Hello there once again! Um, yeah! I'm just gonna upload these as I please because I love to annoy people. Ask anyone I'm friends with irl. Oh wait, actually don't. They cannot find the wattpad! I will not allow it!

'If you wish for Adam and Ty to live, I need two more by the next moon rise. If two more are not given over to my shadow soldiers, I'll kill them. Too bad he remembered me -King Squid'
Brice read this and panicked. "Shit! Please tell me this is a joke!" He begged, awaking Seto. Seto read it and tears form in his eyes, but then he became a rock. The pleasant aura that surrounded the boy now suffocated Brice. "Seto. Calm down. Where are you going?" Brice begged as both of them threw on their shirts.
"I'm getting back my brother. Even if I have to kill every single squid in this universe." Seto coldly spoke. Brice grabbed his wrist but Seto burned his hand off.
"Seto! We'll get him! I promise! Notch d*mn it Seto! Listen to me!" Brice said as he grabbed Seto again. This time burning Seto's skin. Seto stopped, tears in his eyes.
"They can't kill him Brice. He's all the family I know." Seto was sobbing into Brice. Brice barely heard the curse from upstairs. Followed by another and then two words that scared him.
"Jason. Please." Tyler's voice seemed to squeak. Seto heard these too, and Brice ran up the stairs to see Jason was holding Tyler against the wall by his now red wrists. Tyler was waiting to get slapped, and the hand print on his face seemed to give him perfect reason to. Brice automatically got Jason off as Tyler fell into Seto's arms.
"They took him Brice! Father promised they wouldn't touch us once we were gone! Who knows who else has lied?!"
"Calm down Ja-"
"I'm not going to calm down Brice!"
"Then you leave me not choice."
"No choice?! What are you....?" He trailed off as Brice put a sleeping potion on him.
"He- he slapped me. W-what did I do?" Tyler sobbed and stuttered.
"Sh. Nothing. Ty and Adam got kidnapped. He's just confused. All of us are."
"T-Ty's gone?" Tyler stuttered.
"Y-yeah. Ty's g-" Seto began to cry as well. This woke up Jerome. He had been listening with his eyes closed. Had it all been a nightmare? It sounded like a nightmare when he walked out to look at the scene. He would wake up soon, right? Mitch pulled Jerome into a hug and rubbed his back. The Bacca was so lost, nothing registering. Eventually, Brice got Jason onto a bed and magic-proofed the room. He couldn't get out and no one could get in.
"Alright. So according to the note, two have to be turned over to the 'shadow soldiers' by next moonrise. I don't know exactly what to do." Brice said as he collapsed onto the ground. Mitch and Jerome shared the same glance. They both knew what to do.
"Mitch and I'll go."
"Ty?" Adam groggily asked. He never remembered getting back in bed. Because he wasn't. Before him sat a frog hybrid.
"No. I'm Kermit. Friendship?" He asked as he put out his hand.
"I'm Adam." Adam cautiously said as he shook the boy's hand.
"Ha! Told you he'd shake my hand Bridget!"
"Oh shut up you frog. Hey. I'm Bridget. I'll take it the boy in my cell is Ty then?"
"Long black hair over one eye?" He asked. Bridget nodded. "Then yep. That's Ty." Adam's voice sighed over his name. Hearing Adam say his name awoke Ty.
"Adam?"
"He's over there hun." Bridget pointed to the cell across the way. "He's with my, friend, Kermit." Her voice struggled with the word friend. "My name's Bridget."
"Ty. And same." Ty replied.
"Same what?"
"Same confusing point where you don't know exactly what to call them." Ty sighed. Bridget nodded as they both stared across the hallway to where the one they love sat.
"Hey Bridget, wanna hear a joke?" A voice asked.
"Bash, your jokes suck." A Bulgarian accent replied.
"I wasn't talking to you Bodil."
"Too bad Bashur."
"Well Ty, the feuding 'couple' over there are Bashur and Bodil. You two, my new cell mate, Ty." She put air quotation marks around couple. Ty laughed at the faces she made trying to describe them. From kissing hands to the international sign for crazy, it was hilarious.
"We know you're making faces Bridge. We're not dumb." Bashur told her.
"I don't know what you are talking about Bashur." She said, dragging out every word. Bodil laughed. "Why are you so mean to my boyfriend?" Bodil asked giggling. Bashur shot him a death glare.
"He's mean to me. Are you hearing this Quentin?" Bridget asked.
"Yeah. I am." Quentin mumbled. Ty felt bad for the boy. "So your cell mate's Ty and Adam's with Kermit?" Quentin asked.
"Yeah. Thanks for fancying me." Bridget replied. "Quentin was kidnapped from his boyfriend. Until he brings the squids all the DF's, Quentin has to stay here. Why are you here?"
