Then Before Now (Story)

=== Chapter one ===
I am Sam. I am no longer who I was before. I miss my friends. I cannot see nor write. They've changed me. I look like a monster, an ugly one. They've made me a living weapon, made for bloodshed. It's funny how I can't hug anyone. I'd stab them through their head and bodies. Can't get these things out of my face and arms. I just want to go home. I don't want to be this anymore. Once I'm fixed, I'll get my sweet revenge.
=== Chapter two ===
PAST TIME
The king of Nevada sits down on his chair with a wide smiles full of joy. He smiles at all his servants and citizens, waving in the process. One day, he walks to his room to look around. He finds a cup of water on the side of his room, waiting to be sipped down by The king Sympathy. Sympathy laughs and picks it up, thinking one of his servants just forgot to hand him his cup of water. He gulps it down till nothing is left. He sits down on his bed before getting a terrible ache in his stomach. The pain moves from his legs and too his arms, then last his head, the worst spot. He moaned and groaned in pain, digging his claws into his side. He walks up to his window to see the night sky. He blinks hard away tears in thoughts of death. That's when he felt something in his throat. He vomits a black liquid on the floor, it also getting all over his fancy uniform. He looks down at his hands that were covered in the black liquid. He screamed in horror, backing away as it formed into a tall and slim creature. It stared down at him as Sympathy's eyes began to blur. He gives up. He lays his head down, covering his face. He feels the slim creatures head touch him and the black liquid covering his whole body. 
=== Chapter three ===
Antipathy opens his eyes. He looks around his room in confusion, while also feeling different. He looks down at his hands to see that they were shaking. He stares, somewhat smiling. He gets up in a slow motion, noticing that the rest of his body was shaking, but not to much. Then it hits him. He yearns for bloodshed, and only bloodshed. He laughs, putting his hand over his face, digging his claws into his head. He bled a little, but he didn't care. He turns to his closet. He walks over and picks up a large axe that was only touched by the formal king. His father. He grabs it and swings it around. A servant comes into the room, holding a tray of tea. He jumps back. "Sir Sympathy, your tea and-" His head was cut straight off with just a slash of Symapthy's axe. "My name is no longer Sympathy. YOU MAY CALL ME ANTIPATHY" He laughs, picking up the body and throwing it out of the window, breaking the window in the process. "You and will friends will all crumble into NOTHING"
=== Chapter four ===
PREASNT TIME
Three Robloxians, and two Increidman were walking down a hill covered in bones of lost lives. The tallest of the group, an Incrediman named Choir was studying a map. It was quite hard to read due to the poor lighting and dirt on the map. He tries to swipe away a bit of dust "This is almost impossible to read! Nevada is one heck of a place" A female Robloxian named Duality speaks up "I thought you were a deity of some kind. Thought y'all knew everything!!" Choir rolls his eye "Not everything, Duality." He pats her head and continues to read the map. Despair groans "We need to find shelter. I dunno if you guys heard but, there's another Increidman here. An experimental Increidman deity" Duality makes a puzzled look. "Uh? What's a experimental Incrediman deity? Some kind of like, demi-god?" Choir speaks up, putting his hands behind his back "An experimantal Increidman deity, or just Increidman, is one who is created by hand, and not by reproduction. This kind is somewhat a lethal species of Increidman." Duality nods "Neat." Emotive frowns "Y'all, I found something" He points over to the distance Despair frowns "Holy...a facility" They all don't hesitate to enter
=== Chapter five ===
Choir bursts open the door with his hand, with the group being welcomed with pure darkness. Alto frowns and steps back "It's so damn dark!? I'm going home-" Choir puts a hand in front of Alto's face, stopping him in his tracks. His long sharp claws were out, as if they were saying there's no turning back now, Alto Alto sighs "If we all die, it's not my fault. It's gonna be dads." They all walk in together. Darkness surrounds them, along with the sound of a chainsaw. Duality laughs "Hahaha..! Somebody must have left their chainsaw on..!" Despair nods and holds Duality's hand, looking a bit worried "Yeah..maybe they did.." It sounds like the chainsaw was walking. By itself when they weren't taking a single step. Trouble was ahead of them. Lots, of trouble 
=== Chapter six ===
