Futuristic An Agent of Maniacles

[Freikugel]

What a disgusting BEAST.... Thougth Fizzy as Kotsu seemingly lost control

What if it actually goes crazy?

Luckily I brought that with me...

You know it right? Sentence him to DEATH

Fizzy shoved away the thoughts and what was more than thoughts.

But I may actually have to put him down eventually

 

[GamerCarrot]

Whilst Vivian was slightly more concerned about Quentin she was quickly distracted by the sound of a loud crunch, like something being bitten into that shouldn't be. Turning around she saw Kotsu biting into an arm that probably wasn't the most hygienic. Standing up she slowly and cautiously approached the obviously hungry Kotsu, she moved her hand and placed it on his shoulder. "Uh... Kotsu..." She tried to hide her disgust even though she knew he was probably starving. She reaches for the arm and quickly grabs it, she felt gross even holding it but it was necessary to get him to stop eating the flesh of a mutant. "It's for your own good, you can't just randomly eat corpses... especially these ones." she said with a slight concern in her voice.

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu keeps the arm in his grip while staring at Vivian with his black eyes, the screams in his horns were a cacophony as the only sound between him and Vivian. Eventually Kotsu released his grip, and his eyes were slowly going back to red. Kotsu's horns eventually went back to their normal size and small screams. As wiped his maw, his teeth began shrinking back to normal. "Sorry..." He pulled out a blood pack and sank his teeth into it, draining the blood pack within seconds.

 

[GamerCarrot]

She takes the arm and quickly gets rid of it, wiping her hands on her pants before looking up at Kotsu "Don't apologize, you can't exactly help being hungry." She said with a small smile before letting go of his shoulder. "Maybe see if you can hunt down some blood packs whilst you're here, surely there has to be some? Just try and avoid feasting on corpses okay?" She said before heading back to where she was before helping him with his hunger issue.

 

[Spoiled Bread]

Aria​

"So, how about it, Kotsu? The taste of mixed drugged random raw meat of Joe's nightmare." Aria stomped on the corpse and instantly turned it into paste. She was horrified that Kotsu would even try eating these monster in the first place. She couldn't erase that scene from her head and polaroid photos of Kotsu eating the corpse were literally being printed out of the back of her head, littering the floor around her.

She knew her speech earlier might not really affect him, vampire was always a stubborn and selfish being. You couldn't expect them to change their habit easily. But seeing her friend desperately eating the corpse right in front of her eyes like that, it made her sad and angry, at Kotsu, at herself, at their deep unsatiable vampire's curse...

She felt like she couldn't see him in the eyes without tearing up right now so she just dropped her left arm which she intented to reattach and turned away.

"Nibble on that the next time you can't hold it. At least its organic." Aria turned away and joined Denton at the backline of the group. Her eyes were slightly wet but she forced them to show a blank stare, like the eyes of a dead fish

 

[Kinggunlucky]

Denton regarded Kotsu's indulgent feast the same way a man may contemplate why his shit came out in the shape of an L. Disgust and fascination. He noted everyone's discomfort. Aria was the closest person. Denton patted her on the shoulder.

He guessed certain urges couldn't be helped.

Denton approached Kotsu, a small smile playing at the corner's of his mouth. The tone of Kotsu's apology suggested some level of self-consciousness. Exploitable? Denton managed to get a hold of his emotions during the battle, push back what happened to the young Owl, and emotions had flared. He thought, that perhaps, the violence had helped everyone work through their issues. Eh, likely not. Violence is a great distraction, though.

"What revolting display," Denton said. "You didn't even have any condiments on those mutant corpses. No ketchup, no mustard. Look at these things..." He lifted a decapitated mutant head off the ground and started doing a perfectly accurate Mickey Mouse voice out of the side of his mouth. "Hoho Kotsu, don't feel bad. We all have our slip ups. It can't be helped you're a raging lunatic. You should probably get some good head to calm you down, hoho. The quickest cure for an angry man. I used to be angry mouse until my Minnie, hoho."

Denton tossed the head over Kotsu's head like it was a basketball. It landed in a large sink with a nice thud sound.

 

[mmarage]

The twins... paused as they heard the sound. They slowly turned and... much to their horror, Kotsu was eating one of the mutant's arms. They had heard what he had done with other vampires... but... they had never expected to see something like that. They didn't say anything, only stared.

