I've asked this in an announcement but I'll ask again here. For my discord server, what should I name it? Any ideas? If I get more ideas, I'll put them in a poll and we'll see what wins. So far I have Bean Patrol, JSE Bean Patrol, Graphic-Hawk's Server, Angst Alliance or even Graphic-Hawk Bean Patrol. Idk guys, help me out here! The community server will consist of discussion of my stories, the Bean Patrol, Bean Patrol RP, my OC characters, and any else you guys want to talk about that consists of 'MarvelSepticeye' :)

Marvin and Jackie followed Chase back into the house, still shaken up but Chase didn't seem to notice.

He pointed to the couch, "Where's Anti?"

Marvin paled, reaching for Basil again who was rolling around comfortably on the cushions, "I was about to ask you and Jackie that. When I came downstairs, he wasn't here"

Jackie swallowed, "He was here before I went outside. . . but .. . that was a few hours ago"

Chase looked bewildered to say the least, "Henrik was going up to see Jameson and ask him if-"

"That thing is real!" Marvin interrupted him, making both Chase and Jackie stare at him.

". . . .I figured" Chase snorted, "I-"

"I saw it, too" Jackie confessed, "Uh ... just a few moments ago, actually. Right before . . . right before Marvin came outside"

Marvin stared, a little put off, "It came to me, too a little bit ago. And I. . . well I thought I got rid of it. I'm pretty sure, anyway."

"What makes you say that?"

"I cast a curse on it to . . . well I eradicated it. Whatever it was. Into ashes or . . whatever. I'm not quite sure but I think it's gone"

"Wh-" Chase knew they were probably on a time crunch but he had to ask, "What do you think it was?"

Marvin shook his head, "Not human"

"We can talk about this later" Jackie huffed, "We need to get the others NOW. Come on!" he led the way upstairs.

Henrik opened Marvin's room to see if he was in there but couldn't see him, 'I must have just missed him somewhere. I'll talk to Jameson instead and see if he has seen anything peculiar as of late'

He rushed to the mute's room but just as Jackie had earlier . . . he could hear a soft whispering coming form behind the door.

'What the? Jameson doesn't have a TV or anything that would project noise in his room. Just a . . . gramophone.' he knocked on the door.

"Jameson! James, open zhe door! There is something we need to talk about! It cannot wait"

Henrik kept knocking until the whispering suddenly stopped and he heard footsteps coming to the door.

The doctor suddenly felt a strange feeling rise up within him. His hairs prickling off his skin as if pre-emptively warning him of danger.

He took a step back but couldn't do anything else as the door opened.

Jameson's hat was on, covering his eyes but Henrik had the alarming feeling that he could see him anyway. Something felt off.

"J-Jameson . . . . are you alright? Something is wrong in zhis house. Chase and Anti have felt something and seen something strange and I vas wondering if you have as vell"

'No' he signed almost . . .robotically, 'Everything is fine. But I'm busy right now. Perhaps you can come by again later, doctor'

"Vhat was zhat sound I heard from in here?" he didn't want to say anything specific. He knew something was off and he wanted to catch him in a lie.

'You must be working too hard, doctor.' Jameson signed, 'There was nothing. You heard nothing'

Henrik swallowed, "So you haven't seen anything strange? . . . Why won't you look me in the eyes, James?"

'Would you like me to?'

". . ..Preferably."

Henrik could just barely see a smile form on his lips under the bowler hat and his suspicions rose higher and higher.

Until Henrik looked right into his eyes.

Solid white.

Blank and devoid of life.

The doctor shuddered, "J-Jameson?"

'What's wrong, doctor? Isn't this what you wanted?' he still smiled, 'Why don't you come on inside?'

Suddenly Henrik was ripped through into the room and thrown over onto the floor.

"Guh!" Henrik groaned and tried to hurry to pick himself up onto to see Anti next to him, arms tied behind his back and gagged with one of Jameson's ties. He looked tired and terrified, trying to squirm but it was no use with his legs still paralyzed.

"Anti!" Henrik tried to reach for him only for Jameson to wave his hand, suddenly freezing him in time.

Jameson gave a wild grin, shaping a finger over his mustache, 'What a treat'

A formation of shadows appeared behind Jameson and walked around him.

Henrik could only stare in horror as this THING became something oh so familiar.

He looked way too close to Anti, neck bleeding and an insane smile planted on his face, eyes glowing dangerously.

"I get my puppet back, my precious doctor AND I get to show my dear little copy what he's been missing"

Henrik tried so hard to just move but it was no use. He was stuck mid-way in a jump towards Anti, frozen by Jameson's ability to stop time.

