"Stay back from her!" Amy called out to the clones that had surrounded a red-headed female with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.
"What?! I would like to talk to your manager about this! I am a guest in your forest, and you are treating me like some common criminal!" Karen, Bite System user, screamed and then launched herself at the clones as Amy ran over.
Grass shot up to stop her, but Karen used her hands, which were now mouths full of razor-sharp teeth, to rip through. The grass did slow her down enough for the clones to pull back and out of range as Amy ran over.
She wore a pink dress, tactical boots, and black gloves; all Items she had created and placed on her Mega-Me before entering the body.
"Everyone spread out and make sure that there are no other AI wandering," Amy called and then looked down at the redhead. Are you sure that you don't just want to leave and come back another time? Our manager is away at the moment, but I don't think you would like to meet him."
"I will be the judge of that child! Now, if you aren't going to show me the way, then you need to get out of my way!" Karen screamed and launched herself at Amy's thirty-foot-tall body.
Amy slapped the woman away, and Karen flew into a tree, but the woman flipped, panting briefly on the tree. Before Mr. Tree could grab her, Karen jumped off the tree like a springboard, flying directly at Amy, who raised her arm to protect herself.
Karen latched on to the arm and instantly tore into it, chewing through the elbow of her arm before Amy could react. Amy slapped the woman off of her, but her arm wasn't growing back, and the stub was black and festering.
"You know. I could have bitten one of your legs off and been done with you, but I think I will take my time with you! I have a coupon to take off all your limbs, and then I will tear your face half off!" The woman screamed as she launched herself at Amy.
This time, an electrical current came up from the shoes Amy wore that Chelsea had charged and into the single black glove she had. Amy put all the shock she had stored into the slap, and Karen hit her hand like a fly hitting an electric fly swatter.
The Villainous woman was slapped into a tree, but this time Mr. Tree grew branches around Karen's still twitching body and crushed her until she crystallized. Amy let out a windy sigh from her giant body and then summoned Sofia.
"This section is good, but I lost an arm that won't grow back, and I have used all my charge. I am going to head back to my body now," Amy explained to Sofia, who appeared before her on a screen that only she could see.
"That's good. Make sure that you are ready to make new clothing as the girls get back. We are going to need the best you can make. This fight is turning out far better than we had anticipated, but we also have help from two of the other AI Generals. There are three Generals coming, but possibly six. Some of the girls don't have Systems or fighting abilities for something like this. We are going to be pretty evenly matched in numbers, but I think that they are going to be much stronger," Sofia explained.
"Yes, I will be ready to suit the girls up before they leave. How are the others doing?" Amy asked as she walked over to one of the Great Trees and merged into it.
"Good, only two of them are fighting right now. All the rest of the AI has been dealt with. We were able to capture some of the AI alive, but eighty percent of them are dead. Not that I thought that we would save more, but it still is sad," Sofia said.
"Yes, but most of the ones that I had to fight were insane. I don't know if they were like that before or if the AI that had been in their minds made them that way?" Amy asked after she returned to her body
"Hard to say, but I think they were probably like that before. That is probably the reason that the Villain AI targeted them," Sofia explained.
Amy sat up in the room where five of the ten girls were supposed to be sleeping, but there were girls missing. Victoria and Firaga were not in their places.
"Where are the other two girls?" Amy asked.
"Firaga is placing a System in Victoria," Sofia said.
"Did she talk to Daniel about it first? I know that she has been sour about him not giving her a System, but I think that she should talk to him about it first," Amy said.
"Neither of us really knows her that well, so I don't think that we are going to stop her. She seems pretty strong-willed," Sofia said with a sigh.
"That doesn't matter! Where are they? I will go talk to her!" Amy declared, but Sofia gave her a look.
"What are you going to do? Not to be rude, but you are not really the type to be able to dominate over a personality like hers. Victoria seems to prefer to hide her feelings and lash out rather than express what is bothering her. She might just snap on you," Sofia warned.
"Maybe, but she is important to Daniel. I think that it would be best for them to talk about it. Even if we need the extra help, we shouldn't do things without talking to him first. There might be a reason that he didn't give her a System yet," Amy said, and Sofia sighed again.
"They are above. Get in the elevator, and I will send you to them," Sofia groaned.
This was a waste of time, in her opinion, but Sofia wasn't going to argue with her. They still had an hour before all the AI Generals gathered to meet, but Daniel was two hours away.
Just because Amy was already heading up to talk to Victoria, Sofia decided to try to call Daniel.
----
"Daniel? Are you there?" Sofia's voice called over the intercom as I was fighting five copies of myself.
All the copies stopped and then broke apart to absorb back into my body. I put a finger to my ear and replied.
"Yup, I am here? What's wrong?" I asked, feeling a slight pang of worry grabbing at me.
"I don't know if this is a problem or not, but Amy seems to think it is," Sofia explained.
"Oh? What's up?" I asked as some of the worries left me.
"Victoria found a System that she likes and is asking Firaga to put it into her. Amy seems-"
"No, stop her! Do not let Victoria have a System!" I shouted, panic filling me.
That was the last thing that we needed right now. The woman was too irrational, and she will have no experience using the System.
"What?! Really?!" Sofia exclaimed.
"Yes, she is already pissed off at me as it is, but I am not going to have her go and fight experienced AI that is much stronger than her! Victoria is a hot head, and if she gets a random System, Mr. Tree or you all might not be able to stop her!" I explained. "Get her on the line right now."
"Sure! Right away, Papi! Sorry that I didn't think about that!" Sofia exclaimed and pulled both Firaga and Victoria up in my view.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
"Stop whatever you are doing right now, Firaga. Do not put that System into her," I ordered, and Firaga stepped back from Victoria in shock.
"What?! You have got to be kidding me! You give the other girls a system, ignore me, and then come and tell me what I can and can't do now!" Victoria groaned.
"Firaga, please leave the room. The two of us need to talk," I instructed in a very serious voice, and Firaga nodded to me.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to step over the line with this. I should have asked you first before doing something like this," Firaga said as she turned to leave the room.
"Nothing to be sorry about, but I do things for a reason. I will talk to you after I get back about it. For now, I need to talk with Vic," I explained, and Firaga nodded, leaving the room.
"So, what is the reason that you think that I should be treated differently than the other girls?!" Victoria demanded.
"This bullshit right here is the number one reason. Why don't you think that I would want you to have a System right now? You have an attitude problem, and you lash out when you get mad. What happens if I give you dangerous powers? You think that I would do something that stupid?" I asked, stunning Victoria.
"You think that I will hurt someone?" Victoria asked with less fire in her voice.
"Can you safely say that you can control your anger? Because I have yet to see a situation where you haven't lost your cool during it. Victoria, this is not a joke, but let's switch gears. So you get this power; what are you going to do with it?" I asked, and Victoria's heat returned.
"I would go fight like the other girls!" Victoria declared, and I slapped my hand to my face.
"And this is why you are not getting a System. You are acting like a child right now, and you are going to wait in this damn tree until I get back. Do you want power? Show me that you are not some spoiled brat that thinks that she is owed it," I growled, sent an order to Mr. Tree, and cut off the line in frustration.
