Part 1

It's a moderately warm afternoon. There's a slight breeze in the air. A dry atmosphere. Ruins and rubble are scattered around everywhere. This is what "OT" has become. (wew cheesy af)
Suddenly, out from the shadows, appears a thin figure. He's not all too familiar with the place, just a newcomer. Was maybe hoping to settle down, but can see this place has outlived itself. He hunkers down to pick up some scraps of food and other supplies. A few bags of crisps and some other stuff. He quickly jumps up and rushes out, but not before being interrupted by someone.
Again, another shadowy figure steps out from the.. erm... shadows.. And before the first guy can turn his head he is instantly taken down by a makeshift tomahawk. The other shadowy figure walks over to it, takes the remaining supplies, and heads on their way.

 

Part 2

Inside a small ruin contained another OTer, which was a little more adventurous than the others, which resulted in a wounded leg. Luckily they were able to flee into an abandoned ruin. With only a few bits of cardboard as a "weapon," he limps out into the hot desert. He is immediately blinded by the bright sun, but blocks it with his arm. He makes his way over to a small water fountain, which is on it's last legs.
Suddenly he hears something nearby, and hides behind a group of dead trees. He peeks over and sees two other figures, one with a gun and the other unarmed. Suddenly he notices who is unarmed. It's Ilneutrino.
He doesn't wait for a single moment. He dashes out as fast as he can and just when the attacker is ready to pull the trigger, he leaps in front of Iln. Iln, covering her face, looks back in awe at a dead Hoyl on the ground. The attacker's gun is jammed and he's desperately trying to fix it, but Iln hears a few words escape from the dying OTer's mouth, "I've always loved you.." His head drops to the ground and he dies right there and then, a shotgun blast right through his chest.

Before the attacker notices, Iln makes a run for it, and manages to get away with a few scrapes.

 

Part 3

Meanwhile our old resident troll, Amane, was sitting outside his small tent, poking a stick into the ground next to his potato farm. He never really cared about the fact that he was out in the open, nobody came around anyways. Amane had quite a few kills under his belt anyways, so he was one to be feared of. So there was that, but also, ever since his generator blew a fuse so that he could no longer watch Death Note re-runs, he didn't care about what happened anymore. OT looked the same to him as it always did anyways.
So there he was, minding his own business. Meanwhille, in the distance...
Mikkmar, equiped with an old but functioning sniper rifle, with about 3 bullets left, took an aim towards him. He had been eyeing him for the last 3 days, waiting for the right moment to strike and take his belongings and food. Today was the day.

He set up his tripod over an old wall and took aim, taking into account the wind and his steadiness. Mikkmar cocked the bullet into the chamber, which echoed throught the area. Amane turned his head, but it was too late. As soon as he made out who the gunman was he was struck right between the eyes, his head practically exploding from the impact. He slouched over and fell onto the dusty ground with a thud.
Mikkmar threw away Amane's body and began to set up a permanent camp, as well as beginning to set up some defenses.

 

Part 4

A few hours after the violent encounter between Iln and the other mysterious figure, along with Hoyl, Iln found a dark, quiet ruin just a few miles away. She climbed into the ruin and went deep into the almost caverous-like building. She opened the door to an old office, which had a desk, a rusty safe and a broken computer. Iln took a golden key out of her pocket and unlocked the safe. Hidden inside was a revolver and 2 bullets. Suddenly she began to remember what terrible events had occurred.
Iln took the revolver and the bullets and quietly closed the safe door. She cocked the barrel of the revolver open and slotted the two bullets in, then she spun it around to where the first bullet was located. She took the gun and held it up to her temple, her finger on the trigger.

A loud bang could be heard from the building, followed by a few CROWS flying away in the distance

 

Part 5

A well known OTer by the name of 15man was more of an adventurer than most OTers. He was fearless and, like Amane, had a lot of kills under his belt. He was probably one of the most dangerous OTer in the area, and that was a bad sign for most OTers, including himself.
15man heard noises coming from a deep hole in the ground, and carelessly examined it. Unfortunately he lost his footing and slid down into the unknown depths below. He landed flat on his stomach, but got back up without a scratch. Just then, he quickly swiped around. He had heard a noise. Now, although 15man was definitely one to be avoided, he had his own problems to look out for, one including severe hallucinations. He wasn't sure how they came about, but it happened right when the OT plague started.
He whipped out a grenade from his utility belt, and fondled the pin. His eyes were wide open. Although his senses served him right, the truth was that one OTer was in hiding in this very location, but he was looking in the wrong place.
Suddenly, his mind got the better of him, when he thought he saw a figure moving across the landscape. He quickly unlatched the grenade pin and threw the grenade at the wall, which richocheted back towards him. He tried to run but he slipped on the damp floor, and waited for the inevitable.

