Corruption AU

an AU by TheWonderfulWolfy with a little collaboration with his friends who don't have a Fandom account

## the basic idea/summary/things to know i guess

the corruption that caused the minecraft crash that killed Gold escapes

(the simulation box thingy like explodes or something like that)

and other people start getting corrupted and yeah

Purple and Dark are the only ones who dont get corrupted and they both escape where they were and meet up and eventually Yellow helps them stop the corruption and so yes

the events of season 3 dont happen bcuz the corruption prevents MT from from being able to do alot of intense work and shady back alley trading and stuff

Purple and the CG had made amends in AvLoL and MT & Purple's parents knew each other so the two of them still live together.

MT still made the first staff, but doesn't have anything to put in it

## stages of the corruption (pretty much just more things to know)

* stage one- behaves normally or slightly more aggressive/irritable , sometimes with dark spots appearing on skin
* stage two- seems to fight with themself, dark spots continue to spread
* stage three- blind violence, speech distortion
* stage four- aggression dies down, but is still there, have completely lost the ability to speak normally
* stage five- confusion, heightened senses
* stage six- extremely heightened senses, nonverbal

## Chapter One

    Everything was a blur as Purple ran out of the house and down the street. Tears flooded their eyes and they looked around for somewhere to hide. They hadn’t locked everyone else in there because they didn’t want them to feel trapped in there.

      Pounding on the door.

  Maybe that wasn’t the best idea.

  Purple tried to clear their mind and go forward to try to find a place, but the constant banging on the front door, the rhythmic attempts to break through and follow them filled everything, not letting them focus on anything except the sound, so they just half ran, half stumbled down the street as fast as they could.

  “I’m dead, I’m so dead,” they muttered to themself. They then sat down on the sidewalk to catch their breath.

 “Hey, kid! What are you doing out here?”

 The voice was familiar. Purple looked up.

          \*  \*            \*           \*                \*                \*         \*            \*  \*

 Dark was surprised that Purple was outside, running so fast. It had been a long time since the two of them had seen each other. Purple must’ve been 9 years old when they last met.

 Why are they out here during all this chaos? Dark asked himself. He took a step closer to Purple to make sure it was them and asked why they were outside on the street. Purple looked up.

 “I couldn’t stay in the house,” they shouted to Dark. “They all lost their minds.”

Dark hesitated for a moment before running across the street, which, thankfully, didn’t have any cars driving on it, over to the sidewalk Purple was sitting on.

 “Who, and what’s going on with them?” he asked Purple, down on his knees with a hand on Purple’s shoulder.

 Purple thought for a second.

 “Pretty much everyone, and they’re acting like psychos and trying to kill everything.” they said after a moment of hesitation. “I mean, Yellow’s fine, but they have this black spot on their hand and one of their eyes is all black.”

 “So it’s pretty much just you left?”

 “Um…” Purple started to reply, but they then looked up and saw someone infected with the corruption shakily walking and stumbling, tripping over their own feet, down the road. Panic immediately took over and they ran.

 Dark almost let them go. He almost just let them go fend for themself, but he decided not to. He knew that they’d be helpless, clueless, running so fast they’d run right into their death. So he ran after them.

                   \*  \*            \*           \*                \*                \*         \*            \*  \*

 Terrified, panicked, Purple ran. They didn’t even remember why they were running. They just kept going. They didn’t stop. Not until they ran into the wall of a building. Waves of pain going through their body, Purple staggered back, took one look at the building they had just crashed into, and sprinted inside. They darted into the nearest room and almost immediately collapsed on the floor.

 Purple heard the sound of someone talking, opened their working eye, adjusted the patch over where the other one used to be, and pulled themself up into a sitting position. The person turned around in her chair.

 “Where’d you come from?” the chair lady asked. “And where are your parents?”

Purple let out a whimper and then stayed silent.

 “Where are your parents?” Chair Lady asked again.

 Purple took a deep breath.

 “Dead,” they answered quietly.

     \*   \*            \*          \*               \*              \*        \*            \*     \*

 Chair Lady didn’t know how to respond. The kid didn’t look any older than 14, and even that was a stretch. Having no parents when all the chaos was going on, they wouldn’t last much longer.

 “I’m 16 and I’ve survived worse,” Purple said, seemingly reading Chair Lady’s mind. They stood up kind of awkwardly. Chair Lady shifted uncomfortably. She could tell the kid was observing her, trying to see what was going on with her.

 Chair Lady stood up.

 Dark came running through the door.

 “Don’t touch them!”

 Dark’s voice was sharp and loud. Purple flinched at the tone.

“Sorry,” he said to Purple, a bit quieter. “Just… come with me.”

 Purple nodded and the two of them walked quietly out of the building.

 “You promise you’ll stick with me and not die until someone finds a way to get rid of this corruption?” Dark asked when they were outside.

 “If you promise,” Purple said in response.

 “I promise.”

 “Then I promise.”
