The Monster Returns X after TDAS

Chapter 13: Jealousy and Aloneness

Mal jumps over a fence with two police officers on his tail. Bad news for Mal he was at a dead end in at a alley he couldn't jump that high he looked back seeing they had him conerd. "Put your hands up kid!" The officer warnerd. Mal didn't take this as a threat, he holds his ground and punched one of them in the jaw almost breaking it and he fell to the ground the young man got tazed several times he pushed thru him knocking him to a wall knocking him out and laughs.

"To easy. These cops sure have gotten weak." Mal annoyed the pain in his back and ran home. Back with Mike and the other alters.

Mike was still asleep remembering the Mal he used to know. Shy, mischief, but caring and loving and a loyal good friend and the best brother Mike could ever have. The others saw a memory clound appearing above him. Seeing a young Mike and Mal.

Maintoba smiled. "That's the Malcolm we used to know."

Chester rolled his eyes. "Like were getting the old him back. He'll never change" They walked somewhere else to let Mike sleep in peace.

In the memory, a young Mike and Mal were drawing in there room. Mal was 9 years old while Mike was 8.

Mal was drawing what was his tower in Total Drama All stars. But alot more colorful other than purple and black. "Look what I drew." Mike smiled seeing he had drew a colorful tower with flowers and Mike him playing in a pool.  "I think we can build it one day."

Mike hugged his bestfriend. "I love it Mal! Want to see what I drew?" He holds up him and Mal pranking his Dad they laugh seeing his dad covered in chocolate and feathers. A few days later a new alter came this time a girl who they called Svetlana she was very athletic and always wanted to be a gymnast, one day. She was the little sister of the family.

Svetlana did a cart real with Mike they were having a good time Mal walked infront of them. She giggled. "Hi Mal!"

Mal growl little to himself, and gave Svetlana one of his death glairs.  "Hi...Svetlana..." He looked at Mike. "Mike can we play today?" He smiled hoping Mike would say yes.

Mal frowns when Mike's answer is something he didn't want. "Later okay. Svetlana is teaching me how to do a cartwheel. You wanna try?" He smiled.

Mal shook his head. "No thanks..." He walked away and said to himself. "Mike always played with me and sometimes that grump of a old man, Chester but mostly with me. Why would he play with a girl over me? I get she's new and all, but I was hear first. Hopefully she's the only new alter in the mind." He growled, Mike was at school and since he's in the the third grade now Mal wanted to learn more about school so he thought taking control would be a good idea since Chester is napping, and Mike's to busy playing with Svetlana he took control for Mike's math class. And this is when his mischief starts.

Mal looked around seeing Mike was in Recess right now seeing different kids playing on the play ground. "Hmm. This is better than being inside the mind." He smiled he growled when one of Mike's bullys threw a rock and ball at him.  "Who just did that!?" He questioned. He heard laughter coming from behind he turned around seeing a kid looking one year older than himself and taller.

"The losers play ground is over there, so  get lost Mike!" He threatened.

Mal gets a bit confused the only person he be around would be Mike's Mom and the other alters and Mike, he was still getting use to the outside world. He tried reasoning with the bully; this is where Mal's aggressive behavior started to branch out. He was use to being around gentle and nice, well positive area well the beatings he been taking for Mike making him less afraid of stuff.

"I don't think that seems fair bro. An't the playground for every kid to play on." He tried to reason, but Mal just got pushed to the ground he felt that same anger building up when Mike's dad beated Mike to a pulp with him watching, sometimes Mal would take control to take the pain so Mike wouldn't have to take the pain he would fight back, the bully laughed at him.

"You think talking about it will help? I'm the most popular kid at this school, and your the weakling of a freak!" He laughs more, but instead of expecting crying from Mike like he usually does and running away. He was talking about Mike, his bestfriend he couldn't take it anymore he growls.

