After a who-knows-when hiatus, Twinkle Star Sprites: X-Over Version is back on track! This time, with the villains! Enjoy!
There is a magical world where rabbit and cat hybrids and magician girls lived in peace. It was a place of light. But… there is ONE place that has to light. And that is Mevious' lair. The secret base of an evil green-haired young man with bat wings on his head. He sat on his throne lost in thought.
"Hmm… How can I take over the world now that the Twinkle Star have been used! I bet the pieces of it have been scattered across this world." Mevious lamented. "And if I try to find them, Lord Ran may give me a hard time… What a man to do…"
That was until a young beautiful blonde girl in a white and purple dress walked in with a rabbit by her side.
"Master Mevious! Master Mevious!" The girl said quickly.
"What is it, Dark Ran?" Mevious said in a bored tone.
"I believe I had thought up of a brilliant idea to take over this world!" Dark Ran said evilly.
"Oh?" Mevious said looking up. "Care to explain?"
"Well, have you ever heard of the Seven Deadly Sins?" The dark girl asked.
"Yes?"
"Well, I got an idea! Why don't you use the darkness to create a fake Twinkle Star?"
Mevious' eyes widened in realisation. If he did do that, then not even Queen Memory and her daughter could stop him.
"I see. And do you think this Twinkle Star will beat the original?" The evil man asked.
Dark Ran shook her head. "I doubt it. But I found something else out! If you create that dark Twinkle Star, it will summon seven people with dark ambitions here. They will do the work for us!"
"I see. And who are they?" Mevious quizzed.
"I-I don't know. I DO know what their signature sin they have. All you have to do is summon them!" Dark Ran said.
"That's right, nya! It's the perfect plan!" The Dark Rabicat nodded.
"Hmm…" Mevious thought before he smirked evilly. "All right, you got me interested. I'll do it! But do me a favour."
Dark Ran raises an eyebrow. "And that is."
"Write a letter to Queen Memory and tell her about my plan!"
Dark Ran's eyes widened. "What? But, Master, if we do that, Queen Memory will create her own fake Twinkle Star and recruit her own crew of goody two-shoes!"
"I know." Mevious smirked. "If this new power IS invincible to Queen Memory and Lord Ran then if we seize the Twinkle Star pieces so easily, then it wouldn't be much fun, would it?"
"I guess not." Dark Ran shrugged.
"Then do it. Write a letter and inform about my plan!" Mevious smirked.
"Yes, sir." Dark Ran bowed as she walked off with the Dark Rabicat leaving Mevious alone with his dark thoughts.
"Hah hah hah. The game is on, Queen Memory. And wait till you see my team."
All right, that's it for the boring prologue. Now, here is the REAL chapter starts. I proudly present the star of this chapter! And possibly, story! Me, Gaston!
I proudly walked down the village holding my trusty musket with my loyal sidekick Le Fou following with my latest kill. As I passed through the village, I notice the triplets were making googly eyes at me. Can you blame them?
"Why, hello, girls? How are things doing today?" I smirked.
"Oh, just fine, Gaston." One girl smiled dreamily.
"Yeah, we were just in the village." Another girl nodded.
"So how about you? Did you catch anything good today?" The last one asked.
"No, not really. Just the everyday deer." I said simply.
"Yeah, Gaston is the best hunter!" Le Fou agreed.
Tell the ladies something they don't know, eh, Le Fou? That was what I was going to tell him until I saw something. The only other figure who rivals my beauty. Belle.
"Sorry, ladies, I have to go now!" I smirked as I stomped over to my future wife.
Again, she is reading a… a… book. Ugh. What is with that woman? Books are so old people. And yet, she LOVES them with all her heart. When we married, I am so burning them.
"Hello, Belle." I said in my usual tone.
"Hey, Gaston." Belle replied.
"Reading again, I see." I noted trying to sound interested but I'm really not.
"Why, yes, thank you for noting."
"Your welcome."
Normally, boys will be shy about asking a girl out but I am the great Gaston. I don't do shy.
"So, how about you come to my tavern?" I asked politely.
"Sorry, Gaston, but I got a new book today and I was really hoping to read it!" Belle said.
