Summary
     Heaven and Hell were never on the best of terms. Even after all the
     events that happened, Pit finds out that Angel Land did make a pact
     with the Netherworld that the angels and demons refuse to acknowledge
     for the most part. The contract has expired and the pact needs to be
     renewed again to reassure peace across the universe. Upon realization
     that a new threat that calls himself Samael emerges, Palutena orders
     Pit to make allies with the demons. Not wanting to meet with the
     leader of the Netherworld though, Pit sends Li, Pepper and Kaguju to
     renew the pact. The trio end up being introduced to the Overlord and
     his vassals as well as what they are dealing with in terms of Samael.
     Soon, it becomes a race against time to find the beings called the
     Guardians in order to counter this powerful entity, but what will be
     the risks of the war? And is possible to fall in love during one?
Notes
     An FYI that I call my Dark Pit before the whole Pittoo thing as Lived
     Twilight or Li (and later on in the story I start using Pittoo to
     show how long its been). This is to prevent the overused Kuro/Crow
     from name from being used and also because Lived is just Devil
     spelled backwards but can also mean "To live". Twilight is in the
     middle of day and night therefore neutrality.
     And there are loads and loads of angel OCs. Pretty much the
     establishment of my interpretation of Skyworld.
***** The Mission *****
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
Angel Land...the place above the clouds...also known as Heaven that connected
all the worlds was at it's finest. For the past years, there hasn't been a
disturbance in Angel Land.
Captain Pit, commander of the royal bodyguards was fine with this. Pit was the
youngest bodyguard starting as young as six (in angel years of course) and been
the commander since. He was currently twenty-four (turning twenty five in a few
months) years old in human years but to angel years, he was older than that.
Then again, he accepts his age at fifteen when he goes to the human world. No
matter what, he'll always be treated like a kid and he hated that.
Pit hadn't gone to the human world in the while and for good reasons. He
decided that he would isolate himself from the world after an accident that
almost killed one of the royal bodyguards. If he didn't let his kindness get
the better of him, then the incident wouldn't have had happened. That meant he
would avoid everyone...especially Ike. Ike was a member of the Smash Brothers
tournament and shortly after the Brawl tournament came to an end, they parted
ways. He did the same for Sonic the hedgehog and Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town.
Sonic would continue to save his world with his supersonic speed while Ash
would travel to the Unova region and meet new friends. Ike adventure seemed to
have started again and Pit wasn't going to interfere.
Pit was bored now as a result, but he was fine with that. The place was
tranquil and he wasn't planning on leaving.
Then again, Abbigale kept warning him to keep his guard up because years of
peace always followed with chaos. Annoyed, he ended up hiding in the library
because he didn't want to deal with her ranting.
"What do you want Captain Pit?" A girl named Ninian Lebedev who referred
herself as Nina for short asked him. Ever since the young male librarian was
transferred to another portion outside of the palace, Nina took over. Actually,
she's been there for a while but gave the spot to said librarian before she was
forced to come back and be the librarian and for good reasons. She was a sickly
angel that could not move around as much without having spazz attacks. Didn't
stop her from bitching at people though.
"Just wanted to get away from Abbigale."
"You know, if she fails to find you, she'll send her apprentice."
"Yeah...I know...and with her comes Pepper...and then I'm fucked."
Pepper was the eighth bodyguard of the group and represented fire. She was the
loudest and most obnoxious member of the group not to mention very destructive.
If there was nothing going on, she would send Chobi to make things interesting
and that meant chaos and stress.
"Just don't tell anyone I'm here..."
"Alright, if you say so Captain. You know, you'll going to need a thrill soon
if you keep that dull expression on your face."
As Nina left, Pit just chuckled to himself.
"Dull huh? Since when have I ever been called anything but that?"
"Hiding from the old witch again?"
Something suddenly jumped on the table, in front of Pit; cat looking like
creature, with brown/red fur, long ear and fluffy tail sat in front of the
Captain. It flapped its wing gently as he looked at the angel with his bright
red orbs, match it its collar in which a silver bell was attached on it.
"Good thing she doesn't know your secret hiding." It purred. That was Sao,
Abbigale apprentice's pet. "Don't worry, if you scratch my neck, I won't tell
where you are."
Pit chuckled as he scratched the animal's neck. "What can I say Sao? I really
don't want to hear her yapping. If she's looking for me, she'll go to Sun-Wong
and he's a better listener than I am."
"Nyah~ But she could also need you... you know, Captain things..."
"Let Sun-Wong do that stuff. He's better at that stuff than me."
Pit sighed. He knew he shouldn't let Sun-Wong do all the work but he was the
Captain before him. Of course he would know what to do. Pit just got lucky that
he became Captain. If he had any say in it, Sun-Wong would still be Captain...
Sao moved his head, forcing Pit to scratch his left ear now. "But you can do
things he can't. No one would protect us from an evil eggplant attack better
that you, Captain."
Pit frowned at the mention of the Eggplant. He hated that thing so fucking
much. He was glad that he could counter it recently and turn that bastard into
an Eggplant, which was later eaten by Chobi.
"I'll send that thing to hell and back if that thing ever comes back to haunt
me!"
It was official. Pit had a fear and deep hatred for those things, but at this
point, he should have been used to it.
"I don't know how Li is so use to that thing!"
Lived Twilight also known as Li was his double ganger. His darkness. His other
half. The part of him he wanted to cast aside originally before they both
realized they couldn't survive without the other and just tolerated each other
before they became very close to the point that they might as well be twin
brothers. He's the fifth seat of the royal bodyguards and only gained it after
beating Isaak Sosuke the lightning angel and ladies men of the group. Li should
have had the same likes and dislikes as him but they ended up being very
different people. Pit was technically a nice person until you pissed him off.
Most of his inner thoughts were downright cruel and as time went on,
Pit...wasn't really the nice angel everyone thought he was, but that didn't
mean he was a bad angel either. Li on the other hand tried to be stoic and
sadistic but the facade ended up falling over time and he ended up being hot
tempered and easy to anger much to everyone's chagrin. Then again, Isaak loved
making him blush. Pit didn't understand why the two didn't just hook up
already.
"He-he, see? No one else could protect us from them than you~."
"Kaguju could...if he wasn't so secretive."
Kaguju...wasn't really an official member of the royal bodyguards. He was
twelfth seat but he was more of a messenger than anything and his entire squad
was all about information gathering instead of battling. Nonetheless, Kaguju
was extremely powerful but never had to work to do anything.
"Everyone has their strength and weaknesses..."
"...Yeah...you have a point but if those weaknesses almost get people killed
then..."
"Just make sure it doesn't. After all, the weak become strong when they can
triumph despite their weaknesses."
"...Coming from an animal like you...I'll have to remember that."
Pit stood up from his hiding spot and stretched. "Well...I guess I should go
see Lady Palutena."
"You are?" he said, jumping off the table. "I will come with you, hopefully
she'll give be a treat."
"I bet she will but don't get your hopes up."
Pit slowly tiptoed out of the library in case Abbigale was around and then sped
off. Nina yelled at him for running at the last second though.
===============================================================================
Pit was greeted by many angels that worked in the palace when he was making it
to the palace room. Of course, at the door was the newest member of the royal
bodyguards Niels "Ginger" Platinum. Niels just came out of nowhere one day and
demanded to be captain. Pit accepted his challenge and kicked his ass but Pit
admitted that Ginger had a lot of potential as one of the bodyguards. This was
mainly due to the fact that while he was arrogant and didn't pay attention to
his surroundings, his flying skills were second to none and he was good with
using his fists. As a result, he would take the previous member of eleventh
royal bodyguard after she was assigned an official top rank in the military and
could no longer stay in the palace as a result. He was a very impatient angel
and it annoyed the white angel that all he talked about was being a hero and
how he would surpass him. Pit had to be reminded that Ginger was younger than
him at sixteen despite looking the same age, but Pit was still older than him,
so he had to treat him with some respect.
"You're late Captain Armpit!" He taunted as he stuck his tongue out. "Lady
Palutena is waiting!"
"Yeah, I know. I was reading. Something you wouldn't be doing."
"!"
Sao snickered. "Good one Captain."
"Yeah. Just move Ginger."
"It's Niels Platinum!"
Pit just pushed him out of the way as he greeted Palutena who was sitting on
her throne.
"Sorry I was late Lady Palutena."
Palutena smiled warmly that made Pit's cheeks go red. Palutena was like a
mother to him but he she still made him blush easily. It wasn't hard given how
much of a troll she was.
"It's not a problem Pit. As long as you're ready to listen."
Sao went to Palutena's sides, ready to listen as well.
Ginger went inside the room despite not being summoned. Palutena was a kind
lady so she allowed him to stay. Pit told him not to open his mouth and he only
obeyed because he was in front of the Goddess.
"Pit, are you familiar with a demon called Samael?"
Pit tried to recall the name. "Yes...he is portrayed as either a saint or a
devil depending on who you ask in the human world, but as far as we angels are
considered, he is equivalent to Satan. Why do you ask?"
Palutena frowned. "I fear that Samael will soon escape his prison and attack
the world that imprisoned him in."
"...Do you want me to defeat and seal him again?"
"Yes...but I do not know which word he was sealed in...it will take time to
locate him..."
"...I see...so...I need to get Sun-Wong and Nina to start looking through the
books to find the world?"
Palutena nodded her head. "And when you entre that world, you must be very
careful. Samael is a demon that uses manipulation and illusions to his
advantage to turn everyone against each other. When you go, only bring two
angels."
"Oh! Pick me! Pick me!"
Pit glared at Ginger. "Ginger, you'll be staying here. You're not taking your
role as a bodyguard seriously."
"I am! I can't do anything when you leave me here! How do you think the girls
feel?"
"I don't have the girls always stay here. I just feel like they don't need to
go to battle that me, Li, Sun-Wong and Isaak usually handle. You and Rita stay
behind because you're inexperienced."
"But-"
"Please...don't argue now. I'll decide who when it's time."
Pit turned back to Palutena. Their gaze meant they already knew what they were
going to say.
"Excuse me my Lady..."
Pit left the throne room dragging Ginger by the cape. It's annoying how he had
to babysit him. Maybe if he gave him to Kaguju, then he would be killing two
birds with one stone.
"Please Captain, not the cape! It took forever to make this!"
Pit released him. "Then listen to me and stop embarrassing yourself. I wasn't
like you at this age for crying out loud!"
"But I'm a hero and I'm going to be different!"
"Whatever, just follow me and help me find Sun-Wong."
"He's in the garden with Himeno. He's trying again."
