Alright, so I hope you all enjoy the conclusion to this story. Perhaps I will illustrate the chapters when I get back to Vegas :D Ew… there's snot on the keyboard… vbnm sadfsdagffghjmb ghjnvb

There, I wiped all the snot off :) Enjoy the story!


Mandy was sitting in a chair she had Grim bring to her; it was a very extravagant antique brought from Italy. She was watching the land below her large rocky turret, supervising a few demons that were setting up a device with which Mandy's voice would be able to reach the entire world. Beside her, Grim stood with an expression of anxiety, his brow creased with worry as he watched his 'best friend'. Although she was a very capable and bold little girl, never did he think that she would actually go to this and take over the world, especially at her age. But then again… he was surprised she didn't do it sooner.

Junior was watching the doom taking place below with pure excitement, his grin revealing sharp teeth. His head was hanging over the cliff in his joy; if he were a dog, his tail would have wagged itself off by now. "Yes… finally, a world that will respect me!" He turned around, facing Mandy and stepping towards her. The flames that engulfed almost the entire world below danced behind him, glowing brightly; however, this was not enough to make the cold Mandy blink or even squint. This was her fire, her destruction… she need not buckle before it.

Grim had glanced over to Junior when a light bulb turned on in his head. "Er, Mandy, do you remember where we left Billy?" He asked, sounding a tad bit concerned for the boy.

Mandy raised an eyebrow, thinking about her dim-witted playmate. "He's somewhere in the Underworld." Mandy concluded, gazing at Grim, "he'll be fine… but I guess we should go and fetch him out of there eventually."

Grim shrugged, smiling, "Nah, I think he'd be better down there… don't you think?"

Mandy did not respond, Grim blushing. "Er… well, he wouldn't cause any trouble for us if he's down there and we're up here."

Mandy finally nodded, "yes… but I'd like to have him up here at least after I've announced my reign to the world."

Grim grinned, nudging Mandy playfully, "yah, can't stand being away from Billy for that long, eh?"

At this comment, Mandy swiftly dealt a punch to Grim's head, "That's not true at all. I just need someone to entertain me besides you and Freakazoid over there."

Grim rubbed his throbbing head, "I was only joking…" he mumbled, turning as he saw Junior approaching from the corner of his eye.

Nergal Junior bowed his head to Mandy, smiling a wicked smile. "My dear Mandy," he began, his sinister eyes fixated onto hers, "without your evil nature we could have never accomplished what we have. Nothing can compare to your merciless nature, your lack of heart would make any soul shudder… and yet, though your threatening personality is certainly the most dangerous thing I've ever known, I can not help but be drawn in, to be captured in what you would think is the opposite of charming." He paused, his grin stretching. Mandy merely stared with little desire for him to continue. Grim watched Junior in shock, wondering what this little weirdo would come out with next. He certainly wasn't acting like the pathetic, friendly little demon he knew beforehand. But what Junior did next surprised Grim the most.

The shape-shifter inched closer to Mandy, leaning over into her huge throne so that his face was not even an inch from her own. His hands slipped onto the chair's arms, sliding over onto Mandy's hands. Junior stared into Mandy's eyes, Mandy returning his gesture with a look of indifference, her expression the same as it would be as if she was merely watching Billy doing something stupid as usual.

Ignoring Grim, who had swallowed very loudly and was beginning to twitch, Junior whispered, "Mandy, would you give me the honor of being my Queen?" He watched Mandy with lust as he waited for his answer. Mandy still had her blank expression, but this did not intimidate Junior.

Beside them, Grim was backing away very slowly, his hands clasped over his mouth as if he was about to vomit.


"HEHEHEHE!" Billy guffawed, his finger still poking at the rock beside him ferociously. In fact, it was so ferocious that his finger had dug a tiny but long tunnel into the rock, so that the rest of Billy's hand was punching into the rock now as well. What Billy was unaware of was that his hand was now swelling to a very large size, and various bones were poking out of purple, blue and red places. Around him a crowd of demons had accumulated, watching the weird little human poke through the rock.

"Go! Go! Go! Go!" The crowd chanted as if watching a sport, egging the oblivious Billy on.

Billy, excited and having the time of his life, began poking faster and harder, the little tunnel he had created growing bigger, his arm now reaching inside the rock.


Meanwhile, in the Center of the Earth, a letter had arrived.

"What's this? A message from Junior?" A black demon with big yellow eyes held an envelope in his hands, a woman with red hair and a pair of glasses perched on her big nose standing behind him.

"What does it say, Sweetie?" She asked in a slightly nasally, drone-y voice.

Nergal opened the envelope, curious as his wife. "It says… hm… aw, how very thoughtful!" Nergal exclaimed, neglecting to read the letter out loud. "Here, read it for yourself honey!" He handed the letter over to Sis and watched her read it.

Dear Dad,

For your birthday, I got you something I hope you will like. I have taken over the world. You can have anything you want now. You can have all the friends you want and all the fun you want. I'll be enslaving all man-kind if you need me.

Hope to see you up here soon!

