Chapter Three – Rising Action
"I'm sorry that I may have done a lot of wrong things to you when we were living altogether... I'm sorry for being so denial to you... And I also scolded you a lot... I'm such a burden to you..."
"No! You didn't do anything wrong to me! In fact, you're the one who have taken care of me and always make me happy! I can't live without you...!"
"That's the same for you to me... I will always remember the years that we have spent altogether... And I will appreciate it forever..."
"No, don't talk anymore! I'm taking you to the hospital!"
"No need for that... I'm beyond healing now... I'm sorry..."
"Don't talk as if you're going to die! Please, don't die on me! Open your eyes!"
"I love you... Usagi-san."
...
"NO!" screamed Akihiko, as he had woken up from slumber.
He looked around, and then slowly raised his body to a sitting position on his bed, while caressing his forehead.
"Shit, that dream again..."
He then heard a knock at the door of his room. Akihiko left his bed and opened the door.
"What's with the sudden scream? Are you okay?" asked a sleepy Hiroki, who were standing in front of the door.
"Oh Hiroki, I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep, I just had a bad dream..."
"Hmm? It's really unlike you to have a bad dream. What did you just dreamt about?"
Akihiko took his breath for a while, then he replied,
"The worst day of my life."
...
The next day, in the afternoon...
"Hey Shinobu-chin, I have something to tell you..."
"What is it, Miyagi?"
"I am actually an artificial demon and a weapon. My creator, who is scientist, is a fan of Soul Eater, so he created me."
"What!? So do you have any special abilities?"
"I can transform into any type of weapon, but my strongest form is a scythe."
"That's cool. I really love scythes, and they really suit me as a grim reaper."
"I hope he like scythes more than cabbages..." thought Miyagi.
"So, would you mind me helping you to be a final boss by being your weapon? Let's defeat the heroes altogether..."
Shinobu blushed, then he quickly turned away from Miyagi. "Idiot! I can take care of them myself!"
Miyagi chuckled. His hand reached Shinobu's hair and stroked it. "You're so cute."
"Hey everyone, look at this!" said Hiroki, holding a newspaper.
Akihiko, Nowaki, Miyagi and Shinobu approached Hiroki and looked at the newspaper that he was holding. They were shocked at the news appeared at the front page.
- The Magnificent, yet Invicible Task Force had Destroyed the Prinnies and Executed Some Rebelling Prinny Instructors Successfully. -
"Dammit! This news is a total lie! Except Nowaki, We all are not dead! Especially by the pathetic task force's hands!" Hiroki slammed the newspaper on the ground.
"It's hard to believe that the Information Bureau would make such a lie. They pride themselves on reporting the facts." said Miyagi.
"The corrupternment must be using the Information Bureau to alter facts to their advantage. So now we all should bring them under our control to weaken the corrupternment since it uses the Bureau to control and regulate the flow of information." said Akihiko.
"Sounds interesting..." said Shinobu.
"They've got intense security and besides the staff, only the highest officials are allowed to enter. So if we all able to bring them under our control, then we all will be legends..." said Miyagi confidently.
"It's time to test our power and kick some ass and show to the corrupternment who's the boss..." said Hiroki, putting on his battle gloves.
"Hiro-san, it seems that you are excited for this!" said Nowaki.
"Of course I am! And one more thing, Nowaki, it's the chance for you to show the fruits of your trainings..."
With each of their determination in mind, the new party's very first operation was under way.
...
The Netherworld...
A world supported by fear energy that is harvested from the Human World.
The demons here obey only one thing...
Power.
They are divided into different areas, depending on their own personal power.
Akihiko and his party's first destination lie in the lowest level of the Netherworld.
It's an area inhabited by demonic weaklings, and lowly peons.
Even though Akihiko formerly was the one to take control over everything in the Netherworld, during in his Golden Age as the Tyrant.
...
