ErrorInk:To Be Enemies Or Not To Be Enemies

Chapter 99:Puppets and Hourglasses

Nightmare's POV a week later

"Hmm, if leaving you to die won't work, what will?"Tim asks again

"I dunno. That's for you to learn."I say again

He swings a punch and I dodge.

"Oh, and what will work to strike fear into them? Show my power? Get on Renew's radar and become a part of her team?"He asks

"I dunno, you seem pretty weak."I say

He throws a punch and I catch it.

"Huh, guess I have to think outside the box."He says, pressing a button

Electricity runs through me and I drop to my knees. Gosh I hate these things.

"Oh! I know! Now that I got the yang to positivity, cause and guardian of negativity, leader of the gang all in one go, why don't I get another powerful person? Maybe you both could be useful. Ta ta!"He says, then teleports away

The shock stops. I sigh. I shake my head and take out the emergency knife I hid in my sleeve. I start to cut away at the chains and the shock collar. I get the chains off but not the collar. Ugh. I work away at it anyway. 

Until I hear footsteps. 

I hide it in my sleeve again and make it seem like he broke my arm. I hold it as if it was wounded to fake it. In comes Tim with someone else. He has a sack over their head and I'm talking about those potato sacks. He has their arms tied to the back and the ankles chained. I get up.

"Success! Let's see how confident they are when they notice he's gone too!"Tim says

He unmasks this person and it's Fallacy. Tim slaps him. Bad move. Fallacy wakes up, breaks the chains on him and glares Tim down. Fallacy was about to attack Tim, but then spots me. 

"Nightmare!"He shouts

He quickly runs over to me and checks my wounds. Then he hugs me protectively.(Top image)

"For every wound you made on him, I will make double on you!"He snaps

"Oh, I highly doubt that."Tim says

"What do you even want?"Fallacy asks

"More than you can comrehend."He says

"He wants to be a villain and take over the multiverse. He is gonna use us for leverage most likely.."I say

"Hey! NO spoilers!"He snaps

"Sorry drama king, I am not the suspense type of person."I say

"Ugh, well enjoy having your life flash before you both while I plan on what to do with you both."He says, then leaves

Code swirls around us, taking form. They become panels around us, showing hundreds of memories, moments in our lives, the good and the bad. I grow bored of watching mine, not wanting to relive many of those moments. I look and see that Fallacy's moments in life weren't so good either. He doesn't even glance at his. He was even more curious about mine though. He releases me and paces along the panels, watching them play like dozens of little videos playing.

"This is your life?"He asks

I nod.

"Jeez, life hasn't been on your side. I never thought that you went through all that."He says

"What others call evil is made, not born. And I had the fortune of being born into the despised guardian role, but that did not make me evil. No, it was what they did to me and what I did when I finally cracked that made me the evil being in their eyes. But...I wasn't like that."I say
