The thunder roared through the window, the trees rustled against the windows, Sucy cackled madly stirring the mixture in the cauldron, "It's finally finished, after making Kenji search for an obscure amount of ingredients I finally have it!" She devilishly grinned twirling the bottle in her hands.
'I probably should give this to Kenji to help him out with magic'
'But I won't!'
She went to down the drink before stopping a second before, "Wait I should probably test this first," Grinning to herself Sucy opened up Akko's mouth preparing to pour it.
'Wait if I test it on Akko and it actually work, she'll be good at magic...'
"Eh I'll just drink it," Shrugging nonchalantly she downed the entire contents of the drink.
'I can finally make the best potions in the world'
Kenji woke up groggily rubbing his tired eyes as he threw his covers off the bed, lifting his head up from the bed he once again smacked the wooden board across his head, "Dammit every goddam morning!" He groaned in pain rubbing his now sore head.
'It makes sense, they did give me this room on short notice but I've hit my head on that almost every morning!'
He checked his phone on the makeshift shelf his eyes widening at the time, 'Shit, shit, shit shit!'
Jumping from the bed, Kenji sporadically grabbed at the clothes in his closet, "Damn I'm late, Miss Finnelan's gonna kill me!" As he was about to leave the room his swiped at the crystal on the shelf wrapping the tied string around on his neck.
He sprinted through the halls making his way to class, skidding to a halt he could hear screaming and shouting coming from the room next to him, 'Of course it's the room of course it is!'
"Akko, Lotte can I come in are you decent?" Kenji asked a small blush appearing on his face.
'Don't think about don't think about it'
"Y-Yeah you can come in Kenji we're just having a problem with Sucy," Lotte replied sheepishly.
'Everything Sucy does is a problem...'
"So, what has she done now-"
"Eh she's just sleeping?!" He exclaimed.
He held back a chuckle at the way Sucy slept like a dead corpse, "Um why does Akko have a what is that?" Kenji queried pointing at the piece of metal in her mouth.
"I don't know, I've been trying to wake her up for a while but that's normal its Sucy I'm worried about," Lotte explained anxiously gesturing to the silent sleeping girl.
"You sure she hasn't just made a potion that puts her in a deep sleep to skip class?" Kenji reassured observing her face and the empty potion bottles spurred across her desk.
Akko snorted awake spitting out the instrument in her mouth, "Are we late!" She yelled jolting around the room somehow putting on her school uniform in the blink of an eye.
"Why didn't any of you take that thing out of my mouth!" She whined pulling on Kenji's collar angrily.
"I don't wanna touch your mouth that's why!" Kenji bit back lightly hitting her on the head.
Kenji turned back to Lotte who was still nervously looking at Sucy, "C'mon Lotte, Sucy's just being lazy we've got to get to class or Miss Finnelan will kill us," Akko spoke up darting out the room.
'She forgot her bag seriously airheads...'
Diana fiddled with the wand in her hand anxiously waiting for the school bell to ring out ending the class, "Lotte do you really wanna check up on Sucy again, I'm telling you she's just being lazy!" Akko exclaimed loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.
"For once I actually agree with the airhead, skipping class just to go look for more mushrooms is definitely something she would do," Kenji added dryly pulling the crystal from under his shirt.
"Kenji have you found anything out about that crystal yet?" Diana looked up "at the words her attention now on him.
Kenji visibly sighed his entire body sagging onto the desk, "No there was a lot of stuff on the Fountain of Polaris, but it just explained the same exposition Akko gave me..."
"Sorry..." Akko said sheepishly sinking down into the desk as well.
Suddenly, the school bell rung snapping Diana from what she was doing, "Diana you coming don't you have your clubs after this?" Barbara asked walking behind her.
"R-Right y-yeah I do but I need to do something first, I'll see you later girls," She stammered already rushing out of the classroom.
"What's up with her?" Hannah raised an eyebrow.
"Dunno maybe she got asked to do something by one of the teachers again she is amazing," Barbara suggested.
The platinum blonde speed walked through the halls her eyes glued to the back of Kenji's head, "God the history of magic is so boring, you'd think it'd be cool but there's so much politics!" Akko whined pulling on her face.
"Eh I'd say it's better than history in my world...so much war," Kenji cringed frowning to himself.
"I'm still worried about Sucy you two..." Lotte spoke up anxiously.
Akko and Kenji both stopped talking turning to the redhead, "Alright we're at your room anyway let's check on her," Kenji suggested gesturing at the door.
The brunette kicked open the door in excitement, "Sucy you can't just sleep in here all day-ah what happened!" Akko shrieked.