A loud "boom" could be heard from everywhere in the cavern, following severe collapsing within it.

 

Part 6

Somewhere along the main murky river, under a bridge hid another OTer. His name was Ubermorgen (how convenient)
This OTer had been days without food, and had heard a loud bang just a few minutes ago. He was shaking and scared out of his life. Suddenly he heard a twig cracking near his location. He sat in silence for a minute or so, before building up the courage to take a quick look outside.

He was met with a shotgun barrel to the nose.

 

Part 7

It turns out that the other OTer that 15man had sniffed out was none other than zhs0O. He was busy scribbling down the new novel for the strange man, as well as having a shrine dedicated to him in the corner. When he heard the blast he was quick to check it out and was met with a bunch of rubble blocking most of the cave.
With no food or water, zhs0O knew this would be the end for him. And so he kept on writing his novels for a few days, until he didn't have the energy for it anymore. Suddenly, through a wisp of dust, the strange man appeared and said "zhs, you have worshipped me for all this time, it is time for me to repay you."

Zhs smiled. Although he stopped smiling when the strange man used telekinesis to throw him into the air and crash violently against the rock ceiling. Again, more cave-ins were brought upon the cavern and it was pretty much rubble from then on.

 

Part 8

VoodooCoffeeGuy was leaning on a broken wall, smoking a cigarette. Suddenly he saw a bunch of figures from afar. Holy shit, he saw a lot of figures. He quickly took out his binoculars and saw atleast a dozen dogs. He wasn't gonna try and count them, they were already moving so fast. He scrambled to take out his rifle and took good aim at the hounds, picking off about 2 or 3. No, there were too many!
He took off as fast as he could, he was actually gaining distance from them, but after a few minutes he started to get tired, and the dogs didn't look like they were about to stop anytime soon. He whipped out a baseball bat and hoped for the best. The first dog leaped up towards shoulder height and Voodoo swung as hard as he could, fracturing the dog's head and effectively killing it. The second one managed to get his teeth on his forearm. He shouted in agony. He whipped his head around to find two other people standing side by side, hands by their guns, laughing. It was Magin and Ruudi.

"I guess mods stick by each other, huh," Voodoo thought as he was pulled to the ground by the other dogs. Suddenly he heard a whistle and the dogs retreated. Magin walked over to him whilst Ruudi stayed where he was. Magin spoke up.
"Almost got me last week in that sewer, luckily I got backup." He smirked. Voodoo faked a smile, his hand still holding onto the baseball bat. Again, he swung it right in Magin's face, definitely breaking something. Magin bounced back and turned away, then back again with a swollen cheek.

"You never were the smartest guy, Voodoo. I was going to recruit you, but I don't think I could trust you either way." He pulled out his head, cocked the barrel and aimed it at Voodoo.
"And I know that I could never trust you." Voodoo managed to cough out. Magin smiled, again. "Well, I feel sorry for you, so I'll give you the easy way out." A loud gunshot was heard, followed by the gnarling of the hounds.

 

Part 8

Meanwhile while all that went on, our good friend aguspal was sitting on an armchair next to a broken TV in an old shack. "Damn, why is there no WiFi?!" He flew into a fit of rage and threw his phone across the room, which hit the wall and immediately split in half upon impact. "I just wanted to post on OT is all, not like it matters with the markdowngrade..." Aguspal was quietly mourning to himself when suddenly he noticed a wisp of dark smoke enter through the cracked window. The smoke surrounded him and he started coughing. When the smoke disappeared, he noticed who it was and his eyes immediately widened.

"Y-You're the Strange M-Man..." Aguspal was still recovering from the smoke attack. "I thought we got rid of you.. Long ago?" The strange man chuckled. "I was set free by a familiar OTer, which is now, erm... He has unfortunately hitten a 'deceased' status.." The strange man lifted his arms.
"Wait, zhs?! When d-did that h-h-happen?" Again, the strange man chuckled. "Well, let's just say nobody's written an obituary for him yet, haha.."

Aguspal's eyes widened even more, to which the point his eyelids made a full circle. (....Yea)

"Sorry I have to do this Aguspal, you were such a good follower.." He raised an arm which made Aguspal violently fly into the air. Then, he used another arm and made a flicking motion which sent Agus backwards, hitting the wall with a huge amount of force. He slid down gracefully, a trail of blood following behind him.

