This isn't x reader by the way you literally means you .
Syko stares at you with his crimson eyes and white hair over his eyes " Hello " he smiles staring directly at you as you imagine him " Did you read anything interesting about me ? " " Syko they can't hear you " " Why ? " " Someone made it that way but you can tell they are watching after all you can tell someone is imagining about you "
Syko turned his eyes back on you " Okay then I'll say a joke " " Have fun " " Syko smiles and turns back to you " " Do you know humans drink more water than blood ? " he knew that he couldn't hear what you will say and continued " yeah of course , I mean when have you seen blood drink water ? "
He laughed at his own joke staring right where you are watching him as he smiled at you " By the way I drink at least 7 glasses a day " he smiles as his clean white teeth slowly gets stained with blood from clenching his teeth really hard that his gums bled .
...
Syko woke up with eyes shut and rolled to the side away from Levers ' Hungry ' he reached around for his backpack and unzipped a zipper it pulling out cotton from Patches ' Wrong one ' he pushed the cotton back in Patches while it slept .
He wonders if one of the toys took his bag by accident and found it dispelling the thought , opening it to take out some water and drinking it as the hand returned inside the bag " Syko why did you take my stuffing out ? "
Patches asked tiredly from sleeping " I thought you were my bag and I got thirsty " " Let me sleep " Lever rolled to Patches and they were all tired trying to fall back to sleep again . Syko yawned and Patches also felt thirsty from letting air dry up its body .
" Can I have some too ? " " Okay " Syko grabbed the bag and a limb with claws picked up water and poured it over Patches " AHHH " Lever got up to avoid the water and saw the claw " AHHHH ! "
The claw returned to the bag and with all the tiredness out of Lever's body Lever couldn't just fall asleep " so noisy " Patches complained " Ugh Syko please tell me that isn't another monster " even if Lever was sleepy its body was weak to keep standing up as it fell on Patches again .
" Ugh I wished I don't see more monsters " Lever said " But I have plenty inside me " Lever jolted up again and stared in disbelief " What ? " " Yeah that monster just came out of my imaginations but not me " Lever groaned " But how did you have them inside you ? " " I think I just stare at them for a very long time "
Lever imagined the creepy face of the train from yesterday and shuddered " I don't think I can look at it for so long , how did you even make them appear ? " Syko looks up at the ceiling " It's like thinking it might appear , big sis said that the monster that will appear is what I make and what I think "
" I don't get it " " Me neither I'm just saying what she said " Syko said " So what happens when the monsters are inside you ? " Syko turns his head to look at his two friends " They become a part of me " " Really ? " Patches asked " Yep I can show you one part just look at the dark "
Patches did that and beside Syko's small shadow a claw appeared " AAHHHH " Lever screamed the claw waved at Patches as it returned back to the shadow " Do it again but do it on my shadow this time " Patches asked excited " Okay "
A claw raised from under Patches as Lever backed away holding its scream back " Whoa " the claw returned back to the floor " That was fun " " I know sometimes I play with them so much look I can also do this " black mist spread from Syko's shadow as faces of monsters appeared " Wow " " Yeah I know right they look creepy at first but I got used to it "
" Weirdos , stop playing with those monsters what if they try to kill us " Lever said and had all the energy depleted to feel a bit scared " Don't worry they're already dead " Lever looks at the faces " They look so much alive !! " " Because they're part of me " Lever gave up on communication and rolled away from Patches .
" Syko how did you die ? " Patches asked " Uhm I died because of knives falling on me , My jaw being ripped out , My eyes were gouged " " Who did it let's go kill them for revenge !! " Syko looks at Patches and smiles " Don't worry no one can beat me in my games I just killed myself "
" Huh ? " " There were some very fun games that Jigsaw made for his victims , all of them were very painful , so I had to try making my own " Patches thinks of the contraptions that would kill and couldn't think of one " Lever do you know how Syko dies by having his eyes gouged out ? "
" I'm tryna sleep " Lever said as the mist returned to Syko " How about we eat ? " Lever jolted awake wondering what food Syko will make " LET'S GO " Syko made a smile being carried by Lever and Patches was taken too to the fast food place from yesterday .
