Y/N: Alter Ego, please go rest for now.

Alter Ego: Huh-

Y/N: I don't want you to pass out in this state, go back to your department and tell the others what happened, surely they'll understand.

She weakly nodded and walked out of the room, dragging her feet across the floor like a zombie. Once fully gone from my sight, I turned around and let out a sigh of relief.

Y/N's mind: Time to finish this day quickly.

I ran to my department and then saw employees still adjusting to the sudden alarm. I took a peek at the screens on the walls, checking if there was anything worth checking but my investigation was stopped short when a work order was given to me.

Y/N: Now of all time...

I dragged myself to the location that I was supposed to go to and unlocked the door before entering. I took out my notepad and observed the abnormality.

Y/N: That's a weird robot.

I left that comment float in the air and then started writing down my observations calmly, not bothered by it. I took some glances sometimes but except that, nothing major happened until I was about to step outside of the containment unit.

???: Hello, I am your friendly helper robot, how can I help you?

Y/N: Huh?

I turned around and watched the robot staring at me, not moving at all. I looked around and then pointed my face with my finger.

Y/N: You're talking to me?

???: Yes.

Y/N: ...Nothing for now, maybe your name?

???: I am Helper robot, manufactured by company X for your every needs.

Y/N: Everything? Well, I don't need anything right now so I'll pass.

I left the room and the door closed behind me, making me question about what happened for a moment. Deciding that it wasn't that important, I returned to my room and then sat down, waiting for my next assignment.

*Beep*

...And there it is, already telling me to move my ass from my seat. I jumped back on my feet and walked to my assigned room and recognized Queen of Hatred's room. I entered and saw her waving at me with a wide smile.

Y/N: ...Hi.

Not interested for a conversation right now, I simply started writing down some informations while ignoring her. She noticed that and took the notepad away from me, forcing my eyes to move to her.

Y/N: Is there a problem?

QoH: A problem? A problem?!

She repeated her words with a more threatening voice before turning the pile of information in her hand into ashes. She then grabbed the end of my collar and glared at me.

QoH: You almost died, I saved you and you don't even say "thank you", that's the least that you can do!

Y/N: S-Sorry, I didn't know!

I tried to calm her down and she removed her hand from my suit, sighing before touching her forehead with her gloves.

QoH: I'm slowly starting to feel a headache with everything happening here.

Y/N: Thank you for saving me, sorry but I was passed out from Red's bullets-

QoH: I know that and she needs to pay for that!

She said that with venom in her voice, clearly pissed at her for attacking me. I waved my hands in from of my face, trying to make her calm down but she was ignoring me.

QoH: Not only hurting you but also trying to cause chaos in this facility, typical vilain, she must be destroyed at all cost-

Y/N: You can't do that, we can't even destroy abnormalities anyway!

QoH: It's because they rely on their tricks, playing dead so that you would just bring them back to their room but I won't fall for her tricks, we must purge her!

Y/N: Wait-

QoH: She can't hurt you if she isn't alive anymore-

Y/N: QUEEN!

I yelled back at her and saw her whole body freezing in place, her legs shaking a little along with a pair of surprised eyes, she wasn't expecting me to talk back to her.

Y/N: You're not allowed to leave this room, if you leave it then we'll be forced to drag you back here, do you understand?

I said that with authority, not bending to her will. Her eyes widened and her hands tightened into fists, her legs still trembling but now from anger.

QoH: You mean... You want me to just stay here when the one who tried to kill you is still here?!

Y/N: This is protocol, even if you don't like it you don't have a choice in the matter.

Her lower eyelid for her right eye started having spasms, going up and down quickly at an irregular rate. Her teeth gritted together and she grabbed her weapon with both of her hands, almost ready to break.

QoH: You... You... You...

She took a step closer, putting me on my guards, bringing my weapons in my hands.

Y/N: Don't force me to use violence to keep you here.

QoH: You prefer defending her instead of helping justice?!

Her voice sounded extremely modified, almost unrecognizable. I frowned in response, not saying anything while I was holding my grounds. She probably noticed that since her spasms continued to spread on her body, her head, arms and legs were now doing the same.

QoH: Y/N, let me go.

Y/N: Can't do that, it's me or the suppression team if you leave.

Her pupils shrank when my words landed against her mind. She looked at me and then the end of her lips started to curve upwards slightly, becoming higher until she was fully smiling. Once that stage completed, she started to laugh loudly, an insane laugh.

Y/N: ...

She then placed one of her hands on top of her head, holding it while laughing. She used her other hand holding the staff and shook her weapon slightly in the head. I was suddenly sent flying across the room, landing hardly on the wall before staying on it.

Y/N: Shit!

I reached for my radio and then ordered a suppression team for Queen of Hatred. She hit the lower part of her magic stick against the ground and spears impaled my communication device. My breath vanished and I gritted my teeth in fear since the tip of the summoned lances were too close for comfort.

QoH: I can do this this, I can fix this situation!

She started levitating, grabbed my neck and I felt like she was trying to strangle me. She smiled at me with her insane eyes before tossing her magic staff behind herself.

QoH: If you don't believe then...

The weapon stopped in the air and pointed at the both of us, charging back in our direction afterwards. The result was immediate and it impaled the both of us, both ending with the same fate as my radio.

QoH: I'll show you, let me do everything.

A light started forming the both of us and it became stronger and stronger until I couldn't see anything, forcing my eyes to close.

...

Intercom: Warning! Employee Y/N not found, considered out of control!

...

Meanwhile...

Red: ...

The mercenary leaned against the wall suddenly raised her only eye intact and stared at the only exit, feeling something in her body telling her that something bad was going to happen. Then a thought crossed her mind and she felt anger surging in her body before going back on her feet.

Red: Y/N...

She took a massive sprint and kicked the door out of it's frame, not a single effort wasted for that badass.

Red: Fucking whore.

She charged in the direction that her guts were telling her to go to, ready to turn the one who caused her this feeling into a punching bag.

...

...

Alter Ego's P.O.V.

Daniel: Shit, Queen of Hatred escaped!

I looekd at the other employees preparing themselves for the suppression and I tried to join them, only to be stopped by Daniel with worried eyes.

Daniel: You stay here and relax.

Alter Ego: I want to help, I can do this!

Daniel: I don't doubt that Alter Ego... do this for Y/N, he wouldn't want you to lose control of her legs because of your current state.

At the mention of Y/N's name, my eyes widened and I felt my energy vanishing, I didn't want to become a burden to him, not him of all people. I silently nodded and he gave me a smile before running out of the room with the others.

Alter Ego's mind: Please be safe Y/N, I don't want to see you die again.

A shadow then slowly loomed over her back and I turned around, now observing a blue and pink dragon looking at me.

Alter Ego: Queen of Hatred!

I jumped on my feet and almost fell back on the floor, still tired for some reason. I grabbed my weapon and looked at my opponent but something cause my grasp on my sword to falter...

..Around the neck of the abnormality, a collar that wasn't there before was now around the abnormality's neck and at the end of it... at the end of it...

...A plushie ressembling Y/N was hanging, soulless eyes looking back at me with a painfu expression on it's face. My arms started to shake at that sight and I called out in fear and desperation.

Alter Ego: Y/N!!!
