Greatest Demonhood
A.N.- Man, I'm sooo glad I came up with this before anyone else, I got some good ideas for this fic ^_^, the only problem being that I don't have very many good ideas for this fic, so I'll just jump in and hope for the best!
Chapter 1: Miss Me?
Parent's day...
As is common in human schools, this is by far the single most dreaded day every year at Evil Academy; yet for different reasons. In human schools, students are often ashamed and humiliated by their parents behavior while all their friends and classmates are there to watch, alsFo being humiliated by their parents, at Evil Academy, this couldn't be less true; the vast majority of demons are very proud of their parents (or parent, in many cases, demons aren't very well know for being patient and satisfied with just one... spouse, so to speak), so proud, in fact, that it causes... problems.
I'm sure the reality of the situation will dawn upon you quickly, but I'll give you a hint anyways. Think about it, put several thousand over-inflated and violent demonic egos together in one building, all talking about how great THEY and THEY ALONE are, and just imagine where that leads.
Chaos, quite simply, is where it leads, but chaos with a goal- to prove who has the strongest parent or parents. Since fighting ALWAYS erupts on this day, someone always comes out on top, thus earning bragging rights, if nothing else.
But despite all that excitement you don't need me to tell you that despite how proud most demons are of their parents, Parent's Day is dreaded by many. Mao's father is... less than capable for this celebration, for obvious reasons; so he naturally detests it, and what about his close friend-
"She's NOT my friend!"
-Raspberyl. Raspberyl dreads this day probably more than any other demon, for... difficult reasons.
Raspberyl is, of course, a delinquent- but I'm sure you've known that already; what you probably don't know, is that her father is a demon among demons, a living legend among Overlords, his great, dark tales could hardly be exaggerated. Needless to say, this causes complications with Raspberyl's... delinquent nature. Fortunately enough, at least for Raspberyl, not once has her father shown up for a single Parent's Day, not even when he was in school, but this time is different; this time, his arrival was announced the day prior to Parent's Day, as it was BIG news to common demons.
Today is the big day- Parent's Day, and the whole school is abuzz with the news that the great demon will soon arrive, and everyone is prepared to display their worst behavior for the great demon, much like human children would for their favorite celebrity... Everyone, of course, except for Raspberyl and her delinquent friends...
"My lady, are you alright?" Kyoko asked, her concern was deep, like a true friend in this time of need. Raspberyl was huddled in the corner of her room, all alone, with the lights out- nautrally she was more than a little unsettled by her father's inevitable arrival.
"Aren't you happy to get the chance to reconcile with your father?" Asuka asked, ever the optimistic one.
"Not a chance! My father is the most demonic demon EVER! He doesn't care about anything, especially not me! Once when I was not even 1,000 years old he set me on fire! On purpose! For NO REASON AT ALL! It wasn't even put out by my tears... He didn't even help to put me out, either! He just pushed me into a lake, and did I mention I'm not a very good swimmer when I'm on panicking and fire?"
"Really? That's so... evil! setting a little girl on fire... his own daughter no less! That's so beyond honor student... that's just... plain evil!" Asuka eloquently voiced herself.
"What a monster! We'll protect you, my lady" Kyoko assured Raspberyl, not to much effect.
"No, you girls gotta get outta here while you can! There's no way you can stand up to him!" Raspberyl said, hastily pushing them away.
"You know we're strong, we can protect you" Asuka said resolutely, gently pushing Raspberyl back. After another minute of Raspberyl and Asuka arguing, finally Raspberyl succeeded in getting both of them out of the room. Asuka was about to storm back in and adamantly say she was going to help when Kyoko caught her arm.
"I'm not so sure about this Asuka; I heard that once, her dad beat Mao's dad at arm wrestling, and have you SEEN how big Mao's dad is? I don't even know how that's possible!" Kyoko whispered once they were out of the room.
"Oh, Kyoko, there's no way that's true! Everyone knows that Mao's dad is the strongest Overlord there is, how can anyone, much less a demon that isn't an overlord, be stronger than him?" Asuka chuckled.
"What about Zetta? And Baal? And that other one with the long name- that little boy's father... oh, and that little boy-"
"Stop being so cowardly! And you're thinking of Krichevskoy and Laharl;" Asuka cried, halting Kyoko's list of demons that were probably stronger than Mao's dad. "Besides, it doesn't matter how strong he is, we're going to help lady Raspberyl because it's the right thing to do, and as delinquents, it's our job to DO the right thing."