Surrounding the entire room was mushrooms of all shapes and sizes, they were growing from Sucy close to covering the entire room, "Sucy this isn't funny anymore you need to wake up and get rid of all these mushrooms!" Akko pleaded rapidly shaking Sucy's sleeping body.
"Wow she didn't even react to the word mushroom..." Akko said in shock.
"Maybe she's dead...I call dibs on her ingredients," Kenji joked getting a cold glare from Lotte.
"Sorry, sorry..."
Akko pressed her ear against her chest sighing in relief, "Nope she's alive!"
'What are they even doing in there?' Diana questioned peaking around the corner of the room.
"Girls I don't think she's gonna wake up we should probably go and get a teacher as much as it pains me to," Kenji said begrudgingly causing Akko to dart out the room.
"Wait you two, I think Kenji was right when he said Sucy was making something and I think her potion went wrong..." Lotte said anxiously picking up the bottle from the floor.
'Now that I think about it, if we went to the teachers about this, they'd definitely put the blame on us, especially since we literally ordered pizza in detention yesterday...'
Placing his hand on both of the girls' shoulders Kenji nodded his head to what Lotte had said, "We'll deal with this ourselves, remember what Miss Finnelan told us today..."
Akko and Lotte both visibly flinched.
"That's right Miss Ursula isn't in to do detention."
"We'll solve this just fine!" Akko agreed.
"Yep, we can wake Sucy up!" Lotte nodded.
Diana pouted in annoyance finally entering the room, "Fine I s-suppose I can help you, spells like these can be easily fixed!" She spoke up glancing around the room smiling at a book on the shelf.
"Um your face is looking a little red there Diana..." Kenji smirked at her red face turning darker.
'Cute..'
"Your gonna help us Diana, that's strange I thought you didn't like us?" Akko queried.
"I never said that, your abrasiveness just irritates me however Kenji still needs to get home so getting in trouble would get in his way of that," Diana lied coughing into her hand picking up the book from Lotte's shelf.
"Me I mean I am struggling with getting home but...thanks Diana I appreciate the help!" Kenji grinned.
All of a sudden, the mushrooms in the room suddenly started to grow rapidly pushing the three of them to the roof, "Shit there growing so fast all of a sudden!" Kenji groaned his face being pushed against it.
"We have to hurry and perform the spell right now who's going to go into her mind?" Diana questioned brandishing her wand.
"I will!" Akko and Kenji said in unison.
'Eh what are you doing Akko I'm the main character of this story not you!'
"Alright you two get ready and wake her up!" Diana ordered reading from the book.
"Diana, I'm putting you in charge of making sure no one comes in here, I'm putting my trust in you!" Kenji spoke up.
'H-He's putting his trust in me...'
"R-Right!" She nodded.
"Myondemenne Hyboute, Myondemenne Hyboute," She chanted the light around her wand forming into a bat.
"Myondemenne Hyboute!" She wacked the two of them round the head knocking them unconscious.
"Shit that hurt what hell!" Kenji screamed.
"I know how's that supposed to help, I told she still hates us!" Akko agreed rubbing the bruise on her head.
'Wait where the hell are we?'
All around the two of them was mushrooms all tall as building, "What in god's name does this girl have with mushrooms!" Kenji cried out pulling at his hair in confusion.
"C'mon Kenji this is Sucy we're talking about, we're here now so let's get going!" Akko yelled cheerfully.
"Alright alright," Kenji chuckled dryly.
Akko ignored his sarcastic comment admiring the small mushrooms marching down the pathway, "AWWWW there so cutttteeeeee!" She cooed picking one of them up rubbing them against her cheek.
Grumbling to himself, Kenji chopped the back of her head lightly, "We're supposed to be looking for the real Sucy although I can't imagine it being that hard," He explained about to speak up again before he felt a sudden pain jolting through his side, "OW Akko I'm sorry for hitting you ok!"
"It wasn't me besides your allowed to slap me!" Akko huffed from behind him.
"It was me Sucy!" A familiar voice spoke up.
'What the hell...heh I'm so funny'
"DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE!" The devil Sucy repeated stabbing her pitchfork into Akko's side.
Kenji watched a cocky grin across his face.
The scene continued on as Akko was threated by an angel like Sucy, "Alright as amusing as this is watching a rundown episode of Lucifer do you two have any idea where the actual Sucy is?" Kenji questioned the two Sucy's finally listening.
"I suppose we could help you but what would be in it for us?" Angel Sucy questioned tilting her head at him.
It seemed as if a lightbulb clicked above devil Sucy, "Why doesn't Akko do all Sucy's homework and cleaning for a whole month!" She grinned widely.
