Chapter Text
Drakobloxxer’s were an extremely rare species to encounter, from the full breeds of them to the mere hybrids. 007n7 was one of these supposed hybrids, though not shown appearance wise, his behavior was similar to one. Great hunger striking him at night, causing the storage of prey and meat to be consumed completely, this caused great speculation between the survivors of this predicament; another was instinct, instincts to which were strong, to climb, run, fight. 007n7 was able to hide these traits easily, minus his horns and tail and freakishly tall height; C00lkidd was also a hybrid like Seven, though he was unable to hide the traits of one. When they were both alive, C00lkidd sometimes snuck out to do ‘daily’ hunts, usually succeeding 40% most of the time, his skin, fur, claws and teeth were another, as well as his small horns and tail.
——
There was a quite strong wind outside the camp, a common weather occurrence the Spectre had added. All survivors were inside the main cabin, talking with one another happily, Shedletsky was busy boasting about his supposedly good fortune he’d gotten lately with his sword. “And then BAM! I struck down Slasher so hard I’m sure the stun was five times as long!” Chance and Noob merely gave each-other a glance that basically said “that did not happen.” yet they continued to listen to the chicken-man boast.
A quick yelp was heard from the kitchen, Elliot practically tripping out the door with three large trays of pizza, a normal cheese, pepperoni and the last a pizza with many different topics on. “Elliot can you even carry all that?” Chance had asked, “I’m q-quite alright Chance!” Elliot almost dropping a tray while he ‘reassured’ Chance. Noob and Chance immediately got up to help the pizza boy, “You know you can always ask for help, yea?” Chance giving a grin, Elliot merely sighing in defeat.
Noob quietly followed behind the two, a tray of pizza in hand; they liked to help out, yet disliked the fact they were almost if not completely ignored by the other survivors. They knew they were appreciated and cared for in the cabin, but it was still a lingering thought that they were pushed away by the others especially in “mature” conversations, conversations they could easily handle too! Noob huffed slightly before putting the tray on the table where the other survivors began to gather around, they knew the favorite types of pizza’s the survivors liked; Shedletsky with cheese, Chance with pepperoni, Elliot rarely ate his own pizzas but when he did the most common was his multiple toppings pizza. Builderman was a plain guy, taking cheese too, Dussekar got the multiple toppings and the rest mainly got combinations of all. Noob personally liked the pepperoni pizza, they’d think it would be better if Elliot made one specific pizza just with peppers, that was their favorite thing to eat on free time, especially when picking them after gardening with 007n7.
Wait..
007n7? Where was he at? Usually he’d arrive to grab at least a slice, if not then Noob would go take a slice or two with them to deliver. Noob knew that 7n7 would sometimes sneak in hours later at midnight to grab whatever was left of dinner, yet he stopped doing that when the survivors decided to set aside past conflicts with him and asked him to join the main cabin for dinners. Maybe they could check on him after eating? No. This was a now issue, they went over to the kitchen, grabbing a paper plate and some foil before walking over to the pizzas, grabbing two slices they began to head out the door before a voice was heard behind them. “Hey Noob, where you heading?” Chance.
Noob knew as a possibility that they were gonna get themselves caught, but hopefully it was by Elliot or Guest, not Chance really, Chance merely attracts more attention than necessary. Letting out a strained groan they turned to face the gambler, “I’m gonna deliver this pizza to 007n7, h-he hasn’t come for dinner yet and I just want to know if he’s o-okay..” Chance smiled softly, “Well if you’re gonna go on a trip, mind if I come with?” Noob hadn’t anticipated that, “S-sure.” Chance grinned wide, before turning around and inviting Guest and Elliot, of course. The four then began to head out further from the main cabins towards the deep forests where Seven lived. He specifically stated for him to be placed at the furthest cabin, away from the rest; Two Time was the second furtherest for their ‘religion’. As they journeyed deeper in the forest, the wind was highly picking up stronger, leafs and small branches hitting Noob’s face to their annoyance, yet continued the trek towards Seven’s cabin. Soon enough after going through a grove of thick trees, they found their designated place, 7n7’s cabin was old, worn; the wind that hit the cabin made it groan eerily, like it’d break if one more thing hit it. Noob had asked Seven to at least have Builderman see if he could fix it, or even stay with them for the time being, yet he always refused the small chances; on occasion though, they’d travel to his cabin to stay there for the night, a mere friendly if not family-like gesture.
