The Legion of the Killjoys

Let War Begin

Scary Party Poison will make more sense at the end!

{Party's POV}

     I sat beside Ghoul's bedside, just staring at his peaceful face. It's been two days since this happened to him. The shield around him has been holding since, thankfully. I had to commend Jinxx on how powerful he was. I still couldn't believe his magic had held for two days. I also couldn't believe I let this happen. Ghoul and I were supposed to have each other's back. I was supposed to keep him safe. Now, he could turn into one of those...monsters.

     I turned as the door opened and Jet came in the room. "Hey, Party. How's it going?" He asked. 

     I smiled and said, "Could be better, but okay, I guess. The infection hasn't spread at all, and he seems to be doing okay. I just wish this never happened," He nodded and took a seat in the chair that was placed beside me. 

     "He'll be okay soon. That's why I came in here. We need you to help with plans to defeat F.E.A.R and BL/IND, since you're one of the ones in charge," Jet explained. I looked at Ghoul, then sighed. 

     "Who's gonna watch him?" I asked. 

     "I offered to. I'm not really needed, not as much as you. Jinxx said that it's fine, and he'll fill me in later," He explained. I rose to my feet, running a hand through my red hair. 

     "Alright. You'll let me know if anything happens?" I asked, already knowing the answer. He smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Jet. I'll be back," I said, giving him a weak smile and leaving the room. 

     I found the others sitting in the dining area, talking quietly. "Hey, where's Gracie?" I asked Kobra, taking a seat beside him. 

     "She's in her room, sleeping," He replied. 

     "Hey, Party." Jake said, waving. Andy, Ashley, Jinxx all nodded a greeting. 

     I nodded back. "So, what are we doing? I personally want this over with as soon as now, so what's going on?" 

     Jinxx spoke up first. "Well, we have a theory that Better Living Industries is in allegiance with F.E.A.R. Control's only priority is to capture and enslave the five of us, so he can return to our world and reestablish his dictatorship. We can't let that happen. He's already established control over Andy. We need to make sure he doesn't completely regain control, while also watching out for the rest of us. That's one priority. We also need to figure out a way to defeat BL/IND and Control together. Any ideas?" He asked. 

     "Well, we can take care of Korse and BL/IND. You guys can handle control. You know how to fight him. You've defeated him before," I suggested. 

     "Yeah, but then Korse will see us coming and know what to expect. And Control knows them. He probably knows all about how they each work. If we take on Control, then he won't know what to expect from us. If they take Korse, he certainly won't know what to expect." Kobra explained. 

     "See, that's where I think you're wrong. If they are working together, it's safe to assume Control has informed Korse about all of our powers, in-depth. Same goes for Korse and the four of you," Jinxx interjected. 

     "Would their guns work on Control and the Shadow minions anyway?" Andy asked. 

     "Yeah, I managed to hit one in the arm when they attacked us. They work," I replied. 

     "Good. I think if we can get enough killjoys together, then we can take care of Control, his minions, and Korse. I think it's better if we stick together as much as we can, since we've supposedly lost our element of surprise anyway," I decided.

     Jinxx nodded. "I think that's a good idea. Kobra and Jet can work on gathering the other killjoys. Any of us can help if they need it. Party, you have Ghoul to take care of, at least until we head into battle," I nodded, wanting immediately to get back to Ghoul. He gave me an understanding smile and nodded his head in the direction of the bedroom. "Go."

     I rushed up and raced back to Ghoul's side. Jet looked up at me before letting out a sigh. "This all needs to end now. It's really tiring, sometimes. The running and risking our lives," he mused. 

     I nodded in agreement as I took my seat beside him once again, my eyes stuck on Ghoul's sleeping form. I barely caught the miniscule twitch of his finger, but I caught it. "Jet, did you see that?!" I asked, hopefully. He shook his head, kneeling beside me and watching closely. Nothing happened. 

     "Come on, Ghoul. Come on, do it again, please," I pleaded. Jet's expression was confused, but went to surprised as Ghoul's finger twitched again. "Go get Jinxx," I ordered. Jet nodded and raced to the door, calling for Jinxx. Jet moved out of the way as Jinxx ran into the room, the others standing behind in the doorway, the curiosity shining on their faces. 

     "What happened?" he asked. 

     "His finger was moving. Ghoul? Ghoul, honey, can you hear me, it's me, Party! Come on, you lazy bum, it's time to get up!" I pleaded. 

     "Party, I don't think..." he was cut off by the sharp and sudden gasp that escaped Ghoul's throat as he opened his eyes, looking around in shock before his eyelids drooped a bit. 

     "Ghoul?" Party asked. He turned to me slowly, eyes scrunched in pain, exhaustion, and confusion. 

     "P-Party? What...What h-happened?" he asked shakily, taking in a deep, gasping breath of air. 

     "We were attacked by Shadow Minions, and one of them hurt you. You're okay, Ghoul, just...get some rest. You'll be okay," I said, a mixture of a sigh of relief and a sob passing through my lips. Ghoul took a deep breath before his eyes closed and he fell asleep.

     Angrily, I turned towards the others, hands balled into tight fists. They all looked really nervous, almost terrified, which was what I wanted right now. "We are going to destroy every last one of them, if it's the last thing I ever do. This is war!"
