The following story is a Skullgirls fanfiction, i own nothing but my ocs, Skullgirls is propery of M2 and Reverge Labs.

"Who am i? Well since you want to know so hard, the name's Peacock. Now do you want a beating or not?!" The child said with a menacing glance at the teenager with white hair and the bandaged arm. Pietro looked at this child with a look of confusion, he was expecting a horrible monster or a serial killer, but not a child. After a while he noticed her peculiar traits, like her pitch black eyes, sharp metallic teeth and her robotic arms.

"Uhhh… okay, look kid i don't know how you got here, but you should probably go home to your parents, the streets are dangerous at this time, just ask this man next to me." As Pietro turned to the man, the latter was in the verge of crying again and having another panic attack. Pietro noticed his behavior and thought to himself, "wait… could this child have… no that's preposterous!"

"OH TRINITY IT'S HER!" The man cried out in a panic, he turned to Pietro and grabbed him by the shirt with a very scared expression, "PLEASE YOU HAVE TO HELP ME!"

Pietro was now very confused, was it this child? Was it really this small child that put this man in the state that he is. No it was crazy, maybe the man saw something worse and he's now in a state of shock.

Suddenly Pietro felt Akira, he was starting to unravel himself from the bandages and expose his real form. Pietro felt a weird chill down his spine as Akira did this, almost as his body told him to get ready for a fight, it was a similar feeling he had with Midas when he first met him.

"Pietro…" Akira called out his host's name "This child… something's wrong with her, i feel something awfully familiar in her body" Akira's voice sounded uncertain and wary, almost as he expected Peacock to attack them.

Pietro stood there in shock, "You don't mean to tell me, she's also a host?!" he asked in surprise he knew a lot of people were after the Skullheart, but he didn't expect to meet another host so soon.

"Not quite, it's similar yet… it feels so alien… i can't explain it." As the parasite finished talking the man now looked completely out of it, in his desperation to escape from this situation he decided to run from both of them and make an escape, surely the boss would take care of this child.

As he ran he shouted behind him, "YOU STUPID KID, JUST WAIT UNTIL THE BOSS HEARS OF THIS ONE, YOU'RE DEAD MEAT KID!" but as the man ran he did not notice above him the large object that was falling onto him, Pietro tried warning the man, but when he finally noticed the large object he tried jumping out of the way, but his jump fell a bit short and the object fell directly onto the man's legs, he cried and shouted like a mad man, his legs completely broken and shattered, they couldn't even be called legs anymore, as he shouted for them, Pietro looked at the scene with absolute horror and Akira was also quite stunned by the sudden appearance of the object, Peacock just laughed out loud, the object seemingly stood up it had the shape of a very large weight, but it had a very well structured face, it also had arms and legs. It simply gave Peacock a thumbs up.

"Good job catching the runner boy Tommy!" Peacock said as she laughed at the man's pain and agony, but shortly after she stopped and began walking toward the man, as she made her way Pietro noticed other figures joining her, two of them were bombs, one larger than the other, another was an anvil that had human arms and legs, he was also wearing boxing gloves, the last one was a bird that looked a lot like the child, she was giving Pietro the stink eye, even tough she didn't have any. The whole gang that followed the child, and even herself looked like something straight out of a cartoon.

"W-W-WHAT THE HELL!? Y-YOU MONSTERS! M-M-MY LEGS!" the man kept yelling and crying cursing the peculiar gang that had chased him. But when they towered directly over the man, he just stood quiet and terrified.

"*SQUAWK* WHAT'S WRONG TOUGH GUY, BROKE YOUR TONGUE TOO?" the bird mocked him and his current state, the man just looked terrified and put both hands in front of his face in defense.

Pietro knew something bad was about to happen, he had to help the man, but he was still trying to process what had just happen "Akira you have any idea what is happening?"

"Hmmm…" Akira pondered to himself he remembered a long time ago there were individuals that were experimented and implemented certain upgrades, these upgrades worked almost the same way as parasites, but unlike them, the user had complete control over his body and the ability. "Synthetic Parasites…" Akira said.

