Toxic had polished off some bottles and was starting on some dark peach schnapps when Aldus Panchetta sat down. Neon sat next to Toxic with an awestruck look on her face. Aldus asked, "Some occasion for all the liquor?" Toxic chirped up, "Nope! Neon said she needed to be all liquored up before she talked to you, so I got curious. Some liquor tastes really nasty, but some tastes pretty good. It ALL tastes like sugar to me! Neon said if I drank to much, I'll get drunk as a skink! Skinks drink?" Aldus sighed. "SKUNK. Not 'skink', because people stink when they sweat out the alcohol. I don't think it's possible for you to get drunk. Now what it is this all about? I am busy." Neon exclaimed, "YOU ARE ALWAYS BUSY! Dammit! Get off your high and mighty pedestal long enough to talk with your own daughter! You saw the Madjulla kill everyone in the old lab. Tee died in my arms. NOW she can change into a BIG DRAGON? With some concentration, I can change my skin color to a more normal hue, but that is IT! Toxic can't even do that. She can set things on fire and create blades capable of cutting through anything. WHY?" Aldus took a sip on his dark schnapps and looked out the window at the Nautilus and sighed, "It must be the 'black box' genes from Typhon, I used in each of your's construction. Toxic, you do realize that you are in a cloned body belonging a clone designated as 'T'?" Toxic frowned and nodded,"You didn't give the 'clones' NAMES? Neon is my sister! As much as I want to punch her recently, she still is of my flesh and blood. Daddy, I don't think I like you for treating people like THINGS!You don't have any good sense!" He looked injured by Toxic's words. "I did ALL of this for YOU! YOU are my daughter, not Neon or any of the others, they were just clones. I was trying to cure the BLIGHT! Billions died from it. I had to DO something! Time was desperate, I was running out of time." Toxic shook her head. "No. You were running away because it hurt so much. You had to kill mommy because she got infecticated and went all crazy and tried to kill me. You ran away in your heart and had to do something to atone for her death. Didn't you?" Neon looked shocked, as well as Aldus. She said, "Oh. My. GOD! How did you figure that out? I'm a telepath, but I never figured that out!" Toxic looked over at Neon and shook her head, "You took my man,too. Neon, you don't have any good sense either! I asked Jin why daddy might act that way. She explained when someone close to you dies, grief makes you go crazy sometimes, Since daddy killed mommy, it would be worse. That isn't why I asked you here, daddy. WHY did Madjulla change into a dragon?" Aldus looked embarrassed and said, "The M-series clones had the highest margin of alien DNA from Typhon. Almost 48%. Neon had the least with only 12% and 3% of the Leviathan. T had almost 30% of Typhon's DNA, and 20% of the Leviathan's." Toxic and Neon looked shocked. Toxic said, "No wonder Bubbles thinks I'm one of her own brood, and the River Prince seems like a little brother!" Aldus asked,"Bubbles? WHO is BUBBLES?" Toxic started giggling. "The Leviathan. I was swimming one day in the river when she came up and farted under water! BUBBLES!" She laughed loudly. Neon frowned and sighed, and then broke out laughing. "Bubbles. Heh!" Aldus frowned and looked serious. "It was SO hard to get my and Chalchilaloq's genes to match up. She was a human alien from deep space. There is something I need to tell you, Taoxic..." She held up a hand, "TOXIC. The other was my name before I became ME. Go on." "...TOXIC, fine. You had a brother. His name was Odonn. He got infected when you and the Measure did. I injected him with the genes of Typhon and the leviathan directly. He seemed fine for a while before he went mad and ran off. I tried so HARD to save you both! I'm sorry." Toxic gasped, "I HAVE A BROTHER?" --TO BE CONTINUED!--
