Echo watched as the cat backed up, obviously still terrified. "W-where am I?" She asked. "Away from the Laboratory." Cassiel reassured her. "Sit down. We will discuss later." He said, watching as Gluzze went after Trippze.
Echo patted the couch, still guarding Damien's egg as he watched Star and Cliff silently argue in the corner, Star herself close to tears. The cat hesitantly sat down, on edge as screaming went in outside. Azreal growled and went upstairs to the roof.
When Gluzze came back in, Echo noticed that the cat looked scared of her. Echo glanced up at Gluzze. "What happened, are you okay?" He asked as everyone started to calm down. "Yeah, sure." Gluzze said, sitting down and holding her head.
Echo sighed. "Well, it didn't go as planned, but at least the lab is gone and it's getting exposed to the public." He offered. Gluzze didn't move. "They are all dead." She stated lowly as her black spread a tiny bit. He didn't have anything to say to that. He sat in silence, hearing Star break down in the corner. He glanced over, watching Cliff attempt to comfort her as Cassiel stood, his eyes trained somewhere else.
Gluzze walked upstairs and closed the door to her room. Echo watched her go, worried but also knew she probably needed some time. He closed his eyes, trying to make sense of things. After a few minutes, there was all of a sudden a gunshot from upstairs, before a thud.
Echo glanced up. "Guys...!!" Cassiel ran up the stairs, opening the door, Echo right behind him. Cliff and Star froze, not knowing what to think of it. When they got to her room, Gluzze's body was just starting to turn to ash, there was a gun next to her with a hole in her head, blood splattered across the wall.
Cassiel didn't breathe, eyes flicking across the scene. Echo growled. "Damnit, I should've stopped her..." he said, immediately blaming himself. "I'd this.. is this really happening?" He muttered in a whisper, holding his head.
Gluzze's ashes slowly started to form a egg. After it fully formed, a faint blue-green light starting to fade in and out within, he went and picked it up, still a bit shell-shocked. He carried it downstairs and placed it on the couch. Cassiel followed him without a word.

Star had been watching Damien's egg when she heard the gunshot go off. Cliff had gone upstairs to catch some sleep. She froze, watching as Echo and Cassiel rush upstairs. She cursed, punching the couch in frustration. FUCK- not another one of my friends. Why is everyone dying? She thought harshly.
She snapped out of it when she heard a large crack. Her head spin to look at Damon's egg, which was shaking back and fourth. She ran and grabbed a towel from the bathroom, sitting next to the egg. Soon, Damien's hand punched through the egg, and he crawled out. "FUCK!" He shouted.
Star needed the distraction. "Aww, baby's first word." She said, throwing the towel at him. Damien wrapped up in the towel and sat down, only showing his face. "Where is Trippze? Imma kill him." He growled.
Star shrugged to Damien. "He when Gluzze fought then he ran off, then came back again and drove off with his motercycle-" She started. "I'm sorry to intervene, but what the fuck is going on?" Blacklight asked, standing as Echo and Cassiel came back down.
Star turned to Blacklight as Az and Phoenix walked in. "We are all people who are either from or otherwise against the Labratory. Az tried killing Jaguar and saving the subjects, but he got away and we're missing one of us. Trippze hates all of us except Azreal." She pointed to him. "Also take note he and Cassiel," she pointed to Cass next "are overrated gods." "We are NO-" Az started.
Relath walked out of a portal with George floating beside him. "This is the same damned place- George I'm seriously about to snap you in half, and yes, you two are overrated gods." He said, walking into their kitchen and grabbing a bottle of water and walking through the portal again.
George sighed and floated around the living room a bit and screamed. "Wait a minute, where is Razor, he better not be slaughtering orphans again." He said, floating through the portal. Damien looked up. "Seriously, who the hell are those two?" He asked. Blacklight whimpered as she hid behind the couch.
