Hi everyone!! Welcome to chapter 2! Before we begin, I need to make some announcements:
1) I’ve made a tag on here for all these chapters and anything else related to this little AU we’ve created. It’s #One and The Same Jacksepticeye Anne egos AU. It’s sooo long whoops XD. Anyway, like I said it should help keep everything together.
2) As well as publishing this story on here, I’m also going to publish this on Wattpad. The Wattpad version will be exactly the same apart from the fact that it will have each character’s file at the start of every chapter. It’ll be an easier way for me to keep everything together. Check out the Wattpad version here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/120038588-one-and-the-same-a-jacksepticeye-and-egos-au-story
3) Robbie is now a part of the story!! He’s a very new ego so I don’t really have much to go off of with him, but I’ve tried to create an interesting character out of him. I’ve updated the original post and made a file for him too!
And that’s it! I hope you enjoy chapter 2 and I’ll see you in chapter 3! I want to try and publish a chapter every day, though I may have to move updates to every other day if it doesn’t work out.

Chapter 2 – Making Friends
For the second time that day, Jack woke to the sound of screaming.
He slowly regained control of his body, his vision returning, his arms and legs obeying him and not some unseen force once more. He shut his eyes and shook his head to clear his mind and when he opened them again, his scream joined the chorus already crying out.
The scientists that had attacked them were now nothing more than bloody messes, their white coats stained a permanent shade of red. Arms and legs were scattered all over the room, nothing more than large meaty chunks in the sea of blood. Some of the scientists were still alive, their screams of agony being the sound that brought Jack back to his body.
They were begging for death.
It was then Jack noticed his arms, shirt and legs were completely coated in blood too. His entire body ached. Schneeple and Jackaboy stood completely still, stunned, staring Jack dead in the eyes. Jack stared back at then, completely numb. “Jack…?” Jackaboy said in a small voice. Jack looked at him. “Oh fuck…” was all he could say, “Oh god…what did he do…?” “Zhere’s no time to worry about zhat,” Schneeple said, trying to hide how much his voice was shaking, “Ve need to leave. Marvin and Chase vill be vonderig where we are.” With that, the three of them left in silence, leaving the screaming scientists behind.
Jack was silent as they left. He was shaking badly and could barely run, but his mind was racing. Anti…he thought, What the fuck did you do?! Why? Anti replied, Are you not happy with my handiwork? “Happy?!” Jack shouted out loud, making Schneeple and Jackaboy jump, “You fucking slaughtered them!!” “Jack…?” Schneeple asked. Jack ignored him. I did what the rest of you should have done this entire time! Anti snapped, They had it all coming to them! If I didn’t do it, someone else would’ve! You should be thanking me!
“There you are! Where the hell have you been?!” A voice brought Jack out of his conversation with Anti. He looked up to see Chase Brody and Marvin the Magician standing outside. Marvin was slumped in Chase’s arms and didn’t appear to be moving. The white cat mask he insisted on wearing covered his face so jack couldn’t see if he was conscious. In Chase’s other hand was a bundle of brown folders. “Marvin!” Schneeple cried, sprinting over to Chase. Jack and Jackaboy gave each other concerned looks before following. “He’s ok,” Chase said, looking at the doctor though his grey and red cap, as he checked over Marvin, “We ran into some trouble and he had to use his powers. It drained him almost instantly.” He then narrowed his eyes at Jackaboy and Jack, “But you didn’t answer my question. Where the hell were you?!” He looked Jack up and down, “And why are you covered in blood?!” “We ran into some problems too.” Jack said at the same time as Jackaboy said, “Jack thought it would be a good idea to free Anti.” “Wait, what?!” Chase said, staring straight at Jack, “Why would you do that?! Do you want to get all of us killed?!” “No! It was just…” Jack replied, “…well, he’s one of us! He deserves to escape that hell-hole as much as the rest of us. Not even Anti deserves the punishment the scientists would give him if he stayed there.” “You’re an idiot Jack.” Chase said with narrowed eyes, “Alright…where is he?” Jack tapped the side of his head, “In here.” “Wow…ok I’ll say it again. You’re an idiot Jack.” “I know…”
“Um…I know you’re having a nice conversation and everything…” Jackaboy said nervously, hopping from side to side, “But can we get away from here? They’ll catch up to us in a minute if we don’t move-“ “Wait!” Everyone turned at the sound of another voice. In the distance, they could see a figure stumbling towards them. It was extremely skinny, with pale grey skin and white eyes with no pupils, and wore a stripped white and black shirt that appeared to be ripped in places. “Wait a second…” Jack said, realisation dawning on him, “that’s…” My first ever puppet…Anti finished. Jack could tell he was smiling as he said that.
