A Bio-Weapon’s Rhapsody

Splat

"Alexa has arrived!" Alexa screamed to the high heavens as she landed! She had been gone so long that it almost felt like it was a couple months since she was around!

I mean, she was around! But not around around! Like everyone knew Alexa was around, everyone knew it was all about Alexa! But Alexa hadn't been around around in the sense that peeps actually saw her! They may be aware of her, but that was about it!

It was important for Ale to be the focus after all, she was growing! And Alexa like the biggest sister was letting her have her thing!

Even if everyone thought that Alexa was the little sister, Alexa was the big sister! She wasn't as big as Big Brother, but even so, she was still the big sister between Ale and Alexa! Ale may take care of Alexa, but that didn't make her the big sister! That only made her the responsible one!

Being responsible was boring after all!

"Hah?!" The [Fan Girl] put a hand above her hand and used it to clean her face off, looking at it then back to Alexa and finally to the [Meat Shield]. "…Why?"

Was she broken?

"Does Alexa need to fix the [Fan Girl] too?" Alexa was confused, then looked around and understood! She got what the issue was!

Alexa had arrived in the most stable easy and comfortable way possible, that is to say, she had materialized inside Ale and grow out! So that had made the splat.gif animation! Which meant that Ale's bits were all over the place!

Alexa had forgotten to clean after landing! But it wasn't Alexa's faults! She hadn't come out that often after all! She was rusty! If you didn't materialize out of the metaphysical space you would be like Alexa too!

"Nom!" Alexa nomed as she cleaned all over the place! "Slluuuuuuurrrppp!"

And just to make sure she also slurped it all!

"… Please don't do that again while I am watching…" The [Fan Girl] said pulling out a handkerchief from somewhere in the plane and using it to clean herself, which was weird. Alexa had licked everything out from them!

From the [Fan girl], the floor, the walls, the pod, the inside of the mouth (The [Fan Girl] had opened her mouth) and from everywhere!

Even though Alexa did her best! That was unfair! Why was Ale getting more freebies! Alexa was also doing her best!

"Even though Alexa came to fix [Meat Shield]!?!?!" Alexa said with a surprised/shocked face!

"… That is Ale's idea?" [Fan Girl] said sighing, "So you can fix them?"

Ale placed her hand on the glass window, because Ale had done it and then with the other hand, she snapped her fingies! Why? Because it looked coolz like that!

So with Alexa putting her handsie on the glass window, Alexa let her wiggles into the liquid. What? Alexa had already done that with Ale? Silly, that didn't count!

[Fan Girl] didn't saw that! So it didn't count! So Alexa had to do it again!

With that said, Alexa got to work!

First she started by the beginning! Alexa got her wiggles to take a nom out of [Meat Shield]'s Core. With that bit of [Meat Shield], Alexa started getting the blueprint of the [Meat Shield], it was kinda easy to be honest. Alexa didn't get why Ale was having such a hard time doing this?

Alexa just pulled from the [Banked Storage] the material and started putting things in the thing!

Alexa pulled some stone chunks and used her nanites to give it the right form, then pulling out some dirt, Alexa changed it into concrete and made it the right form, like that Alexa went plucking parts and getting them on the right form and sticking them in the right place. Easy.

It was like making a jigsaw and making sure it looked in the right form, Alexa knew the [Meat Shield] didn't need eyes or spots to listen. The blueprint said that he could see from anywhere within his body, so why did he make himself eyes and ears?

That was weird, like Alexa could see on the blueprint how he made himself a channel to eat, even though he couldn't really take in nutrients from the food, as far as Alexa could see from the modified blueprint, the [Meat Shield] was slowly grinding the food into dust and then absorbing that, he was burning Mana in the most inefficient way possible.

He could just parasitize whatever he touched and turn it into stone, that would be cheaper, Alexa knew there was an option on his [Core] options to do that, but why wasn't he doing that? Maybe he didn't believe he could be able to keep that to inside? Alexa could see how that could be an issue, he would not be able to touch anything!

That would be bad! Alexa would lose one of his [Meat Shields]!

Better to make sure he didn't use that. So Alexa with one of her fingies she plucked that bit of the [Core] and nomed it!

