Welcome to Beacon: Ultimate Server

"OH SWEET FU-" Charisse yelled out, shielding herself with her arms in a fruitless attempt to block the combined weight of Glen and a semblance influenced Ai.

Her hands grasped and flailed over her opponent's body as she tried to get them off, but to no avail. The lights in the room came back on then.

"Alright people." came De La Vega's voice over the loudspeaker, "Go head back to your dorm. I need to prepare for first period. Ms. Huang won this round, mostly because she's the one on top."

Alexia smiled. "Well, thank you, then, Alfred. I'll trust you." She thought that was rather decent of him. She was right about him! She could feel it.

Alice...was not convinced. She fixed Alfred an apparising stare. Nope, she still didn't like him.

"Nice to know we have something in common." Pius replied, narrowing his gaze at Alfred before returning his attention to Alexia.

"Okay, we've knighted Ieria, been briefed on the Olympos mission, and more or less figured out who's doing what. Now can we please get some breakfast, guys? This stuff will not be important for over a week, at least, and I'd like to focus on the present."

Ai passed out from aggressive Semblance over-use. Her Semblance was still active while unconscious, which meant that she had to be woken up fast not just for the others' sakes but for her own as well.

Alexia giggled. "Pius, you have been influenced by your brothers, thinking with your stomach like that! Alice, do you want to join us?"

Alice smiled and and shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

She looked at Alfred, her face now in a scowl. "I would however like to talk to this boy now."

"Alice..."

"I'm not going to do anything drastic. Promise. Come on, Spider, let's talk."

Ieria sighed and shook her head as she saw the conversation go by.

People were troublesome, and could be sometimes annoying, but they were interesting. She turned to Pius and nodded her head. "I have already finished my food, I did not need to eat much, I am afraid." She said with a neutral expression.

Alfred stared at Alexia curiously, with confusion plastered onto his face, he was still not used to people actually thanking him for things. "Right, whatever, I'm just doing this to secure my job and salary mind you."

As he heard the mention of the word breakfest. Al's stomache growled in a rumble and roar louder than a stampede in the Savannah. He thought of getting cheesesteaks to appease himself made him visibly drool, however right then the other princess requested his presence. Goddamn it I want to eat you bitch. Not that the anger showed on his face, or really any emotion when he addressed Alice.

He nodded to her and then silently walked towards her.

Alice led Alfred out the dorm and to the back of the building. She fixed him with a glare so fierce, Grimm would run for the hills.

"I'll be blunt. I've looked into your background, and I don't trust you. You're a first-grade scoundrel. Unfortunately for me, Lexi chose you. Which means I can't fire you. Only she can do that, I can however, make sure she's safe. Tell me, boy, why should I place my sister's life in your miserable hands?"

Alfred folded his hands behind his back again, taking a proper pose, seemingly completely professional. He used for scary glares, telekinesis no, but glares he was far more than completely immune to them. If he didn't perform here correctly, she might just breathe down his neck forever. He began talking with confidence and with no hesitation in the inflection of his words.

"If you know of my past you should probably know that I'm more than skilled in combat, that I was taught in in strategy and I'm more than experienced with unorthodox situations than most of these people taught in your combat education facilities due to where I lived." He said completely seriously, as if the asshole before was dead and here was another man with his appearance.

He breathed in deeply, breathed out and continued to speak.

"My past doesn't give credit to my personality and how loyal I am, but that's because those situations demanded I'd be void of any loyalties or trust to the people in my vicinity. That I'd betray everyone who I had to in order to survive. It's a trait born of necessity, not choice, I doubt their will be something so endangering to me that I'd rather have the whole royal family on my back than whatever that entity may be." There was no sign in his posture or expression that he was even once lying in those words.

Alice stared at him for a few moments, a sharp look on her face. Then she sighed, her face softening.

She was silent for a few more seconds until she finally spoke. Her voice was calmer, her tone more civil than it had ever been before.

"I believe you."

"Believe it or not, I wasn't a princess most of my life. I wasn't even human. I was a weapon. What I'm saying is...I know what it feels like. Because of that, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. I don't think you're stupid enough to blow a chance like this."

Her glare returned. "But take care of her. She's too naive for this world, and she's going to get into trouble. I trust you'll keep her safe."

"I don't know what she sees in you, but she's set on this. Don't let her down."

She turned her back to him. "One last thing. I think it's appropriate for me to add "Or else.""

Just for effect, she made him float a few inches, then dropped him.

Smirking, she walked back inside.

Al stared at Alice as she attempted to explain why they were similar Alfred didn't show a reaction, keeping the same stoic face, he wasn't here to listen to how someone knows "how it feels like" or any sort of emotional bullcrap from her, he was here so in the coming years he won't have to worry about the royal family breathing down his neck, having to guard aristocratic brats was already bad enough and he blew up that pretty badly.

He remained with a calm outlook as she made him float, believing it was only for show and that she wouldn't actually harm him by now. After she dropped him, He bowed to her as he began speaking:

"I duly note your concerns, I will not rest as long as your sister is ever in peril highness." He said as he went down for a bow.

Al breathed deeply once she was already away. Dropping the posture for 5 brief seconds as he said to himself:

"I have a feeling this job is going to be more complicated than I could possibly predict."