The figure caught up with them and stopped, wheezing with exhaustion. “Don’t…go!” He said in-between gasps for air, “Don’t…leave…Robbie…” “Wait, I know you!” Chase said, leaving Jackaboy to hold up Marvin and striding over to the newcomer, “You’re the Clone that went haywire! You tried to kill us!” “No, no! Robbie did nothing!” The newcomer replied in a raspy voice, staggering back, and crouching on the ground like a scared animal, “Robbie wasn’t in control! Robbie didn’t mean-” “I don’t care for your bullshit, zombie boy!” Chase snapped, leaning close to Robbie, “You’re dangerous. You’re a killer!” “And no one else here is?” Anti replied, taking over Jack’s body with ease and turning his once blue eyes a deep black, “Seriously, with me around, that’s a pretty weak argument. What do you have against him?” “You…” Chase snarled, “Why are you getting involved? You claim to be a killer but you’ve never murdered a single person in your entire life! Zombie boy over here has! He took out an entire room of scientists and then went on a rampage! We all nearly died in that hell hole because of him!” “He didn’t murder those assholes,” Anti snarled, “That was me.” Chase stopped dead, “W-what?!” “Clearly you missed the news that day.” Anti continued, “The same day Robbie here destroyed half the lab was the same day they discovered me! Don’t you think that’s a little strange?” “I..never really thought about…wait…so that was you?!” Chase said, “The killings were all your doing?” “Uh-huh,” Anti replied with a smile, “I simply…borrowed Robbie’s body for a little while after he was created and presented my feelings towards those dicks very clearly. Some of my finest work, I must say…” “So what part of Jack’s conscience are you supposed to be then?” Chase asked, “Schneeple’s the helping people, I’m the fatherly-figure, Marvin’s the entertainer, Jackaboy’s the superhero dreams and Anti’s the inner demons. So what are you? The part that makes Jack only have a shower every three weeks?” Robbie whimpered before replying. “Scientists never said. They never had time to give Robbie a role before the demon got him.” “Demon?” Anti said, raising one of Jack’s eyebrows, “You flatter me.”
“But…he died after the incident.” Jackaboy said, looking Robbie up and down, “Didn’t he? The scientists pronounced him dead and threw his body in the dump outside. So how are you…here?” Robbie shrugged. “Robbie don’t know,” he replied, “Robbie woke to screaming and fighting. He was scared, so he hid in the dump. Then he saw you running away and he knew he had to join them! Please! Please don’t leave Robbie alone!” “We won’t,” Jack said, finally regaining control of his body. Once his legs started obeying him again, he walked over to Robbie and ruffled his hair. Robbie purred in satisfaction. “You’re safe with us now.” “Are you sure zhat’s a good idea?” Schneeple asked, examining Robbie with his eyes, much like Jackaboy had done, “He has attacked us once before. He might do it again.” “He didn’t do anything.” Jack replied, “It was all Anti. And now Anti’s stuck in here,” he said, pointing to his head, “I don’t think he can do any harm to any of us anymore.” “Fine.” Chase muttered, walking back over to help Jackaboy carry Marvin, “Let’s go before anyone else shows up.” “Good idea.” Schneeple agreed, “Jack, do you know vhere ve are?” “Um…” Jack said, looking around, “I…I don’t know…”
“I stole these.” Chase spoke up, handing Jack the folders as he and Jackaboy began to carry the unconscious Marvin, “Maybe they’ll help.” Jack took the folders and opened the first one on the pile as they started to walk away from the lab. His heart skipped a beat when he was met with a picture of himself and his name in the ‘Experiment Name’ box. Wow, Anti said in Jack’s mind, Of all the pictures they could have chosen of you, they chose that one? “Shut up.” Jack muttered. “What?” Chase asked. “Anti.” Jack replied simply. “Oh..ok.”
