A/N First, an explanation a to why Medusa is acting more 'motherly': She doesn't want to lose her experiment. She lost Chrona to the DWMA because he was a horrible parent and thus needed a new experiment. She came across Alec and decided he would be he perfect candidate. Alec is loyal to her because he is extremely lonely. By the way, I'm not translating the foreign languages in this. Most of the translations were from Google, so sorry if they make your eyes bleed.
I'll be writing a seperate FF for Alec that will include scenes from this and Samara's FF. I'll try to explain a lot in it. Oh and to clarify why Alice's interests shift from Brandon to Alec so quickly; Curiosity. Like when a toddler gets a new toy, it becomes curious and leaves its old toy for the new one but then gets bored and comes back to the old toy. It's kind of like that.
It's also the other way around, seeing that Alec finds Alice extremely interesting and sees Brandon as just another 'filthy human'. This is turned around later when Alec shows more interest in Brandon. Not like that, he's straight. XD
There'll also be a super-mega-awesome cool fight scene.
"Alright." Alice replied.
"We should probably find a police station to ask around." he said, looking for a police station among the large amounts of buildings. They found one after about an hour. Alice started to ask around and after about thirty minutes reported back to Brandon, who was waiting outside.
"Apparently, there have been dissapearances here in Berlin. No where else. And according to the police, it's because of Alec." she paused. "You think he may be working for Medusa?"
"Why would he? He has no reason to." he said, eliminating the possibilities that would make Alec work with Medusa.
"She may be paying him to help her kidnap all those people." Alice said. "I use to do ANYTHING for money. Even kill other Kishins."
"You may have done anything, but you didn't do everything." he said, remembering something.
"Hm? What d'ya mean?"
"Well, you defianetly didn't whore yourself out, since you're still a virgin. Unless you were lying about that, which I'm pretty sure you weren't." he joked, trying to annoy her.
Alice gave him an annoyed look. "One; No-one would willingly have sex with a Kishin. Two; Fuck you."
"You mad, bro?" he asked, making a troll face. Alice burst out laughing. "Trolololololollololol." he began, laughing while singing. She started laughing so hard, she fell down, still laughing and not caring that it was in public since no-one knew who she was. "Here." he said while laughing, offering his hand to help her get up. Alice took her meister's hand and used it to pull herself up into a standing position, still laughing. "Alright, calm down. We stil need to find out if Alec is working for Medusa or not." he said, lowering his voice so the onlookers wouldn't hear him.
"OK." Alice said, her laughter reduced to mere giggles. "By the way, most people here speak German, so we can talk about dimensions and stuff openly."
"Still, some might have studied English in high school." he said, still keeping his voice low.
"And? They'll just think we're crazy~!" Alice said. "Anyway, we should look for Medusa or Alec. If we keep wasting our time here, they might leave."
"True. Our best bet is to try to draw out Medusa, and figure it out from there." he said, thinking of a plan.
"OK." she replied. "How do you suppose we do that?"
"Hmm, we should probably check all of the nearby research labs." he said, thinking of a place to find Medusa.
"Good idea!" Alice said, nodding determinedly.
"Now, we just need to find a lab." he said, clueless on where to begin.
"Well, I'm clueless..."
"Guess we better ask around then." he said, and began walking towards the informant's booth.
"OK." Alice said, following her meister. The two quickly approached the desk, and the informant turned to face them.
"Entschuldigen Sie, wo ist ein Forschungslabor?" he asked, pronouncing the words properly. The informant told him where the nearest research lab was and Alice payed him for telling them. Then the duo went to find it. They quickly found it, and stopped before going inside. "Do you think she will reconize us as academy students?" he asked quietly.
"I dunno." Alice replied.
"Well, just in case, I'm gonna talk in my Italian accent and you speak in your German accent." he instructed, his accent becoming apparent in his speech.
