Salmonid Three: SPLATOON

One: SPLATOON?

Sixer: SPLATOON

Salmonid Three: Splatoon is a third-person shooter video game franchise created by Hisashi Nogami and Shintaro Sato and developed and owned by Nintendo. Set in the far future on a post-apocalyptic Earth that has been repopulated with evolved marine life, the series centers around a pair of humanoid races that evolved from cephalopods known as Inklings and Octolings — based on squids and octopuses respectively — which can transform between humanoid and cephalopodic forms at will. They frequently engage in turf war battles with each other and use a variety of weapons that produce and shoot ink while in their humanoid forms or swim through and hide in solid surfaces covered in their own ink while in their cephalopodic forms.

Salmonid Three: ITS INFODUMP TIME

Four: Battle for Dream Island, abbreviated as BFDI, was the first season of Battle for Dream Island, first premiering on January 1, 2010, on the YouTube channel jacknjellify. The show takes place in Goiky. The season has 25 episodes. The final episode, Return of the Hang Glider, premiered on January 1, 2012. The season was succeeded by Battle for Dream Island Again, released on June 29, 2012, with the release of "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know".

Four changed their name to BFourDI

BFourDI: GO GO GO GO

Sixer:

A chair is a type of seat, typically designed for one person and consisting of one or more legs, a flat or slightly angled seat and a back-rest. It may be made of wood, metal, or synthetic materials, and may be padded or upholstered in various colors and fabrics.

Chairs vary in design. An armchair has armrests fixed to the seat;^[1] a recliner is upholstered and features a mechanism that lowers the chair's back and raises into place a footrest;^[2] a rocking chair has legs fixed to two long curved slats; and a wheelchair has wheels fixed to an axis under the seat.

One: Six, I think you won this one.

Sixer: hella

Seven Simp: Chair comes from the early 13th-century English word chaere, from Old French chaiere("chair, seat, throne"), from Latin cathedra ("seat").

==The Algebros==

9:01pm

Eankisser: WHERES THE BOOZE

Eankisser: HAS ANYONE FOUND ANY BOOZE

Seven Simp: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM NOW GET OFF THE PHONE

The storage room at the back of Algebra High was buzzing with life.

Whether it was people chatting, cheering or the music blasting, the large previously empty room blasted with youth. Students from the rival schools had gathered, Algebralien and Objectian, United as one to have fun and enjoy life.

”Okay, okay, okay!” Three grinned, handing bottles of beer to One, Five, Six and Seven, leaving it out for Nine, who had to go to the bathroom. “Empty ‘em! Then we can play Spin the Bottle!”

”I thought you were gay.” Six commented, wiping her mouth. The red integer scoffed “We’re genderless, remember? And besides, I’m not dating any of you!”

Seven finished his bottle and slapped it down on the table “Who’s first?”

After a moment of silence, One grabbed the end of the bottle “I’ll do it.”

She span the bottle, and the numbers watched as it went round and round… until it landed on Seven. Both friends let out an ‘eww’ sound.

“God, why did we let Three pick the game…” Five pinched the bridge of her nose as said number cackled “Oh God! Come on you two, pucker up!”

”I hate you, Three.” One sighed, and gave Seven a kiss on the cheek. Three groaned “Ugh! I’ll show you how it’s done!”

He grabbed the bottle and twirled it, watching it swirl and whirl. Until…

It landed on Five.

Six slapped a hand over her mouth to stop her from bursting out laughing, which she was failing to do, Seven sat absolutely flabbergasted, and One smirked as per usual, finally getting her revenge from a few minutes ago “Pucker up, Three!”

The disgusted integers kissed and gagged after, causing Six to finally start laughing and let go of her mouth “Oh my God, you two are pathetic!”

She quickly pulled out her phone and took a picture, intending to send it to the group chat.

10:55pm

Four, X and Two were sitting on a blowup sofa, the first with a can of beer in his hand with around five other cans at his feet, and the latter two having sodas. “So, how’s everyone doing?” Two asked, smiling.

”Gaaaah… shut up…” Four groaned, covering their face with his hand, then immediately falling onto the floor, still holding up the can of beer. X took it from him and put it on the floor, helping him up “You need to be careful, Four! You get so clumsy when you’re drunk…”

“I don’t care!!! I’ve had to CRAM for exams, I need some more beer!!!” Four took another swig from the can, and Two laughed “You’ve been like this ever since we were kids, you know!”

The blue integer death-stared the green, then flopped back against the sofa, hand over his head dramatically “I hate you two, for God’s sake.”

X sighed and pulled him up “I’m gonna take him out for some fresh air, I’ll be right back.” They smiled at Two, who nodded “Okay! I’ll be waiting when you get back — I’ll get him some water too.”

”Thanks, Two!” The yellow variable waved as he left the hall for a little break, leading his boyfriend outside and sitting with him against the wall. He noticed how hot they were, literally. “You’re really warm, you okay? You can have some of my soda if you want.”

”No, I’m fine… just… yeah, I think I need this, yeah.” Their speech slurred, but he managed to grin at X, who now seemed a lot less worried. Four didn’t have the best alcohol tolerance, but it was good to see him calming down “I love you soooo much, X…!”

”I love you too, Four.” X nodded, smiling with him.

1:08AM

God, they felt awful.

Zro paced around the unisex bathroom, feeling their cheeks and just knowing they were bright red without needing to look in the mirror. Their heart was racing and their palms were sweaty.

Why did they come to this stupid party!?

Yeah, they'd had a good time, even had their first drink at the ripe age of fifteen. And then one turned to two, then two to four, then four to… a drunken teenager crying in the bathroom. It was just something that happened apparently. They remembered going to a party with Zero2 and them crying over Coco. It was admittedly kind of pathetic, and that was saying something, Zro was always the pathetic one in their family.

They couldn’t be pathetic anymore.

They took a deep breath and stumbled over to the sink, washing their face and looking in the mirror. Holy shit, they thought, I’m about to text the girl I love.

Yes, confessing over text was the worst way to go about it, but they felt like such a wreck they didn’t dare step foot outside the bathroom, no less face Fifteen… oh, Fifteen!

Zro typed in their password, and felt their stomach twist into knots. God, they wanted to throw their phone at the wall right now in a fit of rage, but they couldn’t, so they settled for kicking the wall instead.

They booted up the Messages app. Their heart was pounding and their phone was slipping out of their hands from how sweaty they were. Oh God, they opened DMs with Fifteen — there was no going back now!

They typed.

And sent.

Chapter Text

The students of Algebra High were all gathered in the assembly hall for some… huge emergency meeting to be hosted personally by Principal Infnity — Six, Four and One’s parent. The crowd was mixed between having absolutely no idea what was going on to having every idea what was going on.

The party.

Five, Six and Seven mumbled to each other, praying it wasn’t what it seemed. “Shit. If I get kicked out of theatre because of this, I’m gonna kill you both.” The first hissed. Six giggled “I hope you do. Seeing you onstage is embarrassing enough.”

Five kicked them in she shin, and she clutched it in pain “Jesus! What the fuck!?”

A row up, One, Two, Three and Four were sitting, the third kicking Five’s chair absentmindedly as the mentioned number scolded him to stop. One was staring into space, and Two was trying to make conversation with Four, and desperately failing.

”So! Wasn’t that party fun?”

”It was less fun because you were there.”

”Oh.”

A few rows down were the Zeroes, all talking to each other and bickering like siblings do as Zro tired to get them to shut it already. Of course, that never worked.

”Will you all shut it!?” They practically demanded, and watched as their siblings fell about laughing “Are you serious, Zero?” Zero2 asked, still giggling.

”You can’t tell us what to do!”

”Yeah!”

”Well— I’m gonna tell Nine!”

