"I will take you to my WORLD." "And I'll leave you WITHOUT WORD." "Can't you see?" "(Y/N) is nothing for me." (Y/N Pov) "(Y/N)! You alright?" Scout came over to me as I heard stomps getting near

"I'm fine... Don't you talk to W, ever... She just left behind her grunts like that..." I got up, still dazed as I slowly got on my feet

"Come on, we still have another problem on our way."

"I know... Urgh."

"HWAAAAA!!"

A male Operator screamed as the monster stood with his iron arm ready to maim him.

"Ah, shit!" I quickly get my bearings and ran toward the Monster-

GRAAAGH!

CLACK!

Puncturing its chest, I completely stopped its massive hands from falling onto the poor man's head. "Out of my way. You big tall bastard!"

I grasped my arm to control the chains, flinging the monster away, and sending it a few feet back. Should've used my chains instead of running here!

"You okay?"

He nodded whilst shaking heavily.

"Don't worry, you can go back now."

I conjured another chain in my palm, holding it firmly.

'Best I could do is buy time for the others... Maybe.'

The male operator ran back toward the group, the monster still on the ground as it shook.

HUMMM

A loud hum emitted from the monster's back. It slowly got back up on its feet, breathing heavily and looking at me.

'...It wants me.'

'And that's great! NOT!'

It walked toward me, its eyes locked onto me.

ROOOAAGH!

Disgusting!

I quickly used my chains to throw my chains around its body, it quickly slithered around its body-

"Ngh!"

It didn't work?! My chains!

I tried to make them tighter, noticeable black spikes were starting to grow out of my chains again, the same thing that happened earlier.

It bled, and my hands too. But it did not stop thrashing as it walked faster-

FWOOM!

HARGH!

A black projectile strikes its head, staggering the grotesque monster in its tracks,

"(Y/N)!" Amiya ran behind me, conjuring a black orb in her hand.

"Amiya!" That's a relief!

"You think you could distract this thing a bit? I want to try something VERY risky." I asked her in a hurry, my chains starting to distort, for some reason.

"Better not do something stupid, (Y/N)." Dobermann arrived beside me, she whipped the ground preparing for battle.

"I won't! Not sure if it will work." I slammed the ground with my palm, the chains embedded in the ground firmly,

"Sorry!"

"Huh?!"

I ran past the monster to the building, rushing in as I started to walk upstairs.

'Come on, you're not going anywhere.'

"(Y/N)!? What are you doing! Stop!"

RAAGH!

I ignored Dobermann's plead, the building shook as loud stomps were heard below me.

'Yep, he's after me.'

I am pretty sure I could pass out anytime now, but this is different. With the power of origumai- No, Originium. I can at least not die yet, I hope.

"How many stairs?! Goddamnit!" I started to sweat, adrenaline rushing faster in me.

RRRRGH!

'Urk! Gross- I might vomit if this keeps up...'

Arriving at another floor, I finally saw the hole W exploded on the rooftop, I must be close.

SLAM!

Knocking down the door, I was greeted with a bright light as the sun started to go down,

"MONEY, YOU BITCH! WHERE ARE YOU!?" I frantically looked around, trying my best to spot him-

Ssshhhh.

"Right here, boy." A whisper came from behind.

CLICK!

I felt a sudden pain from the back of my head that caught me off, my legs went numb as I was pushed into the hole.

"Argh!"

No, this is worse. IT was waiting for me from below.

NRRRGH...

I did NOT want to deal with another one.

Panicking, I quickly mustered all of my energy for another chain to grab me onto the ledge, flinging me back up as I landed on the other side of the hole before falling first on my butt.

And there I was, having a stare down between him, who seemed to not panic in the slightest.

"...I'm quite impressed. You seemed to have grown quite a lot."

"Shut your mouth, I am not listening to your talks." I wiped the sweat off as I shakily stood up.

He chuckled, "Hah... Alright then."

'Huh..?'

'Shit, he's running away- No, come back here!'

I leaped to the other side and started chasing him, it wasn't an easy one since I had to spend more energy on Originium. And they said the more I use it the worse my condition will be.

"COME BACK HERE!"

He leaped smoothly to another building as he resumed running, and I did the same.

This continues until he leaped down toward an alleyway, his goggles still emanating a yellow glow.

