Posts by BREAKOUT

Breakout hadn't returned back with the others to the mansion after the raid. His mind had been complete elsewhere. He hadn't even brought up the conversation he had been having with Deathstroke just remaining completely in silence with it aside from informing his decision to Asimov about it. The next meeting for sure it would be announced and brought to attention. Right now though he just wanted to be alone so had wander up to the cliff. He felt completely torn apart inside after having relived a such painful memory. He could still even now not remembering it only having been haunted by that red door, and heared the cries from his younger self in there. But this...this had been the closest he had ever come to finally start to understand what exactly had happend to him behind that door. The pain and suffering he had endured, why Deathstroke crimes effected him so. None of it made him feel better though in fact he believed he never had felt even more worse.

Suffocated and drowning, that was what he felt, and he realised he never had left that red room.

He had tried to calm his nervs down by lightening up a cigarette but as he reached one of the many trees out there he just...let himself lean against it as his lip started to tremble, and the cigarette just got dropt towards the ground. Tears burned inside of his azure blue orbs, and he let them fall down his cheeks while sinking down towards the ground to cry. He felt just to much pain, and he felt like everything had crushed down around him. Even if Crimson was dead he keept on haunting him. He would never be free, would he?. No matter what he did would never recover from what Crimson had done because he was already broken, a mess and there was no saving him. Breakout was doomned. He could never be saved, to get put back into pieces again to be whole. He could never get his ruined childhood back. He was....a broken mess that couldn't be fixed.

" Oh look at you hun, you really look like a such mess." a voice could be heared, and soon the royal looking kitsune would show his form behind some trees. When had he got here?. Breakout would quickly wipe the tears away from his eyes before standing up and forced a grin upon his maw. " S-sorry man, thought i was alone up here..." he would say, feeling embarassed now that he had let someone see him cry. The sort of mess he was were not for others to see. Vanitas just smirked though, a devil looking one with complete cruelity. " Let me ask you something Boss, how can you still stand to be living with yourself?." he asked which startled the hellhound alot to hear. What?.

" I mean you most realise by now how much of a horrible person you are?. I have not been here for long but... i can clearly see how much of a wreck you're. You're a alcoholic, drug addict and...you even hit your own daughter. What sort of a father would even do such a thing?." Vanitas said while watching how deeply his words cut before contunie on as he started to walk around. " Batterychicken was the only one brave enough to say it but i know the rest of the cartel feels the same way about you. They're all scared of you, living in terror that's why not even Clove wants you to touch her anymore. " Oh yes, the gossips, the whispers and the whole conversation had been going out in the courtyard as well. How could anyone have missed it?. " You think yourself to be so much better then the ruins,the exiles..but you're not. You're not better then your father."

" NO!, y-you're wrong!...i-i'm not...t-they are not..." he tried to protect but his words failed him because how could he speak against it?. That was the way it looked like. Breakout started to slip about from the reality to let what Vanitas said get to him while struggling with his own inner conflict. Both Batterychicken and Clove could brealy stand to look at him now, and he knew Penny not was at the best of terms with him either... but..but.. " You know it's true, and wanna know something more?. Your dear father Deathstroke raped one of my friends once." How suprising it was that Vanitas actually was saying something true for once. Leonidas, how once had been called for his 'friend' had been a victim to Deathstroke like so many others.

" It's only a matter of time before you will found a victim too, after all the rapist blood runs through your veins, Wilson. You have already hit your own flesh and blood, it's only a matter of time before you snap. " Breakout started to shake his head as he backed away until his back hit the tree and he would then crounch down to put his paws over his own ears as he tried to block it all out. " You have wrong!!, i would never do fucked up shit like that!..i'm not...my father...i'm not.. w-why would..." I'm not a bad guy!. He didn't wanted to be anyway, he was trying very hard not to be. But the world seemed to be against him on that front, to defend and protect the villains while painting him as one instead.

" This world is never gonna see that hun, neither will the cartel. Despite your best attempts to prove them differently your efforts have reached aboslutely no one. I'm afraid my friend you will never be viewed as anything else then a villain. This world dosen't care to acknowledge the good things you do in life only the bad ones... They will never understand you because they do not want to. Everything is just about them to make themself to the victims or...being to much of a coward to stand up. Sooner or later they will all bedray you to gain glory to themself because that's the true colors of you mortals. You cannot help yourself to sin, which is why Boss nothing you ever do will matter in the end. "

Breakout couldn't block this words out even if he tried and as he where being forced to listen would soon stop protecting his ears as they just fall down. So...no matter what he did he would always be hated, was that it?. Because of what Crimson had done, because of his blood relations to Deathstroke he was a lost cause?. No one would ever love him?, just wanting to use him?. No..no..he didn't wanted to believe that. His breathing started to increase and the flames fore up from underneath his paws as he started to become to emotional. If what Vanitas said were true then this world was a real fucked up one, and everyone...deserved to burn. All he could see was Crimson face, and all the pain he had brought him, all the pain he had been put through during his life and it hurt. It hurt. Why not burn all of the pain up?. If the world would never look at him anything more then just a villain, why not just burn it all up together?, so no one could ever hurt him anymore.