Pit rolled his eyes. Everyone knew that Sun-Wong had a crush on Himeno for as
long as he could remember. That would make him a pedophile originally but he
waited for her to mature into a full-grown woman before he asked her out...and
so far...none of that sadly. Both of them were equally shy of each other. It
was no better than being in constant denial of being in love like Isaak and Li
were. Sometimes he wondered if angels were any different from humans when it
came to love.
"So I guess it's time to ruin their time together again..." Pit said with a
sigh.
Ginger followed after his Captain toward the garden.
===============================================================================
Sure enough, Sun-Wong was trying to confess to Himeno. He was stuttering the
words out to the point that you couldn't understand them. It was a painful
sight to behold.
"Hey Sun-Wong, I need you in the library!" Pit called out effectively killing
the confession.
The two angels looked away, both blushing madly because Sun-Wong might have
gotten closer this time.
"Y-Yes Captain...What you need?"
"Go find a book about Samael with Nina and figure out the location of where
this demon is sealed."
"Sir!"
Sun-Wong quickly rushed off slightly humiliated. Himeno sighed when he was
gone.
"He was so close..."
"He'll get closer the next time. Himeno, where is Li?"
"..." She sighed again. "Fighting with Isaak..."
"Nyah~ Again?"
Sao was still following him.
"Oh, you followed me."
Himeno nodded her head.
"What is it about this time?"
The pink haired angel shrugged her shoulders. "It wasn't about Saber..."
"..."
"What could it be about?"
"With Li, the smallest thing that Isaak does would set him off." Pit said with
a groan.
"Drama, drama, always drama..." the pet said, jumping on Pit's shoulder.
"They're older than me and they need to grow up." Pit said with a sigh.
"Should I look for them Captain?"
"Nah, let them be. You have more important things to do like cook?"
"..."
"Nyah~, that was sexist, Captain."
"Hey, I didn't mean it by that!"
"You know that Pepper's division is the cooking one. Not mine."
Pit sighed. Ever since Brawl ended, they all voted on what each division would
be doing. Pepper ended up being the cooking division and despite her psychotic
tendencies, she was an amazing cook. Pit would still prefer Himeno's cooking
though.
"Besides, the twin sisters are on cooking schedule today."
"Ju-Shu and Táo-Shu?"
"Uh-oh, prepare for an explosion!"
"Yeah...it better be fried rice..."
"FRIED RICE!" Ginger cheered. "But I prefer gingerbread cookies!"
"Yum, gingerbread cookies~"
"That's a snack, not lunch." Himeno reminded him calmly. "I'm going to head
over to the third division. Mcenche is going to drive his men up the wall."
"Really? How unusual."
"Captain~ I want a treat, Lady Palutena had none..."
"I told you not to get your hopes up. Alright, we're head to the kitchen before
I go help Sun-Wong."
"Am I excused?"
"Yes Himeno. Make sure no one dies when around Mcenche."
"Or else you will have to clean up."
Himeno smiled cutely but to Pit it was rather sinister. "That's not my job is
it? All cleaning goes to the tenth division."
"Heh heh...oh yeah..."
"..."
"Well, I'll be seeing you Captain~"
Himeno waved good-bye as she flew off. Pit sighed as he looked at his wings. As
long as he was blessed by Palutena or kept the three Sacred Treasures on him,
he would be able to fly. However, without them, he was an angel that would
never be able to fly and it would piss him off. Especially since Ginger was one
of the best flyers ever...
"Captain, let's go! I'm hungry!"
"Me too~"
===============================================================================
Making it to the eighth division wasn't easy. Pit was on the lookout for that
crazy Chocobo Chobi. Honestly, he didn't understand why he said yes to Pepper
on keeping that bird. If he had a choice, he would go back in time and stop his
younger self from saying yes.
The food smelled delicious, but it wasn't Christmas cookies...or was it?
"Nyah~, smells good."
Ju-Shu was the one making something good. Her younger twin sister was nowhere
to be found though.
"Not done yet Captain! Stay out of the kitchen!" She yelled. Unlike Sun-Wong,
her speech was perfect.
"Nyah~ "
"That goes for you too Sao!"
"…"
"I want gingerbread."
"You get what you get or you'll starve. Unless you want to cook."
"Who was the girl that made the wonderful food when I first joined?"
"Nyah~, more drama ahead, Captain."
"It was Pepper." Pit told Ginger. "And before you say anything about marrying
the girl who can cook, remember she's asexual...or bisexual...or lesbian or
whatever she said she was..."
"Nyah~, she should make up her mind..."
"...What are you talking about?" Pit had to ask.
"Nyah~" he purred. "Never mind."
Pit for once was confused on what Sao was insinuating. He sighed as he left the
kitchen dragging Ginger with him. When he did, a Chocobo crashed into them
sending them flying.
"!"
Sao jumped down before the Chocobo's attack.
Pit and Ginger were not so lucky. "SQUAWK!"
"CHOBI! GET BACK HERE!"
Chobi noticed his trainer chasing after him and stepped on the two angels as he
ran away. Pepper did the same thing as she stepped on Pit...but Pit wouldn't
allow that and grabbed her ankle tripping her as a result.
"What the hell Pepper...I thought I told you to...err...my back!"
"Oh Captain! Is that you? My bad! I can't stay now! Got to get Chobi! He's got
my Wii Remote!"
"Bad thing, nyah~"
"Out of all the things Chobi could do, this is THE. WORSE. POSSIBLE. THING!"
"Nyah~ go for it then."
"Of course!"
With Sonic speed, she dashed off to retrieve her Wii Remote.
"…You okay Captain?"
"No...my back..."
Ginger was still looking at Pepper as she left though.
"... Want me to call a doctor?"
"No...I'm used to it..."
"Is everything alright?" asked another voice.
Turning to the voice, the Captain saw a grown up angel, wearing a long green
and white tunic. He had dark blue eyes, and long silver hair, along with not
one, but three pair of wings.
He approached them with a calm demeanor. "I heard such a loud ruckus... Are you
in pain, my child?"
"I'm fine." Pit said as he stood up instantly. "Can you get up Ginger?"
"Y-Yeah...still don't know why my heart is beating..."
"Here, let me help you..."
"I-I'm fine..."
Despite that, he still helped them to get up, softly smiling at them. Ginger
didn't like the smile at all and Pit noticed that he was hiding behind him.
"You live in this palace, right? Is one of you would be kind enough to bring me
to Lady Palutena?"
Pit looked at Ginger worryingly. Was this a good idea?
"Actually, there is a guy in the twelfth division whose purpose is to deliver
messages to the Goddess herself. Shall I have someone fetch him or should I
have him deliver the message for you?"
"Is that so? Well then, could you tell her that Seraph Lamington as arrived and
ready to meet her?"
Pit nodded his head. "Understood. Ginger, go get Kaguju."
"Did anyone call me?"
As if on cue, Kaguju appeared out of nowhere. Pit didn't understand how this
guy could appear and disappear whenever he pleased. It had its advantages but
other times it was just plain annoying.
"You and Ginger watch him."
"Oh that's it Captain Tip? Fine by me~"
He was so mysterious that no one knew what he was thinking. He was indeed the
wild card of all of Angel Land.
"... Would you hurry up please? This is very important..."
Pit scowled at the angel as he spread his wings and headed off toward the
throne room.
===============================================================================
Pit did not expect to come back and see that Abbigale was waiting to kick his
ass. The minute he flew in…
"You insolent child! How dare you avoid me!"
"Ugh...sorry...I..."
"No excuses, you have a meeting at the Angel Assembly later on tonight and you
will attend with Sun-Wong!"
"Argh..."
"Pit, is there something you need?"
"Y-Yes! Actually, there's an angel called Seraphim that wants you to know he's
arrived to speak to you about something important."
Palutena's kind expression became that of a concerned mother. "I see. Please
bring him here."
"...Okay..."
Pit didn't like having to run back and forth but if it were for his Goddess, he
would do anything for her.
===============================================================================
The white angel came back with the guest as well as Ginger and Kaguju following
them. Apparently, Kaguju and Seraphim stemmed a very good conversation that
Ginger did not understand at all that it ticked him off. Pit didn't like how
Kaguju could easily get information out of people without trying simply because
of how he acts.
"Yes, we use a similar technology to humans when it's about communication. We
only use messenger angels when we need to communicate with another sector of
Heaven. It's... more formal, I would say."
"I know what you mean. Pepper wants to do the same thing but Angel Land is so
old fashion~" Kaguju mocked. "And the Angel Assembly isn't making things any
easier."
"Ah, Seraph, it's good to see you." Palutena stated interrupting the
conversation on purpose. "Kaguju, you may leave."
"What? Oh my Lady, why must you treat me so?"
He stopped his conversation, turning at the Goddess and smiling at her.
"Lady Palutena, what a pleasure to see you again."
Kaguju decided to drag Ginger out of the room. Pit also excused himself. As the
trio left, Kaguju was prepared to use another route to spy on said
conversation.
"Kaguju! Don't be rude!"
"Not rude. Just cautious Captain. Come on Ginger."
"It's Niels Platinum!"
Pit gave up and ended up going through the secret route that Kaguju made. He
had a lot of them and no matter how many times Abbigale sealed them, there was
no way she could prevent Kaguju from trying over and over again.
"Charming... the one in white was your new Captain, right?"
"He's an immature brat that needs to grow up!" Abbigale huffed.
Palutena giggled. "Now, now Abbigale, Pit has defended us more times than we
could count. He has helped other rulers countless times and has been very royal
to all of us."
"A valuable warrior I see... anyway..."
He took a more serious tone. "Samael escaped, isn't it?"
Palutena's expression saddened. "Yes..."
"Don't worry my Lady, you can count on Celestia to help you find him... "
Palutena nodded her head in agreement.
"In any worst case, I can try to contact the Netherworld and ask for their
help. I doubt they will accept to help us, but it might worth giving a try."
Abbigale growled. "Not those bastards. We can never trust them at all."
"Abbigale..." Palutena muttered but sighed. "This might be one of the few
instances where we have no choice..."
"Remind me, Lady Palutena, you used to have a peace treaty with King
Krichevskoy as well, am I right?"
"Yes, I did."
"You will need to renew the treaty then. Unfortunately for us, King Krichevskoy
died twelve years ago, and it has been in complete chaos until his son took his
place as the new Overlord. I am afraid that if we really need their help, you
will have to settle a meeting with him."
Abbigale continued to swear. "Demons as allies… we really are in trouble if
it's our only solution!"
Palutena sighed. "...If that's the case, I'll send Lived to reason with him..."
"If it's your wish, I will go with that angel of yours as well. The both of us
will have more chances to convince him to meet with you. I will explain the
current situation to him as well."
Palutena nodded her head. "I'll also have Pepper go with Lived."
Abbigale just face palmed. "Why do you bring that crazy girl with him?"
