Zara’s fingers flew across screens and keyboards, working furiously to keep the power down. She brought up file after file, erasing everything she could to keep the whole base distracted and frantic.

Deleting SD-004 control blueprints…

Deleting SE-002 experiment databank…

Deleting Hybrid Information Data….

Zara smiled to herself as she worked, focusing on destroying the files related to the boys. These evil bitches were gonna lose everything.

Jack stared up at his brothers as he tried to form words, “H-how… how did… how are you here? T-the white suits, the lava! A-Anti?!” HIs mind was reeling but his questions were halted by Jamie leaning over and putting a finger to his lip with a shaky smile.

“Deep breaths, Jack,” Schneep encouraged.

“A white suit helped us,” Chase explained. Jack’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.

“A- what? A white suit?!”

Jackie pushed closer to Jack his eyes alight with excitement, “Yeah! She’s really cool actually! She had like this machine that can make things out of nothing! She stored us on her ship and then made a way for us to get to you!”

Jack’s eyes narrowed slightly as he processed this, “Why… why would she do this?”

Chase leaned over and held the still unresponsive Marvin in his arms, “She didn’t want what happened to Marvin to happen to anyone else…” He said quietly, eyes sad.

Jack bit his lip, still skeptical. But, he had something more pressing to deal with.

“Do you know what happened to him?” Jack asked, taking Marvin’s hand and squeezing. Marvin didn’t even blink as the others shake their heads.

“He.. he contacted us through a radio to tell us he got captured. When we got to where they had him, we heard he was… that he was on his way to here. That’s when the white suit decided to help us,” Chase explained as he brushed back Marvin’s hair.

“The mask…” Henrik said as he drew in closer, “It is supposed to have a command chip or something in it. Like what they did to Anti. It must be keeping Marvin in this ‘Warper mode’….”

“Is that why his eyes are pink?” Jack blinked as the others nodded.

“This isn’t the first time he’s been all glow-y, pink and scary,” Jackie muttered, fiddling with the end of his hood, “But when he gets like this...he gets like violent and starts warping everywhere! He’s… he’s never been so still like this…”

Jack stayed quiet for a second before he grabbed Marvin and brought him closer to him. “I’m gonna try something…” He muttered as he drew Marvin’s face closer to his, making their foreheads touch, “Be prepared to catch us if we fall okay?” He doesn’t give his brothers any time to respond before he shuts his eyes and wills himself and Marvin asleep. Slowly, Marvin’s eyes slip shut as Jack feels himself pulled into dark blackness.

When Jack next opens his eyes, he knows he’s in his dreams, the same place he’s met Anti. But, this time it’s Marvin in front of him, floating almost lifelessly with the same pink glowing eyes. Jack gulps as he blinks next to Marvin in a flash of cyan light. He slowly brings up his hand and touches Marvin’s face, “Hey, Marv. Wake up!”

Marvin shakes his head as his eyes fade back to their original blue. He blinks rapidly before he rights himself and stares at Jack, mouth agape.

“J-Jack?!” He whispers breathlessly, yet his voice still echoes throughout the blackness, “What the hell?” He brings up his hands and touches Jack’s face as he blinks back tears, “Are you here? Like… really here?”

Jack gives him a wavering smile, “Yeah buddy, it’s me… What do you remember?”

Marvin looks confused for a second as he tries to think. Then his muscles tense up as his expression changes to fear.

“I-i… i remember panicking.. And hurting and being tired all the t-time. I-i was losing myself. Then.. w-white suits!” Marvin’s breathing begins to pick up as his eyes grew wider, “They found me.. They wanted me to stay a w-warper. To not be me! They they they…” Marvin grips his hands to his chest as he heaves, unable to breathe.

Jack shushes Marvin and cradles him in a hug, “Take a deep breath Marv. It’s gonna be okay… I’m gonna free you.”

The warper merman takes a shaky breath and whispers over Jack’s shoulder, “H-how?”

