(Drake and Andrew)
In front of Drake and Andrew, there was a too-familiar looking being simply floating w/ their back turned to the couple. He looked a lot like former Drake, much to the couple's confusion. At the same time, though, this person wore a pink shirt and some jeans, and there appeared to be spiderwebs in his head, which caused even further confusion. He also looked strangely... melty? Finally, he had four tentacles sprouted from his back. Drake and Chompy gave weird looks at this person.
"Hey, buddy!" Andrew shouted, "What's w/ the illusion this time?"
The monster cocked his head. He then slowly turned. When his face became visible, Drake, Chompy, and Alter gasped while Andrew gave a strange look.
"My God, so there are more..." Andrew muttered, mystified.
The monster had a head that looked kind of like how Drake's used to, w/ some noticeable differences. His fur appeared to be melty, his lips were connected, and a spider hung from his head fluff. Strangest of all, though, was the monster's eyes. They had spirals in them, and were red and grey, making the monster looked pretty crazy. When he saw the duo (Drake in particular), he giggled.
"HELLO, BROTHER," The monster said.
Drake was taken aback by that line. As for Andrew, he raised the part of his face that should've had an eyebrow.
"Le what now?" Andrew asked.
The monster giggled again.
"FIGURES YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I MEAN, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT YOU UNTIL A WHILE BACK."
Drake simply had a weird expression on his face.
"What weird, copy man talking about?" Chompy asked.
The monster gave Chompy a weird look.
"DAFUQ?" The monster asked before shaking his head, "NEVER MIND."
He then sized up Drake, which made the latter feel pretty weird.
"HM. TELL ME, WHAT MADE HIM KEEP YOU OVER ME?"
"What are you talking about?" Andrew asked.
Drake, confused at first, gasped as he realized what this being was talking about.
"No... he couldn't have...!" Drake muttered.
"What?" Both Andrew and Chompy asked.
The being giggled again.
"YOU DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE HIS ONLY CHILD, DID YOU?"
Andrew, still confused, eventually got a look of realization as he pieced things together. Alter did the same.
"No...," Andrew said softly.
Whoa... Alter said.
The monster giggled again.
"WHERE ARE MY FUCKING MANNERS, THOUGH? NAME'S GESTER, HALF PARTS GEOFF NEUTRAL, HALF PARTS CHESTER EROBOS NIGHTSHADE |:}."
Andrew and Chompy's expressions were that of shock and confusion respectively. For Drake and Alter, each had a shadow over their eyes.
"Wait, what?" Chompy asked.
"I'm sorry, HOW THE HELL ARE YOU HALF NEUTRAL, HALF NIGHTSHADE?!" Andrew shouted.
Gester giggled yet again.
"OH, OF COURSE, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I'M A FUSION BETWEEN A HUMAN AND A MONSTER."
Drake still had a shadow over his eyes. As for Andrew, he was stunned. He had thought that human monster fusions were a myth! (Drake didn't count. He was a hybrid, and he was born that way).
"Wait, you said Geoff Neutral?" Andrew asked, "Isn't that Gwen and Gasper's cousin?"
Gester's eyes lit up in surprise.
"YOU KNOW MY HUMAN'S HALF'S COUSINS?"
Andrew grew silent at that w/ wide eyes as he thought of the implication.
HOLY... He thought.
Chompy, still very much confused, spoke up.
"So, what weird copycat want? Why make weird place?" Chompy asked.
Gester shrugged.
"I DUNNO. ONE MINUTE, I WAS TRYING TO TEST MY CAPABILITIES, THE NEXT, I MADE THIS ACID TRIP :\."
"Well..., are you... going to get rid of this place, or...?" Andrew asked, still shocked.
Gester chuckled as he lowered himself down to the ground.
"MAYBE. FIRST, THOUGH, I'D TO SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO."
Gester then suddenly materialized a red and grey scythe and slammed the blade down!
"I CHALLENGE BOTH OF YOU!" Gester boasted while mainly referring to Drake, "SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT."
Andrew and Drake, shaking themselves out of their shock, quickly readied their weapons, two grey blasters (Andrew) and a magenta, bladed chain w/ magenta lightning crackling on it (Drake). Chompy readied his tongue as well. When Gester saw Drake's weapon, he smirked.
"HEH, COPYCAT..."
FIGHT START!
(Song: Monochrome Nightshade) (Song: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/41548777/)
The fight turned out to be incredibly difficult, even though it was two-on-one. Gester moved very fast around the room, slashing w/ his scythe all the while. At the same time, though, he somehow used all of Andrew's colored weapons and every weapon that Asmodeus could use! While Andrew, Drake, and Chompy were on their A-game, they still had trouble w/ Gester! Unfortunately, though, when Gester got to half health, the fight had only just begun. Gester jumped up and crashed into the floor, causing everyone to fall! Drake, reacting to this a lot faster than his partners, grabbed a flailing Andrew, put him on his back, and used the debris to fall safer. Using pieces of the broken floor, Drake stuck his claws into the debris and slid down each broken piece, using his feet to help w/ that. As for Gester, he simply hopped down to the next floor piece, smiling w/ wide eyes all the while. As everyone fell, Gester shot his weapons out at the trio. Drake, in response, fired his own weapons in return, w/ Chompy and Andrew providing their own backup. After a bit, though, Andrew decided to activate his rainbow devil form, choosing to fork over some health in exchange for power and flight. When Andrew did this, though, Gester looked at him hungrily, w/ Chompy salivating a bit as well. For a while, Drake and Andrew had the advantage due to Andrew's enhanced maneuverability. Sadly, though, this wasn't to last. Gester made some dark energy appear on his arm. When Drake saw and recognized this, he was about to warn Andrew, but he was too late. Gester shot the energy at Andrew, making the latter's wings seize up and he fell.
