Part 9. Flynn VS Zagi, Gentleman's Club Massacre
(The Empire Club, Main Lobby)
(Flynn's point of view)
"MWA HA HA HA! My name is Zagi, Flynn Scifo. Remember it well..." Zagi charged at me, both of those wicked blades of his spinning.
"As I send you screaming in pure agony into the afterlife!" He swung his first blade at me, but I quickly dodge it. "DIE!" He swung his next blade at me, but I blocked it with my shield. I felt that blow push my shied back, and I saw the sparks fly as he finishes his swing! I can tell this guy was intense and very aggressive.
"No, offense, but I'm NOT planning on paying a visit to the afterlife anytime soon!" I replied, swinging my sword at him. He parried the swing. "And dying ain't on my to do list either!" I thrust at him but he somersaulted back.
"Hee hee hee! What's wrong!? Can't hit me, Flynn!?" Zagi sneered as prepared to charge at me again.
"I could say the same thing, you kook!" I replied readying my shield.
"I'm gonna kill you, Flynn!" Zagi charged at me again. I managed to block his first two slashes and quickly back-step from his nest three. "And carve your name into my blood! MWA HA HA HA!" He spins his blades so fast, I could barely see them.
Wait a second. Did he say he's going to carve my name into his... "You're sick!" I said as I attacked making Zagi parry my strike.
"Why thank you." Zagi grinned like a crazed madman as he struck.
I was parrying and dodging like crazy. He managed a hit or two, but they only struck my armor, leaving deep scratches or dents. I had to back-step to break his attack.
"And after I'm done carving your name into my blood, I'm gonna take your intestines and make shoelaces outta them! Then I'll take your stomach and make me a new fanny-pack outta it! Then I'll take your lungs and turn 'em into bagpipes! Then I'll take your heart out and make out with it!"
Would you believe me if I told you he was saying all that as he was constantly trying to cut me into ground meat?
"And then I'll... I'll... Could you hold on a sec... I need to think about this for a moment... Aw screw it! I'll just do something else to you that's nasty and sick and wrong to you as soon as I think it up! NOW DIE ALREADY! MWA HA HA HA!"
We continued to trade blows for the next ten or so seconds. Then I caught an opening in Zagi's defenses and managed to land a blow across his chest, leaving a red line across it, but the wound was only superficial, just cutting his skin.
"You've managed to cut me!" Zagi examined his new injury, licking his own blood. "I'll have to admit, for a wussy knight, I'm impressed, Flynn. Not many could do that! Oh yeah! Oh baby! I haven't had a fight this good in a long while! This is gonna be so much fun! DIE!" Here we go again!
"Let's see if you handle this, Blondie!" Zagi uses a double slash that leaves an X shaped gash in my shield.
"NGH!" I grunted as the force of that blow pushed me back, almost taking me off my feet. "That was an arte, wasn't it?" I said.
"Well, duh!" Zagi sneered. "A little thing I like to call 'Reaper's Cross'. I used that to take out those knights guarding that prince last month. And their little horsies too. One more whack and it's bye bye to your shield!"
He's right, I don't think my shield can take another blow like that. "So let's get rid of it!" He attacked me again, using that 'Reaper's Cross' arte, knocking me backwards and sectioning my shield into four pieces. "There we go! NOW DIE ALREADY!"
I had do duck and dodge like crazy to avoid his crazed swung and kicks before I could find another opening to exploit. "MY TURN, YOU PSYCHO!" I shouted as I unbalanced him with a blast of aer(Beast), and followed up with a flurry of rapid punches(Cerberus strike) and gave him another cut across his chest.
"That hurt!" Zagi replied, knocking me back with a karate kick. "Oh yeah, I'm definitely feeling it!"
"What are you talking about?" I replied, guarding.
"Well aren't we sounding confident!" Zagi growled. "MWA HA HA HA! That's it! That's what I've been looking for since the games! An opponent to truly test my skills on! NOW I FEEL TRULY ALIVE!" He howls at the ceiling. "I hadn't felt like this since I killed my last tribute! MWA HA HA HA!"
"Oh great, now's he completely flipped!" I muttered to myself.
"Will you hurry up and kill him already?" Nero ordered. "Before that four-eyed maid shows up!"
"Yeah yeah! Hold your horses! I'm too busy enjoying myself!" Zagi replied, keeping one eye on me. "Besides, didn't you send your goons to X 'em out?"
"Yes we did, Zagi-san." Wada replied grinning like a cat that had just caught a mouse.
"Even as we speak, our fellow guild members and the Lower Quarter johns are killing those two men who thought they could fool us by pretending to be honorable Gradana-san's pimps, as well as doing to that maid and twins, what we did earlier to to that pink haired woman. And let's just say we like to stick things other than dicks, fingers and tongues into their pussys. Oh ho ho ho."
