When we finally arrive to his house, it look quite nice. It was a small house, orange walls, red roof and door. It did have a small circular window and it looked simply beautiful. We enter inside the place, it had egg shell white wall living room and wooden floors. Then he begins his tour of the interior of his house and takes me upstairs to one of the full bathrooms; which was made of marble and granite; shower, toilet and sink, the kitchen had a small sink and peach color paint. He has a workout gym and a gravity chamber to help him. Then he takes me to his bedroom and it had a giant king size bed with ocean blue blankets and the wall the same color. Then he shows me one of the guest bedrooms; which was white and simple. It also had a bed same size as his bed and I swear if there were bugs in this place. Then I must've eaten a big portion of them, because my mouth was open throughout the entire thing.

He asks, "Youga either like tour and house or youga hungry and eating bugs?"

I voice my opinion, "Ih. I did like the tour and this house. It's simply...I don't know how to describe it."

I add,"Just...Eegalagoo! Wow, gaba cool place youga have hagata."

He smirks at me and I can't help but feel awe by his house. His house was smaller than my own and it has so many more better and nicer things inside. He sits down, giving me a chance to walk on my feet again and I jump off him. I was so amazed by this entire thing. He grabs my hand and we go to the living room, I'm glad he did because I would have just stand there like an idiot for the rest of the time. We both sit down of the couch and I can't help but reman in awe by him.

He asks, "So gaba youga do?"

I say, "Can we go on a walk again?"

He answers, "Ih, but why?"

I reply, "To clear my mind some more."

We go out and head to the beach, where we walk the sandy shore. I look at him then back to the ocean, I smile and then stand up. I grab his wrist, pulling him up and run to the water.

He asks, "Gaba?"

I say with a smile, "It's fun to play in the ocean."

Once we're in the ocean, I push him into the water and run the opposite direction. I turn and see he stands up with a vengeful grin, then he sinks back into the water slowly. I start to run faster, not knowing if he was going to hurt me because I didn't told him that it was a game and now I wish I had. Soon I feel hands grabbing on my feet and I knew I was caught, I feel my feet being pull back. I fall forward and close my mouth, once I'm in the shallow water I see Crimson with a big smile.

He says, "Meega catch youga. Youga turn."

Well, I guess he did know it was a game. That made me feel better.

I reply, "Okay."

He releases me and he swims, I go after him into the deeper parts. I realize that, I'm sinking again and I was too far from the sand bar to help me climb up. I couldn't hold my breath anymore, I open my mouth as I descend into the ocean and when I thought it was all over. I feel someone under me, I look down and I see Crimson as he swims super fast to help me get some air. Once we were out, I was coughing a little and he had a worry look on his face.

"Youga okie taka?"

"Ih, meega fine. Forgot that I can't swim."

We laugh a little.

"Takka Crimson, I know I can really trust you whenever I need help."

"Meega try best to help ohana."

"Can we go back to the house?"

"Ih, we go house."

At the house...

He asks, "Gaba now?"

I think about what next to do and then request, "Can I use your gravity chamber?"

He was shocked by request and asks, "Gaba? Why?"

I answer, "I need to get stronger. I want to be stronger to protect my loved ones because last time I faced Mayhem, I couldn't hurt him or even do anything and my friends were almost transformed into monsters. Not to mention I almost died from him and-"

He interrupts with a question, "Gaba? Youga almost detaka?"

I say flatly, "Ih."

I continue clenching my fists, "And he is made from my, Stitch's and Leroy's DNA. He evens knows me better than I know myself. He has many powers like he disguised himself as me and was able to get so much information about me back in my world. That's why I need to be stronger. I need to be so that way I can have an advantage to him, even if it is a small advantage. It's better than nothing. He is my sworn enemy and he has to pay everything he ever did...with his life."

He grabs my shoulder and looks me straight in the eye.

He says, "Being strong, naga mean youga best. Sometimes youga need help. Youga naga face things alone. Meega will help youga, youga ohana. Meega naga let youga go alone. We do things better together."

I was shock to hear what he was saying, because Crimson was always saying how he's the best and whatnot. How he never needed anyone, but himself and everything was inferior. That fight must've change his tune. Also the talks with Sapphire helped out too.

