Not As Alone As You Think
#9
Medusa silently clicked her tongue as it seemed like the boy didn't know the way to somewhere where they could hear rumors. "I can't believe this kid is so useless. He's even more useless than that child of mine. Why must I always be around incompetent fools." Medusa thought to herself, her right foot gently tapping against the ground. She narrowed her yellow eyes at the boy.

"Oh? So the boy is actually useful after all?" Medusa thought to herself as the boy started to walk ahead of her. Perhaps the boy did his uses after all, everybody had their own uses. Medusa followed behind Neku observing her surrounds trying to remember the area as best she could. "Things would be so much easier if I had some more of my magic. Can't believe that Omni being left me with so few spells." Medusa mused the idea of why she had been thrown into this world. Why did Omni find her 'interesting'? She desired for the world to stop being so plain and boring. She found the answer on how to not make the world so boring. That was to unleash chaos. Why Chaos? What would people do during a time of crisis? Would they maintain their cool and overcome the ordeal or would they lose hope and end up failing?

Medusa continued to toss around the thought of why Omni chose her until Neku's voice brought her out of her thoughts. "Um, Medusa are you okay?" Neku asked, slightly tilting his head to the right. Medusa still maintaing her facade let out a soft giggle. "Yes, I am fine. I was just in deep thought about certain things." Medusa replied, it was an answer that Neku didn't question at least.

"We're here, this is the Saint's Plaza. There are a some stores around here and this place is pretty huge. You are bound to here some rumors or run into some interesting people." Neku stated looking around the Plaza. The plaza was a well kept place. The grass at the entrance of it was neatly trimmed and there seemed to be no signs of trash. Little did Medusa know that it was illegal to litter in the Plaza. Still going with the observation of the place ahead of Medusa and Neku several yards away there was a grand fountain. The exterior of the fountain was made out of marble and beautiful sparkling water could be seen raising from the fountain. There were various benches seated out beside the fountain with what Medusa presumed to be couples sitting on those benches. There was a walkway that led to the fountain and various neatly cut trees decorated the sides of the walkway.

Medusa turned to Neku to only see him still observing the beautifully made Plaza. "Neku, I'll meet you back here in a few hours. I'll go look around and if I see some clothing stores I'll do some shopping. Bye." Medusa said and walk off, giving a casual wave goodbye to Neku. "Okay Medusa. See you later!" Neku replied, giving Medusa a short wave as well.

Medusa walked down the walkway her bare feet pressing against the ground. Medusa was accustomed to walking barefoot, rough terrain posed no problem for Medusa. "I actually wonder if I should look for some clothes? Maybe I could just pass off saying that I couldn't find anything that I liked in a clothing store if I find one. Well I plan to visit some area to get some information, might as well check in a clothing store as well." Medusa thought, giving a nod of approval to her plan.

Medusa walked past the various couples sitting on the benches they glanced up at Medusa. Of course, who wouldn't take a glance at the oddly dressed women? Instead of wearing casual clothing she wore a odd attire, not to mention she had a weird...tail following behind her. They just simply wrote the woman off as a prime, anyone that seemed odd was most likely a prime these days.

Medusa walked past the fountain and followed the walkway. Medusa assumed that the walkway led to various shops and locations. Several minutes past of Medusa walking down the walkway but soon enough she found several shops. Most of the shops rivaled that of the houses in Death City. They may be even bigger than the houses Medusa saw there. Fancy, decorative lights covered the buildings drawing attention from various people. "Quite the spectacle," Medusa commented. The sun was just now setting so the workers had decided to turn the lights on a few minutes before Medusa had arrived. The lights seemed to draw more people and more people meant more customers, which meant more money for the workers.

Medusa pushed open the door hearing a sound echo throughout the clothe filled store. "Hello! Welcome to 'Fashion Girlz'!" A voice shouted out to Medusa. Medusa's yellow eyes narrowed at the woman who was running towards her. The woman wore a short, white pencil skirt that stopped a little above her knees. She had fair skin with glossy black hair pulled back into a pony tail. "Um," the woman's eyes scanned Medusa's odd attire. Medusa was still wearing her suspicious clothing and she had 'Tail Snake' still activated, the tail gently flickering. The woman like the master salesperson she is quickly recovered herself, putting a bright smile on her face.

"Let me guess, you are a prime, correct?" The woman asked lightly tilting her head to the right side. To this Medusa gave a 'yes' confirming the woman's hunch. "So glad I guessed it! Your odd clothing makes you look weird. Most weird looking people are usually primes. Well, that's what most people usually assume." The clerk said and motioned for Medusa to follow her. Soon enough Medusa and the clerk were casually walking down the aisle. "Oh, sorry for not introducing myself. I'm Sydney and I'm a clerk here at 'Fashion Girlz'." Sydney said, glancing back at Medusa.

