-SIX MONTHS LATER-

Since Alice was now Second in Command in TarTar's Army, she was gifted into her personal throne room, Remus was now treated as a servant. However training was also part of his agenda. During those six months, he followed Alice around like a lost puppy, not wanting to make his new priestess mad, he kept his mouth shut, only speaking when he was told to.
"Remus?" Remus looked over at Alice. "Give me the coordinates of the New Squidbeak Platoon," She hands over a hologram computer. Remus nodded before taking a look at the computer, he started typing in a few things and fiddling with the new technology. After a bit he showed the computer over to Alice. On the screen was a map with a red dot depicting the Squidbeak Platoons location "Ad visuals please?" He pressed a button showing camera feed "Yuri," she breathed.
Remus tilted his head before being struck with a realization. Perhaps a name of his old friend sparked something in him. "Yuri... Toryoshi?"
"Correct."
"Y-You know him? How?!" Remus' eyes got brighter. The very mention of Yuri broke his blank emotionless state.
"I'll tell you someday Remus," Alice answered, "Please... Zoom in more." A tear started to shed. He went back to being quiet before zooming the camera footage in.
She smiled softly, "Do you know him?"
Remus nodded "A friend of mine... A good one at that."
"Is that so?" More tears race down her cold dead cheeks.
"I miss him... We got stuck in the metro. And then I left him, something just... Snapped" Remus wiped his eyes, trying to hold back tears "I heard of a group exploring the metro, apparently Yuri came back looking for me... But I couldn't go back with him."
"Really...? Tears...?" She wiped her own off.
"He was my friend alright!? Then that Tar bastard got to me! I wanted to go back with him, but now? I'm this 'thing' " Remus pointed to his sanitation, then backed off, "...I'm sorry for yelling"
Alice gave a stern look. "If I didn't know Yuri I would have recorrected you!" she scolded, "So I can't punish you... not yet at least." she cooled off her temper gradually.
Remus looked away reluctantly. "Fine... I'll go back to being your obedient pet," he sassed quietly.
Alice was caught off guard by the sass. She was furious, but she calmed down. "We both know it was my choice to keep you, but it wasn't my choice on how to treat you. If it were up to me, I would let you be free, but I can't." Remus softened up from that comment. "It's been almost 7 months since I've adopted you, Remus... we both know what will happen if TarTar gets his hands on you." Alice threateningly reminded.
"So there's not much of a choice is there?" Remus sighed, now appeased, "Alright, alright,... If we're going to survive this whole thing we need to get along... Even though my flawed sanitation might mess that up. Actually I shouldn't even be talking right now..."
"He's not here, speak all you can until I 'recorrect' you."
"Okay...?, can we like, change the subject? Please?" he asked.
"If we do, I may need to recorrect you."
"...Carp, alright fine."
Alice pulls out the shock gun, "Hold your breath." she shoots.
Remus fell to the ground "Oh! ALICE YOU B-" He thought for a moment "-eautiful oppai priestess."
Alice chuckled, then snapped back to reality, "Commander! I shall deploy our troops to gather civilians. I await your orders!" Remus laid on the floor.
TarTar responded to Alice via pa system, "ĐɆ₱ⱠØɎł₦₲ ₮ⱤØØ₱₴ ₣ØⱤ ₥ØⱤɆ ₵łVłⱠł₳₦₴?... ₵₳Ʉ₴Ɇ ₴Ø₥Ɇ Ⱨ₳VØ₵ ₩ⱧłⱠɆ ɎØɄ ĐØ ₳₴ ₩ɆⱠⱠ. ₮Ⱨł₴ ł₴ ₦Ø₩ ₩₳Ɽ"
"...Wait," Alice paused.
"Ⱨ₥?"
"No, repel the troops. I'll let the Squidbeak lose their guard. They've been terrorizing Inkropolis for 6 months. They must be training on us like punch dummies. Repel all troops and regroup for an extreme assault."
"6 ₥Ø₦₮Ⱨ₴... ł'₥ ₮ⱤɄ₴₮ł₦₲ ɎØɄ ₩ł₮Ⱨ ₮Ⱨł₴" TarTar responded before disappearing into the darkness of the metro.
"We'll attack on Squidmas Eve. Where everything's joyful." she had a crooked smile on her face, "Remus, spread the broadcast to all Troops."
Remus nodded before walking over to the computer and sending a broadcast to each and every sanitized troop. Like an army of ants they all flooded back to the metro "Let's give them one hell of a show on Squidmas!"
"...Remus, I need to recorrect your emotions." Alice replied, "I'm sorry, but come with me." Remus grew quiet and obedient before turning to his Priestess. Alice starts walking to the correction room, "I'll need to also." She started plugging in wires in Remus's skin, as well as some on her own skin then activated the machine. Remus did not respond, he merely stood there fiddling with his fingers. They both started to power down and rest soon after.