He scratched his head before walking inside again, once in the kitchen he took a huge amount of bread from wherever they're stored, brought a huge piece of meat and began cutting and cooking. Drooling over the thought of eating a pile of cheesesteaks right now.

Pius had moved into the kitchen and begun cooking steaks for everyone on his team, except for Ieria after she told him she was already full.

"How would you like 'em, Alexia? You, Medus?" Once he collected their answers, the Nobel began cooking the steaks to their specifications, while also preparing a couple of medium rare steaks for himself.

Every muscle in Glen's body strained as the young man attempted to lift himself under Ai's semblance enhanced weight. Cursing as he tried to get his second in command off of his back without any success, Glen ended up resorting to his most basic method of getting people to move. Yelling. "AI! WAKE THE FECK UP AND GET YOUR ANCESTORS DAMNED WEIGHT OFF OF MY BACK BEFORE YOU BREAK MY DAMN SPINE!"

Kitchen

Eh…not feeling like steak today.

Reaching into the fridge, Yun grabbed a carton of eggs and 2 packets of sausages. "Namia, Rufus. Does Sausage & Eggs sound good for you guys?" He called out to his leader and partner.

Alexia was frowning, what did Alice say to Alfred? Her sister was being annoyingly tight-lipped.

Said sister had said her farewells and left soon after returning. She had to find out! Argh! And there was no way she was asking Al!

At her partner's question, she was broken from her thoughts. "Well done, Pius. Thank you."

At that moment, though they heard the sounds of an admittedly well played guitar....which unfortunately did not drown out the hilariously off-key singing that accompanied it.

"Oh, Belle~! You're so swell~! Let's go out on a date~! Because Gaston is great~!"

Alexia collapsed in a fit of giggles. "Oh. My. Dust."

"I'm not actually hearing that, am I?" Pius asked with exasperation in his tone when he heard his fellow noble trying to woo the Babineaux girl again. The Nobel just wished Gaston would leave his fellow mechanic alone; Pius honestly thought Belle could make a better man than Gaston for herself to date if she wanted to. Then again, it was just Gaston: an animatronic robot with the ability to say just one compliment not directed at itself could fulfill that standard.

"Hunger is just getting to me right now, and that's why I'm hallucinating terrible singing." He tried to reassure himself. "Right, guys?"

As Ai woke, the huge weight crushing Glen and Charisse became a very light weight, like the baby elephant that was sitting on top of them was replaced with a baby... human. Ai then stood up very abruptly.

"WHAT HAPPENED?"

She looked back at Glen and Charisse in the pile.

"Did I win?" she said.

Glen groaned as he got to his feet, and silently thanked whatever deity was available that he could still walk. "I cannae say who won, but I can say that you passed out on top o' me and Charisse there. While that was an excellent strategy, I'd recommend being a wee bit more careful with your use o' your semblance lest you get knocked out like that again in combat." As he went to retrieve Biorgadh, Glen addressed his team and said "C'mon, the lot of us should get prepared for the rest of the day an' see if anything exciting has happened in our absence."

Yun grimaced as he grabbed two pans and placed them on another stove. "Not unless we're all hallucinating…"

Alexia was laughing so hard she couldn't breathe. "No, Pius. This is actually happening. Poor Miss Belle."

She breathed deeply to control herself. "You must give him some credit, though. Lord Scarlett does not give up."

"And then you'll seeee~! How awesome it is to date meeeee!"

After finishing to cook, Al got a 3 plates, and on each of them piled a towering pillar of cheesesteak sandwiches, and brought them with no harm to the table, he sat down on a chair and began to bite into the bread, the crumbs falling down and his growling stomach beginning to get filled up with the soft meat.

And then disaster struck, and a horrible singing voice ruined his tasteful meal. Al was trembling, shaking with anger at this monstertous voice which was intent on destroying this day before it has even started. After he finished chewing his entire first pile he was finally on breaking point, and the man didn't seem strong enough to threaten him, he held both the two other plates masterfully in one hand, walked to Gaston, and with the other hand tried to twist both of his wrists before silently pacing to his sit and continuing to eat his breakfast peacefully.

Unfortunately for Al, Gaston was that strong. With a bored look, the muscular noble twisted Al's wrist right back, with the Tarantula definitely being the worse for wear.

Acting like nothing happened, Gaston Scarlett continued his quest.

"You belong with meeee! Everyone else should die on a treee!"

As his wrist itself was twisted, Al made a distance between them. even as his hand was hurting he was not flinching, instead he easily took out his boot, touching the ground with his bare foot. He put the plates on the ground before walking as several spikes from the ground went up directly towards Gaston's lower back. Aiming to harm him at a very particular hole located in there.

Right into the asshole's asshole. Gaston yelped and jumped about a foot into the air.

The burly noble then turned to Al, literally growling. "What. The. Hell. You're dead!"

Gaston charged, aiming to punch Al in the face.

Inside, Alexia frowned at the terrible singing stopped. "Wait. What happened?"

Then, with dawning horror, she noticed something. "Where did Alfred go?!"

"You ruined my goddamn breakfast. You shouldn't have done that if you didn't want to draw my ire moron."

He said as he tried to duck the punch and trip him so his face will harshly hit the ground.