Jack smiles as he holds Marvin out, holding his shoulders, “I managed to learn a few tricks here.” His face falls to a serious expression as he studies his face. After a few seconds, Jack takes his hands and place them on Marvin’s face. One hand on his temple, where his warper chip is, the other on the side of his face where the mask is currently embedded in his skin. Marvin’s breath hitches as he feels sparks of pain from the points.

Jack takes a shuddering breath, “Marvin..before i do this. I need you to promise me something.” Marvin cocks his head slightly, “Um okay, what is it?”

“When you wake up. The second you see any opening that leads outside, I need you to grab the others and warp out as soon as you get outside this tank,” Jack breathes, looking exhausted yet determined.

Marvin looks confused, “What.. what do you mean? I don’t..”

“You’ll understand in a second. Just trust me okay?”

Marvin slowly nods, “Okay Jack, i promise.”

Jack smiles warmly at Marvin, “Thank you.. Now.” His face falls and he bites his lip, “This… this is gonna hurt…”

Before Marvin has a chance to ask, Jack’s eyes turn cyan and start glowing. Suddenly, Marvin feels a strange pull where Jack has his hands before he feels white hot sparking pain. Marvin feels himself screaming as the entire space turns white.

There’s the sound of loud cracking as Marvin and Jack spring away from each other back in reality. Jack falls backwards, his eyes fading from cyan to normal as they roll up in the back of his head. Jamie manages to catch his head before he hits the ground.

Marvin flies backwards, into the arms of Jackie and Chase. His mask has a long deep crack down the center now and slowly Marvin blinks away the pink light from his eyes. He gazes out at everybody, but it doesn’t look like he’s really seeing anything. It takes a few more seconds for him to come to his senses and he blinks rapidly, eyes darting around to catch sight of his brother’s faces.

Jackie laughs and leans down to hug Marvin in a big tight bear hug, “You’re back!!”

The celebrating is cut short for a second as they all hear Jamie whimper as loud as he can, “Jack…!”

Chase helps lead Marvin over as the others crowd around Jack as he lays in Jamie’s lap. His skin is even paler than before, the dark purple bags under his eyes more pronounced. His breathing is labored and strained, his face twisted in pain. Jamie lightly pats Jack’s face, trying to wake up.

There’s a couple minutes of tense silence as the boys feel their hearts in their throats, watching Jack as he struggles to breathe. But finally, Jack’s eyes flutter open and he takes a second to focus before he breathes, “Did.. did it work?”

The boys all give shaky and nervous laughs. Jackie bites, “Don’t scare us like that man!”

Marvin pushes himself forward and stares at Jack like he’s a ghost. Slowly, he reaches out and touches Jack and bites back a sob as he realizes he’s actually there. Jack smiles weakly as he shakily takes Marvin’s hand, “H-hey Marv…”

Marvin’s eyes fill with tears and he whimpers around the mouthpiece in his mask. Marvin looks like he’s ready to crush jack in a hug, but Jackie stops him.

“Wait, let’s get this fucking thing off you!” He grabs both sides of the mask and tries to pull and Marvin’s eyes shut in pain and he whines through the mask. Schneep panics and pulls Jackie’s hands away, “stop Jackie! I do not think you can just pull it out!”

Marvin holds the sides of his face, feeling around the mask, chest starting to heave. Chase swims over and wraps his arms around his shoulders, trying to calm him down.

“Don’t worry Marv. I’m sure you guys will find a way to remove it outside of here,” Jack pipes up as he pulls himself into a sitting position. The boys all stare at him.

“You.. you make it sound like you’re not coming with us,” Jackie says softly, something akin to mounting horror spreading across his face. Jack hangs his head.

“I… i can’t,” He nearly whispers.

Jackie is suddenly yelling, “What do you mean you can’t?! Don’t you want out of here? Don’t you want to be with us?!”

“Of course i do!” Jack snaps back, then deflates, “But you guys don’t understand… The white suits… they won’t-”

“Fuck the white suits!” Jackie screams, “We’re taking you home!”

