OUTSIDE

William threw a punch at Sebastian. Sebastian tried to duck but at the last second, was hit in the top part of his head, sending him to the ground. Sean yelled as he ran at William with the bat. He got a few hits in until William grabbed the end of the bat, yanked it forwards with one hand and used the other hand to hit Sean in the face, sending him to the ground. The bat slipped from Sean's hand and was gripped tightly in William's hand. He flipped it so he was holding the handle and then he stood over Sean, who had been dazed by the hard hit to the face. He started to raise the bat.

"You shall be the first!" William growled as Sean soon looked up at him. His eyes widened slightly.

"WILLIAM!" Gregory yelled from behind. Just as William turned, Gregory punched him in the face as hard as he could. Causing him to stagger a little. Before he could have a chance to recover, Gregory began punching him in the face. More hard than Sebastian's hits and Sean's hits.

"This is for the five children you killed! This is for Elizabeth and Chris! This is for Clara! This is for the other five children! This is for me! This is for Henry Emily. And this….is for Michael!" Gregory yelled, punching him numerous times and punching him even harder when yelling Michael's name. Blood sprayed from his nose and mouth after every hit. And those hits, eventually sent him stumbling to the ground. Gregory then stood over William with his fists, now bloody. His chest heaving. An angry look on his face.

"You're never going to hurt anyone ever again!" Gregory growled as he got ready to punch William again. However, the effects of the machine wore off and William's powers returned. As his eyes glowed purple, he shot his hand out at Gregory. Tremendous power sending the kid to the ground. William quickly pushed himself up onto his feet and then began hitting Gregory over and over and over with punches and kicks.

He then shot out his hand again at Gregory, using his powers to force Gregory to his feet. He then clenched his fist and a loud snap from Gregory's arm was heard. Followed by a loud howl of pain.

As this was happening, Grace happened to be walking by. When she saw William possessing Michael's body and hurting Gregory after already hurting Sean and Sebastian, she rushed over. Yelling Gregory's name.

William and Gregory both looked at Grace as she ran over. William then grinned as he looked back at Gregory.

"Once I'm finished with you, I'll kill your little girlfriend!" William laughed as he then injured Gregory a bit more with his powers before throwing him to the ground. He then held out his other hand in the direction of his hideout and a knife flew into his hand. Grace saw this and knew the worst was about to happen.

"NO!" Grace yelled, trying to get to Gregory. William, with such ease, shot his hand at Grace, using his powers to force her to the ground. She groaned a little after impacting with the ground.

IN WILLIAM'S MIND

William and Michael grabbed each other by the head and yelled angrily. Both their eyes glowed purple. And that caused a massive over-surge of power that knocked them away from each other. Michael quickly got to his feet and ran at his father. He then began pummelling his father hard with punches.

"THIS IS FOR MY MOTHER! MY SISTER! MY BROTHER! SEBASTIAN! GREGORY! SEAN! AND ME!" Michael yelled as blood splattered along the floor beside William's face. He then grabbed his dazed father and pulled him up by the collar.

"GO TO HELL!" Michael yelled as his eyes glowed brighter. A massive wave of power exploded, destroying part of the room around Michael and William. And throwing Michael off of William.

When he sat up slowly a few minutes later, he saw a doorway. He also saw that his father had disappeared. He had fought some sort of spirit version of his father. After realising that, he felt like what the fight was, was some kind of test. To see how powerful he actually was and how he could use that power to finally overpower his father. He knew in the real world, his father was not yet defeated but at least now, he knew that he was stronger. Stronger than his father. Stronger than anyone that was willing to hurt him, his kids and Sebastian. But all that strength and power he used in that fight, drained him severely.

The doorway that he had spotted before, was accompanied by a bright white glow. Knowing this was the way out, he got to his feet and began staggering towards it. As he did, he heard voices. Voices that belonged to his brother, sister and mother.

"I'm so proud of you, Mike" Clara's voice spoke.

"You're an amazing big brother, Michael!" Chris's voice spoke.

