Team FLME Volume 8

Betrayal

After the opening, Damson is seen standing outside the entryway to Volt's old lab within the Citadel. He growls a little bit as he looks around the hallway. Suddenly one of his eyes becomes yellow while the other stays blue.

The Doctor: We should do in.

Damson: NO! Can't you see?! (Chuckles) He'll kill us!

The Doctor: I highly doubt that. You gave him the half-truth.

Damson: He's too smart! He'll kill us and-

The Doctor: I highly doubt the Master would have us killed. We still got our work done and-

Damson: YOU DONT UNDERSTAND!!!

Damson laughs a little as both his eyes become yellow.

The Doctor: Fine then!

The Doctor assumes control and steps forward a little. Damson quickly takes control and together they almost seem to fight over the body they share. They clench their head and slam into the wall, yelling slightly as they each fight for control. They yell again as they are flung into the door and throw it open. They yell again as on the far side of the lab, both Onyx and Lavenza stand. They turn to look at Damson and The Doctor fighting for control.

Onyx: Damson?!

Damson: PLEASE-

The Doctor: MASTER HELP ME!!!

Damson and The Doctor: STOP HIM PLEASE!!!

Onyx and Lavenza look at one another again. Onyx nods and Lavenza goes over to his desk and grabs a syringe and walks over to Damson's body. As Lavenza approaches, Damson sees him and pushes himself back with his legs with some fear.

Damson: NO! Lavenza! Stay away!

The Doctor: Master! You can't-

Damson: Please don't! I don't want to! I don't want to die today!

The Doctor: He won't kill-

Lavenza kneels down and grabs Damson's hair and pulls a little to expose his neck. He injects the syringe into Damson's neck and slowly Damson calms down as his eyes turn into their natural bright blue color. Lavenza stands up as Onyx walks over to him and kneels down in front of Damson.

Onyx: Damson. Are you alright?

Damson: I...(gulps and regains composure) Yes, Master. I am fine.

Onyx: Good.

Onyx offers Damson a hand up which he quickly takes. Onyx walks back to Lavenza's desk as Volt looks over to Damson and follows Onyx. Damson gulps again and quickly follows the two. Damson clears his throat as he approaches Onyx.

Damson: So. What appears to be the plan now?

Onyx: Oh same as ever. Now with Dr. Volt back, we can now move faster with the fusion cannons and begin the assault on Vacuo.

Damson: Dr...Volt? That was my work! MY research and-

Onyx: That syringe was a sterilizing agent meant to put down your other personalities for some time. There is only one I do need. And that's you. Dr. Volt will resume your work and his post as head of science and development.

Lavenza: I will begin work immediately, sir.

Onyx: See to it that you do. I am DONE wasting time. The Guardian is alive, which means he can return. Vacuo is fully aware of our presence and our expeditions into their territory. It is only a matter of time until Theodore rallies what citizens he can for a fighting force and advances. Our objective is now to stab the heart and rip it out. Which is where you come into play, Damson.