Well, I don't like the sound of that.
Suddenly the door burst open and in ran Eric Onkos and Stan Falakros. Both of them looking white as a sheet? And trembling as if they saw a ghost? They slammed and bar the door behind them, dashed across the main lobby faster than I can remember and try to climb over that partition that's separating us from the Masijis and the two councilmen.
"You gotta help us, Please!" Eric begged, rattling the iron bars like a frightened ape. "They're ripping us apart down there!"
"Especially, Yuri and that four-eyed bitch!" Stan added, also rattling those iron bars. "They're slicing us to pieces like a pair of demons hell-bent on making our deaths as painful as possible!"
"I'm telling you, it was a fucking bad idea to let them find miss Estellise!" Eric continued. "Especially after we gang-banged her senseless and jammed all that junk into her pussy!"
"You two did WHAT!?" I shouted at them. If what they said about lady Estellise was true? THAT'S IT! Forget arresting those two! I WANT TO KILL THEM!
Problem was, that distracted me long enough to take my attention from Zag1. "Yo! Pay attention, Blondie!" He insta-dasheed behind me(Falling Leaf), And as I spun around to face him, I got hit with a 'Cyclone Shot' arte that knocks the sword right out of my hand.
"Gotcha, Flynn!" Zagi points his blade at my neck, causing me to back up towards the wall. "Now, before you die, I want you to beg for your pitiful, shortened life. Just like that freckle faced knight did."
"Um, how did he beg?" I asked.
"Oh, you don't know, Huh?" Zagi growled. He turns to Eric. "Hey, Fatso, you remember how he begged didn't you?"
"How could I forget?" Eric replied.
"Yeah." Zagi grinned.
"That little twerp was like (In a reasonable impression of Wesley's voice) 'Oh, Please, don't kill me Zagi! I'm begging you, I'm pleading you! I promise I'll keep what I did with lady Estellise a secret! I promise I won't make her lick my ass, or put my cock into her mouth or her ass or her pussy again!'"
You know If Wesley was still alive, you don't want to know what I would've done. Anyway, Zagi continued his impression of that dead weasel. " 'Oh please no, pleeeaaassseee! I don't wanna die!' (resumes his normal voice) Pretty pathetic, huh, Fatso?"
"Yeah, those were definitely his last words." Eric agreed.
Zagi turned his attention back to me. "And I want you to beg like that!" Zagi ordered.
"Screw you!" I coldly replied.
"So you wanna die like a man!? Suits me, now DIE!" Zagi thrusted his blades, but I ducked under, causing them to get buried in the wall.
Then I punched him in the face and used that brief distraction to get away from Zagi, and make a dash for my sword. "Oh no you don't Blondie!" Zagi pulled his blades free and gave chase, but I managed to reach my sword, then borrow sir Jurgis's shield, using it to quickly parry another reaper cross. I retaliate with a 'Demon Fang'.
"Very good, ducking my attack and punching me in the face then managing to get your sword!" Zagi growled. "And even went as far to get yourself a better shield! I barely scratched it! Oh, baby, BEST FIGHT EVAR!"
Just then, we heard a loud banging. We notice that the door that Eric and Stan barred was shaking violently with each thud. It look like it's about to fly off its hinges.
"Oh no!" Eric snivered.
"She's here!" Stan added.
"AND SHE'S COMING TO CUT OFF OUR DICKS!" Both of them glomp each other and shiver and tremble like, well, terrified Lower Quarter johns.
*KER-BAM*! And the door violently flies off its hinges, sails across the lobby between me and Zagi, and smashes into Eric and Stan, knocking them into the cage, causing it to rattle slightly.
"NANI GA!?" The two evil Yurzoreans yelp in surprise.
"WHAT THE FUCK.!?" Along with Nero and Bruno as we all looked at that now opened doorway.
"Oh, jeez! She's early!" Zagi said.
The first thing we saw was a pair of small glowing circles, about eye-height, then those circles move forward into the light, revealing themselves to be the shine coming off of Julia's glasses as she entered the room, looking VERY PISSED! Her rondel daggers were completely red, glittering and dripping, and she was splattered head to toe in glittery blood.
Wait a second! Glittery blood? Don't tell me there are Gary Stus in the building?
"WHERE ARE YOU, YOU FRIGGING BROWN-SKINNED GLITTER BLOODED ASSHOLES!?" She shouted looking right and left. "I KNOW YOU TWO RAN IN HERE!"
Then that door she kicked in falls over, revealing the two completely dazed johns.
"AHA! THOUGHT YOU COULD GET AWAY FROM ME DID YOU!? AFTER WHAT YOU AND YOUR DISGUSTING GARY STU FRIENDS DID TO LADY ESTELLISE!? I'M GONNA CUT YOUR VILE MAN-HOODS OFF, SPLIT YOU STERNUM TO CROTCH AND STRANGLE THE BOTH OF YOU WITH YOUR OWN INTESTINES!"
