Chapter 44 - the newman family reunion (part 2)

When the group reached the bottom of the stairs, Karah yelled at the top of her lungs, "JOSEPH NEWMAN!" The mother's voice echoed throughout the bright stone white halls of the basement laboratory. "COME ON OUT, I KNOW YOU'RE DOWN HERE!"
As she called, several lab assistants stepped into the hall curiously, watching the eventual show to unfold. Meanwhile, Ava looked behind once more to see Patrick's face peeking through the basement staircase door window.

"Mom, I think he might've heard you..." Vinny attempted to ease Karah. The trio stopped in the center room of the laboratory, where conference chairs and tables rest, and where three other halls connect.
"JOSEPH!" the brown haired mom called once more, as shortly afterwards, audible jogging steps were heard to the left hall.
"What's going on Kar...!" Joseph blurted, then stopping at a sudden realization. "Vin-Vinny!?"
"Dad, it's me. I'm back." the son confirmed.
The elder Newman noticed Ava, "Sarah, you... did you manage to bring him back!? I-I thought you were joking around..."
Ava chuckled at the circumstances of her lies, "Well, I thought I would make it a surprise..." she suddenly had to think of a reason how she found him, "He, He was at the resort I was staying at, and he asked for help. I asked him what was going on, and why he was alone...and your son explained everything. That's how I ended up here."
"So, it makes sense now, you found Vinny, and brought him here. Then you hoped that I would fix your obesity issue, and reveal to me this revelation." Joseph stated.
"Yes... that was the plan to begin with." the blonde explained.
Joseph remained quiet for some time, in thought. All was disrupted but Karah, yelling "You still havent-"

"You're a pretty good liar, Sarah." Joseph grinned nefariously cutting the mom off, "You almost got me there." As the creator spoke, two security guards snuck behind Ava and grabbed her arms, restraining her. "Should I say your real name is Ava Nennington!"
"LET ME GO!" Ava cried, her purse stripped off of her body, and onto the ground.
"It was clever of you to send the money I generously provided to your mother, but she was ultimately your downfall, as once I looked up the names, my database recorded a Ava Nennington.... You! It was incredibly easy to find out who you are once I had your real identity. Your social media gives everything away!"
"Joseph! Stop this right now!" Karah yelled, "I don't care about all this, you have much to answer!"
"Shut up bitch!" the husband yelled back, silencing her completely.
"I suspect it wouldn't be a far off assumption that you've met a man named Patrick?" he drew to Ava, "Answer me!"
Ava remained quiet, partially out of fear, but to keep Patrick out of it. Joseph slapped her across the cheek. "I see... silence is an answer itself. "Karah, my beautiful wife, you're so ignorant about everything. Let me fill you in then. Days ago, Vinny here mysteriously disappeared, and stole one of my projects. He ran off with it and became that silly cartoon girl you see in his room."
"Wha? That's insane!" the mother disagreed.
He then mentioned, "To have that happened, it truly made me sad, as I failed to raise a obedient son who understands the Newman perspective in life. I have deep regrets not being the father I SHOULD'VE been, instead being too engrossed in my own job that I couldn't teach him how to be a TRUE Newman....and for that, I've failed.

"Shut up Dad! I am a Newman!" Vinny yelled in frustration.
"Silence! You're not my son, you'd forgo everything that your family stood for...for a stilly character created in Japan! Now SIT DOWN! I have no words for you Vincent, or should I say by what you want to be identified with, Nayami!" the offspring submissively sat.
"Joseph Michael Newman, stop this right now, you're taking things too far!" Karah complained. "You're one step away from tearing this family apart... one step away from having everything you made ruined. Is that what you want!?"


"Karah...Karah, you don't have the slightest clue how HARD I've worked on 'Sweet Dreams'... you don't even realize that you've had it yourself!"
"What!?" the lady Newman blurted, "I worked hard for my body!"
"Oh, that's right, you were one of the first testers of mine...you were slowly but surely dosed with it unknowingly a long time ago. You thought your diet and exercise were working, but heh, all that was for show."
The words slammed the mother hard, "That's crazy, why would knowingly do that...to the one you love!?"
"Why not? I stand by my work, and seeing the changes before my eyes reflect that."
"Y-you're psychopath..." she voiced in pure anger, "....and a sociopath as well!"
"I'm aware of how unethical I've been, and I'm sure Vinny has probably even explained it to you beforehand... but like I said, he doesn't comprehend the Newman perspective - To make dreams into reality at all costs! To only see your wants!" Joseph stepped to the seated Vinny, "...and that's why you'll never be successful. Until you understand that... look at the world that way, then you'll never find success, you'll just wallow in your room, masturbaing to a fictional character created by some lowly artist in a foreign country!"

