Announcement:

This and the next few chapters (eventually posting at times) have been coming for a long time, again, and I figured while I worked on my fics, I would also work on my others as well; which includes this.

There isn't much to say as I plan to maybe make this very chapter as chapters, so if you have suggestions or anything and do expect the unexpected as I plan to make two or more chapters of this story, and also work on more "Beauty and the Witch Sister", soon, and a few older ones as well, and to look forward to a few new projects as well (possibly close to the end of the year for that) alongside letting ya guys know I will be correcting the other two chapters to this Fic.

So to let you know for this and the previous chapter, Meggy's Voice (which I forgot to mention), is always voiced by Lizzie Freeman (also voice actress to Trisha Una from Dubbed "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 5, Golden Wind"))

Soulmates to Lilinoa: Meggy, Kari Kamiya, Hikage, Xion, Sakura Haruno, and Nezuko Kamado. Though nothing romantic will occur till later years yet some would try and also do so, but fail, and also there will be more girls in later chapters or the years in the chapters as well, and I have already chosen who the remaining girls are, as here is a hint of how many there are: 5 times 2 + 3.

There are going to be some new ones in this new Arc Set of Chapters, and a few are based on safe or not safe artwork I was sent (?) as a triad pairing and figured as well that her soulmates would also have their own, making them have the "Shared Soulmates" option up.

Here is some info, to remind everyone and to make it part of the last announcement until the next arc or other chapters begin:

Big Sisters to Lilinoa by Ancestry, Magic, or Blood: Xenovia (Magic), Velvet Crowe (Blood from Father's Sister in secret, so she is a Cousin), Sonata Dusk (Blood and Magic), Saiko (Magic), Tari (even as Cousin, Blood, and Magic), Charlotte "Charlie" Emily or the Puppet (Half-Sister by Magic) and more will be added to that eventually… Please let me know if I missed anything.

Uncles to Lilinoa by Blood or Magic: SMG4, Luigi, Mario.

Aunts to Lilinoa by Blood or Magic: Princess Peach (Magic), Aline (Blood).

Parents to Lilinoa: Xemnas (most of DNA), Tawny (eggs from her ovaries), Aline (by small parts of her blood used as a conditioner to bind all others useful) (there will be others, but that's it for now… I hope you read this chapter as such).

With that out of the way… On with the story (especially there is a plot twist at the end of the arc chapter)!


Lilinoa's "Demonic School and Castle Arc"


June 13th, 2011; In the Morning within the Fused Mansion, Lilinoa's POV:

I woke up knowing we all decided to sleep within the Main Lobby of the fused building while I was perplexed from seeing Kari holding onto my left leg, Meggy onto my upper-right arm, and Xion onto my upper-left one with her eyes clenched a little as if she was mixed on a good/bad dream, and saw to my tiredness that my lower set was gently and unconsciously rubbing their sides at random moments before they were in full control once again, and soon laid down on the bed itself.

I sighed to myself soon, glancing at everyone in the pajamas as well discovering them still sleeping, as they proposed this for a few nights or so until I can sleep better… Especially since I, oddly enough, saw my Mama and her two girls snuggling together on a mattress for three of them close by, Mario and the others in their sleeping bags with Tari holding her rubber duck… And rather creeped out, Saiko was holding a bat. Mainly since I also saw Sonata and the others wearing what they had on to sleep, and the girls I somehow decided to let them live in our home, the seven girls and Rinne that is, were oddly enough munching quietly to themselves nearby the opposite wall to the left side of the crescent staircase the Lobby had within a few folding tables and chairs.

They discovered that I was awake though, and made me uneasy as I managed to do so with feeling my body awkwardly shifting, still, and headed to the bathroom and washed up, rapidly, before joining them… And somehow, I didn't wake anyone up.

"So Kid, are you ready for how a real class is?" Kuronora smirked at me as I jumped in place when she smacked my lower back and tinted when my lower-left hand splattered some of my orange juice onto her without meaning to, and with Mummyla giving the biker girl a stare while using her arms to grab some napkins, and the girls hid some laughter when they saw Kuronora scowl at them and got up, and headed to the bathroom while muttering to herself.

"Don't mind dark and broody, Youngling," began Curia as she came over and rubbed my back in a way I strangely shivered from without knowing, "She's a confident softy under all that toughness she pulls off."

I and the other girls turned while not glimpsing Meggy and the others were slowly waking up or also getting around and recognizing I was fine, to Kiki, as she just grinned with Wolfie scowling along with myself not knowing she was tinting privately by her comment to us, with a thumb, "Ya, and She-Wolf here tends to be broody when it comes to her favorite food being taken," she pauses before she added with a glint within her orbs, "Ya and she tends to-" Wolfie made the girls laugh quietly as she hastily covered the witch girl's mouth, and started to wrestle on the floor to soon perplex me on that.

After that, we all got around with me tinting once again as it was either my tail erratically hitting others without realizing, or my wings spasming. When I got anxious, as to mention this, I wore a jade-colored hospital mask around my lower face entirely.

I decided to not reveal my face as not acknowledged by me, this worried my parents and a few girls as to me… I came to be a true freak, and those nightmares I held back were showing up slowly and clearly to the forefront of my mind, at times.

There was also one of the girls I decided was free I bought, as from what I was explained by Mama (when she found out), her enslavement binding to me was weak enough to break, and she has given her a room close to mine by me claiming it.

She is close to my age or an eleven-year-old, Asian-based girl with pale-blue skin along with short jet ivory-black hair, wide-delicate reddish-brown eyes with crimson sclera alongside her pupils looking to be cat-like, and lastly having a delicate oval face. She wore a white long-sleeved shirt covered by an orange sweatshirt, blue jeans, and red sneakers without socks. She is also three feet tall and has a petite figure for a tomboy-based girl to know she would turn heads as she gets older… Whatever that meant when one of the girls randomly stated it.

She introduced herself as Jade Chan, and yes, the very Jade Chan from the show I tended to watch thanks to Sanara's suggestions as well.