"OK." Alice replied, her accent showing in her voice. The two then walked in to the building. The inside was basically all white, with people in white lab coats rushing back and forth. The two walked around for a little bit, before they found their target. She was sitting at a table, writing something down on a piece of paper.
They body she was using this time was that of a middle-aged woman with light blonde hair and brown eyes.
Brandon approached her.
"Hallo, Sie sind Medusa?" he asked, maintaining his accent.
The woman turned to face him, proving that she was Medusa. "Yes. I'm Medusa, who are you?" she replied. "I know you can speak english, so please answer me."
"I am Brandon, and this is Alice." he said, still maintaining his accent.
"Hello, Miss Medusa." Alice said, keeping her accent as well.
"May I ask what you're doing here?" The witch queried.
"There was word that you needed assistance with experiments, so we wanted to know if we could help." he explained.
"What do you want in return?" Medusa paused, her expression turned menacing. "And don't lie or I will have to punish you severly."
Alice was taken by surprise. 'Didn't I say something like that to Alex?' she thought to herself.
"We just need help developing an idea my friend has." he said, trying to make it as vague as possible without raising suspicions.
"What would the idea be?" Medusa asked, her facial expression once again that of a kind doctor.
"Magitechnology." Alice blurted.
Medusa's expression twisted to one of shock before she smirked. "You're in luck. I've been trying to create that very thing myself." she said, causing Alice to gasp. "Two great minds think alike, right?" The witch said, turning to Alice with a kind smile.
"I understand that the basic premise is using Tekchnomalagois and Magitechnology to possibly create a portal, but I'm not entirely sure what Magitechnology is." Brandon said, taking the tone of a serious scientist.
"Tekchnomalagois? Will you please explain?" The witch asked.
"It is the metal Alice determined was required, but it is useless without Magitechnology." he explained, remembering what Alice told him.
"I see." Medusa replied. "This is why you need my help?"
"Like every good scientist, we want to test and see if our hypothesis is true." he replied.
"Of course." Medusa chuckled, then checked her watch. "Come with me. You'll be coming to my home, as a proper place to study. I will explain how to create Magitechnology there and in return you will come there everyday to help me create it." said the Gorgon, standing up.
"Sounds like a fair deal." he said, offering his hand to shake on it.
Medusa simply walked past him. "Come along. We have no time to waste." she said. Alice quickly followed the witch, waiting for her brown-haired meister. He also quickly followed behind her, mumbling "cagna." under his breath. "I heard that." Medusa said, not even looking at Brandon.
"Ok, mais savez-vous français?" he asked, raising his voice to a regular level.
"Oui." Both Medusa and Alice said in unison.
"You defianetly know German, and most likely know Spanish, so I'm out of languages." he realized, sighing in defeat.
Medusa ignored the comment, keeping a poker-face expression. Within an hour she led them to a forest. "My home is in here." she said, walking into the huddled mass of trees. Alice followed her in.
The two women, who had gone through this forest many times, flawlessly dodged the stray branches hanging from the trees and the green poison oak that littered the forest floor. It was soon dark and hard to see, though. "Brandon, keep up. This forest is dangerous at night and I don't want my work associates getting hurt." Medusa called behind her.
Brandon however, was scraped all over and his arms were covered in the oily poisons of the ivy. "It's not as easy as you think." he called, his cheek getting cut by an unseen branch.
"Hurry up, or we won't get there before Alec does." Medusa said. Alice simply chuckled.
"Wait, did you say 'before Alec does'?" he asked, raising his left arm to block the assault of twigs on his face.
"Yes. I know he's a Kishin, but he's also an orphan." Medusa said. "I took pity on him and took him in." Alice looked at Medusa like she was crazy.
'But you treat your own daughter like crap.' he thought, grimacing a little in pain and anger. "Really? You don't seem like the type to take in orphans. From what I've heard about you, anyways." he said, forcing himself to keep anger out of his voice.
