Night time had finally arrived.. and finally the group Needle found had prepared to attack and try and free the prisoners that had been trapped by Rs and the gang. Of course.. they were nervous, and some of them were reluctant (PDA) but they were determined to get this over and done with.

It was dark out.. but not pitch black just yet. The sky was a darker shade of blue, with a tinges of orange at the edges. There was a full moon out, and it blended with the clouds above. Stars were beginning to appear .. it would get dark soon... the sun had disappeared completely, and it was cold.

The snow hadn't quite stopped, but at this point it was harmless. PDA grumbled as they tread through the snow, hitting some away with his crowbar "Remind me why we are doing this again?" He inquired to Leek, who simply ignored him.

"Can you stop complaining all the time?" Onigiri shot tiredly, shoving him lightly and making him stumble "H-Hey! Do you want me to die?! If too much water gets into me, I'll get destroyed!" He barked.

"Ugghguug.." Needle complained audibly, rubbing her head and causing PDA to glare at her "We are doing you a favour! Don't be so ungrateful!" He told off.

Match gently sighed and kicked some snow away, looking over to Leek as the other were bickering among each other. "How much further is it..? We've travelled for like, around a few hours.."

"Mg.." they tried to squint and observe ahead, struggling to adjust to the darkness "It's..hard to see while its so dark. Eveything is kind of just a silhouette.." they concluded, crossing their arms. PDA scoffed, gasping  "No! Really? That is quite the story. Are you sure?" He sarcastically spat.

Leek glared at him sharply, before turning back around " ...I ..think that's it." They pointed to the close distance, everyone looking over. "There's light. They're probably still awake.. so we have to be careful." It was a large building.. with some sort of glow around it from the inner lighting. That seemed like a reasonable conclusion..

"I-Is that really it?" Onigiri stammered, fidgeting "Ah.. I'm actually a little nervous now.."

"Are you guys.. still sure you still wanna do this?" Needle gazed over to everyone else, observing each of their expressions..it was mixed. "Yes.. I do.." Match spoke up, affirming her. "The others do too.. Needle. It's..dangerous but, like, we have to do something..."

"Or we could go home." PDA muttered under his breath. Match kicked him, "What?!" He hissed as if he had done nothing wrong, brushing himself off.

Leek glared back at everyone, continuing to walk "Please be quiet for the moment? We are nearing close.. they may hear us if we aren't careful." They warned aggressively, growling through their teeth as they were frustrated with everyone arguing. "This is serious..PDA.. do you have the paper clips prepared?"

"Hm.. I do." PDA grumbled, putting his crowbar under his arm and pulling one out, pinching it between his fingers and huffing "Perhaps I will not be so kind if you continue to-"

A gust of wind took them all by surprise, the weather picking up. PDA stumbled, Needle brushing herself off from the snow. "L-Lets ...go, fast. We need to get there and return before the weather is too much.." Onigiri nervously pointed out, looking at them all in concern.

They all hushed up and trailed closely to the building.. the glass roof was covered in thick snow, and icicles hung from above. The light from inside still somehow managed piece the coat of snow on the roof, illuminating the surrounding area in a yellow light, attracting the group and giving them sight of the darkenend outdoors. They took a few minutes to get just close enough to it, slowing down once they arrived at the large doors. A feeling of anxiety was beginning to set within them.

Needle exhaled shakily..she hadn't seen this place for a while. She really hoped her friends were still okay .. it had been quite a few days since she left them. Match looked to her with concern, holding her shoulder.

"Well?" Leek expected Needle to say something "Is this where we are supposed to be, Needle? I assume they are trapped in the warehouse area.."

"Th-They should be.."

PDA let out a sigh of exhaustion, walking up to the doors. "You owe me, Leek." He grumbled unhappily, bending out the paper clip and twirling it in his fingers, before putting it in the lock, attempting to open the door with it.

Match gripped the plank she had brought with her, looking at Needle worriedly "You sure you'll be okay without a weapon?"

"I'll..be fine. Please be safe, Match." She stressed, looking to the side "I don't want you to get hurt.. or any of your friends.."

Match looked at the doors. She was uncertain that she could keep that promise.. so didn't reply. Leek squinted and gripped the taser, watching PDA work on the doors closely..

There wasn't much sound coming from the inside... which could be both a good sign or a bad sign.. so it was hard to to tell what to feel right now.

Eventually, a hopeful click was heard. PDA raised an eyebrow and dropped the paper clip, stepping back with his crowbar. "Take the lead, Leek."

Leek inhaled, holding their taser in front of them with both hands. "Get behind me.." they gritted their teeth, looking back at everyone with demand. They followed their order, and trailed closely behind them as the group began to creep up to the doors.

