As the afternoon wore on, Alice and Jeremy gathered their army in secret, hatching a diabolical plan to disrupt the town's pageant later that evening. Disguising as Alice's "glam team", their minions gathered themselves to assist her with her plans. With sinister smiles and whispered instructions, the siblings divided the minions into groups, each tasked with a specific role in their nefarious scheme.
"You women," Alice commanded the female manananggal minions, "blend in with the audience and flirt with the local men of this town. Maybe offer them drinks, a dance at the disco floor, or let them watch the pageant, anything to distract them."
"Well hey, handsome boys," Jeremy called the male minions out, "look for women who can be attracted to your good looks. Do whatever you want, even show your toned bodies just to make them swoon over you! Yeah, even if you might get disgusted by some of them, lure them away from the action brought to us by my dear sister, Alice."
Alice continued, "By the question and answer portion, this is where I declare chaos to this town. We shall then unleash our true selves, and wreak havoc to this insolent town of San Roque! We shall reclaim our dominance in this land! My father's legacy shall live again!" She laughed in a sinister manner, happy that she could finally gain ground to capture Miguel and Tabby.
Alice, disguised as a contestant in the pageant, practiced her beauty queen wave and perfected her pageant walk, her eyes glinting with mischief as she plotted her next move. Jeremy, disguised as a pageant judge, watched her with a smug expression, his mind already calculating the chaos they would unleash upon the unsuspecting townsfolk.
As evening approached, the town square buzzed with excitement as the pageant got underway. Colorful banners and twinkling lights adorned the stage, casting a magical glow over the proceedings. Miguel and Tabby, caught up in the festive atmosphere, found themselves drawn to the spectacle, their curiosity piqued by the promise of entertainment, but still suspicious and the motives of Alice.
"Why is she even here?" Miguel asked Tabby, "And why does she seem so friendly to the townsfolk? Is she appeasing her father's wrongdoing to the town from past generations?"
"I don't know, babe," Tabby replied, "All I know is that her father lived here, and what she really wants is to reclaim his legacy."
Meanwhile, the manananggal minions begun to blend in with the audience.
The female minions, disguised as scantily-clad city women, went into the crowd of men in one corner of the audience. The men were a bit bored by the pace of the pageant and instead gathered together for some pulutan.
"Dudes, we need to leave this boring, predictable pageant," said one of the men, "and maybe have some beer to drink. It's on me!"
Then they fixed their eyes on the women, wearing revealing clothes.
"Wow, dudes, who are these sexy women?", said another man.
"Look at them, they are the curviest women I ever seen!", exclaimed another.
"Hey boys," said one female minion, "seems to me you wanna leave silently from the pageant. Why not I offer you more drinks that you plan to do?"
"Sure, my lady," replied the man commenting on the curviest women, "allow me to take you to the beerhouse."
Immediately, they left the venue and into the nearby beerhouse.
Meanwhile, the male minions disguised themselves as Alice and Jeremy's bodyguards, but were eager to seduce the young women and gays in the crowd when they can. They wore tight-fitting white shirts and denim pants.
With them was Darryl Sioson, on guard to protect Alice and Jeremy from any surprise attack.
As the pageant began, Alice stepped onto the stage, her smile dazzling and her poise impeccable. The crowd erupted into applause as she waved gracefully, her every move calculated to captivate the audience.
As the competition progressed, Alice dazzled the judges and the audience with her beauty and charm. Her confidence never wavered as she gracefully navigated the swimsuit and evening gown rounds, earning admiring glances and approving nods from the judges.
Finally, it was time for the question and answer portion - the moment Alice had been waiting for. With a triumphant smile, she took her place at the center of the stage, her eyes glinting with anticipation as she prepared to unleash chaos upon the unsuspecting town.
The emcee cleared his throat and addressed Alice, "Miss Alice del Fierro, your question is: What do you believe is the key to achieving world peace?"
Alice's smile widened, her eyes gleaming with mischief as she poised herself to deliver her sinister answer. "Thank you for that question," she began, her voice smooth as silk, "but I believe that peace can only be achieved through strength and power. In a world plagued by chaos and uncertainty, it is only by asserting dominance and control that we can hope to bring about true peace and order."
Gasps of shock and disbelief rippled through the crowd as Alice's words hung in the air, her declaration of war and chaos sending shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
She then shouted on the microphone, "Without further ado, PREPARE FOR WORLD DOMINATION!"
Before anyone could react, Alice's transformation began, her body contorting and twisting as she unleashed her true form upon the unsuspecting town.
At her command, Jeremy and their minions sprang into action, descending upon the town with ferocious speed and deadly intent. The once peaceful square erupted into chaos as the terrified townsfolk fled in terror, their screams mingling with the roar of the manananggal army.
"Welcome to the bloodfest, I mean, kill fest, I mean... whatever," Jeremy declared, "PREPARE TO DIE!"
Miguel and Tabby watched in horror as the scene unfolded before their eyes, their hearts pounding with fear and desperation. With a sinking feeling in the pits of their stomachs, they realized that their worst nightmares had come true - Alice and Jeremy had unleashed hell upon their beloved town, and there was no telling what devastation they would wreak in their wake.
As chaos descended upon San Roque, Miguel and Tabby found themselves torn between the instinct to flee and the desire to fight back. With their families in danger and their town under siege, they knew that they had to act fast if they had any hope of stopping Alice and Jeremy's reign of terror.
With grim determination, they made a silent vow to each other - no matter what it took, they would stand together and fight for the ones they loved, even if it meant risking their own lives in the process. As they braced themselves for the battle ahead, they knew that the fate of San Roque hung in the balance, and only time would tell if they would emerge victorious against the forces of darkness that threatened to consume them all.