However... when Denton began speaking like Mickey Mouse, indignation flared in the two. They could see how mortified Kotsu was. When he had finally finished his tirade, the two walked up to him. "...Don't insult our friends." They said in unison. Once again, the twins slapped him, one after the other, smacking off a set of comedy and tragedy masks. "...You really are a terrible leader, Denton." 01 said, clearly annoyed as he and 02 turned away.

The two began to make their way to the exit of the room. "Let's hurry up and move already. The sooner we find what we're looking for, the better." They said in unison, clearly not wanting to be in this room any further.

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu felt bile building up in his stomach from the way Aria and Vivian had reacted. He clutched his stomach again, and audible noise of regurgitation rising from Kotsu's throat. He held his hand over his face as he threw up into his own mouth. Blood spilled from his hand as he swallowed the vomit and blood. It tasted even worse the second time around.

As the head sailed over Kotsu's own, he glared at Denton. "You're not off the hook for defending what happened to a child. Despite the monster I am now." He said, slowly getting back to his feet. He walked over to Aria's arm and tossed it at her. Kotsu was hurt that she would say what she did, and it showed on his face. "I've been hungry. I just haven't..." Head down, Kotsu stared at the floor. Hearing the twins slap Denton and get angry because of his own actions, made Kotsu feel at fault. He looked at the group. "I'm gonna take a walk." Kotsu headed out of the room, in search of more blood packs.

 

[Exzalia]

"Ewww Kotsu, manners." Yellow Owl teases.

Blue owl focuses on the task ahead. "Lets get moving."

***

Female fetal
​

Yellow Owl remakes Joes 69 and Joes 3 a body restoring them to their prime and more importantly allowing them to walk.

"Thanks Owl." 69 says happily, "You da man. err girl."

They descend deeper into the lab passing a green house filled with half animal half plant monstrosities, they stay well clear of the things passing through the green house taking a left down a hall way.

A voice sounds on the intercom. "Attention, paging Joe 99 and Joe 100, you have missed your scheduled appointment with the doctor. But don't frett, the doctor has graciously rescheduled you for this evening at 7:00 pm, that's in ten minutes. If you come during that time we will even throw in a nice lolipop. Thank you for choosing Mianiacles medical ward for all your health care needs."

They keep going following the Joes through the maze of horrors that was this lab, at one point passing a vat stuffed with nonviable fetuses slowly decaying to nothing.

A voice sounds on the intercom. "Attention, paging Joe 99 and Joe 100, you have missed your scheduled appointment with the doctor. But don't frett, the doctor has graciously rescheduled you for this evening at 7:20 pm, that's in ten minutes. If you come during that time we will even throw in a nice lolipop, and a toothbrush. Thank you for choosing Mianiacles medical ward for all your health care needs."

"She's not going to stop is she?" yellow Owl says.

"Ignore it." Blue owl replies. "We almost there Joe?"

"which joe you talking to?" They ask in unison.

"joe-" Bue owl notices Joe 69 point to him self and nods excitedly, she stares at him a moment then rolls her eyes. "69."

"Nice. And we're close just down this hall way."

Bickle falls in step behind Khepri "So...any plans when you reach the surface."

"Kill owls and Dentons enemies." She says gleefully.

"Oh, well yes I guess we all are going to do that...anything else?" Bickle asks.

Khepri thinks a moment. "Murder my enemies?"

"But after we do all the murdering what do you want to do with your life?"

Khepri taps her chin. "Torture my enemies?"

Bickle could see he had a lot of work ahead of him, but he persists. "How about catching a movie with me?"

Blue owl face palms. "Holy shit Bickle you sure know how to pick em."

"It's been like, what a few hours?" Yellow Owl says incredulously. "You know she's crazy right? "

Bickle ignores them. "What do ya say?"

Khepri thinks a moment. "I've never been to a movie, what weapons should I bring, what are we killing in there?"

"Just time baby." Bickle says trying to sound smooth.

"I do not know who this Time is, or why his name is so odd, but I would love to murder him with you. So I accept."

Bickle fist pumps. "Yes! scored!"

