Chapter 3

We speedrunning this!

L4FF sat on top of the hill, looking at the sunset. He was getting used to being a cyborg that could have the five senses like a human. The cold air that went down his throat when he took a breath. The wind blowing against his back. The soft grass beneath him. He closed his eyes and sighed. This was going to be weird at first, but he knew he would get used to it. But he wasn't alone. He opened his eyes, and turned around. "Mate, I thought Laff said you died." Tommy said, sword in hand. L4FF felt fear fill him when he saw Tommy, but took a deep breath, and stood up. "Tommy, Laff knows I'm alive. He knows about this, trust me." L4FF said slowly. Tommy still held the sword in his hand, but a look of worry was on his face. "What happened?" Tommy asked. L4FF got quiet. "Tommy, if I'm going to be honest with you, I'm still trying to remember a lot of stuff. Being dead for a while messes your memory up a lot." Tommy got quiet, then put the sword away. "I know what it's like to be dead." Tommy said quietly. L4FF was stunned. "How?" Tommy took a shaky breath. "It happened on this server, before we moved. Dream was in prison, I was stuck with him due to an event that made Sam keep me in there. We were fighting. We added a...I don't know what it was exactly, but we had three main lives. If we lost one of them while in, like, an important fight, we lost it, and if we lost all three, we officially died. We would become ghosts. But Dream, he had a book. It brought me back to life. It was...really rough. When we moved, Dream came to his senses, and burned the book. Ever since, he's been fine, but now...he's struggling." Tommy said. Tommy moved a bit of his hair, and revealed a part of his hair that was white. "I got this after being revived," he said. Tommy sighed, hiding the white strand again. "It's hard. When you've died, and then come back to life...it's hard." "Yeah, especially when you have a pile of new stuff that has happened." L4FF said. Tommy nodded, then sat next to L4FF, who sat back down. "I've never experienced a sunset before. Not like this." L4FF said. "Trust me, the sunset and sunrise here are amazing. You'll love them." Tommy said. L4FF chuckled. "Can't wait." They watched the sun go down, and the stars came out. Suddenly, they heard a twig snap behind them. Tommy pulled out his sword, and L4FF switched his hand to his gravity gun. "What was that?" Tommy whispered. "Hold on." L4FF said quietly. He scanned the area, looking for signs of life. "Gotcha." L4FF said. He pulled the trigger, and someone yelped. L4FF pulled the unknown person out of the trees. "You." L4FF hissed. "Me." Seth said. "How the hell did you find us?!" Tommy yelled. "I have a crystal too!" Seth said. L4FF let go of the trigger, and Seth went flying back into a tree, then L4FF pulled the trigger, and Seth was lifted up again. "I should kill you right now." L4FF said, venom in his voice. "Um, don't need to go that far bud." Seth said nervously. "Why not? Every time we threaten to harm you, you get nervous as hell! Then when you get the chance, you betray us!" L4FF said. Seth got quiet. "Wait, the thing that gives us three lives is still working." Tommy said. L4FF smirked. "Kill him two times, is that fair enough? Then lock him up?" "Maybe we should get the others first." Tommy said. He didn't want L4FF to get dangerous. "Fair enough." L4FF said. He put Seth down, then quickly punched him, knocking him out. L4FF lifted him up again, and they went back to the building. "Meme, we need you." Tommy said. Meme opened the door, confused. "What?" Meme asked. "Found him sneaking around." L4FF said, showing Seth. Meme felt rage fill him. "Mate, your eyes went very red." Tommy said. Meme took a deep breath. "I'm fine, just...yeah, I'm fine," he said. Tommy didn't say