✦

"Ahhh, my mod senses are tingling!!" Ruudi said to Magin in agony. "Relax, you haven't killed anyone yet, I haven't got 'em since I killed all those newfigs last week." Magin crossed his arms.
"Uhh, I dunno. I don't like this place, why don't we just leave and go back to society?" Ruudi obviously didn't like this place, little did they know they had more than a few OTers to worry about. "We're in the wasteland now, Ruudi. It's every man for himself."
"Well what about us? What does that make us then?"
Magin looked Ruudi straight in the eyes. and then they kissed "It might not have to end that way, you know.."
Ruudi looked confused. Magin led the way by a few metres. "We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Assuming we'll even make it that far." Magin said to himself.

 

Part 9

Magin and Ruudi were walking back to their base, just an hour after the confrontation between Voodoo and them. Magin stopped in his tracks, which resulted in Ruudi bumping into him. "Ouch!"

"Shhhh! Do you hear that?" Magin asked him. He was silent. "Dunno what you're talking about." Ruudiluca replied. Magin carefully picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the area where he thought he heard the noise. It hit the ground with a thud but nothing happened. "Guess it was just my imagination, kinda like 15man, haha."
Suddenly a flash of lightning appeared in front of them, followed by a thunderous roar and a fork of lightning from the toxic gas clouds above. Sparks flew everywhere and a few cars even exploded around them. "Quick, Magin, over here!" Ruudi was behind a small barrier of sandbags. Magin ignored him and scrambled over to a pile of rubble, and peered over it. A humanoid figure emerged from the sparks and smoke. Again, it was the Strange Man.

"Shit, shit, shit.." Magin ruffled through his backpack for his gun. Ruudi had his ready. Magin looked up and gave Ruudi the signal by nodding. Ruudi stepped out and fired a few rounds at the figure. The bullets passed through him and clinked off a few cars in the distance, not affecting the Strange Man whatsoever. The Strange Man used telekinesis to take a metal rod from a ruined building and swung it towards Ruudi, who had managed to narrowly miss it. Instead the metal rod was flung over to where Magin was, which knocked him down.

The Strange Man was gaining his power. His hands reached up in the air and a lightning fork struck through his hand. Magin tried to get out from the area but the Strange Man transferred this electrical energy through his hand and over to Magin, which electricuted him and he fell to the ground, still somehow conscious. Magin looked over to Ruudi. "Get out of here while you still can, you can stop this!" A teary tear was produced from Ruudi's left eye, not right eye like in those sad movies. The Strange Man's head twisted 180 degrees over to Ruudi and he spoke an ancient language. Ruudi made a run for it.

Once again the strange man transferred the electrical energy from his body to Ruudi but instead hit a broken car, which exploded into a bunch of shrapnel and glass. Ruudi dived into a half-assed roll but managed to get up and keep running. He didn't look back. The Strange Man shrugged, and turned to Magin.

"I can͟ g̢et͟ h̛im aǹo͟ther t͏ime, ̢I'͠l͏l͢ deal̢ ̢wi̡th y͟o҉ù ҉n̶ow.͟" He smiled his toothless grin. "You'd have to be pretty fucking stupid if you think you're g-gonna get the upper hand this time. You didn't last time." The Strange Man took his arm and snapped it backwards, revealing the bone.

"An͜d w̧hat̛ m͢a͡ke͝s͢ ̷you ̶thi͜n͡k̵ ͞Í w̛o͡n't ̡d̀o͢ ̛it th͢is̛ ti̛m̶e? ̷" Magin looked back, almost gone.

 

