Turns out, the smoll insects that looked like the [Ants] that got stuck in the hive-like city tasted bitter, "Bleh! Bleh I do say!" Alexa ended up still eating a few to see if she could get something out of it, but she didn't got enough to make it worth her time.

 

“[Blueprint only is viable for small scale reproduction, currently it is impossible to shrink the size of the physical Main Core, so a shift into one of these would end with host unable to access my assistance.]”

 

So Alexa would end up stuck in any blueprint that couldn't hold an AI Core till she was able to shift manually, and Alexa didn't want to shift manually since it was a bore!

 

A bore!

 

She had done it before because she could stick the naggy one into the body halfway through and not deal with the consequences, but if she didn't have Main Core to help. The shift would need to be done manually…

 

And Alexa wasn't sure if she could pull the naggy or the mean one manually witouth Main Core as a middlepoint, she had been using his AI Core as middle point to link their [Consciousness Streams] together after all. Could they even exist without that link?

 

"That is something for someone more smart to worry about!" Alexa nodded while she stood from the dining table; there wasn't more food there anymore since the PB & Jelly sandwich was the last food there.

 

".... I'll murder you," "Come on now, don't be rude. You will not die for skipping breakfast…I know it myself since you didn't give me Mango Pancake before."

 

"Like the mean one or the naggy one!" Alexa would leave it to them to worry about. For she had more important things to worry about! "To the washroom!"

 

Like washing her teeth!

 

Cute girls washed their teeth!

 

For some reason, Alexa wasn't sure why, her teeth always remained white and pristine, she made sure that a regiment of Nanites stood at the ready to keep her teeth in perfect condition, she needed them. One couldn't nom without them nomskers.

 

If she wanted to fulfill her dream to nom the world, she needed her nomskers to be at 1000000% efficiency.

 

"First!" Alexa said as she placed her stool in front of the sink, "We grab our nomsker cleaning utensil!"

 

Alexa grabbed the toothbrush that Ale used before, she kind of didn't want to use this one since Ale used it before, but she needed to clear her nomskers…" Curse you mean one!" Even so, Ale flooded the thing with nanites to make sure it was clean and pristine, away from the germs of the mean one.

 

"First of all, we have the same germs, secondly…that is to said, none since the nanites clean us all time. Also I rebuilt that thing after using it, it is clean!" "Main Core, buy a set of three toothbrushes, two for kids, one for adults…and a couple spares."

 

"Oh oh! I want a mango-flavored one!" Alexa quickly said her preferences. It was important to say them.

 

“[Setting up buying of toothbrushes….sending it for approval…approved. Delivery estimated within 24 hours.]"

 

"That was quick…" "We could probably buy it at any store, but Alexa has classes today so better this way."

 

"Yay!" Alexa smiled as she brushed her teeth, it made her giggle since the toothpaste tasted funny, how could something taste cold and minty?

 

"Next!" Alexa said raising her hand with the toothbrush, "We spit the thingy into the water thingy!"

 

And afterward Alexa spat the weird white bubbly foamy liquid that was made from the toothpaste and cleaning her nomskers.

 

"Now we wash the mouth!" Alexa said filling her cute cup filling it water, then gulping the water and making gurgles with her water. Alexa wasn't quite sure why it was important to gurgle gurgle using the water, but she did it nonetheless.

 

Most of the foamy white bubbly thingy would be washed away with the water, but Alexa didn't have a problem with following the instructions of how to wash her nomskers.

 

When that was done of gurgling the water for a couple seconds she spat the water on the sink and smiled at her reflection, her nomskers shone white after being cleaned, the maintenance cycle was done! Done!

 

"Done!" Alexa was done!

 

"And now with that out of the way we move to the next part!" Alexa said, doing her copyrighted high-speed movement, one step, a thousand jumps across a million yards! (She let herself fall to the ground from her stool).

 

"To the room of changing!" Alexa said as she ran, getting to her room in less than 10 parsecs! (She got there in 47 seconds).

 

Once she returned to her bedroom the first thing she did was shed her mortal coil(She threw her pajama to The chair, the next step was to get her uniform, the mean girl had left it ready for her on the bed after she woke up. So one step at a time Alexa dressed herself up, first the socks, then the blouse, skirt, blazer, necktie, ribbon, and finally her shoes!

 

Cute black shoes, Alexa finished dressing herself and then ran straight at the speed of…a very fast Alexa to the mirror!

 

"Perfection!" Alexa said as she admired her handiwork!

 

"[Fixing up and tidying up uniform, reconstructing buttons and afixing them in the correct order. Leveling up ribbon to make it parallel with the ground…adding up a couple hair ties and ribbons to make twin tails using host's extra hair….]"

 

".....what the hell?" "Maybe we could add nail polish? I think pink would look cute on Alexa."

 

“[Denied, school regulations prohibit the use of make up on students… Cleaning up toothpaste remnants from host’s face…]”

 

"Perfection!" Alexa smiled at her reflection, it was perfect and Alexa had done it all by herself with almost close to no help!