“Just shut up for a second!” Jack yells back, and Jackie gapes slightly as he drops down. Jack takes a shaky breath, “You guys have to leave without me. It’s the only way you’ll be safe…If i get out of here, they white suits… they’ll never stop hunting me down…. They’ll… they need me.”

Jackie is bristling with anger, “Did those fucking bastards brainwash you too?!” Chase gasps and hits him in the arm, “Jackie what the hell?”

Jack glares at Jackie, “You’re not hearing me Jackie! You guys are more important to me than anything! But the only way they’ll leave you alone is if i’m here! Or do you want to be killed?! Do you want to have a mask strapped to your face and lose yourself like Marvin almost did?! Do you want to become like Anti?!” Jack’s eyes flash cyan and the water around him stirs angrily as his voice rises. The boys all unconsciously scoot back, eyes wide. Jack’s stance deflates again as his head falls.

“Please…” His voice breaks, “Please just get out of here-”

Suddenly, the lights in the tank wink back to life and cast everything in an eerie green glow. The boys all stare at each other in horror.

“Z-zara!” Jamie whispers.

Jack is floating upwards, “Okay no more fucking around, you guys need to leave now! Get Marvin out of here and get him help!”

“We’re not leaving without you!” Jackie cries. Chase tugs on his hood as if he’s ready to tear them back towards the hatch Zara made for them but he freezes when he looks to the wall to see it had vanished.

“Oh fuck-”

A strange sound fills the area as hatch after hatch appear in the upper levels of the tank. White suits carrying statis guns and blasters filter in and start heading straight for the boys.

“SCATTER!!” Chase screams and the boys all scramble into different directions. Everyone except for Jackie though. He hunches back his shoulders and roars as loud as possible, sending a blast that sends a couple white suits swirling backwards. Chase looks back to see Jackie about to dive after one in blind rage but he doesn't seem to notice as another trains a blaster on him.

Chase screams and rushes to push Jackie out of the way. And he manages to, but not without getting hit himself. The blaster takes a chunk out of Chase’s shoulder and he yells in pain. Jackie cries out and hurries to grab Chase in his arms. Jackie starts to hyperventilate seeing Chase’s blood seep into the water. His eyes start to go black. Schneep tries to scamper over to try to calm Jackie down but he’s quickly grabbed by a white suit and yanked backwards.

Marvin is opening up his hands, trying everything he can to open a warp gate. But nothing works, the water doesn't even swirl. Jamie stays with him and tries to silently encourage him and warily watches above as the white suits close in.

Jack sees Chase get blasted and his body immediately fills with white hot rage. He feels that weird tug in his gut he knows is tied to his powers. He doesn’t fight it and lets the tug pull him under, rage fueling every inch of his body with renewed vigor. His eyes burn cyan and the water twists and turns in crazy currents, sending white suits and merboys alike spiraling. All the other creatures in the tank respond to the call as their eyes turn cyan too. The aggressive ones growl and start to attack the white suits, chomping and smashing anyone in their way. Smaller fish huddle into big groups and dive bomb and try to trap or blind the white suits.

A fellow stalker smashes into the white suits holding Schneep and he scrambles away and makes his way to Chase and Jackie. Chase is trying to hold on, gripping Jackie’s shoulders like its his only lifeline as he tries to whimper for Jackie to calm down. Jackie is trying to buck him off as he roars, eyes locked on white suits that try to draw near.

Bonesharks and Stalkers gather into a huge group, starting to smash the against the walls where it feels the hottest. They bang and bash all their weight against the wall, not caring if they injure themselves in the process. After barely even a minute, they manage to burst their way through, sending boiling hot water into the tank.

