.

<Adam> The thought of using it against LAR2 is terrifying… let alone slicing his heart.

<Me> No. I meant talking some sense into him. I know him like the back of my fist.

<Adam> Okay… If this is the only way out…

Adam was hesitant at first, but I convinced him that he needed to slice. He agreed.

<Me> Okay. Our first thing to do is to duck behind the coliseum and cause a scene. This will distract the nearby guards, giving us time to sneak into the other side of the forest.

<Adam> Why don’t we just cross THROUGH the forest instead of taking a dangerous and potentially deadly shortcut?

<Me> Distracting the guards will give us a better chance to go places easier. Plus, lots of coils and wires go through the coliseum. If we strike it at the right time and angle, we can shut the power off everywhere.

<Adam> If you say so.

Me and Adam positioned ourselves correctly. We were ready to strike.

Me and Adam rushed towards the coliseum. Swords in hand, heart at pulse, we were ready. We used all of our stamina to strike down the base. Lucky shot. It worked. Nearby guards seized the chance to check out what happened. We bolted, heading towards the main fortress, likely where LAR2 was.

Switching to LAR2’s perspective
<LAR2> STATUS UPDATE! 303, WHAT’S NEW?

Apparently, the colisseum was struck down.

<LAR2> WHAT??!! I KNEW WE SHOULD’VE HIRED THE BUILDERS TO RENOVATE!

Sir. We did.

<LAR2> oh okay. BUT WHAT HAPPENED?

I don’t know… we can only assume that it was a structural failure.

<Geodashie> lar2… this isn’t like you…

<LAR2> QUIET PEASANT!

<Eggman10> Peasant?

<LAR2> I WASN’T TALKING TO YOU.

<Agnryman10> NOW LISTEN UP HERE YOU FAT SACK OF SHIT!!! IF I WASN’T TIED UP IN THESE RUSTED AS FUCK CHAINS, I WOULD BEAT THE FUCKING LIFE OUT OF YOU UNTIL YOU HELD THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORD OF HEIGHT!!! NOW IF YOU DARE FUCK WITH MY MAN GEODASHIE AGAIN, I WILL FUCK WITH YOUR FACE LIKE A TODDLER PLAYING WITH BUILDING BLOCKS!

<LAR2> YOU’RE CUTE, BUT JUST STAY THERE IN THOSE CHAINS. YOU LOOK NICE IN THEM.

<Agnryman10> NICE? YOU FUCKTARD! JUST WAIT UNTIL I GET MY FISTS ON YOU, THEN I’LL TEACH YOU WHAT LOOKS NICE ON YOU, YOU FUCK-

<Geodashie> Forget it, Eggman. Flaming him isn’t going to do very much.

<LAR2> VERY GOOD, GEODASHIE.

<Geodashie> shut up you don’t matter to me

<LAR2> NO, BUT WHAT DOES MATTER TO ME IS THAT WE STILL HAVE TWO ADMINS MISSING, FICO AND ADAM. I HUNGER FOR FICO MOST OF ALL. HE’S THE ONE I WANT TO GET MY HANDS ON.

Do you want to search for him? He could be a reason for the failure of the coliseum.

<LAR2> yes

Okay then.

Back to fico
<Me> I guarantee that we might be spotted soon.

<Adam> No shit! Destroying the coliseum was a large scale idea, anyway!

Me and Adam had snuck into the back storage room while we were sprinting. It was a rather tough challenge, but it was possible.

<Adam> What do we do now?

<Me> We go deeper. Kill ANY guard you see.

<Adam> Okay…

Adam was shivering a bit.

<Me> What’s wrong?

<Adam> I still can’t sustain the thought of killing.

<Me> Come on! You struck down the coliseum!

<Adam> Well, the coliseum was inanimate, and I was just slicing down stone, not living and breathing creatures!

Blah blah blah, guards in the halls, 303 beaten, John Cena is Little Mac, LAR2 roasted, let’s get to the part you want to hear, okay?
<LAR2> HOW DID ALL OF OUR DEFENSES FAIL?

<Herobrine> Apparently, Fico and Adam are in the main corridor.

<LAR2> THEN SET A TRAP! I WANT FICO AND ADAM TO BE TIED UP IN CHAINS JUST LIKE THE OTHERS.