"Eh why me!" The brunette cried.
'What kind of abuse does this fanfic have against Akko'
"No, as funny as that would be I'll do her homework and cleaning," Kenji begrudgingly accepted.
Akko fell to her knees dramatically crying, "Kenji you really do have a heart I thought you we're just a cocky guy who was sometimes smart and charming!" She sobbed.
'Careful I'll easily change my mind...'
"So where exactly is the original Sucy?" Akko asked getting back up throwing her arms over her head.
"It's not too far..." She paused, "Just at that giant mushroom," Angel Sucy grinned.
"If you weren't showing us the way I'd do things that aren't family friendly!" Kenji clicked his knuckles aggressively.
"It wouldn't be a problem if just one of you could ride a broom!" Devil Sucy bit back.
As the two began walking, Kenji caught sight of more Sucy's ahead of him, "Quick question, just how many Sucy's are there?"
"We'll all of them are just small parts of her personality so there could be thousands here," Angel Sucy responded nonchalantly.
Kenji turned to the admiration in Akko's eyes, 'Don't you dare ask...'
"So, how many Sucy's are there?" She asked.
'Damn it!'
"There's: Possessive Sucy who loves mushrooms, angry Sucy, materialistic Sucy, fangirl Sucy and of course the Sucy who just wants to entertain," They both listed.
"Y-You can't be serious r-right, I refuse to believe that Sucy wants to entertain people, I mean maybe at her funeral..." Kenji went off on a tangent placing his hand on his chin.
"Don't be so stingy Kenji it's cool to see so many sides of Sucy!" Akko exclaimed skipping over to a Llama looking version of her.
"Oh, that's the Sucy..." In a matter of seconds Sucy spat onto Akko.
"That's the Sucy that likes to spit on people," Kenji couldn't help but snicker at what she said handing Akko a cloth from his pocket.
Before, they could continue Akko spotted a small child like Sucy walking over to her, "This is creepy on so many levels I don't want to see Sucy as a child..." Kenji grimaced his face slightly turning.
"This won't end well, will it?" Kenji turned to both of the floating Sucy's getting a nod in return.
As expected, a police car speeded up the small girl trapping her in handcuffs throwing her into the car, "Where are they taking her!?" Akko exclaimed an anxious look in her eyes.
"To the courtroom," Devil Sucy blankly replied.
"Shit..." Akko and Kenji said in unison.
As if by magic the two of them appeared in a courtroom watching a judge Sucy smacking her gavel against the podium, "So come here often?" Kenji joked to the Sucy next to him sitting himself down.
"Talk to me again and I'll skin you," She said blatantly her face twisting into disgust at him.
All of a sudden, several Sucy's stepped up facing the judge, "What's going on?" Akko queried the two Sucy's.
"All of these Sucy's have been sent here to be judged whether or not their worthy of becoming part of her personality," Devil Sucy explained.
"Why does Sucy's brain look like communism..." Kenji said dryly.
"And cruel!" Akko added her eyes catching the child like Sucy from before now standing at the podium.
The little girl went to speak up but was immediately interrupted by the judge, "Terminate!" She ordered about to slam her gavel down.
"Hold it!" Kenji exclaimed as Akko held the gavel just before it could hit the desk.
'Time to bring out what I've learnt from Ace Attorney!'
However, before Kenji could even speak up, Akko snatched the gavel away from the judge belting insults at her.
"H-Hey Akko what are you doing your going to get us killed and based on the films I've watched I don't want to think about what would happen if we do!" Kenji whisper yelled at her.
"Who are you two?" Judge Sucy asked.
"Velma Dinkley..." Kenji said sounding as dead inside as possible.
"I'm Atsuko Kagari!"
"TERMINATE!" She yelled grabbing the gavel slamming it into the podium.
"Why Akko why!" Kenji cried trying to take the barricades around his wrists off.
"I couldn't stand there and do nothing!" She argued.
"Yeah, but I had it handled you only made it worse!" Akku yelled making Akko's face turn pouty.
"Well, I'm sorry I'm so abrasive maybe you'd prefer Diana then..." She murmured sulking.
"What was that?" Kenji asked still annoyed.
"Nothing."
"You really are stupid, it's not like I expected Kenji to actually do anything like he could-"
"Hey get to the point where you bully Akko, please."
"But you just jumped right in without thinking and now you're gonna get killed!" Devil Sucy cackled getting snatched up by Akko's mouth.
"If you're gonna run your mouth then you can at least be helpful about it!" Akko voice was muffled as she stabbed the pitchfork into her keyhole undoing her locks.