"My҉ s̡hrìn̨e̵ ̧i̧s B͖̥̞̲̤ͦͥ̆͐̾ͯ͛̕͝U̲͍̮̹̫̣͆̈́̐̾̓̐̋R̃͒̎̌̄ͧͪ͏̺͖̦͔Iͫ҉̫̝Eͮͤͫ̃͊̚͏̣̙̭͠D͙̘̰ͧ̒, T͘͞he͏̵̀ ̨̧su̧͝͡m͜͡m̶o͘͢n̷̨͡e̛r̵ ̸í͠s̀ D̨̡̲̰̣͍̗͊͒ͭ̿͐̃È̖͎̙̺̻̻̻͚ͫ̌̐͆A̭̜̹̭̮͚͍̔͒̉ͣ͛̍͂D̸̦͇͖̍̇̐̎̆ͫ̓̈̕, N̤̫ͧ͋͌͛̿̈͟ȯ̹ͨ́́̚b̗̝̰̮̼͇̭ͮ̅̄ͯ͌͘ỏ̞̫̖͈̣͕ͦ̈̀d̨̤͈͎͖̐ͩ͆ͩ̾y̰̮͈͕͉̯̋̄͒ͦ̑̈̆́̕ ̴͕͉̻̺̹͍̫̯̑ͥ̋͐͑̍̚̕c̨̯̟͖ͯ͛͋͂̑aͨͧ̎͐͐҉̱̥̗̜̝̱̥̫́ͅnͫ̐̓͊҉̠̻͖ ̨͌͛̉̃̉̿̐ͩ͟͏̩͉͓s̵̨͓͍̬ͥ͋̍́̊͂͌a̧̛͍̹̝͙͚̺͖̓ͨ̐̈v̸̫̞͕̥̠̯̘̗̇ͭ̏͋ͣ̇̚̚͢ȩ͕̪͎̝̓ͯ̂͑͛͆̆͘ ̏ͤ̐̂͠͏̢̖͉ͅy̢͔̺̤̖̖ͧ̊̄̍̉͢ỡ̜̳̺̺͈̠́̔ų͕͎͔̠̫̖̺͔͉ͯ̍̈́̌̈́ ̳̫̙͉͚̜̱̲̅̕n̞͔ͩ̂o̴̩̻̜ͨͥ͘ẉ̮̦̼͍͎̓̄͐̋͗͠ͅ..

He stopped for a minute.

 

 

"OT̷ ̕h̡a҉s Pͨ̈̾͐ͩ̾ͪ̑҉̶̴͏͇̳̫̝̲E͊̏͆͆̐̽̋͊͊ͯ̃̌͋ͯ̋̈́̿͠͏̶̱̣̪̫͠R̛̤͇̩̲͖͍͛̉ͯͪͯ͑̑̆̾̾̆ͤ̍̉̉̄͆͆͢I̛͉̰͔̰͇̘̮̳̖̥̭͕͈̝̲̬͔̺͂ͪ̆ͨͤ͒̽̀ͯ̒ͭ̓̀ͩ̄̈͘͝͝ͅS̤̗̲̮̖̟̳̻̠̫͆̌̈̽̐͐̀͜ͅH̽̃̂̎͒ͣ̾̐̄̐͏̴̶̗̪̣̻̠͢E̥̗̻͍̮̫̟̤̖̹̜͉͎͕̬̰̍ͧͫ̄̑͛ͪͤ̄͢͞D̶̶̡̰̪̪̦̙̳͙͎ͬͦͭ̈ͭͯ̔͛̓̅̅ͩ̀͠.̃ͪ͌͌̾ͮ̐́̀̓ͦ͒̒̈́̑ͪ̏ͬ͏͉̮͎̪̫̣̥̟̼͜͝͠ͅ!"

 

 

And with that, he drew a bunch of objects towards them both and made them transfer to one point, which resulted in a huge explosion with only a deep crater left behind.

 

Part 10

Meis had not been heard of from this entire season, but that's because he was holed up in a building, tight with security and on complete lockdown. A few OTers tried to get in and some had managed to, but Meis made good work of them, as well as good use of them...

Anyway, he found a generator the day before and plugged it in. It seemed to work fine but that night when he was fast asleep, the generator made a few screetching sounds and, after a few minutes, sparked a bit and caught fire. Meis awoke to his entire room being covered in fire and thick black smoke. As soon as he got up he violently coughed before trying to have a go at making it to the door.

He opened it and what he soon realised that he might not get out of this alive, and if he did, it wasn't gonna be without a scratch. Now, with either two options, of running through the fiery death trap or jumping out the third storey window, he had to act fast. He knew he would die out in the fire, and he knew it would be a painful death, so he decided to risk it and leaped out the window. He fell with a crash onto 'not enough cardboard' and severely fractured his back, rendering him unable to get up.

So being stranded there whilst his only shelter burned to the ground, he had time to think, but not for long though. You'd think a large source of light would attract some survivors or maybe even a good samaritan or two, but what showed up first was a pack of feral dogs.

A tear rolled down from meis' eye "ggwp"

 

Part 11

Mikkmar was holding his ground with a scoped sniper, without any sleep for 3 days. After that huge explosion from the west he didn't sleep a wink since. He closed his eyes for a split second and slightly slouched over to the left, but his finger pulled on the gun and a shot was fired. The sound deafened Mikkmar but he also shot up and looked around quickly. Once he noticed what happened he went back to his post. A few hours passed and he started to feel sleepy again, but this time he didn't have his finger on the trigger like last time. He set the gun down and decided to get some shut-eye.

