Undead Unluck is so fucking good
Anyways, here's your chapter. Here's the Discord: /cgFmXz3qJ5
"Hey there, kiddos," Nesmith saluted, "Been awhile."
"Oh, God." Kevin groaned, as he formed a hammer with some of Rainbow in the Dark's DNA. "This clown again." His eyes then darted over to Chiffon. "And it looks like someone's daddy bribed them out of their prison cell..."
Chiffon was not amused there. "Damn. Thought Tennyson would be here with you...I wanted to show him my new toy."
"It's...it's time to come home, Penny," Elm said, Timber already in its hammer mode and in her hands.
"So your first loss to us wasn't enough for you? Any of you?" Weiss taunted.
"Shut it." Harriet frowned.
"You kids have done ENOUGH damage," Vine stepped forward, "Just come quietly, and maybe we'll work out a deal-"
"Please. No one ever takes the easy way out," Nesmith cut him off, as his armor began to shift. At the faux-hero's command, his arm transformed into a massive cannon-like device. It was sleek and freshly polished, adorned with various glowing buttons and switches indicating its complex controls. At the end of the cannon, a glowing purple orb pulsed on and off. The weapon crackled with energy as the air around it shimmered and distorted in tandem with the orb's pulsations.
"That's new." Ruby frowned.
"Latest tech, Red," Nesmith smirked, "Haven't gotten to test this thing out yet, though."
"And you wonder why we don't like you in charge," Cammie muttered.
"Oh shut it, Carmen."
"Cammie..."
"Just come peacefully. We're...we're not in the mood for fighting-" Elm began.
"Yes, we are." Chiffon huffed, preparing his wings, "I dunno what YOUR deal is, but at least I'm finally in the big leagues."
"Seriously? World's ending and that's all you care about?" Blake asked.
"Shut it, cat." Chiffon sneered.
"...does the general still intend to abandon Mantle?" Penny asked.
"Considering we've been ordered to bring in your sorry metal ass? What do you think?" Nesmith smirked.
"Nothing's changed then, including my decision..."
"A decision that put Winter in critical condition," Harriet hissed, "Yeah, remember her? The woman whose destiny you stole?"
"I'm sorry that she bore the brunt of the pain, but if Winter had received the Maiden abilities with those injuries, Cinder Fall would have just killed her and taken the power. This...was the only way." Penny defended her choice. "Fria chose me..."
"Besides, why did you need to lock Fria away again? It kinda seems, I dunno, very 'stripping of one's rights' to me?" Kevin asked.
"Wait who are...oh, right. You're the other kid with an alien watch," Nesmith chuckled, "Perfect."
With that, the purple orb flared as a similarly colored aura surrounded Kevin's body and shattered his crystalline hammer, before he was picking up off the floor and pulled towards the Ace-Ops' new leader.
"Kevin!" Penny yelled, activating her thrusters and rushing out after him.
"Penny wai-!" Ruby yelled, the door slamming shut in her face before the electricity came back. Harriet had activated the door remotely with her Scroll, smirking as the plan had gone off, even if Nesmith decided to make things more complicated than they needed to be.
"End of the line, kid!" Nesmith smirked.
Kevin grunted as he was pulled away from the other Outcasts. He quickly slapped down the AntiTrix and his body morphed, starting to grow scales, a long tail, and sharp spines on his back. His physical appearance became more menacing and raptor-like giving him an intimidating presence that would've frightened some of the rank and file soldiers. But the Ace-Ops, especially Nesmith, weren't really phased by his transformation.
"Which one is this..." Nesmith frowned, as he held the alien in his grasp. "Mungorex?"
"That guy's name is Humungousaur! I'm-" Kevin huffed. "Oh, whatever." He exhaled and unleashed a powerful burst of energy.
The beam refracted off of Nesmith's armor, like light refracting through a diamond, as a cyan blue shield made up of several interlocking hexagons appeared in front of the "hero" for hire. While the beam was still firing, the former Gele PR mascot raised his arm and slammed Kevin into the ceiling hard. Penny rushed in from the side and slashed at the shifted cannon-arm, forcing the millionaire would-be "hero" to turn off the gravity Dust. Penny went in for another slash with her weapons, before Harriet rushed in and landed a solid right hook to Penny's jaw, knocking her over the railing. Penny's thrusters made sure she didn't fall too far, letting the protector rise back up just in time to catch Kevin.
