"Thank god…mid terms are finally over." i said. Even after the literal hell i went through in ne-no-kuni. Mid terms still sucked. i entered the train. I saw a girl with black hair done in twin braided pigtails. Her hair covering one of her eyes. "Can i sit here?" i asked the girl. She nodded. "Thanks." i said. I soon fell asleep on the train ride. I woke up to the sound of the train stopping.
"Last stop…mogeko! Mogeko!" the train announcer yelled.
"Mogeko?...the hell?" i asked.
"Ehh?" the girl next to me asked. Just as confused as i am. I looked around and it seems like me and the pigtailed girl are the only ones on the train. I sighed.
"Should have set an alarm on my cell." i said. With no other option me and the pigtailed girl got off the train.
"What is this station? Mogeko…never heard of it." the girl said.
"Neither have i…name's minako by the way…" i said.
"Yonaka...so what did we do now?" yonaka asked.
"Only thing we can do...find out where the hell we are, and then find a way home." i said. We began walking
"...not a single attendant. Is it just that backwater? But no seriously. I've never even heard of this station." yonaka said.
"We'll just keep moving…hopefully we'll find out where we are eventually." i said. We kept moving. We found a bunch of posters. All giving off an obsession with red papers, pasta, and prosciutto. I like that ham too. But this is a bit much. But what creeped me out the most is the obsession with high school girls. I don't want anyone at my school to know about my powers. But i think i'm not gonna have a choice soon. Most girls have maize or a switchblade for self defense. But me…i have a twin barrel and sword i can summon whenever. After more moving forward. And even finding a pack of the ham in question. Which was surprisingly fresh for something we found on the ground. We found more posters. They just get weirder and weirder. Something about roasting killing cuckoo. Now i have a craving for chicken. The next one about a fire safety lesson for fire breathing arsonists. Neither me nor yonaka have fire powers. The few next ones were about some place called mogeko castle.
"Got stiff shoulders? bad back? We recommend prosciutto!" the note read.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" yonaka yelled.
"Yeah, i tried that, didn't work." i said. Yonaka looked at me with a look that screamed why. "My shoulders were killing me! I was desperate! Okay!?" i yelled. We kept moving.
"Minako…do you feel like we're being watched?" yonaka asked.
"Yeah…i do." i said. We both looked at a hole through the fence…something ran by it. It was hard to see through the darkness. But it looked like some sort of cat creature. It stared at us with disturbing eyes looking into our very soul. It gave off a high pitched chuckle as it ran by.
"...we need to get the hell out of here." i said.
"Y-y-yeah." yonako said. We kept moving and found more posters.
"How much can you like prosciutto? It's not even starting to look like a word anymore." yonaka said.
"Tell me about it..i'm willing to pop open a pack and make a sandwich every now and again. But this is a bit much." i said. The last poster was sinister…"I WANT GYOZA!" and it was written in blood. I made a mental note to not touch any gyoza I find here.
After leaving the station. We found ourselves in a forest…i hated it. I never liked being in an forest at night. Even in the most crime infested cities. You have street lights. To warn you of danger. And you have buildings and walls preventing something from getting the drop on you. You don't get any of those luxuries in a forest…well, unless you're a ninja. And unfortunately. I am not.
"This…place…is weird…why did we end up here?" yonaka asked.
"That's something i'd like to know." i said.
"...we should head back." yonaka said.
"Yeah…who knows. The train could be firing up…maybe if we run fast enough, we can get by whatever the hell we saw through the fence" i said. We turned around…only to find a little yellow cat thing.
"Is that a stuffed toy?" yonaka asked.
"Mogege!" the yellow thing yelled.
"Guess not." i said.
"It can talk?" yonaka asked.
"Yeah, i can talk, mogege." the little yellow thing said. It walked closer. "You two are pretty cute." the little yellow thing said.
"W..what?" yonaka asked. Creeped out…not that i blame her.
"High school girls right? Moge-tan loves high school girls!" the little yellow thing said..okay i've had enough.
"Touch either of us. And i'll crack open your perverted head. You little yellow creep!" i yelled.
"hmm…feisty. Mogegegege! Hey guuuuuuysss!" the little yellow thing yelled. And soon an horde of the little bastards was now in front of us.
"You and moge tans…wanna have fun?" the yellow thing asked.
"Hell no!" i yelled. Yonaka was too freaked out to say anything.
"It's alright…we'll be gentle for your first time! Right guys?" the yellow thing asked.
"Yeah!" the horde yelled.
"Yonaka…run!" i yelled. I grabbed her hand and began running. After a long chase. We managed to lose the little bastards.
"T-they're gone." yonaka said.
"Yeah…that was hell." i said.
