Early in the morning Albert wakes up at his base.
"Hmm…"
He wakes up on a bed—nest of wealth with Mélusine sleeping right next to him. She used him as a body pillow with her tail wrapped around his.
"Time to get up." He said pushing her off him.
It took a while, but he managed to get her off him. Her tail always wraps so tightly around his. He gets up and does his morning routine. He brushes his teeth, takes a quick shower and gets dressed.
'I wonder what Nezu wants to talk about?'
He gets dressed in some normal clothes in his more human appearance. Honestly by now he liked his true appearance more now. It did disturb him that he feels like his human appearance felt more like a second layer of skin…
Mélusine woke up a while when he started to make breakfast.
"Ooh! Smells nice!" She said with messy hair.
"I am making our favorite. Today is going to be a big day!" She turned to her smiling ear to ear.
"Hell yeah! Today we start a war between the villains and the yakuza!" She said with a big bright smile. "Just a step further from our goal!"
They then shouted at the same time as a way to pump themselves up for the day. It was Mélusine's idea as a way to get into her mindset for her role.
The morning went off great, nothing happening in particular. As they ate their breakfast, Albert get a call and then mechations of the world begin to be set in motion.
"Yo." He answered.
"Albert." Said Herod.
"Handler. What is it?"
"Come by the house. There is something R&D wants you to test."
"Alright. Anything else?"
"Nope. Have a great day. Click."
Albert stared at the phone for a bit. He was confused by what just happened.
"Weird. He never tells me to have a good day."
"Maybe today is your lucky day!" Mélusine said with a mouthful of food.
"Hmm…" Seeing her happy face full of food he cooked made him smile. "Maybe!"
Elsewhere in Musutafu, Herod grins as he puts away his phone.
"I almost feel bad… almost." He turned to see a small army of Seraphs. "Aright kids, you have your job."
Most of them jumped into the sewers while the remaining stayed.
"Operation Enoch is a go."
Herod turned and walked out of the alley to look at U.A. Highschool. He smiles as the rest of the Seraphs all follow behind and infiltrate the school.
"You never should have looked into this, you damn rat."
About an hour later, Albert arrived back at his home in Musutafu. It has been a while since he seen the home. It brought him some nostalgia.
He enters his home to see it the way he left it. In the living room on the coffee table was a pure white box.
"What do you think it is?" Mélusine asked in her spiritual body.
"Don't know." Albert responded as he goes to check.
He walks over and taps the box. It then glows before opening to shoot out a screen.
"… I have a bad feeling about this Albert." Mélusine said as she begins to look around.
The screen changed to Herod sitting in some room. Albert never seen… no, he remembers it. It was featureless so he must have taken this message in America.
"Adam." He said coldly. "I am disappointed."
Albert's lips frowned with a deep-seated anger.
"Fuck you to." Albert replied.
"I'm disappointed because you asked for help from that rat and that emaciated jolly bastard."
Albert's body jolted as did Mélusine. Danger immediately surrounded Albert thickly.
"Fuck."
"So if you can make it to them at school, I'll think about letting that frog girl of yours be handed over to our guys in the lab."
"YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!" Albert growled, his fists were firmly clenched to make diamonds out of coal.
Herod grinned as he spoke his next words:
"Quare iratus es, et cur concidit facies tua? Ubi est Abel frater tuus?" It was spoken it Latin. It reads as: Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? Where is Abel your brother?
These were the words God said to Cain before he punished him. Immediately Albert fell to his knees as his body exploded with never before felt pain.
"GAK!?"
Blood violently left his mouth as well as his orifices.
"Albert!!" Mélusine shouted as she was about to return to physical form.
Then the box exploded.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The earth shook and the homes in the area also shook with those close to the Albert's home had their windows shatter and even foundation shaken.
In the ruins of the now blown home did several Seraphs arrive. They snuck out from hiding, from under the earth beneath the grass, from the darkness of alleyways, from the sewers, from every nook and cranny they came out and gathered at the destroyed home like carrion birds.
They didn't care of the danger as they walks around the ruins of the home. As they scoured the remains they all stop. They all look at one another and then they jumped just as another explosion came.
POOOW!!
From the rubble shot out a hand that grabbed one of the Seraphs. The hand squeezed their legs so tightly they couldn't escape. Soon enough the hand swung them into the ground shattering their whole body.
From the rubble Albert shook off the debris and with a stomp he smashed the corpse into ground meat.
Albert was still bleeding with his clothes pretty much turned into rags. One thing did survive the explosion, the charm Asui gave to him. He held it firmly to protect it using his reinforcement.
"Ugh…" he grabbed his head. "Damn… Dan… Oh-gly?"
He knew what is happening to him. He could feel it. Nanomachines were eating away at him but that is not all. It would be one thing to be eaten from the inside, but it was another when you could feel the machines breaking your DNA.
[Ding! DNA has mutated!]
[Ding! DNA has mutated!]
[Ding! DNA has mutated!]
[Ding! DNA has mutated!]
His was working to try and repair it but he never had to fix something like this, and the altered DNA was causing several problems in a chain reaction. His thoughts were quickly getting muddled. He is only alive and functioning due to his regeneration. Only one thing screamed in his mind:
"Go to school!!"
"Albert!" Mélusine shouted at him. "I'll—"
"Nos." He said coldly with anger lacing his voice. "Stray ridden. For nowi. Grow eight U.S.A Highrule. Biboot lack."
His words were all slurred and messed up. The nanomachines in his head were making hard for him to even communicate. But she understood him. She was gonna return to her physical form to help but couldn't due to the explosion and now… she must leave.
"I'll wait for you at U.A.!" Mélusine replied as she quickly left.
Soon more of the Seraphs came with daggers. They all jumped at him with the intent to kill.
Albert gritted his teeth and just ran towards U.A. Highschool. He swung his arms and knocked them aside, bulldozing his way through.
He ran and leapt as high as he could, but his body was deteriorating on the genetic level. As he leapt five Seraphs jumped after him and two of them stabbed the back of his left shin and on the right side of his lower back.
Albert was—he couldn't spare the thoughts of how they managed to cut his skin. He just had to keep moving.
He ran as fast as he could to U.A. and it took him about 10 minutes to get there as he took the train… Albert went for the train, but it was brutal.
The Seraphs kept attacking him relentlessly.
Shiink!
Thud!
Stab!
Pow!
He didn't even have time to breath let alone talk to Mélusine. They got him down onto the street level where civilians saw a young man bleeding from every hole he has being attacked by people in pure black.
They couldn't scream before a knife slit open their neck from the Seraphs. They killed everyone around Albert as he made his way to the train station. Some even broke off to cause chaos elsewhere in order to hide what they were doing.
By the time he did reach the train station there was a literal trail of blood and bodies leading up to it. In all of this not one hero arrived. Albert didn't know why, and he couldn't spare the thoughts when his mind was constantly being eaten and regenerating.
The train arrived on time but as soon as they saw Albert in such a bloody state with several knives embedded into him they finally screamed out before a knife cut their heads off.
Thud-Thud-Thud-Thud-Thud~
The Seraphs broke into the train and were waiting for him.
"Di cil uo." He said in broken English.
Albert stepped into the train filled with headless corpses and kept fighting with a bloody fury as the doors close behind.