Her story, although she didn't want to say it, was rather not caring for this 'Draco' person at all, even though she mentioned it a few times… However, she was rather shocked by me being her actual fan, and we instantly became friends overnight, and even finding out she was a Cartoon Star for TV.

Anyway, let's get back to the story, as I got sidetracked.

"You sure you're ok?" Meggy elected to ask me as Mama was bringing about the servants I bought to oversee something within the home, and Tari and the other girls were next to me while I wavered but lowered my mask while trying to convince them all, and me as well since I didn't glimpse a few of their gazes to each other since we're in the front of the group, "I guess… Meggy… What if I do something terrible in class?"

I didn't see the glances of the others with some demons backing away by Wolfie or Saiko's glares, or a knife tossed through a random demon's jacket to get them stuck against a wall as we continued from that demon privately wolf-whistling at me, and Tari came shortly up to us as she was discussing something between Xion and Kari, and made us turn to her with me hiding a wince to myself, "You won't. For the short moments we noticed you, you would rather have someone else be the bad guy then you… Particularly," she did a pondering pose before resuming, and making most of the girls sweatdrop while trying to make me feel good, "Since I think you could be anything you want to be."

Watching my gaze was half-convinced as I placed the mask back on, I almost fell over myself while looking at Wolfie beside me immediately, and witnessed her grinning when she patted my back, "Relax Kid. You're with us now, and the best part hasn't even started yet."

We all shortly gave her looks before we entered where the school grounds officially was and I jaw dropped within my mask, as did Meggy and everyone as my Mama's girlfriends with us either just looked impressed or whistled, and I heard Zombina state to us all, "That's a swell place."

The place was like a huge college campus for both modern and medieval design, and the windows were stained glass while the bricks for every building were mixed with obsidian and limestone. The structures were also like small-large homes than a campus though, and the main one looks to be a mix of apartments with a larger castle-like hall. There were also wired gothic fences and statues all over the roofing and the outer part of the land area as well.

"This is the school!?" Desti announced while I didn't see she glanced at me with being stunned with everyone awed or even mystified by the design, along with the seven particular girl's grinning as Rinne tinted.

I was rather impressed by the place as well before we were finally led to a nearby building labeled "Seven Wonders Class" as we were notified of some parts, not all of it, of the school itself as we had to walk quite a bit to get to it.

It turned out that something happened a while ago that overwhelmed the land itself and virtually harmed everyone, and I didn't notice the glances on the seven girl's faces.

So they were relatively stunned that Rinne and her mother, who is a home-ec teacher on campus, agreed to stay with them and also set things up to have their home here. The remodeled design was also invited for other races of not only demons, but angels and whatever to attend this school without setbacks at all, unlike before.

I also found out that my new friends, alongside everyone, my new friends were also indications of the small aspects of the True Sins themselves with Rinne, amazing us all on that, was the reincarnation of "Eve" from the Bible, and Steela was something not recognized.

Once inside, I thought it was going to be a basic classroom like the rest of us did, but we were wrong.

In the large classroom around the size of a large complex apartment, as we sat around several dark-burnt oak round tables, the room was a gothic-like modern thing to know that it wasn't just them being classmates, and was rather perplexed as I saw Xion and Tari picked up their name tags in their favorite colors, with Saiko giving Rinne suspicious looks as she hesitantly laughed while rubbing the back of her neck.

The windows were tinted to the point we couldn't see outside, and the walls were oddly designed in a mix of Norse, Celtic, and Latin Runes within a mix of emerald, sapphire, and ruby themed colors on limestone bricks.

The ceiling, oddly, looked to be enchanted as it showed an illusion of space itself. The chairs were also made of the same wooden material and were cushioned just like the large teacher's desk themed like a throne of sorts, and the sides held the drawers with a floating platform of sorts showing something the teacher of this room could write and stuff on.

"This is one of the fancier classrooms I've ever been into," Kari whispered to me in honesty as they were all placed in this order: I was sitting between Meggy and Kari, and Xion was next to Kari. Tari was sitting next to Saiko as she was next to Wolfie and Desti. Nearby our table was Curia, Steela, and Rinne. Kuronora, Phantoma, and Mummyla also had their table as well as they were close to Tari's table. Kiki and Gillealla had their table to themselves with an empty seat. Jade had her table as well with two nameplates also.

To me, it was rather confusing of sorts for seating, and we then chatted for a few moments or so as we merely waited for the others to show up- "What's up girls!" a random female voice shouted as she entered the room and made me and a few others gap or tint at her looks alone.

Jade thought she looked familiar yet couldn't place it.

She is an in-development hourglass preteen girl close to eleven or twelve and has light green tone skin and looks mostly human with patches of scales on the lower part of her face on the sides, but she also has a slimmer figure along with some developing muscles from her lithe form. She also wore a black kimono-style top with a light purple trim on the collar, purple flowers printed on the bottom of the sleeves, and a purple and white obi that ended just above her waist. With it, she had a pair of black hip-hugging skinny jeans that showed off a fair bit of her stomach, and a pair of zori sandals with a purple thong. She was 4'6 in height, and her hair was honey-colored with a few silver streaks in her hair that also sparkled slightly from the light. Her eyes were wide with slitted pupils and dragon-like, (just like a particular dragon's glowing eyes, but held no glow). She also has two "L" shaped marks that were faintly visible under each of her upper cheeks, on her delicate oval face alongside the long part going upwards and then curved down.

"Zelindra. Seems you made it on time, for once." Curia commented to make the girl tint while she was in a pointing pose, and I heard snickers from the rest of the girls as she then hesitantly laughed before heading over to sit at our larger table.

We then saw two more girls enter as the one girl, Zelindra, seemed familiar to me alongside Jade narrowing her orbs in small suspicion to this girl as well… But I and Saiko, Tari, or even Meggy were not prepared to see these two as I thought they were two fictional characters. Not real.

