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..
Chapter 2: Another Pawn..
Summary:
1x and Azure started to hate each other after the meeting with the Spectre.
Notes:
Wow you actually read chapter one!! Here’s chapter two i guess which is mostly these two arguing lol-
Chapter Text
“You’re back, my precious pawn..” The voice of the Spectre echoed within the altar and the halls.. “Looks like you found something you deemed worthy of my gaze.. Isn’t that right?”
“Indeed, I have.. My lord..” 1x kneeled down.. Giving a quick glance to Azure who was more or not, annoyed.. “I brought the new pawn you asked for.. O’ Great Spectre..”
“Tell me this new pawn’s name..” The Spectre spoke.. 1x could feel its voice echoing through the halls and the altar room..
1x slightly nudged at Azure.. “State your name for the Spectre, now.” He was annoyed by the fact that Azure wasn’t showing any respect for the Spectre.. “How insolent.. This pathetic creature can’t seem to be respectful, can’t it?” He thought to himself..
Azure, slightly annoyed, said their name.. “Azure..” They gave a quick, annoyed glance at 1x, practically saying to him, “What?” in an annoyed tone..
“I see.. I can see your anger and hatred.. Oh how it feeds my everlasting bloodlust.. You and 1x are the same in goal.. Oh, how will this be interesting..!” The Spectre’s voice echoed.. Followed by maniacal laughter.. It was clear that the Spectre was amused by its new pawn.. “This confrontation is over, go my pawns, amuse me!” It laughed out again..
1x nodded and got off his knees.. Signaling Azure to follow behind.. He was visibly annoyed by the little respect shown for the Spectre and that attitude that Azure had.. “Get going, I got someone to kill.”
“Well so do I. That meeting took hours off my precious time to go kill that stupid BACKSTABBER that betrayed me..!” Azure hissed at 1x.. They were getting impatient and bloodthirsty.. Their desire to kill Two Time was getting ahead of them..
“Oh? Tch.. Maybe if you were more respectful then it would’ve been shorter! Stop whining and just follow me for the Spectre’s sake!” 1x hissed back.. The two were already bickering and it hasn’t even been a day since they’ve met.
“Fine, you fucking nuisance! I’ll follow you, there fucking happy now!?” Azure was getting more visibly angry and annoyed with 1x.. They wanted to already cut to the damn chase and get straight to killing..
“Show some more respect and maybe I’ll be pleased! You’re so fucking ignorant and impatient that it makes no fucking sense how the Spectre is pleased with you!” 1x was now shouting at Azure.. He locked eyes with them and had a death glare in his eyes.. His grip on his sword tightened as he almost wanted to just kill Azure right here and there.. He now wished that he hadn’t revived Azure and instead left them dead..
“So!? You’re practically just a fucking mass murder who acts like they had actual sympathy from their creator in the past! Get fucking over it, you blindheaded hogwash!” Azure was also now shouting at 1x too.. They wanted him dead as well, preferring to have stayed a corspe instead of being here..
1x was about to draw their swords.. But before they were able to.. The Spectre’s laugh had greatly echoed through the halls..
“Oh please! Amuse me more, my pawns! Your hatred for each other tastes so damn divine!” It laughed in pleasure.. It was clearly enjoying the bickering between the two.. “Oh wait! Don’t you two have an order to get to? WELL GET TO IT!” The Spectre laughed again..
“Tch.. Understood..” Both 1x and Azure scoffed.. They started walking down the hall again, both were quiet.. Giving each other death glares from time to time.. Soon they reached the main exit and departed.. It was time for another round of killing to start..
Chapter 3: Near Death..

1x and Azure started killing Two Time and Shedletsky but ends up arguing when they couldn’t kill them in time.. Features Shedletsky, Two Time, Elliot, Noob, Chance, Guest 1337, Dusekkar, and Builderman.
