Callie was strolling about in the halls of the house when her phone started ringing in her pocket, the witch grabbing the device before accepting the incoming call, which was from Actor.
"Hello?"
"Callie, report on the plan," Actor ordered, Callie being able to sense delight in his voice, the girl furrowing her eyebrows at the man.
"What do you mean 'report on the plan'?" Callie asked, confused as to why Actor was asking this when he told her to drop all plans just yesterday, the girl opening her bedroom door to get privacy while on the call as she closed it.
The witch heard Actor give out an irritated sigh, both being completely silent for around thirty seconds before Actor spoke up, "Did you take care of that hero?"
Now Callie was even more confused as she furrowed her eyebrows further, the girl taking a deep breath before replying, "But you told me to drop all of my plans and undo the curse I did on that emo kid."
There was silence on the other side of the line, Actor being in deep thought as Callie heard his pacing footsteps from her phone.
All movement then stopped from the man until it finally clicked, Actor speaking up, "Callie did you see any glitches on your screen when you saw that message?"
"Uh, I don- Wait. Yea, there was a weird, green glitch on my screen."
"Goddammit," Actor muttered, Callie just now realising what had happened as she rolled her eyes. "It was Anti that sent that message. Did you already undo the curse?"
"Yea, I did it as soon as I saw the text."
"Alright. Can you stay in that house for a little longer? Just so that if they make a plan you can tell me."
"Yea, I'll do it."
Actor then hung up, starting to walk towards the room he was keeping the four Ipliers and Anti, the man slamming the door behind him, making the Ipliers immediately look towards him.
Dark grunted, trying to get out of the restraints, but couldn't as Callie had put a spell on them before she left, otherwise, Dark would have escaped long ago.
The two Jim's and King just sat there, glancing around with panic evident on their face's as they knew they weren't strong enough to break out or face Actor in a fight.
"I see you four are still awake," Actor said, Dark stopping his actions just to give the villain a cold glare, the other three just staring with horror-filled expressions as Actor grinned widely.
"Go fuck yourself," Dark spat with a scowl on his face, resulting in Actor punching the dark ego, Dark just chuckling in response, not feeling that much pain from it.
Actor immediately turned to the other three straight after Dark had stopped laughing, Actor beginning to stride towards the three who were clearly terrified out of their minds.
"Don't go near them," Dark spoke with venom clear in his voice, not wanting any fellow Iplier egos to get injured as he struggled against the ropes, even more, a burning sensation starting to form at his wrists where the rope was rubbing against his skin.
Actor hummed, stopping in his tracks, the Jim's and King just two steps away from him, the three shaking in fear as they weren't cut out for these types of things, "And why should I do that? What're you going to do?"
"I'm going to break you into pieces when I get out of here!" Dark yelled, trying to break the restraints as he pulled at them with most of his strength, which still didn't seem to be working.
Actor stood and thought for a few moments before a smirk came over his facial features, the man slowly continuing to walk towards the Jim's and King.
"I said don't go near them!" Dark growled out, his aura snapping out, Actor whistling at the fierceness himself, Actor saying: "Looks like Celine and Damien aren't happy."
"Of course they aren't happy," Dark growled out, his aura settling down slightly as his eyes flashed between black, blue and red.
Actor hummed, walking over to Anti's unconscious body and placing a hand on the demon's shoulder, "You'll all end up like this if you aren't careful."
"Why did you even do that to him?" King spoke up, looking at Actor with the best glare he could muster.
"He refused to join me and my plans," Actor stated simply. "I'd say it was a fair punishment. But, he'll be joining me no matter what."
"And how do you plan on doing that?" Dark asked fiercely, knowing Anti wouldn't just join him as he was a stubborn ego and you couldn't even talk to him without some trouble.
"I'm going to brainwash him.".
"How?" Dark questioned, looking at him with curiosity and disbelief, the demon not believing Actor as the latter walked over to the table of weapons. "It's nearly impossible."
Actor hummed as he stopped at the table, picking up a gun with light blue in certain areas of it, "I'll just simply use this. There is a chip inside that will be lodged inside his brain. He'll be my minion. And so will you."
Actor started walking towards Anti while Dark shouted in protest, not doing much as Actor now stood behind the Septic, one hand gripping the demon's hair while the other held the gun to his temple.