Ouch!
(The Downstairs Washroom, a bit earlier)
(Julia's point of view)
"Well well, what do we have here?" The leader of that group of men asked in a rather thick Yurzorean accent said as him and his fellow Yurzoreans, in various states of undress, as well as a rather familiar looking group of dark-skins, all still naked except for Eric and Stan, looked in on us as we were still kneeling around the still prone, and still badly injured Estellise.
"Don't even think of drawing your weapons." He threatened. "You'll be dead before they leave their scabbards."
"Well, Yuri Lowell, looks like you're up shit-creek without a paddle or a boat again." Eric gloated. It seems he's gotten fatter and smellier since I last saw that revolting, smelly hog three years ago, ugh.
"And you still smell like you're still washing yourself in said creek, bulky." Yuri sneered.
"We're gonna make you wish you were still Gilbert's plaything once we're done with you, you punk." Stan threatened. "And that's nothing compared to what we have in mind to those three bitches you got with you."
"I want to know one thing..." Yuri replied.
"Did you guys do this?" He pointed at Estellise. "Did you rip up her dress, doodle, piss and crap all over her?"
"Yeah, we did." Eric admitted. "Well Kitano ripped her dress and fucked her first, then we took turns at her, graffitied her with markers, pissed and pooped on her."
"We even stuffed a bunch of crap into her pussy." Stan added.
"But it looks like you dared to remove it from her." The Yurzorean said. "For that, you bakas must pay! Kill the men! Rape the women!"
"So, you bastards admitted to gang raping her highness, huh?" Hatchette said.
"Well there's only one sentence that's appropriate for this heinous crime. Sentence of DEATH!"
He suddenly stood up, his revolver out and pointed at the crowd of goons and, fanning the hammer, emptied hod gun into the crowd of rapists. *BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG* We can hear some of them screaming. And my nostrils were filled with the thick familiar smell of gun-smoke.
"GHAAAH! I'M HIT! I'M HIT!"
"ARRHG! WHAT THE FUCK! THE BLEEDING WON'T STOP!"
Two were dead already. One with two bullet wounds in his chest. And the other missing half his head. Three of them were badly wounded and bleeding heavily, and would bleed to death inside of a minute. Was Hatchette using hollow-point rounds?
That's when we noticed something.
They were all bleeding glitter!
"What the?" Hatchette gasped in surprise when he saw their weird blood. "Their blood's glittering?"
"Just as I thought! You're all Gary Stus!" I accused the remaining members of that rape-gang. "Including you two!" I glared at Eric And Stan.
"Wait a sec…" Yuri said.
"You're telling me that Bulky and Baldy are the same as those bastards that, that..."
"That tried to turn you and Flynn into gays last fall." I finished. "And, from what I read in Fidi's diary and what I'm seeing in front of me, they're the same scum that's messing with our reality!"
"What are you two talking about?" Hatchette asked.
"We'll explain later, Hatchette." Yuri replied. "After we kill the rest of these fucking bastards."
"Um, right." Hatchette and Yuri drew their swords as I drew my daggers. "Yuri, Julia! Take 'em out! Hisca Chastel! Guard lady Estellise!" Hatchette ordered.
"You know what to do, Julia." Yuri said. "I'll the high road..."
"And I'll take the low road! Let's make a mess!" I added. And we rushed at those extra-dimensional perverts, intent on sending them to Hell. Yuri rushed the Yurzoreans, and I went after the dark-skins.
Yuri side-stepped a downward swing from a Yurzorean katana, rolled over that guy's back, and replied with a knee, followed by a downward swing, decapitating that asshole. His glittery blood squirted out the stump that was his neck like a high pressure hose.
Then he spun around, parried another katana, kicked the owner in the gut, gave him a knee to the face, and slashed him across the chest and the belly sending his guts flying.
He ducked under another swing. He hip-tossed his opponent to the floor, pinned him down and stabbed him square in the head. Glittery blood spraying out.
A fourth almost took Yuri's head off but he ducked under it, stunned him with an uppercut, kicked him in the chest, and slashed him across the belly, spilling his guts on the floor.
The lead Yurzorean then engages Yuri. "You'll pay for my honorable friends deaths you lowly mongrel!" He shouted as he tried to kill Yuri.
"Perhaps I will..." Yuri replied as he parried his katana and followed with a hard right hook to the face, a knee to the abdomen, then finished him with a stab through the heart.
"And perhaps I won't. See you in Hell, bastard." The fatally struck opponent falls on his back, his glittery blood spraying out of his chest.
