Chapter Six: A… Peculiar Start(End)
[Witch Hunting plays]
(Everything is a mess. Reio is been surrounded by a swarm of Prinny clones, Ryuki and Asagi were both teleported to Seraph knows where, and on a gut call Celeste had made herself the impromptu leader… what else could go wrong) thought Yui to herself as she stood on guard at the Base Panel, located in front of the steps that the group came up to get to the courtyard. (And since when would anyone attack the Base Panel? This is odd…)
"Snap out of it Yui! Prinnies coming your way!" yelled Celeste as she made her way through the pack of Prinnies.
"Eh?" Yui faced the courtyard and easily took down the two Prinnies that were rushing the Base Panel. "Warn me ahead of time, would'ya?"
"Young thief," said a voice to the left of Yui that made her jump. "Trade places with me. Your mind isn't clear, and guarding the gate is clouding it more."
"A-Aramith I… Okay, got it!"
Meanwhile in the center of the courtyard, Reio was trying to fend off a bombardment of Prinny Barrages. Pissed off at the original Prinny's 'trick', his attacks had gotten a ton stronger, but his accuracy was suffering and he continued to leave himself open. He was barely holding them off when Celeste finally made it to him. Taking out a Prinny, he said, "Took you long enough, Angel Breasts! Were you TRYING to piss me off as well!"
Not paying him any attention, Celeste took out a trio of Prinnies that were about to attack the Marauder from behind. After positioning her back to his, she said, "Calm down! I believe if we take out the original, the rest will fall!"
"Are you a retard? That's not in his attack's descript-"
"No one in their right mind would allow their opponent to know ALL of their weaknesses. Trust me," she said assertively, while taking out another Prinny. "And get your butt in gear! Don't want to have to inform Ryuki of your sloppiness."
"Tsk! Fine. But you better not get in my way," said Reio as he held his sword parallel to his body. Scanning the area, he then said, "You got three minutes, before I let loose with a… modified version of my favorite move. If you get hit, it's your fault!"
"Three minutes then split," mumbled the Force Knight. "You got it!" She dashed into the crowd of Prinnies and began her search for the original. No matter how many she killed, it seemed as though more just appeared. After killing dozens of Prinnies, she looked at Reio who signaled that she had only thirty seconds left. Short on time, Celeste jumped in the air and executed a huge Lion's Roar that seemed to take out twenty more Prinnies, but before she could land everything went black, and then black and white. She looked around and saw that the entire courtyard was littered with Thrill Suckers that pierced the ground. Her eyes eventually landed on Reio, who smiled at her in a menacing way. Falling at an unnoticeable rate, Celeste's only concern was possibly dodging Reio's technique if he so chose to attack her…
-Prinnies' Quarters-
[Do Your Best, Girl plays]
"305!" BANG! BOOM! "303!" BOOOOOOM!!! "285!" Asagi was on a killing spree. From the moment she shot the first Hero Prinny in the head this battle had become a blood bath, figuratively since Prinnies don't bleed. As she went about her business of killing each replacement Prinny, her hopes were continuously getting up as she thought of her next challenger. "You know," she said while waiting for the 832nd Prinny to show up [meaning that there were only 168 left]. "If you were able to be the Main Character and you're THIS weak, I wonder how strong Mao could be?"
"Dood! You're comparing me to an overlord? You're psycho, dood…"
"I'm just saying," Asagi started before killing that Prinny off. "You've beaten a reincarnated Overlord-"
"He was a Prinny too, dood!"
"AND," she killed the next one off as well. "You beat Etna, who's as strong as an Overlord."
"But she wasn't even trying, dood!"
BANG! PWEH! PWEH! BANG! BANG! BANG! PWEH! BOOOOOOOM!!! "Even so," she continued. "You have those victories under your belt though. So I was expecting you to be a LITTLE stronger. *sigh* But alas, it is time for the Queen of Games to dominate your game and send it straight to hell!"
"Dood, the Netherworld IS HELL!"
"Oh yeah… well… er… You Know What I Mean!" She pulled out a gun that fired lasers and shot it straight into the air. After putting it away, she pulled out her Megagun Launcher. "Well it was fun, but you're not even 'Mid-Boss' caliber!"