"Well, he's letting me stay at his house, so that was the least I could do to repay him." she said emotionlessly, ducking below a branch. "That and I needed a new test subject."
"Oh, in that case it makes sense then." he said. Then, an exceptionally large branch snapped back from when Alice pushed it and slapped him in his face. "Dammit!" he yelled, his hand coming to his face. Alice chuckled at his misfortune.
Soon the three reached a small cottage. Medusa peered inside. "Good, he isn't here." she said. "I don't know how he would react seeing you two. He hates humans."
"If he doesn't like humans, how will we do our research, not knowing when he will be home?" Brandon asked, realizing they might have to fight, which would mess up their plans.
"If I tell him not to hurt you, he won't." Medusa said. "But if you try anything, I will take back that order and he will kill you." she looked at Alice. "And you should be careful. He's a bit of a pervert." the trio then walked inside.
"Great, he's a mix of Alice and I." Brandon whispered, monitoring his voice so he was sure no one could hear him.
Medusa led them to a spare room with a desk, a computer and a laptop. There was a two piles of paper, one was blank computer paper and the other was notebook paper.
"What research have you done already?" Brandon asked, curious as to how far the witch's knowledge extends.
"Well, so far I only know one thing; Magitachnology requires the use of large amounts of souls. Both human and Kishin." Medusa said. "Alec is collecting the human souls for me. Perhaps you would like to collect the Kishin souls?"
"That doesn't sound too hard. Just how would we kill the kishins?" he asked, playing to his character of being a regular human.
Not that Medusa couldn't tell he was lying.
Medusa retreated to another room and came back with green-tinted swords. "Use these." she said, tossing the swords to the two blades at the teenagers.
Alice picked up the rapier. 'Oh Mein Gott!' she thought. 'These swords are made out of Tekchnomalagois.'
"These swords are made out of the metal that you two need." Medusa said, as if reading Alice's thoughts.
"Looks like oxydized copper to me." he said, looking over the katana Medusa threw at him.
Alice stared at the sword in awe. "No, Brandon. This is DEFINITALEY Tekchnomalagois." she said, feeling the power emanating from the swords. She looked up at the witch. "Where did you get this?"
Medusa shrugged. "Ask Alec. He's the one who made them." the witch said, leaving the room.
"Alec made these, so he must've come in contact with a reaper." The meister said, thinking of what Alec did to said reaper to get the metal.
Alice nodded in agreement, before hearing the door open and footsteps. "Speak of the devil..." she whispered quietly.
She heard Medusa's voice first. "Alec, you're early."
After, she heard what she assumed what Alec. "Why are there humans here?" His voice sounded much like her own, but one could easily tell it was male.
"They're my new work associates. They came to help us create Magitachnology." she paused. "Don't hurt them."
"Alright, alright." Alec said. Alice heard the footsteps come towards their direction. The door to their room opened and in came Alec. He had a serious expression on his face. "Hello." he said.
"Hey. I heard many things about you." Brandon said, putting the katana through one of the belt loops on his jeans.
"Don't hear that everyday." The dark-eyed Kishin said sarcastically. "My name is Alec, but you probably already knew that."
"I'm Alice." Alice replied, trying to be polite.
"Brandon." he said, knowing that his working relationship with Alec will be a shitty one. Alec automatically didn't like him. "We better get going, Alice." he said, walking out of the door.
"OK." Alice said, giving a respectful nod to Alec when she walked past, he nodded back.
"I don't like him." he said as they walked out of his hearing range.
"He probably doesn't like you either." Alice chuckled.
"Most likely." he said, readjusting the sword.
Alice chuckled. "We should probably tell Medusa we're leaving."
"Yea."
Alice found Medusa in a bedroom in the back. "Hey, Medusa. We're leaving now, OK?"
Medusa turned to face the ex-Kishin. "OK, but be careful."
"We will." Alice replied' going back to the main room to talk to Brandon. "C'mon, lets go." she said, opening the door.