The first female is a pale-skinned, slim yet slender girl with tannish-orange short hair that was up to her neck while some of it covered her right eye; to which she had delicate oval-shaped eyes with bright-red irises. She also has a heart-shaped face with slash-like teardrops on her face within the center of her eyes alongside black eyeliner. She had at least a large C-Cup (D-Cup) and wore an odd revealing outfit that had three weapons that aided her in battle.

The second girl herself has a cute yet round face, with her purple hair cut close on the left side of her head, but it was hanging onto her shoulders on the right, with right swept bangs hanging over her steel-grey, narrow yet slightly wide eyes that were open in frozen shock when she saw me, for some reason as if she knew me before covering that hastily up, and Saiko was the only one to see that. The girl's skin was fair, however, and made it even paler by both her hair and the dark purple off-the-shoulder long sleeve tunic top she wore with an odd, skull-like insignia on the front. Under it, she had dark grey tights and black calf-high boots. She was also petite while showing to be at least sixteen that has a basic D-Cup with a top-slim and lean figure with a slight hourglass.

These were in order, Kronya from my Fire Emblem: Three Houses Game and my Heroes Version (in which she was one of my Brigade Characters), and Zone-Tan.

At the time, I would find out that Zone-Tan and I had more things in common than right now, and also seeing her of few team members of one of my phone games (which I found out from SMG4 tinkering with it, as it was not from my time yet, was formerly corrupted before fixing it to play again) made me wondered if the others of the many heroes I have in the game I summoned or teamed up with, were up and about… It would be both frightening and amazing, due to some of them.

The two took their seats while I felt wary from Zone-Tan glancing at me now and then as a few other girls appeared to realize I was in an all-girl classroom when the teacher, after approximately ten minutes in this single classroom, came inside… Or in terms, teachers, I was surprised by.

The first was a male demon that is a yellow, triangular creature who bears a strong resemblance to the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States (which I managed to pilfer from the video game contests at times to know), which in turn consists of the Eye of Providence and an unfinished Egyptian Pyramid (which I looked up a long time ago). The color of his body briefly becomes lighter when he speaks. He also has a single large eye rimmed with four short black lashes on the top and bottom. He moves around, we saw, mostly by floating about, and rarely actually stands on his own two feet. He has thin, black limbs, wears a small, black bow tie, and a tall, thin, black top hat that floats just above his head. He has no mouth whatsoever as his arms do not seem to be in any fixed position and can move along the perimeter of his body without any difficulty. He occasionally carries a small black or yellow cane we all also glimpsed at while the lower part of his body has a brick-like pattern of lines.

This was a recently banished Dream Demon by the name of Bill Cipher, and was told by a higher-up to be a teacher, otherwise… Let's say it is bad, and leave it at that, and also I recognized him from the show.

The other teacher was a beautiful woman with pale skin, long black hair that was tied into a loose ponytail with a white ribbon, and brown eyes. She wore the traditional dress of a Miko, (which has remained essentially unchanged to this day except for the lack of the slit-shoulder seam) which was a white jacket with sode-kukuri (cords) through the sleeves and open shoulders (similar to two particular characters' outfits). Strings called Muna-himo were attached to each lapel and tied in front to keep the garment closed. Her kosode would be very much like a modern Kendo or Naginata Keikogi, with the sleeve-fitting somewhat closely like a modern loose shirt and extending slightly past the wrist. The slits on the side of her hakama and the openings at the sleeves and shoulders of her hitoe (jacket) showed the white kosode she sported. This was a deliberate fashion effect. Her outfit also bore a bright red nagabakama (a very long hakama), which included the small board on the lower back while oddly enough, barefoot, and sported a red obi (or belt), overall her other garments.

This is a woman who accepted her fate after events that occurred long ago and were the only one that qualified to have this class as a secondary teacher. This is Kikyō or Kikyo "Kiki" Alendra Brightflower, and the former Miko Priestess to a jeweled item that was destroyed long ago… Later on, I will find out from history lessons in a few hours.

"Alright Class, as of now, you may notice we have some new faces as per orders of Headmaster Helvis," Kikyo calmly stated to the class as I thought the other teacher briefly held a glint at me for some reason before looking normal when I blinked, and then ducked as it seems me and the others were getting the sudden attention I didn't like before he made us be perplexed, as in front of us, were odd stones of sorts he managed to conjure for all of us, "So I expect a warm welcome and no misconduct like last time… To which, I allow Mr. Bill to explain what today's lesson is."

Bill swirled a few times before looking excited for once and made everyone but me and those that I know to not sweatdrop at his antics, as he also exploded of sorts, with confetti that evaporated behind him while clapping and rubbing his hands excitedly, "Ok folks! Today I planned for something truly special, as we will be carving with Rune Rocks, and to see what we get out of them."

He then snapped his fingers while tossing blank runes at each of us with me seeing some already knew what to do as he then told us whatever it is we have to carve into it, "Ok Kiddos! For carving the runes for today, it can be anything similar to it, like carving it into a talisman, a soothing stone, anything. But they must have something specialized while engraving it to do something only pure imagination could think of."

I saw Kikyo sighed to herself and watching the yellow male interdimensional demon from acting out once again, from what I saw of the said show before as while most students and some of the new ones began to work, which I witnessed, I was puzzled as to what to do, along with seeing my cousin and Meggy and a few others.

Seeing I wasn't the only one struggling, as all of the girls at my spot were trying to also figure out how to do this.

"Do you need aid?" My female teacher asked me gently to make me jump and turn to her like Meggy, Xion, and Kari did as we looked sheepish at her then, "I take it as a yes then… Let's see." She grabbed our stones and understood that we didn't know what we were doing, and gave a brief look to Bill as he whistled to himself before shaking her head, and helped us.

After a few more minutes or so, they were rather confused as my stone ended up being carved into a block with a silvery runed, star-like prism of sorts, and everyone else was either a slate, a talisman, or a dud that may or may not have exploded in Wolfie's face.

"Well done, now it's time for P.E. … My style!" Bill declared in a way I saw the existing students were wary before blinking as once he snapped his fingers, we were all at a hazardous-like obstacle course I gulped at alongside a few others.

