Nico and his vassals stopped at a village and asked any of it's residents if they saw anyone with the same descriptions as Chiaki or Coden. For the most part, they had no luck.
"I blame Komaeda." Seven said, "His Bullsh*t powers are probably given' the rest of us bad luck or something."
"Come on, Seven. You need to have hope." Komaeda told the badass.
"Let's keep looking." Nico ordered.
But before they could continue, Mean Dino began to whine.
"What's wrong, Mean Dino?" Nico asked his T-Rex.
"Oh, I know that look." said Nekomaru, "Your T-Rex need's to take a Jurassic SHIIIIIIIIIIII...!"
Suddenly, a counter that read "Big Sh*t Count: 5" appeared over their heads.
"Godot, what is that?" Nico asked his adviser.
"It's a counter for every time the author of this fan-fiction uses that joke." Godot answered, "Apparently, we're going to see this joke a lot."
"I feel like we asked for this since we brought Nekomaru along..." Nico said.
Nico then had his T-Rex go outside of town to take care of business.
"You think we'll find them, Godot?" Nico asked.
"It's hard to say." his adviser told him, "But as crazy as this sounds, we should take the advice of your jester; have hope."
"Yeah... I guess your righ..." but before Nico could finish, there was a huge explosion outside of town, and moments after, Mean Dino returned to the group.
"Whoa!" yelled Seven, "I didn't know your T-Rex's boom-boom literally went boom-boom!"
"It normally doesn't." Nico said, "The only time it does that is if he's eaten..."
But then Nico was interrupted by a familiar shout of "Son of a BITCH!" as his janitor covered in SHIIIIIIIIIIII...! (Big Sh*t Count: 6) headed their way.
"So that's what he ate before leaving." Nico said, "Heh heh... Sweet."
"What a crappy experience!" Komaeda said.
Nico ignored the pun and had his mages, who were previously arguing if yoai or yuri were better, wash him down with a water spell.
"So now we have a useless load on our backs." Nico said, "It's too far for him to walk back to the castle, and we need to press on."
"Don't worry, Nico." said his jester, "I'll be in charge of protecting Morishige. Ha ha ha!"
"Somebody SAVE ME!" Yelled the janitor.
Nico and his vassals continued to ask around the town some more. Having no luck, they were about to leave the town, when they spotted a familiar face.
"MY GODDESS!" Seiko screamed as she jumped on a female overlord and started to motorboat her.
"That's enough, Seiko!" Nico called out.
Seiko pouted as she walked away. The female overlord got up and dusted herself off before greeting Nico.
"Lord Nico of the Picky Penguin Netherworld." she said, "It's been a while."
"Lady Asahina of the Mermaid Swamp Netherworld." Nico said, "Likewise."
"You're pretty far from your castle." Godot said, "What brings you here?"
"Oh, I had to shop for more donuts." said the Mermaid Swamp Overlord, "They have some of the best in this town."
"But why go so far just for donuts?" Riku asked.
"Yeah. Couldn't you ask one of your vassals to get them?" Nagisa asked.
"Well, I wanted to show my vassals my appreciation, so I went out to get the best donuts for them... Unfortunately, I got really hungry on the way back and had to return here with a friend to get more."
Nico and his crew then realized there was a swamp witch carrying twelve boxes of donuts behind Asahina.
"This is Mettallia. She's in charge of making sure the donuts make it back to the castle this time." she said.
"You ate THAT many donuts before coming back for more?!" Nico asked.
"Where do all those donuts go...?!" Nekomaru asked before taking a quick glance at Asahina's chest, "...Never mind."
"Wait... I've heard of that swamp witch before." Cloud said, "If I'm not mistaken, she'll die if she's away from her swamp for too long."
"Under normal circumstances, yes." Mettallia said, "But since I'm with a swamp overlord, I can survive so long as I'm close to her."
"Yeah, that makes sense." Cloud said.
