Madness Arcade

We snuck out of the cottage and into the murky and gray streets of RaidenBerg. Gunz casually making fun of people passing by, this isn't surprising if you knew what he was like before.... All this, but he seems pretty tame compared to now.. But my opinion changed, when he used his powers to grab a lipstick from a stranger's purse, put stains on a man's neck, and grabbed the man's scarf away from the man, the couple of course thought the wind was responsible for the scarf falling off, but the woman took a glance at the man's neck and in light speed; they had an almighty argument!! I glanced and pouted at Gunz, Who was just laughing at them, before he glanced back at me "Suck it up, Shortcake! Now stop looking at me like a piglet in pig shit and let's go!" I rolled my eyes sarcastically at this lunatic "Oh yeah, sure.. "

We continued our way until he dragged me by the collar and forcefully dragged me two steps back, he dragged me so hard I nearly slipped, he looked at me and pointed towards a pharmacy "What are you doing??"

He was so strucked with nostalgia and sorrow, he couldn't say a thing, it was like he was looking at a place that was destroyed once and never built again, it was like he was looking at a huge giant castle filled with memories.. The neon lights of the arcade sign and the crooked lettering.. It brought a sense of happiness and.. Sorrow.. It was like he was drowning in a pool of good memories he can't have anymore.. His face softened with childish wonder, and he looked at me "I used ruled this place.. This arcade.. I remember this bitch ass named Viktor, he would always one up me whenever he loses.. And when he did, he got a knuckle sandwich and a black eye.." he let's out a low chuckle before continuing "He'd always tryna fight me, he liked my ex-girlfriend, Penny.. Penny was the coolest girl I ever knew, she'd.. She'd.. She'd fucking win almost every sport or fight... In. Every fight she'd start and finish it." he said with a look of longing.. But with the sting of bitterness.

"And, She'd have this fucking remorseless.. Resting bitch face.." He crossed his arms and looked very bitter about Penny, I heard a bit of her, she wasn't very nice people said, like Gunz, they're like the butter and jam, the marshmallows and hot chocolate.. They were perfect for each other.. He sighs and continues.. His voice becoming more sarcastic and contempt "She looks like got rolled over by a bus and the doctors had to revive her with an ozempic until she woke, and a bird pissed all over her hair!" Well... That's a.. Rather fast shift?? A rather creative description of her?? He kept chuckling until his voice lowered in sorrow

"You still lied about her though.." he snickers, and I sighed "I know.. I did; I just.. Wanted to comfort—" "It's Okay.. I get it, nobody's gonna care.. I've always known that she'd never give two shits about me.." I kinda feel bad for this guy.. He's not as much as an asshole as he used to be.. Maybe.. He never really was at all?

"Well.. If it... Makes you feel good? Let's get inside and fuck up the arcade??" He chuckled bitterly.. But he complied surprisingly "lead the way, shortcake."

So I opened the door to the arcade.. The place was filled with neon lights, all flickering in a pattern: red, blue, yellow, green, red, blue, yellow, green and so on.. I could smell the stench of sweat and the heavy scent of junk food; and many of said junk food is making cracking and crunching noises below my feet, the kids and teens are playing games, such as shooting games, where a player has to hit an opponent in a war zone in VR.

Some are dancing on dancing games, they look rather competitive as their feet barely touched the ground nor make any mistakes, and some grown discord-mod looking ass, playing some girls game with the characters being little girls in it, Yikes! Better watch out for those! A kid can be heard yelling and rage-quitting at the corner, the kid was playing a racing game.. Gunz, being Gunz dragged me to his favorite game in the arcade.

"This is called Legends of Dethrone! Battle Buttz It's a game where you PVP other virgin losers and beat the shit outta them!" I chuckled at the title "Battle... Butts??" he then scoffed with offense and a lingering threat poses in his voice "Battle Buttz! Get it right!" To be frank, that doesn't sound any better. "What is it about??" "Well my good friend—It's about fighting to the death!!!"

 "But.. I'm not so good at these types of games.. I usually like horror games with puzzles.." I fiddled my fingers, and he rolled his eyes "Too bad doll-face.. But I can show you something super cool??" I raised my brow "Possession?!" his face dropped and shot me with a deadpan stare.. With a hint of..worry? "Shortcake... You're way too excited for that, it's almost concerning, but.. Yeah.. It is." I clapped my hands in excitement, some kids looked at me as if I was a lunatic.. Well, they should've seen Freddy.. Speaking of him.. I really wonder how he's been..

