A Secret Meeting

[Dr. Insano]

(OCC: Totally fine with this arrangment. This is a far better idea and easier idea than a seperate thread. Right after this post you can do the time skip where penny and patch entice Seven of Eleven and rodney first or something like that)

Patch turned to Penny and nodded in agreement and smiled when Insuedo confirmed the plan they were setting, and including that Seven of Eleven along with rodney would both be taken to be debrainwashed. Patch smiled even more when Penny said that waiting was a good idea. Now that Virus stated to try this idea out he wagged his tail and responded "I'm with virus! Let's do it when we still can! They'll not suspect it now!"
XXXX

Insano turned to Insuedo and nodded "Then we will be quick on a escape. Chuckles' magic once we're ready for rebellion should try to get those chains off you and we'll get any weapon we can to leave. As for the plan we have for the robots, Patch and Penny are the easy bait and the ones that debrainwash them obviously are Virus, Seven you and I Insuedo. I think we have things in order" He then turned to Virus and nodded firmly "Yes. I think that is a excellient idea. We can do it while they're busy with themselves like right now. Seven and Chuckles, get the puppies ready. I think we should get working if we have any chance of leaving this hellhole"
XXXX

Seven turned to Insuedo, glad he agreed with her then saw Chuckles see to try and free him and said he would when they had the idea to leave. Then virus made a suggestion to do it now, with Insano passionately agreeing. She turned to Chuckles and said with a hint of nervousness "I think we can try. Better to try now than to try at the last minute. Let us grab the puppies and get started" She went over to Penny and Patch and proceeded to whisper to them to be careful and such.

[Penny]

Penny nods.

"Let's start with Seven and Rodney. If we get the two of them they can help us get Dark Heart and the others. Plus it'll be hard to separate them anyway." said Penny.

She paused turning to them and paused.

"Can you be careful? After the meeting last night Dark Heart came back and she looked hurt. She wouldn't tell me what happened. I'm worried about her." said Penny.

XXXX

Insuedo paused looking confused.

"We'll be careful Penny. I left the meeting before she did so I don't know what happened afterward. But I think you were there Seven. Right?" said Insuedo.

XXXX

Virus frowned when Penny mentioned Dark Heart was hurt.

"She's hurt? Who hurt her? I'll fry them until there's nothing left but ashes." said Virus.

He stormed to the door only to be trapped in a yellow energy bubble. He glared turning around to face Chuckles and the others.z

"Let me out!" said Virus.

XXXX

Chuckles listened shocked at the news Dark Heart was hurt. Like Virus, Insuedo, and Penny he'd left before Dark Heart so he had no idea what happened at the meeting. When Virus started to the door Chuckles stopped him by trapping him a yellow energy bubble.

"No. You'll blow our whole plan and then we'll never get Dark Heart and the others free. Calm down!" said Chuckles.

He paused turning to Insano.

I think you should go with the puppies. I have to keep the barrier up here and keep an eye on Virus." said Chuckles.

- Time Skip -

Penny was now walking out with Patch and Insano. Virus had been freed after he calmed down but she didn't blame him. She was also mad at the thought of Dark Heart being hurt. But they had to start on their first mission getting Rodney and Seven of Eleven. She began looking for them and spotted the pair in the living room. She turned to Patch with a grin. Now they just had to lure them back to the room.

"Any ideas?" whispered Penny.

XXXX

A few feet away Seven sat next to Rodney unaware of the plotting going on behind her. She was just upset about Mechakara being frozen and her sister being hurt. She'd didn't sleep being a robot but she was still nervously waiting for the morning. But morning had come and Mechakara was still frozen. She was beginning to wonder if Malachite was extending his punishment. She just looked at Rodney sadly and hugged him.

"It's morning. Mechakara should be thawed out. I hate seeing my father like a popsicle. And my poor sister's hurt. We need to do something." said Seven.

