The Shark House - Chapter 56 - Alice in Toyland

Alice was arming herself not for battle but for war, jaded by Dave's breakup, she forged her toy army to enter her fight with Nasu, she couldn't help but think of how she ended up in this situation.
For years, Alice took great care of her grandfather's toy store, fighting off offers to buy the store from rivals, influencers and even her own sister, this only got worse after the pandemic, she hated the fact that money saved for development was given to the Highways instead, then Razzmatazz's hostile takeover tipped her over the edge.
She had hope that Dave Dreamer would understand her feelings, despite his checkered history with the Highway teams, he held a lot of influence and building Aquasonic, the world's first fuel less car would kick start a campaign to take the role of Mayor as her grandmother was retiring next year, then Razzmatazz's ego tournament would give her a chance to take him out for good, but she didn't anticipate losing to Dave so she setup Lisa to disable the system so Razzmatazz would get incapacitated, she did get the codes from Cassius Stardust but only agreed to an alliance if he left the toy store alone, it worked and Alice went aggressive with her campaign, but the Highways fought back, Kara Shindo's own influence with the government didn't stop money from going to the Highways and as a last straw, Misao told Dave and Nasu what she did leading to the break up.
Nasu watched as a full army and a heavily armed Alice entered the arena, Alice fired a glock immediately but Nasu blocked the bullet with her hammer. Dave stepped out from behind Nasu.
"I thought you were different Dave, I thought you of all people would understand my feelings" Alice yelled.
"You used me just to win favour from the Highways and what you did to Lisa, she could be killed, not to mention Razzmatazz" Dave yelled back.
"You hated him! You even said that you'd do anything to avoid having to do Smash Zone" Alice yelled louder.
"You tried to kill him!" Dave pointed out.
"Good riddance I say, he mines crypto, he convinces kids to buy his shit energy drink and threatens hostile takeovers if you even dare resist, he's a menace!" Alice fires again with Nasu blocking.
"Stay out of this Warhammer! I don't even know why you challenged me to begin with" Alice shouted.
"Dave is innocent in all this, so I'm defending him" Nasu readies for battle.
"Fine then, I'll take you out first" Alice put her glasses on and immediately had to dodge a fast hammer attack from Nasu.
Alice followed up with a gun barrage but Nasu's armour was too strong. Alice moved on air skates to keep up with a surprisingly fast Nasu.
"That speed, you're a gymnast, suppose that tiny bust is good for something" Alice ordered an ambush but something arrived to slash up the soldiers, Sylvia wielding two swords arrived to help Nasu.
"American Samurai" Alice had to dodge a meteor attack as a giant woman in a princess dress barely holding her well endowed form arrived to help as well.
"Emily Mifune, the Amazoness of Texas" Alice gave an annoyed look.