"By the way." Godot asked, "Have you seen any angels around. One is a girl with short pink hair and soft pink eyes, and the other is a cat in a cloak."
"Sorry... Haven't seen any angels around." Asahina told them.
"...I have." said Mettallia.
"You have?" Asahina asked, shifting her attention to the swamp witch, "How? You've been with me the whole time, haven't you?"
"Yeah, but I assume you didn't see him because you were preoccupied." Mettallia told her.
She then looked at Nico.
"I didn't see the pink haired girl, but I did see the cat." she said, "I saw him pass by while we were going through Sinful Coast."
"Sinful Coast? Isn't that a dangerous place to be?" Riku asked.
"Yeah. It has some of the cruelest, most powerful demons there." said Nagisa, "Weak demons won't last long. And it's much worse for an angel who's caught there."
"Then we better hurry to Sinful Coast then!" Nico said, "Coden's in danger!"
"Forget him! Going in there is SUICIDE!" Morishige said.
"Nonsense!" Gundham said, "My army has some of the greatest warriors in all the Netherworld! Anyone who tries to stand in our way will be served a cold dish of punishment!"
"Gundham's right." said Nico, "The only one who might die from this is you, Morishige."
"Son of a BITCH!" Morishige screamed.
Nico then summoned Seiko and Maya to him.
"Yes, Lord Nico?" they said in unison.
"I need you two to use a quick-travel spell and send us to Sinful Coast." Nico told the mages.
"Leave it to me, Lord Nico!" Maya said.
"No, I can handle it." Seiko said.
The two mages began to glare at each other.
"We don't have time for this!" Nico said, "Just cast the spell."
"Yes, Lord Nico." the mages said in unison.
Nico and his vassals gathered around the two mages.
"Good luck, Nico." Asahina said as she waved.
"Thanks, Asahina." Nico said before they teleported away.
Coden had his hood up, hoping that would buy him some time before any demons take notice of him.
'Where are you, Lady Chiaki...?' he thought as he looked around.
As he moved on, he felt a presence and knew he was being followed.
"You look lost." said a voice from behind him, "A Celestial being like you has no business here."
Coden turned around and saw a middle age demon who can only be described as "Sexy and Dangerous." Coden was a little intimidated, but tried keep his composure.
"I apologize..." Coden said, "I'll be on my way..."
"Why don't you stay a bit?" the demon said while cracking his knuckles, "You see, Sinful Coast is run by Ace, which is yours truly. We give all visitors the hospitality they deserve."
"No, thank you." The cloaked lynx said, "I need to get going..."
"Oh, you're not going anywhere." Ace said as he tried to punch the cat, who instantly disappeared. As Ace looked around in confusion, he heard a voice from behind him.
"I'm giving you this chance to back away." said the voice.
Ace turned around and saw Coden.
"Well, you're either very brave, or very stupid, kid." Ace told him, "If I were you, I would have use that disappearing trick to escape."
Ace then let out another punch, repeating the event from before.
"I don't wish to fight you." Coden said.
"I wouldn't want to fight me, neither." Ace told him.
He let out yet another punch. This time, Coden just jump and landed on Ace's head.
"Why, you little...!" Ace said. He tried to grab the cat, but he quickly jumped away.
"Woe to you, creature of darkness." Coden said, as if possessed, "I show you mercy, and you didn't accept it. Now you'll receive... Divine Punishment."
Holy aura surrounded Coden as a heavenly scythe appeared in his paw.
"Bring it." Ace said as he readied his fists.
To be continued...
I got to say, I always laughed every time Nico made that joke, which is why it's going to appear a lot (And the main reason Nekomaru's in this story.) Don't worry. I'll try to limit the amount of times I use it so it doesn't get old or annoying. Some chapters won't even have the joke. Also, if you're still wondering why Mean Dino's "boom-boom" literally goes boom-boom when he eats Morrishige, it'll be explained in a later chapter.