anything else. Meme looked at Seth. "Toss him in the prison. Move Dream out of the high security one. I'm not taking any chances." Meme said. L4FF nodded, then took Seth away. "Mate, are you sure you're alright? You're paler than before, and your eyes are really dark red." Tommy asked. "I'm just wiped of energy." Meme said. Tommy felt like there was something he was missing, but shrugged it off. Meme was a vampire, he dealt with his own problems. "Okay." and Tommy walked away. Meme sighed, then went outside. The cool air filled his lungs, making him relax. "You ready?" Nadwe asked, appearing out of the shadows. "Yeah." Meme said, and changed to a bat. Nadwe also changed, and they flew into the woods. After about five minutes, they still didn't find anything. "Where are the animals?" Meme groaned. He was getting light-headed and dizzy. He changed back to human, and sat on the ground. "Meme, you good?" Nadwe asked, still flapping in the air. "I'm so dizzy." Meme said. "Stay here, I'll try and find something." Nadwe said. Before Meme could argue, he flew off. Meme sighed, tucking his knees into his chest. The night had gotten cold, and he had left his hoodie back in his room. He shivered, the cold biting his skin. He suddenly heard something in the woods, and felt his heart freeze. He transformed into a bat, and flew up into the trees. He carefully hid in the leaves, looking for what made the noise. He heard more rustling, then someone came out of the shadows. It was Dino. But something was wrong. His eyes were yellowish green. He was under Chaos's control. Meme held his breath, aware that he was in a dangerous situation. Dino looked around for a little bit, then looked right where Meme was. Meme heard his heart pounding in his ears. Dino stared right at Meme, then lunged. Meme flew out of the tree, barely missing Dino's hands. He flew as fast as he could away. Suddenly, a net covered him, and fell down, hitting the ground. He struggled to get out, when he saw Dino coming over to him. "NADWE!" he yelled. He struggled to get out even more, but it was too late. Dino picked him up, pulled him out of the net, and put a muzzle on him. "Mhm! Mhm!" Meme tried to speak, but the muzzle kept him from talking. He tried to pull himself from Dino's grip, but Dino held on tight. He placed a small band on Meme's neck, and he felt energy drain from him. A power restrictor. Suddenly, Nadwe appeared behind Dino, and kicked him from behind. Dino lost his grip, and Meme got out. He suddenly realized that the muzzle also wrapped around his wings in a way that made him unable to fly. Nadwe managed to knock Dino out, panting from exhaustion. "Meme!" He said, running over to him. He carefully picked Meme up. "Are you okay?" Nadwe asked. Meme nodded. "What the hell did he put on you?" Nadwe whispered. Meme was scared. What would happen now? "Listen, hide somewhere where you can see Dino if he wakes up. I'm going to get help." Nadwe said. Meme nodded, and they found a little ditch that hid Meme from Dino. "Please be careful." Nadwe said, before flying off. Meme tried to stretch his wings, but whatever the muzzle was made of, it was not stretchable. He sighed. "Oh God, what the hell happened?" He heard Dino mumble. He crouched down as low as he could. He and Nadwe dug a small hole that would allow him to see Dino. He looked and saw that Dino was awake, rubbing his head. His eyes were back to their dark green color. Meme still didn't trust Dino, and stayed hidden. Dino got up, and looked around. "Where did Chaos send me?" he said to himself. Meme stayed hidden, and saw Dino run off. He sighed. He could've let Dino know he was there, but he wasn't going to risk it. A few minutes later, he heard someone coming. He crouched down again, but then saw Nadwe, Socks, and surprisingly Laff. "Where's