Gunther: *scowled n banged on the table* No! He is MINE! U r not to touch him, u hear me?! He's MINE!

8the cells stared at him8

Gunther: *cleared his throat* Fine. Let's get to the matter at hand. Wht to do with those monsters we kept at the concentration camps. Any better suggestions so far?

She-cell; Hard to say sir

Cell: We could always throw them in the gas chamber at the bowels

Gunther: *shook his head* No, tht's just not epic enough. They should deserve something worse, something more humiliating than tht

Cell: Any thoughts sir?

Gunther: *thought deeply*

She-cell: Sir, if I may make suggestion...

8everyone looked at her8

She-cell: A public execution would do wonders to them. Epic n humiliating

8some of them nodded8

Gunther: Hm, interesting. Yes. Tht would be vry epic. We'll do tht. N since it'll be the last day of school for Hector, we'll do tht to celebrate it. Brilliant

Cells: Yes sir

8a few doctors and nurses grabbed him8

Twins: *worry for him*

*Hector was screaming n kicking n the parents couldnt stand seeing him being treated like tht, yelling at the doctors to let him go. Hector got bk his gloves n the parents took Hector away, telling him tht they will try another time*

Sakura; 8tried to fight the sleep8

*the gas was too strong n soon everyone succumbed to sleep, in which Gunther's men quickly hauled them to trucks n drove dwn to the concentration camp where they were all thrown in to a sort of fort tht separates them btwn the hormones bcoz Gunther didnt want the viruses to mix with the hormones n cause haywire on Hector's growth*

Miracle: *burst into tears n buried his face in Alexis' chest, sobbing*

Alexis; 8wrapped his arm round him8

Miracle: No, no, no~! Daddy~! *sobbed*

Alexis; 8held him close while he cradled Hippolyta8

Hippolyta: *sensed the sadness n started crying as well*

Sprite: *hears the sadness n came to them, giving them a "What's going on?" look*

Alexis; It's Oz

Sprite: *gave him a "What's wrong?" shrug*

Alexis; 8looked over his shoulder8

Sprite: *turned to see Thrax crying, n Oz's shirt he was holding made him put two n two together*

Alexis; 8shuttered8

Sprite: *sighed sadly*

Leah; 8bit hard on her lip8

Drix: *held her close, comforting her, evn tho his heart was aching ovr the loss of his old friend*

8Sakura and Rory kept to themselves8

Morty: *seemed to hv noticed Sakura n Rory's behaviour n decided to talk to them aftr he had done comforting Julius*

Julius; 8trembled8

Morty: *hushed him n rubbed his bk*

Leah; 8curled up against her mate8

Drix: *kissed her forehead n rocked her n Sally to n fro*

Leah; Thiz iz 'orrible

Drix: I knw, darling. I feel terrible too. This has gone too far

Alexis; That's putting it mildly

Takashi: We reli must do something! We cant let Oz to-chan die in vain like this!!

Leah; Like vat/

Dieter: I dont knw. Storm ze plc or somezing

Maximus; We don't have much man power

Takashi: De...Demo (but) Oz to-chan...

Ricardo: We hv to think it thru, I'm afraid, there's no use in barging into a plc wen u knw ur outnumbered

8the kids looked worried8

*everyone spent the rest of the day in silence, thinking abt how wrong their day has been*

Alexis; 8stretched out on the floor like a dog8

Miracle: *just finished feeding Hippolyta n was exhausted*

Alexis; 8looked up8

Miracle: *looked evn thinner than usual*

Alexis; You really need to eat something

Miracle: Bt...there wont be enough for others. U knw wht tht doctor said...

Alexis; And he told us you need more

Miracle: It wouldnt be fair to the others

Alesxis; You need the extra food for Paula

Miracle: Mmh, yeah, I guess... *sighed* I just feel bad for the others hogging all the food tho. Can u get me soemthing?