Elliot had slunk his way over to Noob, giving a mere nod towards Seven’s door, Noob went up and knocked calmly, “M-mr. 007n7? Are you awake right now? We have some dinner for you.” Usually 007n7 would make a mere attempt to respond, even if it was mumbled; but as they waited for an answer, none came. Silence only filled the air as the seconds passed; Noob frowned slightly, knocking again, louder this time. “7n7? Are you here?” Noob could head a crunching of leafs as Chance had stepped up, “Yo buddy! Wake up!” Urg, Chance the loudmouth like usual.. Chance continued his bout of words, his voice merely rising louder where’d it feel like Noob’s ears would bleed, “Ack!” Chance fell forward, hitting a nearby tree that sat beside the cabin. Elliot stood right where Chance was, arms crossed with a slightly annoyed look on his face, “Chance, yelling isn’t gonna magically make him come out.” Chance only looked at Elliot, his shades hiding his emotions, well..minus the large grin on his face. “You never know Elliot, you never know” Elliot sighed in response, “Whatever, let me try instead of you acting like a rabid dog.” Elliot knocked on the door, “007n7. Open up, unless you’re not in there; we’ll leave your dinner near the door.” A final word and chance for him to open up, no answer came though. “Well we tried, let’s go back.” Elliot began to head away, Noob only watched with mouth slightly agape, ‘that’s it? No way that’s all Elliot would do! What if Seven’s in trouble..’ “C’mon Noob! Let’s head back to the others!” Guest had yelled, the other 3 were already walking back once Elliot called it, Noob’s frown only deepened. “W-what if Seven is in t-trouble! We wouldn’t k-know until it’s too late!” A mere sad attempt to stop the others from leaving, Elliot stopped in his tracks, turning around to face Noob. “Noob I know you’re really not gonna like what I’m going to say. But, 007n7 will be fine on his own. He’s always been fine, so why worry now? Besides he skips dinner occasionally, what’s so different about this one?”
Noob turned quiet, rage slowly filled their body, veins filled with sudden fury. Elliot didn’t know what he saying, he didn’t know anything! Why would he say something like that when he didn’t know anything about Seven and his guilt! With their body slightly shaking, they looked directly at Elliot’s eyes, a deep anger shown in their eyes, “You don’t know anything about Seven! You don’t deserve to say that when you don’t know! He’s tried to apologize to you! He’s tried to apologize to everyone too! Yet y-you guys don’t even acknowledge him!” They took a breathe, “Mr. Seven helps with many things! And I’m the only one to notice! You all just think he’s this exploiter that still terrorizes people, yet he isn’t. He’s a kind, caring person with his own sorrows! He’s taken responsibility. Why can’t you give him the chance?” Guest and Chance looked shocked to see Noob, a quiet, nervous person suddenly turn into this angry yet determined attitude. Elliot looked as shocked as the other two combined, mouth agape, eyes wide his body slightly shook. Noob seemed to snap out of their thoughts as they suddenly gasped, stumbling backwards before speaking, “S-sorry! I-I didn’t mean..It’s j-just tha-“ A large and loud groan made itself known from 007n7’s cabin.
Noob immediately turned around and pounced at the door, knocking frantically, “007n7!? Hello? Are you in there!? Are you okay, we can hear you in pain!!” Guest, Chance and Elliot made their own way over too, watching as Noob’s nervousness turned into a full on panic, their pleas turning into desperation; Guest made his way towards Noob, he quickly yet softly pulled Noob off of 7n7’s door. “Wait Noob, I’ll get the door opened, but step back, the three of you.” A quiet, yet commanding voice, Elliot and Chance pulled back right away, Chance having to grab Noob just as Guest charged at the door, splinters flew as a sharp crack filled the silent air, minus Seven’s? groans of pain. Noob shoved through Guest, calling 007n7’s name while looking around the main part of the cabin.
