The Conversation that probably WAS :))

Everytime we tell others, "I'm fighting an internal conflict," we fail to realise that there are some out there who perk up at these words, thinking that their invisible fight has finally been recognised and acknowledged. But no, we keep disappointing these humble souls that are continuously striving for our sakes by continuing with "...so not in the mood to talk."

Because! A literal, real and very much alive fight is going on!


On a bright, happy morning...


Master: I'm fighting an internal conflict...

Skin: No you aren't, we are.

Master: ..so i'm emo and I don't wanna talk about it.

Mucous: Gee man, I work like slaves giving birth to Lys everyday and all that moron of a Master has to remember is her mental problems.


Skin: Excuse me, you think you're the only one? I not only have to sweat (literally) to give birth to Lys okay, there's still Sebum.

Lysozyme & Sebum: Peace, forefathers, we're here for the same reason, let's not allow war to rage among ourselves.

Mucous: War already is raging! Look, there's the enemy! Za, have you returned for revenge?

Influenza: No i'm here to make allies.


Skin: Allies! You?! Us?! Hah!! Get away or i'll make Lys go after you!

Mucous: Peace, brother, let us hear what he has to say.

Influenza: I know of your Master. She has neglected you all, hasn't she?

Skin, Mucous, Lysozyme and Sebum were quiet. Could they deny that?

Influenza: What if...we joined forces and taught her a lesson eh?

Skin: What's there in it for us?

Influenza: Well, nothing much really-- other than, perhaps, satisfaction. Take it or leave it, i'll be doing the dirty job anyway. All you all gotta do is...let me enter.

And so the pact was made.

The Master was going to school, moaning and complaining about how her life sucked.

Meanwhile, a sudden out roar raged among the Phagocytes. Neutrophil and Monocyte were having an argument.

Nuetro: Listen up men! There's been foul play! Foul play, foul play!

Mono: Enemy detected! Enemy detected! Second Line of Defence! Calling the Second Line of Defence!

Neutro: Za's coming! Listen, Mono, gather the men, I will enter Interstitial with my men first, we'll wait for you there.

Mono: No, we're leaving now, we're going to Lymph.

Neutro: You can't. Listen to me, Lymph has turned to join Influenza and the other rebels!

Mono: It's more strategic attacking from Lymph!

Neutro: No, we have to go to Interstitial.

Mono: Why should I listen to you? Men! Come with me!

And so Mono and his men left a shrieking Neutro and proceeded to Lymph, where they actually joined forces with Influenza, betraying the worthless Master and Neutro. Neutro and what's left of them fought against the army of Influenza they met in Interstitional.

While at Interstitial...

Nuetro: Commando! You take Bacterium 1 to the left, i'll fight the other cohorts!

Commando: Yes, sir! I've extended my pseudopodium!

Neutro: Carry on! Carry on!

Commando: Engulfment, check!

Neutro: Time to carry out the Phagolysosome, Commando!

Commando: Yes, sir! (releases Lysosome)

Lysosome: Lysozyme discharged! Bacterium 1 destroyed!

Neutro: Bravo, men! Charge forward, forward, forward...

However, the mass of Influenza Bacterium were too heavy and the army was forced back into BloodStream.

Neutro was defeated..

Neutro: There's nothing else we can do, Commando. There's only one thing left to do...that is to wait and see. Our only hope left is Immune Sys. The rest have joined the enemy...


The army of Influenza managed to overcome the Second Line of Defence, what with Monocyte and the rest letting them in. And the last battle commenced.

Antibody 1: Antigen spotted! Antigen spotted!

Antibody 2: Eh? Antigen ar? Who's one? Weiii, i just fell asleep leh. (Sorry ar, tired with the good English liao)

Antibody 1: It's Za! Influenzaaaa!!! Waaaaa..!

Antibody 2: So? What you want me to do? Agglutinate? Neutralise? Opsonise? Or carry out Lysis ha? Faster liao.

Antibody 1: Agglutinate! Wait no, Phagocyte doesn't wanna work with us any longer. They won't capture Antigen after we clumped them.

Antibody 2: Like that i neutralise lorrr...

Antibody 1: We can't do that! Za's too strong for it, it has evolved, the toxins are harder to neutralise this time.

Antibody 2: Walao eh, you very loso. Like that I opsonise lor...

Antibody 1: No no no! Told you Phagocyte doesn't wanna help already! Which part of it do you not understand! What's the point of marking Antigen, huh huh huh?

Antibody 2: Then? Lysis ar?

Antibody 1: No no no!

Antibody 2: I sleep 1st laaa you decide then wake me up.

Antibody 1: Hey wake up! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

Antibody 2: Zzz...

Antibody 1: Fine! We'll Agglutinate... No wait, we'll carry out Lysis, no, Neutralise. No! Opsonise! No no, won't work, Lysis i spose. No no no. Opsonise. No, Neutralise. No, no no...

And that was how it went one...with Antibody 1 ranting, and Antibody 2 sleeping on..

And so Influenza broke in and Master fell sick.

And ended the emo days of Master and she started taking note more of the true internal conflict raging.

Began appreciating Defence more than ever and took care of them and acknowledge them.

And they lived happily ever after. The End.

Moral of this Story: Appreciate your health, keep your thoughts positive. And don't revise Biology in excess.
