Broken Pieces-Chp79

[The gang was led into the huge living room]

Jeeves: U wait right here. The twins will be here with the snacks [leaves them]

Sylvia: The twins?

Hater: We hv a lot of maids to keep this house running. The twins Axe n Axel are the head maids of this mansion

Awesome: (to Hater) So, you're also an uncle now, eh?

Hater: I dunno. Maybe, maybe not. I mean, the last time I heard abt my sibs before I left, my sister was already celebrating her 1st year wedding anniversary n my bro got engaged to this cute guy frm Planet Decker. They're prolly breeding like rabbits now

Wander: Hehe. Think it'll be nice to see them again, won't it? Or...awkward? (understands Hater's sibs had more attention then he did)

Hater: We'll just see then

[Moments later, a pair of identical twins dressed in maid outfits carrying trays of drinks n snacks, n they were Skeletor species]

Hater: Axe, Axel. Long time no see

Twins: [spoke in unison n smiled] Long time no see, Young Master Hater. Its been a while [sets dwn the trays]

Awesome: Hehe. (finds it amusing they spoke at the same time)

Twins: We heard ur home, so we made ur favourite snacks

Hater: U girls r a peach. I missed u girls the most

Twins: We missed u too. Enjoy ur snacks. We'll catch up later [bows n leaves]

Sylvia: Wow, that is just bizarre. I wonder if our twins would do that

Awesome: ^^; Or do that thing my sisters did, ending each other's sentences and stuff.

Wander: They seem nice.

Hater: Yeah, them n Jeeves r the closest to a family I had ever since Mom n Dad started ignoring me. I'm the only one who can tell Axe n Axel apart

Brad: N how's that?

Hater: [grinned] Trade secret. Wouldn't u like to knw?

Awesome: How?

??: Yeah, forget trying to get him to tell u. He didn't even tell us

[The gang turned to see a male n female skeletor. The male looked like the same size as Hater, but he has a shorter, stubbier pair of horns, dressed a similar looking robe like Hater, but the top is blue, n has a cape that seems to bear the family insignia. The female looked taller than both Hater n the male, her horns slightly bigger n more jagged, n were pierced with earrings n bangles, n was dressed in pretty expensive clothe robes]

Hater: Grimm. Loathe. [gave them a small grudging look]

Wander: (appears interested that these two will be his brother and sister in laws...or so he was hoping)

Loathe: Wats this I hear that ur hitched? Where's the bride? [sees Sylvia] Is that her?

Sylvia: [snorts] Me? Pls, I'm with him [leans near Awesome n gestures to her kids]

Awesome: You should be talking about this little dude, here. (gestures to Wander)

Grimm: [looked at Wander] This guy is ur wife? I didn't knw u swing that way, bro

Hater: I swing both ways, Grimm. If u paid attention, you would knw [showed them the litters] N these are my kids

Loathe: Wow, wat r u, rabbits? That's a lot of kids

Wander: ^^; Well, we nomads have about five to six in a litter.

Grimm: Nomads? As in Star Nomads? I thought u guys are extinct

Wildflower: Well, we r slightly spread out n we're a wandering nature, so I wouldn't be surprised they got lost in the nine galaxies or died in any of their misadventures

Angel: And he's actually only half Star Nomad...since I'm an Angel Nomad myself.

Loathe: Angel Nomad? I didn't think u guys exist [looked at him closely] Ur more of an urban legend among the travelers I've met

Angel: I suppose you have heard something different about us?

Loathe: [shrugged] The usual things, like u guys can fly, got crazy magic powers, may or may not hv a violent streak...

Hater: Loathe, don't be rude

Angel: Yes, our anger will get out of control...however, we have reason for it...

Wander: Papa...

Loathe: Wat? I'm just being honest

Hater: There's being honest n there's being outspoken n rude

Grimm: Someone is being testy after being gone for almost a decade...

Wander: (frowns) Maybe because of you two. Hater has been ignored most of his life and you took all the attention from him. I have five older brothers myself but I wasn't being ignored or anything. Can't you two at least try and be nice to your own sibling?

Sylvia: Buddy... [did the throat slicing motion to tell him to pipe dwn]

Loathe: [scoffed] Who do u think u are lecturing us? We barely even knw u, let alone accept u as one of our own

Grimm: I shouldn't be surprised Hater would choose an uncouth species for a wife...

Hater: Hey, don't u give my wife lip wen u knw he's right. Look who's decided to actually notice that I'm gone, after that "great send off" u gave me, or there lack of

Loathe: Says the one who's an attention whore...

??: That's quite enough, all of u

(First shows a female Skeletor with a pink sweater and blue skirt, adjusting her glasses; this being Hater's mother)

Anguish: What's all the commotion in here?

Wander: (thinks; must be Hater's mother...)

