Grian's Perspective-

We've still been staying here at the Red Velvet Cake, at least what's left of it. Grian thought.

Scar's been a mess about his pandas exploding, but we have a meeting with the other red names later and he has to get himself together.

"Scar." Grian said, walking over to Scar.

Scar was walking in the burnt down panda reserve.

No pandas were left, and the place was destroyed.

"...are you okay?" Grian asked, grabbing Scar's shoulder.

Scar took a deep breath, "Yeah. Yeah, I will be."

Grian kissed Scar and Scar kissed back.

"Come on, we have to set up the meeting place." Grian grabbed Scar's hand and they walked to the remains of the Red Velvet Cake.

'Grian- Red Names come to the remains of the Red Velvet Cake'

'Pearlescentmoon- Does that mean us too?'

'Grian- Red Names only.'

Five minutes later, all the read names had come,

Bdubs, Impulse, Etho, and Joel showed up.

"I've summoned you all here to form the fellowship of the red. We've got four yellows left on the server, technically only two lives, and instead of just knocking each other out of the series, why don't we knock them out of their yellow lives?" Grian started.

"Agreed, you have my bow." Joel said.

"I love it, I love it." Bdubs said.

"Yes! That's exa- Anyone else? No?"

"You have my steed!" Bdubs shouted.

"You have my crossbow as well." Etho said, shooting an arrow up in the air.

"You have my horn." Grian said.

"Scar?"

"You have my-"

"I would like revenge for the pandas." Scar interrupted Impulse.

"Oh, for goodness' sake." Grian laughed.

"Just please breed some." Scar said to Etho and Joel.

Etho and Joel got up, bred two pandas that were wandering around in the nearby forest, and walked back.

"Thank you." Scar said.

"They're all over at Pearl's house right now." Bdubs said, changing the subject, "We just saw them."

"See Pearl, I think, is more of an asset than a problem." Grian said, "She's basically been red this whole time."

Grian was talking about how Pearl had been in her Red Name outfit since the beginning.

"So maybe our way forward is through-"

"Coming! Incoming!" Bdubs interrupted.

"Hi!" Pearl said, running over.

"Speak of the devil." Grian laughed.

Scar then set Pearl on fire.

"Kumbajah- KILL HER!" Bdubs stuttered.

Grian extinguished the fire, "Yeah, you have to sit outside the circle, Pearl."

"There's no seat for me." Pearl said, looking around.

"This is a red circle feud." Grian said.

"What about this one right here?" Pearl asked, walking over to a seat outside the circle.

"There you go, yeah that's perfect." Grian said as Pearl sat down.

"Okay, so we'll have a conversation." Grian started as Bdubs moved out of the way so Pearl can see, "How do we get rid of the yellows? Has anyone got any ideas?"

"If Pearl dies, Scott dies." Joel said.

"Excuse me?" Pearl asked.

"There we go, that's one down." Impulse said.

"No, there's no killing Pearl. That's off of the table, alright?" Pearl said.

"You're not in- no, you get to listen, but you don't get to complain about the death thing, you know?" Grian said.

"Oh, okay." Pearl said.

"Just let us brainstorm." Bdubs said.

"Let's follow what Joel said there." Etho said, "That actually makes perfectly logical sense to me."

"Oh yeah, yeah. I'll give you an idea." Pearl said as she stood in powdered snow.

"Ah perfect." Bdubs said.

"Oh perfect, yeah." Joel said, "So you do that, and I'll get the last hit."

Pearl got rid of the snow.

"Yeah, you're pretty much useless Pearl." Joel said.

"Okay, I'm friends with them alright? I could. Maybe..." Pearl trailed off.

"Well, where are they Pearl?" Joel asked.

"They're listening so stop making it so obvious, god." Peral said, rolling her eyes.

"They're listening?!" Joel said.

"Shhh!" Pearl hushed.

"OI!" Joel shouted, running off.

"What?" Grian asked, following Joel.

"Smellos, where are ya?" Joel asked, running around.

"I HEAR SOMEBODY DIGGING BLOCKS OVER HERE!" Bdubs shouted.

Everyone ran over to him.

"THERE'S SOMEBODY DIGGING!" He continued to shout.

"I think that's where Pearl came from!" Bdubs said.

"Don't go down there, there's no water." Scar said, looking down a big hole.

"Er- I just saw Cleo. Cleo's there." Grian said, digging.

"She's right under us!" Bdubs shouted.

"Cleo?" Joel and Etho asked at the same time.

"What was the plan there?" Grian asked.

"Oooh Cleooooo." Scar said spookily.

Grian looked down the hole, "There was a plan here."

"They were listening." Bdubs said.

"Pearl left too." Grian said, walking back to the remains.

-

The red names all ran over to Pearl's tower and saw her with a bunch of dogs.

"Oh my gosh! Look at all the dogs! She's a crazy dog lady." Scar said.