 

“...” “...” “[....tying shoelaces.]”

 

"Now we run!" Alexa prepared herself to burn all her energy to run straight to the school!

 

“[Host needs to carry the backpack or the tablet.]”

 

"After grabbing our Mango shaped backpack!" Alexa said grabbing her backpack and getting it ready, the first step that she took let her get a feeling for the feeling and limits of her current clothes.

 

She had full confidence in her clothes, they had been prepared especially for her, all ready and sturdy. She would use the full might of her body!

 

So Alexa took the second step! The third! The fourth! The fifth! The-

 

"We get it,"

 

…" Everyone is a critic," Alexa grumbled and merely walked to the front door, the morning sun was barely coming out and the outside was quiet, more than usual.

 

“*Yawn*....Alexa? What are you doing this early?" [Fan Girl] said from the side, the girl was stretching outside her room, currently she was wearing an oversized white shirt and…Alexa was not sure what else since that shirt covered most of her upper body. "Shouldn't you be sleeping? I was doing some morning exercises and thinking about what to make for breakfast."

 

Her breakfast?

 

"The mean one made breakfast!" Alexa said nodding her head sagely, why? She didn't know! But people around nodded and shook their heads way too much! "I got PB & Jelly Sandwiches, the Mean one ate Toast with Jam and the naggy one was going to eat toast with butter!"

 

Of course, she was going to! Not that she ate! Hah!

 

"I see…well the note they sent said to give you a light breakfast so I guess that is okay…But you want to go anyway? They said we could skip a few days if you needed." [Fan Girl] said worry on her eyes. "It's okay, we can go to the park or to the atractions park."

 

Alexa was tempted!

 

Very tempted!

 

"I would love to see an attraction park," "Maybe we can check it out and bring Sam later?"

 

But Alexa would not waver! She had made a promise! A promise with [Karla] and [Alan]!

 

"Who?" "Oh the kids right, the cocky precocious girl and boy."

 

Yes! The cockatrice girl and boy!

 

"Alexa will not waver!" Alexa ended up saying after the mental debatable! "She made a promise, and a promise was made!"

 

Yes, that! Alexa did it well to express her feelings!

 

“[Saving up…]” “Hey Alexandra…isn’t Main Core acting kind of weird?” "Now that you mention it… what's the deal with this ball?"

 

"I see…" [Fan Girl] said, smiling at Alea, "So you made a promise with your friends…do you want me to take you there?"

 

Did Alexa wanted to? She was not sure, last time she got someone to take her to school they found Meli-Meli on the floor….then after that….Alexa got sent to the [Clasroom of the Elite]... No wait, then didn't that meant that if she got someone to take her to school more interesting things would happen?

 

"Yes!" Alexa liked that, perhaps this time they would end in an alternated world filled with Mango creatures for Alexa to [Devour].

 

"...why does it feel like you are getting a misunderstanding?" [Fan Girl] asked from the side, but Alexa paid no mind to it! For she would reign over the Mango as the…Mangosident of the new world!

 

….Would becoming a Mangosident make her Mango? Would she need to nom herself? But she had tried that before and while salty, Alexa was not particulary tasty….

 

*Nom*

 

"...Why are you biting yourself?" [Fan Girl] asked while walking to the door into her apartment, "Anyway, wait for a second I need to fetch a pair of pants and a new jacket."

 

"*Nom* Aye sir!" Alexa answered with a salute while she continued licking and noming her hand, for some reason she couldn't bite through the skin into the fatty tissue, and her skin while one of the most cutestest things in all the world, was not tasty.

 

If anything, it was slightly tasteless? Not really; she could taste the oils her body produced and the beginning of sweat that gave her a slight salty undertaste.

 

But even so, she couldn't make her teeth pierce the skin. Why?

 

"Because it will hurt?"

 

“[Notice, there is a hidden failsafe installed within Brain, it prevents hosts from actively hurting herself using her own means.]”

 

…So her [Brain] was stopping her from noming herself?

 

The horror!

 

"If I become a Mangosident, then I won't be able to taste myself!" Alexa said, struck in horror at the realization.

 

"You can always become a cannibal," [Fan Girl] said coming out from the apartment mere seconds later. She had changed into a pair of jeans and now she was wearing a black jacket. "...Actually, don't become cannibal if possible, at all. Keep eating mangos only."

 

But Alexa liked to eat meat!

 

Her nomskers were made to eat meat!

 

"B-b-but meat..." Alexa said making up her most adorablcutestest face of them all, she would fight for her right to nom on the meat! The rat meat! The human meat! The hamburger meat! All the meat!

 

...she needed more samples of meat to increase the might of her arguments.

 

"...Alexa you can eat without being a cannibal, that's what we have supermarkets for. It's only cannibalism if you eat meat from things that are of your own race." [Fan Girl] said shaking her head from side to side, "So you can always eat meat, just ask a grown up to cook it for you first or buy it cooked."