"Nom!" Alexa nomed it!

"…Was that necessary?" [Fan Girl] asked from the side as Alexa had plucked something from the pod and nomed it.

"Yes!" Alexa said nodding sagely, "This was a bad bit, the [Meat Shield] didn't want it, and he wasn't using it. So Alexa took care of it for him!"

Alexa was magnanimous like that!

"Almost done!" Alexa was almost done, she had formed the body and made sure to make the pod thingie bigger while she was at it! That was easier since she only plucked more and more materials, then made sure the space around expanded as well or it would break the flight thingie! Alexa didn't want to swim the rest of the way, that would be tiring. Also making the [Meat Shield] float would be annoying, they could use the [Fan Girl] as a way to move their boat though…

When Alexa was almost done, she then took a couple steps back, the thingie pinged and the door of it opened. The [Meat Shield] came out unsteady and then fell to his knees, was he sick? Did Alexa mess up some of the stuff when making him up? Alexa made sure she followed the blueprint though…

"That… Sucked… Hell…" The [Meat Shield] said as he gasped for air, which was weird since he didn't have lungs! Alexa checked! Alexa could have given him lungs, but they wouldn't have worked anyway.

"Welcome back big guy." [Fan Girl] smiled as she walked to him, "Feeling okay?"

"…What happened?" The [Meat shield] asked looking around, and when he turned to Alexa, Alexa waved at him! Hi! "Why is Alexa out? Weren't we with Ale?"

"Ale asked Alexa to fix you!" Alexa said patting her chest proudly! She had done the best! She did her very best, like no one else had done before!

Alexa had pulled out the parts and passed the test! She had built the [Meat Shield] as if it was her cause!

"We got ambushed." [Fan Girl] said with a sigh, "We knew they were expecting us, do you remember what happened?"

"…I was about to break the last wall, but there was an explosion and then nothing." The [Meat Shield] said shaking its head, Alexa could see how he was moving the bits and parts all around, like he was searching for something. Did Alexa miss something? She had pulled every bit that was in the blueprint…

Alexa went as far as to reproduce everything as best as possible! She even compensated some parts that had empty spaces!

"…Did they knock me out? And you had to come and rescue me? Do we need to escape a facility?" The [Meat Shield] said looking around, as if searching for something. "How long do we have to get to the plane?"

"… We are in the plane already." [Fan Girl] said shaking her head, "They… There is no easy way to say this…"

"They broke you!" Alexa said raising her hand, "Alexa saw it on the TV, they ratatatatatata and the [Gun Type Weaponry] broke you into pieces!"

Alexa then pointed to [Fan Girl], "She got splatted into the ground and knocked out… And Ale almost got knocked out!" Alexa had almost come out then! But it was an Ale moment, so she didn't come out!

"…That's about it." [Fan Girl] nodded at Alexa's statement, "You got peppered with the full brunt, I got knocked out and Ale… well, she did some crazy stunt to get us out… I didn't get to ask what she did before she made Alexa come out to help with your situation.."

"My situation?" [Meat Shield] asked confused, "Is that why my body is… off?"

"It isn't off!" Alexa complained, "Alexa didn't mess anything! She made it how it was supposed to be on the [Blueprint]! She checked! Right [Main Core]?"

"[Correct, the Artificial body was made up to spec according to the seeded blueprint within the System.]" [Main Core]'s voice came from Alexa's shoulder, like it should!

"…I see…" [Meat Shield] grumbled as his whole body shuddered for a second, Alexa was curious about what was happening, so she peeked at it. Using some of the Mana than she had nomed before, Alexa peeked to see what the [Source] looked.

Weirdly enough, the [Meat Shield] was carving the stops that Alexa had fixed, even if they were empty, why was he doing that? He was ruining everything!

He didn't need all those empty spots, why make the route for food if he didn't eat? Why make the opening for waste discharge if his body didn't create waste? Why make space for lungs? He didn't breath!

The only spot that Alexa wouldn't complain was that he made pockets, Alexa liked pockets, that was why her sundress mode had pockets too! Pockets were good. Alexa liked pockets.

