Alice Kuraiokami's Death

"From what i'm seeing here, you should be dead. Your heart is not beating, your blood, which is mostly Dark Matter now, is not pumping through your veins, your organs seem to not work. At least most of them. But your brain activity seems to be just fine. Maybe even better than before." -Steve

"Alice Kuraiokami's Death" is the 5th chapter of The Dark Empire.

Official Synopsis
In this chapter we found something interesting about Alice 's state and we also learn about the so called Super Substance. Besides that, we meet an old friend of Steve.

Plot
A week has passed since the events of the previous chapter. The chapter starts with Alice coming to Steve, who has been working on a special substance. As soon as she stepped in the room, Steve told her that the substance is finished.

After a small discussion, Steve says that the substance is supposed to massively increase his regeneration rate, which would make him practically immortal.

Axel stepped in the room with a tablet, which held the results of Alice's analysis. He handed it over to Steve. His happy mood has faded along with his smile upon witnessing the results on the tablet. Axel and Alice noticed it and waited for the news. After a short while, Steve told them that Alice's body is not showing any signs of life, with the exception of her brain. After a short while of silence, Steve said that it was not bad, and that she was now immortal.

Alice stopped him, and then said that her being dead or alive does not matter to her, as long as her dreams stay alive. Axel and Steve were surprised by her inner strength.

After that, Steve showed them a small laptop, saying that he made it by himself. However, it is implied that he made it with somebody else. As he pressed the power button, a face appeared on the laptop's screen, introducing itself as M. I. C. A. P. (Master In Chemistry And Physics). Steve then proceeded to explain that Micap was made for complex calculations.

Axel attempted to ask Micap where Professor Mox was. In response, the computer said that he doesn't know who that is. Axel was upset over that, but Alice and Steve cheered him up with a group hug.

After that, Steve took a syringe with the special substance in it, and prepared to inject it into himself. On this moment, the chapter ends.