Palutena just smiled. "In case things don't go well, she has her way of
persuading people."
"We will depart when they will be ready then."
"Abbigale, can you get Lived and Pepper for me."
"...Do I have to get that red devil?"
The two were silent as Abbigale slowly began to leave...before she started to
use her magic to hit the magic spot where Pit, Ginger and Kaguju were hiding.
Of course, the only one she hit was Ginger as he came tumbling down from the
magic that worked like a flash grenade.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"My eyes!" Pit shouted as he too came tumbling down.
Kaguju was a step ahead of them. He had sunglasses for this.
"?"
"Shame on you to spy! You kids are the worse!" She looked at Ginger and grabbed
him by the cape. "Have your parents taught you any manners?"
Ginger didn't take the insult well at all as he yanked his cape back from
Abbigale glaring daggers at his elder. "Screw them!" Ginger shouted. "We wanted
to know!"
Pit rubbed his eyes before he recovered.
"Pit...Ginger..."
"Sorry my Lady...Kaguju..."
Palutena sighed again. "It was faint but I could tell he was in the room."
"Oh, I see... "
"Can't trust that man either. It's like you can't trust Amails."
Pit snarled at Abbigale when she said that. She realized she went too far and
kept quiet.
"...Pit...Ginger...please look for Lived and Pepper, will you?"
"...Yes my Lady..." Pit muttered darkly as he stormed out of the room almost
slamming the door on Ginger who shortly followed after him.
"... Amails?" Lamington asked, curious.
"They're...one third breeds." Palutena explained thinking that Pit and Ginger
were gone. However, Kaguju was still around and she couldn't do anything about
it. "They have the wings of an angel...the personality of a devil and the heart
of a human...they were born into this world by forbidden means. There are
either Angel Amails, Human Amails and Devil Amails..."
"Oh... "
"It's a sensitive subject to the angels here..."
"I guess that's their worst fault. Even here in Angel Land, angels still think
they are pure and perfect beings, and anything no pure to them shouldn't be
allowed to exist..."
"Sadly, there is nothing I can do about that even though I am a Goddess. But
they don't need to know who's an Amail. It's very hard to tell who is an Angel
Amail but Human Amails stick out a like a sore thumb...and Devil Amails look no
different from real devils..."
"Sad thing indeed... "
"...Which is why I advise you from being anywhere near Saber. She doesn't take
newcomers well because of this."
"I will keep that advise in mind then..."
"That is it..."
Finally, the two angels made their way in.
Pit was not pleased with the two at all. Mainly Pepper though. Her hair was
mess but that was because she fought her Chocobo and won as she had the Wii
Remote in her hand. She dragged Li with her and he ended up having a bad hair
day as a result.
"I hate that Chocobo's guts Pepper!" Li shouted.
"He loves you~"
"Good day to you two, children." smiled the Seraphim.
"Good morning~" Pepper greeted.
"It's afternoon Pepper."
"I know, but the morning sounds better especially in Angel Land."
"So...we're here to basically...go to hell...wonderful...why am I stuck with
her?"
"Because Lady Palutena wants you two to team up." Pit reminded him.
"I'm dead..."
"Pleased to meet you, young ones," The male angel began. "My name is Seraph
Lamington, I rule over a part of Angel Land called Celestia, under Lady
Palutena's orders."
"Please to meet you~"
"The same." Li muttered rolling his eyes. He didn't care about formalities.
"Lived and Pepper, isn't it?" he asked, just to make sure he memorized the
names right. "Good, are you ready to go then?"
"We're leaving now?" Li asked annoyed.
"READY~" Pepper yelled as she dragged Li out of the room. Pit could only pray
for their safety.
"Oh, I can leave you some time if you wish to be prepared. I will go check the
portal and see if everything is alright for our trip meanwhile."
You do that. Pit thought to himself.
"I will give you ten minutes then." he smiled, leaving.
Pit sighed. He was still going to have to go to the library soon anyway.
===============================================================================
The ten minutes being over, they all when to the portal room, joining
Lamington, who welcomed them with an annoyed expression.
"We have a problem... the portal doesn't have a path to the Netherworld... " He
said, sighing. "I can create one, but that mean I won't be able to go with
you."
Li wanted to hit his head against the wall. Pepper grinned because an evil
thought crossed her mind.
"Oh, we'll be fine." Pepper said as she wrapped her arm around Li's. "We like
totally know our way in hell~"
"Sadly..." Li didn't bother pushing the red angel off. She was strong and he
was annoyed.
"... If you are that confident, then fine... Once there, ask for someone named
Flonne, and explain to her the whole situation."
Lamington turned toward the portal and opened it, using his magic.
"Oh, one last thing." he added. "Don't be afraid to play by their rules. Use
anything you need to convince them."
"I'm going to kick ass then if we can do anything." Pepper said with a
Higurashi grin plastered on her face. "Chobi, I'll whistle for you when I need
you~"
"SQUAWK!"
"God...help me..." Li muttered.
"I wish you luck then...but be careful; the Overlord isn't the most powerful
demon for nothing."
"And we're the mother fucking bodyguards!" Pepper declared. "We destroy armies
single handedly!"
Li just waved her off. "Can we go now?"
"Yes, please do."
And with that, they left. Lamington preyed for their safety. Unknown to the
two, Kaguju thought that the two of them alone wasn't going to be enough to
persuade the Overlord. When Lamington left the area, Kaguju used this
opportunity to jump in after them using his own magic.
Chapter End Notes
     Me: TBC with 6440 words. Notes!
     1. I set Pit's age around 24/25 but in Disgaea years its 2499 (so
     he's pretty much lived 1/4 of his angelic life). This is also why Pit
     seems to act more "mature". He's been the captain of all of these
     angels for a while and he's kind of tired dealing with so many
     personalities.
     2. Since Li is Dark Pit and Dark Pit is canon, I can tweak what
     happened in Uprising for this particular universe (because -cough-
     Golden Land). Since they're like twins in almost all of my stories
     anyway, they're very close but have on and off relationships.
     3. The term of Amails is already defined in Fallen Angel, but the
     actual definition will be given in this fic in due time. So what
     Palutena says is an obvious false facade to hide what the term really
     means.
     4. Pepper is going to be breaking the wall a lot and most of what she
     says is based on events that might have went on in the past in
     reality.
     5. The Angel Assembly is the angelic (more corrupt) version of the
     Dark Assembly in Disgaea. Their role will be huge as the story goes
     on.
***** The Netherworld *****
Chapter Summary
     Li and Pepper end up going to the Netherworld for the first time and
     it's not the same as the Underworld they remember. There they meet
     the trio that would help them defeat Samael…and actually encounter
     the demon for the first time.
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
Li and Pepper ended up in a huge city, obliviously occupied by monsters and
humanoid demons. To the horizon, they saw a big creepy castle standing out,
surrounded by a river of lava, with only one way to get inside.
"I see they changed the layout with us gone." Li joked to Pepper who was
already excited.
"Great great great! Let's just meet Flonne, meet the cute leader and leave! THE
BLOODBATH IS GOING ON!" Pepper screamed.
Li didn't care what gibberish Pepper was talking about. They began walking
while Pepper rambled about the event that was going on at the time known as the
2011 Hetalia Bloodbath.
As they were walking to the castle, they could sense some local demons along
with monsters glancing at them, but the angels just ignored them. Li should
have been fine given his appearance was a devil anyway. Pepper on the other
hand...well...she had the personality of one.
They made it to the castle. Obliviously, the guards; two dragons, didn't let
them pass.
"Move." Li ordered. "We need to see someone called Flonne."
"The Queen isn't here, kid. She's on duty." One of them replied.
"Oh, then get her over here. I got an urgent message."
"Duh, we can't do that."
"Why not? You guys being lazy?"
"No, we simply don't know where she is..."
"Oh...so this person is apparently a huge slacker then." He turned to Pepper.
"What now?"
"We need to fucking hurry up. Hima-papa is going to update in twenty minutes!
TWENTY FUCKING MINUTES!"
The dragons obliviously had no clue of what they were talking about.
"So, we just go in directly…I see how it is."
"I don't want to be late...late...late..."
Li sighed. "You're going to have to move buddy. My partner is going to
snap...for no reason whatsoever."
"B-but... we have orders..."
"Move."
"B-but-"
"Pepper is going to..."
Li sighed when Pepper snapped. She just pushed the dragons away with her
strength and forced her way in.
"HST!"
"!"
These guys were not expecting a crazed fangirl storming the castle with ease.
Anyone who tried to stop her got slammed into the wall. Li felt like he
wouldn't have to lift a finger at all. And of course everyone in the castle was
all "WTF" about the situation.
"MOVE BITCH! GET OUT THE WAY!" Pepper cursed as they actually started to move
the fuck out of the way.
At one point, everyone just left, leaving them both alone.
"Pepper, you make this way too easy."
"BLACK CODE! SS NINJA ALPACA IS GOING TO SINK!"
Li sighed. She didn't even need Chobi to do this much damage. Yep...Palutena
was evil.
"WHAT'S WITH ALL THIS NOISE?"
They stopped. On the top of the stairs stood a girl about their age if not
slightly younger with red pigtails and dressed in leather. Said clothes didn't
look appropriate for someone her age though. She stared down at them furiously.
"I'm trying to watch TV! Keep it down!"
While the soldiers stopped, Pepper didn't. She kept going and then stopped when
she heard the voice. Her tantrum stopped temporary as she looked at Li.
"Hey, I found someone important Li!"
"..."
"Good, keep your voice down..." Said the red haired demon, and she actually
left.
"HEY HEY HEY! WE NEED SOME AUTHORITY NOW! FUCKING BLACK CODE!"
Despite the angel shouting, all she was met with was silence.
"DEMONS COME ON!"
And again no one answered her.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Fire was coming out of her hands.
"Pepper please..."
"I WILL BURN THIS CASTLE TO THE GROUND!"
Just as she said that, a bucket of water fell on her causing the fire in the
fire angel's hands to burn out. Li just stared at her drenched appearance
before laughing honestly for once. This was the first time that anyone
attempted to pour water on Pepper given that no one messed with her in angel
land given that she was a psychotic angel especially during these events.
Pepper brushed the water off as she looked above. "IT. IS. ON!"
What she saw were actually two blue penguins with the bucket. They walked with
two pieces of wood as their legs, and had tiny purple bat wings as well. They
were also covered with patches, which made them look like living toys. Those
monsters were common in the Netherworld. They were called Prinnies.
"Oops! Sorry, dood! We didn't see you!" One of them shouted but didn't change
his expression.
It didn't matter what just happened, as the flames reappeared on her hands.
Water doesn't faze her that easily.
"BURN BITCHES!"
