EP.127|DON'T TOUCH MY CJ!!!

After hours of Philip torturing CJ, he left her there, chained to the wall. She breathed heavily, her body was aching, everything hurt.

Her body was shaking and cold, she could sense Carlos was close but them being farther apart was torture.

Not like the torture she was receiving from Philip, now that was torture, every whip, every yell, every scream, every time he slashed her, it broke her spirit.

“You’re nothing but a dumb blonde” those words burned in her brain like a horrible scar.

She worried if those words were true. Was CJ nothing but a dumb blonde? Was she not the Pirate Princess Carlos always called her?

She felt so valuable, so weak, so sensitive, so...soft. She never felt like this before, she wanted to cry and yell and curl up in a ball and cry.

She’s the Pirate Princess, she can't cry, she can't be valuable, she had to protect her treasure, she needed to be the one who saves people, not the other way around.

But here, in this dark, damp, cold, horrible cell, CJ felt like she was broken down to nothing. Like a calm when it’s pearl is taken out.

And CJ’s pearl was take out, she was an empty shell. She was just a dumb blonde.

Was that all she was?

Maybe CJ wasn’t the pirate princess Carlos thought she was.

“Where is she?!” Carlos yelled. “Do you really believe I’m gonna tell you?” Philip laughed “I’m not that stupid.”

“But if you wanna see her that bad then here.” Philip tapped the crystal orb and a video of CJ popped up.

“Say hi to the little dog boy, CJ.” Philip snicked. Carlos eyes widened in horror, CJ looked so pale, her golden hair began to fade into a dull yellow, her eyes we clouded and puffy.

Her body was covered in bruises and scrapes, and a deep scar over her neck and one over her stomach.

“What did you do to her?!” Carlos growled, tugging on the chains. “I just played with her for a little bit.” Philip smirked.

“I suppose you heard her screams,” Philip scrunched up Carlos’s face “she’s so cute when she screams.”

“You know what, let’s see her scream again, if she has any breath left.” Philip pressed a button on the crystal orb, sending shock thru CJ’s body. “AGH!!!!” she yelled.

“So it looks like the dumb blonde has words left.” Philip chuckled. “Don't call her that!!” Carlos roared.

“That’s what she is though, she may say she’s a “pirate princess” but in reality, she’s just a dumb blonde. That’s all she’ll ever be.” Philip said, CJ began to cry.

“Look, the little blonde’s crying.” Philip snickered. “I...I’m...sorry….” CJ muttered, Carlos, with his long distance hearing heard her.

“I promise I’ll get you back.” Carlos promised.

“Something’s wrong.” Mal guessed. “What?” Zeref asked. Mal then had a strange sensation go down her back.

Her eyes turned a emerald green color, she followed Ben’s sent till she found Ben lying on the floor.

“Ben, Ben, Ben! Wake up!” Mal noticed Ben’s eyes opening. “Where’s CJ and Carlos?” Mal asked.

“Th...third...floor…” Ben marked as Mal carried him on her back

The VK’s ran up to the third floor and heard piercing screams. “Can you see anything Hunter?” Mal asked, the VK’s running thru the third floor. “Yeah, but it’s small.” Hunter answered.

Hunter opened up the doors to reveal a small bunny kicking Hunter in the face. “OW!” Hunter groaned.

“Who the hell are you?!” Snowball yelled. “Hu...Hunter...ow…” Hunter muttered.

“You go beaten up by a bunny. Dumb ass.” Brazzen laughed. “Shut up…” Hunter sighed.

“Hunter...wait...Carlos’s friend!” Snowball quickly got off of him. “You know Carlos?” Zeref asked.

“Yeah, he tried to save us by getting all the animals off the ship that brought us here, eventually, it all failed.” Snowball shortly explained.

“What’s with the spots?” Freddie questioned. “Stupid C-38.” Snowball growled. “Is that the drug that makes you have the spots?” Mal asked.

“Yeah, it it, when C-38 is injected into someone, the poison finds the closest living thing to fuse with, turning the animals into weird combinations. For me, the closest animal was a dalmation, hence the spots.” Snowball sadly explained.

Operetta reached her hand for the vial, Snowball quickly jumped back  out of Operetta’s reach “don't touch it!” Snowball yelled hastily, “they’re like dominos, if you move one, they all explode.”

“But it’s hurting you to wear it.” Operetta stated, the vial flashed a purple light causing Snowball to wince in pain. “I’ll be fine, we have to find-” Snowball groaned as the vial seeped it’s poison into her body system “Carlos and Tyrock.”