I really want to see him, I miss him.. A lot.. A lot!!! A lot more than you can think of! I miss his lullabies.. His laughter.. I miss that he'd protect me.. But, before I could think about my beloved older brother some more.. I could feel a heavy weights pulling me away from my own body; it felt like getting out of the pool after several hours of being there.. It felt like I was being pulled out from an unbearably long hug, the coldness and warmth slowly leaving my body in ecstasy, I could feel my heart stop beating and in a weird way.. I felt so.. Relieved.. For no reason, I just felt.. In many ways.. Free, there; I could see my own.. My own body, and this time.. I'm the one who's floating!!!

This is so terrifying and amazing!! Oh. My. Goodnes!!! "Gunz! Gunner! Gunny! I'm floating!!! Gunz?" When I looked at him.. Well.. At me.. But he's in my body so it's just him inside my body.. The face he made with my own face looked so locked in for some reason.. So.. So focused and unbothered.. And.. Bitter?? I looked at the left and saw.. Penny, his ex-girlfriend, she had this cold unbothered face, it was beautiful but.. Really intimidating.. She had the sharpest eyeliner known to man, and she had pale hairless skin, and dark ebony hair that was tied into an uncombed ponytail.. "Gunz.. Gunz!" I tried to talk to him, but she caught his attention first "Hey, Dolly right?" as she spoke. I choked in my own saliva.

"Gunz! Listen to me! Just because you possessed my body. Doesn't mean you can do anything stupid—" "Yeah! Yeah that's me, why the fuck you in my territory whorelet?" I... Was crying, flat out sobbing on my knees, wailing and screaming like a little baby.. I could feel my soul trembling in emotional agony as I die in second hand embarrassment.

"GUNZ!!! For the love of God!!!! Why did you do that?! Why?! Tell me why before I sing tell me why?! WHY!?" I continued to sob before I heard another sentence from Penny "That was rather rude, don't you think? You should respect your elders young lady." her voice was stern and monotonous.. Gunz smirked impishly "What about, you respect yourself first? Oh! wait?? You can't do that? Of course, you can't," He laughed heartily "you're too busy sleeping and fucking seventeen other guys like the little slut you are, so how about I shove those words up your ass since that ass can't go on a second without getting dicked down?"

"Gunz!! Not. In. My. Body!!!" I cried out to him; Penny, who is rightfully confused at this point and pissed, from her perspective, this random small girl she barely knew, she knows her ex's best friend knows this tiny person, and said person is calling her the most derogatory shit and degrading her very existence, mind you.. In her mind, this is our first interaction! First!!!

"Hey. Dolly, how about we.. 1V1 each other on that game you're playing??" "Go ahead bitch.." the edges of his mouth went up in a devilish grin, as I panicked and screamed "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!" Goddammit Gunz!! I know she's your ex—but dude, not in my tiny body!! That bitch can basically one-shot me in a real fight!!! I have asthma! Don't do this to meeeeee!!!

I wept in vain as the game starts, He chose PicklePunch and Penny smirked" "PicklePunch? Really?? He's super weak, like you." But he snickers; "It's not about power, it's about what I can do with what I have." The game starts and Penny hit first; Gunz was struggling at first, my fingers are too small for him to reach some buttons and Penny kept on pressing every button she could find, all he could do, was let out a huff and a sly smirk and mumbled.

"Humph! This bitch is still a spammer, huh?" And despite having the lowest health points, he managed to use my fingers and tapped on each button so fast that his fingers basically moved in light speed like a flash or, the wind. His fingers moved effortlessly, but he wasn't spamming; he just knew what he was doing. After pressing one final button, the character that was supposedly 'weak' had managed body slam her character with a truck before dunking her head so hard, the ground breaks and PicklePunch grabs her character by the hair and raise it up unto the sky before slamming her head so deep into the ground, that they landed in what seems to be like the underworld for a moment before drags her character all the way to space and left her to freeze..