Dino?" Socks asked. Meme looked up, and Nadwe saw him. Nadwe sighed with relief, and picked Meme up carefully. "Dino put some weird muzzle on him." Nadwe said. Laff was using his crutches, and went over to Nadwe and Meme. He looked at the material, then shook his head. "Never seen anything like it." he said. Meme felt his heart drop. Would he be stuck in this forever? "Okay, can we cut it?" Nadwe asked. Meme felt his fur stick up, not liking the idea of a knife being that close to him, and him being very small. "Bad idea, with him being small, and the knife close to him." Laff said. Meme sighed with relief, but nervousness filled him when he was still trapped. "Guys, he has a power restrictor." Nadwe said. "That's not good." Socks said. Meme tried yet again to try and stretch the band, but it still didn't work. He didn't like being clamped up, and his wings were getting sore. "Did you see where Dino went?" Socks asked. Meme nodded, and turned to where Dino walked off. "Was he under control?" Nadwe asked. Meme shook his head. "That makes it easier." Laff said. "I'll go find him." Socks said, and ran off. Meme repressed a sigh, and then shivered. Even with fur, he was still cold. "Laff, what are we going to do?" Nadwe asked. "Listen, we'll get him out." Laff said. He suddenly winced in pain. "This ankle is going to be the death of me." Laff muttered. Meme gave him a look that said, 'You got out of bed to do this, the only one to blame is yourself.' "Hey, no need to give me the look." Laff said. Nadwe snickered. "Who's side are you on?" Laff asked Nadwe. "I'm just here to see what happens." Nadwe said. Laff punched Nadwe playfully. Meme wings were now starting to hurt from the straps. He tried to shift them around, but it just made it worse. "Meme, you good?" Laff asked. Meme shook his head. He tried shifting again, but it still made it worse. "The straps are making it worse!" Nadwe said. Meme nodded. "They're too tight I think." Laff said. Meme tried shifting again, but made a mistake. He felt his wing burst in pain, and realized he must've done something bad. "Meme, I think you just broke your wing." Nadwe said, horror filling him. Tears had welled up in his eyes, but he blinked them away. "Don't move anymore Meme." Laff said. Meme nodded, taking deep breaths. Socks suddenly came back, Dino right behind him. "Found him." Socks said. "Dino, you good?" Nadwe asked. "Yeah, I'm fine." Dino said. "Do you know what material this is?" Laff asked. Dino looked at Meme, and felt guilt fill him. "No, not really, but you need a special kind of knife to cut it." Dino said. "Do you have it? Cause I'm pretty sure the straps are too tight, and Meme just broke his wing." Nadwe said. "Yeah." Dino said. He pulled a blue knife from his pocket, and gave it to Nadwe. "Hold still." Nadwe said. He cut through the straps, and it was like butter. Soon, Meme was free. Nadwe pulled the muzzle off. Meme changed back to human, and lay on the ground. "I'm going to fall asleep for a while." he whispered. "You still have the power restrictor." Dino said. Meme sighed, then winced. "Is it broken?" Nadwe asked. "No, thank God. Just dislocated my shoulder." Meme said. Socks was next to him, and before Meme could react, Socks popped it back into place. "Oh shit!" Meme yelled. "Trust me, better now than later." Socks said. "Bit of warning next time?" Meme asked. Socks shrugged. Meme sighed. "What were you guys even doing out here?" Dino asked. "Me and Nadwe were trying to find animals, but we didn't find a single one." Meme said. "None." Nadwe said. "Weird. I'll ask Dream where we can find some." Socks said. Meme felt sleepy, and just wanted to go to bed. He carefully got up, leaning against a tree, and his head began to spin. "I'm ready to go home." Meme said, and then everything went black.

...