Alexis; What would you like/

Miracle: Anything. I'm cool with it

Alexis; 8went to see what they had8

*aftr dividing the ration, there were a few good number of food to choose frm*

Alexis; 8picked out enough8

Miracle: *lulled Hippolyta to sleep*

Alexis; Here you are love

Miracle: *smiled* Thanks *takes the food n ate it*

Alexis; 8smiled and curled round their daughter8

Hippolyta: *purred as she slept in her father's arms*

Alexis; 8nuzzles her gently8

Miracle: *chuckled at the way Alexis was so affectionate with Hippolyta, then once he finished his food, he realized who had got it for him n started tearing up*

Alexis; 8licked him8

Miracle: Daddy got this for me...N he died for it... *sobs* Its my fault...I shouldnt hv...

Alexis; It's not your fault

Miracle: Yes it is. If I'm not in such a bad shape, Daddy wouldnt need to go out like this for me!

Alexis; Miracle

Miracle: *looked up at him tearfully*

Alexis; Enough

Miracle: *bit his lip to hold bk his tears*

Alexis; 8nuzzled him8

Miracle: *sobbed quietly in his arms*

Sakura; 8sighed at the sight8

Morty: *aftr tucking Julius in, came towards Sakura n Rory* Hey, kids. We need to talk

8they looked up8

Morty: *picked them up n took them somewhere secluded* I noticed ur look just now. U seemed troubled. Care to talk abt it?

Sakura; You won't believe us

Morty: Try me

Sakura; That's not our mother

Morty: Wht?

Rory; That's not mother

Morty: I heard u bt...why did u say tht?

Sakura; Something isn't right

Morty: Wht do u think it is?

Rory; We're not sure

Morty: Do u think it has something to do with Gunther?

Sakura; Most likely

Morty: So wht shall we do abt this?

Rory; We're still trying to figure that out.

Morty: Well, I've got a feeling no one else is gonna believe us tht easily. Its all up to us now

8the two nodded8

Episode 3

*the nxt morning, Sprite slowly got up n sat up on his bed, thinking deep thoughts*

8his son started whimpering8

Sprite: *was able to hear him, bt was reluctant to go see*

Julius; 8got up to check on the baby8

*the baby whimpered, he was hungry n needed his mommy*

Sprite: *hugged his knees close to his chest, trying to ignore those cries*

Julius; 8gently picked him up8

*his cries became louder, he instinctively knew it was not his mommy carrying him n wanted his mommy*

Julius; 8carried him out to Sprite8

Sprite: *looked up at Julius bringing the baby to him n shook his head, terrified*

Julius; He wants you, you're his mother

Sprite: *bit his lip, still shaking his head, all the while trying to ignore the cries tht were getting louder n louder*

Julius; 8rocked the child8 You may not like how he came into being but that's no reason to blame him

Sprite: *squeezed his eyes shut, burying his face in his knees, shaking his head*

Morty: *got up as well at upon hearing Julius arguing with Sprite n came up to him* I'll handle this. Young man, either u accept the fact tht u r his mother or u terminate the child urself. Ur choice *takes the baby n puts it on the bed at Sprite's feet, then ushered Julius to leave them alone, whispering* I knw wht I'm doing. Let's watch

Julius; 8bit his lip8

Sprite: *watched in horror as Morty dropped the baby at his feet n left with Julius, then he continued to stare at the bawling baby, not knwing wht to do*

Julius; Are you sure about this?

Morty: Shh, trust me. Just watch

Sprite: *continued to watch the baby for a while, then finally relented n tried his luck in carrying him in his arms. The baby almost immediately slowed dwn his crying to a whimper, nuzzling against Sprite's chest, wanting milk*

Julius; 8bit his tongue8

Sprite: *bit his lip, not sure if he was doing right, bt somehow a bit of instincts was kicking in as he lifted his shirt n fed him. The baby soon settled dwn n suckled powerfully*

Morty: *smiled at the sight* See? He's fine now. I am surprised of him able to conceive tho. Could he be a half-breed?