Leek pushed it open slowly with their hand, light spilling out onto the snowy ground. They peered through the gap, trying to make out what was around.. Rs and the group were nowhere to seen.. but the cages were. They were surprised to see everyone separated into their own areas, slowly opening it up more and slipping through the door... so she wasn't lying after all?

"Hurry." They told the others quietly, keeping their gun pointed up as they made their way inside. Everyone slowly began to follow foot, doing as Leek instructed.

Tree was the first one to notice the arrival of the group, perking up. He stood up from the shock, looking around "H..H-hey! Hey- Robot Flower-" he whispered loudly, trying to grab her and shake her through his cage.

She groaned irritbly and brushed him off "What do you want, Tree?" Her words were filled with annoyance, half asleep.

He scoffed "What did I do to annoy you?? Look-" he spat defensively, pointing to the arriving group. Robot Flower was confused, standing up as well "H-Hey.. is that.." she trailed off.

"Needle?" Tree finished her sentence, watching as Needle snuck through the doors. "And..Match? But I thought she was-"

Anchor was immediately interested as the group made their way inside carefully. "W-Wait..-" they were the group from the radio.. the voices, he remembered who they were "Th-Those are the guys from the radio, remember?"

Nickel was sleeping so he wasn't catching up with any of this. Tree glanced around wearily "Wh-What are they doing? What if Rubber Spatula comes?"

Anchor gave a hopeful weak smile as the group was approaching..Leek was surprised to see that Anchor was there, just as Needle claimed he would be. They lowered their taser as they walked to Anchors cell, grabbing a bar "A-Anchor? They...captured you too?"

"L-Leek! I'm so happy to see you-" He whispered cheerfully, trying to be as quiet as possible.

"Needle! You're okay- and you're back-" Robot Flower excitedly spoke "I can't believe.. you actually made it.."

Needle nodded, rubbing the back of her head "Yeah- I'm getting you the hell out of here. Quick..PDA-" She looked back at him "The paperclips?"

He sighed defeatedly, putting his crowbar under his arm and taking more of them out, holding his hand out and handing one to her blindly "I told you..I-" he heard the sound of running, turning his body to look behind himself reluctantly "Oh dear-"

Winner spirnted up to the group, panting "Stop it! What are you doing?!" They yelled, holding a crowbar above themselves to signal swinging it. Leek backed up, holding the taser in front of them "You too, Winner?! You're apart of this?!"

Winner didn't get a chance to reply as the rest of the group came running towards them. Needle whined impatiently and began to speed up attempting to unlock the cage, her hands shaking from having to rush due to the sudden commotion, almost dropping the paper clip. Match squeaked and swung the plank of wood in her hand out in defense, knocking Tape over as he arrived.

Rs was nowhere to be seen.. Leek wasn't sure to take this as a good sign or not.

Anchor backed up against his cage as he watched a fight break out, Needle yelling in a mix of surprise and agony as Shopping Cart crashed into her to make her stop what she was doing. She smashed her metal head against the cage bars, groaning and feeling her face in pain.

Rf picked up the bent paper clip that Needle dropped, working on the lock instead. She was panicked, her vision darting back from the lock to the fight. There was so much commotion. "N-Needle.. get up! They're coming!-" She cautioned shakily, filled with nervousness, trying to nudge her with her leg.

PDA backed up, stumbling over Purple Face as he did it intentionally to make PDA fall. PDA gasped out and crashed to the ground, trying to back up along the floor and swing his crow bar at him, gritting his teeth intensely. Pf moved away, attempting to snatch it with his mouth to pry it away from him.

Onigiri wasn't sure what to do, she knew she could be easily broken.. just the smallest hit could cause her to crumble apart. She wanted to help but it was so rough.. she looked over at PDA, rushing up to him as he kicked Purple Face away. "G-Give me the clips-" she demanded, darting her eyes around at everyone fearfully as she held out her hand expectantly.

He handed them to her without arguing, running off to help Match as she was being attacked. Onigiri fumbled with them and rushed to the cages, holding them in her hands as she tried to kneel to a cage, picking one to use. Nickel, now awake, backed up against the bars in fear of what was happening, Tree gripping the metal and watching attentively "N-Needle! Needle, are you okay?!" He tried to ask, her only just now managing to lift herself from the ground.

"I'm fine-" she waved her hand at him and looked back at Match, who was currently fighting Tape with PDA. Match suddenly backed up in realisation, watching as he prepared his flame thrower, squinting "W-Wait- d-did you save my life?" She asked Tape, stammering. PDA glared at her "What?!"