”Nine’s gonna do jack shit!”

Speaking of the Zeroes’ older sibling, he was sitting with Eight and Ten, bored. “Uuuuuuuugh, I can’t believe I’m a senior now, I’m sooooo booooooored!” She moaned, head resting in their hands. “Maybe you should have sat with Six and the others, then.” Eight deadpanned, and Nine scoffed.

”I tried, bro!”

”Mhm.”

Before anyone could say anything else, everyone stopped talking as Principal Infinity came out of the curtains, looking grim. They took the mic, and everyone noticed how upset she looked.

”Hello, everyone, and good morning to you.” She spoke, and everyone parroted it back to her like grade schoolers “I’m sorry to start your day with such an awful announcement, but it must be done. I’m sure everyone was aware of the party held in the storage room last night?”

The group chat collectively gulped.

”Not to worry, the integer who hosted the party had permission, so there’s no need for panic. However, we have some rather shocking and disturbing news.” They wiped their eyes “As I’m sure you all know, some Objectians attended the party last night, and one of them… was found dead outside the school.”

The room went dead silent.

”Police have identified the dead Object High student as someone many of you may or may not know, a miss Gaty Fenceworth. If you have any relations to her, I offer you my deepest condolences, and know that the councillor’s office is always open. However… we now know it was one of you students who killed her.”

Gaty? Like, Two’s girlfriend? Everyone was shook. She was kind, sweet, patient. And someone in that hall killed her.

Things were taking a dark, dark turn.

12:04pm

Three rammed against the door to Two and Four’s dorm, finding it locked. “UGH! Two, open this door right now!” He demanded, shouting into the peephole and ignoring how his blazer was sticking to his skin from sweat. Four had taken the only other key, so he had to improvise somehow.

One sighed “Two, it’s us. We know what happened, and we just… want to talk.” She explained, interrupted by Three banging on the door, then falling against it, panting “It’s no use, Two’s not listening…”

The blue-skinned number sat beside the red “I’m gonna text the group chat now, is there anyone they’re close with in there?” Three shrugged “Five, I guess. X, too, but he’s not all that active at all. They have tons of friends, enough to fill up a bucket — but no real close ones other than… well…”

”I’ll just text anyway. Someone’ll get a spare key somehow. Maybe Four has one lying around somewhere.” The red integer suddenly perked up “Wait, aren’t you like — Stalker Supreme? Can’t you pick the lock?”

One must have realised, as she looked towards the lock, and pulled down one of her antennae, wedging the star-shaped end into the lock and beginning to twist. After around a minute, the door unlocked, and she pushed it open.

Oh God, was it a pathetic sight to behold. Two was lying in their bed next to the window, a McDonald’s takeout bag at their side, wearing a pair of white shorts and a green pyjama shirt. Their normally pristine green hair was strewn everywhere. Three had to cover their mouth to stop them from laughing, and failed miserably, almost falling over and cackling obnoxiously.

One quickly punched him and that shut him up. “So, Two… you need to go to classes.” She informed, and Two just rolled over away from her, unresponsive apart from a ‘mm’. Three scoffed “We get it, you’re depressed or whatever the fuck, but can you at least talk to us!? We’re trying to help you, asshole! I get why Four calls you that now.”

The green-skinned number rolled back over, finally looking at the two of them. Dried tear tracks stained their face, and both of the friends shuddered. “It’s been two days, Two. Four says if you don’t get up, he’d gonna get you up himself.” One quoted “Wo for your own sake, get out of bed before I drag you out.”

”…I’m fine. I’m just tired.” Their voice was quiet “Just leave me alone.”

”Oh, fuck no! I’m not taking anymore of this bullshit!” Three shouted, now furious “Get the fuck out of bed, you absolute useless bitch! I don’t care if you miss Gaty — yeah, she was a good person even to me — but it doesn’t give you an excuse to just stay in bed and ghost literally fucking everyone! How pathetic are you! How dare you!?”

Two finally sat up at that, looking rather surprised “Three, I— I’m sorry—“

”And don’t give me any of that ‘sorry’ shit either! I’m sick of it! Fucking sick! I’m sick of you doing this to us, just running away when things get too hard and making us clean what you started! You’re a coward, Two — a coward!” He kept going “And you’re not sorry at all! I hate you! I hate you so damn much!” At this point, he was on the verge of tears.

”Three, stop it.” One hissed, but Three was too blinded by rage to know what right or wrong was “No! I get it, you’re the sensible one, but can’t you see!? Every! Fucking! Time! I hate it! I hate having to clean your fucking shit up! I hate having to act like a leader when some innocent girl got fucking shot! And here you are, not even trying to help us find who killed your girlfriend! Eat shit, Two!”

Three was finally done, now taking deep breaths to stop them from actually getting violent, but… Two was listening. “…I’m so sorry. I get it, I know I just run away and leave you guys, and I’m sorry. I don’t know what to do, I can’t do this without her. I’m sorry, Three. I’m sorry, One.”

”…Just come back to class soon. Everyone’s worried. At least text the group chat if you feel ready. If not, just DM one of us.” One responded, smiling softly. Two nodded “Yeah, thanks guys. I think I just need some sleep.”

Three and One walked out of the dorm, the former still seething.

Chapter Text

One sat in the Vice-President’s office, alone, in the ominous dark, reading over her and Three’s messages again and again. Ignoring the sound of the door opening and closing, only putting her phone down when she saw a tall figure sit opposite her. “Can I help you?” She placed her practiced, saccharine smile on her face.

The figure grinned, what felt like millions of eyes boring into her soul pierced her like daggers “Thank you for all you’ve done for me, little contractor. Miss Fenceworth’s death was… tragic to say the least.” One narrowed her eyes, smile twitching “Too true — having to kill her in the drunken state I was in was much more difficult. Did you only come to congratulate me on that fact?”

The student laughed, like four voices in one, a cacophonous cackle “Of course not. I know how picky you are about me, Miss Integer. I’m just here as I have… new terms.”

”Go on.” One folded her arms neatly on her lap “I’m listening, Mx. Integer.” It giggled “As you always are, Miss Integer.”

“Anyhow, for our newest agreement, I have someone quite… worthless… who is currently the only obstacle obstructing my goals. I would like to ask that you get rid of them.” It smiled all too viciously “I know you understand. How goal-driven we both are, Miss Integer.”

”It’s a deal, as always~! Just sign your name here, please.” One slid the carefully worded contract into its darkened hands. It signed woth a blue fountain pen, and handed her back the contract. “Excellent.”

It got up, and left quickly, humming a merry tune as it went. One scoffed and looked at the name signed on the dotted line of the contract.

2763 (Two-Thousand, Seven Hundred, Sixty Three) Integer.

Zro sat on a bench inside the small park outside of Algebra High, their shirt sticking to their grey skin out of dread, excitement, and nerves. They landed a date with Fifteen! Who liked them back! This was the part where they’d wake up — but no. This was real. A really real situation.

Speaking of Fifteen, she happened to sit down next to them. “Hey.” She said, aloof as ever in a way that made Zro’s heart flutter “O-oh, hey—!” They smiled sheepishly, unable to suppress the red blooming in their cheeks.

“We just gonna hang out here, or?” She looked around at the springtime blossoms, blooming pink and red, the occasional white. Beautiful, of course, not as much as her. “I mean, if you want! I’m good!” God, they were just hanging on her every word at this point!

”I guess we’ll stay here. It’s quiet, secluded, I like it here.” She sighed “The others either worship me like I’m some sort of God or fear me like I’m Satan invading their PG Christian Minecraft server — it’s so annoying. I know you’fe got a crush on me or whatever the hell, but… you’re fine.”

