I haven’t written any jse ego fanfiction for a while, so here’s one! I wrote this story ages ago so I thought I’d post it here. This isn’t going to be a 20 chapter story like One and the Same, it’s just this one short story.
Synopsis: Jack has gone missing, along with Chase’s two kids: Greyson and Sam. It’s up to the other egos to find them, though they don’t exactly find what they’d hoped to…
Enjoy!!
***
The door creaked as it opened, light spilling into the dark room and banishing the darkness. A shadow fell across the floor as a man in a white coat with a surgical mask hanging from his neck peeked round the door. His dark blue eyes surveyed the scene, before turning back and nodding.
Dr Schneeplestein stepped cautiously into the room, followed by a man wearing a grey baseball cap, a man wearing a red spandex suit with a blue mask and a man with a white cat mask and magician’s cape. All four men had the same face: same bushy green hair and blue eyes, although some were looking a lot more confident than others.
“Greyson?! Sam?!” Chase Brody called out, his voice echoing softly off the walls of the room, “Daddy’s here! Where are you?!” The four men waited for a response, but got none.
Schneeple tried next, “Everything’s ok! Ve are not going to hurt you!” Still nothing.
“They’ve got to be here somewhere…” Jackaboy man said, scanning the room.Marvin the Magnificent, who had previously been silently looking round the room at the wooden boxes filled with junk that were scattered all over the place, suddenly saw something on the floor. He picked it up and examined it before saying, “Um…guys?”
Chase and Schneeple turned round to face him, and Chase’s eyes widened at that he saw in Marvin’s hand. It was a small, white teddy bear with a red bow around it’s neck. He jogged over to Marvin and snatched the toy from his hands, examining it himself furiously as if it would give him all the answers he needed.
“I assume that’s…” Jackaboy Man trailed off, lifting his blue mask off his eyes so he could see better in the dark.
“My kids…” Chase finished, hugging the toy close to his chest, “This was-I mean-is Sam’s.” He stayed put for a moment, hugging the toy and trying not to cry. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder.
“Ve vill find them.” Schneeple said gently, “and Jack too. Ve vill get to the bottom of this, I promise.”
Chase nodded, unable to stop the tears from flowing, choked out two words. “I know.”Schneeple turned and started to walk further into the room.
“Jack?!” He called, “It’s us! We’re here to help you, I-“ he was interrupted by a high pitched giggle that suddenly echoed round the room. The four men turned, trying to work out where the noise was coming from, but they couldn’t see anything.
“I don’t think I like the sound of that…” Jackaboy Man whispered, ducking behind Marvin in fear. Schneeple sighed. Some hero you are, he thought.
The giggle resonated again, though this time a voice followed suit.
“W͝҉e҉l͡l͢͞,͏ ́we̶̡͠ĺ̴l͜, ̨̀w̨e͘l̢̕l,̶̷̧” the voice said. Marvin cried out as he saw a face materialise out of the darkness. “It’̛s ̴s̸͞ó ̡n̨̡i̷͞c̴̡e͜ ̨t͠͡o̕̕ ̢͟śe̡͢e͡͠ ̵̛y̵̡̡ơ̶u̵ ҉a̧g͝͏̷a̷̸͘i̧͘n̢̕ ̛m̵̢͡y͟͏̕ ̵͘ó̴͟l̕͟d̛̕̕ ̛͜fr̢i̢e̢͜͠n̴̴d́̀s̨.́͏.̧.” the voice continued. The face suddenly moved forward into the light, and now the men could see that the face was connected to a body wearing a black t-shirt and jeans. The face itself had also become more detailed; it had the same bushy green hair the others had, but the eyes were nothing but black, demonic pools. The front of the neck was cut, and blood was dripping down the neck in neat red lines. the figure was grinning from ear to ear, and every so often the body would jerk and twitch as if it was glitching.
“No…” Schneeple muttered, stepping back and visibly shaking, “it cannot be…”
“O̸̴h ̢͟yé̶͡s,” the voice said as the man stepped fully into view, “I̸̡T̵́ ́C҉AN̨͢͝!”