"I'm Medusa Gorgon, as you can already tell I'm a prime. I had recently came here so I'm curious as to whether there are any interesting rumors. I'm quite a curious prime." Medusa stated, letting a small smile grace Medusa's features. Of course Medusa was just interested in hearing some rumors, she didn't have any interest in the clothing that Sydney was offering. "Now that you mention it, there was something odd going around about a girl. It isn't a rumor but I do think what happened was interesting." Sydney said putting down a skirt that she was going to show Medusa. "Let me think for a minute. This was recent to." Sydney said crossing her arms over her ample chest, tapping her foot on the ground while she thought. She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate recalling what her friend had told her over the phone.

"I wonder what it was. Perhaps they might even have a bounty for the girl? Then again she might not have done something bad. Would hunting bounties down be beneficial? It would be a serious problem if this Omni being got 'disinterested' in me and I couldn't be revived again. So I still have to be wary of things. That was how I got killed be Stein, I was too conceited. I let my guard down for a second because the Kishin revived. I thought that I had won because I had simply secured the Kishin's revival, that was when Stein turned the tables in a instance." Medusa thought to herself, having a distant look in her eyes. However, the sound of clapping brought her back to reality.

"Ah! I remember. It was about some fight that interrupted out in the middle of the street. Some girl on a moped ran into another girl. So then this demon came out of the girl's back who was hit and there was a robot, a guy who was floating, and some other man who was alongside this demon girl. Anyway, the robot who was with the group suddenly freaked out. So the girl who was on the moped sorta back up and the robot started attacking the demon girl! The man who was with them helped out the girl by fighting he robot. Apparently the girl wields a huge sword but from what I heard she's really scrawny. Anyway, some Stormtroopers came and interrupted the fight before anyone could get serious injuries." Sydney said returning her attention to the skirt she was still holding.

"Oh? A girl with a demon coming out of her back? This.....this sounds oddly like Crona. I doubt that Crona would be in the Omniverse though. Maybe, Omni said he just took an interest in Medusa, he might be interested in several other people." Medusa thought to herself, she turned her attention back to Sydney who was scanning throughout the aisle trying to pick out outfits for Medusa. "Actually Sydney tell me more about Primes here. How many come everyday and about how many are there in this world?" Sydney hearing another question closed her eyes and thought to herself. There was no way that Sydney, the amazing salesclerk, would turn down a question asked from a kind customer.

"Well, there is no actual limit to how many come and how many are in this world. It's weird but Primes appear everyday and some disappear everyday. Some of the Primes who went missing come back as well! This is a really weird place, and not even everything is understood. So I can't really answer your questions, sorry." Sydney said giving a slight bow to Medusa. Inwardly Medusa clicked her tongue. Was everyone just suddenly useless today? Then again, the woman did give Medusa some great information about one rumor. The woman wasn't exactly useless but Medusa just wished she could have been of more use.

"I see. Well thank you for giving me that interesting rumor. Do you know anybody who might have some more information on this rumor? I would actually like to hear the descriptions of the people from the group." Medusa asked the clerk yet another question. The clerk showed no signs of annoyance towards Medusa's many questions in fact she even looked happy to answer them! "I actually think Lizzy from 'Style is our name' was there whenever the fight was breaking out. Just ask for Elizabeth since that's her real name and somebody should be able to find her for you. The store is across the street um, four stores over? I believe that's right. Well if you find the wrong store then just ask somebody to show you where 'Style is our name' is at. You will be fine." Sydney said giving a small smile towards Medusa.

"Thank you very much. Well then I'll be-" Medusa's sentence was interrupted whenever Sydney grabbed Medusa by the wrist. "Um, sorry but can you stay for a little bit? I know I can find you a good outfit so just give me a little bit of time. That weird outfit does't suit you!" Sydney said, determination blazing in her eyes. To this Medusa only let out a sigh, she suppose she could do this to pay the woman back. Then again Medusa wasn't sure she could manage to get away from the woman upon seeing how determined she was to find a outfit for her. "Okay, I'll give you some time." Medusa said weakly, giving the woman a wry smile. To this the woman started to speed walk down the aisle glancing through a variety of skirts of shirts assessing them. Sydney stopped midway and turned back to Medusa giving her a small wave. "Sorry, you can take a seat this might take a while. I want to pick out a great outfit for you! The seats are in front, also can you do something about your tail? I mean...if you can't then don't worry about it!" Sydney said and turned her full attention back to finding Medusa an outfit.

