One, Two . . He's Coming For You

Part 13: We Have to Fight

"Well well . . . . Looks like you've all been very BUSY while I've been getting stronger . . . . . too bad . . . that whatever you lot have up your sleeves . . .  won't be NEARLY enough."

Anti shoved Chase behind him but was now frozen to the spot. The last time Antisepticeye was here, he killed everyone he ever cared about.

Jackie circled around the room, assessing him and trying to get a little closer to one of the Pheno guns, 'Chase is too far away from them. If I can get to Henrik and grab the gun, maybe I can stun him and-'

Antisepticeye grinned at him, catching his eye, "Where do you think you're going? Do you think I'm stupid, hero?"

Jackie halted but kept his gaze locked on to his. He wouldn't back down or freeze up this time.

And apparently, Marvin thought the same thing, aiming a blast straight at him from his fingertips.

Antisepticeye just glitched out of the way seamlessly, though, "So silly, you all are. You think you can win. NO ONE . . can defeat me now. Not one of you . . . and certainly not all of you together. Isn't that right, Anti? You already know"

He snapped his eyes to Anti, who shuddered and submissively turned away.

Anti just couldn't look him in the eyes. He just couldn't do it. He'd just re-live his pain all over again.

'I should have never allowed them to stay here! But I missed their presence so much . .. I'm so-'

"Pathetic" Antisepticeye snarled at him, "How we're even the same derivative is beyond me. You're so cowardly, you can't even look me in the eye or speak to me. No wonder they all died last time. With you protecting them, they were doomed from the start"

Anti flinched, clenching his eyes shut and still shivering like mad.

Chase could just see Anti's back but it was clear he was terrified. Even more so than him, 'But . . . he's like HIM. . . isn't he? Does he really think he stands THAT little of a chance against him?!'

Antisepticeye slowly looked over to Sean who was watching everything glued to the back of the couch with wide eyes.

The glitch smirked down at him, "Seems everything was brought to me on a silver platter. You lot really are dumb aren't y-"

But before he could say anything more, Marvin shot a spell from his fingertips. Not aimed at Antisepticeye himself but SEAN!

'What the FUCK!?' Sean shut his eyes in that moment, thinking he'd either die or finally 'hopefully' wake up but when he opened his eyes again, he was just as shocked as everyone to see Antisepticeye in front of him.

The mad man growled at them all, having just swat Marvin's spell away, "Honestly . . .. I really didn't think you'd have the guts. Guess I was wrong about one thing, huh, Magician?"

Antisepticeye suddenly felt a familiar energy behind him and turned to see Jackie with the Pheno gun ready to fire.

"TAKE THIS, ASSHOLE!!!" he fired the gun but just as before, Antisepticeye thought HE was being aimed for only for Sean to be the target!

Antisepticeye deflected the shot just in time with a shield of his own making with the Pheno energy he stole. Now he was pissed. He had to resort to that? Saving SEAN!?

'Time for a little reverse psychology' Antisepticeye was the one to grab Sean now, holding him to him with an arm over his throat.

Sean tried to struggle but that was WAY too pointless.

Antisepticeye smirked at them all, "You lot knew I'd protect him . . . . you idiots don't want to die or else you'd have let me kill you a long time ago. . . eh, Marvin? But I got a little something up my sleeve." he whipped out a knife and put it to Sean's throat.