" That's right, nobody loves you and they never will. Why else would Reiki have abandoned you with that monster Crimson, when knowing full well what he was capable of doing?. And why would your other father Deathstroke start his new family with Feliks without even caring if you where alive or not?. They both abandoned you there with Crimson because they didn't care. Chicagocrimes too acted like she cared and loved you only to throw you away to defend Krieger how destroyed your home and killed your beloved twin brother Howard. Alcibiades hates you know because you broke his heart. Clove cannot even stand to see you and...Asimov....one day he is gonna stab you in the back to claim the crown, to kill you just like how you killed your own Godmother Orianna. Lastly your own kids wants nothing to do with you even wishing you where dead. So you see?, you're all worthless Darius. Nobody would even miss you if you died today. This world will never care for you. You're nothing more then filth. "

This azure blue orbs went blank as he slipt into his own little world and the flames spread itself putting the forest on fire. Vanitas hit all the sore spots, shattering him with his words alone and Breakout disappeared into himself while letting his flames lose to burn everything in it's path. Burn it all down. Let the world feel his pain. Vanitas was quite pleased with his accomplishment as he turned to watch as his little devil flames spread itself to destroy everything it touch and it made him smirk, a laughter bubble itself out from his mouth. Yes, this was what he had wanted all along. To watch the world burn down into ashes, one clan at the time. Such a wonderful day to see, to watch as everyone would burn for thier disgusting sins and he would always be there watching it all.

The forest will rise high in blue to destroy everything in it's path. The king shall fall choked by the snake.

Under the meantime Breakout had crawled himself up inside of himself to completely shut himself of and let the hell outside break itself lose. There was no point...he just gave up. " SNAP OUT OF IT!!." a voice loud and clear roared up and as Breakout lifted up his head with wet cheeks would be meet with a 'fist' punched straight into the side of his cheek which send him straight towards the 'ground'. Startled over what just had happend and by the fact how painful that hit had felt the Godfather looked up and who he saw there made his eyes widen up. " S-Sol?..." It had to be a mistake yet there he stood, the silver pelted direwolf with the eye-patch and the emerald orb glaring straight down at him. Breakout did had seen him in the past but he was just an illusion, a fracture of his memory with him to keep him alive, or so he had thought...But if so...why had that punch felt so real for?. " Shit, ya can't be real..." he would mumble in disblief. He could hear how the former Godfather made a 'tch' sound before narrowing his orb. " Of course i'm real, did you thought i was just a haunted memory all of this time?. If that was so, why would i push you back to life?." he asked, and when mentioning it Breakout remembered seeing a silver pelted wolf when he had been close to death after the ruins raid.

" When i died one small piece of my soul embarked with yours. I was to small though, to weak so i have just been living inside of you all of this time unable to really reach to you aside from some few times. But i have grown stronger for each day and i finally was able to reach you, in the right time too. " he would explain but realised quickly that none of this made much sense to his former apprentice. He suppose that made sense. Sollux would sigh before approching over closer to the hellhound so he could reach out a paw in a attempt to place it upon his head. " You've done well Breakout, m' proud over you. The cartel have become strong again thanks to you. " he would give a side looking smile and from someone like Sollux how never smiled it was the best one to be hoping for.

This pat on his head meant so much for the hound, to hear this words from his own former Godfather and mentor he had looked up to made him let out a sob. " But Boss...i have failed...i..i'm feeling so alone..i-i have nob-" he was cut there as Sollux now hit his other cheek so he would fly to the floor once more. " Stop with your pitiful whining. You have nothing you say?, fucking bullshit!. You've the whole cartel!, they are your fucking family, the only one you need to keep your back." he would say firmly as he glared down at the Godfather clearly pissed and lacking much patience with this whole 'feel sorry for me' bullshit.

" Listen, you shouldn't trust anything that fucking snake has to say. He is full of bullshit. He always has been. He just wants to break you down so you can destroy the world for him, that's all he ever have fucking wanted. Vanitas real name's Dimitri, he is the red snake and the one how laid behind what happend back then with the fire. You need to know the truth so i will give you the whole story. Dimitri hired Deathstroke to kill my son Ladon and served his cut up body into a box to deliver on my border. It made me lose my mind, and i thought all vampires how lived in the cartel was working for Dimitri. I lost my faith in my own fucking people. Dimitri got what he wanted but i won't allow that to happen now. I won't let history repeat itself, got it?. So get your fucking shit together and get the fuck up and fight. Your people needs you and if you do nothing but seat here whinning and crying while letting your fire destroy everything you loves, and everyone how cares for you then he will win, Do you understand?, have i made myself clear?."

Breakout listen, feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of this but once he was done his gaze dropt to his paws, still not fully convinced. " But Sol...i'm his son..." he found it difficult to say that, wondering how Sollux would feel about him being the son to the assassin how had murderd his son. " Yeah, i already know that. I knew it from the first time i saw you. I could have killed you back there, i was thinking about it too but...i just didn't and i don't regret my decision. I don't give a shit who your parents are." Hearing him say that meant alot. It was like he had been waiting for someone to tell him that. For Sollux too because he had always been wonderd how he would have thought about him if he had known. Turned out he had known all along. Making up his mind Breakout would finally stand up as he wiped the tears away before firmly nodding his head, the will power inside of him returning. This fucking Dimitri, he wouldn't let him destroy his family.

" Come on lets save your family."

Back outside Vanitas was enjoying how far the fire had spread and wondered if it had touched to burn anyone yet. He was dancing between the flames (even if he keep his distance) and hummed to himself, founding this to be one of the most wonderful moment he had have here in agrelos this far. However he soon noticed something changing, the flames that burned so fiercly no longer spread out of control but they now waved back and forth so calmlt, so tame. No longer could he feel the warmth of this heating flames they had turned so cold. Confused he would look back at the hellhound how stood up now with closed eyes. Staring at him watched when Breakout opend his eyes and the left of his eye where emerald now, revealing that cold and familliar look Vanitas despised so much. Bloody hell, this can't be happening...Vanitas thought but despite that smiled, knowing things had changed now and things where about to get so much more exciting.

It was then the battle begin between the two.