Pietro looked at the parasite with a confused expression "Uh…?".

"Synthetic Parasites, they're pretty much just parasites like me, but they're man made and aren't sentient, not only that but they can be safely removed without causing damage to the host," Akira explained to Pietro who looked at him in curiosity, he had never heard such a thing as synthetic parasites before, " i have come across some of them in other host's but they were weak and easily dispatched, but this one is different, it's dangerous, Pietro we should leave, look the man is probably some criminal bum or something, hell he's most likely a Medici Scum!".

"Synthetic Parasites, eh?" Pietro had never heard of such things as Synthetic Parasites, the idea seemed interesting though, a parasite that had no repercussions or limitations.

"W-What do you want?!" The man asked Peacock still in his defensive posture.

"Me?" the child mockingly asked, "All i want is to see you Medici dirt cry and grovel at my feet, only to have your lives taken away, and then you will understand what it means to lose everything!" Peacock menacingly stared at the stranger, if her eyes were visible they would probably be filled with rage, Peacock had always hated the Medici and that hate has only grew as time went on, leaving her alive would be their biggest mistake.

"B-B-But i had no other choice! Without the Medici i'll be nothing, i would have died without them!" the men pleaded begging for his life, trying to explain that he was what he was because he had no other choice.

"Why should i believe you, you're just Medici scum." Peacock would have none of it, his pleads fell on deaf hears as Peacock pulled out a shotgun from seemingly nowhere and pointed it at the terrified man.

Looking at the situation Pietro pondered Akira's proposal to just run away, maybe it was the safest option, but looking back at the man, he was so vulnerable, so scared, maybe he was a bad person, maybe he did do bad things, but, did that really mean he should go through this torture? Pietro didn't think so, maybe he has done bad things, things that should not have been done, but, does that make this person bad, Pietro didn't know why this man could have done the things he did, and neither could his brat.

"Filia…" Pietro silently said. Akira heard this.

"Uh? What about her?"

"Filia wasn't a bad person, she wasn't Medici scum, a simple title didn't make her like the ruthless killers, "Pietro began to unravel the rest of the bandages revealing Akira's full body, his arm a deep dark blue that was finally released from it's restraints, the eye at the elbow showing itself in a deep shining yellow color, the arm twisted and shifted for a bit before calming down, Pietro's eyes were now full of anger, not toward the child, but to what they were doing to this man, the assumption they made, the torture they made this man go through "so why should it make this man a bad person?!"

Peacock's gang noticed the sudden change in the teenager's attitude, it was almost has he was picking a fight with them, Peacock looked at the boy with some interest.

"HEY BRAT!" Pietro called out "GET OFF THE MAN, FIGHT ANOTHER PARASITE HOST FOR A CHANGE!" Peacock now looked annoyed, BRAT?! Who did this guy think he was?

Avery was the first one to speak up "BRAT?! WHO DO YAH THINK YOU ARE KID?! EH?! YOU'RE TALKING TO OUR BOSS HERE!"

Andy Anvil the joined the bird. "YEAH WHAT SHE SAID, YOU MUST HAVE HIT YOU HEAD SOMEWHERE TO BE THIS STUPID BUD!" the rest of the gang looked at Pietro with menacing glances, but Pietro didn't relent, he didn't fall to his knees begging forgiveness, much to they annoyance.

Peacock though, she was intrigued, this boy was clearly different from the other scum they swiped from the streets of New Meridian. She slowly walked towards the boy, the gang was going to follow her, but she extended her hand and gestured them to stay where they were.

"Soooo…" Peacock said now face to face with Pietro "you're challenging me uh?" She said with an amused face like how an adult looks at a child when the latter tries to challenge the adult.

"You're damn right i am!" Before Pietro could react Peacock threw something at his face, even tough Pietro wasn't fast enough Akira was able to catch the object.

