Chapter 14 – Alyssia's day at the Zoo
At the zoo, Tyro, Ala, Angelo, Sora, Sopheria, Alyssia, Ricky, Thorn, Lolli, Fortune, Red (THOJATUW) the Doc, the two Axls and the Red Alert (BD) were amazed that the zoo has different animals. The maverick hunters and the Red Alert (THOJATUW) were very busy to their jobs.
"Wow! So many animals! I hope there are dinosaurs in there," Angelo amazed.
"There are no dinosaurs in here," Red (THOJATUW) reminded.
"But why-"
"Barney is just a kid show, Angelo,"
"I wondered there are baby penguins in here," Tyro wondered. She noticed that Axl (THOJATUW) is looking at the doc. "Axl, is there something wrong?" she asked.
Axl (THOJATUW) looked at her. "Oh! Nothing. I was just looking for tigers," he replied.
"I should find the map," Sora looked over the places.
Alyssia smiled, looking at a stand. "There are some maps over there." She replied. Ala smiled, grabbing one. "I've never been here before..." she muttered, as she handed the map to Sora.
"Axl... what's wrong?" The Doc asked, looking up at him. "Don't dare try feeding me to those over grown felines." he finished with a glare
"Whoa! So many places. We should follow the map. It's a tour, you know," Sora said.
"We're going to see the birds first," Tyro pointed at the map.
"I'm just checking on you. I just remembered we're watching Science movie and I fell asleep. I don't know what are you doing after I fell asleep," Axl (THOJATUW) chuckled.
"Alright." Alyssia smiled.
"I fell off the couch. I couldn't move after that." The Doc replied.
"Oh..." Axl (THOJATUW) frowned.
"Axl, we're going to see the birds," Sora said.
"Alright," Axl (THOJATUW) nodded.
They went to the huge cage of birds. The birds are different kinds and colors. They're flying around. The people amazed.
"Wow! So pretty!" Tyro amazed.
Alyssia smiled, petting one's head. It didn't even try to bite her.
The Doc sighed. "Any reason why you all dragged me here?" he asked.
"Sora invited you because she wants you to spend time with Alyssia. After all, we celebrate about her return. I think she's happy that you're here," Axl (THOJATUW) answered.
Sora noticed that Axl (THOJATUW) and the Doc talked each other. Sopheria came closer to her.
"They're... chatting. I thought the doc hates Axl," she raised a brow.
"Yeah but they were having a good time last night," Sora replied. She noticed that Sopheria has an eagle on her head. "Sophie, please don't bring the eagle here. You know that it's a man-eating eagle," she scolded.
"Hm?" Alyssia looked at them.
Doc sighed. "She certainly does make me feel old." he stated
Next, they went to the lions, tigers, bears and pandas. The lions are fighting. The tigers are walking. The bears are taking care the babies. The pandas are eating the plants.
"Look, Red! The lions are having the battle for the lion king," Angelo pointed out.
"They're always fight for the lioness," Red (THOJATUW) sighed.
"Aaw! Alyssia, look at the baby bears," Tyro cooed.
"Time for the picture!" Sora took the picture from her IPhone.
"Um... Doc, you should stay away from them because the lions and tigers are carnivores," Axl (THOJATUW) warned and worried about the Doc.
"Axl... I am well aware of that. I'm a Scientist professor for Christ's sake." he replied, jumping out of his arms.
"Wah!"" Axl (THOJATUW) shocked.
Next are the monkeys and gorillas. The monkeys are swinging around the vines. The gorillas are sleeping. Angelo is going to go in to wake the gorillas but Red (THOJATUW) stopped him.
"I wish Signas will babysit on you," Red (THOJATUW) hissed.
Tyro, Sora and Sopheria are watching the monkeys. While they're watching, Sora spotted something.
"Girls, look! The monkeys are doing yaoi!" she pointed.
"What are they doing?" Tyro asked.
"Aah! Why they did that in PUBLIC!" Sopheria shocked.
"What are they doing?" Alyssia, asked, looking with her curious eyes.
Doc sighed. "Cycle of life my dear." he muttered.
"Err..." Axl (THOJATUW) didn't know what to do but the Doc didn't shock at seeing the monkeys' weirdness.
