What Do You Think? (Thrax)

[Phantom Virus/Phil McLemore]

(ooc: March 22nd. Morning. Thrax/Phantom Virus bonding thread.)

Phil was nervous as he walked around the house searching for Thrax. He hadn't seen his virus friend since building this body. He'd told him what was going to happen. He knew they were different types of viruses and he hoped this didn't change anything. He'd never really had a real friend before and Thrax had been one of his first friends coming here. Sure he'd made other friends here but it wasn't the same as having a virus friend.

"Thrax? You here? It's me Phantom virus. Well I go by Phil in my new body so no one knows it's me. I'm sure they'll figure it out eventually but that won't be for awhile. Then the home team will defeat them and send them out of the park." said Phil.

He chuckled as he couldn't help the baseball puns. He knew it annoyed some people but it was part of his programming. And he couldn't stop it. He sighed hoping he found Thrax soon.

Thrax

[Thrax]

Thrax was a disease virus so normally having his friend be more like a human would've set him off. But Phantom was doing it to protect himself so Thrax didn't fault him at all. Electricity was a different source. A different power with different weaknesses. It was easier, no offense, to destroy him than Thrax. So Thrax had no problem. So he bided his time with staying away from the others and thinking of ways for he himself to benefit from the way. Thrax didn't really like anyone else but Phantom.

"Hey man. Right here" Thrax walked with ease and looked as his friend looked no older than DarkHeart. He looked like a college kid. He smiled though and nodded "Not bad, man. Not bad at all. You did some nice work" He raised a brow at Phil's puns but Thrax didn't care. He chuckled and nodded in approval "You'll certainly fool people with this look. So Phil huh? Not a bad name"

[Phantom Virus/Phil McLemore]

Phil smiled as he found Thrax.

"I'm glad I found you." said Phil.

He chuckled hearing Thrax's praise.

"So you like it then? Good. I chose a younger body because well I'm dating Dark Heart and this way I don't look too old to date her." said Phil.

He nodded.

"Thank you. I sort of decided to honor my creator Bill by calling myself a similar name Phil. I haven't seen him since my deletion. I've been told he was caught and arrested in my world. I wish I could bring him here." said Phil.

He smiled again.

"We haven't hung out too much which I feel bad about. I spent too much undercover in Facilier's army or hanging out with Dark Heart. And don't work. I may have organic parts to my body but I made sure to make myself immune to viruses. So you don't have to worry about making me sick. Although if I did have a virus in my body I'd prefer it to be you. Because you wouldn't try to kill me like most viruses would." said Phil.

Thrax

[Thrax]

"Good choice, my man. Don't want to look creepy next to your girl. I can dig that" Thrax replied, a smile appearing very quickly as his friend talked to him. He was glad his friend was catching up with him at last. Not that thrax was needy but it was always nice to be with his friend. Never hurts to talk to Phil. He then nodded, with a small smile as he said the name was a play on words of his creator's name. "Hey you'll find him or he'll find you. Until then you got your girl and me. She's not a bad looker, never knew you were a sly cat" He nudged his friend, chuckling in approval.

"Ah don't sweat it, phil. You were doing your job which means you needed to keep your cover. One wrong move and you could've been dead" Thrax said understandingly "We can catch up now, pal. No need to worry about things we didn't do"

He then gave a flattered, amused grin as Phil explained that although he was somewhat organic and immune to viruses, the only one he'd accept was Thrax himself. "Me? Kill you? Why killing you would be a crying shame. Besides, I don't go attack college kids. Too gross even for me" He winked before chuckling "But good to know I can't hurt you. That's the last thing I'd want to do"

[Phantom Virus/Phil McLemore]

Phil nodded.

"Yeah. And I guess I could always leave this body to be my electrical self when I wanted. But this body keeps me safe from my main weakness so it may not be smart to leave it too often. Especially as Critic's army has made surprise attacks here before." said Phil.

Phil nodded again.

"You're right. I'm sure he'll show up eventually. I'm glad I have you and Dark Heart though. It'd be pretty lonely here without you guys. You were the first real friend I had." said Phil.

He chuckled at Thrax's reply blushing a little.

"I know. Of course now I just have to stay on my toes. If I upset her I'll get Mechakara, Seven of Eleven, Rodney, Seven of Nine, Dr. Smith, Dr. Insano, and Dr. Inseudo after me. And I'm probably missed some people as well." said Phil.

He shuddered not wanting to think of any revenge they could give him. Especially Mechakara. He could be scary when he wanted to.

"Heh. I never thought I'd sweat before but this cyborg body I have new emotions and feelings and sensations I hadn't before." said Phil.

Phil grinned.

"I'm glad to hear that. We viruses should stick together and only hurt our enemies after all." said Phil.

Thrax

[Thrax]

"Yeah. Best you stay in this form. That way less chance of your hide getting deleted" Thrax knew his friend's weakness was a huge problem. It was easy to get rid of virus in his true form, so this body was a weapon as well as a way of disguising himself. It was best he'd stay the way he was.