Notes:
Woah??? You actually read chapter
two?? Here’s chapter 3!! (More arguing lol-)
(Atp, this is Js smut-)
Chapter Text
The clock was ticking.. 1x and Azure were both off doing their own things, only focusing on who they wanted to kill the most..
1x absolutely wanted to kill his creator, Shedletsky, for forsaking him when he was young.. He felt betrayed by his own creator, wanting to kill him and see him dead..
Meanwhile, Azure absolutely wanted Two Time dead after they had sacrificed them for their second life, finding it as a betrayal to their relationship..
With only 3 minutes on the clock mean that they needed to hurry. Even if 3 minutes does seem generous to their goals, both 1x and Azure still had their hatred for each other.. They both wanted each other dead, seeing each other as nothing but worthless prey blocking their ways, unable to do anything about it,.
[1x’s and Shedletsky’s side..]
“What is it, Shedletsky? Can’t handle your own creation? Well MAYBE IF YOU HAVEN’T ABANDONED ME YOU WOULD’VE NEVER BEEN FORSAKEN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU TRAITOR!” 1x let out some laughs.. He was growing more maniacal with each moment.. With his only goal being to see Shedletsky dead in the hands of his own creation..
“Ugh..! Damn it..!” Shedletsky was pinned onto the ground by one of 1x’s swords, with his own being thrown out on the side.. He was bleeding a LOT, with blood all over his face and clothes..
“AND YET YOU STILL CALL YOURSELF HUMAN!? HOW COULD YOU BE ONE AFTER ABANDONING YOUR OWN CREATION..!? YOU’RE NOTHING BUT PATHETIC AND CRUEL!” 1x had tears in his eyes.. He felt immense anger for what Shedletsky had done to him when he was young.. Knowing why he had abandoned him.. But not understanding why it was him..
Shedletsky would suddenly notice the tears as they drip out from 1x’s eyes.. But he was weakened.. Unable to do or say anything, only able to see and hear..
“HELLO!? ARE YOU GOING TO ANSWER ME, OLD MAN!?” 1x lashed out at him.. He was growing more angry and angry.. The tears fell down even faster.. “I’M TIRED OF BEING IGNORED BY YOU. I’M TIRED OF THE LIES YOU TOLD THEM ABOUT US, EVERY DAMN ONE. I’M TIRED OF YOU RUNNING AWAY FROM THE TRUTH!”
1x noticed that there was now only a minute on the clock.. He took one of his sword and was able to stab Shedletsky.. Until he suddenly gets interrupted.. A tentacle stabbing through his chest.. 1x was unable to die, only feeling pain.. He knew whose tentacle this was.. It was no one else.. but Azure’s..
[Azure’s and Two Time’s side..]
“Oh finally..! I’ve been waiting for this damn moment for so long now..! YOU WON’T ESCAPE ME, YOU BACKSTABBER!” Azure laughed at Two Time.. They were weak and pathetic right now, weakened down by their second life.. Azure was pleased with seeing Two Time weak and under their feet..
Two Time was trying to force out a smile.. But the pain was too much for them.. They look up at Azure.. Hoping to get some mercy, since they were once romantic partners.. “Please Azure..! I’m sorry..! I’m sorry..! Please, I’m sorry..!”
“DO YOU THINK I WOULD FORGIVE YOU AFTER WHAT YOU HAD DONE!? NO, YOU IDIOTIC BACKSTABBER! YOU BETRAYED MY TRUST, MY LOVE, AND OUR RELATIONSHIP..! DO YOU NOT FEEL MY ANGER!?” Azure’s eyes were filling up with tears.. Their anger getting ahead of them, they only wanted to see Two Time die by their hands..
“Please..! Please..!” Each word coming out of Two Time’s mouth was slurred by their tears, their sobs.. They felt immense guilt of what they’ve done.. The only thing they could do right now is beg, beg for forgiveness and mercy..
“SHUT IT! I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING COME OUT OF YOUR WORTHLESS MOUTH ANYMORE!” Azure was done with Two Time.. They took one of their tentacles and was able to strike Two Time before Chance had shot them.. Stunning them to accidentally hit 1x instead..