I bit my lip into a smirk. I was thinking about how nice this day has been. To think if I had walked away from him after my talk with Jumba, I would still be hating his guts and that would have been awful…I would have miss this night with Crimson. He isn't so bad. He is nice enough…a little too over protective, but he can be very supportive and a good listener. I could see why Sapphire enjoyed his company so much when he was here during my absence.

He asks, "Hello? Marcus?"

I reply, "Huh? Gaba?"

He responds, "Youga was just staring at meega with big smirk."

I say, "I was thinking about today so far and how...if I walked away from you. I would have never seen this side of you and how close a bond we made."

He blushes a little and say, "Youga mean that."

I admit, "Yes, I do. Thanks, you're really the brother I never had but always wanted."

He smirks and replies, "Youga too."

He adds, "When youga feel lonely or sad or anything and naga tell someone in youga world. Come hagata because this isa youga trang nang too. This isa youga home too."

I look to him and nod.

He says, "If youga want, youga use room."

I say happily, "Really? You mean it."

He nods his head and I jump up to him, hugging him.

I say, "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

I run out and straight into the gravity room, looking at it. I was trying to see how I could use it, but I was in a stump. I decide to go back and ask Crimson for help. I turn around and he was there, I jump a little from his sudden appearance.

He asks, "Youga problems?"

I say, "Uh... Ih."

He replies, "Let meega handle controls, youga go in."

I comment, "Takka."

I go in and he enters a good amount of force, I struggle a little at first. Then in a few seconds I was getting the hang of it.

After many minutes of pratice my fighting skills, I signal him to end it and he does. I was walking when I heard this sound and grab my head, my heart was pounding really fast. I had to grab it with my other, I try to walk out and get help. I fall onto the ground and I see bits and pieces of things. I see glimspes of Sapphire and me. Sapphire in tears and covering her cheek. Someone kissing her, licking her bleeding wounds. Sapphire being unconscious. Blood running down someone's wrist.

I try to stand up, but I see more things.

I see Sapphire looking scared. Sapphire hugging me. Us laughing and having fun. Sapphire fighting someone. Sapphire rolling down a hill. Someone being flip sideways.

I end up flipping sideways as well and falling onto the floor, I close my eyes. When I open them up, I don't even know why I was on the floor. I look around and see Crimson there with a worried expression on his face.

I ask rubbing my head, " Ogata! Gaba happen?"

He replies, "Meega found youga on floor. Youga okie taka?"

I comment, "Yeah, meega okie taka. I guess I overdid it a little."

I laugh lightly and he helps me up, he carries me out of the room. He places me onto the couch, leaves and then comes back with a cup of water and a plate of food.

I sit up and eat some of it and took some sips of the water.

I look up to him and say, "Youga worry too much."

He laughs and replies, "Ih."

I walk into the kitchen and I turn because I felt like I wasn't alone.

My eyes see Mayhem right in front of me with that smug face looking at me.

I was going to call Crimson, but Mayhem smirks. He says, "Don't even bother calling him. I made sure that the two of us would be isolated from him. Well, well brother. You the hero, what a waste of potential. Then again, I've come to the right time. You've seem to be in quite a pickle. Oh, this is too perfect."

I growl, "You."

He asks, "What?"

I ask, "How did you get here?"

He answers, "My new teleportation watch. I was inspired by your traveling, that I decide to make one and give you a personal call."

I roll my eyes and he adds, "Oh little ol' me. You don't want to see. Not at all. I thought you would miss me after our call."

I comment, "I would rather you in cell, another world, dimension or in complete solitude."

He asks, "Oooh. I think someone is getting a little confused here?"

I retort, "What do you mean?"

He says, "I think you're missing the bigger picture here."

He adds, "Why would I come here? Alone to see only you?"

I say, "To save me the trouble of kicking your butt because believe me that is long overdue."

He responds, "No. I can feel something has change in your demeanor."

He adds, "I see you're being...tempted."

I ask, "Tempted? What do you mean by tempted?"

He speaks as he steps forward to me, "Tempted to evil."

I retort and step forward to him, "Never. I'll fight it and you at the same time."

He comments and step closer to me, "Not for long."

