TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 6-7

[the hall the virus was walking thru led him to a sub-basement underneath the basement they were in]

Thrax; 8looked round, trying to detect anything8

[there was a faint sound of wat sounded like a heart monitor machine]

Thrax; 8twitched his ears, following the sound8

[the sound led him to some kind of open room, with a plastic drape acting like a curtain to separate the room n the rest of the entrance]

Thrax; 8pulled it back8

[behind the drapes revealed something of a makeshift hospital wards, with rows n rows of beds occupied by unconscious ppl; cell, virus, germ, bacteria alike, all hooked to their own life support machine n IV drips tht probably keeps them unconscious, n further dwn the room looked like there were a bunch of cold storage fridges n thermoses, n a few trolleys filled with surgical tools]

Thrax; 8looked round8

[at the far end of the row of beds lay Loki, unconscious with the IV drips n heartbeat monitor machine hooked onto him]

Thrax; 8ran to him n loked him over8

Loki: [was definitely unconscious, n has a tag on his wrist labeled: MULTIPLE ORGANS VIABLE. SURGERY COMPATIBLE]

Thrax; 8snarled, stroking Loki's hair8

[sounds of footsteps coming in]

Thrax; 8hissed, merging into the shadows really to strike8

[it was a couple of cells dressed in hospital garments]

Cell#1: So who's next to be harvested?

Cell#2: I think the boss said to do the ones that are labeled MULTIPLE ORGANS VIABLE

Thrax; 8growled8

Cell#1: Who shall we start with?

Cell#2: [looked at his charts] Let's start with tht hybrid there [pointed at Loki's direction]

Thrax; 8felt himself transform8

Cell#1: Right, prep the tools n bring the thermos cases. Need to keep them in cool storage as soon as possible once extracted

Cell#2: Yeah, yeah, I know the drill [made his way to get the equipment ready]

Thrax; 8moved quickly n tore them to shreds8

[the slight commotion alerted the other ppl outside who were coming in to assist the first two cells]

Cell#3: Intruder alert! Report to the bosses! Hurry!

Thrax; 8didn't leave a single one standing8

[one of them managed to trigger an alarm before dying]

Ozzy: [was in the middle of escorting the kids out via hugging the walls n avoiding detection wen the alarm sounded] Oh crap...

Thrax; 8hissed in anger, trying to remove the IVs without hurting the prisoners8

Ozzy: [using the telepathic link] /Babe, where are u?/

Thrax; /Sub-basement below ya/

Ozzy: /On my way to ya. Did u trip the alarm or something?/

Thrax; /Partly, I've found Loki/

Ozzy: /Oh Frank, is he OK?/

Thrax; /Good thing we got here when we did/ 8shutters8

Ozzy: /I got the kids hidden in a safe spot. I managed to find some sort of exit for them. I'm coming dwn for ya/ [almost ran into some patrolmen n hid out of sight before continuing downwards] /Bogeys coming ur way. Hide, babe/

Thrax; 8merged into the shadows8

Ozzy: [also hugged the walls as he neared where Thrax was, waiting for the patrolmen to search ard the area]

Patrolman#1: Better alert the boss, just in case. We better evacuate n clear out

Patrolman#2: Roger

Ozzy: [waited till one of them made close towards his hiding spot before reaching ovr n headlock him, knocking him out quietly]

Thrax; 8looked round8

[the other patrolman was making last min chks, heading Thrax's way]

Thrax; 8bared his fangs n striked when he was close enough8

[the patrolman struggled in his vice before he slumped lifelessly in the virus's arms]

Thrax; 8threw him into a store room8

Ozzy: [peeked in] /Babe? U in there?/

Thrax; Over here

Ozzy: [comes in n sees the setting] /Wat the...? This... This is an underground organ harvest operation! They're doing black market organ dealing? Shit, is tht wat they did to all those missing ppl?/

Thrax; And worse things probably but I can't removed the wires in case it shocks their systems

Ozzy: /Let's just hope Devin got my msg n come here with backup. I'll go bk n get the kids to safety. U try to figure out how to remove Loki's wires at least/

Thrax; Right

Ozzy: [was abt to leave wen two bulky cells tht looked like the guys who came with "Vihto" to collect Salvador blocked him] /Ah crap.../

Thrax; 8snarled8

Voice: Well well, look wat the cat dragged in

[The Gangland Family showed up, with more goons in tow]

Thrax; 8cracked his knuckles8

Ozzy: [glared at them, knowing tht any witty remarks he might hv, they're not gonna hear it coz of the lack of link]

Vihto: I knew targeting a family who is related to the fuzz is a bad idea. This is all ur fault, Pa!

Peter: MY fault? YOU were the one who screwed up n didn't get the kid before he was found by those book nerds. U were eyeing him since the day u saw him lurking ard their neighbourhood

Neil: We'll argue abt tht later. Our hideout has been compromised. We need to deal with these two first before they bring in more fuzz

Thrax; 8smirked8 Bring it

Ozzy: [got into fight stance]

Vihto: Wait! U guys wanna fight here?? There's a bunch of merchandizes right here! Millions of carbs dwn the drain!!