[CLOCK TIMER: 0:00]
The survivors were teleported back into their shelter, their retreat.. It was close by to where 1x and Azure were, but instead of trying to ambush the survivors, 1x and Azure would instead turn their anger on each other..
“Damn it, YOU MOTHERFUCKER! WHY DID YOU FUCKING STAB ME, YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO STAB THE FUCKING SURVIVORS!” 1x was now entirely focusing on Azure.. He gave them a raging death glare, his malice and hatred taking over..
“DO YOU FUCKING THINK I WANTED TO STAB YOU!? NO, YOU BITCH! I WAS CLEARLY INTERRUPTED BY ONE OF THOSE STUPID SENTINELS!” Azure gave 1x a death glare back.. Also filled with malice and hatred, the two lock eyes.. 1x’s grip tightening on his swords.. Azure’s tentacles going into an offensive position..
“I WISH YOU WERE STILL THAT FUCKING CORPSE! YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED DEAD INSTEAD!” 1x lashed out at Azure.. His tears were gone, only feeling a burning sense of rage and anger at them..
“YEAH, MAYBE I SHOULD’VE STAYED DEAD! MAYBE I SHOULD’VE REJECT THAT OFFER OF YOURS!” Azure lashed back at 1x.. Their tears were also gone now, replaced by a rage and anger.. They wanted 1x dead so badly..
1x took his swords and stabs Azure in the chest.. He pinned Azure down onto the ground.. Now covered in Azure’s blood..
Azure signaled their tentacles to stab through 1x again.. Azure’s tentacles pierce through 1x’s chest, letting some of his blood flow onto Azure’s chest..
“GO FUCKING KILL YOURSELF!” Both 1x and Azure shouted at each other.. They were both in immense pain but that was being overthrown by their strong sense of hatred for each other..
Meanwhile, at the Survivors’ retreat..
Two Time and Shedletsky were being treated by Elliot.. Everything was fine until someone points out 1x and Azure..
“Y’all look! Wasn’t that the killers of last round?” Noob pointed at the two, who were now dueling with each other, with 1x’s Mass Infections going everywhere.. “Holy shit, they’re dueling!”
“What!? Holy shit, I needa see!” Chance rushed over to the window.. Soon enough, everyone’s interest was set on 1x and Azure who were going all out on each other.. Even Two Time and Shedletsky were surprised at this..
“They’re going all out on each other.. How strange..” Builderman watched the two closely.. Discussing what he thinks is happening with Dueskkar.. Chance and Noob were just betting on who would win.. Two Time, Shedletsky, and Elliot were all watching in awe and confusion.. There was nothing else happening, everyone has their eyes set on the two..
Meanwhile, with 1x and Azure..
“THIS IS MASS INFECTION!” 1x sent out multiple Mass Infections and Entanglements while Azure was sending out their attacks and abilities.. The two were so focused on killing each other that they didn’t notice what time it was.. Maniacal laughter can be heard.. The Spectre was here..
“Shit..!” 1x and Azure fell down onto their knees as the Spectre casted its divine chains on the two, forcing them to kneel before it, preventing them from doing anything..
“Oh, my dear pawns!” It laughed in amusement.. “You have entertained me so greatly! But I would say it’s about time to return, isn’t it? I wouldn’t want my two favorite pawns gone, wouldn’t I?~” The Spectre’s sly tone was already enough of a hint to tell them to stop their shit and start heading back.
“Understood, great Spectre..” The two scoffed, glaring at each other.. The Spectre’s chains were heavy and was strong enough to keep the two in place..
“With that done, you two may head back now. Don’t get into more trouble in the way, I won’t always be here to stop you, am I?~” The Spectre laughed.. Its chains shatters and fade into metal shards.. The two glanced at each other before walking back to the ‘cult’ of the Spectre.. The two walked in silence as they were covered in wounds from the fight earlier.. As they walk along the barren landscape of the Spectre, the two would never expect what would become of them.. (in later chapters.. ;3)
Chapter 4: Unwanted Wounds..
