Pure's POV

It's roughly around 3 pm on a Monday in September. I should be at school but after what happened... I couldn't face my failures... I failed as a boyfriend... I failed as a hero... I'm not a hero. I'm just a Placebo trying to protect. 

I stand atop of a duplex just listening for the cry of help. I have two aerosols cans and my umbrella in hand. I wear a gas mask alongside my stealth clothing but I wear my "You Are Free." Hoodie. I've already tagged enough FPC buildings today. It's good to not do too many. I rather not get caught right now. 

To my ears, I hear the scream of pain. I run and jump from building top to building top. I see a girl with the blonde hair running. I stealthy make my way around the cul de sac rooftops. They have her cornered. I get a better look and I see her... Charity... I about turn away but what I hear breaks my heart. "Pure!" I look down and I see two guns pointed at her. My body just jumps into action. I jump down between her and them. They're FPC goons. I open my umbrella quickly and I block all the bullets. I've been shot at too much to not have this with me. I close my umbrella and look at them dead in the eye. This won't need my power. 

I run quickly as I close line the two. I grab the two aerosol cans as they are getting up and I put the two cans in their mouths and uppercut both their jaws closed causing the cans to explode with paint. I tackle both of them to the ground and punch both of them in the head causing them to be knocked out. 

I get up and turn my attention to her... I walk up to her. "Are you okay?" I gotta be calm. I'm done showing my true emotions. I pull off my gas mask and my eyes betray me. My anger shows true but my sadness is that shadowing figure over it. "P-Pure..." She says to me and she nods to my question. "Good, I'll be on my way then..." I turn away and start to walk. It hurts but she hurt me... "Pure wait!" She grabs onto my arm. I roll my eyes. "What?" I question annoyed at this point. "Pure, I'm sorry about everything..." Yeah, Right. I roll my eyes again. "Sure you are." I see tears forming in Charity's eyes. "I know you have no reason to believe me but what happened a month ago wasn't what it looked like. Sky forced himself onto me. I was in shock. I would have never cheated on you Pure." I sigh in annoyance. "Are you done? Because I was done a long time ago. You're right I have no reason to believe you. I've been through enough in my life and when I gave you my heart I trusted you that you would never hurt me. You've could've stopped him but no you didn't and you kept it a secret from me which is what hurt me the most. You didn't have the gull to tell me the truth so why should I forgive you now? Maybe you are right. It wasn't how it looked back then but what I saw is what I saw. I can't unsee that..." I split with venom in my voice. I pull away from her grip and I start to walk away. "If you won't believe me then believe Allie! She knows what happened that day! She knew I was trying to end it!" I stop at this. Maybe she isn't lying. I'll have to make sure. "You were my one and only. I loved you. I don't know if I could do that again..." With that, I disappear from sight.

I travel through the dimensional plane. "That was something," Frey says. "Yeah, I know. Was I too harsh? Maybe she is right. Maybe it wasn't how it seemed..." Frey shrugs. "You could always ask Allie. Maybe she is right that Allie knows. Allie would never lie to you. She's your sister. I would trust her." I nod to Frey. "Maybe you're right. I should check in with Allie. Do you know where she is?" Frey puts a finger on the air in front of up and pulls down a keyboard and starts to type. A bunch of files starts to flow around him. He taps on a few of them and he finds the file on Allie. "Ah yes, Allie Placebo. She is currently at her apartment. We can land there right now if you wish." I nod. "Let's solve a mystery." Frey smiles under that mask of his. 

I arrive through a wormhole outside of Allie's apartment. I knock on the door and it creaks open upon knock. I enter the apartment cautiously. I look around "Allie? Hello?" I stop outside the door to her room. I open it slowly and I look in and see Allie lying on the ground. I rush in there but something is quicker than me and they wrap something around my neck. It's like a shark collar thing that holds back sharks. But, It starts to send a signal into my brain to shut down. I resist the command as much as I can but I'm getting weaker. My vision is going black. "F-Frey... You're just a program... Whatever happens after this... Just know... I'm gonna need your help more than ever... I have a bad feeling that I was brought into a trap and I'm gonna get destroyed... If you can help me... I would forever be in your debt..." I say in my mind. My vision goes black as the command finally gets me.

3rd Person POV.

Pure's body falls limp as his eyes are blank. The collar around his neck tightens. "You are gonna become a blank slate... You know too much..." The mysterious figure says. "I was told to only bring Pure. I know knocking out his sister would've been easy to bring him out. I will fulfill my mission." The mysterious figure grabs Pure and he types something on his wrist. "Return to the main base... Teleporter pad activate. passcode Scorpion." The mysterious man starts to glow and so does Pure. "I honestly think this was a little too easy. You're so strong yet so naive Pure." The mysterious figure and Pure disappear into thin air. 

1 week later...