And she unleashed powerful fire attacks at the wall. Li just ducked when the
flames almost hit him. He did feel the flames go past his wings though.
"So much for negotiation..."
"DOOD!" They both screamed, running away.
Other demons got out of the way. Pepper spread her wings and looked in all
directions.
"WHAT PART IN THE WORDS "SHUT UP" ARE YOU UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND?" Shouted the
same demon girl from earlier.
"HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME? AND I'M ON HST!"
She threw her another bucket of water. "KEEP IT DOWN!"
And Pepper actually dodged this time. "SOMEONE LISTEN TO ME DAMMIT!"
"Pepper please..." Li wasn't even trying to calm her down anymore. He just kept
his distance and prayed that the mission wasn't going to be a total failure.
Next thing she knew, Pepper had a bazooka aimed at her. "Oh that's what you
want to play?" The red winged angel muttered darkly as she pulled both daggers
out of her tunic and chanted something very quickly. "Then…HELLFIRE!"
When the bazooka was fired, something blocked it. Out of the ground came a
fiery beast that protected his Master.
"Pepper...why are you summoning now? You can't be that mad?" Li tried to speak
but he should have realized that she wasn't mad. She was insane.
"Get her Ifrit and bring me Flonne!"
"Prinny Squad! Go!"
In barely two seconds, the room was filled with more of those penguin monsters.
Li just face palmed. "Pepper, please..."
"I WANT MY HETALIA!" Pepper cried as a ball of fire was forming in Ifrit's
hands.
"Attack!" Ordered the demon. All of those penguins suddenly threw all they
could find on the summon beast.
"Pepper!" Li called out reaching out to her unintentionally.
"Go hellfire on these weaklings!"
Ifrit threw meteors at the penguins. She destroyed more of the castle than
hitting the penguins, but the damage was all and the same. Pepper used her fire
magic to heal Ifrit if he was actually damaged. At one point, the Prinnies
threw so much stuff that Ifrit was simply buried under them.
Li sighed. "Pepper, call back your summon..."
Of course, what she ended up doing was that she had Ifrit eat some of the trash
thrown at him and then burn the rest. Ifrit...looked kind of ill. Then again,
if the summon failed, she would use Chobi and facing that Chocobo was worse
than fighting off a beast from hell.
Now the demon girl was standing next to them, and wasn't pleased with what was
happening.
"Hey, we didn't come here to fight!" Li finally shouted as he walked closer to
Pepper. "We came here looking for someone named Flonne to pass some important
information."
"Black code...black code..." Pepper chanted like it was a madness mantra.
"Just get this person over here, so we can leave to finish what we were doing
before we were forced into this job! You seem like a reasonable demon enough!"
"... 352,635 HL." She suddently said.
"Speak English woman!" Pepper shouted. "I don't speak numbers!"
"...Please say that again." Li said trying to get the red angel to shut up.
"352,635 HL." She repeated. "That's the money you own me for destroying the
Prinnies, the castle, and for that information you're asking."
"We don't use that currency~ We use hearts~"
Li just facepalmed. "Kaguju will probably be pissed at you guys, but that
bastard has so much money for his summon anyway..."
"Good." The demon's mood suddenly changed as she showed a cat-like grin. "Pay
then."
"Pepper, why don't you call Kaguju and-"
Pepper pouted. "He's already here."
Li paused for a moment before his jaw dropped. Despite all the hell that just
happened and despite her mood swings, Pepper was still able to pinpoint that
Kaguju was stalking them…and he didn't when he was the calmer of the two.
"Right there." Pepper said as she pointed to the ceiling where he was hanging
in the shadows.
"?" She looked up.
Kaguju waved at them. "Hello~ I was wondering when someone was going to
notice."
He flew them next to Pepper. He had a laptop in his arms that worked even in
the underworld.
"Himaruya has updated. You may now call Ifrit back."
"YESSSSSSSSSS!"
In a flash, Ifrit was dismissed as she snatched the laptop from Kaguju.
"I guess I'll be paying for her...you really shouldn't mess with a fangirl like
her. She'll fuck this whole place up just to get her yaoi..."
"The violent type, I see... not any different from what we see here."
"That's not the right word. Impetuous would be a better way to describe
Pepper."
Kaguju already had the money in a small bag that probably hid large amounts of
said currency. Li was surprised he already converted the hearts to the currency
of the Netherworld. "So tell us where Ms. Flonne is Ms. Etna and we'll be on
our merry way~"
"Oh, you already know my name." She said, snatching the money. "Well, if you're
that good about finding information, why won't you find out yourself?
"It wouldn't be fun if I said everything. Life would be dull and meaningless."
"Gee, I'm honored that I'm not as smart as you." Li muttered.
"Well, I can already tell you this... she's not here~."
"Isn't that what the guards said outside?" Kaguju mocked.
Li scowled at him as a result.
"Maybe passing the message to Laharl would be better than telling Ms. Flonne."
Mentioned the messenger.
"Oh... what business do you have with the Prince?"
"It's not my business. As the messenger of Angel Land, Lady Palutena sent these
two to deliver the message, but of course they wreak havoc."
"Hey!" Li shouted. "I did nothing!"
"Exactly, and that's the same thing as doing something~"
"!"
"... Angel Land? What's that?" Etna interrupted.
"Oh you know. Heaven. I'm surprised the demons here aren't aware of the pact
they made with Lady Palutena but that was so long ago. It needs to be renewed
for a greater cause."
"... Oh... yeah... the place who sent us Lady Medusa..."
"Yeah, she's gone for good this time...unless we don't revise the contract."
"That's so sad...she was actually doing a good job as an Overlord after King
Krichevskoy's death... But a bunch of Angels got her soon after. Looks like she
wasn't that powerful after all."
"Nah, our Captain kicked her ass." Kaguju said with a laugh. "Never seen a
spectacular battle as the one between those two."
"...Anyway, you wanted to see Flonne, right?"
"Yep because apparently, she's the only one here that would listen to these
kids."
"We're not kids!" Li pouted as he folded his arms in frustration.
"Have you thought about looking behind you?"
They turned around, and there was a blonde demon girl, dressed in white with a
red ribbon in her hair, looking like rabbit ears. Obliviously, she was trying
to figure out what happened.
"Oh! There she is!" Pepper shouted as she rushed toward her. "Hello! I'm Pepper
Pagoda! Eighth seat of the royal bodyguards! I was sent down here from the
Goddess Palutena to explain a crucial matter!"
"H-huh?" She replied, confused.
"Samael apparently broke free from his reigns and he's going to wreak havoc
everywhere!"
"... Who?"
"A demon that destroys everything through manipulation and trickery." Kaguju
mocked. "He's dangerous."
"Oh, really?" She asked, worried. "That's horrible! We must do something about
it!"
"We need to talk to your leader and have him sign a truce with Angel Land. We
have to work together to seal this guy once and for all!" Pepper declared.
"Oh! R-right away!"
She quickly ran off, deeper into the castle so she could prepare for the
guests.
Kaguju frowned when he turned toward Pepper who seemed to be in a trance. The
type of trance when you met someone new and think you'll get along with them
fine. "Pepper, you know I'm going to have to pay for the damage, right?"
"Your point?"
"With my money and you'll never pay me back."
"Of course not. I don't have any money!"
"...Because you spend it on yaoi..."
They quickly noticed that the other demon lady left. Right now, they should
follow the blonde one.
"We should follow them!" Pepper stated the oblivious.
"And destroy more shit? Not going to happen." Kaguju told her.
Regardless of what Kaguju said, Pepper followed them anyways. Kaguju just face
palmed. He may have been a magnificent bastard but the one person he couldn't
read or control was Pepper because she was so unpredictable despite being
predictable at the same time. Li gave up a long time ago and followed the fire
angel. Kaguju followed within the darkness.
===============================================================================
Since the angels were quick when it came to giving chase, they caught up to
them quickly.
"Laharl! Laharl, where are you?" Called the blonde one.
Kaguju used his magic to hide the magic flowing from Pepper. Li would be fine
since he had a devil aura and Kaguju literally had none.
"Calm down Flonne." said the other one. "He left earlier to collect taxes,
remember? He should be back soon."
"We got to wait again?" Pepper whispered.
"Pretty much...I'm used to it..." Li muttered with a sigh.
"Oh, would you like some tea meanwhile?" Asked Flonne.
"That will be good." Li muttered.
"Can I have some punch?" Pepper asked.
"Oh, sure! Fruit punch?"
"Yes~"
"Okay~ Please follow me." She chirped, heading to the kitchen.
Pepper followed after her while the guys stayed behind.
"... Guess you'll have to follow if you want some." The redhead stated with a
smirk.
"I think we shall." Kaguju said with a smirk.
"Better hurry up, Flonne runs pretty fast."
"No worries." Kaguju said as he walked slowly after them. Li just rolled his
eyes and gave chase. Thankfully, they didn't lost her. They catch up with her
and Pepper in the kitchen. The angel was obsessing over the punch.
"Oh, hi there." Flonne cheered at the two other angels.
"British herb tea please." Kaguju pretty much demanded.
"...Just water..." Li muttered.
"Alright!"
The blonde was quick with repairing the drinks for her guests. Li thought that
only Himeno was faster when it came to preparations.
"Oh... what are your names by the way?"
"I'm Pepper Pagoda! The eighth seat of the royal bodyguards!" Pepper introduced
again. It didn't seem to occur to the girls that she just repeated her
introduction.
"Lived Twilight." Li introduced. "People call me Li though. I'm the fifth
seat."
"Kaguju Martel~ twelfth seat."
"... Seat?" The blonde asked clearly puzzled by the term used.
"It's another term used instead of division." Kaguju explained. "It's just
easier to say seat."
"Oh... where are you from? Are you new in the Netherworld?"
"We're from Angel Land~" Pepper exclaimed. "Up above. We are the ultimate
Heaven~"
"... Angel Land?"
"Just a fancy name for Heaven." Kaguju told her. "I'm sure you've been there
before."
"Oh, of course yes! I was born there."
Li raised his eyebrow. "Oh, so you're a fallen angel."
"Yes! Are you one too?"
"Not really..." Li muttered. "I just use a lot of dark magic but..."
"Huh?...Oh! I know! You must have dyed your wings! I didn't know it's the new
fashion in Celestia!"
"Angel Land!" Pepper corrected.
"I didn't dye them...they're natural..."
Kaguju nodded his head. "Like mine. They're beautiful but I'm no demon."
"You have the personality of one."
Kaguju wasn't looking happy at that statement. For once, he glared at the
younger angel and that creeped him out.
"Wings are determined by element usually." Li added trying to avoid speaking to
Kaguju after that sort of comment.
"Wow, that's so cool! Everyone in Celestia have white wings."