"Alright." he said, following behind her and closed the door when they left.
"Follow me." Alice said, once again maneuvering around the plants and branches perfectly. Brandon was still clumsy, but wasn't hit as many times as he stumbled through the thick shrubbery. "You're getting better at this." Alice complemented.
"Thank you." he said, pushing one branch out of his way. His leg then got caught in an ivy vine, and he let go of the branch to catch his balance, and the branch snapped back at his face. "Goddammit!" he called, regaining his balance, putting one of his hands on his face. Alice burst out laughing. "I swear to god, I'm about to buy a machete and cut this all up!" he threatened, getting pretty pissed.
Alice gasped. "Are you kidding?! This is where I grew up! If you cut any of it, I will murder you, and I'm pretty sure Alec would feel the same." she paused. "He probably WOULD murder you."
"I'd like to see him try." Brandon mumbled, pushing aside more branches. Alice chuckled again. They soon traversed the thick patch of plants, and emerged at the outside of the forest. "Do you see any?" he asked, glancing towards Alice.
"See any what?" Alice asked, confused.
"Kishins."
Alice used her Soul Perception to find some. "At the moment, the only Kishin I see is Alec." she said.
"Huh. Might as well start walking and try to find one." he said, beginning to walk in a random direction.
"OK." Alice said, following him.
They walked for about a half hour before they stopped again. "See any now?" he asked, readjusting the sword as it was getting uncomfortable.
Alice once again used her Soul Perception. "Right behind us." she said, whipping around to the forest behind them and drawing her sword. But there was nothing there. "What the...? Maybe it's in the forest..." she said, walking towards the trees.
"Where are you going?" he asked, removing his sword and began following her.
"I could have swore I saw a Kishin soul." Alice said walking closer to the forest. "...It's gone, now."
"I'd back up if I were you. It could be hiding it's soul and then attack you while you're investigating." he said, rotating the sword in his hand so that the tip was pointed towards the ground. Alice backed up a bit, waiting for the Kishin.
...Until Alec fell out of a tree.
"You need to work on your balance more." Brandin said calmly, not as surprised since he was preparing himself for a surprise.
"Why were you following us?" Alice asked.
"Lady Medusa told me to help." Alec replied, standing up and picking leaves out of his hair. "Can't say I'm too happy about working with a couple of humans but I have to do what she tells me to."
"You keep calling me human. You know that's not true." he said, knowing that Alec must've seen their soul to track them.
Alec glared at him. "I know for a fact you're human. The only difference between and the rest is the fact that you're half-insane. Almost like you're mocking us Kishin!" Alec said indignantly, then turned to face Alice. "She's not human. She's part Kishin. No normal human has such a peculiar eye-color." he said. "You're a Wendigo, aren't you?"
Alice nodded. "Yes."
"I knew there was something strange about you." Alec said, turning back to Brandon and glaring at him. "You're no different than the rest of those mortal scum."
"I suggest you temper the tone of your voice." Brandon said, struggling to control his rage. "Unless you want to burn in hell for eternity." he finished, his left pupil imitating a real fire.
"I'm guessing you want to die today, don't ya'?" Alec snarled, unsheathing his claws, before Alice stepped between the two boys.
"Would you two stop arguing? We're not going to get anything done with you two fighting!" she yelled. Alec immediately calmed down.
"My apologies." he said, re-sheathing his claws and crossing his arms.
"Sorry." Brandon mumbled, his pupil turning back to normal.
"Now that you've both calmed down," Alice said, glancing disappointingly at the two males. "We can actually get something done." then muttered. "I swear, I'm the only one with any sense around here." which caused a semi-amused, semi-annoyed look from Alec. Brandon remained neutral to the comment, trying to calm his burning anger.
"I find it funny how she hardly said anything, and you STILL got ticked off." Alec said, amused. "Anger issues, much?"
