Chapter 3
Newton starts returning to his home, Stitchem Manor.
He's a bit sluggish, the hypnosis he'd been put through tiring him more. As he slowly gets to the manor, he looks up at the sky. His mind keeps trailing back to what was beaten into his head with the music. 'Obey. Obey her. OBEY. You are less than her.'
And he believed it. He'd believed he'd been less than her. And in a way, he'd been.... right? In any case.... there really would be no way he'd be on her level of power. A powerful leader, owning almost all of the Imagisphere's territories and planets... compared to a small lightbulb who'd flunked the Popit Academy? There's no way they could even compare...
Getting closer and closer to the manor, the thought of someone in his family catching him doing something, releasing the titans overcame Newton. If either of his parents, Nana, or... the dreadful Captain, would catch him, it'd be over for him. He'd be berated, yelled at, humiliated... it wouldn't be good for him. But, he still heads towards the manor, despite his conflicting thoughts. He gets in, and just heads for the roof now.
Halfway to the roof, he hears... Someone. He tries not to, but he looks behind himself. And there's... nobody there? He shudders a bit, but just shrugs it off, still having his sights set for the roof, and the Titan Tin.
Getting to the roof of the manor, Newton gets his way to what he'd wanted. The titan tin. He steadily walks towards it, as sluggish as he'd been before. Before he can get to the tin, though, he heard the person behind him again. He once again, looks behind himself, and sees- Captain Pud.
"P- Papa-!" Newton yelps, jumping back, suprised, obviously.
"C- NEWTON!" Captain yells at him, "What are you doing up here-?!"
Newton thinks to himself. 'How am I gonna explain this--??? W-what's he gonna do to me?'
Newton looks at the ground for a moment, the message that was now glued in his mind coming back... And so he speaks, "For the... Th..."
Captain just grumbles to himself. "You know the rule, Newton."
Newton keeps trying to explain. "Pa...Papa.. I was told that I'm helping the world if I get to the titans..."
Captain yells at him in return. "NEWTON! You KNOW that's not true!"
Newton responds, "..It- is true."
Captain, not having any more of his son's attempts to explain, grabs him by his coat. In response to this, Newton screams out, "LET- GO-!!"
Captain steps back, but doesn't let go of Newton, who keeps yelling at him. "L-LET.. GO-! DON'T TOUCH ME-!"
"Newton-!" Captain interrupts, "What has gotten into you?!"
Newton yells again, "G-GET AWAY FROM M..ME! ON-LY SHE IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH ME!"
Captain grumbles to himself before responding, "She? Who do you mean by she... surely-" Before he can finish, Newton cuts him off. "Th- the only person who's ever..." He trails off, leaving Captain to finish what he'd been saying, "Surely you aren't talking about whoever you've been talking to in that Junction. That dangerous place-"
....And Newton freezes up. "How dare you call her dangerous-!"
Captain, understanding this, grabs Newton by his neck.
He tries to push his father off of him this time. "P-papa-!"
Still holding him that way, Captain screams at him. "WHO HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO?!"
Newton shivers, not answering. Captain angrily waits, tightening his grip on Newton.
In pain, Newton answers. "T- The leader-"
"THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN SHIT!" Captain screams at him.
"I...It's..." Newton says, obviously afraid, "T- The l-leader- N-Na-"
Captain just listens now, looking angrier by the second.
"Na... N.A.O.M.I-" Newton finally says.
Captain tightens his grip once more, and throws Newton to the ground, cracking the back of his bulb.
Newton just... lays there for a moment. Processing what just happened. Captain walks off, whispering something to himself. "That'll teach him a lesson..."
Chapter 4
After a while, Newton gets up and... decides to head back to the Junction. On his way, he decides to pick up some rocks and leaves... at least he was bringing something back, if what he'd thought. After some time of tiredly walking, pretty much half asleep, he gets back to the building where he'd been with N.A.O.M.I earlier. He heads in the building- and is stopped by some guard sackbots, who are a bit taller than him. He jumps a bit upon seeing them.
One of the guards asks him a question. "What are you here for?"
Newton answers, "T-to see N.A.O.M.I- she wanted me here-"
The other guard speaks, "We will notify her."
The guards walk off, and Newton stays put... worried. What would N.A.O.M.I think about what he'd brought her
Soon, the guards come back, and give him the okay to go to where N.A.O.M.I had been.
He gets to the stairs, and starts heading up.
He soon gets up to the floor, and room where N.A.O.M.I is. He knocks on the room's door, to which she opens the door. "Ah."
Newton waves to her. "H.... hello-!"
N.A.O.M.I waves back, greeting him with, "Welcome back, Newton."
Newton shakily shows her the leaves and rocks he'd brought, saying, "I-I didn't let out the Titans... I... I'm sorry..."
N.A.O.M.I gets a bit of a disappointed look on her face, but she takes the rocks and leaves.
"P... Please don't be- mad-" Newton whimpers.
N.A.O.M.I sighs a bit, before speaking, "I'm not mad, Newton."
His face lights up.
N.A.O.M.I keeps speaking, "....I'm just disappointed in you."
And Newton freezes upon hearing that. "I-I-I'm s-so sorry-"
N.A.O.M.I sighs. She goes and puts down what Newton had brought her, aand picks up Newton. He looks up at her, a bit suprised, before looking around the room. It's a luxurious, huge office, almost seeming like an apartment or hotel room. N.A.O.M.I sits Newton on the ground, and pats his head.
He starts calming down from earlier, as N.A.O.M.I turns on a TV that'd been in the room. She turns the channel to a show that would send similar messages to the music she'd played for him earlier, and goes and sits next to him.
After a night of talking and getting to know each other more, Newton finally falls asleep on the ground. N.A.O.M.I turns off the TV, and eventually gets to sleep aswell... even the most powerful being in the galaxy needs rest too.
In the morning, N.A.O.M.I gets up, and gets into her formal wear, away from Newton, who'd still been asleep.
She leaves the room, and starts going to the basement of the building....