"Does he expect us to go through that?" Xion states what we all thought before he poofed right in front of her and asserted firmly in a way she hid a gulp, "Got a problem with that?" At the end of his words, she hastily shook her head 'No' to him as he then eye-smiled before declaring then, "Good."

He then wore a general's version of his hat with Kikyo near Tari looking like she wanted to sigh yet refused to do so, "Alright. We're going to hold a marvelous duo race against each other, and the one who performs the most gets a prize."

I perked up at that alongside primarily everyone yet I decided to ask, and hesitantly raised my hand to which I was the center of attention once again, and he motioned to me, "Ah. Yes, Miss?" I didn't see him glint at me immediately except for a few girls when I informed him of my name, and asked my question. "It's Lilinoa, S-Sir. I w-wanted to know if tha-that means we're i-in groups of t-two."

I hid a wince at myself while ignoring the concerned looks from the others that had got or just gotten to know me, and made him think about this before swirling and confessed to me, in marveled honesty, as I saw Kikyo facepalm to herself, "Never thought of that."

Then it was a chaos of sorts to which I figured was pleasing to Bill, as I was thankfully teamed with My Girls, Tari, and Zone-Tan while we faced the others as it was presently down between me and Rinne.

Since I forgot the details of the course itself, imagine the one from Disney's Hercules from Phil, but ten times worse as it's a straight line with random traps and whatnot, and a glowing neon sign that states in bold letters, FINISH LINE, at the end.

"Get set…" I saw some of the girls giving me encouraging looks as from what I saw of this so-called race-based exercise, it was an obstacle course with peril, along with being mixed with, well, chaos. "Go!"

I took off surprisingly fast while seeing Rinne did as well, and it was all a blur after that as when I blinked, I saw I was at the end of the Finish Line, and saw Rinne was panting near Wolfie with everyone giving me impressed or rather shocked looks, especially the teachers.

I looked back and my jaw dropped at seeing the course itself was in ruins somehow and green and black flames were rather easily showing on some flammable materials and didn't think of it before I was slapped hard of sorts on my back and withholding a flinch as I turned to see Mr. Bill eye-smiles at me before telling everyone as I soon blinked dumbly in utter shock by his words, and sharply turned to Rinne as she only nodded. "We may have to think of something else, but this girlie here outdone herself more than everyone else!"

Soon after that, we had a few other interesting subjects: Math, Spellcaster Work, and even some interesting things about a class subject that involved dancing alongside History. And after that, we headed to the cafeteria for lunch.

"What ya mean they serve no spaghetti?!" Mario exclaimed in utter panic as if it was blasphemy to not serve any and with Luigi simply patting his back alongside holding back the urge to sweatdrop alongside everyone as I awkwardly shifted in place in line and resisting or trying to, of the hinted whispers and stares I was receiving by other demons.

"Maybe they were out?" Suggested Meggy to her friend as he shrugged before grabbing whatever was edible, feeling like I was the odd one out and turning to Tari as she asked in concern, as I glimpse of Jade holding her stomach a few feet or so behind the line, as she then took off rapidly to use the restroom, "You alright?"

I was about to respond before someone purposely shoved me and made me fall face-first right into my food, and everyone except those that knew me started laughing, as I saw the culprit smirked at me cheekily.

She was at least a few inches taller than me with her curled horns within her lime-colored short hair as some of it covered her right eye and face, and wore primarily a 90's tomboy outfit with Rios in the shirt and jeans, along with a mix of being black heated with silver spiked punk.

The girl was also with a few other taller demons and monsters as she said cheekily to me, as I was helped up, "Looks like the newb fell, everyone!"

"That's not nice," Tari advised the girl to make her blink and not glimpsing. My girls looked angered along with a few others as she mocked my cousin, "'That's not nice', bah! Nice is for those that can't cut it at this academy. If you can't handle this, then you should pack your bags and leave."

She directed that part at me as I winced at it, and realized my mask was dirty as well- "Hey! Give it back!" I cried out in utter shock and fear as the girl took my mask, and didn't see Xion's eyes briefly went to a golden amber and back at this point, and with Meggy and Kari holding her back, alongside Mario and Luigi and the others holding back Saiko as we also heard others gasp at this bold move.

"Why does a girl like you need a mask to cover a face only a Freak would love, as from scent alone…. You're a Hybrid Freak!" The girl declared for everyone to hear about me.

I felt like my eyes were tearing up at this with flashes of my escaped past going through my eyes, and before anyone could stop me, I took off not realizing everyone else was following right behind me a few minutes later, and lost me.

I didn't recognize where I was at all, but I was in some park of sorts while on a dark cinder park bench in gothic design and was rubbing my eyes and hugging myself.

"Wh-Why was she so-so mean…" I muttered to myself, sniffling, and shivered from an unexpected wind blow that went past me as I still hugged myself. "I-I didn't cho-choose to become this way."

I stiffened though and sharply turned to the voice that acknowledged randomly to me then, "No one truly chooses to end up as they are, by making the most of what you have obtained from the question itself."

I saw a fully cloaked man with the ends of his shimmering black cloak moving just like the water of sorts, and he seemed to have been wearing strange armor as well under it.

He then made me sniff and blink once as he got a strange handkerchief that's mixed with my favorite colors, and gave it to me as I wiped my eyes, as he gently confided in me then, "There, there, Child. There is no need to shed tears of rejection and fear for those that are judgemental of one's image."

I stilled before gazing at the stranger before me, and I told him in utter shock, since I was close to being startled then sad, now, "How did you-" he gently placed a hand up before notifying me then in a gentle tone, and I didn't see his eyes underneath glint in sadness, of sorts, "I have seen it occur and more, Child. From what you went through to this current moment, you should merely take a leap of faith and continue onwards and ignore what yourself has become… But what have you chosen to be?"