Jack scanned the writing on the folder until he found the box he was looking for. Under the title ‘Intex Branch’ were the words ‘London, England’. “London…” Jack muttered. “Vhat?” Schneeale asked. “We’re in London!” Jack said louder. Everyone stared blankly at him. “That…means nothing to you, does it?” Everyone shook their heads. Jack sighed and said, “It’s the capital of England. It’s not that far from where I live in Brighton. Well, I mean, it is quite far, we can’t walk there, but at least we’re not in Spain or somewhere like that!” “So this…Brighton…” Chase said slowly, “Is it safe? Or will the scientists find us there?” “Well…” Jack replied, “At first I thought they wouldn’t, but now I think about it, that’ll probably be the first place they’ll look for us. But we have some time to get away. It’ll take them a good few days to recuperate after that destruction of their entire computer systems and the murder of most of their employees. Plus,” Jack continued, shutting the folder, “there are a lot of people back home who will be worried about me, so I need to tell everyone I’m ok.” “Sounds like a plan.” Schneeple said, taking the folders from Jack and sifting through them. “But since it seems you’ll all be living with me now,” Jack said in a stern voice, “I have one rule to make.” “Alright mum,” Jackaboy chuckled. The mention of ‘mum’ made Chase tense up. He was very touchy about any mention of family. “Name it.” “You must all stay hidden. I’m a youtuber, so I have a lot of people watching me at all times, so I can’t have you all running round in the background of my videos or people will start asking questions and it might end up alerting the scientists. You won’t be allowed in my office when I’m filming a video or talking to people on Skype. None of you will be allowed to answer the door, and no one will be allowed outside the apartment without me. I hate giving orders, but it’s now my responsibility to keep you all safe. If you follow these rules, you’ll have free reign of pretty much anything in my house to entertain yourselves with. Sound fair?” Everyone agreed, although Jackaboy took this opportunity to call Jack ‘mum’ once again which made Chase nearly hit him. Jackaboy escaped by flying into the air and spending the rest of the journey flying above them, leaving Chase and Robbie to struggle with Marvin who was now coming to. “So how are we going to get to this Brighton place?” Chase asked. “We’re gonna have to catch the train.” Jack replied, “I don’t own a car and the bus is way too slow.” “Ok…” Chase said, having no idea what a train, car or bus were. He then turned to Marvin and began to explain everything, who had gotten the fright of his life when he came face to face with Robbie. “We’re going to be fine!” Jack said, smiling for the first time that day and trying to sound encouraging, “Just follow me, do as I say, and we’ll be home and safe in no time! And then…oh my god! Robin! I can finally talk to him again! And the community!“ His smile faded, “Oh god, everyone will be so worried! I’ve been missing for a whole month!” “You’ll be fine.” Schneeple said, putting a hand on Jack’s shoulder, “But vhat are you going to tell everyvone? Are you going to tell the truth?” “No way.” Jack replied, “That’s too risky. Besides, no one would believe me. I’m going to have to tell the truth about the kidnapping but…” Pushing those thoughts aside, he smiled again, “I’ll think about that when we get home. For now, let’s concentrate on getting there first.” With this, Jack looked up and saw the sign for the London Underground. This is going to be interesting…Anti said. For the first time since having Anti enter his mind, Jack agreed with him.