"Gotcha!" Penny said.
"Cute. It can simulate caring," Chiffon smirked.
"Thanks..." Kevin huffed, as Penny set him down. Kevin swung his mighty tail, striking several of the Ace Ops and sending them flying backward. As they stumbled to regain their footing, Kevin fired a powerful laser beam from his mouth that hit the remaining members of the team, sending them sprawling to the ground.
Nesmith, who managed to avoid the attack, raised his eyebrows in surprise at Kevin's strength. "Not bad," He muttered, reaching for his control panel. He pressed a few buttons, as his armor bulked up and music started playing.
Heavy guitars started blaring from Nesmith's armor as he flew towards Kevin at full speed. Kevin blocked his first punch and the other heavy hits that followed with his own arms, all while Nesmith's soundtrack boomed from his armor.
When I get high I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's a drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Nesmith grinned as his hand was encased in a hardlight projection of a massive fist and he smashed Kevin into the wall.
Penny was about to rush in and aid her friend in the fight against Nesmith, but yellow Aura limbs wrapped around one of Penny's arms and pulled her back. Vine yanked the Protector of Mantle back towards him, before Elm stepped in and rooted herself in place. The muscle of the Ace-Ops reared back and swung at Penny, landing a devastating blow to the android's midsection.
The hit knocked her back into Harriet, the speedster opening up with a flurry of melee strikes. Using her Semblance and leaping off the rails, a punch landed here, a double-kick landed there, another punch landed there, all before Penny spun around and landed a strong clothesline to Harriet's neck. The speedster thudded to the ground as Penny reared back all of the blades of her weapon, ready to bring them down on Harriet. A rocket fired out and exploded into Penny's back, knocking her off balance, just as Elm and Vine raced in.
Chiffon's wings unfurled and he took to the skies, soaring high above before dive-bombing Kevin. With a red glow in each of his wings, the resulting hit was boosted by a bit of fire. Slash after slash landed on Dinosaur Laser Fight's scaly hide, each leaving behind a trail of embers in the air, but the blades themselves only scratched the surface of the dinosaur-like alien's thick hide. Kevin then thrust his head forward and slammed it into Chiffon's, making him stumble back.
Cammie hesitantly looked at the fight between Chiffon and Kevin, the former dodging claw and tail strikes. If she didn't fight, Harriet might get suspicious. Damn it all! She got into a running stance, the pistons in her weapons readying themselves. Those mechanical legs she had worked on what felt like years ago now were finished. And she was going to use them to...fight one of the people who helped her get into the Ace-Ops in the first place.
Another goal of her's that was turned hollow by current circumstances. She rushed forward and landed a powerful, mechanically enhanced roundhouse kick to Kevin's stomach, knocking him off balance. Chiffon took the chance to go back on the offensive, changing the Dust from fire to wind.
Kevin gasped for air, his scales torn and battered from Chiffon's relentless assault. The dinosaur was angry and stared fiercely at the smug bastard. Chiffon smirked, but Kevin wasn't giving up. Kevin roared and attacked Chiffon, swiping at him with his claws. Chiffon evaded the attack, but Kevin swiftly struck with his tail and knocked the aerial bastard down. Chiffon hit the ground hard. Kevin's tail smashed the ground fiercely, but the undeserving Ace-Op narrowly avoided it.
Cammie knew she had to act like she was being serious here, so she'd 'lazily' assist Chiffon in the 'best' way she could. Cammie ran towards Kevin and Chiffon, her mechanical legs whirring with each step. She feigned a punch towards Kevin, who simply shrugged it off and continued his attack on Chiffon. Cammie didn't want to risk actually hitting Kevin so she did the bare minimum to support her "teammate."
As Kevin went in for another strike with his tail, Cammie fired a shot from her weapon that grazed his scales. It was only enough to distract Kevin for a split second and that was a good window for the wing-wielding extremist.
With his talons, Chiffon grabbed hold of Kevin's throat and spread his wings. With some boosts from the wind Dust in the wings' feathers, Chiffon was able to ascend with the Outcast still in his grip.
"Wonder how durable you really are," Chiffon smirked, "Nice going, Cammie. The general's sure to be pleased!"
