Lian's Peculiar Journey: Starlight Paladins
Chatper 12
I'm Just Playing Games, it's Plastic Love
"Hurry!" the four Paladins ran towards the town ahead of them, all of them heaving Dredge.
"We can't let that sunlight touch him!" Sarah said as the morning started to arrive.
"I'm so exhausted…" Lian panted as the sleep deprivation started to take its toll.
"We need to keep going, Lian." Lex grumbled as he also started to slow down.
"What's a little pain anyways?" Zhin closed his eyes and started to sweat.
"Just a few more kilometers!" Sarah told them, then breathed in deeply. A surge of mystical fire ran through her veins and gave her new energy.
"How much longer must we keep this up?" Lian groaned as her heels bore themselves into her legs, "I can't run in these boots!"
"Should've thought of that before taking them on this journey, princess." Zhin snarled.
"Shut up! Your drivel is driving me mad!" Lex yelled.
Though they were tiring, the four were giving it their all to make it to the town.
00000000000
"That'll be two hundred coins." A man at the counter told an elf woman with purple hair, "Thanks for choosing Sleepy Sheep Inn." He grabbed the bag she handed to him, "You're here very early." He saw as the sun was barely peeking over the horizon line.
The door of the inn suddenly burst open.
"Clear the table!" Sarah told Zhin as they came in, "Close the windows!" she told Lian.
Lex came in with Dredge over his shoulder.
Zhin slid all the articles on the nearby table off, shattering some vases and dropping some books.
"Hey!" the receptionist called out as the newcomers made a mess of his lobby.
Lian pulled over the curtains to the window to block out any outside sun.
Lex dropped Dredge on the table and took a step back to catch his breath.
"Argh….." Dredge groaned as he started to wake up from all the commotion, "What… what…" he said weakly and struggled to move.
"Dredge." Sarah walked up to him and placed her hand on his head.
"As I speak, I am building up Pyre energy on my hand and will release at a moment's notice to your brain if you don't listen to me." She said.
Dredge felt a heat from her palm that was intolerable.
"Pyre energy will destroy the creatures of the Abyss, which you now are." Sarah continued, "Now tell me…"
"ARGHHH!" Dredge suddenly convulsed in pain.
"What!?" Sarah stepped back as a purple liquid oozed out from his eyes and pores.
"What's going on!?" Zhin asked as the admiral continued to tremble and foam at the mouth.
"Well… Well… Well…" a seductive voice said.
The four turned to see the purple haired elf woman strutting towards them.
"Are you doing this?" Lex growled as the elf stopped in front of him and leaned on his chest.
"My… how very deductive." The elf said and ran her fingers across his chestplate, "And very…. Strongly built too. You are a Lawman after all, so I assumed that."
"Who are you, you wench?" Zhin snarled.
"My, how ungentlemanly of you." The elf sighed, "But I think we should get to the action instead of introductions."
"ARGH!" Dredge yelled and shook uncontrollably, "What is happening to me?!"
"What are you doing to him!?" Sarah pointed at the elf.
"My my my… All these questions turn a woman off." The elf smirked and walked around Lex, "Lex… Why are they so questioning? Why can't they be direct as you? Huh?" she grabbed his chin and kissed his cheek.
Lian seethed in anger.
"Unhand him you slut!" she walked over to her.
"Why…" the woman snarled, "Who is this piece of rubbish?"
"AGHHHH!" Dredge gave out a curdling yell.
"He's dying!" Sarah gasped.
"As he should be." The elf commented, "Seris commanded it."
"Seris? That's that evil lady you keep talking about!" Zhin told Sarah, "She probably sent that woman to kill him!"
"Sorry, I can only like one smart man!" The elf blew a raspberry at Zhin and slapped Lex's hindquarters.
"Dredge!" Sarah grabbed hold of the pirate, "Did you hear that? Seris betrayed you! She personally sent someone to kill you! She can't be trusted! She must be stopped! Please, you must help us defeat her!"
"No….." Dredge twitched.
"Dredge! Seris is not who you think she is!" Sarah cried out to him, "She is an evil woman who is willing to step over anyone to achieve her victory! Trust me!" she shook him, "Please Dredge…. Tell us the secret to Seris' Stand!"
Dredge gasped for air.
