Chapter Text
-Katie-
It's been 10 days since Katie was taken. Yesterday was an odd day for her. She had not been seen or spoken to anybody for most of the day. The only time she saw anyone was early in the morning when she was taken into a sterile examination room. She figured it was just like any of her other examinations. They put a needle in her arm and felt the warm white liquid quickly lull her into a deep sleep.
When she woke, the workers told her it was time for bed. Time for bed? It had just been the morning? What did they do that took that long? Oh well. She was still tired anyway and not wanting to ask questions or arouse suspicion around her she decided it was for the best to comply.
At two points in the day she heard some odd noises. At first in the morning, she heard alarms and beeping noises but then she heard a bunch of footsteps and people talking. She couldnt make out what they were saying but one of the voices didn't sound like the others. It sounded human. Weird. Was there someone else like her there? Were they kidnapped too or are they working with Dark Cucurucho?
The only other time she heard noises was after she was brought back to her room. She heard the footsteps, the talking, and then finally the beeping noise again. This time, she was too tired to try and listen in on their conversation. She just wanted to sleep.

-Ewron-
It was 10 days since Katie was gone. 10 days since he's seen his Katie. He may work for Dark Cucurucho but he shouldn't have messed with her. Today was the day he was going to get as much information he could to help her. It was the only way. He needed to meet Dark cucurucho and talk to him. Delay him enough to where he can find Katie and tell the others. She may not be coming home today but believe him. It will be soon. It will. He needs it to be.
Ewron woke up early this morning. Dark Cucurucho always talks to him early in the day, Ewron has just grown accustomed to it. Good thing he did because at 7 am he got a message in red.
"Come to the Nether. Any Portal. We will find you."
Wasting no time, he made his way towards the closest portal. And to no surprise, a dark worker appeared by his side. Ewron has been to the dark workers HQ before. He never made it a point to look at his coordinates or place a way stone down because why would he need to? He was never worried about somebody he loved so much getting kidnapped by his master. Now he wishes he had looked. Wishes he could have helped her sooner. Wishes he told her sooner.
But now he was standing face to face with the HQ. Now with a new found sense of hatred for the Dark Federation. He had to keep himself together though. For her.
As he walked in, the smell of the rooms hit him. It smelled like disinfectant and burning skin. The further he walked the more angry he got. Sure he's been here before but knowing that Katie has been here isolated like this for more than a week? Nobody comes out of that the same.
Ewron makes it into Dark Cucuruchos meeting room. There he sits at the end of the table surrounded by dark workers. A sight Ewron is used to. He knows he has to speak first. To explain himself.
“Hello master. I am here to ask what my next task is. I'll do anything, anything for you Master.”
Dark Cucurucho laughs in his robotic voice echoing through the room. “ You are so eager to please me. I actually have something I want to show you. Something we have been working on. Something you can have too if you obey.”
Dark Cucurucho stands to leave, motioning Ewron to follow. They walk through the hallway in silence as they make their way to the end of the hall. The lights are blinding in companion with the white walls and floors. The heat is intense, blurring Ewrons eyes. Katie is the only thing he is thinking about.
When they reach the room Dark Cucurucho Brings Ewron to a control panel behind a window. As Ewron got closer to the window he saw something terrifying. It was Katie. Katie was behind the window lying on a table with tubes and needles coming out of her in several areas. She was covered in bruises, her hair was messy and knotted, and eye bags were prominent on her face. He also spotted her new additions to her body. Her horn and wings were also covered in blood, matted and unkept.
This sight was heartbreaking. Seeing Katie there completely destroyed him. But he was afraid. Afraid if he looked like he cared too much he would be found out so.. He started laughing. Laughing like a maniac, even confusing Dark Cucurucho with this reaction.
“I just.. How did this happen? She probably deserved it. She's always doing something stupid that silly girl. This is what she gets from messing with me and the Dark federation.” He continues to laugh
With no further reaction, Dark Cucurucho begins to explain. “We found something in her DNA. She is special. We don't understand fully what she is but she has traces of unicorn and deity blood in her system. Through further experiments we have come to the conclusion that her blood heals wounds at an exceptional pace. We also believe her new Unicorn horn can produce some magical abilities. As we were watching her, when she got emotional, her horn started to emit a imense power. We need to do further testing on her but with this kind of power we can rule the world and take down the federation.”
Ewron was stunned. Katie? Really? His Katie? Has powers? The same Katie that built a KFC and cries dramatically until he forgives her? He couldn't believe it. He wouldn't believe the sight in front of him either. How could they do this to her? His mind was in shambles; he couldn't think of anything but killing them all and saving her right now. But he couldnt. He couldn't risk ruining the plan. He couldn't do this mission alone.
Ewron smiles at Dark Cucurucho nodding at his proposal in order to not look suspicious. Dark Cucurucho spoke some more about upcoming plans and what Ewron should do next but Ewron couldn't concentrate on that.
Soon after they started walking back to the meeting room, Ewron decided this was time to part ways. He makes an excuse to leave, telling Dark Cucurucho they would be in contact and to update him on the new experiment. Before leaving he makes sure to write down his coordinates not to forget about the main reason he's here. Katie.
Without wasting time he messages the other 3 men. It was worse than he thought. They need to move quickly so Katies condition doesn't get any worse.
The others arrive quickly. Meeting at the polish cave was another safe space to meet due to Multis reactor and machines he put in place in order to keep untrustworthy people out.
Ewron explains everything he saw to his fellows. Describing the horrors he saw in the room. The way Katie was lying on the table, her horns, her blood. Everything was awful. He spoke about the way they had her locked up, the way Dark Cucurucho spoke about his plans with her. He also told them about the things they found were special with Katie. It explains how and what the workers they had seen the past day were doing with it.
The news sparked fear and hatred in the others' eyes. The sound of horns, wings and powers immediately caught the brother's attention specifically. Ewron and Multi had known they had a past with the federation but they didn't know the full story. They decided this was the right time to share. They started with how they met, as kids in the federations offices, getting experimented on and how they cared for each other. Don then explained how she used to have those so-called “powers” as well as her horn and wings. He retells how the federation had taken them away from her because she was a danger to them. Taking away her powers leaving Katie defenseless left to relearn everything about herself with her brothers.
Multi connects the dots in his head “So im guessing this is why the Dark federation has been after her…Kurwa.. How much do you think they knew? About her condition and powers?”
“They seemed to know a little bit. They still have a way to go with their experiments. He told he they dont know how to work her powers. We need to work quickly before they overwork her body. She already looked so weak.” Ewron explained.
Out of nowhere Ash stands. “ We need to leave as soon as possible. I can't let her go through this again. Please. We need to save her.”
Grabbing onto Ash’s shoulders Don nods his head in agreement but has something else to add “ I think we should talk to Schlatt again. When we got out and were forced apart for a while he was the one who found her and cared for her. He would want to know and he has been through something similar before. I think he could help.”
