Vivi looked up with wet puffy eyes, Mystery was barking and jumping at the door. She got mad and threw her pillow at him.

'No. I don't want to go for a walk.' She said rolling over. Mystery let the pillow hit him, it didn't hurt at all. He whined, he made it as desperate as he could make it sound. After a while Vivi rolled back over and looked into his eyes, she sighed as she was defeated by his look. She stood and opened the door of her room, together they walked to the front door. She opened it and the moment she did Mystery ran as fast as he could out of the building, he even opened the entrance to the place. He could hear Vivi running after him, yelling at him to stop. He only did long enough for Vivi to see him on the street and then he ran for Arthur's place, Vivi chasing after him knowing full well that something was wrong.

Mystery's legs where burning when he turned a corner in the street and he saw what he had hoped would never happen. Arthur was hanging limp in Lewis' hand and Lewis was holding a fist back, ready to strike him down. Mystery ran on, he didn't know how far back Vivi was but he wasn't going to hold back. He felt himself grow in size and he tackled Lewis, wrapping his tails around Arthur and pulling him away from Lewis.

'Stop.' Mystery cried out. There was nothing but silence that followed, almost silence, Arthur was getting as much air into his lungs as he could.

Vivi had only been a few meters behind Mystery when he changed, but that didn't matter for her. Arthur had been dying in the ghost's hand, and that gave her determination to get to him. Once Mystery had lowered Arthur to the floor Vivi was hugging him, checking him over. Arthur had his gaze on the ghost and so Vivi also turned to see what was happening. Mystery was protecting them from the ghost by standing right in front of them, he was whining, begging for the ghost to stop.

'Lewis, please stop and listen you…' Mystery was saying, but was soon cut off.

'No. That demon took my friend from me and Vivi, he took him in order to kill me and it needs to pay.' The purple ghost was yelling. Lewis? The name bounced around Vivi's head and what happened next, happened so fast that Vivi hardly registered it.

Arthur saw it, he saw Lewis' energy blast Mystery to his side and then Lewis threw a ball of energy in the direction of Arthur. Arthur knew that Vivi was right next to him and jumped forward, crossing his arms as a shield. Metal in front of flesh, as it had become a habit. The energy ball exploded when it made contact, fire exploded everywhere. Arthur became aware as his body was thrown back, that his left arm was no longer there and burnt in several places, including at his stump. He hadn't flown back that far and actually landed on grass.

He laid there in peace or in pieces as he thought in his head, he even laughed at his own lame joke. There was a flash of blue and then white in his vision, and the crying of a purple figure cut into his head. Arthur was brought back to reality, he sat up whimpering out in pain when he moved his only hand. Lewis was standing there completely dumbfounded, with tears still staining his living face. Arthur realised that some blood was freely flowing down his left side, he turning and froze. His robotic arm was completely gone knocked from the brace. He looked around wildly and he found it a little while away, broke, beaten and even scorched, but somewhat intact. Arthur stood up, he ignored the alarms of concern from Vivi and Mystery and made his way to the arm. He flexed the only fingers that he had left and tried to pick it up, it was painful but he did it either way. Vivi was at him in an instant, wrapping her scarf around the stump.

'You dam idiot, do you think at all.' Vivi was saying as she tied off a knot. Arthur was watching Lewis and Mystery moved to go in between them. Lewis still hadn't moved, he seemed to be at war with himself.

'You are really Arthur…' Lewis said. Arthur nodded weakly, he was aware that he felt dizzy, but ignored the feeling.

'But the demon it had you and…' Lewis' eyes widened as he noticed the metal arm and stump. 'What happened to your arm?' He said, extremely worried. Arthur just smiled weakly as his knees gave out from under him, the last thing he saw was Lewis running for him with his arms outstretched.

'Arty?'

'Lewis go get the van. Vivi, you need to calm down.'

'Arthur, please be ok.'

Arthur knew that he was in the back of the van and they were moving, fast. He tried to speak, but he was dizzy and his head hurt.

'Don't even think about it mister.' Vivi warned. Arthur had tried to get up, but Vivi firmly held him down.

'Were are we going?' Arthur mumbled out.

'What do you mean where are we going, you sir are going to the hospital.' Arthur frowned.

'Why?' He asked. Arthur couldn't see it, but Vivi was close to smacking him.

'Arthur, we will get Sam to fix you up again and then we will talk about this. All of this.' She said, hints of anger by the end. Arthur smiled, he didn't know why, but he did.