I reply I step closer making our faces an inch apart, "I will I'll fight this and when I break this, I'll break you."

He responds as he goes around me, "Your will is already diminishing... You can feel yourself...changing."

I say, "No, I don't. I'm in complete control."

He stops in front of me and retorts, "I hate to burst your bubble, but you're changing because of your DNA. There's something different about it and you."

I protest, "Nothing is wrong with me."

He counters as he steps back, "There is and you're hiding it very poorly. It's messing with your brain."

He adds, "Soon you won't be able to tell what's real, from what's not and you won't be able to tell which side you're on."

I ask confused by all this, "What are you talking about you freak? Now what do you want with me? Huh."

He answers, "I want you to come with me and fight for my ideal, as we bring a new era on this pitiful world. Making it new for...experimental hybrids."

I say, "You must be screwy if you think I would ever agree with you on that. You're out of your mind, I'll never help you with your crazy ideal."

He retorts, "Oh, but you will and soon. Think about it brother with our combine strengths, we can control the world. We'll crush anyone who dare defy us because no one will stand a chance against our dynamic power. Why fight it, join me. Join us on the side of evil."

I snap at him, "Well, you can forget it because I'll never join you."

He says, "I don't think you've a choice if you continue on this path you've chosen of hiding your secret. Like I said before, your DNA is changing. It's going erratic, it's...mutating. It'll only be a matter of time, before you completely go back to the original programming and become evil. I doubt you can fight yourself for long."

I retort, "Oh, yeah! Watch me! I won't, I'll fight it and beat it. Then I'll beat you senseless until you can't feel a thing but pain throughout your body, especially your butt. And Jumba will make those capsules for me and they will work."

He responds, "First, off I don't go that way dear brother. Second, I highly doubt that. Like I said, not for long. Your will and spirit is no match for your experimental DNA. Can't you feel it, the changes as they happen. Tell me, can't you."

I remain quiet and he walks closer to me, so we're facing one another again.

He continues, "I thought as much. It would be easier and less painful if you gave into that primal self. Don't fight it, embrace it. Join me and I can help you. Join me and I can show you things you never know you can do or even dream about. Join me and I can promise the pain will stop, all will stop. If you just join me."

I holler, "No!"

I punch him and I see his on the other side of my fist.

I ask, "How?"

He says, "Nah, ah, ah. I knew you pull something like this, remember I know your every move before you can make it."

He elbows my stomach, then throws me onto the floor and stands over me.

He says, "You can't beat me and never will. Face it, you're the same little boy. Weak and defenseless, little boy who is always putting a strong front when in actuality you're filled with, envy, rage, sadness, hopelessness. You're thinking that you're a prince and waiting to sweep Sapphire off her feet and into your arms."

He adds, "Grow up! This isn't some imaginary, fantasy world where the hero gets the girl. Out of all the things I hate you, that's the part I despise the most."

I retort, "Shut up!"

I flip him over using my legs and he crashes onto the floor. I axe kick him, he ducks down and sweep kicks me. I fall onto the ground again and he put his foot on my chest, pinning me. He punches me in the face...Once...twice...thrice.

He says, "See. You're getting sloppy. I mean, you barely land a scratch on me."

I speak to him, "I...don't...think...so."

I grab his foot and push him off me, making him land on the floor. I stand and so does he.

I add, "You...forgot...about...my...stubbornness."

He says, "That's your character flaw. You're too narrow-minded."

I respond, "I'm not, I just can tell the difference between right and wrong."

He remarks, "For now anyway."

I retort, "Shut yo trap!"

I back fist him, but he counters with the same move then sidekicks me into the gut. He axe kicks me into the floor and I fall face first, when I got up I didn't see him anywhere. I look around and the damage done was minor, but Mayhem was long gone. I trudge to the living room, where Crimson was and he was worried about my wounds.

He turns to me and asks, "Gaba happen?"

I lie, "I...ah...I...ah...I fell down a flight of stairs."

He gets off the couch and helps me to the couch, where he licks my wounds.

I ask him, "Do I look bad or badly?"

He answers, "Ih, misa badly."

We both laugh, then he goes back to licking my wounds and I can't help but wince at the pain. We both fall asleep on each other from being so drain because of all the events.