[Patch]

Patch smiled. The plan was set. Things were going to work out for the brainwashed victims and everything would be... Wait. DarkHeart was hurt. Things at the meeting didn't go well. Patch then pondered and responded "Yeah, she just went with Penny and was really upset and seemed to be limping. I didn't see her much since I was looking for mechakara. I haven't seen him since the meeting" He then turned to Seven of Nine and gasped "What?! They froze him! Oh my god!" He turned to Insuedo and responded "You gotta unfreeze him or something! You have a heat thing don't you? Anything!" He then saw Virus freak out in outrage over darkheart and patch didn't blame him. But then he was taken with penny by insano to go get Rodney and Seven of Eleven.
XXXX

Insano listened hurt that DarkHeart got injured and whatnot. He turned to see Chuckles quickly imprison Virus due to the electrical person get angry. He understood how virus felt but this would ruin the plan all together and make things worse. He turned to thank Chuckles before the lantern commanded him to get the pups out. And despite patch talking to insuedo he took patch and penny away, he turned to Insuedo as Seven of Nine confirmed DarkHeart being hurt as well as mechakara being frozen. He responded softly "My dearest. We need to free Mechakara with those heat rays we've been working on or something. One thing at a time though. First Seven of Eleven and Rodney, then DarkHeart and mechakara" He walked out instantly.
XXXXX

Seven of Nine cringed. She knew Penny was close to DarkHeart so of course she would know if DarkHeart was hurt. Then Insuedo turned to her and responded about the meeting and she sighed sadly "It was atrocious when you left. Mechakara simply defended DarkHeart because Facilier vilely insulted her and they froze him as punishment while they did.. some magic torture on DarkHeart" She tried her best not to cry but she was worried sick about her beloved. She turned to patch who ran to Insuedo while Virus ran off angerily before Chuckles stopped him. Patch asked/begged to unfreeze Mechakara or something down that line before being taken away by Insano. She saw the scientist whisper to the chained one before walking off with them.

*Time Skip*

Seven of Nine was with Insuedo talking on how to fix mechakara and help Virus calm down. Insano and Patch meanwhile were looked/observing seven of eleven and rodney. Penny then asked them how to get them to come and while Insano thought hard about it, Patch responded "Maybe we can say we want a private chat with them about how the meeting went and how we can cheer them up? Maybe they'll agree to talk about a plan to fix these punishments and that'll be our hook?"
XXXXX

Rodney was upset for Seven of eleven. Mechakara should've been freed by this point. It was morning. They said it would only be for the night. Maybe Malachite changed his mind. Rodney shook his head, not wanting to think about something like that. He hugged Seven tightly and said with a hurt tone "I am so sorry Seven. This isn't fair at all. We do need to do something. Perhaps it is high time we talk to the others, my master and Seven of Nine about this. There must be a way to undo the punishments bestowed upon your father"

[Seven of Eleven]

Meeting Room:

Insuedo worked with Seven of Nine and Virus to get ready. Chuckles was busy keeping the barrier up. They didn't want to risk being seen until it was too late. If things went as planned they'd have their entire group back.

XXXX

Living Room:

Penny looked from Patch to Insano curiously listening to them.

"We should have planned this better. I guess we'll just have to hope for the best." whispered Penny.

She wondered what to do. She just sat and listened to them talk.

XXXX

Seven Of Eleven looked at him and smiled.

"I don't know. They froze my father and hurt my sister. I don't want them to hurt anyone else. They are our leaders after all." said Seven of Eleven.

She paused clutching her head in pain.

"Wait why am I saying this? They hurt my family. Maybe we were better off at Ask That Guy's army." said Seven.

She paused trying to think of when Facilier, Rita, or Malachite approached her to join.

"That's funny. I can't even remember when they asked me to join them. Why can't I remember? And why does my head hurt so much?" said Seven.

[Seven Of Nine]

(OCC: If this isn't ok let me know)

Seven of Nine helped the other three get ready for their plan. She sincerely hoped it worked. She didn't want it to fail. She wanted to escape and go home to ATG with her love and get the others out of here safely.
XXXXX

"Ok, I agree with what your brother suggested. You and your brother just say you want to talk about what happened at the meeting in private. Lead them to the room then and we'll go on with the plan" Insano said, he then saw the two robots talking. He then whispered to the pups "I think it is high time we talk to them while they're still in doubt. The both of you go and take them upstairs. The minute you guys are in the room I will go behind you all quietly and be sure to lock the door. On my signal you go" He then saw Patch and Penny go to the robots and talk. He stuck in hiding and hoped to the heavens that their plan would work. He didn't want to fail. He then whispered softly to them after a short while "Alright. Now go!"
XXXX

Patch nodded at Insano's plan. He listened a little while longer. He couldn't help but listen to the conversation. He grinned hearing Seven of Eleven felt pain in her head, that was a sign that things weren't right and that maybe the spell was wearing off. He listened to Rodney also recall not having to talk with rita, facilier and malachite about being here. Eventually Insano told them to go and Patch responded to Penny "Alrightie sis, let's get cracking" He then walked over to the couch and sat down near the robots and responded "Heya Seven and Rodney. What's up?"
XXXXX