A few hours passed when he was awoken with a loud bang and a "shit!" He grabbed the sniper and tried to load a bullet into the chamber, which made a loud click. Mikkmar winced and waited a few seconds. He heard nothing except for the sound of rummaging. He peeped over the corner and saw a hooded figure. He quickly stepped back and took a deep breath.
He stepped out again and aimed the gun at the figure. The figure stepped back to face Mikkmar, which turned out to be none other than Bloodscourge. He slowly took out a switchblade which had already been activated. "Blood, if you don't get out of here right now I will shoot," Mikkmar was getting red. Blood tilted his head to the side and calmly stepped towards him. Mikkmar panicked and quickly pulled the trigger but the bullet was jammed. Blood took advantage of the situation and disarmed Mikk, then he began to back Mikkmar up against a wall. "Hey now, there's n-no need to do anything you m-might r-r-regret," Mikkmar managed to spit out, stammering.
"Sorry Mikkmar, you were a good friend, but I just need this to end already." He threw a punch at Mikkmar which knocked him out cold. He scavenged around the place and found an ancient desert eagle in an old wooden chest. He loaded a full magazine into it and took the remaining mags for a later time. He returned to Mikkmar's almost seemingly-dead body, and brought the gun right to the side of his head and pulled the trigger. He didn't even take into account the noise that it would make but it was more than enough to finish the job.

"Hey! Everything alright up there?" Someone called from outside the base. Blood gestured the man over and when he arrived he said, "For fucks sake Burnt, there's still people around here, who knows who heard you!" "Not my fault, you just fired a shot that everyone in the country could hear tbh." Blood shook his head and turned to Mikk, whilst showing Burnt what he did. "Damn! Had to be done mate, we're just one step closer to freedom if you think about it."

Blood turned around, his head down. "But we have to go through killing everyone we know, just for freedom, or whatever the reward is, kinda forgot about it by now.." Burntfires22 put his hand on Blood's shoulder "Hey, if you spend all day twisting words around you can make anything sound terrible!" Blood gave him 'the look,' and shook him off, leaving the base. Burnt followed closely behind. "What? Hey, chin up man, we're only a few steps away from getting out of this shithole." Blood stopped walking and turned to him.

"Hey, listen Blood. While you were doing your fun killing spree I found something pretty amazing, follow me." Burnt lead and Blood followed him, which lead them to a rusty garage. "Ta-da!" He said as he unveiled a white cloth to reveal a small helicopter. "Where the fuck did you find that?!" Blood was in disbelief. "Was in a small garage next to Mikk's hideout, and it's got a full tank of gas. We can scout for our next target much easier with this bad boy!"
Blood hesitated, but finally said "Fine, not like we have anything else to lose.. Besides our lives.."

"That's the spirit!" Burnt exclaimed, excitedly.

 

Part 12

Ruudi was sitting on the ground, a good few miles away from the strange encounter. "It's only a matter of time before he gets me," he thought to himself. "...Unless.." He quickly stood up and looked around him, then dashed towards the location of their base. He went inside the building and pulled up the computer, which he surprisingly had power for it. He opened up a folder encrypted with a passcode, which showed some co-ordinates and a faint map. He took out a piece of paper and a pencil, and scribbled down the co-ords. He ran outside, but not before refilling on ammo and bringing some food and other essentials.

He headed south. He was going strong for a few miles until he heard a whirring behind him. "Huh?" He looked up to find a small chopper, manned by two familiar OTers. "Oh shit." Ruudi sped up and made a run for it, diving into a ruined building. He was safe for the moment.

"Hey, where'd he go?" Burnt asked aloud. "He went in there," Blood retorted, pointing to Ruudi's temporary hideout. Burnt opened fire with a mounted machine gun on the side of the chopper. Bullets sprayed across the entire building, some going straight through the glass from the windows and one even manage to hit Ruudi in the arm. Ruudi scowled. As did Blood.
"Burnt, calm down on the ammo!" Burnt smiled. "Hey Blood, can you by any chance get us down on the ground anytime soon?"
"Dude, I barely fucking got this off the ground, give me some space man!" Blood replied. "Well I bet this is just gonna end great," Burnt said ironically.

Ruudi peeped out from one of the broken windows and took aim with his handgun. He shot a few times at the front and managed to have one richochet inside the chopper, eventually hitting Burnt in the foot. "Ahh, goddamnit tbh," Burnt said, in pain. The shock of the bullets caused Blood to lose focus and the chopper tipped sideways a little, but he managed to get it upright again. Ruudi kept shooting. He took his aim off the front and looked for the rotors. Clinks and chips were heard from the chopper, and it was quickly losing speed and soon, altitude.