"It's a cold world out here, you're gonna need all the backup you can get. And if it makes you feel better, I hadn't had a friend as good as you. Hell, I haven't had any friends myself" Thrax was not sad here, he was just being factual. He gave a nonchalant shrug at that comment "Too focused on my job on, well, making people sick. Virus' like me gotta keep making people sick in order to survive. You can't exactly be buddy buddy. But here, well, I'm glad I don't have to do that to survive" It was true. He enjoyed killing but he enjoyed having friends a bit more.

"Hey, I doubt you'll piss her off that bad. You don't seem like the type that hurts girls' feelings. Why are you worried though? You're a electric virus, can't you just, hurt mechakara if he like tried to hurt you?" Thrax wasn't trying to be mean. He was just very curious. He wanted to know the limit of his friend's abilities. To protect him a bit better.

"Welcome to humanhood. Where you have emotions you can't understand, and sensations you don't know how to react to" Thrax joked around, laughing a little. He got his friend was unused to being human, so thrax felt like fooling around. Thrax then smiled kindly as Phil said that virus' should stick together "Damn right we gotta stick together. You're my pal. I make sure my pals get safe. If those kids got any funny ideas, let's just say they'll get a life-threatening disease by yours truly" He smirked and winked at his friend.

[Phantom Virus/Phil McLemore]

Phil nodded.

"Yep. So their magnet trick won't work anymore. I can't wait to see the look on their faces when some fool tries that on me." said Phil.

Phil grinned.

"Well, I can understand that. Viruses are meant to cause destruction and pain. I never realized how lonely I'd been until I met you. Someone like me. It's a pleasure and honor to have you as a friend." said Phil.

Phil nodded again.

"I hope not." said Phil.

He paused with a frown.

"Then I look like the bad guy by hurting her father. She'd never speak to me again and I'd just make things worse. Not to mention he'd probably have a way to counter it or block it somehow." said Phil.

Phil chuckled.

"A lot to get used to." said Phil.

He grinned as Thrax spoke again.

"Exactly. That'd be fun to see you do. By the way, you got any enemies we should look out for? Other viruses or something?" asked Phil.

[Thrax]

"It'll be hilarious. See them so confident that they'll beat you and the shock when they realize old tricks can't work" Thrax chuckled a little, looking at his claws for a moment as he and his friend continued. He then smiled kindly as Phil said he was grateful to have him as a friend "Aww, stop you're gonna make me more red than I already am" He replied jokingly before replying seriously "Glad to have you behind my back, man. I trust you above everybody else"

"That's true. Don't want to break the kid's heart. It IS her dad" Thrax replied before raising his hands in defense "No need to worry about it, I was just curious" He then smirked as Phil confirmed it was hard to get used to. Before pondering at Phil's words. A anger that was almost forgotten came running back, he sneered "Jones. Osmosis Jones. I need you to help me find them so I can give him a nice little treatment" His main pointer claw glowed a deep orange and replied "Me and Jones go way back. Tried to kill some slob named Frank, Jones was a officer and actually succeeded in killing me" He growled slightly "I don't like being bested. So it's high time I find the cop and give him what's what"

[Phantom Virus/Phil McLemore]

Phil chuckled.

"Yes it will. I wish that video game existed here. I'd love to trap them in it. Or show them how it feels to be deleted." said Virus.

Phil grinned.

"Can't help how I feel. We were solitary creatures before. We didn't need anyone but this war's changed all of us. And I'm glad I got to meet you. We'll show Critic, Facilier and the rest of them not to mess with viruses." said Phil.

Phil nodded.

"Glad you understand. Besides he's got science and magic with that gem thing inside him. Not sure I could beat him even if I wanted to." said Phil.

Phil grin grew sinister.

"I see. Then how about this. We help each other out and eliminate our enemies together. If we spot them here we make them pay. Together no one will be able to stand up to us. We've never really fought together before. I think we could create a lot of havoc and pain as a team." said Phil.

He frowned.

"One of my enemies also has the last name of Jones. What a small world. Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers, and Scooby Doo will all pay for defeating me. And their cyber doubles if they show up here." said Phil.

Thrax

[Thrax]

"Oooh you sly dog, kill them with some sort of irony. I love it" Thrax replied, grinning ear to ear as his friend showed his sadistic side. Sure, with his girlfriend, he was more kinder but Thrax got to see the deep rooted evilness that his friend had and he loved it. Thrax made a soft laugh of realization as Phil pointed out this war changed them, therefore made the both of them requiring more friends. Thrax nodded "That's what war does. Changes people. Sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. I guess having at least a friend isn't a bad change" He then chuckled again "Love the attitude, my man. With that, we'll beat them in no time"

"Yikes. That does spell danger. With a dad like that, your girl doesn't need protectin'" Thrax was a little impressed Phil managed to handle such a father like that. Pressure like that tended to scare Thrax off. But then again, Phil was in love and love made you braver. Then he smirked with interest as his friend planned that they work together as a duo to defeat their enemies together. He chuckled, evilly and with a sinister side he hadn't shown thus far "You know how the old saying goes 'two heads are better than one'. You got yourself a partner, my man. Especially since seeing the look on Jones face when he sees you come out of no where"

"Small world indeed. I guess Jones is just a last name meant for goody two shoes" Thrax smirked. He then nodded with enthusiasm as Phil insisted on getting his enemies back "Oh don't worry your head about it. They're officially on the flight for Thrax's plague" He smiled, showing his orange glowing finger "First class"

[Phantom Virus/Phil McLemore]

Phil chuckled.

