Summary: Vile interrogates the X-Men adults and HOMe seeks help and gets it from a rather unique source.

Chapter 13
Three days
"Now Professor, I want you to answer honestly." Vile spun the cocoon that Professor Charles Xavier hung from. "Why is it I am connected to the abomination?"
Xavier looked at him very confused, but caught on after a few seconds. "I honestly don't know. Perhaps you share a brain wave or two that also allows your independence."
Vile laughed at the Professor. "No, it's something deeper…" He tapped his own head. "Something locked in here, I know it. NOW SHOW IT TO ME!" He grabbed the Professor's head tightly as if to pop it like a small cherry.
"I can't do that." Vile glared at him, "I'm sorry, but memory is a tricky thing. Think of it as a secured box wrapped with several dozen layers of silk, each layer taking weeks or possibly months to successfully unravel."
"Then cut trough those layers!" He squeezed harder causing the Professor to scream in pain.
"I can't it'll kill you!" Vile let go with a scoff, "And even I can't kill such a foul thing as you." The Professor narrowed his eyes in disgust and spat some blood on the ground.
"You'd better hope those cuts don't get infected around here. You might loose some face then." Vile chuckled as he left the Professor to swing in the cocoon and went to the next room where the feral like Logan hung secured by many tethers of bindings.
"You the me don't you?" He asked circling Logan, letting his tail fall behind and wrap around him.
"You're scum, where's my daughter?" He shouted.
"Safe, with the other children." Vile smiled sadistically.
"You better pray I don't get loose…"
"Try anything and you'll find my warriors will have no problem rending those children to shreds. Do we understand?" Vile then brought his tail from the coiled wrap around on Logan, the sharp edge of the spear head slicing into his skin causing him to wince. "Good."
He left the cursing and screaming Logan with a smile as he went to check on the blue furred Hank.
"Hank is it? You like hanging around?" Vile laughed as he spun the upside down Hank in the cocoon.
"You are a foul man with no heart or soul. I hope our burn in hell for this!" Hank spat out.
"Oh come on. Don't be such a beast about this." Vile laughed as he made fun of Hank's appearance. He didn't respond.
"Fine, ignore me I think the female will be more fun anyway." Vile left as Hank started to protest.
He opened the small door to Ororo's cramped holding place. He only looked in, her fear of small place confining her even more than the actual room. He chuckled as he played with her by pretending to claw at her. He caught the look of one of his warriors, a disapproving look. In seconds the warrior's head was crushed in by his giant spear headed tail.
"I AM NOT TO BE QUESTIONED!" He screamed causing his warriors to flinch and Ororo to scream even more as he slammed the opening.
============
At the Institute HOMe was had set Tabby in her room and prepared her some food for when she woke up. He had by then resigned himself to his fate, but still was not willing to trust Vile completely. He knew the Professor had ways of contacting his friends and even enemies, but he had no clue as to how he could use them.
He solely crawled into his alcove as he noticed one of Rogue's old gloves. He took it in his hands, he was greeted with the warm feeling of their first peaceful meeting when Kitty had forced her to talk with him. The thought of not being with out his family saddened him. In his mind he cried for what seemed like hours, the painful knowledge that he could never be with them again took over as he slipped into a dreamless sleep.
HOMe awoke to the clanging of the hallway clock. He got down from his alcove to check on Tabby. When he saw she was still out but fine he turned back to go to his alcove, as he headed back however he felt the definite presence of someone else in the institute, someone familiar, yet different.
He crept down the stairs to see a strange glowing ball of energy. At first this sight disturbed him, but then he realized it was nothing more than a hologram. He crept closer to see it was a hologram of his new friends Stitch a friend he would never see again.
"Hiiii." The hologram said, the Holo-Stitch extending his clawed wave.,
-Stitch-Friend not real. Leave HOMe be.-
"Achi-baba, what's wrong?" Holo-Stitch asked.
-Family taken, HOMe's fault. He not watch.-
"Naga-takabah!" Holo-Stitch exclaimed "You Ohana stolen! You get them back, gaba ika tasoopa?"
-Taken by bad monster. HOMe has to die. Then they free.-
"Then you beat him!" Holo-Stitch said.
-HOMe can't he not want to kill again.-
"Who said kill? Not me." Holo-Stitch said shocked.
-How HOMe win then?-
"HOMe, achi-baba, you have to find that out." A crash heard. "Aka-choota, Nani mad!" A Hologram of Nani's leg cam on screen as Stitch ran off. He had been talking to Stitch, the real Stitch. He was confused as to how until Jumba came on screen.
"You like new long distance communication device little bug?" he asked laughing.
-HOMe like, HOMe must go now. Family needs HOMe.-
"Tell Kitty we'll be there soon we just gotta dehydrate these guys!" Lilo shouted over a racket in the back ground before HOMe turned it off.
-HOMe will tell Kitty-Queen for Lilo-Queen.- HOMe's red crests stopped glowing then as they started to peel from his body. He could feel another change over come him, he could only wonder why he kept changing as he felt his own exoskeleton burn and peel. He screamed out in agony, his deep and final link to the hive severing, freeing him forever from their grasp.
==========
Vile felt the burning, he felt the peeling and hew saw a new fear as he peered through his connection to HOMe. He could no longer feel the Hive in his mind, they had been stolen from him. He screamed in his own agony as he realized he was once again alone in the universe he was solitary once more and he would kill the abomination.
It all seemed logical to him, HOMe had lost his connection to the Hive, and due to their connection he also lost his connection. He could feel the only way to restore it: destroy the abomination, destroy that which had destroyed his connection. He ripped at a wall and screamed once more, he would be restored.
=============
AN: HOMe's physical evolution is still continuing, but it will end at the conclusion of this series. Now who can guess how Vile and HOMe are connected?
