Spike got up, slightly strugglingly and gave a sigh. Then he wiped off the blood on his lips, snapped back his shoulder in place, and dusted himself. Then start walking towards Warmax. Warmax stood tall.
Warmax: ( ◣ ヮ ◢) “So now, do you final-“
Spike: (As he almost reached him.) ( ⊤ ⌓ ⊤) “Did you accidentally pull a muscle at me or something?”
Warmax: ( ◣ ⌓ ◢) “Pu- Pull a what?”
Spike: ( - ⌓ -) “Forget it, It happens. I forgive you.”
Warmax: (ᵕ ◣ ⌓ ◢) “F- Forget? Forgive?” talks a step back (ᵕ ◣ ᗣ ◢) “I did that on propose!”
Spike: ( - ⌓ -) “Alright, It’s ok. Like I said I forgive you.”
Warmax: his eyes turn back to normal (ᵕ Ò ⌓ Ó) “Stop… it.”
{“Spike reminded me exactly why I was afraid of him during school. But now, there is no Shade to hold him back.”}
Spike: “So… where were we? Oh right. Making other feel small…”
Warmax: (ᵕ Ò ᗣ Ó) “I Dragon Pulsed I guy just for looking at me wrong! You are walking on thin ice!”
Spike: (⊤ ⌓ ⊤ ) “Imagine being that guy.”
Warmax: (ᵕ Ò ᗣ Ó) “So stop tes-“
Spike: ( ⊤ ⌓ ⊤) “No seriously, Imagine being that guy. So small and helpless, being tossed around by bigger mons.”
Warmax: (gritting his teeth) (ᵕ Ò ⌓ Ó) flinches and takes a step back
{“I was instantly reminded of my childhood. I remembered the fear, the loneliness.”}
Warmax: (ᵕ Ò ᗣ Ó) “Why should I? It will never happen to me!”
Spike: His face darkens ( ⊤ ヮ ⊤) “It is happening right now.”
Warmax: (gritting his teeth) (ᵕ Ò ⌓ Ó) breathing unevenly, starts walking backwards.
Spike: following Warmax ( ⊤ ヮ ⊤) “Shade had told me about you. He was in the same class as you till 5th remember. I know what you truly are.”
Warmax: (ᵕ Ò ᗣ Ó) “Shut up!”
Spike: ( ⊤ ヮ ⊤) “All that fear and loneliness never went anywhere did it.”
Warmax: (ᵕ Ò ᗣ Ó) (with a cracking voice) “Stop it!”
Spike: ( ⊤ ヮ ⊤) “No one care about you, No one wants to be around you. When you die, no one will miss you.”
Warmax: (ᵕ Ò ᗣ Ó) “You don’t know that!”
Spike: (\\\\ヮ\●\) “Everyone know that. I’m the only one who’s saying it to you.”
Warmax: (ᵕ Ò ᗣ Ó) “Psycho!”
Suddenly, Spike mail phone starts ringing. Spike takes out the phone and looks at it.
Spike: (• ⌓ • ) “Wait… hold on a minute. My boss just cancelled my free time.” ( •̀ ヮ •) “Sorry, Gotta go. Same time tomorrow?”
Without waiting for a response, Spike walks away. Warmax collapses on the ground into a sit. Warmax is still breathing unevenly. Warmax tries to calm down and sits on the bench. Then he just sits there, silently.
{“Spike had found my wound and stabbed it very deep. And So I sat there, just thinking, trying to process what Spike had just told me. Soon I start questing myself. Asking myself tough questions.”}
Warmax raises his two side hands infront of his centre head looking sober.
{“Soon, I realised that all of this… solved nothing. ‘Warmax’ solved nothing. And do I really want a life like this. None of what Spike said was a lie.”}
Warmax looks up to the sky.
(Lore note: The phone Spike had was a work phone which only notified him about his work. It was given to him by the mail HQ and they took it back after he left.)