Penny was frozen in shock as the screen says "Game over" in a big, red, pixilated capital letters; she slowly looked at me (Gunz) and I tilted my head, why was she so... Shocked? I wondered. "Only he knows that... Move..." "Gunz...?" I said with a confused tone. In my body, he smirked and looked at his ex-girlfriend.. In my body he chuckled.. "Dolly?" Gunz and I looked at her at the same time she called my name "Only Gunz.. Knew that move... That dick-face, motherfucking asshat..knew that move." Gunz smirked "You don't seem too keen to respect the dead, hmm, must've been too busy whoring off to understand simple sympathy?" She raised her hand and with full speed and all her strength it landed straight to my face, I watched it as it all happened but in a blink of an eye

He kept hitting her, again and again. How—how did this—she just slapped him?! What did I miss?! I just blinked!!! What happened?! She's on the ground, using her hands to defend herself, she seems shocked that despite my small features, that I could put up so much fight. But maintained her poker face, luckily before things could escalate into something worse, a guard pulled him away from her. And kicked both us out of the arcade.

"Gunz?!" I whined.. Before Gunz could land a hit on her, she dodged him and apprehended him, my body, now pushed against the wall, he gave up, knowing that this body of mine has a limit; she stopped trying to fight me once she realized there was a literal inhaler dangling around my neck "That was really risky, you could've lost your breath." She said with no emotion in her tone.

He scoffs at her "So what??" I panicked "Gunz I swear to God, stop.. Please—" before I could more, she interrupted me "Are you.. Perhaps.. Was.. Gunz's girlfriend?" He was shocked, and I was gagged, what does she mean 'girlfriend'?! What are you talking about?! I tilted my head, and saw that, he too was just as confused "There were.. Rumors that he dated someone after he broke up with me.." She seemed.. Really insecure and.. Her face almost broke her poker face, something that was; satisfying to him. Girlie I ain't a hoe, trust me.

"Nah bitch ass hoe. He's too fine for me." I slapped my palm against my forehead in the sheer embarrassment. And he continues without a care in the world. "Its just, the whole.. 'Thing' became really mainstream.. You already know what I mean." He smirked to himself, it's not even a question, and raised his chin up high with pride. I just couldn't take it anymore.. Penny's poker face finally shatters.. And she seemed horrified, this only earns her a squeaky chuckle from him, while I floated beside him, wishing this stupid situation with her is over; He sneered at her "Yeah, in fact, everybody knows you slept with seventeen other guys. While I—" he calmed himself, he nearly caught himself referring to.. Well, himself. While he was in my body, so he corrected himself "He, was in his uncle's funeral. Mourning the guy who took his own. Fucking. Life." he snarled, and continued with "You really are a bitch.."

Penny scoffed "That's because he cheated too." "Delusional ass! I—He never cheated on you! He loved you! He did all He could; but you never-" He tried his best to hold back his tears.. Likewise, he knew that his ex never missed him.. But, he at least expected her to felt some remorse for her actions! She should feel remorse! But.. She never did! I wanted to throw something at her and dunk her head on a stove. Ah! No.. That's not right, I'm thinking like my father, I shouldn't—I'm so sorry..

I'm sorry..

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I feel so.. Gross all of a sudden.. What's happening to me?? Ew.. I.. Could feel.. That pain.. Those sweaty.. Gross. Hands... No.. I shouldn't.. I.. Can't!!!

"Dolly!" "Eh?!" What... What on earth did I miss while I was hyperventilating?! Is.. That.. Hyperventilating? I don't know..?

I looked around me, and Penny was.. Gone? "What happened??" He smirked, still inside my body "Well, one of her boyfriends came to her rescue.. And I beat the living shit out of him." I looked beneath him, and saw a body.. A limp and cold body, suddenly a blood-curdling scream escaped my lips. "Shortcake, relax~" he tries to reassure me that all was well.. "Dude! I'M FUCKED!!"

"You won't be if we tie him up to a—" "No." I said without hesitation; my tone is polite but firm, whatever he's up to, I shouldn't let him. "Did you.. Take the inhaler?.. Since, you got into fights." "It was as smooth as smoking crack" "Dude... You don't puff out the air.. You suck it in." He smiled giddily "Oh! So it's like smoking weed and vaping, but it heals your lungs instead of breaking it, and we can suck it in without consequences, fucking sick!" I facepalmed myself in the sheer idiocy I'm with..

"Come on bitch, let's switch.." Suddenly I feel myself being pulled towards my body, it felt like I was forced to stay in an unbearable hug again.. As this sickening warmth consumes my body; I could feel.. At least.. Something again, but for some reason.. I liked being a floaty, but with Gunz being so brash.. But; this is for the best, thanks to him. I'll have to explain what happened in the arcade to my Auntie Esther.

"So.. The pills?" He smirked "Yeah cupcake.. We're still going to the damn pharmacy."
