Episode 9

Antonio; 8was really busy with the others8

Takashi: *waited until he was done with an order before waving for him*

Miracle: *sees him* Hey, Uncle Toni. I think Uncle Taka is trying to call u

Antonio; 8ran over8

Takashi: *took him aside and told him everything tht had happened*

Antonio; 8swallowed8

Takashi: So right now we need to go find Ozzie-chan before Thrax ottota-chan goes into another one of those crazy frenzies again. Hayaku ne (hurry)

Antonio; 8told Leah he was leaving early and headed out8

Takashi: *headed home to pick up the scent first and worked their way there*

8soon they all spred out8

Takashi: *went off to the east, bt not before he waited till Antonio to be out of sight n sneaked into a convenient store, looking for something in particular first before his search*

Antonio; 8took to the west, scarwering every tight corner8

Takashi: *aftr getting wht he wanted, he too searched every nook and cranny*

Julius; 8was silently praying for them to stay safe8

Ricardo: *watches ovr the kids as much as he could*

8they all cuddled up against him8

*meanwhile, a figure approaches Amber's home*

8the cell in question didn't know what was going on and he didn't care8

*the figure looked for an unlocked door n found one at the bk before he entered quietly, not making a sound*

Amber; 8was slumped on the couch8

*the figure came close frm behind him, then the hair came alive n wrapped it ard Amber's neck tight*

Takashi: *was searching wen he picked up another familiar scent n made his way there*

Amber; 8choked as the grip got tighter8

*the figure, using the hair, brought him higher, letting him hang in the midair as he continued to strangle him*

Takashi: *followed the scent to Amber's house n heard a struggle going on, ramming the door trying to get it open*

Amber; 8didn't have much strength and soon passed out8

*the figure continued to strangle him until his neck snapped before letting him drop to the ground*

Takashi: *manages to get in n turned on the lights to see tht Jared was standing ovr his body* A...Amber-san...? J...Jared-chan...?

Jared: *had a cruel smile* Tht'll teach him to slap me. *quickly made a dash to escape*

Amber; 8he now lay lifeless on the floor8

Takashi: Amber-san! Amber-san!! *cradles Amber in his arms n tries to shake him awake*

Amber; 8was limp and cold to touch8

Takashi: *the reality of his death struck him as he trembled* Ya...Yada (No)...Yada, yada, yada~!! Amber-san~!! AMBER-SAN~!!! *wailed his name ovr n ovr again as he cried pools of tears, his arms ard Amber's lifeless body*

8Amber's coffee table seemed to be clutered with crumpled up paper with a pen and blank pieces of papers on the table8

Takashi: *aftr he calmed dwn some, lay Amber on the couch n made a call to Spryman and Drix abt the situation, he picked up one of the crumpled up paper to read*

8it was a letter to him, Amber had been trying to find the right words to say to him trying to say he was sorry8

Takashi: *saw all the same things in different formats on all the other crumpled up papers n more tears poured as he read them, slumping on his knees to the ground, sobbing*

8soon Drix arrived with a few officers8

Drix: Takashi?

Takashi: *looks up with red sodden eyes*

Drix: Hv anyone else touched the crime scene besides u n Jared?

Takashi: *shook his head*

Drix: We'll take it frm here, Taka. U go wait outside, k? *led the virus out before gesturing the officers to process the crime scene*

8the cops processed the scene8

Drix: *processed it as well along with them*

8there wasn't much to go by8

*aftr everything was done, they wheeled the body out of the house, the press and the public gathered ard the area*

8the cops pushed them aside as they loaded the body into an ambulance8

Takashi: *managed to sneak in the ambulance n unzipped the body bag, looking dwn at Amber's pale face* Gomen....Gomenasai... *tears came again* Taskete ja nai (I couldnt save u)...Gomenasai... *sobs as he leaned dwn to kiss Amber's lips for the first n last time*

Julius; 8shuttered, feeling something wasn't right8

Ricardo: *sees it* Something wrong, Jules?

Julius; Something's not right.

Ricardo: Wht is it... *was alerted by the breaking news tht interrupted the cartoon tht he was watching along with the kids*

Julius; 8looked at it8

*the news was announcing on Amber's incident*

Julius; 8covered his mouth8 Oh Hector...

Ricardo: *sees Takashi being shooed out of the ambulance n attacked by the press, in which Drix came into view and shielded Takashi frm them, shouting at them "No comments!"*

Julius; 8shook his head in shock8

Ricardo: Santa Madre of Hector... *covers his mouth in shock n horror*

Julius; 8it broke his heart when he saw Takashi's face, the look of pain and heartache8

*the camera shifted to the ambulance as it left, n then to Drix who led Takashi to his car, the news announcing the public to stay tuned for further reports*

Julius; 8shut it off8

Ricardo: I...I cant believe Amber is murdered...b...by Jared...

Julius; It's not his fault

8the Roja twins kicked Ricardo8

Ricardo: Ouch! Hey~!

Kiaran: Jared oni-chan is not bad! Is not!

Sakura; It's not his fault, whoever did this won't be living for much longer.

Ozzex: I hope Mama finds him fast

Jamie&Junko: I hope Uncle Taka finds either of them fast

Julius; We all hope the same, be strong now we'll get through this

*the kids all nodded*

Julius; 8clasped his hands8

Drix: *took Takashi to the PD as standard procedure to be testified on the crime scene n wht happened*

8the cops looked at the virus with narrowed eyes8

Drix: *shot them bk a warning look before taking him to the questioning room*

8Gluteus and a couple of cops were behind the two way mirror8

Takashi: *looks dwn at the table, vry uncomfortable*

Drix; Taka it's ok, you're not in trouble for anything

Takashi: They...They think I killed him, do they?

Drix; Don't let them judge you now, all I want is the truth

Takashi: Ha...Hai...Wakatta yo (I understand)

Drix; Tell me what happened/

Takashi: H...Hai... *told him everything tht he had seen prior to Drix's arrival* Hector-kami...It's all my fault...If I found out sooner, Amber-san wouldnt... *buries his face in his hands*

Drix; 8rested his hand on the virus's shoulder8

Takashi: Doushite...? Doushite, ne, Drix-san? Why did Jared-chan kill him? Korosu jin ja nai no (He's not a killer)!

Drix; I know, somehow Elektra's heart ended up in his body.

Takashi: Na...Nani...?? How did tht oni (demon) ended up in him?!

Drix; We think someone disguised her corpse during the transfer

Takashi: *trembled, remembering the cruel smile Jared had on his face*

Drix; We'll get them, don't worry

Takashi: *nodded quietly* H...Hai...

Drix; Do you need anything/ 8rested his hand on the virus's shoulder8

Takashi: C...Can I go now, Drix-san...?

Drix; 8nodded8 Take care Takashi

Takashi: *nodded n left via the backdoor to avoid the press*

Maria: Ur letting him go? For all we knw he could be part of the murder *was sporting some bandages on herself because she was part of the accident*

Drix; Takashi isn't likw that

Maria: Yeah right. Viruses r all the same. N ur good ol' friend's son, who turns out to be tht bitchy Elektra clone, just did this to me and all the other PD members n u say he isnt like tht?

Drix; This wouldn't have happened if someone hadn't tampered with his operation

Maria: Operation? Wht operation? Wht in the name of Hector r u talking abt?

Drix; Jared needed a heart transplant and some asshole digused Electra's corpse as another cell for the donor8

Maria: *looks skeptical*

Drix; His family are very upset and want this to end

Maria: Yeah well the last thing we want is another Neo-Nazi on the loose, so yeah, at least we're on the same page on tht

Drix; Without killing him

Maria: *raised a brow* Ur telling me to let a killer live? Wht r u, frm the city of Mother Teresa?

Drix; It's not his fault

Maria: Fault or not, he just killed someone, n its the personal aide and secretary of the Mayor. We're apprehending him at all cost. And we've got the army barracks and the city council to bk us up on this, so u got no say, evn if u ARE the closest to the Mayor

Drix; 8growled8

Maria: *huffed n left to join her comrades*

Drix; 8quickly left to warn the others8

TOYLB: New Love, New Battle-Season 5-8

Episode 8

Drix: *seeing it almost near lunch hour n got the permission frm Spryman, he waited at the entrance*

Thrax; 8came up to him8

Drix: Good to go?

Thrax; 8nods8

Drix: I've been to this person's house before. We'll try locating him there first

Thrax; Right

Drix: *took the company limo n drove towards the direction*

Thrax; 8looked out8

*the house was a quaint place in the suburbs at the Thumb District*

Thrax; 8narrowed his eyes8

Drix: Well, this should be the plc. Let's go *goes up to the door n rang the bell*

Thrax; 8folded his arms8

*the person who answered the door wasnt the guy, bt a middle aged woman*

Thrax; 8was really starting to get ticked8

Woman: Yes?

Drix: Um...Is Mr. Pullox in?

Woman: Sorry. This is the Reginald residence

Thrax; 8clenched his fist8

Drix: Huh? But...But I just came here during the hormone release n a guy named Pullox lived here...

Woman: Wht? Tht's impossible! We left this house under lock n key n went for a getaway to the appendix countryside to avoid the hormones! Are u saying someone broke into our home?

Drix: Um...well...

Thrax; Looks like it

Drix: Um, well, sorry to bother u then. I think we reli got the wrong house *quickly walked away, ushering Thrax to leave*

Thrax; 8jogged along side him, growling8

Drix: Looks like we were given a false address. Ur right. This Pullox guy reli doesnt exist. So who exactly are we dealing with?

Thrax; Wish I knew

Drix: Now we're at a dead end. How're we gonna go abt this? Bt then again, think bk. I've seen the body of the girl. She looked nothing like Elektra. How is it possible tht she ended up being inside Jared?

Thrax; 8started to think8

Drix: C'mon. Let's make a trip to the doctor who operated on them. Maybe he can help us out

Thrax; 8nods8

Drix: *got in the car n drove both of them to hospice Jared was admitted*

Thrax; 8went up to reception and ask for the doctor who preformed the surgery8

Reception: *paged for the doctor n asked them to wait at the visitor's lounge*

Thrax; Thank you 8takes a seat in the waiting area8

Drix: *waits along with him as well*

*a few moments later, the doctor showed up*

Doctor: Ah, Drixenol. A pleasure to see u. And u too, Mr. Roja. How is ur son doing now?

Thrax; 8snarled8

Doctor: *shrank bk* Wht's his problem?

Drix: Well, u see *explains everything* ...So u see why were here.

Doctor: Hmm...tht is quite a predicament. Bt I assure u the blood work was all fine wen we did it. If it were her blood it would've been rejected long ago

Thrax; 8narrowed his eyes8

Doctor: Besides, u've watched us do the surgery. There was no foul play

Thrax; What about before, where was the body stored/

Doctor: We have the body under lock and key in the morgue aftr u've signed the papers. Drixenol was there. He watched us put it away before it was ready for surgery. No one else has access to tht particular morgue container except me

Drix: He's right. I saw him put her in there, n he kept the keys. N I was with him all the way throughout the day until it was time for surgery

Thrax; 8bit his tongue8

Doctor: If it makes u feel any better, I could show u the bloodwork. I hv a sample for keepsakes in our log

Thrax; 8nods8

Doctor: *led them to the blood sample room n took out the girl's blood sample*

Thrax; 8looked at it8

Doctor: *did the usual bloodwork test n whtnot then made a printout of it, scanned thru the papers n frowned* Tht's odd...

