Chapter Text
The game had just started but things weren't going well for the red demon child
c00lkidd wasn't feeling too good and it was affecting his playtime. Making him slow in chasing the others, even his speed override wasn't fast enough to tag anyone. c00lkidd's abilities keep messing up whenever he tried to use them which annoyed him. At some point his abilities wouldn't work at all. Then c00lkidd noticed that something was wrong with the map. Buildings kept disappear and re-appear only in different locations. Some areas of the map were just missing in general.
The whole thing was a mess. c00lkidd felt a 'pang' in his heart. He knew he wasn't going to win this round and that made him sad. He hoped that at least he could tag his dad. c00lkidd wanted to give his father a huge hug before the game ends but it seems like that wasn't going to happen either, he would have to settle for tagging the yellow person in the blue sweater.
c00lkidd was so focused on tagging survivor, he didn't realize that someone was behind him, ready to fire. A loud 'BANG' echoed behind him.
He got hit but this time it felt... different
It hurts; IT REALLY HURTS!
c00lkidd couldn't understand what was happening. One second, he was reaching out ready to tag the survivor only for a massive wave of pain to hit him. He felt something warm go down his body. looking down to see the large amounts of red leaving the small hole in his stomach. he knew that owies could led to bleeding, but he never had an owie like this.
It hurts so bad; c00lkidd fell to the ground, curl up as tight as he could hoping for the pain to stop... but it didn't. IT ONLY HURTS MORE!
He kept wailing, looking around for someone, anyone to help him but...
No one came
There was only one person he could call out for
"DAAAADDDdddd....."
He desperately wanted his dad right now, he was scared and cold, maybe a hug from dad will make him feel better, it always seemed to work before.
__________________________________________________________________
How could it all go so wrong. It was supposed to be a normal round. The same routine, the same expectations, the same fears of death, the same looks his teammates would give him. Being treated like he didn't exist was normal. This was his normal routine. Everything was supposed to be the same... but this wasn't supposed to happen.
007n7 was just trying to work on a generator, trying to get it done as fast as possible. He wasn't a sentinel nor was he a support; he was a survivalist. 7n7's abilities were created for his personal benefits; how selfish of him. The only way he could help the team as a survivalist was to work on the generators. The one thing his group trusted him with.
Yet, it was a round with c00lkidd. His heart desperately wanted to see his son, so bad, but his mind always held him back. Telling him in cruel whispers that he had to stay and be useful by finishing up the generator, it was hard to focus though due to all the glitches that have been going on. It made him worry for c00lkidds' safety even if he was the killer. Anything could happen but not this.
Chance was supposed to stun c00lkidd, STUN HIM but something went terribly wrong
007n7 could hear someone fall close by, maybe Chance's gun exploded on them again, it's been happening a lot lately. whimpers were heard triggering 007n7's parental instincts.
He stopped working on the generator. his body felt like it was on auto pilot. Those cries that he had conditioned himself to react to ever since he became a father. His body shouldn't be acting like this; this only happens when c00lkidd-
"DAAAADDDdddd....."
That wasn't the sound of a murderous maniac on the loose, no, it was the sound of his sweet boy.

Without thinking 007n7 ran, leaving the generator unfinished. He didn't care about his team being mad at him later, that didn't matter, not to him. Only c00lkidd mattered in this moment. 7n7 stumbled and slipped but didn't stop running. His body reacted to the adrenaline running through his veins, making him faster. 7n7 needed to find him, quickly. His nose catching scent of something metallic.
Following it, hoping that he was right, that it was Chance bleeding after their gun blew up. Oh, how he hoped and hoped as he got closer. The metallic smell only becoming stronger while the whimpers were dying down. he just had to turn one more corner to see what awaits him.
Praying that he was wrong. With another swift turn he witnessed what laid before him. The one thing he never wanted to see again.
c00lkidd laying on the ground, surrounded in his own blood