"Angel..."
"Just stop it Pepper. She's not from the same section of Heaven as we are." Li
commented. "And it's only the majority that have white wings. Colored wings are
rare."
"Aww, poohey~ It must be really beautiful to see a rainbow of wings..."
Pepper just had an idea that made Li want to bang himself against the wall.
"Guys, when we get back, we're all going to stand in a circle and show off our
wings!"
"Really? Ohhh that would be amazing!" Clapped Flonne.
"No it wouldn't!" Li shouted as he drank his water. "Where is your leader? Why
isn't he back yet? This mission is important!"
Kaguju shook his head. "Li, that's not how you talk to a lady. Just ignore him
my sweet." He teased. "Tell me about yourself."
"Me? Oh, well my name is Flonne. I used to be a trainee angel from Celestia,
but then I was sent here to kill the Overlord. Since he was already dead I
decided to stay with my new friends and well, later on, I became a demon
myself."
"Sounds fun." Li said in a sarcastic tone. "The demon world must be more
entertaining than Heaven..."
"It sure is different." She confirmed oblivious to his sarcastic comment.
"That's for sure. The last time we were in hell, everything was trying to kill
us."
"Really? That's so sad..."
"You think?"
"Yes! Killing someone you don't know is bad!...But...killing someone you know
is not better... "
Li gave up talking to this fallen angel. He thought she would be bitter about
how Angel Land was, but she's as optimistic as they come...like Sun-Wong...
She served up their drink and kept talking (mostly the two girls and Kaguju)
and about fifteen minutes later, a Prinny came in and announced Laharl was
finally back.
"It's about time." Li and Pepper said at the same time. The red angel just
finished her fifth bowl of punch.
"Great! Let's go ask him then!" The fallen angel exclaimed. "... Hum... what
was your request again?"
"We request an alliance with your leader under Palutena's orders." Li
explained. "This is important to beat the shit out of Samael guy."
"Oh! R-right!"
"Get going!" Li was at the end of his patience.
"Y-yes! S-so sorry..."
She let them to the throne room, in which the demon girl from earlier was,
along with another one. A boy, actually pretty short, with blue hair and
wearing nothing else but a red scarf, shorts and shoes. He had pointy ear, like
any other demons, and his hair looked like he had two antennas coming from the
top of his head.
Was that the Overlord? No one in Angel Land told them they were actually
looking for a kid. All three of the angels had an opinion about the demon
prince. Only one of them stated their opinion out loud.
"He's too sexy for his shirt!"
Li facepalmed. That seemed to get the demon's attention though.
"Wh-what the...Angels?" he said. "Why in Hell is it so damn easy for angels to
sneak into my Castle?"
"You guards let them pass Prince, they didn't sneaked in." Corrected Etna.
"... Remember me to fire them..." He mumbled. "Who are you? What bussiness do
you have with me, Overlord Laharl, for sneaking into my Castle?"
"I'm Pepper Pagoda, eighth seat of the royal bodyguards! Lady Palutena needs us
to reform the pact that Heaven and Hell made~"
"... What pact are you talking about?"
"The previous ruler here made a pact with our Goddess." Li explained. "We're
here to renew it because a new evil is arising and threatens everyone if we
don't cooperate."
"... I don't recall such a pact with anyone...where did you say you were from
again?"
"Angel Land."
"... What kind of crappy name is that?"
"Angel Land isn't crappy!" Pepper spat already out of fangirl mode. "It isn't
as bad as Netherworlds! Why don't you just call it the Underworld or better yet
hell!"
"Clam yourself Pepper," Kaguju said in a mocking tone using the terminology
that Pepper herself use.
"I am clam...clam...clam..."
"Anygays..." Li continued. "Names aside, we did in fact have a pact with you
guys. You just need to sign this form here and we'll be on our merry way."
"... Why would I want to sign that?" The Prince asked.
"So we can get out of this place." Li said simply. "You know, Pepper did
destroy the place back there. It's bad enough that she's not paying with her
own money but if you say no, I don't think we'll be able to restrain her.
Believe me; what she did back there isn't her full strength at all...that's
when she's in Code Oblivion mode...I don't want to see her in Code Steve…"
To their surprise, Laharl's antenna raised up like a pissed off cat's fur.
"... YOU WHAT?" he shouted.
"Exactly." Li replied sarcastically. "I thought you went through that entrance
but..."
Pepper just smiled. "My specialty is destroying everything when things don't go
according to plan."
"YOU'RE GOING TO REPAY ME FOR THAT!"
"They already did, Prince~ " Etna smirked.
"THEY'RE GOING TO PAY AGAIN!"
"Good job Pepper, good job. You pissed him off." Li told her.
Pepper gave the best troll face she could muster. "U MAD?"
"And why would I want to sign this pact anyway?" The Prince continued, his
antenna taking their normal position. "That's your problem, deal with it!"
Kaguju groaned. "Look kid, it's not as easy as it would seem. If we could deal
with Samael ourselves, we would. Lady Palutena said it was impossible and wants
to forge the pact."
As he said that, he noticed that there was something in the room. He looked
around. Apparently no one else noticed this evil aura. Only he did and it
pissed him off.
"I said I didn't want to, and that's my decision." He concluded. "Now scram."
Pepper was about to curse at him but Kaguju realized that something bad was
going down.
"EVERYONE GET DOWN!"
"What? Oh!"
The angels ducked when a powerful blast of energy suddenly shot up behind them
deliberately aiming for the demon prince.
"!"
Laharl quickly reacted and put himself on guard. The blow didn't do him any
damages, but was strong enough to send him against the wall.
"Oh, he guarded. For shame."
Kaguju got out his whip as he heard the voice. "And Samael makes his appearance
here after all."
Li and Pepper didn't even notice that there was a shadow behind the three
angels. They jumped back and got out their weapons. The form of Samael at the
moment looked like a deformed dragon. He just snickered at them.
"Oh hello Kaguju, it's been far too long."
"You know him?" Li questioned.
"Sadly. That's what I get for being an old angel..."
"You still look the same back then except a few years older and you grew
wings."
Back there, the demon prince recovered from the hit, looking like he would kill
someone.
"Who... DARES to attack the Great Laharl?"
"Me demon brat." Came Samael's mocking as he shuffled backwards.
"Grr...you will regret the day you stepped in the castle, you piece of trash!"
Samael just laughed at Laharl's ignorance. "Oh, if this is the demon prince,
then taking over Hell won't be too long."
"Like I would let you do that. This world is mine, and I don't like to share."
"Oh boy. Mama probably didn't teach you how to share in the first place.
Tragic."
"Don't you talk about my mom!"
"Oh, I hit a sore spot. How could I be so stupid?" Samael asked himself in a
mocking tone before he laughed. "Didn't know the prince had mommy issues."
"That's mean, mister!" defended Flonne. "You shouldn't talk about the dead like
that, it's not respectful!"
"And fallen angels need to know there place especially when speaking to their
elders."
Li was getting sick of this guy already. He should have stayed calm but ended
up making the first attack. Reciting a spell in the Greek language, he
unleashed a powerful darkness attack. Samael seemed amused and easily absorbed
the attack like it was nothing.
"You're starting to piss me off." Li muttered. "With or without Palutena's
orders, you're going down."
"Clam down!" Pepper exclaimed as she held Li back. "We can't win at this
moment! You should know the final boss can't be beaten at this point of time."
"This black chick has a point." Samael mused with a laugh.
"Oh no..."
"What is it Flonne?" asked Etna.
"S-She's right; we can't fight the Final Boss before the end!"
"I don't care if he's a Final Boss or not!" said Laharl. "For me, this guy is
history!"
Samael just laughed as he spread his arms wide open. "Then come at me bro!
Nothing is stopping you."
"I wouldn't advise that..." Kaguju growled.
Laharl completely ignored Kaguju on that, and did the exact opposite, he
attacked Samael. The messenger cursed as he ended up using the whip to catch
Laharl before he made it to Samael. He then pulled him away just in time for a
powerful unseen attack that only cut Laharl's cheek.
"For a demon prince, I find it odd that you wouldn't see his attack." Kaguju
mocked. "Pepper, stay behind me. You too Li. You can tell what his power level
is."
"Y-You! L-Let me go!" Laharl fought back. "That's an order!"
"Did you not see his blade that would have killed you or do I have to show
you?" Kaguju asked already annoyed with him.
Samael just laughed as he unleashed a barrage of magic attacks that hit
everything in the vicinity. Pepper just hid behind Kaguju as he would always
protect her while Li twirled his double edged sword to block everything around
him. Kaguju just held Laharl in the whip in one hand and used his other hand to
grab the sword that was heading his way.
"This sword." Kaguju said as a matter of fact.
"! H-How...?"
"Oh Kaguju, you still got it in you."
"Barely..." Kaguju muttered darkly. "As long as I'm here, I don't think
assassination is going to happen. You should take that shape shifting ass and
go somewhere else!"
Samael continued to laugh as he pulled the sword away. Kaguju's hand was
bleeding when he pulled away. "Why of course. I just wanted to see what I'm up
against. The angels might be a challenge but the demons are a joke!"
"We'll take that as a compliment if you leave."
"Why of course!" Kaguju groaned when Samael switched his image to that of a
human with white hair, black wings and devil horns. He was mocking both races.
"Well, I should be off now that I know what I'm up against and the demon prince
and his followers are fleas as far as I'm concerned if they couldn't even see
that."
Both Laharl and Etna scoffed. "Hey!"
"Well I'll be seeing you guys in another world that is going to be conquered by
the time you find me~"
He disappeared into the shadows without another world. Kaguju still kept his
guard up in case he tried something funny, but the guy did in fact vanish.
A long silence came up after that, confirming that Samael was gone indeed.
"...Yeah...we should go tell Lady Palutena now..." Li muttered. "He has a
point. I don't think the demons are going to help us."
"Pact?" Kaguju asked Laharl. It wasn't asking. His voice was demanding like the
tone used for an angry father disappointed in his Prince remained quiet for a
moment... then...
"Where's your Goddess?" he exploded. "THAT BASTARD IS MINE!"
"Up above in Angel Land." Pepper said again. "She rarely leaves Angel Land. The
times she has, shit went down."
There was sarcasm in that tone. Li just held up the contract. "Sign?"
Laharl almost ripped it of Li's hand. He added up "Samael's death belongs to
Laharl", and then signed. Pepper and Li just hi fived each other.
"YAY BACK TO THE BLOODBATH!" Pepper shouted as she flew toward the ceiling. It
looked like she was going to hit her head but she was strong enough to break
it…either that or the ceiling in the castle wasn't that sturdy.
"Shit...more money I lose..." Kaguju cursed.