After that, they're having lunch together. They are eating sandwiches, fruits, orange juice and ice water. Axl (THOJATUW) was sitting beside Alyssia and the doc. Tyro was sitting next to him. She checked that the doc is not doing wrong with Axl (THOJATUW).
Alyssia looked pale. As if scarred for life. "I can't eat..." she mumbled.
"And... you've scarred my daughter..." The Doc muttered.
"Huh! So sorry! Tyro, Alyssia needs space!" Axl (THOJATUW) moved Tyro aside.
"Oh! Okay!" Tyro followed. They're away from Alyssia and the doc. "She's afraid of closed space just like Ricky," she commented.
"Sorry, Doc!" Axl (THOJATUW) apologized.
"Scarred, means that she has seen something she can't unseen... Claustrophobic is the fear of being scared. She isn't scared." Doc commented. "Idiots..." he mumbled.
"I'm not scared of you guys..." she stated.
"Axl." Axl (BD) called, poking his head. "Yo."
"Oh! Okie dokie, Alyssia, Next will be the aquarium," Tyro smiled.
"O-okay..." Alyssia replied nervously. "T-those Monkeys... w-what were they doing...?"
"I have no idea. Papa Bear didn't tell me," Tyro replied.
"Yo! What's up, Axl?" Axl (THOJATUW) greeted with a smile.
"Get up for me." Axl (BD) replied. "I need to talk with ya." he stated.
Axl (THOJATUW) got up and followed his other self. "So, what is it, about the monkeys?" he asked.
"Yes..." Axl (BD) replied, sighing. "I seriously think that broke the kid." he chuckled.
"Oh! I think the monkeys don't have brains about privacy," Axl (THOJATUW) smiled and sweat dropped.
"I know that... has Alyssia been alright?" Axl (BD) asked.
"Yup! She's alright," Axl (THOJATUW) nodded.
"Good. I'm only asking because she's with you guys." Axl (BD) replied.
"Yes, Alyssia is very nice girl. She cured my eyes since I was on Nephilim mode. You told me that she took care of you, right?" Axl (THOJATUW) remembered. "Is there a problem?" he asked.
"No, I just wanted to check on her..." Axl (BD) replied. "She did help me." he smiled.
"Okay then. Well, I better go back," Axl (THOJATUW) said.
"Speaking of Alyssia... what's with you and the Doc?" Axl (BD) asked.
"Hmm... Nothing. We're just a normal talk. That's all. He didn't do anything to me," Axl (THOJATUW) replied.
"Be careful." Axl (BD) replied.
"I will," Axl (THOJATUW) nodded.
After lunchtime, they're watching the fishes and other sea creatures swimming in the aquarium. Axl (THOJATUW) was thinking about his other self, the doc and the others. He walked at the other room to see the starfishes and seahorses alone. His mind felt confused.
"Axl, is there something in your mind?" Sora asked.
"Well, Axl and I talked about Alyssia... Then, he asked about me and the doc... It's weird that we supposed to be enemies because Tyro hates him that he hurt Ala... But it's strange... He told me that I was protective. He amazed about my abilities. He explained to me that he's very sick and old. Like he has a mental disorder. I felt sad about him. He's telling the truth about it... I guess I need to know about him more," Axl (THOJATUW) rubbed his temple.
"You're right... If the person has metal problem and illness, he or she needs someone to care and understand their conditions," Sora nodded.
"Also, he told me that he doesn't know who he's talking too anymore," he added.
Sora placed her hand on Axl (THOJATUW)'s shoulder. "Then, talk or spend time with him more. He's still remember you and he's pretty fine with it... The good news is he didn't hurt Ala and Axl because Alyssia is there," she said.
"Also, Tyro," Axl (THOJATUW) added.
"Hey! Listen, if he's in a good mood to spend time with you, it's fine and a good thing to share the friendship. If he hurts you, you need to stay away for a while. It depends on you if you want check on him. Stay cool, alright?" Sora blinked and went back to others.
After the aquarium, they went to the baby penguins. They enjoyed playing with them.
"Aw! So cute! Papa Bear, take a picture of us," Tyro suggested.
