Bow to the Queen

Protagonist: Astaroth

Genre: Action

Disclaimer: I do not own Taimanin Asagi or any or its characters.

Author's Note: So…this is one of the situations where villains go head to head because one is more superior or something. I dunno, but i have seen a few scenes like that. So, I decided to have this face off with Astaroth and Oboro. In my opinion, Astaroth plays a better villainess than Oboro. I find her more easy to love. Sorry, Oboro fans. XD

A-anyway! Please enjoy!

The Inferno Queen, Astaroth, has never experienced Chaos Arena. She usually spends time in her own home, the lovely mansion filled with her army of succubi. But Asagi's biggest enemy, Oboro, entered and found Astaroth, blaming her for ruining her fun of making Asagi and the rest of the Taimanins her slaves. Astaroth could care less about that. The Inferno Queen is almighty and powerful, wanting to kill anyone in sight with her deadly flames. Oboro claims there should be one baddie here and challenges her to a fight in the Chaos Arena. Astaroth reluctantly accepted this since she has nothing better to do.

And now here she is, at the Chaos Arena, the crowd going wild. However, Oboro isn't going to fight her yet. First off, she is going to soften her up by summoning the big muscular woman, Power Lady. Well, less softening and more crushing to Power Lady at least. Astaroth is quite surprised to see this large human lady.

"Huhuhu~" Astaroth giggles. "Oboro has some interesting back up. She's pretty big and strong. Not gonna lie."

Power Lady grins and flexes her muscles to at least intimidate Astaroth but it doesn't scare the Inferno Queen in the slightest. She may be all muscle, but for Astaroth, fire is power. She isn't going to let brute strength beat her at her own game.

"So, Astaroth, darling~" Oboro says. "I will fight you, but if only you can beat this woman here. Asagi was unable to. So this will be a snap~"

"Huhuhu! You underestimate me, dear Oboro~" Astaroth giggles. "Even if you reduced my powers, it felt like it was just a tiny dose. And also…wearing this little skimpy outfit to battle? My, oh my. You guys are inappropriate~"

Astaroth is wearing a purple negligee with purple thigh high stockings with garter straps attached to a slim garter belt around her waist. She is also wearing a cute bow at the back of her head.

"In this arena, there are no rules except win." Oboro says. "So I chose that outfit for you just in case you lose and will become my slave~"

"Is that all you do around here~?" Astaroth crosses her arms under her bosom. "Make your captives just your slaves?"

"And torture them until they beg for mercy~" Oboro says. "That's how I do it~"

"Ara~" Astaroth flips her hair. "You are so slow. You should be like me where my enemies die at my own hands, torturing them and hearing their cries. That is how I do things~"

"Ugh…! You are giving me a damn headache!" Oboro says. "Alright then! Let's just get this over with!"

The bell chimes, beginning the fight. Power Lady charges at the Inferno Queen like a bulldozer. Astaroth just sits there, waiting for the muscular woman to attack. Then, she sticks her hand out and summons flames to burn the floor where Power Lady is standing. But the muscular woman jumps just before the flames get to her and is about to body slam her. Astaroth puts out both hands and summons a large fireball. She grins an evil grin, having Power Lady be caught off guard. She shoots the fireball and it hits Power Lady, engulfing her in flames. She falls to the floor with a loud thud and she screams while rolling around, trying to get the flames out.

"Huhuhu~" Astaroth giggles. "Scream in agony, human. Let the flames burn you to a crisp~" She floats toward the burning woman. "Consider this my victory already. This is much too easy-Aakghh!"

A large hand reaches out and grabs Astaroth's neck, choking her.

"Think again…!" The woman growls.

Oboro laughs as she enjoys the Inferno Queen struggling to break free. "It seems that YOU underestimated me, Astaroth! This woman will choke the life out of you and then…once you are knocked out, I will have you be my-"

"AAAAAAGGHH! IT BUURRRNS!!!!" Power Lady suddenly screams in agony.

"What the hell!?" Oboro looks over to see Astaroth burning Power Lady's hand by putting her hand on top of hers.

The Inferno Queen's extreme body heat is responsible for this. She lets her body heat up to incredible temperatures, making it as hot as the sun itself. Power Lady's hand burns badly, making her step away and see a large singe on it. Astaroth coughs a little, getting some air back and smiles.

"Nice try, but you can'f finish me that easily~" Astaroth says. She thrusts both hands forward and summons flames to burn the floor once again. And this time, Power Lady doesn't evade and just sits there, being engulfed by the deadly flames of Astaroth. It is then that Power Lady slowly collapses, face down, even when she tried standing up. The heat is literally too much for her. And then, Power Lady can no longer move. Oboro is flustered.

