A Bio-Weapon’s Rhapsody

"Alexa is full!" Alexa had been noming nonstop since they told her to start noming.

She had pulled out her infinity ultra super powered auto refilling mega ultra duper special Sippy cup!

The [Meat Shield]'s mana tasted like dirt, sand, and parts of it tasted kinda like when Alexa nomed her arm to see how an Alexa tasted? Probably the taste of mana, or maybe it was some parts of the Core that had leaked? Alexa was not sure. The case being that Alexa had been drinking from the sippy cup for ages!

[Fan Girl] had been speaking with [Meat Shield] about this and that, all the while Alexa had been focused on drinking from the sippy cup. At the start [Fan Girl] had tried to help with some of her weird portals, but that only made the taste turn weird!

Like someone suddenly added lemon to ah earthy salad! Granted, lemon was kinda a match for a salad most of the time, but the sudden spike of acidic flavor in her meal made her cough! Alexa had a fit of cough!

She coughed so much that she almost spat half the mana that she had nomed already!

It didn't mesh! The taste didn't mesh!

[Fan Girl] tasted slightly of ashes and wind, while [Meat Shield] tasted like beef meat and potatoes!

[Fan Girl] was more like a meal that was settling and someone hadn't decided what to make after burning it, while [Meat Shield] was already done, and they were on the way to do the finishing touches!

And that was how Alexa spent the next… however long it was, Alexa was not sure, she hadn't paid attention, she just spend the time sipping, sending the Mana to [Main Core] to deal with it, and then sip again. That's what Alexa did, and what she needed to do, so she focused on doing that!

"We are landing in five minutes, please deploy the seats from the walls. Follow the instructions on the projection." The Taxi guy said from one of the speakers on the wall, and with that Alexa let out a burp.

"*Burp*" Because her tummy was full! Of air! And Mana, mostly air though! "Alexa is full!!!"

"Good job Alexa," [Fan Girl] said standing up and stretching, "Sorry about before."

Turns out, whatever they had spoken while Alexa was hard at work using her sippy cup was enough to get [Fan Girl] to admit her wrong deeds!

"Alexa forgives you [Fan Girl]!" Alexa was magnanimous like that, "But don't do it again!"

It was important to let them know that they shouldn't do bad things again, or they would never learn! So Alexa told her, like the responsible big sister that she was! Well, Alexa was not the big sister of [Fan Girl], but it was important for her to show that she was a capable sister!

And one showed that by showing other lesser sisters that Alexa was a better sister!

Besides, [Fan Girl] was the [Big Sister] of Ale, but that didn't make her a [Big Sister] to Alexa, nor a [Sister] even! Because it was a relationship between [Ale] and [Fan Girl]! It didn't have anything to do with Alexa after all.

"Alexa calls dibs on the middle seat!" And with that said, Alexa ran at Match 777 towards the seat in the middle! Even if there wasn't a middle, since only two seats showed up.

"I'll brace myself to the floor I guess." [Meat Shield] said looking around, no seat had showed up for him, but then again, he was a [Meat Shield] and a pile of rocks, everyone knew that neither used seats! They used stuff on the walls to hand them or just put them on the side of the yard.

But never on a seat!

"I assume the mana limit is gone, so worst case scenario I'll use my Core power to fix you to the ground." [Fan Girl] nodded at [Meat Shield] as she walked at a brisk pace to her seat.

She walked the walk of defeat! Because Alexa had the good seat, heheheheh. Wonder how was she going to use her [Core Power] to keep [Meat Shield] stuck in place? Was she going to just blow at him so he couldn't move?

Alexa didn't know if wind worked like that, well, when they pointed a big ass fan at Alexa and put it at high speed then Alexa wouldn't be able to walk forward, and she may get blown away…

Actually… that may work, didn't this make [Fan Girl] a fearsome opponent? She only needed to blow in Alexa's direction and Alexa would be neutralized! [Fan Girl] such a fearsome opponent… Alexa would need to keep her guard up against [Fan Girl], so long Alexa didn't give her an opening, then everything would be fine! Alexa had to believe!

"And touchdown, thank you for traveling with our Taxi company, please leave a good review in case you enjoyed the travel." The Taxi guy spoke through the speaker system one last time as the thing they were in made touchdown with the ground.

Alexa could feel it as soon as they made the land, it felt right. Like how it was the intended method to arrive. So Alexa stood up! The unbuckle your belt sign had turned on after all!