"C00LKIDD" 7n7 ran over to the little red demon not caring if the blood got on him. Scooping up the child in his arms. No matter how big c00lkidd got he would always fit perfectly in 007n7's arms.
The Spectre may have given c00lkidd a disfigured adult body but to Seven, kidd was still his 10-year-old self. Holding on tight Seven could feel the child's breathing become weaker with every second.
"I'm here...I'm here baby, daddy's right here you're going to be okay kiddo just hold on okay... please..."
His pleading went unheard, overlapped by his tearful begging. He held his son's body tight. Almost hoping that his own warmth would wake up c00lkidd. Maybe a twitch, maybe a shutter, just something to let 007n7 know his son was alive... but there was nothing.
his baby was dead in his arms
__________________________________________________________________
The other survivors slowly came out of hiding, realizing something was wrong. Each made their way to the sound of crying. Watching the scene playing before them. A father holding his dead child.
The survivors didn't know how to react to this. On one hand they were all happy that the killer was no more, but on the other hand a parent hugging their dead child's corpse wasn't something they could easily look away from.
Even though most didn't like 007n7 they couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards him in that moment. Guest 1337 sympathized the most because he too is a father and to lose your child was the worst thing that could ever happen to a parent. Guest was the only one to approach the grieving father. Placing a firm but warm hand on 007n7 shoulder as a way to comfort him. They stayed like that for a moment allowing the father cry in silence.
Guest 1337 looked up at the timer realizing that the round was almost over. Gently he shook 007n7's shoulder to get his attention but to no avail. Seven stayed still, never once did he look away from the body, arms now gently rocking it.
"7n7 I am sorry for your loss but... you have to let him go; the round is going to end soon" Guest waited for a response but nothing. Seven didn't look up nor did he move. Guest just sighed and turned to the rest of the survivors shaking his head to let them know that 7n7 wasn't complying.

Guest snapped his head back towards 7n7, their eyes meeting. Seven's eyes held no life to them; it was like staring into the eyes of the dead. Those eyes that will forever haunt Guest 1337. He couldn't look away, even if he wanted to; it was like he was stuck in a trance.
Guest snapped out of it when 007n7 looked back down. "I am truly sorry but there is nothing we can do you need to let him go" 007n7 stayed unresponsive leaving Guest with no other choice. He mentally apologized to Seven for what he was about to do. Guest grabbed 007n7 and began to pull him away from c00lkidd.

Seven let out a cry, being forced to let go of his child. 7n7 started resist, this only made Guest pull harder. During this Guest failed to notice that 7n7's c00lGUI popped out of nowhere. Glitched violently due of its CREATOR'S mental state.