'That's sounds good.' He mumbled before passing out again.

'Arthur?' Said a voice said, but it sounded so far away.

'Arthur if you can hear me, squeeze your hand.' The voice sounded familiar, but Arthur couldn't figure whose it was. He squeezed his hand, and became aware that there was another hand holding his.

'Good. Arthur can you open your eyes, even if it's for a bit?' Arthur felt himself slowly drifting back to sleep, but he fought against it. He knew that his left shoulder hurt, why was that? Then the events that happened seemed to fill him with the need to get up, Lewis, he needed to talk to Lewis. He opened his eyes and jolted up right, Sam jumped back in fright with the unexpected movement. Arthur took back his hand from Vivi and curled in on himself, breathing hard.

'Lewis.' Arthur said quietly, Vivi leaned forward to try to hear him better and he repeated himself. Sam turned to the big boy that sat as far from the rest that he could, he was wearing dark sunglasses indoors. Odd.

'I think he is asking for you.' She said before turning to Vivi and left once she made eye contact with her. Vivi understood that she was leaving them so that they could talk, Vivi looked toward the purple ghost. He didn't budge from his spot. Arthur's breathing slowed and he sat up right, he looked right at Lewis, who was no long in a suit but back in his old clothes. Arthur cleared his throat before speaking.

'Lewis.' Arthur said and the ghost flinched. 'Lewis, do you hate me?' Arthur asked.

'I should be asking you the same thing.' Lewis said, his voice was filled with sadness and regret. 'I did try to kill you.' Arthur nodded, he wasn't going to deny it. Arthur closed his eyes before speaking again.

'But I did kill you, with my own hand. Lewis you have every right to be angry at me, I caused so many problems. I…' He broke off, tears falling. 'I always have.' He finished before fully braking down. Lewis walked to his side, but did nothing more, Lewis wanted to comfort Arthur but he didn't want to touch him. To hurt him.

'Lewis?' Vivi asked and then ran around the bed to jump at Lewis. 'Oh my god, Lewis. I missed you so much.' Vivi cried out as Lewis returned her hug. She pulled away suddenly, anger fully visible.

'What were you thinking?' She screamed at him, Lewis took a step back. 'Why would you take away my memories?' She was crying as she looked at the three males in the room.

'What the hell where all of you thinking, why did you all keep secrets from me.' She broke down in front of them and then she ran out of the room, needing to get away from all of them. Mystery whine as she ran away, other than that no one else did a thing. Arthur laid down and turned his head to Lewis. Lewis shook his head, tears visible under the glasses. Arthur could see him move to the door as well, but before he could leave Arthur spoke up.

'Don't go.' Arthur pledged, but Lewis was shaking his head and he ran out of the room. Mystery growled before running after him, Arthur started to cry as they had all left him.

'I would never leave you Arthur.' Arthur sobbed, he didn't want to be alone with it.

'Come on Arthur, I have always been there for you.'

'No. You killed my best friend. You are evil. Lewis was after you, not me.' He said.

'What do you think would happen if he found out we are connected, you are me as much as I am you. Intertwined.' Arthur shook his head hard, like way trying to lose the demon. Arthur opened his eyes and jumped from his bed, he needed to leave to get out. He found his wallet, phone and keys on the bedside table, he pocketed them and walking right out the door. He was happy to find that no one realised that he was a patent, but to be fair he was still in his normal clothes, and he walking right out of the hospital. Arthur easily found his van sitting in the parking lot and he drove off to Kingsmen, the moment got there he left the van he ran for the alleyway entrance. For a moment he feared that Lance could still be around, but he was relieved to find that no one was around when he opened the door. It was a short walk to the door of his workshop and once he entered, he was given some sense of safety. Arthur was on edge and he knew that he needed a smoke and thats what he want for next, soon enough he had one lit in his mouth. He loved the calm that he was given for that moment, his phone went off and he didn't even bother to look at it. Instead he pulled it out of his pocket and threw it on the table as he sat down on a stool.

'What exactly was your plan?' The demon asked. Arthur just constricted on smoking. 'Vivi was mad at you, did you notice that?' Arthur ignored him, he turned to where he had part of a prototype of an arm. He decided to work on it to pass the time, the demon stayed silent as he worked.

*Note

Well a depressed Lewis is something different and I hope I am going to make it work, but its still going to be odd. Arthur is going to be sad and depressed for a while, Vivi is going to be quick to snap back to her normal self. Till next time.