Your son,

Junior

Sis blinked, contemplating. "Don't you see!" Nergal said, putting his arm around his spouse, "Junior wanted to impress us by saying he took over the world! Isn't that sweet? I bet he's got his own little globe with fire painted on!" He chuckled at the thought. "It's not like I'd want a whole world anyway! I've got a family, haven't I? Besides, too much responsibilities go into ruling the world. I was just hoping Junior would skip school for my birthday!"


Back at the surface of Earth…

"Let me explain something to you, Junior." Mandy shoved Junior off of her, displeased with his behavior. "I am no one's Queen. I will never be anyone's Queen." She hopped off her chair, Junior backing away, blushing a bit sheepishly. "Another thing-don't EVER get that close to me. I'd rather not have to look at your face at all, but especially not up-close." Mandy walked forward, Junior backing up for every step Mandy took towards him. "And I think you do need to know- you are no good at flattering." Junior stopped abruptly, finding himself at the very edge of the rock they were on. Mandy stopped as well, looking over the side and then back at Junior. "By the way…" She grabbed the collar of his shirt, her glare bearing into his eyes, "WE did not take over the world, WE did not accomplish anything. I took over the world, I am the accomplisher. You are nothing." Mandy was pushing Junior away, his feet just barely touching the rock now, the rest of him hanging off the edge. "And now, it is time for you to take your rightful place in MY world." She did not spare Junior another moment; and shoved him off the edge, his scream fading before very long.

Mandy turned around to face Grim, walking back to her seat. Grim's mouth had dropped open; he had only managed to distance himself a few yards away from the two before he was awestruck by Mandy's own motive. "What're you doing, bone-head? I don't think you'll be jumping off anytime soon." Grim realized what she meant at once, and returned to his place directly beside Mandy and her throne. She talked to the Reaper without looking at him, "I want you to find Billy and bring him here. I was going to use Junior as a footstool, but I have a feeling we're not going to see him any time soon."

Grim nodded, sighing before taking his scythe from its place beside Mandy and disappearing.


Billy was still set at poking the rock, although he had slowed down considerably. The demons that had gathered around him were still all watching, but most of them had decided to multi-task. Some where playing checkers and other board games or as some liked to say, 'bored' games; others had their own toys to play games with, such as Flame Rope where you jump a flaming rope and Exploding Scotch where you have to jump into the squares accordingly or else your feet blow up.

Billy had been using his whole body to poke at the rock now, his face a mangled mess. He had made a very impressive tunnel through the rock, though.

"Billy!" Grim had spotted the boy, and was rushing towards him. "There you are! Wow… closer than I thought too…"

"Grim!" Billy shouted, ceasing his odd way of poking a rock.

"You've got to co- eww…" Grim grimaced at Billy's condition, who was pretty unrecognizable at this point.

"What were you sayin', Grim?" Billy asked, wondering why he had stopped in mid-sentence. "'you've got to cow?' Because I've already gone to the bathroom…"

"No, no, Billy! Mandy wants you to come up to her." He explained, still getting over Billy's demented appearance.

"Oh… well… I just gotta finish pokin' this rock!" Billy exclaimed, smiling. He ran towards the end of his tunnel.

"Hmm…" Grim muttered, thinking. "Isn't this where Mandy…" Grim gasped, realizing that this rock was the one that Mandy was on. "Billy! WAIT!"

"Just one more poke, Grim!" Billy shouted back, and lifted his crushed finger.

"NOO! BILLY!"

Poke.

"B-b-b-b-biilllyyyy!" Grim attempted to shout, his voice shaken by the sudden violent rumble that was surging through the ground.

Billy tumbled out of the tunnel. "Okay, we can go now!"

The very ceiling of the Underworld was crumbling, the rock Billy had been poking crashing down. "Wow, Grim! It's a LIGHT SHOW!" Billy sat down to watch, Grim horrified. The fire from Earth's surface was being sucked back into the Underworld, the demons and chaos along with it.

"We've got to get out of here!" Grim said, grabbing Billy and forming a blue shield around them like the one he had conjured when the mine that the giant chickens were living was caving in.

"What 'bout Mandy?" Billy asked, but there was no time to answer. There was much crashing and crumbling and rumbling and smashing as, it seemed to Grim and Billy, the whole world came to an end.

Then, after a few minutes passed, the dust cleared…

Billy and Grim were in front of the school, which was reduced to ruin. The shield around them disappeared, and the two looked around. The sky was blue, no fire in sight. The neighborhood was destroyed, but at least the doom had passed. The city of Endsville was no pretty sight, but it was as close to normal as it could get at this point.

Grim looked down at Billy, "That was weird; first we're in the Underworld and then we're back up here."

Billy nodded, "Yeah, but uh… where's Mandy?"

A sharp whistling noise indicated that something was falling, and the two looked up.

"YIKES!" Grim and Billy both shouted, but were too slow and the falling object landed right on top of them.

Mandy stood up, covered in ash and blackened from the fire. She looked down at the two she had fallen on, and concluded in her sarcastic drone, "Whoops."


Yep… that's the end. A bit longer than I expected, but it satisfies myself. I'll let your little imaginations cook up what little questions have been left hanging ;D I hope you all enjoyed the story. It's been fun writing it and reading all your pathetic, er, pretty little reviews.

Thank you all!