"Well, thank you for the help. How bad was it?" [Meat Shield] asked turning to [Fan Girl], "Full debrief if you can."

"Well… There isn't much to it, Alexa very much described it." [Fan Girl] said pointing to Alexa, "They shot Bolter rounds through the walls into where we stood, I felt the attack coming since I was looking but didn't had enough time to warn you. So I did the second best possible, sent a burst of wind to throw Ale into the floor while I shot myself to the ceiling, as I was closer to the roof than the floor."

The [Fan Girl] then turned to the TV and waited a few seconds, only to sigh and turn yet again to Alexa, did she want something with the TV? Magmo should not be on the TV yet, it was early!

"Can you do the thing Ale does?" [Fan Girl] asked, the thing that Ale does? Being edgy? "You know, the whole transmit what happened there?"

Oh that!

"Yes!" Alexa said and pointed at the TV, "[Main Core]! Do the thing!"

And sure enough, [Main Core] did the thing!

The TV turned on and started showing the chapter in question!

"… So there were cameras, I though Ale had blocked them." [Fan Girl] said frowning, "Did she not deal with them?"

"Yes!" Alexa said nodding, "Ale broke those, but Alexa is using the ones [Big Brother] hid away!"

Alexa was not really using any special camera, she was just replaying the last chapter, but if she got into explaining how that worked they would be here for ages! And we don't want to spend even more time on this subplot anyway.

Then they all focused on the video, Alexa took this chance to sit on the comfortable sofa that has always been on the room and that she totally didn't make out of nothing, as she sat there all comfortable, Alexa pulled out her favorite brand of popcorn and started eating, taking sips from her favorite mango juice here and there.

"…How did I survive that?" The [Meat Shield] asked when the video got to the bit where he was turned into debris, "Am I even the same person?"

"Your Core was salvaged from what I understood." [Fan Girl] said placing a hand atop the shoulder of the [Meat Shield] person, "Ale didn't say anything about you being dead or anything of the like. Nor did Alexanders…"

"Alexanders? What did he have to do with this?" [Meat Shield] asked confused, of course Big Brother had to do! He was important! The struggles of the lesser cast members were the amusement of Big Brother! Alexa knew that, everyone knew that!

"He offered to heal you." [Fan Girl] said sighing, "Ale refused on principle since we didn't know if you would take it."

"Why wouldn't I take the deal?" [Meat Shield] asked confused yet again, did Alexa mess something on his head?

"Because it would be boring!" Alexa chimed up helpfully. "It would ruin the fun!"

"He couldn't guarantee you keeping your powers." [Fan Girl] said nodding at Alexa's statement, "Ale didn't say how much the chances were, but something about either you losing your powers entirely, not being able to recover them, or ending up turning into something else."

"Oh." [Meat Shield] deflated a little, "That makes sense… I… I am not sure what I would have picked."

"According to Ale, she told Alexanders that if you wanted to follow that path, she would help finding the materials to do the procedure ourselves." [Fan Girl] smiled, "So while you can't take it right now when we land in Aquila. We can do it later, when you have time to go over the data."

"And it can be another adventure!" Alexa said jumping on the couch and raising her fist to the skies, "We can have fun going around picking up the parts to make the machine ™️!"

"What she said." [Fan Girl] said pointing at Alexa yet again, she liked to point too much! What was the point at that point!

"I see…" [Meat Shield] grumbled in the way a pile of rocks would grumble, "Then I owe yet another favor to Ale… And to you Alexa."

"Yes!" Alexa nodded at that, it was good that he knew it, "Ale is coolz like that, she is the most beautiful after all! Or would she be the coolest now? She is all edgy nowadays… Alexa is still the prettiestest, but maybe Ale wants to change that one too?"

"Speaking of change…" [Fan Girl] said with a sudden frown on her face, "Will you explain why you arrived like that?"

Like that?

"You both didn't change like this, and for a second I think I caught something on Ale's face." [Fan Girl]'s eyes sharpened as the mana around them seemed to struggle, it couldn't decide what side to take!

Silly Mana, it was obvious that it didn't have to pick a side, they were Alexa's team after all, we all were in the same side!
