Okay so this was supposed to be short but I’m physically incapable of doing that I guess lmao.

But here it is!! (Hope tumblr doesn’t fuck up the editing 🙄)

How did things get this bad?

Karkat was used to fighting monsters at this point, from battle imps to the bigger ones, the escalation was smooth enough that he could easily grasp how attacks and defenses varied between enemies and adapt to them.

However, there he was, surrounded by a bunch of them and he couldn’t get through a single one without leaving himself opening to another. He felt like he was in the middle of a ring, waiting for the moment animals would jump at him and splatter his filthy guts for the world to see.

He ran and, while avoiding someone’s attack, ran up one of the bigger battle imp’s arm and jumped over their shoulder, taking advantage of the multiple failed attacks by the other enemies.

Fuck, there were a lot of them. Now that he’s more open he should be more careful to not get himself surrounded again. The trick wouldn’t work twice.

He slashed through an imp fusion of meowbeast and horrorterror and quickly collected the grist before running away.

As his legs moved him through the land, his eyes scanned his surroundings. Terezi and Nepeta has teamed up and were now doing combos against the battle imps. They seemed to be handling themselves just fine, if their laughs meant anything.

There weren’t many others on that land besides the two girls, Karkat and…

Wait.

Where the fuck was Gamzee?

Karkat lowered and avoided an attack coming from above before slashing the battle imp in half with his sickles. Shit, shit, shit, the place was crawling with monsters, now was the worst possible time to get that stupid, high-like-a-kite clown out of his sight!

Slashing through an imp’s legs and kicking it with his legs to make it fall over the others, Karkat started to frantically look around, looking for any clues to where his stupid clown was.

“God damnit, Gamzee. Now’s literally the worst fucking time!” Karkat growled to himself and took off running, avoiding all imps that charged at him and frantically looking around.

Gamzee couldn’t have just gone through a gate and left that world, right? He probably didn’t even know where the fucking gate was; Karkat sure as fuck didn’t.

An imp surprised Karkat from the side and almost clawed his belly out, missing at the last second when Karkat noticed its presence and jumped away. Before Karkat could take his sickles, something smashed the imp’s head from behind and it fell on the ground, one very bloody Gamzee clinging to its neck with his claws.

Karkat stared at him, stunned. Where did he come from? Karkat didn’t even have time to shout his name before he simply showed up from the void.

Karkat didn’t want to admit it, but he was worried for him. It wasn’t unlike Gamzee to disappear, but Karkat was entitled to his worry when the stupid clown disappeared in the middle of a battle with giant creatures, thank you very much.

“Are you okay, best friend?” Gamzee asked, rushing air into his lungs like he just fucking ran a marathon.

“God damnit, Gamzee, you scared the shit out of me!”

Gamzee’s shoulders shook with a laugh. “Sorry, best friend.”

Stepping hastily over the imp’s head, Karkat took Gamzee by the colar of his shirt and pulled him down to a hurried and messy kiss.

“Don’t fucking do that again, asshole. I thought you died for a second, fuck!” Karkat hissed and headbutted Gamzee in the forehead, almost making him stumble.

Gamzee chuckled and briefly nuzzled his nose against Karkat’s. “Okay, best friend. I promise.”

Karkat gave Gamzee a small bite on his nose and gathered his sickles again, ready to charge back into battle.
