KaRath: I'm an idiot. I hate setting up cliffhangers and then leaving them, because I forget what I'm meant to write about.
Matthew: (Sad face)
KaRath: Oh well, onto the sixth chapter I suppose. And for the people who actually were curious where I went… school started and I was hit by a 6-day 35 degree plus Celsius heat wave. And I still really can't concentrate on school.
Matthew: (Angry face)
KaRath: ^ This emotion. But yes, that's enough rambling. I suppose it's time for the sixth chapter of… I can't even remember my own story's title, because it's just too crappy in all honesty.
Matthew: (Sad face)
KaRath: So I need to think of a good one, sharpish.
Oh, and coincidentally, I've been reading a lot of good GS fanfiction and I am amazed by the quality of the content out there. It really puts pains into my heart to see an excellent story to nearly reach the zenith and it stops and hasn't been updated for two, three, or four years. I'm pledging to myself to not make this story like any of those, for those people who actually bother reading through my crap.
### In the previous episode….
"You know, if you told us, it would be much, much easier on you." A masked man with a sword prowled around a tortured person, bleeding heavily from his injuries.
"I will never… ever… tell you." The red-haired man gritted his teeth and knew what was incoming.
###
The masked man started to bring the sword down, but the door imploded.
Time seem to stand still as a person remarkably similar to the one tied down to the blood-soaked bench. The torturer's mouth was slowly moving and he desperately tried bringing his sword to defend himself. It was too slow compared to the boot of the angry red-haired man who broke the door down.
"Garet, you really need to calm down sometimes." Sheba walked through the mess of the broken door and started untying Tyrell.
"Dad…?" Tyrell was dazed and confused, and slipping into unconsciousness once again.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Mia stepped into the room, closely followed by Ivan. She cast Ply and all was well.
"Dad, what's going on?" Tyrell was awake now and feeling much better ever since the incursion into the ocean. He never wanted to try swimming. Ever, ever again.
"I don't think we should bother explaining. I think Tyrell inherited his looks, personality and brains from Garet," Ivan giggled.
"Less comments from the peanut gallery, lest they wanted to get a boot to the face as well," Garet muttered as he helped his son up.
###
Meanwhile, Karis and Matthew were heading towards Kaocho, where Karis was preparing for an epic showdown with the Emperor.
Matthew was clever enough to stay a good ten metres back, with Karis threatening things such as "castration", "beheading", "putting his head into his throne", and much, much more insults that would simply push this story's rating to NC-17. [I don't know the actual rating system TOO well, unfortunately. D:]
###
They finally reached Kaocho and immediately headed towards the Palace.
Matthew was now twenty metres behind Karis. See no evil, hear no evil, do no evil, he thought to himself, whistling a peaceful tune of peace.
The two guards brought themselves up to full height and puffed their chests out. "THE EMPEROR IS NOT SEEING ANY VISITORS TODAY!" They declared.
Matthew decided to take cover back in the town itself. He sprinted through the streets and told every civilian heading up towards the Palace to turn the other way around, lest Karis's rage affect them.
A massive explosion occurred outside the Palace doors, and the unfortunate guards landed outside Kaocho. Thankfully, no civilians were injured during the explosion, thanks to Matthew's courageousness (and alerts). Matthew sprinted back towards the palace doors to see Karis fuming and entering the Palace. He quickly chased Karis (a pretty sweet feat, considering Karis used Jupiter powers).
The Emperor was pretty pissed when his favourite doors were broken down, and decided to vent it on Karis. "So, you're the intruder! Guards, take them away!" He stated.
Matthew was still whistling peacefully and had his hands deep inside his pockets when the Emperor's best troops were tossed around unceremoniously and discarded outside the door.
The Emperor was afraid now. This was ridiculous! How could his personalised guard be taken out by a single, pathetic girl?
Karis, due to her rage-state, heard that thought. "I'M NOT A PATHETIC GIRL!" She picked up the Emperor with one hand and shoved his head through the wall.
Matthew was still whistling and making small-talk with some of the Palace servants. "So, now that the Emperor's… uhh… disposed of, what do you people want?"
The female Palace servants were staring dreamily at Matthew, and he shook his head. "I'm sorry; I'm actually going out with her."
All the female Palace servants looked at the Emperor being smashed around, and visibly gulped and said to each other, "I don't want to die."
###
The Emperor was… well, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be Emperor after this. Karis was cackling, and Matthew was starting to be afraid as well. "I AM NOW THE EMPRESS OF KAOCHO! ANYONE WHO WISHES TO BECOME EMPEROR AND EMPRESS MUST DEFEAT ME!"
