Chapter 10: Corruption Overtakes

Notes:

You come in cold, you’re covered in blood
They’re all so happy you arrived
The doctor cuts your cord, hands you to your mom
She sets you free into this LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Chapter Text

Elliot and Delibird ran into the area to see what the commotion was, They were shocked to find multiple gaping holes that go across a straight path,
They looked to find the cause of the destruction, the little baby Pokémon and the legless 007n7, the matting around Him stained with blood.

“Oh geez! You look terrible!” Elliot said as He and Delibird ran over to Him, grabbing Their pizza, “Geez, thank you for the compliment,” 007n7 chuckled, trying to lighten the mood of the situation, before spawning a clone using His GUI, ”So uh, I guess we all underestimated what that baby could do” Elliot said as He threw His pizza to 007n7, who ate it in quick swift bites.

He puts Togepi aside before grabbing His clone and tried to rip its legs off, surely enough the code that connected the legs to the body slowly broken apart, 007n7 went to put the legs on His body to see if it’ll connect, and thankfully they do, 007n7 stand back up and walked around like He didn’t just lose His legs.
“Uhh, that was weird?” Elliot pointed out, with delibird a bit creeped out.

“Don’t worry, I have pretty good pain tolerance, and these clones can be used for way more stuff than simply tricking the killers” 007n7 added as He picked up Togepi, Elliot sharply turned around to see someone highlighted as they were being attacked, His instincts kicking as He and His partner ran to that panicked survivor, “no time to talk!”

007n7 looked on as Elliot disappeared, entering into one of the entryways, then looked at the destruction that the hyper beam caused, and the dust that was once Mimikyu, the Togepi was now blissfully sleeping, slowly restoring Its energy, “what the hell have I gotten myself into.” He said to Himself as He runs off to look for the next generator.

Two Time held They left arm that was covered in scars from John Doe’s sharp claws, that was drenched in Their blood, “YOU DARE ATTACK THE LOYAL MEMBERS OF THE GREAT SPAWN! THEY WILL CURSE YOUR NAME AND TAKE YOUR SINFUL SOUL TO THE BANLANDS” Two Times screamed, They grabbed Their dagger and kept a safety distance, ignoring the pain in Their arm as it was drowning the plants underneath it with it’s blood.

John Doe looked over, stepping closer and closer each second, He had taken a few rough hits from the Pokémon, but it was gonna take way more than that to stop Him, two time’s Marowak sneaked up right behind John Doe and prepared to throw Its bone to distract the killer, unfortunately, John Doe quickly realised what was happening and grabbed the projectile, before snapping it in half like a twig, Marowak quickly backed up as It was now defenceless, but Two Time took this as an opportunity to stab the monster right in His back.

“I WILL WITHDRAW YOUR BLOOD! AND SACRIFICE IT FOR MY LORD AND SAVIOUR!” John Doe’s mind was filled with aggression as He swiped His claw at two time, who swiftly dodged it but the claw colliding with Their dagger caused Two Time to lose grip of Their weapon, seeing this much vulnerability, John took this chance to take out the cultus, pushing Two Time down to the ground with His leg and lift lifting up His spike to deliver the final blow.

Just as He thought He pierced His spike through Them, He found out that two time was protected by a shield just in time, Dusekkar then lifted up His staff and shot a beam of plasma right at John Doe face, He backed away and covered His face in pain, as He quickly recovered His vision, He looked at Elliot and delibird healing Two Time with Their pizzas, all that time wasted for nothing.

Elliot realised John Doe witnessed all of that, He backed off, trying to figure out which way to run into, Dusekkar looked upon his Mismagius, “Mismagius! You better think of something quick! Or else the site of the slaughter will be make our heads sick!” Even though He commanded the Pokémon to help Elliot, Mismagius went behind Dusekkar, only wanting to protect Its trainer. “Mismagius! Now is not the time! Does disobeying me make you think it’s a crime?!”.

Mismagius Seemed more scared, It obviously could help Elliot, but It seems to only attack when Dusekkar is in danger, Dusekkar then saw that Elliot was trapped in a corner, and John Doe’s path of spikes blocking His only way out, He held delibird as He watched the monster towering over him, mocking him before deciding to taking him out, Dusekkar was irritated with his Pokémon’s disobedience as His abilities are on cooldown, and two time’s dagger isn’t anywhere to be seen, Dusekkar’s patience eventually snapped, “MISMAGIUS I SAID HELP HIM NOW!”.

Mismagius jumped in surprise as It realises Dusekkar was mad at It, It finally decides to obey as It goes in front of Dusekkar and charged up a shadow ball before launching it at John Doe, who looked over at the big dark blob, but He had no time to react as it collided into Him and send him to smash it against a brick wall, Elliot and delibird took this moment to get the hell out of there.

Dusekkar finally lets out a sigh of relief, before commanding Two Time to go, Mismagius although looked a bit guilty upon using It moves that doesn’t protect Its own trainer, and goes with Him, floating besides Dusekkar, John Doe quickly got up as He removed bits and pieces of sludge off His body, He wasn’t just gonna give up after this, He doesn’t care that Mimikyu is gone, He was going to kill every single survivor, if it meant completing His goal.