Cammie watched in shock as Chiffon grabbed Kevin's throat with his talons and lifted him up into the air. She had expected the Ace-Ops to capture Kevin, but part of her expected one of the others, Vine or Harriet, to interject at Chiffon's more brutal capture tactics. They didn't even acknowledge it, too busy with their own battle against the new Winter Maiden.
Feeling queasy, Cammie took a step back and lowered her weapon. She had never been comfortable with violence and seeing Chiffon act so callously only made her stomach churn.
"Y'know, I'm still kinda salty about that training exercise...I don't like getting outsmarted by literal bugs." Chiffon frowned. Kevin grunted, as he slapped the AntiTrix for a quick change. Chiffon's talons were suddenly shattered, much to his surprise. He looked down to see Black Parade gently falling to the ground.
"S-shit! What the hell is that!?" Chiffon cursed.
"You didn't really see what I could do there," Black Parade hissed, "Remember, you got outsmarted by Ben. Not me."
"Well that's..."
"Really fucking unlucky for you, yeah."
"Not for me!" Nesmith yelled, shifting both of his arms into Dust cannons and began firing off blasts of pressurized wind. He hoped that, if physical projectiles didn't work, then maybe some with a bit more area of effect would at least stagger the ghostly form.
As for Penny, she was on the defensive. Thorn, Timber, and the Fast Knuckles were coming at her from every direction and it was only thanks to some Citrakayah speed that she managed to block every single attack. That was, until Harriet used her speed to leap onto Timber's hammer head.
"Ederne, NOW!" Harriet yelled.
Elm swung her hammer, giving Harriet an extra boost in speed. She prepared to tackle Penny, until her eyes lit up.
Make sure this only stuns her! Penny asked Eunice politely.
Right! Eunice nodded, as Penny's eyes got brighter and brighter.
Right before Harriet's fist struck, green lasers blasted the speedster and sent her flying back into Elm. The muscle of the Ace-Ops rooted herself in place and caught the speedster, bits of electricity bolting over her body.
"Are you-?" Elm started.
"Let go of me!" Harriet shoved her away.
"I'm trying to help-"
"Then focus on arresting her!"
"I...am trying...to hold it together..." Elm winced. "Can't you FUCKING SEE THAT!?"
"Now is not the time for an emotional breakdown! Just be strong and hit stuff!" Harriet yelled, "That's what you're here for. That's the only thing you're good at."
"OH! SO WHAT!? AM I NOT GOOD AT ANYTHING ELSE!? IS THAT ALL I AM TO YOU, BREE!?" Elm yelled, absolutely fucking enraged.
"You want me to be honest? Middle of a fight? Fine, I'll say it! THAT'S ALL YOU ARE, EDERNE! JUST THE FUCKING MUSCLE! NOW DO. YOUR DAMN. JOB!" Harriet yelled.
But those words were the worst that she could've chosen, because they made something snap inside Elm.
Her eyes lit up and she rooted herself to the ground, but then the roots started to climb up her body, coating her arms, her legs, her entire body in golden roots. Penny's eyes widened as she caught sight of it, deflecting an incoming strike from Thorn back to its owner.
Her stress levels skyrocketed! Penny mentally gasped. Did she...unlock her Berserker!?
Aura levels are spiking and are similar to Weiss'...so I'm gonna say yes! Eunice noted.
"Oh of fucking course, this happens," Harriet rolls her eyes. The Aura roots around Elm's legs dug into the metal walkway, weaving themselves into a much stronger anchor for the now berserk Ace-Op. Her eyes narrowed at who she should see as an ally, but right now, she just saw a source of grief and stress that she doesn't want to deal with anymore. Elm roared as she slammed her root-covered arms into the walkway, letting them weave through it in an attempt to grab Harriet and bind her in place, but the cold-hearted speedster jumped onto one of the guard rails and ran across it. She leapt off it and landed a powerful kick to Elm's face, before jumping back in and landing punch after punch to Elm's chest.
"...we'll just let them settle things," Nesmith said, taking off a device from his armor and tossing it over to them. A Hardlight barrier sprung up from the disc-like gadget and practically cut the room in half.
"Now about our ghost problem!" Nesmith smirked as his suit's circuits shifted to a yellow hue. Chiffon dodged all of the strikes from Black Parade in the air, unable to really land a hit. Cammie couldn't help but smirk at the trouble the extremist was going through.
"MacCloud!" Vine called out, being put on the backfoot in his duel with Penny, "A little help would be appreciated!"
