Alex 10

Chapter 18

Title: Sleepaway Camp

It was a cool rainy night as the trio drove down the road, with Max activating traction tires so they don't spin out. On the other hand...

"Oh bullshit, change it.", Alex said crossing his arms slightly irritated. Why you may ask? Easy, Alice herself was actually planning on their birthday... which isn't even nearly close to soon, but regardless she planned it.

"What? No!" Alice sat up slightly annoyed. "I've already picked out the cake, color coordinated the balloons and made the invitations." She said as Alex threw in a piece of chocolate in his mouth and took off his left shoe.

"Who the fuck decides to plan their birthday six months in advance?", Alex said as he set his glasses down and aggressively rubbed his foot.

"The one who gets to celebrate it on her actual birthday this year?", Alice said as Alex propped his foot in the table.

Alex rolled his eyes annoyed. "Yeah, sure. Besides me and Grandpa were gonna go to Paint Ball for mine."

"Whaaaat?" Alice frowned a bit. "You can't miss my party Grandpa.", she said looking at Max who was annoyed.

"Now you two have shared the same birthday for the past thirteen years." Max said in a slightly aggravated tone. "So if you don't stop arguing, neither of you will make it to fourteen.", he said as he picked up a powder and tossed it to Alex. "Try this Alex. Gets rids of all kinds of fungus."

Alex caught the powder and read that it was just Athletes Foot. "This works," he said as he started to shake it into his shoe. Alice rolled her eyes as she turned her attention back to her activity.

Suddenly, a random boy, maybe around ten or eleven, who is a chubby boy wearing a green shirt. He has bulging cheeks. Walked out on the road. "They're coming! Help me!"

Due to the dark road and their earlier quarrel, Max was distracted and tried to slow down, which happened thanks to the traction tires and turned off to avoid him, fortunately, the boy was able to avoid getting hit, though he falls down the nearby cliff, with only a branch to grab a hold onto. "I got this!", Alex said activating the Omnitrix and turning into Parasyte before running towards him.

The boy started to lose grip, before eventually falling and screaming again as soon as he saw a black blob launch from the cliff and fall towards him. The black blob landed onto him before covering him in a large black ball. He bounced down before landing in front of river, reforming to be a monstrous fat humanoid. "Ew, what the fuck does this kid even eat?" Parasyte asked as he walked back to the RV.

"There were a few scrapes and bruises, but I might've healed some of them with Parasyte.", Alex said scratching his chin. Once he had gotten to the RV, the Omnitrix immediately forced Alex off and reverted him to normal so he could plop em down.

"That's good, but out cold.", Max said checking the kids pulse, it was erratic but was starting to slow down. He must've been panicked.

"His name is Gilbert.", Alice said glancing to the name tag on his shirt. "And considering the little stitched on badge on his shoulder, he must go to Camp Opinicon."

"Oh that's just gross," Alex said referring to the large purple marking on Gilbert's arm. "Maybe it's from some kind of fungus."

"I saw the sign for the camp a bit ways back. They might have a nurse.", Max said as he got back into the driver seat and went off.

After a few minutes, they arrive at the camp. Max drives through the bit of forest at the entrance and right to the clearing, where there was the mess hall and the cabins with a large tower in the center.
