Dandy was god. They all knew that. The toons were his angels.Despite this, Sprout could barely see that… thing.. As a god any longer.As he stared into the eyes of the man he once, and still, loved. Sickly reddish tinted eyes stared back, showing nothing but bloodlust. Thick black tears fell from the twisted’s eyes, gooey and forever flowing down the cakes cheeks, dripping into a pool forming beneath his feet. The entirety of his right arm mangled and forced into a bloody claw, constantly twitching, as if it had its own thoughts. Its own feelings. His wings… his beautiful wings.. Ripped by him.. By Dandy..An eerie growl fell from its lips. Cosmo’s lips. Sprout felt his breath hitch. This wasn't meant to happen.. No… Dandy. It was all Dandy’s fault. Discarding Cosmo like that all because he didn't fit his.. His fucked idea of perfection.Cosmo growled, taking a step towards Sprout. The berry felt a shiver run through his spine, the sudden urge to run overcame him, but he held back. “cmon…Cosmo! It's me.. You know me… you wouldn't…this isn't you” He said desperately, but alas, his pleas fell of deaf ears.“Shit. Shit. shit. shit. SHIT” Sprout hissed as the twisted pounded at him, only narrowly avoiding the attack. Twisted Cosmo stumbled, growling as he caught his balance. Slowly, he turned to look where Sprout was.. And saw nothing.Sprout was panting, he’d ran the second he got a chance, now hidden behind a stack of crates. He could hear the pitter patter of Cosmo’s feet as he searched for Sprout. He sighed softly, his wings fluttering the slightest bit. How did it end up like this? Well he knew EXACTLY how it ended up like this.. Fuck dandy. Fuck Astro.. Fuck them all. “..god.. Yeah god my ass..” *he hissed under his breath, and then silently hoped Dandy didn't know he thought like this.Dandy may not have heard, but Cosmo sure did.. Sprout could hear a gurgle from nearby, indicating that Cosmo was in the room. He silently cursed himself. He’d never been down here before, and the elevator had closed. He’d seen some strange machines.. Four to be specific. He glanced around the corner to see where Cosmo was.. The other side of the room, perfect!Silently, he stood up, trying not to alert Cosmo, before booking it to the door, skidding as he turned the corner and out the room. Once he was far enough, he slowed down, approaching the first machine.“Right…now how does this work..” he whispered quietly to himself. He wrapped his fingers around the valve and attempted to turn it. It took a few seconds before he was able to start turning it.. ‘Well this isn't too hard!’ he thought to himself, a small grin playing on his lips and he slowly twisted the valve, ‘it is getting a bit stiff.. Eh, probably noth-’ His thoughts were cut off as a lout ring emitted from the machine, the sound flooding the whole floor, drawing the attention of Cosmo. “...fuck.”