"You're our hero, Mikey!" Elizabeth's voice spoke.

OUTSIDE

"You're not going to be able to escape me now you little shit!" William smiled, slowly walking towards an injured Gregory, who was pulling himself along the ground away from William.

"Michael! If you're still in there somehow! None of this is your fault!" Gregory said tearfully.

"Michael's not here! Not anymore" William sneered, holding his knife. He then held out his other hand, which glowed purple. Gregory could no longer move. He was then forced onto his back. William then stood over him, looking down at him with evil in his eyes.

"I'm going to enjoy killing you. Just like I'll enjoy Michael's reaction to seeing you dead in front of him" William smiled, raising the knife in the air. Gregory looked up at Michael with tears of fear in his eyes.

"Michael! I know you're in there. I know that he's making you feel weak and powerless but that is something you're not. You're not weak. You're not powerless. You are strong. You are brave. You are powerful. And most importantly, you're my dad. And I love you just as much as you love me. It's not your fault for what happened. None of this you could control. If you can hear me, please come back to me" Gregory said as tears fell down the side of his face.

William brought the knife down, piercing Gregory in the abdomen. Gregory grunted slightly and his eyes widened. William removed the knife in a very harsh manner, causing a bit of blood to fly off the blade. Blood seeped through Gregory's t-shirt and onto the ground, forming a small puddle. William raised the knife again.

"D-don't let him win. What happened to your brother and sister wasn't your fault. Don't let him guilt you into thinking it was" Gregory stammered. William began bringing the knife down but stopped halfway. Looking like he was hesitating. Gregory looked at Michael's eyes, noticing the purple glow was flickering.

"Michael?" Gregory said. The glow completely disappeared from Michael's eyes. And his eyes widened in horror.

"Gregory!?" Michael spoke. Gregory just looked at him. Michael then looked at his hand, noticing the bloody knife. He then looked down and noticed the stab wound on Gregory's abdomen.

"Wha-what did I do!?" Michael asked tearfully. Gregory just smiled, grabbing Michael's wrist.

"It's ok. It wasn't you" Gregory told him.

The knife dropped from Michael's hand, landing on the ground, making a clattering noise. He pushed himself up onto his feet and stood back. He then grabbed his head and began yelling out in pain. His screams sounding distorted.

"M-Michael?" Gregory said, sitting up slowly and looking at him with worry.

After a few minutes, Michael dropped to the ground unconscious.

"Michael!" Gregory exclaimed.

"Gregory!" Sean yelled. Gregory turned his head, noticing Sean and Sebastian conscious, running towards him and Michael. Grace rushed over as well. Gregory collapsed onto his back.

Sean and Grace kneeled down beside Gregory. While Sean held Gregory's wound, Grace held his hand.

"Just stay with us! You're going to be ok" Sean told Gregory, who just looked at him.

Sebastian kneeled down next to Michael and gently picked him up, laying him in his lap.

"Is he ok?" Gregory then asked, gasping slightly as he lifted his head to look at Sebastian. Sean and Grace looked as well.

"I'm not sure" Sebastian replied in a worried tone as he looked at the three.

LATER, HOSPITAL

Gregory, Sean and Sebastian sat beside Michael's hospital bed, just looking at Michael with sad yet worried expressions. Michael lay on the bed, almost lifeless. Almost pale as a ghost and a breathing tube in his mouth. After a mental fight with his father, Michael had physically exhausted himself. So much so that his brain just couldn't handle it anymore. He ended up slipping into a coma as a result.

Gregory, who was in a wheelchair due to the stab wound to his abdomen, gently grabbed Michael's hand and held it. Tears slowly fell down his face. Sean noticed and immediately comforted him the best he could.

Soon a doctor came in. Sebastian stood up from his chair, looking at the doctor with a look that said "Please tell me there's good news".

"We've done what we can for Michael. Now, it's up to him" The doctor told Sebastian as he then looked at Michael. Sebastian also looked at Michael.

"Don't give up please, Michael" Gregory sobbed, gently rubbing the top of Michael's hand with his thumb.
