Chapter 25

"Jevin? Plasma believes you're talking about Master Jevin," said the slime man. Iskall stared at him, confused. 

"Oooookayyy?" They stared at each other, "Yeaaaaaaaaah I'm still confused." Plasma stood there, his face blank. He then looked at the other two, who stared at him. 

"You're Plasma?" X said, "You're the one Grian and Tango told us about." Plasma's eyes narrowed. 

"So you don't want to kill Snowfall." 

"Well, not kill him-" 

"SNOWFALL HURT MASTER JEVIN. HE WILL PAY." Plasma hissed threateningly.

"Wait! We can help you!" Joe exclaimed, "We can help Master Jevin!" 

"Yeah!" X said, "And when Master Jevin comes back, he can tell us if killing Snowfall is a good idea!" Plasma looked at them. 

"Just follow us and we can help!" Joe exclaimed as they started walking towards the camp. Plasma followed them as Iskall trailed behind. 

So Jevin has an alter ego of sorts? Iskall thought, Kinda like Etho and Stress...They turned out to be evil though, wouldn't be surprise if this dude was evil too... They arrived at the camp, the others a bit surprised to see Plasma with them. 

"So Plasma, can you tell us what happened? To get Jevin hurt?" X asked, looking at the blue slime. Plasma looked at the ground. 

"Plasma doesn't remember exactly, but Plasma remembers that Snowfall tried to take Master Jevin. Plasma scared him off by fusing with Master Jevin's body, but Plasma feels that Snowfall will come back." The group was quiet, as Plasma finished his story. 

"So, if Jevin is hurt," X started, "Can I see him? I might be able to heal him." Plasma hesitated. Without warning, he un-fused. Mumbo caught Jevin's body in a flash, the blue slime falling limp on Mumbo's arms. Plasma, now a floating blob of blue slime, glanced at his master, his expression full of worry. Mumbo set the slime man on the ground, as X checked his pulse. He sighed in relief.

"It's okay Plasma," He said, looking at the floating ball, "He's unconscious, I'm sure he'll wake up in a bit." He looked up at Mumbo. "Mumbo, can you set up one of the tents? We can't leave Jevin out here." Mumbo nodded, as sped off to finish the tent in seconds. X lifted Jevin's body and brought it into the tent. Plasma followed, staying with Jevin as X left. 

"He's kinda cute," Scar said, "I don't know why I had to say that." Iskall frowned.

"But we can't let our guard down. Sure, he might seem he's loyal to Jevin, but he can change."

"Yeah," Mumbo said, "But seeing as he's been caring for Jevin this whole time? I don't think that's likely..." It suddenly got cold, making Iskall shiver. 

"Why is it suddenly so cold...?" Zedaph asked, rubbing his arms. Frost formed on the grass and trees, and they could see their breath. Iskall's stomach dropped, as he heard a familiar icy voice. 

"Found you..."

Hayden knocked on Wells's door, the others waiting behind her. She had been stuck in her thoughts on their way there. What just happened to Iskall? Is he gone for good?? Where did he go???

She snapped out of it as she heard the door open. At the doorway stood a tall male, wearing a black sleeve-less top and black shorts. He had long dark brown hair, with blonde tips. 

"HAYDEN!!" Wells exclaimed, his accent heavily British. He hugged Hayden tightly, practically crushing her with his strength. 

"Stop!!" She gasped, "Too- tight-!!" He let go, as Hayden caught her breath. 

"What brings you here?" He asked, glancing at the others. 

"Can we talk inside?" Hayden asked, "It's about souls and such." 

"Of course!" He smiled, as he let them in. His house was quite spacious, the couches lining against the wall faced the TV and a rug was spread out underneath them. Wells glanced over to the fallen angel on the couch, who was staring at his phone. He had dirty blonde hair and a faded red hoodie, black headphones in his ears as he tapped his foot to the beat of his songs.

"This is Grain," Wells said, as he sat down beside the angel, "He's a little troublemaker, he is." He ruffled Grains's hair, making him growl angrily. "So," Wells looked at Hayden as the four sat down on the other couches, "What did you want to discuss?" 

"It's about my friends here," Hayden said, "They're souls and they're looking for their friends. We were wondering if you've seen any. Or have any." Wells sat there, thinking, as Grain spoke up.

"Souls? I saw some," Grain said, "They got captured, I think." Hayden glanced nervously to the other three, who looked back at her worried.

"What did they look like?"

"Uhhhhh one of them had a bandana on his head and a cool gold chain or something and the other was wearing an aqua hoodie. Poor dudes though, they got cornered." He paused, looking at the four of them, "Was that good or bad news...?" 

"Bad," Doc said, "Very, very bad." 

"I hope you're not gonna go after them," Wells said, "They're definitely goners now," 

"You don't know that!" Hayden said, standing up, "Thanks for your help, we better be off now." 

"Hayden. It's not worth it," Wells said seriously, "Knowing the Council, they're probably torturing those poor souls by now." 

"WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE THEM THERE!!" Hayden yelled suddenly, "You're being like Cat, who leaves these souls to be tortured." Wells looked at the ground. He sighed.

"Fine. Just try not to get hurt or anything."

Ari walked into her apartment, not expecting to see anything special. But there, sitting on her bed, was her brother. The very brother who had been missing for a while. The very brother who took care of her now and in her past life. Finn. Her brother. He stared out the open window, his purple eyes sparkling. Although there was blood all over him, he looked majestic. 

"F-finn?" Ari stammered, as Finn turned to look at her. 

"Hi Ari," He said, his voice calming and soft. She ran over to him and hugged him tightly, as if she never wanted him to leave again. 

"Where have you been?" Ari choked, "Are you okay?" She looked at the wounds on Finn's palms, worried. 

"It's not important right now, Ari. I just came by to see if you're okay," He stood up, "I hope Hayden's taking care of you well. Speaking of her, where is she?"

"She's doing...things. I dunno." Ari lied. She knew exactly what Hayden was doing. But she couldn't risk a guard knowing that. 

"Huh. Well, say hi to her for me." He headed for the door, although stopped by Ari. 

"Where are you going?!" She cried. Finn looked back at her, then said quietly, 

"I have some unfinished business to attend to."
