Chapter Summary: Gold just wants to see his friends once more, if the world is to be destroyed then Gold just wants one more day with Red. Gold starts to struggle for control of his own body as Razun sets off to find Tobi. Meanwhile, Lyra and the others arrive at the hospital. With Doctor Richard wanting to do some experiments on Lyra, the other kids will do anything to stop him. Fire/Green, Lyra/Gold, Gold/Red and Tanya/Ricky in this Chapter.

Red closed his eyes. "Red…are you feeling alright?" Fire asked as he tilted his head. Red ignored Fire completely. "Red, there's no need to be so rude to Fire." Green said as he crossed his arms. "I want to go home; I need to check up on my sister Lyra. That jerk left her home alone." Red said in a low voice. Green frowned slightly. "There's no need for that." Green said. Red turned around and let out a huff. "Hey…! There's no need to pout!" Green said as he leaned over to get closer to Red.

They arrived at the hospital after a few hours. It was very confusing to Lyra. Why did this have to happen to them? Ash was sobbing softly while Gary just glared at everyone and anyone who tried to approach him. It was really hard to deal with. "…That bastard…" Steven hissed. There were many different people around the place, one of them stood out. It was a teen who looked like he was barely over the age of 16. "Hey…! I know that kid!" Gary whispered to the others. "He's Jimmy, Gold's older brother."
Lyra curled up into a ball before she started to cry. This wasn't fair at all. She just wanted to go home. "Hey… Don't cry little one." The teen named Jimmy said. "Go away…!" Lyra hissed. She didn't want to hear anything from Jimmy. "Hey. Hey. Don't be like that." Jimmy said softly. Lyra just let out another hiss before throwing her pillow at him.

Finally. They were almost home. Red was more than thrilled to be able to see his sister. Fire and Green followed closely behind while Razun just trailed behind, staying mainly out of sight. Once Red could see the house he knew something was wrong. "Someone else was here." Red said with a frown. "What do you mean Red?" Green asked confused. "Someone else was here. There was someone who doesn't belong that came here." Red said sternly. "How would you know that Red?" Fire asked as he tilted his head. "I can just feel it." Red answered.

HEY RAZUN YOU IDIOT! Gold, what are you trying to do? JUST LISTEN UP! YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT IF YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN KEEP ME HERE! Gold. You shouldn't be trying anything. And why is that? Is it because you're a fucking idiot who thinks that he's better than me? Gold you don't understand anything. I'll have you know that Saito sent me on a mission to save the Legendary Beasts from Red! Saito doesn't know anything, he's a fool! JUST SHUT UP AND LET ME HAVE MY BODY BACK!

Fuck it hurt. Gold let out a groan before falling to his knees. Fighting back was hard. "G-Green…!" Gold shouted out. Green turned around and came back. "What is it Razun?" Green asked, unaware that Gold had taken control. "Cut…the bullshit out. Where's Red?" Gold asked as he wheezed slightly. "He's talking with Fire. What's going on?" Green asked, confused by all of this. "Get Red over here. I know where…" Gold started to say before letting out a cry of pain. It felt like his lungs were on fire. Was he dying? Was this what it felt like to die? "Hey…! Are you okay?" Green asked in a worried tone. "I need to speak…give me Red." Gold said before he started to wheeze again. "Hey Red! I think you might want to come over here for a minute!" Green called out.
Red walked over, upset and slightly confused. "What do you want?" Red asked with a scowl. Gold looked up at Red and smiled. "R-Reddy…!" Gold cried out as he hugged Red weakly. "Get off of me! Don't you dare fucking call me that!" Red hissed. Gold quickly fell to the ground, weak and in pain. "…Do you hate me…? I wanted to be in…I tried…this was for you…" Gold said before he started to cough. "Hey! Are you okay Razun?" Green asked with a panicked tone. "I said to cut the…bullshit. You're a fucking idiot…knock it off Green!" Gold hissed before he started to cough up blood. "HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Red asked in a very panicked voice. "Reddy…taking control…puts a lot of stress…on my body…I'll be back later…I promise…" Gold said before he passed out.

You fool! I tried to warn you. It's not your body anymore. It's mine! Shut up! I need to see Red! I need to let him know I'm okay! If you stayed out for any longer you could have killed the body! Shut up! You don't know anything! I know much more than you so shut up Golden eyes. I already told you! My name isn't Golden eyes! It's Gold!

"You're just like Green." Doctor Richard said. Gary let out a low growl before slapping away the hand that threatened to touch him. "Get the fuck away from me!" Gary yelled. Doctor Richard rubbed his hand. "I see you're picking up words from the others. Very well then. I'll just have to treat you like them. I was trying to be nice." Doctor Richard said with a sneer. Gary let out another growl before crouching down to get in to an attack stance.
Ash let out a cry as Gary came back. It was easy to see what had been done. Gary had a black eye and a few marks on his wrists. "…Gary…are you okay?" Ash asked. Gary was silent before curling up on his bed. Ash walked over and rubbed Gary's back before crawling into bed with him to try and comfort his friend.

It was hard to understand. The way that 'Razun' had been coughing up blood and how he was suddenly alright. "Do you need to take a rest?" Green asked. "There's no time for resting. We have to find Tobi." Razun answered. "But you were coughing up blood." Red said with a frown. "That wasn't me. It was a foolish brat who didn't know any better." Razun answered. Red's eyes widened as he realized what Razun meant. "You fucking bastard! GOLD ISN'T A BRAT!" Red screamed as he lunged at Razun.

Lyra huddled behind Jimmy. "Hand her over Jimmy." Doctor Richard said sternly. "No. Leave her alone!" Jimmy shouted. "Jimmy Kenta Azure! Hand her over right now!" Doctor Richard said as he raised his hand to slap Jimmy. Lyra quickly kicked Doctor Richard and pulled Jimmy away. "Don't touch him you slimy jerk!" Lyra yelled.

It was hard to understand. Why did he have to stay here? Gold just wanted to be free... He just wanted to help the others. There had to be a way he could do this. Any way. Something... Gold took a deep breath before clasping his hands together. He closed his eyes and started to concentrate. He had to make this work. Gold did his best to make it work...

Sometimes it felt like they'd never be free. Being here brought back bad memories. Steven had actually thought he was going to be free. Yet here he was, back in the hospital. Steven had just started to get used to live outside and missed it. As Steven opened the door there was a flash of light. Steven covered his eyes and saw that Mike had also came out. "What is that light?" Mike asked as he shielded his eyes. Steven frowned slightly. There was something odd about this light and yet something that was familiar...

Tanya slowly made her way down the hall, if she was caught she'd be hurt. But this was worth the risk. Entering the room silently Tanya made eye contact with Lyra. Hopefully she'd understand. She took out a small knife and stabbed Doctor Richard's leg. There was a cry of pain and Tanya quickly ran over and grabbed Lyra's hand before bolting out of the room. Lyra let out a cry of protest but stopped.
"Did you get her?" Ricky asked. Tanya nodded her head. Lyra looked at the others with a curious look on her face. What was going on here? "Look, I've met some of the new kids and they are going to help us. I managed to convince them to help take down Doctor Richard." Ricky said as he pulled out a notepad. "I've got their names and ages. Some of them are like us; as in they have beast forms. I've asked them to take some training to learn how to control theirselves while in beast form. Steven has offered to help them out."