Drix: Wht is it, doc?

Doctor: The results here says its not the same. It wasnt the same as I hv got during the surgery tht day

Thrax; 8had him a vial with strains of hair8 Runs by the sample you used on the day.

Doctor: *nodded n does so, then got the print outs* Wht...? It...It matches! This is impossible! How can a bloodwork suddenly transform itself to be compatible at different times?

Thrax; 9cursed in multiple languages8

Drix: *frowned at the results* This is reli, reli weird. How does he do this?

Thrax; 8growled8

Doctor: *was scratching his head in confusion*

Drix: Wht do u suggest we should do now?

Thrax; Find the bastard, what else.

Doctor: Wait. First we need to confirm the body n see if its reli the girl u suspect to be

Drix: U mean u want to exume the body?

Doctor: Tht's the only way.

Thrax; 8nodded8

Drix: I'll get a permit frm the mayor n find out where she was buried. U guys meet me there wen I call to tell u the location

Thrax; Right

Drix: *made his way to the brain centre. Abt an hour later, he texted Thrax the plc he got frm Spryman*

Thrax; 8motioned to the doctor8

Doctor: *nods n got his car to drive them there*

Drix: *came ovr in abt 5 minutes later*

Thrax; Got the plot number

Drix: *holds out a piece of paper* Yup. Right here. It's... *reads it* Tht way *points at the far left of the plot

Thrax; 8headed to the area7

*the doc followed, while Drix went to look for the graveyard caretaker to show him the permit*

Thrax; 8looked at the plot8

Drix: *came with the graveyard caretaker who is armed with a shovel*

Caretaker; Can I help you/

Doctor: We're gonna need to exume the body, chk out for something. I'm sure my friend here has shown u the permit. We're gonna need u to dig it out

Caretaker; 8nodded and started digging8

*the trio waited for the digging to be ovr*

Caretaker; 8after digging 7ft scratched his head8

Drix: *called out frm above* Any problems dwn there, sir?

Caretaker; There's nothing here

Doctor: Wht?! R u sure?

Caretaker; Yes, every body is suppose to be buried only 6ft.

Drix: Oh my. Now this is reli getting out of hand *scratched his chin*

Thrax; 8growled8

Doctor: * helped the caretaker out of the hole* Are u sure its not buried somewhere else, Drixenol?

Drix: Nope. This is the exact plc tht the mayor gave me

Doctor: *takes out a picture of the father of the donor n showed it to the caretaker* Hv u seen this man or hv u helped bury a little girl tht belonged to this man?

Caretaker; 8shook his head8

Drix: Then he had lied to Spryman. Then all the expenses Spryman had paid for the funeral...

Thrax; Probably pocketed it

Drix: Wht shall we do now?

Thrax; I'm not sure

Doctor: I'm gonna take my leave. I'll see wht I can do to figure this out

Thrax; 8sighed8

Drix: * helped the caretaker close bk the hole

Caretaker; I hate it when this happens

Drix: When wht happens?

Caretaker; Someones purchases a plot but never uses it, it's a waste

Drix: Yeah, I guess ur right. Well, sorry to bother u. We'll be leaving now

Caretaker; 8nods and leaves8

Drix: *led Thrax to the car, thinking*

Thrax; 8got into the car and lay back8

Drix: *drove Thrax bk home*

Thrax; 8got out, his spirit broken8

Drix: *called out frm the window* I'll try n sort this out, alright? U just be there with Oz now

Thrax; 8nods8

Drix: *waves goodbye to Thrax n drove off bk to work*

Takashi: *was getting ready to put the kids for their nap as he saw Thrax coming in* A-ra? Thrax ottota-chan is home

Julius; 8looked up8

Ricardo: *opens the door for Thrax*

Thrax; Thanks 8walks in

Ricardo: Oz had just gotten up, bt he wont come out of his room. Dont worry, we've taken good care of the kids

Takashi: Hai hai, n its time for their nap *carries the snoozing kids upstairs to the nursery*

Thrax; 8collapsed on the couch8

Ricardo: So how did it go?

Thrax; Dead end

Ricardo: Oh? No leads whtsoever? Wht happened?

Thrax; 8told them8

Ricardo: Santa Madre of Hector, tht is reli fucked up

Julius; 8groaned8

Ricardo: *sighed* I wonder wht they're doing to Jared now, n how is Paul dealing with them

Thrax; I wish I knew

Takashi: *came dwn aftr tucking the kids in for their nap*

Thrax; 8looked over8

Takashi: Daijobu ne. All nice n rested

Thrax; Arrigatto Taka

Takashi: *smiles n went to get a drink*

Thrax; 8sighed8

Ricardo: *whispers to Thrax* Taka might look like he's OK right now, bt I hv a feeling he's still miffed frm Amber's rejection

Thrax; 8bit his lip8 Has he tried talking to him/

Ricardo: *shrugs* Since the last time he called him tht day, he hasnt talked to him since, n tht Amber guy hadnt made any effort to call him bk

Thrax; 8now looked worried8

Ricardo: Hv u heard any word frm him?

Thrax; 8shook his head8

Ricardo: *sigh* Well, he'd better shape up. Taka is reli dwn in the dumps wen it comes to talking abt him

Julius; But it questions who should talk to who/

Ricardo: Well, Takashi had already made the effort to call. I think Amber should reciprocate

Julius; And if he doesn't/

Ricardo: Then we're just gonna hv to take the initiative to make him do it

8they nodded8

Ricardo: *turned on the TV where there was a special bulletin going on*

8they looked at the t.v.8

*the bulletin was an announcement of a serious car accident n the vehicles seemed to be the ones the PD and army barracks were using to ferry Jared away*

Julius; 8turned it up8

Newscaster: ...Reports shows tht the vehicles had suffered trauma frm the inside which caused them to derail frm the road and ended up at the expressway, crashing civilian cars. No death casualties were reported bt there hv been reports of many injured. And sources revealed tht the person they hv taken into custody, rumoured to be a clone of the once dangerous n deceased Elektra Mitosis has seem to escape frm custody and is possibly now at large. If u see her *shows Jared's current picture* do not be fooled by her different, seemingly boyish appearance. She is considered armed n extremely dangerous

Julius; 8shut it off8 Bastards

Ricardo: Bt the point is Jared has escaped. He could be anywhere

Julius; 8nods8

Ricardo: U better go chk on Oz, Thrax. Warn him abt this as well

Thrax; 8nods and headed upstairs8

*Ozzie was not in his room anymore, n the window was open*

Thrax; Ozzy!

*the guys heard his cry n went up to investigate*

Thrax; 8looked outside8

*there was no trace of the cell, n his scent showed tht he had long gone*

Takashi: Doushita? Doushita, Thrax ottota-chan?

Ricardo: Wht's going on?

Thrax; He's gone

Takashi: Na...Nani?? Ozzie-chan's gone?

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Ricardo: *sees a note* Hey, I think Oz left somethign

Thrax; 8picked up the note and read it8

Note: I've heard and saw everything. Gonna go look for Jared. Dont follow me. Love, Oz

Thrax; 8went completely white8

Ricardo: *read it as well* Wh...Wht do we do now?

Thrax; 8couldn't take any more and passed out8

Takashi: *caught him* Th...Thrax ottota-chan!

Julius; 8bit his lip8

Takashi: *quickly lays Thrax in bed*

Julius; We have to find them

Ricardo: Bt Oz said we shouldnt...

Julius; And wait for him to get killed

Ricardo: U...Ur right on tht...

Takashi: Sa, ikimasho (let's go), Julius oni-sama?

Julius; I'll stay with Thrax and the kids

Takashi: Wakata (I understand). Maybe I'll bring Antonio onii with me

Julius; 8nods8

Takashi: *went off to Frank's Diner to find Antonio*

Episode 7

*the nxt morning, Oz woke up to give Leah a call, telling her tht he wont be handling the shop coz he needed to take Jared to see the doctors*

Leah; Vat's ok Ozzy, family comes virst

Ozzie: Thanks, Leah girl. U guys hv a good one now

Leah; Be safe Oz 8hangs up8

Ozzie: *hung up n went dwnstairs to make breakfast, bt not before making another call to Amber saying tht Jared couldnt come to work*

8there was no answer8

Ozzie: *blinked* Odd...? *made the call to Spryman instead n while they were talking, Thrax just got home frm his jog*

Thrax; 8pants8

Ozzie: *smiles at Thrax while he was still talking* OK, Paul. Alright...Yeah, I will...U hv a good one now, bye *hangs up the phone n nuzzles Thrax* Hey baby. Mornin'

Thrax; Mornin' baby

Ozzie: I just called Leah n Paul. They're all good with me taking Jared to get help

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: I'll go chk on Jared

Thrax; Be minful ozzy

Ozzie: I knw. If u want u can come with me

Thrax; You sure/

Ozzie: Yeah. At least u can protect me frm him if he pounce on me or something

Thrax; 8nods8

*they both went up to Jared's room n peeked in. Making sure there were no sudden jumps frm Jared's part, Ozzie opened the door n gasped*

Thrax; 8looked in8

*Jared was still sleeping in bed, bt the shocking thing was tht his hair had grown longer than it should, literally all the way dwn his calves, n it was a hairstyle tht was vry familiar*

Thrax; 8bit his tongue8

Ozzie: *approached Jared n fingered the hair* Wht the...this...this hair...

Thrax; This can't be right

Ozzie: Wht? Wht's wrong? Do u knw something abt this?

Thrax; Doesn't look familiar/

Ozzie: *sees the hair n thought bk, then cupped his mouth as he shot bk* Oh Hector...It's...It's Elektra...!!

Thrax; How'd that bitch-/

Ozzie: I dunno. Oh Hector, she...she's bk...n in our son...! *cowered away*

Thrax; 8started to think8

Jared: *starts to stir* Mmh...Wht time is it...? *looks at the time n widened his eyes* Ack! I'm late! I gotta go to work! I... *noticed his hair* Wht the...?

Thrax; Easy Jared

Jared: Wht is this? Wht's wrong with my hair? *pulls at it, thinking it was a wig, bt it was real* Ouch!

Ozzie: *was speechless*

Thrax; 8gulped8

Jared: *looks up at them* Wht? Why r u looking at me like tht?

Thrax; Jared settle down

Jared: *tries to, bt was looking vry nervous right now*

Thrax; Easy Jared

Ozzie: W...Wht r we to do now?

Thrax; I wish I knew

Ozzie: *sighs* First things first. Let's get rid of tht hair *goes n takes a pair of scissors to cut the hair*

Thrax; 8positioned himself8

Jared: *looked at the scissors nervously*

Ozzie: Dont worry. The hair will be gone in no time, baby *starts snipping, bt somehow no matter how he snip, the moment he cut it, the hair regrows itself bk out again*

Thrax; Oh boy

Ozzie: Dang! This is not good

Jared: W...Wht the heck is this? Wht is wrong with me?

Thrax; 8looked at his mate8

Ozzie: *hesitated, bt think tht he was going to find out anyway, so might as well get it ovr with* Jared, the truth is...tht...

*before he could start telling, an entire team of PD officers led by Maria n a few army barracks came barging in*

Thrax; What the hell/

Maria: We've received intelligence tht u r harbouring an Elektra clone here *brandished her gun* Hand her ovr!

Thrax; Back off

Ozzie: *hugged Jared close* Who the hell told u we hv a clone here? U hv no proof!

Maria: U dont need to knw our source! *cocked her gun* Now hand her ovr or we'll hv to use force!