I… I don't believe it. She refused to go to my tavern to read a book when every girl in this village would kill just to be near me. I watched her in shock and disbelief.
"Gosh, you got turned down bad!" Le Fou piped up.
I promptly backhanded him across the face. I then stormed off leaving my sidekick unconscious. How could she? How could she like books more then a handsome man like me? There have to be a way to convince her to marry me. But how?
That was when something shined bright from above me. I looked up to see something weird. A glass shard with a dark aura around it. I don't know what it is. But I bet if I catch it, people will be asking me to sell it. So then, I reached out and grabbed it boldly. Suddenly, I blacked out.
Ugh. My head. It is throbbing. Like something hit me with a hammer. Wait a minute? If I was hit by a hammer, that means something tried to kidnap me. But who is dumb enough to kidnap the Great Gaston?
I suddenly realise that I was bound or gagged in any way. I then sat down to find I am on a bed in some sort of dark castle. Hmm, if I WAS kidnapped, they were at least bound and gag me. Like it will help them.
"So you are finally awake, eh?" A dark female voice said. Female!? I turned to see a young but beautiful girl.
"Why, hello, there, young lady, how are you today?" I said.
"Fine." The girl muttered.
"That's nice. Um, so what exactly is this place and how did I get here?" I asked getting to the point.
"My master, Mevious summoned you here." The girl said simply.
"Mevious?" I asked.
"Yeah, he summoned you so you can join his troops." The girl said.
"Troops?" What is this girl talking about? I mean sure, it's no surprise that someone wants to recruit ME but I admit this is all a little confusing.
The girl just rolled her eyes. "You will find out soon enough. Now, get up."
My, my, haven't her mother ever told her that little girls should be seen and not heard? Personally, I was too busy getting into this to bother. So I got up from the bed.
"Good, now. Follow me."
I did what I was told. I REALLY didn't liked getting bossed around. Especially from a little girl but I ignored it for now.
After walking for one minute, we looked like we were going into a giant throne room. Suddenly, I heard voices.
"Okay, buddy, you got exactly ONE minute to explain all of this madness."
"I DEMAND to know why did you take us here?"
"Oui, I think we have a right to know!"
"Now, now, everyone. You will all get a chance to know why you been summoned here as soon as…"
That was when I saw him. That girlie-man is Mevious? You got to be kidding me? But, there IS something that creeps me out! And it's not his seaweed-covered hair.
"Ah, Mr. Gaston, I am glad you have finally came to!" Mevious smirked.
"Um, thanks." I said.
"So, now, the entire gang here. Perfect." Mevious smirked.
Entire gang? What is this girlie-man talking about?
"Let me enlighten you with a little story." Mevious smirked.
I slowly looked around at the six people around me. There were an unique bunch. There was a blue-clad chef who looked like he enjoying his home cooking a bit too much. The one in the yellow and purple looked like he is the chef's biggest fan. And there was a green weird flying monster. I am tempted to hunt it down if it wasn't for all of this. Speaking of monsters, there was one bigger than I am. Of course, bigger but not stronger and definitely, not more handsome. There was some old man in a black cloak with UGLY eyes. Brr… Man, all of these freaks and not one…
"Hellooooo! What have we here?" I smirked as I walked over to a young woman. "Hey, baby! Are you okay? Must be tough for a damsel to be distress in a dark place like this. But don't worry! Your faithful Gaston is here!"
I waited for the red-clad white haired woman to turn around.
When she did, my face went pale. She was a HE? No, no, it can't be! If she is a he, then… then… I HIT ON A MAN!
"Why, you big…" The red-clad snapped before somehow creating a green flame on his hand. Is… Is he a warlock?
"Now, now. Everyone. Let me just explain." Mevious shouted getting everyone's attention. "For starters, my name is Mevious and this is my castle. I will tell you about my plan. You see, you are all on a world surrounded by… blah, light. But I have some great ideas to turn it into a better one. By engulfing it in darkness. But… some people actually disagree with me. Mainly Queen Memory and her meddling daughter Lord Ran. They have managed to stop my plans to taking over this world. You see, to complete my dream, I need five pieces of something called the Twinkle Star. Whoever obtains it will get one wish. Me and my minions tried to get those pieces but were out bested by their power."
