(From previous chapter)

I could barely make anything out before loosing consciousness and my body goes limp.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Ox's POV)

...
I woke up? Why is it so blinding, and why does it feel like my energy!? Did the celestials, Origin, or Balance do this? What even happened... My body still hurts from whatever happened.

I sit up with my eyes squinted and try to look around, it's absolutely blinding wherever I try to look. Even the color of the bed I'm on is almost invisible, but it looks like a light blue color from what I could make out.

Knock know.

I snap to look at where the two knocks came from and saw Balance? Why was he in his Creator form? Is this why he didn't back with everyone else?

"Balance? What happened to you?" My voice comes out somewhat raspy as my throat feels extremely dry and coughs a little.

CB: "Why do I feel connected to you... I've never seen you in his memories..." He? It? Seemed confused as it was muttering to itself and approaching the bed somewhat like cat getting closer before it pounces on its prey.

I get as far back on the bed I could and tries to grab my sword but felt it wasn't there... This thing must've grabbed it when it knocked me out.... Damn it..! I try to look for anything I could use as a weapon or to keep the entity at bay.

...

(CB POV)

Why do I feel connected to this person, does he have the same energy as Balance? Why have I not seen him in his memories!? Balance... Please... I'm trying to help you...

Second: "Oi, we're still here. Ya gonna let us out anytime soon?"

Empty: "Yeah, I need to get back to my people. They're probably waiting for me by now."

Fine, but before I send you both to somewhere in the Overworld... Who is Ox? And why do I feel a connection to him?

Empty: "He's the sixth creator created by Dest-"

Second: "More like Psychotic since it was after he killed Balance for the sixth time."

Empty: "That's true, we had to fight him when he was a puppet for Psychotic. He's fine now."

Alright then, I'll send you both off now. I teleported Second and Empty to random places in the Overworld while trying to appear nonthreatening to Ox, now knowing why I feel connected to him.

Ox: "S-stay back! W-what do you want with me!?" He sounded panicked and a little scared? Why does he look scared?

...

(3rd person POV)

Ox freezes in place as CB sits on the bed, seemingly relaxed? More along the lines of confusion than anything. Ox got ready to either strike lightning or fire a fireball if CB tried anything.

Ox: "I'll ask again, what.do.you.want.with.me." he warned CB in a somewhat aggressive way.

CB seemed unfaze and spoke with a blank voice, "Help me with these "emotions," then I'll tell you where Balance is."

Ox's eyes widen in both surprise and confusion. As his guard was lowered, CB grabs him and pulls him into a hug. Ox tried to pull away but CB squeezed him gently, he then gave up trying to escape and lets it happen, somewhat thankful for the hug. CB noticed how Ox seemingly relaxed into the hug and starts to rub his back, feeling happy(?) that Ox is becoming more comfortable around him.

Ox: "I'll help you as long as you do your side of the deal." His voice came out somewhat muffled as his face is pushed against CB's shoulder. As he closes his eyes and appreciating the comfort that he's getting from CB.

CB continues to comfort Ox while feeling a warm feeling inside. And he seemed to feel content with Ox being in his arms.

(Void's (balancer) POV

Finally away from all of those balancers! And even though I had to cause harm to that red and blue one, then again, he was getting annoying with how often he was running circles around me. I was hoping to get the strongest three before taking off, but he had to do for this. I'll get them eventually.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was taking longer than it should've, so I rushed a bit to get it out. Be careful y'all!

???: "All of you confuse me."

Good.
