Why do I dislike Mike as a therapist? Hate is a strong word but I wanted to make it clear in my email to Danielle that I posted below with a whole speel about having a lower quality of care and having to out myself to providers as trans and a voice hearer, making it known to her that I feel unsafe, dehumanized, stigmatized and discriminated against yet I will stay with Mike bc of this bc I don't want to be discriminated against.... anyways I got that all out but it was an important entry.

Why do I dislike Mike?

1) do you really hear a voice or is it a narrative?

- we talked about it and he showed genuine human emotion and cried a little but nonetheless I don't want to see him bc of the question that's why I tried to replace him.

2) would you rather have a mood disorder (bipolar voice hearer/schizoaffective) or a personality disorder(schizotypal)? In relation to saying psychosis is not a stand alone thing.... fact is psychosis can be a stand alone thing 1000%. Look it up. I had to fight him on this with facts.

- we talked about it and said he wasn't trying to diagnosis me, either way it rubbed me the wrong way that I had to fight him about facts, it is factually psychosis can be a standalone thing and go away. It doesn't have to be schizophrenia or depression or something else.

3) he brings up his education at NYU constantly and acts like a big wig. He thinks he is a big wig and he challenges me with questions which I'll list below that blow my mind, and aggravate me constantly.

He actually thinks he is smarter than me. I'd say we are of equal intelligence tbh. He isn't stupid but he isn't emotionally intelligent that's factually and he actually acts like a big wig.

4) just going back to psychosis not being a standalone illness. He doesn't believe psychosis can just be psychosis......

5) he pushed and has continued to push antidepressants..... especially since getting psychosis.... BRO MY NEUROTRANSMITTERS ARE ALREADY ALL SORTS OF MESSED UP. And I'm trying to recover naturally from psychosis....

Why not throw in some random SSRI or whatever and see what it does??? Antidepressants aren't a fucking bandaid and I don't have depression....

I'm sick of this conversation. He keeps saying well ERP in conjunction to an antidepressant is the highest quality of care for someone with OCD. First off we aren't doing ERP right now but secondly even if we were, I don't want to take a fucking antidepressant.

WELL BROTHER I DON'T FUCKING WANT AN ANTIDEPRESSANT. I NEVER DID AND I ESPECIALLY DONT WANT ONE NOW THAT I HAVE PSYCHOSIS.

WE DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW THE BRAIN WORKS AND WE NEVER TRULY WILL SO LETS LEAVE MY BRAIN ALONE IM ALREADY ON BENZODIAZEPINES JUST TO SLEEP AT NIGHT AND ID RATHER NOT BE BUT I CANT SLEEP WITHOUT THEM.

6) when I brought up how my quality of care is lower bc I won't take antipsychotics bc of the side effects, and I'm not being treated the same by medical providers bc I'm labeled as psychotic.

Aka they won't treat me. If they will they won't look at issues as separate. Such as insomnia. And Continuing to be referred out to Behavioral health where I'm going to be forced to take antipsychotics.

Mike actually asked me why wouldn't you just do antipsychotics..... well idiot:

1] Seizures

2] movement disorders

3] negative symptoms- aka all this functionality I currently have can come to a screeching fault

4] the voice doesn't typically go away I've asked and looked at research....

5] it lowers your life expectancy by 30%

6] it lowers dopamine all over your fucking brain rather than the appropriate pathway-talk about antidepressants being a bandaid and the brain not being fully understood, antipsychotics are way worse

7] when you look up can you recover from psychosis in Google searches- you actually see in the commonly asked questions can you recover from antipsychotics!!!!!

8] I brought up my extensive education on the topic as I studied it intensively in grad school

9] they actually lower your IQ

His response was why wouldn't you want a lower IQ?? STUPID PEOPLE ARE HAPPIER..... that may be true... but:

I responded well I mean I went to school for my masters in neuroscience... I have a 160k education I worked very hard on and I may not be using it but I like being intelligent... I like learning new things. I like being inquisitive and educated and may be one day I will beat psychosis and OCD and end up getting my PhD or using my current education and getting into research but either way I like being intelligent.

7) when we were having this conversation i said i wasn't psychotic just bc I have psychosis and he said having Psychosis means you're psychotic... and I was like not when you're in remission, when you are firmly gripped in reality and not delusional, not when you're socially and occupationally functional and the only symptom you have is an auditory hallucination that causes suffering but nonetheless doesn't prevent you from functioning, you're not psychotic.

He made me feel like I was once again defined as fucking psychotic just bc I hallucinate... my grip on reality and functionality and intelligence plays a role in whether I'm, "psychotic."

Gotta love how people label you. Erin doesn't see me as psychotic. She sees me as a functional, intelligent, and firmly gripped in reality person who suffers from broken d2 receptors.

8) I asked him if he could stop cutting me off so I could finish my stories cause I need to vent and everytime he cuts me off I have to answer his annoying question and then I have to backtrack to explain what I was explaining. I explained it nicely but nonetheless now he is "checking out." I can see it in his face.

9) When I reestablished Therapy with him and I lost track of time and missed our 6. He said 630. I showed up and he never did and he pretended he didn't receive my texts.

-This is all I can come up with now minus him always bringing up movies that's gotten a little better but he talked to me about Benadryl and the man in the hat. I didn't know what he was talking about but Benadryl can make you see stuff cause I guess it's a delirium... I mean I never had visual hallucination with psychosis. Other than numbers being a little different (50 followers would switch to 51 back and forth) and i had that one physical hallucination the Rosalyn post i thought Elise posted... but that was actually October 7th before I had psychosis. Nonetheless it scared me that it happened but that's the extent of my visuals. I don't have them anymore.

before psychosis I took benadryl every single night with weed and I slept but bringing up the man in the hat scared me.... like of course I worry that things will worsen despite them getting better.

-he really lacks emotional Intelligence. I don't hate him. I don't like him as a therapist but bc of Danielle I'm stuck with him...

-Do I think he is a bad person?

No. I just don't think he is emotionally intelligent enough to be my therapist. I think generally he is a decent human but not the right fit for me as a therapist. I'd drop him like a hot potato if Danielle would find a therapist who was accepting of trans people and someone who doesn't stigmatize voice hearers.

Meeting small Hawks.

Pairing: Hawks x Reader.

Summary: HCs about what would happen if you're sent in the past (thanks to a villain quirk) with Hawks and meet tiny Hawks.

Notes: Love the "Their kid came from the future because of this quirk thingy and now they meet their daddas" so I thought what would it be if we reversed it. Hope you enjoy! ♥

× you coincidentally ran into each other (which happened often) when you were both patrolling

× he's always so smug and flirty with you but today he was extra about it

× like holy shit this man knows how to compliment but whatever, no big deal

× the thing is you're just at the point where you kinda lowkey are realizing you have feelings for this smug idiot but you're also kinda denying it because Hawks screams trouble, also you don't trust him; does he flirt like this with anyone??? why is he teasing you so much????? he's too hot to be real???????