"It's not anger issues Ii can actually control my emotions very well. It's just that I hate you." he said, glaring at the male wendigo, the last three words practically dripping with intense dislike.
"Same." Alec replied.
"Well, now that we know each other's feelings, we should get back to work." Brandon said, turning away from the other male.
Alec raised an eyebrow. "Humans are so weird."
"No kidding." Alice agreed.
"Vaffanculo." Brandon said, confident Alec didn't know what he said as they began walking.
"Well fuck you too, Bastard." Alec replied.
Alice face-palmed. "Men..."
"So, your multilingual. Enfoncer fantastique." he mumbled, knowing Alec could understand him.
"Bilingual, not multilingual." Alec corrected. Let it be known that he regards the two words as the same thing.
Alice sighed. 'Men are such idiots...' she thought.
"Oui, vous ne savez pas français? Parfait." Brandon said, grinning.
"Je sais le français, dumbass." Alec said. "En, veistu íslensku? Что относительно русского языка? Ίσως ξέρετε Ελληνικά; "
"Já, ég. Да, Я Делаю. Ναι, έΧω κάvει. Tu loqui latina? Albo jak o polską?" he inquered, testing how far the wendigo's linguistic talent stretches.
Alec was about to reply, but Alice beat him to it. "If you're going to argue, do it in English." she yelled, fed up with not knowing what they were saying.
"Fine. But now I know you are one to keep secrets." he said, quickly shooting a glance at Alec.
"Who said I had anything to hide?" The witty Wendigo shot back.
"You said you were bilingual, meaning you know only two languages. Then, you spoke in Icelandic, Greek, Russian, and must know German since you live here. Since you know more than two languages, you lied about being bilingual. That, or you're just freaking retarded." the meister explained, grinning a little as he said the last line.
Alice was about to cut in and say that earlier he impied he only knew a few languages, but decided against it.
"Well, that's the only thing I'll lie to you two about." Alec said, leaning against a nearby tree.
"Im doubtful." Brandon said. "Cmon, we need to find some kishins." he said, and then began walking.
"Believe what ya' want, filthy human, but you'll regret that choice soon." Alec smirked, following Brandon and Alice.
"And for god's sake, if you call me 'filthy human' one more time, I'll rip out your damn tongue." he threatened, looking back at the male while keeping his head straight.
Alec chuckled before muttering something under his breath. Then Brandon's shadow flew out from underneath him, making him trip. Alice looked at Alec. "You didn't tell us you could use magic."
"You never asked." The Kishin replied, stepping on Brandon's head and walking over him. Alice walked around her meister, not wanting to hurt him but not wanting to help him, either.
"Fuck you too, buddy." he said, standing up. He then changed his soul wavelength to match the fire wavelength he memorized earlier, and superheated the ground beneath Alec's feet, causing the soles of his shoes to melt and then solidify to the ground. "See? You're not that special." Brandon teased as he pushed past the now-stationary Alec. Alec took his feet out of the shoes.
He hated having to wear shoes anyway.
"That's a copied wave-length. Not magic." Alec said, following Brandon. "If you could use magic, you would've already created the Magitechnology. Oh wait, no. You wouldn't have." he smirked. "The Academy has a rule against hurting humans, right?"
"Yes, but we are supposed to hurt and kill kishins. So technically, I could torture you to death right now and be rewarded for it. It's essentially government-sponsored brutality." Brandon explained, grinning a little.
Alice, however, looked alarmed. "Brandon, we never told them we were Academy Students..."
"He knows. That's why he asked that question." Brandon responded, turning to look at his weapon.
Alice took a deep breath. "If he knows THAT MEANS MEDUSA KNOWS, DUMBASS!"
"So?" he asked, thinking of a plan to get out of the situation. "We'll just say we've gone rouge since we hate Lord Death." he said lowly, so that only Alice could hear him.
