Sandy: "Hurting others isn't a measure of one's strength—took me a really long time to realize that. As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend, I don't mind what it is! I just want to be there for 'em when they need me. Because at the end of the day, helping my friends is more important than anything else in the world!"

Azure Lion: "I thought I arrived in time to contain the curse, but, based off of your expressions I would hazard a guess that Sun Wukong has already been consumed, along with your friends." MK: "But it's fine right!? We'll just pop this bad boy open and get them back!"

Azure Lion: "It's too late to save them, we can't risk unleashing the curse into the world!" MK: "You don't know, we'd risk it for sure! I won't abandon them when they need us."

Yellowtusk: "I know full well what will happen should Azure fail, but- but he is my brother. I owe him my life." Sandy: "We get it! I'd do anything to help my friends, but at the cost of the world?" Pigsy: "I'm sorry pal, but NOTHING is worth that price!"

Tumblr media
As Ashtray was laying in the bathtub, gun in hand, he knew he only had a few minutes left. He knew there was no getting out of this, it was inevitable. His heart was beating out of his chest as tears pricked his eyes, threatening to fall at any given second. Regardless of how many life threatening situations he'd been in, Ash was unfamiliar with the overwhelming fear he was feeling. Nothing had ever felt as truly horrifying as this. But, he had to remind himself this was for Fez. For Fez, for Y/n— for their lives and their freedom. That was most important to him.
     He refused to allow either of them to go down for what he did, he had to pay the price for his actions. As Fez screamed for him over and over, begging him to come out, he considered listening to what he was saying. Just to stop his screaming; it was tearing his heart in half to listen to. Yet again, he pushed that thought to the back of his mind as he raised and aimed his gun at the door. Before he knew it, he was shooting rounds through the bathroom door and soon bullets came flying his way as well. He heard Fez grunt in pain, followed by a crash on the floor. Oh my god he thought, What if I just shot my brother? He couldn't dwell on that grim thought for long, despite the heavy, lingering guilt in his chest. Ash quickly ducked down, reloading his weapon and shooting again.
     "Ash! Don't shoot! Ash, come on! Get out of there!" Fez was screaming bloody murder, getting choked up on his own tears as he feared what was bound to happen. "Please! Ash, come on, please! Don't shoot him it's a fucking kid!" He was basically sobbing, absolutely hysterical as he begged. Ash's breathing was heavy as he shot a few more rounds despite his brother's continuous pleas.
Thousands of bullets must have rung throughout their home, breaking everything in sight. After what felt like forever, the shooting stopped. Ash was quick to jump out of the tub and lay flat on the ground in order to play dead while the police approached. His heart was beating against his chest with such force he feared the cop would see it.
The door swung open, "He's down," the cop announced. Ashtray took that as his cue to sit up and shoot the man. He dropped to the floor and he looked over at Fez. He was laying in a pool of his own blood, clutching his stomach and staring at him with a tear stained face. His anxiety was bubbling over as he panted loudly, noticing a red dot moving up his chest and onto his face.
For the first time in his life, he felt like a little kid. His whole body shook as he cried softly, wanting nothing more than to be held in Fez or Y/n's arms. The shot rang, it was almost as if life was in slow motion as the bullet was getting closer and closer—
Ash jumped up off of his mattress, panting and covered in sweat. His eyes darted all over, feeling a small sense of relief as he realized he was in his room. That didn't last long before he let out a loud sob. The boy pulled his knees into his chest as he cried, willing himself to relax and rid his mind of the haunting images he saw. The house was filled with silence once he managed to stifle his cries. The boy looked all around before hearing pitter patter across the hall. Anxiety struck him like lightening, still he slipped out of bed and went in the direction of the noise. He saw a figure in the kitchen, he realized it was Y/n.
"Y/n?" He hated the way his voice cracked when he called out to her. The girl jumped and turned around, her expression going from frightened to relieved in seconds.
"Ash, hey. You scared me," she chuckled. "Whachya doin' up, bub?"
"Oh, n— nothin'. Just, uh, can't sleep, gettin' some water." He was hoping he could bullshit his way out of it, but she was unconvinced. Y/n knew this kid like the back of her hand; hell, she helped raise him. His whole demeanor was off, there was a slight squeak as he spoke, and he was just overall acting not like himself.
"Are you okay?" She asked, taking a few steps towards him and examining his face as best she could in the dark. A beam of light from the outside shined through, and she spotted the tear streaks on his cheeks.
"Mhmm, yeah." Ashtray averted his gaze at the floor, pushing past her to go to the cupboard full of glasses. With a shaking hand, he reached up to grab a cup before filling it with tap water. Y/n turned and watched him carefully, studying his movements. He leaned against the counter, glancing at her while drinking from the cup.