× he was praising you because you reached Top 20s when someone screamed for help

× a young kid recognized you both and told you that there's a robbery he escaped from, explaining there are some guys at a jewelry store near-by so y'all just rush there

× well you kinda fell behind cuz he's like already in front of the store talking to the masked robbers like they're just chatting about the weather, although he was just negotiating and telling them casually to let the employees and the civilians inside the store out

× so when he sees you tho, he winks at you and in a blink the robbers were on the ground

× so you just alright then fucking show off 😒 because he waited for you to see him be a little shit

× so while everything is settling, you both going inside the store to check on everyone, he twists his head fastly towards you then rushes to your frame, grabbing you while you turn just in time to see another masked robber (seems he was hiding) that was about to touch your shoulder. although Hawks pulled you to him just in time, so he was barely tapped on the cheek instead of you

× and then you see white

× so when you can finally see again around you, a sensation of dizziness running through your body, you notice Hawks hugging you like really, really tight

× also... did the villain teleport you? both of you were in what seemed a random office building or sumthn

× he brushes it off but you can see that he's worried because y'all fucked up man

× he's scolding himself, he should've paid more attention but you were there, existing, so stunning and the way you rolled your eyes at him? gorgeous, like pls do it again he's a simp for u & now he's paying the price for it like boy–

× anywho! he looked around and sent some feathers to just map the place while you were trying to figure out wth was going on

× meanwhile Hawks was just noticing stuff; he knew these halls, he knew that three doors from there, he'd take Hero History class, he knew the floor below them was a training ground, he knew the door just behind them was where he–

× so you were confusion to say at least, looking at the plain white walls, searching for something, anything actually

× doors had signs on them but very vague, like that one door with the letter K on it, the others labeled C1, C2 and C3, everything spotless and dead looking

× "Sorry, dove, hate to interrupt that cute and intense thinking face of yours but we have to bolt" he said, pointing at the cameras

× so y'all just hide, you thinking without purpose but he was actually leading you somewhere, that somewhere being a floor below

× "we've been seen here and we shouldn't be" or more likely this place should have been destroyed years ago he thought but dreaded the thought of the Commission finding another kid like him

× you question where you're going but he just smirks at you

× there's no people anyway but you avoid places where cameras are pointing at so it makes you feel suspish, but you trust #2 Hero's judgment; he was #2 for a reason, right?

× you reach a door with a sign saying Surveillance and you ooooooooh real smooth for a second, big bird brain there

× and he has no difficulty unlocking it with two of his feathers (him winking at you again, show off pt. 2)

× you're basically ordered to look-out mainly cuz he didn't want you to catch a glimpse at the cameras; if the commission was doing this again, it should be Top Secret

× but what he doesn't fucking expect is to see you on the screen, legit full in the middle of the camera view (pls he cries inside why did u guys avoid all the cams–) and a tiny frame approaching you

× mainly same energy as And I OOP– plus moment of realization

× back to you: looking around super-sneaky until you hear a noise and you decide to explore around the corner but when you find nothing you turn around

× "Uhm, who are you?" you hear a tiny voice behind you and you jump in place because holy shit it was so quiet and now someone's there and you almost die of a heart attack

× turning around, ready to fight, you just find a tiny human being

× adorable human being with... weird similar eye-markings like Hawks and tiny, fluffy, adorable red wings

× you die in the spot cuz???????? adorable child cosplaying the guy you like?????????????? wait what? like? uhm bad brain bad

× so you just crouch down to his height and smile at the baby while he looks at you with big confused yellow eyes that are waaaaay too similar to Hawks'; and that freaks you out, did the mf have a love child or something because they're copy-paste

× "Are you my new teacher?" he asked again, small smile on his features and hnnnggg ♥

× but you shake your head, telling him you're just passing by

× he looks a lil disappointed but nods, fidgeting with the Endeavor in his hands, to which you laugh quietly

× "so you're a Hawks fan I see?"

× he blinks at you, golden eyes wide with confusion and he asks "who?" and u OOP–

× the kid knows who Endeavor is or at least has a plushie of him but is cosplaying as Hawks and never heard of him like??? unless??????? you calm yourself and chill because maybe he didn't know who Endeavor is and he thought it was a random toy and the cosplaying you had no actual excuse for but even worse when he just:

× "but I am a big fan of Endeavor, see?" he said, small excitement coming from him, toy still in his hands now raised in front of your vision, smol chubby hands hounding it safely but proudly

× hnnnngggg ♥ ♥

× "what's your name, little angel?" you ask him as you really try to connect the dots here

× "I'm Takami Keigo and I just moved here" he smiled at you so softly "I'm here to become a hero like Endeavor"

× you'd have to search for Hawks now because this was very, very suspicious but for now you just loved the little kid, deciding you wanted one (maybe you should snatch him 👀)

× and talking about your favorite winged hero, he was having a mental breakdown in the Surveillance room, no biggie; he figured it out while looking at the rooms on the screens, specially the training area, and then at his mini-self talking to you

× so he sends some feathers to you to drag you back to him discreetly

× nothing can be discreet with you because as you were telling smol Keigo that he's gonna be the best hero ever and so on, a feather tapped you on the back and you just screech cuz WHO DAT, you turn to see the feather and feel your soul coming back into your body

× but tiny Keigo sees it too and he's thrilled because look look i can do that too! but with smol feathers and your soul just departs from your person yet again

× because that ain't a cosplay

× that is Hawks.

× while you stop functioning as way-too-adorable-baby-Hawks uses his feathers lift the Endeavor toy to your hands, you just take it and stare

× "did you like it?" golden eyes shining proudly at you; hnnnggggg ♥️♥️♥️

× snapping out of it, you compliment him telling him he's the coolest while taking the toy from him and try to catch one of his feathers jokingly, making him do a cute giggle

× and Keigo, this time big boy Keigo is waiting behind the corner because he really doesn't want to be seen by himself? one feather waiting on the key set to delete all video footage, prepared to bolt the shit out of there yet... he was just waiting for something, not even knowing what himself

× yet he knew as you made mini-him (?) (he's still having an existencial crisis) laugh again his heart squeezes, but he doesn't have time to savor it anymore

× "Keigo, where did you go?" a male voice startled the 3 of you and you p a n i c™

× but not as much as big Hawks tho, he sends all his feathers to drag you away instantly

× the last image on smol baby Hawks is him being startled as he tried to reach for you as you were forcefully yanked away, a suited up man appearing, catching a glimpse of you for a second then alarms blowing everywhere