"But where do WE come in?" I asked. Of course, everyone agreed with me.
"Well, before you got blacked out, you got blinded by a black light, right?" Mevious asked.
We all nodded.
"Well, before you blacked out, you should have a glass shard."
The glass shard? Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. I went into my pocket and pulled it out. It had a black aura around it. I looked around to see everyone have one too.
"These shards are made-up of the Seven Deadly Sins. Pride, Wrath, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Greed and Lust. Each one of have one of these sins. With that, that power surpasses Queen Memory's power by far. Which is why you are here. I would like you to get the glass shards for me."
"And what if-a we don't?" The fat man in yellow and purple. Yeah, I am NOBODY'S slave.
"Nothing. But, I will give you something if you help me." Mevious said,
"Oh, yeah, what?" The man in the cloak asked.
"Anything you want."
"R-Really?" The green flying monster said in a strange voice.
"Like I said, if you guys help me get the Twinkle Star pieces, I will grant you any wish you with my new power." Mevious smirked as he got up and started to walk towards us.
"Think about it. Do a few errands for me and you can be swimming in gold, power, fame. Anything you wish."
Hmm, Anything I wish, eh? I don't know. For a girlie-man, he seems very dangerous. On the other hand, I DO have a wish. Every girl in town wants to marry me. But there is only one girl who refuses to even go on a date with me. Belle. She is as beautiful as I but thanks to her crazy old man, she is mad not only to go out with ME but read books instead. I could also see everyone else thinking deep in thought about this.
"Very well, Mevious. You got yourself a soldier." I smirked.
"Oui, I will fight too!" The chef known as Gourmand nodded.
"Yeah, I guess-a I will fight as well." The fat midget known as Wario said.
"Very well. I will help you. But only because knowing someone like you would just leave us here if we refuse." The girlie-man known as Ash sighed. Brr. I don't even want to look at him right now.
"Understood. I shall assist you." The old man known as Vexen nodded.
"Um, okay, I'm in for it!" The demon known as Ifrit said.
"Um, okay… I… I… guess I fight too." The floating creature known as Astro Man said.
Mevious then smirked evilly. "Splendid. But before we prepare for battle, I will explain about some things. No doubt Queen Memory will summon some troops to stop us and tell them everything about battles. You see, you will not fight the enemy physical!"
"What? Where's-a the fun in that?" Wario snapped/
"Yes, yes. I know. But thing is. You will be battling them in the skies."
What? The skies? This keeps getting weirder and weirder. Hmm, after a bit of talking, I finally understand it. Apparently, we are supposed to go into these weird things called "vehicles". Then, in a battle, an invisible barrier separates the two opponents and we are supposed to shoot these freaky looking enemies. The more enemies we shoot, the more attacks send to the opponent on the side. Though, if a duel goes too long. A creepy little ghost will appear on the field and whoever touches crashes their ship. No matter how strong they are. A little complicated. But. Give me a couple of masters and BAM! I am an expert at it. After all, I AM the Great Gaston.
Mevious sent us to get to the garage to pick up our "vehicles." we needed to battle Queen Memory's forces. I hope mine is a good one. After all, from what I been told, I am the leader! Only the best will suffice for me! Then, three boys appeared in front of with different heights and hair but the same outfits.
"Okay, before you need to battle Queen Memory's forces, you will need a vehicle." The tallest boy nodded.
"Don't worry, our special mechanical skills will pick out the perfect vehicle for you." The youngest boy agreed.
"And yet, we can't get ourselves a girlfriend!" The middle one smiled.
The other two then kicked him in the shins. The poor sap cried in pain as he collapsed to the ground.
"Don't mind him. So want to see your vehicle?" The tall boy asked.
"Um, sure." I nodded.
The tall and short boy walked away. I turned to looked at the kid who is still in pain but I just shrugged it off and followed them. I walked until they stopped. I stopped as well as I looked.
Oh. My. Gosh. And I'm not usually not impressed. Up looking over me was a giant red shiny beautiful vehicle of some sort. And what made it beautiful? It had MY face on the front. That just SCREAMS beautiful. I continued to look it over and then, I smirked.