Thrax; 8snarlled8

Maria: *jerked her head* Move it, boys. She's the one with tht cell there

Thrax; 8stood to defend his mate and son8

*the group of PD officers n army barracks made their way to apprehend them*

Ozzie: *shot out his blades in defense mode, shielding both him n Jared in a protective ball*

Thrax; 8felt his spikes shoot out8

*a fight ensued btwn them*

Ricardo: *was showing up with Julius n Takashi to babysit wen they heard the commotion* Wht the...?

Julius; 8ran in8

Ricardo: *quickly went to the nursery to protect the other kids*

Takashi: *ran in as well to see Maria* Ah~! Baka-onna! Wht r u doing here?!

Julius; 8hissed8

Takashi: *sees the PD trying to break the shield* Oi! Hanase yo! Wht r u trying to do to Ozzie-chan?!

Maria: None of ur business, virus

Julius; 8snarls8

Ozzie: *continues to hold up the shield, hugging the crying Jared close*

Maria: Screw this *jerk her head at one officer, in which the officer nod n threw a couple of smoke n flash bombs*

Takashi: Agh~! *blinded by both*

Julius; 8hissed, rubbing his eyes8

Ozzie: *felt his ears ring frm the flash bomb n accidentally let his guard dwn, undoing the shield*

*the army barrack took tht opportunity to take Jared out of his arms n left the plc along with the PD n Maria in the confusion*

Thrax; 8roared8 Jared

Ozzie: Jared! *his arms were empty* Jared!! Jared!! *chased out, bt the vehicles hv already left*

Thrax; 8threw his head back and roared loud enough for the whole body to hear8

Ozzie: *ran till his legs couldnt handle n wailed as well, falling onto his knees*

Takashi: *cursed in Japanese*

Julius; 8rubbed at his eyes8

Ricardo: *told the kids to stay in the nursery n not come out* Santa Madre of Hector! Wht the...? *the smoke frm the smoke bomb came as soon as he opened the door. Quickly he shut the door so as not to suffocate the kids n went to them* Wh...Wht happened? Wht's going on?

8the kids looked at each other in confusion8

Takashi: Ah, Ricky-chan! Abunai (Be careful)! It's dangerous out here!

Ricardo: *goes to them* Wht's going on? Wht just happened? Someone talk to me!

Julius; 8coughed8 Immunity 8cough8 army 8cough8 took Jared 8coughs hard8

Ricardo: Wht?! *quickly opened the windows n doors to air it out* Why would they do tht?!

Takashi: Wakata ja nai no (How should I knw)~! We need to ask Thrax ottota-chan n Oz...A-ra? Where's Ozzie-chan?

*Ozzie's cries n wails were heard outside a few miles away frm the house*

Thrax; 8ran after him8

Ozzie: *was on his knees, crying n wailing, brandishing his blades n slammed them against the ground again n again, screaming Jared's name*

Thrax; 8came up to him8

Ozzie: *cried in agony as ppl were peeking out of their windows or behind curtains n doors to see wht was going on*

Thrax; 8wrapped his arms round him8

Ozzie: Why? Why did I let go?! Why did I let Jared go?! I should've held onto him!! *tears pouring dwn like rain*

Thrax; Those bastard's will pay, I assure you my love

Ozzie: *sobs in Thrax's arms*

Thrax; 8held him close8

Ricardo: *came up to them n helped them up* We better get inside. Ppl r staring at us *ushered them home*

Thrax; 8led his mate inside8

Ozzie: *sobs as he was led bk home*

Thrax; 8mphed back to normal8

Ozzie: *retracts his blades n fell in Thrax's arms, passed out frm the stress*

Thrax; 8held him close8

Kiaran: *peeked out frm the nursery* C...Can we come out now...?

Sakura; What's going on/

Ozzex: *sees Ozzie passed out in Thrax's arms* Wh...Wht's wrong with Mama?

Thrax; He's exhausted

Jamie&Junko: Wht just happened?

Takashi: *told them everything*

Sakura; 8snarled, her own fangs extended8

Kiaran&Ozzex: *held Rory protectively, remembering Elektra's obsession of trying to take him*

Rory; 8growled8

Ricardo: Better put Oz to rest first

Thrax; 8nods and carries his mate to their room8

Ozzie: *gets tucked into bed n curled up to sleep*

Thrax; 8stroked his hair8

Ricardo: Why do they think tht Jared is a Elektra clone? I dont understand.

Takashi: And who gave them the information?

Thrax; That's what I'd like to know

Takashi: Moh~! This is getting outta hand~!

Julius; I agree

Ricardo: We gotta find out abt this before they end up doing something to Jared

8everyone nods8

Takashi: We need to think bk a notch. Wen did Jared started becoming different?

Thrax; After he got back from the hospital

Takashi: *tapped his chin* Sa, Paul-chan said he met the father of the donor, right?

Thrax; 8looked at the others8

Ricardo: Yeah, I remember Jared said tht wen he came bk frm the hospital n Paul called to wish him well, why?

Takashi: *tapped his chin again* Ne, Thrax ottota-chan, can u call Paul-chan? I... *rubbed his neck nervously* I dont wanna end up getting Amber-san picking up the phone...

Thrax; 8called Paul's office8

Spryman: *answers the phone* Spryman's office

Thrax; Paul

Spryman: Ah, Pops! Wht's up? How's Jared doing? U didnt come to work today

Thrax; There's been a problem

Spryman: Wht sort?

Thrax; 8told him what happened8

Spryman: Oh no! Tht is bad! I'm gonna go right away n tell them off! They'll listen to me the mayor!

Thrax; Let's hope

Spryman: U were saying something abt the father of the donor. I think I still hv his contact number. U want it?

Thrax; Yes, I smell a rat

Spryman: Alright *looks for the number n read it out to him*

Thrax; 8took it down8

Spryman: Right. I'll go take care of tht problem with Amino. U go find out wht the heck is going on

Thrax; Right 8hangs up and dials the number8

*the number turned out to not be registered in any line n out of service*

Thrax; 8hissed and looked in the phone directory8

*there was no such name in the phone directory, as if he didnt exist*

Thrax; Fuck it, I knew

Takashi: Wht? Wht's wrong?

Thrax; This guy doesn't exist

Takashi: Na...Nani?!

Ricardo: He...he doesn't exist? Then...Then how...?

Thrax; 8threw his head back and roared8

*the kids cowered at his roar*

Thrax; They're going to be on the reciving end of my claw

Takashi: Kuso~! Who could this guy be?

Thrax; A relation of that she-demon probably

Ricardo: I thought the father was the only person left, n tht u killed him

Thrax; So I thought

Takashi: We gotta find out abt this person quick, ne, Julius oni-sama?

Julius; 8nods8

Jamie: Wht abt Uncle Drix?

Junko: He said he dealt with him

Jamie&Junko: So why not ask him?

Takashi: OK, now tht is just creepy, anata-tachi (the two of u)

Julius; 8chuckles8 It's common for twins

Ricardo: The twins r right. Drix had the closest dealings with him. U should ask him

Thrax; 8nods and calls his friend8

Drix: *was on guard duty wen the call came* Hello?

Thrax; Drix, Thrax we have a situation

Drix: Oh? Anything I can do to help?

Thrx; 8told him the problem8

Drix: Oh my, tht is disturbing. Well, I might get Spryman to let me off for a few hours. Wanna come ovr n follow me to find this guy?

Thrax; Do you really need an answer

Drix: Guess not. Meet me at roughly during lunch hour

Thrax; 8nods and hangs up8

Ricardo: Well, how did it go?

Thrax; We're going to find them

Takashi: Hai hai. Need our help or anything?

Thrax; Not at the minute

Ricardo: We'll look aftr the kids for u. U go do ur thing

Thrax; Thanks 8goes to get cleaned up8

Ricardo: *ushered the kids dwnstairs to hv their meal*

Julius; 8stretches his muscles8

Thrax; 8soon came down, clean and ready8

Ricardo: Wanna eat something before u go?

Thrax; No thanks Ricky

Ricardo: Alright. U take care now

Sakura; 8silently prayed for his safety8

*meanwhile, the day was almost close to ovr as the guys in Frank's Diner handled some last minute customers before packing*

Leah; I hate it when this happens

Ozzie: Aww, it's just a few customers. No worries abt tht

Miracle: Yeah, sides, it shows we're popular

Leah; Hmph 8disappears into the kitchen

Ozzie: *gave a few more orders to go to the last few n cleared the tables*

Leah; 8passed him the food8

*while Ozzie passed the food to the customers, suddenly a group of hormones hollered n charged at Ozzie, beating him up*

Alexis; 8charged out, he been wanting to hunt for a while8

Dieter: *leapt out of the kitchen window n joined the fight with Alexis*

Ozzie: *was taken by surprise tht he didnt hv time to brandish out his blades as he was beaten black n blue*

Alexis; 8ripped most of them apart8

Dieter: *fought as well, throwing them off miles away with his strength*

Miracle: *froze whoevr he could with his breath*

Leah; 8ran out and snapped a few necks8

*the hormones, seeing tht they r outnumbered by strength, quickly made a run for it*

Ozzie: *was unconscious, totally beaten black n blue*

Leah; 8scooped him up8

Sprite: *writes* Hey guys. Oz is OK. Just a little shakened up with a lot of black n blue, n maybe a twisted wrist n ankle n a small cracked rib, bt he'll live

Thrax; 8sighed in relief8

Thrax; Thank you 8he head to the area8

Ozzie: *is being treated by the nurses, having bandages wrapped ard his twisted wrist n ankle*

Miracle: Hey, Dad. U alright there?

Ozzie: All good. Dont worry

Alexis; That's a relief

Sakura; 8looked unsure8

Jared: *was already home, sitting quietly watching TV, holding a pack of ice against his face*

Ozzie: *saw it* Jared! Wht happened to u?

Jared: It's nothing, Mommy. Just a bruise. Not as bad as urs. Wht happened to YOU?

Alexis; Nothing good

Jared: *sighs* Guess its just not our day today

Thrax; 8nods8

Miracle: Well, guess it's time I showed off my cooking. U just rest, Dad. I'll fix dinner

Thrax; You sure/

Miracle: No big. I didnt live alone n work in Frank's Diner without learning a few tricks of the trade. U just take care of Dad, Pops, n let me do the work

Thrax; Alright

Miracle: *made his way to the kitchen n got started*

*Ozzie n Jared both talked abt their day, telling each other the cause for their injuries*

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Jared: Guess having a bad day is an understatement for both of us

Alexis; Bad luck you two

Ozzie: Totally *rolled his eyes n sighed*

Julius; 8sighed8

Jared: *decided not to tell the other "problem" he n Thrax had discussed*

Thrax; 8sighed8

Miracle: *finished cooking* Soup's on

8everyone headed for the kitchen8

Miracle: *sets up the table n the food*

Sakura; 8helps8

Miracle: I hope it's to ur liking. It's been a while since I actually cooked on my own like this

Alexis; 8took a bite then started wolfing it down8

Ozzie: *tasted it* It tastes rather good actually. U might just be cut out for kitchen duty as well

Leah; 8tastes it8 Mmmm. .ja

Miracle: *blushes*

8everyone tucked in8

Thrax; 8wasn't eating8

Ozzie: *noticed* Thrax? Love, ur not eating

Thrax; I'm not very hungry

Miracle: Is...Is it coz of my food? Not to ur liking?