"NOT AGAIN!!!" Andrew shouted as he fell.
As Gester began to unhinge his jaw to suck up the angelic energy, time seemed to slow for Drake. W/ a terrified expression, he remembered what his dad used to do, and what Natas had done to Andrew. Now, it was happening again...
"...AN!! BIG MAN!!! ANDREW IN TROUBLE!!!" Chompy shouted.
Drake, suddenly feeling beside himself w/ rage, had a shadow fall over his face as he felt his energy boil. Quick as a flash, Drake jumped up and grabbed Andrew out of the air. Before Gester could suck up the angelic energy, Drake rushed toward him, grabbed his face, and slammed Gester into the wall! Quickly, Drake forced his arms out and, after a bit, the falling stopped. Drake then reshaped the illusion, removing the walls and repairing the floor. Gester, angry, quickly stood up, tilted his head, and went stoic. Much to his shock, however, not only did Drake not float but Gester's concentration and cool were broken when he saw Drake's face. His eyes were black and cracked w/ magenta, his expression completely stoic. As for Chompy, he was equally expressionless, his eyes cracked w/ magenta as well.
"Drake...?" Andrew asked, feeling a bit scared.
Deathly silent, Drake rushed over to Gester, punching him up into the air. Gester, hurt and recovering his wits, tried to retaliate, but Drake, despite his size, rushed up to him and knocked him down, much to Andrew's shock. For a while that seemed to last forever, Drake kept on beating up his brother, merciless to a fault. As a result, Gester became badly damaged and Andrew became increasingly horrified as he watched from Drake's back. Eventually, Gester fell w/ a thud...
VICTORY?
Drake, wasting no time, rushed over to Gester's fallen form. He then quickly grabbed Gester by the collar and hoisted the fusion up. Andrew, fearful as to where this was going, Andrew quickly hopped off of Drake while detransforming back into his normal form and went in front of Drake.
"Drake, STOP!" Andrew shouted.
Drake, still silent, simply gave Andrew a stoic look. Andrew flinched a bit but pressed on nonetheless.
"Please stop. It's over..." Andrew said softly.
At first, nothing happened. Slowly, though, Drake's eyes began to go back to their usual selves alongside Chompy's. Shaking his head, Drake lowered his arm slowly and dropped his brother. Chompy made a grumbling noise.
"Ungh. What happened?" Chompy asked.
Drake lost it, that's what, Alter said.
Andrew gave Drake an unsure look.
"Are you good now?" Andrew asked nervously.
Drake shook his head.
"You know the answer is always no..." Drake said softly.
Andrew sighed in relief.
"Oh, thank God he's back!"
The couple then heard a grumble. They looked down at Gester's body. Andrew cringed and kneeled. He switched his SOUL to green and began to slowly spread some KINDNESS magic over Gester. For a while, Andrew healed Gester while Drake and Chompy stood awkwardly to the side. Eventually, though, the green magic ceased and Andrew stood up w/ an unhappy expression.
"*sigh* That's all I can do for him, unfortunately..."
For a bit, nothing happened. Then, slowly, Gester began to get up. He softly giggled.
"HEH, LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE BETTER, LITTLE BRO..." Gester muttered as he got up.
Andrew, Chompy, and Drake quickly readied their weapons.
"PUT THE WEAPONS AWAY, I GOT WHAT I NEEDED OUT OF THAT," Gester said.
Reluctantly, everyone dissipated their weapons. Gester chuckled.
"HEH, THAT WAS FUN, BUT I'M SICK OF THIS SHIT. I'LL GET RID OF THIS DAMN WORLD."
Gester clapped his hands loudly. Suddenly, the strange world began to crack. After a bit, the world broke away to reveal the real world. The main trio looked around in relief at this. A few feet away, their client stood w/ her back turned. Andrew turned to Gester.
"Um, Gester?" Andrew asked.
"HM?" Gester replied.
"Uh, what are we going to tell Gasper and Gwen?" Andrew asked, "They need to know about this too!
A shadow fell over Gester's face.
"I'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN I GET TO IT. DON'T TELL THEM, THOUGH."
"But-!" Andrew began.
He didn't get to finish before Gester suddenly leapt away and raced off, w/ the trio looking on in uncertainty. Andrew and Drake then shared a confused look and shook their heads. They then made their way to their client.
"Oh, you got rid of that nasty crack?" The woman asked.
Andrew nodded.
"Yeah, it was weird," Chompy said.
The woman nodded. She then pulled out three bills and gave them to the trio (Chompy held his bill in his tongue).
"$20," Andrew said.
The woman nodded w/ a small smile and walked off. After Drake and Chompy handed their money to Andrew, Drake took Andrew's right shoulder. Twitching his stitched tail w/ an uncertain look, Andrew teleported himself and Drake away...