"I'm out of here Kaguju." Li said as he turned toward Flonne. "Thanks for the
beverages."
"Oh, you're welcome." She bowed. "Please come back anytime."
"Try to not destroy our place next time..." Added Etna.
Li rolled his eyes as he flew out. Kaguju would have to fly after the kids as
well at this rate.
"Yeah...make sure you visit Lady Palutena when you have the chance. She's very
understanding." The messenger said as he flashed his trademark cat smile at
them.
"Well then, expect us to see us soon~" The redhead warned him.
"Yep, I must go and gather more information. Please get stronger while you're
at it shrimp."
Kaguju said that so he could have a good laugh before he flew off after the
other two angels. Not fast enough. Laharl still got him with a rock. Pepper and
Li were going to laugh at that one seeing the magnificent bastard being hit by
something as small as a rock and actually getting a bump from it.
"Don't call me that!" The trio could hear Laharl shouting, his voice echoed
throughout the castle, if not all of the Netherworld.
Chapter End Notes
     Me: TBC with 6299 words. Notes!
     1. The inside joke came from the Hetalia Bloodbath of 2011. Anyone
     who participated in that event would know you only got 6 hours of
     sleep waiting for an update and went insane with everyone. We got 2
     Asians in dresses, 3 OTPS, 4 nations kidnapped (and more), 8 memes
     made every day (exaggerated but a lot) and so fourth. So yeah, I was
     hyper when that happened and its still a fond memory. If you type it
     into google, you can relive the insanity. My favorite joke was Hima-
     papa being on HST or Himaruya Standard Time (basically he updated
     whenever he wanted instead of being online and he did this on
     purpose). Another one is saying clam instead of calm due to bad
     spelling and then Code Black which is how late Hima-papa was with
     editing (we were a sinking ship). And then we stopped using colors
     and used Code Oblivion, Code Steve and then Code Island.
     2. If you guys didn't know, Laharl doesn't like how angels get into
     his castle so easily. Given how in Disgaea angels and demons don't
     get along and yet someone like Flonne managed to get in to try and
     kill his old man says something…
     3. Samael is a Shapeshifter if you didn't know. His dragon appearance
     would be something similar to Discord from My Little Pony Friendship
     is Magic. The next few chapters, you're going to see the similarities
     to the point that you might think that Samael is Discord but under a
     different name like Michiko is Master Hand. He has a sick sense of
     humor…
***** First Meeting *****
Chapter Summary
     Laharl and his vassals decide to visit Angel Land after the attack to
     meet with the Goddess of Light. Laharl ends up meeting the angel that
     would soon change his life forever.
The angels got back and Pepper instantly went back to her division to finish
the Bloodbath. Li wouldn't be able to use that incentive anymore since it was
apparently the last day. Kaguju growled as he looked at his arm.
"Back to the fourth division..." He muttered.
"Either that or you could see Tiki."
"...I guess I have no choice."
Barely two minutes after they arrived, the portal activated itself.
"The fuck?" Li cursed. "Is it malfunctioning?"
The portal flashed a few time before the light remained on. The young Overlord
and his two vassals came up right after this.
"Back already?" Asked the fifth captain.
"Well, you asked for me to come later, and it's later." Laharl answered like if
he was asked a stupid question.
Kaguju was already gone at this point to tend to his wounds. Li groaned. "I
don't think Palutena is..."
"LI-LI! YOU'RE BACK!"
Li wanted to run right there. He was tackled to the ground by the yellow angel.
The German angel (despite trying to speak French) showered him with unwanted
affection that it was humiliating. A loud noise was heard as both felldown,
leaving behind some golden and dark green feathers.
"Get off me dammit! I'm still mad at you!" Li shouted. He was blushing when he
pushed him off.
"But Li-Li!"
"Oh, am I interrupting something, Li-Li?" Laharl teased, rather amused by the
scene.
Li glared at him. "Oh, you shut up before I sick Pepper on you."
"Who is this Li-Li?" Isaak asked.
"Aww, is he your boyfriend?" asked Flonne.
"NO!" Li spat instantly. "No! No! And hell no! This idiot? No way!"
Isaak felt rejected again.
"H-huh? Y-You're rejecting his love?" Continued the blonde girl.
"It's nothing new..." Isaak said with a sigh, as he looked ready to walk away.
"Poor you~! " She whimpered as she hugged him.
Isaak felt loved for once. He may have been a ladies man in the past but he
thought he was ineffectual ever since he met the dark angel, but with this
fallen angel embracing him, his ego went way up. This scene one bit did not
impress Li and even though he just said he was not interested in the idiot
blonde, his heart was starting to pound.
"Oh, who are you my pretty fallen angel?"
"My name is Flonne, nice to meet you." She introduced with a smile on her face.
"Flonne, what a beautiful name. Reminds me of a gorgeous flower."
She blushed. "Y-you think so?"
"I would never lie to someone as marvelous as you."
Li jabbed him in the back with his elbow. "These three want to see Palutena.
Come on."
"? Oww!"
"Too bad." said Etna. "It was so cheesy. It was actually fun to watch..."
"I hope you demons enjoyed the show..." Li snarled as he dragged Isaak by his
wings.
"Owowow! Li-Li, why so cruel?"
"Kinda~" joked Etna as the three were following.
Palutena was expecting the demons now. The trio was lead through the palace
until they reached the throne room. There, they saw a pretty green haired
woman, wearing a white dress and covered with golden jewels. In front of her
was an angel wearing a tunic of the same color, a golden laurel crown on his
brunette spiky hair. Pit just finished finding books about Samael and still
questioned him. He saw Li drag Isaak, the demons following, and frowned.
"You could have warned me ahead of time Li."
"Well sorry Captain! This idiot here was making a fool of himself!"
"Not true!"
Pit rolled his eyes before lowering them on the demon prince. He took a look
behind him, then at Laharl again. "... What is that?" He ended up asking. "I
though we were excepting the Overlord, not his kid."
"A-A kid? I'm the Great Overlord Laharl, you idiot!" The demon prince
corrected.
"What? But I though he was almost 10 000 years old!"
"Well he just died and I got his throne, got a problem with that? Just who are
you to insult me like that?"
"I'm Pit, Captain of the Royal Bodyguards and Palutena's Army."
"You, a Captain? You look awfully short for a Captain."
"Like you're the one to talk...whatever, what brings you here?" Pit asked, not
wanting to bother with useless details. He didn't have time for this.
"What do you mean, stupid? You're the one who wanted me here!"
"Correction, I don't give a damn. It's Lady Palutena. Grace her appearance at
the very least." Pit said. He wanted to excuse himself. Palutena wouldn't let
him.
"Pit..." She was using that motherly tone again. "Please respect the guests."
"...Why are you here?" He repeated still not a lot of success.
"Like I said, you're the ones who wanted us here." The young Overlord answered.
"Because of that peace treaty."
"Oh yeah. You actually said yes."
"It's right here." Li said as he shoved it in Pit's face.
"Oh...about taking down Samael...hmm...must have been a dick to say yes
easily."
"He dared to insult me! In my own castle!"
"It's a death sentence in the Netherworld." Added Etna.
"Well, I read that he's an asshole so that's normal."
"You bet he is!"
"So what do we do now Palutena?" Li asked annoyed. "He attacked."
"...He's already out...not good..." The Goddess of Light said while shaking her
head.
"You said you were reading info on him right?" Asked Etna. "Care to share them
with us?"
"Well, he is an unpleasant being." Palutena resumed. "He uses illusions and
manipulation to get what he wants. He can shape shift and blah blah
blah...Still looking for other information but at this rate..."
"He's going to attack again before you know more, huh?" The redhead asked.
"Yeah...and he might have already conquered a world..."
"Already? Since how long was he freed?"
"We don't know that yet..." Pit said with a sigh.
Etna did all the talking while Laharl was oddly quiet despite his thunderous
introduction.
"Which is why we needed the pact. The more the merrier especially if this guy
is said to be extremely powerful...more than Medusa."
"Medusa was nothing Pit." Isaak said. "You took her out easily."
"After going through hell."
"Ohhh, so you're the one who killed her." said Etna. "...I knew I already saw
your face somewhere." she then added with a smirk. "You're that little hopeless
kid angel she asked me to keep prisoner."
Pit thought for a moment. "...Yeah...I do have vague memories about you now...
too bad you let your guard down too easily."
"For your information, I had to go pee and asked Lady Medusa's precious doggy
to take care of anyone who escaped from prison." She retorted. "And
obliviously, he didn't do a good job. You probably wouldn't be standing here if
you'd met me back then."
"Excuses, excuses." Pit waved her off as he still had the book in her hand. "If
that's it then..." He paused as if he remembered something in the book and kept
searching through it.
"What is it Captain?" Isaak asked.
"I think I have an idea where he might be..."
"Oh, and where would that be?"
Pit found it in the book and opened it with his magic. A huge hologram appeared
in front of everyone. "It's Mobius!"
"... Mowhat?" The demon trio questioned.
"Mobius...my friend Sonic lives here..."
Everyone noticed that Pit was paler than usual when he said that.
"He should be able to hold them off..."
"Should?" added Isaak.
"Pit, this is Samael we're talking about." Li told him rather darkly. "This guy
is someone not to underestimate. Sonic may be one of the stronger competitors
in Smash but I don't think his world stands a chance against him given his
powers."
"..." The white angel turned to Palutena. "Lady Palutena please, send me with
Mcenche and Saber to go to Mobius."
Palutena frowned. "Are you certain? The world might not be the one you know
when you arrive."
"...I know that...but..."
"Oh! Can I go too?" asked Flonne. "It sounds like a fun place to go!"
Pit groaned. "It may not be when we get there..."
"Pleaaaaaase, pretty please~~?"
"You might as well say yes..." said Laharl.
"I wasn't going to say no. I just told her not to be optimistic." Pit sighed.
"This group is going to be huge..."
"Pit...I hope you know what you're doing." Palutena said calmly. "Whatever you
do, don't let Samael distract you from your goals. If he's not there, check to
see if the world is safe enough to where he can't invade. If the world is
ruined by his powers, then do whatever it takes to liberate it."
"...Even if it takes years..."
"With every world liberated, his powers grow weaker, and he will no longer be
able to hold onto the same world twice."
"Sounds easy..."
Pit knew it wasn't going to be easy. He dismissed himself from the throne room.
Li and Isaak looked at each other in worry noticing that something was bugging
Pit.
"He looks very worried for his friend." said Flonne. "I hope he's okay..."
There was only one way to find out, after all. Before leaving, the Goddess of
Light approached them.
"I'm sorry for asking your help at the last moment like this, and also for not
introducing myself properly." She apologized. "My name is Palutena. Sir
Lamington said you would be the best help we could have right now."