And so, as time passed by each seconds, Akihiko and his party arrived at the Information Bureau, which is situated at the middle of a dessert.
"So this is it... I heard they went through quite a transformation since the last time I've been here, but I didn't expect this." said Akihiko.
"Its appearance isn't the only thing. They have the most advanced security system." said Hiroki.
"I heard that no matter how big or strong a demon is, no one was able to break through its security. Have you heard of the Angel of Avarice? He can't even get through here," added Miyagi.
"Angel of Avarice? Who is that?" asked Nowaki.
"It's a name that was given to a thief who apparently is an angel that steals from major banks, wealthy families and lots more," said Akihiko.
"How could an angel become a thief?" asked Nowaki once again in disbelief.
"The Human World is definitely on the verge of its final corruption. Celestia must be going broke since few humans have faith these days," replied Hiroki.
Then, they walked further into the Information Bureau while figuring in their heads how to break through it.
As they were walking, Nowaki saw a suspicious-looking Prinny, who was apparently sneaking to the Information Bureau.
"Huh? Are you a Prinny?" asked Nowaki.
The suspicious-looking Prinny gasped.
"...Y-yes, I sure am. I-I mean, yep, dood. I'm on the staff here, dood. So, please excuse me now, dood."
Nowaki continued on walking, while the suspicious-looking Prinny hastily left.
...
"Halt! You guys look rather suspicious! How did you get inside the building!?" said some demons who were guarding the Information Bureau.
"We came here to complain about an article you bastards wrote," said Akihiko.
"You just reported us dead! Fix it immediately!" raged Hiroki.
"Our orders are to eliminate any suspicious individual on sight! Everyone, get in position!" said one of the demons, preparing for battle.
"It's looks like they have no intention of listening to what we have to say. So we all also need to get ready for this." said Akihiko.
*ACTIVATE RPG-STYLE BATTLE MODE! *
And thus, Akihiko and his party effortlessly defeated the demons on guard of the Information Bureau.
"Urgh...! They're strong!" said the demons, groaning in pain.
"Shall we continue? Let's fight until we can come to terms. I can go all night if we have to," said Akihiko, giving out comical dark auras in the demons eyes.
"...Well, see you! We have to go report you to our higher-ups!" said the demons, quickly fled from their sight.
"Tch, what a bunch of weaklings," said Hiroki.
Nevertheless, Akihiko and his party proceed inside the Information Bureau successfully after defeated the guards.
Suddenly, the guards who were recently defeated but this time they were with some more demons.
"There they are! Intruders!"
* ACTIVATE RPG-STYLE BATTLE MODE! * ...Again.
Okay, so! To ease the pain of writing this fanfic by typing "*ACTIVATE RPG-STYLE BATTLE MODE! *" over and over (you readers must've feel tired of reading them over and over too), let's just say that Akihiko and party defeated them and ascended to the higher floors by elevator, then they defeated the security systems in each floor successfully, until they all had reached the top of the Information Bureau, which is to confront the Chief of the Bureau.
Meanwhile, while Akihiko and his party broke the security systems, this had given the suspicious-looking Prinny that Nowaki had met earlier to sneak further into the Information Bureau...
...
"Oh, how could this have happened...? It's looks like we need to look over our security system again," said a woman with glasses on the top floor of the Information Bureau.
"Are you the Chief? I'm bringing this Bureau under our party's control," said Akihiko boldly.
"How dare you report us dead!" screamed Hiroki.
"So, you all are the rebelling Prinny Instructors? I'm sorry. We printed the article about your deaths under orders of the corrupternment. We can't retract it, even if you wish us to," said the Chief.
"So you want to pick a fight here? I'm always ready," said Akihiko, preparing to battle.
"I won't holding back either," said the Chief.
*ACTIVATE RPG-STYLE BATTLE MODE!* (The last one in this chapter~! :D)
"I, the Chief of the Information Bureau lost...? I will never admit that fact!" said the Chief, kneeling after being defeated.