× Hawks had it all planned as he yanked you to his body, rushing towards an opened window, commanding his feather to delete the security footage and going back to him

× and when he jumped, you in his arms, you saw white again

× you both appear in the same location that you vanished from, just in the middle of the jewelry store as cops were walking around, secluding the zone

× Congrats, you gave the cops a frighten; good times 💕

× so you're in his arms (a g a i n but nobody's complaining 👀)

× and he just smiles down at you so tenderly you almost shiver in place, never seeing that face on him before and it makes you feel Things™, he just runs his hand on your shoulder blade as he wraps his wings closer to you two, cops just startled and confused but none of you cared

× you wanted to touch his cheek as you're finally embracing your feelings after what just happened

× you're looking at Takami Keigo

× so you move your hand and something falls out of your embrace, since y'all are high on adrenaline it spooks the f outta both

× looking at your side you see the Endeavor toy, a small, fluffy feather stuck in its small toy belt

× and you panic because yOu basically just fucking stole a toy from a little kid and you're about to tear up and he just looks at you with his brows raised cuz my boy wasn't expecting that

× "Hey, hey, it's okay" he says through a chuckle, stop being so adorable

× but no it's not okay? the smol baby loved Endeavor and you took the toy and you keep calling mini-keigo smol baby and Hawks' heart is playing heavy metal in his chest and he has this goofy stupid adorable smile on his face and

× he leans down to kiss you

× soft, sweet, he breathes you in yet keeps the smile on his lips

× "Mini-me didn't mind, I'm sure" (white lies, white lies)

× but you, all flustered, just panic again because AAAAA and you just give him the toy, telling him you're some years later but it's his to which he sees ✨ ✨ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ✨ ✨ in his mind around you while you ramble and talk and blush and oh god he loves you– wait what.

× "Well, little dove, I think I have some explaining to do" he whispered above your lips, taking in your flushed face (was living for the moment ngl) "How about we talk about it while we grab lunch? Hmm?"

× "I'd like that, Hawks."

× "Oh, when we're alone, you know what to call me." he whispered in your ear then turned to the police officers that just witnessed everything...

× wait, is that a crowd of people outside with their phones out?

× oh fu–

Look at this smol babey! LOOK!

Nobody really knew where the monocubs where hiding throughout the day. Whenever they made themselves seen it was like they appeared out of thin air and after informing the students they would leave using the same method as well.

It was a mystery to korekiyo, who had spent the whole day checking every classroom and every ultimate lab in hopes of finding some sort of secret passage, maybe a monitor different than the others that would let him communicate with them. Korekiyo had already deemed his monopad useless since it didn't have any messaging function and with a sigh he closed his room's door after entering and sat on his bed.

He wasn't stupid like some of the other ultimates and unlike them he knew the signs of pregnancy, from the small mood changes to the increased neediness. He was observant, and his sister could confirm that indeed, the monocubs were all acting very suspiciously. After eyeing them closely every time they would appear, he could confirm that something was up.

Monophanie was a lot more sensitive than usual, trying to avoid gore and blood at all costs, monokid was kinder, quieter towards monodam who also was more talkative. Monosuke seemed snappier than normal and monotaro acted a lot more protectively towards all of them. In general, his sister could confirm him that all the signs were literally under their noses, about their secret relationship and the slight possibility than everyone except monosuke was pregnant.

It wasn't confirmed, after all it was just an idea, but korekiyo knew how to get what he wanted. That's why he was searching for a way to talk to them as soon as possible. It was late now, but he knew that he could probably manage to talk to monotaro in the morning during the podcast. If they could hear them through the speakers the monitors had then he could probably set his plan into motion.

Korekiyo closed his eyes and smiled.

"Soon dear, soon" he whispered to himself and fell into a peaceful slumber.

~~

The next morning, during the podcast he simply uttered "I want to speak to you" while making eye contact with monotaro. The oldest sibling had tried a little too hard to keep his composure while nodding to korekiyo agreeing with what he asked. The rest of the cubs also seemed nervous over this sudden request as well. Monokid almost yelled and ruined their cover but monodam (!) softly nudged him and just before the screen blacked out with the characteristic 'so long bear well' korekiyo could see the green bear hold monokid's hand.

The ultimate anthropologist patiently waited for monotaro to visit him which happened right after he returned in his room from the cafeteria. The oldest cub was standing in the middle of his room acting like usual, a facade that korekiyo could easily see through now that he knew about their secret.

"What do you want? I'll have you know that you must consider yourself lucky that I agreed to privately visit you! This is against the rules"

Korekiyo chuckled and with a swift motion he sat on his bed while crossing his legs. Monotaro could be cute when he tried to seem scary, but no that was monosuke's job.

"I know about what's going on between you and the rest of the cubs" he started getting right to the point and he could see the exact moment that monotaro's soul left his body - if he even had a soul. "And before you try to deny it, don't. I'm not here about this because simply I do not care about your personal life just like you don't care about mine. I have a request to make"

Monotaro was speechless, his masked feelings slowly coming to the surface as he nervously squeezed his cape in his hands. He was trying not to completely lose control and not kill him on the spot despite being against the rules. Nobody was supposed to know, especially not these damn brats.

"And?! Did you call me here to tell me that? Will you use it against me- against us to let y'all leave? Don't bother. It won't work" the cub spat out with a huff and almost turned to leave, but korekiyo was faster and he quickly scrambled to the floor to catch him by his wrist.

"Wh- let me go you brat-" monotaro screeched. Fuck fuck fuck what was he going to do? Without the exisals he was weak, he couldn't die now, he couldn't leave the others waiting for him to come back only to get killed like this. But was korekiyo going to kill him? He couldn't read his facial expression like he did with the others.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to harm you. I need you to do something for me" korekiyo's eyes shined mischievously.

"W-what do you want me to do...?" the bear gulped and looked up to make eye contact with him.

Korekiyo brought down his face mask indicating that his sister's tulpa would be the one speaking right now. Whether or not monotaro knew about this he didn't show it, he just stayed quiet for them to finish talking.

"My request is simple really." her smile was gentle and her eyes begged silently for monotaro to comply. "My brother's body is peculiar as he has both genital organs, an interesex if you'd like to call him. What I've always wanted to have is a family, a child of my own to take care of and raise. You must realise that with us being here in this killing game of yours takes away from me the opportunity to achieve this dream of mine" she paused to look at monosuke, trying to see if he has realised what they're trying to ask him or not.

"You and I aren't so different after all" korekiyo nodded agreeing and monosuke could only furrow his brows to show his confusion.

