A/N: This is the final chapter! I really hope you have enjoyed this story from start to finish, just as I have writing it. ^^
Anyway, final chapter. Yay.
After visiting Mao, Raspberyl strayed off to her room for time to think.
This prisoner of hers.. somehow gave her the creeps. He was so familiar yet- such a stranger it almost sent chills down her spine. But how could she be Overlord with those types of thoughts? She needed to be strong willed, and ready to conquer anything. Not weak-minded like the average Prinny.
And somewhere in her time.. she's been having thoughts that she's been denying. Like if she really wanted to be Overlord in the first place...
As she laid on her bed, she realized how stupid that sounded. Of course she wanted this title! Any demon would! Well.. maybe except the delinquents, but that's an exception!
She tossed and turned at the thought of a delinquent wanting to be an Overlord. How.. scary that would be. And yet, here she was, being Overlord of the entire netherworld. Wait- did that mean-
No, no no! She wasn't a delinquent, she was an Honor-student until someone had fooled her into becoming a delinquent! At least that's what she thought! If it was the truth...
Sometimes she wondered if what Mao, her prisoner, had said- had been true. But if it was true, what did it mean for her? Maybe it meant that she had been fooled. Deceived. By what or by whom, she didn't know. But whoever it was- they were going to pay.
That is, if it is true.
A knock on the door surprised her. As she turned the knob she found herself face to face with a prinny, who was a tad bit shorter then her, her being only so tall.
"Um, Overlord Beryl, dood, we have a problem, dood." The prinny said in a whimpering voice, as if it was ready at any moment to be thrown.
"Oh, what is it?" She asked quietly, surprised that there ever was a problem, and he quickly answered;
"Geoffrey has broken Mao out of prison, dood." He answered, and her eyes widened.
"He WHAT!" She replied. Then just as if she had read the prinny's mind, she added; "Sends the guards over there immediately, make sure they don't get away! If you don't do what your told, you won't get any salmon for a week! Go, now!"
"Aye Aye, dood!" The prinny said, as he quickly exited the room, leaving Beryl alone again.
After a long sigh, she decided to go after then, darting down the halls as fast as her little body could carry her. As she turned right and left, searching for the intruder and the escape prisoner, she became lost in thought about Mao, the one she had thrown in jail. Just why had she thrown him into a prison in the first place, when he may have been right after all? Even if her old title was starting to effect him, that didn't necessarily mean she had to throw him in jail, right?
Either way.. she had thrown him in prison, and now she was paying for it. She had a feeling he was valuable to her, and now that opportunity of having Mao by her sides has faded away.
But yet, as she spotted the two near the throne-room, she quickly took the perfect opportunity to sneak to the nearest wall and ease-drop.
"I don't wish to go with you, Geoffrey." Mao said politely. Wait, Politely? All the times she's seen him, she knew this Mao was far from the word, "polite". Maybe the delinquent title was starting to get to him.
"But Young Master, you must leave with me if you are ever to live the life of an Honor-student again!" Geoffrey said, shocked at Mao's refusal.
"I live a different life now. A more peaceful life- I wish not to interfere with the life of an Honor-student ever again." He lied, although his lies worked through even someone as detail-catching as Geoffrey. However, Beryl quickly knew he was lying, and she didn't know how- or why- but she knew that she just knew and that was that.
"So be it, Young Master. But if you ever wish to find me, you know where I am." He said, and those were his last words as he teleported away.
It was then, Beryl revealed herself, and Mao hid his surprise, and she knew he was trying to look like it was a warm welcome to him. But she had noticed right away.
Immediately he walked closer to her, and Beryl caught herself close to the one she had just recently put in prison. She took a step back.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Hold still.." He commanded, but she defied his orders as she took another step back.
"Why should I?" She asked.
Quickly, without answer or hesitation, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close as his lips touched hers in a kiss that was light, but still was considered any delinquent's dream.
It was an odd moment for Beryl, through.. her eyes were wide open and she tried to shove him away, fighting to get out of his grasps, and screaming death-threats at him, but he held on tight enough for her not to get away.
Wh-what what is this? She thought. This reeks of delinquency!
As she continued trying to pull away from him, she suddenly stopped by the sudden overflow of memories.
Everything that had been lost to her had suddenly come back to her in quick moment, the information enough to give her a headache. There was a dazed look in her eyes- and she had stopped struggling from the kiss against her will. These memories were being pulled from the very edge of her brain, where it had been buried as long as she had been brainwashed. As the memories arouse, important memories came back to her... who she was... being the #1 delinquent... who exactly Mao was... and she suddenly realized just who exactly was kissing her.
"Ma- Ma- MAO?" She screamed. He took her muffled screams and stronger shoves and kicks as a good sign and let go. She immediately took a couple steps back, her eyes widened in surprise, and she felt herself almost collapse from her shock. "Wh- wh- what the hell were you thinking!"
Mao couldn't help but chuckle, but quickly he made a straight face- not wanting to give Beryl the wrong idea.
Quickly Beryl herself took a look at her title, hoping everything would be normal, and realized with horror that it was "Overlord", and Mao's was "#1 delinquent."
"What the hell happened? Why am I the Overlord? Why are YOU the #1 delinquent? Why the hell did you kiss me? Did you forget that we are RIVALS!" She shouted, horrified of how everything had fallen apart in a matter of days.
"... Most of it was your fault, Beryl." Mao replied obnoxiously, shrugging. "Not mine."
"It can't be my fault!" She said digging her nails into her head as she stared back at him, terrified. "I would never want to be the OVERLORD! Why am I the Overlord? Shouldn't you have this title?"
He simply crossed his arms, an annoyed look on his face.
"You were brainwashed by the PTA, as I have explained many times!" He shouted back.
"I was... what?" She said, finally quieting down as she remembered being trapped in a crystal wall by the PTA and the brainwashing. But she also remembered seeing Mao by the wall next to Geoffrey, watching everything behind her back. "Oh.. well.. that explains everything."
"So are you ready to clean up this mess, or not?" He said.
"Why would you think I wouldn't be?" She replied.
-Fin-
A/N: Phew. I can't believe I actually finished this. This chapter needed some editing too.
Haha.. maybe I should've saved this for later. (The ending) It seems like Mao would've wanted to try less delinquent acts first, but I guess my excuse for the quick ending is the fact that he figured only a high level delinquent act would really save her. (And his title... mostly his title) Lol. Just thought I'd note that~
I'll throw a mini-celebration for this story, for this story being my first complete one. I barely ever write chapter stories, but when I do... I never finish them. Glad to see that I can, although this story took me a really long time to finish it when I was first writing it. (Months and months )
I loved writing this story, it was a lot of fun with this strange but creative idea.
Also, I wrote a prologue to this, figuring this story needs it. I'll post it sometime next week. Maybe write a sequel too.
So, yeah, thanks for reading. And thanks for those who reviewed it, you guys helped me keep on going. :3