Fine! She said they were fine! Zro wanted to scream from happiness. “Oh, uh, thanks! It’s nice to get away, the others always make fun of me, especially for liking you. ‘You’ve got no chance with her’! ‘She’ll kill you for even standing next to her’!”

”Fucking morons.” Fifteen scoffed “You’ve gotta stand up for yourself, y’know.”

”I know.” They sighed “Enough about me! This is supposed to be about us — I think, I’ve never been on a date before!” They definitely blurted that last part out, amd they just couldm’t stop themselves “Especially not with someone as hot as y— shit.”

They were expecting her to be mad.

But she wasn’t.

She just.

Snickered.

”Like I said, this is the type of shit I like you for.” Fifteen said, a little smile forming on her lips. The first he’d ever seen her express anything other than blatant contempt or annoyance.

The rest of the date was spent in each other’s company, just talking. Neither knew what to do on first dates, but they were happy as they were.

Until.

Fifteen was listening to Zro mumble about the horrendous tapes of them doing dumb things, when suddenly, she heard a horrifically familiar sound.

Gunshots.

Nearby.

Too close.

She immediately saw three bullets go through Zro’s head. Then four. Then five. Then six. Eight by the time she’d managed to find the only weapon she could find in her pocket, a small penknife. She couldn’t exactly bring rifles to school. Tem by the time they’d fell to the ground.

”WHAT THE FUCK!? WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU!?”

But they were gone. And Zro was dying, losing blood, and crying softly. Fifteen didn’t know what to do. She liked them. Loved them, even, but they were dying. She shouldn’t have opened up to them, whoever did this was going to pay.

”Fift— teen… I’m scared, am I dying?— I don’t want— I don’t wanna die…” They spluttered between barely audible sobs, seemingly too tired to even see at this point. And she just watched. She was desensitised to losing people she loved at this point. She couldn’t pretend to be sad that they were going to die.

”What the fuck… who the fuck…” Was all she could mutter “Zro, hold on, I’m calling an ambulance—“

But by the time she’d even opened her phone, the light had drained from his eyes.

She wasn’t sad.

She was angry.

It was all she knew how to be.

Chapter Text

Fifteen, Nine, a cop, and Principal Infinity were all sitting in the principal’s office together, the students sitting adjacent to the desk, and both meeting the gaze of the cop — an Objectian, most likely. Infinity rotated the mug of coffee sitting on their desk, sighing sadly “I’m sure you both know why you’re here. What happened at the park with Mx. Integer was extremely tragic, and we can assume it was simply a freak accident—“

”Ten bullets in the skull isn’t a fucking freak accident.” Fifteen interjected “One? Probably. Two? Maybe. Three? Absolutely fucking not. He was murdered.”

The principal nodded “Yes, that is the most likely explanation, Miss Integer, but you have been proven innocent in the case — and you were the only suspect, so—“

”Oh, just shut up already! If you only brought me here to rub in my face that my partner’s fucking dead, I don’t want to hear it.” She was this close to beating up the closest person to her, which unfortunately, was Nine, metaphorically and literally shaking in their boots.

“Miss Integer, calm down. We’ve still yet to go over the details regarding Zro’s death with Mx. Integer here.” The cop ended up pretty much demanding “We’ve already made plans of what to do with the body, we just need your permission.”

”Uhh, what are you gonna do with them, bro— sir?” Nine asked, pushing her sunglasses up his face as to cover the quite obvious red marks gathering around their eyes. The cop continued “We’ve taken your current budget as your siblings’ only guardian into account, and we've decided it would be best to skip the funeral arrangements and simply just bury them as to not waste any funds.”

“What!? That’s so, SO uncool!” The white integer folded their arms, looking quite pissed. In fact, both of the students were having none of this nonsense whatsoever. Principal Infinity sighed “What the officer here means is, we don’t want to potentially put you in financial jeopardy because of funeral arrangements, Mx. Integer— Nine.”

”Still, teach— uh, Principal, that’s totally uncool! I’ll just ask Five for money, and the Zeroes earn tons from their contests n’ stuff!” Nine added, and the cop glared at them. “The arrangements have already been made, unfortunately. Evidence given by a mysterious sponsor. We ask that you two keep this quiet. You are dismissed.”

And with that, both students left the room.

Potato Sack: WHAT THE pubes JUST HAPPENED

Chapter Text

==DMs: One and 2763==

2763: Hello, Vice President.

One: What do you want now.

One: I’m not killing anyone else. Just so you know.

2763: Calm down. I’m not asking that of you.

One: Then spit it out. I’m not in the mood for new terms, so drop the act.

2763: Alright, alright, if you insist.

2763: You really messed up killing that useless one, you know. 

2763: A direct witness? A panic-shooting? I had to pay your parents and the police to keep quiet.

One: Why do you care if I messed up.

2763: I don’t. I don’t want to get caught is all.

2763: That’s why you’re doing the killing, One.

One: Oh, don’t full name me at a time like this, what do you really want?

2763: Simple.

2763: It’s either you kill Three, or I make you kill yourself.

One: Why would you get rid of me like that?

2763: Because I want you to know how you messed up. And how I can kill you in an instant.

2763: Clock’s ticking, One. I want Three gone by the end of the day after tomorrow.

2763: If you succeed, I’ll give you $100,000.

One: Fine. I’ll humour you a little longer.

Chapter Text

“One! Open the fucking door!” Four banged on said door, body slick with sweat. They knew Three was out, pestering Five, and they knew their sister was inside “One! Get the fuck out here right now, or so help me God!”

The other side was silent, hollow and dull. Four was very tempted to just kick down the door at this point “Open the door, motherfucker. I’m giving you five seconds before I break in myself.”

”Five.” Four stepped back, bracing themselves.

”Four.” The other side was quiet.

”Three.” They tugged on one of their strange sticky-up parts of their hair, a habit.

”Two one!” They burst in, sending the door tumbling down as Four barrelled into the room with sheer strength and willpower. They stood up, dusting themselves off and noting only a few bruises.

The room was dark. Not ‘turn the lights off and draw the blinds in a depressive episode’ type of dark, but pitch black. They pulled out their phone and turned the flashlight on. One wasn’t here.

They were about to leave when—

Something caught their eye. A slip of paper written with shoddy ink scrawled and squirmed under the leg of Three’s bed. Four pulled it  out and smoothed the creased paper, barely able to read the intelligible words.

KILL THREE, OR KILL YOURSELF. IT’S SIMPLE, ONE.

Four’s heart was suddenly in his mouth and he couldn’t say a word. One was— holy shit, One was trying to kill Three!? Her best friend!? That was so… so fucking messed up. Four covered their mouth and put the note back where they found it, when suddenly, from the doorway—

Came a beam of light obstructed by shadow.

One’s silhouette.

Pointing the muzzle of a gun at their head.

Chapter Text

“What did you see.” One’s expression was furious, enraged. She strode into the room, still holding up the gun “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SEE!?” Four had never seen her this angry before, maybe they’d never seen her before.

“I’m not asking, Four. You were always the talkative one — so open your fucking mouth before I drive a bullet into it!” She trembled with rage and thinly veiled fear. “I didn’t find shit! Put the gun down!”

She clenched it tighter “Fucking LIAR! You know I know you better than anyone else, than X, than Six— everyone! So, Four, what did you see? And don’t lie to me.”

“Fine, I saw a note. ‘Kill Three or yourself or some shit like that. Wait— wait wait wait wait wait. You didn’t. You didn’t kill them—“ they were suddenly dumbfounded “You killed them? You! Killed them! Both of them!? Gaty and Zro, and— oh shit, you were gonna kill Three AND me!”

