CH 15: E.N.D (E3)

(A/N: Reference for E.N.D's (evil Ego, neutral Null, good Devotion) much friendly expressions. By the way, I didn't use this concept just for fun though. It's actually going to be really helpful. Especially with magic for ಠ⁠◡⁠ಠ. (Thanks for evil and neutral's names by the way, Kushal_Dubey_8099!)

Also, I'll say this so I won't need to every second. D is always smiling gently, his lips are just naturally curved upwards, N is 24/7 that SpongeBob meme that's looking at the ghost, and E always has one side of his mouth curved up in a smirk, always ready to throw insults and roasts.)

"Whoaaa!! It worked!" The three Alistairs pointed at each other. The meme gods would be proud. They were all smiles, looking at each other in wonder :"It seriously freaking worked!"

"What worked?! Why are there three of you here?!" Gwen asked aloud, pulling their attention. Looking at the group, they noticed their baffled looks. Even the Tennysons were shocked at this point.

"Hmph, do you even need to ask?" The cocky one scoffed with a smirk :"Obviously my intelligence resulted in my making the best use of one of my favorite aliens! Goddamn, am I smart!"

Seeing their still confused expressions, the normal looking Alistair gave a short sigh, eyebrows raised and unimpressed :"How is that hard to understand? Look, so Remix can duplicate itself, but all of them are still Remix. I used that ability to duplicate while Remix, then transformed back at the same time. It's really not that hard to understand."

"The concept, maybe!" Ben said :"But you're talking as if it's just the most casual thing ever! And why are you all acting so weird?!" Placing a hand on the neutral's shoulder to stop him from rolling his eyes, the much kinder looking Alistair smiled gently at Ben :"Benji, it's not that we're acting weird. Uh... let me explain since these two might be a little... mean with words."

"Huh, it's not my fault if they fail to understand simple words." E mumbled, checking his nails as N shrugged, showing he somewhat agreed. Causing D to sigh :"Come on, you two. Don't be so rude." Getting an idea, he smiled, looking like he wanted to calm two children :"It is a pretty awesome feat, after all! It's normal for them to be surprised speechless for what we pulled off!"

Halting at blowing his nails, E glanced at nowhere. Contemplating D's words, before he smirked smugly :"Well, that I can agree with. Alright, I guess they have the right to be baffled at our awesomeness."

N just shrugged nonchalantly :"Eh, I don't care as long as they get the gist of it. Just hurry up so we can do what we were planning on doing." And sat down with E next to Ben, who looked at them in confusion.

"Alright, then I'll explain." D smiled, sitting down as well :"So what happened is just as N explained. I took advantage of Remix's duplicating ability, and managed to duplicate my normal, human self after transforming back! Pretty cool, right?"

"I guess it makes sense. As for actually working, I would have been amused if you had told me before I saw it myself." Max said dryly, looking at them all :"So what's with the way you three act? And which one's the real Alistair?"

"All three of us." E answered with a smirk :"Let me put it in the simplest way possible. Consider Alistair as a cake, —Which I absolutely am— that has been cut into three pieces. Now where is the center part of this cake? In all three pieces."

"Hm, that's right." N nodded :"So the reason for our differences in behavior is that my main personality has literally been divided into three pieces. From what I can see, to my left is the kindness, me as the neutral, and to my right is the cocky one."

"Does that explain what you call each other?" Gwen raised an eyebrow, causing D to smile brightly :"As smart as ever, Gwendolyn! Just as I would expect from you!" Making her smirk as D continued :"And yes, that's right. My name is D for Devotion the kindness." N raised his hand nonchalantly :"N for Null the neutral." E spoke while still sporting a smirk :"E for Ego the jerk, at your service."

"I don't think you're a jerk." D smiled kindly, stroking the back of E's head. E rolled his eyes, but didn't push his hand away and neither did he stop smirking. Instead, he leaned into the touch :"Don't give me a reason to prove you wrong, D. Also, I would have gone with C for Cocky, but was stuck with the idea of our names spelling E.N.D, so here we are."

"So even you guys didn't know he could do this?" Drew caught their attention, causing E to scoff :"Who was going to know, Gwen? Pft, I would be humored if she took her eyes off of school applications for a minute. Or who, Ben? That's not even a joke, monkeys are more creative."

Ben looked offended :"Hey!" And Gwen glared :"I guess you're living up to what you described, Jerk!" Causing him to snicker :"Good job, you just announced the obvious. Need an award for that?"

"Huuuh, come on, E." Poor D looked like a tired mom, looking at E with pleading eyes. Sighing, E rolled his eyes, his smirk disappearing for the first time :"Fine, I'll lay off. But only because D doesn't like arguments." Seeing the way his large missing piece of kindness smiled brightly, he found himself giving a small smile like N sitting between them.

Even if most of their kindness was missing —because it was literally materialized—, it wasn't like they were completely missing him. And besides, just having him around was enough to improve their moods.