It went on for a while, Breakout using all skills he had to use them against Vanitas but he was quicker, faster, more experienced but he did got in some hits, to slash up the side of his face and leaving bruises. Breakout then got kicked away as he fall backwards and landed close to the edge of the cliff. He was badly injured at this point, bleeding and weakend. Despite this forced himself back up refusing defeat and as he turned....all of the suddenly Vanitas's sword cut right through his chest to come out on the other side. Wided eyed he stared at the kitsune how was smirking back at him. To fast...he hadn't been able to see that one coming. Coughing out blood Vanitas would move the sword to force the Godfather to back closer to the edge while liftening the sword up so Breakout would be forced to stand up on his back legs while graping around the blade to prevent it from cutting in any deeper. He wore a pained expression, knowing he had failed in the end. Whatever he seemed to do always failed to protect those how matterd the most to him... I'm sorry Aleksei, i'm sorry Clove...Big bro... i tried...i really did but i couldn't beat him... He thought out to the ones closest to him, to the ones that crossed his mind but soon all faces of the cartel arrived to his head as well.

" Did you really thought you could defeat me?, haha, you're a such joke!. Hmh, since you ruined my pretty little fire now...i guess i will have to stick around for a little further to found a new way to destroy this clan." Vanitas would say and chuckled darkly, tails swinging back and forth while blood dropt down from his mouth, blood on his teeths because yes he had taken a little bit of a snatch from Breakout's neck which had weaken him too. " Hmh, since Asimov will become the new Godfather i suppose he could be the next one for me to play with?. How about i make his whole family turn against him?, or make his forced to choice, the Asimov family or the cartel?. Aha, or i could hire Deathstroke again to make him kill Makariy for me and serve his body in a box to him!. So many delightful ideas!, how difficult it's to just pick one, i wish i could pick them all. " he giggled, but there was somebody how didn't and that was Breakout. He growled at him between the pain.

" Don't you dare fucking touch him you..piece of shit!. I won't let you touch anyone of them." he would growl and spat some of his blood right into the kitsune's face. Even now close to death door he keept his fight spirit up. After his talk with Sollux and getting brought back again understood it didn't matter what the cartel thought about him. He would still protect them, he would even die for them. He would give his all just to keep them safe from a sicko like this one. So he couldn't lose, he couldn't give up and die like this... He gritted his teeths as Vanitas pushed on the sword again to bring him even closer to the cliff to push him out now only the sword keeping him from falling to his death below with this sharp rocks.

Breakout throw a gaze down not until now realising how far up they where. Shit, this was fucking crazy!. Was he going to die like this?. Failing once again?. No, he couldn't let this happen. Breakout did not wanted to die like this. If he was going down so would Dimitri. " Tell me something Wilson, why do you try so hard to protect people when you know they will just stab you in the back?. Why protect a clan how dosen't care whether you live or die?." Narrowing his orbs at this words found that question to be damn obivious and clear. He might have been lost before but he would never lose his reason of fighting. Breakout then did the unexpected. He used his last strenght to grap a firm hold on the edge his back paws stood on while graping a tight hold on the sword and then he moved himself forward so the sword would cut even deeper just so he could reach Vanitas and grapt a tight hold of his shoulders. " Because they're my family!. " he snarled as blood dript down his mouth and would give the bastard a bloody cocky grin and with that he pushed with his back legs to send both him and Vanitas over the edge and as he did so he set both of them on fire with his flames. Breakout was immune towards his own fire but Vanitas was not.

Vanitas started to scream as they fall and Breakout did his best to keep Vanitas in a firm embrace so he couldn't escape, wanting him to burn to feel the furt of his flames, however the strenght was leaving him and Vanitas broke himself free but he was still on fire as he fall. Breakout had no idea what would happen next to the kistune he no longer paid attention to it. He just stared up towards the sun as he was falling down towards his death realising this was it, this was how he was going to die and he felt relieved. Was this how it felt like to die when knowing you had done it for the right reason?. To die knowing he had done everything he could to protect his family?. Oh, he felt at peace at final last. It kinda felt good to die like this even if probably nobody would even know what had happend today, to know the sacrifice he just had done. But that was okay. As long they where all safe that was what mattered.

Breakout closed his eyes and smiled. I will finally get to see Howard again.

and with that Breakout fall down into the ocean to disappear underneath the ocean and it's waves, and Vanitas burned body could be found speared by one of the sharp rocks, and on the top of the cliff laid Breakout's chain necklace that had fallen of before he had fallen, and with that,

Breakout's life come to an sudden end.

Breakout was amazed by his brother how seemed to be something on the trail here when it come to the sickness. " If you think that's going to work i'll be sure to announce it out later, but..mushrooms?. You think mushrooms are the cause behind this, brother?. " he would say not having heared about it up until now. If that was true then they finally was getting somewhere to solve where this sickness come from and if it was from mushrooms and if they burned them down...would that solve this whole problem?. " I'm gonna send out a patrol to search for this mushrooms then and bring them to you, and let me know if there is anything you need. Maybe some of those how are sick would be willing to let themself get tested too. We can always check, right?." he was a bit thoughtful but also felt his chest a bit lighter now when his brother was something on the trail and he trusted him completely too. " Also make sure to tell Clove and Wavepool about this unless you already have." More brain working together was better then one after all.

His gaze then turned to Angelbeats and he gave her an apologic look. " Sorry for uhm, being in ya husband room like this Angie, but i think Penny is in the infirmary right now. All sick should be staying in there." he would tell his Underboss before catching sight of Batterychicken as well one of the few how had got cured from the sickness somehow. It was a good sign really which meant maybe all of them would get cured eventually too. He could always hope, right?. " Hey Battery?, you wouldn't mind to want to work as Ghoulians test subject?. You got cured from the sickness after all, i think it could help to sort this sickness out if they could run some tests on you. " he would ask him before catching what his brother said and would lift up a paw and let a azure blue flame catch life inside of his paw pads before leaning his paw over the hole. " Better now?." he asked, trying his hardest to be helpful as much he possible could.