I was perplexed by what he informed me before hearing him chuckle lightly to himself as he soon reached into his cloak and placed some few things of sealed books into my lap, and instructed me gently alongside making me look right into his multi-colored eyes with partial seriousness in them, "These are no ordinary books as they will be interesting to you as years go by… Especially the very first one I managed to obtain long ago that hosts entities of a long-ago war that you will soon learn about, once again. The books themselves are yours alone to have and pass in Kinship to others." he paused before lastly giving me an unusual black opal colored gemstone, "This as well."

I saw him now stand up, and glanced at me for a few moments without a word before I blinked at the title he spoke while observing him vanish in a puff of rainbow smoke, afterward, "Until we cross paths once again, Lady Potter."

I held onto the books before raising an eyebrow at one being dubbed as 'Book of Thirteen Entrapped Worlds', and a few select others while putting them away into my Hammerspace, to which I almost forgot I had as I learned of it last night, and showed how to access it, by Mr. Bill learned I had one, before stifling a gasp at being quickly muffled by a clawed hand and felt something was soon placed over my face.

I then blanked out while lastly seeing Meggy and the others witness whoever had me, with large demonic and fiery eyes.


Normal POV:

Meggy and everyone was horrified at seeing a ninja-like demon with fiery eyes knockout Lilinoa and were held back by even more of them showing up, especially since Jade was passed out within the schools' infirmary as this was going on.

"Let my daughter go!" Tawny exclaimed as she missed pummeling the demon upon her swift arrival, as she felt her child's emotional state and told her lovers she would investigate it, only to see she was being taken again with her mask gone.

The demon wordlessly shook his head before revealing it was an Eredar Draenei (shocking everyone) and blew into a shrilling whistle as he soon left quickly with Lilinoa, as fel bats and other demons appeared, and began to fight them.

Tawny narrowed her orbs as everyone began to do their own thing to defend themselves against these Fel Demons, and was dodging to and fro alongside Meggy, Xion, and even Kari having her partner out and was currently Angewomon, before they were stopped by the male Eredar summoning a demonic-looking hellhound he sent at them while, at the same time, went through a vortex as Tawny was at least lucky enough to have something attached to her child before being overwhelmed by the onslaught of Fel Demons.

Without warning, the demons were being taken out by a very fast blur of sorts from three individuals, and when it was done, Tawny was rather surprised as she pants heavily with her bosom slightly jiggling as she did, to what everyone saw, was supposedly three female elves of sorts, with only the first being a different race and with eye covers over their green glowing eyes.

"Area secured. Moving to pursue the target," the lighter-skinned one states with them pausing at seeing the others, and didn't say a word as they jumped up into the air and vanished.

Tawny narrowed her orbs while soon seeing all but a select few were not knocked out: Xion, Meggy, Tari, Saiko, and even Rinne and those seven other girls since she figured by the demons themselves, most of them got paralyzed temporarily on their arms or legs.

"We're going after her, aren't we?" Meggy mainly stated to Tawny in a way there was no choice in the matter before they took a few steps back as Helvis appeared along with not only a cloaked girl who seemed to have scowled for a brief moment for something unexplained, but Aline was with him.

Let's say for Aline, she left her partner back with some slave traders to handle things while she went with the headmaster of this academy, and met up with an entity that was in similar interest for Lilinoa's being.

"She's taken again?" Aline asked Tawny as the woman realized who Aline was, and sighed before nodding as Aline made them all blink before making everyone gawking at the same time, hearing a brief chuckle that was half-filled with emotion, by Aline placing two fingers in her mouth and gave a shrill whistle… And made them jump at hearing an unexpected roar in response moments after.

Helvis paled as the thing of nightmares soon came from a shadowy vortex of sorts, and the reason for Tari stuttering in utter mixed fandom and shock, along with Xion palling at recognizing who the beast was: It was Cerberus.

Cerberus growled with his three heads at everyone before Aline whistled at him and got all three heads attention, and soon made everyone face fault when he began acting like an actual dog as she petted each head with love before telling him softly in Greek briefly to make all three heads blink a few turns at her, then raised all three heads in a very loud howl to shake some windows of some nearby buildings before sniffing the ground.

"How in the Seven Hells have you in full control of Cerberus?" Xion implored in a discreet command to Aline to make not only her, but a few others raise an eyebrow before she shrugged, and answered honestly while observing her companion trying to detect the same scent she called him for, "Mostly a returned gift from Hades himself taking one of my Father's Familier's pups without permission… Let's say he was given an earful of sorts and gave it to me, and I took off all the loyalty spells and whatnot off the poor guy."

They blinked before they jumped in place as he soon howled before taking off in sudden speed to make Aline and soon the others smirk at her words, "He caught her scent again… Let's go."

With Lilinoa's part in all this, she was placed in a silent spell by the Eredar himself as to her inward and mute horror, they were kidnapping random people as she saw Jade was one of them, as she was placed in the same cage within some far away ruins of sorts nearby a devilish-like mountain.

Jade could do nothing but not only rub Lilinola's back gently but winced at the cramping of her stomach, as she was told about her cycle was different than what she was told, but didn't know what to expect as Lilinoa was trying to not cry yet was failing in that, and was going through flashbacks as her fear of enclosed spaces was slowly starting to kick in.

"Grab those two… Our boss wants them both." A random Eredar Guard firmly told the two maintaining the post nearby their cage to make them hold onto each other before struggling in place as they were carried out and away to who knows where, and was watching in utter shock and horror of other victims getting sacrificed or other, and some being enslaved as well.

Sooner than later, they were dropped within the refurbished ruins of a very large building that was once part of a large castle, and were forced to have their heads lowered and placed in a respectable pose by two armored guards as they heard a feminine voice state firmly to them, as they lessened their hold only slightly, "Well now… Is that any way to treat the two of many interesting individuals that my minions gave to me without much potential for awareness."

She was very tall and if she was standing instead of sitting on a throne made of bones and black iron swords, she would be close to sixteen feet tall. She also has mid-length dark crimson and violet mixed hair with some fringe in the front, a delicate-looking oval face while looking twenty or so, wide yet demonic yellow eyes with the red sclera, and had four gnarled yet slightly medium devilish horns through the sides of her hair in a resemblance of a sideways crown (if seeing them).