"Yes. Although trapping them in a video game for eternity has its own sorts of fun. But sadly someone would just free them so better to finish them off once I have them." said Phil.

Phil nodded.

"Yes sometimes change is for the better. Like this new body. Now those magnets won't work on me." said Phil.

Phil shrugged.

"He's not so bad. He's actually kind of cool when he's not being intimidating. Sometimes both." said Phil.

Phil grinned.

"Good. I wouldn't have it any other way. With the two of us working together we'll show viruses can do more than infect things and people. We can change the world." said Phil.

Phil chuckled.

"I suppose so." said Phil.

Phil grinned.

"Next time one of them's on the battlefield maybe you could try to get one of them sick. If they're sick they'd be easier to capture or kill." said Phil.

[Thrax]

"Well yeah, just killing them just finishes the job and gives closure. But we could always make the death slow and painful for them, that way we're killing em and it's fun" Thrax smirked, looking at his large pointer finger for reference. He nodded "Yeah now your enemies won't know what hit em. Cause they'll be out of ideas on how to fight you" He then nodded and felt a bit relieved he wasn't interested in anyone. He didn't have to deal with the family of the interested party. He shrugged "That's cool man. Hey having a tolerant relationship of the dad is always good"

"Oh believe me we will my fine friend. We got ourselves a damn good set up. Those losers won't know what they're messin' with" Thrax grinned at this, chuckling more in amusement. Feeling self-satisfied that his good friend and him were going to take advantage of their enemies. When they found them that is. He then nodded, grinning more "Haven't been in action for a while. But once I get to, I'll be sure to test that theory out" He winked and glowed his finger "Probably one of the leaders if I'm lucky"

[Phantom Virus/Phil McLemore]

"Or if I could design a trap that no one could escape or free them from I wouldn't have to end my fun so soon either. Might need Insano and the others help for that one. If it's possible." said Phil.

Phil chuckled.

"Exactly. I can't wait to see their face when they try to stop me with a magnet and it doesn't work." said Phil.

He shrugged.

"He's not so bad. I don't really know him that well but he does seem pretty tough and cool in his own way." said Phil.

Phil grinned.

"So have you ran into any of your enemies yet?" asked Phil, curious.

Phil nodded.

"Well, perhaps the next time we get a hostage you can try more things out. After all so much you can do in a battle with people trying to interrupt you." said Phil.

[Thrax]

"Hey if that doc can get us all here in one piece and bring people back from the dead, the world is his oyster at this point" Thrax was a bit intimdated by insano. He was crazy but he was dangerous. Thrax couldn't help but have respect for the doctor as well as fear him. It was one of many reasons to stay loyal to ask thatguy in thrax's mind. For all he knew insano could think of ten ways to kill him. Thrax then laughed as phil wanted to see the look on his enemies faces if a magnet didn't work "Now that I think about it I wanna see what these kids look like just so I can see them scream at the sight of ya"

"Hey man, like I said, if you are friends with the dad that makes it easier" Thrax wasn't entirely concerned but he allowed his friend to talk about his relationship. He just let the conversation flow like water. He then responded about enemy encounters "Afraid not. Either jones is a coward or he just ain't here. Either way getting mighty bored of not seeing him"

"True. Maybe we try that next time. Get a human hostage and see what I can do to them. Lord knows it can get messy if I try" Thrax said, his chuckle low and cold. He wanted to kill someone badly. Especially a human. Maybe killing one of phil's enemies would be a good place to start.

[Phantom Virus/Phil McLemore]

Phil chuckled.

"I guess it is hard to imagine what he can't do." said Phil.

Phil grinned.

"You know it does amuse me that Shaggy is not only a monster but Facilier's familiar. Basically his pet. Almost wish I could turn the rest of my enemies into monsters. That'd be perfectly fitting to me. Spent much of their life hunting fake monsters and stopping real ones to get turned into one." said Phil.

Phil chuckled.

"It'd be fun to mess with them in other if we couldn't do that." said Phil.

He grinned.

"Either that or he didn't get the full-size treatment you did. If he got stuck in someone's body you'd never get him." said Phil.

Phil nodded.

"Although maybe have the geniuses find a way to weaken the virus to a degree. I mean it'd be less fun if we got someone and they died in a couple days or got so sick we'd have to leave them in the medical bay." said Phil.