Breakout would listen to Circe story and he had always been a fair guy how wasn't one to judge and assume the worst of someone especially in a case such like this one. " Penny too was acting in a unstable state... and i heared my daughter too was acting out for some few days ago." he would say and felt a bit uneasy, this sort of sickness really took a different level here. Whatever was causing this seemed to be making the victim to lose thier mind and a sense of reality. " Thank ya for acting so quickly Circe, and i'm glad you didn't get hurt." he would tell her, believing her story and would dismisse anyone how said anything else. Breakout would cast a warning look at Oceana before moving on over to help Circe to move Yakova to a better place but his mind was a bit up there in the clouds. What where they suppose to do now?. If Yakova would turn out to become a threat to his own clanmates... It was a difficult situation and the Godfather grimaced. " How am i suppose to deal with this?." he would mutter mostly to himself but since Circe was close to where he was standing she might as well have heared him. Breakout did not liked this. Why did this had to happen to the cartel for?.

Breakout was glad to see that Jace was a man of his word at least. He actually liked people like that how keept to thier word and was honorable, and maybe if things had been different between them if they not lead two clans how hated one another Breakout might actually have grown fond of Jace since the two seemed to share some things in commen, especially when it come in harming kids. What a shame that Jace not could follow through his morals though, not like Breakout did how fought hard for no kids to ever get harmed by an other adult. " Hey Hyp, are ya okay?." Breakout would ask his thug first noticing she was possible hurt something he not liked to see but he just had to accept it and be glad she was back with them at least. What would happen in the future was something he could think about later. Right now he needed to focus on his two sick daughters to found a way to get them better and recover from the sickness. That was the most importand thing for him right now concerned and worried Damaskrose and Mazikeen would end up like Penny or Yakova. For his two daughter how he loved more then anything in the world he would do anything for, to sacrifice anything for, even his own pride and hatred for the ruins.

There was no way he was going to lose two of his kids for a fued that was between adults. He refused to let his daughters to become the sacrificed lamp for something they never had been apart of. They where innocent, innocent in the game of war the adults always played on one another, a game he was tired of playing and not was he going to use his own daughters like pawns in the whole mess only adults could create for themselves.

His gaze then turned to Jace and gave him a nod of approval. " Now when you have keept one part of our deal and showed me i can believe your word by returning Hyperdrive to us we can further discuess the plan with your physicians and my nurses. I promise your physicians will be safe while they are here and if anyone tries to break it i will punish anyone how tries to break our agreement. But i understand there is not much trust between our groups so if you want i will allow three or four of your warriors to come here and keep an eye on your physicians while they are here. But pick them wisely. I won't tolerate unecessery conflicts and they most be free from symptoms. "

Breakout was blinded with panic as he run into the burning infirmary not hearing Angelbeats even calling out to him from behind. He was far to focused to found Mazikeen and Damaskrose in there to get them out before they got hurt. Please be okay, please be safe!. His heart was in his throat as he run before hearing something crack from above, and there was apart of the infirmary's roof that had broke and was falling right down towards him. He manged to dodge out of the way by throwing himself of to the side, to roll out of the way. Panting was glad for the mask that was around his mouth right now it helpt to not get his lugns filled with the toxic smoke to posion his lugns.

It was then he saw her though, the calico colored hellhound how stand there in the middle of the room, unmoving and with the smokes in the way it was hard to see her properly. " DAMASKROSE!!." he would call out to her, feeling relief and would run himself right over towards her. " Thank god you're okay Rosa!!. Come on we need to get you out of here!." he said while removing of his own mask to place it on his daughter face instead to protect her from the smoke. Not wasting any time and know it was importand to get her out from here as quickly as possible so he could contunie on his search after Mazikeen. To his suprise though Damaskrose didn't moved, not even giving him as much like a respons. " Rosa?," he still didn't get a reaction from here and neither had they time for this either. Breakout decided if he was forced to would have to pick her up by the scruff to get her out from here, even if she probably wouldn't like it that much.

He took a step closer and placed a paw upon her shoulder. " Rosa!, we need to get out of here right now!." he told her and was about to go through with his plan but...it was then he was catch of guard as Damaskrose suddenly lunged at him and bite sinked her teeths right into his shoulder. Shooked and feeling the unexpected pain the Godfather would let out a slight growl but he didn't backed away, refusing to move just gritting his teeths as the blood started to drip down from his shoulder. " Rosa?!, stop it!, we need to get you!." he would say as he tried to gentle pull her away but her teeths was sinked deep in and she refused to let go making the bite deeper and even more painful. Growling lowly in pain Breakout had to be quick to think something out realising something was not right with Damaskrose right now and...

it was then apart of the roof fall down right above them.

Breakout was familliar with that sound and realised what was about to happen so knew he needed to react fast. His eyes widen while he grapt a tight hold of his daughters shoulders to push her away with all power he had to save her from the falling roof, and as she crashed against the floor with a part of his fur inside of her mouth the roof come towards him instead, and the pieces of the roof fall right on top of him burying him underneath it. Damaskrose however was quick to recover herself as she rose back up on her paws but she barely even looked back at the pile of the falling pieces of the roof that laid over her father instead running of with her back against the hellhound to head towards the entrance while blood from her father driping down from her maw.

// Breakout got buried underneath when some of the roof fall on top of him and could need some rescue

// TW for mention of child abuse in this post! and child trauma! sensible readers have been warned! You can skip to the last paragraph if not wanting to read the rest! the last paragraph is safe!