One’s grip on the gun tightened “I’m not gonna shoot, just don’t tell anyone.” She lied, but Four got up and grabbed the muzzle of the gun and tried to rip it from her hands. They tousled and performed their twins’ skirmish. A fight orchestrated as children then performed as teens. Except two lives were on the line.

BANG!

One life now.

One opened her eyes, and saw before her…

Four. Staring at her wide eyed and pale, bleeding from the torso, a bullet hole wedged into their stomach. They collapsed and started coughing violently. One fell to their side, trembling from fear. She’d just shot her twin.

”Fuck— fuck fuck fuck! I— I didn’t mean to shoot.” She lied. She did. She meant to, but she just didn’t understand how upset she’d be when her elder sibling died. Four couldn’t even speak, blood pouring out from their mouth, they just weakly gripped her sleeve. “Please say something, Four. Oh shit, shit… shit… what the fuck…”

But by the time she looked back at him.

He.

was.

dead.

Chapter Text

Placing her saccharine mask on again, One entered the school the next day. Smiling, waving, laughing, meeting with friends. But she saw, her hands were covered in blood. Blood that decorated her sleeves and danced around her hips, spraying onto her cheeks. She was drenched in red.

She wanted to freak out, wash herself until the sponge hurt, but… it wouldn’t come off. She’d tried, and tried, and TRIED TO GET IT OFF. But it wouldn’t. The scarlet stained her cornflower skin. A few years ago, she adored the sight of it, ripping people’s arms and legs off for crossing her, ripping relationships apart for the fun of it, but now? It was disgusting, she felt disgusting.

What did she want? What did she have to gain? The contractor knew the weight of an unfair deal, but… she didn’t even inow if the money her emplyer gave her meant anything to her. But this time…

”One! One, over here!” Three called, his bright grin radiant as the sun. 

Her best friend, her Sun. 2763 told her to kill him, her Sun. The one she’d spent so long proving to be correctly innocent. The one she’d trusted with her life, and he with his. They shared both the sun and moon, twisting Yin and Yang together in balance.

Kill him, or kill herself.

She didn’t want to die. But she couldn’t stand killing anyone else.

”Hey, Three! Sorry I didn’t show up yesterday, I was busy!” She smiled, trying to match his, failing. She was usually so good at mimicking people’s faces, being approachable and sweet. What was wrong now? She knew he knew. He didn’t want to believe it, she knew he knew.

Scarlet hands met, interlocked, before Three dragged her off to class. His hand left no print of blood, unlike hers. She, the guilty, he the innocent. It was like holding the metallic, cold gun again, shooting at Gaty Zro Four another unfortunate victim.

She wouldn’t kill him. It would never know.

Friends have to stand up for each other.

Three opened his tired eyes, noting his mouth covered by a white cloth. He couldn’t see a thing, hear a sound, all was silent, until…

”Hello, Three.”

One.

His Moon.

His closest companion.

”I’m sorry you had to be a part of this.”

Seven Simp: I’m supposed to be hall monitoring but I’ll text Pi to avoid her dorm area

Sixer: thank fuck I love you

Seven Simp: WHAT.

Six weaved her way through the hallways and eventually ended up in front of One and Three’s dorm. She sighed and knocked, tiredly “One, it’s Six, where the fuck is Four.”

No response. She tried again.

”One. Open the door.”

No response.

Silence.

Six tried the door, surprisingly unlocked. She sighed and slowly pushed open the door, turning on her phone’s flashlight and flashing both beds. Empty.

”Fuck. Where’d they…”

She suddenly got a very strange feeling of dread. Six quickly flashed the desk and slowly, slowly lowered the light, until…

Four.

Chin length blue hair matted in blood as a pool of red gathered around his body, his face invisible but surely bleeding out. She screamed and dropped her phone, falling to her knees, unable to speak or even breathe.

Everything was blurred out. He was dead. Four was dead. Four. Dead. It didn’t make sense. Six didn’t even remember what was happening as she passed out.

==DMs: One and Three==

Three: where are you

One: Hi, Three. Ready to talk?

Three: no

Three: you’re gonna kill me

Three: let me go

Vega <3: Two, if you don’t get out of bed, I’m gonna hit you over the head with a moderately sized sink.

Chapter Text

“Well, Three? Are you going to say something?” One’s antenna twitched. She looked like a mess, her usually perfect bob of blue hair messy and her eyes dark and tired. Three struggled against the restraints binding him to the chair in the school’s boiler room “You’re a fucking maniac! Here I was, sticking up for you, not telling anyone about this — and I’m the one you’re tying up!? Fucking bitch!”

”Shut. The fuck. Up.” One uttered, looking HIN dead in the eyes before turning around and picking up a large, sharp kitchen knife “I’ll kill you. I’ll fucking kill you. I’ll kill you! I don’t give a shit if you’re looking out for me — I don’t need your pity! I don’t want your pity! I’ll kill you!”

She clutched the knife and approached, but Three didn’t beg or scream, he just watched “Go on then. Stab me. Do it. Kill me. You know I want it. You know I wanna fucking die, so let me! Let me die! Go on, do it you fucking coward! Or are you too scared!?”

Here I was vision blurred red, like spider lilies, like blood, like flesh and like corpses, fuelled by sin, by Wrath. Both hands wrapped around the knife, prepared to threaten to stab him, when suddenly—

The ropes came undone. He ripped the knife out of her hands and threw it into his chest. Then again, then again as he collapsed to the floor. Three kept going, kept stabbing even as his vision blurred. There was so much blood all over his already crimson hands — matching hers through skin and blood. One watched silently, not protesting, not even trying to see if he was okay, just watching. Just letting him die.

By the time it was over, She wasn’t sad. She was numb. She tore the knife from his bleeding chest and wiped the blood from it, before placing the mangled corpse in a bag nearby. 

One didn’t even know what just happened.

She just slipped out of the boiler room and locked the door.

==DMs: One and 2763==

3:00pm

2763: Well done, I’ve wired the funds as promised.

One: Thank you.

2763: Now, I know the terms we agreed to, but I’m in need of being rid of someone else.

One: What’s the catch? If it’s someone I’m not close with, I’ll consider it.

2763: I want you to get rid of Seven.

One: What.

One: No.

One: That’s my best friend.

2763: You had no problem getting rid of Three, what’s different now?

One: THREE KILLED HIMSELF?

One: And I said that was the last.

2763: Aw.

2763: Shame.

2763: I can just tell everyone, you know.

2763: They’ll know. The reputation you worked so hard to obtain after everything that happened will be gone. It’ll be back to the ‘lying cheating dealmaker who wants nothing but power’.

One: And what happened to you? You were so anti-murder, now you’re treating me like you’re personal hit woman.

2763: People change.

2763: Everyone’s guilty. I’m just punishing them!

One: And blackmailing me into submission, you remind me of myself a little~!

2763: We are similar in that sense, aren’t we?

One: Go on then, tell everyone I killed Gaty, Zro, Four and Three. See if I care.

2763: I think I will. You’ve got two days until I tell them.

2763: I hope you change your mind. You’re a smart girl.

One: I doubt I will.

Chapter Text

“Nine…?”

”Nine…?”

Said number bolted upright, messy white hair spilling over their shoulders as they unwrapped them sheets covering them. “Holy shit… what time is it?” They looked over at the clock, three in the morning.

”Nine…?”

”Nine…?”

Nine looked over at the doorway. It was probably Five doing their hall monitor duties — or they needed better meds “Yo, who’s’ there?” They tiredly called, but their heart stopped when they saw—

Zro. 

They were bleeding out profusely from their head, the wound covered by their cap. They looked terrified, absolutely terrified, even shaking a little ”Nine, I’m scared… what’s going on… why didn’t you try to help me?”

They knew what the therapist said to do. Ignore them, they’re not real. But they looked real. That was Zro, their Zro. It had to be. Nine covered their ears and laid back down.

