Arc 2: Enter The Labyrinth!
Chapter 8: The Death Game! Night 1!
Pairings: Falcom X Nodoka, Anri X Emma, Rika X Satoko, Julis X Stella.
Time skip. 6 PM.
Tomo and Makie are sparring with each other. Falcom and Nodoka are together, taking a stroll. Darkia is showering and Kei is reading a book. Himeko decided to join Nodoka and Falcom.
"I have to lead us to victory. No matter what." Darkia says to herself.
Nodoka and Falcom are holding hands as they walk through the forest. It's not dark at all either. The sun is out too.
Himeko picks out some flowers….before a fireball hits her in the back! Himeko goes unconscious from it. Stella appears and she stabs Himeko! The rich girl now has 3 lives left.
Rika, Satoko and Julis appear before Nodoka and Falcom! "We did not come for a fight. We came for Falcom." Julis says to them.
"You're not getting her back!" Nodoka yells.
"It's the rules. She's part of the death game, as a prisoner. If you win? You'll get the Red Gem back AND Falcom will be yours." Rika says.
"And you'll be free from this place!" Satoko adds.
"You arent going to hurt me?" Falcom steps forward.
"No. You'll be safe in a cage, watching the game unfold." Rika replies. Falcom turns to Nodoka. She kisses her on the lips.
"I'll be ok." Falcom assures Nodoka. Falcom gives Nodoka her sword.
"….Ok. You can have her." Nodoka agrees to it, she doesn't like it, but she has no choice. Falcom goes to the girls and gets handcuffed again.
"Two hours. Two hours the next death game begins. Good luck. Our victory is killing all of you. Your victory is to reach Falcom at the top." Julis tells Nodoka.
"We will win. We will complete our mission." Nodoka clenches her fist.
"We shall see." Julis chuckles and she and the others enter a portal and leave.
Two hours later:
The heroes come to the door that Tomo had seen earlier. Himeko, Darkia, Nodoka, Tomo, Makie and Kei, are ready to go!
Rika, Satoko, Stella, Julis, and Emma are ready too! Kaolinite is sitting in a throne chair at the top tower with Falcom by her side locked inside a small cage.
"Let the Death Game begin!" Kaolinite announces and the door opens. The heroes enter inside….
What they didn't know…AOI and her Death Droids enter too! They aren't part of this game!
…
Nodoka slides down a hill and fires arrows into the head of a beast. She fires more at another beast! Another beast comes from the shadows. Nodoka throws her knife into its head and dies. Nodoka takes her knife back and sheathes it. It's dark and the only light source is the full moonlight. Crickets chirp and owls hoot. Nodoka finds a very small shelter and enters inside.
"I had a feeling we were going to get split up." Nodoka finds a sink and washes her face. She sighs. Just outside the shelter is Sandra AKA Scarecrow. Nodoka hears her breathing from her gas mask. "Who is that?" Nodoka asks herself. The sound of breathing stops. Nodoka exits out of the shelter and walks a path. Nodoka hears the breathing behind her! She quickly turns around and sees….no one.
Scarecrow is following Nodoka, while invisible! Scarecrow grabs Nodoka and throws her down! Nodoka is perplexed! She sees no one! Could it be a ghost? Nodoka hears the breathing again. Scarecrow shows herself to Nodoka. "Are you with them?"
Scarecrow says nothing and strikes with her claws at Nodoka! Nodoka avoids it and fires an arrow at the Android Vampire. Scarecrow avoids it easily and grabs Nodoka by the throat and throws her again. "A mere human like yourself is no match for me." Scarecrow says.
Scarecrow summons her claws and is ready to strike Nodoka. "GRAAAAWGH!" A beast roars and leaps at Scarecrow.
SLASH! She slashes it once and it crashes into a tree, dead. Nodoka was shocked. Scarecrow didn't even look! Her eyes were on Nodoka the whole time! "What are you? Some sort of an assassin?"
"I'm more than that." Scarecrow says and snaps her fingers. The dead beast becomes undead and is now on her side! Nodoka gets Falcom sword out and prepares for battle!
…
Himeko is collecting potions. She has a small bag and has five potions in it. She found a lucky stash near some bushes. Himeko hears rustling and footsteps. When she looks behind her, nothing is there. She goes back to the bushes and drags a treasure chest. She opens it and finds another potion. "I'll read the labels when I get find a house."
