He quickly dropped altitude with the emergency control. The bullets grazed the top of his ship, making loud noises as they pelted the metal. Junior cursed again. The bullets would've scraped his ship. Accidentally, he set off a light lance while controlling his ship once more, bringing it up in altitude to gain on Bob's ship. He turned the ship at a horizontal, and circled around and above Bob's ship, consistently spiraling higher. Bullets rained down upon where Bob's ship lay. Quickly, Junior jerked his ship away from that aerospace, flying a safe enough distance away, out of eyeshot.

Junior swerved through the bullets best he could, but two lodged into the poco below the wing. It threw the ship off balance. How much damage can I take? He wouldn't have time to find out. He had to act quickly. So he rushed in above Bob, flying at high speeds and with acceleration pointing his ship directly down at him, about to pindrop, before releasing more destructors and circling higher. Is that enough? How will his shields hold? How will mine? Will it ever be enough? Will I ever be enough? How would I know? Without having the time to doubt himself, he released an even stronger second wave of destructors. His wing still tipped the ships aim.

Bob happily pressed the bang-bang-shoot-shoot button on the ship’s dashboard until a bleeping sound was heard by his ears. An alarm. Scud. The shields were down. Still, he could survive, maybe. Probably. Maybe a… Bob was no good at math, he didn’t know the chances. To help him survive, he jumped from the seat to under the chair, noting his luck as a bullet went through his malfunctioning shields and hit the chair in a place that would have killed him a few seconds before. There, courageously cowering in fear, he realized that he would need to go back up to the dashboard to shoot at the other ship. Why should he need to go up there and shoot? He perhaps shouldn’t, perhaps violence wasn’t— DO NOT SCUDDING THINK ABOUT IT! Bob reminded himself. He could never think about it, not if he wanted to survive. That much he knew.

Another round of bullets hit the back of Junior's ship, setting off a minimal alarm. He would have to deal with is later. This was the climax of the battle. This was where he had to make decisions. Important decisions. Lifesaving decisions. He couldn't heal the wounded, count the dead. No. Not yet. He couldn't rest. A grin spread across his face, despite the damage on his ship. He circled in tighter, lowering his ship gradually to where Bob's ship lay. He could tell that it had been hit. As long as his own ship wasn't on fire, Junior would survive. His ship was tilting now, and unstable in the air after the damage it had taken, but it could still shoot. So that's what he did. He aimed the target on the radar. He closed his eyes. And he released the next wave of destructors. So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. - William Shakespeare So long. So long. Too long.

Life is far too long. So long. Death came remarkably fast to an outside observer. A bright bullet aimed well enough, larger than Bob himself, killing him upon impact. Yet to Stitch, it took all the time in the world. And as the bullet approached him, Bob did the thing that was forbidden to him, the thing that he had not done for far too long. For as he realized that this was it (Bob believed that there was nothing after death) he finally thought about it. (spoilered for length) Spoiler It all started when Punchy Bob was eleven. He had been the runt of the friend group, younger then all the others and so much smaller too. Almost all of them were humans, it was really just Punchy Bob, Scary Bob, and Gooey Bob that weren’t, which set them apart from the rest of the friend group. Yet despite their visible differences, they were all close with the others. Scary Bob, the Fused, had been very close with Smart Bob, the Viewer of Truth, from a very young age. And Gooey Bob, the kandra, preferred to keep to himself. And Punchy Bob had made good friends with Dumb Bob. Who really wasn’t that dumb. But when Punchy Bob was eleven, he had the Reaping to attend. He wad quite nervous, as there were so many of the Bobs that it was near impossible for none of them to get chosen. They had been lucky the past few years, their numbers had not been depleted. But everyone had a bad feeling about this one, including Oracle Bob, who could guess the future with pretty good accuracy. And indeed, Metal Bob had been chosen. Of all the Bobs that it could have been, Metal Bob wasn’t a bad one, for Punchy Bob at least. Of course, he would rather it be nobody in his friend group, nobody among the Bobs. But Punchy Bob had barely known Metal Bob, and so it hurt less than it could have when he died. It was a similar story with Smart Bob. But it really hurt last year, when Dumb Bob was chosen. After that, Punchy Bob became less and less present among his friends. He faded to the background of conversations, and for the first month he didn’t speak at all, instead choosing to be alone in his grief. It wasn’t enough, though. Punchy Bob had come very close to committing suicide during that time. After Smart Bob had done it, it seemed les…taboo. And the sadness, the grief…it never left him. It was always there, ever-present, and it made life not worth living, in his mind. But after about a month, Punchy Bob discovered something. he had been reading a book for school (he hated it, reading was one of his least favorite things to do) and he had noticed something about one of the characters. She had started, after a very similar situation to Punchy Bob’s, to selectively forget painful memories to keep her mind off of her sadness. So Punchy Bob had decided to do the same thing. He trained himself to lock away all thoughts of Dumb Bob to the back of his head. To distract himself, he began to learn how to fly spaceships. One of the first things that he had been taught after he began to forget, by a teacher of his, was “Assume everybody is trying to hurt you, take life from you. And always do the same to them.” Punchy Bob had taken this advice to heart. He thought that this was where Dumb Bob had gone wrong. He had assumed that the Shades wouldn’t hurt him, and then… And then… So Punchy Bob made it his personal duty to hurt everybody else, to take everything from them like everything had been taken from him when Dumb Bob had died. For it was everybody for themselves, and if one person felt this way, then it was their duty to make everybody else feel that way. Of course, Punchy Bob had made it so that he wouldn’t remember his line of reasoning for feeling this way. So it wasn’t until now that he realized how messed up it was. And then the bullet hit him. And then his heart stopped, his life ended. These words were the last thing that he thought, coming through his mind: THE END. 1