Julius; Who knows

Morty: Hmm, he looks more like Spryman. Half-white blood-half-something else. Tho I cant put my finger which is the other half. Usually those kind of cells hv a 50-50 chance of conception

Sprite: *once he was done, he helped to burp the baby, then wanted to put him bk dwn bt the baby immediately started crying wen he was put dwn, bt stopped quickly if Sprite picked him bk up. It repeated a few times until Sprite finally gave in n held him*

Julius; Phew

Sprite: *looked dwn at his baby who seemed to look bk up at him in content, then he smiled before slowly falling asleep in his arms. It tugged at the young cell's heartstrings as he started crying, holding the baby close n kissed him ovr n ovr again, pouring his new found love for this child ovr him*

Morty: See? Wht I tell ya? Everything's fine

Julius; 8nods8

Morty: Did u sleep well, my lovebug? *nuzzled him*

Julius; Best I could

Morty: Reminds me of the last time I had to hide out like this. I was in a Health Nazi's body n I was hunted dwn as soon as I set foot into it

Julius; Those type of city's don't live long, Thrax should know

Morty: Yeah, I heard a few of his escapades wen we were chatting. I left the city as soon as I could. Like I said, I only kill ppl who deserves to die. This one doesnt. He's just a kid anyways

Julius; Adolesant

Morty: Ah, yes, right, adolescent. Man, I cant believe tht Gunther guy actually did tht to him. He's behaving worse than a virus

Julius; 8snarled at him8

Morty: I meant Gunther behaving more like virus

Julius; Ya know that's an insult to our kind

Morty: Sorry, lovebug. I didnt mean tht...It just feels like he's behaving so radically evil. I've seen a few of our kind tht was reli nasty

Julius; So have I

Morty: I just hope this will be ovr soon n we can find a way to stop all this madness

Julius; If not Gunther has signed Hector's death certificate

Morty: *nodded in agreement*

Julius; 8sighed8

Sprite: *finally was at peace with his baby as he rocked him to sleep in his arms*

Julius: ~Thank Hector~

Ozzie: *woke up to chk on Sprite n saw him cradling the baby* Hey Sprite *smiled at him*

Sprite: *looked up at him n smiled sheepishly*

Thrax; 8got up to see what's happening8

Ozzie: Did u give him a name?

Sprite: *wanted to tell him in sign language, bt remember they dont understand him in sign language*

Ozzie: *got the idea n got him a pen n paper*

Thrax; 8came up to his mate8

Ozzie: *looked up at Thrax* Mornin' baby

Sprite: *wrote* I named him Timothy. Timmy for short

Thrax; 8smiled8 Suites him

Ozzie: U...OK with telling us wht happened?

Sprite: *hesitated then nodded, writing* Gunther came to my home, accusing me of being a virus supporter. He wanted to put me of charges of harbouring fugitives in my house, which of course, I didnt. Wen he couldnt find any, he questioned n tortured me. I couldnt tell him anything if I wanted to bcoz I'm mute, bt he thinks I was being stubborn n tight-lipped. As a last resort he...he raped me to get me to talk. It was then he found out I was mute all along, bt the deed was done. He couldnt charge me with anything without evidence, so he just left me locked up in the basement until Drix n Alexis found me

Thrax; 8gripped his fist8 If only we came sooner

Sprite: *shook his head n wrote* S'ok. U couldnt hv predicted it coming anyways. I was horrified wen I found out tht I was pregnant. I knw I'm half white blood half muscle cell, n usually breeds like us hv a 50-50 chance of conception, bt I didnt think he would hit it at one shot. Many times I tried to bring myself to self-abort bt...I dunno why...I couldnt do it.

