Chapter Text
zig zag and alphonse have received a message in their watch by an anonymous person they both looked into it “an..anonymous person? We never got that kind of message before..” zig zag is perplexed by this, it questions alphonse “are you sure..its a-..uhmm..worth to go to?” They were then sent another message, a location “oh hey! It's near umicity by magical river! We might surprise millie, geo and bot on the way!” Alphonse beamed with excitement “wait..read the message!” Zig zag addressed

“Hello! An anonymous person since I'm probably not comfortable with who I am right now, it might be concerning at first but it would probably make sense if I explained why I needed you two.
Something major happened at the magical river, when I came to camp from there (there's a legal spot around here I got permission to) but I suddenly found a body from above the tree! I panicked and tried to call team umizoomi but it was 1:30 am right now and they weren't answering, I thought you'd be available, I know you're retired and all but if you have time to, could you please help!!!”

“…huh..that does sound suspicious and the location is out of bounds..i couldn't believe this” alphonse were about to close the message but zig zag tried to convince it to go to the location “alphonse! This might be our most bravest mission yet!” “NO! I..i dont want to risk this zig zag..not for some..guy” Alphonse refused “ alphonse! Someone tried to call team umizoomi and they weren't even answering, it's just going to be our one last mission before we could retire..thats that!" Zig zag begs him to go, they looked so excited but Alphonse was suspicious of the message, “sigh…fine…but we have to be extremely cautious, you got it?” Alphonse responded in annoyance, zig zag cheered as she then went into their little red airplane, when they landed there, they went to the forest by the magical river, and tried to search for the body “hey…wheres the body?” zig zag questioned, alphonse then turned to zig zag and explained “hey..i have an idea, we should split up but don't go too far from where we are now” “w-what?! But alphonse..its late and i dont wanna split up!” zig zag denied, they didn't want to take the risk “hey..its okay, its a scary mission but we will get through it” alphonse comforted them, it then hugged them, they hugged back, before they both finally splitted up, alphonse shouted “HEY! Hope you find a clue! So long teddy bear!” it joked “and so long…uh…oh whatever” zig zag laughed and walks around, they searched around the forest, they then saw a note, figuring it has something to do with the investigation, they then took it and read it out loud “..your fell for it” they were then confused, who would ever put it on a note..” wait this is a PRANK, UGHH! Lemme call alphonse..” zig zag then called alphonse, and it answered ‘Zig zag? What's going on, you found something?” asked alphonse “no..turns out it was some old prank i found a note that said, you fell for it” zig zag groans, alphonse was irritated by this “god..okay lets go back now see you here, and i just wanna say as a sibling that i love you!” “alrighty, love ya too!” zig zag then goes back to the same place, but alphonse was a little late, they then heard a gut-wrenching scream from afar, they ran to look for alphonse “ALPHONSE??? ALPHONSE ARE YOU OKAY?!” they ran around remembering where did it left to, they then found his hat and then..and then, he found his decapitated head on the ground, their face seemed lifeless and ripped skin through the eye, zig zag lets out breathless scream in fear, they were horrified, and them looking at alphonse’s head almost made her dizzy, they then sobbed, they sobbed a whole lot, they couldn't see “ALPHONSE..NOOO….PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS ANOTHER PRANK YOU MADE…THIS JUST..this couldnt be true..you cant be dead you cant you cant YOU CANT!!” they sat on the ground in front of the head of alphonse, they dont wanna look at its head but couldn't resist look at it..they looked so lifeless, they then realized, they had no choice but to go back but they are lost and don't know where to go, but decided to try and run to umicity, someone taps on zig zags shoulder and back up “..WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SIBLING, YOUR A MONSTER, THEY'RE DEAD, THEYRE DEAD BECAUSE OF..you…shape bandit..?” they questioned in disbelief, “oh wow..you recognized me pretty quickly” he chuckled softly a“tho if i were you..i would ugly cry loudly too, speaking of that you should shut up and speaking shut up i mean like i have no choice but to do the same to you because you'll tell everyone about this” shape bandit spoke quickly as he walks to them before tries to grab them and it reaches to zig zags face, leaving a scar, they yelled in pain but zig zag ran away in fear they ran tries to reach umicity, but the thing is..they don't know where they're going, all they see around them