"I love it!"
And with that, that was when the mighty adventure of Gaston begins. Fighting valiant soldiers. Recovering big treasures and in the end, getting a wish. This will be grand!
Level 1
Mevious told me to go to go some forest to find the first star piece. Ha. A simple forest? Seems easy enough. Especially since I am a great hunter. I will just use my hunter skills here and the star piece will be found. Unfortunately and strangely, I been searching for 15 minutes and I couldn't find it. How could this be? This may be unfamiliar ground but I am an expert hunter. Heck, I'm surprised nobody recognise the inter-galactic Gaston. Suddenly, I heard a rustling in the bushes. I turned to the direction to see a little boy. At least, I think it is a boy. His face, minus the eyes is in darkness. Maybe it's a monster. Great. The one day I forgot my gun. Oh, well. At least I will got my muscles. So I stomped over to the kid who instantly heard me coming and turned around. Needless to say, the poor freak got intimidated
"Um, hi, there." The freak said.
"Well, hello, there, little freak. And what the heck are you?" I asked politely.
"Um, I am a black mage."
"I can see one part of it but what's the other part mean?"
"Well, I can do magic."
"Magic? Ha! There is no such thing as magic!"
"Actually, there is…"
"Are you back-talking me?" How dare that freak?
"N-no, I was…"
"What a freak like you doing in here anyway?"
"Um, well, I am supposed to go find something called a star piece!"
Wait a minute. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you say star piece?"
"Um, y-yeah, why?" He sounded more shaky than before. Can't say I blame him.
I just gave a big hearty laugh at this joker. "You!? You are part of Queen Memory's attack force!? You're just a little freak! What good will you do?"
"I-I… I am not a freak…"
Oh, geez, he's not gonna cry, is he? "Yeah, if you say so, kid. Look, nothing personal kid but I got orders to kick your butt!"
"I-I…" He sputtered before he suddenly glared at me with fire in my eyes. "I will NOT lose to someone like you!"
What the heck? So it DOES have a backbone. But to have a backbone against ME!? This freak does not knows what he's up against.
Gaston faces-off against Vivi Orniter. Gaston wins.
Level 2
Needless to say, I easily defeated that little freak and as expected, I didn't take long to find the next star piece. A simple task as I thought. Now, all I have to do is find the rest of the star pieces. Piece of cake. Apparently, the next location is a snowy plain. Brr! And it's a little chilly. Especially since I am wearing a shirt with short sleeves. But… but I am the Great Gaston! Cold air is nothing to me! I am a hunter who hunts boldly through a… a… ACHOO! Maybe I DO need a jacket.
Anyway, after landing my handsome plane, I started to searched through the snow banks. It was just as difficult as last time mainly because it was so cold. While I better find it soon before I freeze to death. Ah… ah… ACHOO! Lovely…
"Gesundheit."
"Thank you." Wait a sec. Who said that?
I turned around to see a smiling tall red creature with one arm cut off and two eyestalks. Great. I just faced a freak and now I have to face another one!?
"Who or what the heck are you?"
The creature frowned. "Um, well, I am an imaginary friend."
I raised an eyebrow. "Imaginary friend?" The freak gave a happy nod. "Are you supposed to be invisible?"
"Huh?"
"Isn't an imaginary friend imaginary to everyone except the runt that created it?"
"We get that a lot."
Yeah, I'm sure. "Look, what a freak like you doing in a place like this?"
"Um, sorry, but you see, I came here on a mission."
"A mission to do w…" I was going to finish my sentence until he felt something in the snow bank. Deciding to get a grip of it, I easily yanked it out of the snow with my arm. As I expected it was a star piece.
"Ha ha! Success!"
"Hey, is that a star piece?"
"Hey, freak, what is it to you?"
"Um, sorry, but can I have it? I am supposed to collect it and keep it safe from Mevious' forces."
What? This freak is also part of Memory's forces? Man, that woman must be desperate. "Sorry, freak. But I can't."
"But why not?"
Man, this guy is a such an idiot. "Because I am part of Mevious' forces, you idiot!"
"What? You are?" Took you long enough. "Sorry but in that case, I have to get tough!"