As soon as the way is open, Marvin’s head snaps up. He doesn’t know why but he has a voice screaming at him to grab everyone and run. Everyone but Jack. His eyes become rimmed with cyan light. He tries to argue with his head that no, he can’t leave Jack but his body is moving already, grabbing Jamie in his arms and surging forward to grab the others. Marvin can hardly think as the voice in his head screams for them to escape. He grabs Schneep in his other arm and grabs Chase and Jackie in his tails, not caring at Jackie clawing and screeching. Marvin immediately veers towards the hole as he hears the sounds of blasters and statis rifles fire towards them. Hoards of fish move in the way of the blasts that look like they will hit the boys.

Marvin pushes through the hole and into the boiling water and as soon as he touches it he feels the spark of his warp powers return. He concentrates and a shaky unstable warp gate starts to open, way too slow. Marvin hears the sounds of angry roars in the distance and he sees a familiar figure barreling towards them, readying a fireball. Anti! Marvin panics and wills the warp gate to open faster. As soon as he’s sure they can all fit, he surges through, barely dodging a fireball as it explodes where they just were.

The boys are all sent straight into the ground with a loud crash. Marvin shakily sits up and looks back through the gate as it starts to waver and dim.

He sees Jack turn back towards them through the puncture in the base as his eyes dim. He smiles sadly in their direction before he’s overrun and grabbed by white suits. They plunge a needle into his neck and Jack’s eyes roll back and he falls as the warp gate dissolves into foam.

“It’s fascinating isn’t it?” A male voice echoed through the comm on his dive suit, swimming around his prize. A sleeping Marvin, held up in glowing green wires above the floor. The warper merman kept twitching, his eyes opening slightly and glowing pink before he would slowly drift back off.

“Fascinating isn’t quite the word i’m looking for,” said a bored voice from behind. Another white suit was sitting (or at least trying to sit) on an abandoned chair in the completely submerged lab.

The male white suit turned on the other, throwing his hands up in exasperation. “How can you not be interested in this, Zara?!” He exclaimed, pointing to Marvin. “Not only do we get to see the marvel of Altera in these hybrids up close, but…!” He swam around and pointed to the slowly opening second pair of eyes on Marvin’s head. “We also get to see how the joining of mechanical bioengineering exists inside a human body!... well mostly… How is that not the most interesting thing in the world?”

“Cuz some of us aren’t complete nerds,” The white suit named Zara countered, scrolling through her PDA absentmindedly. “I didn’t even want to come down here but, you know Dad…”

The other white suit rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, “We’ve been given a great opportunity to learn here! And you’re wasting it.”

“I didn’t ask to be born on this planet into this research, Zeke….” Zara sighed, giving him a withered glare. Zeke huffed and rolled his eyes again.

“Well whatever. I’m gonna see what we can learn about this guy,” He said peering into Marvin’s second pair of eyes. Suddenly, all four of his eyes opened up and Marvin jolted, growling dangerously and yanking against his restraints. He grew his blue claws and nipped at Zeke, who swam back wide eyed.

“Mm, sounds like he doesn’t like you,” Zara teased over the top of her PDA. Zeke growled and eyed Marvin, puffing out his chest to appear tougher.

“You don’t scare me, WH-005!”

As if in response, Marvin’s eyes dimmed and flickered out like a broken lightbulb and his eyes returned back to their normal blue.

“W-what…?” He whispered, staring terrified at Zeke, who looked back at him equally surprised.

“How did you do that?” Zeke wondered, staring at Marvin’s eyes in fascination. Marvin tried scooting back but he couldn’t move his head. His heart started going a million miles an hour and he couldn’t breathe.

His ears started ringing.

“I-idon’tknow-w-w” He choked, starting to wheeze. “I-i- w-where am i? W-whatsgoingon-n-n?!” His voice started to skip like a broken machine, going in and out of sounding robotic and natural. His eyes flickered between pink and blue at rapid pace and his head started to jerk back and forth.

Zeke swam back away in fear as Marvin continued to spaz and wheeze. Eventually his head snapped to the right before his head fell forward, completely passed out again.

The lab was silent for a couple tense minutes before Zara piped up, “I… I think he’s broken.”

