There was a soft knock on the spruce door, as Impulse was setting up the dinner table. If had just been him and Zedaph, but it was nice. Tango always used to help him set it up... So, as he was carrying a shiny white plate, he halted. A soft knocking on the door interrupted him from any thoughts prior. He wasn't expecting anyone- Zed wouldn't be home until dark, and if anyone was coming around they'd always notify him wether if be by letter or a previous encounter with them.

So, Impulse slowly approached the door. Turning the knob, he got a good look at the man standing there. Golden locks, deep red eyes, devilish horns- The man dropped his plates in utter shock.

Standing before him was Tango, who he hadn't seen in years. He just went missing, and him and Zed searched for so long... but here he was right now. A soft awkward smile on his face, as he stuttered to talk. His long lost friend was more messy since he last recalled, and his skin tattered with battle scars.

"H-Hey Impulse—- It's... been a while, huh..?"

Impulse proceeded to give him a hard slap to his face. So hard it left a red mark. "That's for leaving me and Zed alone and distressed for years! You abandoned us!"

Tango took a step back, "Impulse- I'm sorry, I didn't-"

Impulse then proceeded to embrace the demon, hugging him tightly. "And that's for finally coming back. We thought you were dead, I-.... I missed you." His grip around his friend tightened, as if he were afraid that he'd disappear before him again.

Tears began to well up in Impulse's eyes as the man buried his face into Tango's shoulder. He let out a muffled, "We missed you so much. Please.. don't leave again......" Although it was harder to hear, his voice quivered. Reduced to nothing but soft whimpers. Impulse hadn't wanted to sound pathetic, but someone presumed dead had suddenly appeared at his doorstep.

"Impulse-"

"Yeah?"

"I need to get something off my chest?"

"What?"

"Scar said Doc was the killer and he had to put him down, didn't he?"

"Yeah-"

"That's a lie. I... Scar is the killer- I helped him—- but.. Recently, I became a little more.... scared of him. He's become obsessed and I don't know what to do."

"W-What..?"

"Listen Impulse, he's gone crazy and I'm lost."

"We need to tell the others-"

They were gonna try and take his light away from him, weren't they?

Grian was the only one he had left to care about. The only one that was so kind to him, like his true mother and father. Like Cub. They couldn't do that..! No! The world takes everything away from him. It ruins everything.
