Ladder.
You finally find something after going through room to room, you point at the ladder to Rainbow and Gold. They nod at this, as you start to climb it. You're rushing due to your friend being caught by the ugly- you mean Sweetheart. You don't know what she'll do to her, and you don't want to find out the hard way..
As you climb higher, you start to hear music.. music and a cat dying.. and.. And screams.. It sounds like Funneh!! You quicken your pace, as you reach the end. You jump out the trapdoor, as you leave it open for the others and try to listen to where the sound is coming from.. on your left is a large door.. that must be it.. right? You point to the door, "Oh! There's that stage area.. that's where they said were grouping" Gold exclaims, repeating the words that Sweetheart had said before in her mind.
They're killing a cat in there too!
"..Huh?!? What??" Rainbow exclaims, in complete shock. "That's horrible, let's get in! Fast!!" She exclaims, as she closes the trapdoor shut. "Hey do you have any tick-" the three of you bust through the door.
..
You enter a large stage venue.. this is where you played the gameshow earlier.. this is a new angle to look at it from.. multiple lines of chairs fills your view, they're all pointing towards the stage, all occupied, which leaves a long pink carpet in the middle leading up to the stage. The stage that holds three things, a boombox, Sweetheart and.. Funneh!!
Funneh cries silently on a chair, the poor girl is strapped to it as Sweetheart continues singing.. a song you don't know. A song you don't wish to know. "STOP- please.. this is torture.. THIS IS TORTURE" ..Is that what she meant by being tortured? You get nudged a bit, "..Eclipse that's no cat.." Rainbow exclaims, covering her mouth as she tries not to laugh. You stare at her confused, you didn't see any.. you look away in hopes to not burst out laughing.
Suddenly the horrendous music stops, "WAIT GUYS- YOU'RE HERE!! YOU'VE COME TO SAVE ME" Funneh yells, tears in her eyes. All eyes turn towards the three of you, "oh what's this? Oh look! It's her hater buddies!!" Sweetheart exclaims, as she laughs annoyingly. "Sweetheart! Stop torturing my friend at once!!" Gold exclaims, still not taking the hint that there was no actual torturing involved.. yet. Gold pulls off her mask, revealing her face to everyone. Gasps fill the air.
Well.. she did it, why shouldn't you do too? You pull off your mask, revealing your face. More gasps. Rainbow looks around, what the heck is she supposed to do. "Aw, that's so sweet of you! Caring for your friend.. well news flash peasant!" She spits, "this isn't torturing.. THIS IS!" Sweetheart exclaims, as she pulls out a remote from her suits (Ew she hasn't changed from her attire earlier yet eeewww) pocket. She clicks it, after a second, Funneh's chair immediately lifts up- tilting her upside down.
"WOAH- WOAH HEY!!" Funneh yells, trying to move around, but to no avail. Sweetheart presses another button on the remote, revealing a large pool of green water underneath her. "Now! As you can see everyone! This is what happens when you hate the amazing beautiful Sweetheart- so no hating everyone" she turns towards Funneh, "this girl is now in danger, the longer you take, the closer she'll get to the tub of ACID" .. ACID?!?!?
"The.. the longer we take? What do you want? We'll give you anything, just.. don't do anything to her!" Rainbow exclaims, eyeing her friend in concern. "I would like you three to rot in prison obviously just- wait who the heck are you??" She asks, turning to Rainbow. She looks at Rainbow, then to Rainbow's vest, then to herself again.
..
"..You.. COPYCAT" Rainbow flinches at the sudden mood change.
"You think that little ribbon will make you look as good as me? Sweetheart? THE Sweetheart?!? Hah!! Just go take a nap.. and keep dreaming!!" The sprout moles laugh, as Rainbow looks around in confusion. "I.. don't understand-" "AND OH MY GOD I JUST NOTICED.. YOU HAVE PINK HAIR. UGH YOU REALLY ARE A COPYCAT!!" She yells, "PINK HAIR LOOKS BAD ON YOU ANYWAY, MINE LOOKS OBVIOUSLY BETTER ON ME" Rainbow surprisingly seemed pretty hurt by this, as she looks at a strand of her hair. "ITS DUMB, YOU'RE DUMB, ANYONE WHO TRIES TO COPY THE SWEETHEART IS DUMB" the sprout moles in the crowd agrees with this. "Hey!! Stop saying that!! You meanie!!" Funneh yells from afar, but all she gets is backlash.
..
".. hey.. she just called my hair dumb.." Rainbow pouts, she turns towards you with a. Sad face. She is sad. She's hurt by those mean words that SHE said. You turn back towards the pink haired freak as you grind your teeth in anger, reaching for something in your back pocket. Funneh's still yelling, Gold is looking at you. She knows what you're going to do, and she's ready, she's gripping her bat tightly. You glare at Sweetheart. How dare she say that about your sister.