"So, we're doing this then…" Akira said cursing his host's softness, it will get the both of them killed one day Akira thought.

"Yeah sorry Akira, but i can't let them do this." As he finished talking both Pietro and Akira hear a noise, almost like a *tick* as if a counter had been activated.

When Pietro looked at the object he noticed it wasn't just any object, it was a bomb, and it was about to blow.

"What?!" Pietro exclaimed in surprise how did this girl guard a bomb, she didn't have any pockets, but it wasn't time to think about that.

Without wasting time Pietro's arms began to shift and envelop the whole bomb trying to absorb as much of the blast as possible, much to his surprise as the bomb went *boom* you could only hear the muffled explosion, Pietro's hand inflated like a balloon, and when he let go the smoke came pouring from where the bomb was, his hand deflated back to it's normal state.

Peacock looked genuinely surprised, that bomb was strong enough to blow up the whole neighborhood and yet this kid just took it like a champ.

Peacock let's out a whistle "Damn, gotta give it to yah that wasn't half ba…" and now it was her turn to be surprised as out of nowhere Pietro sent a powerful swing of his fist to the maniacal child's face and to the gang's surprise the punch lands and knocks Peacock out of her feet and onto the concrete floor, however she stood quickly back up.

"How's that one brat?!" Pietro let out a snicker, Peacock's face was mashed in, literally, and as she pulled her face back to normal she was smoking in anger, literally.

"Of course you know, this means war." Peacock said as she pulled out a large gun with a knife stuck to it's hand and began unloading at the white haired boy, Pietro's arm had now turned into a shield like that time we fought Midas, all the bullets weren't going through the shield, but when Pietro thought it was safe he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, something had gone through it, but not through the shield, he turned back and saw a black portal, and from that portal was Peacock's hand which was wielding another gun.

"Shit, you're kidding me? Portals?" Akira said loudly expressing his frustrations, looks like this fight is going to be harder then Pietro thought, the parasite was right she was dangerous, but there was no time to think about that, the maniac child is going to fire again and Pietro needs to find a way out of this predicament, then as Pietro looked at the sewer drain cover at the floor and back at Peacock, he had an idea.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Peacock continued to laugh like a mad child, unloading round after round from both side, but after a while she stopped, taking a short pause to breath. "*Huff* *huff* HEY BRAT, HOW YA HOLDING THERE, HOW MANY HOLES YA HAVE THERE!" as she yelled out "A COUPA HUNDRED MAYBE?!"

The shield that once was between her and Pietro began to dissolve leaving behind this blue goo that quickly vanished and it revealed no body, Pietro Vietri was still alive, Peacock also noticed that the sewer drain cover had been removed, Peacock immediately looked around her, there were a couple of sewer covers around and she knew that the boy was hiding in one of them, and she knew how to get him out, she literally unzipped the covers near her, all at the same time, and threw venomous snakes onto all of them, "HOPE YOU ENJOY POISON, SNOW WHITE!." She cackled at her seemingly success, but as she did she felt a sensation on her ankle, as if something was grabbing her, and as she looked down she was surprised to see the grinning face of Pietro, Peacock had somehow not noticed the sewer cover that she was standing on and has she tried to escape the grab she was flung with might onto the nearest wall cracking it in the process, and from the sewers emerged Pietro.

"Heh? What's the matter, can't keep up?" Pietro taunted the girl "You were talking so big, maybe you should have put more effort fighting then talking."

"W-Wait!" Peacock pleaded with the white haired boy that had bested her "W-Why? Why are you protecting this scumbag, he's a Medici do you know that?" Peacock asked, her word filled with anger toward the gang member and Pietro.

"It's simple," Pietro said, "i don't judge a person by their name, Medici, not Medici, what truly matter in the end is that we decide who we are, sometimes it's easy, other times it's hard, i'm not going to pretend as if my life was horrible, i had a comfortable life, but, i understand." Pietro looked at the gang member who was now looking at the boy "I understand him…" Pietro could have sworn that he saw tears leaking down the man's face.