Lever rolled its wheels passing by the creations of yesterday " What are you making ? " " Maybe bacon and eggs " " What's that ? " Patches asked " It's the meat of a pig and the unborn baby of a chicken " " Who told you that ? " Patches asked " My siblings , they teach me a lot of things "
" I thought snakes come from eggs " Patches said " They do , the eggs that I usually eat just come from a chicken instead of a snake " " I never tried any eggs do you think they go bad ? " Patches mentioned " I don't know but I do know I always have eggs in Claws "
Patches looked at the backpack very far from them " We left Claws behind " Patches said " WHAT !? " " Don't worry I can get it back " Syko said as Claws fell into the shadow and Lever was tripped by the backpack making it drop the two talking luggage .
" Okay Let's go eat " Syko entered the kitchen in the restaurant beside them " But that's not where we were yesterday " " But we can eat " Patches told Lever as it switched gears and picked itself up " How do you have food inside ? " Patches asked " Oh because Claws is made from many monsters it can freeze and have more room inside "
Syko took out an egg tray from his backpack and bacon " See , also can you help me ? " Syko put his bag down and grabbed something inside " Patches help me " Syko pulled with all his might and Patches reached to help him as they carried a sack of 25 kilograms of rice .
" Why is this thing heavy but Claws is light ? " Patches looked at the sack " I don't know but it is much easier to carry it now " Lever looked at Claws and poked it to see if it is alive or not while Syko put the rice to cook " Now we wait 30 minutes "
Lever looked at the rice cooker as the timer started " Why ? " " Because it says so " " But I wanna eat " Lever sulked and Syko comforted it " Maybe we can eat now " Syko went to his bag and pulled out a device .
" Here it is " Syko showed Lever the device " What's that ? " Patches asked curiously while Lever was confused as to what the purpose of the device was " It makes food my sister made it because she didn't want to cook , so she build this and then gave it to me "
Syko put a plate in the machine and closed the door " What do you want to eat ? " " I don't know I just wanna eat now " Lever said so Syko put the setting on random as the machine scanned the plate recording data from the plate itself down to the atoms it was made out of .
The plate was changed into tacos full of cooked and warm food " Here " Lever looked at the warm taco not caring how it was made and ate it " taste good " Patches looked at the machine and wonders how it works " Want some ? " Syko showed the other taco while eating one .
Patches looked at the appetizing food " Okay " it took a bite and as unbelievable as it is " It taste hot " Patches said " Because there is chili inside " " What's that ? " Patches asked " Sis said that it has something that feels like it is burning your tongue " " Why would you eat this " Lever complained using its soul to cleanse the taste that betrayed it with the delayed spice .
" I'm overheating " Lever looks at the freezer and gets in to bask in the freezing air " haaa cold " " I think it tastes good though " Patches took the half that Lever left " Yep sometimes it reaches your brain " Syko said " It feels much better though maybe it will taste good if there is sugar "
Syko looked at Claws and reached inside " Here " he showed chili powder mixed with sugar " You can have some " Patches looked at the powder and made a needle from its soul as the bright needle poked through the powder while some was sticking to the needle .
It ate some " Tasty " " I know it even tastes good if you eat it with bacon " Syko said and Patches wondered when Syko was gonna start cooking " Do you want to try ? " Patches imagined the bacon a flavor not familiar to it with the powder " Okay how do you do it ? "
The bacon was dropped on the pan as they here sizzle " Then we wait until it is well cooked " Lever looks at the bacon as it sizzles " How do you cook ? " Lever asked " Oh we just have to make sure the heat goes through the food I don't know how it works but big brother told me that's how food is cooked . "
Lever thought of the dream about fire it had at night and then fire appeared on its head manifesting it " Lever why is your head on fire ? " Patches asked a few steps away arming its body with its soul hoping it would stop the heat " Huh " Lever looks at a door where the bathroom mirror showed fire " FIRE !!! " Lever went to put it down .
