Everytime I rewatch s5 void arc vods I feel so sick to my stomach whenever I see Jumper helping the Void Ponies out, laughing with them, doing stuff together with them as if she really was their teammate because why was she, to Zam, the second most reliable person on the Void Ponies? Without her, Zam would be the only one restocking her teammates and grinding for them. She built so much for them, seemed to understand them so well, fit so perfectly together with them. And then the reveal comes to light and she claims she's a hero for doing it but she was there when they drew up their plans, when they changed their motives after witnessing Planets ban, during every death and outnumbered fight, but she abandons them so quickly, doesn't feel anything at all and Pentar leaves with her just as unemotionally, and then Bacon and Pangi barely ever log on, and all Zam and Mapicc have left are each other as always. Without Jumper, Zam probably would have hated the Void Ponies more than she loved them, but jumper balanced them out so perfectly, and to know it was all fake is so sickening. S5 affects me more than S4 because Zams betrayals during s4 weighed so heavily on her and they weren't elaborate schemes, just so much emotion, unlike the betrayals in s5, that were treated so lightly by everyone except Zam and Mapicc and ultimately never grew past the betrayal because nothing Zam or Mapicc did ever worked against her.

when minute and the rest of the foundation call the abyss for a meeting, moments before the machine is set to run for it's final time, zam's mind whirs into action. he's afraid this is a setup, a ploy for the foundation to take the hearts from their chests in a final act of desperation to save spawn and the entirety of lifesteal from its voiding.

he gears, rifling through his shulker boxes in an anxious panic, dread that looms over him as he anticipates his own death. it'd be unfortunate, of course, that minute and the others would resort to this when they'd worked so dilligently at solving their clues, but it isn't unexpected. the one thing he doesn't expect, however, is for the foundation to already be finished. he doesn't expect them to be handing them a task this time, and when he realizes that the abyss will die, but because they've actually lost, he feels his heart sink into his stomach. because of course, minute directs them to jump into the void they've worked tireless to uncover.

but this is what they wanted right? they'd been expecting this - a defeat. he's known it was coming since the day they compromised on a deadline. hell, he had always maintained the fact that he wanted the foundation to win, despite his efforts in breaking the layers of the earth's heart wide open.

after all, zam wasn't a bad guy. he had a goal and he'd do whatever it took to get it, even if it meant looking like a villain. minute had taken his dutiful role as the hero, rallying not just the PMC, but everyone possible to destroy the abyss' collective efforts. it was just as he'd hoped - expected - so when minute provides the final symbol, the declaration that now he's in control, zam ignores the dejection in his chest at the loss, and accepts the defeat with grace.

zam takes his place at the edge of the void hole. standing in front of it now, it feels like it's already begun to swallow him whole. the void has been more than just an ally these days, and he finds that even as he faces his own mortality's end, there's only a comfort in the stagnant air of the void. it begins filling the cavern in an eery darkness. zam watches as mapicc stares into the abyss, jaw set in anger and a temptation to flee, but when they meet eyes, he deflates. zam knows that no matter what, they have to abide by their word.

the void hole feels bleak now that no mobs spawn in spite of the complete darkness, likely thanks to wemmbu's interference, but the presence of the foundation on the other side of the vast expanse is enough to raise the hairs on his neck.

minute provides a rallying speech that zam tries not to tune out of and when the moment comes, zam is the first to fall. he doesn't hesitate, though maybe he should, but it just feels right to sacrifice himself for the good of the others. it's what comes natural to him, and for once he's grateful to die a painful death.

he sees it so quickly he thinks his mind is tricking him at the last chance it can - jumper standing at the edge of the void, locking eyes with zam as she watches him fall.

"i'm sorry, zam," she says, "but the server needed a hero."

and it clicks. two months of work. two months of friendship and loyalty, less than the nothingness alongside him.

zam can't bring himself to look away, even as he continues to hurtle towards nothing and jumper's face becomes harder and harder to make out through the distance. he feels his vision slipping, his breathing grow labored, but he fights it. he's always considered himself lucky to have called jumper his ally over these past months, working towards what he thought was their common goal, but now he can see the look on her face. there's not a hint of remorse, no signs of sympathy for what she's done to him.

a hero? is that what she thought she was? she wasn't a hero for this. she never would be. stopping the abyss as a double agent wasn't heroic when all that she'd gained from it was the thrill of a betrayal.

his mind races, and he feels the familiar burning pain that comes with each of his atoms being torn from his body. he can barely see a heart being torn from his chest, shimmering bright against the darkness that starts to drown his every sensation. its with the final firing of synapses that he makes a promise to himself - in the next life, he's going to stop at nothing to make jumper's life a living hell.

QUICK TEXT THING

So you know the void ponies? Their official thing is now.... Unicorns have bumpy horns. Pegasi have four wings. Earth ponies honestly don't have anything special. All of them have a long snake tail with a big fork. Basically, a single tail that splits off into two. The tail hair is at the end of both ends. They all have odd markings, usually around the left eye. Alicorns have multiple traits. Some may be added as mod gets more inspiration in odd places. TAG FOR VOID PONIES THINGS HAS BEEN MADE :D