”Nine. Why didn’t you save me.”

Ignore it.

They’re not real.

They’re not real.

They’re not real.

They’re not real.

They’re not real.

“Why didn’t you save me.”

10:23am

God, why was she enjoying this?

She promised she wouldn’t kill Seven. She swore.

But now, preparing the teacup, her heart fluttered with excitement.

God, she never changed, did she?

She picked up one of the gathered foxgloves and examined its trumpet-shaped petals, the freckling inside shimmering as she twisted and twirled the flower in her fingers, before plucking off a few petals and dumping them into the teacup. Delicately, she made sure to prepare it so the petals were invisible, then left it. Her little gift to her best friend, a cup of sweet poison.

He didn’t have to know.

She stirred the tea and blew on it — it was ready for use! Now, to locate Seven and have him drink the chalice of death…

==DMs: One and Seven==

One: Seven! I’ve got you something, meet me at the back of the school?

Seven: sure!!!!!!

Chapter Text

The two friends met beside the storage room used for the party a few weeks ago, One still clutching the teacup full of poison behind her back, grinning to herself. “Hi, Seven!” She beamed brightly “I got you a little gift!”

She took the teacup from behind her back, a little of the substance spilling over and splashing onto the grass. Seven looked at her, almost skeptically. “Tea?”

”Mhm! Tea!” Her smile twitched “I made it using some flowers from the gardening club.” She wasn’t lying there. One had no idea how much or how little he knew about flowering poisons, so she just had to pray he’d revert to his idiocy and drink it.

But the look in his eyes was alien. It shouldn’t have been there.

Before she could react, he suddenly slapped the teacup out of her hands, shattering it on the ground and spilling the poisoned beverage onto the greenery. “What the—“ She exclaimed “Why did you do that!?”

”Oh. Sorry, One.” He said, his face uncharacteristically blank “Maybe you can make me another one. Y’know, one that’s not obviously poisoned.”

Her heart leaped in her chest “What? Poisoned? What are you talking about? The gardening club doesn’t grow poisonous plants.” She lied, and Seven thought for a moment “Five told me they grow foxgloves, and they’re really really poisonous. She showed me what they look like, and one of the petals was in the tea! Were you trying to kill me!? I’m not an idiot!”

”I swear it was an accident, I didn’t know foxgloves are poisonous!” She lied through her teeth again, playing up the mask of sadness and regret, but Seven was always the only one who could see through her facades. “Then why did you ask to meet here?! I— I can’t believe you’d— you’d try to kill me! I’m your best friend!”

But she didn’t feel bad, even if she should.

Maybe she should have brought an emergency weapon.

Chapter Text

12:43pm

Paranoia welled up in his gut. He had to eat something, anything! There was no poison in it, he knew that. Why was he so scared? Seven looked at Five across the table, who looked at him back, concerned. “Seven, what happened. Usually, your lunch’d be gone before you even got out of the queue, especially on a Friday.”

”I told her I wouldn’t tell anyone.” He huffed, looking back down at the food on the plate. Six nudged him “Five’s right. Are you sick or something?” He shrugged “Nah, just… paranoid, I think. I had a weird dream, Y’know.” He lied, laughing it off. Five scoffed “You’re always having weird dreams, like the one where you actually wet the bed. My bed.” This was met with Six and Seven’s chagrin. 

The three of them kept talking. Distracted. Dismayed. Seven looked at his food — it had gone cold. He still needed to eat something. It wasn’t poisoned, it wasn’t gonna kill him. But he just had this feeling—

“One tried to make me drink poison!” He suddenly blurted out, and Five spat out of coffee as Six’s mouth hung open. Both of them looked at him, dumbfounded, as if he’d just told them the moon was made of cheese, or the sea is really soda, none sense he was known for, but no. This happened. He still remembered the way his best friend had held the cup, practically shoving it in his face. Drink it! Go on!

”She did— SHE DID WHAT!?” The purple number questioned “She— that bitch! I knew there was something up with her!” The cyan number seemed to agree “She was acting really weird — wait— you don’t think she…” They trailed off, and all three of them then knew.

They all knew.

==DMs: Two and Five==

Five: Hi, Two

Two: Oh hey Five!!! I’m back in office today so you can come see me if you want!

Five: Okay I’m really glad to hear your doing well and all but

2763: You’re not the first one to go off the deep end.

One: I’m not, I’m fine. I just need to get rid of Seven.

One: Fucking snitch.

2763: You really did lose your mind when Three died, didn’t you?

2763: Stop this. Stop now, and you might get out of this mess. Maybe they’ll trust you, maybe not.

One: You’ve turned this on it’s head, haven’t you?

2763: I just don’t want to get arrested.

One: Coward.

2763: Oh please, I can have you killed if I want.

Chapter Text

7:54am

“Fucking bitch.” Fifteen mumbled to herself, clutching the gun behind her back. Just to ‘talk’, she said, and One fell for it. Or she didn’t and had a plan of her own. She scoffed, looking around the secluded spot.

In the park.

Where she had last heard that intoxicating laugh. Where she last saw their warm, bright smile. They were only fifteen, why did she have to kill them.

It was all HER.

”Hello, Fifteen!” Said number heard a sing-song voice chime “I thought I’d find you here. My condolences are to what happened to—“

She lunged at One and grabbed her by the neck. “You. Fucking. BITCH.”

”YOU FUCKING BASTARD! WHY DID YOU DO IT— WHY DID YOU KILL ALL OF THEM!?” She screamed, ignoring the choking sound erupting from the girl in blue “YOU’RE SICK. A SICK, SICK PSYCHO!”

One managed to get out a few words “Wasn’t— my own choice, but it was— fun. You’d think you’d know what— that’s like, huh Fifteen!?” At these words, Fifteen dropped her and kicked her across the dirt. “Don’t you ever say that to my fucking face ever again you son of a bitch. I’ll make you regret the day you were BORN.”

She pulled out the pistol she was holding in her free hand, the one not previously being used to choke out One, and pointed it at her head. “Move, I dare you. I fucking dare you to move.” One smiled brightly “Oh, so we’re playing gunman now, are we? I’d be more than happy to join your game!”

She pulled out her own small handgun and pointed it at her head too “If you shoot, I shoot. You’ve got ten seconds to run before I shoot you. Y’know what…” She paused, suddenly aiming it at her abdomen “I’ll let you live a little, just to make it even more brutal.”

”Ten.”

Fifteen placed her finger on the trigger.

”Nine.”

One did the same.

”Eight.”

Their gazes met.

”Seven.”

Their lives were interlocked.

”Six.”

It was a suicide and a murder.

”Five.”

Nobody was getting out of this.

”Four.”

This is what she wanted all along.

”Three.”

To be alone forever.

”Two.”

At least…

”One.”

She’d get to see them again, right?

One fired the gun, it blazing through the air before hitting her right on target. Fifteen gripped as hard as she could her gun and pointed it straight at her leg.

A second gunshot. One grunted in pained crouched in pain.

Oh.

She was weakened.

One wasn’t getting away with this.

Fifteen was gonna give her the biggest fuck you of all time.

She smiled.

For one of the only times.

She grinned.

One watched, still grimaced in pain.

As Fifteen dropped to the floor.

And her blood ran cold.

A look of triumph on her face.

A smile of victory.

”I love you, Fifteen.”

”…I love you too, Zro.”

Chapter Text

8:00am

One watched Fifteen’s body fall to the ground, lifeless, with that smile on her face. A final ‘see you in hell’ from one loner to another. She had a choice. Get rid of the body and possibly risk getting caught, or leave the body and go get medical help.