Heck, Yknow Sweetheart, your hair is stupid, twin tails look horrible on you. Go bald.
Sweetheart turns to you.
That ribbon looks stupid on you, you could wear a trash bag and nobody would bat an eye.
You grip onto your knife. She looks very offended.
I'll fucking kill you.
You sprint towards her, stabbing the knife into her arm. She yells in shock as Gold swings her bat, sadly Sweetheart avoids it. "Oh.. Okay! I see how it is! Go on, let's play your little game" she exclaims, excited as she pulls out a pink mace, the spiky ball replaced with a spiky heart instead. You don't mind this at all. You'll kill her.
"ECLIPSE-"
"FAREWELL MISERABLE PEONS, I'LL SEND YOU TO THE DUNGEONS.. PERMANENTLY!!!" She yells, lunging towards you. She misses.. but she did hit an innocent bystander instead. The sprout mole falls to the ground, as the other scramble to the exits, afraid. "Sweetheart!! You can do it!!" A sprout mole yells, somehow..
She swings her mace towards you again, she misses AGAIN. You glare at her, as you kick her right in the chin. Doing this makes her drop the remote that controls Funneh's chair, Gold notices this and kicks the remote away from Sweethearts reach.. towards Rainbow. "Aw guys- come on, I'm okay you don't have to.." Rainbow sighs, she knows they won't listen to her.. specifically you.
"OHOHOHOHO!! HOW FUN! SAY HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF MY ABILITY TO COOK??!" She exclaims randomly, catching Gold off guard.
".. huh?!?" "IT MAY SEEM LIKE I CAN NEVER COOK BUT THE TRUTH IS I'M JUST REALLY GOOD, EVEN THE PROFESSIONAL CHEFS CRY TEARS OF JOY WHENEVER THEY TASTE THEM!!" She boasts, Gold stares in confusion over the random fact-
*BAMM
Gold falls to the ground, hurt. Sweetheart laughs annoyingly, she just hit Gold with that.. Ugh that stupid sly.. ugh shit. She ducks to dodge her next attack, you jump onto her. Climbing onto her shoulders, you hold the knife over her eyes.
You have no taste. What's the point of having eyes if all you do criticise other people?
"HEY!!" A voice exclaims in a playful manner, shoving Sweetheart, shoving you aswell. You manage to stab her shoulder though before falling to the ground, you stare annoyingly at whoever just ruined your attack. The girl with blue eyes stare at you, craking her knuckles.
"I'm back!!" Funneh exclaims, ecstatic as she kicks Sweetheart in the stomach. "UGH you little.. how did.." she glances at Rainbow, who was holding the remote- she gives a smile, one that says 'I'm so sorry for them'. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT" Sweetheart exclaims, trying to walk towards Rainbow. Gold appears in front of her and smacks her in the face with her bat, with how much force she used, she could've sent a baseball flying out the field.
"You.. DARE TOUCH MY FACE??!? FOOLS! YOU SHOULD'VE JUST GROVELLED ON YOUR KNEES WHEN I FIRST STARTED GETTING ANGRY!" She yells, taking her attention off Rainbow and towards Gold. She swings her mace, missing Gold and hitting Funneh instead. "OWww RAINBOW SHE HIT ME!!" Funneh whines, as Rainbow just stands there- still unable to take in the situation.
"..Oh wait! Funneh eat this" Rainbow exclaims, as she throws one of those cold tofu she bought towards her. Funneh catches it and eats in one gulp, immediately her injuries dissapear as she thanks Rainbow with a thumbs up and toothy grin. "Tsk! Still standing! Well.. I guess cockroaches are resilient, I suppose!" She says. She says
Nyeh nyeh cockroaches are resilient, I suppose nyeh nyeh
Honestly as you expected, Sweetheart gets mad at your mocks and hits you with her mace sending you flying to the end of the room. Her hits weren't that hard earlier, this means she's using 100% of her power now. She must really hate you.. hm wonder why.
You get up and notice you were leaning on the tub of acid.. an idea pops into your head, as you turn towards Sweetheart. She was beating up Gold, as Funneh was on her shoulders, head butting Sweetheart as Rainbow just kinda stood in the background holding her tofu bag as if she was about to start feeding birds with it. A lot is happening as you can see.
Gold gets off the ground and dodges an attack, she glances towards you, who was sitting on the tub. You point towards the acid and as you thought, she immediately understood.