" Why is it Black shouldn't it be red or blue " Lever's failed attempts to extinguish the fire on top of it were interrupted " Don't worry you just learned how to make soul fire " " Soul fire !!!??? " Lever was confused but still tried to extinguish it " Soul fire is something that comes from your souls just like my monsters "
" So this thing is gonna burn me ? " " No it's not even spreading " Syko pointed out as Lever took a look as the fire was still the same size " Maybe it won't burn me " Patches said as it neared the fire " PATCHES WAIT "
One touch of the fire caused Patches's entire soul to burn as it had used a conduit to let it burn " FIRE " Patches ran to a faucet beside the mirror to get rid of the fire scorching its body and soul . Lever's urge to remove the fire became greater thanks to seeing what it had done to Patches .
Syko looked at the bacon sizzling and scooped it out shoving it to Lever's mouth " Hmm ? " the fire on its head was extinguished as well as the fire on Patches " Huh ? " " So you wanted to cook the bacon ? " Lever was reminded of the original purpose of the fire " What happened ? " " Your soul fire is gone "
" But why did it appear " Lever asked Syko since he has been mostly calm " That's because you wanted the bacon to cook so you made fire ? " " I don't get it " Lever said and Patches wring itself and went back to them " Me neither , they just said that my monsters come from my feelings maybe you just wanted to make the bacon to cook "
Lever looks at the other bacon and pointed at it " Cook ? " the bacon ignited scaring Lever as the fire faded the bacon was well down but not crispy " So you can cook bacon now ? " Patches looked at the bacon and ate one as Lever looked at the rice cooker " What if I try to cook the rice ? "
" Wait ? " Syko said as he was not sure until Lever ignited the rice cooker by accident destroying the power as darkness fell " Sorry " Lever said embarassed " It's okay " " I can't see " Patches said .
" Lever why not try to make a small fire to see ? " Lever thought about it as the black fire appeared which didn't provide light " The fire is colored black " Lever said remembering how it looked like before .
" Maybe think of a fire of a different color " Patches suggested and a blue fire appeared " Blue isn't bright enough maybe try white " Syko said and the fire turned white and they all looked around " Syko you're not gonna make another monster are you ? " Lever asked " Nope I feel too hungry to do that how about we go and fix the electricity ? "
" I don't know how to go there " Lever said " I do " Patches led the way while Syko took out a flashlight to light the way " Can't you just take as there with your shadows ? " " I can but I don't know where it is " " It's the floor above us " Patches said .
Syko looked up and then at his foot "Then up we go " mist spread from Syko and cleared to show them to a higher floor " Wow " " As long as I know how to get there I can go there " " But that's what directions do " Patches said " Can we just hurry and fix the light it's getting dark "
Patches looked at Lever who seems to be holding back some emotions " Lever are you afraid of the dark ? " Patches asked " Oh I was afraid of the dark too " Syko said hoping to assure Lever " Shut up okay " Lever said embarrassed that it had its fear known .
" You must've been hiding it for so long that I didn't notice did Syko's monster scare you that much ? " Patches asked " Shut up you're lucky you have a place to live in I can only stay inside an old shack far from the light " " Shack ? " Syko asked .
" Yeah it had a lot of machines where I build this body from I couldn't make a big fire or it will burn the shack down " Lever said as they continued walking to the room " What kind of machines were inside the shack ? " Syko asked " The ones that moved when you power them "
" What form of energy did they run on ? " Patches asked to exercise its amassed knowledge from its stay in the mall " I don't know I just took parts by parts and then make them work on my own " Lever said as it accidentally explained how its soul was much stronger than Patches .
" Maybe you should read a book I managed to keep Syko alive when I replaced his limbs ? " " Wanna have that game again ? " Patches recalled the game and without malevolent intent , it nodded " It does sound fun if I knew you weren't tryna kill me " " You wanted to kill me first " Syko argued back as Lever groans at the two .
" It's not like you're not the same remember that thing from yesterday you help us kill it " Patches said " I know can we hurry up ? " Patches stopped and turned to a room " I don't really know what happened though " Patches said not understanding how to fix the problem " I thought you was smart ? " " You are " Patches corrected Lever as it was confused .
