Circle Try to be Bad Selected

[Nicky's thoughts]

Why am I even listening to Felix at all? He's too chicken to do anything remotely helpful. If I ran with him, I'd end up hating myself. I have to stay here, and help Rebecca. She may be cruel, but at least with her, I can get stronger. And maybe when I'm stronger, I can be with father again.

The young girl ran towards Rebecca, getting ready to attack. As Nicky got close, Rebecca shot a burst of air towards Mike's face. Mike formed thick, bone structures on his arms, blocking any effect of Rebecca's powers. Then he ran towards her, getting ready to punch her face. As he got close though, Nicky stopped running, and focused on Mike's legs. Putting in those same horrible thoughts back in her head, she broke Michael's legs. As the crunching could be heard, Mike fell over, letting out a pained groan. Rebecca seized this opportunity to knee his face as it fell, making Mike roll over on the ground.

"Well, about time. Thanks for the save Ni…" Rebecca said before she saw Nicky's flesh and blood form.

"I think a word like that applies to Craig before it does me." Nicky told her.

"How… your skin?"

"What? Have you never seen a naked skeleton before?" Nicky said to Rebecca before looking at her hand. She was a bit freaked out, noticing she now has her skin back. Then she said, "So that's why I'm so cold…"

Rick was thrown towards Nicky's direction, cutting her conversation short. Rebecca grabbed Nicky from underneath her armpit, and swung her out of the way. As Rick landed, he quickly tried to get back up. The man with the accent ran over to him, and knocked him out before he could do so. After that, the man in the hoody looked towards Nicky and Rebecca.

"You sure you want this instead of a peaceful talk? Because I'm done fighting people for no reason." he told them.

"I'm sure we all do, ASSHOLE!" Craig said from the top of a large tree branch.

He threw a few wires at the man's heavy arm to hold it steady. As Craig got a grip of him, Rebecca got ready to attack him. She ran towards the man, but Michael got back up and charged into her back. The man in the hoody kept pulling on the wires, forcing Craig to push hard against the tree branch he was on.

"Get off of me!" Rebecca told Michael as she twisted her body.

Getting out of his grip, Rebecca then kicked Michael in the throat. It got him out of the way for the moment. She ran back towards the man in the hoody. Before she could make it, the wires holding him all broke, and Craig ended up forcing himself backwards. With his recent head injuries, Craig felt drained, and was helpless as he fell to the ground. Nicky looked towards his direction, right before he fell onto broken substation equipment. Nicky started breathing heavy, not being able to process what she just witnessed.

"NOOOOO!" Alvin yelled before Sebastian punched him and threw him off to the side.

"What no? The hell were you screaming…?" Sebastian said before turning around.

He ran straight towards Craig, but was punched in the head by the man in a hoodie. The man started beating him, making sure Sebastian was out of commission. While both Sebastian's beating and Rebecca's fight were happening, Nicky ran over to Craig. She pushed over some metal parts that weren't super heavy, which revealed what she feared. There was a piece of metal sticking through him. Looking at it made her sick, causing her to throw up. Craig noticed her, and tried his best to say something.

"Hey,... Nicky." Craig said, as blood started to come out of his mouth.

"Huh?" Nicky muttered.

"I want… you to… [*cough] kick… Mike's… ass for me. Will… ya..?" Craig told her before dropping dropping his head to the side, and stopping his breath.

Nicky heard him, and wanted to do his dying wish. Then she thought to herself about not listening to him, like she did before when saving a man. Nicky grabbed a hold of Craig's hand, and focused on her hand. The grey aura surrounded her again, putting energy into Craig's hand. Wires started to wrap around Nicky's hand to keep it attached to Craig's. From his hand, wires also started to wrap around his arm. They then went around his body, wrapping his other arm, his legs, his torso, and lastly his head. Nicky's eyes started glowing bright, causing a burst of energy to flow straight into Craig's body, making him twitch. Noticing what she was doing, the man in the hoodie went up to Nicky, and ripped her out of Craig's wired grip.

"Ow. Let go of me." Nicky told him.

"Kid, you can't do this." The man told Nicky.

"Can't do what?"

"Hang around people who could possibly turn on you the moment it's convenient."

With the man lecturing Nicky, Sebastian darted towards him with a pissed off look on his bruised face.

"Puto, she doesn't belong to you. Get yo hands off her." he said to the man.

Sebastian then pulled out knotted ropes from both of his hands, and threw them at the man with Nicky. The man wrapped his arm around Nicky, and jumped to the side to get them out of the way of the ropes. He rolled over on his back before tossing Nicky a few feet over. After that, the rope followed the man in the hoodie, and tightened around his legs. With his grip on him, Sebastian swung the man against a tree. Following that, he swung him against another tree, right before throwing towards Alvin's direction.