Matthew tried to sidle out of the room, but it didn't work. She pulled him closer and he struggled to no avail. She laughed evilly and forced her lips onto his.
Matthew found this deeply erotic, being dominated by Karis in front of everyone in Kaocho.
He could hear the whispers of swooning women.
"I wish I could have him…"
"I wish I could dominate him like that…"
"I wish I could tie him up and…"
He quickly shut out his hearing before his innocence was ruined.
###
Ivan tried fighting back, but to no avail. Mia had him pinned down.
Ivan was thankful for the small mercy that Garet and Tyrell were currently catching up with some father-and-son time well away from this room.
Oh wait…
Sheba was giggling in the corner.
He stuttered, "T-t-th-is isn't what it looks like Sheba! Help me! Please!"
She winked coyly. "No. Now that Mia has you pinned down…"
She handcuffed his hands together. "Thanks for your help Mia. Enjoy your time with your special someone, here's a list of his fantasies."
Mia laughed. "No worries, Sheba. Enjoy the present."
Ivan groaned and was about to scream out, but Sheba smashed her face into his, and he fell silent. Mia winked at Sheba and stepped outside of the room as Sheba started undressing Ivan…
###
On the other side of the world, Matthew could only struggle against his bonds but not break out of them.
He had to admit, the former Emperor's bed was pretty spacious. But still, come on. Here he was, getting dominated by Karis…
Karis walked over towards him. "I always wanted to do this…"
###
She did not just do that.
SHE DID NOT DO THAT.
Oh god… what the hell gave her the courage to perform… that?
Matthew was now untied and seeing that Karis was regretting her decision. There was only one way to show that it was okay. He turned her around and kissed her.
I mean, it's not every day that Matthew received a worship of his body from an angel. Karis left all her fingerprints on Matthew's abdominal muscles…
###
Because I'm too lazy, pretty much Karis and Matthew give Sveta a pardon, then promote a pair of honest, un-ambitious people into royalty in Kaocho (courtesy of Sveta's mindread).
The reunion was quite uneventful, except for the fact Matthew stood there awkwardly with Karis and Sveta talking as… ladies talk.
They decided on their next course of action to proceed to find the other members, but to first return to Kalay to report about their discoveries.
### End of Chapter 6: Domination

Flint: Welcome to Flint's corner of awesomeness!
Me: WTF? T_T
Matthew: ^o^
Flint: ^_^
Me: I refuse to let this corner happen. [Proceeds to hit the backspace key]
Flint: [Hits the author on the head]
Me: nb hngjsgsngsg
Matthew: I think he's out for the count.
Flint: I think he is too. Yeach… he's drooling on the keyboard... .
Flint: Well, pretty much, this is my corner to ask the GS people any questions that any reader may have! Yes, because KaRath is so desperate for reviews, he's going to enable anonymous reviews ^o^
Matthew: I suppose as long as they're not flaming it should be all good. ^_^
Me: Flint, you didn't have to hit me that hard.
Flint: Details. Alright, so how about some questions for Matthew and KaRath for the first interview section?
Me: Sounds good to me.
Matthew: [Happy face]
Flint: Alright readers, send in your questions through PM or through reviews! If you're going to ask something embarrassing, just do it through an anonymous review ^_^
Me: Pretty much, I'll answer anything as long as it's not overly disturbing or overly intrusive.
Matthew: He's also pretty sarcastic.
Me: Yeah.
Flint: I hope to see some questions! 3
Matthew and I: ^o^
### End Flint's Awesome Corner
I don't like doing the "if I don't get X amount of reviews chapter Y won't go up" because I know sometimes you may be too lazy to review. It happens, and I don't mind. However, in all honesty, the biggest joy this author can have is when people can genuinely say "this story is great/awesome/funny/disgusting and I hope you implode into a million tiny parts". It puts the biggest smile on my face when I see the notification in the email.
I would love to have some reviewers that keep reviewing throughout my chapters. I really feel like I'm missing something from my stories, and if anyone can point that out I will fix it. It's a never-ending quest to fix problems, isn't it?
Thank you so much for reading this story. Another joy that this author can get is if people just read these chapters from start to finish, then smile and can say to themselves "I enjoyed it" and be waiting for more. I don't want to be one of those stories which have fifty chapters yet no attention. This just may be the part where my ego wants to be overinflated, but I want this story to be enjoyed by people, and I do give it my all when I read.
Thank you to my readers, I will endeavour to improve. Which I'm doing, look at the plot changes!
KaRath
