A/N: It has been a year since we last heard from the Code Geese crew, and in that time, much has happened. Fake people have revealed themselves and will now be mocked. The Halloween special awaits like usual, but for now, let's resume our mockery with some new characters we did not yet mock, such as Chiba and some minor characters like Alice and Nemo. I can't believe I didn't include them before. Plus, Dingo apologizes for being weird, Lucia and Neddy finally reunite after more than a dozen chapters if separation, and Cornelius contemplates keeping Angriest and Guilty Face around. Once again, we have a two parter special. Will the two parter actually continue? Who knows.
Edits of the fic's early chapters will resume.
Chapter 43: Happy Harvesting of Stupidity (part 1)
A young woman sat in her chair, watching Lucia and her friends through a spyglass, which was quite cracked and had a hole in the middle. Throughout her adventures, Lucia had conveniently left out someone who was a very important friend to Pierogi and Tambourine. Her name was Chibi Nagareboshi, and her rise would be meteoric.
Unfortunately, her dreams had come plummeting down to Earth when Lucia had dared to choose everyone else except her to join the Serial Bites. Lucia had dared to call her a starstruck idiot who did nothing but fly high. This angered her and her alien friends. Yes, she had alien friends, who had made sure she was not alienated in her time of need. They preferred to be called ExtraCelestials, because they loved adding extra ships and stars to the night sky. They flew in Unifos, or uniformed flying objects.
Somehow, people had mispronounced the name over time. But they spoke to her and gave her wisdom and guidance. Unfortunately, no one seemed to be able to see them because they could cloak themselves when necessary. One was called Neato and the girl called Malice seemed to be after her all the time.
"I want to hunt the Neato before it gets Nunnery!" She cried.
"Unfortunately, I know of no one by that name. There is, however, a Neddy, if you are looking for him." She said, annoyed by how persistent Malice was at interfering with her plans, albeit maliciously. Was this petty evil, or…simply a thorn in the side?
Malice pushed aside some cactuses that had been grown on Chibi's window, and in turn, they spilled onto some magnetic letters that were on her fridge, knocking them down so they broke. The letters "E" and "U" were now destroyed.
"No! Not my beloved E! How am I supposed to send messages to the aliens now?" She howled, cradling the remains of her letters in her arms, while Malice watched on in confusion.
Suddenly, a female version of Moo appeared and gave Chibi some drugs that would give her visions of her past life. "Join the Geese order."
Geese honked behind her and made themselves look intimidating.
"You dare bring geese in here! I'm the one who suggested we use ducks instead! Your geese can control minds!"
The geese honked evilly and their eyes shone wickedly.
"Indeed, but using the power of Chocolate Chip, we can bring an end to the Serial Bites once and for all. I can eliminate my male counterpart and become the true star of the show."
"Hello! Notice me! This apartment is mine!" Chibi shouted.
The geese pecked at her while she screamed.
"Dude, no one even likes you as a character. They like me best." Malice said.
As if to prove a point, Charisma's voice could be heard shouting, "WHO ARE YOU?"
"Also, that's not See-Through's real name. She bullshitted you." Malice grinned maliciously.
"NOOO! She tricked me! I should have seen this coming!" The female version of Moo screeched.
Suddenly, she started to melt. "I'm dripping, I'm dripping!"
"And on my carpet, too." Malice cleaned up the goo that was once Moo.
"This is my apartment! Give my screentime back!" Chibi shouted, but she was chased out the window by the geese, who were now worshipping Malice.
She was their master now.
"I came from the parallel universe, so I need to hunt Cheerio." She said, looking determined like usual, until she knocked her can of soda over.
"No! Not my soda!" She cried.
The soda fell down and was promptly carried off by ants.
"Hopefully, there's logic to be found here, somewhere." She mumbled.
At that moment, the geese flew out the window and returned with a plastic golden egg.
"Just my luck." She grumbled.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles, but actually only a few city blocks away…
Fall had come to Briticism again and to Arena 11. Leaves were falling off the trees and the trees were suing for abandonment and pollution, while the litter bugs tossed leaves into the trash and the students of Ashtray were commissioned with sweeping the leaves off their feet and throwing them into recycling bags.
Pumpkins had returned, however, the current ruler, Clover, had not been quite as determined on embracing holidays as Charisma had been, so she mostly wasted time by giving speeches about herself to herself, with the microphone switched off and with her sitting in her bed.
People had taken to calling her "Clover Hooves", since she liked riding horses around and especially enjoyed annoying the denizens who owned cobblestone streets by clopping up and down them day and night.
