Disclaimer: The following is a KhaosOmega fanfic. The only thing i own is the Zintherra character and a couple of plot elements; everything else belongs to their respective owners. Please support the official release.
Chapter 1: Starting the Nightmare
Most of Scuttle Town was awoken by a feminine scream from the vicinity of an abandoned lighthouse.
Four people in particular rushed to the scene. One had purple hair and an odd skin color, while the other three had normal skin colors.
Once they got inside they saw a girl whose purple hair was in a ponytail was caught in some kind of bizarre trap.
"SHANTAE!" a hooded female yelled in shock. Caught in the trap was Scuttle Town's resident half-genie guardian Shantae. But there was someone else there as well.
The other purple-haired girl noticed who it was.
"Oh fuck!"
"Risky, did you just say what i think you did?" a shocked Shantae asked.
"Shantae, it's Zinthurra."
"The Empress of Nightmares?"
"That's right."
"What do you want?" Shantae asked.
"I wanted to check on the cute whore of Scuttle Town." Zinthurra said.
"Excuse me?!" Shantae yelled.
"Well, you have the body, and you definitely have the moves to be one."
"You can't make me."
"You don't have a choice. I've made it impossible for you otherwise, the only outfit options available are slutty ones. On top of that, the lowest available heels are a non-platform seven, with all others at least matching that instep."
"Really?!"
"I can't believe i'm being forced to do this." Shantae moaned an hour later. Her outfit consisted of a pink lace strapless lingerie bra and matching panties, with fishnet stockings and pink extreme stiletto sandals.
"So, any ideas on what you intend to do now?" Sky asked.
"Well, I was able to nab THIS from Zinthurra before she left." Shantae said as she revealed a sheet of paper.
Sky gasped. "That's an Omega Angel Map!"
"OH MY GOD! I can use this to locate the seven sets of items for the Rainbow Nova transformation before Zinthurra can!"
"Why do you want to do that?" Sky asked, confused.
"I don't exactly trust Zinthurra. Heck, i don't think she's even the real Empress of Nightmares."
"You would be right." a new female voice said. Sky looked at the source - and promptly gasped.
"OH SNAP! The real Empress of Nightmares, Zintherra."
"Sky, how much do you wanna bet the fake is actually Ursula?" Shantae asked her female friend.
"I don't think i wanna bet, just to be safe. Besides, if her plans get XQ involved THEN we'll know it's her."
"Dang, Sky, that way of thinking is just like XQ agents think." Shantae said. "I think i'll go after item IV-1 first, it's closest."
"Zintherra, if you can find out anything about the imposter's plans, let me or one of my friends know." Sky said to the black-cloaked Empress of Nightmares.
"Sure thing."