were trees, the dark night the only light is the moon itself, shape bandit chases them on, but he just walks, knowing zig zag doesn't even know where they're going, Zig zag was then standing there, looked around, seeing if they were far enough for him, “...running out of breath zig zag?” shape bandit asks, he then grabs zig zag and pins them on the trunk of the tree, he grabs his dagger and was trying to stab them but zig zag pushes the hand to avoid it “please..I DONT WANNA DIE, ITS NOT WORTH ANYTHING AT ALL..!!” zig zag screamed in horror “oh whats wrong? You're just going to die, it's going to be QUICK!” The shape bandit tries doing it again but zig zag keeps grabbing his wrists and pushes it to avoid it “WAIT WAIT..WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS..?!” zig zag asked “ugh..well i dont know im just having fun + its both of your fault for falling for the most obvious suspicious message, like..an anonymous message giving you to the out of bound location..” shape bandit answered “well..dont you have a horrible life? Is it the reason why you are killing people to ... .well…uhm this..?” zig zag asks out of their mind just for the sake of surviving, shape bandit laughed out loud “goodness…that was really cheesy of you, you know i get that you arent even an adult yet but im saving you from this horrible world and going somewhere more…peaceful for you, so maybe just shut up your wasting my time and i dont want anything from you-...actually i do! I JUST WANTED YOU GONE FOR NOTHING! You're retired after all…no one needs you ANYMORE!” The shape bandit explained, zig zag then took off his mask, and his face was completely revealed in front of them “you..YOU LITTLE RAT!” shape bandit shouted at her as he immediately stabbed them at the side of the neck, zig zag letting out a blood curling scream, feeling the pain as blood was squirting out, “PLEASE, NOO!” they yelled in pain, shape bandit then deepens the cut, letting their head out, its there, they're gone, shape bandit throws the head in anger, he then turns to the body, he took it with him and walks to alphonse head, they then sews it between them “hmm..woah it matches a little..wonky, eh whatever its fine” he then carries a brown bag and putting the body in it, tie it and throws off to the river “whenever someone found this, i hope they would know how incredibly creative to whoever made this, oh its me!” he joked, he then walks away back to umicity to his house.
AFTER FLASHBACK
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bot and squiddy came to the garage, where squiddy and shape bandit partially lives in, “squiddy..you sure it's a great idea?” bot asks, wanting to make sure its even worth it “of course bot, we were planning it then we are here right now , so don't make excuses!” he answered in an annoyed tone, they then inside the garage, and the slowly walks into shape bandits room, its full of storages as you might imagine “woah…he does indeed keep some things around here” bot whispers “whatever…lets look for something that might be evidence”, they look around the room, mostly around the small storage he has here, and bot found..tapes? “Huh? Thats alot of tapes here, hey squiddy i found some tapes in this box” bot called out to squiddy, he then came to his direction and looks at the tapes “oh..those are the tapes for his murder victims..yeahh..” squiddy answers awkwardly, bot was a little frightened and found..only zig zag? “Zig zag..wait w-..why only them? What happened to Alphonse?!” he asks in disbelief “i think there was a photo about it, look at the tape”, he then saw the photo behind the tape attached to it, with it writing “alphonse”, bot then detached it and behind the writing, its..alphonse decapitated head, bot yelled and hides it from him, he looked slightly traumatized, squiddy then goes to him “you good bot?” “..yes..squiddy..can i ask you…did you know about any of this?” Bot asked him, squiddy looks at him, nervous “what?! No! I mean I kind of do but it's because- ""because WHAT?! SQUIDDY YOU TOLD ME SOME DETAILS ABOUT THIS TO THE POINT WHERE ITS LIKE YOU KNOW ABOUT IT, THE EVIDENCE IS RIGHT THERE, AND YOU GRABBED ME ALONG WITH YOU JUST TO GRAB ABOUT SOME..INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED 2 YEARS AGO, YOUR RUBBING OFF MY FACE, SQUIDDY..ITS REALLY NOTHING IMPORTANT…OH WAIT IT IS BECAUSE I NEED TO TELL YOU ONE MORE THING…GET OUT OF MY LIFE!!” bot shouted at squiddy, he looked at him stunned, bot then realized what he was doing “squiddy…im…im so sorry i didn't mean to do that, I wasn't- that's not me that you think that you know of..” He apologies , squiddy then gives him a look then looked shocked “hey..bot..?” squiddy tries to give attention..for one reason “yeah?” bot answered “what is it now squiddy..okay..whatever i cant trust you” he then turns around, seeing shape bandit at the door, he looked shocked and angry, bot looks at him in surprise “oh..”
