Tick Tock, Tick Tock (Part 3)
Author's Note: Orginally I wasn't going to make another 3-part chapter but it felt appropriate to break up their stories so the last chapter didn't get too long. Hope you enjoy! Party on dudes! Leave me some comments if you like it! :3
Dedicated to idckat Love4Greasers oblivious80s @Moon_Child123 @sundjerbob336 @laurenkay1995 and the rest of you bodacious dudes and babes who it won't let me tag.
***Sorry if this chapter is a little confusing, because I made it jump from character to character.***
Ted found himself in his room in San Dimas, California. He looked around wildly, picking up odd trinkets to make sure it was genuine. Everything looked the same, from the guitar with the broken string, the Van Halen poster on the wall, even to the Wyld Stallyns lyric book that Ted wouldn't let anyone touch.
Ted picked it up and flipped through it, ensuring everything was safe. There were secrets in that book he wouldn't even let Bill see.
After confirming that it was indeed his room, he remembered the clock reading 40 minutes and got back on target. He was no longer linked to Neo and Bill. Maybe he had to find them to get out?
Ted wandered his house, opening doors and closets as fast as he could, but it was just his house, nothing else. His dad wasn't there, and neither was Deacon. He remembered his dad and cursed him for getting him into this in the first place. If he hadn't made Ted go to Oats, he'd be sitting at home with Bill, not wandering a time machine trying not to die!
He ran out his front door in search of his friends and found himself in Santa Carla on the boardwalk where he first saw Marko-Bill.
-
Bill entered the door and found himself in another room in the TARDIS. Everything looked alien. Ted, Neo, and Marko were with him, but they all looked at him like they were expecting him to do something; like he was the only one who could do it.
Bill padded along in silence, running his hands over the foreign objects and tools.
He looked around and tried all the doors in the room. They were all locked from the outside, so Bill started picking up the tools. The Doctor's sonic-whatever thing was on the table, so he picked it up and began buzzing it at all the locks, himself, and the others. Nothing happened with it.
Then time started moving very quickly. He was already down to 30 minutes, according to the clock on the wall. No way he spent 15 minutes in here already...? What is this place?
-
Marko found himself in his home in Santa Carla. David was sitting calmly, watching him like a hawk. Paul was smoking in the corner, and Dwayne had a book. They all looked different somehow, and they were acting strangely.
"Hey guys," he said to them.
"Took you long enough," David said, glaring up at him. "Come on, we're going hunting.
35 minutes.
Paul and Dwayne practically pinned him between the two of them and pushed him into a small room that didn't exist before. It was cramped, and inside was Bill, Ted, Neo, and The Doctor, tied to chairs.
"This isn't hunting," Marko said, confused, "These are my friends."
"What do you mean friends? This is dinner." David stated in his haunting voice. "Eat up, Marko."
-
Neo entered the room and found that it was completely black, completely silent. There was nothing in there. It was totally empty, and so dark he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
There was a chair in the center of the room that he somehow knew was there as it materialized, and he sat down in it to think.
-
Ted walked across the Boardwalk, trying to trail the Vampires. Edgar and Alan were suddenly at his sides, putting a stake in his one hand and garlic in the other. Edgar was also putting paint on his face for camouflage.
They took no notice to Ted's confusion, how he managed to walk out his door and into another city. But then again, this was the TARDIS trying to destroy him, so he probably shouldn't question it.
30 minutes.
Ted took hold of the stake, but wiped the face paint from his cheeks with his sleeve.
"Where are we going?"
"We're going hunting," Alan said seriously. "They're coming for you, Ted."
-
Bill ran frantically around the TARDIS room, clock counting down at least twice as fast as it should. He picked up all the alien devices and tried using them to open the doors or create a way out. Everything he did failed.
Finally, Bill gave up and began ramming his shoulder against the door. The situation may or may not be real, but it sure hurt pretty bad. He squeezed his eyes closed. He was nearing 15 minutes but he didn't know what to believe anymore; his clock was malfunctioning.
