(Medkit's POV)
A couple weeks ago...

Me and Subspace walk together in the Crossroads, heading towards the mall. "Hey, you think they sell any poison at that store over there?" Subspace asked excitedly. I stopped and looked at him awkwardly. "I doubt it."

"It'd be really nice if I didn't have to make it all the time..." Subspace sighed disappointingly. As we walked ww passed by some stores full of candy, clothes, plants, and other random items they sold here in the Crossroads. As we pass by an alley way, the two of us notice three much younger phighters blasting music and doing graffiti on the side of the building wall. Subspace shot the three a dirty look. I gently hit his arm and we start walking again.

"Ugh, this generation is so noisy and weird." Subspace muttered. I rolled my eyes at him. I stop at the sight of a pharmacy and smile. Wouldn't hurt to go restock on my medicine.

I walk over to the entrance of the pharmacy but a loud scream comes from behind me. I swing my head around and see Subspace holding a phighter with a skateboard in a chokehold. It was one of the young phighters we'd seen in the alleyway. The phighter lets out a soft cry for help. I run towards Subspace shouting "SUBSPACE YOU LUNATIC!!"

I stop in my path as the two other phighters from the alleyway run towards them. One had blue horns and held a rocket launcher while the other one had a green visor and a boombox. The one with the boombox punched Subspace in the back of the head. Subspace swung around, throwing the one with the skateboard at him, causing them both to collapse onto the ground. "SKATEBOARD, BOOMBOX!" The one with the rocket launcher screamed. He clenched his fist and yelled "YOUR GONNA REGRET MESSING WITH THEM!"

In an instant, a blue light wizzes by and shoots Subspace in the leg. Subspace yells out in pain. The young phighter charged towards him, tackling him. As he was about to land a punch, Subspace grabbed his wrist and twisted it. They winced in pain and slipped their wrist out of Subspace's hold, shaking it. Subspace grabbed him and threw him to the floor, kicking an punching him.

I ran towards the two, shouting at Subspace. I grab him by the back of his shirt and try to pull him away, but he was too determined. "UGH, SUBSPACE! GET.. OFF.. HIM!" I struggle to get him off the young phighter. Suddenly, Subspace let go of his grip and fell backwards onto me. I angrily shoved him off and stood up.

I look at the phighter lying on the ground. Blood was streaming from his mouth and nose. He started crying. "Boombox... Skateboard..." He rasped before blacking out. His two friends ran over to him worriedly, kneeling beside him.

I turn to Subspace angrily and shout "SUBSPACE HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!" Subspace stared at me with blood from the other phighter splattered on his face. "That dumb skateboard kid nearly ran over me, so I reacted like a normal phighter should." Subspace defended himself. "UGH, YOU IDIOT! IT'S NOT NORMAL TO TRY AND START FIGHTS WITH A KID!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THAT YOU PYSCHO!" I yelled.

The boombox and skateboard phighter stared at us fearfully. A brief moment of silence falls between us before a faint ringing comes from Subspace's pockets. He pulled out his phone and answered. After a short moment, Subspace puts his phone back in his pocket. "Hyperlaser needs me at the lab, toodles." He casually walked away, as if he hadn't nearly murdered another person.

I stare in disbelief. My anger was overflowing now. I turn to look back at the three phighters. The skateboard kid was crying beside his friend, worrying about him. I walk over. The boombox kid frantically stands up and faces me. "I'm not gonna do anything to you, just, let me help him." I said calmly.

They hesitated and nodded nervously. I knelt beside the wounded phighter and took a cloth from my suitcase. I wipe away the blood from his face and throw it away. I took out a glowing blue diamond and placed it in the phighter's palm. The two other phighters watch in awe as I worked my magic. The blue diamond dissolves in his hand and he seems to return to normal. The skateboard kid starts to cry tears of happiness. "Oh thank you!" They said, hugging me. I awkwardly look at them. "Sorry..." They mumbled, backing away. They the kid with the boombox smiled. "Thank you." He said nodding. "Of course, it's what I do."

The two phighters lifted up the other one who was still passed out and disappeared around the corner. I grab my suitcase and walk away. Mad thoughts still rushed through my head.
I wouldn't forgive Subspace ever again after that.
