I never thought I’d make a Pibby storyline.

But here we are. I guess that after my first blog, I couldn’t help it.

So, continuing from where we left off.

Hexa runs out of the building, which was set on fire during the Manifest reveal. He finds himself following RuvStyle’s previous instructions – albeit far too late.

“Stupid,” he mutters as tears stream down his face, “I’m so stupid.”

He finally skids to a stop, catching his breath as his face gets hot. He collapses behind a pile of debris and sobs.

“I thought I wouldn’t be alone…I thought I’d found someone…and then…”

Hexa buried his face in his hands. “Now what?”

Give up, a voice inside him whispered.

“Maybe…no. I need to save my friends. I can’t leave them. I need to find all of them…it’s up to me now.”

Or not, the voice whispered. They’re better off without you.

“Shut up,” Hexa muttered. “Just leave me alone.”

Oh, I’m your only hope of survival.

The only one who can keep you sane in this trying time.

It’s funny, isn’t it? The voice you try to block out. Now, I have to save you.

Poor, sweet, Jhordan. Thinking he can prove himself worthy. Heh. So naïve.

“Shut up, Dust.” Hexa clutches his head. “Shut up. Shut up. Shut UP.”

He sobs. “Leave me alone.”

“Leave me alone.”

Smile 2.5 but Hexa and Dust sing it

Hexa finally takes a deep breath. “Jeez…Stop talking to yourself, Jhordan. You’re going to drive yourself crazy.”

He manages to pull himself up, only to gasp and duck behind the pile of debris again. He’d almost been in the line of sight of a corrupted minion of the Darkness. A Pibbified Knuckles looked around before continuing to patrol the area.

Horrified, Jhordan looked around and saw Pibbified Tom Cat, Pibbified Finn, Pibbified Robin, and many other characters, now mindless zombies. He even saw Pico among the corrupted.

“Stupid…” He muttered to himself, “You got yourself in a dangerous situation…again. Pay attention…last time this happened…well, there’s a reason you’re a party of one.”

Hexa looked around him once more, trying to find a means of escape. Finally, his eyes landed on a black pistol next to a puddle of the Darkness.

A gun?

He crawled over to it and picked it up, being careful not to touch the deadly substance around it. It felt heavy in his hands. Jhordan sensed sorrow and a bitter end had come to the wielder of it.

“Hm. Kind of like Neo’s…but no neon markings.”

He checked the compartment. 20 out of 33 bullets. Not bad. He saw some magazines around, 10 total. He shoved them in his pockets.

“That’s nice,” he nodded, “Now I have something to attack without getting in contact with that substance.”

Hexa looked around before dashing behind the minions and ducking behind a pile farther away.

“Alright. Keep going, Jhordan,” Hexa told himself, “You got this.”

Repeating this process, he finally escaped the puppets of the corruption. Even so, he kept searching the faces to see if he recognized any of his friends. None.

He sighed. “Well…I’ll find them. They must be in a different area.”

Suddenly, Jhordan heard footsteps behind him. He felt his body tense and immediately knew it was someone-or something-dangerous.

He wheeled around and aimed his gun toward the source of the noise.

“Hex? Is that you?”

That voice…he knew that voice.

Jhordan’s hands trembled as he lowered the gun ever so slightly. “…Z-Zynux?”

“Hex…where are you? I can’t see…”

Jhordan felt a pang in his heart. Zynux. His friend.

“Nux…can you come any closer?”

A figure steps out of the shadows. Scarf tattered, bruised, arms bandaged, but definitely familiar.

The figure rubs his cloudy eyes and they return to a normal state. “Hex?”

Zynux smiles as Hexa’s gun hits the ground with a hollow clatter.

“Nice to see you again.”

Comforting Whispers but Zynux and Hexa sing it