Medusa casually walked back near the front doors where the seats were placed. As Medusa walked back she toyed with her 'Tail Snake'. She tried to figure out how to remove it, was it even possible to turn it off? Medusa stopped where she was standing and concentrated. She wanted the 'Tail Snake' to go away, she wanted it to disappear. She imagined herself without the 'Tail Snake' and tried to concentrate again. Soon enough Medusa felt what had been a third limb somehow vanish. It was as if it had been cut off and she had no more connection to it. Medusa quickly found a body sized mirror and looked into it. She twisted her body around to only see no signs of 'Tail Snake'. "Oh, interesting. I'll toy with this another time though. It's not the best idea to be dematerializing and materializing a tail now is it?" Medusa said to herself letting out a slight chuckle.

Soon enough Medusa was seated in a chair taping her finger against her thigh. "I thought it wouldn't be this long. What the hell is making Sydney take so long? It doesn't take anybody this long to pick out a outfit." Medusa mumbled to herself. Medusa's arms were crossed over her chest with her right foot lightly tapping against the marble ground. Soon enough Sydney came back with a bright smile on her face. "Sorry it took so long, I manage to get you an outfit ready. The outfit is in the changing room come this way and I'll show you the changing room." Sydney said but she didn't wait for Medusa to even respond. She quickly turned back around and started to walk off, it seemed as if Sydney was eager to see Medusa in the outfit she picked for her.

Within a few minutes Medusa was staring at a large brown door. Sydney was waiting behind Medusa wanting to be the first person that saw Medusa in the outfit she choose. It was weird that Sydney was this excited just to see Medusa in a outfit, then again Medusa knew nothing about Sydney. Medusa entered the changing room and looked at the full body mirror in front of her. Once again a sigh escaping past her lips she started to get changed. A few minutes had past and Sydney was still waiting outside for Medusa. Her eyes, that were filled with anticipation, were glued onto that changing room door. Soon enough the door opened and Medusa stepped out.

Medusa stood there with a white blouse for her shirt. The blouse was short sleeved with frills decorating the edge of Medusa's sleeves. There were frills at the bottom end of Medusa's blouse. The blouse hung to Medusa's subtle curves showing off her figure. For pants Medusa wore a simple pair of blue jeans that stopped at her ankle. Instead of going around barefoot Sydney took the liberty of getting Medusa some shoes, she had to guess Medusa's shoe size but looking at how they looked on Medusa Sydney had made the right guess. Medusa wore brown flip-flops on her feet. Even though the outfit was overhyped it was certainly better and more casual looking than Medusa's previous attire.

"So what do you think?" Sydney asked, a bright smile still lingering on her face. Medusa herself thought that the outfit was good. There was one major problem that Medusa disliked about the outfit, it was that it wasn't made to be fought in. Of course this was a problem to be expected however that was the only thing that Medusa disliked about the outfit. "It's great." Medusa replied with something short and sweet. Sydney clapped her hands together in joy. "Great! Let's get you ringed up then you can go!" Sydney said and quickly started to walk towards the checkout center. Medusa followed behind her with her other outfit in hand.

Soon enough Medusa was out the door and on her way to 'Style is our name'. Medusa's flip-flops flopped with each step she took. "Let's see across the street and over? Yeah she said over but how many buildings over? I guess I'll see if I can locate a sign for it. I wonder what I'll do if this 'girl' is who I think they are." Medusa thought as she continued to walk across the street. Medusa wondered how long it was since she came to this world. Had she been forgotten? Had the Kishin successfully caused chaos?

"I wonder what the people will do now that the Kishin is revived. Would they drown in their fear or successfully fight it off? Either way it would certainly be interesting to see. I'm stuck in this world though, maybe even years have passed? Who knows centuries could have past even. Maybe even a few seconds! It would be interesting to see the events of the future. Right now I'll try to figure out more to this world. I'll use that boy until he leaves or until he served his purpose. If I do something to....unspeakable to him then I'll simply kill him. Then again he can revive but I doubt he would come after his killer if they're significantly stronger than them. Ah, look at me. It seems like I'm underestimating human emotions again, either way I have to play this safer." Medusa mused to herself.

Medusa then realized that she was in front of a store. The store sign read 'Oldies'. Medusa opened the door stepping into the store. The store just like the previous store was filled with clothing, but unlike the other store this was filled with clothes that looked....out to date. There was a pair of pants that had huge pants leg that looked like Medusa could fit her entire head inside the pants leg and almost even fit her shoulders in there as well! Medusa disliked the variety of clothing she saw in the store. It just gave her a bad taste in her mouth and she could never she herself wearing any of these clothes.

"Hello?" Medusa asked to seemingly nobody. Medusa hoped that at least somebody would tell her where the store is again. Footsteps echoed throughout the seemingly desolate store. Soon enough a middle-aged woman came into Medusa's view. The woman was wearing a white sundress with a apron over that. She had brown hair put into a hair-bow and tossed over her right shoulder. "Hello, what can I do for you?" The aged woman said a smile coming onto her face. "Yes, I'm looking for a store called 'Style is our name'. Do you know where it is?" Medusa asked, this caused the woman to slightly frown. The store owner had been looking forward to getting a customer only to see somebody wanting directions to another store.

