Chapter Text
1x1x1x1.. The Physical Manifestation of the former admin, Shedletsky’s, hatred.. A worker of the Spectre and the supposed leader of the Killers. He was brutal, often decapitating Survivors or slashing him into a million pieces.. One day, the Spectre had ordered to have a talk with him..
“What may you need me for, Great Spectre..” 1x1x1x1 said.. He kneeled down on one knee, in front of him was the Great Spectre itself.. His voice was glitchy and hard to understand sometimes.
“I need you to.. Recruit another Killer for me..” It spoke.. “I need another slave in my game..”
“I see.. Understood, o’ Great Spectre.. I’ll be back soon..” 1x obediently said. He would do anything for the Spectre, as long as it means he could kill Shedletsky over and over again..
“Get going, I’m growing impatient..” The Spectre scoffs.. It was clear that it was growing bored..
“Understood, I’ll get going now..” 1x got up and proceeded to go find someone.. or something that could become a Killer.. He was unsure on who or what could be recruited. There was nothing but a barren landscape of dead trees, a poisonous river, and rock arches.. He walked along the river.. It’s waves bring unusual comfort.. “Damn it.. From what I see, there is practically nothing to recruit.. The Spectre won’t be satisfied with me..”
1x suddenly stumbled upon a strange altar.. It had the symbol of the Spawn all over it.. There, in its center, was a ritual circle.. Where a body lies.. It was stabbed multiple times with stab wounds all over the place..
“Finally, something that could be recruited.. Just need a bit of Necromancy..” 1x proceeds to take his swords and stab it into himself.. The corpse starts to levitate and twitch.. From it’s back came black tendrils.. The rip of it’s hat became a face.. The corpse falls down onto the ground, renewed and reborn..
“Oh..? Did the Spawn itself grace me with a second chance..?” The corpse began to talk.. It started to laugh in a maniacally tone.. “Oh finally..! Now, they would stand a chance..!”
1x looks at the corpse whose now a person.. He looks at their new form.. “Looks like I’ve got something worthy of the Spectre’s approval.. Now, tell me your name, mortal fleshbag..”
“The name’s Azure.. Who are you, huh?” The person spoke.. Azure, that name seemed familiar.. It was Two Time’s previous partner whom they had sacrificed for their pathetic second life..
“1x1x1x1.. Or 1x, for short..” 1x put his swords by his side.. “I have an.. offer for you, Azure..”
“Enlighten me then.. Tell me what this worthless offer you have for me?” Azure scoffed.. He seemed annoyed and bloodthirsty.. “Make this quick.. I have someone to get revenge on..”
“Well then.. Would you like to.. join the Spectre?” 1x purposed the offer.. He clearly needed Azure to join.. So that he would complete his order and remain in his position..
“Why should I? What do you have for me?” Azure scoffed and questioned.. He questioned the intentions of The Spectre.. “What, is it another pathetic cult?”
“Well.. It can be compared to a ‘cult..’ You and me are very similar my friend.. We both want revenge on pathetic, worthless prey..” 1x grabbed out his swords.. The Daemonshank, glitching in his hands.. “Two Time.. Isn’t that the one you want to see dead?”
“Tch.. So you know of them, huh? So.. You’re saying that if I join this ‘cult’ of yours.. Then I get to endlessly murder them, over and over..?” Azure leaned onto a broken pillar.. “Well.. If that’s your intention.. Then you can count me in..”
“Well then.. Please follow me.. The Spectre is waiting for my return.. Don’t stray away too far now..” 1x steps off the platform.. Making sure Azure’s close behind..
“I won’t.. You expect me to be this idiotic? How absurd..” Azure followed behind 1x.. He crossed his hands as they walked along the path beside the poison river..
Soon, they reached the ‘cult’ of the Spectre.. 1x opens the gate, signaling Azure to come in.. “Welcome to the Spectre, ‘friend..’ Please, come in..”
“Yeesh.. You’re so polite for someone whose a ‘Killer..’ Tch.. Whatever..” Azure stepped into the palace, he looked around.. Noticing the symbols carved in pillars and walls.. “This must be ‘the Spectre’ huh..”
“Indeed.. Follow me, the Spectre seeks a confrontation with you.. and me..” 1x steps in.. He puts his swords by his waist..
“Fine.. Hope your pathetic god can enlighten me..” Azure scoffed.. He was clearly annoyed and just wanted to go kill Two Time already.. The two of them walk down the hall.. Where the Spectre awaits them..