Meme eyes fluttered open, and found himself in his room. He groaned, his shoulder still very sore. He sat up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. The sun was already up, so he thought that he must've been asleep for a while. He got out of bed and opened the blinds. The sunlight felt nice on his face, and he sighed. He felt his neck and the power restrictor was still on. He was just going to relax today. He quickly got changed and went outside. He saw Laff and L4FF talking to each other outside. L4FF turned and saw Meme. Meme ran over to them, and Laff smiled. "Finally, you woke up." Laff said. "Shut up." Meme laughed. "Laff told me everything. That's a rough night." L4FF said. "Yeah, I'm going to relax today." Meme sighed. "Sounds good enough. Me and L4FF were just walking around the SMP." Laff said. "How's your ankle?" Meme asked. "Still annoying." Laff said, annoyed. "Yeah, we'll do an X-ray maybe tomorrow." Meme said. They ended up walking around the SMP, just looking at everything and talking. Meme winced as his arm sent a shiver of pain down his arm. "Better having a dislocated shoulder than having your arm in a cast." L4FF said. "Yeah, no kidding." Meme said. He looked at the prison, and remembered about Seth. Rage filled him, and he realized he was starting to burn. "Uh, Meme?" Laff asked nervously. "Need to calm down, need to calm down." Meme whispered, taking deep breaths. The rage faded away and Meme sighed with relief. His arms were slightly burned, also on his face. "Come on, let's go inside." Laff said. Meme nodded, and the three of them went inside. Sam was inside, being bored. "Hey Sam." Meme said. "Hey guys. What's up?" Sam asked. "Just almost burned." Meme sighed. "Sheesh. That's rough." Sam said. "We're just taking a break." Laff said. "That Seth dude...he's going to get a screw loose soon." Sam said. Rage filled Meme, and his eyes changed color. "Meme, relax." L4FF said. He had seen Meme's fists clench up, and knew that Meme was getting irritated. But the rage was flowing through his veins, hatred blinding him. He suddenly ran past Sam, heading to Seth. "Meme, wait!" Sam said, running after him. L4FF and Laff looked at each other. "Want me to run ahead?" L4FF asked. "Yeah, good idea. I'll stay here in case he comes back." Laff said. L4FF ran after Sam and Meme, and Laff carefully sat down, wincing. Meme was running, trying to find where Seth was. Suddenly, he was pinned down by Sam. "Meme, chill!" Sam said. Meme panted, rage flooding his head. "Relax. Don't go to Seth, it will be bad." Sam said. Meme wanted to get out and find Seth, but a tiny part of him told himself to calm down. Meme soon took a deep breath, trying to relax. "Breathe." Sam said. Meme felt himself slow down, and his rage disappeared, and he felt very tired. "Are you good?" Sam asked. "Yeah. Thanks." Meme said. Sam got off of Meme, and helped him up. "Sorry. I wasn't able to calm down fast enough." Meme said. "Hey, not your fault. I'm just glad that Seth is still locked up." Sam said. They went back to the main room and saw Laff. "Sorry I ran." Meme said. "You're good mate. Wait, where's L4FF?" Laff asked. "He wasn't with us," Meme said. "He went off to help you guys." Laff said, worry started to fill him. "Relax, he probably took a wrong turn." Sam said. He did, in fact, take a wrong turn. He was walking through the halls, certain that he was lost. "L4FF?" He turned and saw Dream, who was in a small cell. "Jezz you scared me." L4FF sighed. "Sorry. But, what's going on?" Dream asked. "Meme kinda got irritated, and he started to burn, so we went in here, but I think it got worse, cause he's now trying to find Seth, and probably suck his blood." L4FF said. Dream rubbed his neck. "Yeah, that's rough." L4FF sighed. "I've never felt so tired in my life." "Well, this is the first time you've ever been in control without Laff, or just hanging out in his head. And you're in a place where you are a cyborg, but you can feel and act like a human. That's pretty unique." Dream said. "Yeah, I guess." L4FF said. "What do you mean, 'you guess'?" Dream asked. L4FF sighed. "I guess I'm just not used to it, and it's all so strange. I just don't know whether I should be alive like this. And how did I even come back? Laff said he fell in a strange black liquid, and next thing you know, I'm alive." Dream got quiet. L4FF was right, about how Laff fell into the black liquid and he came back. "Listen, nothing bad has happened yet, so maybe you got lucky." Dream said. "Maybe." L4FF said. Dream