"I control every bit of information! Therefore, if I don't acknowledge that I lost, then it means that I didn't lose!"
Silence overtook the party. A huge sweat dropped at each of their heads.
But still, it doesn't change the fact that Akihiko and his party managed to take control of the Information Bureau by defeating the Chief.
"I'm going to report this to the President! I'll make sure that-" said the Chief, attempting to flee but failed...
"Hold it right there! ...Dood." said a voice.
The suspicious-looking Prinny from earlier suddenly appeared out of blue, pointing a gun to the Chief, which caused her to shiver with fear.
"Before you do that, you must do something for me first. I need you to hand me 1,192,296 HL now! Uh, dood." said the suspicious-looking Prinny uncertainly.
"That awkwardly placed "dood"... You're not a real Prinny, are you?" asked Miyagi.
The suspicious-looking Prinny shocked. "Of course I am! I am surely a Prinny, right?! ...Dood!"
"You can't fool experienced Prinny Instructors like us!" added Hiroki.
"Just show your true self. We know that you are in disguise right now," demanded Akihiko.
"Tch. Looks like my cover has been blown," said the suspicious-looking Prinny before he shone in a bright light and transformed.
"Did he just do an anime transformation sequence, like in Sailor Moon or Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha?" asked Akihiko.
"Undeniably he is, and I wonder why everytime someone transformed, he or she will shine in a very bright light? It hurts my eyes!" answered Miyagi, while his one of his arms covered his eyes.
Akihiko replied, "Probably Logic is having a day off."
"Luckily everywhere here is not turning into a sparkly pink background with shoujo bubbles," Akihiko added. "And I hope we will not see him suddenly turns naked when he is still in his transformation sequence."
"So what are we waiting for?! Don't just stand and stare as if transformation is a free action! Let's attack him before he became in his stronger form and defeated us! Didn't you see it in Ultraman?! The villains just let the hero transformed into Ultraman whatever and kicked their asses easily!" scolded Hiroki.
"That's the same for Pokémon too. The opponent Pokémon just stand and stare when a battling Pokémon evolve into its stronger form," said Shinobu.
"No, Hiro-san, we can't! Maybe he is not our enemy?! Or maybe there will be a shocking plot twist happen in this fanfic!" persuaded Nowaki.
As their ridiculous chit-chat discussing about one of the infamous anime gimmicks had done, the suspicious-looking Prinny had done transforming while magically scattering white feathers around.
"Hey, watch it! What if somebody here is allergic to feathers?!" scolded Hiroki, brushing off the feathers that was gathered at his body before he became a giant chicken.
He had transformed into a teen that was dressed in white, and have cotton-white wings extending from his back, indicating that he is angel. Furthermore, the angel has dark brown, shoulder-length hair and a pair of large, glowing emerald eyes.
"Is that... an angel?" asked Nowaki in shock. This is the first time he had seen a real angel in front of his eyes for the rest of his life.
"With those wings, yes. He's not just an angel, he's the Angel of Avarice, no doubt of it!" said Shinobu.
But, Akihiko was the one who shocked the most after seeing the Angel of Avarice. He couldn't believe his eyes.
The Angel of Avarice pointed his gun at the Chief's head. "Give me the amount of money that I want, or else I'll blow your head off."
"O-okay, fine! Here is it! Take it!" said the Chief, withdrawing some large amount of money to the Angel of Avarice.
"Good," said the Angel of Avarice, taking the money and put them in his bag. He turned to Akihiko and the rest and said, "Thanks to you all, I'm able to sneak in here. Hope that we can meet again next time... See you later."
The Angel of Avarice left them, while the Chief fled away cowardly.
"No... It can't be... This is a lie... This is better be a lie... That angel is definitely not him..." thought Akihiko, kneeled down in shock.
Being as loud as Akihiko could, he screamed.
"MISAKI!"
...
