Topic: How To Deal With A Nemesis
In: Boards ► Active Heroes
Magical Girl (Original Poster) (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Posted on April 11, 2011:
I'm sure there are a few heroes who have one.
Either a rival or opponent that continuously persists in annoying you by meddling whenever possible. I had the unfortunate chance of meeting mine yesterday, and I have no idea what to do about it.
Does anyone have any advice on getting rid of their nemesis?

Your beloved Student is here!
And it seems that we have another Earth Bet victim.
► Princess Shrine Maiden (Salendaria)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Magical Girl, you were just recently summoned right?
Have you contacted Manager and the others yet?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Not yet, but I'm planning to do so eventually.
It's been pretty hectic since I arrived, and I'm still getting my bearings.
► Hunter (Earth Aleph)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
I've heard a lot recently about how Manager is helpful to any summoned heroes on Earth Bet.
Honestly, I'm kinda envious that the heroes called there has that kind of support.
But then again, I have Magician and the Star Alloy Robots as companions.
► Peddler (Yuyuruu)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Hmm, so the Earth Aleph heroes have gathered together then.
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Huh, it's been a while since we heard from Magical Girl.
Is your nemesis someone from the Junk Empire?
► Shopkeeper (Duchy of Zistel)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
A nemesis, huh…
Can't say I've dealt with one before.
► Hunter (Earth Aleph)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
For a nemesis, normally it'd be someone like the Demon Lord right?
► Peddler (Yuyuruu)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Not necessarily.
It's true that a Demon Lord might be considered a powerful foe you have to defeat.
But usually, they only appear near the end of your journey and won't bother you otherwise.
In fact, I was able to establish a business relationship with my own Demon Lord.
Rather than a nemesis, I considered him an unknown threat until then.
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
I guess that's the same for me.
Even though I'm fighting the Destructive Pipe kingdom, it's mostly small enemies I face.
While I'm aware that there's supposedly a leader in charge, I have yet to meet them personally.

Replied on April 11, 2011:
For a nemesis, it's a bit different than regular enemies.
Rather than being the final bad, the relationship is more personal.
In that case, it's normally someone that you hate due to various reasons.
► Hunter (Earth Aleph)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
I mean… I get what you're all saying.
While I was a hero, the Demon Lord wasn't someone I hated.
He was just someone I knew I had to defeat if I wanted to get home.
► Shopkeeper (Duchy of Zistel)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
There are those who don't even fight Demon Lords too.
I was sent out to destroy the magic cores causing monsters to rampage.
But it was the humans that I had to worry about, especially some of the nobles.
► Princess Shrine Maiden (Salendaria)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
I guess most of us here are unfamiliar with having a nemesis.
But Magical Girl, exactly who are you talking about?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Ack… sorry, I'm busy right now!
She's attacking me again!
► Peddler (Yuyuruu)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Who's attacking you?
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Are you alright?!
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Damn it… I managed to drive her off.
Or rather, she fled once she realized it was futile.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
I'm guessing that your nemesis is the one who attacked.
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
That's right.
This will be the fourth time she tried to kill me.

Replied on April 11, 2011:
Hey now, that sounds bad.
► Princess Shrine Maiden (Salendaria)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Can you explain your circumstances please?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
To start off, I should mention that this is the Junk Empire's fault.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Those are the guys that you're tasked with defeating, right?
Was Veggievorn right when he guessed that your nemesis is related to them?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Somewhat.
It all began two nights ago.
I had just beaten their latest monster and was about to head home.
However, I suddenly sensed a new presence and went to investigate.
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Was that when you met your nemesis?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Not yet, that's still later on.
Instead, I found another Junk monster doing something.
I tried to intervene, but he did something weird at the last moment.
Next thing I knew, the two of us were suddenly sent somewhere else.
► Peddler (Yuyuruu)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
I assume that you were sent to Earth Bet?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
That's right, although I didn't know at the time.
But when we arrived, the place we were sent to wasn't empty.
► Hunter (Earth Aleph)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
What do you mean?

► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
A group of people were there when we were summoned.
The monster used up most of its energy to transport us, but he was still active.
Without thinking, I moved to defend them from being attacked.
► Princess Shrine Maiden (Salendaria)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Did anyone get hurt?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
No, and that's the twist.
Because I didn't realize that the group was not normal.
You know how there are people with superpowers on Earth Bet?
► Shopkeeper (Duchy of Zistel)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
No way… you can't mean…
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Everyone in that group had powers, and they were able to fight the monster easily.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Hahahaha… it's another Freeter situation!
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Those are some pretty unexpected odds.
► Peddler (Yuyuruu)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
But the question remains on how this led to you meeting your nemesis.
► Hunter (Earth Aleph)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Was it one of them?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
No, but they're involved.

