The Adventures of Royce!

Chapter 28: 4th Of July Special II!

Royce: "Yeah, OKay then~ Oh my, look whom arrived; I don't suppose you're here for crumpets and tea?"

Phoebe: "Nope, I only came here for my husband," Phoebe tells her Candy ally, as she becomes shocked from seeing her husband's leg horribly broken, snapped in half and wrapped in bandages, "What th~ What did you do to my husband?!" Phoebe yelled out of arrogance, being irritated, and from her losing her patience. Readying a fireball.

Phoebe: "Better start talking Peebs, or there won't be any part of you to burn," Peebs then looks towards Phoebe's husband, "Are you OKay, Honey?" Phoebe asked her husband as she approached him, only to make an attempt to slap her hand away from him, burning Royce's hand as a result.

Royce: "Ahhh!!! my hand! It~ it hurts REAL bad! I've become~" Royce began screaming from the severe Second-Degree Burns inflicted upon by slapping Phoebe's fiery hand. "Honey, I think I've become... become..." Royce kept stuttering, only for Phoebe to understand and figure out what her husband was trying to get at and say.

Peebs: "I~I, no, no, no, no, this can't be real! You... you're suffering from... from~ ELEMENTAL WITHDRAWAL!!!" Phoebe  freaked out, confusing Peebs and Ruby.

Ruby: "I have no clue what your Human is talking about, do you know what he is talking about, Cynthia?" The Espeon asked Cynthia as Ruby was wanting an explanation. Only for Phoebe to ask something of, or rather from Cynthia.

Phoebe: "Do you still have that Blood-Pack, Cynthia? That's IF you still have it, that is." Cynthia brings out an empty, already used Blood-Pack. "It's~ It's already empty? Oh boy! Uhmm..." Phoebe then comes up with an idea of her own. "Peebs, I have an idea, but I need your help, we're going to need your science instruments. Also, Cynthia, give Royce his Symbiote back, I know you're in possession of it. Royce needs it to heal up while Peebs and I look for a solution to get rid of Royce's loss of his Elemental powers". Phoebe explained to the Sylveon, while the two left to figure out to why Royce lost his powers. Cynthia nodded, resulting in a separation from Venom. She convinced the Symbiote to leave her body and return to its original host: Royce.

Meanwhile, with Peebs and Phoebe...

Peebs: "Sooo... what's so special about your 'Husband'? And if as to why he has lost his powers?" Peebs asked as Phoebe pinned up a picture of her husbands blood before he lost his abilities and after he lost his Elemental abilities.

Phoebe: "This..." Phoebe slaps two fire-proof posters onto one of the lab walls. "This is BEFORE he lost his powers. The blood present within his System shows an EXTREMELY large amount of Mutagenic agents, resulting in uncontrollable, somewhat stable mutations. Strangely enough; his mutations have been stable. Now THIS is AFTER he lost his powers; see the lack of Mutagenic agents here? This suggests that Royce's cells have become genetically (un)stabilized". Peebs stared at Phoebe in surprise as the last time Peebs saw Phoebe, she barely knew anything as a Princess, but when Phoebe came back, she becomes a somewhat intelligent wife and young woman.

Peebs: "How did you... what? I mean... never mind. I'll go and get my equipment." Peebs replies speechlessly as she goes to get her lab coat and begins getting to work after getting her PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), an Electron Microscope and a syringe for extraction of DNA samples. "Before I extract ANYTHING for testing, I will need consent, your consent, to be exact."

Phoebe: "I give you my consent, now I want something in return..." Phoebe offered.

Peebs: "What? What do you want in return?"

Phoebe: "Today's considered the Fourth of July, my husband and I want some Fireworks that are Fire-Safe but are soluble~ I mean safe for me to be around, but are/is also safe for him when and IF he sets it off."

Peebs: "Thank you, will do! I'll see what I can do."

2 1/2 Hours Later...

Peebs: "I have finished my experimental serum, I do not know of what effects the serum will have, nor will I know what will happen if the Mutations become unpredictable. Also... Here're the Fireworks you asked for."

Phoebe: "Thank you Peebs, thank you for the Fireworks. This'll be a SPECIAL night for both of us!"

Meanwhile, with Royce...

Royce: "Thank gosh, my leg is finally fixed. Too bad it's the Fourth, man I also wished I had a tent and some fireworks to celebrate the Fourth of July!"

Cynthia: "Royce..." Cynthia tapped on Royce's shoulder, "I have a tent," Cynthia then brought out a small, portable, hand-held tent. Royce saw this and urged the Sylveon to jump onto the table with him. She jumps up on the table, gives the tent to Royce, and begins getting her head rubbed from Royce.

5 Hours Later... [at night]

Phoebe: "Sooo... you think the fireworks are pretty?" Phoebe asked her husband, earning (a) positive feedback from Royce.

Royce: "They ARE pretty."

Phoebe: "Yeah..."

Royce: "But I think you are prettier than the fireworks you are firing off and going into the skies." Then Royce started becoming cold, "Honey, I got a question; do you think you'd keep me warm while I sleep? Like you'd maybe join me for tonight?" Royce asked his wife, whom was overjoyed to hear.

Phoebe: "Yes Honey, now that the fireworks are all done, let's get ready to go and sleep." The married couple enjoyed the rest of their night, enjoyed their sleep and nothing bad happened.

The Next Day...