"One piece of TNT could kill all these dogs." Joel said as Scar and Grian started heading up her tower.

"Scar should I, do it?" Grian asked as they got out of earshot of everyone else.

"Oh, do it. Do it, do it." Scar said, handing Grian some dripstone.

"Martyn- Martyn's to your left." Grian said as Scar ignited a TNT and threw it down.

Martyn ran out of the way, but some of Pearl's dogs died.

"Pearl's gonna get really mad at you now." Martyn said as Scar and Grian walked down.

"It's fine." Scar said, shrugging it off.

Eventually Martyn made a fake excuse to leave and ran off.

"Come on." Scar said, grabbing Grian's hand once they were out of earshot of Martyn.

"Where are we going?"

"Following Martyn."

They took off following Martyn into the Deep Dark.

"Scar! This is probably a trap!" Grian whispered, but Scar didn't listen.

"Come on, I want to kill him." Scar said.

Grian watched with the other reds as Scar ran after Martyn.

"What is he doing?" Joel hissed.

"I don't-"

Grian started to say, but it turned dark.

"RUN SCAR!" Joel shouted, grabbing Etho's hand and they and Grian ran.

"What?! Was that strike three?" Grian asked, running after Joel and Etho to get up high.

But Grian had his question answered when he heard rumbling and the Warden spawned.

Oh no, oh no, Scar run.

Their phones buzzed.

'Martyn was shot by Scar and Cleo drowned.'

"What? How did Martyn get shot but Cleo drowned?" Bdubs asked as he and Impulse joined them.

Grian was busy looking through his spy glass, desperately trying to find his lover.

There! Grian turned his spy glass towards a panicked Scar.

"Guys! It's all dark!" Scar said, running towards them.

"The Warden spawned!" Joel shouted, "Oh no! Run Scar! It's behind you!"

Scar turned around, but because he was blind, he believed him.

But the Warden was still several feet away from Scar.

"WHERE?!" Scar said, clearly freaking out.

Scar, please be quiet.

Then Scar took off running towards the exit.

I need to go too.

Grian was about to jump off when Joel grabbed his arm.

Grian turned around and saw Joel pointing towards the Warden, who was sniffing around, looking for prey.

Eventually the Warden went back to sleep, and they took off running in different directions.

"Thanks Joel." Grian whispered as they ran off.

One more shrieker and the Warden will spawn again. Grian thought as he ran towards the exit that Scar went through.

Grian was about halfway to the exit and Joel and Etho had clearly found their exit because they shouted, clearly trying to set off the shrieker.

And they succeeded.

SHIT!

Grian tried to run, but since the Warden spawned a couple of feet away from him, he had to freeze so then the Warden didn't find him.

I have to run.

Grian said, watching the Warden nervously.

Then his phone buzzed,

'Scar- Grian? Where are you?'

OH NO.

Grian sighed as he started running towards the exit.

His phone had caught the attention of the Warden and it started chasing Grian.

I think this is the right way, come on, come on. Please ware off darkness!

Grian ran as fast as he could and...

Scar's Perspective

"Okay, I just have to regroup with Grian and then we can-"

Scar said aloud to himself when he found a horse.

"Well, hello there."

Scar got on the horse.

"Now I just have to-"

Scar clutched his heart,

"WHAT THE FUCK GRIAN! YOU JUST TOOK A BIG CHUNCK OF DAMAGE!" Scar shouted, breathing hard.

Scar tried to start eating when he fell off the horse.

"Oh no. That scared me." Scar said, staring at his dead body.

He was a ghost now.

They had run out of lives.

You can't just do that to a man alone at night! With a full moon of all things!

Scar then turned around, trying to find Grian.

I... died without him.

Scar felt like crying.

I vowed that I would never leave him. And I did. I'm such an idiot.

-

"Scar?"

Scar looked up and saw Grian running over to him.

Is this a dream? I died... Scar was so confused.

Grian pulled Scar into a tight hug.

"I'm so sorry I died." Grian sobbed.

"It's okay, Grian. I love you." Scar said, hugging back.

Grian smiled at Scar, "I knew you would say that."

Scar laughed and kissed Grian who kissed back.

"I love you." Grian said.

"I'm happy we got to spend another life together." Scar said.

Grian looked surprised but didn't question it.

"I'll never forget you, Scar. I love you. Even if I forget it in the future, just know that I do love you. No matter what."

"No matter what?"

"No matter what."

Scar and Grian kissed one more time, and possibly for the last time. 

——————————————————————————————————————————————

So this is the end of the book. It's short, I know. I'm thinking of writing a 3rd life one, but it'll be a bit (I'm dealing with a bit of writers block, lots of homework from school, and a 3rd life one means I'll probably re-watch it a bunch to get all the info). Let me know if you actually want a sequel or not, and with that, farewell and thanks for reading!
