Broken Pieces-Chp120

[the gang searched ard, dispatching anyone who got in their way with either brute force, weapons or their powers, bt can't find them anywhere]

Hater: Dammit! Where r they?!

Fury: Son, look! [pointed at Wander's hat tht fell, n the direction seem to lead to a dead end in the hallway]

Hater: [takes the hat n trembled] Wander...

Peepers: :( Brad... (rubs his boss's shoulder in comfort but really worried himself)

Fury: [felt ard the wall of the dead end until he felt something bumpy on the edges, fiddled with it n it turns out to be a switch to open a secret door panel] Oh, a secret room

Hater: [opened the door n it revealed a downward spiral staircase]

Peepers: They must be down there somwhere...

Hater: The hat was left there, I suppose we don't hv any other options

Fury: [activate his claw, flaring them to make it like a torch] Lets go dwn then

Peepers: (follows Fury and Hater)

[the trio went dwn the spiral staircase n it led them to some kind of hallway, n dwn the hallway, they can hear chanting n the smell of potions n sounds of bubbling]

Peepers: (sniffs) Ugh...that smells too strong...

Hater: I knw [grimaced]

Fury: Shh, I hear something else [listened harder, only to hear sobbing] Tht sounds like...

Peepers: (closely)... Sir, I think that's... :o

Hater: [didnt wait for another second as he stormed inside, soon finding Brad n Wander shackled to the wall n seeing Smog chanting n blowing some type of purplish smoke tht steamed up out the cauldron at them] Stop right there!!

Smog: Ah, u found my plc of work. I commend u for tht. Bt ur too late. A few more mins n these two will be permanently under my control n will love only me!

Wander: (struggling against his restraints) ... (looks up) H...;( H-Hatey!!

Peepers: (sees Brad also in restraints) My Prince! :o

Brad: Nnnggghhh... [his eyes bleary, almost succumbing to the magic smoke] M... Master... (cough cough)

Hater: LET THEM GO!!! [lunges up to him, only to be hit by a barrier Smog put up on himself]

Smog: [laughed maniacally]

Wander: (breathing hard...still struggling against his restraints, and seemingly almost breaking them)

Hater: [breathes hard, giving into his emotions as he slowly went to berserk mode]

Fury: [shot his powers at Smog to try n break the barrier]

Wander: Hater... ;( ... (breathing even harder as his eyes started glowing brightly)

Peepers: (shooting at the barrier) Hang in there, Brad!

Brad: [flinched at the light of the shots, coughing hard frm the smoke]

Hater: [went into berserk mode n started engaging a fight alongside Fury]

Smog: We'll see how u can defeat me with a time limit! [threw something into the cauldron to intensify the smoke, making it bigger n permeate the room as he returned fire at the trio]

Wander: (tries to hold his breath from the smoke) >< ...

Brad: [goes into a coughing fit, trying not to inhale bt it was so  hard]

[the trio engaged in an intense battle with Smog, debri, potions, drywall, bricks, etc.. flying evrywhere, it was a wonder none of it hit Wander n Brad]

Wander: (growls)...(finally managing to break free somehow) Finally... (sets to trying to break Brad free as well)

Brad: [coughed hard, trying to help Wander along by struggling in his own binds to loosen it]

Smog: U'll nvr make it in time, u fools! Wen I'm done with u, these two will be mine! [lashed out a tentacle n smacked Peepers across the head, slamming him against the wall, knocking him out]

Fury: Mr Peepers!! [growled as he lunged towards him, only to hv a tentacle dematerialize into smoke ard his face, smothering him]

Hater: [roared n tries to grab a hold of Smog to bite him dwn, bt he kept dematerializing his body tht he couldnt get a grip on him]

Wander: (gets Brad free)...Enough is ENOUGH... (grabs nearby pole and rushes towards Smog to strike him down)

Brad: M-Master...! (cough cough cough) Master...!! [crawled towards Peepers n cradled him on his lap] Pls... Pls... Pls be OK... (cough cough cough) [was getting close to passing out]

Smog: [managed to dematerialize before the pole hit him] U insignificant fool!! [shot a tentacle out n grabbed Wander by the throat] Lets see if u can still be this feisty wen I lobotomize u aftr u take in my smoke [held him close to the smoke to let him inhale it]

Peepers: (doesn't respond)...

Wander: (refuses to breath to smoke and bites down hard, making Smog bleed)

Smog: [snarled n was forced to let go, dropping him to the ground] U bitch! I'll lobotomize u now!!

[Smog was abt to stab a sharp tentacle into Wander's head wen Hater took the chance of this distraction to sink his teeth dwn onto Smog's jugular, biting dwn hard on a pressure point where Smog couldn't dematerialize, making the sorceror starting to choke in his blood]

Wander: (gets up and quickly bashes Smog's face with the pole)

[by the time Hater n Wander were done with Smog, he was pretty much a bloody pulp on the ground]

Hater: [was still in berserk mode tho, n was growling as he got up, looking for someone else to maul on]

Fury: Son! Son, snap out of it! Wat's wrong with him? [has nvr reli seen his berserk mode before]

Wander: (breathing hard till he turned to Hater, still holding the pole) Hatey, he's almost dead, you don't have to-

Hater: [snarled n lashed his claw at Wander, hitting him right across the left side of his face]

Fury: Wander!! [rushed to him]

Wander: (screams, falling back, clutching his left eye) ... ugh... (looks up worried at Hater, trembling and trying to back up)

Hater: [growled as he pounced onto him before Fury could reach him, n was getting ready to bite dwn wen he smelled the blood on Wander's eye n face, n somehow felt something familiar abt it, slowly calming dwn as he whined n licked at the wound, as if trying to make him feel better]

Wander: (still trembling but feeling Hater lick his wound helped him calm down slightly, knowing Hater was still there somehow despite being berserk)

Brad: [sobs as he cradled Peepers close] Master... Master is not moving...

Fury: We gotta get outta here, the smoke is getting worse, evn I'm feeling a little off

Hater: [was still licking his wound, tho his features seemed to hv shrunken dwn a bit, slowly turning normal]

Wander: (watches Hater slowly turn back to normal) ... ;( hater...?

Hater: [the daze in his mind soon cleared n he was bk to normal] W-Wander...? M-My star...? [sees the wound on Wander's face, then saw his own bloody claw tht matched the scratches n put two n two together] Oh gob... Wat hv I done...?

Fury: No time to waste, guys. Let's get outta here! [ushered the gang out of the potion lab, leaving Smog's body behind]

Wander: (is carried by Hater)

Peepers: (gets carried by Brad)

[the gang soon managed to get out of the castle, where Awesome n Sylvia were there waiting with Ash'mund's aircraft]

Sylvia: [stuck her head out of the window] C'mon, lets get outta here! I can hear the sirens at a distance. Someone must've seen the warehouse fire!

Fury: Coming! [ushered the group up into the aircraft]

Awesome: Let's go, go, go!

[everyone got on the aircraft n flew off before the sirens of police n fire dept reached the area]
