*Jordan's Pov*

"First round now." I command as Maddi sings on. Wag and Blaze fire the first round of bombs. They hit just outside the castle above what Steve said was Inertia. Hopefully that'll distract Helgrind enough to get him to where we need him to be.

Maddi goes into the second verse and Wag fires the next round of bombs. I remember before me and Wag blew Lady Taintanite to high heavens, Martha yelling at me that the world was doomed and it was horrible. I replied with.

"Then maybe I should make a nuke, and blow it all up!"

Good times, good times indeed. Maddi finishes the song and in just enough time to hear Tom's gun go threw Helgrind's skull. Blaze cuts the Broadcast system and Jasmine, a nurse, runs up to us.

"They got him. And Justice." She says and Maddi starts panicking.

*Maddi's Pov*

My home is gone. The bombs did more damage than predicted. Half the castle and a good chunk of the town are basically gone. People stare in horror as Helgrind's dead body. I let out a sob and hide my head in Blaze's chest.

*Andor's Pov*

I stare at Justice who stares back at me. Through the glass of our rooms, that are on opposite sides of the hall. The line between reality and fantasy has faded completely. I'm Andor, I'm 21, My family is dead, I have to run Dagrun and Ruxomar. I repeat what I know over and over again. That's all I can do. No one will tell me who pulled the trigger or why. But I would've never wished death on my father no matter how bad of a person he was. He may have hurt me more times then I care to remember, but I still loved him. He suffered through the loss of mom and Prim as well he was there when Jordan wasn't, even if I didn't want him to be.

*Jordan's Pov*

Maddi has a strong grip on my arm as we walk into the good side of the hospital.

"Jordan you'd better wait." A doctor I don't know says.

"Why!?!"

"We aren't 100% sure what they did to him. All his vitals were fine. All we know, for sure, is as Maddi sang they must've beat all living hell out of him. We're also looking at months on months of neglect. There was numerous unidentified serums in his system. Maddi follow me."

*Maddi's Pov*

I walk down the hall and what I see breaks my heart. Andor is just staring at Justice shaking his head. He's covered in black and blue bruises, his eyes look tired and worn out.

"Watch what you say. And don't hug if he doesn't first. We're watching." The doctor says letting me in Andor's room.

"Andor." I say and he flinches, then throws his hands in front of his face.

"Please no. Please." He whispers and after a moment of silence lowers his hands.

"Maddi." He whispers and I smile. "Yeah, that's me." Andor walks over to me slowly and pulls me into a hug. Its now I realize how much weight and mussel he's lost. He's cold and weak.

"You sang beautifully." He sobs holding me as tight as he can fathom. I can't function, I can only hug back and sob.

"Andor." I sob into his chest. Just feeling his touch warms my heart. After all this time. But there's no way I could've prepared for this. Nothing I ever guessed they did was this bad. Nothing.

"Jordan. Is he okay?! Did he..." I cut Andor off by sitting him down on the bed.

"Jordan's fine he...." Justice lets out a cry and Andor's face fills with panic.

"LEAVE HER BE!" He cries shoving me to get to the window. I see Jordan and Tom both of which are in tears.

A doctor runs in and drags me out. And about three others pin Andor ro his bed.

"This is what we were afriad of."

"Are you okay?" Blaze asks as I watch Andor get pinned to his bed.

"You gotta let me see him! I can calm him down!" Jordan cries shoving me into Blaze.
"Jordan I'm sorry we can't not yet." Andor fights against the bed strains. Justice's window is closed, I know they wouldn't hurt her here.

*Jordan's Pov*

I shove past the doctors. They yell for me to come back but I don't listen. I burst through the doors of Andor's room. I can hear the doctors running to me. Andor seems to be half conscious. I place my hand on Andor's leg gently. His eyes widen and I feel doctors pulling me out and I let them. Andor's gaze never leaves me mine never leaves him. He looks so hurt and broken.

"We told you not to! That it wouldn't help him!" The doctor yells but I don't respond. Just that one little touch sent shock waves running through me. I've gotta get my Prince back. I'm not gonna be able to live with myself if he dies without hearing my apology.