All four men gasped at the same time as they suddenly recognised the man they were talking to.
“Antisepticeye…” Schneeple growled.
“But…how?” Jackaboy Man stammered, “I…I thought you were-“
“G̸͘o͞n̡e̡͢?” Anti said, his smile widening, “W̸e̵l͟͏͢l,̶̀͞ ̡u̵͡ņ͞f̀͏o̵҉ŕ͡t̡u͘͡n̶͟a̶҉t͟͞è͞l̀͜y̵̴̨ f̸or̡ ̴̧͠ỳ̴͟o̡u̶,͢͠ I ̧n͠ev̧eŗ̧ ̨l͏e̵f̸̕͠t̡. I̕͜’ve͘͞͝ be̸̛e͝͏̵ǹ͜ h͜er̶ę ̨a̧͢͠l҉l̢͝ ̡t̀h̵́͞i҉̨͡s ́t͡i͞m̨e͢͏.̧ ͢͞W̢͝at̡̕ch̛i̷͝n͘͝g.̸̢ ͢Wá̶i̷̧t́i̴҉ng̀.́ ̵͞Pl͠a̛͢n̢ni҉͞nģ̀͞ ͢҉m͟y̕͡-“
“WHERE ARE THEY?!” Chase interrupted, pushing past Schneeple so he was standing face to face with Anti. Anti’s grin widened even more, far past the point that any human smile could reach.
“Oh́, ̡th̶e ͡valia̡n͢t f͢a͠th̢e̶r,̸” he cooed, “coming̴ to s̨a̵ve͢ hi͘s͘ ͢c͝hįldr̨e̴n҉ f̨r͏om ͠t͢hȩ m̢onstèr un͏der ͘t̴h̴e͠ ͞b̡e̡d͟. ͘Do̶n͢’̢t wo͢rr͝y̡, the͜y͝’r̡e her͡e.͜ Bu͠t, ͏I ͝d̀ơn’t ͟t̡hi̛nk͘ ́t̨hȩy’҉ll ̀re͜ally ̶be̛ ͟a̴ble̢ t̶o hear ̢yo̶u҉ ͟anỳmóre͢.”With this, Anti snapped his fingers. A light flickered to life behind him, and to Chase’s horror he saw his two children lying dead on the floor. Their bodies had been mutilated, their stomachs opened and their insides ripped out and tossed all over the floor nearby. Their eyes were wide open in terror, their mouths open in a silent scream. Chase’s eyes widened and his mouth dropped open, then he clenched his jaw and shut his eyes tight as he bowed his head, tears rolling down his cheeks. Schneeple, Marvin and Jackaboy Man could do nothing but stare open mouthed at the horrific scene before them. Jackaboy put a hand over his mouth; he was going to puke. Anti however, was still grinning away, impressed at his handiwork.
Suddenly, Chase rushed at Anti, anger flaring in his eyes.
“I’M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU FOR THIS!” he screamed.
“Chase stop!” Schneeple cried, but he was too late. Anti grabbed Chase with ease and threw him across the room, sending him flying into some boxes. Jackaboy, stood next to Marvin, gasped, and Anti swung round to face them. he swung a punch that hit Marvin square in the face, sending him toppling to the ground. Jackaboy ran forward in a sudden moment of bravery and swung a punch, but Anti caught the fist, winked at Jackaboy, and swung him by the arm over his shoulder and onto the ground. Anti chuckled at how easy it had been to overpower them, when suddenly Schneeple leapt onto Anti’s back with a roar and dug a knife deep into Anti’s shoulder. Anti shut his eyes cried out in pain and anger before opening them again with a smirk and throwing himself backwards, sending Schneeple crashing into the wall behind them. Schneeple let go and Anti staggered forward, coming face to face with Chase once more. Chase was now holding a gun to Anti, his hands shaking in anger and fear, breathing heavily. Anti sighed and pulled the knife out of his shoulder with ease, chuckling as he realised the knife that had stabbed him was his own.