Rodney nodded "Indeed. They hurt us. Why?" He then looked shocked as Seven of eleven clutched her head in pain. Concerned, he put his hand over her cheek and responded "Seven? Are you alright?" He then listened to her and responded that maybe they were better off at Ask Thatguy's. He pondered and his systems indicated that she was wrong but something in his heart said she was right. She then said that seven didn't remember being asked to join this army and wanted to know why she couldn't remember and why her head was hurting. Rodney assured her calmly "I do not know either. Perhaps we should go meet insano. He might know what to do. I cannot remember either of when Insano was asked by Facilier to join. Perhaps... Perhaps you were never asked" Suddenly Patch and his sister came up to them. Rodney smiled sadly and responded "Alas dear little ones, seven and I are having a important discussion. Things went terribly at the meeting"

[Yellow Lantern Chuckles]

Penny nodded.

"Alright. But let's be careful." said Penny.

She followed Patch out to the others.

"Hi Seven. Hi Rodney." said Penny.

She listened to Rodney speak and looked sadly.

"I know. Dark Heart came home hurt last night. She wouldn't talk about what happened." said Penny.

XXXX

Seven looked sadly down at the puppies. She was grateful they weren't around to witness what had happened.

"It was awful. They decided to punish Dark Heart. We tried to stand up to her and Mechakara even threatened them. Malachite froze him into a block of ice. Dark Heart was punished anyway. We pleaded for mercy and Facilier eventually stopped." said Seven.

She burst into tears.

"Father's still frozen and my poor sister's hurt. All because I spoke up. I shouldn't have said anything at the meeting." said Seven.

XXXX

Penny walked over to her.

"No. It's not your fault. Facilier, Rita, and Malachite are the ones to blame. They're mean. After all we're supposed to be working for them and they hurt Mechakara and Dark Heart. That's not right." said Penny.

XXXX

Meanwhile Insuedo, Chuckles, and Virus were busy helping Seven of Nine get preparations ready for Seven of Eleven & Rodney's trip to their room.

"I hope this goes smoothly. The last thing we need is to draw attention to ourselves." said Insuedo.

Virus looked at him trying to hide his nervousness.

"I'm sure things will be fine." said Virus.

Chuckles nodded.

[Dr. Insano]

While Insano was watching, he felt hurt at the very look of Seven of Eleven crying. It made the scientist hate them all the more. He hoped this would go smoothly. He didn't want to fail. He wanted this to be as quick and easy as possible
XXXXX

Patch was hurt that DarkHeart was hurt and that seven of eleven was emotionally distressed. His concern increased when Seven of eleven started sobbing. Patch then widened his eyes in horror at the realization that Mechakara was frozen solid. The very thought that his master was trapped in a block of ice shocked him. "Mechakara! Really? Oh god" He responded. Patch nodded to when Penny helped Seven realize this wasn't her fault. Poor seven probably had no idea what was going on or why when it came to the manipulation. Patch's heart feeled for her, she was just as upset as the rest of them. "Penny's right seven. Those jerks took advantage of you guys for minor things. They were bullying DarkHeart and she never deserved it and you shouldn't blame yourself!" Patch was now angry. How dare these people hurt their friends? How dare they make them feel so much pain and turmoil for things they never meant to do? Patch growled at the very thought of it. He then calmed down, remembering the mission and responded seeing seven start to cry louder "Hey. Maybe we should talk about this in private. Maybe we can find out how to get mechakara out of the ice. Seven of nine had a idea she wanted to share with you two"
XXXXX

Rodney, the very minute seven stated sobbing, felt a unknown surge of hurt and rage. How dare the leaders make her feel pain by punishing her family? He began to seriously hate the leaders for what they did, despite his supposed loyalty to them. Rodney shook his head as Seven started blaming herself and grabbed her into a supportive and tight hug. He was not going to allow her to feel so much guilt and pain when he was around. He was concerned for darkheart and mechakara but the reason for his rage was because of his concern for seven's well-being. "Shhh. Lovely, do not cry. Do not blame yourself. You cannot blame yourself for the leader's choices. What they did was not your doing" He nodded encouragingly at the two puppies also protesting for seven's behalf. "The little ones are correct Seven. What the leaders did were not right and harmful to our service to them. It is alright seven. You have nothing to blame yourself over" He tried to sooth her with gentle murmurs of affection and saw the puppies down at their feet staring at seven. Rodney smiled to them, glad that they were here.