Cammie's eyes darted between Vine's struggling battle with Penny and Chiffon's aerial skirmish with Black Parade. With no other choice, she swiftly activated her Semblance, tapping into her control over nano tech. Focusing her concentration, she directed her attention to the robotic rabbit legs that served as her weapons.
"I gotta make this look professional, then..." Cammie muttered to herself.
With a quick mental command, Cammie activated the nanobots embedded within the rabbit legs, causing them to come to life. The mechanical limbs sprang into action, their joints flexing and extending with remarkable agility.
As the duels outside continued, Ruby's Outcasts were doing everything they could to try and break through the door. Gunshots rang out as Blake and Ruby tried to just shoot the door down, but not even the high caliber rounds from Crescent Rose could punch through it. Weiss stepped in next, summoning up her trusty Arma Gigas. The glowing summon saluted as Weiss pointed to the door with Myrtenaster, making her order clear. The hulking suit of armor thundered up to the door and began slashing at it with its greatsword.
Once again, it had no effect. The summon looked at its sword and, seemingly in frustration, shoulder charged the door instead. Sparks of electricity jumped from the door to the knight and jolted through its body, disintegrating the summon into snowy white particles.
"Four against two? Cowards..." Weiss hissed.
"The Winter Maiden with the Unitrix and our favorite dumbass with the AntiTrix? I think they can hold their own for a bit," Ruby smirked.
I thought your favorite dumbass was Ben, Neo teased.
"I'm trying to be supportive, damn it," the red-hooded reaper pouted.
Back in the fight, Cammie raced in and tried to land an arcing kick to Penny's back, but the android Maiden was able to dodge out of the way and land her own double kick to the hacker's back. Cammie stumbled forward a bit before one of Vine's Aura arms caught and supported her. Vine spun Thorn in his free hand as her narrowed his eyes at Penny.
"On 3, we take her together," Vine muttered.
"Fine," Cammie sighed.
"Now is not the time to be second guessing ourselves, MacCloud."
"Not second guessing."
"Good. 1, 2-" Vine counted down.
As Penny prepared to counter their next assault, Vine and Cammie sprang into action. Vine unleashed a barrage of quick and precise strikes with Thorn, forcing Penny to defend herself. Meanwhile, Cammie utilized her robotic rabbit legs, rapidly propelling herself around the battlefield, launching calculated kicks and strikes towards Penny.
Their coordinated attack overwhelmed Penny's defenses, as she found herself struggling to block and evade both Vine and Cammie simultaneously. The combined strength and agility of the duo put intense pressure on Penny, making it difficult for her to counter effectively.
Such synchronicity! I thought MacCloud was a beginner... Eunice hummed.
She is! But I have heard her described as the Atlesian Ruby! She adores the Ace-Ops! Though, I cannot help but feel sorry for her here, Penny added. Floating Array was maneuvered gracefully with Penny's hand motions, the cable-controlled blades blocking throwing star slashes and bionic leg kicks with ease.
Nesmith took aim at Black Parade from below, his armor shifting from a cannon into a full-on claw, a bolt of lightning sustained between the pincers. Chiffon had noticed the yellow glow, even if a majority of his focus was on the ghostly Kevin, and he decided to bounce off that idea too. His wings gained that similar electric hue and he launched one of the feather-blades at the mutated Ectonurite. Kevin caught it with ease, but before his decay powers could kick in, the extreme patriot detonated the feather and gave Black Parade a low-level shock, just enough to stun him and knock him out of his intangibility. Nesmith launched his claw at Kevin at that point, trapping him in a constant stream of low-level shock, keeping him just stunned enough to prevent from going intangible again.
"Maybe this woulda worked better with Red, but you're like his best friend right?" Nesmith asked as the claw reconnected with his arm and his free hand was covered by a hardlight construct of a hammer. He smirked behind his helmet and began punching Kevin with the hammer, making sure to add some electricity to the hits, making sure they would really hurt.
The berserk Elm was just lashing out at this point, using her Aura roots as just full-on extensions of herself. She wasn't even using her hammer anymore now.