"Then ask me this..." Vinny rose up, "...what sort of dream you have that involves sacrificing everything you know and love... because that's what happening right now! You're ruining everything!"
"It won't matter in the long run..." he pulled out a 'Sweet Dreams' injection pen, "With this, I can be who I've always wanted to be. With this people can live the lives they've always wanted. With this humanity will evolve! My dream is to carve that legacy into the future - the Newman family - responsible for creating the new humanity!" he bellowed.
"...and you're going to be responsible for its downfall..." Ava mentioned. "Patrick was right. You're evil... killing a mother and kidnapping her daughter, all in the name of science, and taking her away again from the only father figure she had....and for what reason? To experiment on her?"
"Ah, ah, ah... you're getting too far ahead in my grand plans." the creator laughed, "Reason one: I need her to bring my son back. He's going to be my successor no matter what, and trust me, I'll find a way to make him into what I want. Reason Two: Anna's powers are something straight from God himself. If I could find out how to replicate her power, or make more of her, then disease, death, and in your case, obesity, will be nothing. She's the puzzle piece in my grand dream."

Joseph spun the drugged pen around in his hands, "Reason Three: She's going to be the next coming of Jesus! That's right, you've heard me, I'll uplift her status more than human. A quarter of the world's population will bow down to her, and preach in her name, and as her father, I'll be the one pulling the strings. The world is in my hands, as I will be the sole proprietor of miracles! Dreams will become reality!"
"You've really gone off the deep end..." Karah commented, distracting her husband.
"Wha-!?" Joesph was suddenly tackled by Vinny. Knocking him and his 'Sweet Dreams' pen onto the floor. One of the security guards released Ava, to assist his employer. However, the twenty three year old, wasn't strong enough to break free from a single man as he had her pinned against the wall. Vinny rolled off of his father, realizing help was on the way for him. Suddenly, before other security guard could get a hold of Vinny, Patrick lept into action, slamming the man against the wall, knocking him out completely, then charged at the other whom held Ava in captivity, freeing her.

"Thank you..." Ava smiled at Patrick as they locked eyes.
BLAM! Incredibly loud blast shocked the room, causing Ava to temporarily lose hearing. Her eyes caught wind of blood all over Patrick, and herself, with the lover collapsing to the ground. Time slowed as she looked at the aggressor - Joseph newman clutched a revolver in his hand. In that moment, Ava couldn't think, act or do anything, but to watch as the person she loved fall to the ground, and the man responsible for it.

"YOU-YOU BASTARD!" Vinny yelled, as his mother watched in complete horror. "I'm gonna...I'm gonna kill you for this!" he had the 'Sweet Dreams' injection device on his hand, pressing it into his wrist.
"Don't you DARE!" Joseph fired his gun, strikning him on the shoulder, and missing his other shot. Seeing what Vinny attempted to do, sparked action in Ava. The desperate woman crawled over to her purse and grabbed her own injection pen, pressing it into her arm. Meanwhile, the elder Newman rose, and walked to Vinny whom quickly transformed into Nayami, the wound remaining persistent. Before he could get to him/her, Karah grabbed Joseph's gun wielding arm, attempting to remove it from his possession. The husband smacked his wife with the handle of the firearm, swatting her away.
"You're no longer my son." the father disapprovingly said, cocking the hammer, readying to give the coup de gras on Nayami.

As he pulled the trigger, a powerful force pushed him on the floor, causing the his shot to miss completely, hitting the wall. Ava, now twice the mass she was, had the weight to compete with a fully grown man. She clumsily rose to her feet, her fatty body jiggling and quivering, the formerly loose clothes quickly becoming more and more flush against the skin with rapid, accelerating growth of adipose tissue. On the ground, Joseph fired his gun multiple times, emptying the cylinder. But with each shot, the rounds made contact, and miraculously bounced off of her.

"Your 'Sweet Dreams' have now come to haunt you..." Ava waddled to him, "It's now going to be your nightmare..." the now extremely obese woman collapsed, pinning down with her ever increasing weight. Moans and yells were muffled by the blonde's breast meat, as it engulfed Joseph's head completely, slowly suffocating him until he moved no more.
