Nightmare Steve's Second Chance

CHAPTER 17 - A Strange Discoveries

(Steve saga Origins Episode - Nightmare Steve Captured Blue Steve)

Magma's P.O.V

Magma let out a small gasp as his back hit the grassy floor. He quickly jumped back on his feet in time to see a giant hole in the floor begin to fill itself up until there were no traces left of it.

"Damn it...Just when I could show him a piece of my mind- OW!"Magma said getting cut off when as he let out a small groan when his left eye flared up in pain. Magma pressed his eye with his hand and immediately threw it back when he felt a liquid rub itself on his hands. As he saw the liquid he rubbed his other eye and was happy to see that there was no blood coming from it.

"Okay...a lot of issues to figure out...Issue number one let's see what's wrong with my eye" Magma thought looking around to see he was near a swamp. Walking over to the edge of the water, Magma looked at his reflection to see the damage. His eyes were still yellow and red but the red seemed to have taken over have of the eye but was slowly turning back to yellow. His left eye had slits as pupils and what was the same problem was that the white of his eyes was black and was turning back to white with some blood like tears. Magma sighed and swiped the seme of the blood away only to be replaced by more blood, but less than the first time. Magma looked around the swamp until he was able to sense Rainbow steve's energy. He was sure that they weren't going to be happy when they saw him. Magma took a deep breath and began his search in the general direction of the energy.

"Rainbow Steve! Elder Blue Steve?" Magma made sure to wipe away the bloody tears every so often feeling like he was forgetting something as he walked around the pools of water.

"Magma!" As soon as he heard the voice of rainbow steve, magma wipes the blood from his face hoping there were no traces left. Rainbow steve ran and gave him a quick hug while grinning s wide he thought that it was going to split his face in half. When rainbow steve pulled back he began to rapid-fire a bunch of questions so fast that it would put yellow steve to shame. Magma smiled fondly, no matter how much he disliked rainbow steve talking his ear off, it meant how healthy and happy he was unlike in the future. The Elder appeared a few seconds later with a relieved expression that fell once he got a good look at his face.

"Magma...what happened? You're bleeding" The elder asked with a concerned expression grabbing magma bloodied yellow and black sleeve. Rainbow steve looked at magma with an alarmed expression and magma sucked in a sharp breath as he ripped his arm from the elder's grip and covered his eye with it. Quickly realizing his mistake, magma dropped his hand and manage to respond without letting his voice betray him.

"Nothing. I just fell while looking for you and scratched my hand" The elder raised a hand and rubbed the corner of his eye, and when he fought his hand back it was covered in small blood droplets. Rainbow steve did the same but with his hand and saw through his lie when he saw no injuries on it.

"What actually happened?" the elder asked with a hint of a demand underneath his question. Magma could feel cold sweat break on his neck as he got a cold glare from both the young and older steve.

"I may have used too much of my powers and I think that I may have overloaded which caused my eyes to bleed" Magma explained leaving out some parts from his explanation. The Elder Blue frowns in narrows his eyebrows

"Overload? That would only happen if-" He paused in his muttering and looked at magma with a sad look. Rainbow steve not knowing much about steves and their powers saw nothing wrong with it so he started to speak about how they had been able to get the location that Blue steve is in.
