Chapter Text
100 seconds left on the timer, they only need to survive a little more longer before the portal appears. Distracting the killer from a downed Guest who was saved by Jane, Kako sprinted as fast as they can while keeping the killer's attention on them. Despite having infinite stamina, they knew that they would still be caught if they weren't careful as the killers are known to have more speed than them.
Finally with one of their abilities finished cooldown, Kako immediately took the chance to use it knowing they would have to tank a hit now that C00lkidd is getting close. Kako aimed one end of their daggers to a nearby surface, pulling on the chains after as they jumped up to avoid the stab from the killer before swinging into a different direction.
They stumbled a bit upon landing as the exhaustion was starting to get to them but they ignored the stinging in their legs. Surviving was their top priority, especially with the portal opening soon. Kako turned over the sharp corner up ahead, miraculously losing C00lkidd who passed them thinking they sprinted ahead instead of hiding. The green haired robloxian held their breath before huffing out in exhaustion once it was clear. They took out their device to see that the portal have just opened, all they need to do is locate it and regroup with the other survivors - which will take some time as they were on the other side of the map where the portal had opened - with C00lkidd still lurking nearby, Kako knew it was going to be twice as difficult now with the portal opened. They were on their last life too..
They're so screwed, are they?
Their legs are about to give up, both of their abilities are on cooldown and the killer is on high alert for any survivors that will appear to find the portal where its safe once enter through.
Kako just let out a tired sigh, staring down at the ground with blurry vision from all of that running. "Come on, Kako. You can still do this..
we can't let them down."
They run a hand over their hair after to get a grip of themselves, only to realise something missing. "What the.. how come i never noticed.. my daffodil!"
Why yes, the white daffodil the latter has always wore on their head as an accessory, one could say it actually matches with their green hair (It was Jane who gave the compliment). Its not just any normal flower for them to be panicking. It's important enough to make them act on impulsiveness.
Sprinting out from their hiding spot, Kako immediately ran back the path they went through in hopes of finding back the flower, forgetting that they need to be careful for the killer. They couldn't just LEAVE the fallen flower, they have to get it back
They can't just..
forget it..
"My lucky day.. couldn't find any supplies but found a still perfectly intact flower on the ground seemingly not dripping with XPloit yet. It's my favourite flower too." Kako deadpan before letting out a scoff, crouching down infront of the white daffodil blooming with surrounding dirt and rotten flowers all over the wrecked sidewalk. Kako wasn't exactly in good shape. They were surviving all alone for a few weeks now, in a constant move to avoid the threats in the now ruined Robloxia - let's just say the team they're used to be in weren't exacrly reliable - nor survive any longer so might aswell leave for their own good. Everyone in that stupid group only care for themselves only, unbelievable in such situation.
It would be easier for everyone to not form that group in the first place if they're scared to sacrifice a few supplies for others.
Letting out a sigh, Kako looked back at their own condition. It's been a while since they got actual sleep, must've looked like a panda right now with the eyebags. They havent changed their bandages either since they dont have new rolls nor have their injuries healed. They won't last long if they couldn't find anything.
*snap*
Hearing the twig breaking nearby, Kako immediately drew their weapon out and threw one end of their daggers towards the sound, just barely missing the survivor. Wait, survivor? "Shit-! My bad." They quickly apologised as they realised it was just another robloxian, pulling back their dagger by its chain as they stood up. Well, they atleast LOOK like a robloxian. Who knows, what if there's XPloit crawling behind them?
"You shouldn't be out here. Especially this late." The said survivor spoke up as he approached them, just standing behind the daffodil. Kako just let out a scoff, putting their dagger back into its scabbard on their right thigh. "I should say the same to you, genius." The green haired robloxian replied back, crossing their arms as they stared down at the survivor infront of them. The two stayed like that for a while before the red robloxian let out a sigh, turning a heel to head back to his base. He looked back at Kako to tell them something before walking away, making the other slightly caught off guard.
They were offered to follow him if they want to. Kako hesitated since the other didnt say anything else. What if it's a trap? Where is he going in the first place and where did he come from anyway? What WAS he doing out this late?
"Whatever..i have nothing to lose anyway..", they end up following the latter, from a distance, not without plucking the daffodil first to take with them.
There it is! Looks like the flower fell off when Kako used their dagger to pull themselves up from C00lkidd. Seeing the flower still in a decent condition made the latter let out a sigh of relief, slowly approaching the flower to pick it up and checking if there's anything on it. They're actually still questioning on how it stayed like this, no damage, not withered and better yet, NOT dripping with XPloit.
They were about to head back towards the portal until they saw something approaching, fast.
"FOUND YOU!!"
Oh well, corrupted it is for this round. Hopefully everyone had gone through the portal by now before they end up hunting them down instead in their corrupted state. They already closed their eyes in defeat before they heard a sword unsheathing near them.
How lovely.
"You idiot, what are you standing still for!?" Brickbattler questioned with scowl, stunning the killer using his trusted Linked Sword. Hearing an annoyed hiss from C00lkidd, the swordsman immediately took the ex-florist's hand and ran towards the direction of the portal. "Are you crazy!? You're one hit away from turning into one of them, the portal is already open and it'll close any second!" The winged swordsman continued to scold the latter all while holding their hand tightly with his other hand occupied with his sword. The latter also seemed to have wounds on his chest - Kako also has a lot all over them looking like they willingly head TOWARDS the danger - he really risked going back to get them while both were on they're last lives.
What would've they do without him