She approached the body and pulled off Fifteen’s bag, rummaging through it until she found a bandage, which she began to wrap around where the bullet hit her in the leg. She ignored the white surface already being dyed red as she muttered swears to herself.

She grabbed the red-skinned girl by the arm and dragged her corpse to the middle of the park, where she found a moderately sized lake. Without a second thought, One took off Fifteen’s bag and jacket, put them on a nearby bench, and threw her into the briny waters.

She ‘drowned’.

It was another ‘suicide’.

And this time, she’d done it of her own accord. It wasn’t the terms of a deal, nor for any goal in particular. It wasn’t like in middle school where she tortured people for her rightful seat in the Student Council — she was doing this to cover her tracks. And partially for fun.

Yes.

It was fun.

A rush of power would overtake her as she saw her victims fall lifeless or be injured by her, by only her. She was important. She held their lives in her hands, she could take them at any moment.

It was always going to be her.

A giddy smile was plastered onto her face as she left the park, hiding the bandage under her skirt and socks.

2763: Why are you still killing them.

One: ?

2763: Our contracts are over, you can stop.

2763: I’ve done everything I needed to. Everyone who is guilty has been punished.

2763: And yet, you keep killing.

One: And? It has nothing to do with you.

2763: God forbid I don’t want to get arrested for manslaughter.

One: You can shapeshift.

2763: Still.

2763: That’s not good on my conscience.

One: Didn’t know you had one.

2763: I didn’t know you had one either.

One: Fair enough.

2763: Either way, why are you still doing this?

One: To vent my feelings, because it’s fun, there’s more too.

One: Three’s dead. Seven doesn’t trust me. The only thing I have is killing.

2763: Hm.

2763: Well, that’s all I needed to know.

2763: Goodbye. And fuck you.

One: Wow, fuck you too. I hope we meet in Hell.

2763: I hope we don’t. Go back to the cave you crawled out of.

Chapter Text

6:37pm

It was quiet in the Zeroes’ shared dorm. A few weeks ago, it’d be hectic as can be, all four of them running around and probsbly destroying the place while Zro almost begged them to shut up. But with the absence of the middle child, their siblings were silent.

It felt wrong.

They had always been together. The five of them were close as can be. Not even Nine could understand the bonds they held. Yes, they bickered, like all siblings do, but they loved each other. Each loved their sibling more than they valued their own lives.

A bond like no other broken by a selfish, rotten girl.

“Hey! Give it back! Give it back or else!”

”Or else what? Huh? Haha!”

”I hate all of you— just give me back my hat!”

”No can do! You said we could have whatever we want!”

”But Nine gave that to me! It was Dad’s!”

”Well, Dad can go suck my balls!”

”Shut up, Zero! Dad was awesome!”

”Yeah!”

“You think Nine got their hat back?” Zero2 asked, and Zero3 beside them sighed “Dunno. They said they could never find the body.” That must have been a lie, there was a witness right there.

”I wonder if Zro’s with Dad in Heaven.” Zero4 looked up at the ceiling “They’re probably in Hell, though. We’ll meet Dad, right?” Zero5 shrugged “Maybe. Nine’s been checking on us less and less, so we need to start being good if we want to go to Heaven.”

”We are good!”

”Gooder, idiot!”

”Hey! That’s not even a word!”

“All of you, shut it!”

”No! Fuck you!”

”Fuck you too! Maybe Zro wouldn’t have died if we didn’t argue all the time! Maybe Dad wouldn’t have fucking killed himself if we were better kids!”

Silence.

Raw silence.

Raw silence tainted with the grief of two family members. The father and child both dead, the siblings left to pick up the scraps. “I…” Zero2 sighed “Sorry.”

”It’s fine.” Zero5 almost cut them off “Just don’t talk that way about them. Both of them.”

A knock on the door cut the conversation in two. Three knocks, then four, then seven, then nine. It was Nine’s little signal of ‘hey bros! I’m here!’ that the siblings had gotten used to. Zero3 went to open the door, but found…

The cap.

”Holy shit!” They gasped out, stumbling back before picking it up. It stank of dirt and blood, and was torn slightly with a few bullet holes in, but it had been washed, and was clean.

The cap had been found.

”Oh, Nine~!” One cooed, tailing an unresponsive number. “Come on, don’t you wanna talk to me? Bro?”

”You said bro, so I do gotta follow the ‘bro-code’, so sure! Uhh, but didn’t you kill like, everyone?” They asked, and the girl just smiled innocently, a practical halo floating above her head “Me? Oh no.” She suddenly put on a depressed facade “I would never.”

Nine thought about it. One looked sad, like she was mourning the people who had died. It looked genuine enough to him, so it was probably legit “Okay, bro. Wanna be friends since both of our siblings are dead?” They almost hissed that last part, still grinning but the smile not exactly reach her obscured eyes. One nodded “Sure! I’m so sorry about your loss, by the way, poor Zro.”

”I do have something for you though. I found it at the park when Fifteen attacked me!”

One pressed Zro’s damaged cap into their grasp. Nine looked at it, covered in dirt and what was likely their blood. “Thanks.”

”And Fifteen what?”

Three Point One: what the fuck

Three Point One: who tge fuck

Threekisser: whats up??

Three Point One: ean

Three Point One: your boyfriend killed himself

Oh.

Ean looked at their phone, wide eyed. 

Three was…

Three was dead.

They hoped against hope he’d text something stupid just then, not an explanation, just a confirmation. Ean went to their messages and read through them, the last time they’d texted was weeks ago. When they watched Lilo and Stitch and dissed on the live action just after Gaty died.

”Oh, Three…”

They could barely say a word without their voice cracking. Their face, once lit with an immovable smile, was now pale amd saddened, their eyes shimmering with tears.

The light of their phone was the only thing lighting up their dark room. It was midnight and Vrrpt was still asleep. They looked over the messages again and again. Until the light hurt their eyes and they switched off their phones.

Ean turned over towards the wall and silently cried into their pillow. They knew they had to get up, act clueless the next day, but... Three, who had been so kind, so protecting, so determined— had died for no reason. He killed himself. Maybe if they were a better partner, he wouldn’t have done it.

It was their fault.

==DMs: Nine and One==

2:34pm

One: Nine!

One: I know you aren’t online.

One: But, I found something in the bike shed! I think you might like it~?

One: Consider it my second gift!

One: So meet me at the bike shed when you see this! I might be a little late, student council stuff.

4:35pm

Where was One?

Nine had been waiting for nearly an hour now. She wondered what this ‘thing’ was, maybe someone left a skateboard? He had no clue. Either way, they sat against the wall, messaging the group chat.

The sun was beginning to set on an autumnal evening, and it was quite chilly. They pulled her school blazer in on himself to preserve her body heat. The glimmering leaves, sparkling with dew and rain, continued staring.

It was only then, that Nine saw One’s slim silhouette, arms behind her back. One raised, waving happily. The smile on her face was questionably bright. “Sorry for the tardiness!” She beamed, trying to search their eyes behind his sunglasses for doubt.

”No problem, bro! What did you wanna show me?”

”Nine, can I ask you something?”

”Sure!”

”Do you like action movies? You know, the ones with guns?”

”Uhh, yeah? Why?”

Nine wasn’t expecting any sort of violence.

They certainly weren’t expecting One to pull a small handgun out, covered in blood. Her stomach dropped, and he stepped back, bumping into the wall. She pointed it straight at their head.

”Don’t move. Don’t you even think about moving, Nine!” She grinned widely, clutching the gun tightly. “You— you really did kill them! Gaty, Zro— everyone! You’re so fucking sick, dude!”

”Spare me your spin, already. Let’s get this over with.” Both hands were placed on the trigger. Nine raised her arms.

This was it.

This was the end.

Suddenly came a voice.