The man pulled the trigger and only a small click was heard, a chip now being inserted into Anti's brain.
"Your turn," Actor said, smiling maliciously as he walked towards King, the man glancing over to the other man in the room. "Hold his head still."
A man that was hidden in the corner of the room walked forwards, standing behind King, the man seizing the Iplier's head with a death grip, the King of the Squirrels struggling in the man's grasp.
Actor did the same process as he did with Anti, but this time King started screaming as the thing was creating a painful pressure inside his head. The screaming lasted about two minutes as Dark held his eyes closed tightly, his fists clenched as they rested on the arm of the chair, tied by the ropes.
The man then let King's head go, the Iplier slumping down in the chair as soon as he had stopped screaming, the chip starting to take control of his brain slowly.
The man then moved behind Cameraman Jim, Actor quickly shaking his head at his henchman, "We'll not do anything to them. They're useless."
The man nodded and moved to behind Dark, Dark's head now being held still, not being able to move it as the man held it. He could feel the gun like thing on his temple, bracing himself for the pain.
Dark didn't even try to struggle as he had being doing that since he woke up, and it wasn't working, his eyes still clenched tightly as he waited.
The pain came as soon as he heard the click, but it was more painful than the dark ego had anticipated, Dark screaming as the chip entered his brain, the demon being in pain for little time as it only lasted for about thirty seconds, Dark slumping down in his chair like the other two.
Actor smirked a malicious smile once again, setting the gun on the table once again, turning to his henchman, "Have you sent the picture of Anti to the others? Yes? Good."

Mark, Jack and Thomas had all got a message sent to them by email, which was quite weird as they never usually got random emails from random people unless it was spam.
When they all checked what was sent, they found a picture, the picture being censored and saying; {{This picture may be triggering for some people. Click the image to see without blurring.}}
Before any of them opened it, they looked at who sent it. 'Unknown'
They all clicked the image in their separate rooms, not knowing anyone else had got the email other than them, Jack and the others having to close the picture as soon as they saw what was happening.
The picture was horrific. Anti's bloodied up body was now on all of their minds, Dark, the Jims and King being spotted in the back of it.
Jack ran out of his room, quickly entering Mark's with a sick look on his face, his skin tone paler than usual, the man also seeing Thomas sitting on Mark's bed with a disgusted look on his face.
"Did you get the picture, too?" They all said at once, all nodded their heads afterwards. Jack had tears streaming down his face.
One of his egos could be dead for all he knew and he couldn't do anything about it.
As a few minutes passed, the egos and sides could sense the stress all of their creators had, which made them all worried as they went looking for them. They finally found Mark, Jack and Thomas gathered in Mark's room.
They opened the door to see Jacks tear stricken face and the other two with both horrified and worried looks on their faces.
"What's wrong?" Patton asked, walking towards Jack to comfort him, which the Irishman was thankful for as he was pulled into a hug but Morality.
Jack couldn't speak as he let out a sob, covering his mouth after Patton let go of the hug, all of the Septic egos crowding around Jack, trying to comfort him, which wasn't working unless JJ was talking to him.
Thomas sighed, glancing at both Mark and Jack before looking at the others who were now paying their full attention to the Viner, "We got sent a picture. It's Anti."
"What about Anti?" Yandere asked, staring at the three intently as Mark walked towards his ego, handing his phone to them with a sad look on his face.
After a few short seconds, Mark spoke up saying, "I'll pass my phone out to everyone. If you don't want to see it, then you don't have to"
~
Everyone was now sitting in the living room, crowded around Mark's couch.
All of Jack's egos had tears either streaming down their faces, or tears brimming the corners of their eyes, along with Patton, who had hidden his face the entire time in Logic's shoulder, Logan and Virgil both comforting the other Side.
Everyone else had widened eyes, not believing what they were shown.
Jackie's hands were clenched by his side as he stood up and began to walk towards the front door, being stopped when Wilford stood and asked, "Where are you going? And can I come along? I'm sick of being stuck in this house."
The hero had the door already opened as he glanced back to glace at everyone else, a hard glare resided on his face as a scowl came over him.
Jackie shook his head at the pink-haired Iplier.
"I'm going to kill that son of a bitch."
