Chapter 62: Heartbreak: Arrival and Questioning

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"You told us he was dead!" Silver exclaimed as he smashed his fist into the table. Electro was backed into a corner by him, Oceanic, Sparkjump and Onyx, all enraged and demanding to know what was going on. The hospital room was filled with so much tension in the air it was almost suffocating. Hack lay on the hospital bed with a bandage around his stomach, having lost a lot of blood and an infection growing from the dirt in the wound.

"I thought he was! That's what I was told I swear!" Electro spoke desperately, not wanting to be found out. So far Hack, Bass, Casino and him had been silent about the whole thing, and it was going to stay that way. Electro just needed to figure out how to get rid of Dantes without letting Sunset know, or his entire plan could be ruined, his life that he worked so hard to steal and build would be stripped away by the very man he sought to dispose of. This right here is why you kill your enemies, even then, you make sure they are dead.

"I'm not buying it." Onyx shook his head. "You obviously know something, same as Hack and Bass."

Suddenly, Sparkjump pushed past them and stared Electro in the eye. "If you are telling the truth, look me in the eye and say it."

Electro took in a breath and sighed. Looking into Sparkjumps eyes her spoke. "I honestly did not know your friend was alive."

Sparkjump analysed his eyes, noticing that there was a hint of nervousness in them. It could be because of the interrogation, or it could be that he was hiding something, he couldn't know for sure. "Well, time will tell." Sparkjump said quietly as he walked back to hos previous spot. "If he does know something and is hiding it, we can always ask Treble when we see him next."

"Didn't you hear what he said though, he said Treble was gone, and called himself Dantes." Oceanic explained as he put his back against the wall of the room.

Casino in the corner shivered as he remembered the look in Dantes' eyes. "That guy, that thing, is not Treble." He spoke with fear.

"What are you talking about?" Silver asked concerned. He walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Treble doesn't act like that, he doesn't have that mindset, he doesn't have that look in his eyes. That wasn't anger, that was pure bloody rage in his eyes. Whatever he is, he is NOT Treble!"

"He's right." Everyone turned to Hack who placed a hand over his bandaged wound. "He stared me right in the eye. I couldn't see Treble anywhere in those eyes, it's someone completely different."

Electros fear began to grow rapidly, but he forced himself to hide it. "So, what do we do now?" Onyx asked.

Silver sat down and sighed. "Now, we wait. Not much else we can do."

"Someone needs to tell Sunset..." Oceanic muttered quietly, but everyone heard him. "Yeah...but which one of us is man enough to go and give her news that will shatter her heart futher?"


Meanwhile

The helicopter landed outside of Canterlot City, in the garden of a large red and black mansion with two red banners hanging over the sides, red banners with the emblem of a red diamond in a white circle in the middle. Once Mist and Solid jumped out of the aircraft, they helped Dantes down as he looked upon his new home. "Good choice of location gentlemen." Looking down at his slightly torn prison outfit, he frowned and directed his attention to the front door of the manor. "But admiring the architecture and landscape will have to wait, I'd prefer to get out of this rags as soon as possible."

"Let's head inside then." Solid spoke as he began walking ahead, with Mist knocking the side of the chopper, signalling the pilot to take off before following with Dantes. As they reached the front door Dantes noticed the two guards at the sides, each in red swat uniforms with sub-machine guns held ready in their arms. Once they noticed Dantes they saluted and opened the double doors.

"I see you've even got security personnel around the area, impressive." Dantes praised as they walked through the main hall, paintings hanging from each wall covered with red wallpaper and dark red woodwork.

"Most of them originally came from the Black Cats, after a lot of their men realised that most of X's plans involved things that they didn't agree with, and in the case of Treble abd his friends, essentially pedophyillia. The others are ex-military or CCPD (Canterlot City Police Department)." Mist explained as he stopped and opened a door. "Step in here and choose whatever outfit you wish, we'll be waiting at the dining room. When you're ready a guard will escort you to the dining area."

"Alright, thank you both, I'll be ready soon." With that, Dantes walked into the room and closed the door behind him. Finding multiple clothes racks, he slowly strolled around until he found the ideal outfit.

After a quick shower, he got dressed and walked out of the room. Now wearing a red tailcoat with a grey vest and a white neckerchief, red dress pants and black leather shoes. His hands lacked gloves, something he did to distance himself from Treble, he wanted to make that perfectly clear. Dantes followed one of his gaurds to the dining room where he found Mist, Solid and two others.

"Ah, Adagio and Spitfire, I didn't realise you'd be joining us." He greeted as he walked into the large dining room, with a long wooden dining table which faced a large dark wood fireplace.

Adagio smirked and walked over to him, placing a finger on his chest. "Well, it's great to finally meet you, Dantes. I must say, interesting choice in fashion."

"I could say the same to you."

Adagio now wore a sparkling black dress, with a red diamond pin holing it's single strap over her left shoulder. Her eyepatch still covered her lost eyes, but she still kept her elegance and beauty. "Thank you, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to fit in this again, considering the pounds I put in during my pregnancy."

Dantes looked to Spitfire who got out of her seat and walked over slowly. It had been her voice he had heard thirteen years ago in the solitary cell. Her hair was slightly longer but still kept its shape, and she herself wore a blue strappless dress with fire patterns around the bottom. "So, this is you after all these years."

"Yes, it is." Dantes just stared at Trebles first love in thought, what reasons other than helping Treble could she have for aiding him in his quest for justice. "You and I can catch up later, right now, I'm more concerned with meeting him."

Both Adagio and Spitfire smiled and whistled. "Alright, come in, he wants to meet you!" Adagio called out. Suddenly, one of the doors in the room opened and a silhouette could be seen standing in the light that shined through the open door.

Dantes smiled warmly and began walking up to him. "Well hello. You and I have a lot to talk about."

Author's Notes:

Oooooohhhhh how much I wanted to reveal who it was this chapter, but I'd rather leave you with a teasing cliffhanger than a reveal cliffhanger. Try and guess who it is. The clues are all over the Heartbreak chapters from when Dantes was placed in the separate cell.

If you see any mistakes let me know, thanks. Hope you enjoyed.
