A Bio-Weapon’s Rhapsody
Chapter 341: In the name Alexakind! Alexa is innocent!
[Big Brother] was really mad. Alexa now that was looking around noticed it, there wasn't anyone around. The other stuff around them was moving from place to place, but no actual people was around. The machines did it all by themselves.
A self driving car passed near them and moved some stuff out of the taxi they took here and then went its way. And the stuff they took from their taxi? It was the Taxi guy!
Alexa even waved at him as he went by, the guy for some reason was lowering himself into the seat pretending to not be there, did he work as a seat covering on his side job? Weird guy, that was why Alexa usually didn't speak with Taxi guys, they were weird.
But that was not important! [Fan Girl]! She hadn't answered!
"I am a Support Minion." She said between words, her hands were trembling, and she kept looking around, was she looking for something? "At best I am a D-List…"
"Spare me the lies, Bella Campbell." [Big Brother] frowned, he then snapped his fingers and [Fan Girl] seemed to receive a discharge.
"No bullying!" Alexa said hitting [Big Brother] from the side, "She is Ale's fren!"
"I am not bullying her." [Big Brother] said shaking his head, he didn't turn to look at Alexa tho, "She just tried to run away, because that's the best thing you do right? You run."
She did? Alexa frowned too, why would she try to run?
"You are registered on the B-list by the way." [Big Brother] raised his hand and a blue screen materialized beside them, on the blue screen was a picture of [Fan Girl] floating above the city with a hand touching the side of her helmet, "Sustained flying with no external help, high accuracy sensory scouting and fast response to surprise attacks. All enough to put you on the B-list, more so since you showcased the ability to create strong wind currents at high pressure… Good way of faking your [Core Power]."
"So what!" [Fan Girl] lashed out, wind cutters flying at [Big Brother]! Dodge!
Zap
Only for arcs of lightning blocked or shot them down, cool.
"Even if that was your actual power, depending on the application that would put you on the A-Lists. But since it isn't… And we have records of you being a [Spatial Core]. You are at worst in the A-list." [Big Brother] showed the records of [Fan Girl] teleporting to the moon, the expected range and all the boring stuff that he had!
Boring! Alexa wants action! Suspense! Terror! Something more fun!
"So I ask again." [Big Brother] spoke as spears made out of Lightning materialized behind him, all pointed at [Fan Girl], "How was a [Spatial Core User] caught by surprise? How did you not see them pointing FUCKING BOLTERSIN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF MY SISTER!!!"
"They shouldn't have shot!" [Fan Girl] lashed out, instead of throwing more wind cutters, Alexa saw a wall of [Space Mana] trying to latch onto [Big Brother], by what Alexa saw she had just tried to throw him to the moon?
To the moon!
"■■■■■■■■■■" [Big Brother] said something in a language that Alexa didn't understand, it sounded more like static than anything, which was weird, Alexa should be able to understand any language they spoke here though. "You bitch, that was uncalled for."
"You don't have any right to complain!" [Fan Girl] said as another wave was being built up, but this time one of the spears behind [Big Brother] was shot and the build up was destabilized before it could form, "Gah!"
"How can't I complain? Your excuse was 'The enemies weren't supposed to shot at me!', how stupid are you? Why wouldn't they shoot at you! They are hostiles!" [Big Brother] screamed back at [Fan Girl] as he pulled out a [Gun] from within his lab coat.
He wasn't supposed to have those, the lab coats were for scientific stuff! The [Gun] was not a science thing!
"So then what?" [Big Brother] asked as he leveled the [Gun] at [Fan Girl]'s head, "Does that mean that if I pull the trigger you won't die? Is that what you are telling me right now? Want to test it? I'll apologize to Ale later. No wait, why the hell should I apologize? You had the means to know the danger, you could have even teleported straight to the plane if you wanted. Or better yet, get out of the mana disruption area. FUCKING CALL ME, and I would just set up another plane. Do you have any idea how many stupid planes I have?"
"That's how it had been before!" [Fan Girl] screamed, "Every time something actually dangerous was going to happen, or should have happened something got in the way! How was I supposed to know this one time it wouldn't!?!?!?"
"Hah?" [Big Brother] staggered back at that, "… Did I zap you too hard? Sapphire, did I zap her too hard?"