"Me lady…. She gave me life…. Even when I failed her…. Nothing will cause me to lose faith in that beautiful siren…. Seris…. I love ye… Even… if I…. di….." he gave out one more huff of air.
"Boo hooo." The elf woman taunted and opened the curtains, allowing the morning sun to shower over the admiral.
Dredge's body started to crack, then burned and turned to ash.
"OH PYRE!" Sarah yelled and shook her head.
"You miser!" Zhin pointed at the elf woman.
"Let me take care of her!" Lian stepped up and glared at her, "What is your name before I beat you to a bloody pulp!"
"Like I would tell a wench like you my name." the elf woman scoffed, "Lex… would you ask me for my name?"
"Listen here-"
"What is your name?" Lex interrupted Lian.
"I'm honored you asked." The elf woman smiled, "Very well, for my lover's sake I will tell you. My name is Skye, and I have the Stand called PLASTIC LOVE."
"Good, now show it." Sarah grumbled.
"I already have." Skye giggled, "Or are you too blind to see? And I thought nobody could be as bad as that white-haired hag standing there."
Lian snarled and Power Khan appeared from within her.
"RAH!" the stand yelled and punched Skye in the stomach and launched her back.
"UWAHK!" Lex grunted as a punch appeared in his stomach and made him spit out blood.
"So feisty…." Skye panted as she stood back up.
"Lex?!" Lian turned to see Lex stand up from the blow.
"What… What happened?" the lawman panted as he held his stomach, "Who hit me?"
"She did, Lex…" Skye pointed to Lian, "I guess she's not as good as you thought. Why don't you come with me, I showed you my love." She pointed at the kiss mark on his cheek.
Zhin and Sarah saw as the kiss mark started to glow, then sunk below his Lex's skin.
"What is happening!?" Lex said as he felt a buzz in his head.
"My stand is already inside of you…" Skye sighed, "Oh…. How I wish you were inside of me, however…"
"You filthy-" Lex punched the elf woman, only to be punched himself.
"Agh!"
"It appears that whenever she is hurt, Lex is hurt too!" Sarah informed.
"And when I am killed, guess who also dies?" Skye giggled and looked at Lian, who stood over her.
"I guess you have some work cut out ahead of you."
Lian growled and picked up the elf woman.
"What must I do for you to remove your stand from him?"
"Well, the poison is already running through his blood, so I think you should do some quick things for me." Skye informed as she stepped outside of the inn, "Also... about your pirate captain..." she peeked her head in, "Guess who gave him a good bye kiss for luck?" she smirked and walked out.
"Poison!?" Zhin gasped, "How!?"
"It did go inside his skin…." Sarah murmured, "Lian, you must stop her while we find out how she's doing these things to Lex!"
Lian nodded and stepped outside, then saw Skye standing by a fountain across the street.
"Look who decided to follow." Skye smiled and started walking.
"You better remove yourself from Lex." Lian ran up to her and grumbled, "Or there will be hell to pay."
"You know you cannot hurt me without hurting him." Skye responded and twirled around, "I thought you liked him, but noting how much you want to hurt him, I don't think so."
"I do not like him." Lian rolled her eyes, "But I do not want him to be hurt either." She murmured and glared at her.
"Too bad I can't beat that shit-eating grin off your face, you disgusting pig." She clenched her fists as Power Khan appeared.
"Relax, I can remove my stand from Lex's brain." Skye chuckled, "But you do have to make some sacrifices. That's what love is all about, no?" she said and grabbed paintbrush from a nearby work project.
Lian gasped when the elf grabbed her and then moved the brush across her chest.
"You-" she raised her fist, but remembered that Lex would be hurt.
"And done." Skye stepped back and threw away the brush.
20 COINS read what she painted on Lian's chest.
"What is the meaning of this!?" Lian growled, then saw some young men walking towards her.
"Hey hey hey!" one of them removed his sunglasses as they strolled by, "Hey baby, you're pretty cheap. Want to go to the inn with those prices?" he laughed.
"I can't believe a girl as good as you is that low!" one of his friends added, "Anyone have some change? I may give her a go too!"
Lian snarled and called out Power Khan.
"RAH!" Power Khan punched all five men across the face, knocking them back.