"Don't blame me, dood! It's always been this wa-"
PWEH! PWEH! PWEH! BANG! BANG! WHACK! WHACKWHACH! PWEH! PWEH! BOOOOOOM! "Umm… how many is that now… I forget, but I'm done here. See you around, 'Hero'. And… thanks! Hahaha!" concluded Asagi as she headed back to the courtyard leaving the 912th Hero Prinny laid out on the ground.
"Thanks… for nothing… dooooood…" whimpered Hero Prinny as he wondered why he hadn't been beaten all the way to death.
-Etna's Room-
[Etna Boogie plays]
"*huff* *huff* You've… you've gotten s-"
"What's the word you're looking for warrior? Stronger? Sexier? Smarter?" said Etna as she circled around the roughed up Gladiator.
"Don't flatter yourself Demon Lord," said Ryuki as he picked up his Death Scythe. "I was just thinking… you've gotten smaller."
Multiple veins started to pop out of Etna's head, as the 'Beauty Queen' threw away her Longinus and replaced it with a Flare Phoenix. With her head facing the ground, she muttered something that sounded like, "… kill…"
Using this opportunity, Ryuki reached inside his right belt pocket, pulled out an Elixir, and downed it. Returning his focus to Etna, he said, "Kill? Kill who?"
[Disgaea plays]
Answering his taunt with a horrifying shriek, Etna attacked Ryuki, who blocked, and sent him flying through several of the castle's walls before finally crashing in front of the Item Worlder who screamed out and notified several vassals. Before they could arrive, Etna had grabbed Ryuki up by the throat, and punched him through another wall, sending him flying though midair for a bit before rolling to a screeching stop. While attempting to get up, Ryuki noticed that a manicore, a gargoyle, and a zombie had appeared behind Etna, who was ever so slowly making her way towards the Gladiator.
This is until she stopped abruptly. Noticing their presence, she turned to the three and said, "Manty, Gargo, Zommie… If you three don't head back to where ever you came from, and start goofing off as usual, I'll," she needn't finish her sentence as the three quickly dispersed seeing the malicious look in her eyes. Returning her gaze onto Ryuki, Etna drug her spear along the ground as she made her way towards him yet again. Standing directly in front of him, Etna stopped and said, "Smaller? WHO'S Smaller?"
Ryuki was on one knee at this point. Realizing that he was committing suicide inadvertently, he pointed out, "How'd you get this strong, Etna? When Mao was Overlord, I could have sworn that I beat you easily."
Etna lifted Ryuki up again by the throat, not amused by his comments. "I seemed 'weaker' since Laharl was trying to steal screen time and didn't necessarily want to become main character, so we used lower-tier weapons and skills. Now however, I WILL kill you. And I WILL enjoy it!3 Sucks to be you though." She cocked back her hand yet again, and continued on with the onslaught.
-The Courtyard-
[Underworld plays]
Reio was relentless with his attack, more so than he would have been due to the number of targets. It was a slaughter. Left and right, Prinnies fell to the ground, and on multiple occasions he nicked his comrades a bit. His attack was flawless, and he constantly kept hitting his marks. He allowed the number of enemies to whittle down to three before he stopped his assault. Sure he could have eliminated them all, but he wanted to tell off the original Prinny.
The Courtyard went back to its dismal colors and Reio stood in the exact center of it. With an evil look on his he glanced over to the Prinnies and said, "Any more tricks? Or do I have to-" At that moment Reio felt a painful blow to the back of his head. Enraged, he spun around while yelling, "You bitch! Who the hell do you think you-"
"You endanger your comrades, inflicting damage on some, and now YOU'RE the victim?" said a furious Celeste.
"Why I ought to," started Reio as he fell into an offensive stance.
"You 'ought to' what?" retorted Celeste as she too fell into an offensive stance.
The two of them continued to argue until a loud explosion was heard in the direction of the Prinnies followed by a haughty, but familiar laugh. "Ohohohohohoooo! What do we have here my vassals? Why are you all still here?"
"Master Asagi!" said all of her vassals simultaneously.
Pleased by their response, Asagi scanned the courtyard and saw something was amidst. "Uh, looks like there are some issues here." She looked at Celeste and said, "Where's your boyfriend or whatever he is to you?" The Force Knight blushed and shook her head. "Oh… oh well then I was just going to thank-" Suddenly a loud rumble was heard from a higher floor in Laharl's Castle. Slightly pausing, Asagi looked down in front of her and continued, "him… Uh why are there three dead Prinnies in front of me?"