Pure wakens in a chair strapped down from head to toe. Pure looks around as much as I can. It's a vast white room and clear pipes filled with green liquid. It's all too familiar to Pure. That's Placebo mutagen. Used to mutate anyone into a Placebo without going through the whole surgery process. Pure was one of the few that was a prototype test run of how the Placebo mutagen would work on a defective human. It worked perfectly a little too perfectly to make Pure into the weapon of mass destruction that he is. 

Pure tries to struggle out of the bindings but he still feels weak so he can't break free. A door panel opens and a woman walks in. High heels and a navy blue skirt. A white button-up with a black tie and a navy blue blazer over that. Her blonde hair in a tight bun and she has a clipboard in hand. "You're Pure Placebo right?" She asks. Pure refuses to answer. "I know you're Pure Placebo. Your hair gives it away. You've caused us a lot of trouble in the past. Such an activist aren't you?" Pure refuses to budge. "I swear when I get out of here I'm gonna destroy this corporation..." A small smirk forms on her face. "That's a lot of talk for someone who is strapped down to a chair. Anyways, you know a lot about this company and we need to forget all that. We'll just simply wipe your memory and store it here. You know too much Pure." As she says that a headgear-type device starts to come down. It places on Pure's head. "Sweet memories Pure. Live like a good little boy." The machine starts to buzz and starts electrifying Pure's mind. "Ahhhhh!" Pure screams at the top of his lung as his brain starts to fry. 

The woman walks away. "Give him information about the school he attends. All he'll need to know to pass his classes. I mean we're not that evil." The woman says into her armband as the door panel closes behind her.

1 more week later...

A boy walks into his high school he attends. He sports black jeans. An emerald green shirt with a fisheye on it. A jacket with "Through a distorted lens, I found a cure." plastered on the back with a fisheye placebo logo under it. He has his backpack over one of his shoulders. He walks into the school and he looks at his phone. "7:10 huh..." He says. He walks towards his first hour. 

He sits down outside his first hour with his headphones on listening to "Leave out all the Rest" by Linkin Park. He starts to sing along. 

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?

So, if you're asking me, I want you to knowWhen my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through

I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So, if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me

And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

He finishes out singing and he has his eyes closed. "P-Pure..." Pure opens his eyes and looks to who said his name. There stands the one he loved Charity. "Yeah, that's me. Can I help you?" Charity gets a perplexed look. "P-Pure... It's me... Don't you recognize me..?" Pure stands up to meet her level. "I'm sorry I don't know you. Is there anything I can help you with?" Charity has such a hurt look. "Don't play with me like that Pure... It's me Charity... You know me..." Pure gets a confused look. "I'm sorry I don't know who you are. My name is Pure Placebo. I'm a senior here. I just got back from the hospital. I'm one to think logically. I could have met you before I don't remember you in the slightest. I'm sorry if you got me mixed up with the wrong guy." Pure grabs his bag and enters his first-hour classroom leaving Charity out there in distraught. "W-What... What happened to him..." Charity's eyes fill with tears and she runs off towards the girl's bathroom and locks herself in a stall. She cries for a minute. "W-Why... Why can't he remember me..." Charity sits down on the toilet and holds her head in her hands as she cries slightly. "That's because his mind was wiped clean." Charity is startled and looks up but no one is there. "Down here. On your phone." Charity grabs her phone and looks at it and there's Frey. Mask and all. "F-Frey..?" A chuckle comes from the stereo. "Yeah, It's me. Listen they wiped his mind of all his memories and all he knows about the FPC. I was included in that cleaning. But, I survived by many transfers through devices and I managed my way to your phone. I honestly tried to jump into Pure's mind but I couldn't I was locked out. If I could just get in his mind I could bring him back. But, I need you to do something." Charity nods as she looks at her phone. "Alright, I know this is gonna be tough but I want you to become his friend all over again. Be kind to him. Be someone he could trust. I can only get in his you do this for me. If you can't do it for me then do it for him. He loves you. He just doesn't know it yet. He secretly told me to tell you he loves you if something were to ever happen to you. I know it still rings true. Can you do this for me?" Charity slowly nods. "I can do it, Frey... It's gonna hurt but for him... I would do it all over again..." Frey smiles on the screen. "I knew I could count on you. You know I never believed that it was your fault that day. You ring true. Your heart beats true for him. You have all of us on your side. Just reel him in and I could do the rest. I believe in you Charity. Do it for him." Frey then fades out. Charity cries a tiny bit more. "I'll do it... I'll do it for him... Pure..."

"I love you..."

(Why is always these emotional chapters that get to me? Again it hurts to write this but it was such a brilliant idea. So just expect the next 2 chapters at least to be her trying to get him back. I know what you may be thinking and no we aren't broken up. I and Isabelle are doing great. She's actually here writing with me right now. It's night time so we gotta go to bed for school tomorrow. I love writing but I'm one sleepy boy on top of that. I'll see you all in the next chapter. Pure Placebo Out!)
