"Hey, wake up."

Tyler groaned as he was nudged awake. He opened his eyes slowly and huffed softly before looking up to see it was the same bandito from earlier dressed in heavier clothing and they gave Tyler some heavier clothing items that had quite a bit of yellow on it. "Here. You'll freeze out there."

Tyler shivers as a breeze blew past him and he quickly got up and thanked then before grabbing the heavy camo styled jacket before putting it on and zipping it up and he was given a few more items.

"What is all this for?" Tyler asked before the bandito pointed outside to show it stopped raining.

"Oh...right. Thank you." Tyler exhales softly, smiling a bit. After he got dressed properly he sighed and started to think over his plans.

Well first the banditos has constructed tunnels for easy entry back into dema for rescue missions and such if someone gets trapped, it's an extremely long walk to their created passage but I could manage the walk, after all I have plenty of warm clothes on, I just need a bit of food but how in the world will I find Josh? What was that dammed schedule for that prison of a place?

Hell I don't even know the current time.

Tyler looks up at the sky. It was still very early in the day, that is a good sign.

Okay but then how am I gonna find Josh's room? They could of moved him after what happened all those years ago but...maybe not.

Fuck it. I'm gonna risk it. It's too late to second guess myself.

Tyler was about to say he was gonna need some supplies for himself and Josh only to get a small bag tossed at him and Tyler managed to catch it.

"Thought you said you're gonna stop over thinking and over analyzing." The bandito snickered slightly which made Tyler roll his eyes.

"Old habits are hard to break...if I don't come back in two days, alert the others something may of happened." Tyler says before thanking them one last time before taking a deep breath and heading off.

Tyler sighed as he ends up getting lost in his head, thinking about how he will get Josh out of there but something kept nagging at the back of his mind.

ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴏɴ'ᴛ ʙᴇ ᴀʙʟᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴅᴏ ᴛʜɪs.

That voice sounded so familiar but Tyler just shook his head and kept walking, going over a few plans and a few alternative ones. He was hoping he would be able to get Josh out of there as quick as possible but knowing that damn place it would be hard to.

I wonder what he'll look like now, I think the same...god how I can't wait to see his smile again!

I hope he hasn't forgotten about me...no he couldn't have!

Oh god, what if his blurryface has gotten worse? He was very positive despite everything, maybe he stayed that way?

ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɪs ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏsᴛ ʀᴇᴀʟɪsᴛɪᴄ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛ ᴏғ sᴏ ғᴀʀ. ᴇxᴄᴇᴘᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴏsɪᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴘᴀʀᴛ ɪs ʙᴜʟʟsʜɪᴛ. ᴊᴜsᴛ ғᴀᴄᴇ ɪᴛ. ʜᴇ ᴡᴏɴ'ᴛ ʙᴇ ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴍᴇ ᴊᴏsʜ.

Tyler immediately turned and looked around before exhaling and shaking his head, deciding it would be best not to think too much during this trip, especially since it was gonna be a long walk.

Tyler eventually started humming a random tune to himself to occupy his mind at the moment.

⊱⋅ ────────☁────────⋅⊰

After what felt like walking for hours on end Tyler had made to to the entrance of the tunnel system. He looked at the sky.

It was still before noon it seemed.

It seemed that it was close to noon but not quite so by that people must of been out in the courtyard which would be difficult to sneak around in. Tyler had no other choice but to blend in. He took off his warm and clothing and yellow items to only end up in a grey shirt and grey-ish looking jeans.

He was hoping the jeans wouldn't give him away but it was hard to know of this would work or not in the first place but on the bright side the less things his had the quicker in and out he could go.

So he set his clothes and the bag at the entrance of the tunnel and sighs heavily, shivering slightly because of the cold already but he decided he could bare it. He dug a lighter out if his bag and ignites it before walking through the tunnel.

All he could do now is hope and pray a vulture didn't see him as he arrives up to the surface because if that was the case the mission would be over before it officially started.

Vultures.

He hated those damn birds.

Except for Clifford, he was the only exception.

Tyler looked around the now dimly lit tunnel as he swallows hard. This felt too familiar. It felt strange to be voluntarily going back to the place he had hated so deeply but it also felt strangely nostalgic in a way but it didn't quite have that exact...homey feeling one would expect.