"Heh, i see…" Peacock closed her eyes and the said, "in that case can i thank you?"

"Uh? For what?" Pietro asked puzzled at the girls words. "Pietro Watch out!" Akira yelled out as suddenly he was punched in the face by the Andy Anvil, making him trip and fall to the ground and as he looked up he saw Tommy Ten-Tons go down on him, Pietro's arm suddenly hardened and expanded to try and hold the Tommy, but the weight was crushing, Pietro wasn't smashed like the stranger's legs but it still did quite the damage on him, luckily he was able to squeeze out of the crushing weight.

"For being an idiot and standing still there like a dummy." Peacock grinned, now joined by her gang.

"HEY NO FAIR!" Pietro yelled out, angered that he was now vastly outnumbered.

"I don't think fairness really applies here, and i doubt it's in her dictionary." Akira pointed out, it was true they should have seen this coming, it was obvious that her goons were going to eventually show up and tip the scale to their boss's favour.

"Why your friend at least has some common sense, i mean you didn't expect war to be fair did you?" Peacock said, a confident grin now plastered in her face knowing she has the clear advantage, has she always had.

"Things just got a lot more complicated Pietro!" Akira grunted, frustrated at the current situation, Pietro hated to admit it, but Akira was right, they were now in a very complicated situation, but they couldn't just walk away now, they have to win this one.

"All right!" Pietro let out a roar as he charged onto the gang, Peacock and her friends did the same and charged onto the boy and his parasite.

The night live of New Meridian was a place of distraction for many, the streets were filled with people escaping their work stress and relax for a change, that wasn't the case for Ben "Big Band" Birdland, stress was the only thing going through the gigantic metal man, he was in a hurry sprinting all around the city, getting some *not so kind* comments from some people he almost ran over, but he didn't have time to stop and apologize, he had to find Peacock, and fast. Just mentioning her had Ben lose his temper, but at this moment he had to be calm.

"God dammit Peacock, why can't you just listen for once…" Big Band Thought to himself, he knew it wasn't entirely her fault, he let himself be fooled by a kid. "Hell of an ex-cop I am, I let myself be tricked by the oldest trick in the book, you should have known better than that Ben." He cursed himself for such a moment of foolishness, groaning to himself.

Ben eventually stopped for a short while to take a good look at his surroundings, even if the city attracted all kinds of people Peacock still stood out like a stain on a white shirt, it shouldn't be hard to see her, but he had been searching for the last hour and found nothing.

"Dammit kid where are you?!" he muttered to himself looking around him frantically, "I can't find her in the streets, I already scouted every Medici hideout I could find, searched every candy shop, gun shop, explosives shop, hell I even searched that shop that sells merchandise of her favorite show… but nothing" Ben let out a heavy sigh, he couldn't give up, she may be strong but she is very young, she could be in serious danger.

As Big Band prepared to blitz through the city a second time a massive explosion could be heard from a distance, it drew the attention from everyone on the street, many where taken aback by the sudden noise, many ran some stood still, unknowing of what just happened, but ben knew, he knew very well what had happened, he let out another heavy sigh.

"Hold on Peacock…" Ben took off in his Super Sonic Jazz and chased the source of the explosion, "And try not to kill anyone please."

The fight between Peacock and Pietro resumes, and it had gotten much more intense, the addition of Peacock gang had forced Pietro to go on the defensive, many thing were thrown at him but he was able to dodge many of them, but he felt his limit coming, he wouldn't last forever.

"Dammit, Akira this is too much…" Pietro told his companion, "if this keeps up, I'm going to give in to myself!"

"Dammit kid I know, but there isn't a lot we can do at the moment" Akira told Pietro, he was very well aware of his host's current state but there wasn't much he could do about it, "besides it was YOU who drag US into this mess!" Akira yelled out at this host's recklessness toward the situation.

"I'm sorry okay! But I couldn't let that man just suffer like that!" Pietro told his parasite, stubborn in his beliefs.