SNAP! A tree branch gets stepped on. Himeko shines her flashlight! She finds nothing. "Hello!? Someone there!?"
Himeko takes a few steps. She hears footsteps behind her again! She turns around and nobody there. Alchemist is right behind her now!
Himeko turns around and sees her. She gasps and screams loudly! Her body falls to the floor as her blood was drained. She now has 2 lives left.
…
Tomo and Makie managed to be together when they entered. The two walk together with bags. Currently a few potions are inside them. "Let's find a resting area." Tomo tells Makie.
"Right." Makie nods.
The two heroes come across Satoko and Rika! Hunter and Executioner also join in.
"Heh. They with you?" Tomo asked Rika and Satoko.
"No. I never seen them before in my life." Rika answers, looking at Hunter and Executioner. Rika and Satoko pull out potions and drink them! They glow a black aura for a few seconds. Their strength and speed have increased!
"Let's not kill them too quickly. I want to savour every last moment of this." Hunter AKA Hala tells Executioner AKA Evary. Tomo and Makie ready their weapons! Amon's eye opens up.
"Those two are not normal." Amon says to Makie.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Makie asked him. Hunter and Executioner get their claws out and fangs are shown.
"Vampires. Maybe they're from this game." Tomo says.
"More like unwanted guests." Satoko says.
Rika gets her cleaver out and Satoko has her steel baseball bat. Hunter and Executioner's eyes glow red and Tomo and Makie's eyes go demonic!
Two battles split between the 6 girls, Rika vs Makie vs Executioner. The second bring, Satoko vs Tomo vs Hunter.
…
Agent AKA Alison is walking through forest. Darkia confronts her.
"So it seems you are not part of this game. Why are you here?"
"…A magical warrior? I bet your blood will taste divine~" Agent's fangs show and she licks her lips.
"You're an Android Vampire, correct? I sense a lot of darkness around you." Darkia has a light aura around her armor.
"You are correct, dear magical knight." Agent summons her claws. "My master plans on bringing the apocalypse to this world. We are ordered to retrieve the 3 sibling demonic artifacts that were once servants to her older brother, The Demon Lord: Moyasu." Agent tells Dark Magician Girl.
Darkia readies her long sword and shield! Agent snarls as she leaps at the blonde woman!
Darkia strikes swiftly downward! Agent is cut in half! She falls to the ground and her body sparks up. "Brave of you to come at me head on like that."
"Gaaaagh…"
Darkia starts to walk away, but then she hears Agent laughing! Her body regenerates! Darkia is shocked! "What!? No way!"
Agent gets back to her feet. "Let's try that again, shall we~?" Agent's eyes glow as she rushes at Darkia! Darkia blocks a strike from her claws with her shield. Agent pushes Darkia up against a large boulder.
"Your blood is mine!" Agent roars out demonically!
…
Julis and Stella are walking together along a path. A wild dog appears and it growls at them!
"RUFF RUFF!" It barks loudly and is hostile! Stella fires a fireball at the wild dog and it burns its left front leg. The dog whimpers and runs off into some bushes…
"Dumb dog." Stella scoffs and continues walking with Julis. A few minutes of walking and the two discover a shack. Before they can enter, Aoi appears.
"Hey! You have to help me! I'm lost, I have no food or water. I need your help." AOI is frightened. It's all just an act~
"Uhm. Yeah. We can help you. Let's get onto this shack and find resources for you." Stella says to AOI. The three get into the shack. Julis turns the lights on and finds a fridge.
"Gotta be some food in here." Julis looks through the fridge.
Julis finds some canned beef and shared it with her girlfriend and AOI. "How did you get here?"
"I just found the door opened and went through it. I was lost, almost got attacked by this giant bear. I ran and ran and couldn't find shelter." Aoi lies.
"Well. It's ok. You're with us now." Julis says.
"Nature calls. I'll be right back." Stella has to go pee. She exits the shelter and goes into some bushes nearby. Julis looks into the fridge for something else to eat. She's not liking the beef. The hanging light bulb in the shelter flickers off for a second and AOI is gone!