[Sapphire]?
"[Her EEG seems normal enough for someone who was just tased. Let me check… Nope, she is as healthy as a normal Core user her age and build. She could use with less alcohol on her system though.]" The voice of a woman spoke around them. Alexa couldn't see her though, and Alexa should be able to see her.
That was cheating! That [Sapphire] person was cheating!
"When we have been in actual danger, something gets in the way." [Fan Girl] said again, "When we are in actual danger I mean, not stupid danger, not fake danger. Actual death chilling danger."
"Elaborate." [Big Brother] said as he put his weapon away, the lightning spears didn't stop floating though. "Eduardo will corroborate."
Then as he spoke the sound of something very heave crashing into the ground sounded behind them, Alexa even jumped!
[Meat Shield] had been released!
"First, our first mission. The enemy gunners didn't shot at anyone but Golem." [Fan Girl] pointed at [Meat Shield]" They could have tried hitting or pointing at any of the non gun resistant targets, I was even ready to teleport away in case they pointed my way. But they all wasted their bullets on Ed."
"That would be accurate." [Meat Shield] said as he stood up, his legs were more centered, as if he was ready to react and move accordingly to the situation. "But they did shot someone else, they shot at Alexandra."
"They emptied their guns on someone who walked it off and was as if nothing happened two hours later." [Fan Girl] smirked, "Yeah, so much danger went her way. Don't know how she survived."
"Next example." [Big Brother] didn't seem convinced by that. "She fought against Chrysalis, the psycho. Got split in two, her body got incinerated, how is that for danger is real?"
"She staged the whole thing." [Fan Girl] pointed at Alexa, "And she enjoyed the drama, then walked off into the sewers were she met The Spider. And walked off of that one too."
"I did not know that bit." [Big Brother] said turning to Alexa, "You met Samuel?"
"Alexa met the Spider person, but let Alexandra dealt with him." Alexa said nodding, "Alexandra seemed to enjoy dealing with him more."
"I bet she enjoyed it." [Fan Girl] nodded with a knowing smile, so Alexa was right after all!
"So you see, whenever she is in some degree of danger. Everything works out fine in the end." [Fan Girl] shrugged, "So once is luck, two is chance, three or more? Or do you want me to point out the bank heist? You were there too after all."
"… The same bank heist were [The Scrambler] and [The Theater Master] almost end up in a conflict?" [Big Brother] sighed, "The same one I ended up intervening…"
There was something on his eyes as the figure of [Big Brother] returned to normal, following his transformation to his normal form a sigh left him, "Fine, even so. You should not leave the safety of other people to luck. Just because they seem to have good luck, that is irresponsible, and I'll not condone such thinking."
But Alexa was very lucky! Alexa knew it better than anyone! Alexa was this cute, how could she not be lucky?
"If the world is conspiring to make it so our world looks more like a morning cartoon, who am I to complain?" [Fan Girl] shrugged as [Big Brother] was still glaring at her, "It worked out, I did not expect it to get that bad… But we made it, didn't we?"
"… That is a dangerous train of thought to have." [Big Brother] pointed at [Meat Shield], "Your friend was one step away from dead. Make no mistakes, if I hadn't prepared those med-pods as insurance. He would not have woken up."
"… But…" [Fan Girl] was about to say something when [Big Brother] raised his finger in a silence you heathen! motion.
"No buts, no questions or doubts. I am telling you." [Big Brother] then made a motion with his hand and the blue screen that had been hovering changed to show a picture of [Meat Shield], "He was one step away from having his mana attune to the ambient mana, and here is a secret for you. Mana is the fuel for our souls. The only reason your friend is not a mindless pile of rocks is because his [Core] is still attuned to his mana. And that is what keeps it alive."
"That's wrong tho." Alexa said, she didn't raise her hand this time, since this was [Big Brother], he was always paying attention to Alexa.
"How so?" [Meat Shield] was the one to speak, "When you and Ale took a sample of my Core it hurt, almost as if you were carving a piece of my soul, so what Alexanders is saying doesn't sound off."
"[Core] is where the bits that make you [You] are, that was true." Alexa said nodding sagely, "But it isn't a soul what is there but your [Consciousness Stream], they are not the same."
"It sounds the same to me." [Fan Girl] pointed out, "They are all that we are right? What's that but a soul?"