"Just so you know, Akko you just got lucky alright..." Kenji spoke up already able to see her ego growing.
"Yeah, yeah whatever do you want me to let you out or not?" Kenji sheepishly nodded holding the barricades out to her.
After being freed, Kenji caught sight of the top of the hill spotting a guillotine, "Alright Akko if you wanna save that Sucy you like so much then we need to hurry!" Kenji yelled already sprinting up the hill watching the guillotine knife fall down.
'I'm not gonna make it in time'
Suddenly, Akko dashed past him jumping out under the knife catching it just before it could cut her, Kenji followed after her stealing an axe from one of the butchers like Sucy.
'More like Pyramid-head Sucy...'
"What do you two think you're doing?" Pyramid-head Sucy asked glaring at him.
"W-Well I'm kind of just rolling with it at this point, also this is just...wrong," Kenji gestured to the number of chained up Sucy's.
"Yeah, Kenji's right you can't treat people like this!" Akko whined cutting away all the barricades around the Sucy's, "N-Now we should probably run..." She suggested earning a facepalm from Kenji.
'She's actually going to be the death of me...'
"Byeeeee!" Akko waved off the other Sucy's.
'What's even happening anymore...'
Kenji sighed stumbling behind the now chattering Akko, "Hey Kenji hurry up we're gonna hitch hike!" The brunette gave a toothy grin almost bringing a blush to his face.
It quickly went away when he realized what she'd just said.
"I'm sorry hitch hike we're literally in someone subconscious Akko who's gonna give us a ride!?" Akku screamed in frustration pulling at his hair.
"Careful, Kenji you might go bald..." Akko mocked.
Diana watched Kenji's face scrunch up in annoyance in his sleep, "W-Well maybe he's uncomfortable sleeping next to Akko yeah that's it!" Diana stuttered scooting him further away from the sleeping girl.
Lotte stared in confusion at what she was doing.
'That doesn't make...any sense'
"Ahhhh, Diana the mushrooms there growing on my fingers!" Lotte cried out.
"Those two need to hurry or they'll get out of the room soon!" Diana said anxiously glancing to the door.
"Don't look at me like that Akko!" Kenji barked unable to bear the brunette's cocky smirk any longer.
"But didn't you say that there was NO way to hitch hike in Sucy's subconscious?" Akko batted her eyelashes faking innocence.
Kenji simply turned away from her leaning over the window catching sight of what looked a cinema screen.
'I might get Sucy some serious counselling after this...'
The car they were in parked itself in the outside cinema, "What kind of films would they even be playing here?" Kenji questioned out loud not noticing how close Akko had seated herself next to him.
"D-Dunno maybe it'll be Sucy's dreams?" She suggested her body turning stiff.
'What's up with her?'
As the screen turned on, it showed what looked like Diana snobbishly walked past the students her nose protruding upwards, "Is that Diana, if she saw this, she'd get so mad!" Akko giggled.
"This is how she sees Diana...pfffffffff!" Kenji blurted out in laughter kicking his legs up holding his sides.
'That's actually amazing!'
The screen shifted to show what looked an old Disney caricature of Akko trying to ride a broom, "Kenji if I hear a single laugh from you, I'll tell everyone you did something perverted while we were in here," Akko threatened staring at the screen with a death glare.
"Y-You g-got it..." He nervously replied.
It changed once again now showing Kenji struggling to make potions, "Why is my hair a mushroom!?" He exclaimed at the screen.
"I don't know your hair does kind of look like one," Devil Sucy cackled receiving a flick in the head from Kenji.
'What the hell's happening in this film!?'
Lotte was seen now having mushrooms for fingers, soon turning the whole school into a fiery inferno, "What in god's name was that!" Kenji yelled out loud in confusion.
"Is that's what's going to happen if we don't wake up Sucy?" Akko pulled on her face.
"HAAHAHAAAHHAAA!" The child like Sucy cackled evilly.
"What are you laughing at this is horrible!" Akko yelled angrily.
"But isn't that what makes it hilarious!?" She gave a wide-open smile laughing once again.
"Akko I'm getting a bad feeling let's just ditch her and go!" Kenji suggested grabbing her hand.
"No what's she laughing at is terrible!" Akko insisted.
The small Sucy tilted her head creepily her grin turning uncomfortable big, "But isn't that what makes it so funny!" She said in a low voice sprouting three head growing in size.
Kenji wasted no time grabbing the steering wheel and pressing down onto the pedals accelerating the car through the cinema screen and out of the dark shadow, "What the hell is that, how is that a version of Sucy!" Kenji shrieked manoeuvring around the crashing debris.