"Is this a dream?" yonaka asked. "Ow!" she yelled as i pinched her.
"Nope…this is real…and this is high school girl hell…and unfortunately. We're both high school girls." i said. Yonaka looked utterly scared out of her mind.
"What do we do now?" yonaka asked.
"Only thing we can do…keep moving. Try to find a way to escape…and don't get caught by those little bastards."
"B-but those creatures…what do they want with us?" yonaka asked.
"Clearly they want to fuck us. And they don't seem to remotely care about consent. And i don't know about you. But i'd rather my first time not be with a horny yellow cat thing. So let's hurry up and seek a way out of this hell." i said.
"Okay…" yonaka said. Taking a deep breath. Trying to calm her nerves. We soon a came across a huge castle. A giant stone head of those cat things was on the top of the highest pillar.
"Whoa…that's a huge castle." yonaka said.
"Must be mogeko castle…" i said. I then sighed. "This is gonna suck…but we don't have a choice. Let's go." i said. We head towards the castle.
"Is that…blood?" yonaka asked.
"Well that's a good sign." i said with sarcasm. We kept moving and found the source of the blood…one of those little yellow things…dead.
"Ooogh…gross." yonaka said.
"These things…have a lot of blood in their bodies." i said. We headed towards the castle. A couple of those yellow things were swimming in the moat under the bridge. So far not trying to get into our skirts. So they can be ignored. We went up to the pedestals.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." yonaka read.
"It's never a good sign when that line from dante's divine comedy appears." i said. After finding more statues with quotes that fits right in with these weird little bastards. We kept moving and found the entrance to the castle. Yonaka opened the front door. And inside we go.
Floor 1
Welcome to mogeko castle!
"What a weird castle…" yonaka said.
"Yeah...little yellow bastards sure love themselves." i said. I heard the sound of the door ran to the front door desperately trying to open it.
"We're locked in!" yonaka yelled.
"Mogege! hello there!"
"...fuck." i said. We both turn around to find another little horde of the yellow creeps.
"Welcome to mogeko castle! Good evening dear yonaka and minako!" the lead yellow thing said. Oh god. These things know our names.
"Why do you know our names?" yonaka asked.
"My name doth be mogeko. I know every about thee! Now…let us play! In a sexual sense!" the mogeko said. As we walked towards us. "Mogege!"
"NOOOO!" yonaka yelled. I sighed…alright i'm done with this scared girl act…
"Fuck it." i said. I summoned soul eater in my left hand. The arm of the night in my right.
"Huh?" the mogeko asked.
"If you knew everything about me…then you should have saw this coming!" i yelled as i decapitated the little bastard. In thirty seconds the main hall was now soaked in blood and corpses of the mogekos. "That was refreshing." i said i turned around to see an utterly confused yonaka… "yonaka…i'll make you a deal…you don't tell anyone at school about this ability of mine…and i'll keep you safe thorugh this nightmare…we got a deal?" i asked.
"...y—yeah." yonaka said. Still utterly baffled.
"Good, now let's get a move on." i said. We began exploring finding more prosciutto. Well at least we won't starve here. More blood soaked rooms. Always pleasant. And finding a mogeko who can't get glue off of himself. We soon found a room with a bunch of cardboard boxes.
"Mogege! Yonaka-tan minako-chan! Where are you!?" a mogeko from behind the door we entered. I pointed my gun at the door.
"Come on in mogeko! I've got a surprise for you!" i yelled. Ready to pull the trigger.
"This surprise isn't your shotgun is it?" the mogeko asked.
"No! Of course not!" i yelled. He entered. To be greeted by my guns barrel.
"You said it wasn't your shotgun!" the mogeko yelled. Sounding betrayed.
"I lied!" i yelled as i pulled the trigger. Sending him flying backwards. His head becoming bloody chunks on the way out. "Man these things are idiots." i said. I heard a bell ring. I looked back into the dining room to see all the mogekos dining on prosciutto salmon gyoza potato chips and minestrone.
"Delish! Delish!" the mogekos yelled.
"Well they're having a fun time…" i said. Yonaka and I went out the other door in the room. I looked down and found a note from…sullivan? He must have been here a long time ago. It seems like he was expecting to die here…but considering he's living with me now. He made it out. Its unnerving to know that the mogekos are endless…but at least they can actually die. Unlike the assholes from ne-no-kuni. We entered the next room.
"What the fuck?" i asked. The room was a dark void of madness. Distorted images of mogekos flying across the room. A bunch of blood soaked mogekos that have completely lost their minds were just staring at us. We continued through this room of insanity. The mad mogekos started to follow us. They couldn't reach us. But the fact that more and more were trying to get at us as we progressed through this dark void made it made this a moment i'm going to be seeing in my nightmares tonight. We soon found a door out of the room.
