that damn void-star.. well, it ruined everything between them both.
noli & 007n7. 007n7 & noli—it was always those two names together, side by side. it was never supposed to be any other way; no one else worked as well as the duo did, no one else caused the same amount of destruction & havoc as the teenage duo did. they always worked together—never solo—to ensure that they caused the most havoc they possibly could to robloxians streets, be it if they were either setting fire to the local pizzeria or hacking into robloxia’s hq for the third time that week. 007n7 & noli even seemed to enter a relationship with one another at one point, even if they never openly admitted that; they frequently called each other pet names only couples would, yet they always insisted that it was “nothing serious”, even when they literally kissed. it was ridiculous, sure, & both knew what truly lay beneath those ridiculous calls of “baby” & “i love you”, even if they never admitted it.
everything was going well. but then it all went to hell.
007n7, one day whilst surfing the web, discovered something called the “void-star”. he hunted it down down to its precise location, sweeping through all of the old admin logs & text messages until he could gather every piece of evidence he could find of it. he stalked the star down, bringing noli with him, & made the latter claim the void-star. noli grew in possession of the sacred object from that day on, providing noli with even more hacking powers & enhanced exploitation abilities; & as for 007n7? well, he grew jealous.
he wasn’t the envious sort, but he did grow particularly jealous when he saw the amount of power noli gained from holding the void-star, he couldn’t help but get envious. it wasn’t much, just playful bantering, with 007n7 not-so-discreetly expressing how he’d love to get his hands on the void-star. well, the transfer between hosts simply wasn’t physically possible, so 007n7 did the next best thing— upgraded his own hacking device, the c00lgui, until he could be as powerful as noli.
one night, while 007n7 was working on the c00lgui to upgrade it further, his hand slipped as he was working on a particularly meticulous section of the c00lgui. noli, at the time, was out running errands, so he wasn’t in the dormitory at the time. the one mistake from 007n7’s handiwork caused the c00lgui to combust, completely enveloping & consuming 007n7 as an entirety.
well, in the current day, 007n7 had gained the power he was always hungry for; but had instead been forced to exchange his humanity for it. he stalked the desolate, forsaken streets on legs not of his own, but rather spider-like appendages that protruded from his back like a twisted mechanism. he stabbed, thrusted & choked with these “new & reinforced” legs of his, with not even a shroud of mercy for the unfortunate survivors he happened to come across. this wasteland, it… didn’t treat its residents well. the survivors had to scavenge for what they needed to survive with, & the killers, well—they were an entirely different story. often beings with their humanity torn apart into shreds from a breakup or something similar, they stalked the lands, heartless & unfeeling to satiate their everlasting thirst for blood with the death of survivors. 007n7 had become one of these beasts; his c00lgui aiding him in every single life he took.
one foggy night, whilst 007n7 was blindly chasing after another unfortunate soul whom he’d already slashed, he suddenly heard a painfully familiar voice cut through the air that made him pause on instinct. 007n7’s appendages ground to a sudden halt, twisting as he looked to the direction of the voice.
noli…
007n7’s mind, no matter how twisted, couldn’t deny the voice of his old best friend, his old love. his bloodshot eyes, hidden beneath his iconic glasses as they’d always been, quickly found noli through the fog. 007n7’s head dropped to the side at an unnatural angle, voice heavy with static & distortion.
“….noli..”
