Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who has read this far! I really appreciate it! I finally had time to work on this (winter break). The chapters may be coming slowly, but thank you for your patience and please enjoy! :3
Transmission 2
He was a disgrace to wizards and warlocks everywhere! The supposedly great Dark Flame Master didn't even know what a summoning circle was. And he wouldn't allow us to acknowledge his true name. He forbade us to use it because he was embarrassed by what the filthy Muggles would think! He was a traitor worse than Judas…
To make matters worse, he always tried to foil Master's and my plans. Whenever we trained or battled in our headquarters, using our weapons or powers to counter each other's technique, he'd quoth "Stop it already! You'll break something!" How boring and responsible!
Or when Master used her Bubble Spray to create a powdery mist, sending puffy white fog into the air, he'd command us to "clean up our mess" or whatever other rubbish he was spouting! I say he was just jealous. Envious of the bond between me and Master. And he was probably annoyed that we possessed knowledge and skills he now lacked after giving up his dark powers. Have you ever heard of such a thing!
Even Master agreed that he was poisoned by the human world and its tainted, blasphemous manuscripts (naughty magazines). But perhaps he wasn't entirely diluted. His former glory did assist us occasionally. Like when our great Far-East Magical Napping Society Summer Thereof came under attack by an evil international organization. Dark Flame Master was able to teach Master the alchemic amalgamations (math problems) that were needed to relinquish the unholy threat (her math test). The only reason I allowed Dark Flame Master to train her by himself was because when Master and I are alone together, our magical powers combine and we unleash a devastating amount of energy that cannot be contained by any human or sorcerer! (In other words, we get too hyper and end up getting no work done).
For his aptitude in alchemy I will commend him. But even with this, I did not sense any positive karma coming from Dark Flame Master.
However, Master wanted him in our guild. There were really no tactical strategies I could execute against him… except trying to secretly assassinate him! I know what you are thinking… I must be a disloyal, treacherous servant to go behind my Master's back. But alas! I was doing it for her protection because I did not trust Dark Flame Master. I did not like how his emerald eyes gazed at her, as though they were able to penetrate Wicked Lord Shingan's most powerful barrier.
There were three times that I attempted the assassination. The first was when I tried to sacrifice him in a ritual but that attempt failed… Another time was when I tried to intimidate him with my Mjolnir Hammer after I received top secret data revealing that was he consorting with Master without my permission! The wrath of Thor himself could not have been greater! But Dark Flame Master was not fazed. Although he is now commoner scum, he still must have a strong defense against both physical and magical attacks from all of his years on the front line.
There was one other mission where I attempted to eliminate Dark Flame Master… and it was actually Master's decision to do so! She came to me one day concerned that Dark Flame Master had been possessed by an evil singularity. She wanted to purge him! I, of course, told her I would fight against him because it was my duty as her servant. But I honestly was overjoyed to finally have an excuse to get rid of him! And so, we prepared to ambush him on the night of the next full moon.
We awaited his arrival at the local shrine. I camouflaged myself as Master stood boldly in the open, dressed in Victorian garbs, looking as cool and beautiful as ever… I imagined her as an elegant female warrior who showed no fear against even the most terrifying enemy! "I'm sorry," I heard her say. I snapped back to "reality." Dark Flame Master had teleported in front of her! "Yuuta…" she continued. It was almost my queue. "I will defeat you!" she proclaimed. Time to strike! I withdrew my Mjolnir Hammer and, catching him off guard, struck Dark Flame Master on the back of his head!
"Sure enough, I can see it!" I yelled. "The singularity!"
Please wait… Code now being decrypted… "Dekomori's Inner Thoughts" now accessed:
Did I really see some kind of evil spirit within him? No. What I saw was someone trying to take my Master away from me. But I am the only girl- I mean, servant for Master!
Time is up. Access now prohibited. Logging off.
I held my position and waited for Master to release her assault against Dark Flame Master. But his Special Defense held strong, rendering Master's signature move useless! Her "Vanishment This World" spell was not very effective…
However, such a minor setback could not discourage me! "Master!" I yelled. "This calls for THAT!" Master quickly deciphered this secret message which read: "Let's use our Double Team technique to lower his Accuracy!" We circled around him, running as fast as our stats would allow, chanting teases and taunts to confuse him. But Dark Flame Master saw through this and laid a critical hit on Master!
I went to help her up, but Dark Flame Master got to her first. He held out his hand to her… But he must have cast Paralyze or Slow on me because I was unable to move… Caution. Hacker detected… I was frozen… unable to fathom the possibility…
Caution. Data breech.
Master slowly got to her feet…. She looked at Dark Flame Master, directly into his ever-seeing eyes… But before I could tear her away from his Medusa stare, she ran away without another word… she ran past him, past me… without even looking back to see if I was okay… and I wasn't… I was a wounded soldier left behind on the battle field to nurse my wounds by myself… What is happening? I thought. She had been acting odd… Like she was possessed by a foreign entity… ever since that weekend…
Alert. Security threatened.
…
Warning. Firewalls down. Full data breech immanent.

Now accessing files from "The Trip To The Beach":
Mission accepted: Defeat the Kraken!
Master and I travelled across every check point on the continent so we could reach the Never Sea where the Kraken lay!
What a glorious day!
At least… that's how it should have been. My battle with the Kraken and the sun god Amaterasu had left me defeated… I was contaminated with Gamma sickness and Amaterasu's heat lasers had burnt my skin.
While I was recovering, Master had also been weakened. Being on the same soil as the Bureau had greatly affected her and Wicked Lord Shingan. And that was when Dark Flame Master struck. He used her state of vulnerability to his advantage. He cast some kind of curse on her that possessed her with a foul demon… and that is why she started acting so unlike Master after the Kraken mission. That sneaky goblin used her! Unforgivable!
But maybe if… If I hadn't been injured… and distracted… It wouldn't have happened… he wouldn't have been able to slip her a love potion… or whatever he did to rouse her… If I had been stronger… If I had been a better friend- I mean, servant… If I hadn't been so frivolous and oblivious…
Master had needed me. And not just because of Dark Flame Master's threat…. But because she was going through a lot… Having to face the truth that her father had departed to the invisible boundary lines and would never return… If I hadn't been blinded by Amaterasu's lethal rays or by the angel's glowing splendor… I could have defended her… been there for her… instead of HIM.
I prayed to the Gods that it was all an illusion… that it was just a Glamour set up by powerful runes… I wished that trip had never happened… that it would somehow disappear into a paradoxical rift and have ceased to happen… that it hadn't been a disaster worst than Sodom and Gomorrah… I prayed that it never happened… because Dark Flame Master wouldn't have…. Not long after that trip… Yuuta- I mean Dark Flame Master wouldn't have…. have… have stolen my Rikka from me!