"What are you even doing up, Y/n/n?" The boy asked, hoping it would take her attention off of him and his odd actions.
"I thought I heard something but it stopped before I could investigate, plus with the fan running I couldn't tell exactly what it was." She explained, "then I was hungry so I came out for a snack but as soon as I was in the kitchen my body was like, "yeah, never mind." Then, you came out n' spooked me." She added with a slight chuckle.
"I'm sorry," Ashtray squeaked. He felt way worse than he should have, and he knew it, but that didn't stop the overwhelming guilt he couldn't shake off. All because of a stupid, stupid dream.
"Hey, it's okay bub. I was jokin'," Y/n told him, walking over and caressing the little hair he had for a moment before kissing his forehead. "Ash, you're shaking. Are you sure you're alright?"
Ashtray didn't even have time to respond before a loud thud came from the near the couch, similar to the thud Fez's body made after Ash shot him in his dream. His head snapped in the direction of the couch as he jumped, his glass slipping out of his hand and shattering on the floor. The loud, quick crash of the glass sounded way to much like gunshots for his liking. His senses were on high alert, his whole body felt like he could explode any moment, it was the most overwhelming sensation. He couldn't even hear nor process anything Y/n was saying, and before he knew it he was crying. It wasn't even a soft type of cry either; it was full blown hyperventilate-crying.
Y/n pulled him away from the mess before encompassing him in a warm embrace. He wrapped his arms around her tightly as he cried into her shoulder. She swayed their bodies back and forth while rubbing his back, encouraging him to let it all out. She couldn't help but tear up herself, it broke her heart to see him so upset.
Faye stood up off the floor— her falling off the couch being the loud thud that set him off— and hurried over to the kitchen. She flipped on the light switch and picked up the glass so Ash nor Y/n would have to worry about it. She didn't know what had happened, all she knew was there was a kid crying and she wanted to help in any way she could. Ash couldn't really think about much, but he was grateful Fez was such a heavy sleeper. The last thing he wanted was for his brother to see him like that.
"It's okay, it's okay bub." Y/n cooed, "it's alright. Just let it out."
Ashtray didn't know how long he stood in her embrace before taking a couple breaths, hiccuping a little bit. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He wasn't supposed to be a little bitch, let alone over a fuckin' dream. "I'm sorry for keepin' you up, you can go to bed I can get the rest of this mess."
     Faye looked over, "No, no. I got it, don't worry." Y/n mouthed a quick thank you to her when Ash wasn't looking.
     "Why don't we go sit n' talk about what's got you so worked up, buddy?" Y/n offered, hoping very much that he would accept. She didn't want to push him, but she wanted to know what was plaguing his thoughts so much that he was that upset. She watched as the boy thought about it for a moment before nodding his head, whispering a quick "yeah" then heading back to his bedroom.
     They both sat down on his bed, Ash was fidgeting with his thumbs out of nervousness.
     "So... do you wanna talk about what happened, Ash? Or at least what's got ya so worked up?" Y/n asked, running her hand over the back of his head.
"I had a— a nightmare, n' it was real fuckin' bad." He began before inhaling deeply. He exhaled before continuing on, "That muthafucka' Custer was tryna get us busted, I st— stabbed him, n' Fez was gon' take the blame but I didn't want that so I locked myself in the bathroom n' shot at the police." He continued on, almost fearful of what she would think.
The girl just nodded, giving him the opportunity to continue. "I shot Fez," his voice broke and the water works were getting ready to start again. "I played dead n' the cop busted down the door then I shot him n' killed him too, and another cop aimed his fuckin' gun at me. He made sure the red dot was right between my eyes... then— then—"
Y/n pulled the boy into her chest as he let out a cry once again. "I was so scared, mom. I thought it was real, I thought I hurt Fez n' I thought I was gon' die. I— I don't wanna die, Y/n." 
     "Ash, baby, you are not going to die. You are safe, neither me or Fez will ever, ever let anything happen to you. You're safe, I'm safe, Fezzy is safe, and even Faye is safe. Custer’s never gonna bother us again. And, you don't have to apologize for something you didn't actually do. You didn't hurt or shoot Fez. It was all a nightmare, none of it was real, bub. I promise." All Y/n wanted was to make sure Ashtray knew he was safe and okay, but she understood those dreams can really shake a person up. She wiped the stray tears that escaped the child’s eyes, kissing his forehead softly before pulling him in for another comforting hug.
“Do… do you think you could sleep in here tonight? I don’t really wanna be alone.” Ashtray sheepishly asked, assuming the answer would be a no.
“Yeah, of course Ash. I know Fez won’t mind,” she told him. The two got tucked into the kid’s bed, Y/n half propped up on her arm. She held the boy and rubbed his arm to sooth him to sleep, while on the verge of falling asleep herself.
“Mom..?” Ash mumbled tiredly.
“Yeah, Ash?” She responded.
“Thank you, for— for helpin’ me n’ for kinda bein’ my mom.”
“Anytime, kiddo.”
