Hello all, the fabulous daphrose has returned with Chapter 9 of Death of a Team! What's this? It's from Chase's POV? Does that mean something? I guess you'll have to read it and find out!

Out of all the chapters in this story, this one was my favorite to write. I love these kinds of chapters (you'll see what I mean when you read it), but the opportunities to write one present themselves very rarely. This chapter is also one of the big reasons I rated this T. Just to warn you!

Okay, here's the deal: the next chapter is really short, and I feel kind of bad about only giving you guys one short chapter for the whole day. So here's how this will go: if I get up to 45 reviews on this story by tomorrow morning, then I will put up Chapter 10 in the morning and Chapter 11 in the afternoon. You've got about 16 hours to get the reviews to 45. That's only 8 reviews away. If we don't reach it, I'll update with Chapter 10 tomorrow afternoon and Chapter 11 on Wednesday like I originally planned. But I know you can do it!

Here's Chapter 9. I still don't own Lab Rats. I never will either.

* * * Chase's POV * * *

"Chase!"

"Chase, over here!"

"Help me! Chase! Help me!"

The voices were all around me. They were driving me crazy. Those voices though; I knew those voices. They were people I cared about. People I loved. They were being torn away. I was tearing them away.

I glanced up. I was in my capsule back in the lab. I opened it and looked around. Adam and Bree were standing in their capsules. I walked over and began to tap on Bree's capsule. "Wake up!" I shouted. "We're going to be late for school!" But she didn't wake up. They weren't waking up. They would never wake up.

Adam was in front of me in his mission suit. We were standing in a secret facility. "I turned it off, Chase," he was saying. "Aren't you proud? She's gone, but you're still proud, right?"

"What?" I said. "Who's gone?" Then instead of Adam, Bree was standing in front of me.

"We did what you asked," she said. "It hurt, but we did it. You're okay. You're alright. They're gone, but you're okay."

"Okay, seriously, what's going on?" I yelled. A black mist enveloped me. Everything got blurry. Then it all cleared. I was standing in the living room of the Davenport household.

"Chase!" Leo cried as he entered the room. "What are you doing here?"

"Why wouldn't I be here?" I asked, desperately confused.

"You left," he replied simply. "You gave up. You're not part of a team. You gave them all up for yourself."

"But I couldn't, I wouldn't!" I insisted.

Leo voice grew significantly deeper as he answered, "You did."

I was back in the lab. Adam and Bree were trying to fight some masked man. He reached out and scratched my sister. She screamed, blood smearing her face. I grew furious. Someone would dare to hurt my sister? I stepped in front of Bree to protect her, but when she saw me she screamed louder. Adam saw me too and started to yell with her.

"Guys, it's just me!" I tried to reassure them. I walked toward them and they backed up into the corner. "Just me!"

"Me too!" the hooded person said. His voice sounded familiar. He whipped off his hood and . . . it was me. I staggered back, horrified. An evil laugh filled the air. It was my evil laugh. Bree was curled in the corner, clutching her ears. Adam was hovering over her, tears streaming down his face. But Adam didn't cry. He couldn't, certainly not because of what I was doing. I needed to stop this!

"It will stop!" a dark voice said. The voice was so deep and evil it sounded as if darkness itself was speaking to me. "It will all stop . . . forever!"

I tried to scream, but no sound escaped my throat. Everything was growing dimmer. It was all fading away. My very existence was fading. "You're mine!" said a threatening voice.

"You hurt us!"

"You let us down!"

"You're not our brother!"

"You're not our leader!"

"You failed!"

Those same voices were back. There were in pain. But I couldn't save them. They couldn't save me. Nothing could save me. It was over. Maybe it was time to stop fighting. I needed to give up. I was growing so weak.

"Give in!" a voice was saying. "You're done for. Just rest. No need to struggle." The darkness wrapped in. Closer . . . closer . . . it was covering everything. I closed my eyes as it wrapped around me. Darkness took over and everything disappeared.

Mwahaha! I am so mean to you all. Hey, you. Yeah, you reading this. Have a keyboard? Know how to type? Then review! Let me know what you think. What was your favorite part of this chapter? Or did you absolutely hate all of it? Do you want to kill me now? Remember, if we get to 45 reviews, Chapter 10 goes up sooner. I'll see you all tomorrow. *runs from angry mob of Chase fans*