A voice sounds on the intercom. "Attention, paging Joe 99 and Joe 100, you have missed your scheduled appointment with the doctor. But don't frett, the doctor has graciously rescheduled you for this evening at 7:30 pm, that's in ten minutes. If you come during that time we will even throw in a nice lolipop, and a toothbrush, and a brand new Honda accord! But you have to come quickly before our offer expires. Thank you for choosing Mianiacles medical ward for all your health care needs. Rules and restrictions may apply, see Honda. com for details "

"We're here." Joe 3 says coming upon a sealed door.

"I know the code." Khepri says hopping up to the door she begins typing it in.

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu stares at Yellow Owl, her teasing him as he did so raised his spirits in a strange way. Staring at Blue Owl, occasionally and the twins whenever the intercom went off, and finally; his eyes rested on Aria. He decided to make his way over to her. "Aria...? Are you still mad at me?" Kotsu said, rubbing his arm nervously. He wanted to waste no time and decided to explain his motives to her. "I was hungry. After throwing up on Denton's shoes and not eating for a while, it caught up to me." Kotsu said, looking at the ground, still rubbing his arm. "I'd like you to teach me about blood tofu and the like. Maybe that could... Satisfy these cravings...?" Kotsu said, half mumbling as he was growing disheartened from asking for her help. "I've... Never been around other vampires really. I've only been by myself. I could use a mentor in some regards. How old are you again?"

[Kinggunlucky]

The agent was rubbing his cheek. He'd been punched, thrown up on, slapped several times, screamed at. It was beginning to become tiresome. They called him a terrible leader. A fair point. The overall goal here, with these people, hadn't been to make friends. Well, except Fizzy. The others were expendable in the long run.

He frowned. Eh, expendable is harsh. Denton would much prefer for everyone to come out of here and further missions without scratch, but it was only unrealistic thinking. Reality is uncompromising in that regard. This was part of the business. His cheek stung and he felt something like resentment claw at him.

"We're nearing the end of this circus," Denton said to the Twins. He was smiling.

Denton wanted to push a button, press boundaries. The anger directed at him could be taken out on whatever lay ahead. Not to mention...restablishing some form of dominance was important. A show of power. Not force, though.

"Any final requests? Joe 01? Joe 02?" He asked. "You two won't have long left. Your hair lines are already thinning. I've considered pushing for HQ to back a senior care facility." Denton walked closer to both twins. "It is a rather sad set of circumstances. The sights you won't see, the moments you'll miss with your newly found friends. So sad. So meaningless"

He ruffled both their hairs in a manner that could only be described as aggresive.

"Ah well, no time to dwell on it," Denton said. "Aria, if anyone slaps me break their arm. That's an order."

 

[mmarage]

The two looked at Denton, stared right into the empty eye sockets of his mask... before they cracked smiles... and began to laugh at his words. Their laughter echoed through the blood soaked halls... almost as if it were several Joes all laughing at Denton. The laughter went on for a good minute... before they composed themselves. "...Was... that supposed to hurt us, Denton?" 01 asked, a practically serene smile on his face as he looked Denton. For... a minute it almost seemed as if he was looking right through him... right through his mask. "That... was pathetic." He said, giving his head a little shake.

"...We might not live long. We might not get much more time with everyone... but... we still had time with them. Yeah, it's unfair, it sucks... but that's... that's why it's good. If we're going to miss something, it means that we actually cared for it in the first place. That means that we lived, Denton. Can you even say the same thing?" 02 asked, the same kind of smile on his face.

"You hide behind your schemes, your lies, your excuses... you try to hide behind that mask... but we know what's behind it, Denton. There's nothing but a coward, and a monster. You try and keep scheming to keep yourself ahead of everyone else, but that also means that you have to run from everyone. You know that if they ever saw what was behind that mask, it would disgust them to no end." 01 said, his voice remaining perfectly calm and composed as he said those words.

"At the end of it all, can you say that you truly lived, Denton? Who is going to miss you when you're gone? Who is going to accept the true you at the end of the day? When you're all alone in your death bed, no one is going to care. At least... at least with us, we found people that saw what we really are and accepted us anyway. They'll notice when we've passed, they'll mourn for us, and we'll live on through their memories." 02 said, starting up just as 01 ended.