Everyone stayed close to each other, all seemingly scared. But Choir? He seemed perfectly fine, and not even scared. The more they walked, the more dark it became, and the louder the chainsaw became. That's when Choir spoke "I suggest that we all split up" Everyone stares in shock at Choir, Despair walking over "ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US KILLED? I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU INCREDIMAN-!" Duality grabs him and pulls him back "Shhh, it's okay hun he's not trying to kill us, but I disagree with what he said." Choir rolls his eyes "Not all of us Incrediman are sketchy. Just saying" Despair sighs "I better be able to trust you, okay Choir?" Choir nods. They keep walking. That's when they saw a large room with stairs that led up to the top. Despair looks at Duality, who looks at Emotive, who looks at Choir, who lastly, looks at Alto. Alto "What are you all looking at?" Choir sighs and walks in "In here. There must be something we could find." They all follow along
=== Chapter seven ===
The stairs were covered in dirt, everything was not clean at all. Emotive started to look around a few rooms, finding useless items and such. Despair decided to do the same, along with Duality. They couldn't hear the chainsaw, so they knew they were safe. As the ventured deeper into the room, they saw something large run past, knocking items over in front of them. Despair froze and held Duality's hand "What, what was that..." Duality "I have no idea." They keep walking. A few minutes later, they hear sobbing. Despair looks up at an instant "Someone is crying. Lets go" They run as fast as they can to the noise. Eventually, they find the sobbing being. She was large, black with white patterns, a long tail, and a visor with a white nose, eyes, and mouth. She turns to them and pauses. She gets up slowly, her hands shaking. That's when she smiled "ARE YOU GUYS...ROBLOXIANS?" She runs over, putting her paws behind their heads, petting them "Oh my...oh my lord... Are you guys alright? Are you lost?" Despair frowns "No, actually, we're here with others. Who are you?" She gets up, putting his paws behind her back "M-my names Venomama. Who are you guys?" "My names Duality" Duality says, putting her hand on her hip "And this is my boyfriend Despair. We just found this place" Venomama nods "Well I cant tell you something. It ain't safe here. Y'all need to find a place out, soon"
=== Chapter eight ===
Despair nods "It's pretty easy to tell this place isn't safe and full of dangers. We heard this chainsaw sound, and it sounds like it's moving all by itself, we don't know what that is!" Venomama frowns "Chainsaw Sam" The Robloxians shoot each other worried looks "Chainsaw Sam...? Who now...?" Venomama takes in a deep breath "His real name is Sam, but you see...he's been destroyed, his arms and face, chainsaw's are dug deep inside them. I've seen him once, and I don't want to go through that, again, ever. It was almost death for me." She looks away, a sad expression on her face "And I, I can't leave this place because...he's always there." A wave of panic goes through Duality's whole body "We can't leave?" Venomama nods, clutching her paws tight "I'm so sorry...you never should have come here." Venomama breaks down in a sobbing mess again, hugging herself. Despair walks over and pats her head. "Hey, it's okay. We'll find out a way to get outta here. Together." Venomama smiles and hugs him "Thank you, thank you, thank you!! It's an honor to have you two here." Duality smiles "Happy to help." Venomama gets up from the floor and brushes her hair out of her visor. "Now, where are your friends?" "Follow us" Despair says as he takes Venomama's and Dualitys hands, and paws.
=== Chapter nine ===
They all meet up back with Choir Alto and Emotive after a few minutes, the Chainsaw Sam seemingly getting louder. Choir bowed to Venomama, kissing her hand. She steps back and looks at Despair "He's an old timey person or something...?" Despair nods, letting out a giggle as well. Choir growls "Do not DARE to call me that" "Okay, sorry, sir." Choir smiles. They heard the sound of an object falling over, and tearing apart. It was Chainsaw Sam, in the other side of the room
=== Chapter ten ===
Everyone stood still in place, not moving. Despair looked at Duality, taking a deep breath as he took her hand, clutching it tightly. They see what appears to be a chainsaw, walking past their door. No one said a word, until Alto accidently dropped a heavy knife. Everyone's heads turn to him. He winces and shrugs "sorry" He whispers, but moments later, Chainsaw Sam came bursting through the door, thrashing its arms everywhere. Despair grabs Duality, running as fast as possible, letting Choir and Venomama do their job. Alto came running over with Emotive to Duality and Despair. Choir stared at Chainsaw Sam, looking at Vemomama next "What the hell is that?! You lived with that thing!?" She laughs "Yeah, but this thing is fairly new. I mostly live with those annoying Noivisren." Choir frowns "Novisren?" "I'll tell you about that later." She pounces on Chainsaw Sam, digging her claws into his back.