Thrax; No it's great, I just don't feel hungry

Miracle: OK *bt doesnt look convinced*

Alexis; 8looked at his younger brother in worry8

Dieter: Iz zere somezing bother jou, Thrax mein bruder?

Thrax; 8sighed8

Ozzie: U can say it, u knw. We're all family here

Thrax; It's nothing. 8stands up and goes upstairs8

Jared: *had a feeling it had something to do with him bt kept quiet*

Alexis; 8bit his lip8

Ozzie: *excused himself n went to chk on Thrax*

Thrax; 8was laying in the master bedroom8

Ozzie: *came in n sat beside him* Baby? Wht's wrong?

Thrax; 8sighed8

Ozzie: Pls talk to me, love

Thrax; We've got a problem love

Ozzie: *blinked* W...Wht is it?

Thrax; Told about Jared8

Ozzie: *covered his mouth in shock* Oh no...Not again...Bt...Bt how...?

Thrax; I'm not sure but I'm gonna find out

Ozzie: *nodded, huddling against Thrax, suddenly feeling afraid*

Thrax; 8held him8

Ozzie: It feels like Frank all ovr again, Thrax. I cant take this anymore *starts to sob, feeling the fear he had been suppressing since he was attacked by the hormones coming out*

Thrax; 8held his mate close, comforting him8

Ozzie: *cries hard*

Thrax; 8nuzzled him8

Ozzie: Why do we always get the worst of things? Why us?

Thrax; I'm not sure baby

Ozzie: I swear, I must be a lightning rod for disaster

Thrax; He that would be my department

Ozzie: No, not u. It should be me. Everything goes wrong with me. My life is already a disaster before I met u

Thrax; 8stroked his hair8

Ozzie: *cuddles close to him*

Thrax; 8sighed8

*a knock on the door was heard*

Thrax; Yes/

Jared: *behind the door* Mommy...? Daddy...? Everything...OK...?

Thrax; Everything's fine Jared

Jared: *pause* Alright. Evryone's gone now, they ask me to send their regards. I've just put the kids to bed

Thrax; Thank you

*Jared's footsteps was heard leaving*

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Ozzie: *was worried too*

Thrax; We'll find a way through this, we always have

Ozzie: *nods* I knw. I trust we will

Thrax; 8kissed him gently8

Ozzie: *kissed him bk, holding him close*

Thrax; 8purred8

Ozzie: *looks at his bandaged wrist n ankle* I hope this will cure soon, especially the rib. Last time I broke a rib was way bk

Thrax; 8nods8 And it can be difficult as you get older

Ozzie: *pouts* I hate getting old. Makes me feel useless n decrepit

Thrax; You're only as young as you feel, trust me

Ozzie: *smiled* I guess *yawns* Wht a day~

Thrax; 8nods, laying back8

Ozzie: *laid bk too, falling asleep almost immediately*

Thrax; 8silently prayed for no surprises in the morning before drifting off8

*towards near the middle of the night, someone slowly crept into the room without alerting anyone. The figure went close to Oz n leaned close to him. It took out a large kitchen n was aiming it ard Oz's throat, ready to slit him*

Thrax; 8shot awake then pounced8

*the figure struggled with him, slashing him in the process*

Ozzie: *shot awake as well at the commotion, turning on the lights*

Thrax; 8gripped the attacker8

*the lights revealed it to be Jared*

Jared: Oow!! Oww!! Daddy, ur hurting me!! Wht r u doing?!

Thrax; 8drew back8

Ozzie: J...Jared...? Wh...Wht r u doing here?!

Jared: Wht do u mean wht I'm doing here? Wht are YOU doing here in my room attacking me?!

Thrax; Jared this is our room, what's gotten into you/

Jared: W....Wht...? It cant be! I... *sees the kitchen knife in his hands n was shocked, dropping it* Wh...Wht am I d...doing with tht??

Thrax; 8bit his lip hard8

Jared: Wh...Wht is wrong with me...?? *hugs his legs to his chest n cried*

Ozzie: *came to him n hugged him, hushing him n rocking him*

Thrax; 8started to pace8

Ozzie: Shh, shh, shh...It's OK, baby. It's OK

Jared: *wailed in his arms*

Thrax; This has to be a reason for this

Ozzie: Like wht? *hugging Jared close, rocking him as the boy slowly calmed dwn*

Thrax; He could have the same problem you did

Ozzie: Tht cant be. He'd have to get it frm somewhere, n we've already took out wht's left of it in me

Thrax; 8started to think8

Ozzie: *carries Jared* C'mon. Let's get u bk to bed, OK? *brought him out n bk to his room*

Thrax; 8fallowed8

Ozzie: *tucked the boy in, lulling him bk to sleep*

Thrax; 8watched from the door8

Ozzie: *once Jared fell bk to sleep, he left the room, taking Thrax's hand*

Thrax; 8massaged his gently8

Ozzie: Maybe we reli should take Jared to see a psychiatrist, or a doctor. See wht's wrong with him

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: I'll take him tomorrow. See wht they can find out

Thrax; Be careful baby

Ozzie: I will. Dont worry

Thrax; 8kissed him8

Ozzie: *kissed him bk n lay bk in bed, going bk to sleep*

Thrax; 8held him close and drifted off8

Ozzie: *wakes up in the morning to chk on the kids, knwing tht Thrax has gone off for his morning jog, n realized Rory was missing frm his crib*

Sakura; 8was looking round for her brother8

Ozzie: Wht the...? Where's Rory?

Sakura; I'm not sure.

Kiaran: Mama! Mama! Here!

Ozzie: *goes to see*

Sakura; 8fallows8

*there, dwnstairs, on the couch, was Jared, sleeping with Rory in his arms*

Sakura; 8looked at his mother in confusion8

Ozzie: Wht the dilly? *goes ovr to Jared n took Rory out of his arms, then shaking Jared awake* Baby? Jared, wake up

Jared: *stirs* Mmh...? Wha...?

Rory; 8started to awake8 Huh/

Jared: *rubs the sleep off his eyes* Mornin', Mommy.

Ozzie: Wht r u doing sleeping here? U'd catch a cold. N why is Rory with u?

Rory; 8looked round confused8

Jared: Wha...? I dunno...Wht am I doing here? I thought I was in bed...

Ozzie: *sighs, shaking his head* Up n at 'em then, baby. U got work today

Jared: *gets up n go upstairs to freshen up*

Ozzie: Time to make breakfast. Ur Papa is coming bk any minute *settles Rory dwn with his bros n sis n went to the kitchen*

Sakura; 8looked at Rory in confusion8

*all the sibs looked at each other weirdly*

Sakura; This is becoming too much

Kiaran: I knw. Wht's wrong with Jared nii-san? *copying Takashi's way of calling his brothers*

Ozzex: He's been acting weird since he came bk frm hospital

Rory; Nothing's been right since we came here

Jamie&Junko: U were born here, Rory. It's not the same with u

Rory; Maybe but our family's had it rough

Ozzex: Agreed. We hv to figure this out before Jared lose his sanity

Kiaran: *smells a familiar scent* A-ra! Papa is here

Thrax; 8soon came in, while his brow8

Kiaran: Papa~! *climbs up to him again via "mountain-climbing" his clothes*

Ozzie: Welcome home, love

Thrax; Hey baby 8kisses him8

*the kids all clambered at Thrax's feet*

Thrax; 8smiled at them8

Jamie&Junko: *smelled the sweat* Stinky~! *laughs*

Sakura; Knock it off you two, it's hard work

Ozzie: *chuckles* Alright, u kids. Breakfast is on. Go sit dwn. Ur Papa needs to shower *settles Hope on the high chair*

Thrax; 8heads upstairs to clean up8

Jared: *was standing in front of his mirror in his room, looking at himself as he dressed*

Thrax; 8looked in8 Jared/

Jared: *looks up* Hey, Daddy. Mornin'

Thrax; Are you ok/

Jared: Yeah. I'm good *did his hair, realizing it had gotten longer* Dang, I think I need a haircut

Thrax; 8cocked his brow8

Jared: *shrugs* Guess this will hv to do for now until I hv time to go to a barber *ties his hair up*

Ozzie: *is feeding the kids their breakfast*

Thrax; 8goes to clean8

Jared: *looked at himself for a while, smiled n went dwn for breakfast*

Thrax; 8soon joined everyone8

Ozzie: *smiled n prepared Thrax his breakfast*

Thrax; 8smiled back to his mate8

Jared: *ate slowly this time, not like his usual gobbling way*

Thrax; 8looked at him8

Jared: *noticed himself being watched* Wht is it, Daddy?

Thrax; Are you feeling ok Jared/

Jared: I'm fine. Why u ask?

Kiaran: Coz ur not eating ur usual fun way

Jared: *chuckled* Maybe I'm not reli tht hungry *hears the limo* Ride's here. C'mon, Daddy. Time for work

Thrax; 8finished up and fallowed him, kissing his mate and kids goodbye8

Ozzie: *watched them leave n cleaned up while waiting for Takashi n Ricardo to come for babysitting before leaving for work*

8the kids help8

*later, everyone came except Takashi*

Ozzie: Eh? *getting into his workclothes* Where's Taka?

Ricardo: Holed up in the room, dun wanna come out

8the kids exchanged looks8

Dieter: Ve tried to call him out, bt all he zay vas "Urusai" or somezing like zat. Ve hv no choice bt ask Julius mein brother to babysit

Sakura; Could he/

Ricardo: Dont worry. I'll do most of the work. Jules can just sit n watch ovr. Right, Jules?

Julius; I'm taking part, I never sit back

Ozzie: Alright bt dont push urself. U've just regained normal weight n all

Julius; 8nods8

Ozzie: Right. Cya then. Watch out for Taka, though. He's probably still dwn frm you-knw-wht

8the two nod8

Dieter: *took the wheel this time n waited for everyone to board before driving off*

Sakura; 8took to playing the piano8

*the kids started doing their own thing*

Takashi: *slept all the way till aftrnoon before getting up, finding his breakfast (or lunch) saved in the microwave. Reheating it, he decided to give Amber a call. He looked for the directory to the brain centre office thru Drix's phone records n dialed the number, calling Spryman's office*

Amber; Celluar Hall

Takashi: A...Anno...Moshi moshi? Can I speak to Amber-san, pls?

Amber; Speaking

Takashi: Ahh? A-A-Amber-san! Bo...Boku desu (Its' me), Takashi...

Amber; What do you want/

Takashi: *shrank bk a bit* T...To apologize...for last night...

Amber; I see

Takashi: I knw...ur not used to the way I handle things...I'm Japanese-decent, so my culture may be different than urs...And I knw I've warned u before tht I am quite outspoken, bt still...I'm sorry...

Amber; You trended on ground that wasn't suppose to be

Takashi: I knw...And...I knw I scared u last night at the park. Bt u gotta understand, I'm a virus. I'm at a disadvantage. I live my life having to worry tht someone might kill me. Its my natural instinct to defend myself...bt still, if I still scare u, I'm sorry abt tht too...