"They were our opponents, Master," answered Celeste.
"I see," said Asagi in a matter-of-factly way. As she headed toward the dimensional gate she called out, "Well let's get a move on!"
"What about Ryuki!" yelled Reio and Celeste in unison.
"The fake Battle Master," questioned Asagi, who was still headed toward the dimensional gate. "He'll be here shor—ah ha, here he comes!"
"What are you talking about," asked the duo.
Asagi held up two fingers. "Look. Up."
At that moment a loud explosion occurred directly above the courtyard that sent rubble falling down on our protagonists. Amidst all of that however, Yui saw a rather familiar figure dropping down towards them. Shocked, she screamed, "Oh my god, It's Ryuki!"
Reio was the next to catch sight of him, which caused a smirk to appear on his face. "Heh, the bastard was always on time for everything," he said slyly.
Following Reio's gaze, Celeste saw Ryuki and let out a sigh of relief as she was comforted in the face that Ryuki was alright. This comfort was cut short though as Aramith yelled out, "You younglings better be prepared! Etna's coming this way!"
Hearing this, everyone except for Asagi got into a defensive stance and prepared to throw down with the red haired Demon Lord. Less than thirty seconds later, Ryuki crashed to the ground, creating a crater upon his impact with the ground. Before anyone could breathe, Etna appeared above him with her spear pointed at his throat.
"Any last words," said the Demon Lord, not really caring if there were any or not.
Looking around slightly, Ryuki saw his comrades and said, "Yeah… Ah Reio, doesn't Etna seem smaller?"
"Hmmm… You know, now that you mention it-"
"IF YOU UTTER ANOTHER WORD, YOU'RE NEXT!!" Etna screamed at Reio.
"Heh, told ya so," said the Gladiator as he closed his eyes. "Listen I know you're probably angry at me, but it's your own fault… well maybe it's mine for the poor choice of words."
"How is this MY… wait, what are you talking about," said Etna as she was thrown off by Ryuki's statement.
"Hahahahahaaa! I got beat up cause I used the wrong word! Hilarious," laughed Ryuki hysterically.
Etna picked up the Gladiator by his neck and said, "Explain or die!"
Ryuki smiled. "Heh, you are smaller… rather shorter since you aren't wearing shoes."
"Huh?" Etna looked down and saw that Ryuki was right, she was barefoot. Throwing Ryuki towards his allies, she blushed out of embarrassment. "Er… I guess I… Man that was stupid… ya know?"
[Sparkle, To Become A Star plays]
Asagi, who was finally at the dimensional gate, looked down at her watch and nodded her head, turning toward everyone she yelled, "Hey Etna, sorry to bother you while you're doing your crappy apology, but your carrot-top flat-chested ass better find a new place to squat on soon! …Uh er… did I just say something naughty?"
"Asagi! So, you want to piss me off as well," Etna aimed her Flare Phoenix at the Overlord's neck. "Fine then, I hope you're prepared to DIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!" Suddenly, a large bluish beam reminiscent of the one that destroyed half of the Gymnasium, came crashing down on the front half of Laharl's Castle. Whipping around and witnessing this, Etna said to herself, "Craaaaaaaaap! The Prince is gonna be hella pissed at me. Oh well, it's not like he'll kill ME. So it's no big deal." Turning back to her opponents, Etna yelled, "Hmph, that's it? You missed! How useful is a final attack if it misses-" She cut herself off as she finally turned around and saw that everyone was gone, and all that was left was the rubble from her fight, and a letter.
She went over to pick the letter and laughed as it read:
Dear Laharl,
I'm so sorry for destroying your castle, but seeing as I am the main character now,
that means I basically have free range to do what I like. I hope this letter finds you well,
and also don't hurt Etna. She did everything that she could given the circumstances.
Still, if you are angry, the ONE person that you SHOULD blame for this is Hero Prinny
(who should have 3 lives left now). I also hope that no one finds out about this,
wouldn't be good for your name if other Overlords found out that your castle
was all but destroyed while you were out. Take care.
My condolences,
Asagi, the Main Character (And Queen of Games :D)
Finishing the letter she heard the screams of the Prince returning from slaying an Overlord and thus getting his title back. Placing the letter in her pocket, Etna said, "Would this be a mess if someone 'found' this letter. Hmmmhmmhmhmmm!"
