Ok, so here is one of my most random stories I started writing when I was really into disgea. I even read the manga! Woo! Anyway, as I re-read this for the millionth time (and I apologize ahead of time, for I couldn't get any of my friends to read it for corrections, so it probably is still a bit….rough in grammar and spellings) I still only kinda like it. I mean, I like the ideas and jokes, but not how it's worded. But whatever, it's still kind of good and I wanted to get something else posted up. Please review!!
Chapter 1:
What were they thinking? …..Oh yea, they weren't
Adell let out a sigh as he collapsed in one of the waiting rooms at the coliseum. It had been an excruciatingly long day and he was more than ready to put his feet up. Rozalin sat as well, done seeing to the wounds that had been afflicted on their team. Not that she cared about those stupid dolts, they were just minions that worked for the even more stupid human that was sitting across from her. She especially did not have feelings for that one particular level 24 male fighter whose name she could care less to remember.
"How's the team holding up?" the red-head said casually, trying to make conversation.
"They're fine, even that one stupid level 24 male fighter- er……I mean yes, they are all well."
Adell just rolled his eyes; demon women were so fickle, especially when it came to liking other males. Her royal highness had gone through a crush over each one of the males they had hired to work for them. If it wasn't the bone mage for his smarts, it was a fighter for his strength. One of the many reasons he was not interested in women, as he had stated to everyone who would ever ask. Hey, he had to be honest, even if it was about his very sexuality.
"Ugh, I'm tired of this hell-hole and smelling like something a commoner would find on the side of the road. I am turning in for the night." At that Rozalin got up and walked from the room, her chest bouncing as much as her fluffy dress, which, of course, drew the male's eyes that had been competing.
Adell nodded and looked up, surprised to see a pair of eyes on him and not on the bouncing bodice of the departing princess. Those eyes, after a moment of contemplation though, belonged to one he knew would watch him anyway.
"Hey, Bridgett. Fights go well?"
The flower boy smiled as he bounced over to the other, "Hello Adell! Why aren't you turning in as well? Most everyone else has gone."
Adell blinked and looked around; sure enough, most everyone was gone except for his party and few prinnies that were forced to clean up. The teen waved to those in his party, motioning them to turn in as well. They happily took the chance and were gone in a matter of minuets, making the room even emptier. This caused Adell to feel… a bit uneasy. So, to keep things honest, he decided to clear the air and say his thoughts.
"Listen Bridgett, I know we used to go out and all but-"
"I know, I know," Bridgett sighed, his petals seemingly losing a little color, "You hate demons…."
"That and I really didn't feel anything between us…" Adell pat the other; he really did feel bad for letting Bridgett down, but what else could he do? He couldn't ever lie about how he felt…
"But still, if we face each other you have to go easy on me, ok?" he flashed Adell one of his dazzling smiles, trying for one last try to have to other see in him what he saw in the human.
"Ok, but I'll still win," Adell smiled as he stood, "Sleep well, alright?"
"Right…..Night."
Rejected.
Meanwhile around the corner a certain blonde 'Dark Hero' and his crew were listening in on the whole conversation.
"Did you hear that?! Sounds like flower boy used to go out with the human hero!" Axel exclaimed quietly to his group, "And it sounds like there could be unsettled love issues left between them!"
"Axel…. baby…. You're not possibly scheming something again, are y-"
"I can see it now! We get the two alone in a romantic situation and bring them back together! Then, we would get to watch the jealously unfold with the princess and see the wrath of Rozalin! It's perfect I tell you! Perfect!" Axel smiled and threw back his head in one of his victorious 'Dark Hero' laughs, very satisfied with himself.
The director contemplated this idea before finding a smile to light his face. "Yes…. We haven't put a love/drama into our show in a long while! This might be just what we need to boost our ratings! Axel, darling, you are a genius!"
One very suspicious zombie cameraman watched the two in their jubilant laughter, knowing very well that their ideas were far from the same, even if they both came from the same caliber of mind.
"Mwahahaha, does any person who dares call themselves a hero dare take on the great DARK HERO AXEL!!"
Adell grumbled and looked out of the window of the inn he was staying in, "What's happening?"
He blinked at seeing the so-called t.v. hero Axel standing outside the building he was currently staying in; now dodging various weapons and other projectiles that were being thrown in his direction. Obviously moody demons did not enjoy being woken up in the middle of the night.
This of course did not even phase the 'Dark Hero', for he kept his eyes upon the building until he spotted the bright red locks of a certain human.