Amber; 8unknowenly folded his arms8

Takashi: K...Kuso (Dammit), u knw wht, ur at fault too in a way

Amber; Me/

Takashi: Yeah! U knw I'm different. U knw I'm a virus. U knw my cultural practice is different than u. So why didnt u try to understand me? Why did u just walk off like tht? N u could've at least call me n not sneak up me like tht, then I wouldn't hv scared u. U said u like me, bt why am I the only one apologizing n making the effort? Why did u evn like me in the first plc?! Bakayero (idiot)!! *slams the phone dwn n slumped to the ground*

Amber; 8stared at the phone then set it down8

Spryman: Oh, u've done it now, Ams

Amber; Shut Up. 8storms out8

Spryman: *raised a brow* Someone's woke up at the wrong side of the bed *continues his discussion with Jared*

Jared: *felt a little bad abt it n went aftr Amber*

Amber; 8headed down to a hidden bar8

Jared: *followed him n saw him enter, decided to brave it n enter via back door*

Amber; 8ordered a strong drink8

Jared: *quietly sat beside him n ordered a diet coke* U knw, ur not supposed to drink during working hours

Amber; Hmph

Jared: Dont worry. I wont tell. So...I gather first date was a disaster?

Amber; 8growled8

Jared: Ah. I get it. *sips his coke* Amber, u said to me tht u liked Uncle Taka. Wht was it u liked abt him?

Amber; I sensed something mysterious about him, now I know I was a fool

Jared: So u dont like him anymore? Is tht wht ur saying?

Amber; I'm not sure

Jared: See? Tht's ur problem. Ur always so indecisive. U let Paul bully u so much tht it is ingrained into u to just run away frm everything. I've heard frm Daddy. He said Uncle Taka was so upset last night for screwing up the date, n u dont evn make the effort to call him to tell him tht it's alright, like the whole thing is his fault. U should knw by now tht he is different. He's not just any cell in Hector u can just hook up with. He had been thru a lot, so much more than u can imagine. All he wants was a little happiness. His attitude is his way of protecting himself n u dont even try to understand him. U end up having Uncle Taka to call u to apologize n u dont wanna admit tht u r wrong as well. Relationship is abt give n take, n u sure r doing a lot of taking

Amber; 8slapped him across the face and left8

Jared: *held his throbbing cheek n shouted aftr him* Uncle Taka is right! Ur an idiot!! *nurses his cheek n left as well*

Amber; 8went home, locked the door and tore up the security card8

Jared: *nursing his cheek, he went bk to the office, bumping into Thrax*

Thrax; Jared/ 8sees the mark8 What happened to you/

Jared: *holding his cheek, looking away* Nothing

Thrax; 8sternly8 Jared

Jared: I...just got a little tussle with Amber, is all. No big *evn though it was starting to bruise*

Thrax; C'mon Jared, let's clean you up

Jared: *nods n followed beside Thrax*

Thrax; 8took him to an office to clean his sore cheek8

Jared: *winced whenever his father pressed the cold cloth onto his bruised up face*

Thrax; Easy Jared, just let it set

Jared: *takes a deep breath n does as he was told, then sighed sadly at wht had happened*

Thrax; Hey what's wrong/

Jared: *bit his lip, the slowly told him everything*

Thrax; 8sighed and shook his head8

Jared: Daddy...? Am I...right to tell him off like tht...or was it stupid?

Thrax; You had a right my boy, it's hard knowing who has the common sense out of the six of us.

Jared: *nods n looked dwn* For a minute I thought I probably had said something stupid to provoke him

Thrax; You didn't

Jared: *sighs* Wht am I gonna do now? I promised I'd match-make them bt...it turned out to be a disaster. Neither of them r happy

Thrax; 8holds his boy close8

Jared: I'm a total failure *buries his face in his father's chest*

Thrax; 8holds him close, stroking his hair8

Jared: *mutters quietly* Maybe it would've been better if they just put themselves out of their misery

Thrax; Jared.

Jared: Maybe I should just let them loose n let them take out each other. Wouldn't tht be fun *his eyes were blank bt a cruel smile creased past his lips*

Thrax; Jared 8gently shook him8

Jared: *blinked bk in reality* Huh? Wht? Wht is it, Daddy?

Thrax; What is wrong with you/

Jared: Wht r u talking abt? Ur scaring me, Daddy

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Jared: *looked bk at Thrax weirdly*

Thrax; Jared you've been acting strange lately

Jared: Have I? How so?

Thrax; 8told him8

Jared: W...Wha...? Bt...Bt I dont remember any of it. Not one thing. *hesitates* There's...something u should knw too. I told Amber n Paul not to tell u bt... *told him abt the incident where Spryman found him at the hormone concentration camp*

Thrax; 8hesitates8

Jared: I dunno why. Sometimes I get black outs n the days just pass by me so quickly. Sometimes I end up being in plcs I shouldnt be. Mommy found me sleeping in the living room with Rory in my arms this morning

Thrax; 8bit his lip and kept shaking his head8 Not again

Jared: A...Am I going crazy, Daddy? Is...Is there something wrong with me?

Thrax; This happened before though I pray I'm wrong

Jared: W...Wht happened before?

Thrax; Your mother experienced something similar.

Jared: W...Wha...Does...Does tht mean...I'm...?

Thrax; I just hope I'm wrong

Jared: *looks dwn, trembling in fear*

Thrax; 8held him close8

*later tht night, aftr work, when everyone was home, Jared approached Takashi*

Jared: Hey, Uncle Taka

Takashi: Hai, Jared-chan. Doushita?

Alexis; 8cocked an ear8

Jared: *handed him a ticket*

Takashi: Nani? *takes the ticket*

Jared: I got reservations for u. Dinner at a fancy restaurant at the colon area. All u can eat.

Takashi: Ho...Honto ka (really)??

Alexis; 8rolled his eyes8

Jared: Yup. Got u some nice clothes to wear too, since its a rather posh plc. Better be off. If ur late for the reservation time as stated in the ticket, someone will take ur seat

Takashi: Hai, hai! *sees the time* 7-ish. Hai! I'll go right up to change! *zooms off*

Antonio; What was that about/

Jared: *grins knowingly* Let's just say Stupid Cupid Project is in session

Takashi: *quickly changed n hauled a cab to go to the plc. When he reached there, he realized Jared was right: It was a posh place. Adjusting his tie n suit, he went in, presented the ticket n was led to a seat where Amber was already there*

Amber; 8was wearing a suit as he sat reading the menu8

Takashi: A-ra? *sees Amber bt has yet to knw who he is* Nanda? Did I get the wrong seat?

Amber; Depends, are you Takashi Yamazaki/

Takashi: Hai, boku wa Takashi Yamazaki (I am Takashi Yamazaki). Anata wa... (you are)?

Amber; Amber Le Fay

Takashi: Amber...Amber... *thinks bk* Ah!! Amber-san! Ur the one they told me who has a crush on me!

Amber; 8blushes8

Takashi: *sat dwn* Ah...Bijin ne (so handsome). Though ur a little less than I had expected

Amber; 8cleared his throat8

Takashi: Ah. Gomen ne. U'll hv to excuse me. I'm a bit outspoken sometimes

Amber; 8nods8

Takashi: *browsed thru the menu* Sa...If u dont mind me asking...Wht did u see in me?

Amber; 8looked up8 There's something mysterious about you

Takashi: A-ra? B...Boku (me)? Wht's so mysterious abt me? Everyone says I'm an open book

Amber; I sense there's more to you

Takashi: Uh-huh. Right. *not reli convinced as he scanned thru the menu, deciding on his order*

Amber; 8looked to choose his8

Takashi: *while waiting for his order, looked at Amber a little. He was handsome in a way, with slightly wild-looking hair n small eyes. Frm first glance, ppl would think he was an average brain cell, bt if they were to look closer, he had a sort of gentle, suave feel to him*

Amber; 8exaimed Taka, despite being a virus he could sense a strong spirit in him and a noble heart8

Takashi: I assure u, no matter how much u look at me, this is everything u'll get. Like I said, open book *their order came in* Ooh~! Meshi (food)~!

Amber; You seem to be fond of your food. 8thank the waiter as his was set down8

Takashi: He he, cant help it. Being a virus means u dont get to hv decent food while ur in hiding n can only rely on trash food. *quickly tucked in*

Amber; 8looked at him in surprise8

Takashi: *noticed Amber's expression* Daijobu, daijobu. It's no big deal. Been doing this for almost all my life with my aneki-tachi (brothers). I'm used to it. Though now I cant say no to decent food *smiles*

Amber; 8ate slowly8

Takashi: *ate his, sipped on the wine tht went with the food* So...how long hv u been with n under Paul-san?

Amber; I've been working with him since he came to office but I've known him his whole life

Takashi: Oh? U his guardian or something?

Amber; 8nods8 He was left in my care after his parents died

Takashi: Ah, so-ka. No offence bt he's kinda bratty for a gaki (kid)

Amber; 8sighed8

Takashi: Ah, g-gomenasai *looks dwn apologetically*

Amber; 8slowly picked at his food8

Takashi: Sorry...I didnt mean to... *mentally cursed himself for being a moron*

Amber; It's. . . it's ok

Takashi: No its not. I insulted Paul-san, n Paul-san is family to u. Meaning I insulted family *got off his seat n went on his knees, bowing to the ground the Japanese way to apologize at Amber's feet* Gomenasai

Amber; 8started to blush, embaressed8

*everyone in the restaurant was looking, surprised at wht Takashi was doing*

Amber; 8went redder8

Takashi: *has not move frm his spot. In Japanese tradition, unless the person forgave u, u r usually not allowed to get up*

Amber; 8got up, setting money on the table and hurried out8

Takashi: *looked up to see Amber running away n paid his share, chasing aftr him* Amber-san! Amber-san, where r u going? Amber-san!

Amber; 8thought8 How could I be so stupid

Takashi: *caught up with him* Amber-san! I...I'm sorry I embarassed u just now. I didnt mean to...It's just tht u were so upset and...

Amber; 8didn't dare look at him8

Takashi: *sighs* I knw I screwed up big time. Wakata (I knw)...If u hate me, I understand...I'll go *turns ard, prepares to leave*

Amber; 8felt his stomach knot8

Takashi: *slowly walks away, biting his lip, trying to hold bk his tears tht he hadnt cried in a long, LONG time. It only happens wen he knws he screwed up something big*

Amber; 8sighed8

Takashi: *walks at a nearby park to clear his head a little, trying to will his tears away so tht no one will find out once he goes home*

Amber; 8looked round for the virus8

Takashi: *was standin by the pond, looking at the fishes swimming in it, then reaches dwn to get a handleful of water n splash it at his face, camouflaging his tears*

Amber; 8searched until he found him8

Takashi: *once his face was wet, he let his own tears flow freely, crying n cursing himself in Japanese*

Amber; 8watched him8

Takashi: *still cursing himself in Japanese, burying his face in his hands, sobbing*

Amber; 8slowly walked up8

Takashi: *doesnt hear him as he was busy crying*

Amber; 8reached out slowly8

Takashi: *felt the touch n spun round, the spikes on his arms sticking out in defence mode*

Amber; 8backed away8

Takashi: *released it was Amber in shrank his spikes bk* Ah! A...Amber-san! I didnt...I... *bit his lip, his tears poured evn more* *thinks* Kuso (damn it) I screwed up again!

Amber; 8trembled8

Takashi: Chikusho (Fuck)! Baka, baka, baka (stupid, stupid, stupid)~!! *cursed himself as he made a run for it all the way bk home*

Antonio; Hey Taka, what's wrong/

Takashi: Urusai (shut up)!! *made run to his room n slammed the door*

Antonio; 8gave a worried look8

Ricardo: *made a gesture to either Antonio, Thrax or Julius to go talk to him*

Thrax; 8got up and went upstairs8

Takashi: *hid under the covers, hugging the pillow, burying his face in it, sobbing hard*

Thrax; Taka/

Takashi: Go away! Leave me alone!