"Burnt, check the storage unit at the back, Quick!" Blood exclaimed. Burnt left the machine gun and rummaged through the contents. "What have you found?"
"Parachutes!" Burnt called back. "Perfect! Alright, how many?"
"Two."
"Nice. Hand one to me there."
The chopper was already beginning to stall, so time was a vital factor in this. "Alright Blood, we jump out on the count of three." Burnt said. "Three, two, one... GO!!" They leaped out of the helicopter, and just in the nick of time too. Ruudi focused carefully, held his breath and fired one last round which managed to find it's way right into the gas canister, causing the aircraft to violently explode, which also blinded the two guys from Ruudi's line of sight. Ruudi teared up a bit. "Sorry, guys. I'll fix all of this soon enough. Hopefully." He quickly vaulted over a wall and continued to his initial destination.

The parachutes were pierced from flying bits of metal and so both Blood and Burnt fell a lot faster. Burnt fell head first, along with Blood who had his fall broken from Burnt. Blood was dazed but got up pretty quickly, expecting to be apprehended by the awaiting Ruudiluca. When he realised nobody was around, he turned to Burnt, who had successfully, uh.. Lived? But he was in bad nick. "Blood, I don't feel too good, I might need to sit down for a while." He walked over to the building but as he was about halfway there Blood shouted towards him "Watch out!" But it was too late.

There, in the shimmering sunlight, was a brick. A small brick, but a brick nonetheless. Burnt's foot caught behind the brick and he fell face first into the hard ground. Blood waited, but Burnt didn't get up. He ran over to him and carefully turned him over. Burnt's face was messed up, big time. "Blood, here." Burnt took out a powerful explosive out of his pocket. "Use this to destroy him. Do it for me." Blood was so confused. "Wait, you just survived from an explosion mid-air, and now you're gonna die from tripping over a fucking brick?! Are you serious mate?" Burnt smiled. Blood continued on his rant. "And now you're giving me this thing! What is it? What does it do?" Burnt turned towards him. "You'll know what to do with it when the time co-"
"No I fucking won't, what kind of game are you playing? And who is "him"? Ruudi? Someone else? And why an explosive, why not a gun or a fucking baseball bat atleast, something that makes sense or so-"
Burnt snapped back at him. "Look, I'm the fucking storyteller I'll tell you how this works, just get on with it for fucks sake."

An awkward silence was followed by a cough. Burnt broke the silence. "Go south, meet Ruudi, you'll know what to do. Now I must join the rest of the OTers.." He made a crackly groan before falling limp. Blood let go of him. "Alright Burnt, I will avenge thee."
Burnt opened his eyes "10/10 ggwp mate..."

 

Part 13

 

Blood headed south. He was walking at a moderate pace when he heard a few claps of thunder. He turned around and saw a flash of lightning in the clouds. "Shit, that's coming stright for me." He gripped the special grenade firmly and put it into his backpack. He turned on his heel and sprinted towards his unknowing destination.
When he reached the ruin he noticed that the door (or what was left of it) was wide open, so he headed inside. As he walked in he heard a creak coming from below. "Here we go." It didn't take long for Blood to find the staircase to the basement.

♢

Ruudi was only a few feet away from him, behind a barricaded door. The door was blocked with a rather large sofa. He managed to locate where the shrine of the Strange Man lay. He was right on the outside of the hole, which used to have a passage in but was completely destroyed from the explosions beneath. Ruudi looked around and found a ten metre-long piece of rope. He tied it to a rusty coat hanger and took a deep breath. Suddenly he heard a loud banging from outside the door. "I know you're in there, Ruudi!" The voice was a bit muffled over the door and the huge room, but Ruudi could make out who it was. Ruudi called out. "Blood! There's no reason in fighting over this, we've got a much bigger problem right now!" He was almost interrupted by a very agitated Blood. "Yeah right, you're just saying that because I got more votes than you!" Ruudi looked puzzled. "And besides, Burnt gave me this grenade and told me to 'finish the job'." "But-" Ruudi stopped in his tracks. "Wait! What kind of grenade?"

"Huh? Why does it matter? And it's not like I fucking know, he just gave it to me."
"Describe what it looks like." Ruudi waited for a reply. "Erm... It's jet black, with like a glowy neon-blue look to it, erm... How is that important?" Ruudi wasted no time in moving the sofa away from the door, whilst keeping his pistol in his hand. Blood has his as well.