"Ooh oh, I'm Sweetheart and I just can't stand when somebody is more beautiful than me so I have to criticise them publicly and make fun of them to make me feel better about myself" Gold mocks, Sweetheart looks at her mad. "OH YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS.. COCKROACH" She yells, as Funneh laughs.
"AND YOU.. GET OFF!" She exclaims, as she shoves Funneh off her shoulders and (in midair) slams her with her mace. Immediately a puff of smoke appears as Funneh disappears.. leaving a piece of toast on the floor. Sweetheart stares at this in confusion, "..they turn to toast when they die? Haha..ha..oh.. OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!!!" Oh my god.
She laughs, as she kicks the toast towards Rainbow, who stares horrified. "Guess I'll be having toast and jam for tea time!" She exclaims, as she charges towards you and Gold- happy that she got one kid out. "Uh.. Eclipse???" Gold asks, turning towards you. Both of stand in front of the tub of acid, you're sitting on it while Gold was just leaning.
You give her a thumbs up with empty face. She can totally understand, she should. And of course she does, as she mumbles an okay. She stands still as she awaits the ecstatic Sweetheart to reach her. Sweetheart swings her mace behind, ready to attack.
Now!
Just as Sweetheart gets close, Gold bends down, missing the attack and tripping Sweetheart. She catches herself on the tub, "oh that little..-" before she could glance behind, you channel all your anger and push her head into the acid! She screams, as you use your legs to push her entire body in the substance. "WAIT ECLIPSE OH MY GOD!!" Rainbow yells, she runs towards the two of you, as she holds Funneh in her hands.. well the toast form at least.
Rainbow pulls you from the tub, as she holds you tightly.. in a way to stop you from fighting? Rainbow's always like this.. she should stand up for herself, that's what she deserves and that's what Sweetheart deserves. "Guys stop! She's gonna die.." she exclaims, scared to look in the tub. Who knows why horrific thing Sweetheart has become? You'd like to see it though, who's laughing now? Haha dumb bitch.
You get hit in the head, you turn towards Rainbow, confused as you hold your head in pain. "..Don't swear, Eclipse. It's bad" ...you were? ..oh. Rainbow sighs, tired. She looks at the piece of toast in her hands, she doesn't know what to do with it. She tried feeding in cold tofu but it's a piece of bread, how the heck is it supposed to eat it?
You take out the sample of Life Jam™ you received from the weird Life Jam guy from yesterday as you spread the jam on the toast. Suddenly a poof of smoke appears again, revealing a fully healed Funneh. "Heh? What happened?" She mutters, as she gets embraced by Rainbow.
"OH WAIT!" The annoying voice exclaims, as a silhouette bursts from the acid. What- huh?!? You step back, in shock. No way.. she didn't die?!? In fact, her appearance didn't change! It was just wet.. but she wasn't bleeding or screaming or shouting or anything!! You glance towards Rainbow.. I guess thank goodness.
Sweetheart looks at the acid, her body, then towards the four of you. "This isn't acid!" She exclaims, just as shocked as you all are. "This is.. apple juice!" She exclaims, your friends and sister gasp in shock as you just stand there in confusion. "I.. thought I told them to fill the tub with ACID not APPLE JUICE.. UGH SOMEONE'S GETTING FIRED LATER.." she yells the last sentence, for the targeted sprout moles to hear.
"I don't even like apple juice.. ugh" she suddenly remembers her situation, as she turns towards the four of you. "How is she.. oh.. OH YOU" She jumps out the tub as she immediately walks towards you, you step back as you try to maintain the gap between you and her. "You thought you were so funny when making fun of me on stage earlier huh? Killing those VIP's so you could make fun of me on stage.. then you dare hurt me! And try to kill me!?" She exclaims, the more she talks, the more angry she gets.
You would've pulled out your knife and stab her in the throat by now.. but Rainbow's watching.. even though you were just able to almost kill her earlier.. for some reason you feel.. unable to. You feel bad. That's weird. For her?? Sweetheart?!?! That's not cool.
"I hereby sentence you.. to a DEATH SENTENCE!" She exclaims, gripping your neck. You drop your knife in shock, as you immediately try to pry her icky big hands off you. "ECLIPSE!" You could hear Funneh yell, as they all try to run towards you. But sprout mole guards immediately stops them, "Fun fact kid.. you're the first person to gain an immediate death sentence by the Sweetheart! Aren't you proud?" She asks you, oh that's pretty cool actually. Maybe you can put that in one of your reasons for 'Please don't kill me'
"I'm going to make you wish you never set foot in this palace again!"