He didn't know why he had got pulled to that room not until he had spoted the other child. She was not much younger then he was. She might be three moons old while he was four. It was clear how she felt over this situation. He could see the fear in her eyes, and how much she was trembeling and crying. Darius would watch her with a uncertain and confused look and was about to ask if she was okay but..." I want you to kill her." Crimson's voice would demand behind him and as the hellhound turned his head around to face the much bigger canine would stare in disbelief, standing there wondering if he had heared right. Kill her?. Darius glanced back at the other crying child. " Go on do it."

It would take a moment or two for Darius to think this through knowing what would happend if he didn't obey. With his already bruised and beaten up body from a earlier lesson from the day before knew what was to be expected. Maybe if he killed this girl just like Crimson wanted of him it would save him from a day in pain. Obeying might be his ticket to get out from here. Darius would take steps closer to the shivering and crying girl how only was one month younger then him but still thier lives where so different. He had seen so much from her already, and from what he could tell her life had probably been a complete normal one right before Crimson had taken her from her family or killed them. He didn't know. Never had he killed anyone before though so it would be his first time if he went through with it. Killing to save his own skin. Killing someone so he wouldn't end up hurt himself.

Darius turned himself around to face Crimson while standing in a protective position in front of the girl while narrowing his orbs at the assassin. " Fuck of you crazy manaic!. " he would snarl and bared his teeths. There was no way he was going to do it. He had never obeyed this asshole and wasn't going to start doing so now either. He wasn't going to kill this girl to save himself. That wasn't right. So he stood tall, defensive and felt strong with his decision...however...he was only a child and Crimson was an adult, an adult he just had pissed of.

Crimson had made sure to punish Darius for talking back yet a other time. His fire power had awoken in the heat of the moment when he had tried to defend himself but...he had lost and Crimson had made sure to mark him for life to teach him a lesson on what happend if not doing as he was told. His front right leg had got burned. Flesh and fur burned of from his leg as Crimson had force his leg in front of the flames fire and it had hurt alot and after the assassin was done beating him up like a bloody pulp had thrown him back inside of his cell. " Darren...Darren are you okay?." his father had asked from the other cell, staring at his son with concerned purple eyes. Darius had opend his eyes to look over at his father but didn't want him to worry about him so had said the only thing he could have said. " I'm fine...papi." he had always looked out after his father. He was so fragile after all and already so broken.

" Good...good. fine. Yea, we will be fine. Deathstroke will come for us. Promise..promise. You will see. You will...hmh-hmh." Reiki started to mumble already looking distant again as he had returned back to his own little world, the broken one. Darius could just watch it all while knowing there was nothing he could do about it but perhaps it was for the better. Maybe it was better that Reiki was this way right now... As long they where together knew everything would be fine in the end....

But he had left him. Reiki had left him there saving himself and him alone and what happend next...what happend next...the red door. " Since your whore to father run of you gotta take his place now. " Crimson had said before dragging him to that room with the red door. It hurt so much he had screamed. He had screamed and screamed after his father, praying that Reiki would come back to him but he never had. No one had ever come. I won't become like him. I will never become a monster.

Who do you want to be then?.

" BREAKOUT!!."

Breakout's eyes shut open and the first face he saw was Clove...Clove?. What was she doing here?. He tried to get up but he just couldn't for some reason and his attempt made him feel pain. It was then he smelt the smoke, it was then he remembered the fire and... " Clove..Damaskrose..where...is she? " Where she okay?. Breakout then saw Angelbeats how seemed to be trying to help getting him loose as well...Right the roof.. He was stuck. But he couldn't be. He still needed to found Mazikeen and Damaskrose.. Gritting his teeths Breakout put his paws underneath himself and tried to push himself up to free himself with the help of Clove and Angelbeats. He couldn't lay here. He needed to get out from here. His daughters needed him and he wouldn't leave them or abandon them, not like how Reiki had abandon him.

Breakout should probably not be walking around so soon after the fire since his body was still sour and in a bit of pain. But he struggled himself through it now with them having gone down on members how was capable to walk around knew it was his responsibility to be doing so. He hadn't expected to come across a shadow veiler today and wondered if they not had heared what was going on here right now...To be fair the veil where not one of thier associates so found no reason to why he should go over to them and warn them about the sickness but that didn't meant he wouldn't inform them over the danger of being here. " Yo, sorry for being a such boomer mate but uhm, the cartel have been forced to stop thier business for a while. There's a sickness running around our clan at the moment. I don't think it's good for you to be here right now for your safety sake." he would say and felt a bit on guard. He had always felt a bit uncomfortable around the veilers after a past encounter with one of them. Well it hadn't been a pleasant time really. Noticing the apprentice had something with him though catch the Godfather's attention and he looked a bit dumbfounded. " What's...that ya have there?." he would ask, founding it strange for a clan they not really had any relationship with to come here with what looked like a gift basket of sort. Huh, strange.

Someone how had noticed Soren's absent was Breakout and after the patrol he had sent out not had found any trails after the girl the Godfather had decided to take it upon his own paws to go out there and found her himself, personally. Breakout was good to found trails and to follow them so there the patrol had failed the hellhound had succeeded. To think how far Soren had got themself though was a bit amazing but concerning all at the same time. Hopefully nothing bad had happend to her though that would have sucked and made him feel very bad. For once luck was on his side today since as he was on his way down to Ivoria would actually come to sniff up Soren's scent and not was she that far away either. He would follow it quickly which brought him to where she was.

" There ya are kiddo!. " Breakout would call out as he come out from some bushes and instantly started to look after any injures on her while coming closer up to the runaway while. " Do ya know how long i have been searching for you, huh?. " he would say, not looking all to happy with her know when he could tell no one had taken her which meant she probably had left all on her own. That was not cool. He didn't liked for kids to run of on thier own when the world could be so dangerous out there. At least he had found her so was glad over that.