"Oh! You know Sir Lamington?" Asked the Fallen Angel.
"He's a good friend of mine since a while." The Goddess of Light giggled. "I
assume you must be Flonne then?"
"Y-yes Lady Palutena." She bowed. "Pleased to meet you."
"And you must be Etna?" She asked the redhead.
"That's right! Glad to know I'm known even here." The demon vassal said with a
sheepish grin.
The Goddess then turned to the Overlord, giving him a sweet smile. "Overlord
Laharl? I am pleased to meet you."
However, Laharl kept avoiding looking at her. Wondering if something was wrong,
she stepped closer, only to make the prince freak out.
"Ah-ahhh! D-Son't come any closer!" he shouted, catching the Goddess of guard.
An awkward silence followed as Palutena wondered what just happened.
"... Please excuse the prince. You see he... has a fear of sexy women."
"E-Etna! Don't give away my weaknesses so easily!"
"Oh, I see now..." Palutena giggled. "I will take that as a compliment from
you. Just warn me if I'm too close and make you feel uncomfortable."
"Y-yeah... thanks I suppose..."
===============================================================================
Pit rounded up Mcenche and Saber while the introductions were happening. The
former wasn't doing anything interesting and the latter just finished doing her
nails. The demon trio soon joined them as well and the group would head to the
portal, taking the six of them to Mobius. Since Pit had been there multiple
times to visit Sonic, it wouldn't take long at all. He would just have five
people tagging along...and Kaguju might end up following them. There was one
problem though...
"Please let me go Captain! Let me kick ass!" The self-proclaimed hero begged.
He was already wearing his red bandana, covering his face and holding up some
of his platinum hair.
"For the last time Ginger, you cannot go! You are not old enough to go on this
mission!" Warned his Captain.
"But I'm a royal bodyguard! What do you expect me to do while all the adults
are researching?"
"You could help Rita clean." Saber said in a monotone voice annoyed with the
kid already. "You don't want that kid doing everything himself."
"But...but..."
"Case closed. Is everyone ready?"
"Yes Captain~" Cheered Flonne. She was already too familiar with the angels
despite being a fallen angel.
"Everyone else?"
Mcenche just hand waved him as Saber nodded her head slowly. Pit only chose
these two since they wouldn't get their lazy asses up. Plus, if it's
manipulation, it won't work on these two.
"We can go." Added Etna.
"Alright." Pit turned to Ginger. "Please listen to me for once and stay here."
"..." Ginger looked away annoyed. "Fine..."
"Are you done parenting now or will I have time to take a snack before
leaving?" asked the Overlord. Five minutes... barely five minutes since they
met and that kid was already getting on the Captain's nerves.
"If that's it, then let's go." Pit ended up saying.
"Bye Mister Ginger, be a nice boy." waved the blonde girl.
"I will..." The platinum one grumbled as a response.
And with that, they were off. Ginger just looked at the teleporter, his smiling
disappearing from his face. He clenched his fist as made a declaration when he
was certain no one was in the room.
"Just you wait Pit! I'll save Mobius without you! I'm a hero after all!"
***** Mobius Arc I *****
Chapter Summary
     The royal bodyguards and the demons are sent to Mobius hoping to warn
     Sonic about Samael, but they're too late as the world is in ruin. As
     Pit learns what occurred on the planet, the angel gets determined to
     find Sonic's friends and Chaos Emeralds to bring Samael down.
     Hopefully things will go smooth, but when the Overlord and his
     vassals are just there for the spoils, it won't be easy.
Chapter Notes
     A heads up that when I say that Super Sonic sealed Samael, I'm
     implying that Sonic sealed a portion of Samael that escaped. As we
     know, Samael is the Great Evil therefore he has many portions.
     Sonic's portion was incredibly small and once the real one escaped,
     this small one would escape too because we have to remember Palutena
     in the Kid Icarus/Disgaea headcanon universe its Palutena who
     ultimately seals Samael 2000 years ago.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Pit was expecting clear skies, a clean atmosphere and friendly people when they
arrived in Mobius. Boy was he wrong.
The teleporter brought them to a city outside of Central Square. The sky was a
dark red like it was raining blood for one thing while the other thing was
looking at the buildings many of them were crumbled. The grass around them was
dried out and the entire planet seemed dead.
"This is not good..." Mcenche stated the obvious. "Samuel already conquered
this place."
"Charming..." Commented the Overlord.
Pit looked around hoping this wasn't true. Luckily for him, he could feel one
of the hedgehog's nearby. Nearby being in the city but near the outskirts. He
pinpointed where the positive Chaos energy was coming in the area. "This way."
The white angel was the only one that ran in that direction. The other two
angels just spread their wings and pursued him. As for the demons...they just
walked.
They got to see what was going on around them the closer they got to the city.
Pit said it was Mobius. There were humans here however. Humans rioting and
fighting with each other. It was total chaos in the city.
Pit didn't care though. He found an abandoned shack. Taking his bow and arrow,
he shot through the door because he felt a demon was inside.
Sure enough he found a spider demon was hiding there. Pit could tell there were
two hedgehogs in. One was a silver hedgehog and the other was black. No blue
hedgehog though.
"Dammit!" Pit ended up cursing.
"Hmm... too lazy to open the door?" Commented Etna.
"And get hit by a web? Pass!" Mcenche shouted as he yawned.
They let Pit single handedly take out the huge spider in the room. The other
two hedgehogs were caught in the web and couldn't get out no matter what they
did. Pit easily shot down the web and pierced the spider demon's head killing
it instantly.
"Sweet Palutena...these things..." Pit muttered as he went over to the two
hedgehogs. The black hedgehog was unconscious but the other one was still
kicking. "You alright Silver?"
"Just in time...I thought we going to be eaten..." The silver animal said,
which surprised the trio of demons.
"... What are those things..."
"They're so cute!" The fallen angel suddenly squealed. Silver tried to use his
psychic powers, but was exhausted. Pit noticed this and patted him on the
shoulder.
"Don't worry, they're our allies."
"...We can't stay here..." Silver continued. "This place...there's too much
darkness..."
"That place is actually nice." The Prince said as he shrugged.
"I agree." Saber responded. "I feel right back at home here."
Pit ignored them as he ended up being the one to carry the black hedgehog.
"Have a good place to retreat to?"
"Dr. Eggman..."
"Really? Of all the people to..."
"There's no time!"
Behind him, Pit could here two of the three demons trying to not laugh.
"Pfffff...Eggman... crappy name..."
"Is this the time for these types of jokes?" Pit asked annoyed that the demons
just stand around and do nothing. "Where is the doctor?"
"He made another Egg Fleet out of space. I can Chaos Control...but..."
Pit noticed the Chaos Emerald in his hand. It was running out of energy from
all this negative energy.
"I'll give you some of my power. Just get us there."
"I'll try."
"Wait a sec!" Laharl interrupted. "... He went... in space?"
"Wow~! That's so cool! I bet that Doctor Eggman is a brilliant scientist and
help poor creatures with his researches!" Said the blonde one.
"You wish." The two other angels said.
Pit transferred some light magic into the Chaos Emerald causing it to glow.
Silver counted himself lucky as he closed his eyes. "CHAOS CONTROL!"
A blinding light overtook the group as they all disappeared from the shack just
in time before the rioters came in and continued to trash the place and
everything in it.
===============================================================================
The group was transferred on the Egg Fleet. Dr. Ivo Robotnik was working on a
project that seemed to be loosely connected to Samael. When he felt the Chaos
Control, he was relieved that someone made it out of the chaos but instantly
frowned when he saw the white angel with the silver hedgehog.
"Ah, you're back Captain Pit?" He asked in a mixed mockery but polite tone.
"What judgment will you rain on me now? I must say I'm busy trying to figure
out where all the other Chaos Emeralds are."
"Doctor, I think you need to tell me...tell us what the hell happened here."
"It's like you see. That demon Samael ruined this planet for me to conquer."
Eggman complained. "There is nothing I can do but stay out here and watch from
afar."
"Where is Sonic?!" Pit raised his voice. "I could only sense Shadow and Silver,
and Shadow looks beaten up."
"Well...that's my fault." Silver admitted. "It's a long story."
"Sonic and his friends are already corrupted if that's what you're asking
Captain." Eggman replied in a serious tone. "I should have known Samael would
pull something like this."
"...Sonic is..."
"Can't find him anywhere now." Silver said as he walked behind Eggman. "After
what happened..."
Flonne was a bit disappointed by Eggman. "He looks like a bad guy..."
"Will you stop wasting our time and actually tell us what happened?" asked
Laharl, annoyed.
"I am a bad guy for your information little miss." Eggman said. He didn't know
her name or any of the demons that Pit brought along. "Anyway, I need to know
who you three are before I tell you anything."
Silver nodded his head. "I don't trust demons."
Saber glared at him as a result.
"I'm the Overlord of the Netherworld, the Great Laharl."
"Beauty Queen Etna."
"I'm Flonne…erm…I used to be an angel."
Eggman examined them all carefully as if making a note for more possibly
threatening adversaries in the future. "Silver, how is Shadow?"
"I barely snapped him out of it." Silver said. "Samael is very powerful...but
someone...I got through to him."
"What happened."
"Well, truth be told, Sonic didn't tell you that Samael was released a couple
of months ago."
"!"
"And we beat him easily...or rather...Sonic sealed him back into that Pandora
like box."
"Sonic sealed him up the wrong way." Eggman cut in. "I checked a few days after
he was sealed and found out that there is only one correct way to seal him and
any other way, he'll come out more powerful than ever. Since he came out of the
box trying to grant my wish, he had none of these threatening powers that he
had now. Now that he's out, he ruined the planet."
"What about Sonic?" asked Pit in a worried tone.
"Captain, you should know about some of his powers."
"Manipulation, seduction, shape-shifting, illusions and brainwashing amongst
other things."
"...Then you should know what he did to Sonic and his friends."
"Shadow was also another one of his victims." Silver admitted. "Fortunately,
the grip around him wasn't as strong as everyone else..."
"... In other words, they all got screwed?" asked the red haired one.
Eggman and Silver nodded their heads.
"And because the world is filled with negative energy, the Chaos Emeralds are
barely working."
"I heard that the Chaos Emeralds are powered up by pure energy. Sonic is always
the one using it..." Added the doctor.
"Samael is a monster." Silver growled in a dark tone. "He wasn't threatening
when Sonic first defeated him, but it's like he took a 180...poor Sonic..."
"Where is Sonic now?"
Eggman shrugged his shoulders. "He ran off when this whole thing started.
Probably ashamed of letting it all happened."
"Maybe you should follow his example, Prince."
"Shut up Etna!"