"Yes, Yes you could…" Akira lashed back, stubborn in his beliefs. A clash of moralities between the two.

Pietro noticed that Peacock hadn't attacked yet, and grew weary, but he also took this opportunity to take a good look at his surrounding the fight had somehow transported them all the way to one of the rooftops of a building, neither Pietro nor Akira had noticed this to their surprise. Before he had time to think more, he hears a voice yell out from above him.

"HEY HERO!" Pietro looked up to see Peacock holding what seemed to be another bomb in her hands before letting it go towards him, "CATCH!"

As the bomb fell onto the boy, Pietro extended his arm to catch the bomb at threw it back to Peacock, the maniac child only smiled at struck the bomb further into the sky with a baseball bat.

"STRIKE!" She yelled out as the bomb blew, creating a deafening sound.

"STOP WITH THE BOMB, "Pietro yelled out "YOU'RE GOING TO CREATE MASSIVE DAMAGE WITH THAT!"

Peacock simply laughed it off "THE ONLY THING GETTING DAMAGED HERE IS YOU BOY!"

Pietro then felt a sharp pain on his right kidney, Andy Anvil and snuck up on him and struck him with a massive right punch, the boy stumbled on his feet before regaining his composure, facing the Anvil.

"FORGOT ABOUT ME PUNK" Andy tried to strike Pietro with another right but he was able to dodge that one an answer with a right punch of his own striking the anvil on his *head* but the punch seemed to have no effect as Andy just kept on swinging, the boy tried to strike many times but the punched never seemed to effect the Anvil man, just the he heard Akira shout out.

"PIETRO BEHIND US!" behind them was a George Bomb driving a plane it began shooting at the boy he had somehow managed to dodge all the bullets, but know he was dodging both the plane's rounds and the boxer's fists, leaving no space for an attack, then from behind something big got ahold of him, it was Lonesome Lenny giving him a big bear hug.

"KEEP HIM THERE LENNY I WANNA PRACTICE MA SWINGS, HE HE!" Andy taunted as he began to unload on Pietro's face, the boy now heavily bruised, but he was able to break free from the titanic bomb's bear hug and dashed to a far place, but he then noticed the large X sign from behind him a saw a shadow getting closer to his location, as he looked up, it was Tommy Ten-Tons bringing his full weight onto Pietro, luckily he was able to jump out of the way leaving a large crater in the place he was, he landed on his face and when he went to get back up, he felt something pierce his hand, Avery had stabbed in the hand she readied for another swing but Akira raised himself to block the strike, then he tried to swing at the Bird but it was nimble and was able to hit "WAS THE MATTER? CAN'T HIT A LITTLE BIRD DOWN" it taunted, then Akira transformed into a racked and successfully swatted the bird away sending it flying into a wall.

"AVERY!" The Anvil shouted out, "PUNK! SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT" Andy went and tried to strike Pietro with a left hook but he was able to catch the fist, then Akira separated the arm into four different tentacles grasping all on Andy Anvil's limbs "WHA…LET ME GO! I CAN'T PUNCH IF YOU DON'T LET ME GOOO!" Andy Anvil shouted in anger, then the tentacles started spinning around, and Andy with them making the boxer incredibly dizzy, after finished spinning Pietro threw the boxer away into the same wall Akira had swatted the bird, from behind Pietro, Tommy was charging at them, once again with his full weight behind him.

"How do we deal with this guy?" Akira asked Pietro, he wasn't strong enough to lift the damn thing and any physical attacks would be useless, but Pietro had an idea, as Tommy came charging Pietro dodged the first charge, Tommy was ready for another one, but this time the boy stood by the edge of the skyscraper as Tommy came charging he dodged and Tommy came falling down the building, screaming all the way down, "I HATE HEEEEEIIIIGHTS!" Tommy said as he fell.

"Eh, not bad, a nice gift for the ants down there uh?" Akira jokingly asked to Pietro, but Pietro realized that Tommy could indeed hit someone.

