A Glorious Comeback (1x! with *Adashi*)

[mandalorian]

Vaughn's struggling for a few more moments before he finally brings his head forward and back, hitting the head of the digi-Jack holding him and taking advantage of the situation. He lifts his hand to pull the digis off his and yanks the shoulder away, until he's completely free of the grasp and is able to pull his gun. He aims at Timothy, who was aiming at the Warrior, and shoots the watch controlling the digi-Jack's to get them offline — or if he misses, get Timothy in the hand and distract him.

Rhys lets out a string o curses when Jack collapses, immediately moving over to hook his arms under Jack's armpits and haul him back up. "You're okay. You're okay, you're okay, you're okay, I got you." He repeats, stumbling back and taking Jack with him through the caverns. Get to the vault.

Timothy shouts in surprise when the bullet takes out not only his watch but also goes through the mechanical, forcing him to drop Fatale and clutch his wrist, glaring drastically as he turns towards vaughn. He's about to shout something hen warrior takes full advantage and slams one of their massive fore-paws down and ontop of the doppelganger with an angry roar before lifting their claws and smacking the doppel, throwing him into the bottom of a rock platform before the doppelganger collapses completely, thought warrior still advances, tail lifted and charging a shot.

Jack's hardly moving despite rhys lifting and dragging him into the vault. With jack practically frozen/incapacitated, there would be no way for him to stop the warrior from trying anything if it did.

"Timothy!” Vaughn shouts, alarmed. No, this wasn't how it was supposed to go down — Timothy wasn't supposed to go down like that. He rushes forward, throwing himself over Timothy in a desperate attempt to stop Warrior.

Rhys pauses halfway to get Jack into a bridal position and continue on, huffing just a bit because of Jack's weight before stumbling through the vault. He spots the Warrior and the forms of his two friends instantly. "Hey! Hey, don't!" He shouts, starting to rush over and get in front of both Vaughn and Timothy with Jack still in his arms. "Don't worry about them! Help Jack!"

The humans are throwing themselves around but the warrior stops its attack and looks at the group, slowly lowering their head and snout to look at the small group before leaning forward, jaws parting ever so slightly to grab hold of jack's tail and lift him out of rhys arms carefully so not to hurt either of them before turning and moving to retreat back into the magma with a muffled roar.

"Rhys.” Vaughn snags his wrist as Rhys moves forward to investigate the disappearing Warrior, and he turns his attention to the collapsed Timothy. "Shoot! Right!" He pulls one of the hypos out of his pocket and rushes to Timothy's side, administering the medicine and then pulling a few more to repeat. "C'mon, c'mon, you're okay. You're okay, Tim."

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Its probably around the fourth hypo that timothy finally lurches with a rough breath then a heavy cough, faintly turning onto his side as he grains his breathing, then lifts his hand, only to pause and squint a bit seeing the hole thought his glove and mechanical. "What.... What did i do now?" He mumbled a bit dryly as he lets his arm drop to the ground then looked at Vaughn then rhys and seems a bit confused.

[mandalorian]

Vaughn lets out a cry of relief, grabbing Timothy's shoulders when he turns to look at them, pulling him against his chest and nuzzling him. "Oh thank god. I thought — I'm never letting you out of my sight again.” He says, though muffled from having his face dug in Timothy's shoulder before he kisses his temple and lets out a grateful laugh.

"Hey," Rhys says, voice soft and affectionate from relief. "Thought we lost you for a second, bud. We need to get you back to Helios before you do anything else here."

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Timothy makes a noise, putting an arm around vaughn at first. "I think i might have to come by atlas first." He mumbled, his attention changing to the hiss/shrieking sound from the edge and jack was currently crawling out of the magma, the thermic glow back showing he was no longer frozen and the once broken plating now repaired.

[mandalorian]

"Whichever, whichever. Whatever you want. I'm never letting you go anywhere ever again.” Vaughn continues to ramble, pulling Timothy closer and letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Hold that thought." Rhys stands, looking over to where Jack is and holding out his mechanical to help him up. "You look better. Don't worry about the arm. Heat resistant."

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

"Fortunate." Jack mumbled, even if he took rhys hand and got to his feet. He looks around briefly before spotting lawrence and vaughn before instantly marching forward, tail lashing side to side in an aggressive manner before shoving timothy down with one foot and leaning over him with a menacing smile. "Hey there tim-tam. You wanna tell me what you thought this would accomplish pal?" He stated in a happy-passive aggressive tone that turned timothy as white as a sheet.
"J-Jack, Jack, please, i'm sorry, i don't even-" Timothy stammers before jack cuts him off.
"Are you seriously about to say 'Don't even know what you did'? Look around kiddo, we're in Another vault. More importantly, the vault of the warrior, which you just tried to kill so to kill me." Jack retorted, tone going more aggressive then passive as timothy stammers and stutters even more, which turns into a wheeze for air when jack pushes his foot down on his chest, talon's threatening to dig into his skin.
"No more lip. I don't wanna hear it. Just nods or shake of the head, got it?"
Timothy swollows but nods his head.
"Ya gunna try this again?" Timothy shakes his head.
"Done trying to kill me?" He nods his head.
"You been taking your medications bucko?" Timothy pauses, takes to long to answer, gets a gasp of pain when jack stomps down on his chest and shakes his head.
"Well that answers the question of where your head went and this stupid idea of yours. Lets fix that shall we?" Jack's smile is predatory as timothy's eyes widen and he states babbling apologies.
"Wait, wait, no, jack please, i'm sorry! I promise i wont do it again! I swear i wont do it again! Please, i don't wanna die."
"Gaia-Ouranos."
Timothy squeaks and clenches his eyes but... Nothing happens, jack's stepping away laughing quite a bit. Timothy opens one eye, then both, eyes wide. "Did you just...?"
"Rhysie made your case earlier before this whole thing started. He made some valid points. Hyperion isn't in this system anymore and all, so theres no one really around for when your thirty year contracts up pumpkin. But, as the contract states. Once the vocal termination code is given, you're free to do what ever you want. Theres even an account in your name with the same code for it you want to get that face fixed and go back to your old life, once you go into that account, your entire history is reinstated. Go nuts." He stated, shrugging a bit as he heads for the exit while timothy just seems bewildered by this. Jack just... Jack just personally and completely set him free.