"I think me and Adam are two of your DF's." Ty groaned. Now he was going to feel bad when they escaped.
"Are you sure you two are okay with this?"
"We don't have much of a choice Brice." Mitch replied. "They need two of us. So they'll have two of us. Your job is to make sure that you'll get us out." Then Mitch turned to Jerome. "You ready dude?"
"Yep." Jerome said as he whispered something to Tyler before following Mitch. "Did you hear me last night? When I called you Biggums?" Jerome asked him. Mitch shook his head yes.
"What does it mean?"
"Biggums usually means a really close friend or in some instances, um... A Bacca will use it for their mate." Jerome's words got quieter as her got closer to the word he was afraid Mitch would hate him for.
"Which way did you mean it Jerome?" Mitch asked the nervous boy.
"Um. The, uh... Second way." Jerome said, scratching the back of his head. Mitch spun Jerome towards him and without wasting any time connected their lips. The kiss lasted as long as they could hold their breaths for.
"Notch. I love you Mitch."
"I love you too, Biggums." Mitch tried the word and loved it already. They were suddenly surrounded by the shadows and they both held up their hands.
"I pity couplesss. Grab them boysss." Ssundee hissed. The two were surrounded and knocked out.
"Oh notch Tyler. I just had the worst-" Jason noticed Tyler wasn't there, "nightmare. What the? Was it real? Wait. Did I hurt Tyler?!" Jason tried to open the door and got zapped. He collapsed on the floor in a crying mess. "I did. I smacked Tyler. I hurt Tyler. I can't believe I-" he stopped talking to sob. "I would let myself lose my temper. Notch. I'm just like Father. You hurt the ones you love in a dazed faze, when you can't control yourself. Tyler probably hates me!"
"I'm not mad at him! Can't I please just see him?" Tyler asked. He was a mess. Ty and Jerome were both gone, and Brice wouldn't let him see Jason.
"Fine. But if something happens-"
"Thank you so much!!!" Tyler yelled as he quickly hugged Brice and dragged him towards his door. Tyler heard crying from inside and got scared. He opened the door as soon as Brice let him. "J-Jason?"
"Oh Tyler! I'm so so so sorry. It just something that happens with stress. I couldn't control myself at all. I'm so sorry!" Jason cried into his soldier. Tyler was laughing and crying at the same time.
"I'm not mad Jason. Notch. I need you so much right now. Jerome and Mitch went to please his demands. I'm so scared." Tyler's voice cracked and Jason held him tighter.
"It's okay. Sh. I'm still here." Jason cooed through his tears to calm down Tyler. Seto and Brice left the two alone and went to cuddle on the couch.
"What are we gonna do Brice?" Seto shakily asked.
"I don't know Seto. I don't know."
"You have two more. Great Ian. Only 4 remain. I want two each night. Or I'll kill Quentin. And I'll enjoy it." The squid spit at his face.
"Yesss your majessty." Ian quickly slithered away, there was only one thing he could do now.
"Ugh. Everyone alive?" Bridget.
"I'm in one cell." Quentin spoke.
"Me and Ty are in another." Adam replied.
"I'm with you." Kermit spoke.
"Bodil and Bash?"
"We're here. And in the same cell! But Bash is still sleeping."
"Adam? Ty? Notch. This is worse than any hangover I've had. Jeb."
"Mitch?! How'd they get you?" Adam asked.
"Now I feel left out."
"They got you too Jerome?" Ty asked.
"Nope. They couldn't get a Bacca unless he was willing."
"In other words, it was two more of us come or they'd kill you two." Mitch said. Then he heard Jerome growl. "What's wrong Biggums?" Ty looked at Mitch as if he'd gone crazy. Did he know what Biggums means?
"My head. It's-" Jerome fell back into Mitch's lap.
"He's hot." Adam glanced at him with a look that said 'is this the time?' "Temperature wise you dimwit." Mitch explained. The Bacca started shifting and turning in his sleep. "Biggums. Biggums wake up. Biggums." Mitch begged. Jerome shot up and moved away from him.
"Who are you?! And who taught you that?!"
"Jerome. What's wrong?"
"Who. Are. You." Jerome repeated.
"That's Mitch, Jerome." Ty told him.
"Who taught him the word Biggums?" Jerome asked him.
"You did." Mitch told him.
"I don't even know you! How could I have taught you something like THAT?!" Jerome yelled. He backed away from Mitch like he had tried to stab him. Just then, Ty began to clench his head.
"No no no. Not you too Ty. Come on. Ty. Please don't do this."
"Let me go! Get out of my head!" Ty yelled. Bridget seemed to panic.
"Adam. Adam listen. You have to distract him. Something that distracts every part of him." Bridget explains.
"Ty." Adam softly cooed. Ty looked and him and let their lips collide. Seeing the stranger kiss his friend, Jerome was sent into a flashback.