"OH DAMN… I didn't think about that!" Pietro looked down and luckily Tommy fell just short of falling in top of a very large man wearing a trench coat. He sighed in relief and turned back to the child who was standing in front of him with a smile.

"Eh, not bad Snow White, you can hold yourself in scrap after all, " Peacock commentated on Pietro's strength, seeming to be happy that she will have a fun time with this boy, "As a reward I'll crank up the difficulty a bit more kay?"

"You're kidding me, YOU'VE BEEN HOLDING BACK?!" Pietro shouted out perplexed on how this child could be so strong.

"I told you she was dangerous!" Akira remarked, "but there isn't much of a point in saying that anymore, it's do or die kid, literally." Pietro didn't say a word but knew Akira was right, so he readied himself and formed a blade with his arm and charged at the child, Peacock answered back by pulling a chainsaw out of her pockets and charging a Pietro, both blades clashed creating sparks, both were taken aback by the impact but kept on swinging their weapons striking steel against parasite, testing which one would shatter first, for Pietro it was extremely stressing trying to parry Peacocks chainsaw and trying to attack at the same time, but for Peacock this was the most fun she had ever had, there wasn't a single person who could push her to such limits, the Medici thugs were funs sure, but they were weak and easy to break, but this boy, he was strong, in both body and mind, for Peacock shattering him would be the ultimate thrill.

Akira ducked one of Peacock's strikes and struck her legs with a low spinning sweep kick, bringing Peacock down, but she went through one of her portals and appeared from above this time she held a gigantic hammer both ends filled with spikes and brought down upon Pietro, luckily he was able to form a shield in time and block it, but then peacock took off her at and from the hat came Andy Anvil and Avery and they flanked Pietro striking him down, bringing him to the floor. Sheepishly Pietro stood back up, shakingly raising his arms ready to fight. Peacock was also starting to get worn out huffing and puffing.

"I'll *huff* admit it *huff* you're strong kid *huff* but-"Peacock's smile grew wider "I'm much stronger, even now I haven't used everything!" Pietro was flabbergasted, how could she have even more left? "Back up boys, I'm bringing the big guns!" Andy Anvil and Avery knew what was coming and stepped back, then from Peacock's hat a bird head appeared and pointed at Pietro, then other robotic joints appeared and lined up and began glowing.

"Uhhh… Akira?" Pietro sheepishly asked his companion

"Yeah?" Akira asked frustrated by the current situation his host put them in.

"Sorry you were right, i… I was reckless I got ourself into a situation we shouldn't have gotten ourselves into," Pietro looked at his companion," You should probably leave while you can."

As Pietro said those words something awoke within Akira, those words kept ringing in his head, they were familiar words, from a distant memory that he had tried to bury, hearing those words again made him remember that fateful day where he had heard those words, Akira started to form a shield that covered the entirety of Pietro's self, even Pietro was taken aback by this sudden gesture, he though Akira would try to save himself but he was trying to protect his host, all Pietro could say was. "Why?"

Akira was silent for a moment but then responded, "I'm not a killer Pietro," The entity said, taking Pietro in surprise "we take this serious, the life of others… Pietro, I will never, ever leave another host again, you can count on that, even if it kill me in the process!" Akira said the intensity of his voice could be felt through Pietro's body "besides did you forget? You still have to rescue your precious princesses, oh *prince in shining armor* eheh."

Akira was right Pietro still had to find Filia and Carol, he promised Akira he would help him defeat the Skullgirl, and he had promised, to his own father that he would be okay, he had to much to live for, dying like this at this time wasn't an option. Pietro gripped the shield that Akira formed into and charged with it onto Peacock.

"THAT'S THE SPIRIT KID!" Peacock yelled out and finished charging her attack the she yelled out "ARGUS AGONY" and the beam let loose from the hat as bolts were shot from the eyes of her joints, when they clashed against Pietro and Akira, they were almost blown away but they held on and pushed forwards, slowly but steadily they reached closer to Peacock, Andy and Avery were ready to interfere, but Peacock said " NO, NO INTERRUPTIONS THIS TIME GUYS, JUST ME AND THE KID!" both were surprised by this request but they followed her orders, Peacock then added more power to Argus Agony and it was now starting to push the boy and his parasite away, but they still held on.