"...In the end, Denton... when you finally meet your end, unlike us, you'll keep going. You'll have to answer for every last terrible thing that you have done. There won't be anywhere that you can run, or hide. You'll have to look at your sins. You won't be able to look away." 01 said, the two glanced at one another, before looking back at Denton. "You're pathetic, Denton." The two said in unison.

When the doors finally opened, the two strode ahead of the rest of the group, standing just a bit taller as they did.

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu had a bit of a smile on his face as the twins said that. He couldn't disagree with anything the twins had said to Denton. He stared at Blue Owl for a hint of a reaction as well while he followed through the door.

 

[Exzalia]

Blue pats Joes 1 on the back. "Ignore him Joes, life is too short to be upset by everything Denton says, why you die of a heart attack if you did."

A hiss of steam sounds, the door was finally opening.

The room was small, yet the computer at the end of it was comically large with many screens filming every area of the lab. It was clean in here, not an ounce of bio matter to be found anywhere and dusted to perfection.

"Alright Joe, do you stuff." Blue Owl motions towards the computer. "We'll watch your back."

As Joe begins to type the announcer sounds again.

"Attention, paging Joe 99 and Joe 100, you have missed your scheduled appointment with the doctor. That's five missed appointments. But don;t fret, we under stand you are very busy, and so the doctor has graciously decided to do a home visits just for you! He will be arriving at 7:40, that in five minutes so don't move! Thank you for choosing Mianiacles medical ward for all your health care needs."

"Oh no, the doctor is coming." Joe 69 says wide eyed. "that's not good."

"We can take him." Blue owl says determined.

"No you really can't." Joe 3 says. "He's powerful, and he controls all."

 

[Spoiled Bread]

Aria​

"Don't worry, Kotsu. I know how it feels to get addicted to something. Master helped me overcome my addiction. I'm sure he can help you too." Aria replied with a flat voice tone, her head started printing those photos again as she remembered the sight. Despite her words, she was still bewildered by that scene. For her, knowing Kotsu confess that he commited canibalism and seeing it right in front of her eyes was a big difference.

She then shifted her attention to Denton's order, acknowledging it. "Order accepted." The next time someone would physically attack Denton, she would jump to restrain them. Breaking one or two bones would be no problem since this was the dreamland.

 

[mmarage]

"Huh? We weren't upset. It... was actually really funny how he tried to get under our skin." 01 explained, before heading inside.

The two began to navigate the computer... but... they didn't know the first thing to do. "Ummm... Sam... or... anyone who has more computer expertise... would you mind helping us out with this? We're... not exactly great with technology... especially with something like this." 02 said as he looked perplexed at the monitors.

The two then looked at 03. "...Nonsense. If he tries anything, we'll cut him to pieces." 02 said confidently.

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu stared at the photos Aria printed from the back of her head. "Aria, I get it was gross, but it's not like I hid it. I told you what I've been doing." Kotsu pursed his lips. "If I lied, I could see the cold shoulder, but I was forthcoming with you." Making a face like smelling sewer water, Kotsu realized something. "Is Alucard the 'Master' you keep talking about?" Kotsu used air quotes when he said the word master. "Can we have a strict no Alucards allowed rule in our vampire community?" Kotsu said with a smile forming on his lips.

Kotsu stared at the Joes. "I won't let anybody hurt them either..." Kotsu cracked his knuckles and his neck as he muttered this.

 

[Exzalia]

Blue owl walks up to the computer. "hmmm....says...I, I think I know what to do here. Yes it's coming back to me, I'm good with computers."

She takes over typeing and clicking away, manifesting her hacking gear into the dream world.

*Thump, thump thump.* The sounds of heavy foot steps echo dimly down the dark blood encrusted hall ways, followed by the sound of a wheeling cart. Steadily they grow louder as Owl works.

"You wanted to delete these right Joe?" Owl asks bring up the files on the monitor, or did you want to save them?

*Thump, thump thump.*

"Hey am I the only one that hears that?" Bickles says standing close to the door way.

"It's the doctor, he's coming." Joe 3 ducks behind a garbage can. "Don't tell him I'm here."