" I smell something burned " Syko said and traced the smell " Found it " He went to fix the problem and then electricity hit him " ow " Syko shook his hand and blew on it " Maybe we should close it " Patches said and looked for the right lever " Found the lever " " But I'm here " " I'm talking about this " Patches pulled the lever to shut the electricity " Try now "
Syko fixed the problem " Try turning it on this time " Patches pushed the lever back in position as the lights came back " It worked ! " Lever said as the fire it made disappeared " We still have to fix the rice cooker " Syko said " Right breakfast here we come " Lever picked the two again as it fell through its shadow due to Syko's interference .
They fell inside the kitchen as the rice cooker beeped " Ting " " It's cooked ? " Lever thought it broke the rice cooker " Whatever time to eat " Lever went to the bacon and eggs " Wait " Syko said " You can cook the bacon but we have to cook the eggs ourselves " " Huh ? " Syko took out a book showing the many amazing ways to cook an egg .
" Boiled eggs are boring so we have to cook them in a pan it will be tastier that way " the two toys looked at the image not understanding what it would feel as they have long forgotten it " Then you cook " Patches suggested and Syko smiles " Alright it will only be a few minutes "
Syko found some cooking surface ( I don't know what it is called but it is where live cooking is done due to the space ) and he found some metal rings to shape the egg as he started the heat and spread the oil .
Claws was also helping him cracking an egg and drop its contents inside the rings while Lever cooked the bacon wanting more . Patches thought that this occasion was something it had to do properly and prepared plates outside and Syko put punches of salt and peppers on the egg while Claws picked up the cooked eggs on a plate .
" Time to eat " Syko said and Patches sat on a chair in front of a plate while Lever took the bacon by hand . The two looked at it and it looked at the plate full of eggs " Was I supposed to use that ? " Patches nodded and Syko went to grab a plate .
They looked at the warm food and Lever snuck a few bacon into its mouth " Thank you for the meal " Syko said and they all started eating .
...
Pinocchio finally freed himself of the chains and walked to the dark morning ' There's bound to be a settlement if I follow the train tracks ' He knew what this world is like , always dark and lifeless so a settlement means a place with plenty of material and a place to rest .
He spotted the mall in the distance and continued walking to the location the light disappeared giving him a reason to rise his guard ' I don't know the enemy but I still need the materials ' supported himself using the tree as he took away the wood the tree is made off to fix himself .
He moved his limbs a little checking for any problems and walked to the mall as the lights turned back on and he saw the toys roaming around ' This is an unfamiliar world ' He felt some stuffies on him and saw one stitch his clothes " What ? "
The stuffi continued to stitch until everything was well woven . They showed their hands out assuming that Pinocchio knew about the rules . He looked at the hand which was like a child's stuff toy back at his old home and compared the gesture to a seller .
He dig into his pockets and showed a few coins . Once he handed it to stuffi in front of him it looked at the coins and started stomping its foot and started to punch Pinocchio even if it didn't affect him . He sensed the anger and finds it familiar when he gave the wrong currency to the seller .
He picked the stuffi up and then showed his hand imitating its actions as it dropped the coins , he let it down and put a knee down " What do you actually want ? " he thought it was worth trying to communicate and it pointed at an arcade .
He was confused and the stuffi took his hand leading him to the arcade . It pointed at a game that wasn't working ' So this is an alternative solution there was someone who washed the dishes after they couldn't pay the bill '
" I'll get some tools first " ' All the metal I had is wasted ' he looked at the other toys playing and returned to the task after getting information ' There are two kinds inhabitants in this strange building , One like dolls and the other like metal puppets '
He marked the toys as non-hostile and assumes that they are welcoming after his interaction as he look at the screw and made a screwdriver's head shape on his finger ' This screw is not too tightly inside I can make do with just this ' He removed the screws quickly and pulled the metal out to see the inside works of the machine .
' Unfamiliar technology but should be easy to learn ' he put his hand into it and made it a part of him as he gained memories of the materials . In order for him to magically come to life he needed the ability to remember but without the special organ to do it or a brain , he uses his own soul to recall memories using his body as a medium and it's constantly attached .