Anti tried squirming again but Jameson then froze him, too.

Septiceye chuckled, glitching off and on like static. You could see through him, making look near a hallucination but they new better.

This wasn't a hallucination.

'I knew I wasn't crazy' Anti glared at the thing, 'But what's gonna happen now!? Where're the others!?'

Septiceye laughed loudly, "Oh Henrik . . . Always so strong and unforgiving. So filled with hatred. I respect that"

He stepped closer and the doctor wanted to bolt way or punch him but he just couldn't!

Septiceye leaned down in front of him but made sure Anti still had a good view, "Do you remember what he. . . well I mean . . I did? Hmph, Of course you do. Otherwise, you wouldn't still hate this sad excuse of a villain, hm? Oh it's so sad that you actually think you forgive him!" he chuckled at the last bit.

Henrik was completely aware of everything and wanted to cringe as Septiceye moved his hair from his face with an almost gentle smile, "Remember how I tore out your daughter's throat and spine? How I ripped out your son's heart and ate it in front of you? Oh such good times until the magician had to come and ruin my fun. But your tears and screams were all the gratification I needed. .. . dear doctor"

Henrik felt his fist clenching against Jameson's abilities, his anger pushing through.

Septiceye noticed this, though, "Oh what's this? Someone stronger than I thought? How cute. As for you-" he glanced to Anti with a glare, "You see now how deep their hatred runs? They'll never forget what you did, Anti. You know it's true. You know deep inside what McLoughlin has hidden away from ALL of you. And yet you still coddle to him like a fucking PUPPY!"

Septiceye stomped on Anti's back and he wanted to cry out but Jameson's power stopped him from being able to.

The creature took out his knife and brushed it along Anti's cheek, "Imagine the satisfaction Henrik would feel if I spilled your blood. . . . . imagine all of their relief that they'd no longer have to deal with you. See your fucking face slowly go numb as I squeeze and bleed out all the life out of you like a fresh deer ready to hang. What do you think, James?!"

But Jameson was still, not moving a muscle, not that it bothered Septiceye, "Hehehheheeh . . . You don't believe all I've said is real? The doctor can just ask McLoughlin himself. You won't be able to"

Anti could feel himself paling at what those words meant.

Henrik grunted and was able to move just an inch more towards Anti.

"Ohohoh!" Septiceye laughed at him, "What's this? Doctor got different thoughts? Doc want to actually SAVE a patient for once!?" the creature hopped on top of Anti's back, laying his ass on his spine and pulled up his head by his hair, pressing the knife against his already leaking throat, "You'll have to try harder than that, Doc. After all we've done, you shouldn't want to . . .you know you really don't wanna. Remember all he's done. Remember everything we've put you through." he glitched wildly, "All your brothers beaten down to nothing. Your niece and nephew brutally tortured and murdered. Your own children . . . . You don't really want to save him . . . . you risked everything to save your brothers FROM him. . . . you want to slit HIS throat so bad, don't you!? HhahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

Anti, just for a moment, was able to break Jameson's time freeze, it having been over a minute. He couldn't do this sort of thing for long, after all. Anti bit through his gag and shouted at him, "WHAT DO YOU WANT, GODAMMIT!? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM US!?"

Septiceye dug his nails into his skull, "You're the copy here. I'm gonna take my rightful spot as the villain . .. seeing as you won't" he readied his knife to Anti's neck again, going for the kill, "AND THIS TIME, I'LL KILL THEM ALL! I'LL DO WHAT YOU FAILED TO DO! I AM THE PUPPET MASTER HERE, YOU WORTHLESS RENDITION, AND YOU WILL ALL DIE AT ME FEET BEGGING-"

Henrik suddenly broke out of Jameson's freeze and launched himself at Septiceye with his fist at the ready, punching him cleanly.

Septiceye fell off of Anti but escaped another one of Henrik's attacks, glitching towards Jameson, "What are you doing!? Freeze them again, Pinocchio!"

But luckily, the puppet was out of juice and couldn't, causing the creature to shove him to the ground, "Worthless piece of garbage!"

Henrik started to untie Anti only for Septiceye to glitch again behind the doctor with his knife to his throat, "Been a real fun time, Henny! I'll see ya in hell, bitch!"

"THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN HERE!?"

They all turned to see Sean at the door looking like he just walked in on something he shouldn't have.

Luckily, Jackie, Marvin and Chase were behind him. He must have just arrived right when they were going to come up.

Septiceye grinned sinisterly, "Just in time for the show. See what you've done, McLoughlin. . . . . This is all your doing. You created a monster and you know it. . . ."

