☆ Control ☆ (COMPLETED)

146: Those who carried on.

The group perked up as the sound of walking grew close, spotting Liy approaching the group with Coiny side by side. The two seemed sullen, the mood was extremely low all around. Golfball squinted up at the pair, wanting to ask Liu questions about what she had meant earlier.

Liy had been screaming at Four about something they did to her.. and.. Four knew what she was talking about? What had happened? Gb felt like right now wasn't the right time to get skeptical though, keeping her mouth shut as Coiny cleared his throat.

"Uh.. we're gonna.. dispose of Clocks body. Say some things, you know." Coiny muttered distantly, his eyes drifting aside to avoid eyecontact. "Does.. anyone wanna come?"

"Does Blocky know..?" Pen gently asked, questioning in concern for his friend. Coiny gave a short nod, rubbing his arm. "..Um, yeah. He uh, is there ..now. He wanted to do it alone so.. we left for a bit." Coiny shared, Liy talking instead.

"I'll stay here." Liy mumbled, going to proceed to sit down crossed legged on the grass. "It's ..probably best if I do."

Eraser stood, shaking his head. "I'll..I'll go. Pen, can you come with me..?" He weakly requested down at his friend, looking worn. Golfballs gaze fell quickly in guilt.. it hadn't occurred to her before, but she realised that Eraser was now the only prisoner alive. The other two had.. died. She couldn't imagine how that must have felt.

"I..I will bud!" Pen forced a weak smile, lifting himself up to support his friend. Basketball stood too, nudging Snowball gently with her leg. "Uh, Snowball..? Do you want to come as well?" She offered.

"Yeah." He grumbled, standing wobbly. He was on a crutch again, using it to help keep himself up, slow. Lightning fidgeted, not saying anything as his gaze was glued to the ground. He could feel Blackhole hovering behind him, who too hadn't said much either after the whole thing.

The two hadn't been there when all of this happened.. which was ..frustating because they were some of the most powerful. Well, Blackhole was the strongest here. If only he had been there sooner.

"I'm gonna go, too." Firey forced himself to say, standing from inbetween Shampoo and Stapy. Shampoo gave a weak wave, looking up at him softly. Firey waved back, managing a brisk smile before joining Coinys side. Shampoo sunk back down, resting his hand on Stapys head, who was resting with his eyes shut.

Lollipop and Gelatin went to go with them as well, followed by Jr since he felt pretty bad about the whole thing. The small group then departed in silence, leaving the other group to ponder at the fire.

What could they even do now.. they.. weren't Fours side anymore. Both were bad.. now they were just their own side. They were victims of both Four and Two. This.. wasn't fair. Things weren't supposed to be this way. They were on track to win, they were on track to.. finally putting a stop to all of this. But now it felt like that was a hopeless dream.

The group left a heavy silence after they departed, the only sounds being the soft crackling and snapping of the fire in the centre of them all. Shampoos eyes drifted over to the flames, his expression tired.. he was frustrated, but.. he didn't even know how to show it. Four had just..used all of them.

"I.. just.. don't understand.." Golfball began while staring into the fire, a few heads turning her way. Her voice was soft, it barely making it to the others. "Why would.. Four give his powers to Donut if.. they were just going to take them away again anyways. Surely that means that .. he was planning on eventually killing Donut, right?" She speculated.

"Mm... I..I guess you're right." Gaty mused, exhaling a long sigh. "Four couldn't take them from Firey unless he was dead ..so.. that would've probably been the case with Donut, too.."
