Alec just barely resisted letting out a smirk as he watched Dominique and Lukas clash.
It was indeed Main Character characteristics that they didn't get along with each other.
He felt a little helpless but didn't see anything he could do to stop it. Nor did he really want to in the first place. Both of them were a little high-strung, but that could be forgiven seeing as they were in the middle of an apocalypse.
At least Lukas had realized that there was no danger since Sircela was under their command, even if the two Main Characters did seem to be trying to take each other's heads off with a depth of vengeance that he didn't think they should have with each other.
How strange.
Alec poked the flying whale, who grudgingly summoned the jeep from down below, bringing them on top of its back.
The clash between Lukas and Dominique seemed very fierce, but all Alec could see was Dominique playing around with Lukas, and Lukas seemed to have realized it as well, seeing as the glare directed at Dominique was bordering on the line of deadly.
They were shouting things at each other, but Alec wasn't able to hear them.
"They sure are going at it hard," Liam said, squinting at the battle that was occurring below them.
Karen snorted. "You can say that again. Also, you, mister," Karen growled, poking Alec's cheek. He bore it with deep suffering. "Couldn't you have given us a heads up that you were the ones controlling this whale? I really thought we were going to die, you know!"
Alec just smiled, and Karen made a disgusted smile at the back of her throat even as Liam made a sound of agreement.
"Ooh," Karen grumbled, making grabby hands towards Alec. Liam just strong-armed her into staying still, which she bore with good humour and a pout.
Below, Dominique was having a good time beating on Lukas, whom he didn't like at all. Who did this bastard think he was? How was he worthy of Alec's attention and care at all!?
Lukas was growling as he parried the heavy strike from Alec's subordinate, yet as hard as they were hitting each other, there wasn't any killing intent behind the strikes, something that both egged him on as well as relieved him a bit that he didn't have to seriously kill Alec's subordinate.
Bloodlust, yes, but killing intent? Not quite.
Lukas was frustrated. Just what did this Dominique want from him? Why was he acting like some possessive girlfriend towards his boss?!
"Just what do you want," Lukas gritted out to Dominique, a strike from the other clipping his side.
The pain radiated throughout him, but his compartmentalized the pain. He felt like if he didn't, just a stray strike from Dominique would send him to the underworld despite him not taking this very seriously.

Dominique just glowered harder. "Stay away from boss."
Lukas felt the frustration within him explode outwards in pure exasperation. "Your boss is the one coming to find us!"
Dominique let out a guttural growl at his words, his strikes just becoming harder. They were even harder to dodge now, and it took everything Lukas had to keep up.
Lukas was being pushed so hard that he could barely see straight. This was even beyond the level of intensity in which he had fought back before he regressed, and he could barely even spare the thought that it was impossible for him to have died had Dominique existed in his previous life.
Lukas was only at the second stage, but Dominique's moves were on a whole different level altogether.
Lukas was so pressed that more and more strikes were going through despite Dominique not changing the pressure he put on him.
Dominique felt a grudging respect for Lukas, who didn't shrink away from meeting his hits head on.
Compared to the level of Incantix, this world was far below their standards. For now, at least.
Right now, even the outer disciples in their sect could have beaten Lukas, but this man's determination outstripped them by far.
It just made him scowl at the thought.
Lukas managed to slip under Dominique's guard when he was distracted for the slightest moment, not missing the opening that he'd been given.
Dominique reflexively struck out with a bit more strength, accidentally knocking him out cold.
Dominique made a frustrated sound. He still had a lot more grievances to work out on Lukas, but he'd ended his own revenge himself.
He grudgingly grabbed Lukas' body and hauled him back up to the whale, where Lukas' twin fussed over him.
"Hmph."
His boss looked at him, as if asking if he had fun, and Dominique felt his bad mood abate slightly.
Even if Lukas had unintentionally intruded upon their time together, as long as he knew not to get too close to boss, then it was fine.
Sircela continued flying at a quicker pace, heading back to H base.
Not too far from H base, Sircela let them down, flying back up into the distance so that they wouldn't attract any trouble.
There would definitely be people who knew that they'd been on the whale, but if they weren't able to find the whale after that, then they had plausible deniability.
More than that, Alec just couldn't be bothered interacting with people like George Bailey who clearly just wanted to use them for things that only benefitted themselves.
They didn't have much time if they still wanted to take care of the mutation source quickly and without trouble.

It took a few days for the rest of them to return to H base, but they were all gathered in a room that was a bit of a squeeze as they exchanged their findings.
Yuki and Rosabel had been looking throughout H base for various things, but there hadn't been much talk on the streets.
Instead, they'd hung out in the military districts – more specifically, the bar – where the soldiers had looser lips, and were more than willing to exchange information with pretty faces.
Word on the street was that the boss of H base had been acting strange as of late.
Almost like he was possessed. The man didn't seem to be sleeping well. The soldiers talked about it and wrote it off as depression, but Yuki and Rosabel wondered if it was anything but.
Vivian and Hayden, who had been looking out for information on the meteorite, didn't have much to report there either.
Compared to what had been heard about the meteorite from J City, the meteorite they found there was just a shell of the original.
They still brought it back discreetly to check it, but that had been a dead end. In the other months, they went around to various weather institutes to see if they could find the source of the meteorite.
What had been acquired from those institutes had been proof that the meteorite had rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere, yet when it broke through, the meteorite did not shrink in size at all, instead maintaining its original size and shape the entire time.
Alec and Dominique presented their findings as well.
Showing them the red meteorite, the party looked at the deceptively innocent piece of rock that was seated in the container.
Most notably, Natalie was itching to experiment on it, but a hard look from Lukas contained her curiosity as she remembered the last time she'd allowed her curiosity to get the better of her.
Last but not least, Lukas placed the heavy metal container that they'd procured from a lab in J City, where the meteorite had struck the city, all but obliterating it.
Clicking the latches open, the metal container opened, and what was inside caused all of them to widen their eyes.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