”STOP!”

Six.

Chapter Text

“…Shit.” One lowered the gun towards Six, who had been standing off to the side. “Move! Go on, I fucking dare you!”

”What the fuck are you doing!?” The older number ran towards her, covering the muzzle of the gun with her hand. “You can’t be serious— you were gonna— you bastard! You fucking bastard! You were gonna kill them!?”

“What’s it to you!?” One demanded, trying to pry the gun away out of Six’s grip. “Why the fuck does it matter? Nobody important to you died!” 

“Is that all you care about!? Fucking selfish! I knew it, I knew you hadn’t changed, dipshit!”

”Then run! Take your little partner and run if I’m still so evil!”

”Shut the fuck up!”

”No, you!”

Red clouded her vision as One aimed the gun straight for Six’s head. “Put the gun down!” Pleaded Nine, but she wasn’t listening, tunnel-visioned and goal driven. The final act in this opera didn’t need intervention.

BANG.

Shots fired.

A second bullet became four, then eight, then ten, then fifteen.

Six was dead before she hit the ground.

The barrage of bullets was over.

Nine ran towards her body, sobbing and begging for her to move, to wake up “SIX! SIXER! OH FUCK, FUCK! PLEASE WAKE UP, PLEASE!”

Her limbs were limp and cold and her expression was terrified yet determined.

One watched, empty-eyed and smiling.

Seven: including me

2763: Yes.

2763: I will admit, I was the reason many of your little friends were killed. Three, Zro, Gaty were all among them.

”There are six of us left, five if we don’t count Fourteen.” Five started. The five survivors were sat at a lunch table, whispering discreetly to themselves. “He got sent back to prison, right?” Ten asked, and Eight nodded.

”I got some DMs from 2763 last night. It said we have to…” Seven hissed the remaining part “Kill One.”

Nine spat out their soda, coughing and spluttering as Five facepalmed, handing them a napkin “You serious, bro? How on Earth are we supposed to do that!? She’s stronger than us!”

The five of them wondered, their thoughts matching, perfectly aligned like the constellations twinkling in the night sky, before a tall figure loomed over them. Their mere presence was enough to knock out a number from intimidation.

”Do not worry, I can help you!” It grinned, what felt like a million mouths smiling at once as a million eyes locked onto the five of them.

Chapter Text

12:04pm

”And you are?” Five looked at the smiling stranger suspiciously. They just laughed “Do forgive my intrusion! I have no intention of leaving you to my previous business partner. She’s been causing quite the ruckus, hasn’t she?”

”Mhm. Why specifically us?” Eight questioned, and Seven added “And are you that person who DMed me last night?”

”Why, yes I am! A pleasure to meet you both, Seven and Eight Integer. I suppose I should introduce myself as well, so that we’re all acquainted.” They mused, then proceeded to give a grin “My name is Two Thousand, Seven Hundred, Sixty Three, though it is often shortened to 2763. A pleasure to meet all of you.”

”Yeah, I’m not saying allat. 2763 it is!” Nine smiled “Nice to meet you, bro!”

”Same here… ‘bro’.”

”Enough with that.” Five almost shoved the white number out of their seat “You said you worked with One? Why should we trust you?” To that question, 2763’s smile dipped a little “I’ve gotten rid of all I need from all of you. I intended to have her stop this… spree she has gone on, though it seems she has disagreed. So, I have taken it upon myself to finish this opera!”

“Opera? Like this is just a fucking joke to you!? Like people haven’t actually died?”

”Oh, do calm down. I meant it metaphorically, I assure you that I am taking this very seriously.”

”Well, why can’t we just tell Principal Infinity?” Seven asked, and 2763 gave him a look of disappointment “Would a mother be very pleased if she found out her child had killed her own twin and her older sibling? I doubt it.”

”Right, so what’s the plan of action?”

2763 mused again, before seemingly coming up with an idea “Tell me, Five, you regularly attend theatre rehearsals for the upcoming production, correct?”

”Yeah, that’s right.” She confirmed, before realising “Oh, that’s not—“

”Indeed! You have guessed correctly.” The tallest number grinned “I plan to execute this little miscreant by executing a plan of my own at the upcoming school production! I am aware she runs the special effects, so… we will make her into a special effect!”

”That’s kind of brutal.”

”You think?”

”So, will all of you be aiding me in this little endeavour?”

…

”Fine.”

Two: I’ve let you have your fun now what do you really want???

2763: Judgement. One is guilty now.

Two: True, but fighting fire with fire isn’t necessary

Two: I’ve acted clueless, so you tell me

Two: Why are you still here? Why haven’T you left already???

2763: I don’t want to. Not until the plan is complete.

2763: I’ll stay here until the guilty are purged, then I’ll move on. I’ve done all I need to here.

Two: What about Seven?

2763: I’ll judge him when he dies of his own accord, I doubt it will be long.

Two: That’s an awful thing to say

2763: Your name was an awful thing for your mother to say.

Two: Okay that was harsh!!!

2763: Kidding. Haha. Anyways.

2763: Once One is dead, the guilty here are purged, and I can move on.

2763: So can their spirits. They won’t rest until One has been killed.

Two: You’re not doing it for them though are you?

2763: Admittedly, no. I’m solely following through because of her mishaps.

Two: And you’re offline great

Two: See you in the gc if you’re gonna log on later ‘big daddy’

2763: STOP THIS MADNESS.

Two: LMAO okay I have to go now see you

2763: Goodbye.

”They’re making a plan.”

”A plan to what?”

”Put our souls at rest you fucking dipshit!”

”Hey! Says you, you blue, math-obsessed, X-kissing, Announcer wannabe!”

”Fuck you!”

”Stop fighting, before I pull out a large sink and hit you over the head with it!”

”Fuck off, Six!”

“Don’t get me involved!”

”All of you shut the fuck up.”

”Oops—“

”Gah, kill yourself sis.”

”I would if we weren’t already dead, Three.”

”Do you think once our souls are put at rest we can go haunt our partners?”

”OHH SHIT I CAN’T WAIT TO MAKE OUT WITH X AND THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW IT.”

”Holy shit! EAN I’M COMING!”

”Literally.”

”Fuck you, Sex.”

”Yo sex!?”

”Go die in a hole all of you.”

6:34pm

The cast of the school production were backstage, preparing, including the Irrationals, who were speaking into walkie-talkies hidden in their costumes alongside their mics. 

“We’re all ready to go! Showtime’s in an hour — where the fuck is Five!?” Pi hissed into his, and the voice on the other end hummed “Not here. Are you sure she isn’t with you all?”

”I just asked Mx. Plus — no, they’re not here.” Tau confirmed, and Euler sighed “Thirty fucking minutes! I can’t wait any longer, the show’s gonna start!”

”We have to do warmups too, right? That gives Five some more time if she’s running late.” SQR2 said, still putting on her costume. Ean responded “Yeah, but warmups only take like, two minutes! Does someone have her contact saved?”

”I do!”

”Of course you do, Tau. Just call her.”

Tau quickly called Five’s contact, but it went straight to voicemail. “She’s not there. Did her phone die?” They asked into their walk-in talkie, and the other end buzzed with worry.

”Where’d she go?”

”Twenty minutes now!”

”We can’t do The Wizard of Oz without Dorothy!”

”I thought Five was the Tin Man?”

”I swore she was the Wicked Witch.”

”Everyone! Five’s part in the play isn’t important!” Pi began “We need to find out where she is—“

”Alright everybody! Pack it up, let’s warm up our voices before the show!” Plus summoned everyone quickly “Euler, you’re Dorothy’s understudy, right?”

”Yeah, but I’m sure Five’s just running a little late, that’s all!”

”Okay, let’s just warm up and wait for Five.”