Noob had just completed the last generator alongside Chespin, somehow They didn’t manage to break a sweat, as it seems like the other survivors were distracting John Doe, which actually improved Their progress, but that moment of relaxation quickly died down as Two Time, Elliott and Dusekkar ran out of a entryway, They all seemed a bit panicked after Elliot almost got killed off.

“G-guys! I did the last generator! I think we should be g-good to go!” Noob said with a hint of excitement in Their voice, Chespin also puffed up Its chest with pride, looking at Noob with approval, “Yes! But even with His partner’s disturbing death, John Doe will not stop until He is at his last breath!”

The team thought for a plan that would help distract the killer, up until Elliot disturbs Them, “hey guys!” He looked over at Taph and Ariados making a huge set of traps contained of tripwires, subspace tripmines, and cobwebs in the little ball pit area, They both seem quite fond to each other, their bond already powerful.
Elliot looked upon the team, letting out a little smirk “I think I have an idea!”

Just as He explained part of it, John Doe finally caught up with Them, letting out an ear piercing heart pounding roar, before giving Chase, “IT’S SOMETHING THAT I DON’T LIKE, BUT IT’S BETTER THAN BEING PIERCED BY A SPIKE!” Everyone immediately rushed to the ball pit area, John Doe kept the chase going on, the timer was now running low, He didn’t even bother to put up a path of spikes, He raised up His spike at Elliot since He was the closest, but it only scraped Elliot clothes as He tried to stab His spike onto him.

His face was then met with multiple subspace explosions, temporarily blinding him and constantly stepping over tripwires, and with a cherry on top, He fallen directly into a cobweb, which was surprisingly effective, “😂🫵” Taph seemed to have a time of Their life as They looked at the mess John Doe has gotten themselves into, before running away along with the group, “oh the Lord may bless you with your quick thinking!” Two Time said to Taph, but Their celebration collapsed as a path of spikes were headed towards Them, most of them thankfully got out of the way, but the only one who was trapped was Noob and Chespin.

“HELP! HELP!” Noob had nowhere to go, it was either standing here or going towards the monster, which neither of them are good, John Doe wasted no time to be intimidating, He was going straight for it as time was seriously running out, Noob couldn’t have enough time to drink the slateskin potion, it seems like John was going to get another kill.

But Chespin wasn’t going to surrender this easily, It hopped into the ground and used Its vines to wrap around John Doe’s limbs, and since It couldn’t trap Him because of His strength, all It could do was push him away, but the more Chespin pushed Him away, the more John Doe resisted it, It was already using most of Its strength just to push Him away and keep His feet on the matting.

“CHESPIN YOU CAN DO IT, BUDDY! JUST HANG ON!”
Elliot cheered, hoping it would help the Pokémon just a little bit more, although John Doe obviously had the upper hand as Chespin has gotten more worn out,

But then John Doe felt as a bullet has struck His spine, quickly stunning Him as well as Chespin’s vines smacking Him to the ground, “Ha! You really thought you had it didn’t you?” John Doe knows that voice, it was that stupid gambler, the one who cost Him the round, Noob looked over to see Chance, the one who saved him a couple rounds before, before all these Pokémon appeared,
That was hope in Their eyes, John Doe was enraged, He didn’t even go after Noob, He went straight for chance, simply because of a grudge, although Chance was just standing there with a smirk, because as John Doe went to kill Him off, the timer came to a end, the survivors had won.

_________________________________________________

The survivors celebrated after a close call, most of them praising Chance for saving Noob, the mood in the cabin changed for the better, Dusekkar watched on, if the other people were happy, then He was also happy, but then He saw Mismagius leaving the cabin, It’s expression was rather saddened, Dusekkar knew that something was wrong, and followed His Pokémon outside, He noticed Mismagius looking down on the ground, the aura around it was rather gloomy, It feels like It did something wrong, Dusekkar went to sit besides It, before finally breaking the silence.

“I’m terribly sorry for yelling at you, I can see that you’re feeling blue” Mismagius looked at Him, the expression It made, It almost feels like it was… questioning Him, It wondered if It was in It own world, It wondered if the other people around It were actually friends, It wondered if Dusekkar was even It’s own trainer, as Dusekkar was trying to understand why His partner felt this way, He realised something, “the Spectre didn’t just manipulated you, it completely changed your entire point of view!”

“I believe it also erased their memories…” Dusekkar looked behind Him to see Guest standing next to Them, His Lucario nowhere near Him, Guest then goes to sits down next to Them, “Mismagius still sees you as It’s original partner, It also erase the memory of when they first met, but they still kept their personalities, and I feel like they’re slowly remembering It’s partners personalities as well, I think that’s why Marowak was being a little weirded out by Two Time, because in their eyes, they never acted that way”.

Dusekkar looked at the ground as well, His pumpkin head full of questions, but He doesn’t know which one to pick, “the killers partners, I believe they view us as monsters, horrible people that don’t deserve to be in this world, besides that dog which I think just views us as chew toys,” Guest added, Dusekkar wondered why
Mismagius seemed nervous around Him, but also being so close to Him, refusing to help other survivors but only Him, and only complying when He was yelling at It, it felt so weird to Him, almost seems like Mismagius is scared that if It doesn’t always protect It’s trainer, then It’s trainer might hate It.

The best case scenario is His partner is just really overprotective to only Him, the worst case scenario is it’s love wasn’t wasn’t given.

It was forced…