Loathe: Take a wild guess who started it, Mother

[a male Skeletor enters, looking like an older version of Hater, but as Wander imagined, he was a hulk of a guy, horns twice the size of Hater's, red eyes, maroon top robes, n his gloves looked more like a pair of gauntlets. Everyone had to tilt their heads to look at him]

Fury: I see we hv a big crowd here

Hater: Father... [mildly intimidated by his size, but glares at him nonetheless]

Wander: (feels very immitated by the looks of Hater's father)

Anguish: (notices Wander) Oh, is this your partner, Hater? Very interesting choice.

Wander: (smiles a little, already liking Anguish but still felt unnerved by Fury)

Fury: [looked dwn at Wander, then reaches dwn without warning with one hand n picks Wander up like he weighed nothing, making him sit on his palm as he studied him, then studied both litters that actually fit in his whole other palm as well] A bit tiny for my taste, but I guess u two look like a good match

Hater: Father, pls be careful...

Wildflower: Hi~~ (heart) (heart) I'm Wildflower n this is my husband Angel. We're the in-laws. So pleased to meet u. Here's a greeting gift [hands them the basket gift, breaking the awkward ice]

Wander: o.o Uh...

Anguish: Fury, don't be scaring the poor dear.

Grimm: Wat? U actually like this smart mouth?

Fury: This "smart mouth" convinced ur brother to come home, Grimm. I suggest u don't drive him away again

Hater: Correction, Father. YOU drove me away. U n Mother [glared at both of them, not caring abt pleasantries anymore]

Wander: ^^; Um, can you put me down now, please, sir?

Anguish: Us, hon?

Fury: Oh sorry [sets Wander n the litters dwn]

Hater: Yes, Mother. U and Father r too busy caring abt Loathe n Grimm to pay attention to me. U made me unimportant, so in a way, its ur fault I left

Loathe: Here comes the attention-seeking again [rolled her eyes]

Anguish: Loathe, let him finish, young lady.

Wander: Phew.

Hater: Even before Grimm was born, u hv always favoured Loathe over me. She gets the best clothes, the bigger share of the pie, the first turn, everything. Then wen Grimm came ard, I was totally forgotten. It was all abt Loathe n Grimm, only them. I got better scores than them in class, my powers came earlier than the two of them combined, n yet u praised them instead. I just got a "meh" frm the both of u. U even forgot my birthday, for gob sake! Literally!

Fury: I'm sorry we made u feel that way, son, but Loathe is the eldest n we needed to groom her to be the new Lady of Skeletor, but since she clearly didn't want to, Grimm had to step in...

Hater: Hv u ever considered maybe I would wanna run as Lord of Skeletor?

Grimm: U didn't seem interested...

Hater: Did u guys even bothered to ask?! [was starting to get furious now, all the pent up anger welling inside him]

Wander: :( (goes over to hold Hater, comforting him)

Hater: I came home bcoz my wife told me to patch things up with u, try to make amends, that maybe ur sorry for wat u did, but clearly frm Father's response, u don't feel sorry for me. This... This is a fucking mistake! [storms off]

[Awkward silence later...]

Brad: Well... This is awkward...

Wander: :(... (turns to Loathe and Grimm) Well, I hope you're both proud of yourselves... (goes after Hater) Hatey!

Loathe: Well, Hater's wife sure is a piece of work, lecturing us like as if he knows better than us...

Awesome: Hey! You shut up talking about Wander like that! He's been through enough!

Grimm: Look, another person who speaks where he doesn't belong. Should I teach him a lesson, Mother? [activated his powers, which was the same green powers as Hater's]

Sylvia: U keep ur mitts off my husband, mister! [raised her fists in fight mode]

Awesome: Bring it on, I dare you!

Anguish: THAT'S ENOUGH! >_<

Loathe: Yeah. Give it to em, bro! [ignored Anguish in favour of a brawl]

Wildflower: Guys, no need to make the situation worse...

Grimm: Oh ur so gonna get it, u fish head...

Fury: SILENCE!!! [the whole room literally shook at his roar]

Awesome: O.O

Peepers: O_O

Sylvia: O_O [realized where Hater got his temper frm]

Wildflower: O.O;;

Brad: [literally hid behind Peepers]

Loathe&Grimm: [stopped grudgingly, seemingly used to their dad's outbursts]

Anguish: ^^ Thank you, Fury dearie.

Fury: [sighed as he calmed dwn] Now I knw we've done some mistakes to our boy, that we're all at fault here. I'm sorry u all hv to be caught up in our family drama, but I think this is something that we hv to resolve ourselves, btwn us. U guys hv traveled all this way, so ur welcomed to stay with us for as long as u like, but while ur here, I'd like to urge u to keep a distance frm us while we talk it out, n that includes ur son [looks at Wander's parents] Do u think u can do that?

Angel:...And what of our son, being his wife and all...?

Fury: We'll discuss that in more detail wen we're done settling our affairs, but for now, first impressions? He's a good match, like I said. Wat say u, Anguish dear?

Anguish: If you think that's the right thing, ruby.

Fury: I'll hv Jeeves n the twins show u ur quarters. Dinner will be ready at 7, feel free to join us if u like. Good day [turns to leave]

Loathe & Grimm: [huffed at the gang as they walked off, following behind their father]