“Ỳ͠͞o̡u̢r͏ ̢p̛o҉̨o͞҉r̀͟͏,̴̛ ͏ś͏w͡͝e͡e̛͜t̕͜ ch̢i̸ld͝r͞͏e͞͡n̷.̢” he mused, turning the knife over in his hands, “Th͘ey ̸wer͠e̴ ̡a ̸ne͢c҉essary ͠s͞áçr̨ífice. ͢Be͝s͞i̷ḑe̡s͝, ̢hòw̷ ҉else҉ ҉wa̵s ͞I po͡ssìbl͟y go̢i͏ng͢ ͞to ģe̕t ál͞l o̕f ͢us͞ h̴er̴e ͟t̕o̕gether?̛”
Chase narrowed his eyes, a stab of pain flashing across his heart when he thought of his kids, his beautiful children, lying dead on the floor just a few feet away. He tried to steady his hands, aiming the gun at Anti’s head.
“Yo̴u ͘̕k̛n̛͏ò͠w̵̶̷,̷̡ ̧C̛ha͝s͢͏ę͠,͠” Anti said, taking a step forward, “y͢o͜u ͏r̴ea͠lly͝ ͟s̢h͝o͢uld be̶ ̶thán͝k͝in̴g͞ me. ̧B̵e̵s͞įd͟es̀,́ I͝ d͠id ̴y̷o̢ú ͝a ̷fav͠o͏r!̧” Anti took another step forward, and out of the corners of his eyes he could see Schneeple struggling to his feet and Jackaboy Man and Marvin watching warily, unsure whether to make a move. “So̢on yǫu͏’̸l̴l ҉b̛e ̡joini͜ng ͠t̛he̷m,̶ ͏a͏n̵d y͠ou’̡ll b͟e̸ ̧r̨eun͘i͢t̀e͟d onc̸e m̢ore̢!͢ Is̵n̵’t̢ t҉ha̴t̷ ̛wha̡t̸ yo̧u’v͝e͢ ͞al̡wa̶ys wąntèd,̛ C҉h̴a̕se͞?” Anti continued, his smile seeming to get wider with every mention of death or killing.Before Chase could answer, Marvin spoke up.
“Wait…” he said, staggering to his feet with the help of Jackaboy, blood running out of his nose, “You said all of us are here. You’re wrong! We’re missing someone!”
“Jack…” Schneeple muttered.
At the sound of Jack’s name, Anti roared and lunged on Chase, who didn’t even have time to pull the trigger before the gun was flying out of his hands and across the floor. Chase struggled as he was pinned to the ground by Anti, but it was no use. Anti leaned forward, forcing Chase to look into his black eyes, and smiled.
“D̴͞͠on̸’̷̵̨t ̨͟w̶̢͠o͡ŕ͜r҉̸ỳ̴,͜͞ k̨i̢͜d͠s.” he said, lifting the knife he was still holding up into he air, giggling as he watched Chase shut his eyes in preparation for death, “D͝A͘̕D̴͜͠͞҉D̵̸͢Y҉̵̴̨’̷̡̀S̢͞ ͡͠C͜͜Ờ̸́͞M̶̸̶͜͟I̴̷N̕͜G̢ TO JOIN YOU!̧̕͠!́͝͞”Before he could stab Chase through the heart, a flash of white light sent Anti flying across the room. Chase sat up and came face to face with Marvin, holding out his wand and breathing heavily. Chase seized this opportunity and scrambled to his feet, running to pick up his gun before Anti could get up. Anti pushed himself up onto his knees, turned, and found a gun barrel pressing into his forehead. To Chase’s surprise, Anti burst out laughing.
