'Why am I freaking out?' Anti tried asking himself while he paced, 'It's not like they can fucking DO anything to me!'

Sparks flew off of him, making his electronic devices buzz and heat up a bit.

'It was all Dark's idea anyways! He didn't even tell me whose computer it was! It's not my fault'

But on the inside, he knew it was. He KNEW he couldn't trust Dark and yet he let him manipulate him anyways. . . . .again.

'Fucking bastard emo-cunt' he hissed to himself, 'I'll get him back for this!'

What 'reward' could he possibly have given him anyways!?

'I'm so fucking stupid!' he slammed his fists on the wall, groaning to himself. It was only a matter of time before he was found out.

'Maybe I should run off? Where would I go, though? Plus, I don't have any money.. . . But I could steal some. But Sean would just find me anyways. What will he do? Fucking goddammit, Anti, control yourself! He's not your fucking keeper! He may have created you but he doesn't have control over you!'

Another lie he told himself.

He slid down to the ground, thinking frantically, 'I'm so fucking screwed'

Jackie arrived to the scene of the explosion. It's not what he expected but it was still a problem nonetheless. It appeared as if a barrel had exploded in an alley and someone had called the police.

'That explains the call but something doesn't quite feel right here' Jackie thought.

Just as he came closer to inspect the busted barrel, a strange man popped into existence behind him. . . just watching curiously.

'No one got hurt at least. Could it have been Anti, then? I'm not sure'

Jackie groaned lightly at the whole strange happening when the man behind him finally made himself known.

"Jackie-boy! How've ya been ol' buddy!?"

Jackie flinched but whipped around, "W-wilford!? What in the- what are you doing in Brighton!?"

The pink-mustached man grinned at him coyly, "Well what are YOU doing staring at a lone sizzling barrel?"

"Well I-"

"You aren't going crazy are ya!?" he giggled and pulled out his gun, "Cause I know a way we could reset that"

Jackie took a a breathe and dodged the bullet as Wilford suddenly shot at him.

"Hey now just hold still! You'll come back fresh and new, buddy!-"

"Wilford"

Just as Jackie pulled out his taser, another man made himself known in the shadows.

Wilford pouted, "Oh what now?! I was helping my friend, here, Dark!"

"That's enough" the man came out of the shadows looking as menacing as always, "We have more important things to worry about"

'What in the hell are these guys doing here?' Jackie moved behind the barrel out of the way of the two.

"Oh" Wilford rolled his eyes but put his gun away, "Fine. You always have to ruin all the fun, don't ya? Did you do it then?"

"Yes. It's done. He took the job easier than I thought he would. We should head on home now before we're missed. We have a lot to take care of" the well-dressed man didn't even spare a glance at Jackie.

But the hero wasn't going to let Dark ignore him so easily, "Hey wait just a second! What is the meaning of this!? You can't just come into MY town and create chaos like this! What were you up to?!"

Dark looked over at him in judgement before rolling his eyes lightly, "I suppose it would concern you. . . . he is your 'brother' after all"

"What are you talking about? Explain yourself!" Jackie got braver and stepped closer to the two. Wilford grinned strangely but kept quiet, letting Dark speak.

Dark chuckled, "It would seem that your rebellious friend of sorts wanted more fun than he was prepared for. He asked for this diversion. I think that's all I should really tell you, actually"

"You mean Anti?! Wait, what did that little fuck do this time!?" Jackie was pissed now. So it was him after all?

"Tell me!"

Dark smirked, "You'll find out. . . I'm sure Sean will get a call about it from Mark here rather soon." he bowed slightly, "I'll be seeing you around, hero." 

Like a night-fallen shadow, they were gone, leaving Jackie alone in the dark alley.

'Damn that brat' he thought, 'What the hell did he get himself into this time?'

He clenched his fists tight but he couldn't help also worrying for him, 'If he really did do something so bad that Sean would be called right away . . . Anti . . . .. what have you done?'

-88888888888888888888888888888-

He was in the middle of rendering a let's play when he got the call. He looked down at the caller ID on his phone and didn't expect what the other said told him once he answered.

Once Mark finished explaining what happened to his computer, Sean knew that this was the last straw. Something had to be done. Now.

"Don't worry, man. I'll take care of it. Sorry for damage. You want me to send over money to pay for it through paypal or something?"

"Nah, don't worry about it. This is the man who owns five ovens remember? I can certainly pay for a new computer. Just. . .don't let it happen again, please?"

Sean coughed a little to mask how furious he was, "Oh don't you worry about that. I promise after today, that little shit won't dare step a foot out of line again. I swear it, Mark. I'm sorry again."

Mark sighed on the other end, "No problem. Just don't go too hard on the glitch. He did stop himself from fucking up my last back-ups, after all"

"Yeah, yeah." Sean shook his head to himself. He wasn't going to let Anti get away with this one, "I'll talk to ya later, Mark. Say hi to Amy for me!"