Warning signs started to litter the screen before it violently cracked in half. It flickered for a bit before displaying a blue screen. Slowly it then descended into the ground where it was swallowed whole. Without warning Guest was violently shoved back by an outburst of energy.
More GUIs popped up around the map worpping it, bending it with the corrupted coding. Everything turned black with red 1s and 0s everywhere. The sky had turned red due to the mass corruption Everyone was stunned at what was going on. Noob went to help Guest up, both refused to look away from Seven.
All of the survivors couldn't look away. 7n7 remained in the center; unaffected by the changes going on around him. In denial of his son's death, 7n7 shrieked loudly similar to a banshee, screaming at the sky as if cursing it for what it has done. Causing it to crack like glass, letting more corruption slip in.
No one knew what to do as a second burst of energy flung everyone back. Everyone tried to grab onto something to not fly away as codes started to surround Seven like a tornado. 007n7s' own body started to react to the changes happening.
Slowly his body started to become a deep black with a red aura. Horns and a tail started to protrude out of his body. The Admins were shocked at what was happening. They have never seen 007n7 act like this before, he not even when he was an active exploiter. All they knew was that he shouldn't be able to do this, it wasn't possible.
The Specter had nerfed them all. "007N7 YOU NEED TO STOP!" Noob begged while holding on to Guest 1337. "PLEASE STOP YOU'RE GONNA TEAR THE MAP APART!" Builderman tried to shout while holding on to a nearby wall, somewhat scared of the destruction 007n7 was causing.
Their cries went unheard, Seven only screamed louder only now it was less human and more animalistic. Seven could only think of how he had failed c00lkidd. How he failed as person, as a teammate, as a father, the list could go on for eternity. There wasn't a day where 007n7 didn't blame himself for his sons' own disappearance, so many times he had wished that he could have changed c00lkidd's fate but now... it was too late.
He couldn't save his son and now he was being punished for his own incompetence. 007n7 didn't fight back, he didn't dare. Deep down he knew he deserved this. He deserved pain more than anything. Raising his hands, now turned into razor sharp claws, up to his face to tearing into his own flesh, cutting it, shredding it, even the feeling of his own blood didn't stop him. If he were to die here, it will be by his own hands.
That's thought alone... only made him dig deeper
The other survivors watched in horror as 007n7 continued this self-mudilate. Each forced to bear witness to this cruel sight, as if it was their own punishment for failing their teammate.
Chance wanted to throw up the pizza they ate earlier. Elliot wanted to cover his ear to block out the sound of flesh tearing apart and the inhuman wails. Two Time wanted to scream at 007n7 to stop but nothing came out.
None of them could do anything but watch as 7n7s' own blood mixed with his child. Not once did he stop his screaming. No one noticed that the timer had started to speed up from 1 min to now 5 seconds. The sky cracked into spider weds; the map became less and less while the energy became more intense.
007n7 let out a final scream

The timer struck zero
__________________________________________________________________
007n7 was the first one to wake up, realizing he was at the table. He was back at the cabin. Everyone else was still asleep. He got up quietly and exited fast. 7n7 wanted to be alone after what happened, after what he saw. He made his way to his own cabin.
His body felt as if it would collapse at any moment, yet he hesitated to turn the doorknob. his mind replaying everything that happened over and over. How c00lkidd was so close yet so far. His heart ached to fill in the emptiness his son took when he died. 7n7 was unable to move at all, what was the point of continuing to fight, what was the point of living, he was just so tired.
He wanted his son
Soft sounds of wailing snapped 007n7 out of it. The wailing was so familiar, too familiar and it was coming from inside his cabin. Without thinking Seven rushed in praying that what he was hearing was true.
Running to the living room to see a lump of blankets on the ground. Seven stared at it, not coming any closer. Unsure of what to do his actions changed immediately when something started to move around. Seven dropped to his knees to pick up the bundle. The crying stopped once he gently opened up the blanket.
He couldn't believe it; he was looking at c00lkidd. His sweet boy was back to being an infant. Holding the baby in one arm while the other was hovering above, close but not quite touching. His hand shook out of fear that this wasn't real, that this was some sick joke The Spectre is playing on 7n7 to break him.
The baby poked its little hand out to grab onto Seven's fingers. Slowly the baby opened his eyes. The child was warm, and its eyes were full of life. Seven unconsciously let his tears fall when c00lkidd stared up at him with those innocent eyes. It felt like an eternity was passing by as he stared right back.
It was like the first time he found c00lkidd. He couldn't help but smile at the fawned memory. "... hi" was the only thing he could muster out as his fingers caressed the back of c00lkidd's tiny hand with his thump memorizing the soft skin.
c00lkidd was really back and 007n7 couldn't help but giggle. He had gotten his wish. kidd started to laugh too. Not the monstrous laughter that haunted him every waking second, but the joyous laughter that he never thought he would hear again.
Seven cried more, but not out of sorrow but out of joy. He pressed his forehead against c00lkidd's. "Oh, my sweet baby, you're finally back, my sweet boy, never again, I'll never let you go again, I promise!" Seven cradled c00lkidd, scared that he would disappear at any moment but 007n7 wouldn't let that happen, never again.