Ha. That's a laugh riot. You may be tall but you have no muscle at all. In a matter of fact, you have no meat on you at all. You are like one over-sized toothpick who is just begging to get snapped in half. Not to show this freak that size doesn't matter but muscle does.
Gaston faces-off against Wilt. Gaston wins.
Level 3
And as well, I expected, I easily defeated that overgrown toothpick which means I get to keep the star piece. Ha! I'm two for two! Now, to go and get the rest. Mevious told me that the next star piece is on top of the clouds… Okay, he lost me there. On top of the clouds. This place is like a giant fairy tale. Bleh! I HATE fairy tales! In fact, I hate any kind of tale. But apparently, I can land my plane on the clouds. Whoa, freaky. Aw, well, I ignored the strange fact and stepped off my plane. Getting on the ground, I started to walk around a bit wondering where is the star piece.
As I did this, I started to think. I only needed three star pieces before I could get my wish from Mevious. Then, finally. Finally. Belle will fall for me. I am just a little unhappy though. If she would have just fallen in love with me in the first place, none of this would have happened. Why? Why is the only girl more beautiful than I is the only one who isn't attracted by me. But, all that can change. When I use my wish to convince her to fall in love with her, we will get married and have six or seven boys. Romantic, wouldn't you say? Just three more star pieces. If the rest of Mevious' forces are like the last two freaks, then this should be cake.
Suddenly, I heard a couple of voices.
"Well, I must say, Snoopy, I am impressed how you handled him."
"Thanks, I admit I was pretty freaked out there. If I lost, I would have lost the star piece AND my fur."
"Yes, he IS a disturbing man, isn't he? Still, on my world, I met more disturbing."
I decided to walked over towards and when I do, I saw a strange sight. Two small figures were standing victorious over a barely conscious Gourmand. The first one was a kid that was dressed nicely like a fruit cake. The other one was a small mutt. After meeting the last two freaks, I easily guessed that they were part of Memory's forces. How Gourmand lost to those two weaklings is beyond me. But then, again, he is just a cook. And you know what made things worse? That fleabag had the star piece! As leader of Mevious' team I CANNOT allow those losers to get the best of me!
"Hey, you guys!"
As I hoped, I took them by surprise as they looked up.
"Oh, dear. You don't suppose he's ANOTHER one of Mevious' forces?" The girlie boy asked.
"Looks like it." The mutt shrugged.
"Hey! I'm not just some any one of Mevious' forces! I am the leader, the Great Gaston!" I smirked.
"The "Great" Gaston?" The mutt quizzed confused. Um, yeah. I am a great man called Gaston. How hard is that?
"You two have something that belongs to me." I said.
"You mean this star piece?" The mutt asked. I nodded but he then narrowed his eyes. "Like heck, I am giving it to you! You already got two star pieces! I will not let you have a third one!"
Excuse me? How a rude mutt! "Trust me, mutt, you have NO idea who you are messing with!"
"I don't care who I am messing with I am NOT letting you have this star piece!" The mutt shouted.
"Grr! You DARE defy the Great Gaston!?" Gaston snapped.
"Yeah, I defy you!"
Grr…
"Look, sir, we already got the star piece after defeating one of your allies so there is no more reason to fight." The girlie boy said.
I was going to snap at him until something happened. Gourmand sprang to life and grabbed the star piece out of the mutt's grubby paws.
"You may not be my new ingredient, Monsieur but I will be taking this little trinket!" Gourmand said as he started to run off.
"Hey! That's not fair!" The mutt shouted. Seems fair to me, mutt.
"Snoopy, you must chase after Gourmand! We can't afford to lose THREE star pieces!" The girlie boy shouted.
"Okay, Cecil. In the meantime, take care of the "Great" Gaston so he doesn't interfere." Snoopy nodded.
Excuse me? Did he just used air talk on "great"? How dare he? Why, as soon as he started to chase my fat ally. I started to charge after him. But then, that Cecil wimp stood in my way.
"Sorry, Gaston but I can't let you pass."
Grr. Little brat! I don't care if they ARE my enemies, they should all surrender to me! And it looks like this kid is about to learn the hard way and what happens when they stupidly resist.
