Noblesse Oblige of the Queen
Summary: Marry decides to give up trying to save her friends... but that doesn't mean she's going to do what Kuroha wants. No, she was the queen after all. If she was going down, she was taking him with her! Ficlet thing. Not KuroMarry. A tiny bit of MarryHibi if you squint.
Disclaimer: *waves a sign that says: "No."
A/N: Uhhh. I'm totally not ignoring my other stories. Nope.
Ayano and Hiyori watched silently as Kuroha bent over the silent figure of Azami.
"Mistress Azami... you don't have to worry about controlling the Daze anymore. I've found a new mistress." He smiled and patted the medusa on her head. Just that gesture alone showed that Kuroha considered Azami to be inferior to him.
As he turned to walk away, Azami whispered: "...thinking of making her your puppet queen? She won't bow down to the likes of you."
Kuroha paused and frowned, before shaking his head and laughing.
"You're delusional." He smirked, walking back to Azami. "After all..."
"You're-" KICK.
"Useless-" KICK, KICK.
"To-" SPLRAUCK. That was the sound of a pole digging further into Azami.
"Me-" He gave the pole one final kick.
"Now." And slapped her playfully on the cheek.
He looked around at the dangling bodies surrounding him. His trophies - the bodies of Ayano, Hiyori, and... Azami.
"AhahahaHahaaAAAAAAhahaaHaaaHaaaaaaaHAHAHAhaaaaHahaaaaaa!"
Marry cradled the body of Hibiya in her arms. "..."
"Good morning, Your Highness." Kuroha greeted Marry.
"..." Marry stared back at him listlessly.
"I hope you took my words to heart. You know it's useless to reset the timeline again."
"...I know."
Kuroha grinned. Finally! She was listening to him!
"Hey, Kuroha.."
"Yes? The boy looked at her with interest. She had said his name for the first time.
"You know how in all those storybooks... it's considered noble to die alongside your friends?"
"...yes." Kuroha frowned. He didn't like where this conversation was going.
"...heh." Suddenly, Marry waved her arm and a pole began to move.
"What are you..."
"It's already the 19495038492th time we've done this... I should know when to give up."
"Hey, wait..."
"I won't bow down to the likes of you. The Daze can collapse for all I care."
"No, stop-!"
"It's useless to save anyone anyway. Hibiya-" She gestured at the boy on her lap. "Failed. Even after trying so many times.
Kuroha's eyes involuntarily flickered to Hiyori's body hanging to the side. A pole protruded out of her ribcage.
Marry's arms and hair started moving faster. As Kuroha leapt forward to pin her down, a dozen poles rushed forward from all directions and stabbed Marry multiple times.
'No-!' He screamed internally as Marry's body crumpled. Underneath him, the ground began to shake.
The Daze was crumbling.
Kuroha spun around desperately. He had to do something, anything-!
"Fuck you, Kuroha." Marry whispered as her eyes slowly glazed over.
He stared at her wordlessly. He continued staring at the dead queen even as a pole started to fall towards his head.
Behind him, Azami's silent figure smiled.