I grappled down with chains as I keep running, I could feel my body going numb again, but I'm not giving up nonetheless.

This alleyway... is just wrong, dead bodies were littered everywhere in this alleyway. Their torso split open as their organs spill out horribly.

Is this his doing? If so, then what goal does he have? What does he want from me?

"I see you've noticed the people I have met here." He stated, stopping on the street ahead.

"Isn't it wonderful? How such an innocent soul could be manipulated easily?"

...

"Childrens... Adults... I've killed more than you could think of back in that prison of mine."

"Shut up..."

"Oh, your friends too."

"Shut the HELL UP!"

CRACKLE!

Chains burst around him as they quickly wrapped around his body

I did not hesitate and dashed madly to him, I reeled my fist back.

"THIS. Is for what you've done to me."

BAM!

?!

My fist connected to his mask, but it did nothing and-

"Hm. So you are still alive." A familiar female voice mumbled behind me.

Wha-

SCHINK!

GAH!

An iron sword impaled my stomach, my insides feel like it's burning now...

It hurts, really hurts.

"Talulah, is this the boy you wanted?"

"Yes. Thank you for your work, Plague."

Plague..? Is that his code name..? U-Urk...

My body suddenly felt powerless, I stood shakily as I grabbed the sword, trying effortlessly to get it out.

The chains I used to tie him up dusted away, he wiped his clothes as he walked beside me,

"I suppose my work is done here? Although, I still want to have a word with him."

"You are good to go, Plague. Stay if you want." She twisted the sword inside me and kicked me from behind,

"You caused me trouble enough, (Y/N)."

Blood gushed out of my wound, I fell face-first to the ground as I breathed heavily,

"H-Hurk..! Shit, shit, shit..." I mumbled to myself, turning around shakily trying to get back up.

And there she is, Talulah. Looking down at me with a glare that WOULD kill me.

NOT a good place to be. I have to run... Oh God, oh God...

"You useless waste of space. I would make everyone happy if I killed you now." She stated, lifting her hands up, and a fireball formed.

!

Gah!

I panicked as I covered my entire area with chains.

BWOOSH!

A direct hit, my chains seem to hold off for a bit- that's great..!

"O-Okay, h-hargh..." I clenched my chest, my heart was aching in pain. It's happening...

Drip.

My nose started to bleed, my vision began to grow dark.

No... No no...

"hurh..."

Talulah started talking again, but it was muffled to me. I could hear my heartbeat more.

I looked up again, staring at Talulah who was talking to Mr. Money beside her.

Not long after, I passed out...

...g-great... (Author Pov)

...

"Fine, you may do as you wish." Talulah told Mr. Money, now named 'Plague'

"Thank you." He bowed down to her, Talulah only scoffed and turned around, walking away,

"Hurry up."

He nodded, picking up the unconscious (Y/N) like an empty duffle bag.

Growl...

"My child, come. Follow father home." Plague said, waving his hand to the monster that just arrived.

It seemed to nod and follow his orders, which got a laugh from Plague as he patted its head.

Soon, they walked back toward their group, walking down the charred, dead streets.

But unbeknownst to Mr. Money, (Y/N)'s stab wound was already repairing itself back together.

Slowly but surely, his body began to repair itself unconsciously. Whether it was intentional or not, his body seems to respond rapidly to wounds.

Meanwhile

"D-Dobermann..." Amiya stuttered as she stood near the helicopter's door.

"I know, Amiya! We cannot wait any longer!"

"He's not back yet! What should we do then!" A heated argument started between Dobermann and Amiya as they were about to leave.

"Doc... You should decide." Scout poked Doctor off of her daze

"A-Ah..! Uhm..." She looked over the rest of the operators, they were all hurt and exhausted.

"I'm... Not sure, Scout..." She fidgeted with her fingers, her mind conflicting with the thought of leaving behind one new Operator.

"Amiya! Catastrophe is gonna hit again! We should hurry up!" The Pilot exclaimed

"..."

"Amiya... I don't think he made it out alive.." Dobermann said to her, patting her shoulder.

"...I understand. We should leave, then."

"Alright... You! Start moving!" Dobermann ordered the Pilot

"Yes!" He responded, the Helicopter started to rise off the ground.

Pssshh...

The door slowly closed, and Amiya watched as the city slowly got into view.

'I'm so sorry... (Y/N)...'

Clank!