"Oh-ho, we do have a challenger! You dare go up against me to rescue this fair mai- I mean man?!" Axel called up to the window that he was standing right below. Beside him was a very tired and confused-looking Bridgett who was all tied up, though it was done very messily. The cameraman and director weren't very far away either, the director handling the fan that had been put up to blow Axel's coat for an even more dramatic effect.
"Mnn…. what are you doing with Bridgett?" Adell said sleepily, then just sighed, "…. Can you come back tomorrow? I need my rest for the rest of the coliseum challenges tomorrow and your shenanigans are too loud for me to sleep."
"My shenanigans!? How dare-" Axel sighed and took a breath; no, he could not lose his temper now, he could not ruin his chance to have such an awesome segment on his show. "Very well, but just to let you know we will not have the fair Bridgett aiding us if it is put off until morning."
"Cool, maybe Bridgett'll be able to get some sleep as well," Adell yawned once again before retreating back into his room.
"WAIT!! NO!! I MENT THAT WE WILL DISPOSE OF YOUR LOVER TONIGHT IF YOU DO NOT COMPLY!!"
Adell was immediately back at the window, "What did you just say?!"
"Ha, I knew you come back if you knew your lost love was in danger-"
"He is no such thing!! How dare you spread rumors-
"ALL OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!!" Rozalin screamed from her window, then fired off a round right at Axel who squealed and picked up the flower boy before running off, zombie right behind and director huffing with a heavy fan behind him.
"Damnit…." Adell cursed and put on his shoes before heading off after the crew, cursing the stupidity of the 'Dark Hero'.
"Ah yes, this is a perfect spot!" the director smiled proudly at his handiwork.
Bridgett had been tied up hanging from a branch that dangled him over a deep ravine; the sound of a rushing river could be heard far down below, and it was anyone's guess on how deep it was to let a fallen survive. Bridgett now was wide awake and close to panicking at his new predicament; it was at times like these he wish he had turned into a demon with claws or spikes or…something sharp!
Axel gazed upon the scene in front of him with a little unease. "…Are you sure that this is safe? I don't think my insurance covers cliff falls into raging rivers. I mean, I'm all for action, but not when it could threaten my life like this…"
The director just laughed and smacked Axel on the back; "Don't worry! We have everything planned! Adell will come to rescue Bridgett, then find out who his real true love is! Now, take your place as the fearless Axel and get on set!"
"Right!" Axel then took his place in front of Bridgett, trying to look foreboding, not catching the slyness in his director's voice.
They waited….
And waited….
And waited…
And waited…
"WERE THE HECK IS HE?!" Axel fumed, becoming highly annoyed.
"…Maybe he got lost?" the director commented, trying to sooth the star.
"How could he get lost!? We told him the exact time and place to meet us!!"
At this Adell came walking out of the bushes, rubbing an eye, "Oh, are you guys finally ready?"
Both Axel and the director blunk, "Huh?"
"Well, I thought I'd come here early, but you guys weren't ready yet, so I waited over here and….fell asleep…" Adell laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head as the other two prat fell.
"Well, now that you're here let's get this show started!!" Axel smiled, taking his stance, ignoring how Adell had just made a total idiot of them for the third time that night, "Now fight me to free your true love!"
"What is with all this 'true love' junk?" Adell sighed before shaking his head and taking a fighting stance, the fire erupting in his eyes, "But, if it's a beating you want, then it's a beating you'll get!"
The two stood across from each other as a dramatic wind was blown across the small opening. Stars above twinkled high above them, but neither noticed, for they were set on the pupils of their enemy's eyes. First to make a move was Adell, deciding that he wanted to get back as soon as possible so that he could get some sleep; he knew that Axel was really no match for him… and also that the branch Bridgett was on might break at any instant, that was a bit of a problem to deal with as well. He rushed forward and took some punches at Axel who just managed to doge.
"My turn!" Axel smiled, "Super Dark Hero Ru-aaaaaaaaaaahhh!"
In the middle of Axel's rush Adell stepped aside, causing him to go off balance. So, flailing about and trying to grab anything, Axel managed to grad ahold of Adell's tie….
Right before falling over the side of the ravine, dragging Adell with him.
Director and cameraman stood side by side as the peeked over the ravine's edge to find no sign of the human or demon below.
"…..If he does survive….which is highly unlikely….But if he does; does our insurance cover cliff falls into raging rivers?" the zombie asked as he watched the water below.
"……We don't have any insurance."
"…..Well shit."
First chapter! Love reviews! Thank you for putting up with reading this so far!