Meanwhile, I tucked and rolled under a knife swing, and stabbed the following guy, a rather fat large bald fellow who was still naked, square in the crotch, causing him to scream. I finished him with a slash across the belly, eviscerating that scumbag. Glitter and guts flying everywhere.
Then I spun around and stunned the leading guy with a kick, slashed his penis, and I eviscerated him with a slash down the belly. Then I reached in, pulled out his intestines and garroted him with his own guts.
A third dark-skin tries to grab me from behind, but I spun around, making him stab his dying partner instead. Then I stabbed him in the genitals as he stood in shock from killing his eviscerated partner for me. As he screamed, I got behind him, pulled his chin up, and slit his throat. His glitter spraying out like an erupting geyser.
"Why you bitch!" A fourth dark-skin with green hair shouted as he tried to stab me with the now broken wine bottle, but I easily evaded his somewhat clumsy attempt, grabbed him by the hair and slammed him to the floor.
"Any last words, dickhead?" I asked, readying my stab.
"AAH! GET HER OFF! GET HER..." He screamed his last words as I stabbed him a few times in the privates and the belly. As he screamed in pure, and well deserved pain, I grabbed him by the base of his head and chin and ended him by breaking his neck.
Needless to say, both me and Yuri were completely covered in sticky glittery blood by the time we were done slaughtering those bastards. YUCK! But at the time, I was so enraged with what they did to Estellise that I didn't care, so long as they all died in agony.
"Oh my god! She killed Kenny!" Eric yelped. "And Butters, and Johnny, and Andy!"
"You bitch!" Stan added, both of those assholes staying well back as both me and Yuri was slaughtering those revolting monsters.
Well that certainly got my attention. "Oh, shit! You and your big mouth, Stan! Now she's LOOKING AT US!" Eric yelped, looking at my rather blood(If you can call that glittery stuff that) stained appearances.
Not to mention my now reddened and glittering weapons, which are still quite thirsty. "And I just remembered..." He looked at me. "We saw you three years ago when Kyle was fucking you..."
"And..." I said.
"And again when you killed those guys at Gradana's pad..."
"And..."
"And now you're, GULP! Here, and viciously killing them with the exact same daggers, getting just as splattered in their blood! Just like three years ago! And YOU'RE LOOKING RIGHT AT US!"
"Exactly." I sneered. "It's time you two assholes died a nice screaming death." I twirled my daggers. Those two were turning white.
"Well, Julia, which one do you want?" Yuri asked, just as glittery blood splattered. And his sword was just as red and glittery as my daggers. "Bulky first or Baldy?"
"Well, Yuri, I think I want that fat smelly pig, Eric." I replied. "I'm certain he was the one that de-flowered lady Estellise, taking advantage of her drugged condition."
"Right, then I'll end Baldy then." Yuri said. "You know, Baldy, you oughta consider yourself fucking lucky I'm killing you instead of Julia."
"W-Wait!" Stan stammered holding his hands. "You two aren't seriously thinking of killing us!?"
"Y-Yeah, I-I were just following master Charu and lord Ragou's orders when I de-flowered her on her birthday!" Eric added, also holding his hands up. "Besides we're men and Gary Stus! We can't help it!"
"So you admit it." Yuri growled.
"Both what you are and what you did. And that's a fucking lame excuse for what you bastards did to that girl. And don't blame us for what we are going to do to you two bastards. Blame the guy that gave you your orders, in Hell."
Both Yuri and me advanced on them. Those two assholes won't be living to see sunrise, I simply swear it. Those two, and those other Gary Stu assholes we just killed just went too far.
"Oh, um, Stan? Looks there's one thing we can do." Eric whimpered.
"I, know, Eric." Stan added. "And that's to..."
"RUN AWAAAYYY! RUN AWAAAYYY!" They both shouted and bolted back down the hallway towards the stairs. They were joined by several young libertines and their custom maids.
"Run for your lives! They're gonna kill us!" Stan shouted, and the libertines and the custom maids, noticing the mess we just made, also ran for it.
"GET BACK HERE, YOU ASSHOLES!" I shouted, chasing after them.
"Hey, wait up, Julia!" Yuri and Hatchette followed me. We soon made it to the top of the stairs. We notices the fleeing crowd shouting into each of the playrooms, telling their friends to flee for their lives. "Hatchette, you still have that flare-gun?"
"Yeah, I still do." Hatchette replied, pulling out the flare-gun and cocking the hammer.
"Time to signal captain Schwann and get this place shut down." He launched the flare into the night sky.
Another flare some distance shot into the air.
"Looks like they saw it. Good. In moments they'll be busting in."
"Hey! What in the name of Zaude is going on out here?" A somewhat confused and dazed Allen asked as he staggered out of that playroom we left him in, still wearing that rather kinky S&M outfit.