It flickers again and AOI is standing in the middle of the room! It flickers again and she's gone! "Stupid light! I can't see when you do that!" Julis argues with the light. She fridge has no light and it's old. She looks again and the lights go out! "Seriously!?" Julis summons a ball of pink fire in her hand for light.
AOI is right behind her! Her large fangs out! She growls and chomps down onto Julis's neck! Julis cannot scream to get Stella's attention! Stella has no idea that her girlfriend is being blood drained! AOI drinks so much blood from Julis, she dies.
"Raaaaaargh." AOI pulls away from Julis's bloody neck. AOI licks the blood off her lips. "Very delicious." AOI goes invisible and hides Julis's body as Stella enters back in the shack.
"Stella! Julis just fell down a ditch! She's hurt bad!" Aoi lies to the redhead.
"Take me to her!" Stella says. AOI takes Stella outside and near a ditch. Stella calls out to Julis! Stella jumps down to the ditch and looks around for Julis. She sets off a trap! She steps on a very thin wire. Two machines rise up from the ground. "What the?"
FIRE! Two harpoons get fired out and hit Stella in her left shin, and her right arm! AOI is watching with a sadistic smile on her face. "Stella! Don't move! I'll get you out!" AOI jumps into the ditch. She slashes the harpoon wires with her claws.
"Thank you. No go find Julis." Stella says. She takes the harpoons out of her and blood leaks out of her holes. Stella looks into AOI's eyes and she cannot move! "What is this!? I can't move."
AOI gets face to face with Stella and digs her claws into her neck and drains blood! Stella gags and chokes. AOI licks her lips as she drains so much from Stella, she dies. AOI lets go and Stella falls backwards to the ground, dead.
…
Nodoka is running away from Scarecrow. Nodoka has minor injuries as well as a lacerated arm. Scarecrow is hungry for blood. Nodoka fires an arrow at Scarecrow who has a protective barrier around herself. The arrow explodes and the shield is still up. Nodoka fires again and again! Nothing is working! Nodoka stumbles upon a rope. She pulls it and quickly ducks! Two long cables swing down and collide with Scarecrow! They zap her! Her protection shield had no effect against the trap!
Nodoka escapes Scarecrow. The zapping stops and Scarecrow isn't damaged badly at all. Scarecrow has lost Nodoka and can't smell her blood due to the zap she took. "GRAAAAAGH!" She roars out loudly.
Nodoka enters a cabin and finds a medical box and begins to tender to her right arm wound.
…
Makie, Rika and Executioner are still going at it! Executioner has both girls in her hands! She chokes Makie till she passed out. Makie gets thrown to the grassy ground. Executioner strangles Rika! "A mere human such as yourself is no match for me!" Rika tries to fight back but she goes limp and then…SNAP! Her neck is twisted the opposite way.
Satoko is down for the fight. She got kicked into a tree by Hunter and she's knocked unconscious. Hunter and Tomo have a gun showdown! The two fire off rapidly while also dodging rapidly.
Executioner grabs Makie's sword. Bad idea… Amon glows and Executioner immediately drops him. She looks at her right hand and her chrome is exposed. Amon burned right through it. Executioner kicks Makie in the gut.
Tomo and Hunter both punch one another! Tomo goes flying and hits a tree. Hunter falls to a knee. "You're tough, I admire that." Hunter chuckles. Executioner joins Hunter. The two aim their guns at Tomo. They fire. Tomo gets hit in the chest! Her heart burns away and she dies.
Satoko and Makie are still unconscious. The two Strigoi Vampire Androids go invisible and leave the scene. The first night is about to end. Night 2 begins. It's a full reset.
…
Emma comes across Stella's dead body. "Aoi….she's here. Just what needed in this Death Game. When I meet you again, I promise you. You'll be put to sleep forever!" Emma summons Shadowban and she mounts him. She rides away into the darkness. Night 2 is about to begin.
…
Dark Magician Girl is hurt bad. Her left arm has been ripped off and her leg as gashes in it from Agent. Agent left Darkia to die, but she wasn't successful. Darkia also got bit in the neck and got drained of some blood. She managed to get Agent off of her. Darkia passes out in front of a cabin.
Meanwhile…
Kei has been in a treehouse. She's playing it safe. "Don't worry, Falcom. We're going to save you and kill Kaolinite."