Gaston faces-off against Cecil. Gaston wins.
Level 4
Grr. I easily beaten that pansy kid but that rude mutt got away from me. Boy, did I ever wanted to have him a throw-rug. Sure, it's a small throw-rug but as long as he'll be dead, I couldn't care less. Well, at least Gourmand kept the star piece. Which means I only have to get two more. As for the fleabag, I guess I have to deal with him later since I had bigger fish to fry. This time, Mevious sent me to a field with a great wall. Hmm, looked pretty simple as the star piece might be under all that grass. Maybe I might actually stumbled upon it just by marching around a bit.
"Ah, so it seems Mevious sent us the same spot. How delightful…"
Um, I know that creepy French voice ANYWHERE. Taking a deep breath, I turned around to see the smirking face of Ash Crimson.
"Um, hey, there, Ashy."
"Hey, there, you big old oaf!"
What was that!? "How DARE you say that you your leader?"
"Monsieur Gaston, Mevious may appointed you as the leader but only because your sin opposes the leader of Memory's army!"
"Well, that makes me the strongest!"
"Oh, I beg to differ. I can beat you in my sleep."
Grr. He is enjoying this. Obviously, he is still mad for mistaking him as a girl and hitting on him. Ha! Serves him right for being a girlie-man. "Look here, bucko! I have you know that I am twice, nay, three times as muscular as you! If I wanted to, I can snap your scrawny body here and now!"
"Well, you are free to try but aside by the fact that muscle-heads are especially weak against me, but Mevious might be cross to find one of his soldiers dead, eh? And if you get fired, then how are you going to get your wish?"
Ugh! I HATE that guy! Who does he think he is dissing with a smirk on that ugly mug of his. I was about to scold him again…
Until we both heard a large snap. We turned to the direction of the snap to see two girls. One was a teenage human in a strange pink outfit with a demented cat stuffed doll. The other was a young rabbit thing with a weirder creature. They all looked in intimidation. Can't say I blame them.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? Two naughty eavesdropping girls decided to spy on us, eh? Well, that's a big no-no." Ash smirked as he created his green fire. "Maybe I should give you a spanking!"
The two girls gasped in fear at this.
"Now, wait just a minute, Ash!"
"Hmm?" Ash asked confused.
"That is no way to talk to a lady. Let me talk to them!" I smirked.
"Humph. If you say so." He doubted me but don't worry, I WILL gain his trust.
I then smiled sweetly and walked over to the two stunned beauties. "Hey, there, baby, what two defenceless girls doing in a place like this?"
"Um, well, we are looking for something." The human asked.
"Oh, I see. You lost your boyfriend?" I asked.
"Wha?"
"Isn't it obvious? No girl would come here defenceless like this? You are trying to find your boyfriend, right?"
"Well, actually…"
"Well, forgot about him! I am a MUCH better boyfriend!" For some reason, Ash groaned at this.
"But… I don't even have a boyfriend!"
"Either do I!" The rabbit insisted.
"Really, well, that doesn't mean you should defy me as a boyfriend!" I smirked as I held the human's chin.
"N… N… NO! I don't even know you!" The human shouted.
"Yeah, either do I! You are a bad man trying to be nice to us so you can kidnap us and make sure we will never find the star piece!" The rabbit girl shouted.
"CHAO CHAO!" The little freak thing shouted.
I blinked twice in confusion as I turned to my team-mate. "Um, Ash. For some reason, I failed to get them to fight for us."
Ash just gave a sigh and shrugged his shoulders. Looks like we got another fight. This time with two feisty tomboys who are as spunky as Belle herself. Hmm, I suppose you deal with the tall girl and leave the rabbit to Ash.
Gaston faces-off against Sakaki. Gaston wins.