"I think one of the maids and her customer are high on crack!" One of the frightened libertines shouted. "They've gone butt-fuck psycho and mangled a bunch of guys down stairs! And now they're gonna kill us! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD! They're up here! RUN! RUUUUNNNN! THEY'RE GONNA GET US! THEY'RE GONNA GET UUUUUUSSSSS!"
Allen looks back down the hall and sees both me and Yuri looking rather glitter-blood-splattered. "Gah! Julia! What's going on? Why are you all splattered in glittery blood?"
"Oh not much..." I simply replied. "I was just mangling a bunch of rather revolting rapists from another dimension. Need to wash out my dress once this is over. Do you still wish to, now what was that phrase? Rumpy-pumpy with me?"
"Um, er, Heh heh! All of a sudden, heh heh, I'm not feeling like having sex right about now! Meep!" Allen cowered back into the playroom.
"Good for you, viscount." I smiled as we went past. "You'll most certainly live longer. Now if you'll excuse us, we got some absolutely revoltingly evil alien rapists that simply need to expire at our hands."
And I'm certainly going to make it messy.
We soon caught up to that panicking crowd of customers and their custom maids. They were frantically trying to open that door. "OPEN UP! PLEASE!" One of the customers shouted.
"WE WANNA GET OUT!" Another shouted.
"I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!" Another shouted
"PLEASE! LET US OUT! PLEEEAAASSSEEE!" And another one begged. Then they saw us.
"OH, NO! PLEASE DON'T KILL US! PLEASE! WE'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT! ANYTHING!"
"Anything you say?" Yuri asked. "Then hand over that fat dark-skin and his bald buddy."
"T-T-They're not here!" One of the frightened customers replied. "Those two ran through the door first and locked us out to die horribly at your hands!"
"Those two are through there?" I asked. They all quickly nodded. "Then get out of my way!"
I marched up to the door. The crowd fearfully parted, allowing me access to to that door. I tried to open it, but it felt like it was barred. So I started kicking at it. I can feel it weakening with each kick. And, with one last mighty aer charged kick…
"HI-YAH!" * KER-BAM*! The door finally, and violently flew off its hinges, sailed across the lobby between...
Is that Flynn and Titus?
Anyway, it flew between them and smashed into a cage surrounding the stage, causing it to rattle slightly.
"NANI GA!?" I hear two Yurzoreans yelp in surprise. I notice that it's that revolting creep, Kitano and his equally deplorable son
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Along with thous two vile councilmen, Nero and Bruno as they all looked at that now opened doorway.
"Oh, jeez! She's early!" Titus said.
I marched right into the lobby. "WHERE ARE YOU, YOU FRIGGING BROWN-SKINNED GLITTER BLOODED ASSHOLES!?" I shouted looking right and left.
"I KNOW YOU TWO RAN IN HERE!"
Then that door I kicked in falls over, revealing my two completely dazed targets.
"AHA! THOUGHT YOU COULD GET AWAY FROM ME DID YOU!? AFTER WHAT YOU AND YOUR DISGUSTING GARY STU FRIENDS DID TO LADY ESTELLISE!? I'M GONNA CUT YOUR VILE MAN-HOODS OFF AND SPLIT YOU STERNUM TO CROTCH, AND STRANGLE THE BOTH OF YOU WITH YOUR OWN INTESTINES!"
Along with the Masijis and those councilmen(I wouldn't bee too surprised if their blood's glittery too). And I have a feeling no court in Terca Lumireis will convict me. And NOT because I'm from a noble family.
But something tells me Titus is going to be a bit of a problem...
(Flynn's point of view)
"Please don't let her kill us, Flynn!" Eric begged, down on his knees and grovelling like a fat wimp as Julia steadily approached.
"Why would I want to do that?" I growled. "Julia, did you find lady Estellise?"
"We did, Flynn." Julia replied twirling her daggers. "Those assholes gang-raped her half to death, urinated and defecated on her, wrote obscene graffiti on her and stuffed a wine bottle and toilet cleaning utensils in her vagina! The they tried to kill us but..."
"You and Yuri ripped them apart instead." I finished. "Those two told us when they fled in here."
"Not to mention Eric admitted to taking away her virginity on her birthday, under Ragou's orders. As well as someone named Charu. Just like in those comics!" Julia said. "Not only that, they're Gary Stus, Flynn!"
Just as I thought. They were the same bastards that *shudder* tried to turn me and Yuri into gay lovers against our will last fall. And now we're dealing with a group of them that's turning lady Estellise into a sex addicted whore.
"Is that true, Eric?" I asked the cowering fat man.
"Yeah, I did, I did, Okay? And we're Gary Stus too, okay" Eric blubbered. "We were sent here to turn miss Estellise into a prostitute for our master's three part hentai doujinshi! We didn't know that canon was a princess! We didn't know that she had (pointing at Julia) that walking four-eyed buzz-saw working as her maid!"