“You’re in no shape...to go...anywhere…” Ben muttered. “Neither are you,” Snowball slowly began to get up, “but Tyrock” she sighed “he’s my best friend, I just can't leave him there.”

“He protected me before,” the poison keeps pulsing thru her veins, making her fall down to the floor again “now, I have to return the favor.”

Tyrock hanged upside down from the ceiling, his vision was blurry and frankly, he missed Snowball.

She was his best friend, she’s been there since the beginning, every adventure, all the pain, and the misery, all the fun times. Snowball was there.

Truth be told, he began developing feelings for the small rabbit. Admitting to her however, that was something he could never dream of.

It was something about the bunny that made him smile, something that made him stand in front of that laser the day Philip and Lucifer attacked, something that made him want to be next to her forever.

He didn’t know what it was, but everyday she was with him, he didn’t want the day to end.

Everytime she electrocutes him, one would think he would hate her but it only made him lover her more.

He couldn't deny it anymore, he was in love with Snowball. If only she was here to tell her.

As if the gods and goddesses answered his prayers, Snowball kicked down the door, Tyrock could tell she was pissed.

“What’s with...all the noise?” Carlos asked. “Operetta, help me get him down.” Mal and Operetta began to undo the chains, allowing Carlos to drop to the floor.

Carlos vision was blurry, his body was weak, he felt like he was dying, everything around him began to dim and fade into black.

“Hey! Hey! Carlos! Stay with me.” Freddie slapped his face, his vision, while the black was going away, the blurriness was still there.

“You need to stay strong for me, for CJ, you need to stay alive.” Freddie told him, Carlos groaned, turning his face to the side.

“I...I can't…” Carlos managed to say. “Yes. You can Carlos. Look, you promised yourself you would fight to get CJ back. You need to make sure she’s gonna be okay.” Freddie said.

“But...I can't...Philip, he…” Freddie stopped him, “Philip is nothing, remember what he did to CJ, you’re pirate princess, your everything, you’re just gonna let Philip take that all away.”

“Listen to Freddie, Carlos. You need to fight. Fight for your mate. Fight for your honor.” Alvarez motivated.

“Alvarez, I can't, he’s to strong…” Carlos groaned. “NO! Remember what happened with Philip the first time? Remember how pissed you were!” Alvarez reminded him.

Carlos then heard the screams from down the hall, his eyes turned red, Freddie could see a faint glow from under his back.

She turned Carlos on his side to see his pentagram scar was glowing. He sat up slowly, he was growling, his fingernails digged into his hand.

“Where’s...CJ?” Carlos growled. “There’s the Carlos I know.” Alvarez smirked. “Ben…” Mal began, Ben nodded, he could sense Carlos’ power rising.

“Animalistic power rise where their mate is in danger.” Ben stated. “Seriously?” Zeref asked, Ben nodded again.

“Yeah,” Ben looked into Carlos’ eyes “it’s Carlos though, he’s been locked up here for weeks with Philip constantly teasing him about CJ, now that he’s free” Carlos got up, Ben could see Carlos’ mark pulsating in a red color.

“He’s gonna kill Philip.” Ben breath was shaky.

Carlos’ turned around, his eyes red as Evie’s necklace, “we find CJ. We get out of here.” Carlos stated. “What about Philip?” Freddie asked. “Leave him to me.” Carlos scowled.

Before walking out of the room, he noticed Tyrock stood in front of him. “You’re not...going anywhere…” Tyrock coughed, the poison seeping into his blood.

“Why is that?” Carlos glared at him. “You barely just got healed, you animalistic powers are slowly returning-” “my powers are fine.” Carlos interrupted.

“That’s because your angry as hell, causing your power to rise. If you fight Philip know, who knows how your powers will react! They might fizz out when your in the battle. You need to relax.” Tyrock told him.

“If my powers fizz out then that’s fine. The only thing that matters now is getting CJ back. I don't care if my powers run out, I’ll do anything for her, I’ll fight anything, anyone, any animal for her.”

Carlos got close to Tyrock’s face, “I made a promise to myself back on the Misty Archeligo that I would find who marked CJ and kill them. That’s what I’m determined to do.” Tyrock could see the fire in Carlos’s eyes.

Tyrock sighed, admitting defeat “alright, go ahead, just promise me one thing,” Carlos looked into Tyrock’s eyes, “don't die.”

“I won't,” Carlos scrunched up his fist, “but Philip will”
