《Only you can make me feel better... (Calamity x Drift)》Chapter 38: Fair trade

John said as he rubbed his neck. Drift suggested.Carbide asked as he looked at John. John said and grabbed his phone, calling Plague. Waiting... and waiting, but no answer. John said as he put his phone away. Carbide said. John said and then headed out to Salty Springs.
After some walking, he made it and knocked on the door, but no answer... John was starting to worry. He must be home, because he only goes outside to gather ingredients once in 3 weeks. But him also not picking up the phone? That was it for John. He looked around the door, hoping to find a spare key. He lifted up the flower pot, and look what he found. A key.
John smiled and picked it up, unlocking the door and entering the house. John asked as he closed the door behind him. Again, there was no answer. John decided to check the laboratory first, so he took the stairs down. As he made it, he looked around and gasped out of shock. Plague was laying on the floor, unconscious. There was also a chair, with rope on the ground. John knew something bad happened here.
He quickly went over to Plague and kneeled down next to him. John yelled, trying to shake him awake. Plague slightly groaned as he started moving a little. John asked worried as Plague tried sitting up straight, while holding his head with one hand. Plague managed to say. John asked. Plague looked around the room and sighed. Plague said in a sad tone. John asked confused. Plague replied. John said seriously.
Plague explained and sighed as he looked down. John said quietly. Plague asked as he looked up and didn't exactly hear John. John explained. Plague asked in disbelief and John nodded. John said in a serious tone again. Plague asked curiously. Then John started explained everything, from the beginning about Sanctum.

John asked after explaining, looking at Plague as if he was his only hope left. Plague said as he crossed his arms over his arms. John said as he stood up with Plague. Plague said and John nodded. He left the house and went back to the HQ, telling Carbide and Drift that help would arrive soon.
After what felt like an hour, footsteps were able to be heard, coming downstairs to where Carbide, John and Drift were at. John and Carbide looked at the direction from where it was coming from, and saw it was Plague, with two other persons. Plague said. Taro said as he walked towards Sanctum's paralyzed body, which was still tied to the chair, with the helmet on his head. Nara followed behind him. Carbide said as he stood next to Sanctum. Taro said. John asked as he rubbed his chin. Nara explained. John asked slightly shocked, and Nara nodded. John then smirked. "What is it John?" Drift asked as he noticed John smirking. John said and then started explaining the plan.
"John, you're a genius!"Drift exclaimed.John said as he chuckled. Taro asked and John nodded.Taro said as he guided John, Carbide and Plague to the door. Once they left the room, Taro and Nara began with the ritual on Sanctum...
The ritual felt really weird. It was like I was floating or something, but of course I wasn't. It's just the ritual. Nara commanded me, and so I did. And to my surprise, I opened my eyes! I looked down and saw I still had Sanctum's appearance. As Taro untied me, I stood up and walked around the room, and just really realized that I was really controlling Sanctum. Hah! You sucker, I told you I would be back!
Taro said as he opened the door, and let me and Nara out, followed by Taro himself. We went to where John and the others were. As we arrived, I saw everyone of the team was there. Oh damn, I didn't expect that. Everyone stood up as they saw us. Taro said, as he gestured to me. John asked as he slowly came closer to me. I said as I couldn't hold back a smile. But I did notice I had Sanctum's voice, but that's even better for the plan. John said thankfully. Nara said. Taro said and John nodded as he understood. Taro said and like that, Taro and Nara left the HQ. Plague said as he also left. John said with confidence.

I was slightly nervous, but I knew I could do this. I had to. I was with John, Carbide and Dire right now. Already waiting at the outskirts of Lazy Link for Dusk to arrive with Calamity. Carbide and Dire were both holding my arms, pretending to make sure I wouldn't 'escape'. Just then, Dusk appeared and landed in front of us, as she was carrying Calamity while she was unconscious. And my eyes immediately locked on the terrible wound on her head, with blood dripping down, making me slightly shiver. I just wanted to run to Dusk and punch her in the face, but I had to stick to the plan.
Dusk said with no emotion, as she just dropped Calamity's body on the ground without caring, making me flinch, but luckily Dusk didn't notice.John asked in a low voice, yet a little angry as he looked at Dusk angrily. She said sternly as she backed away from Calamity. I nervously glanced over at John, who nodded. Carbide and Dire let me go, and I started walking towards Dusk, and now standing next to her. I watched Dire as he walked to Calamity's unconscious body and picked her up, walking back to John and Carbide. Dusk said as she smirked, and then grabbed my arm, flying away afterwards.

Thomas the Brawler
Thomas doesn't remember what his last name was, before it became Bluebrim, a name belonging to another universe. He's also pretty sure he wasn't this stupid before he arrived, but what can you do, when a day that was supposed to begin with an interview to set your life back on track instead begins in a universe that makes no sense, with rules you can't begin to understand? Maybe he should have paid more attention to the avatar creation screen ... Content warnings: All of them. Seriously. Expect lots of blue screens to begin with. Don't expect a power-leveling fantasy, in which the lone hero beats up all the bad guys, and gets a harem of women. There's just a guy who treats character creation like an annoying series of pop-up advertisements, and the story is basically the ramifications of that. The main character has to learn to take the world he's found himself in seriously, and he'll learn the way most of us do, by doing it wrong first. This is, insofar as it is successful, a dark comedy fantasy. Also a bit of horror, particularly but not exclusively body horror. I'm pretty sure I've earned those Content Warning tags, so, uh, yeah. This is practice. Hopefully things improve as I go, and figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I make no guarantees things will ever get better. I've already made mistakes, I'll make more, and I'm happy to notice them each time I make them. You don't improve unless you fail. (On the plus side, it probably won't get much worse.) Feel free to point out anything you think I'm doing wrong; I don't promise to change anything, particularly if it's a matter of taste, but I am looking to improve, and figuring out what I need to improve goes faster if I don't have to try to figure it out myself. I've updated the earlier chapters for formatting, in the hope that it would make everything easier to read on mobile devices. Hopefully things work slightly better now, but please let me know if there are any issues anywhere.
