Earth (Second timeline)

-Dirk looked at Casi and said, “I need to go help him.” He stood up and went to go find Gamzee. Kanaya sighed and said, “This is going to be horrible! Dirk! Get back here!” Jake looked at them and sighed, “They do realize I could have taken them. Casi, this is a huge mess but, I promise you everyone will come out okay. Do you want me to stay here or make sure Dirk doesn’t do something stupid? He’s not exactly in his right mind right now.”-
-
Casi blinked,”You can stay here, I’ll go after my other father.” The girl followed Dirk and caught up with him quickly,”Uh, Dirk, I don’t think pissing off Gamzee would help to much. After all others have already been after Karkat. I would trust Dave and know what he’s doing with his timy whiney stuff.”
-
-Dirk looked at her and shook his head, “Yeah but he’s hurt. I need to protect him.” All of a sudden, the phone began to ring. Dirk looked up and said, “Casi, you may want to get that.” He was going to sneak away as she answered.-
-
Casi nodded,”Though, your coming with me. I promised Jake I’ll keep you out of shit.” The girl grabbed Dirk’s hand and dragged him over to the phone and picked it up,”Hello?” She paused,”Right now?” There was yelling from the other side of the phone,”It’s kinda a bad ti-Oh fuck you don’t even care. Fine.”
-
*his bike’s engine roared as he gassed it, the sound echoed loudly off the empty buildings before he rounded the corner onto his friends street. He gassed it again to let her know that he was coming in*
-
-Those in the front room were a bit startled by the roaring of the engine heard outside from the motorcycle. The room tensed up and took a look out windows to see, most hiding as to not be seen in return. Dirk tried to tug away from Casi and said, “Please, I want to protect him.” Jake had actually went instead, having disappeared.-
-
Casi looked up at Dirk and said firmly,”I promised Jake. Stay here. Please.” She tugged him into the living room and set him on the couch. The girl then walked to the front door and opened it, watching Grey ride up the road.
-
He pulled up the driveway and got off his bike. He unclipped his helmet and pulled it free, THEN shook his head and placed it in his sylladex.He sweeped Casi into a hug. ” Hey there, i haven’t seen you in a a while… ” He pulled away and grabbed the box strapped on his bike. “These are for you…”
-
-The group inside just kept watching. Dirk sat on the couch as she required him too and he just let out a sigh. John looked better out the window and then came into full view and went to the door. “Hey!” He said, making sure he was noticed. He somewhat recognized him.-
———————————————————————————————————-
-Karkat had found the time and was sitting in the darkness, watching Kroman being offered power. He watched him nod and followed him to a different room, carefully. He watched Kroman get strapped to a table and him being confused. Karkat watched as Carolus stabbed the needles into his veins and start draining and replacing. Karkat moved himself out of the room but peered back in to see Kroman go into pure rage from the new blood before it was barely in his system. Karkat put two and two together the Kroman didn’t know that was what he meant. He saw Carolus coming right for the door once the needles were ripped out and he pulled away into the shadows. Carolus peered to the side as he came out and slammed the door behind him. “I know you are here.” Karkat remained hidden but Carolus turned right to him and said, “Are you interested? Mutant blood…” Karkat shook his head and placed the sword deep into his modus. He made a run for it and Carolus cut him off as he used his wings for speed. Karkat felt Carolus grip his shoulders with his nails and he drug him to a room similar to the one he was just in and slammed him on the table. Karkat struggled, making Carolus slide a hand up to his throat to choke him until he passed out. Carolus then hooked Karkat to the table and stuck a needle in one of his arms to start draining out the red blood. He started to set up the other, a vat of fuchsia blood. He waited until Karkat started going pale to place in the other needle and filter in the fuchsia. Karkat burst awake, ripping Sollux into the room. Carolus smirked and said, “Trying to save your friend? Won’t work. If you take out those needles, you will kill him.” Sollux looked at Karkat and then at Carolus and said, “I can fix it… after I hand your ass to you.” Sollux’s eyes glowed and hypodermic needles off a table flew at Carolus, him giving a flap of his wings to go up and miss it. Carolus then dove at Sollux and tackled him backwards and rolling on the ground.-
-
Casi took the box,”Come in, your father is here, Dave is currently out right now.” She stepped to the side and Grey walked in, closing the door behind him. “This is for you, I forgot to give it to you a while ago.” The girl dumped a pile of arrows and a random flame thrower on the floor in front of him from her modus.