"Well…there goes a good chunk of my sanity." i said.
"Minako…can i have a hug?" yonaka asked. I did what she asked.
"This way…" a whisper said.
"Now i'm hearing things! We're so doomed!" yonaka yelled.
"I lend you my help." the whisper said. The way to the second floor was blocked by mogekos. Considering we want out of this place. Not to go further in. i left them alone. And went through the door on the other side…thankfully it isn't another void of madness like the other door was. The room in question had a lot of bizarre nick nacks. There was another mogeko statue like the ones we saw on the way in here. But there was a statue of kurotsuno next to it…yeah. I'm planning on vandalizing that bitches face. There was two figures. One was a witch in blue while the other was a demon wearing red. Both cute girls.
"Hello misses, welcome." the mogeko in the room said. We both had our guards up. "No need to fear me. I won't attack either of you. I much prefer…to sit here and drink tea you see. And don't worry the mogekos won't come here. Since they're eating." the mogeko said.
"Whatever…i'll gladly take help wherever i can find it…so who are you?" i asked.
"Me? A somewhat strange mogeko…yes i suppose you can call me that." ssm said. Calling him that for convenience.
"U-um i…" yonaka said. Clearly still nervous.
"Oh, please, do take a seat." ssm said. The couch was pretty comfy. And honestly? It was nice being able to take a break for a minute. "So, you wish to escape the castle?" ssm asked.
"Yes." both me and yonaka said at the same time.
"I see. Yes, well, naturally…then you must set your sights on the upper floors." ssm said.
"You know…i would say that makes no sense. But considering the room next door is a void of madness…logic is out the window with this place." i said.
"Indeed…this is not a normal world. Normally a human should not wander in…" ssm said.
"This is…another world?" i asked. Ssm nodded. "Oh for fucks sake! Is it too much to ask that when i end up in another world, it's someplace pleasant. Like i don't know. A world where angels and demons get along! Not another nightmare world!" i yelled.
"It would seem this is not the first time you found yourself in another world." ssm said.
"Yeah it isn't…the first time i ended up in THAT bitches world." i said as i pointed at the statue of kurotsuno.
"So you've made kurotsuno." ssm said.
"Yeah. she's a utterly awful brat. In a world that's essentially the criminal infested back alley of the universe. And say what you want about the mogekos. At least they can actually die!" i yelled.
"So that's why you are able to remain calm…you're already hardened to a nightmare like this…wait. Do you have that spellbook?" yonaka asked.
"Nope...left it at home…besides, it would be useless anyway, the book requires an ne-no-kuni demon to read it for it to work. And there isn't any ne-no-kuni demons in this castle.
"But what if there were?" ssm asked.
"Still wouldn't expect results. The demons of ne-no-kuni are only out for themselves at best. And fucking psychotic at worst. If we met a demon here. We would get a fuck off at best. A pipe to the head at worst." i said.
"...regardless. There is a door at the top of this castle. That will return you both to your world. There are other ways. But as minako said. Would be impossible for a human. So to return to the door at the top floor…seems most reliable." ssm said.
"Well…looks like we don't have much of a choice. Let's get going." i said.
"Before you two go. Best to take this." ssm said. He handed us a big knife. I gave it to yonaka.
"I promised i would keep you safe. But it doesn't hurt to have a way to defend yourself." i said. I turned around. I pulled out a marker and wrote on the kurotsuno statue. Brat on her forehead. Bitch on her shirt. And cunt on her leg.
"Thanks for the info." i said to ssm.
"Good luck…and don't let the mogekos catch you…though i suspect that'll be perfectly fine.." ssm said with a sip of tea. We left the room. After disposing of the mogekos blocking the stairs. We went up the next floor. After going through a hallway with another mogeko and a painting of a mogeko.
"Can we really trust what that somewhat strange mogeko said?" yonaka asked.
"Well, he didn't try to rape us…and if he was tricking us. Why give us a weapon? Knowing full we could use it on him as well…besides even if what he said about the train was a lie…the front door is locked up tight. So we don't really have a choice..if he's lying. We'll come back down and kill him. Then find the real way out." i said. Yonaka still seemed scared. "I promised I'd protect you…and i will. You have nothing to worry about." i said.
"Thanks minako…when we get back…can we be friends?" yonaka asked with a smile.
"I would love nothing more." I said. We looked at the mogeko in the room.
"Mogege!" the mogeko in the room said. More mogekos entered the room. I blasted them with the arm of the night.
"What was the plan there?" i asked.
"...we're not very smart." the mogeko said. I blew his brains out.
"Yeah, no shit. Come on yonaka." i said. As we continued our way through the hell for high school girls known as mogeko castle.
