Strange Ones: Volume 3

As Heard Through The Door...

"What about discrimination?"

"Humans are learning more of our culture nowadays. I must say, they are even beginning to be aware of the fact that Strange Ones do not tolerate with the discrimination of others. What is your point, Romeo?"

"My point, Mr. Dreemurr, is that I recently had the most terrifying vision." Romeo sadly shook his head.

Asgore's eyes widen. Meanwhile, Bendy and Weiss looked at each other, then turned their ears back to the door.

"What was this vision of yours about, exactly?" Asgore asked.

"I have seen an image of a world without people like you." Romeo sighed. "Chaos, destruction, fear and pain inflicted on so much innocent people. That is a world without Delta, because without you or any of your colleagues from Delta, then where has the hope gone?"

Weiss squinted her eyes and slightly tilted her head for a better chance of hearing the conversation. She was becoming more suspicious. What is he even talking about? She wondered.

"Well, Romeo," Asgore stood up from the table. "I'm sorry you had to see such an image like that. It must have been a horrible experience."

"It was." Romeo sadly nodded.

"But, please do not fret." He put a grin on his face. "As long as Delta is around, this world will be under our watch."

"Do you absolutely mean that?"

"Definitely. As a hero from Delta, our duty is to make sure that everyone is protected by the dangers of nefarious people."

Romeo chuckled. "You are quite the optimist, Mr. Dreemurr. I should appreciate meeting someone like you. Anyway, it seems our conversation has come to a close. Thank you for your time."

"It's my pleasure." Asgore nodded.

Hearing footsteps approaching the door, Weiss pulled her ear from the gray plank of wood before grabbing Bendy by the collar of his shirt and pulling him away. Standing in the hallway, she summoned a black glyph below her and the short teen. Seeing the glyph below him, Bendy opened his mouth to let out a shriek before Weiss covered his mouth with her right hand. They both heard the door open to see Romeo walk out from the room he was in with Asgore. Raising an eyebrow, he turned his head to the left. The blood red eyes of Bendy widen as he let out a quiet gasp.

"Romeo," Asgore's voice was heard from the room. "Are you feeling alright?"

"Uh, yes, Mr. Dreemurr." Romeo nodded before he continued walking. "I am."

Both Weiss and Bendy watched as the red-haired man walked farther down the hallway. That was when the ebony-haired Monster realized that the black glyph summoned by Weiss has made them invisible. After the glyph was gone, the snow-haired girl stood up and grabbed Bendy's arm, away from the door. They both marched from one hallway of Strange Coliseum to another until they stopped at a nearby cafe, where humans and Strange Ones were cheering for the winning team of the sixth round that was being displayed on the TV.

"Canada won against Rio." Bendy said before he looked down at the table with both his hands massaging his temples.

"And what does that have to do with what we were just listening to minutes ago?" Weiss looked at him as she took a sip of her water.

He gave her a stoic expression. "Right. That conversation with the boss and that dude. Whatever his name was."

"His name was Romeo." She put her cup down.

"Potato, potahto." Bendy layed his head on the table. "Something's not right, Weiss. He's gotta be up to something, I just know it! You heard what he said. Asgore wanting to be a god, an "uncertain" future? This doesn't make any sense."

Weiss fell silent. "It's about time you said my name for once. What's with you with giving people nicknames or calling them by their surnames?"

"I do that to a lot of people that I'm getting to know." He looked up at her. "That includes you too."

"And what about the kids?" She raised an eyebrow and put on a grin.

"Those guys are an exception."

Weiss let out a chuckle before she stood up from her seat and began to walk away from Bendy and the table.

"And where are you going?" Bendy raised an eyebrow.

"I'm just going to get Lloyd." Weiss said. "He has to hear about this as well."

"Yeah, you go do that, princess." He placed his forehead on the table before he began to sing a muffled song.

Everything will be a-okay

It will be fine at the end of the day

Don't be scared, listen to what I have to say

It will be okay

Yeah, it will be okay...

"Nice song you have there." An unfamiliar voice behind Bendy made him flinch.