<Herobrine> Sir? They’re already in the room. We can’t set a trap.

<LAR2> OKAY. NOW GET LOST. I WANT TO SAVOR THIS MOMENT.

<Me> Me too.

<LAR2> YOU JUST DON’T SEEM TO QUIT, DO YOU?

I felt a tingling sensation on my back. It wasn’t a feel of nervousness, it was a dark presence. Something grabbed me from behind, and dragged me away from the battlefield.

Switching to Adam’s perspective
The dark prescence that dragged fico away wasn’t recognizable. It was just darkness, dragging him away. He was struggling to move, and he was doing everything in his power to move, but he just couldn’t move.

<LAR2> WELL, ADAM. LOOKS AS IF YOU ALL BY YOURSELF.

<Adam> Uh…

<LAR2> Without fico, you’re powerless.

<Adam> Um…

<LAR2> I CAN TELL YOU’RE AFRAID. THAT SLOB FICO HAS DONE STUFF TO YOU.

<Adam> Stop…

<LAR2> TWO CHOICES. JOIN US, HAVE POWER, AND LIVE. REFUSE, AND YOU WILL DIE.

I was fearing for my life. I didn’t want this to happen. It all came down to this. A relentless onslaught of betrayal.

A friend, dragged away from me just like that.

Dragged away from us just like that.

His heart is bewitched with no protection.

And he wasn’t the one I remember.

…

Which is why I’m finally going to take action.

<Adam> T-two-two wor-rds…

No. Keep your ground. He’s nothing.

<LAR2> ADAM…

<Adam> Don’t you dare refer to me as Adam, you bucketbrain.

<LAR2> I DON’T LIKE YOUR TONE…

<Adam> You aren’t supposed to like it.

<LAR2> ADAM, COME, OR BE DESTROYED.

He’s nothing.

<Adam> Two words. Fuck. You.

<LAR2> SO YOU PICKED THE HAR-

<Adam> Shut it. Fico wasn’t a relentless slob.

<LAR2> ?

<Adam> He taught me one thing, and that is life isn’t a merry go round. This place is more of a minefield at that. You need to fight sometime in your life. Being a pacifist is impossible when it comes to this world, because you need to swing your sword at least once in order to survive those extra few years.

<Herobrine> He’s not giving in.

<LAR2> COME ON ADAM.

<Adam> Don’t try that crap with me. Joining you is probably one of the last mistakes I would ever make, and that’s why I’m not doing so.

<LAR2> ADAM… WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU?

<Adam> Nothing. I’m the exact same as before. You’re the one who’s different from who you used to be. If I have to swing my sword at least a million times to save this server from your hands...

I drew my sword with a steady, but tight grip in my hand. I was ready for the future. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy.

<Adam> Then that is what I must do.

<LAR2> OH ADAM…

LAR2 hopped onto the battlefield, drawing his sword.

<LAR2> You really are naive.

LAR2 ran towards me with his sword, pointed right at me. I dodged.

<LAR2> What?

<Adam> You missed, comrade.

<LAR2> GRR…

He swung at me with a quick tone. He did it again. I dodged every swing. He struck at me. I knew my sword would come in handy.

<LAR2> PUNY.

He jolted his sword upward, throwing it into the air.

<Adam> I’m just warming up.

I jumped upward, grabbing it, and attempting to land on LAR2 with my sword. He dodged. I’m quick.

<LAR2> GAH!

<LAR2> NO, I’M WARMING UP, TOO!

It’s time to finish exploiting my potential. This cookie think’s he’s tough? I eat them for breakfast.

<LAR2> LAST CHANCE, ADAM.

<Adam> Pfft. I doubt that you can actually turn the tide this late.

<LAR2> I PROBABLY CAN’T, BUT MAYBE MY GOONS CAN.

GOONS?

<LAR2> JUST GET OVER HERE.

LAR2’s goons came over. More cookies to munch down on.

<LAR2> ATTACK!

His goons came right at me. Herobrine and Lick came after me, I struck the down easily. 303 was tricky to surpass. He struck a good hit on me. It was a struggle to knock him down. I did so, kicking his body away.

<LAR2> ...LET’S NOT GET HASTY…

<Adam> Holy fuck. Have you seen yourself?

<LAR2> COME ON. THIS ISN’T YOU.

<Adam> Say that to yourself.

