Pain from being rejected by the person he loves most, pain from grief from trading in a friend, and dooming the world. Then it stopped.

The pain and sadness and grief was replaced with anger. More anger than you could imagine.

"WHOA!" Cipher shouted,  "I haven't seen that much anger since I was 7!"

Sol slapped Cipher. "With pain comes power." Sol said, eyes red

"Well with hypnosis comes obedience." Ink said.

Sol immediately stopped and looked at Ink

"Your friends got away." Ink said, and Sol snapped out of the hypnosis for a minute

"They won't come back. You betrayed them both, why would they save you? They'll probably hate you for life" Ink shrugged, and Sol slouched. It was true. They did hate him.

"There is a chance you can get them back." Ink said, a plan forming.

"How?" Sol said desperately

"If Cipher hypnotises them, they'll have to forgive you. I can make them forget all about when you betrayed them." Ink said. He wasn't lying. He could, but would he?

"I'll take any chance." Said Sol, eyes red again. Sol, hypnotized and being watched by cipher, sneaked into Friedburger's den to get pink back. And while he's at it, maybe his girlfriend too. He snickered as he spotted them hurriedly explaining to the rest of the pets what happened. He saw pink's girlfriend lean in towards pink and nuzzled him. Pink nudged her back with a weak smile. Sol felt a pang in his chest. He cant do this. Sighing, with his eyes back to normal, he turned to cipher and said "i cant do this." "Do you know what this means, Cipher?" Ink said, his voice low

"N-no?" Cipher said, trembling

"You're weakening." Ink growled.

Cipher sighed as he stung Sol again.

And again.

And again.

"OW! OW! OW!" Sol shouted, grabbing the attention of FriedBurger's pets

"Sol?" Nicole said, looking over the bush

"Nicole? Will you forgive me? I'm sorry..." Sol said, ashamed

"I can't" Nicole said sadly

"What? But, but I..." Sol stammered

"Sorry just won't cut it." Nicole said, turning away from the traitor

Sol heard those words again and his heart shattered.

"You broke my heart Nicole." Sol said, tears dropping on the ground

"And it can't be fixed." Sol stood up, eyes glaring red. Cipher had struck him when he felt hurt and abandoned.

"I found out what was wrong. I need to get them while they're vulnerable. Ashamed. Abandoned. So, I guess what I'm saying is: Thanks for helping Nicole. I quite think we're working together." Cipher said, grinning ​​​

Nicole, filled with shame for breaking her ex's heart and anger at cipher, did something she'd vowed never to do again. She lashed out. She lunged at cipher and knocked him out of the air. His head hit the wall of Friedburger's den with a sickening crunch. Once taken down, Cipher's hypothesizing powers had no effect. Sol passed out.

"Nnnnnghh.." he muttered as Nicole turned him to his side. "Pink.. tell him I'm sorry..." he gasped and fell still.

"No.." Nicole muttered firmly. "You're going to tell him yourself."

Sierra Jr. looked at Cipher with interest. Hmmmm, she thought. ''How did a fly like him manage to gain hypnotizing gas? Maybe... his father?''

"Sierra?" asked Pink gently. "You okay?"

"Yeah.. I'm fine.. I think I just figured out how to beat Ink."
