A diamond hidden within the gray line

Chapter 100: Unexpected surprise, marx's return and zöhm's sudden appearance.

-Roy pov/ ten minutes earlier-

Fuckin' hell i'm PISSED! Why would max hide that from me?! Mom might be dying? Pretty sure i would like to know that the moment max found out! FUCK! I couldn't help but sigh in frustration. I guess...eh..i guess it's not his fault that everything went downhill on his end of things...watching him kick that king boo guys' ass was awesome. I can't let my own brother show me up! These feelings, these..emotions. I'm s'pose to be the tough guy! The bully! Ever since he took the hit back at the parking lot, it's like I'm slowly gettin' soft! No way in hell am i gonna turn into a big softie..

As the minutes went by, roy had calmed down enough to head back inside and confront max in his own way, but at that moment...he immediately froze in place upon noticing the smell of cotton candy. "The fuck..?" Roy muttered in confusion and began to hear the sounds of rumbling nearby. The moment he looked towards the direction that had a pathway to and from the von ghoul estate, he was hit with terror that he never imagined he would have to encounter. It was candymaker itself, but its uniform it wore is tattered to the point that a part of its chest is exposed and in some places, smoke is billowing silently and the pants they wore are tattered but nothing was exposed. Even their scraggly beard had smoke billowing from it!

The look in its eyes almost looked as if it had murderous intent as the lollipop weapon is gripped tightly in their hands glowed ominously which made candymaker look truly terrifying.

The same bullet holes from before can be seen where max shot them and its hand still had the same damage from being shot at. Candymaker looked as if they had taken an extreme amount of damage yet it was moving as if they gave not one fuck. "Oh, shit..." Roy uttered. He knew that candymaker is staring right him and the possibility of being attacked was inevitable at this point. The very stare that peered into the soul is something that unnerved roy as candymaker got closer.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Why didn't i bring my wand with me?!"  Roy muttered since his clown copter is still inside. At the point, roy felt as if he was screwed.

-Roy pov-

Oh, hell no..i've seen this thing on that video recording, but to actually see it in person? Fuck...max definitely landed blows on 'em, but it's walking around as if nothing happened! If this thing doesn't pummel me, then pops will because leaving my clown copter while my wand is still inside was a good way to get yelled at..ESPECIALLY if you had to face mario!

-Narration-

"CANDYMAKER!!" Came the voice of max which made them look directly at max while everyone except for baron came outside and saw candymaker. "Max..?" Roy looked back to see max walking up to him and saw the intense stare in his eyes. "We'll talk later..." Max says to roy before slowly walking towards candymaker who is nat far from the stairs. Everyone else, even baron looked shocked upon seeing the state candymaker was in while larry looked determined to face them. "Larry, what the hell are doing?!" Mike demanded, as larry began walking with max.

"This thing scared the shit outta me the last time i directly encountered it...you think i wanna let that happen again? Hell no!" Larry says before walking down the stairs with max. Roy looked absolutely shocked for a moment. He had known larry his entire life and never once did he expect this out of him. "Not bad larry...not bad..." Roy says with a chuckle as he nods his head in approval.

-Bowser pov-

Holy shit...candymaker took a beating, and it still stands?! Max wasn't kidding when he that they wouldn't stay down...however, he's not alone! Not this time...that, and this thing is giGANTIC! As for larry...heh..good to see that he's not cowering away.