Summary:
1x and Azure get back to the ‘cult’ of the Spectre and is greeted by John Doe and the other killers.. They were covered in wounds from the fight earlier and immediately needed treatment..
Notes:
Wowzers!! You actually read through chapters 1, 2, and 3!! (Shoutout to Kelene for commenting :3)
Holy shit, thanks for 100 hits guys!!!
Chapter Text
1x and Azure had just entered back into the ‘cult’ of the Spectre.. They were all covered in stab and slash wounds from their fight earlier.. The moment they opened the doors, the other killers immediately greeted them..
“Welcome back 1x and Azure- Holy shit, why are you two covered in wounds??” John Doe’s eyes widened at the sight of the two covered in wounds.. “What could’ve possibly happened during that round!? And why did you two return so late?”
“Tch.. Don’t bother asking, Doe..” 1x scoffed.. He crossed him arms, avoiding eye contact with Azure.. “We were just.. ‘dealing with some stuff..’”
“Yea, totally just some ‘stuff..’” Azure scoffed back at 1x.. Clearly annoyed with him..
“Well.. Just go to the medical sector, you need your wounds treated fast..” John Doe concerningly said.. “You two cannot continue entering rounds like this..”
“Alright, alright.. Come on, Azure..” 1x immediately began walking to the medical sector of the ‘cult’ of the Spectre.. Reluctantly signaling Azure to follow him, knowing damn well Azure had no idea where it is..
“Yea, yea. I get it, bitch, I get it.” Azure scoffed, reluctantly following behind him.. They knew damn well that 1x would assume that they didn’t know anything about the damn cult as it was their first day here..
“Show me some damn fucking respect.” 1x angrily said.. His tone showed signs of annoyance, clearly showing he was not pleased with Azure’s tone..
“Whatever, don’t have enough energy to argue with you.” Azure scoffed back at 1x.. Clearly annoyed but wasn’t up to arguing.. He just continued followeing behind 1x, until the two would reach the medical room..
[An hour later, at the medical room..]
1x was sitting up on his bed.. With the white covers over him as 1x was reading a random book he found.. Azure was laying down on their bed.. Covers over them as they tries to sleep.. But they failed, miserably as they hear the door bust open and c00lkidd run in..
“1x!!!!” c00lkidd jumps into 1x’s arms.. Like the little 10 year old child he was.. c00lkidd thinks of 1x as an older brother figure.. “Can I show you my new trick??”
“Alright, alright.. Show me your new trick, kid.” 1x slightly smiles.. He had a soft spot for c00lkidd, letting him play his minions.. It was strange for a physical manifestation of hatred have a soft spot for a kid..
“Watch this!” c00lkidd juggles his brick.. “Isn’t it so cool!? Noli taught me this!” There was sparkles in his eyes.. He wanted to see 1x be proud of him..
“Yes, it is very cool..” 1x lets out a warm smile.. Letting c00lkidd jump into his arms.. “Noli must’ve taught you well, huh?”
“Yea, he did!” c00lkidd was a very naive and young child.. Being only 10 years old.. “Can we play with your minions after you recovered!?”
“Of course. You, Bluudud, and pr3ttyprincess can play with them, I don’t mind.” 1x pat c00lkidd’s head..
Meanwhile, Azure was silently observing the two.. They were a little surprised and scoffed at the fact that 1x had a soft spot for c00lkidd.. They would’ve never expect a physical manifestation of pure hatred to ever have a soft spot.. Unless there was more to 1x than what meets the eye.. Suddenly, John Doe enters the room, and tells them and 1x about an order that the Spectre gave them..
Chapter 5: Flesh and Blood..
