Chapter 17 - Chapter 17. Voided Room (2)

"You're so annoying!!" Mugen shouted out in the empty voided room, his voice echoing throughout the room… enough for the {white text} to {feel} it…

"Finally, it is quiet…"

Nah, {it} was just messing with Mugen. Mugen knew that the {white text} wouldn't be able to leave them alone, no matter how many times he rudely shouted at it.

"Guys… Stop!" Kim shouted out, he started to realize that he'd been speaking for a while, he let out a confused face… why couldn't he speak before? Is Kim going crazy?

"No!!! I'm not going crazy…"

Kim looks at Mugen, he stares up and down at him, "You really do look like me… it's like I'm looking in a mirror!"

"Finally… now-." Mugen got interrupted by Kim "Before we go on. Who actually are you?" Kim try to get an answer off of Mugen but he didn't answer, his only replied was a question of his own, "Who am I? No.. no!" he grinned sharply, "Why do you hate your last name so much… why Mugen?

Kim didn't answer Mugen question… it's like his last name is a curse for him, it's like his last name has killed his parents, his loved ones, friends-.

"OK STOP IT!!! Stop making it sound like my last name kill my loved one…"

If the {white text} has a face, it would be grinning with chuckles right now but Kim refused to give out an answer.

Kim trying to push up a new topic said "Ok... Mugen… so where are we then?"

"You still haven't answered my questions about why you saved those people and why you hate your last name so much!"

"I told you! I saved those people because they needed help! And my last name is irrelevant!"

"Forget about your last name. When you saw those people at first… you were about to leave them to die.. were you not?"

"So why did you change your mind at the last second? Just go find Vas or why not just go to the bunker?"

"But you decided to be a hero… and look what it got you... beaten up, bruised, and you are unconscious as we are speaking right now…"

Kim looked down, knowing that Mugen was right, he almost died because of what he did… but Kim brush it off and said,

"I just... I didn't want to see those people lose their loved ones.."

"What about yourself? Don't you love yourself?"

"I wasn't thinking just about myself during that time, but only about others..." Kim replied.

Mugen looked at Kim with a anger expression, he thought Kim was a hypocrite.

"What you think you just did was heroic! What you think you did was selfless but it was just selfish! You neglected your life just for your so-called selfish ego, heroic..? You're just a selfish bastard.."

Kim shooks his head, he looked straight at Mugen eye's with a pity expression.

"If I had left those people… would it really be living? Deaths come for us all… what you thought I did was selfish… was actually selfless toward myself and others…"

"Selfless? You think that when you have a heroic death… you would have a good time in the afterlife? It doesn't work like that!" Mugen scoffed at Kim.

Kim looked at Mugen, scared of what he might said but he didn't back down and said what he want to say, "You don't know that..."

"No-no… I KNOW SO!!!" Mugen shouted out, his response was swift, almost as if he knew what Kim was about to say.

Kim was baffled, he glanced at Mugen and ask him ".. Are you really me? You look like me but you aren't acting like me… Your selfish, you don't care about anyone but yourself… so let me asked again… Are you really me?"

"I am!" Mugen said, those word was trembling yet it wasn't.

"No… you thought what I just did was selfish because it don't benefit you… me… we would've died… you're only worry about my life because you're just a part of me.. you're not actually me! You're just the intrusive thought!"

Mugen look at Kim, oh was his eye was so brave, he didn't know how to respond to that… His eye glare up and down at Kim, his eye was sharp, he opened him mouth to yell at Kim, "SHUT UP!!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR NONSENSE!!!"

Mugen knows that Kim is right, that's why he is lashing out right now, sweat begins to form, and it drops down to his cheeks and off his chin… Mugen is acting like a crybaby… he wants his milk-.

"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!"

"YOU'RE SO ANNOYING!!!!"

"WHY WON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP?!?!?" Mugen crash out, he hated Kim but he hate the {white text} the most.

The {white text} if it had a face, arms, legs, or just a body, it would've had started dancing in joy… celebrating {it} annoying Mugen because after all… he can't do anything to the {white text}.

"Argh!!!"

Kim sick of the conversation between the {white text} and Mugen, he know what he had to intervene, "Guys… enough! As much as I like to watch you guys bickering and messing with one another! Again… WHERE ARE WE?!?!" Kim shouted out.

The {white text} said-.

"AND DON'T YOU DARE SAY THE VOIDED ROOM!!! Or imma… uhh… I can't do nothing but.."

Kim also began to feel dumbfounded not being able to do anything to the {white text}.

*sighed* "Mugen was right, you're kinda annoying.."