"Okie dokie!" Angelo took a picture of all of them as a family photo.
"Did you know that Penguins always stay within groups when hunting?" Doc asked, "We did not know that." Alyssia replied, smiling. "I'm just playing along because he's out of it again..." she whispered to Axl (THOJATUW).
Ala smiled, looking at them. "I wish I could keep one, but I don't think Egypt would like it." she stated. "Yeah... Egypt's mean." Axl (BD) chuckled.
Axl (THOJATUW) looked at them, talking. Sora and Sopheria were playing the baby penguins. Angelo cooed them.
"OMG! He's so fluffy!" He snuggled.
"I don't think you should be playing with them, Angelo." Ala stated.
"Huh! Where's Tyro?" Sora asked. Everyone is looking around.
"She's not here. I think she needs to go to the bathroom," Sopheria guessed.
"But she needs to ask me for permission. Baby Cake is always ask me for permission," Angelo said.
"I think she's in a- Huh?" Axl (THOJATUW) 's eyes are glowing red that he saw the vision of Tyro again.
"What's wrong?" Alyssia asked.
Axl (THOJATUW) saw Tyro in his vision. She was knocked out by a strange man. "$** ! She was kidnapped!" Axl (THOJATUW) shocked and ran outside.
"Hey! Axl, wait!" Red shouted.
"His Nephilim eyes saw something. We should follow him," Angelo followed him.
Axl (THOJATUW) ran as fast as he can. He found them at the big circle with no people around. Tyro is lying on the ground and the man who kidnapped her is Axl's evil version.
"No *$#ing way!" Axl (THOJATUW) shocked.
The evil Axl summoned an unbreakable shield to block the surroundings. Only Tyro, Axl (THOJATUW) and himself were inside.
"What's going on?" Ala asked. Alyssia looked at Red nervously.
All of them noticed that Axl (THOJATUW), Tyro and Evil Axl were inside the barrier.
"I don't know... but I think it's a battle in one-on-one," Red (THOJATUW) replied.
"Oh no! Baby Cake!" Angelo shocked.
"That Evil Axl is the glitch," Sora said.
"Bwahahaha!" The Evil Axl laughed.
"What are you laughing about? Why are you kidnap Tyro?!" Axl (THOJATUW) asked as he glared at him.
"How do we get in there?" Axl (BD) asked.
"I'll manage." Thorn muttered, walking up to it, cracking her knuckles.
"I don't think you can fix everything by punching everything." Ala replied.
"Is there a way I can hack it?" Ricky asked, looking at the barrier curiously. "I don't think so..." Ala replied.
"There's gotta be a way though!" Lolli exclaimed.
"Useless fools, you cannot break this barrier if that devil defeats me," the evil Axl stated.
"Who's calling me a devil? You're the devil!" Axl (THOJATUW) shouted.
"Well, All I know that you failed to protect Tyronica from the deadly blow that Sigma blasted. You're only using your power by your anger or Tyronica got hurt. You're so weak to protect her. I thought you're Tyronica's guardian angel. You're only just a weakling," the Evil Axl smirked.
Axl (THOJATUW) glared at him with his glowing red eyes, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Thorn launched her fist at the barrier, leaving a small crack. "Thorn, be careful with that thing!" Alyssia exclaimed.
The barrier fixed the crack itself.
"You know what the evil Axl said. It's impossible to break it," Sopheria reminded.
"Axl is going to fight that faker. I have no choice but to believe in him," Angelo said.
"You can beat that faker now, Axl!" Red (THOJATUW) cheered Axl (THOJATUW) up.
Axl (THOJATUW) wielded his shotgun and shot at the evil Axl many times. The evil Axl grinned as revealed his scythe and spinned it as he blocked the bullets.
"So pretty much we're just here to watch?" Thorn asked, with an unamused look. "No point in me being here then." she finished, walking back. "Basically we're just here to let them show off..."
"Thorn! Come back here!" Ala yelled.
"Nope." she replied.
"Not just show off. I think that Axl has deep thoughts about not protecting Tyro. Do you remember that Tyro sacrificed herself to save us from Sigma and Axl didn't protect her? That's why he felt guilty for it," Sora explained.