"Brandon, me and Alec are the same person. If I can tell if someone is lying by just listening to their heartbeat, he can, too!" Alice whisper-yelled. "We can't lie to them!"
"I can slow my heartbeat by lowering my wavelength, remember?" he asked, thinking of the technique used to stop bleeding.
"Well, even though I'm good at lying my heart quickens a bit when I do! I can't do that soul thingy that you do!" Alice said. "Know what? What's the point of whispering? He's a Wendigo, he can hear us, anyway!" the ex-Kishin threw her arms up in frustration.
Alec, who was behind the duo, chuckled. "She's right~." he said in a sing-song voice. "What I don't get is the fact that you said we were the same person, Alice. Would one of you mind explaining? Tell the truth~!"
"Hell, he thinks we're crazy anyways." Brandn said, sighing in defeat. "We are from different dimensions. We just want to use the Magictechnology to get back to our origional dimensions. Oh, and Alice here?" he asked, leaving a pause fr dramatic effect. "She's you from her dimension. So, any weird fantasies you might've come up with is basically incest." he said, grinning.
"One; I believe you. Two; I've barely known her for an hour. And three; that would be self-cest, not incest." Alec said, running to catch up to the two. "Incest is pretty common among Wendigos, anyway."
"That's fucked up." Brandon said plainly, not really surprised by the weird habits of wendigos anymore.
Alice glanced at Brandon. "That's the only way to keep a bloodline 'pure'. I'm actually a hybrid because my mother was a human and not one of my aunts." she explained. "All five of them were killed by Academy students, but I didn't know them, so I don't really care."
"I guess that makes sense." he said, thinking about it.
"See? Not so weird now, is it?" Alec asked, while Alice face-palmed at the question.
"No, it's still freaking gross, but it makes sense in the context in which it is used." Brandon replied, seeing how extensive the male kishin's vocabulary was by using large words.
"I know." Alec said. "It does make sense that way. I don't see why it's illegal in America, though."
"There isn't really a reason for it to be illegal, but I think it's based on the bias of Americans wanting to be aesthetically 'perfect'." he explained, putting perfect in quotation marks with his hands. "Since most children who are born from an incest sexual intercourse have birth defects, I think it's just the government trying to establish the 'perfect' race." he explained, once again putting perfect in quotation marks.
"No-one is perfect." Alec and Alice said in unison.
"Exactly. But people want to be perfect, so by eliminating a variable that would hinder this perfection, they feel closer to being 'perfect'." he explained.
"Oh." Alec said. "But on the note of Alice being me, that would technically make her family, kinda' like a sister," he said, hugging Alice. "So, you can't touch her~!" Alice just looked extremely confused.
"Why? Do you want her?" Brandon teased, chuckling to himself.
"As of right now, she is MY property~!" Alec said, sticking his forked, snake-like tongue out.
"Well, too late for that." Brandon responded, then turned and walked away.
Alec walked after Brandon, followed by a confused Alice. "What do ya' mean, 'too late for that'?" the Kishin demanded.
"Nothing." he replied, a small grin growing on his face.
Then, Alice decided to speak. "Well, technically, neither one of you 'own' me. Being a Wolf Wendigo, I am loyal only to the first person I pledge my alleigance to- which would be the Death the Kidd from my universe. So I'm actually HIS property." Alec looked at her with a sad expression.
"We were just joking around Alice." Brandon said, a concerned look appearing on his face.
Alec looked at the meister confused. "I was being serious."
"Technically, she isn't property, so no-one can 'own' her." the meister replied.
"Says you." Alec said, while Alice looked at the two like they were idiots. "We should get her opinion on this!"
"My opinion?" Alice asked. Alec nodded. "My opinion is that you should both shut the fuck up."
Alec looked depressed. "You're so mean." he pouted.
"I'm just trying to educate him so that I don't have to work with a total dumbass." Brandon said, crossing his arms.
Alec glared at him. "FYI, I'm a purebred Wolf Wendigo, so shut it!"