"That's what you get." Sebastian said.

He walked up to Nicky, who was lying on her back. Sebastian put out his hand to help her up, to which she said, "Does everybody want to grab me today?".

"Be glad you weren't born in my hometown. They do more than just grab."

She grabbed his hand, allowing him to help the young conduit back up. They both looked towards Rebecca and Michael, who were still fighting each other. Rebecca appeared to be weakened, due to Michael's bone armor giving him the upper hand.

"Well, it looks like we gotta help her out. I'm a little exhausted from throwing that one puto around, but I'm still game. What about you?" Sebastian asked Nicky.

"I'm up for it." Nicky responded.

The two conduits gave each other a head nod, and ran towards the fight. Rebecca fired a burst of air towards Mike's face again, but he crossed his arms over his head, blocking the blast. He then charged into her, knocking her against a tree. He walked up to her, getting ready to knock her out, but was stopped when Nicky jumped onto his back.

"What the…? Nicky! Get off of me!" Michael yelled at her.

Michael moved all over the place, jumping up and down, swinging side to side. Nothing could get the girl off of him. After a few seconds though, her grip did loosen up, so she grabbed his head as a last resort. After grabbing his head, she got dizzy, and felt a strong headache. Random images flowed into her brain, some including massive blue explosions.

"Hold still, will ya." Sebastian told Michael.

Sebastian threw out some rope to grab a hold of Michael by the arms. Following that, Rebecca got back up and forced her palm against Mike's face, letting out a small burst of air in the process. Michael was now very weak, allowing for Sebastian to force him towards the ground. After doing so, Nicky, with hands still hanging on his head, received a strange vision.

See saw a tall man, who appeared to be walking towards her. The man pulled his belt from around his waist, and whipped it against a carpet floor.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…" she heard a little boy's voice say.

"You're not sorry until I say you are." the man said in response.

The man then whipped the metal part of his belt across what Nicky thought was her chest. Then she realized she was seeing what a little boy saw. What Michael saw.

"Please, stop…" the little boy cried.

"Shut up and take it like a god damn man."

Nicky felt tears coming, and forced herself to let go.

"Poor… poor man." Nicky whispered to herself.

"Alright. I say we take this one back with us. He feels like he could be useful if we keep him around." Rebecca said.

"You sure? I feel like he won't be a big fan of us." Sebastian told Rebecca.

"Don't tell me how to run this group. I am in charge here."

"Can you at least tell this guy to help out every once in awhile?" Sebastian said as he threw out rope.

The rope he threw went around a tree, and grabbed a hold of someone. Sebastian started dragging out the individual, revealing the person to be Felix. As he brought him out, Sebastian had a rather irritated look on his face.

"Where the hell were you, lazy?" Sebastian asked Felix.

"I… I… didn't know if I could help…" Felix muttered.

"You could have at helped out a little. Nicky is real young, but at least she tried something. Thanks to her, we got this man on the ground." Rebecca said to Felix.

"What are you going to do with me?" Felix asked.

"I think we should kill you." Rick said as he got close to the group.

"Well about time you woke back up." Rebecca said to Rick. "But why do you say kill him?"

"He been nothing but trouble, and never helps out for anything." Rick told Rebecca.

"Hey, woah. That harsh. It's not like he killed one of us. If anything, why don't we exile him?" Sebastian suggested to the group.

"Because we can't risk that. He'll either end up dead, or rat us out. We have to either kill him, or keep him with us." Rebecca said.

"Keep him?! Are you serious?" Rick asked Rebecca.

"Hey, screw you! Suggesting we kill him." Sebastian told Rick.

"Watch it before I kill you, too." Rick said back.

"Hey, what you think?" Sebastian asked Nicky.

"What?" Nicky asked in response.

"You think we should kill or keep Felix?" Sebastian asked.

"Oh, trying to use the little girl?" Rick said with sarcasm.

"Shut up white boy, I'm sixteen. If anyone's the creepy guy, it's your smelly ass." Sebastian told Rick.

As the two argued, Nicky thought to herself: What should they do with Felix?

[Nicky's thoughts]

Well, this is great. After ignoring Felix, now I end up with helping in deciding what happens to him. Why is it always down to me? Maybe we could be nice, and I could help him be stronger so he can help. Fog could provide good camouflage. Then again, he might be better off put out of his misery. Or… I convince everyone to allow me to share the purple rock with him.

Square: Be Greedy

Have Felix live, but only if he gives you powers.

Triangle: Be Friendly

Allow Felix to live, and keep him close to the group.

Circle: Be Deadly

Kill off Felix, and show the rest of the group that you don't tolerate weakness.