"The soul is a metaphysical explanation that wants to encapsulate who we are in an spiritual way." [Big Brother] said in a dismissive tone, "I also don't like the idea of how people describe it, like living this way or that way will [Taint] you in some way. But it was the best example to get it to you how close you were of being responsible for the termination of the [EGO] of your friend."
"But it is important to know the difference!" Alexa complained, "You can't nom a soul, but Alexa can nom a [Consciousness stream]!"
Alexa had done that before after all.
"…Well that's horrifying to know." [Fan Girl] said shuddering just a little.
"Don't think about it." [Big Brother] said shaking his head, "Not a word Sapphire. Yes… Yes I know you said it before… How the hell was I supposed to even know that? I barely get to speak with her before! I mean… yeah… Okay yes you said so… But… Fine."
What was the evil woman saying! Alexa couldn't hear her!
"[Main Core]! Do the thing!" Alexa said pointing at the camera!
"…" "…" "… Huh.. she left?"
Three reactions, all different… well not really, two had been the same, just waiting and looking what Alexa was going to do, the only different had been [Big Brother] looking weirdly at Alexa.
"Just to make sure." [Big Brother] said turning to Alexa, "Did you ever spoke to Sapphire before? During some of the test rounds? Or did she ever give you something?"
"Did she?" Alexa said tilting her head 75° to the right amount to look as cute as it was Alexabily possible for Alexakind! "Alexa has never seen the porple woman before, the first time she saw her was when Alexa saw it with [Big Brother] that time! Or was it Ale the one who saw her? Anyway, that was the first time!"
Alexa, however, knew many things about her! Like how she was a stalker! Or how she wanted [Big Brother] just because he ignored her! Or how she was in reality an old hag pretending to be the same age as [Big Brother] when in reality she was older!
Granted, [Big Brother] was old too, but he would get better! [Big Brother] always got better! So that was not an issue! It would make the hag even more of a criminal, since she would be going after an even younger [Big Brother]!
"I see…" [Big Brother] did, in fact, not see anything! Because Alexa hadn't let him see anything, muahahahahaha. "So if she had something to do with it, then probably she did it in secret… Sapphire… What are you after…"
"No no, The porple woman didn't do anything on this case." Alexa said shaking her head, "Alexa is a self made Alexa! No one had a hand on it! If someone had a hand on it it was [Big Brother] first and foremost!"
"… Alexa, please mind your words." [Big Brother] said covering his face with a hand, was that a facepalm, "That sounds so wrong in so many levels."
"But [Big Brother] helped make Alexa!" Alexa complained, "That wasn't a lie! It's the [Truth]!"
"… So instead of Teenage mom problems, are these Teenage dad problems?" [Fan Girl] said giggling on the side, "Oh god, that's hilarious. It puts a whole new level to the Daddy Alexanders thing that Ale said the other day!"
And [Fan Girl] continued laughing like a madman, she was broken! [Fan Girl] was broken!
"Why couldn't you just be…" [Big Brother] sighed yet again, "Leave it, the point is. You are free to gamble with your life and trust fate or the divine providence. But do not leave the [Fate] of my sister to lady luck."
"Aren't Saintsworths the most lucky people in the world?" [Fan Girl] said between laughter, "You should be encouraging me to follow fate's whims."
"There is no such thing as [Luck] or [Fate] in this world, I refuse to believe in it." [Big Brother] said in his seriouss face again, "And if there is, there is nothing more unlucky than a blood born Saintsworths. Or would you call it luck to be born under the Golden Eagle? To have the expectations of the whole [World] upon you, but nothing of the advantages? Because you haven't proved yourself?"
"…That's rough buddy." [Fan Girl] shrugged as she spoke, "Can't relate, my whole world apparently is in an alternate dimension according to what Ale found out. Oh right, how the hell did Ale discover a whole alternate dimension using Saintsworths technology?"
"…I beg your pardon?" [Big Brother] said confused, "We don't have exorealities programs… Or not under my umbrella."
"… Then what did Ale use?" [Fan Girl] then turned to Alexa, as if Alexa had all the answers! Alexa did not!
"Alexa is innocent!" So Alexa declared her innocence! Blame Ale when she wakes up! She is the one who said it!