Thrax; Taka please

Takashi: *continues to sob, bt didnt make him go away*

Thrax; 8clenched his fist8

Takashi: *sobbed for a while, still under the covers* Wht do u want?

Thrax; What happened Taka/

Takashi: *hesitated for a while before telling him btwn sobs everything*

Thrax; 8sat on the bed8

Takashi: *finished his tale, then cursed himself in Japanese*

Thrax; 8sighed8 Taka you need to talk to him

Takashi: I tried to! Bt u should've seen the look on his face! He was scared of me! Kowai ne (I'm scary)! He'll nvr talk to me now!

Thrax; He was scared, he just wasn't expecting that reaction8#

Takashi: I showed my spikes at him! I could've killed him! Baka, baka, baka~!! *buries his face some more n sobbed*

Thrax; 8rubbed his back8

Takashi: He hates me now, I knw it. He hates me. I'll nvr evr date again...

Thrax; Taka calm down

Takashi: How can I? Julius oni-sama is right: I'm just a gaki (kid) who'll nvr mature

Thrax; Easy Taka

Takashi: *pouts, bt seemed to hv calmed dwn frm his crying*

Thrax; 8patted his shoulder8

Takashi: W...Wht should I do...?

Thrax; Talk to him

Takashi: Wht if he doesnt wanna talk with me?

Thrax; Ya won't know unless you try

Takashi: ...Wakata (I understand). I'll...try talking to him tomorrow...I'm...tired *which he is, aftr all the crying*

Thrax Get some rest brother

Takashi: Hai... *finally came out of his covers n lay dwn properly in bed, falling asleep almost immediately*

Thrax; Quietly left the room

Ricardo: *sees Thrax coming dwn* How's it hanging?

Thrax; He's asleep now

Ricardo: Wht happened?

Thrax; 8told them8

Ricardo: Mamamiya. Tht is reli a date gone wrong

Thrax; 8nods8

Ricardo: *sighs* Matchmaking reli isnt easy, I suppose. Poor Jared. If he knws, he'll feel guilty too

Thrax; I agree

Ricardo: Hearing frm wht u said, I think probably both r at fault. I mean, Taka shouldnt hv said the things he said, bt Amber shouldnt hv just walked out, leaving Taka kneeling like tht for everyone to see. Its his tradition aftr all

Thrax; Sometimes it's hard inderstanding some cultures

Ricardo: True, tho I would've expect Amber to make an effort, since he was the one who liked Taka first

Thrax; True

Ricardo: Let's just hope everything will turn out alright

Thrax; So do I

*soon everyone turned in to bed as it was getting late*

Thrax; 8kissed his mate's neck8

Ozzie: Mmh *leans ovr to kiss him* I heard Jared just played Cupid. So how did it go for Taka?

Thrax; Eh. . .

Ozzie: *figured it out* Ah. Not so good, huh?

Thrax; 'Fraid so

Ozzie: Poor Taka. Poor Jared too. He was so happy wen he told me abt his plan to matchmake them

Thrax; 8sighed8

Ozzie: I hope tomorrow will be better

Thrax; As do I

Ozzie: *kisses Thrax before climbing up to bed*

Thrax; 8lay beside him8

Ozzie: *yawns* So tired today. We got full house all day, not only frm the trainees, bt also outside customers

Thrax; Business is booming then

Ozzie: Yeah. Speaking of booming *told Thrax abt the Sleeping Sickness germ n wht he heard frm the guys abt him n his crush for Dieter*

Thrax; Oh boy

Ozzie: *grins* I find it interesting. It almost sounds like a triangle relationship going on

Thrax; 8massaged his forehead8

Ozzie: We'll just hv to see how things r unfold

Thrax; 8nods kissing him again8

Ozzie: *kisses him bk* I love u

Thrax; Love you to baby

Ozzie: *cuddles against him n fell asleep*

Thrax; 8soon drifted off8

*later in the middle of the night, someone approached the concentration camp of the hormones, shrouded in darkness n came up to a group of he-hormones drinking at an alley*

He-H: 8cunged down an adrenilin drink8

Stranger: *remains in the darkness* I see we're having fun here

He-H: What da ya want/

Stranger: Just a little something. I'll make it worth ur while *tosses them a pouch of money*

He-H2: *picks up the pouch n sees the money, then see the built of the stranger n recognize him* Hey, aint ya the...

Stranger: Shut it. U'll spoil the surprise

He-H; Wat ya want done/

Stranger: Eliminate this person *gave them the picture* At all cost

He-H2: *sees the picture n pockets it* How're u gonna spring us outta here? If u havent notice, we cant get out till nxt year

Stranger: Dont worry. Everything is arranged. Just get the job done *disappeared into the shadows*

8the group looked at the photo8

*the picture was Osmosis Jones*

Episode 3

Thrax; 8got up before dawn for his morning rountine8

Ozzie: *curled in the blankets, snoring*

*Hecro n the bros joined him*

Thrax; 8smiled at them8

Hecro: Mornin'!

Takashi: Ohayo~!

Julius; Good morning Thrax

Hecro: Early bird as always, arent we?

Thrax; 8chuckles8

Takashi: Ozzie-chan wa (where's Ozzie)?

Thrax; Still asleep

Hecro: *grins* Maybe he should try jogging with us as well for a change

Thrax; You can try

Hecro: *rolls his eyes* Right. Try waking up someone who's not a morning person

Takashi: *giggled*

Antonio; 8sniggers8

Hecro: *sees Dieter was not part of the jogging team* I see Di is still a little sore abt u guys not approving his love for Maria

Alexis; Let em sulk

Hecro: Why dont u approve? I mean, isnt it a good thing? He wont obsess ovr Jules anymore

Alexis; It's who he's attracted to

Hecro: And wht's wrong with tht?

Alexis; Have you forgotten how she treated her own brother

Hecro: Yeah, I knw tht, bt dont u think its abt time they kiss n make up? She's still his sister aftr all. Who knws, they might patch up n get ovr the misunderstanding

Alexis; Tell that to her.

Takashi: Naa, Hecro to-chan. It's not because we dont agree with Dieter oni-chan liking Maria-san. It's just tht it wouldnt be tht easy given the circumstances. Sa, if Dieter oni-chan liked someone else we'd understand, bt Maria-san brought too much pain for Ricky-chan. It's not tht easy for Ricky-chan or Maria-san to just let it go

Hecro: *sighs* I guess ur right on tht. Bt there's gotta be someone Di might like tht u guys ACTUALLY approve

Antonio; Easier said than done

Takashi: *lit up* A-ra? I think there is someone who might be nice for Dieter oni-chan

8they all looked at him8

Takashi: *blinked* Nanda (What)?

ALEXIS; wHO/

Takashi: *grins* Wouldnt u like to knw?

Alexis; 8snarled8

Hecro: Taka~!

Takashi: *grins wildly n mischievously* Sa, u hv to treat me for lunch at Frank's Diner today, then I'll point it out to u, ne?

Alexis; 8rolled his eyes8

Takashi: *grins happily as he took it as a yes*

*they soon jogged home*

Thrax; 8stretched his body8

Hecro: *peeks to make sure Oz was not in his nude apron again, sighed in relief n went in*

Thrax; 8cocked a brow8

Hecro: *grins* Just making sure we dont get any "surprises" frm Oz, if u knw wht I mean

Thrax; 8rolled his eyes8

Ozzie: *comes dwnstairs with the kids* Did someone say my name?

Hecro: Hey bro! Mornin'!

Thrax; Mornin' Oz 8kisses him8

Ozzie: *kisses him bk n puts the kids dwn* I'm gonna fix breakfast asap. In the meantime *pushed Thrax gently upstairs* U need to shower

Hecro: I'm just gonna hv some juice to go. Chris's is gonna wake up any moment n he'll need breakfast, n Shane as well

Ozzie: Help urself. There's half a carton left in the fridge

Thrax; 8went upstairs8

Hecro: *took the carton of juice n waved goodbye* Cya round! *left*

Ozzie: *waved goodbye n started making breakfast*

Thrax; 8soon came down, clean and dressed8

Ozzie: *laid out the breakfast n nuzzled Thrax* Mmm...Much better

Thrax; 8purred8

Ozzie: Breakfast's on. Oh, n I made some lunch for Paul. He's gotta hv homemade food once in a while

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: * helped the kids on the chairs n Hope on her high chair before packing the lunch for Spryman*

8the kids tucked in8

Ozzie: *packed the lunch n passed it to Thrax* Arent u having breakfast, love?

Thrax; I'm not very hungry this morning8

Ozzie: Oh, OK then. Well, at least hv some coffee

Thrax; 8nods and pours a mug8

Ozzie: *cleans up some of the mess the kids made on themselves n helped to feed Hope*

Hope; 8ate happily8

*the limo outside honked, telling tht the ride is here*

Thrax; 8kissed his family goodbye then left8

Ozzie: *watched them as they leave n waited for Ricardo n Takashi to come ovr for the babysitting before leaving with the rest to go for business*

Leah; 8joined him8

Ozzie: *took the wheel this time n drove to their spot as they were still under the 3 mth contract*

Leah; 8set evrything up8

*everyone prepared the stuff n waited for the young trainees hv their breakfast*

Leah; 8disappeared into the kitchen7

*soon the trainees came ovr to hv their breakfast, one of them being a young adult germ, possibly of the Sleeping Sickness breed*

Miracle: *noticed n whispered to the guys* Woah. A germ in for training as well. Didnt think they'd accept anyone other than cells

Leah; 8narrowed her eyes8

Dieter: *catches sight of him bt didnt think too much abt it*

Ozzie: Hmm, must be a open-minded company. Alright, soup's on. Get to work, guys

8everyone went to work8

*business went fine as usual, n soon, during lunchtime, Takashi n Ricardo showed up with the kids*

Takashi: Konichiwa, minna-san (good afternoon, everyone)~!

Leah; Hey guys

Kids: *came to hug Ozzie* Mama~!

Ozzie: *chuckles* Hey there, my babies. Were u good to Uncle Taka n Uncle Ricky?

8they all smile8

Takashi: *found a seat n sat, then looked ard among the trainees*

8the kids looked round8

Takashi: *grins as he spots him, then gestures Antonio* Sa, Antonio onii. Remember wen I said I saw someone who might be into Dieter oni-chan?

Antonio; 8nods8

Takashi: Hora *gestures at the Sleeping Sickness germ who was seated at the far corner, stealing glances at Dieter*

Antonio; 8cocked a brow8

Takashi: Suge desho (Cool, isn't it)? He's bijin (handsome) n he seems to like Dieter oni-chan by the way he looks at him

Antonio; 8sniggers8

Takashi: *grins* Sa, hayaku (hurry up). Approach him n ask him abt his background, or better yet, let Mirakuru-chan do it

Antonio; 8looked at him8

Miracle: *just came ovr to ask Takashi's order wen he heard Takashi mentioned him* Eh? Wht abt me?

Antonio; 8gulped8

Takashi: Ne~! Mirakuru-chan~! Can u do ur oji-san (uncle) a favour?

Miracle: Besides taking ur order? Sure

Takashi: *gestures Miracle to lean dwn n whispers to his ear*

Antonio; 8twitched nervously8

Miracle: *grins aftr hearing everything* Alright. U got it! *pats Antonio's shoulder* U take Uncle Taka n Uncle Ricky's order then *skates off towards the Sleeping Sickness germ direction*

Ricardo: *watches all this with interest*

Antonio; 8gets the orders8

Miracle: *approaches the Sleeping Sickness germ* Hey there, enjoying ur food?

