Disclaimer: I don't own Skullgirls or any of the characters. Please enjoy, and leave a comment.
After parting ways with the Phantom Cat Burglar, Orlando continue to explore New Meridian. As he walk he decided to put his shades on to keep the sun out of his eyes. Then something caught his eye.
"Hey that looks like…" he saw a women with long red hair that look very familiar as he removed his shades, putting them back on his hat.
"Now I remember, that's Princess Parsoul. She has grown quiet a bit I tell ya." he looked at her body every inch and he 100% approved. He left and knowing that the princes is burning hot.
"Freeze!" Orlando turn around to see the princess pointing a gun at him.
"Isn't it rude to point a gun at someone's face madam?" he said to her.
"Why were you spying on me?" she asked calmly.
"Spying? Baby girl, if I was spying on you I would keep myself hidden much better to not let anyone see me. And I was not spying, I was sight seeing. The kingdom has changed in the last 13 years while I was gone." he said in his defense.
"Well I don't believe such trickery." still pointing the gun at him. He just chuckled, even if he had a gun in his face.
"Alright, if it's a dance you want princess then let hit the dance floor." Orlando did a back flip away from the princess.
"I won't bite… hard that is." he grinned. Then there was a little girl with an umbrella on the side walk waving her hand.
"Kick his butt sis!" the little girl yelled.
"Umbrella, I told you to stay far from here!" she yelled at the little girl.
"You never let me have any fun." she pouted.
"Well this a surprise. I didn't know you had a little sister." he seemed to be amused.
"Leave her out of this!" she glare at the teen.
"Whoa, ok, ok easy there I won't go near her." he waved his hands in defense.
"Now then, shale we dance my dear princess?" he grinned at the red head.
"You'll get to dance once I put you in a cell." she glared.
(My choice: Final Fantasy XII Battle Theme or any battle theme of your choice)
"Surrender peacefully or I will have to use force!" she got into a fighting stance.
"Can't we just sit down have a little talk. We can enjoy ourselves with some tea." he offered still grinning.
She kept a stare and went too strike with her specially made umbrella, but Orlando just simple dodged her attack.
"I guess they don't call you parasol for nothing. Using a umbrella as a weapon seem something you would think of princess." he kept dodging her attacks as she took a fencing stance and tried to hit him.
'Just a little further and he will be in pension.' she thought as she continued.
'She seems to be leading me into a trap.' he just smile.
'Lets see what you got girl.' he talked to himself. When he was right where she wanted him she took out a walkie-talkie.
"Number 13 take the shot!" then out of nowhere there was a sound of gun fire and it was sent straight right where Orlando was standing. It made contact with a explosion. "That should do it."
"Think again girly." She was shocked to see that the shot did no damage at all.
"Sorry your highness, but its gonna take more then just a gun shot to take me down." he pulled out his guns and pointed them at her.
"Trigger Happy!" he began to shoot a borage of bullets her way.
Parsoul manage to dodge most of the bullets till one got her in the leg. She was about to hit the ground till a Egrets member caught her just in time.
"YOU MONSTER!" he yelled at Orlando.
"Hey! She attack first! I have to defend myself or I might be in a world of pain!" Orlando defended himself.
"I'll be alright now go." the member left and she took her stance again. "Lets finish where we left of."
"Indeed my dear." he ran straight to her and when he was close
"Lets Get Crazy!" he then got on his hands and spin at a fast rate.
"Lighting Tornado!" he made a small tornado with spark and it was heading in Parsoul's direction. She tried to retreat, but she got caught in the vortex. Multiple kicks and being shock by the sparks cause her pain.
"Shocking Beat Down!" getting back on his feet he then launched his sparking punch sending the princess straight into a near by tell phone pole.
"Had enough your highness?" he asked as she slowly getting up then she yelled out.
"Egrets Move Out!" then a bunch of Egret members came on motorcycles and charged at Orlando. He screamed as he was crush by the charge. He was now flat and pressed on to the road. As he was pulling his head out it seems that he was completely flat.
"Look ma, I'm road kill! HAHAHA!" he laugh and got back onto his feet. He then put his thumb in his mouth and blew some air in and with a pop he was back to normal.
"Man, that was a new experience." he said looking to make sure he wasn't flat anywhere.
"How can you survive all this? Taking a shot from behind and being squished by bikes?" she questioned.
"Its, because I went through a whole lot more pain then you can ever imagine." he said with a frown then he looked at her.
"Come on red, let finish this dance."
"Lets." she shot multiple napalm shots from her umbrella that surrounded Orlando.
"Number 13!" she yelled in her walkie-talkie for another shot. Orlando saw this coming and to her shock he caught it. The bullet with between his teeth, but it exploded causing the napalms to created a bigger blast.
"Charge!" she shout as the bikes came back and slam him into a wall.
"Now, lets finish this."
"Ok, that hurt a bit." Orlando pulled himself out of the wall.
"Egrets! Fire!" she open her umbrella while holding her gun and some Egrets behind her with machine guns. Then they all took fire shooting a borage of shots at Orlando. The Egrets leaving there princess, but as the smoked cleared she was shocked.