Kyoko was stunned silent for a moment, being so rudely cut off by her delinquent friend. But she was right, Kyoko soon realized, and finally she came up with an answer:
"Right you are! We have to help our lady now, when she needs it most; and damn the consequences!"
Both Asuka and Kyoko forced their way into the locked room, immediately Raspberyl jumped about 3 feet in the air and hid under her bed, only slowly coming out once she realized it wasn't her father that just barged into her room.
"My lady, we're going to help you whether you like it or not!" Asuka said, resolutely, almost to a point of a demand that she was absolutely going to help, but the kindness in her voice was still evident.
"I guess I can't stop you two; you two are such great badasses, I pray to god that my father has mercy on you." Raspberyl said, and all of them prayed together for almost a second when the silence was broken by a most unwelcome visitor.
"Praying helps so little; and you know there is no god more powerful than I, so why not just ask me in person?"
Raspberyl shrieked and hid under her bed in a flash, much quicker than her father could even turn the lights on. Both Kyoko and Asuka prepared a fighting stance, ready to stop him at any cost, not really prepared for what they were facing once he turned on the lights.
Raspberyl's father was... stunning, at the very least. Both Kyoko and Asuka expected some horrible and probably massively overweight monster, but at first glance he looked almost human, but only at first glance. His hair was black and reached just short of his... very masculine shoulders; if only his face wasn't so furious-looking, both Kyoko and Asuka probably would've fallen for him at the sight of him, but his face was lightly distorted with scars and light burns, mostly on his cheeks, and one stylish scar cut across his right eye, which he probably made himself. His perfectly and probably overly-muscular upper body was clothed in a somewhat tight black leather suit, while his baggy black pants held a veritable bandolier of pockets labelled with various objects, about half of which were labelled "Cigarettes", one of which was in his mouth at all times. On his head were horns, much like his daughter's, but MUCH larger, each was about as thick as either Kyoko or Asuka's arm at it's thickest point, and also much like his daughter, he had a spade-shaped tail, but his was navy blue, in contrast with Raspberyl's pink tail.
"You little girls should put away those sharp sticks, you'll probably hurt yourselves far more than you would hurt me, check my level if you disagree." He spoke in a deathly deep and dark voice. Both girls followed his orders, just out of curiosity.
"Level... 1900!" Kyoko cried under her breath, only heard by Asuka.
"Don't be afraid... don't be afraid..." Asuka whispered, loudly enough for both herself and Kyoko, her spear now shaking in her hands.
"I assure you both I'm not going to hurt her, I just wanted to say hello after... how many years has it been? 512, I think... Or was it 1,512...?"
"She's not even that old! What kind of parent are you, to not even know how old your only child is?" Asuka said aloud, and even Raspberyl's father couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh? And what makes you assume I only have 1 child, hm? You're right, but that's beside the point. Well since I'm pretty sure that turning you two inside-out and parading your guts around the school won't sit too well with my daughter, so I won't do that, I won't even kill you in some other nightmarish way just for opposing me as I would typically do to... little girls like yourselves; but be warned, this isn't the last time you'll be seeing me, Raspberyl dear, you or your... brave, to say the least, friends. You can't stay in here forever, class starts tomorrow!" He said as she slipped out quickly and uneventfully.
"What did he mean by 'class starts tomorrow'? Is he a TEACHER now?" Raspberyl gasped frightfully, crawling out from under her bed about a minute after he left.
"I think he was referring to us a delinquents; since we can't skip class, he'll be waiting for us at our classes." Asuka thought out loud.
"But he can't stay, Parent's day is only for today!" Kyoko said, almost joyfully.
"Oh yeah? You wanna tell him that and kindly ask him to leave?" Raspberyl asked rhetorically.
"Point taken... Good thing today is Sunday or he'd probably meet us at class today..." Kyoko sighed.
"Maybe we should ask someone for help..." Asuka said, and both Kyoko and Raspberyl took the hint.
"Somehow I doubt he'll be willing to help..." Kyoko said, almost a chuckle at such a ridiculous notion.
"Well I suppose that since Mao's dad IS the overlord, he can't refuse a command from him; even if he IS obviously stronger than Mao's dad..." Raspberyl hoped aloud, yet quietly- she didn't want to risk her father overhearing their plans.
A.N.- Meh, a decent enough intro, I guess... Chapter 2 is much better, I assure you all (since it IS already done)