Level 5
Ha ha ha! Victory is mine once again! This is almost too easy! Now, let's see now, I beaten two freaks, a pansy and a tomboy! Humph. This is starting to insult me. At least send me an opponent who have at least HALF a chance! Sigh… Well, at least we got the star piece after dealing with those rowdy girls. Which means there is only ONE star piece before I can end this adventure and get my wish from Mevious once and for all. I flew my handsome plane into some ruins. It was a bit intimidating but nothing fazes the Great Gaston! I boldly flew on forward knowing that my chance for a wish won't be far! Suddenly, I saw something shining. I squinted harder to see a star piece. Bingo! That was my easiest success on yet! I was around to fly over to it and…
Huh? Is that a giant doghouse flying towards the star piece as well. And what is stranger that on the top is a mutt wearing a strange helmet… Wait a minute, mutt? That could only be…
"Snoopy!"
"So… we meet again, Gaston!" Snoopy said sternly.
"You! How dare you call me "Great" and not really mean it!"
"Because you are not great!"
"How rude! Do you know who you are talking to here?"
"Yeah! Someone who thinks they're all that just because they got a few muscles! Big deal!"
"Oh, you're just jealous!" I snapped before I smirked. "After all, it looks like you got a lot of winter fat on you!"
"Shut up! At least I have a reason for fighting!"
"Same here!"
"Oh, yeah! And what's that?"
"Well if you really must know. There is a girl I really like to marry but for some reason, she acts like she doesn't like me!"
"I wonder why…"
"Same here. Anyway, Mevious said that he will give me a wish if I beat you guys up and get the star pieces!"
"Don't tell me. After you get this final star piece, you will use it to make this girl fall in love with you!"
"Yeah. Pretty sweet deal, eh?"
"Sweet! You are willing to engulf a world of innocent creatures just so you can marry a girl who doesn't like you willingly?"
"Um… Yeah?"
"You have to be the most selfish person I ever met!"
"What? I want a beautiful wife to cook and clean for me!"
Snoopy shook his head. "It's looks like talking to me is like talking to Lucy Van Pelt which is like talking to a brick wall!"
"So what are YOU fighting for, wise guy!?"
"To save everyone from Mevious. And from YOU!"
Well, it looks like I will be able to get that small throw-rug after all. So, it seems my battle is against him which decide who gets the star piece. The challenges were easy but I came too far for a mutt to ruin my chances of finally marrying Belle for me.
Gaston faces-off against Snoopy. Gaston wins.
Final Battle
I proudly landed my handsome plane on the ground and got out of the seat. There, I jumped down from it and marched over to the star piece and grabbed it. I then looked at my latest victim. He was bruised from head to toe with his flying doghouse completely destroyed behind him.
"It's seems like once again, Gaston triumphed over a bunch of pitiful losers!"
"Indeed, you did!" A familiar voice said behind me. I turned around to see my leader.
"Mevious!"
"I must say, Gaston, I'm quite impressed! At first, I thought choosing you as a leader might be a poor choice, but as I can see, you got all the star pieces for me! Impressive!"
"Thus the usual response. But, enough about me. How about we get down to business?"
"But, of course. Give me the star piece and I will grant you your wish."
Finally, after all those pointless battles, I can finally get my wish. I was about to give it him until…
"I will NOT allow you to get the Twinklestar, Mevious!" A new voice said. We all turned to the direction of the voice to see a beautiful pink-haired woman.
"Hey, boss, is this…?" I asked.
"Yes, it is! It is my old foe, Queen Memory!" Mevious said.
She went over to the downed Snoopy.
"Are you all right, Snoopy?" Memory asked.
"Forgive me, Queen Memory. We failed you…" Snoopy said sadly.
She then glared daggers at me. "How could you? You could very well brought the end of our world and for what, your selfish wish!"
"Sheesh, why is it that every girl I meet today is being so feisty?" I asked.
"Ignore her, my friend. After all, the winner of this battle is already confirmed!" Mevious shrugged.
"No… No! I don't care if you got all the pieces of the Twinklestar! I don't care if you defeated my small army! I will NOT let you win and destroy my home, Mevious!" Memory snapped.
"Oh, yeah! And what are you going to do?" Mevious smirked.
Suddenly, Memory shouted to glow a white light blinding us.
"What the heck?" I asked.
"No, it can't be!" Mevious said in disbelief.
"It is. The spirit of everyone of this world and flowing through me right now. They want to protect their home and THAT'S how I will defeat you!" Memory snapped.
"Drat! Not here! Not after coming so far!" Mevious snapped.