<Adam> Where’s the LAR2 I remember? Did he go to Aruba? I don’t think so. He’s in there somewhere.

<LAR2> STOP.

<Adam> I’m getting him out.

I drew my sword. 303 got up somehow and ran off. He wasn’t my target at the moment, though. Fico would be proud. We were both at half a heart. Any strike would do.

It was a tense game. It was whoever drew first blood would be the victor.

Sword in hand. It was time to end this.

We ran towards eachother. Fico seemed to be escaping the dark presence and the rusty chains captivating the admins were coming loose.

My game.

<LAR2> THIS IS MY GAME. I WILL RESPAWN, AND YOU’LL EVENTU-

He froze midway through his bluffing. What was he doing?

SWITCHING TO FICO’S PERSPECTIVE.
I could only assume that Adam put up a good fight. Well, I know that because I broke free from whatever was holding me and jogged over to him, where he had his sword in hand, and LAR2 was to the ground. The admins broke from the chains, coming down to LAR2. He was as still as a statue.

<Geodashie> What is he doing?

<Agnryman10> I DON’T CARE WHAT THE FUCK HE’S DOING! I WANT TO SLAM HIS FACE ACROSS THE-

<Geodashie> Shut up you flaming fuck! I wasn’t talking to you!

<Eggman10> ok

LAR2 fell to the ground. His body was still, but his eyes were focused on the ground like a statue.

<LAR2> y o u f o u g h t i t. . . t h a n k y o u. ..

<Me> What?

<LAR2> 3 0 3 i s s t i l l a l i v e. . . s t r i k e h i m d o w n b e f o r e h e t a k e s m y f r e e d o m a g a i n. . . q u i c k. ..

<Me> Where is he?

<LEAR2N> J U S T G E T I T D O N E ! ! ! ! !

Before we could figure out what was going on, 303 came out of nowhere, leaped to LAR2, grabbed him and levitated 5 feet above the ground.

PERSISTENT, EH?

<LAR2> j u s t g o. . . p l e a s e. ..

SOME “LEADER” YOU WERE.

<LAR2> Go, i don’t want anything to do with you…

THE NEGATOR-

<LAR2> FUCK THE NEGATORIUM! I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO CLOSE DOWN THAT PATHETIC DUSTBIN YOU CALL A GROUP! I WAS NEVER ON YOUR SIDE, OKAY? YOU BRAINWASHED ME. THAT’S NOT REJOINING!

<Eggman10> oh damn hes good

<LAR2> HERE’S MY ADVICE; YOU WANT A LEADER? ADOPT THE GROUP YOURSELF! YOU’VE KEPT TOGETHER THAT DUSTBIN FOR A YEAR, SO YOU CAN KEEP IT TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER! ALTHOUGH I’M NOT SURPRISED BECAUSE THE MOST YOU CAN DO IS JUST THAT; KEEPING A DUSTBIN INTACT!

<Eggman10> oh fuck man he’s got roasted

Stop…

<Geodashie> He’s right, you know. Stop attacking us and manage the group yourself instead of making us fork over a friend.

It was never easy to-

<LAR2> NO!! YOU’RE A MADMAN THAT DESERVES EVERY FUCKING MOMENT BANNED FOR HURTING OUR PRECIOUS SERVER!!!! IF YOU COME BACK HERE, I WILL TIE YOU TO A CHAIR AND MAKE MY ALT ACCOUNT KILL YOU!!!!

<Geodashie> Calm down, man.

...

303 lost grip on LAR2. He landed softly.

I’ll admit. You’re tough, and you’ve defeated Herobrine and Lick. I don’t know where null is…

MEANWHILE WITH NULL’S PERSPECTIVE…
<Null> NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL!!! NULL NULL NULL!

Null null null null. Null. Null null null! Null null null null null null null null. null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null!!! NULL NULL!!! NULLAHU NAKBAR!!!

(If you are offended by 9/11 jokes, I’m sorry.)

BACK TO FICO…
<Me> I honestly don’t care.

Look, I’ll be back. And when I am back, I'll be bigger and badder than ever. I will make history, and I'll be the leader.

303 dissappeared.

Yep. He dissappeared.

That’s it.

I know he’ll be back though.

And instead of LAR2…

...We’re facing his right hand man.

I know it.

THE END.