She wore, although, a gothic-based armor that was made for a general of sorts (similar to a mix of Esdeath and Raynere from respective anime's), yet it was also revealing for the valley of her large HH-Cup breasts, to the toned yet slim waist and slender arms and legs she has. She also had clawed hands and feet though with her arms and legs having black runes of sorts, and was smirking alongside revealing silvery sharp teeth.

Lilinoa held in a silent gasp alongside Jade when she moved in unexpected movements and grabbed her face with her clawed left hand, gently as if she was inspecting her beforehand, and was soon glancing between her and Jade as if they were prizes or something as she let out a brief laugh before telling them, and making them wary, "My, my… Seems like they managed to nab a few potential mortals once again, as the last few times were for some strange people and even a little girl we later found out was Carol Anne Freeling… After we took care of her parents that arrived with her of course, and her two siblings we sent to who knows where, by sheer accident."

Lilinoa tried to struggle to impress her and might have guessed as the woman soon was being grabby while not witnessing Jade had brief reddened eyes of rage (if the woman intentionally touching the girl's body frame, was an indication) before blinking and grinned as she reached into her pants and discovered her true gender.

"So the rumors of the Chosen Key's gender was true after all…" the Demoness they both guessed at this point tells herself before moving away from them, paused, and turned sharply as they were soon grabbed by a few more guards by her firm orders to them, "Take them to my renovated castle the master bestowed upon me, and see to it that they are part of the few others I deemed as my property and guests… As I want to see if this one," she pointed right at Lilinoa while not hearing a brief chuckle by the demonic guards, "Is the one fit for finding the one of thirteen Lost Kingdoms." They were freed of whatever spell that was placed on them as they soon struggled and only heard the woman laugh wickedly told herself at this, and she soon scowled from both of them seeing the others came after them, and some guards knocked out on the ground, as it was Tawny, Aline, Meggy, and Zelindra alongside a cloaked girl who was gazing at her before mainly Jade.

"So… It is true then what the rumors were about. She's your child then, Ex-Lady Tawny?" The female remarked in a taunt to perplex them and those with her except for the cloaked girl, and she only narrowed her eyes right back as Lilinoa held back a wince from the sudden strong grip she decided to use on her right shoulder, as the few guards meant to escort them, fled to fight with the others.

"Your allies are the ones who ruined my original home in the first place before I became like this," Tawny firmly told her as Lilinoa felt like something occurred between the two, from what they, and everyone, were hearing, "So let's settle this between us and not my flesh and blood, General Marlandra."

Marlandra made Lilinoa cry out in brief pain as she dug her claws right into her skin at that, and she didn't notice everyone was forced to stay still due to the situation at hand, as Jade was placed in a motionless spell once again by the General, and the demonic female let out a low chuckle a few times before glaring right at her as they saw some of her blood began to show once she let go of the child and cried out to her mother loudly, as not only she was sucked into a dark bluish hued vortex, but so was those within the room.

Tawny narrowed her orbs while hiding her inward horror at recognizing the color of the vortex itself, yet didn't even get a chance to respond as Marlandra began to charge right at her at an unexpected speed.

They were soon dodging each other's punches and kicks for the next several minutes within the large chamber of ruins before Marlandra snarled as in her left hand a black orb formed, and Tawny dodged an exploding ball that almost shook the large chested female, as it easily imploded the nearby wall and disintegrated it.

Tawny soon retaliated as she did a few hand signs and shouted as green and the golden mixed blast of energy was sent directly at the female general, sending Marlandra several feet and into some buildings as well, "Ultimate Blast!"

Marlandra let out a brief demonic growl of annoyance while getting up before she was grasped by her left arm to get the female General to go wide-eyed, and was instantly tossed further and passing by the others that were still fighting the minions she was given, as they blinked before shrugging as they resumed fighting as best as they could while Tawny herself, caught Marlandra and shoved her right into the ground to instantly make a small crater.

The female general only grunted before smirking as Tawny was quickly side blinded by a speedy blur of sorts before she was slowly getting up from the wind almost taken out of her, and gawked at seeing Marlandra pet her familiar as it was a mix of a living version of a mixed dark greenish Yaujuta Hound alongside a FelHound (WoW Legion Version), as it was around the size of an adult lion.

She was soon double attacked as in mere three or so minutes, she was panting with utter shock and also gazing weakly at Marlandra as she dismissed her pet from it fleeing into a shadowy vortex it made, and Tawny held a gasp from her clutching her neck in a firm grip so she wouldn't talk.

"It seems like you have a choice… Go to the Castle of Nightmares, or continue facing an endless onslaught against each other like back then until you skipped up." Marlandra told Tawny to show actual horror on her face that seeing her old enemy was not joking, and wondered how she got so powerful as last time they fought, it took nearly at least half a day to defeat her, not mere minutes… Or even how the hell she got freed from the dimensional prison.

"You… You didn't send them there?!" Tawny weakly exclaimed out from her throat being squeezed to only to see Marlandra smirked before she admitted in personal cold glee at her, "Indeed I have, Failure. You see… It's being run by my new comrades and repurposed for a better cause, as it turns out that exact place is the best thing to find the location of one of the Lost Kingdoms: Morphiana. I and they have heard of the Chosen, as that is the precise location to locate one of many things needed to free my Master's own Master. I have merely been here for several weeks before the events that I sensed only a few days ago occurred with your lovely freak of an offspring, as it was felt everywhere and getting my master's interest."

Tawny hastily gasped for breath with Marlandra easily picking her up by her throat before wildly grinning with a glint within her eyes, as she coldly chuckled to her, "I find this very interesting by seeing how more empowered I am to you and yet… You are persisting in things. You won't make it far anyways as to the Castle of Nightmares… Or rather, the Castle of Eternal Shadows, can't be accessed by those who are not like you, slut!"