Peter: Bah, it's already dwn the drain the moment these two contaminated the area. We're not taking any chances. We can find another plc to settle n find better victims

Thrax; Over my dead body 8lunged at them8

Ozzy: [followed suite as well, pretty much fighting as he did bk in Frank, just like in The Zit]

[an all-out brawl ensued, with gunshots in btwn]

Thrax; 8shredded as many as he could8

Ozzy: [gave a good whoop-ass to everybody he could, occasionally swiping their guns to fire at them n using his bio-weapon powers on them, careful not to hurt the ppl on the hospital beds]

Thrax; 8backed them away from the beds8

[soon loud footsteps could be heard n a huge crowd of immunity surrounded them]

Immunity: FREEZE! IMMUNITY! Ur completely surrounded! Put ur hands up!!

Thrax; Hope ya brought a medical team to

[the thugs put up a fight, bt ultimately aftr gunning dwn some, everyone was subdued]

Devin: Well, well, looks like we've finally got u guys, Gangland Family

Peter: Hah, u'll nvr hold us. We'll get out. We've got connections

Devin: We'll see abt tht [turns to Oz n Thrax] Hey, u guys OK there?

Thrax; We're not the ones ya should be concerned fr

Devin: I knw, bt still, I hv to knw. It's part of my job [looked abt] Oh boy, the medic team got their job cut out for them

Ozzy: [types on his phone] Can they at least help wake our friend Loki up first? He's mainly why we took this case

Thrax; And we need someone to look over Sal our nephew

Devin: U got it [turned to the medical team] Alright, let's start reviving them all slowly, start with him [points towards Loki's direction] N send some of them to where the kids are

Ozzy: [turns to Thrax] /I'll go with the medic team to the kids. Sal might freak out if he sees a bunch of strangers try to manhandle him/

Thrax; I'll take Loki

Ozzy: [nodded n followed the medic team to where he hid the kids]

Thrax; 8stood by Loki8

Medic team: [came to unhook all the patients on the beds, starting with Loki]

Thrax; 8waited8

[minutes later, Loki slowly stirred]

Loki: Nnhh...? What...? Where...? [tries to sit up]

Thrax; Easy Loki

Loki: [blinked his eyes, trying to focus] W...Where am I...? W...Why am I naked...?

Thrax; 8helped him up n placed his jacket round him8

Loki: [wrapped the jacket tight ard him] Wat happened...? W-Where... Where's Neil, and Mom, and...? [was confused, his memories still stuck on the day he was still being courted by Neil]

Thrax; 8bit his lip8 Don't go into a panic attack on me when I tell ya 8explained what had happened n where he was8

Loki: [the more he listened, the more his face morphed into disbelief, n by the end of it, he was sobbing hard]

Thrax; 8held him tight8

Loki: Oh Goliath... Wat hv I done...? Wat hv I done...? [sobbed hard in Thrax's arms]

Thrax; Hey hey none of this is ya fault Lok

Loki: I... I abandoned Rouge n my baby girl... My mom n my uncle committed suicide bcoz of me... All bcoz I thought... I thought I was doing the right thing...

Thrax; No to disrespect the dead but it's their own fault with their selfish desires, they should've known it was too good to be true n unless ya uncle recently moved he should've known his neighbour

Loki: [sniffles] I know... I know wat u mean... But I should've seen the signs too... I was too blinded by wanting to help my family tht... Oh gosh, Rouge is so gonna hate me... I wouldn't blame him if he nvr takes me bk...

Thrax; Like Tartardis he would, he's been worried sick afraid he would never see ya again

Loki: [bit his lip, unconvinced]

Thrax; Loki ya needed, he needs ya n so does ya little one

Loki: [leaned against Thrax's chest, still sniffling a little] Take me home... I wanna go home...

Thrax; 8helped him up8

Ozzy: [meanwhile was done with the medical team n helping to usher the kids into a bus tht is tasked to send them home, then carries Salvador in his arms] Time to go home, OK? U wanna go home to ur mommy n daddy?

Salvador: [doesn't reply, bt leans his head onto Ozzy's shoulder n hugged him tight]

Thrax; 8was waiting fr them with Loki8

Ozzy: [sees them waiting at the entrance of the building] /Oh hey guys, sorry for the wait/

Thrax; No worries baby

Ozzy: [smiled sympathetically at Loki, glad that he's OK, before taking out his phone] /Better text Rouge n Di abt this, give them a heads-up/

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzy: [text] Hey, Rouge. Is Di alright? Is he still feverish?

Rouge; /texted/ It's broken but he's still worn out

Ozzy: [text] Good to know. Listen, we're on our way bk now. Can't tell u much on the phone. We'll be there in abt 30mins. U good to wait?

Rouge: [texted] Yep

Ozzy: [text] Cool, cya then [holds Salvador close n made his way to find Thrax] /Hey, babe. Ready to go?/

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzy: /Cool, u hold onto Sal for a while. I'll get the car/ [passes Salvador to Thrax]

Thrax; 8gently cradled him8

Ozzy: [walked to where they parked their car, started it n drove it to where Thrax n Loki were waiting] Hop in

Loki: [nodded quietly n entered the back seat]

Thrax; 8followed with Sal into the back8

Ozzy: [double chk to see evryone in the car, nodded n drove off bk to the hotel where they stayed n where they left Dieter n Rouge at]