Suddenly, I noticed something. My glass shard was glowing a dark black. And so was the star piece I got.
"What's going on?" I asked.
Mevious smirked. "Ah, it's not too late to turn this game around! Here! I will give you the other piece of the Twinkle Star! Use your desire to get your wish to defeat Memory!"
"Hey! Wait a minute! I held MY end of the bargain! To collect the star pieces!" I snapped.
He then shoved them into my arms. "I know. I know. But, unless you don't, you will never get your wish!"
I narrowed my eyes in frustration. Sure, these battles were easy but they were also annoying. And the fact I am fighting this preaching woman made it worse! I marched back into my plane. Thanks to this woman, I have to fight again. I think I should teach her that a women's place is in the kitchen.
Gaston faces-off against Memory. Gaston wins.
Epilogue
And that takes care of that! I once landed my vehicle, hoping that this time that it was the final battle. As much as I hated to admit, that woman almost beat me. Mevious then walked over to Memory who was on the ground battered and bruised with a few tears in her dress. He then picked her up by his neck.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Memory, you don't know when to quit, do you? The reason I gave you a heads-up about my plan and have you find a way to counter it is because doing you, it will too easy. And as you can see, my men have defeated you easily!"
He then started to put pressure on her neck while smirking.
"You know. I wanted to kill you so you don't have to face the new fate of this world. But, now, I will let you live so you can suffer."
With that, he threw her away like a rag doll. He then turned to me.
"Now, then, about your wish."
I smirked triumphantly.
I stood in front of Mevious with Lord Ran, her Dark Rabicat and the Griffon Brothers at his side.
"Well done, Gaston! It wasn't easy but we managed to defeat Queen Memory's army and kept the Twinklestar! And, despite being an evil master, I will keep my word grant you your wish!" Mevious said in an out-of-character happy mood .
"Thank you!" I smiled.
"So… what IS your wish?" Mevious asked.
"Well, you see, I think you may have heard this at least five times but I am the best hunter of my hometown. I got the respect of every man and the heart of every women. But, there IS a girl who is as beautiful as I. Belle. She would will make the perfect wife. But, to be honest, she is a little strange. She prefers to read books than go on a date with me. One day, I hope to make her see the light and I finally found how. I wish Belle would like to marry me!"
"Very well." Mevious nodded as he held up the Dark Twinklestar as it glows engulfing everything in darkness.
When the darkness clears, I found myself in a grassy field. Hey, wait a minute. I don't recall have any grassy fields back where I live.
"Hunky!"
What the heck? I turned around to see a small female dog drooling at me with heart-shaped eyes.
"My, what muscles! What handsomeness! Let me be yours!"
She then latched herself onto my leg.
"Please marry me so we can have ten kids!"
"W-Who the heck are you?"
"My name is Belle. As in the bells of our wedding!"
I couldn't believe my ears. HER name is Belle. I guess it's a popular name but still… It's either Mevious double-crossed me or that Twinklestar is defective. I was going to ponder further until I noticed something.
"Hey! You look familiar!"
"Like your ideal wife?"
"Um, no. Like a certain…"
"WHAT?" A new voice shouted.
We both turned to see much to my horror, Snoopy who looked just as horrified.
"The Belle you were going to enchant into marrying you was my sister!? Do you have any idea how sick that is!?" Snoopy shouted.
SISTER!?
"That does it! For Belle, for Queen Memory and for all the people you hurt!" Snoopy said as he got down on all fours, eyes glowing blood red, fur going all scruffy and paws became sharp. "I M GOING 2 KEEL U!"
Without a second thought, he lunged at me. I was too taken back by all of this to fight back the now psychotic beagle.
OW! OOH! YOUCH! STOP IT! HEY! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING? THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO COME OFF! NO! NO! NO! (chomp) AAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!
"Hmm…" Mevious mused.
"What is it, sir?" Dark Ran asked.
"I don't know why but I just thought I should have asked him which Belle he wanted me to enchant."
There's Chapter 9! (pants heavily) Finally… Sorry, sorry and a thousand times sorry for the delay! Next, I will work on a mini-series before updating ACFF:SR2. But for now, review away! (faints)