♢

Blood watched as the door slowly creaked open, but just as he got a view of Ruudi, he was already aiming, but Ruudi shouted, "WAIT!" Ruudi quickly showed him his pistol and slowly set it down on the ground. "I'm not going to try anything on you, Blood, but I really need that grenade off of you." Blood tightened his grip on the pistol, his hand on the trigger. Ruudi flinched a little, but Blood didn't notice. "Blood, p-please let me explain.." Blood was intent on finally ending this but his humanity was getting the better of him. "Blood please.." Bloodscourge slowly held the gun down, now having it face the floor. He looked up at Ruudi. "Alright, you better explain everything in detail, and I mean everything."

♢

Blood was dumbfounded. "So the Strange Man is back, and you need this grenade to the destroy the shrine?" Ruudi sadly shook his head. "It's not that simple, unfortunately. He took out a stick of dynamite and a lighter. "We need to trap the Strange Man in that grenade, which isn't even a grenade, it's a soul capturer." Blood was still confused. "But, Blood, we only have one shot at this, these things are very rare and very fragile. Show me it for a second." Blood was reluctant to hand the item to Ruudi, but did so anyway. "Hmmm, no cracks or anything. We might have a shot at this." Blood asked, "So where is this shrine?" "Down that hole, in that cavern, not sure where exactly yet," Ruudiluca replied.
Suddenly Blood snatched it back without warning. "No, you're bullshitting me. The Strange Man is just a stupid story that zhs came up with, I know exactly what you're trying to do, and I'm not having it!" "Blood, I'm sorry for doing this," just as Blood managed to aim at Ruudi, Ruudi elbowed him in the face, slapped the pistol out of his hand, and grabbed the mysterious object back again. Blood grasped at his nose, it was bleeding pretty badly. He had his eyes shut but he opened them again, just as he did he noticed Ruudi jumping down the hole, so he grabbed his pistol and he jumped down after him, without a harness.

♢

Ruudi landed on his two feet, with Blood falling flat on his stomach about 5 feet from the floor above. Again, Ruudi still had a bit of humanity and asked Blood if he was okay. Suddenly Blood grabbed firmly on Ruudi's foot and he fell on the rocky ground, the weird object fell out of his hand and onto the ground, which luckily enough, managed to land in one piece after bouncing around a few times. Ruudi however, wasn't as lucky. Blood quickly jumped up and pinned Ruudi down, taking his switchblade out of his side-pocket. "Wait, Blood! No!" Ruudi called out as Blood attempted to stab Ruudi's arm, but Ruudi was holding him back, having enough trouble doing it. Blood was too strong for him however, and he managed to jam the blade into Ruudi forearm. Ruudi winced but the adrenaline was pumping through him at this stage. Bloodscourge drew the blade out carelessly and violently, as he prepared for another blow, "maybe in the chest," he thought.
The blade dived towards Ruudi but he quickly rolled out of the way, grabbing his pistol. He took aim at Blood but Blood pushed his arm in the air, making Ruudi shoot at the cave ceiling, which resulted in a few decently-sized rocks falling right on Blood's leg. Blood shouted in pain, Ruudi rolled him off of him, and grabbed his blade. He jammed it up against a nearby wall and broke it, and just as Blood managed to roll the rocks off his now limp leg, Ruudi leaped on him and punched him a few times in the chest, before getting up, grabbing the object and making a run for it.

Ruudi sprinted away from the scene, narrowly avoiding stalagmites, jumping over streams and carefully walking over small beams that led down into huge chasms. He eventually reached the shrine, and now all he had to do was wait for the Strange Man.

Blood awoke from his unconscious state. He tried to get up but he fell over due to the loss of feeling in one of his legs. He waited a few minutes to let the circulation back into his leg but he was still limping. Ruudi's wound left a trail of blood and Blood decided to follow it. It was a hard walk for him, he had been limping around for nearly an hour, each physical task more taxing than the rest, but he finally made it to where Ruudi was, who had his back to him. He quietly took aim with his pistol, and whilst leaning against a wall, fired. The shot narrowly missed him and hit the wall, which ricocheted into nowhere. Ruudi quickly turned around and grabbed his gun. Blood tried to fire another round and his gun cocked. He was out of rounds. Ruudi took aim and Blood shut his eyes. Ruudi noticed the situation and dropped the gun on the ground. Blood opened an eye and was completely surprised at this. After an awkward silence he quickly walked close to Ruudi and sat near him, accepting what seemed to be a sill story, but he had to obey Ruudi now, lest he face certain death.