"AKIRA!" Pietro yelled out "HOW ARE YOU HOLDING?!" Akira let out some moans of pain his entire being was ingulfed in pain but all he said was.

"I'M FINE, JUST PUSH, PUSH PIETRO" the parasite told his host "Don't forget about them, Filia, Carol, your dad, think about them and PUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!"

With that last bit of motivation for Pietro to keep fighting he pushed through the attack and charged into Peacock after struggling with the beam for what seemed an eternity he finally reached her just in time for the attack to run out of fuel as it stopped, Peacock looked up with surprised all over her face, this kid had somehow resisted her strongest attack.

"W-WHAT?! HOW'S THIS POSSIBLE?" before she could do anything Pietro raised HIS fist and swung onto the child sending her flying onto a wall breaking it and sending it crashing onto the child, Avery and Andy stood there watching in shock as their boss was propelled full strength against a wall and then crushed by said wall. Pietro stood up and triumphantly raised his arm and shouted.

"I- I WON, YOU HEAR ME BRAT I WON, I WOOOOOOOOOOOOON!" Letting that last scream out the boy fell unconscious his companion exhausted from the damage he took also fell limp without a word.

"BOSS!" the gang ran to get their boss, but before they could reach her, they heard someone else.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!?" it was Big Band, arriving just at the just short of the fight's conclusion, from behind him he held Tommy Ten Tons who spotted the gang

"Eh, sorry guys, the big guy caught just as I was ready to rejoin the fight…" Tommy said embarrassed that he was caught, Ben had also noticed the other members, but he also notices a white haired boy lying in the middle of the rooftops, Ben immediately assumes the worst and rushes to the boy.

"Oh no… Peacock what have you done?!" as he finished saying that Peacock reappears from a portal jumping out of it and onto the ground.

"Uh… done what?!" Peacock asked then she realizes he means the boy. "WOAH! HEY! I didn't kill him if that's what you're worried about, matter of fact he started it."

"Really?!" Big Band asked skeptical that the boy started the fight "Well sorry if I don't really have motive to believe in you right now Peacock!"

"….Are you mad that I lied to you?" Peacock nonchalantly asks "Because you I'm sorry, I'm really sorry it's just that…" Before she could finish, she's interrupted by Big Band.

"Oh no, O-oh no Peacock I'm not falling for that one again, matter of fact I'm not falling for that one ever again, because I'm not gonna be responsible for keeping you in the lab." Ben stands up an looks to Peacocks, and she swears she see's a smirk in his face, "Ileum is." Peacock freezes up, literally.

"Anyhow, we should treat this boy, it's the least I can do for him after what you did." As Ben lifts the body of the white haired boy, he notices his unusual arm, and immediately recognizes it as a parasite, but for some reason this one seems familiar to Ben, he snaps from his thoughts "Uhm… Weird, Let's go Peacock." Ben say's as he takes off in his Super Sonic Jazz.

Peacocks only response is,

"…Okay….sheezz, why Ileum, she's scary…" And takes off in her car with her gang after Ben.

*Atchooo*

A girl dressed in a school uniform which consists of a white button-down collared shirt, black tie, a short pleated mini skirt with thigh-high leggings, and dark brown loafers. She's also wearing a white mushroom hat that has a black ribbon and bow. She was currently in a place called the Mad Man's Caffe, a place she is inexplicably fond of.

"Jeez kid, be louder why don't you." A voice could be heard coming from the hat. "That's the third one in a row."

"Sorry Samson…" the teenage girl awkwardly smiles. "You know there are superstitions that when you sneeze it's because someone is talking about you."

"… Filia that's a stupid superstition and you know that."

"Well I mean…" Filia looks out of the windows of the caffe "you never know."