"ECLIPSE!! YOU- GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER!!" You could hear Rainbow yell, this makes you mad. You want to pick up your knife, but it's on the floor.. you have no way to obtain it. You can't die here.. that's not possible. What happens when you die? Do you turn into toast too? But don't you hold the Life Jam™? What if it disappears when you die? You won't respawn, how.. your vision starts getting blurry, that's weird. Are you haha actually gonna die though? You can't die.. this is all a-
..
*CRASH
..? The hands on you loosen, probably from confusion. This gives you the chance to turn around. The roof was completely gone, crashed down. Bits of the roof and dust are all over the floor, and a big piece of the roof too! Or is that a rock? That looks like a moon rock actually- did a meteor hit the castle?
A sound comes out from the moon rock as a door opens.. from the rock. That is not a rock.. you squint your eyes to better view the.. ship, it's a Cresent. That's no rock, it's a spaceship! The ship was a light yellow, the door that just appeared glowed a bright yellow. A figure steps out from the ship, the figures back turned towards you. As he looks at the damage he did.
"....Um.. let's ignore that, I'll pay for the damages" The familiar male voice exclaims, as he turns towards you. The pink haired man turns towards you, a bouquet in his hand. Oh my god, it's Captain Spaceboy.
"Hm? Hey! What're you guys doing here??" He asks, excited upon noticing you and your friends. "You.. YOU IDIOT" She exclaims, pushing you to the ground. Yay you're free- your first breath of freedom was cut short with a foot shoved immediately to your face, holding you still on the dirty dusty floor. "I thought I told you never to show your face here ever again?!?" She yells, Captain Spaceboy was glancing between you and Sweetheart.
"Hey.. let's not kick the kid, alright?" "I'll kick the kid if I want to kick the kid! Now you- what're are you doing here!?" She asks, flustered. You notice your knife far away from you, it was at Captain Spaceboy's feet.. if you could just.. tell him to kick the knife to you.. that would be great..
"Ow! Ugh you kids give me so much trouble!" She yells, tripping, setting you free. Somebody immediately picks you up by your shirt, sorta like how a baby cat is held by their mom. You hover over the ground as you turn towards Rainbow.. you can barely see her face, but she was glaring straight at Sweetheart. She grinds her teeth.. sorta like how you do it but it was louder, doesn't her teeth hurt??. She seemed more mad than you when.. in fact, she didn't just seemed furious.. she looked enraged. A chill goes down your spine upon noticing this, Rainbow never gets mad. The last time she got mad.. it was because someone was bullying Funneh.. she made that bully cry until they threw up.
"Oh Sweetheart, my Sweetheart! My sweet jelly filled donut!" You gag. "What are you doing? This isn't how a duchess is supposed to treat her guests!" He exclaims, as Sweetheart stares in both confusion and irritation. "Don't tell me what to do alien boy- they tried to drown me! What are you even doing here?!?" Sweetheart asks, repeating her question for the third time.
"Well.. I doubt they did it for a bad reason! I know these kids, they're really nice!" Oh? He praised you.. you turn towards Gold and Funneh, who both looked equally happy about the praise. "Well.. ugh- YOU WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE" Sweetheart yells, haha repeating her question for the fourth time.
"Oh Sweetheart, please.. look into your heart and give me one more chance!! I've missed you, I missed you so!" He exclaims, kneeling down and handing his bouquet to her. "..what?!? What are you doing??!?" She yells, flustered. Rainbow sets you down, as she pushes you back to your friends.. her eyes never once off Sweetheart.
"Oh Sweetheart, please! Give me another chance to make up for everything I've done! I love you!!" He exclaims, oh no. Sweetheart takes a while to reply, as you notice that the sprout moles have started to gather back. They all look in anticipation.
"..Oh my, this is all so.. sudden!" She exclaims, Captain Spaceboy's smile falters.. was she going to deny him?
"..This is all.. so..
So..
So.......
ROMANTIC!!!"
She exclaims, her hands covering her mouth. "You're so sweet! Oh I missed you too my lovely blue sugar pie!!!!" You gag again. She takes the bouquet from his hands, as Captain Spaceboy stands up, a goofy smile on his face. And ohno they kissed. Horrific. Horrible. What person beats up a bunch of kids then gets a boyfriend when you, the victim, gets no bi.. Hm.. you turn towards Rainbow, who stares at the couple in confusion, however the expression of anger had yet to wash off her face..
Gold can't help but smile at them, while Funneh looks horrified. Traumatized even. "..maybe.. we should..go??" Rainbow suggests, immediately both you and Funneh agrees with her and runs off, as Gold gets dragged by the arm by Funneh.
You didn't expect the plot twist honestly.. how romantic, well.. if Captain Spaceboy loves her, despite how ugly she is, there's nothing you can do about it. If they break up though, you immediately have a reason to beat her up right? You'll make sure she dies next time before celebrating.
