124: Underserved life, underserved death.
Liy paced around her room, trying to get used to the pain in her bleeding ankle while she attempted to divise a plan in the short amount of time to do so. She couldn't stay here...Barfbag was up to something and she needed to stop whatever it was. She said she had to deal with things.. and that wasn't good news to anyone. Liy was stressing, having attempted to leave her room multiple times but failed.
She had called for help, despite not even knowing what she would excuse when she did get out and they saw her injuries, as she had to keep quiet about Barfbag. The door was locked tight, and despite her using her knife to attempt to lock pick it, there was no use. It wouldn't budge.. she was stuck in here helplessly, anger boiling inside her every second that passed as she thought of that bitch. Though, it made Liy think about how much everyone must have hated her when she did stuff like this.
What was she goibg to do? What COULD she do? The windows were barricaded plus she was injured on her arm AND her ankle. She was practically half as strong as she usually was. She groaned in frustration over her own failure, looking up irritably.
The air vent..
She tensed up, getting an idea. She spared no time, grabbing the edge of her bed by the side and attempting to flip it over, pushing foward while slowly stepping. She grunted in struggle, and because of her wounds it wasn't as easy as it usually would be, but she managed, knocking it onto its side.
It wobbled a little, the mattress slipping off and revealing the under part of the bed, the part that could be passed off as a ladder due to its design. She grinned at her great idea, attempting to pull the bed up so that it would be standing up right, and then she could lean it against the wall like a ladder.
What could Barfbag be up to? She needed to find her .. was it smart to get involved with her plans, though? She knew Barfbag was a threat.. and that Liy was supposed to be working with her now.
However, when Liy had succeeded and pulled herself through the gap, crawling through the air vent with struggle due to her awkward shape, she passed an airvent which provided a glimpse of Gelatins room underneath, what she saw through the gaps below her was enough to tip her over the edge. Before she didn't care.. before she wanted Two to win. Now.. she.. felt different. She didn't know why, but she knew what she had to do.
So she broke open the hatch and jumped down the vent, breaking into Gelatins room and landing on her feet skillfully as she hopped down from the ceiling. The first thing she saw was Donuts dead body.. Barfbag seemed to be so occupied with Gelatin that in result she didn't notice Liy enter. Liy felt all her fury rise within her as she saw Barfbag fighting him, gritting her teeth before taking a violent slash at Barfbag from behind.
"..Gh- ..What the.. how the HELL did you-?!" Barfbag seethed and grabbed her bleeding arm as she spun around to see Liy, her eyes darting around the room before noticing the vent.. of course. Liy was smarter than she had anticipated ..and more ANNOYING. Barfbag growled lowly, she should have known she would be difficult.
"How many times do I have to FIGHT you, huh?!" Barfbag thundered, letting go of her bloodied arm before lunging at Liy with her knife, beginning to engage in another battle with her. Liy was slower and weaker than Barfbag, but she was determined to help, panting as she yelled and attacked her back.
Gelatin stared, backing up as he was on the floor, pushing against the floorboards with his legs and arm. He was in a state of panic, and was frozen. He couldn't move, his lip quivering as tears trickled down his cheeks and onto his lap, unable to help.. intimidated and overwhelmed. He couldn't think straight, having let out all of his rage to now be stuck in a state of shock.
"You're RUINING everything!!!" Do I really have to KILL YOU to get you out of my way??" Barfbag roared in threat as she rapidly swung the knife, closing in on Liy. Liy stepped backwards gradually. "Yeah, maybe you WILL!" Liy shouted back, not with a smile but with confidence, her voice filled with bravery. Barfbag laughed.
"I admire you ability to keep going, even when all the odds seem to be against you. Why don't you just give up, LIY?!" She snarled in discouragement and hate, thrusting the knife in her direction as she backed up into her. Liy jumped back to avoid the attack, before kicking Barfbag and causing her to stumble messily in the other direction, panting heavily. There was blood on Liys body.. and her arms, ..and legs. She was hurt, but she didn't seem to want to stop.. she was tired, but.. she didn't seem to give in.
Barfbag shook her head and laughed again, in disbelief. She knew that Gelatin wouldn't do anything right now, so knew she had Liy all to herself. Her mouth curled into a smile, but a hateful one. "I'm getting sick of you.. I hope you understand the consequences of what you're DOING.." She seethed threateningly, warning her.
She knew what was wrong with Liy. She had read her file. She knew exactly what had happened to her. She was impressed.. Two had really planned this out from the very start.
Barfbag then yelled in fury after her warming, running over to Liy and going to attack her head on. Liy ducked as the knife came right her way, yelping as she attempted to push Barfbag away agaib. They began to get more physical, Gelatin watching the blurry scene unfold as he slowly stood, his legs practically useless as he felt like he couldn't even stand on them.
He couldn't look at Donut.. but he could see the red and pink mess in the corner of his eye. He still had tears falling, he didn't even have any control over them.. they just kept coming as he watched the two smash into each other and wreck the room as they fought it out.
He managed to get back into a somewhat stable head space, watching Liy... Liy. What the hell was LIY doing here? He was so lost, swallowing before uttering the first thing that came to his mind. "L-Liy..?" He blurted shakily, not understanding why she was here or what she was doing.. why was she fighting Barfbag? They were on the same side.. he was so lost.