Mal looked down seeing a medium size rock and picked it up, and smirks. "How about you meet rock peon!" He punched him with the rock which broke the bullys nose he screamed in agony getting some of the kids and teachers antion. He dropped the rock realizing what he did it felt so good to bring pain on someone who was hurting Mike; he drops the rock coverd in blood he saw one of the teachers grab him dragging him to the Principal with her he had a hurt wrist from being pushed to the ground  Mal laughs a bit for what he did, and gasped making Mike be put in control. Mike will be sure in for a suprises. This was only the tip of the iceberg for Mals chaous and blood shed.

End of Flashback

Back with Zoey she had called the ambulance, she didn't want Mal to get taken to jail even tho he deserved it she knew somewhere Mike was still in there fighting back somehow. She left when Mike's Uncle Dev was taken to the hospital; She just had one question. Why was Mal like this? "I just wish I could just look in Mike's head or something, Maybe Cameron will have an idea?" She smiled and ran to his house then had a flashback of her own when she was just seven years old.

A young Zoey was playing in her room with her stuffed bunny she was the only child cause her Mom couldn't have kids anymore, it ass hard for to make friends at school her hair was brown before she died it rose red. She always wanted a pet Hamster as a pet.

"I can't wait for my birthday. If I get a girl hamster oh ms.Puffycheeks. boy just cheeks, or cheese." Zoey said. She then saw her dad come in from work she hugged him. "Daddy!"

He smiled he had dark brown hair with a white line of white and black hair with white skin. "Hi Zoey. Look who I got you." He smiled and handed her a small cage as small for what she always wanted, a Hamster. She squils happy.

Zoey smiled and took the baby Hamster to her room. "Aww. Your so cute." She saw her white cat on her cage. "Precious leave her alone." To her surprise Precious got punched and bit making him run away. "Wow your one tough little hamster. Wish I was brave as you when trying to make some friends. Some kids think I'm a weirdo...but Mom and Daddy says always use kindness. I'm naming you Ms.Puffcheeks you like that name?" She smiled.

Her yes was a happy chirp. When Zoey had gotten to school and when it was lunch time she tried to get a seat with a group of kids that might talk to her when she tried a group of girls they did not welcome her so well.

"Hey look it's pig tails girl! A random girl with blonde hair and a pink beautiful dress laughed.

Zoey tried to ignore the mean comment. "Can..I sit with you guys?" She smiled.

They smirked one named Rose smirks. "Sure." When Zoey had walked passed her Rose had tripped her making her fall face first into her lunch she whippers embarrassed hearing all the kids laughing at her. She slowly tears up and trys to clean up most of the food out of her hair and face she rain off crying. "Why can't I just move away from this town? I hate being picked on I down have a single friend hear." She wiped her tears with her knees to her chest she hearr a small chirp come out of her backpack. "Huh?"

She unzipped her bag seeing a small ball of fur moving and chirping being Ms.Puffcheeks who jumped in Zoey lap and cuddled her smiling.

"Awww. Did you sneak in my bag so I wouldn't be lonely?" She asked, the baby Hamster nods.

The flashback ends.

Zoey smiled with some crying wiping her tears away looking at a picture of her and Ms.Puffcheeks. "You were a good friend Ms.Puffcheeks I miss you so much. But I'm not gonna loose anyone else I love especially Mike!" She put on a brave face and knocked on Cameron's door he answered it. "Hi Cameron can you help me get Mike back?"

Cameron smiled. "Sure Zoey I have a few ideas of how we could communicate with Mike. But were gonna have to trick Mal to fall for it." Cameron had two headsets of device of some sort.

Back with with Mal who was trying to sleep he kept hearing a small kind hearted voice sounding like his own but less fearful. "You don't want to do this. You and Mike could be friends again, brothers." Mal sat up growling.

"He needs to pay. Ugh! I think that girl is making me hear things I hate Mike, and his geeky self." He crushed Mike's clock and slams ducked it in the trash. But deep down inside Mal's heart he didn't want to hurt his bestfriend.
