Chapter 12 - The (Downright Painful) Piece of the Puzzle

FAIR WARNING: This chapter gets a little graphic! Please proceed with caution!

"Wait, Goldie! You are in no condition to stand up to someone." Galaxy said, pointing at the huge cut on his arm.

"Since when did I..." Goldie said, staring at the cut.

"It wasn't there before Gavin took London, I'll say that..." Harley pointed out.

The cut begins to close.

"What the hell...?" Galaxy said, pointing at the cut again.

"Being a chaos god has it's perks, Galaxy." Goldie remarked.

"We aren't even gonna go into that." Galaxy said, facepalming.

Goldie begins to get a bit fidgety.

"Hey." Alyssa said, putting her hand on Goldie's shoulder.

"We'll find him. You two will get to make out soon enough." Alyssa said, smirking.

"They already have." Galaxy said, laughing

"WE MISSED IT!?" Harley and Alyssa screamed at the same time.

"Nope! I got a recording of it right here!" Galaxy said, pulling out her phone.

"How did you-" Goldie asked, very confused.

Galaxy shows Harley and Alyssa the night London and Goldie kissed.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Harley and Alyssa squealed.

Goldie flattens his ears.

"You guys are never gonna let this go are you?" Goldie angrily asked.

"Never." They all said at the same time.

"You two as well?!" Goldie said, looking at Darla and Scarlett.

"Oh yeah, we all ship it, honestly." Darla said.

"Obviously. You two are like, so perfect for each other." Scarlett said, teasing him.

Goldie's ears twitch.

"Dude, what is up with your ears?" Galaxy asked.

"Trying to see if I can hear London and/or Gavin. You guys think I don't have bear-like instincts." Goldie explained.

"Oh yeah. That makes sense." Darla sarcastically said.

Everyone looks at Darla.

"What? Are you guys really that sensitive?" Darla asked.

Darla feels a cold breath down her neck. She quickly turns around only to see Gavin standing there.

"Personal space much, you perverted 15-year-old?" Darla mockingly said.

Gavin puts his hand on Darla's shoulder.

"I'm not interested in you. You're nothing without you're friends, Darla." Gavin said with a deep voice.

"At least I have friends." Darla remarked.

Gavin throws a punch at Darla but ultimately missed. Darla grabs Gavin's arm and suplexes him.

"Oh god, I forgot women can fight now!" Gavin said, grunting whilst being very sexist.

"WHY I OUTTA-" Galaxy said, running up to Gavin.

Galaxy full-force punches him in the stomach. Gavin gets knocked back and clenches his stomach area.

"Yeah! Next time you say something like that, make sure they aren't powerful women that can easily kick your behind." Darla remarked.

"Heheheh..." Gavin laughs.

Gavin looks at Goldie whilst heavily breathing cuz he got the wind knocked out of that stupid mouth of his.

"You won't get him back. You are all gonna regret what you just did." Gavin said, teleporting away.

"Next time, we'll get him for sure." Goldie said with confidence.

"Yeah, and it's a good thing y'all lowered his mental defenses cuz I got my telepathy to work on him. He went to Hardoak Road...uuuuuhhh....The second house on the left! And that's where London is being held, too!" Harley said happily.

There are only two houses on that street and they are really far down there." Galaxy said, pointing at a riverbank.

"Well then..." Goldie started.

"Let's go that far." Goldie said, teleporting everyone to the exact location Harley described.

"Damn it, Lilith! Make your damn potion already so we can get out of here!" Entity shouted.

"Potion-making takes time, Entity." Lilith said calmly.

Lilith is a Dark Witch. She wears a purple cloak and black clothes. She also has glowing purple eyes. She is extremely good-looking, too so we all know where that's going.

London had his powers activate as soon as Gavin grabbed him. When his powers activate, He is not London anymore. He is, instead, joined together by IL and Icey; representations of the two emotions he can't control: Anger and Joy. They can unfuse and fuse (join together and separate) at will.

London struggles in the chair. He is tied down with special chains that does not allow IL and Icey to unfuse.

"What does IL even stand for anyways?" Entity asked Lilith.

"Ink London. He was brought up from the 6th level of hell. What this substance actually is, is a mix of 57% Tar and 43% Ink." Lilith explained.

"Is that why it's so thick?" Entity asked.

