THE BAD ENDING MEME 2

You've chosen your path and it's led you to one of the worst possible ends. A bad ending you've averted in the past could be coming true after all, a possibility you've always feared could be happening now. It's game over.



Bring it

▻ post with your character, make sure to note their name and series in the subject.

▻ taggers RNG it up.(If you want)

▻ tag other people with the number you rolled and thread from there. or skip the rolling and pick your own scenario!

▻ have fun!

Prompts

one｡ SURVIVORS -- you two are the only ones left, whether it be the result of the apocalypse, a fight with the final boss gone horribly wrong, or something equally tragic. now you're left to contemplate friends and loved ones lost, as well as which one of you may be next.


two｡ SICKNESS -- you are seriously ill. poisoning, virus, perhaps it's even mental; whatever the reason, you doubt time is on your side this time.


three｡ FORGOTTEN -- you're not sure how, but your memories are crumbling and the things you do recall are hazy and make you dizzy. can you even recognize the person in front of you anymore?


four｡ SEPARATED -- you can see them, hear them, but something's keeping you from being with them. perhaps you're placed in a room with impenetrable glass dividing you, or you're hiding in a phone booth downtown, calling them secretly.


five｡ MELLOWED -- you've been through things, you've loved and you've lost, and all of that's changed you. maybe you finally decided to give in to temptation, you could be addicted to a substance you know is destroying you, or you've simply lost the optimism you had as a youth.


six｡ ANTAGONIST -- you've flipped the coin. you had to do it; they might not be able to understand it, but you just can't forgive the things that have happened. the darkness has consumed you.

seven｡ FREE CHOICE -- combine any of the others, reroll, or make up your own bad ending. the choice is yours!

[Leatherhead's only regret is not being strong enough to push Mikey away, to make sure he didn't have to share in his suffering. But unfortunately his sympathy had given in. He only wished he could undo what he did, just so he wouldn't see Leathherhead go through what he knew would happen.

He knew that one day the force inside him would consume him, the psychological mark that the kraang had left within. Already he felt his mind awash with blurry images of kraang, making it harder and harder to process anything.

It was decided: he'd have to leave. That was it, he'd just have to leave Mikey. He wished he could've said goodbye, but he didn't want his best friend hurt. He'd just retire to one of his hideouts in the sewer, away from causing any potential harm.]

[booyakashaa]

....Leatherhead? ....Leatherheeeaaad? ..where are ya dude? I just came up with a new recipe last night I wanted to show ya!

[Mikey's young voice echoes through the lonely tunnels of the sewers as he searches for the mutant, not in the slightest expecting for something to be wrong. Why would there be something wrong? He had no reason to be worried, so he wouldn't be.]

C'mon dude, this stuff ain't gonna cook itself!

[bigsoftie]

[No, please no, don't be here. Not now, he didn't want you around now. The alligator growls, a warning to the turtle.]

Leave. Please.

[There's no telling how long he had left before his head was completely gone.]

[booyakashaa]

[The turtle stops short, blinking.]

....Leave? ....why, what's the matter?...

[bigsoftie]

[He curls away from Mikey. He didn't want to see what delusions he might cast on the turtle.]

I cannot explain, just that you muse leave.

[There's a barely-contained pain in his voice.]

Please.

[booyakashaa]

...Well.....alright man.

[Mikey rolls his shoulders a bit, tucking the paper with the recipe on it in his belt for the moment.]

I'll just....come back later. S'that ok?

[bigsoftie]

[Leatherhead doesn't want to face Mikey, even though he should. He just stares at the wall as what's left of him begins feeling a strange sensation in his eyes. They felt...wet, wetter than usual. The wetness leaks onto his face, he reaches to wipe it off.]

You cannot come back...

[booyakashaa]

[That sudden statement leaves Mikey stunned, and it's a minute before he can find his voice again to say anything.]

...Y...you...you're not serious, right? Cause....cause that's a pretty good joke, Leatherhead.

[bigsoftie]

[His breathing got heavy, his brain literally coming apart. He had a shred of himself there, but it was hard to articulate himself. Even his eyes grew heavy from the wet.]

No.

Never come back.

[booyakashaa]

...W-...b-but...Leatherhead!

[Mikey exclaims, taking a shaky step forwards.]

You can't mean that!

[bigsoftie]

You must LEAVE!

[He roars at Mikey.]

...please, for your own safety.