"It might look like an upper-class woman but..." Stan whimpered.
"It is no woman! It is a MONSTER!" Eric declared. "A MONSTER THIRSTING FOR OUR GLITTERY BLOOD!"
"A monster?" Julia scoffs. "Obviously you two haven't looked in a mirror lately. Also, Do I look like a bloody vampire!?"
"And We didn't know they hired (pointing at Zagi) him to keep what she's been doing for the last three months a secret!" Stan pointed at Zagi. "So please spare us! We don't wanna end up eviscerated corpses at her hand!" He begged and grovelled.
Along with Eric. "We're even willing to testify against lord Ragou and master Charu! It was all his(Charu's) idea! Ragou wanted to increase his power and run the Empire! And master Charu wanted to improve miss Estellise!"
"Improve Lady Estellise?" I angrily replied. "You two things call what you did to her improving!?"
Eric continues to beg. "So please, spare us, please! I DON'T WANNA DIE!"
"ME NEITHER!" Stan added as they both continued to beg and plead for mercy, looking quite pathetic.
"Oh sure, ignore the guy with the multicolor hair and the two short swords." Zagi interrupted. "Am I gonna kill somebody or am I gonna have to listen to more yap yap yap yap.? Sheeeesh!"
"Oh, didn't know you were here, Titus." Julia said, looking at Zagi. "So which badly dubbed card battle themed Saturday morning cartoon did you get that absolutely bizarre hairstyle from this time?"
Huh? Any idea just what exactly is a Saturday morning cartoon, anybody? Must be an Earth thing.
"Um, I think it was from that hooky cartoon called 'Yu-Gi-Oh', Julia." Zagi replied.
Okay those two just lost me.
"But enough about that! You dared to call me Titus! Nobody calls me that and lives!" Zagi snarled.
"Well I do suppose I'll simply have to be the first. Titus." Julia sneered, readying her daggers.
"All right then?" Zagi started twirling his swords. "You die first! Then Flynn! DIE!" and Zagi lunged straight at Julia. "MWA HA HA HA HA!" Laughing maniacally, spinning his swords.
Julia got into a defensive position, her daggers raised to block. Zagi connected. But all he struck was Julia's daggers. The force of his strike caused Julia to slide back a few inches, but she's still standing and her rondels were still holding. "Hey, what the fuck gives!?" Zagi was looking quite surprised. "Why didn't those knives break!? Why the hell are you still standing!?"
"Are you forgetting who taught me before he died, Titus?" Julia growled, straining against Zagi's swords. "Your own father. Even though he was such an asshole."
"Yeah/ And guess who killed him? It was Me! And STOP CALLING ME TITUS!" Zagi attacked Julia with a savage flurry of slashes and kicks. "It's Zagi now! Z.A.G.I! And why aren't you dead!?"
"I'm simply that good! My turn!" Julia replies and launches a counter-attack of slashes and kicks of her own. But Zagi, like Julia before dodges and parries her equally fast attacks.
And Zagi was also saying all the same stuff he was going to do to me to Julia.
"Eww! I always though you were sick! But this is just absolutely ridiculous!" Julia replied as she parried, then replied with a karate kick.
From what I could see, those two were dead even. Neither one can get an advantage on the other. While all this was going on, I noticed a crowd of panicked patrons crowded around the door. "Help us, please!" One of the customers called out. "We wanna get outta here!"
"But we're scared that those two might come over here and chop us up!" A very scared custom maid added
"The main door's over there!" I dashed to the front door and opened it up. "Julia, can you keep Zagi occupied for a few moments while I get these bystanders outta here?"
"I don' think WHOA! That's going to HEY! A problem, Flynn, EEK!" Julia replied while dodging Zagi's attacks. "Seeing as he, OH NO YOU DON'T! Is simply more, TAKE THIS! Interested in me! AND TAKE THAT, NUTSO!"
"Right!" I turned my attention to those customers. "C'mon you! GO GO GO!" I shouted and the customers and the employees fled out through the double doors.
"Hey, what's going on here?" The somewhat confused doorman asked as he watched the crowd pour out of the building.
"This is a raid! We're shutting this place down again!" I replied.
"Again?" The doorman rolled his eyes as he looked at the fight still going on. "First roadies, now crazed assassins and combat ladies! What's next with you? The four horsemen riding eggbears!?"
"Very funny! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna help my friend nail that nutcase in there!" I dashed back to help Julia fight Zagi.
I saw that Zagi used the same 'Cyclone Shot' arte on Julia Knocking her on her back despite her best efforts to guard. "DIIIEEE!" Zagi screamed as he dove down on her, but she rolls out of the way, leaving Zagi sticking his swords in the floor.