"No time to explain-" Liy rapidly shot at him, dodging a swing of the knife from Barfbag. Liy then looked at Gelatin, making eyecontact with him for a moment. "GO! I've got this under control!" She cried, this time more in a pleading way as she was shoved back against the wall by Barfbag.
Liy felt pain surge through her body coming from her ankle, crying out as she knew she must've hurt it more. She shouted and pushed Barfbag back in retaliation, using the knife to try and slash at Barfbag again. The knifes made contact and screeched against each other, knocking BOTH of their knives out of each of their hands.
Barfbag seemed a little taken aback by this sudden occurrence, looking across to her knife in reflex before yelling as she was shoved down into the floor, her back crashing into the floorboards as Liy pounced on her and pinned her, making sure she was trapped under her. Liy then proceeded to deliver a rough and violent punch to her face, not stopping at just one.
Gelatin was trembling, stressed out as he thought of what Liy said, unsure what to do. Was this a trap? He couldn't even bring himself to speak properly, let alone do anything. He felt so broken, and suddenly sick as everything was beginning to set in, him realising the situation that had just happened as the room was filled with the sound of continuous punching.
Liy glanced up at Gelatin momentarily, noticing he was still in a state of shock and fear. She didn't know what else to do.. but she knew he needed to go. He needed to get rid of Donuts body and take it far away from Barfbag, or anyone that might try and take the powers. She looked to the side, pausing her punches for a second. "I said go, Gelatin! I'll take care of Coiny!" She promised, gritting her teeth in anger before harshly punching Barfbag in the face again, watching as she bled from the lip and squeezed her eyes shut.
Gelatin didn't know what to say.. so he didn't say anything as Barfbag was getting beaten. He stared at Liy for a moment to adjust to the fact that she had completely changed, before reluctantly turning his eyes to Donuts dead body. He felt sick immediately, both physically and out of nervousness. He was gone.. he.. he was really gone.
He tried to fight against his unstable emotional state and regain himself, knowing he didn't have a lot of time. He was confused, scared, sick, angry.. and so many other things, glancing towards the body. It made him block everything else out.. and it felt like Donuts corpse was the only thing there. He tried to blink with his one remaining eye, tears forming in it as he speed walked over, wanting to get this over and done with.
He lifted the limp corpse with struggle, trying not to touch any of the filling. Because he had recently died, it didn't feel like he was dead..it felt like he was just lifting his sleeping body.. and that hurt. He swallowed his tears and looked back at Liy, watching as she continued to beat in Barfbags face. Barfbag seemed to be trying to fight back though, so he quickly leaned over to the bed.
Grasping Donuts body, he tried the best he could to swipe up his diary and take it in the same hand. He didn't want to leave it here for multiple reasons. He said nothing as he made his departure, swiftly turning on his heel and swinging open the door, rushing down the corridor while he heard shouting behind him. It was Barfbag.. she was obviously trying to catch someones attention.
He felt his breathing pick up, terrified of being caught as he speedwalked, his eyes on the end of the corridor..what was he even going to do? He needed to get the hell out of the base and take Donuts body, but he had no idea how he was going to pull that off ..he could teleport but..
The band... he needed to get the band off.. he turned into the direction of Twos office, dreading for someone to collide with him or someone to spot the dripping filling that was escaping Donuts huge wound. Gelatin didn't even want to look at him, powering over to Twos door.
Pull yourself together..
He breathed in before opening up the door, making eyecontact with Two, who was not happy to be interrupted. They were sat at their desk, their hands perched on top of it while holding each other. Gelatin made sure Donut was out of the view, and that Two couldn't see his dead body from where they were. "Yes? What is so important that you have to.. hey, what on earth happened to your eye, aye???" Their tone changed immediately, standing and furrowing their eyebrows.
Gelatin avoided tearing up. "There's an intruder in the cafeteria.." he bluntly lied, just wanting to get Two out of the way. Twos eyes widened upon hearing this statement, before pushing their desk out of the way and stumbling to rush out. "Well don't just stand there!!" Two spat at Gelatin in demand, not seeing Donut due to their fast escape, rushing out the door and to where the stairs were, the sound of their running fading out. Gelatin exhaled silently from being out of their presence, intimidated by their height alone.
He had no time to waste, picking up Donut and the diary before rushing into the office... he was the only one there. His gaze was drawn to the desk, scanning over it to spot the band disable device. He looked down at Donuts lidded eyes and limp body, lowering him to lean against the desk, setting the diary down too. Gelatin then grabbed the device, putting his band next to it and waiting.
It beeped. He immediately grasped it and picked it up, putting Donuts wrist next to it so he could do the same thing. He got a little bit of jam on the device but he didn't see it, hearing it beep a second time. It was time to go..
He wasn't sure what was happening with Liy, but knew that he couldn't do anything else right now but leave. He was too overwhelmed to think straight so had hardly given Coiny any thought, grabbing the diary and Donut in his hand once again.
Usually Gelatin couldn't teleport others. But..Donut was dead, so.. he technically wasn't a living object anymore. Gelatin squeezed his eye shut and a tear rolled down his cheek, gripping both tightly to his body before teleporting himself out of there, leaving the office empty.