Alice sighed. "In that case, he's actually smarter than me. A Wolf Wendigo's young recieve all the knowledge and memories of previous generations and since I'm half human, I didn't get all of my father's knowledge."
"I bet he doesn't know the average life span of a Great White either." the meister said, laughing a short chuckle.
"35-40 years." Alec replied with a smile.
"Congradulations, y read the picture books in kindergarten." Brandon said, not impressed in the least. "How abut something more challenging?"
"Sure." Alec smirked. "What was the first religion in the world and who created it?"
"Your 'sister' told me this. It was kishinhood and was established by King Xerxes and the Red Queen." he said,mremembering the story Alice told him.
"Nope. It was Hinduism and it was established by the Assyrians." Alec said. "Kishinhood happened a couple centuries after Buddhism."
"Well, sorry Mr. History. Besides, I hate history." Brandon said, not really caring. "Now that we've covered maritime biology and cultural history, how about some astronomy? What is eccentricity and what does it have to do with Earth's orbit?"
"Dunno." Alec said. "I've never gone to school, so I never learned that."
"Really? I would've thought that during the course of hundreds of generations, someone might've heard of it." Brandon said, winning a small victory of intellect in his mind. "Besides, Hinduism wasn't the first religion. Recent archioligical digs have found cave paintings and ritual tools used for religious sacrafices dating back about 100,000 years." he added in a matter-of-factly tone.
"Oh well," Alec said. "The Wolf Wendigo dynasty doesn't date back that long ago, so I wouldn't have known that anyway."
"That was in the newspaper this morning." Brandon said, remembering the headline he saw when he glanced at a newspaper stand.
The two Wendigos looked at him with a confused expression. "...What's a newspaper?" they asked.
"My god, what rock have you been living under for the last 100 years?" he asked himself, face-palming. "A newspaper is that small booklet made of paper you get delivered to your house every day that tells you the news. Hence, newspaper." he explained, removing his hand from his face.
Upon hearing the first comment, Alice quickly grew depressed. "I haven't been living under a rock..." she muttered.
Alec glared at Brandon. "Fuck you, too, buddy!"
"I'm sorry, I'm just still a little ticked off by Alec's presence. I didn't actually mean it." he said, completely ingnoring Alec while trying to reassure Alice.
Alec continued glaring at him. "Since she's me from a different dimension, that technically means that she's ticking you off by being here." he said narrowing his eyes. He swiftly turned the opposite direction, grabbing the back of his counterpart's shirt, and started walking. "C'mon, Alice. We don't need to deal with stupid, filthy humans like him!" he said, loud enough for Brandon to hear.
"And I don't need to deal with a fucking retarded wendigo talking the common sense out of the only Kishin who has some!" Brandon yelled back, becoming extremely enraged as he walked in the opposite direction.
Alice was about to reply, but Alec cut her off. "No, no. We don't talk to scum like him. Just stick with your own kind." he said. He turned his head and called back to Brandon. "And YOU stick with yours!"
"Mines more plentiful, more intelligent, and more ruthless than any fucking cannibal like you will ever be!" he called back, being forced to yell because of the large distance between the two separate groups.
This pissed off Alice to no end. "You're right, Alec!" she said, struggling out of his grip and walking beside of him. "I should stick with you instead of partnering myself with someone so inferior to me." she huffed angrily.
Brandon however, didn't hear her since he was so far away. He just walked, thinking about what happened. He soon found an instrumental store, and walked inside. There was only one cashier in the store listening to music through his headphones, so he didn't notice Brandon walk in. Brandon found a piano, sat down, and began playing 'I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace.
. . .
Alice-who was now in her Kishin form-and Alec, however continued to walk to the edge of the forest where Medusa and Alec lived. The male Wendigo smirked. "Wow, Alice. You look scary~!"