Zeke swallowed and put on a determined face, “We’ll have to fix that then…”

(ANGST) Jackie coming back to the other with blood on his face, hands and has glazed eyes. He doesn't look like he recognizes the others.

The boys didn’t quite understand why things were still so tense. Maybe it was just them growing up.

Schneep had been withdrawing from their sleeping piles at night, opting instead to sleep in their ever growing pile of scrap metal. The other boys tried to ask why, but Henrik just said it was more comfortable. The boys didn’t understand, maybe it was just a stalker thing.

Marvin had been going out on his own more and more. When Chase tried to ask why, Marvin looked away almost guilty. He was really scared about losing himself again so he wanted to spend time alone during the day.

And Jackie… he was always going off looking for fights. He’d come home with minor cuts and big bruises, looking tired and worn out. He would quickly fall asleep before anyone could talk to him and he’d be out the cave before anyone woke up.

But now.. It was approaching nightfall and no one had seen hide or tail of Jackie. The others all exchanged worried glances before agreeing they should go look for him together.

They found him just at the gap between the shallows and the kelp forest. He was breathing heavily, staring out in the distance. His arms and back were cut deeply with various slashes and bitemarks and his tail wasn’t looking much better. Jamie gasped seeing the state of him, causing the Reaper to turn around.

His hands and face were covered in the sickly yellow of fish blood, practically dripping. But Jackie’s eyes, they were pitch black and glazed over, gazing at the brothers with no recognition.

Marvin shivered seeing him, his mind flashing back to facing Anti. He began to shake and he felt something inside him begin to twitch and spark.

Chase slowly swam forward, hands up. “Jackie…” He started slowly, “I-it’s us.. Just calm down… okay?”

Jackie bared his fangs and gave a small roar, spreading out his claws, looking ready to pounce. Throwing all caution to the wind Jamie spurred forward, hoping to grab Jackie in a hug and snap him out of this.

But Jackie was too fast. He roared and shot out his mandibles, slashing Jamie in the side. Jamie cried out in pain but before he could react Jackie had his hands around his throat. Jamie choked and tried to pry Jackie’s hands off him but the reaper gripped around his neck harder, roaring.

Schneep’s instincts flared in a way he hadn't felt in a long time. Before he even registered it, he was headbutting full force into Jackie, sending the Reaper spiraling back and Jamie floated down, coughing and hacking.

Henrik growled, something deep inside him screaming for blood. His bottom fangs grew and he screeched as he flew at Jackie, digging his teeth deep into his tail. Jackie screamed and he trashed around, trying to shake Schneep off. He managed to flick his tail strong enough to send the stalker flying back. Jamie tried to catch him before he hit the rock form behind them. But Schneep was heavier than expected and the two flew back into the rocks with a loud crash. Jamie’s head hit the rock at full force and he was knocked out, a spot of blood starting to trickle from his head and into the water. Henrik gasped trying to assess what just happened. He snapped out his rage and quickly fretted over Jamie.

“Oh stars… Jamie!” He whispered, looking terrified. He quickly started to apply pressure to Jamie’s wounds.

“Jamie!” Chase cried. Everything was happening so fast, he had almost no time to react. He was ready to swim over and help Henrik when he heard sputtering and gasping breaths behind him.

He looked over to see Marvin heaving, and Chase’s heart dropped when he saw Marvin’s second pair of eyes open. Chase rushed to Marvin’s side and quickly grabbed his shoulders. He could feel his brother shuddering and twitching.

“Marvin! Marvin please calm down!” Chase pleaded, “You can’t lose control now too, please Marvin!”

Marvin tried to respond but nothing came out of his mouth. He wheezed trying to get his breathing under control. Jackie seemed to sense the distress and the presence of another predator and he roared at Marvin and Chase, spreading out his mandibles in challenge.

In response to the threat, Marvin’s eyes fully turned pink and his breathing quieted, his body becoming robotically stiff. He kicked himself away from Chase and slammed into Jackie. Chase cursed and tried to get his bearings back.

