Now at home, Bryan opened the door to see Kyra already there.
"Oh hey." Bryan waved.
Kyra focused on her cooking. "Kelly wants you destroyed. She's planning on using Jenesis to beat you."
"Nicole's helping Jenesis because she feels bad for her." Bryan informed her. "This may be a 3v2."
Kyra laughed. "If Nicole joins, I can easily become 3rd."
"And me fighting Kelly gives me 2nd." He sat down at the dinner table. "It works for both of us."
"Isn't Nicole your friend though?" Kyra asked as she began to serve the food over to the table. "Don't you care?"
"We're taking over the rankings first." He glared at the table. "Everything else can come after."
"Right." She sighed.
"So are you and Melissa dating?" Kyra asked. She was met by a death stare which came from Bryan. "Guess not."
"I'll make sure no one even thinks of fighting me in the future!" He grinned.
Kyra smiled and leaned on his chair from above. "I can only imagine."
"So no dating?" She asked again.
"No dating." He confirmed.
She repeated after him. "No dating."
"That's too bad! I surely thought you'd end up with Nicole or Melissa at least!"
"That's weird." He spun his spoon around. "I don't want to fall in love."
Kyra shrugged. They ate quietly and even went for seconds.
"Forgot to say." Bryan spoke up.
Kyra looked over to him, curious as to what he had to say.
He looked at her. "A Science Competition went down between Nicole and Kelly/Jenesis. The two had a historical purple cube. But when Kelly threw it to Nicole, I caught it and that cube ended up choosing me. It was absorbed into my hand and uh, I can't die now."
"Weird..." Kyra stared at him. "Do you... feel any different?"
"Nope." He chopped off his hand. Kyra turned away in disgust.
"BRYAN, WHAT THE FUCK!"
When she peeked back, it was back on as if nothing ever happened. "What...?"
"It won't let me die." He smirked. "Kelly is so fucked."
"Yeah but now I feel bad for Nicole. I don't want to get her hurt. She's pretty." Kyra took her plate to the sink. "It's kind of sad."
"Hmm..." Bryan stared at his empty plate. 'She ran to me because she was worried the cube would kill me. Perhaps I should... care.'
"Let me talk to her tomorrow before we do any fighting." He took his plate to the sink as well. "We'll fight during lunch time."
The clock read 5:07PM. He gulped. "I was supposed to meet Nicole 7 minutes ago."
"You're fucked buddy." Kyra giggled at his misfortune. "What will you do now?"
"Teleport." He facepalmed. "Be back around 7."
"Okayyyy." She went to her room and closed the door. "Don't go around doing anything weird there."
"Ugh, I won't." He said as he teleported away.
Purple dust spun around where he teleported from. Kyra squinted at it and shut the door.
[ The Lab ]
At the Lab, Nicole watched the the big screen as Laura walked around. "Good."
Bryan teleported behind her. He raised his head at the screen. "How is she still going on in this virtual world?"
Nicole turned to him. "You're late."
"By eight minutes now." He walked towards the computer. "I was busy. What's the objective today?"
"Add a hostile NPC and see how she handles it in a school environment." She said to him.
Bryan raised an eyebrow. "Let's do something like the Top ranking student fighting her with horrible intentions."
"...sure?"
He watched the big screen as he did so.
[ The Virtual World ]
Laura faced Sebastion, the top ranking student in her virtual world. She was surprised to see him appear. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Nah, just bored and need a punching bag." Sebastion said to her while his eyes glowed silver. "Let's do this!"
He punched her and sent a wall barrier to knock her over, which it did.
Laura rubbed her face. "Hey, I left you all alone for a year so why am I still being bullied?"
"Because you're weak." Sebastion glared down at her. "Imagine if you never acted on your own while Bryan was hurt. You ruined everything."
"I KNOW! I'm sorry." She said while lowering her head. "Let me go."
"No." He grabbed her head and pummeled her face into the pavement. "I hate losers like you. Go die."
Blood fell from her nose.
He smiled and slammed her in the ground again. This time, she did not move.
[ The Lab ]
"Woah..." Bryan was irked. "Why's he so aggressive?"
"Because he's supposed to be the final boss." Nicole said while taking notes. "She's still not ready. Spawn her in the infirmary."
"Gotcha." Bryan did so and got rid of Sebastion for the time being. "She'll be down for a good few hours."
"Damn, didn't think it would be that bad if I'm being honest." Nicole admitted. "She needs to beat him so that I can abandon this lab stuff. Once she's good, I release her in some alleyway and uh, I become a pretty girl with free time."
"You're weird." He chuckled.
She raised an eyebrow. "Am I wrong for that?"
"Nope." He faced the doorway. "Okay, I'm good to go. I have to prepare to fight Kelly tomorrow."
"Already?!"
"Yep, Jenesis is gonna help her and it's gonna be great." He smirked. "Okay, gotta go. She might get worried if I'm here for too long."
He teleported, leaving behind purple dust as he left.
He stood in the kitchen of his house. "Hm.."
Turning to the hallway, he walked towards Kyra's room. Knocking on it, he heard noises followed by footsteps to the door. When it opened, she saw him and smiled. "There you are!"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Hmph, you could have just said 'Hey Kyra, how are ya? I missed you!' or something."
Bryan turned away, sighed and faced her again. "Hey Sis, I was with Nicole. I missed you though so I came back early! How is my favorite sister in the whole wide world?"
"Better now that you say that!" She grinned.
Bryan turned to his room. "Eh? My room is open."
"Whoops." She awkwardly smiled. "I had to do laundry, sorry..."
"It's okay." He walked over to his room. "I'm going to bed."
"Okayyyy goodnight!"
Bryan waved. "Goodnight Kyra."
"You get some rest too. We have a long day tomorrow..."
"I will, goodnighttt."
Bryan walked over to his bed and laid under the covers. His blanket became too comfortable and he ended up falling asleep faster than expected.
