"Where's that other Creepymon you were talking about that was waiting for someone to come?"

Your question either didn't reach Laughing Jack or you were just being ignored because the clown only kept looking around the woods without giving you an answer. "Uhh hello? You heard me right?"

"Yes yes, and I'm looking now. It should be around somewhere, as I can still sense them."

You hoped Laughing Jack was sure there was another Creepymon around, because when he had first mentioned it, he had gotten your hopes up and you were now eagerly looking forward to making your first catch. "Is your senses telling you we're getting close to it or....?"

"It's telling me that....we're close! Now stay back!"

You jump at the sudden alarm in his voice and before you could make a move, you see a flash of yellow streak across the trees above. You watch with a fast beating heart and your eyes frantically wander the treetops to see if you could catch sight of the figure again. "Creepymon!?"

"Yeah, now hide somewhere before-"

You didn't catch the rest of Laughing Jack's sentence before the yellow stream you saw before bolted towards you from above and slammed you down into the ground. "Gahh-!" You shout when you feel a palm slam your head back into the dirt, and you see a person holding you down, a knife raised above you.

They wore a dull yellow hoodie with the hood over their head and a black mask with an upset expression covering their face, as well as black gloves covering their hands. "JACK!!!!" You yelled at the top of your lungs, but your Creepymon was already after the intruder before you could finish your call.

Laughing Jack tossed the hooded one off of you and scowled at him as he rolled onto the ground. You backed away quickly while reaching for your pocket knife, and watched as the hooded one quickly picked itself up and lunged at Laughing Jack. The clown raked his claws across the chest of the intruder once it was close enough strike him.

The hooded one shouted out in pain and dropped to the floor, but despite the injury Jack gave it, they continued to try and pin Jack with their knife. "You look like the one that doesn't know when to quit!" Laughing Jack chuckled, grabbing the arm of the hooded one when they miss and throwing them into the ground behind him. "I won't quit till you're dead."

They get up again and barrel into Laughing Jack before he could turn around. The hooded one quickly slashed at Laughing Jack and began to repeatedly stab him in the back while Jack was still stunned from the initial attack. "Jack!" You scream when you see him fall to his knees and the other Creepymon continued to stab him.

Laughing Jack reached back and gorged his claw-like hands into the other Creepymon to fling them off of him. You hear the hooded one gag and sound like he was coughing up blood once he hit the ground. Laughing Jack looked like he could barely pull himself up, and he was bleeding out from all over from how many times the intruder stabbed him.

"Jack..." You say, removing yourself from the spot you had laid low and running over to your Creepymon. "Stay back {y/n}..." He muttered lowly when you get to him. "You look like you took out the other Creepymon...it's alright..." You say worriedly, "but you're in horrible shape, we need to get you help."

You wrap an arm around his back but look at him confused when he begins quietly chuckling. "I don't need help, I'll be fine, just you watch..."

You notice that one of the slash marks on his neck was beginning to disappear. Slowly, the other wounds began to go away as well. "You can heal yourself..." You murmur, a smile beginning to form on your face. "That's amazing-you should've told me this before!"

Jack began laughing again, but quickly stopped when motion came from the other Creepymon again. You glance over at it and it slowly raises its head to you and Laughing Jack. "I'm...n-not....finished..." The male sounding Creepymon hissed, beginning to push itself up off the ground. "Get back," Jack growled, pushing you behind him.

Man, this ones strong to still be standing like that. It'd be a miracle if I could actually catch him and gain him on my team...

The Creepymon removed their mask and wiped the blood that was pouring down their face with their sleeve, turning the arm of their yellow hoodie red. He smirked, then suddenly dashed at Laughing Jack, knife raised yet again.

You frowned and shouted while reaching into your bag, "Laughing Jack, knock him out already!"

On your word, Laughing Jack grinned and raised his hand just as the hooded one got closer. The Creepymon was too late to stop and slammed right into Jack's fist, immediately getting knocked out from the punch to the face.

"Killersphere, Go!" You shout , throwing a catching device from your bag at the Creepymon just before he hit the ground. The device bounced off of the hooded ones head and it's body turned to light before being sucked into the capsule. The Killersphere half-heartedly shook before a small click sounded the success of your capture.

"I'm nervous. Should I let him out now? Or should I wait...?"

You were pacing around back and forth with the Killersphere of the Creepymon you had just caught in hand. Laughing Jack sat on the ground, watching you with a bored expression. "You caught the lad. It's not like he can do anything to you now, unless he's a rouge."

"I know that...but still..."

"I'd say you should let him out already. Let's see what this ones all about eh?"

You look over at Laughing Jack, then nod confidently. "Right, let's see who it is."

You take a deep breath before holding up the Killersphere to your face, then you read your arm back and toss it with all your might into the air.

Light from the device pierced the ground and the form of the hooded Creepymon took place. Excitedly, you waited to greet him without having to run and hide from him. However, once his full form appeared, he was sprawled out on the ground, passed out.

"Oh...oops..." You mutter, glancing over at Laughing Jack. "Think we over did it...?" "We did what we had to do to not die," Laughing Jack responded with a shrug.

"We need to get him some serious help. You know any places Jack? Where did grandfather take you and his other Creepymon when you guys got hurt?"

"M-M.A.C.M...."
The voice of the Creepymon you had caught answering your question made you jump and you quickly turn and glare at him. "What? I thought you were knocked out??"

"I'm fine..." He mumbled, slowly sitting up on the ground. He rubbed his face in pain then glanced at you with a hard stare. "The places are called M.A.C.M or Medical Attention For Creepymon. Often hidden away in the corners, rundown areas, or backroads of a city or town. There's one outside these woods, not to far from where we are now."

"Well then we have to get to one right now," You say, slowly easing towards him. "I can help you out if you need it...or I can get you back in your Killersphere?"

He quickly shook his head and scowled, "I hate being trapped in there, I'd rather stay outside. I can walk." He pulled himself up off the ground and glared down at you. "I guess this means you're my trainer now, huh?"

"I guess so. My names' {y/n}, what's yours?"

"I'm called Hoodie, the Stealthy Killer Creepymon."

"You fighting back there? That didn't look like 'stealthy killing' to me~" Laughing Jack chuckled, smirking mockingly at Hoodie. "I was caught off guard by how hideous you look, clown," Hoodie sneered, giving Laughing Jack a dark glare. "Would be great if we could all get along here and hurry to the Creepymon center," You mutter, wanting to avoid having your two Creepymon fight.

"I agree. I'd rather not waste time bickering with a circus act," Hoodie mumbled before beginning to walk off in a certain direction. "Follow me, {y/n}. I'll show you were M.A.C.M is."

You nod and begin to follow Hoodie, but are stopped when Laughing Jack grabs your arm and pulls you back. "I already don't like him lassie..." He whispered, staring distastefully after Hoodie. "Come on Jack, give him a chance, we just got him. Maybe once he's healed, he'll be a lot nicer towards you."

Laughing Jack scoffed and crossed his arms, and you sigh, reaching and pulling him behind you as you follow the path of Hoodie to the Creepymon center.
