Malfunction AU?

Zach Varmitech tampers with Aviva’s Creature Power Disks and Creature Power Suits, resulting in an unthinkable tragedy.

So this is a new fic idea I’ve been working on. It’s an angst driven Ziolet fic, no surprise, right? But in this Au/fic, Zach’s life is ripped apart after he tampers with Aviva’s technology, severing his connection with Violet and their daughters Varina and Vera. See the snippet below! Please note mentions of harm, depression, angst, and scarring.

I hope you all enjoy, feel free to let me know what you think and/or ask questions about the Au!

“Vari!” My little sister Vera yelled, running to me with a small box in her hand, her small mouth was still covered in the green icing from the Tortuga shaped birthday cake Jimmy Z made for me, “you forgot one present!”

I smiled at her, taking it out of her hand, guessing it was one she’d made for me, maybe it was another friendship bracelet. Aviva, Koki, and her made them together all the time.

She eagerly bounced beside me, her green eyes shining and her dark brown curls bobbing with each little leap, “go on and open it!”

“Why are you so excited for me to open it, what did you make me?” I asked pulling off the red ribbon and ripping the black paper to find a simple blue jewelry box.

“I didn’t make it, daddy sent it…” Vera explained, smiling, and all at once everyone went quiet.

“Daddy sent me a gift?” I asked looking at the Wild Kratts, Amy, Paige, Nathaniel, and Todd for support.

“The wrapping paper has Zach’s colors…” Martin noted, coming to stand beside me and putting his hand on my shoulder, “why don’t you see what’s inside Vari?”

“But daddy’s bad right, what if it’s something bad?” I whispered, I felt like crying, I loved my dad, but ever since IT happened…ever since dad had his break down and couldn’t take care of us…ever since mom had…well, ever since IT had happened I was scared of him.

Aviva came to my other side and looked at Martin and the rest of the team before she wrapped her arm around me, “Varina, your daddy wouldn’t ever hurt you or Vera.”

I started crying, “But…but he hurt mommy!”

“He didn’t mean to hurt her!” Vera interjected, crying herself, she didn’t remember much about mom or dad, but she always defended dad.

Aviva agreed with Vera, “Vera’s right, it was a terrible accident, you’re mommy even admitted it before…”

“I don’t wanna think about it,” I sniffed, throwing the box to the ground in anger. The lid popped off to reveal none other than my mother’s butterfly necklace.

“Mommy’s necklace…” Vera and I breathed in unison, locking eyes.

VvvvvvVvvvvvV

I checked the monitors to ensure everything was stable with Violet’s health. For the past three years I’d rarely left my headquarters for longer than a few hours, rarely left this room for longer than it took me to sleep, eat, etc. Most of the time I’d ended up crawling into this bed and falling asleep beside her.

For the past three years I’d hated myself for what I’d done to her and our girls…I’d ruined all of our lives just because I was trying to outdo the Wild Rats.

Today was our Vari’s tenth birthday, but I still couldn’t bring myself to face the girls, I didn’t trust myself around them after what had happened to Violet. I couldn’t hurt my beautiful daughters like I’d hurt my perfect wife…Instead of going to her birthday party, I’d sent Violet’s necklace to her. After three years, and no signs of improvement, I figured Violet didn’t really need it anymore.

I curled up beside Violet on the bed and wrapped my arm around her, I’d hired nurses to care for her and Zachbots and myself also tended her, so she still looked as healthy, beautiful, and youthful as ever. If I didn’t know she was in a coma I’d have thought she was sleeping.

“Varina’s ten today, Vi…she’s so beautiful, she looks just like you, minus the dark hair and pale skin of course…Vera’s 6 now…she keeps sending me friendship bracelets she makes with the Wild Rats, that kind of reminds me of someone else I know…hehe” I stroked her perfect face as I spoke to her.

“I wish you were here…I gave Vari your necklace because…I don’t know if you’re ever gonna wake up…I hope you’re not mad, I hope she’ll love it…”

I buried my face into the crook of her scarred neck as a wave of sobs overtook me, “I’m so sorry Vi, I’m so sorry for doing this to you, and our girls…”

“Za-zachhh…”