"Tyro doesn't need protection but we all care about her," Angelo said.
"Let's say find the *&/$ing way to break it down," Sopheria stated.
The Evil Axl dashed and slashed with his scythe but Axl (THOJATUW) blocked it with his scythe. They're slashing and blocking each other. The Evil Axl found the opening. He revealed his gun and shot at Axl's right arm. Axl (THOJATUW) winced as he stepped back from him. He held his bleeding right arm.
"Well, I only hit it once, I believe if I hit it repeatedly, it'll open it enough to let us through..." Thorn stated, as she ripped a rose from her hair, that had grown there. She ripped it apart, and threw the petals in the air. "Just stay back." she advised, the rose petals turned into sharp, red needles, her arms grew the thick needles that were on her gauntlets, and she walked over to the barrier, the needles following.
Ala smiled.
Everyone stayed back for Thorn's attack.
The Evil Axl attacked while Axl (THOJATUW) dodged his attacks. He gave a powerful slice but Axl (THOJATUW) rolled over to dodge it quickly.
"I like the dodging technique but there are more things that you don't know... CRIMSON ATTACK!" the Evil Axl shouted as the ground came out of spears. It stabbed Axl (THOJATUW) 's chest. Axl (THOJATUW) gasped as he coughed blood.
"Agh...why... the hell..." Axl (THOJATUW) shocked and fell down on the floor. His chest started to bleed.
"AXL!" Red (THOJATUW) shocked.
Tyro woke up and saw everything what happened. "OH NO! AXL! NOOO!" Tyro cried.
Thorn gritted her teeth, quickly slamming her fists into the barrier, sending cracks along it, later the needles launching into the cracks, causing it to break apart. "Get in through here now!" she yelled, everyone scrambling inside.
Tyro ran towards Axl (THOJATUW) and held him. "Axl! Axl! Wake up!" she cried.
"Bwahahahaha! I knew it that he is weak!" The Evil Axl laughed.
"Why you */$#er!" Tyro glared at him.
The Evil Axl charged his giant crimson sphere and threw it at them. Axl (THOJATUW) opened his eyes slowly as he saw a giant sphere.
"Re...flect..." Axl (THOJATUW) used his nephilim to protect them as a barrier. The giant crimson sphere bounced back and hit at the Evil Axl. Axl (THOJATUW) fainted as he lost his energy.
Tyro shocked that Axl (THOJATUW) has a new power to protect.
The Evil Axl got damage. "That bastard!" he yelled.
Thorn ran at Evil Axl, launching her fist into his barrier. "What a wimp you are, hiding behind a shield. I thought you were a man!" she yelled, smashing through it with her other fist.
Alyssia ran over to Axl (THOJATUW) . "I'll take care of him." she stated.
The Evil Axl smirked. He transformed himself into Evil Thorn. She punched her all her might and disappeared.
"What the *#$ ! He can shape shift!" Sopheria shocked.
Sora ran to Thorn. "Thorn, are you alright?" she asked and helped her to get up.
"Alright," Tyro nodded.
"A mimic glitch huh?" Thorn questioned, getting up, cracking her neck. "Even like this I can take you down." she stated, rushing at Evil Axl.
"But he or she is gone now," Sora said.
"Did Axl use reflect?" Sopheria asked.
"Yes, that's his new power," Angelo nodded.
Red (THOJATUW) ran towards to Tyro, Axl (THOJATUW) and Alyssia. "How is he?" he asked.
Axl (THOJATUW) groaned that he's in pain.
"His chest is bleeding but Alyssia will heal it," Tyro replied.
"He'll be fine." Alyssia replied, after having sealed up the wound.
Tyro looked at Axl (THOJATUW). "He lost his energy for the fight. I better take him home," she suggested.
"I'll carry him," Red (THOJATUW) carried Axl (THOJATUW).
"You guys go on ahead. Red and I will take care of him," Tyro smiled. They teleported and vanished.
"I cannot believe that glitch ruined the day," Angelo sighed.
"At least, we're all fine," Sopheria said.
"I better search that glitch tomorrow. I think Avarice is making some evil scheme again," Sora muttered.
