You See What You Want To See

In Control

The animation above is just something I've been working on for the last two weeks. It's kind of rushed but I think it turned out pretty cool :)

Anti watched in horror as Actor gripped Chase by his hair, making him grunt in pain, "Your little drunkard friend here was just trying to insult me! I think he's earned some punishment! Don't you think?!"

Anti could barely keep his head lifted but croaked out, "N-no. Pl-please I. . . . I"

"I know we agreed you'd take the punishment. . . " Actor grinned devilishly, "But did you REALLY believe me?" he laughed, filling the theater with the echoing sounds of his mocking, his followers joining in.

Actor pulled out a knife.

The other egos shouted through their tape and Dark yelled at his enemy, "Actor, don't! It's me you want, isn't it!? You can hurt me just leave them alone! Stop it!" he even tried to pull out of the restraints again but it was no use.

'Sam was right' Anti thought, 'But he said. . . .he said I could do it. . . the only way. . .but how? I'm scared'

One of the cultists that were still in the room with him chuckled, "Your brother's gonna die, little pig"

Actor put the knife to Chase's throat, "I seem to recall you having a scar on your neck, Anti. Since you seem so close to all of your 'brothers' now. . . why don't we make them all match!?"

Sean watched in horror as Actor playfully barely cut Chase's throat, a few drops of blood escaping.

"S-stop it!" Anti coughed weakly, already starting to losing consciousness again, "No"

But he could feel rage inside of him burning. He knew something was coming. Was he ready to control it? Could he?

He could remember all the times he couldn't. When he'd just snap for no reason and hurt the ones he cared about or a lot of the times even innocent people he didn't know! The screams echoed in his head, shrieking. Blood was everywhere in his head.

But looking into Chase's eyes and the fear in all of his brother's and Dark.

He could feel something like lava inside of him, urging to burst like a volcano. Like lightening breaching from the clouds.

A few sparks flicked off of Anti.

Chase and him never really got along very well until a few days ago but the last couple of days had been pretty special.

They had learned so much about one another. How similar they actually were. The pain they both shared. The pain they all shared together. Their group hug came to mind. The kids. His fans.

And Sean. It wasn't his fault after all that he was like this. But he blamed himself for it harshly. He had nothing to do with Sean and yet everything to do with him. How were they connected yet created so differently? But somehow it all made sense.

They were family. That was just it. They were family . . . no matter how fucked up they were.

Actor's laughter sounded in his head again and Anti's rage began to vibrate within him, causing him to glitch out a bit. Actor just thought he was having a fit before his death.

"Don't worry Anti. . . .You'll see your brothers in whatever fucking afterlife you're going to. Or perhaps not. Who knows? I'll never die. But you all will!"

He turned back to Chase who had fear in his eyes but also peace of mind, 'Wherever I'm going, I'll follow you, Anti. We're birds of a feather, after all. I just wish . . . I wish I had gotten to spend more time with all of you. . . instead of drinking so much. With my brothers, Stacey and the kids. . . . and you, Anti.'