After a bit of walking Tyler put out the lighter and shoved it in his pocket before finally exiting the tunnel and appearing on the surface.

Here he was.

Back in the prison he had left behind so long ago. He looked around before making his next move.

No one in sight. No vultures in sight. Best if all no bishops in sight.

Tyler hid behind a building immediately before slowly making his way to the courtyard.

Only one vulture on guard, that's good. Maybe this will work out.

Tyler exhaled as he hid behind a structure before anyone could see him.

He knew Josh most likely wasn't in the crowd because he wasn't new at all and he didn't think and was...hoping...Josh wasn't among the people with a prominent Blurryface.

All the clothes were the exact same solid grey color. After slight hesitation Tyler slipped into the crowd and since luckily, they could socialize he went around, quietly asking if anyone knew where Josh was here and there.

People either commented that they didn't know a Josh Dun or that they didn't know where Josh was but Tyler was just mostly relived that people didn't question him because they must of just thought he was very new.

Tyler was clueless and feeling hopeless for a moment before someone with black paint from their hands up to ther elbows and from the collarbone to halfway up his neck. Tyler couldn't help but feel bad, this person was hurting and struggling and their Blurryface was winning this battle it hurt to see because Tyler was there once.

"I heard you're looking for Josh Dun, right...?" They spoke simply but quietly. Tyler nods slightly, not wanting to seem too eager because he didn't want to give anything away.

"Oh well...he's in the chapel doing some work for the bishops they had requested of him...it's the only possible reason why he's in there."

Tyler nods quickly unintentionally. "Thank you for the help." He says before slipping out of the crowd without another word.

He hid behind another structure to gather his thoughts.

Josh at the chapel? What in hell would he be doing there? What work must of been requested of him? What in the world..?!

ɢɪᴠᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴀʟʀᴇᴀᴅʏ.

Tyler whinced at those words but ignored them. It would be hard to get in the chapel but he could manage, as long as he isn't caught or seen by the vulture on the look out currently he'll be fine.

The chapel was only used once a month anyways but even then it wasn't for anyone, it was only for the bishops devoted followers and it was held at night. Tyler only knew that because of the stories that formed around the chaple.

He knew of the followers and the bishops religion and it was a horrible, horrible one to say the least. Tyler sighed softly. He wished he could help and save these people but he couldn't, at least not now.

Tyler started making his way towards the church in a way so he wouldn't be seen because if he was caught there was no telling exactly what would happen to him, and god forbid the bishops recognize him if he is captured.

Tyler hand eventually made it too the doors of the chapel and as he would expect the doors were heavy but he managed to get in before the vulture spotted him.

Tyler silently shut the door behind him then turned around only to not feel too well. He didn't know why he was filled with so much anxiety and dread, the church was bland and grey like the rest of the place but it was very dim at the moment so it was hard to see correctly.

Tyler took his lighter out and ignited it which made a much louder sound the he expected in the seemingly empty church.

Tyler used to lighter to see his surroundings better and he felt his heart beat faster. It was easy to feel uneasy in the place, as if one was being watched by what seemingly is a shadow.

Every step felt like he could fall into a pit at any moment. It felt like all eyes were on him despite no one being in the pews of this chaple. It was all just so unsettling and scary, as if something could jump out at any moment. Tyler could feel his heart pounding against his chest as he walked closer to the last few pews.

Tyler immediately stopped walking once he saw someone silently sitting in the last pew. Their hair was a curly mess from behind so Tyler felt like his heart was going to leap out his chest due to either joy or fear.

Tyler knew he should be happy but that's when more dread set in instead.

This felt...off.

Maybe it was the atmosphere of the church or maybe it was the anxiety of talking to someone after so long but Tyler had to push those feelings away.

"J-Josh...is that you? I-It's me...Tyler!" He had spoke, his voice echoing in the chapel only to hear nothing in response but before Tyler could speak again the person who he assumed was Josh just silently got up before seeming hesitantly turning towards Tyler.

Tyler felt like his heart stopped.

His lighter slipped out his his hand and it made a loud sound as it hit the floor and the flame went out.

Tyler was praying his eyes were deceiving him.