"Should we head home?" Alyssia asked.
"Oh! Sure but first, I need to do shopping," Sora replied.
"I don't really see it being a good idea to buy things, when one of your teammates is injured." Thorn commented.
They went to the shop to buy some souvenirs and then, back home. At the Maverick Hunter HQ in Tyro's dimension, Axl (THOJATUW) is still unconscious and lying on the bed in his room. Tyro stroked his hair.
Alyssia looked at Axl (THOJATUW), "How is he?" she asked.
"Still not waking yet. He was pretty exhausted to use his power. Well, the two Axls have copy shot but my Axl has Nephilim eyes," Tyro replied.
"I know that." Alyssia replied, as she sat next to him.
"Aly-chan, is your dad has an illness?" Tyro asked.
"Yeah why?" she asked.
"Is abusing Ala part of his illness?" Tyro asked.
"Well no, but you need to realize he's crazy..." Alyssia replied.
"How crazy? Like his mind mix up with emotions or didn't know to listen to others?"
"Both." She replied sadly.
"Ooooh... Anyway, when did you meet the Red Alert? You're very close to them... except Warfly,"
"Well... Red got hurt, and Tonion told me that. He had seen me help another Droid when it had lost it's arm, and asked if I could heal Red's wounds, and he brought me to him. After that, all the others were friendly towards me for helping them so much. I even helped a few of the members to..." she replied.
"Wow! You are a reploid lover and an angel," Tyro amazed. "Wait! In long years, you're still have your healing powers?"
"Well, I've always had them..." she replied.
"You always had them? What are you really, human, angel, half breed or clone?" Tyro asked.
"I'm human, but, Daddy gave these to me..." she muttered, as she showed the palms of her hands. Chips were implanted, with small pads over them. "They recreate material and help heal wounds and pain... That's how when I met Red Alert, I was able to replace that Droid's arm." she finished.
"So, that's why you can heal. I thought you're a half breed like me," Tyro sighed.
Axl (THOJATUW) groaned and winced. He opened his eyes slowly as he saw Tyro and Alyssia.
"Axl!" Tyro surprised.
"Tyro... Alyssia... How are you guys?" Axl (THOJATUW) asked with a weak voice.
"Shush for now." Alyssia advised, putting her hand over his wound, sealing it, healing it. "Sorry to disappoint you..." she replied to Tyro.
"It's fine. I was pretty curious and wanted to know you," Tyro smiled. "Axl, you need some sleep. Alyssia's orders," she winked.
Axl (THOJATUW) chuckled. "Oh you! Well, okay." he went back to sleep.
"So, are you excited for 'Red Alert Day' tomorrow?" Tyro asked.
"I hope so. I'm sort of happy that Gungaroo and Tonion will get some time out again, especially the others." Alyssia smiled.
"Me too... I hope our Red Alerts will get along in Hunger Games," Tyro smiled.
Someone knocked the door. "Tyro, this is Sora," Sora said
"It's open," Tyro said.
Sora opened the door. "How's Axl?" she asked.
"He woke up but he fell asleep because he got exhausted by wasting his energy. He's okay now," Tyro answered.
Sora nodded and looked at Alyssia. "Aly-chan, what is your favorite color and favorite animal?" she asked.
"Um... I like birds... and my favorite color is blue..." she replied, smiling.
"Hey! That's my favorite color," Sora smiled.
"X too," Tyro added.
Sora gave Alyssia a blue jay stuff toy. "I bought from the zoo. Also," she pulled out a sapphire necklace from her pocket and put it on Alyssia's neck. "This necklace will protect from any harm. I put a good luck spell on it so that you are much safer," she said.
"Are you sure it will?" she asked nervously.
"Yes, I used my powers to make lucky charms. I revived you and the Red Alert, got it memorize?" Sora winked.
"Y-yeah..." she replied.
Sora and Tyro looked each other and smiled.
Meanwhile...
The evil Axl returned to the dark palace to meet his mistress. The fog was surrounded by demon virus.
"Mistress, Is the ultimate destruction ready?" he asked.
"Not yet, we will wait for the moment. The dimensional girls' friendship is stronger than I thought but no one will defeat me," Avarice smirked.