"Incest dear, you and I aren't that different, after all we both are attracted to our siblings aren't we? But oh, this is exactly why I'm asking you this and not nobody else from the ultimates. Because nobody else would understand my feelings, and because I simply do not want to give this piece of information to them"

Korekiyo brought his mask up and monosuke managed to breathe again. Were they asking him what he thought they did or was this just a fever dream?

"Ah- so you're... You're asking me? To... um" he didn't dare to utter these words and he hated how korekiyo was quick enough to finish the sentence for him.

"Yes. I want you to let me- her, pregnant"

Αχ γιατί είμαι τόσο ταλαντούχα 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩

Ok αλλά;;;;; Μη ειρωνικά με κέρδισες στο soon dear, soon και στο incest dear,,,,, γελαω και ταυτόχρονα το κοιτάω με δέος γιατί λετζιτ είναι κάτι που θα διάβαζα Ι-

Terrible. Absolutely Terrible. How could things Go So Bad?

The Tobot Crew had Awoken To a start. The Princess had Gone Missing! Onyx was the first to realize she was Missing when she didn't come out for breakfast that Morning. At First The Eldest Kept it to himself as he searched around the Junkyard, Hoping he'd Just find her Hiding or sleeping in a Random Place again. Whenever he didn't have to Worry his little Brothers the better. But After a while of Searching he Began to get concerned.. and So Did His siblings.

It was obvious that this was going to be an unavoidable Conversation, So He told Rox and Zephyr the News. Zephyr was the first to Panic.

" WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PRINCESS D: "

Zephyr Exclaimed as he Flared his Arms around in worry. How Could she be Missing?! She was Just here Last Night.. Why would she Leave? Now she's Lost in the city with who knows what lurking around the next Bend.

Rox was also Wildly Concerned for the Princess, But Handled it a bit better for Zephyr's Sake. Though he Put on a Brave Face he couldn't Hide the worry in His Tone as he Looked to Onyx.

" If we Hurry, we Might be able to find her- Right? I'll Do a Sweep of the entire City If I Have too.. W.. We'll definitely Find her.. No Matter what.. Right..?"

Onyx Looked to Rox and Zephyr and saw the complete Desperation in their Optics.. Glinting threw their Masks and Visors. He didn't Know where The princess could be or What has become of her.. But he Isn't going to Let Those negative Thoughts get to him. He has to be Strong.. for the Princess- And For his Brothers. He Gave a Swift Nod to Rox and Zephyr before responding and taking Charge of the Matter.~

" We Are going to find her, But we'll Need to broaden our Search by splitting up. Rox, You Go North towards the City Shops And Keep an eye in the sky. Remember, She likes to Avoid Contact with others so keep close attention on the Side-streets. Zephyr, You Head South towards The Villages and see if she's at any of her usual Alone-time Spots. I'll Head towards the Woodland Area where she Goes to find lost things. And keep Your Comm units up."

The Two Smaller Bots Nodded before Transforming into their Alts and Zooming off to Go Look for the Princess. Before he Left he Glanced Around the Junkyard.. Something Was giving him a Bad Vibe that something was going to happen As soon as he Left this place.. He wasn't sure about why he was feeling this way, But He wasn't going to take it lightly.

/// *I'll Just Have to Keep my Guard Up..*\\\

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It Had Been Over 2 Hours since the Squad had been Searching For Their Little Lost Princess.. And there was No Luck Or Clue to her whereabouts At All. Rox had Circled the City Twice Now .. He Hated to Admit it, But He was starting to Get as Worried as Zephyr was about Their Pilot. What Kind of Hero Could he be if he can't even protect the ones he Loves?

He was about to Double-back Once More when Something Caught the Edge Of His Optic. He Transformed Midair and Zoomed down to A Nearby Rooftop to get a Better Look at What he Saw. As he Peaked over the edge of The building, The Thing he saw was unmistakable.. He was going to need Backup. He Shakily Reached for His Comm Unit before speaking In A broken Tone.

[* I.. Found Her.. *]

[* What? Where!?* ]

[* Roxas Where's the Princess?*]

[*- Is Struggling to Answer-*]

[* ROXAS!*]

[* It's Tobais.. He's.. He's Got Her..*]

Onyx Felt as If an Arrow Pierced threw His Armor and into his Core as He Heard the Name That They All Dreaded come out of Rox's trembling Voice. No.. NO- Not Him.. Anyone But Him-! This has turned into the absolute Worse case Scenario. Whatever that Bad Man is planning he Must Be Stopped at Once! Their Princesses Life may depend on them-!

Zephyr Was Shaking too as he heard Tobais Ring out throughout his Mindcore. The Last encounter with Him Lead to The Poisoning Of the Princess.. they were forced to Do Terrible things just to get the Antidote. That man Was a Psychopath- who Knows What He'll Do To Their Princess now that she's in his Clutches. Even though he was scared of Tobais.. He Has To Be Brave! They Have to Save Her!

[* Rox, Where Are You Now? *]

[* I'm Down Norsh Street, Near the New Coin Factory. I Can see Some Of Tobais Badnicks Guarding the Place.. What Do I Do? *]

[* Staying Hidden will be the best move for Now Roxie, We'll come to you. We are Stronger together plus Have each other's backs Incase Tobais Might try to Capture you too. *]

[* Understood, I'll Keep You Posted if anything Happens.*]

Rox Hated All Of this. Tobais Never Fails to Get Under his Metal Plating. Why Must He Have his Wicked Heart Set On Torturing his Family! He's Crushed Rox's Dreams Of Being a Heroes To this City.. He Made them Become Criminals... all At The Princesses Expense. But This is it. He's going to Make Tobais Pay for everything He's Put him and his Family through.. There is No Redemption for this Villan.. He Must Be Vanquished.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It didn't Take Long For the Other two the Show Up and meet Rox on the rooftops. Having Scoping out the Area and Situation, The small Squad of Robots Came Up with a Plan. Now all they had to Do was Take Action. Onyx Glanced to his siblings before Whispering

" You ready to Storm the Villan's Castle?"

" Absolutely."

Zephyr Nodded as he made his Servos into a Fist. There's no way he's getting away with this.

" Then Let's Do This!"

Rox Shouted before Flipping off the Roof. The Mecha Guards Looked Up in surprise as The Orange Mech Came from outta Nowhere and Falcon Punched one of them Into The Factories Walls.

The Other Guards Quickly Armmed themselves with their Pistols and began Firing Blasts at Rox. In an Instance a Blue Energy Shield protected him from Taking any Damage. Behind the Shield stood Little Zephyr in a Protective Manner, Making Sure Rox Was Safe.

" I Am a Knight of Valor and Won't Let you do as you Please!"