Marvin screeched at Jackie, growing his blue claws and digging them into Jackie’s arms. The Reaper yelled but quickly got over the pain and pushed Marvin into the rocks, sticking his mandibles into the warper’s flesh. Marvin winced but otherwise didn’t respond.

A warp gate began to open behind Jackie and he could feel the pull. But Jackie opened his mouth and roared his loudest roar into Marvin’s face. The blast was so loud, the other boys could feel the shockwave. Marvin’s eyes flickered from pink to blue as his body twitched against the blast. The portal vanished into bubbles as Jackie continued to roar. Marvin was starting to sag, the sight of blood leaking from his ears as his eyes continued to flicker.

Chase panicked and quickly barrelled into Jackie, pulling him away. Marvin slid away from the rocks limply, falling to the sea floor with a dull thud, his eyes wide open, gazing far away.

Chase growled in anger, pushing Jackie back. Jackie growled back and pushed Chase down to the sand, grasping his hands against Chase’s neck. Chase gasped, feeling his claws in his neck and he struggled.

He glared at Jackie and quickly turned in the reaper’s grasp, “Fucking SNAP OUT OF IT!” Chase screamed sending his tail full force onto Jackie’s head.

Jackie’s head snapped to the side and for a brief tense second, nothing happened. Then Jackie stared at Chase with big blue eyes. He blinked, like he was having trouble focusing.

“C-Chase…?” He asked in a small, wavering voice. He winced and gasped like he couldn’t breathe, his arms shaking. His injuries were finally catching up to him as Jackie’s eyes rolled back and he fell on top of Chase limply.

Chase sighed and let his head fall back against the sand. He was relieved this was over, but he still needed to get up and help Schneep get the boys back to the cave. He rolls over, letting Jackie fall off before he grabs him and drapes his arm over his shoulder. He swims over to Schneep, who is looking over Marvin with a worried expression.

Marvin’s eyes are still open and glossy, his head occasionally twitching. Henrik is trying to check Marvin’s ears and panicking slightly.

“Marvin… Marvin!” Henrik whispers, trying to get him to respond. Chase gently lays Jackie down by Jamie, who is no longer bleeding and sleeping peacefully. Chase then swims over and puts a hand on Schneep’s shoulder. The stalker jumps slightly before looking back at Chase.

“How is he?” Chase asks. Henrik shakes his head.

“I do not know…. He has not moved…” Henrik starts, but is cut off by Marvin jerking upwards, gasping. His eyes flash pink for a second before he blinks and seems to come back to himself.

“Henrik…? Chase…?” Marvin wonders, looking around confused. He blinks, seeing the boys injuries and panics again. “Shit- did i?!”

Chase quickly shushes him and gently pats his shoulder. “It’s okay Marv… don’t worry about that right now. We need your help getting everyone home, can you warp?”

Marvin looks back to see Jamie and Jackie sleeping in the sand and bites his lip. He nods slowly, rising up.

“I… I think I can..” He mumbles. Schneep quickly goes to pick up Jamie and he cradles the little one in his arms. Chase picks up Jackie again and drapes him across his shoulders. Marvin concentrates and opens up a warp gate. The boys quickly go through.

Marvin settles against the wall once they’re back home and closes his eyes, tuckered out. Schneep hastily goes to get creepvine wraps and first aids to start wrapping up everyone’s wounds. Chase settles next to Marvin and sighs, trying to keep an eye on everyone.

After a while, Schneep finishes treating everyone. Jamie and Jackie slowly wake up to the others curled around them.

Jackie panics, images of blood and claws flashing through his head. He shouts and scrambles away, startling all the boys awake. Jackie is holding his head and gasping, muttering over and over.

“I’m sorry-! I-i… I’m so so sorry!” He feels the hot burn of tears on his face and soon he’s wrapped up in the arms of Jamie and Chase and Marvin. Jamie is petting Jackie’s hair and shushing him.

“Jackie please breathe… It’s okay...:” Chase tries to reassure.