Heh, well this had been a fun thing to see and with everything going on right now a little prank like this one could do all of them some good. To bad it was Batterychicken how got to be the victim for it though knowing very well that Battery lacked most humour, if not lacking any at all. He was quite grumpy, a total party ruiner how no one would want to invite to the party to be honest. Releasing a short chuckle the Godfather would approach closer to Batterychicken and attempted to give him a brotherly slap to his back. " Hey now bud, give the kid some slack, alrighty?. Beside it was hilarious to watch." he said with a chuckle and grinned at the canine while curiously wondering how had pulled this prank to begin with. If he had been that kid might have been hesitant to show his face right now, Battery didn't looked like the type how would let this prank go without scolding the poor kid first. But the prank would still have been worth it.

Ghoulian was partly the one to thank for this. He had figured out mushrooms had been laying behind this spreading sickness and so he had taken it upon himself to further investigate it to found out which one mushroom exactly was causing this. With some help (anyone could have been apart of this) had located which mushrooms exactly was the rot of this much troubling problem. Breakout still felt sore after the fire and after having got a part of the roof over him, not to mention the memory he had got a flashback from still hanging heavily inside of his head. Who did he wanted to be exactly?. Breakout had never really thought about that. He had always thought about who he not wanted to become. Sollux was a role-model he had wanted to end up like to become he suppose, but was that really the answer to his question though?. Right now was not the time to think about this however and despite his sour body refused to lay still and rest, now was not the time for this after having found out this good discovery.

" Hey cartelians!. We have finally found out where this sickness comes from. It have been caused by some mushrooms and i with the help of some others have figured out which mushroom this is about. So those how still have strenght and energi left after the fire i want ya to come with me so we can burn this fucking parasites down to the ground. Remember to carry masks though so you don't get infected, apperantly it's the spores that's have been the pain in the ass here." he would announce and despite the hardship that had been going on here lately felt actually a bit better today for once now when there where on the right trail to get ride of this sickness. Now the nurses just needed to come up with a cure, if not burning the mushrooms alone would do the trick but if so the ruiners probably would have become better by now as well.

Breakout too wanted to make sure Clove was okay after having been told she had catch the sickness but as he entered the room she had been placed in now with the infirmary being burned down to the ground... found so many others in there already how was more then willingly to help out to take care and look out after thier Capo. That made him feel a little bit out of place here, and a bit of a burden too. There was not really anything he could do for her. Ghoulian was the medic here and Battery already had offered her some tea...Worry kicked his guts, feeling this fear of losing her even if they not really had have anyone how had died in this sickness since it seemed more to be this sickness made people lose thier damn mind. But it still was something that worried him, still having Azumi's grief weightening him down but hadn't really had any time to properly grieve her since he had distracted himself away from dealing with that by focusing on this sickness instead.

Breakout would stop at the back of the room while remaining in silence. They hadn't really spoken to each other since that night. Both had have thier own things to deal with during this difficult time and he know she wasn't special happy with him when it come to his decision with the truce with the ruins. But he couldn't think about others hurt feelings right now but had to put the cartel first...his daughters health first and to beat this fucking sickness. The fire had hurt him too, but he had bandged up himself this time around not wanting to be bothering the busy nurses how had more urgent and importand matter right now to deal with, like working on the cure which seemed they seemed to be close to now. That was a good sign. He just needed to let the nurses keep doing thier work.

He stayed put solely being here to make sure Clove was okay and had everything she needed after everything she had done this sort of attention was something she deserved. He just felt bad he couldn't do more for her especially after everything she had done for him. He just didn't know what to say to her right now.

" Cartelians!, gather for a meeting!." Breakout would call out as he slowly made it into the meeting room, feeling a bit sour still after the fire incident but despite it all though with the good news he had been informed about recently actually felt like there was a light out from the dark tunnel. Yeah, he needed to focus on that and not think about anything else. Waiting for everyone to gather themself which actually was outside of the mansion this time around since well, they probably shouldn't all be crowded in one single room right now.

" Like always lets welcome our new cartelians this week. CARDI B.   ALMOS   Ophelia -   goldentower. Big welcome, glad to have ya all here despite this difficult time. Also welcome back HYPERDRIVE H.D. glad to have ya with us again. We will soon have a new and better organized buddy system up again so make sure to keep a eye out for that if wanting help to get around here." he would say as he gave them a nod before moving on.

" Like everyone already know a fire was started in the infirmary and it's in a bad shape right now. The sick have been moved to the meeting room now which is why we not are having this meeting there right now. While this whole thing sucks i actually comes with some good news. We have located where the sickness comes from which are the mushrooms and we will burn them down which hopefully will stop the sickness from spreading and us not having to wear the masks anymore. The nurses are also working on a cure, Ghoulian and Wavepool have reported they are on the right track so with some fucking luck the cure will be out in some few days after they have run some few more tests. But it looks like the sun is finally smiling at us again." or some of us anyway.

" Unfortunately both Asimov and Clove is not feeling so well at the moment but hopefully they will be back with us soon again. I also wanna thank circe . for not only acting out so quickly to prevent Yakova to hurt anyone or himself but i also heared she helpt Ophelia and Angelbeats to get out from that fire. Because of this courage i wanna reward your bravely by both giving you the Fresh blood title and promote you up to a Cugine. " he would try to found her out there in the crowd so he could give her a nod before moving on.