 

...Wait a second...

 

"Alexa no," "I mean, [Fan Girl] makes a good point, we can't be cannibals...ever, since there aren't more things of our species."

 

"Alexa will never be a cannibal!" Alexa said falling to the floor, tear on her eyes (Not really)...

 

"Yeah, the horror." [Fan Girl] said from the side, "Anyway, let's go kiddo. If you really want to go to classes we don't have time to lose."

 

And grabbing Alexa from the scruff of her blazer and pulling her towards the [Death Trap] (Elevator). Alexa was too stunned to react and escape to the stairs. Before she could even notice they were already clanking down towards the floor level.

 

"So, how is school treating you? Making new friends?" [Fan Girl] asked as she let Alexa run towards one of the handrails on the [Death Trap](Elevator).

 

"Y-y--yes." Alexa answered making sure all her hands were grabbing as tightly as possible, focusing all her powerful hand muscles (...not that many muscles there). "I-I-I h-h-h-hav-v-v-ve two f-f-f-r-r-r-rens."

 

Alexa answered without any stutter whatsoever.

 

"Good, invite them over one of these day-" [Fan Girl] was saying when she stared to the side and sighed aloud, "Actually, give me like...a week, we need to see if Billy can get us a safe house in another district, if you got friends in that fancy school chances are they will not come here. Vulcanus district is known to house too many minions and villians, if not we can rent an apartment or something. Villainy does pay well; that could serve us well as a safe house for the team."

 

Wouldn't that be counterproductive?

 

*DING*

 

"FREEEEEDOOOM, HOW HAVE I MISSED YOU STEADY GROUND!" Alexa CALMLY said as she CALMLY walked out of the [DEATH TRAP](Elevator) and totally did not kiss the floor getting weird stares from the people around.

 

Totally.

 

"No one has died on this thing before Alexa, don't be a drama queen." [Fan Girl] said picking Alexa from the scruff of her blazer (Again) and hanging her from her shoulder. "See? The counter for days without the elevator falling is at 45 days, and the days without injury is at 143. You worry too much."

 

"The what now?" Alexa said trying to turn and look at the counters that stood at the side of the [Death Trap](Elevator), Alexa had wondered before what those were for.

 

But had decided to not think too much before, that seemed to be an error, one that she would not make again.

 

Next time she saw a weird number, she would ask. Perhaps in this way she could find...No wait, she didn't need to wait, did she? Couldn't she just...repair that thing? She could!

 

"Main Core!" Alexa said raising her fist to the heavens(ceiling) while being carried out of the building into the streets, "Schedule a remainder! Alexa must bring a couple kilograms of steel to fix the [Death Trap](Elevator)!"

 

"...I have been meaning to ask but what is your deal with the whole," [Fan Girl] said taking a deep breath and turning her voice monotone said "[Speak like this]."

 

"What's the problem? Other people do it too sometimes right?" Alexa asked back, she had seen a couple doing it from time to time.

 

"They do?" [Fan Girl] asked confused, "I mean...Vulcanus may do it, but his whole deal is being a human trapped in a machine or whatever; I didn't like his merch, so I never bought his trading cards."

 

They had trading cards?

 

"They totally do," Alexa nodded her head sagely above [Fan Girl]'s shoulder; she was being transported like a sac of potatoes, and she liked it; it saved energy for her feet, and she could move so much faster now! "Like when people speak about the scrambled guy and the theater guy, you all go serious and say [The Scrambled] and [The Theater guy]."

 

Alexa still didn't understand why they only did that with those words...Or why she did it with only some words actually. What was the deal with that?

 

"[Host has not finished parcing throught the meaning of words and in turn is actively asigning more importance to some determined words.]"

 

So that was why? That was...oddly specific.

 

"Hmm...You mean [The Scrambler] and [The Theater Master]?" [Fan Girl] asked confused, "I...don't think I'm using that much emphasis on those words though?"

 

"You totally did, see. Main Core! Roll up the clip!" Alexa said raising her hand and pointing forward...for some reason, "Hmm...You mean [The Scrambler] and [The Theater Master]?"

 

"...that is creepy, please never do it again." [Fan Girl] said, even while telling the reproduction of her own voice creepy...It was not creepy, why would it be creepy to see Alexa's hand act as a puppet that moved acting as if the voice of [Fan Girl] came from there instead of the small speaker that Alexa asked Main Core to make on her palm. "But I get your point...Why am I speaking like that?"

 

She didn't know?

 

Then was it something on either of those's Core Powers that made everyone else react like that?

 

If it was...then why was Alexa not affected?

 

"Weird, you are weird." Alexa said nodding her head while dismissing the transformation on her hand.

 

"The pot is talking to the kettle," [Fan Girl] said back.

 

"...What pot?" Alexa was confused, there was no pot around, or was...was the pot a [Core User]?

 

Then what type of [Core] did it have? What type of [Core user] was the kettle?

 

Was...was it a [Kettle Core]?