"Was that there before?" [Fan Girl] asked, she didn't saw it before?

"Yeah, it was there when we got into the plane." [Meat Shield] said defending Alexa's right to have an unbuckle your belt sign as excuse! Good job [Meat Shield]!

"…Right…" [Fan Girl] didn't seem happy about it, but she couldn't do anything, [Meat Shield] hath spoken!

Now all Alexa needed to do was go and grab her things! What things you ask? Her things! Her most important things! Everything she had pulled out together for the travel! Everyone knew that when you travel overseas you have to get your things in order! Organize the luggage by color codes and all that stuff!

And if Alexa was traveling, then you can be sure as heck that she did her bestest job when organizing her things! She prepared everything she could ever need for this adventure! Everything that an Alexa growing up could need and…

"Le gasp plus ultra!" Alexa did another le gasp, "Alexa forgor the most important thing of her luggage!"

"… All your stuff was already shipped." [Fan Girl] said as she stretched and prepared to leave, she was not going over her luggage either! Did she think this was a game?!!?? "Just like our luggage, everything we need is provided by the school and Hephaestus' Forge, whatever else we wanted to bring on the plane is in our person. Ale probably shipped whatever you missed."

"Exactly." [Meat Shield] stood up, he didn't stretch though, since he was rock solid.

"But Alexa has her sippy cup here!" Alexa said raising her sippy cup, she had been using it as a mana focci, but right now it was a normal sippy cup again, "So if Alexa has her sippy cup, then shouldn't Alexa also have her spork?"

And Alexa didn't brought out the spork! So it was lost! Alexa would not be able to eat again! How was she supposed to eat without her spork?!?!

Blasphemy!

Utter undiluted blasphemy!

"… Do you trust Ale?" [Fan Girl] suddenly said as she moved to the door, "If you do, then you have to trust that she made sure your spork was there in the luggage."

"… But… "Alexa couldn't refute that! She trusted Ale, Ale was the responsible one! Ale always made sure that Alexa had everything she needed after all, she had even made plans to make Alexa's breakfast! "… Alexa trusts Ale…"

"Then let's move." [Meat Shield] said lowering himself and compacting the rocks around his body, he was compressing and pulling the parts of his body closer and closer, turning more dense by the second. "I can't keep this form long, so as soon as we are out of the plane I will need to discard the extra mass."

"Then onwards!" Alexa said pointing towards the exit door… Which was there! "To adventure!"

"Have a good day." And as they left the plane, the Taxi guy waved at them, "Please leave a rate and review on the website, that helps."

Did it help? But even if Alexa enjoyed the travel, was it that good to merit a review? To merit a rate? Alexa was a busy Alexa! She couldn't just waste time like that!

But the Taxi guy did his best too… And Alexa would be sadge if he lost motivation because someone as Cute and lovely as Alexa didn't leave him a review or a rate… ugh… Fine! Alexa would leave a rate and review! She was a grown up responsible girl! She could do it! If Alexa could do it, everyone could do it!

"Alexa will leave a like, comment and will go as far as subscribe Taxi guy!" Alexa said waving at the Taxi guy as [Fan Girl] ushered Alexa towards the exit of the airport thingie. Alexa could see so many planes around!

Why did he park in an airport? He was a Taxi driver, he shouldn't park here! This was for planes!

"I don't think you can subscribe to a taxi driver." [Fan Girl] said shaking her head, "But I'll remind Ale about it later, she can do it for you."

"Good idea!" Alexa said nodding enthusiastically, Ale was the one that dealt with the influencer, content creator world! Ale would know how better to deal with him, maybe they could even do a collab! The clash of two worlds!

Alexa would enjoy watching that video, she would look forward to it! She wouldn't stop watching Magmo to see it, but she would go and watch the video after Magmo was done! It was that important!

"So?" [Fan Girl] then turned to [Meat Shield], he was returning after dropping his excess rocks with one of the workers, "Where to now?"

"We can go and check our accommodations, assuming they indeed can give us a place to stay… We can go and scout the schools and the area around." [Meat Shield] then turned to Alexa, as if wanting something from Alexa. She didn't have candy! She came in a rush to help them. She didn't have time to grab her travel candy! "Or we can go and see if the apartment Ale prepared will be enough to accommodate us."

"That one I don't think will be enough." A voice came from behind them.