"That's not permanent, is it?" Zak asked, earning a nonchalant look from N :"What do you think, genius? Of course not. We can just transform into Remix and mix into one again." But his rude behavior —which clearly wasn't in his books— annoyed D, who gently jabbed his side :"N!"

Before smiling awkwardly and apologetically at Zak :"I'm sorry, Zak. They kinda got my rude side." Gwen raised an eyebrow :"So... the entire side?" Making him chuckle nervously like an innocent airhead.

Elbowing N a few times, E whispered into his ear :"We sure he's our kind side, and not our nonexistent sissy side?" N eyed D, before glancing at E and smirking dryly :"You mean our very much existing sussy side?"

"Kekeke!" They shared a quiet snort, before coughing into fists when D glanced at them warningly.

"But seriously, this is amazing." Drew got up, walking up to them and checking them out from all directions :"You can clone yourself instantly and even fuse into one just as quickly! This ability will let you save so much time and energy."

"And let me do so many —fun— things, if you know what I mean." E whispered to N, both of them smirking. Even if separated into pieces, the horny was too powerful to be weakened.

"Pfthahahaha, untie, that tickles!" D giggled as Drew moved his hair, checking his hair and ears in amazement. But hearing the nickname, a vein popped on her forehead :"Hey, I'm no auntie! I'm not so old as to be called auntie!"

Tilting his head innocently, D looked confused :"But... you have sun even older than me." And Drew felt like the vein on her forehead was about to pounce and D. Keeping her cool, she pinched his cheeks, smiling angrily :"I. Said. I'm no. Auntie!"

"Ugh! Ugh... a-auntie..." He groaned as his cheeks were pulled and pinched, trying to push her hands away as he grabbed her soft hands. But the way he was trying to stop a smile, and the way he tried to hold back little giggles showed he was enjoying teasing the older woman. Which managed to make her angrier :"Why you little...!"

While the two were busy wrestling, —not in the way End would have wanted— Doc pinched his chin, amazed :"But seriously though, this is amazing. To be honest, I kinda thought you two were exaggerating your abilities at first. But now that I see it for myself, I realize just how powerful your transformations must be."

"Huh, just as you'd expect from your's truly, Alistair." E looked ever so proud :"It's so like me to make the best use of my transformations' abilities to pull off clever and amazing feats and tricks." As N drew on the ground with a stick, cheek resting on his palm, he glanced at Ben :"Unlike someone who just goes for brute strength."

"Hey, that's not true!" Ben defended :"I-I also do awesome things with my aliens! Didn't you see how I ran on water and even made a water tornado with XLR8?"

He earned a criminal offensive side from the neutral :"Only because you have to since the watch gives you the wrong aliens. Which as I have said numerous times before, is because you slap the goddamn thing with all your might."

"W-well..." Ben looked away, pouting a bit :"The fact that I come up with them at the spot is more impressive, no?" Earning a boombastic side eye from E :"You sure that's not because of the watch planting the instincts of the aliens in your head? Hence how you can fly and do crazy stuff even when it's your first time turning to those aliens?"

"I... well, I-... ugh, shut up, Al." He grunted, cheek on his fist as he looked away in annoyance. Beside N, Drew and D's battle came to an end, —not the one End preferred— and the milf pointed warningly :"I'm warning you, never call me auntie again, got that?! I am NOT old enough to be called auntie, and just not old in general! Understand?! Call me something else!"

"Then... auntie Drew?" He tilted his head, faking innocence as he held his stinging cheeks, —not the one's End preferred- — making veins pop on her beautiful face, smiling angrily :"How is that supposed to help, that made it even worse! Ugh, goddamn it, just call me Ms Saturday, got that?!"

"Um... well, okay, Ms Saturday." He nodded, before flashing a genuine cute smile. Combined with his features and the way he was holding his cheeks, Drew couldn't help her motherly side from finding him adorable. In the end, she pinched his cute nose gently :"You're lucky you're adorable, you little weasel. I would have gotten a lot more violent if it was anybody else."

The two were mostly ignored. Except by Ben who simply grew more frustrated due to jealousy, and E and N who hid a small, evil smirk. While E smirked in victory, Doc grew even more curious :"It can even do that?! Wow, those watches must be two of the most complicated devices in the world! Alistair-"

He was interrupted by the ever so nonchalant N :"Call us End while we're like this. Alistair is for when we're whole. When we're a complete menace." E nodded, seemingly impressed :"Preach."

"Alright then, End," Doc chuckled in amusement :"Ben said you can switch back and forth between the aliens quicker. Can I ask you to show me your transformations please?" And Ben's eyelids flew wide open in realization :"Wait, that's right! I completely forgot! How did the subject suddenly change from checking if my watch has that feature too or not to you suddenly cloning yourself?!"

"..." End froze in place, before they looked at each other :"We forgot about it too!" With smirks and smiles, the three activated their watches and were about to transform, if not for N and D catching sight of E's hand.

Specifically, the hand that was pulled so far back like a trigger. Like how Ben's would. Cold sweat ran down their necks, and when the hand that was like the end of all came shooting down, Null quickly caught the sinful hand by the wrist.