He pressed his face against the floor desperately with his fingers tangled in his own hair.
"Ted, dude, I'm sorry, I can't get us out!"
-
Marko was shoved forward at Ted, who was gagged, but he could still stare deep into his dark brown eyes. He looked so sad and scared.
"David, I can't eat him," Marko said, turning to the lead vampire.
He was met with an evil glare from the silvery-blond haired man, then suddenly, his face drained of the little color it had, and he began to bleed.
Marko couldn't see what caused it, but as he looked around frantically for something to staunch the blood. As he looked from person to person, he saw that Dwayne's hair was graying significantly, Paul's face was wrinkled and old, Bill and Ted were hunched over in pain as they aged rapidly before his eyes.
15 minutes.
His friends were all dying and there seemed to be no way to stop it.
-
Neo sat alone in the dark room calmly, eyes shut even though it didn't matter if they were open or closed.
There was nothing. No noise, no light. There was something unsettling about the silence, but also something peaceful. He didn't fear being alone, he didn't fear the darkness. There was just...
Nothing.
-
Ted walked along the Boardwalk. He shut his eyes. 10 minutes. He still had no way to know how he had to get out. Suddenly, the crowed Boardwalk was completely deserted, including Edgar and Alan, but he held the stake in both hands.
All of a sudden, there was a blinding light that dropped Ted to the ground.
The vampires were surrounding him on all sides. Marko flicked his tongue over his fangs in the most sinister way.
Ted backed up until he found himself against Paul, who gripped his shoulders tight. David then grabbed Ted's face and tipped his head to the side, revealing his neck.
Dwayne ripped the garlic and stake from Ted's fingers like it was nothing, and Marko moved in for the kill.
"Bill... Marko... dude... it's me. Don't do this--" Ted choked out.
"I'm not Bill anymore. Never was. You're nothing to me." Marko said coldly.
In one quick, clean sweep, the Vampire's sharp fangs closed in on Ted's pulse point and he faded from view as Ted went under, shouting in pain for Bill to stop.
-
Bill was crouched on the floor in pain.
"I'm so sorry, dudes. There's no way out," he cried. Bill made feeble attempts at digging his nails into the seam of the door, but all that did was make his fingers bleed.
5 minutes.
"Ted. Neo. Marko. I don't know what's going to happen next if we can't get out, but we've got five minutes. The door won't open..., I should've never gone to Santa Carla. The timeline would never have split and none of you would be here." Bill was crying, and he wouldn't deny that.
A minute later, the door opened.
Bill jumped to his feet in disbelief.
"COME ON!" He shouted, grabbing Ted and Marko by the wrists. They ran full speed down the hall with no sense of direction on how to get out and away from danger.
It was clear that weren't going to make it.
"Dudes... we're screwed. I'm-I'm sorry. Again. I just gotta say something, if this is the end....," he took a deep breath. Now or never.
"I--"
The TARDIS exploded around them before Bill could utter another word.
-
Marko turned on his heels, spinning to look at his dying friends.
"This is your curse, Marko," David croaked. "You get to see us die. Isn't that poetic? The immortal gets to watch us suffer."
2 minutes.
Marko shouted for help, knowing it was useless. He gripped Dwayne by the shoulders, trying to prop him up again, only to find that the tanned vampire was crumbling in his hands, turning to dust.
The same happened to Paul the second Marko touched him.
The Doctor was nothing but a skeleton in his chair, dust settling. Bill and Ted writhed in pain as they aged, and Neo crumbled into nothingness.
It was only David and Marko, and David looked terrifying. He was skeletal, crumbling fast.
"This is your curse," he whispered. And then he died.
Marko in turn hunched in pain. He looked down at his hands and they turned gray. Marko fell to floor in defeat, breathing out, "I'm so sorry," just before he turned to dust. He saw the sunrise for the very last time peek up over the horizon.
-
Neo sat alone in the dark room.
One minute.
"I accept it," he chuckled darkly.
The darkness overcame him, and the chair was left empty, just a shadow of a place Neo used to exist in.