"Everyone as dark thoughts and desires the only thing is that we all hold them back, but with two unwanted people in her subconscious Sucy's let it out!" Angel Sucy explained.
"If you don't wake her up this entire subconscious will be destroyed!"
'That's cliche...'
"C'mon Kenji hurry it up we've gotta go!" Akko tugged on his shoulders in fear.
"My foot is pretty much out of the car Akko I'm going as fast as literally possible!" Kenji barked driving off a ramp smashing through the towering mushroom building speeding past several rooms.
"Which one of these is Sucy's room!"
Skidding the car into the wall slamming it into a wall throwing Akko out of it, "You look for Sucy, I'll try not to die and hold off this monster," Kenji said with no confident whatsoever.
Driving off in the car, Kenji dashed back to the monster, "Hey Sucy look it's a giant mushroom!" Showing off a mushroom from his pocket caught the attention of the Sucy monster.
It lunged its hand at the car tearing off the entire two back wheels sparking the metal against the ground, 'Hurry it up Akko!'
As another arm grinded against the ramp the floor crumbling beneath him, Kenji jumped out of the car barely dodging a fall piece of rubble, "Kenji I've found her room hurry!" Akko yelled a few floors above him.
Once he'd made it there the two barged through the door revealing a path of a thorny vines ahead of them, "Seriously what the hell is up with Sucy d-does she need help?" Kenji questioned pushing through the vines.
"There she is up there!" Akko spoke up pointing to the sleeping Sucy above a hill of thorns.
An arm reached through the door to Sucy's room grabbing at the two, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Kenji muttered to himself pulling Akko up the hill by her hand.
"Alright now what do we do!?" Kenji pestered rapidly shaking the sleeping girl.
"U-Um Kenji?" Akko spoke up bashfully.
"Not now Akko unless you know how to wake Sucy up..." He shooed her off still shaking Sucy.
"N-No i-it's just y-your h-hand," Akko stammered a red blush across her face.
'Shit...she's cute!'
"R-R-Right s-sorry," Kenji quickly pulled his hand away from hers.
Akko pulled out all the potions she'd been given by Lotte, "Kenji swallow all these!" She insisted.
"What why?"
"So, you can give them all to Sucy!" Akko explained shoving the bottles in his face.
"D-Do y-you r-realize what y-you just s-said!" Kenji shouted incredibly flustered, he sighed at the oblivious look across her face, "I'll h-have to kiss her Akko you understand!"
It was as if, Akko switched off for a few seconds before starting back up, "U-U-U-U-U-Uh!" She stammered repeatedly.
The Sucy monster suddenly smashed through the wall getting closer to the two, "Look Akko let's avoid the embarrassment for now and just give these to Sucy!" Kenji pushed them onto Akko watching as she quickly downed them all.
With a red blush still across her face, Akko moved her face closer and closer to Sucy's, "Don't even think about it..." The mauve haired girl suddenly woke up pushing Akko's face into the ground.
"Sucy your awake!" Akko cried wrapping her arms around her tightly.
"It's good to see your awake!" Kenji grinned sighing in relief.
A hand reached at the three as a bright green light enveloped the entire room.
"Eh what happened?" Kenji said groggily rubbing his eyes.
"Kenji your awake, you knocked on the door and suddenly fell asleep I was having enough trouble waking up Akko!" Lotte exclaimed as the brunette snorted waking up.
The mushrooms that had been slowly growing bigger around the room had completely disappeared, "What happened I thought we were in Sucy's brain..." He spoke picking himself up.
"Yeah, we we're supposed to wake her up, did we?" Akko added hitting her head against the ladder.
"I don't know what you two are talking about although you're right about me not being able to wake Sucy up," Lotte replied.
Akko leaped from her bed onto Sucy's, "Nooo Sucy you have to wake up now c'mon please!" Tears formed in her crimson eyes; a hand slammed her head against her bed.
"Shut up it's too early," She groaned.
"Oh, thank god!" Kenji sighed smiling.
Akko hugged tightly on her much to her dismay, "Get off me!"
"We've gotta get to class or else Miss Finnelan will get mad at us again," Lotte spoke up causing the group to rush out the door.
Once, they opened it they stopped at the sight of Diana, "Diana?" Akko questioned quizzically.
"O-Oh A-Akko and K-Kenji what a coincidence since you're late I guess I can bring you to class!" Diana spoke incredibly fast coughing into her hand.
"But isn't your dorm nowhere near ours-"
Sucy was cut off as Diana nervously laughed above her, "Let's go then!" She yelled.
Kenji played with the crystal on his chest ignoring what Akko was saying next to him, 'Was it really all a dream?'