After they said their good-byes, Sean ended the call and breathed in a deep sigh before rolling his eyes back, "God dammit it all Anti. Why are you always like this?"

After his video of the day was finished rendering, he uploaded it and quickly got ready to head out to the Septic house.

'I mean I get why he's like this but it doesn't give him the excuse to act out however he fooking wants. Like a goddamn child, he is. No matter. He'll get what's coming to him this time. Maybe then he'll learn his lesson'

-8888888888888888888-

Meanwhile, Anti was still freaking out about his situation. He stayed in his room, trying hard to stop himself from glitching into another dimension or fucking up any of the electronics in the house.

That's when he heard a familiar voice sound downstairs.

"Alright, where is he?" Jackie's voice.

"Where's who?" that was Marvin's voice.

"You know who. Anti. Something happened today and I KNOW it was him. Can you call Sean for me?"

"Actually, he just called. Said he should be here soon. Must have been something bad if even we don't know what it is first, huh?"

"You're telling me" Jackie groaned, "Brat's gonna be the fooking death of me"

There was a knock on the door and someone answered.

"Where the FOOK is he!?"

'Sean' Anti gulped without being able to help it, 'He sounds pissed. Better act coy. Maybe if I act like I didn't . . . . oh who am I kidding?! Might as well own it at this point! Fook it!'

There was a knock on Anti's door but before the glitch could say anything, it was just forced open anyways with Sean on the other side. If looks could kill . . . . 

Anti sported a sneer, "The fook do Y̵O̶U̴ want? I could have been naked, you know?"

A growl escaped from Sean, "Oh please, I've fooking walked in on you jacking off before, you dick. So tell me . . . what the absolute fuck were you thinking today, Anti?" he walked in and Marvin, JJ, and Jackie were at the door frame watching in curiosity. They wanted to know, too.

"Nothing-"

"Don't you fooking lie to me!" Sean cuffed him upside the head, "Tell me! I want to hear it from you, Anti!"

"J̶a̷y̵s̵u̴s̸!̵ Will ya give me a sec! F̴o̸o̴k̷. . . ." he rubbed his head with a small pout, "It wasn't that bad"

Sean's growl made him reconsider his wording, "I. . .I mean. . . . I didn't mean to anyways. It wasn't my fault"

'There I go again, succumbing to him' Anti hissed in his head, 'But what's he gonna do? Kick me out? Go ahead!'

"Explain yourself" Sean crossed his arms, "If it really wasn't your fault then who's was it?" he sighed, "Anti, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, here, but you gotta work with me!"

"It was Dark." Anti caved, "He asked me to do something for him that the other egos couldn't. I didn't know whose computer it was, though!"

"Funny" Jackie walked the rest of the way in, "Because I spoke with Dark and Wilford just a little bit ago before coming here. Dark said that it was your idea"

"W̸h̶a̴t̴?̷!̷" Anti shot up and his features glitched in anger, "Are ya fooking kidding me!? That lying bastard! He's-"

"Enough" Sean's stern voice was enough to even make Anti quiet down, "Anti . . .you destroyed Mark's computer. Luckily you didn't get to fuck up his last back-up but this can't do unpunished, man. Just admit you did wrong and accept the consequences"

"But I. . ." Anti looked behind Sean. The others just looked as disappointed. 

'They don't believe me?'

"Jack, please" he broke to using Sean's nickname, "You got to believe me. Dark ̶t̸r̵i̸c̵k̶e̶d̷ me! I didn't know whose computer it was! And once I found out, I got out of there and left! I would never have messed up his files and put his career on the line like that!"

There was a bit of silence in the room before Sean sighed, "Anti, I'm sorry but I just don't believe you. You're gonna have to be punished and there's no way of getting out it this time"

The glitch suddenly felt anger course through him, "Oh fuck you! F̶u̶c̵k̴ ̶y̷o̶u̴ ̸a̶l̶l̶!̴ What are ya gonna do to me, huh?! Torture me!? Hit me? Put me in solitude?! Cuff me and keep food and water from me for a few days?! Come on! B̷r̸i̴n̶g̶ ̵i̴t̵!̵"

But Sean looked unfazed, "Marvin" he acknowledged the magician, "Put him in the void. Maybe some time there will make him understand"

Everyone looked confused.

Marvin looked unsure, "Are. . . are you sure?"

Anti didn't looked bothered, "The void!? H̵a̷h̷! As if I can't get out of there myself! I went there a few years ago to challenge that bastard, Dark, in his own terf, what's to say I can't get out again!?"

"Good point." Sean smirked, "Marvin, take away his glitching first so he won't be able to escape"

Without much hesitation, Marvin cast a spell which made Anti dizzy and fall to the floor on his hands and knees, "Guh!" he breathed heavily as his strength left him, "Wh-what the fook?"

This was different now. This changed things. He couldn't even manage a spark.

Marvin raised his hands and chanted and they all watched as a light came from the magician as he prepared the next spell.

Anti's eyes widened in horror, "No! Wait! I-"

Then he was gone.

Into the dark abyss of the void.