==The Algebros==

6:56pm

Big Daddy: Five, I need you to confirm you are on your way to school. The Irrationals are unable to contact you.

Freak: wait what the fuck is five okay

Big Daddy: I am not sure, she is not backstage.

Potato Sack: oh shit okay bros did anyone see five after school

Nonchalant Dreadhead: i did, she said she was going straight home to get ready.

Ten: oh yeah we have p7 math together!!!!

Big Daddy: I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the show is starting. I’ve opened the backstage doors near the quad, I trust you’Vee brought weaponry.

Freak: me and eight are here!!!

Potato Sack: me and ten bro are also !!!!!!!here

Big Daddy: Break a leg everyone.

Fourteen: what

Chapter Text

7:00pm

”Thank you for coming to see the Wizard of Oz tonight at Algebra High. May we please remind you that taking photos and videos of any part of the production is prohibited. Go, follow the Yellow Brick Road, and enjoy the show!” Plus’ voice rang out from backstage, and the lights came up onstage.

Euler missed his cue, but it didn’t matter.

Five was there.

Hanging.

She was hanging from a fixture on the stage, face pale and eyes lifeless as blood drivelled down from her mouth. Her costume, the sweet gingham dress she’d spent so long personally sewing, was now covered in splotches of blood. 

The world seemed to slow down suddenly as Five’s body swung side to side.

Seven rushed backstage.

Peeked through the gap.

Saw her corpse.

“Shit.” He whispered “Shit. Shit shit shit shit! What the fuck!?” He couldn’t stop himself. Five was dead. Five. Dead. Gone. She was dead. It didn’t feel real.

It couldn’t be real.

He only snapped out of it when the curtain closed and people began to panic. Screaming overtook his mind as people thrashed to leave. In the midst of their shadows, he saw her.

One.

Trying to leave.

He ran towards her and grabbed her by the shoulder.

Taking the gun out of his pocket slowly, his arms shook with terror, sadness and anger.

”One! What did you do!?” He almost screamed, trying not to cry as she turned around, astounded “Seven!? Did you seriously follow me here!?”

He pointed the gun at her head, quivering. He couldn’t shoot her.

”Five’s dead! Five’s fucking dead! Because of you — why! Why!” Seven demanded, eyes prickling with hot tears “I thought we were friends! I hate you! I hate you so much, fuck it!”

”It was fun, okay? I liked it, I liked hearing her swear and scream as I snapped her neck, then watching her go dead quiet, it was exhilarating! I finally felt powerful, Seven! Do you not know what it’s like being me!?” She dove into her pocket and found a gun of her own, before it was quickly knocked out of her hand by—

Nine.

”Not so fast!” She laughed victoriously, pulling out a gun of his own and pointing it at One, too. Quickly, the kicked the murderer’s handgun away, under the stage. “You killed my sibling, my girlfriend and me too, bro! That’s not cool!” Nine grasped the gun tightly, their expression hardening “So we gotta kill you now!”

She was surrounded.

This was it.

”If I’m gonna die, you can fucking die too, Seven.”

One gun fired.

Then another.

And only one was left standing. 

Chapter Text

7:03pm

Nine watched as both One and Seven fell victim to each other’s bullets.

First, it was One, who bled out quickly, but Seven…

Clung on.

He was shot in the abdomen.

“Shit! Seven-bro, hold on! I’m calling the police!” She pulled out her phone and dialled 911, murmuring into the phone before hanging up and kneeling over the barely conscious number.

”Nine— oh, shit… I know we weren’t friends, but… don’t blame yourself if I die! Zro wouldn’t have wanted that, Six wouldn’t have, and I don’t either…” he smiled “Instead, watch Skibidi Toilet…”

”Seven, bro, you’re literally dying.”

”Shit. Either way, just don’t blame yourself. Thanks for being so epic.”

”No problem, bro.”

Nine looked over the two bodies. One’s face wasn’t visible, lying in a pool of her own blood, hair and antennae matted and tangled. Seven lay on his back, bleeding from his stomach with a puddle around him, too. So much blood, so much death. She wanted to be sick.

Especially as she saw the light fade out of the latter’s eyes.

”Wait, Seven!”

Gone.

In a blink, he was gone.

One opened her eyes.

Dark.

Quiet.

Then, she saw a tall silhouette loom over her.

”Hello, One.”

”What do you want?”

The figure beamed.

”Remember when I said you’d have fun in Hell?”

No.

Two tendrils wrapped around her feet.

She tried to scream.

But nothing came out.

She writhed and wrestled, trying to break free.

But the tendrils were dragging her down.

Into the blackness.

Then they reached her arms.

”HELP ME!”

”FOUR, SIX, THREE, SEVEN! ANYONE!”

Then they wrapped around her mouth.

Silencing muffled screams.

Until she was gone.

Absolved into the blackness.

It was bright.

White.

Seven squinted.

”Where am I?”

Pretty white flowers decorated the ground.

And a figure.

Five.

”You finally made it, huh? I didn’t think it’d be long.”

But the two lovers found themselves in each others’ embrace.

”Five! Oh my God — what is this place?”

”Heaven, probably. I ended up here after I died.”

”Is everyone else here too?”

”Yeah, I think. I’ve only seen Three so far, though, but he said he was bickering with Four and Fifteen.”

“What about the others?”

”We just watch them.”

Seven looked up at the sky.

And saw Nine looking at his body.

”Hey! Is someone else here?”

He turned around and saw Three now standing next to Five.

”Oh, hey Seven! Guess we can all finally rest now, huh?”

”Right, didn’t you say the others finally want to rest?”

”Rest?”

”2763 said since One’s dead, we can finally sleep now. Good, I’m so tired.” 

Five slapped him.

”You’re always fucking tired.”

”Well, I’ll be tired no longer! Let’s go find the others!”

The three of them took a short walk.

Before finding another white flower field.

Chrysanthemums.

Everyone lay between them, asleep, drifting soundly away from the shore of consciousness.

Seven lay down himself, beside Five.

And finally.

Drifted into eternal, peaceful sleep.

Chapter Text

“We are gathered here today to celebrate the lives of the victims of the Algebra High serial murder case.” Principal Infinity spoke into the mic in front of a crowd of high schoolers sitting on the pews in the local church. “As I am sure you’re all aware, two years ago today, the perpetrator of the murders, One Integer, died by the gun of Seven Integer, who was also killed.”

”We would like to thank all of those who attempted to stop the murders, and honour those who sadly died innocent. These people were: Gaty Fenceworth, Zro Integer, Four Integer, Three Integer, Fifteen Integer, Six Integer, Five Integer and Seven Integer, Who all died innocent and young. Right now, they would all be graduating.” The principal continued “As a mother to two of the victims, I would like to express my condolences to all parents, siblings, partners and friends of the victims here today. Our class President, Two Integer, has prepared a few words on this matter.”

Infinity stepped off the stage, and Two stepped on, taking a deep breath. “I never expected to be up here today, honouring my friends, my girlfriend, everyone who died. If you would have talked to me two years ago, I wouldn’t have responded. This has been a dark time in my life, but…” They sighed “I’ve moved forward. They’ve never left my mind, they’ve never left anyone’s mind, but I know they wouldn’t want us to cry over them. I’ve healed, we’ve all healed, and we’re all moving forward. We did the best we could o protect our friends, and we did.”

They smiled “Thank you, everyone, thank you for preventing any more deaths. Nine, Eight, Ten… Fourteen, Pi, Tau, Euler, Square Root 2, Ean… thank you so much for all you’ve done.” And with that, the speech was over, and the church resounded with applause. After that, all the bodies were finally put to rest in the earth, both flesh and soul finally able to relax.

~The End~
(really this time)