The creature dropped Henrik in favor of Sean, glitching towards him and all motion seemed to slow down immensely to Anti.

He didn't know what the hell was going on. None of them truly knew.

All Anti knew was that he couldn't let this monster hurt anyone he cared about.

He may be upset with Sean sometimes. . . .

But he was still his brother at heart.

He knew the repercussions but he couldn't stop himself. He couldn't let this DEMON hurt anyone he loved.

Anti glitched out of the bonds and as fast as lightening with all the adrenaline pumped into him, he lunged for the demon.

He didn't even realize he was running at them until he had jumped onto Septiceye's back.

The demon cried out angrily and the two glitched back and forth all around the room.

Everyone else could only watch in shock as Anti took on this beast by himself.

Finally Anti glitched and had him pinned on the floor beneath them. Anti clutched the thing's head and the two screamed at each other, each raging with their energies, trying to gain control.

Anti's eyes went pitch black and his neck bled uncontrollably but he didn't stop, glitching and electrocuting the creature to submission.

"̴Y̷O̸U̷ ̵W̸I̴L̴L̷ ̸N̷O̶T̸!̷ ̶Y̸O̷U̵ ̷W̶I̴L̵L̵ ̵N̷O̴T̵ ̴H̵U̵R̸T̷ ̶T̴H̵E̵M̴ ̸A̷N̶Y̶M̶O̷R̴E̷ ̴Y̷O̷U̴ ̸F̵U̷C̸K̶I̶N̵G̷ ̶M̸O̸N̷S̵T̴E̵R̶!̴ ̴I̷ ̵W̴O̵N̷'̴T̵ ̵L̸E̷T̸ ̵Y̶O̸U̶!̵ ̴I̴ ̵W̸O̶N̷'̴T̷ ̴L̷E̷T̶ ̴Y̵O̷U̸!̶ ̵I̷ ̶W̸O̸N̷'̵T̸!̷"̶

Anti let out so much and clutched his eyes tight as he burst his energy against him, tears flowing off of his face at the gravity of emotions and pain he felt.

Everything stopped when Sean touched his shoulder.

He must have known Anti could tell the difference. He must have known.

Anti immediately stopped and shuddered, looking down underneath him at the pile of ashes he left behind.

"It's okay, Anti" he could hear Sean crying for him, "It's okay now, everything's alright. I promise, I promise-"

Anti couldn't stop shaking, though. He just couldn't stop. His head hurt so much. He felt a sudden spasm and suddenly he started to black out. He couldn't move voluntarily.

He could just hear Henrik's voice shouting, "Back away from him! He's having a seizure!"

Anti could just hear his name being called out as he suffered through this but he couldn't do anything. Last time he had one when this all started after Henrik drugged him that day and he fell unconscious.

Now he was aware but it was so frightening, he didn't know how to process it, sparks coming off of him and unable to control his saliva. He felt disgusting and sick as the others watched so concerned. Were they disgusted by him? Watching this happen? He tried to keep telling himself that hopefully they really did care. He at least knew Sean and Evelien did.

When it was finally over, Anti's violent spasms were reduced to shaking but he could at least move voluntarily now. Henrik got a pillow to place under his head and put him on his side so he could breathe easier.

He tasted blood in his mouth and he realized he must have bit his tongue. But he didn't care. He just laid down and let himself be cared for, letting Evelien wipe away his tears as usual and Sean hug him on the floor, still on their sides.

"It's over" Marvin sighed, "I think that thing. . .. whatever it was . . . is actually finally gone."

Sean, still just hugging Anti and not letting him go, just asked, "What was that thing? I've never seen it before."

"You didn't accidentally create it at some point?" Jackie asked.

"Hell no" Sean pet Anti's hair, "I swore to myself I'd never create something like that agai-"

He stopped himself before he could finish.

But everyone already heard it.

Everyone didn't say a word for a solid minute.

It was just too much to take it and no one really knew or understood fully what it meant.

Henrik swallowed heavily as he checked over Jameson who was asking what the hell happened. It seemed as if he had blacked out only to wake up to this scene after Septiceye crumbled away.

"Let's . . . let's just first focus on recuperating .. . . . . Marvin . .. will you help get Anti into a wheel chair and get him downstairs?"

Sean shuddered as Anti weakly pushed him away, seeing the look in his eyes.

Horrified.

Of him.

There was a lot Sean had to explain.

It's about time for theories, ya'll. What do you guys think is about to go down? Remember this story is far from over so does anyone have any theories they want to share? 😈 You guys all know I love to see what you guys think is gonna happen so go for it! What do you think's coming!? 💚
