Chapter 1

Ok this idea just popped into my head and I immediately thought I HAVE to write story this right now. Also this is my first fanfic so I just ask that you take it easy on me when you give reviews to this story. Gotta say I really do love this show, especially the Ash and Little Cato moments in it.

Also I don't own Final Space in anyway that honor goes to Olan Rogers. That's basically all i have to say, so let's get to the story

"Your vessel is stronger then this one. I'll take you instead". Invictus said to Little catos he tackled him. Avocato turned to look at the scene horrified to see Invictus energy transferring from his Best friend to his son. "NO! Don't give in son you have to fight it!" Little did he know that it was all in vain as the young cat boy was completely taken over.

Little Cato felt agony surging through his body, all he wished was that he was dead, anything to end it, this was far too much pain to cope with. Suddenly a Voice began whispering in his head, "You'll eventually be all alone, everyone will leave you at some point just as your father has always done."

His eyes suddenly open to look at his father who's shocked to see the same purple that was in Gary's eyes. Suddenly traces of red mist shot out of his eyes and turned his head towards Gary.

Suddenly Little Cato heard a voice whispering in his head,"He doesn't care about he's just holding you back, kill him. He will leave you. Just as everyone else has or will." Little cato's face suddenly gained an angered expression on it, as he picked up his laser gun. "Little Cato?" Gary asked as he nervously began to back away.

"ALL YOU'VE EVER DONE IS HELD ME BACK!" A laser immediately shot Gary right through the stomach.

As Gary recoiled in pain and held his wound as blood seeped out, Avocato lept into Action pulling the gun down begging "Stop you've got to fight this, don't give in!"

"HE'S ALREADY TURNED YOU!" Little Cato shouted as he took his gun back and kicked his father back sending Avocato tumbling into the dirt.

Desperate to stop this, Gary choked out through the pain, "Little Cato whatever that thing it's poisoning your mind, we're-!" He never got the chance to finish as he was shot by his little Spidercat once more.

"NO WE'RE NOT!"

Avocato quickly got up and held the unconscious Gary's head, while begging his son to stop. "YOU CHOOSE HIM OVER YOUR SON?!"

"Gary's already turned him, KILL HIM TOO. Kill him before he can leave you again." Little Cato quickly turned his gun on his father, as Avocato reluctantly drew his own. "Please son don't make me do this!"

"NO PARENT OF MINE COULD BE SO WEAK! ALL YOU"VE EVER DONE IS LEAVE ME!" He began to draw closer and closer with each step, and having no other option left Avocato pulled his trigger. Avocato felt his heart sinking as he saw his son staggering from the gunshot. He fell to his knees in pain and wiped the blood on his hand away as he sneered, "I HATE YOU!"

Black ooze seeped from under Little Cato and wrapped around him and began to drag him into it. Before disappearing he snarled viciously at his father, "I'LL FIND YOU AND I'LL KILL YOU!" , was the last thing Avocato heard from his son before he disappeared. He sat there for a moment, just staring at where his son once stood and was overcome with shame that he had fired at his own child before he quickly realized Gary needed serious medical attention.

He activated his jet boots and quickly flew up the space waterfall back to the crimson light carrying Gary tears flowing down his face, only one thought floating through his mind.

"I've him"

" I Lost my son. AGAIN."

XXXXXXX

After returning to the Crimson Light and taking Gary to the medical bay to be healed, he immediately elaborated to the rest of the crew. Including a Future version of Quinn? Okay apparently that's a thing that's happening. His face had held a grim expression throughout the entire telling of the story barely being able to fight back his tears while explaining he shot, maybe even potentially killed his son. Their faces all held a grim expression as they were informed that they had lost their crew member and more importantly their friend.

The Pink haired girl, her name was Ash right, her eyes suddenly filled with tears as she fled the cockpit. Fox stood up with the intent to follow his adoptive sister, before Nightfall put a hand on his shoulder saying , "I'll talk to her." and followed her out the room in an attempt to comfort her.

Ash ran to the room she shared with Nightfall and immediately began weeping into her hands. Nightfall entered the room uttering "knock knock" before she sits beside her young friend trying to console her.

Nightfall begins speaking saying, "Ash I know you don't need me mothering you ,but remember I'm right he-"" Nightfall didn't get to finish before Ash crashed against sobbing into her chest and wrapping her arms around her so tightly she could barely breathe. Who knew she had this kind of strength.

She was very shocked, as she hadn't expected Ash to give any physical contact. Nightfall knew that Ash held feelings for Little Cato; she had made that very clear, but she didn't know that they were quite this strong. She rubbed her back comfortingly as she was wracked with sobs.

"A-are we ever going to get him b-back?" Ash's muffled voice let out. Her future friend rubbed her back soothingly as she did her best to comfort her.

"Am-Am I cursed Nightfall?" she continued sadly, " I lost my sister to an evil demon, and know we've lost Little Cato too is that what happens to everyone around me?" Ash was begging for assurance from Nightfall who tried her best to give her comfort.

"You're not cursed Ash and remember you're not in this alone you have us. We're a team together and we'll find a way to save Little Cato, and get him back to normal. This made us fall down, but we'll get back up." Nightfall comforted her young friend. Eventually Ash fell asleep leaning against Nightfall, and she was quickly tucked in her bed by said person as she left the room, with a sorrowful expression on her face.

Meanwhile

Avocado sat alone in the med way watching over Gary be healed in the healing in the healing pod. He only has one thought on his mind, "I shot my own son, I shot him". That replayed in his mind over and over again. 'Why does this keep happening? Why can't I ever have my son back?'

Okay that was officially my first ever fanfic, and I hope that I managed to put out a good story, and you all liked it. I should also have the next chapter up within the next week, depending on how well this story is recieved, please give me your honest thoughts and on this story and if it was any good or not.