"I actually do. If you go over two buildings you will see a blue building. Then when you go inside there are two sections, the section to the right is 'Style is our name'." The woman said and gave a short bow to Medusa. Medusa seeing no need to stay here any further turned around and opened the door, leaving the store. Medusa walked two buildings over and she saw the blue building. Without a single second's waste Medusa opened the door. She was greeted by a sign that said 'Style is our name' right, 'Feisty Fashion' left. Medusa turned to the left to see a teenager carrying a pile of dresses away. The teenager had neck length hot pink hair. She wore a short-sleeve green, collared shirt with a red apron over that and a simple pair of blue jeans.

Medusa watched as the teen carried the pile of dresses away walking into another room. Medusa entered the store and looked around it. 'Style is our name' was a decent size since the building was occupied by another store on the other side. "Ah!" Medusa turned her head to see a man walking towards her. The man had short brown hair that went to his neck with chestnut colored eyes. He looked to be over six feet tall and had a slim physique. "Sorry for making you wait, did you want anything? Were you interested in browsing some of our outfits?" He asked with a smile like any good salesclerk would do.

"No, I actually just bought this outfit recently. I was wondering if there was anybody named Lizzy," Medusa said.

"Actually Lizzy was just here, I wonder where she went. Lizzy!" He shouted the latter out letting his voice echo throughout the store. "Coming!" A voice replied back. Soon enough the same pink haired girl that Medusa had seen a while ago was walking towards the man. "What is it Lark?" Lizzy asked, lightly tilting her head to the right.

"This woman was asking for you. You know you shouldn't make customers wait." Lark said, a slight frown visible on the man's face. "Ah! Sorry! I promise it won't happen again." Lizzy said giving Lark a slight bow. "What do you need?" Lizzy asked turning her head towards Medusa. "Actually I was interested in a certain thing that had happened. It's going around that a demon girl, a robot, a man, a moped riding girl, and a flying kid was in a fight recently. I asked somebody about this and they told me that you were there when it happened. I was hoping that you could give me more details on their appearance and such." Medusa said with a slight smile starting to grace her features. Medusa knew that it was always good to smile it usually swayed people in her favor. Smiling at somebody wasn't actually doing any harm to Medusa so she didn't see no problem smiling.

"Oh yeah, that did happen. Let me see. So this girl riding a moped out of nowhere trips! The girl is sent flying and lands on top of the demon girl. Then the demon comes out of the demon girl, oddly enough it comes out her back. So the demon gets mad at the girl who slammed into them and then the robot starts to freak out. Out of nowhere the robot launches a beam! Luckily enough the man who was standing next to the demon girl, the demon girl, and the girl who ran into demon girl got out of the way. So then the man and demon girl start to fight the robot. That was whenever I started to run away," Lizzy said.

Medusa inwardly sighed, she didn't want a description of what she saw she wanted to know what the demon girl looked like. She may be reunited with her dear child. Ah, how many experiments she could do on Crona if she finds him. Then again, there were other people who Medusa could experiment on. Though she would be interested to see the capabilities of the Black Blood now that it was in the Omniverse. What was it restricted to, what could it achieve? Could it surpass even Medusa's expectations? Just thinking about what kind of experiments she could do made her heart flutter.

"I'm more interested in hearing their descriptions. I may not look it but I'm a Prime as well. I want to be on the look out for them and even stop them if I see them doing anything to harm innocent people." Medusa said making Lizzy bop herself on the head. "Sorry! I thought you wanted to hear the story. Well then again, you probably heard it if you came to find me," Lizzy said.

"Let's see. The demon girl had on a weird black dress. She was really, really skinny and she had like a really big sword. Um, she had pink hair and the demon was big, black and came from the girl's back. The demon had sphere for eyes with x's on them. That's really it." Lizzy said giving a few nods of her head. This made Medusa inwardly smile. There was no doubt in her mind that Crona was now in the Omniverse. However Medusa wondered if the Kishin revival was successful? Did the time within the world Medusa came form really differ from this world's time? How much time had passed?

"I see. Thank you very much that was all I needed." Medusa said with a bright smile, little do the salesclerk now that they had just done something horrible to the poor demon child. With this Medusa didn't wait for them to reply, she just left the store. Soon enough she was back at the entrance to the Plaza waiting for Neku. Medusa was in a great mood though. She had just discovered that one of her experiments was in the Omniverse. Various thoughts filled Medusa's head. How had Crona developed his powers or what were their powers restricted at? Could Crona manage to evolve their Black Blood into something else with the power of Omnilium? Medusa wondered what could Crona accomplish in the Omniverse with his Black Blood. Medusa looked into the distance until to see Neku's figure starting to enter her sight.