-
The boy laughed happily. “Thanks!” He looked around exited. “Dad is here? I haven’t seen him in a while…” Grey trailed off and placed the weapons in his modus. ” Do you know where Pa is then? I was hoping to see him again…”
-
-John waved at Grey still and said, “Hey! How have you been?!” The others dropped their guards and smiled and started greeting Grey happily. Dirk looked at the newcomer but just stayed in his bog, making sure his shades were firm on his face.-
———————————————————————————————
-Karkat screamed in both pain and growing rage. The vat of his candy red was nearly full and the fuchsia was half emptied. Sollux managed to get Carolus off of him and sent another few objects soaring at Carolus and he got them in his wings in blocking short range. An enraged Gamzee appeared in the room and looked at Karkat and heard the screaming. That only enraged him more and he sent himself at Carolus’s wing and yanked it, making a cracking noise. Jake showed up next, him going for the other wing and pulling at it. Sollux used that to sent more objects and piercing Carolus. He roared out at them and used his wings to throw Gamzee and Jake to the walls. He then went up and backfisted Sollux into the corner of the table Karkat was strapped to. Dave appeared and looked at the ongoings, Carolus turning his head to look at Dave. He ran at him and was going to strike at his chest with his nails but at the last second, Jake got in the way and held onto his hand. It pierced him but he pushed it back with pure adrenalin. Gamzee got himself up and grabbed Carolus’s wings and jerked back, ripping them off and sending his red blood everywhere. Carolus yelled out and turned from Jake and sliced Gamzee badly. Sollux forced himself up and shot items at Carolus to pin him down. “Get to the table!” Dave choked out and started wobbling to the Table Karkat was at and pulled out the output needle and the input once the fuchsia was in. He was hurting bad from his arms but he tried to switch the down and up vats, Karkat yelling and struggling as if to kill. Gamzee got himself up despite hurting bad and helped him pick up the vat of red blood. Jake and Sollux took the now empty vat and took it off its hinges and placed it on the ground, plugging in the needle to try and get the fuchsia to start draining back out. Sollux wiped the blood coming from his eyes. Dave and Gamzee got the red hooked up and waited for some of the fuchsia to get out. Jake was feeling his own loss and fell over. Sollux went seeking through the area and found medical wraps, placing gauze in the hole to sap it up. He then wrapped it shut and just tried to keep track of Jake’s pulse. Dave looked at them and watched the blood in the emptying vat and said, “come on…” Gamzee placed his hand on Karkat, despite the flailing and he, himself, was shaking from losing blood.-
-
Casi walked over and sat down by Dirk silently, grabbing his hand and squeezed it lightly. She watched her cousin mingle around with the others and turned to Dirk and quietly said,”If you really think you have to go, then go. I can’t stop you really, but I won’t recommend it. As I think Gamzee already left to go get Karkat too.”
-
He tackled his dad happily and smiled into his shoulder, his voice was slightly muffled. “Dad!”
He pulled his head back and looked around. “Where’s Pa?” He greeted the other people/trolls as they gathered around him. -
-John smiled and held onto Grey while he was there. He said, “He is supposed to be in his room.” Kanaya interrupted, “He went to go save Karkat.” The others met and greeted with Grey. Dirk looked at Casi with a weak smile and said, “I can feel Jake went. They will be alright… He’s a hope player after all.” He smiled a bit more but still with a hint of sorrow about him, “And I am not mentally able to really do that… rescue I mean. Dave is tougher than he looks too.”-
——————————————————————————————————–
-Karkat calmed down as the blood flowed out, then Dave stabbed the other needle into Karkat to give his red blood back. He watched Karkat, who was still in pain but the rage was dying. Gamzee smiled a bit and then held his sliced open wounds and leaned over on Karkat, his head right onto Karkat’s lap. Sollux ignored his bleeding eyes to keep a track on Jake, needing to pile on more and more gauze and wraps. He turned to Dave and said, “He’s bleeding through! Hurry up!” Dave turned and said, “It’s going as fast as it can!” Carolus broke free and launched himself at them. Sollux placed down Jake and punched into one of the wounds he inflicted on Carolus earlier. Dave turned and looked at him and forced his arms up and drew one of his blades and sliced at Carolus best he could. Carolus reared back and then smirked as blood dripped off him and he flipped a switch and closed and locked the door. They heard a hissing noise and Dave put himself back over near Karkat. “Come on…” He placed his hand on a reopened wounds from moving too much. Sollux moved to get more bandages and he found where the hissing was coming from. He covered his mouth and found duct tape, starting to try and tape over the vents a horrible scent was coming from.-