She then tossed Tawny away before shrilling a large whistle that echoed throughout the area as Tawny was glaring right at Marlandra alongside trying to catch her breath, as her voice echoed from her casting a wandless spell to briefly empower her voice, "We are leaving! Take your sorry excuse of a minion behind and head to the Castle! We got what we came for and more already!"

The others were rather perplexed by seeing the demons retreat into hellish-green vortexes before gazing in the direction as they saw Tawny being launched in the air… And landed right on top of both Mario and Luigi.

Marlandra smirked at this from her spot as she soon left into her vortex, as she knew her Master would be pleased with her.

SMG4 was worried as it seemed Tawny was weak and hurt somehow, and the others saw this with one thing on their mind: Where did they take her child and the few others… However, they didn't see Zone-Tan's orbs glow a dark yellow in secret rage at the disappearance of Lilinola's absence.


The Castle of Eternal Shadows, The Endless Abyss within Hell Sector: A-198, at this point and time (still Normal POV):

At this location was a former place where the nightmares of any mortal once claimed while using pure darkness as a source of their powers.

The castle primarily resembles that of three huge medieval palaces combined within a gothic vibe and the designs being mostly red, black, and darkish ebony for colors with very tinted windows. In terms of size, it would be several or so football stadiums (close to five), and with the foundation having at least nine-hundred thousand acres of a floating landmass with copper/black soil floating above an endless abyss as several miles outwards was the red waters going downwards into the endless hole itself.

The upper view of the design of the location itself, however, would be to a pentagon. Around the property is electric wrought iron fencing and thorn bushes that could pierce any skin, and dark purplish yet crimson red mixed roses as well.

There was also a dark and twisted forest as well past that with the only clear path covered by a glass dome tunnel to the edge, and to the location itself.

But besides the layout of this place, we are getting sidetracked.

Within the enchanted and adjusted walls of the castle itself, were dozens upon dozens of rooms, labs, and more built and adjusted within the previous, as the walls were mainly dulled marble with more than average technology and whatnot within. Each hallway without an escort of anyone working or even living here would be randomized, as the structure was in resemblance to two distinctive locations from another place.

In one of these rooms with two heavily light-armored guards outside it, was a vast room of sorts that held a fancy hotels chamber in a modern gothic vibe, mixed with basic or plain furniture as within the casting room itself was not only those that came with Lilinoa to be seen playing with game cards at a large table, and the others were with her except there was some beside her watching things and also a few others the child herself was rather surprised was trapped, like they were, at the prison-based location of relaxing and torment.

Lilinoa herself, sadly, was knocked out on a large sofa with the cloaked female being merely silent and Aline herself, simply aiding the child by placing a new wet cloth about her forehead every hour as they were thankful (inwardly that is) that the room they're shut-in, for now, has everything able to live in it… Except for video games and tv.

The first two were, in fact, both Carol Anne Freeling alongside Heather O'Rouke themselves, as they found out they were half-sisters by whatever brought them here, as they were the same age range as Lilinoa herself, sadly, and dressed in plain garbs meant for prisoners.

The third was rather interesting as it was Bowser himself, but with a suppression collar of sorts around both his neck and arms.

The fourth was a girl around thirteen as well since this place de-aged her, has short black, cyan, and dark blonde mixed hair and dark-grey mixed bright-green wide eyes (almost blackish for the grey aspects), has a cute childish look for an oval-shaped face, pure white skin, quite long and pointy elfin ears with a stripped matching-hair colored cattail (the pattern being black, blonde and cyan and with the last color as the tip), maintained a large E-Cup, around 5'5 in height with having strong and defined muscles that show up even when she makes small movements for her body's slender yet fit figure.

She, too, wore garbs as well, but they clung decently to her body and her suppression collar around her neck.

This is Kirigaya "Leafa/Sinon" Suguha.

Her story is that during the one 'Project', a virus got into the game that was made of tainted darkness, and sent everyone alongside her brother's virtual child into it, and she ended up being taken to this place once she landed on top of Marlandra several weeks ago.

Kirigaya was indeed rather startled that she was fused with not only herself, but both of her avatars she once played as… Let's say that the events leading up to the outcome were dark and twisted, and leave it at that.

Meggy and Tari were also playing as it was their suggestion (and her ire) of playing 'Go Fish'.

The last person to be mentioned was a female herself.

She is a young woman around twenty, 5'4 in height, and is petite yet slender. She has a basic C-Cup chest size, long pink hair with blue and red pill-shaped barrettes in it, and wide rhombus blue eyes with pink pupils while having a perfectly oval face with natural trimmed eyebrows that matched her pink hair.

She wore, however, a slightly darker pink nurse's outfit that also has a white apron and a blue ribbon attached to the white-collar. She wore a large pink ribbon behind her as a belt, sky blue and light red thigh-high leggings with hearts at the top, and low-heeled dark pink shoes. Lastly, she has pink and blue band-aids on her arms.

This is Bianca Abercrombie (Clinic of Horrors), and she, too, was in a similar situation as Kirigaya herself, but hers was fully taken by an entity possessing a female she would rather forget than see as such, and managed to get to be at least able to keep her garments while sadly, giving them her medical journal to the scientists.

The reason that Meggy was irked was that it turned out these two (Kirigaya and Bianca) were Tari's Equal Soulmates, and were rather unnerved by how emotionless Bianca sounded yet did detect hints of it whenever she spoke.

To mention Jade… She was grunting and everything while in the bathroom, as she was unexpectedly going on her unusual four-monthly cycle. She was to moreover mention it, was wearing a suppression collar as well and was within the fancy restroom for the last thirty or so minutes.

Zelindra was, unfortunately, helping the poor girl as well, as she felt it was her right to help a beginning cycle of sorts that Jade was experiencing and knew how it felt.

They realized that whoever wanted them as well as Lilinoa, wanted them as guest-like prisoners, especially the other recent arrivals as mentioned in the room, and were lucky that they were allowed to keep their clothing.

Anyways we're going off-topic.

"Got any fives?" Meggy asked with a sigh to Bowser as the reptile just grunted out with him adjusting his cards, "No." Meggy sighed again as she, like a few others, was bored.