SS; 8looked up8

Miracle: Hi, the name's Miracle. At ur service. U r...?

SS: Vincent Malloy

Miracle: So how r u enjoying ur food there, Mr. Malloy?

Vince; It's delicous, my complaments to the Chef

Miracle: *smiles, lowers his voice* I see tht u hv caught fancy of one of the Chefs there *jerks his head at Dieter's direction*

Vince; 8looked over8

Dieter: *was sending ovr an order to Ozzie, wiping a bit of sweat off his brow*

Vince; 8blushes like a schoolgirl8

Miracle: *grins* Wanna get to knw him?

Vince; 8went redder8

Miracle: I take tht as a yes then

Vincent; 8looked up8

Miracle: His name is Dieter. Dieter Claget. My adopted uncle. I'm sure u'll do fine with him

Vince; 8tilted his head8

Miracle: So, how is it tht u being a germ is able to land a job here in this big conglomerate as a trainee?

Vince; What/

Miracle: U knw, its a no-brainer tht u r a Sleeping Sickness germ, bt usually they dont get decent jobs, so how did u land urs?

Vince; 8sighed8 Not the best way

Miracle: Meaning?

Vince; Force

Miracle: *surprised* Oh? How so?

Vince; 8sighed8 I come from a high class family and they expect the best

Miracle: Interesting. Usually germs get the low-life. This is the first time I heard of a germ in a high class family

Vince; Hmph

Miracle: Well, I'll be sure to help u out with Uncle Di. U enjoy ur meal now. Training program is almost starting *skates away*

Ricardo: *bottle-fed his twins with Hecro's milk before eating his lunch*

8the twins cooed8

Takashi: *gave the kids their share before digging in*

8the kids happily ate7

Miracle: *skated ovr to give another order* Yo, Uncle Di! Guess wht?

Dieter: Vat?

Antonio; 8twitched an ear8

Miracle: U've got an admirer *gestured discreetly at Vincent*

Dieter: *looked at tht direction*

Vince; 8quickly turned away8

Dieter: *raised a brow* Isnt zat a...

Miracle: Yup, Sleeping Sickness germ. Reli rare eh? N he's frm a high class family, so I've heard

Antonio; That's new

Miracle: Yeah. Usually germs dont get the high life unless they earn it through means like mine.

Dieter: *looks at Vincent, bt didnt reli feel anything* So, he's interested in me, u zay?

Alexis; Duh. . .

Dieter: Hm. *looks at Vincent again n shrugs, doesnt seem interested*

Miracle: Doesnt he strike ur fancy? He's pretty good looking n all, n he likes u

Dieter: Ja, dozn't mean I vill. Jou forgetting I hv mein love as vell?

Alexis; Oh brother

Miracle: Uncle Di, u knw how the guys feel abt u dating Officer Amino

Dieter: Zen its zier problem *shoved an order into Miracle's arms*

Leah; 8cursed and shouted at him in German8

Dieter: *shouted bk at her in German n went bk to work*

Miracle: *rolled his eyes n went to bring the order ovr*

Antonio; 8sweatdrops8

Takashi: *finished his food n burped a little* Oops, gomenasai *wiped his mouth*

Ricardo: Tht's a great lunch as always

8the kids nodded8

Takashi: Sa, ikimasho (Let's go)

Ricardo: Arent we supposed to pay?

Takashi: Daijobu, Ricky-chan. It's on them today as a favour for me. Sa, iku, iku (c'mon, c'mon) *ushered them, waving goodbye to the guys*

Leah; Hey get back here.

Miracle: S'ok. Alexis said we're treating them in favour for showing who's Uncle Di's admirer

Leah; 8growled8

Ozzie: *heard n saw everything tht was going on n stole a look at Vincent, regarding him a little*

Vince; 8seemed down in the dumps8

Ozzie: *came up to him* U OK, sir? Is the food not good enough?

Vince; Oh no it's delicious#

Ozzie: Then wht seems to be the problem, sir?

Vince; Nothing

Ozzie: Sure u dont wanna talk abt it?

Alexis; No 8mutters8 Not this time

Ozzie: *raised a brow*

Alexis; 8quickly left8

*meanwhile Jared n Amber were sorting through the files n schedules for Spryman*

Amber; 8looked at a few8

Jared: *looked at a few as well* By the way, Ams. U still interested in my Uncle Taka?

Amber; 8blushes8

Jared: Coz I just arranged a nice plc for u guys to hv dinner

Amber; What/

Jared: *grins at him* U heard me

Amber; 8went redder8

Jared: It'll be a surprise for Uncle Taka though. He doesnt knw yet

Amber; 8nods8

Jared: Its at the Italian restaurant near the colon area. I've booked for 2 at 7-ish. Dont be late

Amber 8nods8

Jared: *grinned again n went bk to his files*

Amber; 8returned to his8

*aftr abt an hour, Jared had suddenly disappeared frm sight, barely evn making a sound*

8the others didn't notice8

*it was later when Drix was looking for Jared to file in on something tht he realize he was gone*

Drix: Hey? Where's Jared?

Amber; 8looked round8

Spryman: *looks ard as well* Come to think of it, havent seen him in abt a while

Amber; Where is he/

Spryman: I thought he was with u chking the schedules

Amber; He was

Drix: Let's go find him

Spryman: Yeah, let's

Amber; 8nods8

*the trio set out to find him abt the area, until finally Spryman finds him standing in front of the barrier gates tht separates the hormone clan cell barracks with the rest of the brain centre*

Amber; Oh boy

Spryman: *rushes to him* Yo, bro! Wht r u doing there? U want them to eat ur heart out again? C'mon! *takes his hand*

Jared: *didnt respond, his eyes a blank*

Amber; Jared/

Spryman: Yo, bro! Bro! *shakes him*

Jared: *blinks n snaps to reality* Huh? Wht?

Amber; What is wrong with you/

Jared: Wha...? *looks ard* Wht am I doing here? I thought I was supposed to go get the extra files frm the storage dept

Spryman: U gone all the way to the hormone clan concentration camps, u moron. C'mon *takes his hand* Let's get outta here

Amber; 8quickly walked off8

Jared: *followed their lead, puzzled as to why he was there*

Amber; 8wanted to be far away from the camp8

*they finally were bk in the office before heaving a sigh of relief*

Spryman: Phew! Tht was close! Wht in the name of Hector were u doing there, bro?

Jared: I dunno! I was on my way to the storage dept to get the files n they told me to wait n then...I dont remember...

Amber; 8scratched his head8

Spryman: Well, tht was some serious spaced out trip u had there, going all the way to the plc tht almost got urself killed

Amber; We sort report this to has parents

Jared: O_O Wht? No! Dont! It's nothing! Reli! Pls! Dont tell them

Spryman: C'mon, this is serious. U were standing in front of the plc tht had ur heart ripped out!

Jared: No! I said no! Dont tell them! End of story! Got it??

Amber; Jared it could happen again

Jared: No! Mommy n Daddy hv enough to worry in their minds. The last thing they need is my problem, so let me handle this myself, OK? Tht's final!

Spryman: *wanted to say something bt saw tht Jared was not to be swayed, so he kept quiet* Fine, hv it ur way, bro

Amber; 8sighed8

Jared: Good *turns to help Drix with the filing he requested*

Amber; 8returned to work8

Episode 2

*they all hitched a ride home via the trailer van, looking rather thoughtful*

Thrax; 8was giving the choice alot of thought8

*soon they reached home, n once they were in the living room, Ozzie approached him*

Ozzie: Love? Wht's wrong? U've been rather quiet all the way home

Thrax; Just thinking

Ozzie: Abt wht, love? Care to share with me?

Thrax; About Paul's offer.

Ozzie: Offer? Wht did Paul offer u?

Thrax; Well that's what I want to discuss with you and my bros.

Takashi: *overheard him* A-ra? Nani, Thrax ottota-chan? Paul-chan said something interesting?

Thrax; Get the others and Hecro

Takashi: Hai~ *brought the others n Hecro as requested*

Thrax; 8told them about the offer, which Hecro already knew8

Hecro: *nodded, adding the bits n pieces tht Thrax left out*

Ozzie: Oh my, I didnt think Paul would actually feel tht way...

Julius; 8nodded8

Takashi: Heh~! Subarashii ne (that's great)~! His house oki desho (huge)! Why shouldnt we accept the offer?

Dieter: I must admit, ve r living kind of cramped ard here, n ze chiddlers need zier space vonce zey r older

Antonio; I don't know, we survied worse rember.

Ozzie: Yes, bt then think of Paul. Him all alone in tht big house. Amber maybe his guardian bt he's not officially tht much of a family to him. He doesnt evn live with him. N he needs a parental love

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Hecro: 'Sides, look at the bright side, it'll probably be easier on our pockets. We could always share the expenses, bt still get our own stuff

Antonio; Sounds possible.

Ozzie: N also by the sound of it, Paul reli is lonely, n I dont mind filling tht gap for him

Thrax; 8nods8

Hecro: So? Wht's the verdict then?

Thrax; 8looked at his mate8

Ozzie: *shrugs* Paul needs us. Wht else hv we to lose?

Takashi: Ja, we're moving into Paul-chan's home then? *his eyes twinkling in excitement*

Julius; Just hope there's enough room

Takashi: Paul-chan's house is so big. I'm sure there is

Dieter: Zen vone of jou hv to call Paul to tell jour decizion

Thrax; 8nods and went to the phone8

Spryman: *was still at the office doing a little overtime when the phone rang* Hello, Spryman speaking

Thrax; Paul

Spryman: Pops! Hey, wassup?

Thrax; It's about your offer.

Spryman: *sat up eagerly* Y...Yeah? Well, wht abt it?

Thrax; We'll be taking it.

Spryman: *cheered out loud before regaining composure, clearing his throat* Ahem...So shall I get the movers for u ASAP?

Thrax; A bit too soon don't ya think/

Spryman: Aww...bt I wanna hv u guys at my plc... *pouts*

Thrax; We still need to get ready

Spryman: OK. Just lemme knw if ur ready then

Thrax; Alright, 8hangs up8

Ozzie: *looks ovr* Well? How is it, love?

Thrax; He's excited.

Ozzie: *chuckles* I dont blame him

Hecro: So should we start getting ready?

Thrax; It'll take a while.

Dieter: Agreed. Ve'll hv to get ztarted

8everyone nodded8

Hecro: We'll get started first thing on the weekend morning. *yawns* I'm beat

Julius; 8nods8 We should all turn in.

Ozzie: Yup *picks up the kids* Bed time, kiddies

Thrax; 8helps him8

Ozzie: *changed their diapers n jammies before tucking them all to bed, lulling them to sleep*

Thrax; 8stroked their hair/dreads8

*the kids slowly fell asleep*

Ozzie: *smiled n kissed them goodnight, then said goodnight to everyone before retiring to the room*

Thrax; 8bid goodnight as well and fallowed him8

Ozzie: *in front of the mirror, was preparing to change to his jammies wen he stared at the dials on his hips*

Thrax; 8looked up8

Ozzie: *sighed as he fingered the dials*

Thrax; Careful ozzy.