Patch then suddenly made the notion to go to a private place to talk this out and possibly help mechakara. Rodney pondered about the idea but relented, seeing no reason not to trust the comment patch made. "Hmm. Interesting idea patch. Perhaps seven of nine can humanely unfreeze mechakara. If the leaders have not unfrozen them now, we might as well do it for them" He sighed sadly
XXXXX

Seven of nine turned to Insuedo and like virus, tried to hide her nervousness, she didn't want this to go wrong. She wanted everything to be right. Seven of nine's eyes brimmed with tears and she didn't know why. Was it because she was scared? Was it sadness for mechakara's condition? Was it hurt from her situation as it was? Was it just a pure emotion that noone understood? She didn't know and the tears streamed slightly. "I... I too do not want this to fail either. If we do. Then..." She sighed, her own version of crying, as tears streamed a little. Quickly she wiped them away and said calmly, trying very hard to mask her worries "Let us hurry. I feel that they might come anytime"

[Yellow Lantern Chuckles]

Seven of Eleven sighed looking at the group.

"You guys are good friends. No wonder Mechakara and Dark Heart adopted you. You two are just so cute and you're so smart." said Seven.

She grinned petting Patch and Penny both. She then glanced at Rodney with a grin.

"Thank you Rodney for being there too. My father's frozen, and my sister's hurt. But you're there for me when I need you." said Seven.

She smiled leaning over and kissing him on the lips. She grinned and stood up turning to the puppies as they mentioned Seven of Nine wanted to talk to them.

"Alright. Perhaps she knows of a way to thaw out my father.." said Seven of Eleven.

She stood up and followed the two puppies as they came to a room. She walked in with Rodney when she was suddenly grabbed by Insuedo and Seven of Nine.

"What are you doing? Let me go?" asked Seven.

She tried to fight back when she felt something injected into her neck as she passed out in their arms.

XXXX

Penny smiled at Seven's praise and liked being petted. She almost forgot what they were doing here until she agreed to their plans after giving Rodney a kiss. She hoped the two of them would still be together after the debrainwashing. She followed them to the room silently wincing at Seven's reaction as she passed out. She ran to the side out of the way knowing Patch would join her as she watched Insano and Virus grab Rodney. She just hoped this worked.

XXXXX

Chuckles raised the barrier up as soon as Rodney and Seven returned with Insano and the puppies. He had to focus on the barrier so he couldn't help them subdue the others.

XXXX

Insuedo with Seven of Nine's help grabbed Seven of Eleven and he injected her with something that shut her down temporarily. He looked at Seven of Nine.

"Come help me put her on the table so we can start working. Rodney might be more trouble." said Insuedo.

XXXX

Virus grabbed Rodney trying to hold him back.

"Quick Insano. Hurry. I'm not sure how long I can hold him." said Virus.

He considered Rodney a friend and hoped this would work. If any of them were still under Facilier and the other's control and they let them go then it would mean their deaths for sure.

[Seven Of Nine]

Patch smiled, and wagged his tail as Seven of eleven petted him. Eventually the two robots agreed to go upstairs with them and both he and Penny made them go to the specific room they needed to bait them too. Patch saw Insano lock the door and the whole thing was a quick wrestle of time and patience, Seven of Eleven passing out caused Patch to flinch due to the fact she wasn't aware of what was going to happen to her. He ran to the side, away from the whole shebang, and waited alongside Penny to see if this would work. He truly hoped it did.
XXXX

Dr. Insano was quick to follow the other four to the room and locked the door, and instantly everything as they planned it seemed to work. He wasn't one to hope so soon though and heard Virus tell him to hurry up as he wrestled rodney. Quickly Insano got the device to temporarily shut down Rodney, and helped virus restrain him, and resulting in the other robot shutting down(His way of passing out). Insano flinched, feeling bad that he had to force rodney to do this but knew the business had to come first for these two. He turned to Virus and responded "Alright. Time to reprogram rodney. His systems might be easy but you never know. Help me get him to the table" Eventually he and Virus got Rodney to a table, and Insano went right to work. With a wrench and some wires and whatnot in toll, Insano immediately started operating on Rodney to fix him and also help him realize the same truth he had.
XXXXX

