A lot of people thought Anti was an idiot.
Sometimes the glitch demon liked it that way. If someone thought he was stupid or weak they didn’t react fast enough before he cut their throat out. He’d made Dark bleed a lot of his rotten gunk blood before he treated Anti like the threat he was.
But he knew when the Septics were planning something. And they were planning something big. Not the fun kind either where it would be a fight and maybe they’d trap Anti into a bricked up phone, or a necklace, or that one time they forced him to be in a music box. This wasn’t the fun type of planning.
In fact, Anti suspected it had less to do with Anti, and everything to do with Dark.
Which always boiled Anti’s blood.
So Anti did what he always did best. He waited for Marvin to take one of his many walks around town. And set a car on fire right next to him.
“Hey!” Marvin called out, after getting spooked by it as a couple people screamed. His magic spun around him. “What the hell?”
Anti didn’t say a word, he just turned into a glitchy mess of aura and anger.
Magic began humming along Marvin’s skin. “Fine, asshat, let’s go.”
Anti’s latent aura got staticky as Marvin could only see malice and fury in his eyes as they clashed. Glitchy green aura mixing with the vibrant purples and silvers of Marvin’s magic.
Marvin was used to the quips and the threats, but whatever had set Anti off had him absolutely furious. “Did Dark come to town and no one told us? Did Rumble set your dick on fire?”
“Shut the fuck up,” Anti said as he kept trying to go for Marvin’s throat.
It took Marvin a while to tire Anti out and he started slowing down after destroying someone’s car.
“So, you gonna actually tell me what happened?” Marvin asked.
“You and the others are up to something and I don’t like it,” Anti said.
“Oh, because I’m probably moving to the States, at least for a little bit,” Marvin said, not thinking why that would be a problem.
Anti stiffened, so furious and angry that he looked calm. “To Egoton?”
“Yeah, well, no one in Egoton can see aura and they—”
Marvin didn’t get to finish, Anti lunged at him with renewed anger. Thankfully Jackie ran in to help him and being outnumbered and tired made Anti run off to sulk before they discorporated him.
The glitch demon would be back to fight with them another day, today he stewed in his anger. In his indignant fury.
Dark was not getting Marvin to play with. All the Septics belonged to Anti. They belonged to him. If Anti had to drill that into Dark and the Septics heads he would do that. If the magician wanted to fuck off to a different country, Marvin would make him leave an arm when he did it.
Marvin sent out a random text to Anti. ��It’s not personal, they’re just all blind as shit when it comes to aura.”
Anti sent a response of a phone virus over to Marvin’s phone just out of spite. Then he went to Egoton to get into a fight with Dark. The glitch demon used his aura to phase through every warehouse wall until he found the demonic mob boss in his office minding his own business.
The glitch demon got a couple scratches in and ripped Dark’s suit up but wound up getting discorporated in the end. He’d been fighting for a while and Dark discorporated him, unsure what exactly had set Anti off and not caring enough to ask.
The glitch demon was unpredictable and Dark changed into a new outfit and was left to deal with Anti after he’d reformed in a couple weeks.
