Author's Note: For any of you who have not read my other stories Ria is a favorite OC of mine.

She answered her cell phone with a firm yet feminine voice. "This is Ria."

"Ria, this is Mikogami. It's urgent I speak with your father immediately."

"Greetings Hades Lord. I am very sorry but my father is in a private meeting right now and gave strict orders not to be disturbed." Ria explained. "He and Bill gates are deciding who will be the next President."

"I want a soulless, heartless, mindless creature who will do our every bidding without question." Issa said.

Bill Gates shook his head. "We already did that. Have you forgotten about George W. already?"

"Oh, that's right." Issa admitted. "What do you suggest?"

"How about a cute little homunculus that no one will take seriously."

"So you want Sarah Palin?"

"Exactly!"

"Is it something I could assist you with?" Ria asked.

"I doubt it, it's a matter of saving the entire world from being taken over."

Ria lifted a single eyebrow. "Again? Didn't we have to save the world just last month? It's not another army of Justin Bieber clones is it?"

"Mercifully no, this time there are curry zombies that have infected and taken over Youkai Academy. Their next step will surely be to spread out into the nearby city. From there they will spread out into the entire world! They have to be stopped quickly."

"Really?" Ria purred. "Oh me oh my well we simply can't have that. It would completely ruin my lord father's plans for Christmas toy sales. Youkai Academy where my dear sister Moka is? Well I'll simply have to deal with this terrible disaster myself."

There was a short pause on the other end. "Are you sure you can handle it on your own Ria?"

"Quite sure Hades Lord, I have the resources of Fairy Tale behind me after all. Naturally I'll stop this threat no matter what it takes."

"All right then, I leave it in your hands Ria."

Ria clicked off her cell with a huge smile on her face and speed dialed a in house number.

"Fairy Tale Special Operations Section."

"This is Chief Operations Officer Ria speaking."

"Yes Ria-sama!" The voice on the other line came alive. "How may I serve you?"

"I have a special little job for you."

On top of the Academy roof top a blonde woman was surrounded by her devoted followers. They were all hungrily devouring plate after plate of curry and would help her bring the wonders of spicy food to the pallet of a bored and disinterested world.

The instructor / water spirit / would be ruler of the world (including Gary, Indiana!) danced about triumphantly.

"Mwahahahaha! Cooking is art! Art is explosive! Explosive means spiciness! For too long I have been forced to watch helpless people endure the blandness of fake curry. Now I will see that everyone gets to enjoy the flavor and spiciness of real genuine curry! In this world fake curry is rampant. It's so tragic! Soon I will bring the world to it's…"

"Hey, isn't that a plane? I've never seen one here before." One of her curry zombies pointed up into the red sky.

Aspara was cut off and looked heavenwards. Sure enough there was what looked like a jet high above them. As she watched something seemed to drop from it and the jet swiftly broke to the right and fled the area.

Aspara's eyes widened. "My only regret is that I didn't eat more curry."

A few seconds later there was a blinding flash of light followed by a mushroom cloud climbing a thousand feet into the air.

Ria was not surprised when Mikogami called her back. She answered with the same light tone as before. "Hello again Hades Lord. The problem has been dealt with. I assume you are calling with your thanks?"

"MY THANKS?" Mikogami screamed in her ear. "YOU USED A NUKE!"

"Only a small tactical one," Ria said pleasantly. "The school's barrier will keep the radiation from spreading, though of course I wouldn't recommend going back there to rebuild for a few thousand years. I did say 'no matter what it takes.'"

"Do you have any idea what you have done?" Mikogami demanded furiously. You've killed thousands of innocent monsters, destroyed an institution devoted to understanding and co-existence between monster and human, and you also killed you own sister Moka!"

Ria waited a moment to be sure he had nothing more to add. "I'm still waiting to hear the negative."

"…"

Chuckling she shut off her phone. "And they actually used to say one nuclear explosion could ruin your whole day."