♢

Blood broke the long awkward silence. "So what do we have to do?" Ruudi replied, "I'm gonna wait for him to appear and I'm gonna hopefully trap him in this soul capsule."
A loud wind came in through the caves, and Ruudi grabbed his pistol. Blood was a little scared but stayed still. A voice spoke through the whistling of the wind:

"N̟͔̥̦̘͕͌͆̑o̙͋̐͑ͥ̄̈́t̛̰͙̮͙̟͐ ̈́͘a̤̝̘̹ ͬ͛̀̋̎͞c̭̲̣͖̭̺̿ͣ̓̎ͪ͋͟ͅh͌́ͅa̡͓͕̔ͅn̢̎ͤ͂ͦc̳̠̠̯͚͕ͣ̅ͥͤ͗ͥe̷̙ͬͩ."

Suddenly the Strange Man materialised through thin air right in front of them, and immediately grabbed the weaker one, Blood in this case as he could barely move without a signifigant amount of pain. Ruudi took a rock and threw it at the incorporeal figure, which swished around in the air, letting go of Blood, who fell to the ground. The strange man recollected himself from nothing.

"Ė̑͛͊̆ͣ͋͒͌͞҉͈͓͍̥͔͙͔n͕̣̹ͯ͛̉̀̋͆̚o̷̞̘̲̬̱͙͑̾̿̉́̄̀͜ư̝͎͉̞̽ͩ̿͟ͅg͕̙͔͖̺͍̱͍̼̒̅̏̎͗͌͋̏h̵͙̜͍͖̞͇̻̺͌͟."

He wrapped himself around Ruudi, which slowly crushed around him. He tilted and walked slightly over to where the shrine was, and fell head first onto the ground, right next to the shrine. "Argh! Blood, look out!" Ruudi kicked the gun over to Blood who took it and got ready. 3 purple men in fedoras emerged from the walls and by this time, Blood managed to kill all 3 of them in no time with a quick bullet to the head. The slouched over and exploded into purple dust. Just then, Ruudi called out, "Blood, activate the object then throw it at me!"
Blood called back, "but what about you?" "It doesn't have any affect on me! Do it now!" Blood followed his instructions and a beam of electricity connected itself with both the Strange Man and the shrine, causing the shrine to violently explode, rendering the Strange Man mortal. The Strange Man turned to blood and made a waving motion, which made the gun fly out of his hand, just a few feet away from him. Just as he was about to reach for it he was tugged into the air by the forces of the Strange Man. He may have been mortal, but he was more powerful than ever. He threw Blood into the air and hit him against the rocky wall a few times, breaking a few minor bones, and his left arm.
Just as he was about to finish the job, Ruudi sucker the Strange Man across the face. He fell flat on the ground and lost Blood's grip. Blood scrambled over to where the gun was and took aim. It was too late. The Strange Man had taken Ruudi and although Ruudi tried his best, he was no match for the Strange Man. Blood took a shot at the Strange Man which fired right between his eyes, resulting in half his head exploding. He screamed in pain.

"ͩ͌̎̌̉͏҉̨̞̬͕N͈̯͒̒̐o̷̢̘̻ͩ̔ͥo̸͈̬̤̟̭̭ͥ̀ő̸̫̫̝̮͚̫̗͙̲̏ͤ͑ͩ̓͊ͥ͋͜ȯ̗͎̱̰̫̙͓̂̈́̎̃ö͙̟̠̈́͑̐̓͆o̶̧̝͂ͧő͊̇ͩ̍̅̊͝҉̹̠̥̤̝̤!̪̜͆͐̇̈́̊̋͡"̲̟ͩ

"Get outta here!" Ruudi called, and Blood made a run for it immediately. He was being chased by purple men but they fell into the chasm when it came to jumping the huge gap. Blood looked back, and suddenly a large explosion blasted through all the walls of the huge cave system. He was being pulled in but before he could figure out what was going on, everything went black.

♢

Blood awoke in a building, his arm was bandaged but he still had a lot of pain in his joints. "You're awake, finally." A familiar face popped into his view. It was none other than Abraaz. "I came back after I heard about what happened in OT, but I soon figured out what happened. So I set up this hospital thing, it's worked wonders for people."
Blood asked "How many?"
Abraaz turned to face him. "Well, just you so far. And Ruudi hasn't woken up, pretty sure he's gone.." He admitted.
"But how? Where did you find us?" "Uh, just in the middle of nowhere tbh." Abraaz replied.

♢

Blood got up and Abraaz showed him where Ruudi was. He was just lying there, his eyes wide open like he had seen a ghost. "Yep, ded." Abraaz said as he poked Ruudi with a stick. "So... What now?" Asked Blood.
"Well," Abraaz said, "you can either leave and go on with whatever journey you have, or you could.... Maybe, help me.. Rebuild OT?" Blood grinned. "OT in a heartbeat, do you think I have anywhere to go? C'mon.."
"Haha, that's the spirit!" Exclaimed Abraaz.