could tell that L4FF was tired. Suddenly, an evil feeling filled. "No, no, no." Dream said. "What? What's wrong?" L4FF asked. Dream was trying to stop the evil feeling, but it just got stronger. He felt the world suddenly start to spin. This never happened before. "Please just stop!" Dream yelled. L4FF started to panic. He pulled out a pickaxe, and started to hit the door. Dream's knees buckled, and he felt sick. He felt the same feeling he felt long ago. That he was God. "I'm not!" he yelled. L4FF finally managed to break the door, and looked around. He saw a chest, and when he opened it up, it was filled with potions. Instead of thinking, he just threw it near Dream, hoping it would work. Dream suddenly slowed down, and hit the floor, asleep. After checking that Dream was okay, he picked Dream up, and left to find out where the main room was. "It is a maze in here." L4FF muttered. He walked around a bit more, then came to a room where a wall of lava was. He held his breath, knowing Seth was behind it. He quickly went back, looking for the main room. He felt sleepiness suddenly settle in him. He looked at his hands, and found small patches of the potion on it. "Great." he groaned. He walked more, trying to find where the main room was, but he felt his legs getting slower. He finally sat down, putting Dream carefully on the ground. He felt calm, but inside he desperately tried to stay awake. "L4FF!" he heard someone yell. It was Laff. "Over here!" He felt energy leave him, but a tiny part still fought to stay awake. "Guys, I found him! He's with Dream!" Laff said. Laff went to L4FF's side, waiting for Sam and Meme to come. "L4FF, what happened?" Laff asked. "Found Dream...he started to panic over something...went inside, opened a chest...bunch of potions inside...threw one, and he fell asleep...I think...I got some on me." L4FF said slowly. Laff sighed with relief. "I'm surprised you're still awake." Laff said. Meme and Sam came running in. "How did he get Dream out, there's mining fatigue in the prison." Sam said. "Don't know, but he's got some of the potion of him, he's going out like a light soon." Laff said. Meme helped L4FF up, and Sam picked Dream up. They went back to the main room, and Meme helped L4FF sit down. L4FF never felt so tired, but some of him still fought to stay awake. "Dude, just rest." Meme said. L4FF wanted to argue, but taking a nap didn't sound like a bad idea. He closed his eyes, and went to sleep. "Finally." Meme sighed. Dream groaned, waking up. "What the hell happened?" he asked. "Another attack." Sam said. Dream sighed. "Why am I in the main room?" he asked. "L4FF brought you here, he didn't know what was happening." Laff said. Dream nodded. "He got a bit of the potion on him, so he's out like a light." Meme said. "My head is on fire." Dream said. "Just rest." Sam said. Dream sat down, put his head on his knees, and fell asleep. "I think I'm ready to take a nap." Meme said. "I've got to check in on our other friend. I'll see you guys later." Sam said, and walked off. "What should we do now?" Laff asked. "Wait for them to wake up I guess." Meme said. Laff nodded, then winced. "Stupid ankle." Laff said. "I need to find something stronger." Meme said. "Meme, what will happen if my ankle never heals? What's the worst case scenario?" Laff asked. He needed to know to be prepared. Meme wasn't sure whether to answer or not. "Meme, I need to know." Laff asked. "Worst case scenario, I'll have to amputate it. There. I said it." Meme said. That is what Laff thought. He closed his eyes, and sighed. "That's what I figured." Laff said. "That's only the worst case scenario though, it's not right now. We have different plans, so we'll be fine. The chance of me doing so is very unlikely." Meme said. Laff nodded, carefully sitting down. Meme sat next to him. "Why did you want to know?" Meme asked softly. Laff was quiet for a moment. "I wanted to be better prepared for it." he said. Meme nodded. Laff closed his eyes again, and fell asleep. Meme sighed, and also decided to take a nap.

Damn, that was alot. ANYWAY, Seth comes, and is put in the prison. Meme and Nadwe go to try and find blood, but are unsuccessful. Dino, under the control of Chaos, tries to kidnap Meme, but Nadwe comes in the nick of time. They get the muzzle off, but not the power restrictor. The next day, the go into the prison, where Meme loses control, but Sam stops him. Dream and L4FF talk before Dream starts to have another attack. L4FF manages to get help, then they all take a nap. SEE YA!