He had this skill to speed up his growth . And he saw the memory showing a talking doll , contraption and something awfully familiar a young human boy ' This memory is very recent at least yesterday ' he delved even deeper as he experienced the same thing when he used this skill before he fought with Fohll .
" I'm gonna go play some games " Syko said and left the two who were stuffed and wanted to rest . Syko didn't eat much so he had a lot of energy in him and ran to the arcade . He look at Pinocchio reading the memories and the stuffi that approach the marionette , ran to Syko .
" So you found him and stitch his clothes and you asked him to play with you ? " the stuffi nodded and Syko looked at Pinocchio and watched him just stay there " He wears so nice clothes " the stuffi agreed by nodding as it had felt the fabric went it was stitching it " But why did he want to fix it "
The stuffi shrugged its shoulders as it also doesn't understand why " How about we play air hockey once he is done ? " the stuffi nodded and jumped off the bench as Pinocchio finished " I fixed it " Syko didn't know how he fixed something that was never broken and Pinocchio saw Syko .
' The minority of a group is always considered special ' he tries see through Syko to see his memories as the inhabitant of this world " Oh Hello you can call me Kio " he had to use a fake name and learned how to hide away his lies .
Syko looked at Pinocchio and smiled " Then call me Syko " he showed his hands and Pinocchio increased his strength as he slowly reached to grab Syko's hand to see through his memories until , he saw monsters .
They all looked dead and soulless but their visuals and audio were nothing you can laugh at . And like how fear can make time feel longer Pinocchio spent time witnessing everything . He didn't have a heart to show his fear but he looked at the otherworldly forms and terrifying sounds .
' This child is special ' thanks to having an incomplete soul he failed to fear as he shook the hand what was supposed to be a few seconds felt like minutes " The stuffi just wanted to play with you , you didn't really have to fix that " Syko snapped Pinocchio out of the nightmarish hellscape which was the surface that Pinocchio tapped into .
He looked at his hands and recalled the memories and found a small monster ' It looks dead ' Syko played with the stuffi air hockey and Pinocchio concentrated on the monster as the sounds of the game starts to give him ideas which strengthened the monster .
He always hears the sound of the game . The chaotic sounds start to become rhythmic in his head as he was shut off from reality like a nightmare . He looked at the little monster which started to become the fear as the ticking of the machines continued .
The sounds slowly become distorted and then the stuffi won which triggered the monster via Pinocchio's cautious mind and grew a limb swinging at Pinocchio as he duck down to avoid the strike ' Tsk ' He went to the back and pulled out a sword " Huh "
He was confused and snapped back to battle as he remembered that he was fighting a monster . He suddenly understands where he is ' The monster isn't so hard to fight but the hard part is its heavy attacks '
He always expects the worse he can avoid which fed the monster with attacks he is expecting like imagining a monster to suddenly appear in front of you or waiting outside for you to open the door .
The attacks were easy to dodge for him since the worst outcome was when he can't take on an attack . He never thought of it since there is no point in expecting an attack and preparing for it when he can't do anything . This fight went on for a while until he noticed something
' This monster is not too hard to fight ' He dodged another expected attack " Wait " he stopped himself and looks at the monster ' Right ' He tilted his body as a limb slams ' Jump ' The long limb spun and Pinocchio understood that nature and stopped predicting the attacks ' This monster is not something I should worry about '
He thinks of the monster pulling its limbs back in and stopped himself from thinking of an impossible-to-dodge attack as the monster shrunk . He looked at it and had to keep his intrusive thoughts away as he imagined a much more docile appearance as the monster turned into a little doll he saw inside his adoptive sister's room .
The doll was a very perfect doll made of porcelain and when he got close to the doll he destroyed it as the hollowed broken doll broke down and he opens his eyes hearing Syko complain " Ow my hand " he looked at Syko and wonders how those monsters invaded his mind .