“It is not though,” Henrik speaks up and all the boys look up at him confused. Schneep is looking at the ground, trying not to stare them in the face.

“What.. what do you mean?” Marvin questions.

Schneep takes a deep breath before addressing his brothers.

“I think it is time we split up.”

It had a been couple weeks since an incident. Marvin was all healed from his encounter with Anti and Jackie was feeling like himself again. But the atmosphere in the nest was tense. Nobody wanted to bring up the situation with Anti, it hurt too much. Plus they had no ideas on how to find him and bring him home.

Though that didn’t stop Henrik from wanting to tinker and see if he could use what white suit equipment they had. Maybe there was some way to make something useful. The boys were smarter than the white suits realized and more resourceful.

So Henrik sent Jackie on a mission to see if he could find more abandoned parts in some wrecks back in Reaper territory. Jackie wasn’t one to refuse a task like this, but Chase was worried. Last time Jackie went to reaper territory...well he was scared for his little brother.

Jackie obviously refused to Chase’s suggestion at first. Reaper territory was far to dangerous for a prey fish. But Chase is hard to argue with when he’s set on something. Plus Chase convinced Jackie that it would be faster to search in a group. Jackie couldn’t argue.

The ocean didn’t seem as bright today. It must have been a muggy day on the surface. Maybe it’ll rain, Chase thought with a small smile on his face. He often liked to peek out of the water to feel rain on his face. It was always nice for a change of pace.

The two brothers approached a wreck far on the outskirts of Reaper terrority. It seemed like one they hadn’t explored. Both of the boys looked at each other with mixed expressions. This could spell either adventure or disaster. Either was a certain possibility, knowing their luck.

But off they swam to explore. They squeezed through the cracks in the broken hull and into what looked like a laboratory. If only Schneep was here, he liked this kind of stuff.

The boys swam through cautiously past strange glass bottles, broken and discarded. Past huge monitors cracked in half, wires exposed. Past what looked like a glass cabinet filled with various equipment and vials.

Chase paused in front of cabinet, peering inside. “Think Henrik would need anything from here?” He asked Jackie, who was digging through large piles of broken metal.

“Just get whatever you can bro, Schneep’s not picky.”

Chase looked at him, struggling to dig through the mess, his tail flailing in the air. He held back a quiet laugh before turning his attention back to the cabinet. He carefully pried it open, feeling the strain of time keeping it stuck. As he looked through the cabinet he carefully moved away a bunch of vials and bottles so he could see to the back, looking for any kind of machinery they could use. Chase was searching so intently, he hadn’t realized a big collection of sickly green vials we’re making their way to the edge of the shelves. Until…. Wham!

A bump from Chase sent the vials over the edge, hitting him on the neck and back, shattering into broken pieces. He exclaimed loudly, feeling the broken glass cut into his neck and the cloud of sickly green fluid settling on his skin. The liquid stung like crazy and he blinked painful tears out of his eyes.

Jackie immediately sprung over towards Chase. “Dude, you okay?! What happened?”

“Nothing,” Chase assured, quickly rubbing his neck, “I just knocked over a few vials or something.”

“I think you got cut man…”

“We’ll take care of that once we get back to Henrik.” Chase said bluntly. Jackie blinked, unconvinced for a second. But he eventually shrugged and started gathering what he felt was useful into one of their bags. Chase carefully felt the cuts on his neck, wondering why the hell they hurt so much.

After about a half hour of careful searching, the boys took their brimming bags of goodies back to the cave. But Chase wasn’t feeling so hot. Well, he was actually feeling really hot. And shivery. His vision was fading in and out but he didn’t think too much of it. He probably just needed some sleep or something.

Jamie was curled up half asleep next to a concentrated Schneep looking through old PDA files. He looked up as he heard the rustling of their bags.

“Ah good! You are back,” He said with a soft smile, “We got a little worried.”