Alice's response was to punch a nearby tree, which sent it toppling onto a another and creating a domino effect. "Let's just get back to Medusa." she growled. "We'll just tell her that Brandon died."
Alec chuckled at her cruelty. "And if he even bothers coming back, we WILL kill him." he smirked.
. . .
As Brandon played the piano, he debated between going back to get Alice or just flying to Italy and live there. As he finished the song however, he came to his conclusion. 'I want to leave so badly, but I can't leave her!' he thought, his constant internal debate causing him to become even more infuriated. "Goddammit!" he yelled, slamming his fist down on the piano, causing a horrid chord of off-tune notes. The cashier then looked u at the noise and sighed.
"Du brichst es, kaufen Sie es." she said plainly, looking back down at the magazine she was reading.
"Ich weiß." Brandon mumbled with a growl, and walked out of the door.
. . .
Alice was half-way to Medusa's when she sensed the familiar wavelength and froze. Alec noticed this and looked at her curiously. "What's wrong, Alice?"
"That bastard is actually coming back!" she snarled angrily.
Alec narrowed his eyes and smirked. "Well then, I guess we'll have to kill him anyway." he said, licking his lips hungrily. "I haven't eaten for awhile and I'm famished."
"Same here. I haven't eaten a human for a long time." Alice said, waiting for Brandon.
As Brandon walked towards Medusa's house, his control of his anger and the being inside of him staining to be released was lost. He was body was filled with anger and seemingly endless power and his mind was filled with insanity. His soul became larger and larger, and the dust around his feet began blowing away due to the power radiating from his body. The familiar demonic wing soon appeared on his left shoulder blade, and the insanity material began crawling over the left side of his face. His teeth sharpened, and the familiar reverberation tone became part of his voice.
His eyes began glowing red with the fire-like pupils growing brighter and brighter. "I am going to slowly dismember him, and enjoy every scream of agony and fear he utters." he said, the reverberations gradually becoming stronger.
Alice could sense that her former meister was behind them now. She quickly turned and lunged, stabbing Brandon in the stomach. She twisted her claws and painfully ripped them out of his body. The gapping hole that was there filled in instantly, leaving only a grinning Brandon.
Alice narrowed her eyes angrily. "You are mocking us." she snarled. She then scratched the left side of his face, breaking through the insanity because of the Tekchnomalagois in her body. "I'll show you whose better." she stabbed through his jaw. "We're more powerful than you inferior humans!" she yelled, removing her claws.
His jaw quickly reattached itself, and the insanity on his face was quickly replaced.
"Stop doing that. It tickles." he ordered, the different pitches of his voice being echoed by the forest. He then raised his right hand and slapped Alice across the face with the back of his hand. The speed at which the impact hit her was nearly fast enough the break the sound barrier, sending her through eight thick trees.
"You." he said, raising his finger and pointed it at Alec. "Die."
A circle of insanity material instantly formed around the kishin's feet and spikes shot out, and converging on one spot, which was Alec's center of gravity.
Alec fell backwards and one of the spikes went through his stomach, making him gasp. Alice saw this and her rage tripled. She tackled Brandon and started to strangle him with a enough force to crush a normal human's neck. "You just tried to kill me..." she said in a raspy, paranoid voice, tightening her grip around his neck. "I won't let you do that!" she yelled, some of her claws digging into her old meister's skin.
Brandon simply stood up, Alice still holding onto his throat, and made spikes of the insanity material appear on his stomach.
When the spike hit her stomach, she instantly let go of his throat. Blood poured from her mouth and a tear rolled down her now blood-stained cheek. "Why are you doing this to us?!" she yelled, feeling hurt and betrayed by the only person from this dimension she trusted. "You humans are all the same!"
These words peirced through the insanity clouding his thought process, snapping him back to normal. "Alice!" he yelled as she fell off of his stomach as the spikes disappeared.
Alice glared at him. "Leave now! AND NEVER COME BACK!"