"You want me to just be strong and hit stuff right?!" Elm roared, "Fine! I'll be strong and hit stuff! I'll hit YOU out of ATLAS!" Her vines continued to slam into the walkway and guard rails, missing Harriet by a good margin at first, but then she got more accurate. A few feet turned into a few inches between the speedster and the berserk strong woman's Semblance. Harriet growled as she locked eyes with Elm and decided 'fuck it,' let's see how she handles a Berserker! The speedster's lightning trail flashed and now, Harriet had gone berserk as well.
Harriet's lightning trail sparked, unleashing an unstoppable power that fueled her berserker state. Her speed and strength intensified, matching Elm's ferocity blow for blow.
Harriet dodged Elm's attacks with incredible speed and precision. Harriet's determination grew stronger with every near miss, driving her to power up even further. She attacked Elm with a flurry of powerful punches and kicks, fueled by her intense berserker rage. Her blows shook the air and rattled everything around.
Inside the computer room, the girls heard the rattling and shaking of the Ace Ops infighting. "What the heck is going on out there?!" Weiss frowned.
"I dunno." Blake frowned. "Any chance any of us know some hacking?"
All eyes turned to Neo.
...what, you think just because I'm a criminal, I know something about hacking? Neo scoffed.
They all just stared at her.
...okay, I do, but that's because Albedo taught me some basic Python.
"So, not enough to get us through?" Weiss asked.
I mean do we -really- think a classified server room with your da-I mean, the general's personal computer is just gonna have the basic shit? Neo asked.
Good save. Blake thought.
"Hold on..." Ruby said, pulling out Crescent Rose. "I did harvest a bunch of the Proto Tool's tech. Maybe...I can rig up the hacker thingy Blonko has."
He has that? Neo asked.
"Yeah. If he used it to hack into Atlas' mainframe, then what's to say I can't use it to shut off an oversized bug zapper?" Ruby asked.
I'm not even gonna ask how something that turns into a sword and a gun has hacking gear, so I'm just gonna say go for it.
"Hey, scythe and gun, thank you very much. Swords are kinda boring." Ruby said, as she started to pull Crescent Rose apart.
I meant the Proto-Tool, Neo rolled her eyes.
"It's got 'tool' in the name, you should have expected-" Blake's sentence was cut off by something slamming into a nearby wall. There was now something jutting out of solid titanium and it looked to be an indent of someone's face.
"...holy-" Blake said, stepping away.
Uh...Red, you might wanna hurry, Neo signed.
Ruby squinted. "...is that Harriet's face?"
"Looks like it." Weiss confirmed.
"...yeah, I'm hurrying." Ruby quickly began pulling some wires out.
I mean...she kinda deserves it, Neo shrugged.
"Neo..." Blake deadpanned.
What? Am I wrong?
Yes, the fight between Harriet and Elm had gotten very brutal. A lot more brutal than Elm usually was; she had ensnared Harriet in her golden roots, and smashed her into the wall at full force, destroying the hardlight shield that Nesmith created to keep them separated.
Harriet struggled in her grasp, vibrating as fast as she could, maybe trying to 'weaken' the roots so she could break free.
"Should we...?" Chiffon started.
"Hey, their fight, their problem. You and me focus on the ghost, Zeke and Cameron focus on the robot girl. We got this. Besides," Nesmith pushed a button on the side of his helmet, turning on a small red light, "I need the footage." With that, he amped up the voltage in his claw and just shocked Kevin mercilessly.
As Kevin writhed on the ground in pain, Nesmith couldn't help but grin triumphantly.
Ironwood showed me some of his plans for Tennyson with those docs- I just decided to do my own variation. These tracer rounds pretty much disable the alien's nervous system by using a multitude of various energies- kinetic, electric, gravitational, thermal- it's my finest defense against anyone stupid enough to face me...can't wait to try them on Tennyson, Nesmith mentally praised himself.
Penny ducked under another swing from Vine, before she blocked a follow-up axe-kick from Cammie. The hacker turned field operative struggled against the blades before the android protector pushed her away. Cammie landed on her feet, but her eyes quickly shifted over to Nesmith and Kevin. Penny turned and followed her opponent's gaze. The minute she saw Nesmith basically torturing Kevin, the world around her froze.
And she felt cold.
Instead of fear or horror, she felt anger. Green flames appeared at the corner of her eyes as storm clouds appeared above her, materializing from thin air. Green lightning flashed within them as small snowflakes began to fall.
"Cammie, now!" Vine ordered, tossing his new partner a bolas infused with gravity Dust, a much more high-security binding for some targets. Vine extended out his Aura arms and grabbed Penny's arms, pulling them behind her back.