HEY!!! That wasn't very nice of Kim.. :(

"I'm sorry but I just wanted to know where we are and you kept on repeating it…"

The {white text} accepted Kim's apology but told Kim that Mugen should tell him rather than {it} telling him.

Kim let out a expression of unknowingly, he muttered something under his breath before looking at Mugen.

"Mugen?"

Mugen glanced at him for a moment and looked out to the voided room. Kim continued.

"What is {it} talking about?"

"I won't answer-" Mugen replied back.

"If you don't… I-"

Hearing this, Mugen looked at Kim, his eye filled with raged and stubbornness,

"You'll what? Kill yourself?" His voice was stern, harsh. Kim looked at Mugen with pity and shakes his head.

"No! I'm going to not do anything."

Mugen gritted his teeth, "anything? Not do anything? Why didn't he think of that before getting into situations?" He thought he himself.

"Why didn't you have this type of mindset? The mindset of not dying!"

"Then I wouldn't be living if I had abandoned those people that needed my help!"

Kim strongly looked at Mugen. Mugen know that he shouldn't ignore Kim question, it wasn't fear but something worse, Kim asked Mugen where they are right now.

"Hmph! Fine… I tell you where we are…"

"This place is the voided room and my creation…" Kim tilted his head a little looking at Mugen with confusion, "Creation?" He asked.

Mugen nodded and continued, "I created this voided room…"

Kim looked around the place, "You created this? Did you also create the {white text}?"

No! Mugen didn't create the {white text}, he won't even have a chance to create {it}.

Mugen annoyed by the {white text} shrug it off, "I was just about to say that… but yeah like it is saying, I didn't create it… it was here before I had been here.."

"Huh? Then where did it come from?"

"I don't know… but what I do know is that it is very ANNOYING!!!"

Mugen that's rude but that wasn't surprising coming out of your mouth.

"You guys are playing house in my body?"

Kim looked bewildered, he gaze out at the voided room.

"Wait {white text} what was here before Mugen created this voided room?"

The {white text} didn't say anything… also like it is hiding something… a secret maybe? Or-

"Ok, I get it! Just say you can't tell me.."

Looking down, he turned to Mugen, "Wait! Mugen don't you know?"

"Yes but before you ask any more questions, you also have to answer my questions…"

"Ok then ask me any questions!"

"I don't feel like it right now… I asked what I asked for!"

Kim stares blankly at Mugen, he is thinking to himself just how petty Mugen is… he is an annoying brat!

"Ok, I didn't think all that now…"

Mugen scoffed at Kim.

"I didn't think all of that ok!"

"Yeah, right!"

"You two are going to be the death of me…"

"Death?! Don't you-"

Before Mugen can finish whatever he is saying, Kim doesn't realize this but his body is becoming conscious again and he will have to return to his normal body soon.

"Soon? When is-"

Kim instantly disappeared out of the voided room, no effects, no nothing, just a simple "poof" and he gone.

Oops, I meant now… Mugen also scoffed at the {white text}.

"So annoying… just being alone in here with you.."

The {white text} also thinks Mugen is rude and annoying too.

——-

Kim regained consciousness once again.

He slowly opened his eye.

"Ugh… what happens!"

Kim began to feel all the pains throughout his entire body, it felt as if he had been put in a room full of spikes, needles, and many more sharp things.

"Hey! Quit moving, you might reopen up your wounds!"

Kim looked surpised, why was Uma here?

"Uma!!! Shouldn't you be in the bunker along with Filo?" He looked at the kid next to Uma Micheal, "And the kid next to you…"

Uma Micheal let out a smirk, "Yea but I snuck out while Filo was looking, probably worrying about me right now but eh, I'm pretty strong myself…"

He pointed at the kid next to her, "And the crybaby here."

"Hey!" The young boy shouted.

"Crybaby and I beat up the beat that whipped you... well it was mostly me beating him, this crybaby was just sitting there, staring at me fighting him."

"I help… a bit…"

"And yea, that's about what just happened, need any more context?"

Uma Micheal ask the Bewildered Kim, he shooks his head, "No.. that amount was just enough."

Kim's body still feels the ache of pain throughout his body.

"Oh! While you were unconscious… you were talking to yourself.. which was both sad but funny at the same time!" Uma Micheal told Kim.

Kim asked Uma Micheal what he was saying in his sleep, "You was arguing to yourself. You were also replying and asking questions out of nowhere… it was uhhh madness or craziness I suppose…?"

Kim's face turned all red, he was embarrassed at what a young girl just had told him, if he could move, he would dig himself a giant hole to hide himself in.

"Thanks… for telling me.." he says all flusteredly.

"No problem!" Uma Micheal says with a huge grin on her face.

The three of them then headed the way where the bunker is located in…
