Chapter Text

Being forsakened is like being in a merry-go-round, if the merry-go-round can only be entered once and you're not able to get off that is.

Thats how 007n7 felt when he got forsakened. Died, and forever trapped in a death loop of endless 'games' as the Spectre likes to call it.

No one could escape it, even if they wanted to. And 007n7 accepted that statement,

Until now.

Nother day, another round.

All the other survivors were doing their own thing. Elliot was making pizza's, Chance was convincing Noob that gambling was good with Guest 1337 denying the claim, Taph and Builderman were making devices for rounds as Dusekkar watched from the side, and Two Time was doing their prayers as usual.

He himself is doing his usual, messing around with the c00lgui in hopes of finding something useful. Well it was before someone interrupted.

007n7 jumped slightly as he felt two pair of hands land on his shoulders, frightening him.

"Whoopsies, didn't mean to scare ya double-o-seven! Bit curious on the little device ya always have there." The sword user proceeds to grab it and starts looking at its features. 

Seven shrieked and took it back. "What are you doing?! Whats with the sudden interest on the c00lgui?!"

"Its interesting to say the least," Shedletsky started. "I actually had a admin panel before this before it got cruelly taken away by the Spectre!"

"Are you claiming that I somehow stole it?"

"Yes. Now if you excuse me I'll have to borrow your little lover. We need to restock on some of the best meat in all of the world somehow!"

The ex hacker sighed before giving up the c00lgui to Shedletsky. "Just- dont get too much chicken or do anything stupid."

Then silence, just silence. One watched the other use his device for his own benefit, wondering why Shedletsky even bothered to go over to him.

After some consideration, he decides to just ask the person themselves.

"... Hey, what are your actual intentions on going over to me? Very unusual for you to do so."

Shedletsky turns his head to look at 007n7. "Just wanted to take a looksie inside! Not every hacker gives us permission to look at their scripts."

After hearing that, 007n7 just panicked and tried taking it back, which was denied forcefully with Shedletsky gripping it tighter.

"You're not allowed to peek through! I only gave you for chicken and nothing else!"

"Oh come onnnn- just a tour of the gui? I'll give you a rundown on our realllyyy important meetings that you missed!"

"NO-!"

SNAP! 

The whole room went silent. Everyone went to stare at the source of the sound-

A retired exploiter holding one half

A retired admin holding the other half

And a broken c00lgui

007n7 dropped to his knees onto floor and stared in disbelief, meanwhile Shedletsky felt guilty for not giving him the c00lgui back.

And before the other survivors could comment on the situation,

The two vanished.

!!!!

Looking around, 007n7 noticed he was back at his old house.

Same kitchen, same living room, same joyous laughter-

Wait laughter-?

007n7 felt a small child hug him from behind.

"PAPA!!!"

A familiar red child.

_______ woke up in a familiar place, the roblox hq.

The deity shot up and looked around before looking at himself, seeing himself in his old robes. 

As the rain poured outside, he got himself on his feet before dashing through the hq, desperate to get out. 

_______ zoomed past the other admins. Ignoring greetings and not caring for the confused glazes he was receiving. 

He had to get to him. To apologize. To make things right. 

To revert the future. 

Stomp stomp stomp

_______ trudged through the rain, desperate to get to his desired destination. 

Step by step, he's getting closer to _____.

And nothing will stop him from reaching him. 

Sounds of the harsh rain makes its way inside of the freezing house. The two occupants sit in the middle, hugging one another. One protecting the other from the cold with a warm hug. 

C00lkid sat confused as 007n7 hugged him tightly and started apologizing profusely for anything really. It was nonsense to c00lkidd without any context. 

"D444444d Why 4r3 y0u 4p0l0g1z1nggg????" C00lkidd exaggerated his tone while shaking 7n7 slightly. 

The father looked down before wiping his own tears and speaking. "Its- its nothing, kidd. Just being overdramatic..."

C00lkidd just nodded before jumping up and now shaking aggressively at 007n7.

"4444NNNYYYWWWW444YYYSSS!!! 1'm hungry! L3ts buy p1zz4!!!!" The volume was loud, 007n7 was sure the neighborhood could even hear it. 