Seven of Nine was quick to act so the minute the two robots came in, Seven of Nine was quick to wrestle with Seven of Eleven. She held her tightly and allowed Insuedo to inject something down Seven of Eleven's neck and watched the younger woman pass out in both of the people's arms. "We do not have a lot of time. We must hurry" Seven of Nine said anxiously. She nodded as Insuedo told her to help him put Seven of Eleven on the table. Quickly she obeyed and the two were quick to put her on the table. She turned to Insuedo and responded, giving him some supplies he needed to repair Seven of eleven "Do what you must do for her but hurry"
XXXXX

Rodney smiled, glad that he and the puppies were successful in cheering Seven up even for a little while. He then listened to what she said then the two kissed, Rodney lost himself to the sensation for a long while before the two eventually broke apart. He then followed the pups and seven of eleven up the stairs to the room the puppies were sending them too. Suddenly the door made a clicking sound, the sound of someone locking the door but before rodney could respond he felt someone wrestle him down. The only response for him was to fight back "Unhand me! What are you doing?" He then saw Seven of eleven and immediately was about to go for her to help but suddenly he felt his systems shut down. The next thing he knew was a voiceover telling him his programming systems were about to be reset. He slumped in his wrestler's arms.

[Dr. Insuedo]

Penny watched nervously next to Patch as they worked on the two robots.

"I hope this works. If even one of them is still under their control we're all in trouble." said Penny.

XXXX

Virus stood with Insano helping to get Rodney to a table. He watched as Insano worked on him and he realized he wasn't going to be much help and stepped back not wanting to fry Insano or mess up his work. He just hoped this worked.

XXXX

Insuedo turned and nodded as he worked alongside Seven of Nine.

"You're right. Thank you. I just hope this works." said Insuedo.

He began his work on her.

XXXX

- Time Skip-

Seven of Eleven woke up as she looked at the others and smiled. She remembered everything and she was now free. She hugged Insuedo and Seven of Nine.

"Thank you. I'm finally free. I understand now all the malfunctions and odd feelings. It was my systems trying to break free from the spell. But it was too strong for me to break on my own." said Seven.

She turned to glance at the others hoping Rodney would wake up as well.

XXXX

Insuedo smiled at the others glad it worked.

"That's good news. It's time we got the others now. Once Rodney's finished we should split up. Insano you know the most about Dark Heart's systems. If she's malfunctioning still she'll need help fast. The puppies should stay here where it's safe. I'm going to help thaw out Mechakara.

Seven of Nine. Phantom Virus. I need you two to go bring Dark Heart. Patch, Penny. You should remain here. If she's still malfunctioning she could be dangerous and may need repairs. I'm going to find Mechakara and teleport him back here. This way if we thaw him out we can be ready to reprogram him before he has time to recover. He's probably the strongest among us and we can't take any chances." said Insuedo.

XXXX

Virus turned hearing Insuedo's suggestions and nodded.

"I'm going to bring Dark Heart in. She needs me and I'm going to be there for her." said Virus.

XXXX

Penny nodded hearing it would be safer for her and Patch to stay behind this time.

"Alright. But bring Dark Heart and Mechakara back safely." said Penny.

[Patch]

As Seven of Nine watched Insuedo do his work, Insano kept his work on the now unconcious rodney. Patch also was paying attention but nodded at his sister's words with a complete look of concern on his features. If any of them were still in control of Facilier, things could get really messy

*Time Skip*

"Thank god. It worked!" Seven of nine said as she and Seven of Eleven hugged it out. She nodded in understanding as Seven of eleven told her that her systems were feeling strange and whatnot because of her own system trying to fix the problem at hand which she and insuedo just did. She nodded "Our systems are more complex than human systems but it seems our bodies too know what is bad and what is good for them" She turned to Insuedo and nodded at his idea of her and Virus going to get DarkHeart while Insano and the puppies waited behind. "Good. Sounds like the next step to our plan for sure" She turned to see the puppy penny ask her to bring DarkHeart and mechakara safely "We will, little one. The other two will be here for sure"
XXXXX