"Did you hear me last night? When I called you Biggums?" Jerome asked him. Mitch shook his head yes.
"What does it mean?"
"Biggums usually means a really close friend or in some instances, um... A Bacca will use it for their mate." Jerome's words got quieter as her got closer to the word he was afraid Mitch would hate him for.
"Which way did you mean it Jerome?" Mitch asked the nervous boy.
"Um. The, uh... Second way." Jerome said, scratching the back of his head. Mitch spun Jerome towards him and without wasting any time connected their lips. The kiss lasted as long as they could hold their breaths for.
"Notch. I love you Mitch."
~~~~~
Jerome held his head in his hands and growled. He knew the stranger across from him? And kissed him? Mitch almost crawled toward the Bacca, but he didn't know him. He didn't remember their kiss. It was almost as if it wasn't Jerome. He didn't want this to be real. Wanted his Jerome back.
"Adam?" Ty asked. Adam was supporting himself with one arm on the opposite side of Ty and the other behind his head. Ty was lying on the ground, the pain in his head gone.
"It worked." Adam sighed as he leaned down and gave Ty Eskimo kisses (that's the one where they rub noses). "I almost lost ya, babe." Adam said, winking at Ty. It sounded beautiful as it slid from Adam's mouth. Ty pulled Adam down for another kiss, loving the taste of his lips.

"How have we not found anything!" Tyler yelled as he flipped through another book in the library.
"F*ck! Tyler! They took my spell book!" Seto yelled as he started pulling books off his shelves. "I had some dangerous spells in that. F*ck! F*ck, F*ck, F*ck, F*ck! I had my memory erasing potion in that. No no no!" Seto began to curse in another language. Brice walked in to the panicking sorcerer. "I'm so stupid Brice! The squids stole my Spell Book! With my memory erasing spell!" And Seto went right back to cursing in Latin and Runes. Brice tried to calm him down as Tyler reached for another book. As he opened it, out fell a note.
"Seto. S-Seto. Come here." Tyler stuttered as he handed him the note.
'Seto, I'll take the squids have kidnapped Ty, and that's why he wasn't with you. I visited yesterday and watched some of your friends offer themselves to the squids. I know this'll sound crazy, but you and Jason have to go together. Tonight. I can only help you if you do this. And you have to act like you're a couple. I'm sorry, it's for the best. Hope to see you soon son. -Your Father'. Seto handed it to Jason who went pale. And then it got handed to Brice. Brice seemed to be pissed.
"Are you going to do this Seto? Are you going through with this?"
"I don't think we-"
"It could be a trap! It-"
"It's our only lead Brice! All we have! Why would he want squids to be in rule?"
"How do we know it's actually your father's handwriting? Not a squids?"
"These Brice." Tyler said as he handed over the letters. All recently dated. Most from before the squid problem. Brice glared at them before giving them all to Seto. "I'm against this just as much as-"
"Obviously not Tyler! You're helping them!"
"I'm doing what's best. It doesn't matter how much it hurts. I trust Seto's judgment. And you're his boyfriend. You're supposed to support him."
"And let him walk into the line of fire?!"
"If that's what it takes, then yes." Tyler sighed. Brice growled and ran up to Seto's room. Tyler gave Jason a kiss goodbye as Seto went to talk to Brice.
"Brice. I'm going. I just, wanted to know. If I could maybe, just maybe, kiss you once before I go?" Seto asked and waited for the silence to be broken. Each second of silence broke his heart more. "Never mind. It was stupid, I know. But, we never got a first kiss. So... screw it. I'm grasping at straws. I'm sorry to have bothered you Brice." Seto said as he got up. He tried to hide the feeling that made him what to scream and burst into tears. The door opened behind Seto and he was pulled into a deep, passionate kiss. Seto kissed back with just as much passion and love. The two had to contain the need to release their standing magic. They made a fireball between their hands that helped release some tension. They destroyed it as they broke the kiss.
"I love you Seto."
"I love you too Brice." Seto took off his mother's amulet. He carefully hung it on Brice's neck. "Keep it safe for me, okay Brice?"
"Of course Seto. I love you. Goodbye."
"Love you too. I'll see you again Brice. I promise."
"I'll be back."
"Pinkie swear?" Tyler asked as he put out his pinkie.
"Pinkie swear." Jason replied as they hooked pinkie. Tyler laughed and let a tear slip. Jason wiped the tear and him and Seto walked out. They waited until they had to hold hands. They carried on small talk, sometimes Jason would kiss Seto's hand. He felt his stomach twisting from a feeling of guilt. But it was for the best. As Jason whispered "They're here" in Seto's ear, Seto leaned up and kissed Jason's cheek, before whispering "You too" back.
"Grab them. Quickly. Bosss is getting impatient." Ian hissed as the two were surrounded.