Rox Smiled To Zephyr Before reaching for his second set of Wings And Unhitching them from his Back, Revealing that they were actually Duel Blades. He Gave a Swift Leap into the Air and Hovered above The Guard Robots. Placing his Blades together he dragged them against each other as an Electrical Pulse Began to Surge from his Body and into the Blades. With a Glint in his Optics Shinung through his Visor he Let Out his Catchphrase.

" To Save the Innocent From This Evildoer's Clutches, I Am a Hero! "

He Sent A Slash Of electricity Down Upon Most of the Guards, Leaving only a Few left Standing. The Last Of them Who Managed to Miss the Charge Of Rox's Ability Sent Guided Missiles at the Flying Mech, Attempting to Put him Out of they sky For Good.

The Eldest Sibling However wasn't going to let him be taken Down So Easily. With the whirl of his Cape He Skillfully Cloud stepped and Got infront of Rox within a Few movements. Raising his servo he managed to create a Magnetic Field to Divert the Course Of the Missiles and sent them Spiraling Down on his Opponents.

" Your End Is Near- For I Am Their Guardian, So Accept Your Fate."

Zephyr Stood his Ground as the Blasts from the Missiles Blowing Up the Remains of the Guards nearly sent him perpeling backwards. Before the Dust could even Settle The Three Hurried Inside The Factory Opening, Hoping that They could see some sort of Clue to where Tobais was keeping their Princess.

Bad Move.

As Soon as they Entered The Factory Bright Spotlights Blazed in their Optics Causing A Temporary Blindness in their visual Sensors. In an Instance Rox Felt Something Grab Onto his Wrist and Twist it Violently Behind his Back, Causing him To drop his Swords and let Out a Screech in Pain by the sudden forced Movement.

" AAAARRRGGHH!!"

Onyx's Sensors Flicked Slightly as he whipped around Towards the direction of Rox's Screams. He Darted Towards the source while Unsheathing His Arm Blades. He Slashed In the direction Of the last known Sound, Hitting something.. Metallic. He Heard Rox give a Subtle Gasp as he felt the grip of his Attacker leave his Wrists for a Moment. The Purple Mechs Sensors Flicked Once more as he Glanced around Blindly. Suddenly he Felt something Grab his Leg- Slamming him into the ground and then Into Rox in a Brutal Manner.

" ACK- *SLAM* UGH-!"

" UCK-"

" ROXIE! ONYX- WHERE ARE YOU?!"

Zephyr's Headfins Flapped Wildly as Anxiety began to Creep into his Mindcore as he Frantically Tried to Figure out what was happening. And Fact that he couldn't see anything didn't Really help his Demeanor either. All He could Do was the cries of Pain Of his Big Brothers as something was Attacking them.

Then The Sound of Metal crashing to the ground stopped abruptly- Causing him to Literally freeze in Panic. He Felt a cold Shivver Creep up his Spine as Something loomed Over him. At that very Moment His Optical Functioning restarted... But it was too Late. A Metal Hand Slammed It's fist ontop the Little Bot, Knocking him Out Cold.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a Few Moments The Squad Came too, And Found themselves in a Very dreadful Situation. They were Hanging from The Ceiling in a Steel-Inforced Net, All Of their Weapons and Gear was confiscated, And Worst of All- There Stood Ontop a Mighty Mech was Tobais, Wearing a Wicked Smirk as he Held Held up Their Beloved Princess.. With a Look of True Terror in Her Tear filled Eyes.

" YOU COWARD! USING YOUR UNDERHANDED TRICKS TO CAPTURE US! IF YOU DON'T LET GO OF THE PRINCESS RIGHT NOW SO HELP ME-"

Rox Snarled as he Grabbed onto the Metal Netting, Attempting to Break Threw It. HOW DARE HE TREAT THE PRINCESS THAT WAY!! Showing her off Like Some Trophy he'd won. If he has hurt her in anyway he was going to Cause some Serious Damage to this Dude.

" wHy Are You Doing this To Us-! Release the Princess!.. Please..She's Done Nothing To You- "

Zephyr Was Trembling as he Spoke. The Sight Of His Princess So Afraid Made him Scared aswell.. He knows What this Man was capable Of.. And the Fact that He Not Only has Her.. But he Single Handedly managed to Capture All three of them aswell Made him Even More Afraid. The edges of His Optics Began to Spike to mimic that Of Crying.. He wished he could Just wake up from this Nightmare.

" What Do You Want Tobais! We'll Do whatever You Say, You have Us! Just Don't Hurt Her! She's Just a Child! She doesn't have a use for Your Plans!"

Onyx Called Out in hopes Of Negotiating with Him. He would give himself Up If it meant protecting Her.. They Owe her their Lives, He can't just let her Loose hers.

But Tobais, on the other hand, Could Honestly Care Less. He Only Laughed at their pleas Before Throwing their Princess Off the Mech and watched as she crashed to the ground. She groaned in pain As she weakly looked up to her Protectors Dangling helplessly in the air calling out to her.

" PRINCESS!!"

The Prof. gave a Small Humm as he Turned his Attention to the Trio Aggressively trying to Get To their Pilot, Only to Continuously Fail. It was Quite Amusing To say the least.

" Your Right You Know.. I Don't need Her.. But I Don't need You anymore either. I have Proven that A Human Mind and Intellect Is Stronger than your Dumb Little Mindcores with this Mech."

~ He Smiled as He Slid into the Cockpit of the Mecha And Stood Proudly Behind their Fallen Pilot. ~

" Now I'll Be Able to Achieve my Greatest Ambitions with This Mech suit. Best Of all I won't have to Worry about you Ruining my Schemes. I'm Sure You're gonna make Great Spare Parts once I Dismantle you. I'm sorry To Say but.. You've Outlived Your Usefulness.. Just Like this Child."

~ He Moved The Large Mech Towards the Girl, It's Large Metal Feet shaking the factory with each Step.. She Couldn't get away.. she couldn't even see it coming.. Her Fate was set as the Giant Mech Lifted it's Pede Above their Pilot.~

" So Long little Princess."

"No..-"

" NO..-!"

" NOOO!"

She Saw the Metal Foot Coming Down Upon Her.. She Heard the Horror striken Cries of her Tobots.. she couldn't see a way Out.. She Closed her eyes and Let out One Last Shriek as the tears began to Flow down her Face..

" AAAAAAAAA-"

...

...

...

...

*Woosh!*

In that Instance, A Few Moments before disaster Something happened. Tobais Felt The Mech be sent Backwards as Something with Great force Rammed into it. When he went to See what the heck Just Hit him, He Couldn't believe his eyes. There, Towering Over the Small Child he was Going to crush... Was a Panther Of some sort.. No.. It wasn't a Panther.. It was a Tobot! But that can't be possible.. He'd never seen any Tobot that looked like him before- Where'd she get ANOTHER ONE-!?

" WHO ARE YOU!?"