“No sweat, doc. Me and Chase can handle anything!” Jackie beamed, throwing his fist out to Chase for a fist bump. Chase tiredly grinned, knocking his fist against Jackie’s. He suddenly felt a wave of nausea overcome him and sagged slightly. Henrik immediately took notice and swam up to meet Chase, startling Jamie awake as his head fell towards the sand.

“Are you hurt, Chase?” He asked curiously. Chase shook his head slightly.

“No… well, yeah, i got cut by some glass at the wreck and I’ve… i dunno I feel kinda strange. But I could just be tired.”

“Let me see in the light,” Henrik commanded, dragging Chase to the spot where the sky shone into the cave. He pointed for Chase to sit on the ground and Chase tiredly obeyed. He just wanted to sleep.

Henrik swam behind Chase and carefully observed the cuts. His eyes widened slightly and a slight tremor came through his voice.

“Chase… what was in that glass…?”

“Is something wrong?” Jackie asked, swimming back over, leaving the pile of metal discarded in the corner. Henrik moved over to show the reaper a clear view of Chase’s neck. The wound wasn’t deep but from the cut a series of crack like veins had started to form, like Chase’s skin was breaking apart. And some of the veins were glowing a sickly green.

“What is that?!”Jackie exclaimed in horror, and Jamie swam over to see it too. The little one put a hand over his mouth in surprise.

“What? What is it?” Chase snapped, too tired to deal with this. “It’s just a cut isn’t it?”

“Chase whatever cut you back there… i think i might have been dangerous….” Henrik started slowly. Chase was trying to listen, really. But his vision was swimming more and more, and his head was killing him. He leaned his head down, eyes barely able to keep open.

“Can’t we just worry about this later…?” He yawned. Henrik quickly swam to the front of him and shook Chase’ shoulders.

“Chase, Chase! You cannot sleep! This is bad… maybe we can see if the PDAs have something! There has got to be something to fix this!” Schneep was sounding panicked, but Chase was fading. He was so hot, he just wanted to sleep.

“Woah, what’s going on in here?” A new voice asked from above. Marvin swam down from the skylight of the cave, carrying his own bag of treasures.

Jackie called up, “Chase is sick or something!”

Marvin laughed slightly, dumping his bag with the others. “Huh that’s weird, he seemed just fine this morning! Is it like the time that-“

Jackie, Henrik and Jamie all turned when Marvin cut off. He was just still, staring at the cut on Chase’s neck with a strange expression, eyes slowly widening. Then his eyes filled with bright pink, and he seemed to grow a second pair.

“M-Marvin….?” Henrik asked, shakily.

Marvin opened his mouth to reply but all that came out was robotic sounding gibberish.

“▀▖┗▛▄▖▜▚┣ ▜▚┗┣┗┫┓┏┓ ▛▄▖”

The boys suppressed a shudder, and Jackie moved closer to Chase on instinct. He didn’t like the look on Marvin’s face.

Everything happened so fast.

Suddenly Marvin was rushing towards Chase, knocking Jackie and Jamie away. Schneep was closest to Chase and he curled around him protectively as Marvin approached. Marvin dug bright blue claws into the Stalker’s shoulders before shoving him away. Henrik cried in pain and hit the cave wall with a dull thud.

Chase, hardly aware of the situation, looked up just in time to see Marvin’s terrifying alien eyes boring into him. Chase gave a cry of shock at the sight as Marvin’s claws dug deep into his arms. Chase screamed, trying to pull away, digging his tail into the sand below. But, Marvin held firm, stronger than he usually was. Then suddenly, Chase was falling backwards, feeling the pull of a current dragging him away. He was blown back, twisting and turning through a whirlpool of purple and blue. He caught one more glimpse through the chaos at Marvin staring at him blankly before the warp gate closed. Leaving Chase bleeding and disoriented and sick, in a field of darkness far away from home.

(To be continued….Only cuz this is getting long sorry;;;)

(Also before ya’ll get mad at me let’s just assume this is after Juri’s Chase crisis? Or before?? ITS SEPERATE OKAY!! I had the idea to hurt Chase first >:C)