"C00lkidd we cant do tha-" Before he could even finish the sentence, he finds himself getting dragged out of the house by his own kidd. 

The strength was concerning (even for a kid!) as c00lkidd dragged him with no issue. 

"1 D0NT C4R3! L3TS 0RD3R P1ZZ4!"

C00lkidd practically dragged 007n7 to the pizzeria. Whispers and gazes have formed around the two in an uncomfortable manner. The father just shielded c00lkidd. 

The duo got in a line, one jumping with joy while the other held him while looking down in shame. 

After Elliot finishes another customer's order, he looked at the two and-

“GET OUT. NOW. YOU TWO ARE BLACKLISTED” 

007n7 ended up ordering pizza through the phone for the kidd- only once though (Elliot was certainly displeased by that aswell). 

They ate happily at the dining table. C00lkidd happily munching on the pizza the two received, while 007n7 tried to see if he could get his c00lgui back, maybe even repair it. 

Its not coming back its not coming back its not coming back its not coming back its not coming back its not coming ba-

A yawn was heard from the other side of the table, sleepy eyes stared at him back while he checked the time. 

It was late, past c00lkidd's bedtime even. 

So the father picked the child up and walked over to the bedroom to put him to sleep. Maybe even reading a bedtime story along the way. 

As he tucks in c00lkidd to bed, aggressive knocks were heard at the front door, sounding desperate to go in. 

007n7 kissed c00lkidd's forehead for the last time before turning off the lights, closing the door gently, and heading straight towards the front door. 

Opening the door, he was greeted by a familiar face. One he swore to never worship. 

“TELAMON?! WHY THE #### ARE YOU DOING HERE?!”

Outside in the rain, Telamon looms over the exploiter. Wings covered in dirt with his clothes soaking wet from the rain. His robes were messy and seemed unkept. 

The deity winced at the volume of the exploiter before a groan was heard from said deity. 

“Telamon is not Telamon, Telamon is Shedletsky. And Shedletsky is terribly cold.”

“... Shedletsky?”

007n7 shoved Telamon Shedletsky to the couch before patting him down with a towel he grabbed from the bathroom and covering him with the said towel. 

“Exploi-”

“What were you thinking?!” Stress ran through 007n7 as he cut off Shedletsky, dropping to his hands and knees and trying to keep his shit together. 

The gigantic looking bird stared down 007n7, waiting for a good time to speak. He couldn't do anything to calm the other down so he just stared. 

Meanwhile 007n7 was having a breakdown over it. The c00lgui was gone and destroyed in his knowledge and it seemed like they went to the past. He doesn't even know if he could even bring the c00lgui back. 

Would he have been able to stop Shedletsky by letting him use it normally? Or perhaps he could've just denied Shedletsky in general to avoid drama? How can he even protect c00lkidd like this?! 

He was a horrible father- a horrible person in general. Everyone knows that, it was common sense! He couldn't even get his c00lgui intact let alone his own chi-

007n7 snapped out of it as something was nudging him. He looked beside him and-

“Drink this, exploiter.”

A cup of water. 

Shedletsky offered it nervously after going to the kitchen to grab a cup, not used to these kinds of situations- especially with hackers like 007n7.

007n7 stared at it before taking the water and taking a sip of it. “Thank you…” he muttered quietly as he sat beside the Deity quietly, not wanting to disturb him. 

The room was tense. It was suffocating. The rain continued to pour like nothing was happening as the two stared at each other like they only had each other (more like Shedletsky staring at 007n7).

As the cold air breezed throughout the house, 007n7 shivered and curled up into a ball to warm up from both the temperature and the atmosphere of their current situation. 

Then finally, Shedletsky spoke again. 

“Exploiter. Tela- Shedletsky apologizes for what they have done. Shedletsky will do anything for your forgiveness as I have wronged you. Though, despite knowing that we are in the past, it seems like our personalities are still the same as what we were in the past.”

The other just stared at Shedletsky. Not knowing what to say. Before going over and hugging him. Making sure to not touch the wings. 

“I forgive you.”