Alexa recognized that voice and dashed away at Match 42! She molded her Mana, prepared her body, did the calculations required to maximize the amount of kinetic energy she could compress and with that done, she threw all that data at [Main Core] to ensure it was okay.

When she received the confirmation half an attosecond afterwards, Alexa launched herself at ballistic speeds!

"[Big Brother]!" Alexa was flying towards her target!

"Oof…" And the impact was the stuff of legends, it was so powerful that half the galactic cluster was annihilated! (It was, in fact, not annihilated) "Careful there."

[Big Brother] said with a smile as he put her down, he did at least, spin around to kill the momentum and bleed away the kinetic energy and slowly let Alexa down. No one understood Alexa like [Big Brother], most would have attempted to keep Alexa, as if Alexa wanted uppies. But Alexa was a grown girl, she didn't crave uppies anymore!

She was a mature big girl! Not like other kids that just went around asking for Uppies! No sir!

[Big Brother] also was wearing his white lab coat, and Alexa didn't want to spill something on it, it was hard to clean after all, what if the [Mom] person got angy at Alexa for dirtying it!

It was a [Mom] person's responsibility to do laundry! Alexa didn't want the [Mom] person to get angy at her! What if she didn't make Mango pancakes for Alexa! What was Alexa supposed to do!

"Sorry for the surprise visit." [Big Brother] turned to [Fan Girl] and [Meat Shield], "Ale sent a data file my way while you were in transit, so I came to check on you. Everything in order? The med-pod should have fixed most of your issues…"

[Big Brother] was looking at [Fan Girl], as if he was looking for something, while his face remained as carefree and coolz as always. Because [Big Brother] was coolz like that, even cooler than Ale in some aspects! Which was almost impossible to achieve for normal [Humans]!

Alexa knew! Alexa knew that inside [Big Brother] was frowning! He had the weird mind eye of his frowning!

"Yeah, everything all right." [Fan Girl] answered with a shrug, "Can't say I have gone over many of those, would have loved to have one when I woke up the first time after that whole ordeal. Would have spend less time dealing with those shrinks and quacks your company hires."

"Yeah, sorry about that. Don't have that many to go around, the material is somewhat exotic." [Big Brother] answered back with a smirk, "I mean, if you are willing to fork over the money I don't mind leaving one with your name on it."

"As if," [Fan girl] shook her head, "If they are that rare why was two on the plane then?"

"Because my sister was gonna travel in that one, obviously." [Big Brother] said with the eyes he used when speaking with less intelligent people! Alexa knew those eyes, "The second was in case the first failed… I hadn't planned or accounted you two being… what's the word…"

Oooooh…. [Big Brother] was mad! Alexa didn't get to see him mad often!

"[Weak]." The word was said with enough gravitas that Alexa felt the gravity around them shift and turn heavier! "Yeah, that's the word. I mean… Who even gets taken down by normies using guns. Like, seriously… They weren't even Villains, we don't call Heroes to deal with them. I usually call security… Like…"

[Fan Girl] wasn't able to answer! Neither [Meat Shield], and [Meat Shield] was twice as big and five times heavier than [Big Brother]!

"I thought to myself… That toaster has enough B-List and C-Tier grade Core Users working as Minions… they should be safe…" [Big Brother] then pointed at Alexa! So Alexa waved! Hi! "So tell me… Skye Venti was it? Why did you allow my sister to come that close to death?"

"I am Fairy Team lead-" [Meat Shield] started moving forward raising his arm towards [Big Brother], but he didn't get far.

Why you ask?

"Shut it Eduardo." Because [Big Brother] raised his open palm in the direction of [Meat Shield], a discharge of lightning came out of his hand and hit him straight in the chest.

Why though? He was a pile of rocks, Lightning didn't work on ground/rock type! Everyone knew that!

Wooosh

Or should be like that, because the next second [Meat Shield] rose above the ground by like half a meter before being sent flying against one of the closest (And sturdiest looking) planes near them. [Meat Shield] attempted to dislodge itself from the plane only for his arms and legs to get stuck back on the plane.

Alexa did not know Lightning worked like that.

"I am speaking to you Skye Venti." [Big Brother] said as his hair started to shine in golden light, as if it had turned into plasma, even his eyes now seemed to radiate blue lightning, "Or do I need to use that other name? Bella Campbell was it?"

"*Le gasp*!" Alexa couldn't help but do a Le gasp! [Big Brother] was name dropping names! He was angy!
