"I fear zhat ve have gotten here too late."

Schneep entered Jack's house and darted to Marvin's side with a first aid kit in hand, Chase, JJ, and Robbie following him into the kitchen.

"I don't like this, there's no sign of Anti anywhere." Chase growled as he scanned the area, Schneep checking the magician's vitals.

"He is alive, but I can't do much for him vith out my equipment back at zhe hospital." Schneep stated, carefully removing the knife from Marvin's chest.

Marvin let out a weak cry as more blood flowed down his shirt, pooling around him as his blue eyes slowly fluttered open to look at Schneep.

"G-go, it-it's not safe." Marvin pleaded in a whisper, the German ignoring him as he shined a flashlight in the wound to see what had been punctured.

"Your left lung vas hit, I'm surprised you've lived zhis long." Schneep told Marvin grimly, the magician coughing as blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.

"The-the bastard d-did it on pur-purpose to make m-me su-suffer." Marvin wheezed, coughing up blood.

"So you all really do care about him, how cute."

The trio turned away from Marvin to see Anti standing in the doorway of the kitchen with blood staining his shirt, the knife he had stabbed Marvin with in his hand.

"Robbie want Jack, not bad man." Robbie whimpered as he crawled over towards Anti before Chase could stop him.

"Fuck off." Anti snarled coldly as he kicked Robbie hard in the face, the zombie staggering back with a pained cry as his jaw shattered.

"Oh that's it bitch, you're fucking dead!" Chase snarled furiously, raising his gun to shoot Anti in the face.

"You kill me, you kill Jack too." Anti reminded Chase calmly as Robbie scampered over to Schneep and cowered behind the German.

"Don't...don't do it." Marvin begged, his eyes barely open and his skin pale like a ghost as his breathing became labored.

Chase hesitated for a moment, Anti taking the opportunity to throw his knife at Chase with deadly precision.

"Chase!" Robbie cried as he pushed the male out of the way, the knife embedding into the side of his head with a sickening thud.

Chase caught Robbie as the zombie fell towards the floor, Robbie's pale blue eyes staring lifelessly at the male as Chase cradled Robbie's head in his lap while tears streamed down his face.

"Well now things will be entertaining." Anti remarked as he strode towards the pair, JJ stepping in front of Anti.

"What're you going to do, sign language me to death?" Anti taunted with a sneer, the corner of JJ's lips turning up in a smile.

"No, I think I'll just beat you up the old fashioned way." JJ decided, swinging a fist at Anti's face.

Anti's eyes widened in surprise as JJ's fist connected with his temple, causing him to take a dazed step back before shaking his head and standing in an attack position.

"Ve can't take Anti on by ourselves!" Schneep shouted to JJ, the dapper ducking under Anti's knife.

Chase continued sobbing as he held Robbie's body in his arms, his gun lying on the floor several feet away from him.

"Well I'm open to suggestions!" JJ shot back, landing a punch on Anti's stomach that made him double over so JJ could upper cut him.

I have an idea, but I have no idea if it vill vork." Schneep admitted as he looked directly into the magician's eyes.

"Vhere is your vand?" Schneep questioned, Marvin chuckling sadly as he shook his head in defeat.

"Anti broke it, I'm powerless without it." Marvin mumbled softly, his voice barely audible over the fighting.

"A vand does not make you a magician," Schneep replied as he gently poked Marvin's chest.

"The magic inside of you does."

Marvin was silent as he contemplated the German's words, his gaze fixated on JJ and Anti as they continued to fight.

"A little help?" JJ panted as Anti's knife grazed his arm, the male crying out in pain as Anti kicked JJ behind his knees to make him fall to the floor.

"Oh JJ, where's your PMA now?" Anti laughed as he held the knife to JJ's throat, pressing the tip of the knife hard enough against his skin to create a droplet of blood.

"Marvin? Marvin!" Schneep shouted as Marvin closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling one last time before the magician was still.

"This is the end of the Possepticeye." Anti declared as he moved his knife to slit JJ's throat, Schneep moving to interfere.

"No,"

Schneep froze as Marvin stood up, his eyes glowing a vibrant blue as green magic swirled around his hands to to heal his wounds.

"This is only the beginning."