Summary:
1x and Azure were ordered to go collect corpses to feed the Spectre’s immense hunger.. But Azure ends up getting on 1x’s nerves.. And they discover something about him they never knew.. (A deeper dive at the lore I made for 1x and Shedletsky aka Telamon)
Notes:
Hey guys, sorry for the INSANELY long hiatus and burnout but I will be feeding you all as I am planning the future chapters of this fanfic and I literally planned from Chapter 6 to 11 in one day so yay- I would also like to warn you all that things will NOT be going well for 1x-
Chapter Text
“You two have an order from the Spectre.” John Doe walks into the medical room, where 1x and Azure were.. “The Spectre says to meet it at the Altar before you two do anything else.. It’s a very specific task, as it says..”
“We see.. I shall do anything for the Spectre..” 1x immediately gets up.. His blades by his side.. He glances at Azure to get up too.. “Are you coming, or not?”
“Fine.. You’re so devoted to this unknown god of yours.. Whatever the Spectre is..” Azure scoffed.. They pull the covers off of themself and gets off the bed.. They walk up to 1x who was already prepared to take on whatever the Spectre assigned him.. ”What useless devotion to such an unknown god.. Pathetic..” Azure thought to themself..
“Just shut up and listen to your orders. I don’t want to start a fight here.” 1x scoffed back at Azure.. He grabs Azure’s arm and dragged him along to the Altar..
“Okay, okay! I get it, you bitch!” Azure yelled. They were trying to walk normally but with 1x dragging them along by their arm wasn’t helping. “I can walk, you know.”
“Tch, you’re just slow.” 1x continues to drag Azure along. Soon they reached the Altar room again, waiting for the Spectre to start speaking..
“Oh, my dear pawns. You must’ve heard that I am starved currently, so go and find me some corpses to eat.” The Spectre’s divine voice echos again.. 1x immediately dragged Azure back out of the hallway and immediately out the doors..
“Tch, you don’t have to drag me, you know?” Azure scoffed, their voice was now full of annoyance.
“Shut it.” 1x finally stopped dragging Azure one they’ve reached the graveyard. “Start getting the bodies.” 1x demanded. He was stern and serious currently, tired of Azure being a bitch and a burden on his shoulders.
“Why do I have to do everything!? Why can’t you do some of the work too!?” Azure lashed out at 1x. They were tired of 1x’s “bossy” acts and wanted him to just stop his “I’m better than you all” act.
“Because I said so! Follow your own orders!” 1x lashed back at Azure. He was ripping off some limbs from the corpses. Each rip getting more aggressive and aggressive as 1x kept his eye on Azure.
“You’re not the damn boss of me! You’re just some slave to the Spectre, a blind mouse chasing its own tail!” Azure was getting more and more angry. They were tired with 1x, they wanted absolutely nothing more than 1x dead right now..
“And so what!? You clearly don’t understand why I am a slave to the Spectre! You currently haven’t been betrayed by EVERYONE YOU KNOW!” 1x was losing his temper, he was at his limit.. “AND SO WHAT IF YOU WERE BETRAYED BY THAT LITTLE FUCKING CULTIST!? TWO TIME, WAS IT!? GO YAP ABOUT HOW YOU BEEN BETRAYED AND STABBED BY YOUR SO CALLED ROMANTIC PARTNER FOR ALL I CARE SINCE YOU CLEARLY WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING I’VE BEEN THROUGH!”
“ KEEP TWO TIME’S NAME OUT OF YOUR ROTTEN MOUTH, YOU PATHETIC SLAVE! YOU CLEARLY WON’T FUCKING LISTEN EVEN IF I DID TELL YOU MY BETRAYAL SINCE YOU ARE SO IGNORANT OF SYMPATHY! MAYBE THAT’S WHY TELAMON LEFT YOU YEARS AGO!<\b>” Azure stared at 1x dead in the eyes.. They gave each other dead glares.. They were no longer able to tolerate each other, wanting each other dead, wanting to see each other’s head on a sliver platter..
There was silence between the two.. They continued ripping the limbs off of each corpse.. As the two were about to head back, there wasn’t much noise between the two, just the sounds of footsteps, blood dripping, and some breathing..