A camera swiveled on its perch, its lens adjusting as it transmitted the fight live to Weller's office. Ironwood watched the fight with a pleased smile, while Weller was horrified at Nesmith's electric torture.
"General, you need to call him o-!" Weller began.
"I don't need to do anything...because this is it. We have her," the general said coldly.
Eunice? Penny mentally warned, Brace yourself.
The green flames in Penny's eyes grew brighter, reflecting her seething rage. The storm clouds above her swirled ominously, crackling with green lightning. The temperature dropped rapidly as the snowflakes multiplied, creating an eerie and frigid atmosphere.
Cammie, recognizing the opportunity, swiftly reacted to Vine's command. She lunged forward, hurling the bolas infused with gravity Dust towards Penny. The specialized binding weapon soared through the air, its Dust-infused chains entangling around Penny's body with a powerful gravitational pull.
Sorry, Penny! But I hope you realize I didn't do this without leaving a little gift on the bolas. Cammie thought. She'd slipped some of her nanobots onto the bola, and they were 'chewing' through the wires.
Even with the gravity bolas pulling her down, Penny still stood, her eyes laser focused on Nesmith.
"You," Penny started.
Will not, Eunice continued, her rage equal with Penny's.
"Hurt our friends!" Penny and Eunice resolved, the latter's voice now audible to all, albeit underlaid with Penny's own. The winds grew colder, turning from a light breeze into a full on storm, with green bolts of lightning striking the walls of the room.
"What in the name of-?" Chiffon gasped. One of the green bolts lashed out at him, but he was able to block the sudden impact by swapping to hardlight Dust. The hexagonal-patterned shield absorbed some of the lightning strike, but the force of the attack still sent him reeling.
Even Elm and Harriet stopped in the middle of their fight, the two of them locked in a melee struggle, and turned to see the wrath of the Winter Maiden. A snowflake landed on one of Floating Array's swords, before the metallic blade was fully coated by an extra durable, extra sharp coating of ice. Snowflakes fell on the other blades as they two gained an extra icy blade.
"...okay," Nesmith said, still shocking Kevin, "Not quite what I was expecting."
"You will stop shocking Kevin." Penny warned, brandishing her powers. "Or I will not hesitate to slice you up-"
"Woah woah woah! Uh, first law of robotics?" Nesmith said, stepping away.
"Who said anything about killing?" Penny asked.
"...oh," Nesmith muttered. That really was all he could say, given the sheer fear that hit him as soon as Penny asked that.
One of the android girl's blades sliced through the cord of the gravity bolas, the restraints already weakened enough by Cammie's gift. Vine was about to jump back into the fray, only for a cold gale to blow, knocking Cammie and Vine off their feet and slamming them into the door that led into this cavernous room. With that, Penny's thrusters activated, their green flames now replaced with a Winter Maiden blue, and she rushed Nesmith.
After all, the millionaire hadn't released Kevin yet.
Kevin took the chance and gripped Nesmith's wrist, using his decay powers just enough to force the millionaire to release him. Good timing too, as Penny brought down her weapons in a cross slash across Nesmisth's armored chest, scratching up his new armor.
"Hey! This is freshly buffed!" Nesmith yelled, throwing a punch that Penny easily dodged.
"We don't care," Penny and Eunice said coldly.
Kevin huffed and puffed, reverting back to human. His whole body ached, but he couldn't just sit here and do nothing. His eyes locked onto Chiffon, who was stupid enough to go for a finishing blow on him.
"Big mistake." Kevin muttered, morphing into Blink-182. A bunch of eyes and their stalks quickly extended from his body, and combined into one massive eye.
Electric Eye. Kevin was too weak to even say the sentence.
One massive beam fired off and sent Chiffon flying into the cavernous chamber's wall. The extreme patriot's Aura flickered before he fell from the wall to the ground below. He still had Aura so he should be fine. Kevin looked back at the electrified door and then down at his hands.
"...Doppler, we need the others. And I got a dumb idea. Just in case this doesn't work out right, sorry about what I said earlier. Fucked up the wording," Kevin said as he reverted to human.
"Wait, the hell does that mean?" Doppler asked, "Wait, Kevin, what are you-?!"
Kevin weakly stood back up. "I got a plan. I need Conductoid DNA. Stat."