The cabin looked worn inside too, darkened with little decoration, a mere lamp sat beside his bed, which was the most decorated part. His bed was covered with many blankets, large and thick, as well as thinner ones, 3 pillows sat, and looked heavily worn out, the biggest problem was the blood. Claw marks were scored across the pillows, the walls around his bed were also covered with claws, large gashes littering the old wood, fresh and dried blood sat on the blankets, as well as the floor. It was almost like a giant monster had come in and destroyed everything in Seven’s cabin, the destruction wasn’t just in his bedroom part, it was everywhere, the walls were clawed out, there were clothes thrown around the space, the windows looked like they’d been bashed into. As they looked around a loud yelp of fear came near the washroom of 7’s cabin. When they made it there, Noob stood frozen, body trembling, eyes shaking in fear. Guest poked his head through first, a sharp gasp leaving his throat, Elliot and Chance nervously looked over too; their reactions were the same. 007n7? Or supposedly him, hunched painfully over the sink; his body trembled heavily as if it couldn’t hold itself upright, blood red fur made itself known, patterns of dark shades of red scoring on him. His horns has twisted into themselves, his ears were longer and sharp, soft fur covering them, his tail had lengthened and thickened, extremely whip sharp at the end; his hoofed feet had become claw like, sharp and thick, his hands changed drastically, the normal soft hands with sheath-able claws became large, long claws. His figure was extremely larger than normal, much bulkier than usual, his hair had lengthened and grown out like a mane, his face was hidden from the small group of survivors. “007n7..?” Noob asked quietly, they saw Seven’s stance stiffen, ears flicking before he turned around, sharp yellow eyes with a slight glint of amber stared at the survivors, recognition was nowhere in sight.
Chance and Elliot coward slightly, Guest merely looked shocked, Noob on the other hand was distraught, grief shown on their face, “7n7..? What happened to you?” Noob began to reach out a hand hesitantly, shaking slightly, 007n7 letting out a small growl, a growl of warning. His shoulder fur bristled slightly, raising, his eyes furrowed in distrust, arching defensively yet Noob continued to attempt to approach him; Elliot saw Guest tense suddenly as he lunged forward, “Noob! Don’t get near him!” Noob jumped back a bit, frightened, Seven lunged forward aggressively, mouth opened wide to show great sharp teeth. Noob felt themself get knocked back by Guest before a harsh cry of pain hit their ears, Seven was biting down onto Guest’s arm, blood seeped through the bite, dripping to the ground. 007n7 snarled angrily, his large claws digging into the soldier’s shoulders, tail lashing; Elliot, Chance and Noob only looked on in horror, “Someone help him!” Elliot shouted, “Chance get your gun out! Shoot him!” He gripped Chance’s shoulder as Chance themself fumbled around, looking for the revolver of theirs.
A sudden grunt from Guest came as he began to wrestle 007n7 off of him, Seven letting out a hiss like sound before hooking his claws around Guest, putting him in a tightened position. Chance was still loading their gun, the bullets accidentally tumbling out, an unfortunate moment of unluckiness striking, Guest continued to battle 7n7, landing a hit as he stumbled harshly into a wall, Seven letting out a mere groan, before regaining balance and striking again. “Hurry up Chance!” Elliot yelled back to the gambler, “I’m trying! I’m having a really unlucky time right now!” 007n7 jumped back onto Guest, clawing at his neck. Noob and Elliot got up to try to pry the beast off of him, but to no avail yet; “Look out guys!” Chance had yelled out before an explosion like sound came, Guest yelled painfully as Seven yelped painfully, a thick thump was heard shortly after.
Guest breathed heavily, kneeling down on the bloodied floor, Noob looked around to see 007n7, lying on the ground, eyes closed; blood seeped from the new wound on his shoulder. “007n7!” Noob slipped on the ground before reaching him, they began to slightly shake him, yet no response came. They then shook him harder, tears running down their face onto the furred body of the changed robloxian, silently sobbing and pleading, they felt a hand on their shoulder, Guest kneeled beside them. “Here, let’s help him up first, we can get him patched up in the main cabin.” Noob didn’t want to disturb the unconscious man, yet they knew if he stayed he’d merely bleed out or worse. Guest began to lift the beast up with struggle, Noob, Elliot and Chance came up to help him; they helped set the man onto his shoulders as they began their journey back to the main cabins. As they walked, Seven breathed eerily slowly, too slow for oxygen to actually get through; but before Noob could point it out, a sudden feeling of nausea hit them, they saw the others stiffen immediately. A round was starting.
