Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Broken Bonds

Dave stood motionless over the two beds, his gaze shifting between his sisters. Sarah lay peacefully next to Emily, still in the deep, unreachable sleep that had plagued her since Helios' cruel experiment. Dave clenched his fists, frustrated by the system's prior message that Earth's current technology wasn't advanced enough to wake her. He would need to develop it himself someday. But now, Emily needed him.

He called up the system, asking for a detailed analysis of Emily's condition. The results flashed before him: Emily's body had endured significant damage, but there was hope. The system recommended a medical bottle from the store—its healing properties would repair her body.

With no hesitation, Dave purchased the bottle, opening it with urgency. He poured the liquid carefully into Emily's mouth, watching as her bruises, cuts, and broken bones began to mend themselves. The visible transformation was swift, and after several long, agonizing moments, her eyes fluttered open.

"Dave?" Emily's voice was barely a whisper, weak and trembling.

Dave knelt beside her, his hand gently gripping hers. "Emily, I'm here. You're safe now."

The moment her gaze fully focused on Dave, tears streamed down her cheeks. A heavy sob broke through her fragile demeanor as she squeezed his hand desperately. "Dave... I thought... I thought I'd never see you again!"

Her frail body trembled uncontrollably as she buried her face into Dave's chest, clinging to him like she feared he might disappear. "It was... it was so terrible! Everything... it hurts so much," she stammered between sobs. Her cries were heart-wrenching, every sound laden with pain.

Dave tightened his hold around her, his anger burning deeper at the thought of what Helios had done. "You're safe now, Emily. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you again."

But Emily continued to cry uncontrollably, her body shaking with each sob as she struggled to recount what had happened. "It was Helios... he came for us. We didn't know what was happening. We were just... living our normal lives, and then... then everything went dark," she whispered, her voice trembling. "They grabbed us, Dave... They didn't even care that we fought back... I tried to protect Sarah, but they were too strong. They dragged us both to some horrible place... it was like a prison."

Emily's breathing quickened as she continued, her words coming out in choked gasps. "They experimented on us, Dave... especially Sarah. They did things to her... things that I can't even describe. They put her under, and she never woke up. I thought I'd lose her right there. Every day, I was terrified that they'd do the same to me."

Dave's grip tightened as he listened, feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness. He had failed to protect them, and that realization struck him like a dagger to the chest. "I'm so sorry, Emily. I should've been there sooner. I should've stopped them," he muttered through clenched teeth.

Emily looked at him with tear-filled eyes. "It's not your fault, Dave. You couldn't have known... but he... Helios... he enjoyed it, Dave. He enjoyed watching us suffer." Her sobs turned more violent, and she shuddered at the memory. "He treated us like... like animals."

Her trembling hand pointed towards Sarah, who still lay unmoving. "They took her away for long periods of time, and when she came back... she never spoke again. She wouldn't wake up. I begged them to stop, but they didn't care... they didn't care about any of us."

Tears flowed uncontrollably as she collapsed back into Dave's arms, her voice breaking. "Why did this happen to us? Why?"

Dave struggled to find words, but there were none that could soothe her pain. He could only hold her tighter, his mind racing with fury toward Helios. Looking over at Sarah, his heart ached at the thought that she was still trapped in that deep sleep, unreachable by anything Earth had to offer. He asked the system once again if there was any way to wake her, but the answer remained unchanged.

"There's no way to help her right now," Dave said, his voice heavy with frustration. "The technology to wake Sarah doesn't exist yet... not on this planet. But I promise you, I'll find a way to bring her back, no matter what it takes."

Emily sobbed harder. "Please, Dave... just don't let us suffer anymore."

"You won't. I swear I'll fix everything," Dave replied, his voice filled with determination. He gently laid Emily back down, watching as her exhaustion took over and she drifted off to sleep again.

With a heavy heart, Dave teleported both of them back to his home, placing Emily carefully in her bed and laying Sarah beside her, still caught in her deep slumber. As he looked at them both, a surge of anger and resolve filled him. Helios would pay for everything he had done.

As soon as Emily was settled, Dave teleported back to where he had left off, ready to confront Helios and bring justice for his sisters.


Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Eternal Nightmares

The dim light in the basement flickered as Dave stood over Helios, who was chained to the wall, unconscious and helpless. Dave stared down at him, his fists clenched. Every ounce of his being demanded justice for his sisters—for the torment they endured. Helios would suffer for the rest of his life, just as he had made Emily and Sarah suffer.

Dave's eyes burned with cold fury as he summoned his power, reaching into Helios' mind. He didn't need physical torture. That would be too easy. No, Helios would face his true punishment within his own nightmares, living through horrors that only someone like Dave, with his enhanced mind control abilities, could create.

As Dave's power wrapped around Helios' mind, he twisted reality within the villain's subconscious. Dave didn't hold back. The nightmares he created were endless loops of torment, where Helios would relive his worst fears, his most agonizing experiences, and moments of sheer terror. And each time, when Helios thought the torture would end, it would start over, trapping him in an infinite cycle of suffering.

The mental anguish would consume him from within, reducing him to nothing more than a hollow shell. Helios stirred slightly, his body twitching as Dave tightened his hold. 

"You'll never have peace," Dave whispered darkly, his voice laced with venom. "For the rest of your life, you'll suffer in a world of nightmares. Just as you forced my sisters to suffer, you'll be trapped in the same hell you created for them."

Helios groaned, his face contorting in agony as the nightmares took hold. But Dave felt no pity. Helios deserved this—he deserved far worse. The monster who had tortured Emily, and reduced Sarah to a comatose state, would never be able to escape the mental prison Dave had constructed for him.

Dave stared at Helios for a long moment, ensuring the mental lock on his nightmares was secure. Helios' life was over in all but body; his mind would be ravaged by terror forever. Satisfied with the punishment, Dave turned his back on the broken man, his thoughts shifting to his family.

Teleporting from the basement, Dave arrived at his parents' house. The familiar surroundings of the home felt oddly foreign after everything that had happened. He stood at the doorstep for a moment, gathering his thoughts. His sisters were safe now, at least for the time being, but there was still so much his family didn't know. He had kept them in the dark for so long, especially about the powers that had changed his life.

Finally, with a deep breath, he opened the door. His mother, Linda, and his father, John, were sitting in the living room. The tension in the air was palpable as they looked up, their expressions a mix of concern and relief.

"Dad. Mom." Dave's voice was low, but steady.

"Dave!" His mother rushed over, pulling him into a tight hug. "Where have you been? Are you alright? And... where are your sisters?"

John stood up, his brows furrowed in confusion. "What's going on, Dave? You just vanished, and we haven't heard from you for days. We've been worried sick!"

Dave sighed, running a hand through his hair as he tried to figure out how to explain the impossible. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you both. I've been... dealing with something. Something huge."

"What happened?" Linda asked, her voice trembling.

Taking a deep breath, Dave stepped back, his eyes meeting theirs. "Emily and Sarah are safe now. But they've been through something horrible." He hesitated, knowing how hard it would be for them to hear the truth. "They were... taken. By someone dangerous."

Linda gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "Taken? Oh my God, are they okay?"

"They're alive," Dave reassured them. "But Sarah... she's in a deep sleep. A coma, basically. And I can't wake her up with anything we have. Not yet, anyway. Emily... she's shaken up, but she's healing."

John's face went pale. "A coma? How could this happen? And who did this?"

Dave's eyes darkened. "His name was Helios. He... he did horrible things to them. But I stopped him." He didn't need to tell them the gruesome details; they had already suffered enough worrying about their children.

"How did you... stop him?" John asked, suspiciously. "How could you even fight someone like that?"

Dave paused, considering how much to reveal. He couldn't tell them about the system, not yet. "I... have powers now, Dad. Powers that I've been keeping secret. They helped me stop him."

Both of his parents stared at him in disbelief. "Powers? What are you talking about?" Linda asked, clearly struggling to comprehend.

"I can't explain everything right now," Dave said, his voice firm. "But I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to bring Sarah back, and make sure nothing like this ever happens again."

The room was silent, his parents too shocked to respond. Dave glanced toward the staircase, where his sisters lay resting. His heart ached as he thought of Sarah, still trapped in her deep sleep.

"I'll protect them, and I'll make sure Helios never hurts anyone again," Dave vowed, his voice filled with resolve.