Insano was hard at work with Rodney but he smiled at Seven of Eleven's return to awake-hood and was relieved she understood her malfuctions now. "Almost done" Insano said eventually, nodding completely to everything Insuedo said calmly. He responded "Alright, he's almost finished. Once he's done you and Seven of nine will go get DarkHeart like Insuedo said while he goes to get Mechakara" He then did some loose screws, broken parts and fixed some pitchy wires before a small click was heard. He responded calmly "He's done and he's got a bit more to him now, a personality. Let's get to the next thing. And quickly" He smiled as Rodney beemed up at him before turning to Seven of Eleven happily
XXXXX

Rodney was quick to wake up once Insano activated him once more. Rodney got up with his eyes at first completely emotionless but his expressionless face transformed into a content and happy robotic man. He turned to Insano and beemed "I remember the right things for once Dr Insano. Thank you master" He turned to the others and said "Thank you all also. Without your help I would be still in Facilier's power" He turned to hear that Insuedo was going to get mechakara before he turned to Seven of Eleven and grinned at her. "We are free, seven of eleven!" He said cheerfully
XXXX

"I'm more than happy to stay behind. Just be careful" Patch said in agreement to Penny as Insuedo said that he and Penny should best stay behind. The puppy had no problem with that, only worry that this thing could not still go well and yet he was very happy with the results so far.

(OCC: Next post should have mechakara in it so darkheart can also get in it. Just felt like confirming Rodney's good for now)

[Dr. Insuedo]

Chuckles paused interrupting them.

"Wait. I'll go. With my ring, I can bring him back here still frozen. Mechakara's the strongest cyborg we have. If he's still under their control he's the most suspicious. And we can't have him sounding the alarm. Be right back." said Chuckles.

Chuckles slipped away keeping the barrier up. He let Virus and Seven of Nine out before putting the barrier back up.

"Be careful. Dark Heart may be injured but we need to bring her back safely." said Chuckles.

He then waved goodbye heading off to find Mechakara.

XXXX

Virus nodded.

"Don't worry. We'll get her back. I'm not going to let my girlfriend stay their prisoner any longer than she has to." said Virus.

He began walking away with Seven of Nine searching for Dark Heart.

XXXX

Back inside Insuedo, Seven of Eleven, and Penny were worried.

"I hope this works. I want Mechakara and Dark Heart both to be saved." said Penny.

XXXX

"Don't worry little one. My father and sister will be saved." said Seven of Eleven.

Seven turned to Rodney hugging him.

"We're finally free. I'm so glad. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you either." said Seven of Eleven.

XXXX

Insuedo nodded in agreement.

"Yes. Of course we'll save them." said Insuedo.

"I hope." thought Insuedo.

XXXX

Meanwhile, Chuckles found Mechakara and using his ring he surrounded the block of ice into a yellow energy bubble and it rose into the air.

"Soon you'll be back on the right side again. We'll thaw you out in a bit. Once we get to safety." said Chuckles.

He began walking back to the room with the frozen Mechakara floating along behind him in a yellow bubble.

(ooc: Feel free to have Virus & Seven of Nine find Dark Heart in your next post.)

[Dr. Insano]

(OCC: Okay. Fine by me!)

Insano turned to Chuckles and nodded "OK. But be quick and careful, there's not a moment to waste now!" Insano then saw Virus, Seven of Nine and Chuckles leave before the barrier was once again put up. He was with Insuedo who said to the puppies that the other two would be safe and Insano only silently nodded in agreement. He hoped that would definitely happen. He didn't want anything to go wrong, even though a lot of stuff didn't so far he didn't want to take any chances. He put his hand around Insuedo's shoulder and kissed his temple softly, as if to assure that things would be fine regardless of what he was feeling.
XXXXXX

Patch nodded in agreement with Seven of Eleven "She's right, Penny. We'll get them back. It's working out so far. I don't want to jinx anything though so I'll just leave it at that" He said with some sort of concern himself. As much as he was getting confident about the situation, he too didn't want to toot his horn so soon. He just sat down and patiently waited for Virus and Seven of Nine to go and find DarkHeart while Chuckles got Mechakara. His master being freed was something patch really wanted, with all of them free, they would leave this cruel circus and never come back.
XXXXXX

"Neither will the rest of us virus. Let us go, quickly!" Seven of Nine said patiently, going with Virus to go and find DarkHeart. Eventually though they found her at her room, by herself, just holding herself in some sort of isolated hurt. Seven of Nine's heart broke to see the teen so upset and broken, Seven felt a rage also flow within her too, because no-one deserved this type of treatment. She turned to Virus "Let's go talk to her. She needs someone. It's clear that Facilier's treatment did more harm than just physical pain"
XXXX