Thrax; Many can't live with the guilt

Sprite: *wrote* Wen Alexis n Drix came to get me, I was starting to hv contraction. I knew by experience tht I was having a premature birth, n...part of me was scared for the baby...bt part of me wished it to be ovr n done with...I cant believe I didnt want it, bt...I guess ur brother n his boyfriend helped me see the error of my ways. Now I cant imagine why I can nvr love this little child 8smiled n kissed his son, nuzzling him*

Ozzie: I'm glad u think tht way. Every child is precious, no matter how they were conceived

Thrax; 8nods8

Sprite: *nodded, then wrote* I'm grateful now. At least out of all this pain, I hv my little pride n joy here with me

Thrax; 8smiles8 He's your angel

Sprite: *nodded in agreement n kissed his son*

Ozzie: Thank Hector. I was a little worried wen u didnt want to hold him

Sprite: *writes* Yeah, sorry abt tht. I was probably a little emotional n in denial, bt I'm OK now

Thrax; Glad you've come to terms

Sprite: *nods n nuzzled Timmy before putting him on the bed beside him*

Thrax; 8looked at their growing group8

*others came in with Mole with a few more survivors*

Thrax; 8nodded8

Ozzie: *sighed in relief* Thank goodness Gunther missed these lucky ppl. I reli worry abt the future of Hector. He's practically turning it into some sort of Health Nazi area

Thrax; I' give the kid til before his 20th

Ozzie: *shook his head* Tht'll be awful

Thrax; Being a health nut isn't a good thing, trust me I know

Ozzie: *nods* I understand. I wonder wht's going on right now in the outside world of Hector. Is it affecting him as it is affecting us here in this city?

Thrax; Got a connection to the eye-channle/

Mole: *overheard them* I do. I've been keeping tabs on the outside world. I hacked into the eye channel systems. I can show u if u want

Thrax; Show us

Mole: *nodded n led the couple to another part of a tunnel where all his electrical equipments were installed, three big plasma wall-to-wall screens present, one of them being hacked in the eye channel*

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: *sees the equipment n was a little impressed*

Mole: *went ovr to click some buttons to hack into the eye channel*

Thrax; 8looked at the screen8

*in the outside world, it showed tht somehow Hector had started become a bit of a health n clean freak, n evn started wearing gloves so tht he wouldnt touch things directly n get germs, n screens his food all the time before eating, getting into the stages of becoming a Health Nazi*

Thrax; 8shook his head8

Ozzie: Oh no...

Mole: Its worse than I hv expected

Thrax; Some improvement

Ozzie: Wht r we gonna do? We can't live like this or let Hector live like this

Thrax; And what do you suggest

Ozzie: Anything short of a rebellion?

Mole: I dont think I hv the firepower for tht...

Thrax; 8scofts8

Ozzie: *sighs*

Thrax; 8walked off8

Ozzie: *followed behind him* So...u got any ideas, baby?

Thrax; Not at the minute

Ozzie: I hope Gunther hasnt done more damages than he already has

Thrax; 8gave him a 'are you serious/' look8

Ozzie: *looked bk at him n realized wht he just said* Forget I said it. Its already too late anyways

Thrax; 8nodded8

Miracle: *was not doing so well. Due to the rations, his body is hardly keeping up with Hippoylta's appetite*

Alexis; 8was worried8

Miracle: *was constantly getting tired n thinner*

8some of the others tried to give their food to him8

Ozzie: *came up to him* How's he doing?

Alexis; Not well Oz

Ozzie: *chked him* He reli is a lot malnourished then before. Maybe we should go look for more food

Alexis; 8nodded8

Ozzie: Right. I'll go get the food. Who wants to come with me?

Virus; I'll go

Ozzie: Thanks. I think I knw where is a good plc to find food *got ready to leave*

8the virus fallowed him8

Ozzie: *kissed Thrax goodbye n set off*

Thrax; 8had a bad feeling in his gut about this8

TOYLB: Long & Dark Times-Season 1-2

Episode 2

Thrax; 8lead them to icilated areas were they could hunt and gather8

*they split into teams where one went to hunt with Thrax while the other went to find any surviving viruses*

Thrax; 8sniffed round8

Takashi: Thrax ottoto-chan! I think there's a restaurant there. We can sneak some food frm the bk

Thrax; Keep alert

Takashi: *nodded* Hai *went to the back door of the restaurant with some of his guys to try n sneak food*