" Syko what is this place ? " Patches asked " Kio are you lost too ? " Syko ashed " Too ? " " Yep I found this place and made new friends on the way " ' Friends , must be those two toys that fought over centuries '
" Syko who is this ? " Patches asked and Lever looked blankly at Pinocchio " Oh he is Kio he looks like he comes from a rich family but I don't know how he got lost "
" But hasn't all life been destroyed so long ago ? " Lever asked " Yeah " Syko looked at Pinocchio and Patches also did the same " I don't actually know about what happened I just ran away from home one day " Pinocchio hid some truth to form a fake lie " Maybe you time traveled " Syko said really just guessing his origin .
" Is that possible ? " Patches asked " What's that ? " " I don't know " Syko answered both of them " Well let's go fix the train maybe we can find the house Lever used to live in " Syko said and Pinocchio looked at them " Kio do you wanna eat ? " " No need I don't feel hungry " " Then let's go " Syko said as they headed down to fix the train .
" That is a strange train ? " " It's a future train at least to you it is and besides that is a market where people get food " Syko said as he carried Claws on his back " It's broken so we'll have to fix it so we can ride to the next station " Syko said ' How are they planning to fix it and how are those toys eating ? '
Pinocchio didn't understand how the two toys were able to eat with their different bodies . He can make sense that he has human features even if he is a doll " Okay I'll fix the train now " Syko put Claws out and let all the parts he harvested from the train yesterday leaves as they floated .
Pinocchio looked at the parts as they flew to the old train and Syko ran to the light switch turning it off and causing monsters to surface in the darkness that covered the train " Now we wait " Pinocchio heard creepy sounds feeling as if something is going to sprout out of the darkness .
He feels alone and it was terrifying unlike the two toys they have always been alone only fighting occasionally so they didn't fear imagining a monster to suddenly appear around the corner . But Pinocchio who always needed his guard up had to guess where are the possible places an attack could happen .
Their weak shadows stretched to reach the train thanks to the lighting and when Syko flipped back the lights . The lights revealed a new train " Let's go " " Wait what about snacks ? " Lever asked and Syko showed Claws " I have some inside "
" What kind " Lever asked and they entered " I don't know I usually have to go to the mythic express to get them sometimes I get cookies from Santa " " But didn't you say you didn't meet him ? " Patches asked " Yeah I haven't met him " Syko took out a book .
" It's just that I only know about him from the people in this book " Syko showed the book titled "where stories are real" " In this book the stories of Santa are all real including the easter bunny . "
Pinocchio looked at the book and saw another version of him inside . It was a young boy and man beside him with a name tag that showed Gepetto . Pinocchio looked at Syko hiding his suspicion .
' No this child may seem terrifying but I can't judge someone moreover he hasn't done anything and this book has some sort of strange power imbued to it ' " Kio you okay ? " Syko asked looking at Pinocchio as if he had a heavy headache .
" Ah sorry I just lost focus " " Then lay down " Syko took Pinocchio and the two toys followed them to a section of the train where there was a bed " You can rest here while I start the train " Syko threw the blanket over the marionette and then patted his hair .
" Wanna help me start the train ? " Lever was paranoid that the train will eat them from the inside " We just restart the heart with these " Syko showed them the machine used to restart a heart .
" We just electrocute the heart with these " Syko started the machine rubbing the surface used to channel the voltage to demonstrate and then they went to the front where the heart was latched under the floor with the metal plates being put aside .
" Charge " Syko hit the heart with a certain degree of voltage charging it up as it started to eat through the dormant battery and the train starts to move " It's working " Syko said " I'll put back the floor " Lever looked at the fire remembering that it used the fire to weld metal on flesh when they were in candyland .
" What do we do about Kio ? " Patches asked " Hmm let him rest he helped a stuffi fix so this is our way of thanking him plus he was lost " Patches looked at the door as the train surfaced through the tunnel .
" Hey , can we go into this book ? " Patches locked the door not trusting someone it barely interacted " Oh okay we can go but what about the train ? " " It's okay let's just go " Patches said pressing a few buttons " Okay the train is ready "
" You sure it looked like you pressed random buttons " Lever said " To you it does I was reading how to move a train before so I know what I was doing " Patches bragged and Syko smiled " Then let's go " he put the book down as the pages flipped by themselves .