"What?" Tape was caught off guard.. then remembered "Your body? Hey wait.. yeah! What the hell are you doing?! You're from Fours side, why are YOU trying to save THEM?!"

"I-I-" Match didn't get to reply, being hit across the head from behind accidently in the commotion. PDA gasped, being knocked over by her. Rf growled and kept trying to open her lock, struggling a lot to get it open. She wasn't sure if she was doing it right, trying a different angle in desperation to escape, doing it rather aggressively.

Sc was nervous watching this all play out, looking over to Winner timidly "Wh-What are we going to do?" He stammered, unsure on how to handle the situation..

"Well.. we need to fend them off!" They exclaimed, swinging the crowbar at Leek as they tried to tackle them "I-I don't know how.. just make sure none of them escape!-" they ran up to Leek, leaving Sc.

Sc looked back at the cages, noticing that Onigiri was trying to free Nickel. Sc reluctantly headed right for her to attack her and make her stop, smashing into her with a force harder than he had expected, grunting.

"..ONIGIRI!" PDA cried at the sight, watching as she was shoved to the ground. He tried to run up to her, but was stepped on and held in place by Tape "NO!" He yelled, wanting to get to her as he was held to the ground, trying to squirm away.

Leek heard PDA yelling, but wasn't sure what the commotion was about, unable to see over the crowd of action. They tried to look over, but was taken by surprise as Winner swung at them. They tried stumbled to the side and attempted to taze them in response, but was unsuccessful.

"O-Onigiri-" Match whispered, running up to her fearfully. She tried to check if she was okay with trembling hands

But.. she was dead.

Match shook her head "Nnh..-" she felt tears form in her eyes, unable to keep fighting over the sudden loss. She didn't think that this would happen... she was starting to regret all of this..

Sc felt bad, but knew it was what he had to do. Nickel watched in horror as all of this played out and he could do nothing but watch, Anchor stressing tremendously and Tree looking away out of guilt, all three unable to do anything. Rf couldn't pick the lock, yelling and slamming it in anger, it hitting the cage bars roughly

PDA scrambled up from Tape by kicking him away, running up to Onigiri desperately .."Onigiri..?" He trembled weakly, her giving no reply. Match shook her head softly "She's..dead.. " she looked behind herself towards him with a soft gaze, her voice filled with pain.

PDA stared..gripping the crowbar tightly "N..NO!" He blurted, glaring deathly at Shopping Cart, the culprit. Shopping Cart was threatened by his stare, yelping as PDA ran up to him and began bashing him to death with the crowbar. PDA was in a blind rage, smacking Shopping Carts face in with the metal stick, denting and bending their body "HOW COULD YOU?! SHE WAS YOUR FRIEND!" He violently whacked over and over, yelling out in pure anger.

It was a mess.. it was more of a fight at this point than a rescue mission. Robot Flower finally got herself out, opening her cage door as the lock dropped to the ground "Y-Yes!" She exclaimed, running to Trees to try and begin unlocking it too. "T-Tree! Hurry-" she looked around wearily, watching as there was some deaths that had occured. She felt tense, turning around to avoid looking and being careful as she fiddled with his lock.

Needle watched the mess.. she couldn't believe this was happening. She knew it would be awful but..not this awful. She went to go help Rf, but jumped as someones voice boomed throughout the room, causing everyone to stop what they were doing.

"What in the WORLD is happening here?!" Rs thundered, everyone staring at him. Rubber Spatula took a moment to look around the room, and gather what was happening, observing each situation that was given before him.

Needle was back ... Rf had escaped.. and Sc was dead.. those were the main things he picked up on. He gripped his hands together "May someone explain to me what the fuck is happening here?" They smiled, twitching.

"Rubber Spatula-!" Winner cried, trying to run up to him "They're trying to help them escape!- W-We tried to stop them-"

"Winner.. lock the doors." Rs demanded lowly, cutting them off swiftly. Rf stared fearfully, passing Tree the paper clip secretly by slipping her hand behind herself and through the bars. He grabbed onto it and began to try and unlock himself, hidden by Rf.

"..You let them fucking KILL ONIGIRI?!" PDA roared, motivated by anger "You claim to be this ...good guy, Rubber Spatula, but then you just.. KILL YOUR FRIENDS!" He fumed, agonized.

"You have done the exact same, from what I can see." Rs growled through gritted teeth "You killed Shopping Cart.. did you not?"

