genocide

act 1, chapter 6- literal plot armor

As soon as she thought those words though, the world stuttered.

An unbearable torrent of white noise filled her ears, and she thought for a small moment that she could see lines and lines of indecipherable words and numbers everywhere.

And then the white noise overwhelmed her senses, and she was whisked away.

The blood god was very amused. Things haven't been this fun for a very long time. He still remembered Techno's indignant response to him making them flee from a fight, but every single one of those puppets had plot armor, it'll all be worth it in the long run when he's stripped enough of that armor away.

He could already see the code coalescing on the girl, taking her self doubt, taking her depression, and ripping it all from her, returning her to her original confident and independent personality. They then snatched her from his shoulder and inserted her back into the group, smoothing over everyone's memories so it's like she was never knocked out and instead chased him to the town hall also.

Perfect.

Things might look bad, but it was all part of his plan. The lazy code was playing right into his hands, and it thought it was preventing him from doing any more damage!

He pulled his fire resistance potion, ender pearl, and invisibility potion, and stopped driving the group apart so they could gather, all according to plan.

A goal without a plan is just a wish, after all.

"Alright guys," Jesse shouted, back with the group after the arrows stopped driving them apart. "We all attack the pig at the fountain, and once he surrenders we light the portal and get out of here!"

"Go!" Petra shouted, charging in, everyone following at her heels. They crossed the grand hall quickly, all collapsing on the pig man.

"Bunch of amateurs, all of you," said the man, still bored, parrying all the attacks the four threw at him, nimbly hopping on the edge of the lava fountain.

"Stop underestimating us!" Jesse shouted, although how skilled the psycho really was did surprise her, being able to fight the four of them and look like he wasn't trying. "And stop looking so disinterested like we're not worth your time!"

"Thing is, you're not." the man snarked.

"You dirty-" Petra yelled, cutting herself off as she suddenly landed a strike that threw the man off balance by a little.

Our chance! Jesse thought, eyes widening. He rushed forward, swinging his sword at the masked man so that he couldn't regain his balance, and as if it was in slow motion, the man fell backwards into the fountain of lava, burning alive. All four of them leaped away from the fountain, watching in horror as the screams suddenly died.

"Jesse?" Petra asked quietly. "Did we just do that?" Jesse looked on in horror.

"Did I just... kill him?" he asked diminutively.

"But..." Ivor said. "He deserved it, surely! He would've just killed more people if we didn't do what we did!"

"Yeah..." Jesse said, breathless. "We freed the townspeople that were living in fear. We won!"

"Yeah!" Petra said, shakily. "We won!"

"We did it!" cheered Lucas.

In the lava fountain, hid Technoblade with fire resistance, who was slowly regaining his senses and processing what happened, and the blood god, laughing at the heroes' expense.

The plan was underway.

the reason the 'death' is underwhelming is, well, nobody died. the adventure is just beginning, after all >:)

whoever finds the sneaky obscure anime reference gets a digital cookie

translation of zalgo text:

you can't loose your confidence

you're one of the main characters

so you'll understand if your memories have to go