"How the hell…is this possible!?" She shouts. "I enhanced Power Lady and Astaroth manages to beat her!?"

"Huhuhu~" Astaroth giggles. "Are you ready to fight me yourself, you cowardly snake~?"

Oboro grits her teeth and jumps into the arena, having her signature steel claws ready. "I will avenge Power Lady!" She growls.

"You will soon join her~" Astaroth gives a "come hither" gesture.

Oboro charges at full speed, ready to slash her. Astaroth easily evades a couple of her attacks and then shoots out little fireballs at her. Oboro spins around rapidly, having the fireballs disappear when making contact with her blades. She stops and speeds toward Astaroth, catching her off guard. One slash to the right two times and then another downward, hitting Astaroth in the process. Another two slashes and then a spin attack. Astaroth tries to aim her flames at her, but the Traitorous Taimanin is too fast for her. Another set of slashes here and there and then an uppercut to boot. Astaroth is sent flying and Oboro jumps in the air. She performs and downward slash, causing Astaroth to fall hard onto the floor. The crowd goes wild from that awesome attack. Oboro chuckles as she lands on her feet and kicks Astaroth so that she is facing up.

"You sure put up a good fight~" she says. "But you are definitely not strong enough against me. I will be victorious and make you my slave~"

"Huhu…is that all~?" Astaroth chuckles. "I wasn't even trying in the first place~"

"Wha!? You mean you were letting me beat you!?" Oboro says.

The Inferno Queen hoists herself up, having herself levitate slightly off the floor. "Correct. I just wanted to see what you got before I go all out. You are a worthy opponent yourself, dear Oboro. But now all of it goes down the drain~"

She thrusts her hands forward and summons flames to shoot on the ground. Oboro jumps up high.

"Ha! I'm not falling for your tricks!" She says.

"Huhu! Ohhh this is just the beginning~" Astaroth waves her hand to summon a fire ball that trails off and follows Oboro from behind.

"Prepare to die, Astaroth!" Oboro raises her claws to slash her opponent to bits.

However, the fireball reaches Oboro and burns her back. She screams in pain and falls down on the floor. Astaroth chuckles as she floats down.

"You're slow~" the demoness says.

Oboro growls and raises her hand to attack but the Inferno Queen grabs her clawed weapon. She uses her flames to heat up the metal causing Oboro to panic. Astaroth grabs the other weapon to melt that as well. It is so painful that she frantically takes off her weapons off her wrist to let them fully melt. However, Oboro's wrists still have severe burn marks.

"You're left with nothing, dear Oboro~" Astaroth says. "You have lost~"

However, Oboro speeds over behind Astaroth and gets her in a strangle hold.

"I think not~" Oboro says. "I will choke the life outta ya!"

"Like I said, you're so slow~" Astaroth says and uses her body heat to free herself.

Oboro screams in pain again as the heat gets to her and stumbles to the ground. Astaroth chuckles.

"We can keep going like this if you want~" Astaroth says. "But…to be frank with you, this isn't my responsibility to take your life. There is only one who will do that. But other than that, dear Oboro, you've been outmatched."

"Damn you…" Oboro curses under her breath.

"I win. Your days of evil are over….for now~" Astaroth continues.

"You…." Oboro struggles to her feet but falls back down again.

"You are looking at Astaroth, the Inferno Queen~"

The crowd goes wild as Astaroth leaves the arena.

When she arrives at her mansion, she stretches out her arms, letting out a sweet moan. She has kept her purple negligee on as a souvenir. Three succubi fly toward her.

"Astaroth-sama~!" All of them say in unison.

"Wow, you're covered in sweat!" One of them says.

"Were you in a huge fight again?" Another asks

"Here! I got you some towels!" The third one says, handing the Inferno Queen some white towels.

"I was in a fight," Astaroth says. "It was nothing special. The little insect was nothing compared to me. Fufufu~"

The trio of succubi swoon. "That's our Astaroth-samaaaaa~"

"Fufu! Well then, would you mind preparing a bath for me~?" Astaroth asks. "And then after that, all of us can sleep together~?"

"As you wish, Astaroth-sama!" The trio say in unison and fly away to do as they are told.

Astaroth chuckles to herself as soon as the succubi leave. "My dear, Oboro. What are the chances of meeting you again? Probably zero since the famous Asagi will do her job. Fufufu! There can only be one good villain here. And that is me, The Inferno Queen. Fufufufu~"