Worthless. That's all you are. Worthless

DarkHeart couldn't stop thinking that as she suffered Facilier's torment. The minute she was released, she had been in her room but she never left, not even to go and train when she was normally upset. She took it out on things but somehow, someway, Facilier's torture caused her to be humble enough to stay away from it all. She felt very weak doing this but she felt like she wasn't going to accomplish anything by hitting a tree or something else. Hell, she might've been angry enough to hit someone on her side and that wasn't what she wanted either. She sighed, not aware that seven of nine and Virus were on their way to talk to her, nor did she want them to talk to her. She didn't want anyone to see her this way, she wanted to be alone. DarkHeart didn't want anything to do with anything and just wanted her head to stop hurting.

[Dr. Insuedo]

Chuckles flew into the room carrying the frozen Mechakara in an energy bubble.

"Insuedo, Insano. Get ready. We need to knock him out quickly in case he wakes up after we thaw him." said Chuckles.

Penny and Seven of Eleven watched as Insuedo and Insano got to work thawing out and fixing up Mechakara. Chuckles meanwhile stayed ready to blast Mechakara if necessary.

"I hope it works." said Penny.

"So do I Penny." said Seven of Eleven.

XXXX

Phantom Virus meanwhile was searching with Seven of Nine. He nodded listening to her as he walked in seeing Dark Heart. She looked worse than he remembered and frowned. He wished he' stuck around. What kind of boyfriend was he if he couldn't protect Dark Heart?

"Dark Heart? I heard what happened. I'm sorry I wasn't there. I'd have blasted him." said Virus.

He walkedover to her and hugged her gently not wanting to aggravate any injuries. And he wasn't sure how they were going to get her to go to the secret room they'd set up. Hopefully before Malachite and the others figured out. Or they'd all be in trouble.

[Seven Of Nine]

"It will work! Insano and Insuedo are great scientists!" Patch said persistently, to both his sister and the sister of Penny's owner. He wanted to be positive and it seemed the others wanted to be positive but had the fear he seemed to be lacking at the moment. He turned to insano who told him that while he was being kind, he was being a bit too big for his britches and needed to relax a bit. Patch immediately calmed down and responded softly "Well, here goes nothing" He turned to see his master being thawed out and repaired, and he closed his eyes hoping his master would return as a free-willed person once more
XXXXXX

Insano immediately got right to work and helped insuedo fix mechakara, allowing chuckles the space he needed in case he needed to help restrain or take down mechakara. He worked all the loose wires, screws and places he could get. Then he heard Patch speak up to the two girls that this whole thing would be worth it and saying he and insuedo were good scientists. "Your kindness and faith is commendable, patch but don't count your chickens just yet. The one we have hasn't hatched yet and the other is in another room. Be faithful but don't be too confident" He continued to work not long after that

"Do not blame yourself Virus" Seven said immediately "If anything it is my fault. I WAS there. I should've helped some way" Seven was feeling guilty again because seeing the poor child of her love being like this was hurtful. She then saw DarkHeart blame herself too and the older cyborg's heart snapped. She moved to the other side and said "Sweet DarkHeart, do not be so unsure of your abilities. You are a very smart and capable young woman and you deserve just as much respect as Facilier does. Your father is proud of you and cares about you. We all care about you for sure. We wanted to come and fix the injuries you couldn't fix. Your pup Penny told us and was very worried about your condition"

DarkHeart turned to see Virus and despite the pain in both her heart and mind, she smiled. She frowned when virus told her he knew what happened and apologized for being absent. "No, love. I didn't want you to see me being tortured and blasting Facilier would make things worse and hurt you. I caused all the problems bestowed upon me, my father and my sister. I am the one who should be sorry" She then felt virus come over and hug her gently, and she responded with a gentle hug. She leaned her head against his shoulder and found that to be incredibly comforting. She then heard seven respond with apoligies and she responded with guilt in her voice "No seven of nine, dear friend, it wasn't your fault either. I was weak for Facilier and he disciplined me in kind, my father stood up for me when I didn't deserve it. I was not smart enough to live the performance Facilier expected of me"

When Seven spoke back about how smart she was, how much mechakara and the rest cared about her, and that penny told virus and seven that she wasn't feeling well and the two were here to take her someplace to heal, DarkHeart shook her head "I do not feel the need to leave. Why should I? I am not worth Insano's precious time"
