Cassidy said "Maybe Paul or Brett can do something about it. They use lots of magic all the time to do things." It would probably be something that could only be done by either Paul of Brett. I called Brett because he could fly over to us. He picked up and I told him the stuff that could happen if he did not hurry. Brett said that he was on his way. I looked at 02 and smiled. "Keep it up, 02! Just a bit more. Brett had fairy magic and it can heal him." I said to him. When Brett got there, he was in the corner and unresponsive. Brown ooze was coming from his mouth when he coughed heavily. The womb was still being rejected, but I did not see the new testicles leaving his body anymore. Brett came and zapped him with his wand. We let the evil tentacles get ripped out. Lola, Cassidy, Liam and Vince each got one out of his body by tugging hard on them. 02 was quiet and the final womb and testicles were pushed out of his body. I pulled him into my arms and hugged him. 02 was still running hot, but he was now cooling down. Brett got in on it too. We hugged him and told him that it was alright. He fell.
We picked him up and supported him as he began to walk on his own. He got to the door before turning and beginning to return to the meeting room. I got in his way and said "There's nothing there for you, 02!! It's all a lie. You beat it! You won! The only way you lose is to go back there!" 02 was pushing fully against me with full power. As I got juked, Brett zapped him with the wand. He began screaming at the top of his lungs as he fell to the ground again. Others came from downstairs to see what was going on here. I looked at them and said "This is what happens when an AEP unit comes in contact with a symbiote. 02 here is NEVER allowed to come back here. He is a broken man. Neither is any from Volition Clan, PBJ Clan, Cold Clan or Void Clan." They were looking at the fully raving 02. "Get the fuck back to work! Now!" I yelled at them. I then picked 02 up and carried him out. 02 could not even reach for the room anymore. Brett said "This is creepy." I shrugged. "Let's take him home. Maybe they'll let you ride 01 or 03 for this rescue." Brett chuckled and said "I'm looking forward to it now."
The car ride was awkward. 02 wanted to go back. He did not say what he would do when he got back there. I just shook my head and said "You beat the symbiotes, 02. I know it. Brett knows it. That's all you need." He did not respond to me. When we got him to the gym, we only got him in the door before 01 and 03 were there to take him from us immediately. "What did they do to him!?" 03 screamed as he looked at the soulless look in 02's eyes. It did not look good to me. I just sighed and explained what happened. The clan leader and his parents were there as well. They did not have human empathy but, as a gym, they understood the competitive spirit. They all placed their hands on him and gave him tons of praise. That seemed to get through to 02 a bit. He blinked and his ears bent towards the clan leader. "Leader?" he asked. "I am right here, 02. I see you. Can you see me?" His eyes did a scan of those in front of him. "No. Where are you?" he asked. We all looked at each other. All the light had left his eyes. "Look again. Can you feel us touching you? We are." I said. 02 nodded. "I feel it."