Dieter: *was along wtih his group to search for surviving viruses*

Thrax; 8kept guard8

Takashi: *managed to salvage some food and leftovers in the kitchen larder wen no one was looking n snuck* Sa, ikimasho (lets go)

Thrax; 8gathers the others8

*the others also managed to sneak food out frm every other eatery*

Dieter: *discovers an abandoned building n gestured the group to search there*

Thrax; 8looked round8

*there were a few young children tht looked like half-breeds hidden in one dark corner, lying beside a teenage half-breed who looked like he was long dead. Wen one of them saw Thrax n his group, the elder child took a sharp object to protect his family, hissing at him*

Thrax; Easy now

Dieter: Ve're here to help jou

Child: Tht's wht he said before he killed our brother! Get away!

Thrax; Who said/

Child2: T...The Mayor... *sobs*

Thrax; He's no mayor

Child: *still looks at them warily, his "weapon" still held up to keep them away*

Thrax; Easy now, we're viruses to

Child: *looked up at them* Ur viruses too? Reli? Then how come there are cells with u?

Dieter: They're either half-breeds or mates of the viruses. They're good

Thrax; We're here to help

Child: *lowered his weapon n held out his arms to them, followed by his sibs*

Thrax; 8lifted him8

Dieter: *lifted one of the sibs while another one picked up the last one* Lets get out of here, mein bruder

Thrax; Quickly 8they all got out8

*everyone quickly made their way to teh underground safehouse*

Thrax; 8made sure everyone was in before closing the door8

Takashi: *announced* We've got food~!

Alexis; Let's hope it lasts

Takashi: *knew wht he meant, wen it comes to Miracle*

Antonio; 8sorted through the food8

Ricardo: * helped out*

Alexis; Got everything/

Ricardo: Yup, more or less. Here's ur share *gave him his n Miracle's share*

Dieter: *along with his group, brought the children to the nursery with the other kids*

Thrax; 8looked round8

*the kids were settling dwn peacefully more or less. Since they were underground, they had nothing much to do bt socialize wtih each other, getting knw each other n played games*

Thrax; 8sighed8

Ozzie: *approached him* How things go, baby?

Thrax; So far so good

Ozzie: Hope is finally learning to walk n talk properly now

Thrax; 8looked at their youngest8

Hope: *was talking to another half-breed girl who was a little older than her n she was pretty fluent in talking, n wen they were called to play London Bridge, she got up with ease n tottered towards the group*

Thrax; 8smiled8

Ozzie: Our kids r growing up so quickly in front of us

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: *sighs* I wonder how long will this last

Thrax; I'm not sure

Ozzie: Maybe it was a bad idea in the beginning to let him take ovr wen Paul was sick. I feel as if its my fault...

Thrx; It wasn't

Ozzie: *leaned up against him, sighing*

Thrax; 8held him close8

Ozzie: This is not wht I want for our children, to live in fear like this. Sakura & Kia had enough of this bk in Frank before Ozzex was born. This cant happen again for them

Thrax; I don't think Sakura's living in fear but she is starting to get ticked

Ozzie: I bet its coz of being cooped up all the time

Thrax; I know the feeling

Ozzie: Heh, of course, she's got ur genes ;p

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: At least the kids get to be occupied with other kids to keep them busy a little

Thrax; Yeah

Ozzie: Do u sometimes wish we had picked a different city instead?

Thrax; It wouldn't be any different

Ozzie: How can u be sure?

Thrax; Ya forget who you're talking

Ozzie; *looked up at him sheepishly* Oh, right...sorry

Thrax; 8sighs8

Ozzie: *yawns* I think its abt time we both get a good night's sleep

Thrax; Yeah, it's been a rough day

Ozzie: *crawled up to one of the beds n gestured Thrax to join him*

Thrax; 8slid off his coat and top before slipping into bed8

Ozzie: *cuddled up against him*

Thrax; 8held him close8

Ozzie: I love u, Thrax

Thrax; Love you to baby

Ozzie: *fell asleep in his arms*

Thrax; 8soon drifted off8
