Overwhelming Pain

Chapter 13

"F-Felix, what are we gonna do?" Domienic, the lilac skin coloured man, emotion of fear asked while he kept on following Felix. Obviously concerned about the event.

Felix with his head full of chaotic thoughts walks back and forth in the room while the other emotions are discussing about the possible things that they can do in order to get Pain back in the headquarters without an emotion going out from it. And well, it is not a peaceful discussion.

"Shut up, Gushelle!" Regan yelled at the soft mint coloured skin woman that was busy filing her nails and was interrupted by Regan's reply with her remark. The two have been throwing rebuts and insults towards each other for a couple of minutes now and none of them are able to stop them.

"No! Shut up! We are gathered here today to acknowledge everyone's thoughts so you have no rights!" Gushelle replied.

"Acknowledge my ass! And you—!" Regan exclaimed as he pointed at Domienic. Both Felix and him stopped walking back and forth as they looked at Regan.

"Y-Yes?"

"Sit the f*ck down! You're making my eyes hurt!" He raised his voice. Unhesitatingly, Domienic nodded firmly. "Y-Yes, sir!" he replied with fear in his voice then he sits stiffly on a swivel chair, bringing a smirk on Regan's face.

Felix just stared at them emotionlessly.

"Ah, emotion of anger really just brings chaos to us emotions, am I right?" the skinny ectomorph, light orange skin coloured man, the emotion of satisfaction butted in as he puts both of his feet on top of the table while sitting on the swivel chair, leaning his back on it.

"God, Zandovol." Shangbei mumbled, mentioning his name.

Regan balled his hands into a fist as he faced Zandovol. "What are you trying to imply?" he asked, refraining himself to burst out of anger.

"Regan, calm dow—" Shangbei's words got cut off when she was about to stand in between the two men but Gushelle pulled her back, holding her wrist.

"Geez, let them. They're nothing but childish emotions." Gushelle uttered. Only Shangbei heard it.

"I'm implying that maybe you should cease to exist." Zandovol said straightforwardly.

"Uh huh? And then?" Regan asked with a hint of sarcasm can be heard in his voice as he slowly approached Zandovol who is also slowly getting up from sitting on the swivel chair.

"You should go back in your cryocapsule where you belong." Zandovol said as he stares deeply at Regan that is now giving him a piercing glare as they stood infront of each other, face to face.

"Oh yeah?" Regan raised his fist on the air but before he could swing it across Zandovol's face. "Stop." Felix held his wrist.

"Let's stop the violence, shall we?" Felix stated as he stares at Regan. Regan looked at him and the hot tension that was once between Zandovol and Regan is passed on Felix.

Regan plastered an amused smirk on his face. "Hm." He harshly swat Felix's hand away.

"Stop that now. We don't have time for that," Shangbei said as the three of them proceeds to sit on different swivel chair away from each other. Shangbei crossed her arms as she looked at everyone. "What we need to do is to find Pain as soon as possible." She continued.

"How the f*ck did that stupid ass kid open the f*cking portal anyways?" Regan started again.

"C-Can we please refrain from using strong languages?" Boreign asked with a soft tone of her voice. Regan rolled his eyes.

"Can we please refrai— Shut the f*ck up, Boreign!" Regan exclaimed again after he mock Boreign's way of speaking. The woman looked away from him, slightly offended with his actions.

"For f*ck's sake, Regan! Let us discuss this matter in a calm way!" Felix stated, slightly raising his voice as he can feel the annoyance slowly ruling his head.

The devious smirk appeared on Regan's face once again. "Ah," he released a small scoff before continuing with a sarcastic tone. "Dominating now, are we?"

Felix walked towards him, making him stand up and approach Felix as well. The women looked at them like they have enough with these childish acts but still they stood face to face.

"What?" Regan asked in a warning tone.

"I've been dominating ever since, Regan. I am the first emotion that has ever gained concious. I am your superior. I am the main emotion," he said, gritting his teeth.

"You will listen to me whether you like it or not." He added.

"Now if you don't wanna be in this discussion with us and since you told me that you're ungrateful for gaining conscious and want to go back to your cryocapsule," the corner of his lips lifted as he pauses for a moment. "You may leave." He finishes off.

The other emotions looked at them, completely speechless with Felix's remarks as they were informed about Regan's ungratefulness.

With a glare, "You won today. Congrats." Regan said then he turned his back on everybody as he leaves the room with not a single sound of complain coming out from his mouth.

The moment he stepped out from the room, everybody heaved a deep sigh. Feeling relieved.

"God, that man is an asshole." Gushelle commented, still filing her nails. "Just let it slide, he's an emotion of anger afterall." Boreign said with her usual soft tone.

"N-Now that h-he's gone," all of the emotions' eyes landed their gaze at Domienic who's trying to say something. "I-I suppose we can discuss a-about Mr. Pain n-now?" he asked, still stuttering, as how an emotion of fear should be.

Felix nodded in agreement. "Yes," he said. "And I have already came up with a plan." He added as he presses his palms on the table.

"Really?" Shangbei asked.

Zandovol clapped his hands. "Surpreendente! (Amazing!)" He commented as he's currently sitting on a swivel chair next to Domienic. "See this is why you're the main emotion and not that grumpy tomato looking emotion!" he added.

"What's a tomato?" with her eyebrows knitted, Gushelle asked.

"I don't know either! It just came in my mind." Zandovol shrugged. "Instincts, I guess."

Felix cleared his throat.

"G-Guys, we're getting off topic here." Domienic informed. Zandovol then gestured his hands. "Apologies." He said. Felix nodded at Zandovol then at Domienic as a form of gratitude for gathering everyone's attention back.

Felix looked at everyone, hesitating if he should say such thing knowing that they will definitely protest with his decision. But they know nothing. They're only emotions and they lived because people felt them. They don't have someone superior who knows everything. The only superior they have is Felix, and his knowledge is limited since he only gained conscious normally like how other emotions did.

"I will step out from the portal." He started. The emotions' eyes widened as if they heard a massive nonsense.

Gushelle bursted out laughing. "HAHAHAHAHA, W-WHAT?!" then her faced shifted into a serious one all of the sudden. "Are you crazy?!" she continued.

"F-Felix, that's absurd!" Boreign commented.

"Eu discordo dessa decisão! (I disagree with this decision!)" Zandovol said.

Fixing his glasses, "I-I agree with their d-decision disagreeing with y-your decision, Mr. Felix..." Domienic said.

Shangbei moved closer to Felix. "Are you out of your mind? It's dangerous, Felix. We don't know anything about the humans' place and what if you can't survive on Earth?" Shangbei said.

"It's like you're saying that looking for Pain is useless." Felix said.

"No, that's not really what I was saying—"

"Pain's cryocapsule's led light is still on. Which means he exists yet. He's just somewhere around the Earth." Felix explained.

"How come I don't know anything about the led light?" Gushelle butted in, knitting her eyebrows, extremely confuse.

"I agree, I thought it was just a little disco light for us." Zandovol said.

"What's a disco?" Gushelle asked.

"No idea, it just popped in my mind and I said it."

"Guys," Boreign called them out as they were going off topic once again.

"The earth is massive, Felix." Shangbei informed, going back on track of the topic.

"The globe in our main chamber that points out which part of earth feels every emotions according to their color representations isn't there for nothing, Shangbei." Felix shots back.

They all looked at them both as they feel the tension growing in between them.

Shangbei pursed her lips into thin line before speaking. "I'm just concerned."

"You don't have to." Felix looks at everyone. "I will do what I must do," he says.

"I am not the superior for nothing."