Well, don't leave us hanging.
What happened next?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
You have to understand that it was chaotic when I appeared.
During the fight, I accidentally made contact with one of them without realizing it.
I didn't understand it at the time, but the girl I bumped into was different from the others.
► Peddler (Yuyuruu)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
How so?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
From the waist up, she appeared normal.
But below, she had a lower body that I can only describe as monstrous.
It didn't look natural in the slightest, but what happened next made things worse.
► Shopkeeper (Duchy of Zistel)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Sheesh, how bad could it be?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
She gave birth to an evil clone of me.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Huh?
► Peddler (Yuyuruu)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
What?
► Shopkeeper (Duchy of Zistel)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Say that again?
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
An evil clone…?

► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
At first, it only barely resembled me.
It was distorted and hardly looked human.
But upon seeing it, the monster suddenly got excited.
Using its remaining power, it sacrificed itself to grant the clone a blessing.
► Hunter (Earth Aleph)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Hold on, the monster gave up its life to bless the clone?
Why would it do that?
► Princess Shrine Maiden (Salendaria)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
It's not that unusual when you think about it.
Sometimes your enemies give up their lives if they believe it is worth it.
After all, Prince had something similar happen to him when he became immortal.
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Whatever its intentions, the result was unbelievable.
Empowered by the last of the monster's strength, the clone began to change.
From looking like a vague humanoid of mutated flesh, the clone started to look like me.
An appearance similar to me except with flowing black hair and dark skin, she began to transform.
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Transform?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
A transformation scene began as clothes began to form around her.
It was similar to my transformation, except her outfit was a lot darker and revealing.
And since she was a clone of me, seeing myself wear skimpy clothing was honestly painful.
► Shopkeeper (Duchy of Zistel)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Umm…
► Peddler (Yuyuruu)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
That's…
► Princess Shrine Maiden (Salendaria)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Skimpy…?
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Once she finished changing, she finally introduced herself:
"A woman's figure is bountiful with excess meat!"
"Rotisseur Mignon!"

B-Bountiful… !?

Replied on April 11, 2011:
Oh dear…
Princess Shrine Maiden, calm down.
► Peddler (Yuyuruu)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
I can understand her worry.
If she's anything like Bewitching Maid…
► Student (Global State)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Oh god, I'm dying of laughter!
It actually happened, a Dark Magical Girl!
► Hunter (Earth Aleph)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Erm, I'm a bit confused.
What do you mean by Dark Magical Girl?
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
It's basically a dark parody of the standard magical girl trope.
Instead of fighting for love and justice, they're pretty much the opposite.
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Emphasis on opposite!
Right after she introduced herself, she started to flirt and talk vulgarly with the others.
Not to mention that she kept swaying while doing suggestive motions while she had my appearance!
► Princess Shrine Maiden (Salendaria)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Kuh…!
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
The moment I tried telling her off, she started to attack me.
I was forced to flee the area, but she continued her pursuit after me.
Ever since then, she's been trying to kill me at any chance she could get.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Yeah, I can see how she would be considered a nemesis.

It's driving me mad!
And it's not like I can kill her either!
Ughh, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do!
► Princess Shrine Maiden (Salendaria)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
I think… I'm gonna take my leave and take some restoratives.
► Peddler (Yuyuruu)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
I suppose drinking is all we can offer.
► Hunter (Earth Aleph)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Maybe I should join too.
► Shopkeeper (Duchy of Zistel)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
There's a time when a good drink can wash away all worries.
► Veggievorn (Parallel Universe #4)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Good luck…
► Student (Global State)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
Don't give up, try seeing if there's a way to talk things out.
Who knows, maybe Dark Magical Girl will end up being your friend if you do.
► Magical Girl (Axis Phase Earth→Earth Bet)
Replied on April 11, 2011:
There's no way that's happening!
Ugh, I'll try and see if I can meet with Manager before she attacks me again…
End of Page. 1, 2, 3… 5, 6, 7, 8
Yup, the enemy is an evil clone made due to Noelle's power. Dark Magical Girl is basically an original character, and she wields the power of Junk due to the monster's blessing. Instead of being powered by sweets and sugar, Dark Magical Girl is powered by meat and fast food.
I thought about having one of the Worm characters turn into a dark version of Magical Girl at first, but considered my options. My first candidate was Noelle, using the power of Junk to return to a human form but also with new powers. Next, I tried imagining other members of the Travelers like Sundancer or Genesis. I also considered Panacea, due to her powers being related to biology. And for some reason, I even contemplated using Contessa as a magical girl.
In the end, I went with the evil clone idea instead.