Leek pushed PDA away so that they could talk instead, looking back at Onigiri. They tried not to feel upset over it.. her death had been inevitable- she was weak, after all. hurt to accept.. but they needed to.. they took a deep breath. "Rubber Spatula..you NEED to stop what you're doing. You are killing these people-"

"You expect me to just let Two get away with their crimes?" Rubber Spatula seethed, laughing at how pathetic they found that "Just let these ..objects go around and injure the innocent? They have to be stopped, one way or another!" Rubber Spatula yelled, proud in his claims.

Winner locked up the doors, Anchor staring fearfully. He was nervous, attempting to speak up "W-We've been trying to tell you..we don't WANT to do this!" He stuttered.

"How am I supposed to believe that?" He scoffed in disbelief. Pf rolled his eyes, glaring at Anchor "You may not want to, even so. But you still go along with whatever Two tells you! That's practically being apart of it." He smugly grinned "You did this to yourselves.. from the very start. What did you expect, really.."

Tree finally got out, pushing his door open forcefully "I don't!-" he winced as he accidentally whacked Rf in the back with the door of his cage, her hissing in pain "Sorry-" he whispered, looking back at Rs "I don't want to do this, can't you see? You think I want to let my friends suffer?..: He thought about Bottle.. and Blackhole and Remote..the fact she was dead here.. and the fact he didn't even know what happened to the majority of them.."Of course not! A-All my friends are..probably dead. I don't know where they are.  " he held his arms, pained "If ..I could find them, help them.. see them again, I would.." he picked up agression again "Do you really think I want them to get hurt?!" He raged.

"I wouldn't put it past you." Rs stubbornly replied, crossing his arms and dismissing him. He turned to Leek "You think you can all just ..walk on in here and.. free them? Ha, Leek, I don't know what you're thinking, but YOU'RE in the wrong here. You really want them to go back home, and continue hurting others?"

"Of course not!" Leek spat, stamping their foot and making Rs raise an eyebrow. Tape scoffed, Rs putting his hand in front of him to make him shush "Well then Leek, why in the world are you trying to save them?"

"Because they aren't behind this." Leek snarled "You know exactly who is. It's..not their fault they got wrapped into this. " they glared at Rs angrily "In a way, you're being just as bad as Two.. not only did you just let two of your friends die, but you're..hurting these innocent objects, who aren't to blame for what's happening!"

Rs contemplated Leeks point."..Despite this, they are still apart of it,."

"They wish not to be!"

Rubber Spatula sighed loudly, becoming annoyed and tired at this constant fighting "What are you saying then, Leek? What do you expect is going to happen when you free them?" He adjusted his eye patch, interested to know why they were so persistent about this.

"What did YOU think would happen when you killed them?"

"Fours side are safer, obviously. "

"No, Rubber Spatula.." Leek looked around at everyone..all their suffering was nothing but equal. "L-look. I want...to change things. I don't want this to continue..and I don't want to try and "stop" it by killing Twos side, either. " Rs raised an eyebrow, confused.

"What are you saying?"

"Well, look! Just look at how many of us don't want this.. nobody wants this! Well, mostly.. the point is, we need to work together to take down the ones that are ACTUALLY causing this. We need to stop TWO .. bind together.. not fight each other.."

Rs squinted. They glanced around, observing Tree and Robot Flower as they attempted to free Nickel and Anchor..he watched as PDA and Match kneeled down by Onigiri, and how Winner was tending to Sc, who had passed... he looked away at the sight of his dead friend " ..But..how do you know who to trust?" He looked back at Leek. "I don't trust them .. so why do you?"

Leek frowned, looking down "You just.. have to." They murmured "At the end of the day.. you won't get anywhere if we continue like this.. just killing each other."

Rs was reluctant, not knowing whether to trust their words. Leek held their arms "You..should know that already. You have REALLY useful powers. If we.. worked together and found some way to punish the RIGHT people, and not.. the victims, maybe we could actually.. get somewhere. "

Rs was contemplating the idea.. it made sense.. but he still hated Two and everyone associated with him. They sighed, defeated "Well..I.." he looked around one last time "If this is what you want, Leek, then I'll..agree for now. I'm only doing this for you, and if there is even the slightest thing that makes me doubt my decision? I won't hesitate to take action on it."

Tape glared "What?! Are you kidding me?! But this whole time-" Pf cut him off "So.. what do we do? Work out who we are really supposed to be targeting?"  He smirked at the thought of getting back at Yellowface...

Leek nodded, approving of this idea. They turned over to everyone else... what just happened had been a huge mess.. and .. Onigiris loss wasn't..ideal. But they knew this is what she would have wanted though..peace.

"Everyone.." Leek drew in all their attention.

"..We ..have some discussing to do."