" I Am Bass, Her Solider Of Destruction. All who Dare Hurt her Shall Succumb To My Claws..

So. Stay. away. From. My. MASTER."

Bass Snarled As the edges Of His Servos Dug into the Ground. He Didn't know who this was, Or How he even Managed to Capture her Guards and get his Grubby Little Hands on his Master.. But he's Going to make him Regret the day he even Laid eyes on Her. Bass hated to Admit it, But He's Grown rather Found Of his Master.

Ever Since she Helped Him Escape From his Creators.. From his predetermined Fate.. He Decided that Rosie and Rosie Alone Shall be His Master. But the time has come for Him To Step Up and Make it Known That She is His.

Tobias Was Appalled to be threatened by a Raggedy Looking Robot! Doesn't he Know who he Is! He'll teach this Dumb Cat Some Manners!

The Mech Regained itself before Sending a servo Towards the two, Aggressively Grabbing at them. In an Instant Bass Grabbed onto The scruff Of Rosie's Hoodie and Leapt Backwards, Avoiding being Caught By Tobais's Grasp. As The Mecha Grabbed and Swung at Them, The Feline-Estique Tobot Manged to Dodge every Swing Skillfully- Jumping into the Air with each Swing. As He was In Midair The Mech's Other Servo Grabbed his Leg and threw him into the ground with a Forceful *CRASH!*

Bass uses his Body to Sheild Rosie From Receiving any Damage from the Collision with the Floor. He Let Out a Hiss Of Pain as he Landed infront the Trapped Trio Struggling to get free. He Glanced at Them and then to Tobias Closing in on them. He Got to his Pedes and Set The Child Down Before Stepping ahead of her to Face the Man in the Mech.

"This Ends Now. "

He Let out a Thunderous Roar Before Slamming his Servos onto the Floor- Letting his Claws Dig deep to give himself Stability for The Stunt he was About to Pull. His Back Arched and Snarled. His Tail Began To Sperate into Sections as a Dark Purple Substance Swirled Out of It..

Tobais Couldn't believe what he saw! This Tobot.. Had Created A VORTEX!? How Could Something Like this even be possible!? He didn't Have time To Process what Was Happening as a Bright Purple Glow Engulfed the Room..

"ARRRGGGGGHH!!!!"

.....

~Elsewhere~

...

...

A Large Purple Vortex Opened In the middle Of a Clearing beside a Lake- Throwing Bass, The Trio, And The Princess Safely- But roughly- Onto the Grass. The group Gave a Slight Groan as they Slowly Regained themselves. Bass Looked Over Rosie to Make sure she didn't hurt herself from the fall. Rox was the first Person to break The Silence

" I'm Sorry But What The Heck Just Happened-?!"

"..I.. I'm Unsure.."

Onyx Rubbed the Side Of his helm as he Glanced around the Area.. He didn't recognize this place at all.. Were they even still in the city? His attention shifted to the Mech Checking over their Princess.. He remember he had Appeared Suddenly and Saved her.. But just Who was he exactly..? He Flinched Slightly as the other looked back to him.

" I Created a Vortex To send us somewhere Safe."

Bass Spoke Up as he Finished Looking over His Master. She Only seemed to Have Sprained her wrist, Other than that She was just a little shaken up. That was a Relief. He Gave the Girl Her Glasses and Stood Upwards while Brushing himself off.

" Ah, Yes..Who the Heck are You! "

Rox Pointed his Digit At Bass As The Mech Stood Up. It's not that he isn't grateful or anything on how he kept the Princess Safe.. But How does a Random Guy Come outta Nowhere, Just Totally CLAIM the Princess, Face-off with Tobias, and Then Just Poof! Sent them to who knows where just like that!?

" I literally Just Declared my Name Five minutes Ago. But I suppose you couldn't hear me over your Failure to Protect The Kid."

Bass responded Coldly as his Tail Lashed From side to Side. He definitely wasn't impressed with His masters So Called 'Guardians.'

" WHAT!!"

Rox's Wings Flapped as He let out a Low Churr in irritation. Just Who does this Guy Think He Is!

" You Heard me. I'm surprised she's managed to survive this long Under Your Care."

The Mech Scoffed.

" Why You-"

He Growled as He Went to Punch The Smug Cat

" Roxie.."

Zephyr Placed his Servo on Rox's Shoulder and Looked at him with One of those Looks. Just Let it Go.. He Helped the Princess and That's all that matters.

" HMMPH!"

The Orange Mech looked to Zephyr and then to Bass and Huffed. Fine! Whatever! Let the jerk be a Jerk. At least he seems like the Loner type to Ridicule You Before Leaving in a Pretty Stupidly awesome Manner.

" Thank You For Your Assistance.. We Owe You Our Lives. "

Onyx Smiled Warmly to the other and offered his Servo to him. But that Motion didn't seem to fair well with the feline as he Avoided it like the plague. Onyx Lowered His Servo and Frowned Slightly.. Did he just Offend Him..? He Glanced to Zephyr and Just Shrugged.

" Let's Start Over.. I'm Zephyr! And these are My Older Brothers Rox and Onyx.. And You Are..?"

Zephyr Caught Onto Onyx's Motion and Quickly tried to Apologise while Also get on his good Side. He must Obviously be a Good Person To Come and Help them in A Time of Need, Right?

" *Tch* My Name is Bass, And from Now On I shall be the True Protector of Your 'Princess'. "

He Stated as he wrapped his Long Tail Around Rosie in an Defensive Manner while Glaring at the Trio. There was No Way he was Just going to let them Be her Caretakers. From Now On He's Going to Be Her Protector.. and there's Nothing they can Do About it.

" W H A T - "

All three Siblings Gasped in Unison-

Well that Was Unexpected. Looks like their Lives are About to get A Bit More Interesting~

~ End..? ~

[javelon]

Enemy Unknown

You sighed, eyes traveling over the items you were using for your tracking spell. It looked like everything was there that the spell required. Then why..?

"You need a break, meine Liebe. "

The sudden voice caused you to jump before turning away from your desk to your door and to the concerned doctor standing there.

"What am I doing wrong, Hen? Why isn't this spell working? It's always worked before."

Henrik frowned and looked over at your desk.

"I'm afraid I know nothing about magic. There is little I could do to assist you here." He walked over to you, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder, "I do know about keeping a body healthy. And right now you are not doing vhat's necessary to keep your body functioning vell. You vill not being doing Chase any good if you vork yourself to zhe point you pass out. Anti and Jackie are out looking for him too. It's not like we're abandoning zhe search."

You balked at Henrik's suggestion, "I can't, Henrik. Not while Chase is still missing. It's been days! He's probably hurt or, or lost, or...." You trailed off, not wanting to continue. Henrik knew what was left unsaid. It was a fear they all had but no one wished to say outloud. To say it would make it more real, more possible that Chase.... "What point is there in having magic if I can't use it to find a missing family member?"

