Memory Synchronization

CHAPTER 5: Memory Synchronization (PART 3)

Medal: ... I guess there's really nothing better to do in Hell.

Medal carried Ibis on his head and went to... Torch? He's more like Eye Patch but on fire.

Eye Patch: Haha, it's my caretakers! Thank god! My life's in your hands, and you two are always nice. So you can either wake me up or... listen to my master.

Medal: Huh?

Ibis fell off Medal's head and stood up in pain, seemingly having a hard time to move normally after what just happened.

ibisPaint X: Haah... huh. Those freaks... I'm hollow... Running... so low... how? Like they... sucked my life out. (drops on the ground, curled up) My form... is unstable. I can't speak. Agonizing...

Ibis crawls towards Eye Patch and looks at Medal, talking to Inkwell and Scroll.

ibisPaint X: They're distracted, talking...

Ibis continues to drag herself towards Eye Patch and transform into some sort of thorn monstrosity, ready to attack him.

ibisPaint X: It wouldn't matter. It's the only way to stop this madness.

Medal, unaware that Ibis isn't with him anymore, is still talking to Inkwell and Scroll. Inkwell noticed that Ibis isn't with Medal anymore upon looking up.

Inkwell: Hey Medal, where's Ibis?

Medal: Huh?!

Then there's also Eye Patch, unaware that he's about to get attacked by Ibis.

Eye Patch: The heck's that noise?

GLURP

SCRAPE

Eye Patch: Stop eating so lou-

SQUEEU

GURGLE

As Eye Patch looked behind him, that's when he knew, he fooked up.

Eye Patch: MOTHEROFFRIGGINGOD

ibisPaint X: nHgUYumhh...

Eye Patch just stood there out of fear, not knowing what to do. Ibis then released the trigger and stabbed him with her thousands of teeth. Inkwell then carries Medal and throws his lace around Ibis to get her out of there as Eye Patch fell onto the ground

ibisPaint X: HURGH!

Inkwell then snatches Ibis' leg and puts her next to Medal.

Medal: This ends. Now.

Eye Patch: (thinking it was directed to him) MEDAL, PLEASE! YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL ME!

Medal: I was talking to Ibis.

Eye Patch: Oh...?

Medal: I'll get to you. When we got here, these thorns writhed through her. Her... head too. I thought she died, but I figured she was still breathing. The inside of anyone's head is too volatile for her. We're all gonna fall apart, we need to escape.

Eye Patch: Yeah, I GATHERED! Are you not gonna mention how she NEARLY ATE ME?

Medal: What?...

Eye Patch: Nevermind, I don't wanna talk about it.

Airy: (looks at Ibis) Maybe we can use her to get out?

Medal: I guess her special brush tool still work?

Eye Patch: Are you insane? That could potentially break my head!

Medal: And?! It won't hurt more than a headache! We're OUT!

Medal walks towards Profily whilst pushing Ibis towards him.

Profily: Huh?

Medal: Can you uh... take Ibis' special tool out and stab it on the ground? I don't have arms to do so.

Profily: Oh! Sure thing!

Profily pulls the special tool out of Ibis and stabs it on the ground, just like what Medal said. Eye Patch then cries out in pain.

Eye Patch: ARGHHH!!! IT HURTS LIKE CRAP!! MEDAL YOU LIAR!!

Ibis' eye suddenly widened, as if she felt something go through her head. She inhaled and then her eyes went red and screamed.

ibisPaint X: IT'S ALL COMING- MEDAL!!!

...

[1 YEAR BEFORE THE INKFECTION]

In an office of Artist's Tower, there's Flag sitting on a chair in front of a desk while Torch stand beside him.

Flag: Hey, I don't think you ever told us your name...

Torch: Name? ... It's Eye Pa- I mean, Torch.

Flag: Oooh! Nice to meet you then, Torch! Welcome to Artist's Tower! We do some goofy cartoons and other stuff like comics and plushies in this company. You will be in the music department. My boyfriend and co-worker, Painting, will go show you around the studio first before you can start working. Have fun around here!

Torch: I just wonder... I love my nee workplace company, there are a lot of nice people here, like Syringe. They won't throw me away as quick as Arrow and her friends... right?
