The War Inside

Flippy's grip tightened, and Splendid lowered his gaze. No... something isn't right. His grip is too tight. It's ripping Splendid's jacket. Splendid broke free of Flippy's grip and Flippy laughed. He grinned, his yellow eyes shining. "Y-You again!?" Splendid hissed. "Why are you back!?" 

"Why? Because you don't seem to learn, hero. I thought I told you that I was in control and yet... here you are. Saving Flippy once again," he said, shrugging his shoulders. Splendid gritted his teeth together. "You were the one that told him to take that bottle!" he hissed. Fliqpy giggled. "But of course~! If he won't give me full control and won't be with me forever... Why not just kill him?! We can be together in the afterlife, living in hell together!" he laughed. He flashed his toothy grin. "And you are just getting in my way. I went easy on you last time. This time... I'll be sure to make sure you stay dead."

Fliqpy grabbed Splendid by the jacket, throwing him into the wall. The wall caved in and before Splendid could even figure out what he had landed on, Fliqpy grabbed the back of his head and slammed it into the floor. Splendid hissed in pain, blood already flowing from his nose and lip. Fliqpy whipped Splendid around into the hallway. Splendid coughed a little, standing up. He frowned as he saw Fliqpy just standing there. He took the opportunity to pin Fliqpy to the floor. Fliqpy's face was frozen in a grin. "Oh? You gonna kill me super hero? If you do that, you'll kill Flippy too. Either way, I win," he laughed. Splendid stopped himself from breaking Fliqpy's ribs. He's right... there's no way I can win this... I can either give up and let him kill me... Or kill him and Flippy in the process... I can't hurt Flippy anymore. What do I do!? 

Fliqpy giggled, watching Splendid struggle. "The poor hero was never faced with such a burden before! His stubbornness won't allow him to lose but he can't hurt my Flippy!" Fliqpy laughed. He broke free of Splendid's grip and stood up. Splendid frowned. "Why is he just yours!? Why can't you just share him!? He's his own person, not some damn toy for you to fuck with!" Splendid shouted. Fliqpy frowned suddenly, the aura around him suddenly turning darker. "Because the last time I shared him... bad things happened. Very bad things," Fliqpy said lowly. Splendid recoiled a little, feeling his stomach drop. "W-What was so bad that you decided that he was yours only?" Splendid said a little lower. 

Fliqpy's eyes dulled, as if he was dazed. "Flippy is naive. He always has been. That's his weakness. Let's everyone who is nice to him in. He put all of his trust into his Sargent and wouldn't listen to a word I said. I tried to warn him about that man, but he told me that I was just mad at him because he was better than me. I became so frustrated with him, so angry that he wouldn't take my word... The one fucking time I tried to help him, he threw me aside. So.. I let him go. Let him follow his Sargent like a dog. Watched him go through war by himself, watched him destroy his own friends in a plan that went wrong from the get-go. And that's when that sick fuck's plan unraveled. He wanted Flippy to kill his friends, tricked him into it. Brought Flippy closer to him, too close. He tried to make Flippy his, only his. Wanted to make him more than just a pawn in the game of war. He made Flippy push everyone away and when he tried to..." Fliqpy's eyes suddenly shone with hatred. 

He frowned, slamming his fist into the wall, creating a hole. He panted softly and a low growl came from him. "...He tried to mark my Flippy. Tried to make him his! I wouldn't allow such a damn thing! He forced himself onto my Flippy! But I stopped him.. Blinded him, made sure to mark him myself. Sargent won't ever come near me or my Flippy again. He allowed us to scramble to safety here... here in this fucked up town! He sent his little pawns to try and kill us; kill me. But he's failed every time. And since then, Flippy will always be mine! I won't allow him to go through what he had to go through with his damned Sargent ever again! I'll make sure every last one of them is dead beyond recognition! And that includes you, Splendid." A low giggle resonated from Fliqpy. 

Splendid felt the blood drain from his face. What the hell has Flippy gone through!? "Cat got your tongue? Don't worry, I'll be taking it from you soon enough," Fliqpy laughed, stepping towards the hero. The blue haired man scrambled to stand up. "Fliqpy, please stop! L-Let me help you!" he stuttered, stepping back. Fliqpy titled his head. "Didn't you hear Flippy? He said we don't need it. You are not our hero," the green veteran replied. "I-I'm not trying to be your hero, I just want to help! I know you're holding in a lot of anger and a grudge against that man, but that shouldn't keep Flippy from enjoying his own life! I know you're just trying to protect him but you're ruining his life!" Splendid argued. Fliqpy grinned brightly. 

"You're damn right I'm ruining his life. He'll never have to worry about another person hurting him again!" Fliqpy said, suddenly pouncing on Splendid. They crashed into the floor and Splendid felt a sharp pain his head. "Y-You have to accept what happened and move on! You can't keep doing this!" Splendid hissed, trying to pry the monster off him. He's lost so much weight and strength... how the hell is he still so strong!? He's like a stick! He should be weakened! "I have accepted that his Sargent is a piece of shit and that will never happen again as long as I am within Flippy!" Fliqpy yelled, slamming Splendid's head into the floor. "You can't have my Flippy! I won't share him anymore! He's mine!" 

Splendid panted a little, grabbing Fliqpy by the back of his shirt and throwing him into the wall. He pinned both arms above him. "That's enough, Fliqpy! I can't keep fighting you over Flippy! Either we talk about this or-"

"Or what?"

Splendid shut his mouth. Shit. Or what? He just leaves Flippy, making everything he thought true? Making him a hypocrite? Hurting Flippy again? Potentially killing the both of them? 

Fliqpy laughed. "That's what I thought! You won't do shit because you're weak!" 

"That's not it! I refuse to hurt Flippy again! Not after all the shit you've put us through!" 

The yellow eyed monster frowned. "You're pissing me off with this nonsense, Splendid. I'm getting tired of these damn games you play. Why can't you just go away already! No matter what I do or say, you just keep coming back like a damn fly! Why can't you just leave me alone already!" he screamed. 

Why? 

"That's easy, Fliqpy. I've realized that I can't come between you and Flippy. I can't take Flippy away from you. You two are a package; you come together. If I want to be with Flippy, I'm going to have to be with you as well. And, well, I'm okay with that now. I've accepted that I can't change your views. I can't change what happened to you two. But I can change how I react to your outbursts."

Fliqpy's frown turned to a blank stare. What the fuck is he doing!? You can't change the rules in my game! I'm supposed to win! Not you! This isn't fair! Flippy is mine! Only mine! You can't have him! You can't, you can't, you can't! You aren't supposed to win! You're supposed to be at my feet, begging for mercy! Everything is going all wrong! This isn't right! How is he doing this?! He can't be doing this! Fucking with my mind like this! You're supposed to be DEAD. WhY aRen'T yOu dEAd yEt!? 

Splendid smiled softly. "Cat got your tongue? Don't worry, I'll be taking it from you soon enough," Splendid said as he titled his head. 

Fliqpy's eyes widen as Splendid pressed his lips against his own.