Henrik's thumb rubbing against your cheek brought your attention to the tears making their way down your face. You looked up at his face, taking in the sight of the liquid pooling in his own eyes, "Oh Y/N..." He pulled you into a tight hug, one that you gratefully accepted, holding onto the doctor like he was your port in this storm. Judging from how he clung to you, he seemed to need that hug just as much as you did. Emotions had been running high in the house since Chase hadn't come home from his shopping trip almost two weeks ago. And those emotions came crashing down on you both now as you wept in each others arms.

Later after you both had calmed down, Henrik managed to coax you to at least come get some food. It was while you were eating the sandwich he made for you that Marvin abruptly popped in front of you two.

"Jackie needs help!" He gasped out, holding up his hand to show you guys the glowing amulet. He had made an identical one for Jackie to use when he was in trouble, both amulets lighting up when he grabs it. You and Henrik shot to your feet, the doctor grabbing your arm while you grabbed Marvin's hand. Soon as Marvin saw you were both holding on you felt the familiar warm tug of teleportation magic focus through the amulet, following the connection to its twin.

When your senses cleared from popping into existence at the new location, your brain couldn't make sense of the scene before you. Jackie was currently on his back barely holding off someone in a hoodie who was hell bent on stabbing him with an odd looking dagger. 

"Jackie!" You cried, using your magic to fling the stranger away a few feet.

Marvin and Henrik scrambled to Jackie's side to check on the hero as you stood with your magic at the ready should the stranger charge at you guys. Jackie was a superhero and he had the speed and strength to prove it. That this stranger was able to pin Jackie down was nothing short of terrifying, especially when you had no idea what else this person was capable of.

"Jackie, are you alright??" Henrik asked, hands fluttering over Jackie in search of wounds. 

Jackie shook his head frantically, scooting back away from the stranger. "I...I can't. I can't fight him! I can't hurt him!" The hero's anguished cries confused you.

Then the stranger stood up from where you had flung him away, his hood slipping off to reveal his face. Your jaw dropped and you felt your magic sputter away due to your shock, "Chase?!" 

"What??" Marvin's and Henrik's heads shot up, their mouths falling open when they saw him.

All this time you all had been searching high and low for Chase only for him to come to you. But something was horribly wrong. Other than trying to stab Jackie, Chase now had wispy blue glowing eyes and the skin you could see was unnaturally white. In his hand he grasped a dagger made of some dark metal, with a skull on the hilt that had glowing blue eyes just like Chase's.

"Move mage. You are not the one my master wanted dead."

From behind you someone gasped as your own eyes bulged in shock, chills running down your spine. His voice...Chase's voice was all wrong. It echoed as if he was speaking from far away through a tunnel instead of just a few feet away out in the open. In all your years you had never come across anyone that sounded like that. Not even the supernatural creatures you and Marvin interacted with often. A soul deep fear gripped you, your primitive instincts telling you to run. This creature was dangerous you needed to flee!

Only sheer willpower kept you standing where you were though you could feel small tremors in your hands. "Chase! Oh god what happened to you?!" Marvin came to stand next to you, disbelief in his eyes and voice.

Chase's cold glowing eyes narrowed, "I am not this Chase you all keep insisting I am. And I do not have time for trivial questions. Step aside before I am forced to make you."

Marvin shuddered beside you, making you wonder if he felt the instinct to flee too. Your eyes went to the dagger in Chase's hand again. Maybe that was the source of this? Faint yet very dark magic emanated from it. Cursed no doubt. You had to get it away from him. You took a step forward, forcing yourself to stay when those eyes immediately flicked to you. "Chase please! We know it's you! We would know you anywhere!" You pleaded with him.

Those horrible eyes remained cold and unfamiliar, not even a hint of recognition in them, "I warned you."

Before you had a chance to react, Chase lifted his arm up, tendrils of shadowy magic arching from his hand and wrapping around your neck. A screech of pain tore from your lips, the tendrils burning into your skin. You felt the tendrils jerk back, your body flying through the air to land with a thud in front of Chase. Cries of "Y/N!" vaguely drifted to your ears as you scrambled to right yourself. You couldn't hold back your own cry of fear when you looked up and saw Chase's impassive gaze staring down at you, dagger glinting in the light as it swung towards you. Rapidly pulling on your magic to protect yourself you threw up yours arms just as you heard and felt a burst of static. You looked up just in time to see a blur tackle Chase from the side.

"̡Wh͠a̛t t͞he͢ ́f́u͡ck̶ ąr҉e͟ y̸ou d͢oi͜n̨g͜,͘ ̛Ch͝ase̷?!́" Anti's voice shrieked.

Scrabbling to your feet, you watched Anti wrestle Chase to the ground. Anti had the element of surprise on his side but as you watched you could see how the glitch was struggling to grapple Chase. Not even Anti was strong enough to hold down Chase?! Even worse you could see the dagger now laying in the grass next to you and yet Chase remained unchanged. Marvin must have had the same idea though as you saw him rapidly pick it up when he, Henrik, and Jackie ran to your side, banishing the dagger away only to look dismayed as he watched Chase and Anti still trying to grapple each other.

"́Ẃha͜t̕ th͜e ̶he͝ll is ̶w͡ro͠ng̀ ͠w͝i͠th you?!͢ We'͡r͠e͡ ͝your ̷family, ̨C̕h̡as̀e!̵ ͡A̢r҉e͏ ͝yo̡u se̛ŕi̸o͡usly go͞ing ҉ţo͟ ̧f͏u̡cki̡ng͏ k̛ill͠ ͟us̶?!" Anti snarled though you could hear the fear under his anger.

For the first time, Chase seemed to falter momentarily before he was growling right back at Anti. Marvin gasped beside you and stepped forward, "What about your kids Chase?? Little Sammy and Gray! What would they say?" 

Again Chase froze, this time blinking then clutching at his head, "No...master said..."

Anti was thrown off when Chase snarled and a mini blast of dark magic erupted from him. "You cannot distract me from my master's mission!" Chase growled as he faced you all.

Marvin turned his head to you and Jackie, "Help Anti hold Chase down. I have an idea!"

You both nodded and Jackie leapt forward to Anti's side. The two of them tackled the younger ego to the ground. You pulled your magic forth, focusing on using it to weigh Chase's limbs down. Several long minutes passed as you three struggled to hold Chase still while not hurting him. Tears blurred your sight despite how you desperately tried to blink them away. You couldn't afford to cry now. You had to stay focused or else you would lose the tight grip on your magic that you needed to help the others. Taking a deep shuddering breath you bit your lip as you concentrated on strengthening your magic's hold on the snarling, raging creature that Chase had become. 

