Magical Girls Support Group
Chapter Seven
"Welcome to the Dark Magical Girl and Villainesses Support Group." Major General Tanya von Degurechaff said, heading up the meeting.
"I thought this was the Magical Girl group?" Shizuru Fujino asked.
"They meet alternate Tuesdays." Tanya said.
"Ah." Shizuru nodded thoughtfully. "Well, this is close enough I guess," she decided, sitting down at the table.
"How did I even GET here? This is my game avatar!" the tall, black haired woman asked. She was dressed in a skin tight black bodysuit and had a LOT of guns hanging off her.
"This bar is very weird. Try not to think about it too hard," Eve, the Wicked Queen noted, sitting nearby at the table.
"All right," Tanya said briskly, "I think we have enough people here. Please introduce yourselves." She cleared her throat, "I am Major General Tanya von Degurechaff, leader of the Germanic Empire of my Earth."
"My name is Shizuru Fujino, I'm a magical girl called a HIME," Shizuru introduced herself, the brown haired woman smiled coolly.
"I'm Tomoe Marguerite, a OTOME." the blue green haired girl said, giving Shizuru a ODD look. "Are you single, by any chance?"
"Not at all," Shizuru gave her a distainful look.
"Oooh, that is SO hot," Tomoe murmured, squirming a bit.
Everyone just ignored that.
The black clad woman with white skull face paint said to them flatly, "Harrowhawk (Harrow) Nonagesimus."
"Gideon Nav," the redhead sword user noted cheerfully, "her cavalier."
The woman dressed as a Disney Evil Queen rose, "I am Eve, formerly, the Evil Queen."
The woman in combat gear rose, "I'm Pitohui, just call me Pito."
"Alyce," the goth looking young woman said flatly, "called by some the Dark Grace."
After a moment Tanya said, "All right, let's begin the meeting." She asked, "Any news you feel the need to share?"
Eve noted, "There is a version of Sailor Venus who is travelling between various universes, she might be trouble for types like us."
"So just kill her," Tomoe noted dryly.
"Not a good idea," Tanya said, "you'd bring down the wrath of her Sailor Moon and their various allies."
"Hmph," Tomoe pouted.
"Best just to let her go through your realm unhindered," Eva agreed. "And she IS helpful in dealing with unruly monsters and such."
Harrow added sourly, "And speaking of Sailor Moon, their realm Crystal Tokyo continues to be a problem."
"Holier than thou bastards," Tanya nodded.
Eva nodded, "The only good thing, they MOSTLY stay in their own universe, and rarely act outside of it. Unless you hit them first."
"Hence leaving Sailor Venus alone," Shizuru nodded.
"Exactly," Gideon agreed. "Though I wanna fight her one time. I hear she's a sword user too."
"Damn it Griddle," Harrow sighed.
"Any other business to bring up?" Tanya checked with them. She nodded and continued, "All right, personal business..."
Before she could continue there was a loud banging on the door, then a tall women with red skin and demon horns entered. "Sorry I'm late," Hellgirl noted, puffing a cigar.
"SERIOUSLY? Rude demon," Eve sniffed.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Hellgirl just shrugged casually. She noticed Alyce and Pitohui, "Hey, you two are new. First time here?"
"You're an actual DEMON?' Pito blinked, shocked for the first time.
"She's the Queen of Hell, assuming she ever takes up the job," Tanya noted.
"Fuck THAT. The job sucks," Hellgirl sat, adjusting her demon tail and heavy, stone Right Hand of Doom. "Who's up for drinks later?" she asked.
"Meeting FIRST," Harrow scolded.
Tomoe got up, "I could use some advice... my Big Sister won't participate in my fetish for being a adult baby..."
There was a LONG beat of dead silence on that.
"No kink shaming," Tanya ordered everyone else.
"There's internet groups on that," Pito advised, "look for a match there."
"Or brainwash your Big Sister to do it," Eve offered.
"BAD EVE, consent is important," Harrow scolded.
"Thank you," Tomoe said, sitting down thoughtfully.
"Ha," Hellgirl chuckled, puffing her cigar.
Eve looked at Tanya, "I understand your universe is looking into dimension travel? Via magi-tech?"
"Well, yes," Tanya admitted. She was originally from a version of Japan, so she knew such travel was possible. Plus she wanted to track down God and punch him in the face. Long story...
"I need something like that," Eve admitted.
"To take over other universes?" Harrow asked dryly.
"No," Eve frowned at her, "to find the woman that saved me."
Eve had thought she was doomed to be a nameless 'Evil Queen' who died at the end of her story. Indeed, she seemed trapped in that role... until she tricked Zinnia Gray into falling into her universe. The rescuer of Sleeping Beauties, Zinnia figured out how to re-write the ending of Eve's tale, and even gave her a name of her own. And, without intending it, Eve fell in love.
"Awww," Hellgirl noted after she told her tale.
"We're still developing the tech," Tanya noted. "No organic transits, yet. But once we're ready, I'll contact you."
"Fair enough," Eve agreed.
Harrow stood, her expression as usual kind of flat. "As we discussed last time, I successfully killed God," she said flatly. "Only, I'm not sure what to do now."
"SHE KILLED GOD?!" Tomoe yelped.
"Her universe's God. Long story," Hellgirl noted.
"Relax and happily screw your slave-girl, Gideon?" Eve suggested.
"Hey!" Gideon yelped, blushing.
"There's still those rampaging monsters you told us about," Tanya noted, "Necrobeasts. And the other immortals who previously worked for God?"
"Hmm, point," Harrow conceded.
Shizuru took her turn, "I did some... extreme things to protect my Natsuki, and I'm finding it hard to get her to forgive me."
"What did you do?" Pito wondered.
"I wiped out an evil organization, killing them all," Shizuru admitted frankly.
"Ah," Pito nodded. She was beginning to realize she was VERY small change, compared to these crazy women, demons and monsters. Damn...
"Give it time," Tanya noted. "My Visha had a hard time accepting we had to wipe out our own High Command to end the war, but she did eventually."
"Didn't you two get married recently?" Hellgirl teased.
Tanya actually blushed a little.
"I also have romantic troubles," Alyce admitted. "The Princess Aurora and I are... close, but class and society bar our way."
"So burn the society down," Eve suggested bluntly.
"Eve, sometimes I think you really haven't changed your Evil Queen ways," Hellgirl noted.
"Eh," Eve shrugged.
Somewhat worryingly, Alyce looked like she was seriously considering the 'burn the society down' suggestion...
"All right," Tanya said briskly, "our hour's up. Who wants to hit the Locket for a drink?"
To be continued...
Notes: More novel based characters, this time. Thought it was time to give the sort of evil aligned characters a chance.
Major General Tanya von Degurechaff is an alternate version of Youjo Senki's main character, who took over her version of the Empire.
Shizuru Fujino is from Mai Hime.
Pitohui is from Gun Gale Online
Eve, the Wicked Queen is from A Mirror Mended by Alix Harrow
Tomoe Marguerite is from Mai Otome, and is a yandere infatuated with her universe's Shizuru.
Harrowhawk (Harrow) Nonagesimus and Gideon Nav are from The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. I have NOT read the latest book yet, and in general this appearance is NOT canon to what happens in the books.
Alyce is from Malice and Misrule, by Heather Walter
Hellgirl is a gender flipped version of Mike Mignola's Hellboy. One assumes she's an occult investigator like her male counterpart.
