Beyond Grim And Evil Installment 1: So It Begins
(A/N: I'm not sure how many chapters will be posted today, or how many oneshots if any. We'll see how it goes.)
War Of Mine (Morning)
Be the ultimate warrior of the mine.
"All right, ya ready for dis?" Grim asked.
"Are you sure this mine is safe to fight in?" Nergal questioned, looking around cautiously.
"It's fine," Grim stated, frowning at Nergal. "Who cares anyway? We're just practicin' our fighting mon."
"Well I'm ready. You'll never know what hit you," Eris stated.
"I don't like mixin' business with pleasure, but I'm really gonna enjoy dis," Grim truthfully said, for once no double meanings present.
"We're going to have so much friendly fun," Nergal said, smirking.
"May the best god, immortal cough Nergal, or goddess, win," Grim said.
"By best you mean most emotionally stable at the time," Nergal remarked, ignoring the dig.
"Don't be nit-picky darling, it's not like one of us will always be better than the other two," Eris said. "Right Grimmy?"
"Yeah, yeah. Let's reap!" Grim insisted.
"Like, totally excellent choice. Let the Grim Adventures of Nergal and Eris begin," Eris said.
"Time to share the hurt!" Nergal replied, laughing evilly. All at once the three raced at each other, clashing instantly.
Grim attacked with his scythe at the same time Nergal shot out his tentacles and Eris attacked with her apple. All three scrambled viciously around each other, attacking at every possible opportunity. Eris finally pulled away from Grim and Nergal and attacked with a heavy attack! Grim and Nergal went flying, Nergal into the lava, Grim into the goop. Nergal yelped in pain, leaping back to land, then scowled at her. Grim groaned, falling to the ground. Eris' victorious grin fell to worry. The boys weren't about to be pushed around.
Grim and Nergal ran at her together. She cried out in alarm and fought back. Soon enough, though, she was forced to pull away and run. She turned back from a safe distance, frowning with displeasure. "Sorry darling, but Aunt Sis is the only woman for me," Nergal taunted.
"Dat's de last time you turn me down for a date!" Grim shot. Nergal looked blankly at him. Grim bit his tongue, grinned nervously, then innocently shrugged. "Uh, ya weren't supposed to hear dat mon."
"Uh huh," Nergal replied slowly. Grim suddenly attacked with a series of light attacks, knocking Nergal down. Nergal, though, quickly recovered, rolling backwards, then leapt at him, striking viciously. Grim gasped in alarm, prepared for impact. Just then, though, Eris leapt into the air and came down hard on Nergal, sending him flying. Grim grinned cruelly, exchanging glances with Eris. Instantly the two rushed Nergal. Nergal leapt up with a cry of alarm and tried to attack, but they were too quick.
"I don't even like to touch you to hit you," Eris insulted as they fought.
"Eat scythe, fool!" Grim boasted. He then burst into laughter. Nergal desperately retreated away to regain his bearings.
Eris took the opportunity to slowly back away to a recovering Nergal. Nergal tensed up, anticipating an attack. She pointed at Grim, though, and Nergal caught on, grinning cruelly. Instantly the two rushed the reaper. Grim heard too late. He barely had time to turn before they were on him like dogs on a carcass! Grim cried out in pain as they ripped into him.
"Grim, darling, you really ought to work out more. You're all bone," Eris said.
"The kids will be my friends now Grim," Nergal evilly remarked.
All at once, however, the two were sent flying by Grim, who had quickly recovered. Nergal, though, was back in the game. He targeted Eris and ran at her. Eris cried out in alarm. All of a sudden Grim raced in front of her and struck quickly, knocking Nergal down. "Good show Grim," Eris complimented.
"T'anks," Grim replied. Not good enough, apparently, for Nergal suddenly struck them both, sending them flying. Grim cried out in terror as he fell over the edge and down the lavafall. Eris was winded from hitting the metal elevator.