Marvin had been working on his own spell and when Chase was finally held relatively still he stepped in front of Chase. "You have to remember us, Chase! Please!" Marvin placed his glowing hands on Chase's temples, his eyes glowing with the same magic. The second Chase and Marvin locked eyes they froze in place. It was disconcerting to see the two become still as statues, only their hands twitched occasionally. Anti and Jackie looked quickly back and forth between their two brothers, obviously very worried. Out of the corner of your eye you could see Henrik stepping forward, "Is...is zhat supposed to happen?"

You chewed on your lip, "I-I don't know. I don't know what spell he used."

Suddenly Marvin let out a blood curling scream, startling everyone but Chase. His hands had tightened to fists but they remained on Chase's head, his glowing eyes still locked on his brother's. You could see blood start to trickle down Marvin's wrists. Henrik jumped forward, "Marvin?! Stop Marvin! Let go!" The doctor tried to pull Marvin's hands away but it was like they were permanently stuck. Marvin's screams of anguish continued, making you want to cover your ears, your heart echoing Marvin's screams. What was happening?! 

Abruptly Chase fell like a puppet that had his strings cut, only Anti and Jackie keeping him from hitting the ground. Marvin jerked away and fell to his knees, scrambling blindly before vomiting, shoulders heaving with violent sobs. You immediately released your magic and ran to Marvin's side, kneeling next to Henrik who was rubbing circles on Marvin's back.

"Marvin! Are you alright?!" 

Marvin shook his head rapidly, pausing in his sobs to vomit up more. His arms trembled and finally gave out. Henrik was quick to grab him and hold him upright.

"Ma..Marv?" 

Marvin froze. You looked over at Anti and Jackie and saw them holding a trembling Chase. His glowing eyes were still there but now they were filled with a sorrow and agony that chilled you. For a moment Marvin and Chase just looked at each other but when Chase reached a shaking hand outwards, Marvin threw himself at Chase, wrapping his arms tightly around Chase as he started sobbing again, repeatedly whispering "I'm sorry!" inbetween sobs. Chase shook in the magician's hold, echoy sobs coming from him. You looked up at the others hoping for some sort of clue what was going on but they looked just as lost as you were.

It took a long time for Marvin and Chase to pull away from each other. Chase kept his head firmly down, refusing to do more than glance up for a moment but you could hear him sniff occasionally. Marvin kept his own head down when he was asked what happened with the spell.

He glanced at Chase then down at his fists, "I...I saw..." Marvin shuddered, "I showed Chase memories of us. Of his kids. And that spell unlocked the memories buried in him since..." He took a deep breath, "Since Chase...disappeared. And I saw..." Here Marvin starred crying again. Chase shrinked into himself as best he could and Anti wrapped an arm around him. You and Henrik each grabbed one of Marvin's hands when you saw blood well up under his finger nails again, rubbing your thumb over the back of his hand as he struggled through his words. You were taken aback when Marvin looked up into your eyes and you saw the grief in his own eyes, "Y/N....Chase...he's been turned into a death knight."

You dropped Marvin's hand in shock and backed away a step. "What??" Your voice cracked. That couldn't be possible! "But...how?"

When Marvin shook his head you cried, "Marvin, how?! Who is even strong enough..??"

You were vaguely aware of Chase burying himself further against Anti, the glitch running his hand up and down Chase's arm, whispering concerns over how cold Chase was. You tried to get a grip on your emotions, you didn't want to scare Chase away now that you guys finally had him back. But if what Marvin said was true...

"I didn't see who turned him. Only heard their voice." Marvin whispered.

"Wait you saw him get turned?" Your heart shattered when Marvin nodded. Now you understood why Marvin had reacted so poorly after breaking away from the spell.

"Turned? Marvin what are you talking about?" Jackie shifted from foot to foot, looking from Chase to Marvin and back. 

"I...I've only...read about death knights....they're..." You trailed off as the horror of what Marvin said truly hit you.

"They're undead soldiers of necromancers. Usually commanders as their....violent deaths make them stronger than the average undead. The...more violent the death...the stronger the death knight." Chase spoke up softly.

Grief and horror warred on the others' faces when they realized what Chase was saying. "How...strong are you, Chase?" Jackie whispered. 

Chase and Marvin both flinched, "I-I was told I'm 2nd strongest death knight the necromancer created."

Silence descended on the group before Anti let out an enraged scream and glitched out of sight.

"Anti!" You called after him despite knowing he was gone.

"I'll go after him. You guys take care of Chase." Jackie said before taking to the air. But not before you saw the tears creating rivers down his face.

"I'm sorry." Chase rasped out, curling in on himself.

You, Marvin, and Henrik were immediately at his side, wrapping him up in a group hug.

"No no don't apologize, Chase! Zhis isn't your fault! It's going to be ok. We're here. It's ok." 

Chase looked up with the most heartbroken look you'd ever seen, "How is this ok, Hen? I'm a monster."

"You are not a monster! I don't know who did this to you or how but they are the monster not you." Marvin was quick to interject, his voice angry. He tightened his grasp on Chase, "It doesn't matter right now. A problem for another day. C'mon let's get you home where you belong."

Chase nodded and tucked himself into Henrik's side as you and Marvin worked together to create a portal home. On the other side the rest of the family greeted Chase with excitement then grief when they learned what happened to him. But they made sure he still felt loved and accepted. Robbie was even thrilled to have another undead family member. 

Later that night you slipped into Marvin's room and sat next to the weeping magician. He immediately buried his head in your shoulder.

"How could someone do that to him, Y/N?" Marvin rasped out, "He's already been through so much! The way that fucking bastard killed him!!"

You rocked Marvin gently when his sobs renewed, at a loss for words. There were no comforting phrases in any language that would ease Marvin's grief, having witnessed the horrible things done to Chase. 

When he calmed down again his eyes started glowing as he growled, "That necromancer will pay for this. I will find him and make him suffer the way he made Chase suffer!" 

You weren't surprised by the magician's rage as you felt a desire for vengeance as well. But you knew it would do more harm than good if you let that rage blind you. You pulled back to look Marvin in the eye, "Just don't go hunting him down without us. I know when Jackie and Anti get back they'll be itching to find this bastard. And I know I want a piece of him too. But for now we just need to be there for Chase and try to help him adjust. Promise me you won't go alone, Marvin."

Marvin gave you a firm nod, "I promise."

Oof this was a hard one to write. But I told some that I was going to do it so here it is. Also for those who haven't seen a death knight I've added a gif so you can see what Chase's eyes looked like along with a video clip to give you an idea of what death knights sound like. Thank you @clanwarrior-tumbly for helping me figure out the plot!