*Thump, thump thump.*

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu summoned his whips and stood ready, facing the door a safe distance away, he prepared a few healing vials into his belt and some bombs. "I'm ready for you, you son of a bitch! You won't hurt my friends!"

 

[mmarage]

The two look at her. "Delete it, all of it, every last backup, everything that they've sent to every last server, we want all data that has ever been put on this computer, or even sent from or received to it to be completely destroyed." 01 said as he pulled his scythe out, 02 pulling out his bow and nocking an arrow, ready to fight. "We'll cover you while you work." They said in unison.

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu called back to Owl. "Find out the location! That'll help us in the long run! All of the locations!" Kotsu summoned his fire whips. "I wanna burn him to a crisp! Nobody hurts my friends brothers!" He stared at Khepri. "Or sisters!"

 

[Kinggunlucky]

"Don't delete it," Denton said, stepping up beside Blue Owl. "We should save what we can. This is an older lab I'm sure there was stuff lost in the move. We might find valuable information on here Owl. It would be stupid to wipe it."

The thumps were far away to Denton. He knew the Doctor was coming. His heavy steps were loud, consuming, bringing dread the closer they got. The majority of the agent's mind was back with the Joes. They managed to flip the switch on him.

It frustrated him.

It cut him.

Anger bubbled from within, how fast the Twins had shut him down. Denton pushed it away, tried to, wanting to stay focused on the task, on the danger.

 

[mmarage]

The twins looked at Owl. "...You've seen what the information on that computer has wrought. This is our request, Owl. Please... delete it and leave no trace of its existence... please. Even if they have everything in the real world... knowing that it's gone in some way... it would be a manner of relief for us." 02 said.

"This was made from our minds, our memories. We get to say what happens to it." 01 said. "Everything... everything in this twisted world should return to zero, including that data. Please, Owl." 01 implored as he kept his eyes on the door.

 

[Exzalia]

Denton ignored The Twins. He guessed that the science branch likely saved the majority of the data on here, but one can never be to sure. He couldn't let it go. Not without a fight. A part of him stirred. The wicked part, the part the twins had beaten back.

Preserving the system would provide a minor victory for HQ, for him, and likely for Owl and others, but also critical one when it came to the general sway of things. A way to piss off the twins. To make sure they didn't get their way completely. Denton kept his expression calm. "Owl, listen to me. I know we can get on the same boat here. You have your motives, I have mine. This stuff is to valuable to let go. I don't even know what's on here."

Blue Owl pauses she is about to press the delete button she stares at Denton.

"Denton I've already down loaded the data onto my own personal drive, we can safely delete this." She says to him telepathically and that would be the end of it. Save that yellow owl could also hear.

"Hey that's dishonest!" She says pointing at blue owl.

"Shut up." Blue Owl growls.

*Thump, thump thump.*

"You were going to keep the data on your laptop and delete what was on the computer, thus tricking Joe. I can't believe I grew up to be so dishonest!" Yellow owl shouts angrily.

"As much as I dislike Denton, he right in this case. The information here is too vital to destroy, the secrets too good to throw away. I must keep some."

"But Joe is our friend! Surely his feelings are more important!" Yellow owl flies up to her other self face arms crossed.

"His feelings would have been fine if you hadn't blabbed." Blue owl growls at her younger self.

"That's lying!"

"Yes yellow Owl, people lie but sometimes there is good reason for it!" Blue Owl snaps back.

*Thumped, thumped thum-.*

"Shut the door!" Joe 3 yells pressing the button on the wall shutting the sealed door just as a massive hulking figure had turned the corner, they only glimpse the doctor.

The glimpse was enough...

He was horror incarnate.

"I'm deleting it!" Yellow owl says.

"No you are not." Blue owl says glaring, mental magic flares up between them.

Bickle runs between the two shouting in a panic. "Guys, we really can't have our two most powerful mental mages fighting each other with that thing outside the door!"

The owls ignore him. "I'm more powerful than you." yellow owl says glowing with eather.

"Is that a fact?!" Blue owl snaps her ire against her younger self growing.

 

[KotaKotsu]

Kotsu sighed. "I guess I gotta side with you two then, dammit." Kotsu sighed, he used his whips to carry his body to make himself more nimble. "At least I get to help you guys kill one of your inner demons." Kotsu said smiling.