"Bingo." Lilith remarked.

"IL, tell me what you know about the tar dimension. If you don't I'll be forced to separate you from Icey." Lilith said walking up to the unstable London.

"I-I'll n-n-never tell y-you." London said, glitching.

His physical form is extremely unstable as the chains are forcing Icey and IL together and they can't unfuse. IL and Icey are polar opposites, so forcing them together is not a very great idea.

"Oh, what's wrong? Can't keep yourself together?" Lilith wickedly laughed.

"Stop this. I d-d-don't know what i-information you w-want, but you aren't g-g-g-going to get i-it!" London said, glitching even more.

"Oh, Icey...you were always so protective of IL...I don't know why you still enjoy hanging out with that freak." Lilith said.

"Because he's nothing like you, that's for sure." London remarked.

"That's it!" Lilith angrily said.

Lilith unties the glowing purple chains and London unfuses into IL and Icey. She ties them up while their unconscious.

"Gavin! Control Icey. I'll take care of IL." Lilith said, pointing at Icey.

Icey wakes and his hair raises on end and Gavin is right in his face.

"Miss me?" Gavin said, putting his hand on Icey's leg.

IL opens his mouth and an inky-black hand comes out and slaps Gavin in the face.

"Don't lay your filthy hands on him, you perverted freak!" IL yells demonically.

"Oh, but why would I want to do that?" Gavin said as he gets closer to Icey.

Icey begins to cry.

"I forgot how sensitive you were...I really like that." Gavin said, biting his bottom lip.

Gavin begins to kiss Icey's neck.

The hand IL created grabs Gavin by the neck and lifts him in the air proceeding to choke Gavin.

Lilith cuts off the hand and proceeds to pick it up. IL screams demonically whilst breathing heavily.

"Thank you, IL! That's all I needed!" Lilith said with a demonical smile.

"You tried...I really appreciate that..." Icey said as his voice cracks.

The door bursts open.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Lilith angrily yelled.

Goldie spots IL and Icey unfused.

"I'm here to take back what's mine." Goldie said, pointing at IL and Icey.

"We aren't yours." IL and Icey said at the same time.

"No, but, London is." Goldie said.

They both look at each other, shrug, and nod.

"I think I'll keep this cutie with me..." Gavin said, poking Icey's nose.

Icey glares at him and closes his eyes. He exhales slowly. Silence is heard for a minute and then thunder rumbles in the distance.

"Did you already forget...?" Icey said as his eyes glow a bright blue.

A sudden crash of thunder is heard and as wind begins to pummel the house.

"LILITH! YOU FORGOT ABOUT HIS ABILITY TO CONTROL THE WEATHER?!" Entity screamed.

"I DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD THE ABILITY TO DO SO!" Lilith screamed back

Goldie looks outside only to see a tornado heading right for them.

"EVERYONE TAKE COVER!" Goldie yelled, getting under a table.

The tornado completely levels the house. It took Entity, Lilith and Gavin with it. The storm begins to pass.

Everyone begins to emerge from the rubble.

"ICEY, THAT WAS AMAZING! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD CONTROL THE WEATHER!" IL yelled in joy.

IL runs up to Icey and hugs him.

"When I see Gavin again, I'll do more than murder him for you..." IL said, putting his hand on Icey's face.

"I did that just for you..." Icey said happily.

They begin to glow and fuse back together. London returns to normal and his power deactivates.

"London!!" Goldie shouts.

He runs up to London and hugs him.

"I was so worried! Did they hurt you?" Goldie asked quickly.

"No, no. I'm fine. Did they hurt you?" London asked.

"Who cares?!" Goldie said, starting to cry tears of joy.

"I do!" London said, hugging Goldie.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw.." Everyone said at the same time.

"So what do we do now?" London asked.

Goldie looks at the thunderstorm Icey created.

"We wait and see." Goldie said, looking at the tornado underneath the base of the thunderstorm.

The tornado is in a field of trees and corn.

"DAMN YOU, LILITH!" Entity yelled from inside the tornado.

"I CAN'T GET OUT OF THIS. THIS TORNADO IS TOO POWERFUL!" Lilith screamed.

The tornado begins to break apart and dissipate.

They all fall and hit the ground.

"We need to be more aware of their powers next time..." Entity said.

"Ya think, dingus?!" Gavin screamed.