[booyakashaa]

[The little turtle jumps violently and staggers backwards into the wall, standing there stunned and gasping. Normally he was used to LH's outbursts, but that one was unexpected. He sounded frightened, and desperate.]

Leatherhead....I-....you know I don't care if you lose it now n' then. ...I..I mean....you snap outta it eventually!

[bigsoftie]

[This hurts Leatherhead just as much as it hurts Mikey. His hands claw into the wall in front of him in order to sate his growing loss of control.]

It is too late for me.

Just do it, please...

[booyakashaa]

.......

[Confused, Mikey takes a short step back, now wringing his hands a little, nervously.]

...I-....

[He doesn't want to. He just doesn't understand. ..What makes this time any different?]

[bigsoftie]

[And just as Mikey is standing in his confusion, Leatherhead gets consumed by a confusion of his own. A flood of conflicting thoughts enter his mind, violent thoughts and mindless paranoia that eat at him.

It's all too much, he can't take it. In his hazy tumult, Leatherhead bashes his own head against the wall, hollering out in his anguish.]

[booyakashaa]

Leatherhead!

[Mikey doesn't hesitate and runs forwards a bit, holding up his hands. He doesn't come any closer, but he does call out loudly, hoping Leatherhead will be able to understand him in his state.]

C-cmon dude, ya gotta snap outta this! It isn't you, you know it!

[bigsoftie]

[After the fifth time hitting his head, Leatherhead's senses momentarily return, looking in horror at what he had done.

The alligator slowly reaches to hug Mikey tight, as it would probably be the last time he'd see the turtle again. He whispers through his own sob-choked voice.]

Please, Michelangelo, leave...

SCREAMS LH NO;;

[booyakashaa]

[Gasping sharply, Mikey stiffens when Leatherhead suddenly embraces him out of nowhere in a grip that would have knocked the breath out of anyone else. Without hesitation he returns the hug as tightly as he can himself, his eyes wide with confusion.]

....Leatherhead....

[His voice is faint and desperate, but something in him knows that if he doesn't listen, he might get hurt. Badly.]

.....I-.....am I....really...


....never gonna....see you again?

[bigsoftie]

[Whatever's left of him, what's left of himself, is going to hold on to Mikey as long as he can. There's more wetness coming from his eyes as he knows this might be the last time he ever remembers his only true friend.]

I...I will miss you, Michelangelo...

[It was coming back again, no not now, please no no. Leatherhead clenches his jaw, just to fight it off. Please, let him have this moment.]

You are one of the few I can truly feel something for...something besides hate...

[booyakashaa]

[The turtle grits his teeth before standing up on his tiptoes so he can wrap his arms around Leatherhead's neck even further. He doesn't really say anything for a moment or two, instead choosing to stand there and hold onto his friend for as long as he can.

Then he whispers, faintly.]

...I-...I don't...wanna leave, dude....

[bigsoftie]

I...do not...want you to leave, too...

[He can't even hold back his sobs as he starts feeling himself slip away again. Petting the turtle's head, he urges him away.]

Go, before it gets worse...

[booyakashaa]

[Mikey can feel a sob of his own trying to escape from his throat, but somehow he manages to hold it back when Leatherhead lets him go. He can't stop the tears that are suddenly rolling down his cheeks though.]

...G....goodbye.....Leatherhead...

[bigsoftie]

[It's ok, Mikey, you and Leatherhead can cry together. His face has never felt this wet.]

Try to remember me...try to remember...I love you...

[He turns back as he begins to leave. It was starting up again. Whatever time was left, he wanted to go over the positive memories...what little there was.]

IM CRY

[booyakashaa]

[The little turtle sniffs, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand as Leatherhead disappears into the sewers. He can feel his body trembling, and he can't seem to get his legs to move. ...He doesn't even want to go back to the lair. ...He just wants to be alone.

No.

He wants to be with Leatherhead.]

ME TOO and keywords

[bigsoftie]

[Deep in the waters he's already losing it, memories falling apart into chunks...there was Mikey with the...what was it? With the kraang? No, that can't be right...

No, please, he has to remember something, one little bit of information. In his frustration, he violently rams a pipe over and over. Funny...he can't seem to remember why he was doing it. It had something to do with something with the kraang! Yes, that's it!

The alligator soon violently tears through the sewage pool, hands mashing whatever he can get his hands on. But soon he grows tired...and collapses on the floor in a hazy blur of pained thoughts and bitterness. The worst thought of all is the memory of a smile he can't place...who was smiling...? And why did it make his heart hurt...?]
