Boss Battle

When Signe woke up, she was instantly blinded by a bright light above her, Sean's face smiling down at her like an angel.

"I must be in Heaven, right?" She slowly shook her head, pain throbbing in her temples.

"Because I'm here?" Sean smirked.

"Yeah you're right, it's probably Hell." She smirked back.

"Where are we?" Signe heard Amy say.

"I can walk you know." She reminded Sean who was still holding her bridal style.

"Fine." Sean rolled his eyes as he lowered her to her feet on the ground, holding onto her arm for a moment to make sure she was steady. The room was nicer than the hallway they came out of, the walls white with various machines lining the wall and the floor white tiled. It looked like a hospital.

"About time." The female voice they heard in the hall yawned.

They turned around to find the Queen glaring at them with her arms crossed.

"Thanks for bringing them to me." The Queen nodded in Felix's direction as a couple of scientists wrestled Sean's arms behind his back, kicking him behind the knees so he fell to the ground while Amy and Signe were led away from Jack and Felix despite their struggling.

Felix seemed to become very interested in his shoes as he stepped away from Jack.

"I needed one more test subject, and you know too much." The Queen paced around Jack as a scientist handed her a syringe filled with a pitch black colored liquid.

"Leave him alone!" Signe screamed, pulling against the scientist's grip on her arms.

The Queen ignored Signe and plunged the needle into Jack's neck, injecting the liquid into him.

Jack inhaled sharply, but otherwise made no sound as the scientists released him, letting him curl into a ball on the floor as he yelled in pain, his blue eyes squeezed shut as his body spasmed uncontrollably.

"Sean!" Signe screamed his name.

Only he wasn't Sean anymore.

When he opened his eyes, the left one was his regular eye color and the other was a bright green that matched his hair. Black veins were visible underneath his pale skin as he calmly stood up, not bothering to look back at Amy or Signe.

"Your Majesty." Sean bowed to the Queen while she smiled, obviously satisfied with the results of her experiment.

"Sean?" Signe repeated in a whimper.

"You can call me Anti darling." Jack moved in a blink of an eye in front of Signe, lifting her chin up so she was looking into his multicolored eyes.

"Bring in the other friends and the test subject D, we need to make sure they react well together." The Queen snapped her fingers.

"Why are you doing this?" Amy snarled.

"Blame America. Since we couldn't beat you, we joined you. Now that we can't join you, we'll beat you and the rest of the world." She shrugged nonchalantly as if discussing a fight between siblings instead of continents.

"Amy!" "Signe!" Ethan, Bob, Wade, Mandy and Tyler yelled as they were dragged handcuffed into the room and over by Amy and Signe. Amy and Signe felt relieved to see them alive, but angry at seeing them handcuffed.

All air seemed to leave the room as test subject D entered.

Mark.

His eyes were red intertwined with black swirls, dressed in a black tight fitting t-shirt and jeans. His gaze immediately landed on Anti.

"What's your name?" Anti purred, waltzing up to Mark.

"Dark." He flashed Anti a grin as Anti caressed his cheek, licking his lips.

"Mark!" Amy yelled to get his attention, but he ignored her, his focus trained intently on Anti.

"Kill them." The Queen pointed at Amy and Signe.

"Should we?" Dark looked from the Queen back at Anti.

"Hmm, nah. Ruling the world would be much more fun." Anti shook his head with a grin that reminded Signe of the Joker.

Suddenly they rose up in the air, Dark surrounded by a shroud of black smoke and Anti by green dripping tentacles that extended from his back.

"Bub-bye." Dark waved before the two disappeared without a trace.

"Where did they go?" The Queen yelled at one of the scientists.

"Their trackers say they're in Athlone, Ireland." He stated.

"Take them with us, we have to get them under control." The Queen instructed as she stormed out of the room, the scientists wordlessly keeping everyone's arms pinned behind their backs as they followed. They all clambered into a plane and flew as fast as possible to Athlone.

It had only taken a second before they were spotted. A dark shroud of black and green swirled in the air like a storm cloud.

"I'll try and land close to them." The pilot said as the plane descended. The plane was still far from the ground when a green tentacle slammed into the plane, red lights flashing and alarms blaring as one of the wings broke off.

The plane nosedived into the ground in a flaming mess, skidding several more feet before stopping completely.

"Pilot'a dead." The Queen cursed as she kicked the door open. The scientists holding Bob, Wade, Amy, Signe, Ethan, Molly, Tyler, and Mandy released them, shoving them through the door before them.

The once clear blue sky was now pitch black, splashes of some kind of green liquid melting the city below.

"Nice of you to come visit." Dark and Anti descended from  the air until they were hovering in front of everyone from the plane.

"Shoot them!" The Queen screeched. No one had brought weapons with them.

"You scream more than me, and that's saying something." Anti walked up to her and casually snapped her neck. Her body slumped to the ground while Signe screamed, Molly and Mandy trying to soothe her while Amy's eyes remained fixated on Dark.

"Mark, this isn't you." She reached out towards him.

"I'm not Mark." Dark flinched away from her, instinctively moving closer to Anti, whom squeezed his hand with a smile.

"You're still Mark, I know it!" She protested.

"I don't know if you can hear me Mark, but I've always wanted to say this to you." She paused to take a deep breath.

"Yes."

"Yes?" Dark repeated with a frown, confused.

"Yes I will marry you, I want nothing more in the world than to be with you for the rest of my life, no matter what!" She took his hands and pressed her lips to his. He tensed up at first, then melted into the kiss, running his hands through her hair as she threw her arms around his neck.

When he pulled away for air, his eyes flickered from red mixed with black to his normal chocolate brown eye color before settling on his normal eye color, a smile brightening his face.

"I love you." Amy rested her forehead against his.

"I-"

There was a couple of gunshots from behind them, Mark gasping in pain as he looked down at his abdomen. A dot of crimson red blood was spreading from his chest, soaking his shirt as he fell to his knees.

Behind him were a group of police officers, the captain holding his pistol with a thin whisper of smoke curling through the barrel of it.

Anti roared in anger as he charged towards the officers, but was quickly stopped by a round of bullets shot into his chest. The dark cloud and green acid abruptly stopped as soon as Anti hit the ground.

"Why did you do that?" Signe whispered, crawling over to where Jack was lying face down on the ground.

"Ye folks alright?" The captain asked, his Irish accent thick.

"We're fine, but they-" Amy broke off, staring at the wound in Mark's chest as it closed up by itself as if like magic, the same happening to Jack.

"The fuck?" Jack examined where his wounds once were, finding no traces of them ever being there.

"-love you too." Mark finished his sentence, kissing Amy on the cheek as they both stood up.

"Do ye need a ride home?" The officer asked.

"That'd be great." Jack nodded, giving him his address as the group split up so they could fit into the four police cars. Amy, Mark, and Tyler sat in the first one, Ethan, Jack, and Signe in the second one, Bob, Mandy, and Felix in the third one with Wade and Molly in the last car.

"Thanks for the ride." Mark nodded in appreciation as he got out, helping Amy out as well as Tyler.

"No problem." The officer tipped his hat at them as he and the rest of his force drove off after dropping everyone else off. Mark had picked up Chica on the way home, her tail wagging energetically as he hugged her tightly like a stuffed animal.

"Now what?" Felix looked around at everyone.

He had told the officers about Marcia and the pugs, so they were already searching for them. As far as the bomb implanted in him, it had deactivated by itself when the Queen died.

"We do what we do best." Jack walked inside and offered Mark and Felix a controller.

"We game." He smiled.
