Chapter 3: the primis insurance
"Dempsey, dempsey wake up" richtofen says as dempsey sits up "what the hell happened? First we were in russia now where are we?" dempsey asks confused and a little nauseous.
"That my friend is hard to explain" richtofen says with a sigh "it's best i show you" he adds walking away and dempsey noticed he was on a sofa, "hold on wasnt i just?" dempsey said to himself then shook the thought out of his head he was probably having another 115 based hallucination.
After getting to his feet and following richtofen out what he assumed was a living room dempsey saw nikolai and takeo walking out of a room to join them. "It's good to see you awake dempsey" takeo says "да i am with the samurai on this one" nikolai says with a nod, "glad to be awake i think those gum balls were starting to get to me" dempsey says with a chuckle and the four stopped when they heard a old english voice say "finally he is up."
"Doctor monty" richtofen says as the man in question walks down from the upstairs room doing up the tie of his new suit "doctor richtofen" monty says in return. "You four have done well the children are safe and there is no threat to them…" monty says being interrupted by takeo "and what of the summoning key?" takeo asks and monty sighs.
"Do let me finish takeo the summoning key was sent to a pocket universe far away from this one what kind of idiot leaves a powerful artifact laying around a house with children?" monty asks sarcastically.
"Wait children? Where?" nikolai asks "that was the bit i was going to show you three" richtofen says, "ah yes well i had to deal with little dempseys 'gift' earlier" monty says. "Hold on one moment so what i saw when i was out cold wasn't a hallucination?" dempsey asks you think the radiation from perks and wonder weapons would break your brain but no.
"Maxis sent you four to collect those souls they belong to the ORIGINAL yous think of it like looking into a mirror then that mirror being shattered you still see you just in different shards" monty says.
"Can we get on with this before i get headache" nikolai says and monty sighs "go on then" he says stepping to the side and the group keeps walking.
When the four got to a room labeled "nursery" takeo, dempsey and nikolai were instantly baffled. "Um what is going on? What did he do with our souls?" takeo asks concerned "don't worry it's best you see for yourself" richtofen says opening the door and the group walk in.
A small boy approximately 5 years old was sitting on a armchair in the corner with a book "you're late" the boy says closing the book "Sohn einer Hündin why does every version of me have to know how to read that damn book" richtofen thought.
"Doctor" the boy said shortly and richtofen sighed "I am still not calling you doctor, edward" richtofen says shaking his head. "Wait is that? THE GERMAN!? AS A KID!?" nikolai says coming to the realisation of what was going on.
"Hush nikolai the others need to rest" edward says leaving the book on the chair and walks over to the russian, "he is almost adorable" nikolai mocks and the expression edward gave did not help. Dempsey, takeo and richtofen rolled their eyes and edward made the group pay attention to the cribs "the cribs belong to you 3" edward said pointing to the cribs.
Takeo for one was shocked "so those are us?" takeo says still puzzled at the infantile version of himself reminding him of old paintings his mother had made of him. "Well my mama was right i was adorable when i was a baby" dempsey cooed at the baby version of himself.
"My бабушка said my parents would of been proud of me if i had a kid but this just makes me uncomfortable" nikolai says looking at the baby version of him. "Aw what's wrong nikolai do you need a cuddle?" dempsey said mockingly holding his arms out towards the russian, "careful american you saw what i did to the other version of the german do you want the same fate" nikolai threatened.
Takeo couldn't hold back the smile and joined in on the teasing "yes maybe our russian friend could use a hug" takeo taunted holding out his arms and nikolai started to walk away. "Come on takeo do not encourage him" nikolai said before quickly walking out of the room being chased by takeo and dempsey.
"I see why monty made them 2 years old… matches their maturity" richtofen says pinching the bridge of his nose and edward nods in agreement "try being on the moon with them" edward says "huh the moon? I already have haven't i?" richtofen asks.
"Well uncle monty said after we were given these bodies that we needed the 115 flushed out of us. He could snap his fingers and have it out like that but he said that would be too dangerous so he is doing it the old fashion way" edward says and richtofen blushed. "Umm edward doesn't that make you…" richtofen says and edward nods "samantha wont stop mocking me about it but what she does not know her treatment starts tomorrow" edward says smiling.
Maxis walks in and hugs richtofen "thank you edward thank you so much" maxis says and richtofen hugs his old teacher back "yes, yes old friend but what now?" richtofen asks. "Usually when i am done with people like you 4 i would wipe you from the universe but.." monty says striding in "Those blood vials those bloody blood vials" monty adds taking the empty vials off richtofen.
"THESE SHOULD NOT EXIST!" monty growls and edward slowly walks back "you promised that me and my friends would get to live here with you i just had to make an insurance policy" richtofen says standing tall.
Monty sighs "i am going to let you live here… but now with that blood in you.. You're too dangerous" monty says snapping his fingers and richtofen begins to fade. "Uncle monty noooo" edward whines and clings to montys leg "edward get off me i am not going to kill him.. I don't know what to do with him honestly" monty says.
Edward looks up sniffling "j-j-just send him back to the beginning monty p-p-lease" edward whimpers out and monty sighs "that all works out perfectly" monty says snapping his fingers and richthofen disappears and dempsey, nikolai and takeo disappear.
Monty then picks up edward and rubs his back "it's ok i didn't kill him quit the water works edward" monty says and maxis who was quiet through all this walks to monty. "You really had to do that in front of edward?" maxis says gently taking edward from monty's arms as samantha peaks in from behind the door.
"U-um daddy what is going on? And what did edward mean by 'treatment' for me" samantha squeaks out. Monty walks past samantha holding his hands up "hey i am just their uncle you're the one that wanted kids maxis" monty said.
"danke für nichts" maxis thinks as edward calms down "samantha you still have 115 in your system it came with you to here along with your soul… i am sorry" maxis says. Samantha was furious "DADDY! I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WEAR A DIAPER LIKE EDWARD!" samantha whines stomping her foot, "samantha shush you might wake the babies i don't want them to be cranky come on we can continue down stairs" maxis says leading the angry girl out of the room.