" Everyone probably knows by now that we currently have a truce with the ruins which will contunie until the sickness are completely over and we will work with thier physicians. I know many disapproves over this truce or to have ruinners here but right now we cannot think of ourselves and our hatred for each other or differences but think of the bigger picture here. We have a bigger and more dangerous enemy to worry about right now. So i expect everyone to behave yourselves or thier will be consequences. We can go back and kill each other later when we not have a sickness breathing down our necks." he would be firm with this words not going to accept to listen on a argument that was against him right now.

What he should have announced next should probably have been about Azumi's death but...Breakout didn't even bring it up...because he still had a hard time to accept it and progressing through it so even speaking about it right now was to much to handle right now.

" elysiandemon. is demoted. neo p. gets her final warning. CAIRO. and SCARLET! gets thier first warnings. BATTERYCHICKEN i would like to promote ya up to Lieutenant of the Narcotics division. YAKOVA you can step up to become a Cugine. Ophelia - you gets the Spitefire title. Shout outs goes to everyone this week especially the nurse division for working so hard to deal with this sickness. I would like for someone to hold the weekly tasks this week, that's all. Everyone is dismissed."

// I'm gonna skip the summary this week but there's something i have to unfortunately bring up again, and that's how some open threads still gets overlooked/ignored. I really don't like to see this and i really don't like to keep on bringing this up either but i will keep on doing so until i see improvements on this front. Everyone how joins here i want to feel welcomed and included, and i'm trying my best to make this to a good and welcoming enviroment for everyone but i cannot do it all on my own. People are leaving and gets a bad experience of the cartel which i do not want to happen!. We need to get better at this, both icly and occly. I really hope once Madster have got up the new buddy system some improvements will get seen around here, and i'm going to try to think of ways too but please keep your eyes open for threads with little replies and acknowledge them it will do so much and plot with people!, post in thier plotting threads it's good to found new people to plot with too outside your plot friends bubble. I'm not saying you have to reply to all of them, but replying to 2-3 of them will make a HUGE difference. On discord we have the thread advertisement go and look in there for threads that needs replies!, and go to the second page to look for threads too because sometimes this threads gets pushed back there. And remember you can post the priv threads in a different board too, priv threads can also make the open threads disappear on the board. Of course everyone can do what they want but please keep that in mind.

Now lets jump into the next week and i want to see everyone work a little harder on interacting more in other peoples open threads!, new as old ones!. Lets make everyone love cartfam as much as we do!, lets make this to a good and fun enviroment for everyone!. I know we can do it!

Breakout was completely exhausted and tired after this day and he still felt sour after having got apart of the roof all over him. With this shitty day over with though and with the meeting all over and done with there was only one thing left on his day to do and that was to drink. During the day he could focus on the sickness to keep himself all busy but during the night it was alot more difficult which was why he seeked out for the liquer. It was better that in a attempt to drown away his sorrow and grief, still having a real difficult time to come and accept that Azumi was dead, that was why he hadn't announced it out because he was still progressing it and in a way he was in a bit of denial over it. He didn't wanted it to be true after all.

But before he would return back to his office to drink himself all wasted was going to take a damn smoke. So he seated himself outside of the mansion while lightening himself one and draw in one blow into his lugns before puffing the smoke out. He took in a other one while glancing up at the night sky to stare at the stars. It was a bit unfair that the night had to look so beautiful tonight. Made him want to shoot the fucking sky down. If only he could do that, huh?. But of course he couldn't.

Angelbeats~

Breakout had returned back to the burned down infirmary which where completely ruined. They could build it back up again he was sure of after all of this was over but what had caused this?. Breakout carried his mask as he walked around trying to search for any trails of sort that could help him out to get a better explanation on what had happend here the night before. It was strange how a fire just had started like that out of the blue. His throat then started to tickle all of the suddenly so started to cough a bit which was not easy with the mask on him, so he removed it of so it would be easier for him to cough. He had breathed in alot of smoke yesterday and he hadn't really checked himself up, just stitching himself up and everyone who knew him know Breakout not was special good with the medicial skills. He sucked at it to be honest. But he didn't wanted to burden the nurses, they where already so busy with everything that was going on so had thought it would be better if he just stayed out of the way. But he should probably let someone take a look on him though but he was to stubborn to do so.

// circe . sorry for bad starter post!

Breakout was out and about making sure everything was at it's order and everything. He looked a bit worn out and jaded not having to much sleep, in the first place he couldn't remember when he had got a proper sleep last time. His head was a little bit up there in the clouds and he let out a big yawn through his mask and almost didn't see Doppio down there so was about to walk right into him. He stopt himself right before he did so though but would blink his eyes as he stared down at him with a dumbfounded look at first before he remembered that...Doppio was sick, wasn't he?. " Hey bud, aren't ya one of the sick ones?. " he would ask but knew he was not really the best one to keep track on everyone how was sick or not. He tried to but right now he was extremely tried so his memory was failing him a bit.

VINEGAR DOPPIO

Remind him again on why he had come here again for?. Proms where just not his thing for so many reasons as well. Firstly, he fucking hated the dress code. Hating to put himself on a tuxedo suit and fix his hair so it would glow and be all shiny. Ugh. Having to carry a damn tie was not his taste either. Everyone how know Darius well enough knew he was the rebel back at school. The troublemaker how dressed himself in a way all teachers where against. His arms where covered in tattoes, his jeans usual ript of little here and there and he always carried this black leather jacket with spikes on the shoulders. Lets not talk about his hair which where shaved short at the sides while having the top of his hair fallen over or what he liked to do most of the times, groom it backwards. So many colors he had dyed his hair in at this point he had even lost count. Tonight though his hair was dyed in a ashen brown color although he did have been tempted to dye it green just because he knew the teachers would have lost thier jaws if he had done that, and probably get kicked out as well.