"Hurting innocent people?" Skye sighed, "I thought you were the good guys." She taunted and started to walk off.
"Wait a minute!" Lian followed her through the town.
"Don't think I'm going to leave you just because you painted this on m- What are you looking at!?" she yelled at an older man who was staring at her.
"You should be thankful I'm giving you this much attention." Skye shrugged her shoulders, "I don't think you get these many men looking at you with your looks."
"Do you know who you talk to?" Lian snarled, "I am a princess. I have men lining at my palace doors begging to marry me! Men of renown and wealth!"
"They must be blind." Skye scoffed and stepped to the side, then stomped on the ground.
"What are you- NYAH!" Lian gasped when steam shot out of a vent that was under her. She immediately tried to push her skirt down.
A couple of old men who were lounging nearby hollered and cheered, then started to stomp on the ground some more.
"Cease that!" Lian yelled at them as the vent current got stronger.
"HRAHH!" Power Khan came out and pushed Lian forward.
"Run off, you old coots." Skye told the old men, "Don't you think you've seen enough?" she showed off her own curves.
The old men fainted immediately.
"How dare you embarrass a princess!?" Lian shook her fist at her.
"You do a pretty good job of doing that yourself." Skye chuckled and the two continued walking down the street.
"Look at you, you're all thin and frail… Though I must admit you have quite the upper thigh, but that's only for old men to look at."
"My urge to beat you for your insolence is beyond the scales." Lian murmured and gnashed her teeth.
"And these clothes… are these silk?" Skye felt her up and rubbed her hands over clothing, "I guess you want to appear like either a curtain or a heavy set of lingerie…" she chuckled, "It's a common fact alcohol can damage silk, however."
The elf grabbed a bottle of liquor from a sleeping beggar and splashed it all over Lian's clothes.
"My clothes!" Lian shrieked and punched Skye across the face, launching her into a fruit stand.
00000000000
"AGHHHH!" Lex flew into the inn's wall.
"Well… I guess Lian must have snapped…" Zhin murmured as the enforcer groaned in pain.
"We need to find out where that stand is." Sarah said, "The good part is that we removed the clear and present danger that was the poison." She looked at her Pyre infused hand.
00000000000
Skye and Lian continued walking down the city until they reached the park.
"We're here, chicken legs." The elf laughed as she sat down on a park bench and looked at her hostage, "And if I am about right, your Lex has about five minutes before the poison shuts down his heart." She looked at the town clock across from her.
"Did you just call me chicken legs?" Lian snarled, "Alright, you wench, listen here." She pointed at the elf, "At least I'm not some disgusting sex object whose life revolves around a few minutes of pleasure with the gods know how many men. No wonder your legs are in such great shape, you open them all the time!"
"Go to hell, chicken legs!" Skye stood up and punched Lian across the face, "Just because you're a princess doesn't mean you're entitled to some respect. In fact, the only reason men respect women is for cash or for their looks, so I suppose you must be real damn lucky you have riches unimaginable! I bet men would rather get to know a scarecrow in bed than you, you pile of twigs."
Lian slapped her across the face.
000
"OOF!" Lex grunted as his face jerked.
000
"That must be that virgin rage, I knew of women who go mad after not knowing a man for so long." Skye chuckled, "It must be happening to you, seeing how old you are." She pointed at the princess' white hair.
"I wonder how it will be for your first man, if that ever happens… It may be like sticking a sword into a rusty old scabbard."
"At least it won't be like jumping into a pit of gorlocks as it is with you." Lian scoffed, "A wagon could go through your whorish gates."
Skye kneed her in the gut, then kicked her down to the ground.
"Get off me!" Lian booted her shin.
000
Lex barely stood up, "I'm feeling fin- AGH!" he fell to the ground when something hit his shin.
"Dammit!"
"That stand is implanted directly on your brain." Sarah revealed the makings of Lex's being with Pyre Energy, then pointed to a black area on his head, "That is not part of his body… and may be the enemy stand. But to get it out…"
"I have this." Zhin said and took out Thousand Hands.
"No you don't!" Lex shook his head, "Stop this!"
Sarah looked at Zhin.
"You need to be very precise, if you go in too deep you will stab his brain and kill him. If you do it right, I can just heal the hole with my Pyre."