"How!?" Orlando stood there with a grin as smoke was coming off his cloths.
"Gotta say, that hurt, but its got nothing on me. My cloths were made to handle bullets, fire, water, electric, and explosions, but it won't protect me from the pain." she was frozen in place.
"Now, its time." he punched the ground and then his fist uppercut her into the air from the ground. "Its Happy Hour!" he then got his guns and began to shoot upwards, hitting Parsoul as she came down. Then as she was close to the ground, "Lighting Festival!" then Orlando hit her with a bunch of extended punches and kicks. With each hit she got shocked by the electric that came out of it.
"Medic." she fainted.
"I salute to the hot and sexy!" he salute his defeated foe.
As Orlando was making his way to Parsoul someone blocked his path.
"You stay away from my sister!" little Umbrella said protecting her older sister. He looked down at the little girls eyes. She was serious, though they look like they fight a lot, but its seems that they love each other no matter what.
He smiled.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt her." he bent down and patted her head. As she was about to say something he cut her off.
"Trust me. I want to help you sister. She is a princess of coarse." it took a few seconds till she moved out of the away. He walked to the fallen red head and took out a small bottle filled with a green fluid. He then tried to get Parsoul to drink it, but it seems she couldn't.
'Well…..guess I have to do this the straight forward way.' he then drinked the fluid and did what seems to be the most daring. He then put his lips to hers to help her drink. Umbrella was blushing and turned away from what was happening. When Orlando removed his lips he was then hit on the head.
"WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?!" she yelled at him
"Hey! She was too weak to drink by herself so I had to help her drink it!" he yelled back.
"Freeze!" Orlando was then surrounded by armed Egret soldiers.
"Ready, Aim, Fi…."
"Stand down men!" the princess was now awake struggling to get up.
"but"
"That's an order." they stand down as she was having trouble getting up till a hand was offered to her. She looked up to a smiling Orlando.
" I think it would be the most gentlemen like if I offered you a hand." he said still smiling. The princess looked at the teen till she finally took his hand allowing him to pull her up.
" Your welcome."
" Please forgive me. I thought you where a spy of a invading country or a criminal by the way you were dressed." she explained.
" Its alright, but I did enjoy the work out. Your pretty good, beside your beauty." he complemented making the older princess blush.
"Its nothing, I learned how to defend myself to protect the kingdom and my sister." Parsoul said look at her little sister.
"I can take care of myself sis!" the little girl boasted.
" Right, and by the way how did you learn how to fight like that?" she asked.
" Well if you missed the lo-go on my hat you would know my dear." he pointed at his hat. As she looked she finally understood.
"Oh, I never knew you were a member of Lab 8. My apologies really." she felt ashamed.
" It no big deal your highness." he said
"Please, just call me Parasoul." she said with a smile.
"You sure?"
"Yes, its fine." he smiled at her.
"Well, it is a great and a wonderful pleasure Parasoul. I'm Orlando Pomeroy, Lab 8's Ultimate Weapon." he took her hand and kissed it. She blushed at his actions and then she was surprised.
"Ultimate Weapon? I never heard of that project." she was confused.
" It's a long story. And what's your name?" he kneeled down and smiled at the little Renoir.
"Its Umbrella, and don't you dare forget it." she said with pride.
" Umbrella be nice." her sister scolded.
"It alright, why don't we discuses this with some ice cream." Once Orlando said that Umbrella's eye's lit up.
"Yeah! Ice Cream." she jumped with joy.
He looked at Parasoul with a grin. "Guess I said the magic word."
"More like the doomsday word." she groaned as he laughed. They went for ice cream at the nearest store. Umbrella got birthday mix, Parasoul got strawberry, and Orlando got vanilla, snicker, Reese's, cookies & cream, birthday mix, and mint in that order. The sisters look at him like he was crazy.
" I know what your thinking. And yes, yes I am." with a flick of his wrist the scoop of mint went in to his mouth. He chewed and swallowed. Then as they ate their ice cream Orlando explained his story and the Renoir sisters listen to every word.
"They have no right to be called parents if they were to do that to their own child." Parasoul said angered.
" Its ok really. So yeah I'm a part of Lab 8 and after 13 years of being frozen I let myself out and took a look around while also keeping a look out for the Skullgirl." He explained finishing his last scoop.
" Well if you ever need any back up I'll be happy to lend a hand." Parasoul said with a smile.
"I aspirate it thanks." he kneeled to Umbrella's level.
"I'll see you around little Umbrella. Be good for you sister ok."
"Ok, bye! Lets go for ice cream again!" she waved good bye as Orlando left. And when he was gone Parasoul put her right hand to her lips. She started to blush because she remember what happen when Orlando help her after he beat her. Umbrella grinned maliciously at her sister.
"So, did you enjoyed it?" Her sister panic and blush madly.
"I have no idea what your talking about!" her sister turned away still blushing.
"Right, naughty sister." she snickered.
"I am not!" Parasoul yelled out of her great embarrassment.
Hoped you enjoyed my fight against Parasoul, but there's more fights ahead. SparkFlames Out.