=== Chapter eleven ===
Chainsaw Sam throws himself all over the room, body-slamming Choir and Venomama both, sending them almost flying. Choir landed on the ground, covering a scratch on his shoulder "Feisty Robloxian. It's not the best to fight an Incrediman deity, stupid shit." Chainsaw Sam seemed quite offended, but refused to stop fighting. He stabbed one of his chainsaws into Choir arm, making it bleed out fountains of blood. He hissed and fell over. Venomama gasped, picking him up and dragging him away. She threw Choir to the other side of the room where a medikit was, motioning him to use it on himself. "I'll finish then fight! You stay here and heal, okay?" Choir nods, wincing in a bit of pain. Venomama runs out of sight, brining two black axes out. Choir watches. A little worried for her.
=== Chapter twelve ===
Despair, Duality, Alto and Emotive were still waiting for Venomama and Choir. holding their breaths. They hear Venomama, fighting off Chainsaw Sam as hard as she could. But could they hear Choir? No. They all couldn't. That's why Alto was a bit more worried then the other three. "What if he killed dad? What if he's gone forever and will never come back? Is this how he'll leave me...?" Alto covers his face with his hands. His hands were shaking in fear. Duality walks over and puts a hand on his shoulder, rubbing it, trying to bring as much comfort as she could. "He'll be alright. Your dad is one strong man. Look at all that armor he's got! Looks unbreakable." Alto smiles and wipes away tears that were forming in his eyes "Maybe he will be alright. Just maybe. But I hope so." Duality smiles at him and gets up. That's when the room became quiet. All they could hear was the sound of themselves breathing. Duality looks at Despair, who looks at Emotive. Who shrugs. "Maybe he's dead. Or something." Emotive says as he picks himself off the floor. Despair holds up a hand. "Everyone. Stay calm. I don't know what happened but someone needs to go see. And that someone is me. Emotive. Take care of Alto and Duality. Duality. Please stay safe. And that goes to the rest of you." He walks off without another word.
=== Chapter thirteen ===
Despair walks slowly around the building, taking careful steps as he went. He saw jars of creatures insides, bones and more. Despair looked away from them, already feeling sick just to the horrid smell. A door opened slightly behind Despair. He was not aware. He didn't even notice it. He stepped into another room. It had a bed, a side table, jars, chairs, and more. A blade caught his eye. He stared at it, it's blade was long and sharp. It looked almost like a chainsaw. He looked behind him and left and right. As he started to walk in, he closed the door behind him. The door closed, but it was unbearably loud. He winced in hopes of no one hearing him. He turned his head back to the blade and begin to walk closer to it. He put his hand over the handle, admiring of how good it looked. He clamped his hand around the handle, picking it up into the air. It shined into the room light, showing Despair's reflection. Despair smiled. But in the reflection of the blade, he saw someone standing by the door. He frowned and looked towards the door. They were hiding in the shadows. Despair laughed nervously as he stepped towards the person. "Heyyy, sooo. Who are you and what are you doing here. Are you someone I know, or are you someone I don't know?" They don't answer. Despair frowns and tries again. "Hello?" Then all oft he sudden, the sound of a chainsaw sounds in the room. Despair knew exactly who it was now.
=== Chapter fourteen ===
Despair takes long steps back. Clutching the blade tightly in his hand. Chainsaw Sam stepped forwards, showing off his chainsaws. Despair pressed himself against a wall, breathing hard, his hands shaking, the blade, still held firmly in his sweaty palm. An idea came to mind. Despair looked at Chainsaw Sam, who was beginning to run fast towards him. Despair raised his blade and slashed Chainsaw Sam's chest with it. Blood spilled on the floor, a long fountain of red liquid. Chainsaw Sam was frozen in place. But he wasn't weak enough to surrender. He roared, charging towards Despair at high speeds. He aimed for his arm. The chainsaw tore parts off his arm. The pain burned in Despair's arm, blood spewing out from all the cuts. Despair felt dizzy in seconds. He put his working arm's hand on his head. He fell back. Chainsaw Sam stepped closer once more, thrashing his chainsaws at him with blind eyes. Despair knew this was the end for him. He'll never be seen again by any of his friends. He'd never be seen again by his future wife. He hoped that Duality will be a great wife for someone. He closed his eyes as he heard the chainsaws come closer. Moments later, all was silent. Despair opened an eye.
