Scoop got to the residence of Sweet Loccino, Crunch, and Deviled Dish. He saw that Snooper was waiting right by the entrance, she had an emotionless expression as she hung her head. Scoop and Snooper made eye contact briefly before looking away, ashamed at themselves. Suddenly though the doors opened revealing Sweet Loccino, Toxic, and Petermint. Petermint's cheeks we're flushed as the boy looked incredibly tired.
Scoop and Snooper wordlessly walked inside and the door shut right behind them causing the two to jump. They continued to follow to group in tense silence,
"So, I bet your wondering why I called you here?" Toxic said not even looking back at the two as she had a firm grip on Petermint's shoulder. Scoop and Snooper nodded not daring to speak in utter terror. "Well, I need you all, my horndog included, to destroy all relationships with your friends. But, I realize it may be a bit difficult so we need to install something into your collars." She said, and the two gossips l looked at each other and gulped. Petermint on the other hand was too tired to be afraid, he simply nodded numbly. Toxic smiled wickedly and kissed Petermint on the lips, the boy was stunned hid eye's flying open. Petermint was very conflicted, he felt his love, fear, and hatred for Toxic burn. But his fear and love is what kept the boy from pulling back in fact he melted into the kiss and Toxic grinned even wider, she knew that Petermint was clueless on what to do and that is what harmed him in the end.
Finally Toxic pulled back and Petermint was able to breathe again, the boy gulped in air hesitantly using his lover and abuser as support. Scoop and Snooper cringed they truly thought that Petermint might at least have tried to put up a fight, but is appeared Toxic had made him docile. Finally the group stop when they got to one of the many torture chamber doors, the doors to the torture chambers we're always made of dark metal. Scoop and Snooper looked ready to run but as they turned around they saw Crunch. The black creature towered over them and with one hit with her first to their heads Snooper and Scoop we're out cold.
Petermint tensed up as the door opened and Crunch carried Scoop and Snooper down into the torture chamber.
"Don't worry, horndog. I won't let them hurt you as long as you never betray me. A nice sedative will send you to the land of dreams." Toxic said, and Petermint simply nodded before he was lead down the stairs with Sweet Loccino following.
Petermint, Scoop, and Snooper we're all strapped down to torture tables. Toxic pulled out a syringe and injected it into a vain in Petermint's arm. The boy winced and let out a squeak, and in a matter of seconds he was knocked out. Sweet Loccino then pulled out three viles of neon yellow liquid that matched Toxic's eyes and hair.
"So that's the stuff you used on me." Toxic said,
"Uh-hum, this stuff is what made you who you are. It corrupted and changed your code. Unfortulently though, this won't be as effective on them their codes have matured and we'd need more power to make total corruption possible. And….one more thing Toxic, because of the potion I used on you. You can't regenerate, so be careful." Sweet Loccino said actually having a look of concern of her face. Toxic nodded,
"Of course, mother." She said with a giggle. Sweet Loccino chuckled as she inserted the viles into a secret compartment on Petermint's, Snooper's, and Scoop's collars. The liquid in the viles drained into the collar and inserted into the three children's bodies. And in a moment the three began to squirm in their sleep their codes glitching with a yellow light. Petermint actually began to cry in his sedative-induced-slumber, Scoop began to screen, while Snooper gritted her teeth.
"The potion should finish it's…..adjustments in an hour. Now, come on Toxic time to show you my little surprise. Crunch, you check up on Deviled Dish in his flower transformation and make sure that clone of Annaween knows exactly what to do. Deviled Dish won't be happy if all the mistakes aren't caught." Sweet Loccino said,
"You don't have to tell me twice, Loccino." Crunch said. She then watched as Toxic and Sweet Loccino left, once they we're gone Crunch sighed putting a claw over her eyes.

Meanwhile Dr. Lolli and Pucker Bittcid we're bounded and gagged to a torture table. The two eye's slowly opened as they heard a door open.
"Oh my mod! You didn't!" A voice was heard,
"I did, now you get to follow in mommies foot-steps!" Another voice rang. Pucker and Dr. Lolli's eye's sprang open as they could now see Toxic and Sweet Loccino,
"This is so cool! What should I do first?" Toxic said smiling excitedly.
"Anything you want, sense they can regenerate you can do this for all of eternity." Sweet Loccino said, "In fact, you can do the same with Cinnamon and maybe even Kit they'll be grief-stricken with Mocho and Fudge dead so I'll be even more fun." At this point Pucker and Dr. Lolli we're struggling against their binds as Toxic smile evilly. Sweet Loccino simply sat in a chair nearby as she let Toxic take the floor. The giddy school girl pulled the gags out of Toxic's and Dr. Lolli's mouths.
"Toxic, what's going on? Why are you with that murderer!? Did she hurt you!?" Pucker said at lightning fast speeds,
"I'm gonna kill you." Toxic said in a inappropriately nonchalant tone. Pucker's and Dr. Lolli eye's went wide,
"To-Toxic, honey, yo-you don't understand what your doing! She corrupted you!" Dr. Lolli said. Toxic's eye's widened anger flashed in her eyes and without thinking she took a butcher knife and brought it down on her ex-fathers head. Dr. Lolli didn't even have time to scream as the blade cracked his skull and pieces of blood and brain splattered against Pucker and Toxic. Pucker screamed bloody murder as her daughter pulled the knife out. And in that split second Dr. Lolli's body began to fade and in a flash he was back again completely unharmed and knocked out.
Pucker was shocked and horrified at what her daughter had just done (even if her husband had regenerated). Even Sweet Loccino was stunned by what Toxic had did, but she didn't move from her spot.
"I hate it when you adults say us kids don't understand things! What? Do you think we're dumb!? That we don't know what's going on in the world!? Well my REAL mother wouldn't be so ageist!" Toxic said, Pucker was terrified as she saw her furious daughter holding the bloody butcher knife.
"I-I didn't mean any offense, i-it's just that kids tend to be impulsive and not think things through. I-I just wa-want you to think things through. A-And what do you mean by real mother?" Pucker stammered, Toxic huffed still a bit miffed.
"What I meant was that Sweet Loccino is my real mentor slash mother. I wouldn't be me without here! You we're just a carrier." Toxic said,
"What!?" Pucker said tears streaming from her eye's. "Bu-But, Toxic, I-I am your mother! She's lying!" Toxic snarled and slammed the sharp side of the knife into Pucker's belly. The nurse screamed as the wound began to bleed freely. Toxic then took the knife again and began to repeatedly stab Pucker.
"Toxic! Stop! This isn't you!" Pucker managed to scream out,
"YES IT IS!" Toxic screamed causing Sweet Loccino to jump. And in one swift motion Toxic slammed the knife into her ex-mother's chest and Pucker went limp as her heart was crushed. The girl took a deep breathes as she took out the knife and watched her mom regenerate. Toxic them felt a pressure on her shoulder and looked to see Sweet Loccino. They locked eye's and Toxic began to cry, Sweet Loccino patted the girl on the back before picking her up bridal style.
"Maybe we started too soon." Sweet Loccino said,
"No! I wanna do it!" Toxic said.
"Wanting to do it, and being ready to do it are completely different things. Now stop those tears, let's head to bed." Sweet Loccino said, and Toxic reluctantly nodded.
"Hey mommy?" Toxic said as her and Sweet Loccino left the torture chamber,
"Yes?" Sweet Loccino said.
"Can we actually not torture or kill Mocho and Sweet-Tooth? I think with some rearranging they could become part of the family." Toxic said,
"You don't hate them?" Sweet Loccino asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Eh, I tolerate them." Toxic replied, hugging the butcher knife to her chest.