Ozzie: I knw. It just look...so weird

Thrax; You were the one who went with it

Ozzie: *glared at him for a second before putting on his jammies with a huff*

Thrax; 8slipped off his clothes8

Ozzie: *sees him bt pretended to ignore him, a little annoyed at Thrax just knw for accusing him of the dials as he lay on the bed, bk facing him*

Thrax; 8slid in beside him8

Ozzie: *pouts, not turning to face him*

Thrax; 8sighs and curls under the blankets8

Ozzie: *bit his lip, trying to hold bk his tears, both of guilt n of sadness bcoz he thought Thrax was angry with him as well n wont apologize*

Thrax; 8slowly drifted off8

Ozzie: *sobs quietly*

Thrax; 8sighed in his sleep8

Ozzie: *suddenly sat up aftr hearing the same sound frm the nursery as tht night n went there*

Thrax; 8looked up8

Ozzie: *looked into the crib n saw tht it was Rory gone this time, n he saw Jared's door slightly open, wen he went in, again, he saw Rory in Jared's arms*

Thrax; 8got up and went to take a look8

Jared: *sleeping, holding Rory close to his chest*

Ozzie: Wht the dilly...?

Thrax; Again/

Ozzie: Odd *scratches his head, confused as he picked Rory out of Jared's arm before putting him bk into his crib*

Thrax; 8had a confused look8

Ozzie: *tucked Rory in, went bk to Jared to tuck him in before hugging Thrax* Are u mad at me?

Thrax; 8wrapped his arms round him8 No baby

Ozzie: I knw I was the one who went with the surgery, u said it urself. I...I knw ur still mad at me abt tht...

Thrax; 8nuzzled him8

Ozzie: *tears trickled dwn his cheeks*

Thrax; 8stroked his cheek8

Ozzie: Maybe I should just get rid of it. Tear it out of me n get it ovr with *reaches for the dials*

Thrax; Ozzy you'll kill yourself

Ozzie: *clenches his fists tight till they were shaking, more tears flowed out of his eyes* Why cant I do anything right? Why cant I make u happy...??

Thrax; 8held him8

Ozzie: *sobs in Thrax's chest*

Thrax; 8stroked his hair8

Ozzie: I'm sorry...I'm so sorry I'm not the perfect wife...

Thrax; Nobody's perfect and I love you for who you are.

Ozzie: I love u too...I love u n so much more... Say u'll be with me forever

Thrax; Until the end of time

Ozzie: *leans up for a kiss*

Thrax; 8kissed him gently8

Ozzie: *wraps his arms ard his neck, kissing him deeper*

Thrax; 8purred8

Ozzie: *led him bk to the bedroom*

Thrax; 8hesitated8

Ozzie: *looks up to him* Wht's wrong, love?

Thrax; 8looks at the dials8

Ozzie: *chuckles* Don't worry. I'm not gonna do it. Unless...u want to

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: *smiles n led him to the bedroom, slowly kissing him as he removed the virus' clothes, gently slipping the condom on Thrax, pumping him*

Thrax; 8slowly removed ozzy's8

Ozzie: *trailed his tongue along Thrax's neck, running dwn to the chest*

Thrax; 8pants8

Ozzie: *whispers in his ear* Take me. Pound me into the bed

Thrax; 8pounced on him8

Ozzie: *spreads his legs to give Thrax access*

Thrax; 8licked round ozzy's area8

Ozzie: *whined in pleasure at the feeling of Thrax's tongue*

Thrax; 8traced the opening

Ozzie: *gasped out* Th...Thrax...? *shocked at Thrax's sudden move coz he usually nvr does this*

Thrax; 8didn't hear him as he continued8

Ozzie: *whined n moaned in ecstasy, feeling the tongue all ovr his hole*

Thrax; 8moaned8

Ozzie: *whines* P...Pls...I...I want u...D-Dont tease me anymore...

Thrax; 8leaned over him8

Ozzie: *brings him close, guiding the virus' cock into his hole*

Thrax; 8slid inside8

Ozzie: *gasped as he was being filled*

Thrax; 8pants8

Ozzie: Yes, yes, move inside me. Make me scream for u, baby

Thrax; 8thrusted deep8

Ozzie: *let his voice loose, feeling tht spot being hit*

Thrax; 8hissed8

Ozzie: *gasped breathlessly* H-Harder...D-Deeper...I-I'm gonna come...

Thrax; 8became harder and picked up speed8

Ozzie: *his voice grew higher n higher until he screamed his orgasm all ovr the both of them*

Thrax; 8roared as he relised8

Ozzie: *trembles frm the orgasm before he collapsed, passed out frm the sheer pleasure*

Thrax; 8curled up beside him8

Ozzie: *snored slightly, snuggling close to him*

Thrax; 8held him8

Spryman: *stretched his limbs in relief* Ah~! Finally all those troublesome hormones gone~!

Jared: *laughs* U said it, Paul

Amber; 8brought them in some soda8

Jared: Thanks, Ams *takes the soda*

Spryman: Thanks, Amber *takes it too*

Amber; 8nods8

Jared: Although Daddy is still on his toes. He still thinks tht evn with the hormones gone, there's still danger

Amber; He maybe right

Spryman: Well, Pops hv been right a few good times, so I think we should be careful, just in case

Amber; 8nods8

Jared: Speaking of Daddy, where is he?

Amber; Out patroling if I know him

Spryman: *chuckles* Alwaays the hard worker

Amber; Indeed

Jared: Probably Uncle Hecro or Uncle Drix is with him too

Amber; 8nods slowly8

*meanwhile Heco was with Thrax, patrolling*

Thrax; 8kept his ears pricked8

Hecro: Relax, Thrax. There wont be a problem. All the hormones r sealed till nxt yr

Thrax; 8didn't look sure8

Hecro: *looks at the time* Ah, almost lunch time. Wanna drop by Frank's Diner?

Thrax; Sounds good

Hecro: Let's go *heads off to Frank's Diner, which was just nearby where they were patrolling*

*somehow Frank's Diner wasnt at their usual spot*

Thrax; They must have moved.

Hecro: *facepalms* Oh spit! I forgot! They were supposed to go with tht 3 mth long contract with the big business guy to cater for his trainees during their 3 mth training program!

Thrax; 8rolled his eyes8

Hecro: I think I knw where it is. C'mon. Let's chk it out

Thrax; 8fallowed8

*the duo hauled a cab n drove dwn near the Heart District, where they can see young adult cells in uniforms sitting at the diner eating*

Thrax; Looks like they're doing well

Hecro: Yup. Totally. Hey, I see Chris there too! *waves at the lot* Hey guys!

Miracle: *looks up* Hey, Uncle Hecro!

Ozzie: Ah, good to c u guys! Lunch hour time?

Thrax; Yeah

Ozzie: *gestured them to Maximus' spot* I think there's still room, if u dont mind sharing, Max

Maximus; Not at all

Hecro: *smiles n came up to Maximus, sitting nxt to him*

Maximus; 8kissed him gently8

Hecro: *kisses him bk*

Miracle: So wht'll it be, guys?

Thrax; Just a tuna melt for me.

Hecro: I'd like the Cheese Special pls

Miracle: One tuna melt n one Cheese Special coming right up *skates away to pass the order to Leah n Dieter*

Thrax; 8sighed8

Ozzie: *heard his sigh n skated up to him* Wht's wrong, love?

Thrax; Just on edge that's all.

Ozzie: Just relax, love. Everything will be fine *nuzzled him n skated off to attend to customers*

Thrax; 8stretched8

Hecro: *looks ard* Wow, these trainees sure r young. They look like, wht, at least 18 for the youngest?

Thrax; 8nods8

Hecro: Wht r u having there, Chris? *looks at his food*

Maximus; Just a bit of pasta and chicken

Hecro: Looks good *grins n steals a piece of chicken to eat*

Maximus; Hey

Hecro: *giggled*

Miracle: *brings the order for them* Here we go. Enjoy ur meal. Oh we got some new drinks for u to try. It's on the house

Hecro: Wht is it? *looks at his drink*

Thrax; 8cocked a brow8

Miracle: It's papaya honey milkshake. It's a big hit among the teens. Try it. They say its good for health too *moves on to service other customers*

Thrax; 8took small sips8 Mmm it is good.

Hecro: *sips his* Mmm, ur right. It is good. Maybe I should get Oz to teach me how to make this

Maximus; 8gently sipped his8

*the usual antics of Frank's Diner carried on, with Miracle charming his customers while the guys tried to stop Alexis frm murdering the customers who try to hit on Miracle, n their usual speed n expertise in cooking n serving*

Hecro: Man, they reli r having a lot of fun

Thrax; 8smiles8 They sure are.

Hecro: Hopefully they'll reli earn enough to open their restaurant branch. Then they dont hv to move ard with the trailer restaurant so much. Oz was thinking to get the one at the Heart District

Thrax; 8nods8

Hecro: Oh, I heard Spryman has a surprise for us later on, n he wants us to be in his private meeting. Just u, me, Drix, Jared, him n Amber

Thrax; 8arched his brow8

Hecro: Dont look at me. He called for it. He said to meet up aftr work

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: *rolls up to them* Enjoying ur meals, guys?

Hecro: Vry. Thanks, bro

Thrax; Thanks baby.

Ozzie: Anytime *kisses Thrax's cheek*

Hecro: *sees the time* Oh we better be going. Lunch hour almost ovr. Cya aftr work then

Ozzie: Alright. Hv a nice day now

Thrax; 8kissed his mate and left8

*the day went by smoothly, n by the end of the day, just aftr working hours, the guys were gathered in Spryman's office*

Thrax; 8was curious as what was going on8

Spryman: Ah everyone here n accounted for

Drix: So wht's the big mystery here, Spryman?

Thrax; 8leaned on his hands8

Spryman: Well, as u all knw, I'm the mayor, so usually I hv the biggest house of all of the City of Hector, n it gets kinda lonely n all, living there all by myself while u guys live so far away n yet ur all family to me...

Jared: Cut to the chase, Paul

Spryman: Fine *takes a deep breath before blurting out at one go* Doyouguyswannamoveintomyhouseandstaywithme??

Thrax; 8shocked8 What/

Spryman: I said Do you guys wanna...

Hecro: We heard u bt...why?

Spryman: I'm lonely, OK? I nvr had a real family n all, n ever since Mommy...well, "taught me a lesson", I've always seen u guys as my family, bt u guys live so far away, n I'm always busy as a mayor, bt I always come home to an empty house with no one to greet me like u guys do. I just...wanna be part of a family. I wanna be close to u guys

Thrax; 8looked at his comrades8

Hecro: I dunno...I mean, I just moved n all, n Miracle had also just moved...

Spryman: Pls...? *looks at them sadly* I wanna be with a real family. N u knw by staying with me, I can offer protection n possibly a citizenship for ur bros, Pops

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Spryman: If u need help with moving, I can cover everything. I've made keys for my house already. U can take it *passes them the spare keys to his house* bt I'd be reli happy for u to move in with me

Thrax; 8still wanted to give it some thought8

Spryman: S'ok. Just take it n think abt it. Wen ur ready, u can move in with me

Hecro: Alright *takes the key* But no promises

Thrax; 8nods8

Spryman: *nods n walked off sadly with Amber bk home*

Jared: *watched him leave* U think we should've just agreed, Daddy? He reli seems vry lonely

Thrax; I don't know Jared.

Drix: *looks at his key* Though I gotta admit, the last time I went to his house, it was huge with enough rooms to spare. It's too big of a mansion for just one kid, n he does need some parenting

Hecro: We'll see, Drix. We're gonna hv to discuss with the others first

Thrax; 8nods8