A few costumed folks were gathered in a diner, refusing to eat anything and annoying the patrons.
Relentless and her crew were dressed as snakes and the Devil.
"Enough! You aren't patronizing our establishment, you are being patronizing by insulting our time! You aren't patrons but poltroons! Out!" Cueball shouted, brandishing a pool stick and chasing the costumers outside.
"How dare he do that to us! We are honored members!" Relentless Stalker shouted.
"Yeah, we have history there!" A second one said.
"It's too early for Halloween, you stooges! Maybe try next month?" A random heckler said.
"You're mocking pumpkins by wearing them! It's squashing their hearts!" A person in a corn costume shouted.
"Maybe if people didn't hate me, I wouldn't say this, but Halloween sucks!" The third, dressed in a scarecrow costume yelped.
"You dare hate on Halloween?" Neddy Briticism yelled, wheeling his way over and dunking the third in water and stuffing a caramel apple in his mouth, "As one of the royal Princes, I will make sure those who insult autumn and Halloween pay! Cheerio, come join me in forming a new shopping zone dedicated to Halloween!"
"Who are you talking to?" Relentless said, but Neddy hit her with a cauldron, which landed on her head, and sent her tumbling into a mud puddle.
A small crowd had formed around the holiday haters.
"How dare you hate on Halloween!"
"It's worse because the Elvens made it more successful!" The scarecrow man whined.
He was stripped of his costume.
It was the former ruler, Calories.
"Dude, things are better with the Elvens around." A disgusted Mince said.
"Who agrees to bring out the torture devices?"
Relentless yelped as she was shackled and put into a pillory where a caricature of Charisma was made.
Her friends were put in some, too, but the Halloween hater was forced to carry corn in his costume and have crows peck at him.
"Taste some lemonade!"
Lemonade was thrown on her hair, smearing her makeup.
"Isn't that out of season?" Portfolio complained.
Pumpkins were catapulted at him.
"Neddy, you must not attack civilians. What caused you to do such an atrocious act?" Cornelis asked.
"He insulted the Elvens and Halloween."
"That's justified. Elvens suck."
"The beliefs we have been taught are wrong!" Neddy cried.
"Perhaps you are right. For now, however, you will be forced to pick up leaves with Portfolio. He will sweep and you will collect them by hand."
"That creepy paper obsessed guy?"
"That insane Halloween obsessed guy?"
The two of them glared as Portfolio wheeled Neddy down the street.
"I wish you weren't pushing my chair."
"I wish you weren't so entitled."
"At least I haven't wasted printer paper."
"At least I can walk over to it. Shit, I'm sorry, that was unnecessary."
Neddy slapped Portfolio. "Stop insulting me. You don't even know me."
"You're right. I was being childish. Hey, how about we try to get along and understand each other?"
Portfolio was sweeping leaves into a pile.
Neddy sighed. "Fall into a leaf pile, asshole."
Stacks of paper fell on him from somewhere.
"I guess I'm too transparent."
"Keep raking, Portfolio!" Mince shouted.
"Wait, you know I'm royalty!" Neddy cried.
"So? You're still gonna be part of our group." Mince said.
He handed him an invite written in Braille to the Halloween party.
"Has anyone seen Shiny?"
Shiny appeared, dressed in a leaf costume. "I'm a shining beacon of hope!"
"The lights are dull." Mince remarked.
"Looks like I win again!" Sparkly chimed in, wearing a nice light up costume, until she fell in a leaf pile.
"Shut up." Portfolio said.
"Congratulations on owning her!" Everyone cheered.
Sparkly was far too arrogant.
"Hey, dear, let's get ready to challenge the gods." Marinara said from his pool table he was possessing.
"Excellent. We can prepare during Halloween." Charisma said enthusiastically.
A bolt of lightning struck them both and knocked the power out.
"I think I have carpet burn." Marinara said.
"Oh great, now we're gonna have to repossess you to get you another table."
"True, I don't wanna stink." Marinara said.
A leg on the table caught fire.
"AAAAAAAH!" He screamed.
Marinara put water on it.
"Now I'm gonna attract mold!"
"Stop your splintering!"
"Maybe I could if you stopped destroying my tables!"
"That's enough!"
She hurled the table out.
"Ouch, that hurt."
"I have a better idea. How about you possess a chair?"
"As long as it's not a folding chair."
"I still love you, anyway." Charisma said sweetly.
Marinara shuddered. He needed to leave her.
