Not my pic.

Noctis pov

"But not today." The Giver said as the four men just gave a surprise look

"What? I did my daily work today and I want shower! I have super sensitive skin!" The Giver said

"Are...you being serious right now?" I asked as I felt my eyes twitches in annoyance

"Of course, I'm being serious, prince boy! We can play next time. I just needed to kill all mafia today then play my king's knight game tonight!!"

The four men couldn't believe what they were hearing from the Giver but didn't withdraw their weapons. As the Giver continued to complain, he walked past us and stopped near the door.

"Hey prince boy, let's get to know each other-uh-oh!" The Giver shouted as I charged at him, I swung my sword at him however he jumped into the air and landed on my sword. As landed on  my blade, his feet kicked face and I fell back with force. 

"Noctis!" My friends went to my side as the Giver landed on the ground, he yawned and whined,

"Really? You are going to attack an unarmed man? Didn't Cor teach you anything about sportsmanship?"

The Marshal? How does he know Cor?

"That's interesting; how do you know the Marshal, Giver?" Ignis asked sternly while being curious

"He's a Marshal now? Wow, he takes his job seriously. To answer your question, He and I go way back as number #1 frienemies!" The Giver said

"Frienemies? Don't you mean enemies?" Prompto bluntly asked

"Hell no, friend! I mean frienemies! Duh, get with the program, kids." 

"You are really starting to annoy me!" I retorted at him and he just smiled

"Aw, you're annoying me as well. See you later, prince boy!" 

With that, the Giver left us alone in the mansion. As I got up, we went to Alice who was still lying on the ground.

Back to (y/n)'s pov

That basterd knows how to work up Noctis....

I felt someone's hands on my shoulders as the person shook me, my eyes opened slowly to see it was the four men and asked dumbfounded,

"How you guys get here??"

"What do you mean how we got here? We ran to get you back." Noctis said as he sounded a bit anger but helped me up and Ignis asked,

"Are you hurt at all, Miss Alice?"

"Only my neck, four-eyes. Someone really hit me hard." I replied as I pretended to rub my neck in pain, we left the Mafia mansion and headed home. It was strange to feel lighter when we got back to the Citadel and I was welcomed back with open arms except for the Marshal. That Immortal seems to hold a nasty grudge against me but I hold one against him too. Ignis explained that a man named the Giver knocked me out and seems interested in me. I shrugged not caring about what he wants but it did interested me of what was the Giver's true identity. The Giver gives me an feeling of a old memory that nagged on my mind since I meet him. The memory plays out a woman riding a motorcycle down a highway with another motorcyclist who turns out to be the Giver but their expressions...were grave as if...they weren't going to be alive for much longer. As the memory continues with both individuals shooting at the citizens and they fought back to press the Giver back. The mysterious woman is a bothersome image that is blurred out from my data banks in the brain. She has been a repeat in my data recently when I entered Insomnia. When I'm awake, she is there for a second in front of me saying 'Why' then she appears in my sleep cycle with more words to say. Noctis and his friends decided to talk about what happened in the Mafia mansion tomorrow to let me recover. As Ignis, Prompto and Gladiolus left the room, Noctis lingered a bit more and asked me,

"Alice, I was worried about you heading into the Mafia. Why did you go?"

"I thought we're going to talk about this tomorrow, vegetable hater." I replied as he sat on the bed next to me, his hands became intertwined with mine and I felt the same feeling again. Feeling something...is different. His hands were...what is the word...soft or comfortable? Either way, something my mind is relaxing and he said,

"You're right. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Please rest, Alice."

With that said, he kissed my hand and left my guest room. I closed my eyes to go to my Grid world however when I arrived, the mysterious woman is already in my world.

How the hell did she get here?

My feet slowly approached the woman but as she turned around to face me, her face was...ugly. Her face is covered in this black liquid form that seems to be dripping from her eyes and mouth. Her eyes are what made me strangely back off. The eyes were indeed red but somehow I felt the woman was...on fire or...holding something dangerous inside her. She charged at me with her fist about to hit me but I dodged her and punched her face. As she fell back, she got up and said,

"ÁSTRÍÐR..."

"So, you do talk. Who are you? You keep bothering me." I replied

"ÁSTRÍÐR...ÁSTRÍÐR..." She continued to chat my name as her feet walked her forward to me, I took out my samurai sword and she yelled,

"ÁSTRÍÐR!! Don't ignore me!!!!" 

I didn't know what she meant but she is ready to kill me as much as I'm going to kill her. We began our fight with simple tactics of hitting each other but the mysterious woman began to use magic? How is that possible unless...she is a Kinglavies...Not cool. Somehow, my body is began to wore down and I know why. My Grid world is being taken over by this woman who kept chanting my true name in anger. How is she taking over my Grid world?!

This is not good; shit...

I immediately contact Medusa through my comm inside my brainwave as I continued to stand my ground with my mysterious opponent. For a good ten hours, we fought and my patience wearing thin. As she charged at me again, she was stopped by Medusa who appeared suddenly and fired a gun at my opponent. The woman began to scream in pain and disappeared. I fell to the ground in exhaustion as I felt hands on my shoulders, my head tilted up to see Ardyn with a silly grin and asked,

"How are you holding up my dear daughter?"

"..."

"You are cold, just like Medusa." He said as I flipped him off, I got up slowly and my eyes traveled to Medusa who reloaded her gun.

"Number #1, we need to talk about your Grid world." Medusa said as I felt that her visit wasn't going to be pleasant at all.

third pov 

Little did Alice know that Nyx came in a while ago and watched Alice struggle on her bed. Alice is sweating heavily with her movements that were thrashing in her sleep. Nyx didn't do anything to wake her but continued to watch her in question.