"Not Today, Titus!" Julia got back on her feet. "My turn!" As Zagi pulled out his swords and faced Julia, she uses a falling leaf arte to suddenly get behind him and attacks him with a flurry of kicks and slashes. Each one lifting Zagi further and further into the air. Her last kick sends the psychotic assassin rocketing into a table, smashing it to splinters.
"What do you think of that?" Julia smiled as she landed. "I'd like to call this arte; Hawk Accent.!"
"Oooooo! You're gonna pay for that, Julia!" Zagi growled, getting back to his feet.
"Do you take cash or check?" Julia replied as I joined her. "Oh, Flynn! Want to help me with this turkey?"
"Actually That's what I was going to ask you, Julia!" I replied. "We need to beat this guy in order to get the antidote for sir Jurgis and Bernard!"
"Really?" Julia looks at Zagi and notices something. "Right! Can you get his attention for a second?"
"I think so!" I replied. "Try not to die, Julia!"
"Same to you Flynn!" Julia replied. "LOOK OUT!" Zagi was jumping down on us but...
"GUARDIAN FIELD" I shouted as I used the spell to both heal the two of us(As we both suffered cuts from fighting Zagi) and stun Zagi with an electrical shock.
"EEGOBBLIGOBBLIGOBBLIGOBBLI!" Zagi babbled as he shot towards another table. "Ooooh. Now I know what sex with an electric eel feels like."
"I simply almost feel sorry for the tables here. Almost." Julia commented as I approached Zagi. "Now if only we can get that idiot to go after you."
"Are you trying to fry me, Blondie?" Zagi growled as he got back on his feet. "That's it! YOU DIE FIRST! AND THEN I'LL KILL THAT FOUR-EYED BIMBO AND GET MY MENTOR JOB BACK!"
"And his attention is on you again Flynn!" Julia said as Zagi charged. But I blocked his crazed sword swung with my borrowed shied.
Julia suddenly shot past Zagi, passing close enough to touch him. "Yoink!" She said.
"Hey, what did you just do?" Zagi wheeled around to face Julia.
Big mistake. "Yo! Pay attention, Zagi!" I shouted as I attacked him with a Pierce Cluster arte. My shield swipe sending him right into another table. "It must be getting hard for you to fight two skilled fighters at the same time!" I said as he got up. "You turn to face one..." He charged at me but...
Julia attacked him from the flank "And the other one simply kicks you in the butt!" She pummeled Zagi with an arte where her daggers twirl and spin, lacerating Zagi's armor, and follows with a sharp kick, knocking him into the air(Storm Blade).
"That ain't gonna matter, you two!" Zagi performed a mid air recovery. "I've fought way longer odds than that in the games!"
"So did I, Titus!" Julia replied. Just then...
"THIS IS A RAID!" The loud tones of lieutenant Leblanc reverberated throughout the room as he and a dozen Schwann brigade and Jurgis brigade knights stormed into the lobby.
"Oh oh! But not this long!" Zagi did a quick count of all the knights in the lobby.
"SHIT! Something tells me it's time to..." He turned towards the caged off stage, and we noticed that it was empty. Even Stan and Eric were gone! Damn! Must have bolted while we were tied up with Zagi.
"Huh? Oh great, must've scrammed while I was fighting you two! Time I folded my deck and left! Too bad you didn't defeat me and took the medicine from my corpse." Zagi said.
"You mean these, Titus?" Julia held up a couple of syringes from a pouch. "Swiped 'em off you while you weren't looking! Hee hee hee."
"Shit!" Zagi explained when he noticed his pouch wasn't attached to his belt.
"Fine! You two dweebs won this round, but I'll be back!" Zagi sprinted towards one of the windows. "I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME, FLYNN SCIFO!" He jumped through the window, smashing through the glass. "And your little maid too!" We dashed up to the window, but we see no sign of the crazy-haired assassin.
"Lieutenant Scifo, your Report." Leblanc asked, but...
"Not right now, Leblanc!" I replied as me and Julia hurried back to sir Jurgis and Bernard. "Sir Jurgis and Bernard have just been poisoned!"
"And I hope these needle I swiped from Titus hold the antidote!" Julia added as we exposed both sir Jurgis's arm and Bernard's. Both of them were breathing extremely shallow and ragged. "Here, Flynn." Julia give me one of the syringes.
"I hope this works, Sir Jurgis." I said, looking sir Jurgis's eyes as I injected him in the soft of the elbow. Julia does the same with Bernard. To be honest, we don't know if Zagi was telling the truth if those were the antidote. They might still die if we injected them. But if we did nothing, we know they WILL die.
Both Sir Jurgis and Bernard suddenly gasp deeply and pass out.
Julia checked them by using one of her daggers next to each one's mouth and nose, after she wiped them clean. She noticed mist steadily forming on her daggers.