“G̢̛͜͢ớ̵͠͠ ̴͟͞͠ơ̸ǹ̴͟͞ ̡̧̀͜t̢ḩ̀͠e͏̢͡n̴̵͘͠͠!̶̀͠” he said, still laughing, “D̡͝҉o̵̡͡ ͜҉̀í́t̛͟͏͝!́҉̡ ̸̢K̸̕͢͢͜i̵͢͞l̀̕l̨̀͘ ̷̧̡̛̕ḿ̴͢͜e͟͢͠!̴̸̧͠”
“With pleasure.” Chase muttered, his finger tightening on the trigger. He was about to pull it when-
“NO! CHASE STOP!” -Schneeple shouted, “Jack is here!”
Chase paused, then turned to face the doctor.
“What?” Was all he could say.
“Vhen Anti was saying that everyone was here, he was right! Jack is here!”
“Really?” Jackaboy Man said, “Well, where is he?”
“He’s Anti!” Schneeple cried, “Vell, he’s inside Anti. Jacksepticeye and Antisepticeye share a body and a mind! They are one and the same! If you kill Anti now,” he continued, turning to Chase, “you kill Jack too.”
The gun didn’t waver.
“Why does that matter?” Chase said through gritted teeth, “He murdered my children.”
“Anti murdered your children.” Schneeple pleaded, “Jack has nothing to do with this. He isn’t in control!” Tears filled Schneeple’s eyes as he strode over and snatched the gun from Chase’s hand.
“Jack is a good friend of mine. He is a good friend to all of us, including you! We nearly lost Jack once and I am NOT going to loose him again OK?!”
Chase paused a moment keeping his eyes on Schneeple. As much as he wanted to rip Anti’s still beating heart out of his chest for murdering his children, what the doctor said made sense. Jack wasn’t to blame for this, even if it was his body doing the killing. He couldn’t kill Anti even if he wanted to; if he did, he’d kill Jack, and Jack didn’t deserve that fate.It was then he noticed something behind Schneeple that made his heart skip a beat. He looked back to where Anti had been a moment earlier, then back to Schneeple in horror.
“Fuck! Dr, LOOK OUT!” Chase screamed. Schneeple turned round just in time for Anti to grab him by the throat and lift him in the air before throwing him to the ground. Schneeple tried to get to his feet, but before he could Anti grabbed him by the throat again and pulled him in close. Chase’s eyes widened when he saw Anti was still holding the knife. Anti pressed his face against Schneeple’s as Chase sprinted forward.
“No! NO!” Chase screamed at the same time as Marvin said, “Chase, no! Get back!”
“Sa̡y h͠e͜llǫ to Chase͘’͡s͠ ҉c̢hil̸dren͏ ͏f͠o̷r̀ h͡im͟.̀” Anti whispered, “T͜ell̸ th͟em͜ ̧d́addy̴ ͞l͢o͡v҉e̢ş tḩe̡m.̴..”Schneeple’s eyes widened when he saw the flash of the metal knife. With one last chuckle, Anti swept the knife across the doctor’s throat.
“NOOOOO!” Chase screamed.
A neat, red line began to form on Schneeple’s throat, bright red liquid pooling out of it. The doctor’s breath caught in his throat as he began to choke on his own blood. Anti let go of the man, and the once good doctor grabbed his throat with both hands, trying to close the wound. Chase, Jackaboy and Marvin rushed forward, but it was too late. As blood trickled down his throat, staining his once pristine white doctor’s coat a dark shade of red, Dr Schneeplestein collapsed to his knees, still tearing at his throat in a desperate attempt to save himself. Chase caught Schneeple but could do nothing but watch as the doctor’s struggles got weaker. His hands slipped from his throat, allowing more blood to ooze out of the wound. A gurgling noise rose from deep in the doctor’s throat and his fingers twitched – one last, desperate attempt to survive – before he went still, his eyes staring blankly up at the ceiling.Silence.
Chase just sat there in horror, staring wide eyed at the lifeless body lying in his arms. Jackaboy man and Marvin just stood there too, jaws hanging open in terror. As the good doctor’s body lay still, unmoving, in Chase’s arms, the only sound in the room was the sound of Anti giggling. The giggles turned into chuckles, which turned into manic laughter. Laughter which bounced off the walls and echoed round the room in a terrifying whirlpool of insanity.
