Traumatized

"N-no. We failed AGAIN" said Gedeon.

"M-mom, I'm so sorry *sobs*" said Clyde as his tears falls down.

This scene was familiar, as they have been through this 25 times now, but still, the sight of their parents' death still haunts them.

"Ah ! Look at that, 4 infinities ! Looks like they have been here for a long time ! *chuckles* Oh, silly me, how could I not notice my dearest foes" said The Lunatic as he slicked back his hair.

"Oh s**t." said Rhydian as she wiped her tears away.

"Now, dying folks, what are you going to do~, will you kill the infinities and become an infinity but will live in risk OR you could just drop dead or be killed. " said The Lunatic grinning.

"Dang it. Run now !" said Mallory grabbing both Rhydian and Clyde's arm. "Gedeon, you too! "

"You guys go first, I'll handle them. " said Gedeon as he took out a shotgun.

"Will you kill them ?!" screamed Rhydian.

"No. I'll just paralyze them, I'm not a psychopath like a certain person. " said Gedeon as he glanced at The Lunatic's hologram.

"Oh my, Gedeon Myst, are you saying I'm a psychopath ? There's nothing wrong though. " said The Lunatic amused by Gedeon's attitude. "You weren't like this. Guess you were quite fed up with this, huh ?"

"Not 'quite', REALLY fed up. " said Gedeon as he filled up the shotgun with drugged bullets.

'Dang it all, let's just k-kill them !'

'B-but he's still human... '

'No ! He's not human, he is immortal'

'Y-YEAH'

'But-'

'They already have infinite lifespan, we need to live too! '

*The Lunatic's thought*

'They really are scared, but I guess, survival mode ? But they are very greedy, I saw some people with the remaining lifespan of huge and small amount of years stabbed to death. Greed really is one of the world's biggest red flag.'

'Hmm, the plans changed last minute, but the quartet adapted quite well. Impressive'

'Looks like being regressed for 25 times did change their mindset.'

Back to Gedeon's situation.

*They are so sloppy, did they really think that beating me up like that would work ?* thought Gedeon.

'Hiya !'

'Take that !'

*gunshot*

*gunshot*

"*pant* *pant* *pant* Great, I escaped. Pretty sure they would stay paralyzed for a few hours" said Gedeon as he wipe his sweat.

" Psst, Gedeon !" whispered Clyde.

"Clyde, are you guys okay ?" whispered Gedeon.

"We're fine, let's go !" whispered Clyde

"Gedeon ! You really are back !" said Rhydian with a relieved sigh.

"Of course, Gedeon's back, since he is Mr. Good At Fighting Greedy People" said Mallory as she sipped her cup of coffee.

"I don't think I ever agreed to be called that." said Gedeon with a slight frown.

"Well you do now. BTW I made beautiful nicknames for my beloved comrades : Clyde as Mr. Steal Your Sister, Rhydian as Ms. Steal Your Cousin, Gedeon as Mr. Good At Fighting Greedy People, and Me, Mallory as Ms. Never Dated Anyone. " said Mallory as she cracked up.

"Steal your cousin ?! Really ?" said Rhydian with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"LOL, a matching name to Mr. Steal Your Sister LMFAO" said Gedeon.

"The two of you really liked making fun of us, don't you ?" said both Clyde and Rhydian in unison.

"OF COURSE" said Gedeon and Mallory.

"Alright, enough joking, how are you guys feeling, after, y'know 'that sight'" said Clyde concerned.

"That sight" was a slang they use to talk about their parents' death. They usually comfort each other, because they have always felt like they were the reason their own parents died.

"It's surprisingly not traumatizing now, but I guess you can say, I'm starting to feel numb ? I-is it normal ? said Mallory.

"Well, same Mallory, I'm pretty sure it's a little normal since we've seen it 25 times now. It's a dangerous amount." said Clyde as he patted his cousin's back.

"Looks like we are all like Mallory" said Gedeon.

A very awkward silence occurred, none of the quartet tried to break the ice, until Rhydian decided to.

"I'm pretty sure we're going to be alright !" said Rhydian awkwardly.

"Of course !" said the others.

The line "I'm pretty sure we're going to be alright !" surely didn't end well in the end.