"What are you going to do to me?" Lex stammered.
"Just… Close your eyes." Zhin told him, "Don't worry, Sarah, I'm very precise."
"Alright." Sarah said and called out her stand to hold Lex's head back, "I can't have you moving Lex, for your own safety."
"What are you doing!?" the enforcer yelled.
"This is going to be quick!" Zhin yelled, "Thousand Hands!"
Thousand Hands aimed its sword at Lex's forehead, then quickly stabbed it and retracted it.
"Pyre!" Sarah placed her hand on Lex's head and blasted it with Pyre energy, causing the blood that shot out of the hole to stop as it covered up.
"Agh!" Lex held his head.
"Worry not! Look!" Zhin said as he held the enemy stand at the tip of his sword.
It appeared to be an insect-like being with a heart shaped exoskeleton, but it quickly disappeared.
"What?!" the three yelled.
00000000000
They managed to take out my stand…. Skye thought to herself as she pushed Lian's head down with her foot, driving it to the ground.
This is not good, I can't let Lian know I can no longer affect Lex. But…. I can affect her, I just need to kiss her.
The elf removed her leg.
Lian quickly stood up and faced her foe.
"You killed Lex…. I will never forgive you for it!" she yelled.
"Lian!" a voice called out.
It was Lex and their allies.
"How did you find us so fast!?" Skye gasped.
"A pair of local Lawmen informed us of two women causing a disturbance of the peace in the park." Zhin chuckled, "We figured it may have been you two arguing over Bad Cop over here."
"Your time is up, Skye!" Sarah pointed at her, "We removed not only the poison from Lex's body, but also your stand! You have no power over him!"
Lian turned to face Skye and smirked.
"Damn it!" Skye yelled and jumped to kiss Lian.
"No you don't!" Lex yelled and called out The Law, then shot Skye.
The elf stumbled back from the blast and held her shoulder in pain.
"Ah… Ah…" she looked up and noticed she fell too far back to kiss Lian, "Hehehehehe…" she giggled uneasily an stood up.
"I was just joking, Lian. I really had nothing out for you."
Lian stood silent with her arms crossed as the wind blew across the park.
"It was all between girls, right? I never had an intention on killing your boyfriend over there, honest!" Skye spoke worriedly, "You also look absolutely fabulous! It must be all the royalty running through those veins. You look absolutely divine! They should make a beautiful goddess dress for you!"
"Pathetic." Zhin sighed as he saw the elf grovel.
"I didn't mean to call you a virgin or chicken legs either! It was all in the passion of anger!" Skye chuckled, "It was all in good girl time! What do you need to forgive me? I have money! Seris already paid me to get rid of that evil pirate that was sent to kill you! Do you want that!?"
Lian snarled.
"Or maybe you just want a heartfelt apology!" Skye stammered, "Oh please forgive me Lian, from the bottom of my heart! I hope we can be good friends even after all the mean things we did to each other! Oh I just want to forgive you with hugs and kisses!"
Lian shifted her tiara side to side.
"What a pain…" she grumbled and looked at the elf, "You truly are the worst person I've ever faced, and to make it worse you had some gods-awful competition…. Did you really think you can pay back all you told me... with Hugs and Kisses!?"
Power Khan appeared.
"RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH!" it released a fury of punches on Skye's body.
"RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH!
Power Khan kicked and punched her.
"RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH!"
"RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH!"
"RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH!"
"RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH!"
"RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH!"
"RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH!"
Skye's body bent at every punch that hit her, and sprays of blood came out from her face constantly.
"YOU BITCH!" Lian yelled at the top of her lungs and made Power Khan punch Skye so hard it sent her flying into the clock tower with such force that it broke the brick wall that made it up.
Power Khan retracted.
"At least I didn't end up being flat chested." Lian murmured and walked up to Lex, then kissed him in the mouth.
Sarah and Zhin's eyes opened wide.
"Let no one else kiss you ever again." Lian pulled away and continued walking down the road in anger.
"Perhaps we should let her cool off before we go?" Zhin asked.
"Oh yeah, definitely." Sarah nodded, "What do you think, Lex? Lex?"
Lex was already following behind Lian.
I'd like to say thank you to all my readers! It's great I can entertain people with this little spoof!
Have the best!
