The Poyomon didn't protest, just looking up at his Chosen with sad, worried eyes along with Arte. Donnie straightened up as he saw Wheeljack pick up the knife, which eh recognized as the one that Hiccup used to stab his arm to try and stop him. He still had the scar from it, just another one added to the collection that was forming on his left arm.

But he didn't struggle either, his body still trembling. He closed his eyes and bit at his lip, knowing that he was about to cry for probably the hundredth time int he past few weeks. But he didn't want to, he had cried too many times already. He didn't want to anymore.]