Tari was concerned about her cousin and the situation that they were all in, especially her friend, but glanced at the two blonde children in sadness that was discreetly felt by her two recently discovered Soulmates, but they too knew there wasn't anything that they could do at this point.

The blue-haired girl didn't understand why, but she had a dreadful impression of sorts the longer they stayed here.

They soon paused when Lilinoa commenced to groan to herself while looking more feverish, and concerning Meggy… Until they all jumped within the room as the door was unlocked, and a few guards came into the room, alongside the one who brought them here.

Heather and Carol hid behind both Tari and Kirigaya as Marlandra grinned at them all and not noticing them scowl at her, and she made a fake pout while entering the room with a few more guards behind her, "Ah… What is the matter with everyone? Not taking the joyed comfort of my hospitality?"

"To be honest, Mam. No… Especially since whatever you did, my Child here won't awaken." Aline expressed with the other not only detecting the tone of worry mixed with concern in her voice, but also irritation as well, and the cloaked female simply glared at the demoness.

"Oh? I take it that she's not adjusted to that type of Shadow Traveling as of yet… This brings me to why I'm within this room." Marlandra had a clawed digit on her lips before smirking alongside a glint within her eyes they didn't like- "What are you doing?! Stop-" Aline began to state before she was shocked by a taser a guard had as four guards easily carried Lilinoa without much of a fuss, out of the room before Tari and Meggy were shortly grabbed by them.

"If you excuse us, I have an engagement of sorts that requires me to use the Chosen Key, and search for what I truly desire in the center of my refurbished Nightmare Castle…" Marlandra paused before she laughed and turned to the guard next to her, "See to it they get more entertaining things to do, and Miss Abercrombie, I suggest you willingly follow if you don't want Miss Pendragon hurt to help with the process?" Her words though weren't a statement but order, and made Bianca for once scowl at someone before reluctantly following behind them as they left the room.

Once they did, Jade looked pale once she came out of the restroom along with a wary Zelindra, and ignored her weakened state to question those within the room instantly at not beholding a specific girl, "Where's Lily?"

With the other group, they were silent while Tari gently gave an unseen pat on one of two best friend's backs as Meggy gave her a sincere yet still worried glance back, in a wordless reply.

Bianca was walking beside Tari and was awkwardly holding her free hand as they were walking within the hallways to realize that this place is chaotic and insane, of sorts.

Eventually, they all hid a gulp as they were soon within a large ritualistic chamber that was mixed as a laboratory of sorts, and Meggy glanced up like the other girls at seeing a mural of several dragons breathing right into a dulled orb around the size of a small car, on the ceiling. Outside of the dragon's path were scenes that were hard to detail, but appeared to be different areas of sorts with their elements within them.

The walls, to mention them, are detailed of ancient drawings as well as the past or other battles fought in other realms.

In the center underneath the orb itself, however, looked to be a strange chair of sorts that would fully enclose all but the head, and the strange and unusual scientists seemed to be just finishing on adjusting it to make the girls glance in fear, for Lilinoa's frame… And it appeared it was.

"Place her into the device in the buff… I don't care how you can get her clothes to get off her, but do so." Marlandra sternly orders her minions as they hastily nodded as Bianca hid being worried as both Meggy and Tari were unexpectedly grabbed and started struggling in place. "Those two will see to it that this would work… Besides wanting to know the location, this place would also have a chance to unlock a prize this place has I desire."

"Let all of us go! We didn't do anything wrong!" Tari exclaimed to Marlandra with them soon watching as Lilinoa ended up nude yet shortly in swift time, her outfit became a bracelet on her right wrist, before hooking her limbs and whatnot in specific spots, especially since it also slotted her lower limbs and special places with fitted ease.

Once the two was chained against a wall in perfect view of where Lilinoa would see them, from both their wrists and ankles, Marlandra came over and smirking, and quickly punched Tari in the gut to make the blue-haired girl wheeze with wide eyes before giving them dark looks, "I think you fools don't realize that you're not in the situation to demand or say anything at this point… After all, I can do anything I desire as long as you're within my controlled domain."

Marlandra ignored Meggy glaring at her after her words and actions as she went over to Bianca and told her what to do, and saw a guard she summoned to Tari's side held a jagged black knife to her neck to make the female glare at her for, and reluctantly proceeded to do it.

"You won't get away with this! People like you always fail!" Meggy exclaimed to make Marlandra give a hand signal as Tari called out her friends name as she was electrified briefly by her, and Meggy glared defiantly while panting at her spot and watching Marlandra receive a glass of what appears to be wine and sipped from it from a random guard giving it to her, and cheekily told her off than with a cruel smirk, "I already have? Haven't you noticed yet that your precious allies have yet to come and rescue you? If they get aid from outside forces, it would take merely days to even enter my domain… And the traps I laid out as well in the Forests of Fears."

Meggy while twitching in place was horrified by that alongside Tari, as they watched them seal Lilinoa into the device with them observing a few of the demon underlings that appeared to be the scientists involved for, for whatever horrible purpose, and was soon complaining to get Marlandra's notice.

"Ok… What the fuck is wrong now?! I was told it was ready ahead of schedule!" She demanded with her easily downing the supposed wine and tossing it right at a random guard before she soon marched over to the few lackies, and frowned while glancing upwards at the orb by them noting in a strange tongue the three girls could not understand for a few minutes, and pointing here and there, and lastly at Lilinoa, and at the same time, saw they set up a health tracker to keep track of her body and stuff.

"Well… Do whatever it takes to keep her stable then while you work the blasted device to get what's rightfully declared mine by the Master! And I don't care about her health as she's that Traitors Child, just get it done within the quickest time possible!" Marlandra loudly ordered before gazing at the two girls with a wicked smirk to make both Tari and Meggy pale, and almost made Bianca trip over herself yet regrettably was overseeing Lilinoa's progress on the few health monitors they provided, "And if these two ever escape, zap them until they are back in their chains by their own will." She then left.
