THIS WILL NOT BE AS WHOLESOME AS OTHER CHAPTERS

THERE IS CHILD VIOLENCE AND ANGST, BUT NO DEATH AND IT'S NOT AS BAD AS MY ANGSTY BOOKS

I TRIED TO MAKE THIS BOOK WHOLESOME BUT THE IDEA CAME TO ME AND I COULDN'T HELP ITTTTT

'Come ONNNN Jevy-Jevy!' Little Beef insisted. 'We needda getta da leepover!'

'Alright, alright. I'm coming.' Jevin sighed, amused by his new small child. 'Do you want to go over in super-speedy Jevin mode?' An excited gasp back. Beef bounded into his parent's arms, excited for what was just elytra flight with a cooler name. The child held on tight as Jevin took to the air, flying over to where Scott and Joel were hosting a sleepover at Cleo's base. 

'Beefeefie!' Little Keralis ran over as they landed inside. 'I an- an sas-sawamamie were TAWKERWING bout you!' Little Xisuma waved over from where he was standing in a fluffy bee onesie, cuddling a bee teddy.

'HELLO BEEFIE BEEFIE!' He shouted. 'ARE YOU READY FOR SEEPERWEEPEROVER?!'

'YEAH!'

Jevin watched his child run over to join the other two, just as Mumbo and Scar landed, just behind the racing Cub and Grian. 

'I WONNED! I WONNED!' Grian squealed excitedly, the hood of his parrot onesie bouncing as he jumped.

'FIIIINE... but- but I has the besterest ucle Scar!' Cub conceded, crossing his arms and looking adorable in his dark blue space pjs.

'No! Ucle MUMUBO is bettererestest!' Grian protested. 

'Alright, you two.' Mumbo intervened. 'I think you should stop arguing and go talk to and play with your other friends.'

'We're- we're DEBATERATING!' Insisted little Cub, trying to use the word he'd heard Cleo say when she was screaming at Etho one time. 'Not argering!'

'I know... now go and play.' At Scar's request, the pair obeyed, running off. Mumbo, now they were gone, focussed on the Star Wars cats pjs Scar was wearing.

'You do realise this party is just for the children...'

'What? Yeah, yeah of course. I'm just supervising.'

'That's... Cleo, Lizzie and Pearl. They're supervising.' 

'No, no, I'm staying as well.'

Silence.

'You're... not running the party though.'

Scar sighed, glanced over at where Grian and Cub were playing magic-magic-lore-fun-game with  Ren and Martyn.

'I don't want to leave Cub.' He admitted 'He gets anxious when he doesn't know where I am.'

'Well... I'm sure the others will look after him. Come on. He does need to learn to be more independent.'

Scar glanced over at Cub again. 

'I suppose. Let's go then.'

They left the building.

Just as Cub glanced over.

'What- the- Aunty- aunty Ceo! Aunty Ceo where Scar leavering?' He questioned immediately, eyes wide.

'He's heading back to his base while you stay here at the party.'

'No! NO! I no want him to- SCAR! SCAR!' Cub ran across the room, as fast as his little legs could manage. The door closed. 'SCAAAAAAAAAAR!' 

But before he could faze through them to get to his beloved parent, Cleo picked him up. 

'He'll be back tomorrow, Cub. Come and play with the other children.'

'NO! SCAR!' Cub started crying, then screeching as Cleo continued telling him Scar wasn't coming back.

'Cub, it's ok...'

'I WAN SCAR I WAN SCAR! I WAN SCAAAAAAAAAAR!' The inconsolable vex continued screaming, eyes flashing from their normal green to bright vex blue, wings out behind... he broke free of Cleo, sprinting through the door and outside. But Scar was too far gone, probably back at his base.

'SCAAAAAAAAAAAR!' Cub continued to cry, sinking to the ground. Cleo ran out after him.

'Come on, Cub. It's ok. Everything's going to be just fine. Scar will come back... come and play with the others.'

'I WAN SCAAAA-AAA-AAAR...' 

'Scar will come back for you tomorrow. Everything will be ok. I think Grian's playing pretend-chaos with Martyn... do you want to join him?'

Another scream from inside of Scott having a tantrum, probably because Joel had insulted his rainbow onesie. Cleo glanced inside, knowing she had to intervene.

'LIZZIE!' She called. The pink-haired adult jogged over.

'What's going on?'

'I need to sort out Scott's tantrum... you try to calm down Cub. Just pick him up, carry him around... I think he's just really tired, and got upset because Scar's not here. Good luck.'

Cleo ran off, leaving Lizzie to approach the wailing vexy child, picking him up.

The screams, if it was possible, increased. The blue across Cub's face flashed to angry pink, claws growing. When he opened his eyes, they were pure glowing white - the height of vexling possession not seen since Season 6.

'NO!' Cub bellowed, clawing across Lizzie's face as she brought him inside. A squeal back. She dropped the child, who glided to the ground. 'NO LIZZIE LIZZIE NO GIAN NO SEEPOVER I WANT SCAR!'

'AUNY LIZZIE AUNY LIZZIE!' Joel ran over at his new parent's noise, noticing Cub and shoving him. 'IMMA KILL YOU LILE VEXY!' 

Cub, beyond reasoning, bit his arm, refusing to let go, even as he drew blood. Joel screeched with pain. Lizzie, also screaming, dragged Cub away, refusing to let go of him.

'HELP CUB'S BECOME VEXIER THAN NORMAL AND BIT JOEL!' She yelled. Cleo and Pearl both turned attention back to him. 

'OH MY GOODNESS THAT IS NOT GOOD!' Cleo, the only adult who recognised the signs from the days of the Convex, sprinted over. 'Message for help. I don't know what to do.'

'Can SCAR help?!'

'If Cub's like this, Scar will be too...'

LDShadowLady: HELP CUB'S A VEX

impulseSV: COMING

impulseSV: MUMBO HELP SCAR GET SOMEWHERE HE CAN'T HURT ANYONE

Mumbo: ON IT

'What's going on?! Why's everyone panicking so much?!'

'Long story involving a lot of pranks, magical possession and a promise to never let it get that bad again... Impulse, do you know what to do?'

'Yes, Scar told me back in Season 8... uhh... Give me Cub?'

Lizzie shoved the still screaming child into his arms. Impulse took to the air, holding him tight.

'CUB DON'T LET GO. WE'RE- UHH WE'RE GOING TO FIND SCAR!' He lied. Cub stopped struggling, not back to normal but also not trying to murder anyone anymore... A few minutes later they landed at a deserted island Impulse had been given coordinates for, in case of this exact vex-situation, heading underground.

'Wait- WAIT WHERE'S SCAR?' Cub quickly realised it had been a lie, struggling again... they reached an empty room where Impulse quickly placed the child, running for the exit. Cub tried to follow. 'YOU LYERING LYERING FACE NO!' 

'Cub, I'm so sorry, but this is for your own safety.

He pulled a lever. Before Cub could get free and cause more damage, piston doors, activating the magic shield stopping even vexes from fazing through, closed in his face. His screams could still just be heard on the other side, hammering and clawing at the door until tiredness washed over him and he collapsed, asleep.

Yes I also wanted to use my idea of emergency Convex protocols

It stays angsty next chapter, but there's a lot more wholesomeness as well