"Their breathing appears to be normal. Help me get their cuirasses off. It'll make it easier for them to breathe." Me and a couple of knights unbuckled their cuirasses. At that point sir Jurgis opens his eyes. "Sir Jurgis how are you feeling?"
"Hey, I was about to ask him that, Julia." Yuri said as him and Hatchette entered the room.
"We could've used your help, Yuri." I scolded.
"Yeah. but there was this bunch of weirdos wearing blue trench-coats and red-eyed goggles that suddenly showed up and tried to kill both Hatchette and me."
"Yuri nailed three of them and I took out the same number." Hatchette added. "Another group showed up but someone sniped 'em all."
"That would've been me." Sir Schwann said as he entered, holding his longbow.
"That was some pretty good shooting, old man." Yuri complimented.
"Hey! Don't call me that!" Sir Schwann replied. "Anyway what's your... Hey, Jurgis, you okay?"
"I've had better days, Schwann." Sir Jurgis croaked. "Anyway, Yuri, Hatchette, Julia? Find Lady Estellise?"
"We found her, Jurgis." Hatchette answered. "She was in worse shape than you or Bernard."
"How bad?" Sir Jurgis asked.
"She was, oh man, gang-raped half to death, sir." Hatchette replied. "Me, Yuri and Julia took out those that did it to her."
"And they suffered terribly, we made sure of it." Julia said. "The Aiheaps are guarding her right now. She needs treatment, as well as you two."
"Yeah, thanks for saving our butts, Flynn, Julia." Sir Jurgis replied.
"Same goes for me." Bernard weakly added. "Thought we were gonna die."
"Right, then, Lieutenant Leblanc." Sir Schwann turned to address Leblanc.
"Sir."
"Bring up the ambulance and three stretchers." Sir Schwann ordered. "We need to get these two and lady Estellise back to the castle A.S.A.P. They're all gonna need some serious treatment."
"Yes, sir!" Leblanc saluted.
"We can get a full debriefing back at the castle. I don't think it's safe here." Sir Schwann said.

Moments later an ambulance was brought up to the entrance of the gentleman's club. They got Sir Jurgis and Bernard loaded first. Lady Estellise was brought up a while later escorted by the still worried twins She was covered over with a blanket because, according to Yuri, Hatchette and Julia, her clothes were completely ruined and I could tell she was in a lot of pain.
"I simply can't believe I just fought Titus, and lived to tell the tale." Julia said, as Me, her and Yuri used a nearby fountain to wash our faces clean of the glittery blood that was splattered on our faces. Come to think of it, me too. I can't believe I fought Zagi, and here I am still among the breathing. "Ah much better. Ooh!"
"Hey, Julia are you okay?" Yuri asked when Julia suddenly collapsed on her knees.
"I'm fine, Yuri. Just tired that's all. Whew! All the adrenaline's gone outta me. That fight with Titus took quite a bit out of me. I simply haven't fought this hard since, well it's either a toss-up between mangling the Valssuwreath in Shizontonia, or when I kicked the Rapeman's butt on earth last winter, getting my favorite pin back. I simply hope lady Estellise is going to be okay."
Me too, Julia.
"Here, lemme give you a hand." I offered my hand and helped Julia get back up.
"Thank you, Flynn." Julia replied. "I'm going to ride back to the castle with lady Estellise."
"I'd better come with." I replied. Me and Julia climbed aboard the ambulance and sat down near the front.
"Flynn..." Lady Estellise moaned, looking at me with her now dull green eyes, tears welling up in them. "I'm so sorry., I-I didn't mean for you to, sniffle, see me like this. Like a, sniffle, wretched whore, sniffle. I'm so, sob, sorry." she feebly reached out to me. "I don't blame you or Julia if you two want to, sob, hate me right now, sob."
"To say such a thing, lady Estellise." Julia shook her head.
"Just try to relax, lady Estellise." I took her hand and gently squeezed. "It's all over. "
"Yeah, Estellise, most of the ones that raped you tonight all suffered terribly. We made certain of that." Julia said. "We'll get the rest of 'em eventually, but for now, just rest. We got a doctor at the castle that'll fix you up. And get that revolting monster drool addiction out of your system."
We felt the ambulance start to move, taking us away from that now closed den of inequity and take us back to the Castle.
(End Part 9)
Author's Notes:
Well that takes care of Estellise's last...*ahem*... sympathy call. Now all that's left is to cure her.
I'll have to admit it was rather fun writing Zagi's dialogue. Crazy stuff, huh...? Not to mention Yuri and my OC mangling those rapists.
Look for a well-known shout-out to 'South Park'.
The artes that Julia uses are based on the arte-set used by Ange Serena from 'Tales of Innocence'.
Well that's all there is to say for now. Next chapter, We cure a princess, and some bad guys get a bad case of the crabs.