Despite his distaste for proms though had showed up anyway in the end dressed in a black tuxedo with a maroon red shirt underneath, but he had fucking thrown the stupied tie in the trashcan. He had tried some couple of times to fix it before he had got frustrated and just had given up on it. So the trashcan it had went and he had instead left some buttons opends to reveal some of his chest, and his hair where back slicked like always just not this glowing and shiny bullshit crap.

Darius entered the building with the hands put inside of his pockets as he was walking through the crowd until he heared someone called out to him. Glancing over to found out who it was found his little gang he always hanged around. They where all cool and often they caused mishief on the street together. It was alot better then having to go back home after school. Grinning the teen would walk over to his gang and greeted them with a bro fist before accepting a glass one of the guys gave him while whispering they had sneaked in sprit in it. Sweet. Just what he wanted right now, some alcohol already breaking the rules on the none-aclohol prom. Such fucking bullshit anyway. Taking a sip from his glass he would take a step back to lean his back against the wall and started to talk with his gang, but now and then he was looking through the crowd like he was searching for someone. There was a reason he had come here after all to force himself to this boring and meaningless night, well it would have been if it wasn't for her. Yup, he had come here tonight because he wanted to see Clove all dressed up in a nice and beautiful prom dress. They where friends and nothing more then that but he would be a fool if he tried to deny the attraction he felt for her. He had put on this stupied suit tonight just so he could meet her tonight, that was if she even would show up.

Talk about a waste of time if she didn't even showed up, huh?.

He couldn't helpt but to feel worried for Clove. He had been trying to keep himself busy with his duties as the Godfather and help out in any way he could for the cure to get out as quickly as possible. His brother was doing a very good job he had to admit and it seemed like he was something on the right trail here which was good to see. However, Clove had got stricken by this sickness and after how he had seen how everyone how had been infected had reacted by it, to lose themselves like that felt very worried and concerned for his friend, and apprentice. What if she would lose her mind too?. Like having two of his daughters sick not was bad enough already. Darius had decided to take some time off not thinking there was much else he could do at the moment anyway and in one or the other way had ended up outside of the room Clove currently was resided in. But he just stood out there looking at the door like a fool. He couldn't even say why he not could bring himself to knock on that door right now...he didn't know why he felt the way he did right now but he just didn't know what to say to her...

" Boss?, what're you doing here?. Oh!, are you here to visit Clove?. That's just great!. I was about to give her some dinner but i really need to head back so you wouldn't mind to give her the food, right?." The nurse had come up and Darius could tell she was tired and a bit stressed. No wonder there, he knew it was a difficult time for everyone right now especially the nurses. But for him to give Clove the food though?. The Godfather opend his mouth and was about to protest but before she could the nurse already had given him the food plate and hurried herself away probably not aware of the conflicted situation she just had put her Godfather in. Looking down at the soup which was being served today it took some couple of seconds before he realised the situation he had been forced into now. " Fucking damn it." he would curse under his breath, sighing, he would glance back at the door again now not having any other choice then to visit his apprentice and Capo. There was no way he could just ditch the food plate there outside of her door.

Clearing his throat a bit awkwardly brought his hand to the door and knocked gentle three times on the door. " Uhm, Clove?. You awake?." he would say from the otherside while staying put outside and felt a bit uneasy for some reason. Like mentioned before he didn't know why he felt like this right now. Maybe it was because of thier previous conversation when he had literally dumped himself outside her door all wasted and crying and then later on they had...Fuck, this was not good was it?.

// CLOVE A. sorry this is a bit bad i'm very tired today, haha

" Hehe, yea but that's the point to laugh at others misfortune." He would tell Battery with a grin still founding this hella amusing and there was nothing Batterychicken could say to change that. If the tables had been turned he would still have laughted at it. Pranks was fun after all no question asked there. Breakout was curious too over to found out who had pranked his Lieutenant. Soren then shifted back into sight again along with a laughter. Oh, so it had been Soren huh?. Nice job kiddo. He thought and smiled at her glad to see Soren acting like a child how was so carefree and cheerful. He liked to see that. If only Damaskrose could act like this as well...he still blamed himself for his daughter always keeping for herself and looking so unhappy. " Your reaction was priceless." he would tease Battery before getting over to the kid and lifted out his paw towards her having it clenched and was trying to get her to 'fist bump' with him, or paw bump. " Nice done Sor!, i see potential of a real master trickster in the future!." he would praise and looked amazed. Pranking people was fun and he had always done that when he had been younger..when he had been living on the farm.

They had finally found the cure?. That was fucking amazing!. Just what he needed to here right now to get his day if only a little bit better. Breakout would be the first to approach it seemed like to take joy in this announcement and was glad all of this finally was over and that his two daughters finally could get cured and hopefully get back to normal again. " Great job everyone!, especially to our Nurses and uhm, the physicians too." he said and tried to found the two ruiners so he could give them a nod of gratitude. " Next is to give the cure then. The kids should get treated first and then we will go from there." he said and thought it was fair to start with the kids. Everyone would agree on that, the cartel at least. The ruins liked to sacrifice kids to thier god so...he wasn't sure where thier priority lay really. But glad he would be to finally get ride of them. He had never liked to have the ruins here so was glad they finally could walk thier separate ways.

" Yo buddy, nice seein' ya again." Breakout would greet the Boneclanner not having heared about them merging with a other clan and about thier name change. He was glad to see one of thier faces here again though. Now with the sickness finally having come to a end could finally go back on the lockdown and open the cartel's business again, and with Francium having come here it saved him a trip to head to one of thier associates to tell them about them kicking the ass of this mushrooms. Yeah. It had been some fucking annoying mushrooms how had caused his crewmates to go insane but it was all over now which glad him.
