Chapter 24: I've had enough(Arc 3)
Alex POV
Izaya, Ryuga, and I ran down the left tunnel in search of Altair.
"Where are we gonna find her?", I asked.
" It can't be that much farther", Izaya said. Finally we reached a large room, and in the center was Altair, simply standing there with her eyes closed.
"I've been expecting you", she said. I took my half form and prepared myself. Ryuga glared at her.
" We'll get you this time", he stated. Izaya took out his knives. Altair sighed.
"Why must you fight, if you just surrender already we can get this all over with", she stated.
" Sorry, but surrendering to you is not an option", Izaya stated. Altair glared at him
"I suppose we have to do this the hard way then", she stated.
A bunch of swords rose and circled around her head above her.
" Looks like I'm just in time huh"
I knew that voice. I turned around to see Envy standing there with a wicked grin. Altair looked at him.
"Did she take the job?" , she asked.
"It took a bit of persuasion but she accepted", Envy explained. I looked at him confused.
" What are you talking about?", I asked,"What's going on?" Envy glared at her.
"None of your business. Besides, it won't matter once you're dead", he stated. Altair shook her head.
" Envy, you know our orders. We cannot kill the twins we need them", she stated.
"What?! Last time Monokuma said I could kill them", Envy snapped.
" That's because Monokuma is an idiot. These orders come directly from Father", Altair stated.
My eyes widened. Father, from FMA brotherhood? At the mention of his name Envy calmed himself.
"Fine, we still gotta beat them right. Should use it?", he asked. Altair smiled wickedly.
" Yes. Do it" she ordered. Red sparks emerged from Envy as he transformed into a large beast.
(This is what he transformed into)
I stared at him in awe and shock, remembering this from the anime. I looked at Izaya and Ryuga, who's faces were still in shock.
"Guys, what now?", I asked. Ryuga snapped out of it.
"Izaya and I will take care of Altair, you take on Envy", he stated. I nodded as the 2 of them engaged. I looked at Envy.
"Envy, I don't wanna fight you", I stated.
"Too bad, cause I really wanna fight you", he said. He swung his giant tail at me but I jumped and grabbed ahold of it.
"What?, get off!", Envy shouted. I was swung off the tail and into the air. I then charged down with my claws and slashed his back . Then I jumped over to his leg and slashed it there.
"You little bitch", he snapped. He kicked me away hard and I was sent flying across the room. I looked over to Ryuga and Izaya.
Ryuga had summoned L-Drago and it was trying to blast Altair with its firebreath but she kept dodging. She sent about 4 swords at L-Drago. 2 of them hit his side and the others he just melted with his fire breath.
Izaya threw his knives one by one into her leg. Altair winced in pain and glared at him. Ryuga looked at Izaya.
"Go!! Quickly!!", he urged. Izaya nodded and ran. He jumped off from the wall and onto L-Drago. When Altair would launch the swords L-Drago would melt them or Izaya would block them back. All while Ryuga shot fireballs at Altair.
I quickly focused when one of Envy's large claws almost hit me. I jumped back on his body and kept slashing.
"Help" I stopped and looked over. I forgot of the multiple souls lingering on Envy's body. A mini head looked at me sadly.
"Please miss, help us. Take away our pain", it begged. I stared at it in horror.
"Please miss, This is all so painful", another head begged. I cringed.
"I'm sorry, I wish I could help all off you", I said sincerely. I knew though that once a soul belonged to Envy, it stayed there.
Then another head came out of the mouth of another head. My eyes widened and it smiled wickedly.
"Ha!! You are as pathetic as the others. Why don't you just die already", it mocked. I felt myself tremble and I backed up a bit.
"What the hell?", I said weakly.
"What'ts the matter girly, scared?", Envy cackled. He then shook me off and glared down at me.
"Ready to give up yet?", he asked. I sat up and shook my head.
"Never!! I'm not a quitter. You can't make me", I stated. Envy groaned.
"You are really getting on my nerves", he stated. I wondered of something.
"Envy listen, are you working out of your own free will?", I asked. Envy stared down at me confused.
"What the hell do you mean by that?", he asked.
"Well, do you really wanna do evil forever, or are you just working with these guys because of your Father?", I asked. Envy's eyes widened with anger.
"That is none of your business. What I do with my life doesn't concern you", he snapped.
I flinched.
"Sorry, I was just curious is all", I said.
"Well you know curiosity killed the damn cat", he stated. I frowned. Remembering what happened in the anime, its most likely Father doesn't care about Envy and is just using him.
"Envy, are you sure you can really trust these people?", I asked. Envy growled.
"Kid, you better shut the hell up", he warned. I stood up.
"Envy, you don't know these people's true intentions do you? For all you knew they could betray you and leave you for dead", I pointed. I looked at Altair, she was silent, probably hearing our conversation.
Envy looked like he was gonna blow a fuse.
"Are you saying even my own Father would betray me. Impossible", he stated.
"But En-" I was cut off by Envy letting out a loud angry roar.
"That's it!! I've had enough of you little pest, Now I'm gonna kill you", he yelled. Altair glared at him.
"Envy don't kill her, we stil-"
"SHUT IT YOU HAG!!", he snapped at her. Then Envy pounced his entire body at me. I barely managed to dodge by jumping on his big head.
Then Envy threw me in the air and I came falling down. As I fell I saw Envy open his mouth, and I was directly above it. My eyes widened.
"No no no no no", I said as I fell straight in. I struggled as the big mouth closed itself shut. The souls on his tongue tried to drag me down. I kept trying but was having no luck in escape. Then an idea hit my head.
"Sorry Envy, I hate to do this", I said. Then I used my fire powers and started to burn his tongue. Envy screamed as he opened his mouth. I took my chance and got out while I could. I look over at Altair, who seemed badly beat up.
Izaya and Ryuga help me up.
"We gotta go, now", Izaya urged. We bolted out of the room to go find the others.
Author POV
Envy glared at our heroes as they left. He transformed back to his human form.
"That bitch, she burned my tongue. She's gonna get it", he snarled. He was about to go after them but something grabbed his hair.
He looked over at the angry Altair.
"Idiot. I told you specifically NOT to kill the girl and yet you attempted to do so. We shall have to tell your Father about this disobedience", she stated. Envy's eyes widened.
He stared down at the floor. That meant when he got back, it was punishment time.
"Dammit", he muttered to himself.