Grim suddenly appeared again. This time, though, he leapt up to the higher ground by the elevator and went for Eris. Eris frowned and attacked back, sending him flying into Nergal, who had just leapt up on the ledge to help Grim gang up on her. Both fell from the high ground and landed on top of each other with cries of pain. Groaning they recovered then looked blankly at each other. Well, this position was awkward. Eris suddenly leapt down onto the pile, crushing them again. She laughed as she rolled off of her two new allies.
"Oh you think that's funny do you!" Nergal demanded from the bottom.
"Come on Nergal mon, let's teach dis goddess a lesson she ain't gonna forget," Grim stated.
Eris leapt up, eyes dancing with laughter and fun. "Bring it on boys." They did. She suddenly flew away then shot towards them like and arrow, knocking them down. "Girls rule."
She wasn't saying that for long, for just then Nergal shot up his tentacles, snatching her from the air. She choked off. He thrust her into Grim, who caught her by her arms. "Not so high and mighty now, are ya Eris?" Grim said into her ear.
"Ooh, Grim, how delectably seductive," Eris flirted. Grim blinked, taken aback.
"Tickle, tickle," Nergal teased suddenly, tickling her with his tentacles and saving Grim from her wiles. She burst into laughter. He took the opportunity to strike, though. He shocked her and Grim both, sending them flying back onto the ground. Grim broke her fall, luckily enough. Not so lucky for Grim, for the next moment Eris had turned on him with a playful glint. Just as she was about to finish him, however, Nergal stepped in prevailing over them both.
He laughed. Mistake. Eris, having recovered quickly, decked him hard, stunning him right back. Grim laughed then attacked her. She cried out in pain as she was forced to run. As they all recovered, Grim stated, "Let's finish dis."
"I couldn't agree more," Nergal agreed.
"Hi yah!" Eris exclaimed, suddenly turning on Nergal. Nergal cried out in alarm. Grim quickly joined Eris, however, and soon enough Nergal was dazed.
"Eris, you can do de honours," Grim offered, sweeping his hand towards Nergal.
"Thank you," Eris replied curtly. She quickly finished Nergal off. Nergal groaned as he struggled to get up. He was done. Now who would win this? He greatly wondered.
Grim attacked Eris the moment she had finished with Nergal. She met the attack furiously, and for a long while the two exchanged blows. All at once both attacked with a heavy attack at the same time, and both went flying. Grim hit the wall as Eris toppled over the edge with a scream! Grim leapt for the ledge with a gasp, and looked down. She was clambering back up! She'd caught the rocks! Immortals she was hard to destroy. He seized her arm and pulled her from the cliff, dangling her over the edge.
"You wouldn't dare!" Eris challenged.
"Try me," Grim replied.
"Oh please, love, have mercy," Eris begged, giving him puppy dog eyes. It worked every time, so she thought. Imagine her surprise when it didn't this time.
"Sorry me sweet lover, but ya've got ta go," Grim retorted. Her faked fear faded to shock. He dropped her, laughing. Managing to find her way back to the battle parameter, she dizzily wavered. He smiled at her then dashed, quickly finishing her off. She fell with a cry of pain, then staggered up. Grim helped her as Nergal joined them.
"Bravo Grim!" Nergal said.
"You win this round bonehead, but next time you're mine," Eris pouted.
"Not if I beat you to it," Nergal said.
"We'll just have ta see," Grim stated. "Good fight. Now let's go incite a riot at de big game!"
"Now you're talking my language!" Eris excitedly said, almost like a little girl.
"Oh this will be amusing," Nergal said, instantly dashing for the elevator and holding it open for the other too.
"Nergal, you do the honours," Eris said as the doors closed on them all.
"With pleasure," Nergal replied. He closed his eyes, and his tentacles began to glow. As the elevator doors were shutting, Grim and Eris saw the lava rising to the fire gods command. All at once they shot from the volcano like a cork from a bottle! Eris opened the elevator with her powers, and Grim cut a portal. The three jumped in just as the elevator crashed down on the rocks.
