[Prince Endymion]

Stella laughed, "Pretyy obvious she's probably sleeping."

Zane yelped softly, taking a step back. "Move quick but carefully so he does not have to deal with this pain longer than he has to!"

[kia.]

Kendal tensed, rushing past his parents and out to the main room, laying Apollo out on the couch. The screeching silenced as Apollo settled, gasping. He looked exhausted, and limp. His eyes were dull and his circuits were red.

"I would have no doubt about that." Jay shook his head.

[Prince Endymion]

Stella grinned, "let's go home and wake her up."

Zane rushed after Kendal, "I have never seen anything like this before! Have you Pixal?"

[kia.]

Pixal shook her head as she rushed over, kneeling by the couch. "No! Not at all! No virus I've encountered has been this bad! Apollo?!" She looked at him, concern and a deep fear filling her voice.

Apollo seemed to stare past her, his breaths slow and shallow as to keep his motor going slow. He didn't move for the most part besides the slow rise and fall of his chest. He could speak without moving his mouth, but even that seemed impossible.

Jay nodded. "I wanna go in and make sure their youngest is okay first. They seemed concerned." he said as he glanced back toward Zane's home.

[Prince Endymion]

Stella nodded slightly, "Oh yes... Right... That may be a good idea... Maybe we can do something to help."

Zane knelt beside Pixal, looking at Apollo with concern. "What could possibly be causing this then?! You do not think that Cyrus' ancestor has anything to do with this? This is so unusual, I cannot think of any other cause!"

[kia.]

"Kinra wouldn't be killing the single person she is able to live through!" Pixal shook her head. "It must be one of those newer viruses.. I have a feeling it was specifically engineered to damage and kill droids because basic viruses won't do this." She looked at Kendal. "What was he doing before this hit him?" She asked.

"He came outside shortly after you guys left to check up on things after cleaning up the broken glass, then from what I know he went back to sleep. Then maybe.. ten minutes later I came inside and he was like this..." Kendal shook his head.

Jay nodded, walking up to the porch and gently knocking on the front door before leaning into the home. "Hey..? Everything okay?" He asked as his gaze drifted over to the group of droids in the room.

[Prince Endymion]

"This is a terrible virus! I have never gotten one to my knowledge. How do you remove it Pixal?" Zane asked. He looked up to Jay and Stella and frowned slightly. "Not really... Come in I suppose, were you not going to go get breakfast?"

Stella followed Jay, "We wanted to make sure everything was alright and see if we could help."

[kia.]

Jay walked over, tensing when he saw Apollo. "What's wr-ah!" He yelped as Pixal bolted past him, returning moments later with a small set of items. "What's wrong?" He finished.

"I would imagine a virus." Pixal said. "Faster acting, engineered to drop or kill a droid." She said as she opened Apollo's chest capsule. Everything seemed off, being all grey and lifeless. It was as if shadows were eating away at him. "Likely one of the newer viruses that we haven't caught yet." She nodded. "Kendal, go wake your sister up and update your firewalls, now." She said. "You've had contact with him the most, I advise you do so quickly so the virus does not have a change to wedge itself into your coding." she warned as she began to unweave wires, slicing some with a sharp blade and leaving few connected. His circuits flickered as she sliced a wire. "Bingo. It's rooted within his consiousness control. It's pulling him into a false sense of exhaustion to weaken his firewall even more and then shatter the rest of his awareness, which is why he hurts so much."

[Prince Endymion]

Zane looked over to Pixal, "You figured that out quickly. How easily can we fix this? Any idea?" He asked quickly.

[kia.]

"I can't be sure what can be done to stop it." Pixal shook her head. "I'd say he be set into a sleep mode until the virus works its way through.. Our only hope is that he recover." She sighed as she set aside the blade.

For a brief moment, Apollo's vision snapped back into focus and he saw the people surrounding him. Seeing the concerned and worried looks on his parent's faces made him want to tell them he was okay, and that the pain had stopped.
But this was only a brief few moments before pain engulfed his senses like the coils of flame. His vision blurred and began to darken, and in the back of his mind, he heard Kinra whisper.
'Into the shadow world..'
