"This is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart."

"Chase?" Donald Davenport exclaimed as soon as he skidded into the lab. "What's wrong? Leo said something about an emergency and Spike!" He stopped when he noticed that his adoptive soon was being unresponsive to his words.

Chase was hunched over like he was in pain or thinking hard.

-Commando App Engaged-

-Disengaged-

-Engaged-

-Malfunction-

Chase groaned in pain, his hands moving to grip his hair in pain, tugging at it as his mouth opened in a silent scream.

"Chase!" Several voices called out at the same time singling that the rest of the family were present.

"Guess again bubble necks!" Spike growled out as he straightened up his posture. Hands removing themselves from his hair.

"Spike? What? How?" Bree asked looking at her brother.

"Guess what whittle Chasey found?" Spike growled as he advanced menacingly on his family.

"What are you talking about? Why are you out?" Donald asked not understanding how the programme Spike was out.

"I guess none of you studied Chase's schematics hard enough to realise that I am not a mere glitch or bionic ability."

"What?!" Adam asked, not comprehending the point of the conversation. Or the conversation for that matter.

"If anything your dear brother is the glitch." Spike announced as he straightened up again.

"No... He can't be." Donald said looking to his brother for help.

"Spike stop messing with us." Bree demanded as she forced a laugh of confidence from her lips. "Chase a glitch? You are out of your mind."

"Yeah! You aren't as smart as you say you are!" Adam retorted as he pointed at Spike, a innocent smile on his face.

"Douglas... Tell me it's not true." Donald forced out as he turned to face his younger brother.

"It's true." Douglas murmured as he shifted his gaze to his feet that shuffled restlessly on the ground. "Chase is the Commando App."

"But how does that make sense, if Chase has always been with us?" Leo asked as he looked up to his mother who shrugged then to the two Davenport brothers. "Spike was all fight no flight, Chase was both?"

"Spike being over aggressive and the brute he was, was too unreliable on his own, his personality was bipolar, he shifted too much. He was a danger risk to himself and others. Wee created Chase, in hopes of calming Spike down. Chase was given control of his body. But there where times when Spike slipped back through to the surface. Spike was locked away in a metaphorical box at the back of his own mind. Chase was in control. But there where times whenever Chase was threatened physically or emotionally, when the raw pressure was to much for him, that he deactivated and Spike activated to take charge. I created Chase and planted him as the Commando App. But when it was evident that Spike was better as Chase, I locked the control so that Chase was able to grow up and learn. But somehow, someone has broken that lock and now Spike is free and Chase is no where to be found. Chase is gone." Douglas explained as he frantically typed away on the control desk, as he searched through a sea of memories and thoughts for Chase.

"What do you mean Chase is gone? How can someone be gone!? Just like that? Poof?" Leo screamed as he frantically looked around him, waving his arms around in severe agitation.

"According to this database, the programme where I designed Chase has been deleted, and it's recent. Whoever it was, hacked into my mainframe and unlocked my controls, deleted my programme and has now put a firewall up so now I can't trace the signal or try and retrieve the files. Chase is 'poof' gone." Douglas said as Donald moved to the cyber desk and also began to look through the database.

"No, no, no, no, this is not good. Not good at all. If Chase isn't retrieved within a given amount of time, Spike will malfunction and spontaneously combust." Donald said as he looked for ways to reverse the effect.

"How?"

"With the given amount of ability's on Chase... Er Spike's chip, it will overload, and combust, causing a chain reaction in the rest of his body. Spike has too much packed onto his chip. It was okay when Chase was a part of him, as he managed to take some of the weight. Chase had certain ability's but Spike has twice the amount. Without Chase, Spike will overload. Chase was not only the 'flight' or normal programme he was also a life reserver... He provided the help we could not. And now with him gone..." Donald continued trailing off as he let the impact of the situation set in.

"Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart."

Sup?! Okay I know this is long overdue, but I had good reasons as to why it wasn't posted earlier in the week.

I was über busy with a programme I was part of called "Swing", it was really fun and a pleasure to be a part of.

Okay, so I don't know if anyone has copped on to the lyrics I've been using to describe this story. If you haven't it's This Is Gospel by the amazing Panic! At The Disco. If you haven't listened to this song, I suggest you do! I have posted a video of P!ATD playing this song love on all my chapters, and I suggest you listen to it whilst reading as it just fits in so well.

If anyone wants to contribute ideas to this story, I am all ears and willing to listen.

QOTD: What colour are Adam and Bree's eyes in the show?

Peace✌️