=== Chapter fifteen ===
Despair looked around frantically the room. He felt around his own body to feel that he was not wounded in any spots. Someone pats his head "You were almost a goner. Be grateful I saved you." Despair smiles "Choir?" He laughs, putting a hand over his head. "Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I can't thank you enough" Choir rolls his eyes, grabbing Despair's arm and pulling him back up to his feet. Despair notices Chainsaw Sam at the corner of the room. A pool of dark red blood mixed with black was underneath him. He wasn't breathing, which was good for the two. Despair looks at Choir "What did you do to him? What happened? Was I asleep?" Choir shakes his head "You were awake the whole time. Just that your eyes were closed. You thought you heard your organs spilling out of yourself, but really, that was Sam the whole time." Despair nods "Mhm..." He holds up his blade. "Well, I found this." Choir eyes it. He nods and takes it slowly. "You could use this for the future. It could come in use." "That's why I'm keeping it, idiot." He grabs it back. "I think we should head back now. The others are probably worried." Choir nods and turns to the door, leaving the room with Chainsaw Sam still in it 
=== Chapter sixteen ===
Choir and Despair walk through room to room. It was clear that they didn't know their way back. Choir scratches the back of his head, sighing. "I think we can retrace our steps. Maybe we can smell out the sent of the others." Despair nudges Choir's arm "I don't have great sense of smell you big idiot." "That is the second time you called me an idiot. You should watch your tone, and be more careful. You don't know what could happen when you're walking with an Incrediman deity." Despair rolls his eyes behind Choir's back "My arm burns. The chainsaws tore through it." Choir pats Despair's head "You'll be okay. If we head back to the others fast enough, maybe we can find a doctor." "You're not a lot of help you know Choir." "Whatever" Says Choir as he walks down a staircase. More then about 30 minutes later, they heard the voices of their friends around the corner. Despair groans in relief. Choir bursts open the door leading to the room they were in "Hello. We're back with an injured Robloxian. Duality dashes towards Despair in a panic. "Despair! Are you okay-? Your arm!" She stares and looks up Despair "What happened? And what's that weapon you have on your hip?" Despair smiles "Don't worry hun. I'm fine." Duality grabs a few bandages from a medkit that Venomama had in her arms. "It's a bit bloody, but I think it'll be fine." She kisses it. Emotive raises a hand "Now that we have everyone, can we go now?" Everyone nods "I wanna go home..." Says Alto in misery.
=== Chapter seventeen ===
Venomama leads them around the building. She knew how to get around anyway. Venomama looks at the group. "Right around that corner. It's the exit" They all walk around the exit. Emotive opens the door to the exit. They were welcomed by the night sky. Emotive looks at them "I think we're safe to go" Alto jumps out of the building, kissing the ground as they finally exited. "Thank goodness we're finally out." Choir rolls his eyes "Alto. Silence." "Ugh, fine." Alto gets up and crosses his arms. They all start walking around the plains of Nevada. It was somewhat cold, but they managed not to complain about it. Emotive stares out in the distance. "I think I way see a pond in the distance. Not too far, but I think we'll be able to get a drink there." "Perfect. It's been a while since I've eaten or even had a drink. Getting a bit weak, you see." They reach the pond. There was a small island in the middle, and Choir decided to sit on it.
=== Chapter eighteen ===
It was kind of a nice thing, seeing Choir sit down on a island. Despair and Duality sat down together. Despair turns his head to Duality "It's been a while since we've sat down together. Alone." Duality nods "I miss that a lot. Remember when we went star gazing together one night?" He laughs. It was a good memory that they had together. "Yeah. Maybe we should do that again. You know, when all this chaos ends." She puts a hand on his. She clutches it tight and stares up at the stars. "I wanna go home. Just like Alto said. What happened? What happened to Sympathy?" Despair shakes his head "I-I just don't know." He sighs and looks away "Do you know what I'm grateful for, Duality?" She shakes her head. "I don't know." "I'm grateful that I have you by my side, everyday I think about it and smile. I'm grateful to have friends like Emotive, Alto, Venomama, and Choir. But he can be a bit of a jerk. You know how he is." She laughs and hugs him tightly "Yeah, I get what you mean hun. But you know what I'm grateful for? That you are in my life." Despair smiles wider then he already was. "Right now, we could have been sitting together and camping. If only, if only we could do that." Duality nods "But right now, we got people to save"
=== Chapter nineteen ===
It was about an hour after everyone was done resting near the pond. Choir stood up from where he was standing. "Everyone. I may have a place we could stay in. It's quite cold, but you can mange. It is called the Toybox Universe, and I sense that my son, is there." "Your son?" Despair says as he picks himself and Duality off the ground. Choir nods, turning his head away and balling up his fist. "I sense that he doing something awful." Emotive crosses his arms and shakes his head with an angry look on his face. "Lets go there, if it's so safe. And maybe we could go kill your son." Choir picks up Alto's arm, brining him to his feet. "Lets go, shall we?" "Anything to just get out of this hell!" Duality sigh. She holds her boyfriends hand and smiles at him. "Come on, hun, lets go follow the others." Venomama, Choir, Alto, Duality, Despair, and Emotive enter a portal that Choir created. Choir looks at all of them and nods. He steps in. The others follow inside with him.