"We got to find mister Sonic!" said Flonne, fire in her eyes. "That's exactly
like in movies! His archenemy defeats the hero, and leave because of he is
ashamed. But in the end his friends cheer up on him and the villain is defeated
by the power of love and friendship!"
"... Flonne, you should give up the internet sometimes..."
Silver's overall expression fell. "That's why this planet is in this situation
to begin with. He attacked Sonic and his friends where it hurts."
"How?" Mcenche asked.
"Manipulation and illusions..." Pit ended up blurting out.
"Correct. I may have been fighting Sonic for years but there is one thing that
I would never do. I would never turn his friends against one another unless
they were extremely gullible. Samael...did just that..."
Silver looked back at the Chaos Emerald. "The opposite of friendship is
friendless. The opposite of love is hate. The opposite of trust is
distrust...all of that combined...destroyed him...and there was nothing I could
do for Sonic...as I was the only one that Samael decided not to brainwash..."
"Why?"
"...To be the only one to witness Sonic's breakdown..."
"Silver...from the beginning, can you tell us what happened?"
"..."
"... I'll get some popcorn." The redhead stated.
"Not needed." Silver said darkly. "This will take a while, but it's not
anything you should eating popcorn too...unless you're a demon then it makes
sense."
"What do you think I am, smart one...?" she replied.
Silver rolled his eyes as he started.
===============================================================================
It was shortly after Super Sonic sealed Samael back into the Pandora Box.
Everything went back to normal for two months before Samael escaped his prison.
The minute he did, he snagged all the Chaos Emeralds before appealing to Sonic
and his friends. He was ready this time. He wanted to challenge Sonic, Tails,
Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Rouge, Blaze, Shadow and me to a game in his fantasy
world and if we made it through, he would give a hint where he gave the Chaos
Emeralds so the group could seal him again without him fighting back.
We should have known it was a trap. He was crazy prepared for this situation.
We were all going to complete the labyrinth together but we all got separated
and thrown in different dimensions in his world. Sonic and I came out fine, but
everyone else was different. They became cold and bitter...the opposite of what
they were. All their hate, rage and sadness were directed toward Sonic, the
friend that gave them a reason to live. Sonic was surprised at their change in
personality. I personally don't know what happened but it was part of Samael's
plan.
When we had all the seven Chaos Emeralds...hell happened...
"Cream, give it back!" Sonic shouted as he tried to get the Emeralds from Cream
who was a bratty mean rabbit at this point.
"Hey everyone! Let's play keep away from Mr. Sonic!" She declared as she threw
the Chaos Emeralds at Amy who just glared at Sonic and passed it back.
Sonic was the fastest thing alive. However, we were in a room, were his speed
and my psychic powers weren't working. When he tried to get it back, the girls
kept passing it to each other.
"I hate you Sonic!" Amy yelled. "The Emeralds deserve better!"
She passed it to Rogue.
"These gems are mine. Your name isn't written on it."
"Come on Rogue! This is important!"
She threw them to Blaze.
"Enough of this childish game." Blaze responded harshly.
Sonic thought she was going to give him the time of day...but then she gave
them to Knuckles.
"BLAZE!"
"You're not my friend." She said darkly.
"Knuckles, hand it over!"
Knuckles threw them to Tails. "Don't have them!"
"Bastard!"
At this point, Sonic was at his breaking point with his friends treated him
like crap. Tails just stuck his tongue out as he handed them to Shadow.
"The humans don't need to be saved. They are doomed." Shadow said darkly as he
handed it back to Cream who just kept dancing with them.
"Guys, what the hell happened to you?!"
The game would have continued but I attacked Tails when he got the Chaos
Emeralds again and handed them to Sonic. The group of friends was now glaring
daggers at him as he kept the Chaos Emeralds in his grasp.
"T-They're mine guys! I don't know what's come over you, but until Samael is
gone, I'm not handing them over!"
"Sonic...I think they might..."
I noticed the Chaos Emeralds were losing their energy when Sonic cowered away
from his friends. He didn't recognize them anymore.
===============================================================================
"What a jerk." Interrupted Laharl. "Couldn't he see it was a trick from the
first place?"
Silver glared at the demon. "I see you don't value your friends so highly that
when they suddenly turn on you, you probably wouldn't be that shocked."
"I'm surrounded by demons; it's our nature to do things like that."
"Typical demons..." Pit muttered darkly. That was very un-angel like of him as
the trio noted.
"Well deal with it. I'm not going to change for your pretty eyes," commented
the Prince.
"My eyes aren't pretty." Pit said simply. "Anyway, Silver continue."
===============================================================================
"Sonic, all you have to do is put the Chaos Emeralds in front of the Pandora
Box and then insert the key." I told him as I handed him a key. I didn't notice
then that the key was black instead of gold when it was first used mainly
because it was at the moment it changed when I gave it to Sonic.
He was frowning the entire time. I noticed that his spikes were turning a
darker shade when he inserted the Chaos Emeralds into the box. His friends were
all mocking him and saying cruel things about him while he was doing it. I
tried to get them to stop but it was no prevail.
"Y-You got to stop, Hoot!"
From the building game an owl we know as Olivia. She was the guardian of the
Pandora Box as far as we were concerned. She disappeared shortly after sealing
him once but now that Samael was out, she came back now.
"That key will-"
It was too late. Sonic twisted the key into the box. Instead of sealing Samael
like it should have, it unleashed unimaginable darkness from it causing the two
hedgehogs to be pushed back.
"Look what you done, hoot!" Olivia screamed.
We could only turn toward Samael as he laughed evilly. His entire figure was
being surrounded by darkness as he absorbed the powers from the Chaos Emeralds.
"YES! I'm back!" He declared.
"Why are you...how..."
"Oh Sonic, you're the best friend I could ever hope for. Thanks to you, I can
now rule this planet and possibly the galaxy if I wanted to. You should have
done your research."
"!"
"See guys," Samael said turning to Sonic's friends who were glaring at Sonic.
"Because of him, the world is finished."
"...Go figure..." Shadow said as he zoomed off to who knows where.
"As long as I get some gems, I don't really care." Rouge announced as she flew
off when the darkness was covering up the entire area.
"I hate you Sonic even more!" Amy shouted following after Rouge.
"This is why I work alone." Blaze said disappointed as she disappeared.
"Mr. Sonic is a terrible person!" Cream said simply.
"Of course he is." Tails added. "He brought this upon himself. Let's go."
Tails and Cream flew off together leaving Knuckles. Sonic couldn't believe his
friends walked out on him now.
"K-Knuckles...please..."
"Sonic, thank you so much for doing this." It was an obvious lie. "Now I can go
back to protecting the Master Emerald."
And then he left leaving Sonic alone with Olivia and me.
"Sonic, I'm still here." I tried to comfort him. "You can't let Samael-"
I was cut off as Samael used his magic to send us flying toward a wall. I
couldn't counter back because he was too powerful at this point. I could only
watch in horror as Samael told Sonic something that I could barely make out.
"You're worthless." He told him. "You fail as a hero and fail as a friend. You
caused all of this Sonic, and there is nothing you can do. No...the only thing
you can do is run away and never show your face here again..."
He forced Sonic to look toward the window. It was then did I hear the voices of
humanity become evil as they all cursed Sonic for leading to their downfall.
"No...I didn't want this...I wanted to..."
"It's okay Sonic. People will love you if you disappear." He smirked. "Either
that or you can be with me forever."
Sonic took the first option as he backed away scared of what just happened. I
noticed that Sonic's fur changed from blue to dark blue representing the guilt
in his heart.
"N...No...No...I won't go with you. I'll never go with you...even if everyone
hates me...I will never go with you. Ever!"
And Sonic ran off. It was the last time I saw him. I tried to call out to him
but it was no prevail. Samael just laughed as he turns toward me and told me
that I was the only one that could stop him, but with my inexperience, it
wasn't going to happen.
"Just watch the world fall and go back to the future. I'll see you there~"
And then he disappeared into the darkness leaving Olivia and me to see the
damage he had caused...
===============================================================================
Flonne was sharing tears of sadness, Laharl had an "Oh really" look on his face
and Etna completely lost interest in the story and watched over Eggman's
inventions instead. Mcenche and Saber was rather stoic from the story. Pit's
expression was unreadable but anyone could tell he was seething with anger.
"I tried to be the hero." Silver admitted. "So I managed to snap Shadow out of
his trance. When he wakes up, he'll tell us what Samael did to him to make him
turn on Sonic so easily...but...I really not strong enough to even fight these
monsters or demons or whatever came out of the box..."
"...And you have no idea where Sonic is?" Asked the white angel.
"No...he could be captured by Samael for all we know..."
"And this Olivia person?"
"She's looking for the Chaotix." Silver exclaimed. "Trying to make sure they're
not in the same situation as the rest of Sonic's friends."
Pit turned to Eggman. "Doctor, do you have a correct way of getting rid of
Samael?"
"I'm still looking into it." He admitted. "After Sonic failed to seal him the
correct way, we're trying to find another way that doesn't involve the Chaos
Emeralds or keys. The Chaos Emeralds are useless if they're not empowered by
love and friendship...and since Sonic was the main user..."
"He lost all hope in everything..." Pit muttered darkly. "And I wasn't there to
tell him otherwise..."
"Captain, you might have to go to other worlds and find items that can easily
defeat Samael."
"And what could be those things?" asked the Prince.
"The Guardians."
There was a pause there. "The Guardians?"
"Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Water, Darkness, Light, Death, Life,
Dreams, Intelligence, Nature, Sun, Moon, Music, Destruction and Love."
"... Sounds like there are a lot of them..." Commented Etna.
"It does, doesn't it?" Eggman asked as he laughed to himself. "Fortunately,
they respond to powerful elements that suit them. And how many members are in
that army?"
"Twelve." Answered the Captain.
"Then that's more than half of them right there. You guys will find them very
quickly."
Pit was still annoyed by something. "Doctor, about Samael being released the
first time?"
"...Bad information. Samael said he granted wishes...and he almost did the
first time. Now the bets are off but he told he would spare me since that was
part of the deal when I first made the wish."
"... Shall we go find that Sonic guy or you want to stay here and drank some
tea?" Sighed the Overlord, sounding bored.
"I think we should find his friends first." Pit said. "Silver, that Chaos
Emerald is from Shadow, right?"
"Yeah."
"Then his other friends must have the other Emeralds."
"...Yeah...they did jack them the minute everything failed..."
"Then where are they?"
A long pause brought itself up into the conversation.
"... I don't like that silence at all..." Pit added.
"...Samuel put them all in their own world they manifested from all the
negative energy." Silver explained. "It took the life out of me just to get
Shadow out of it..."
"By Palutena's love…so we have to go through all of that and then look for
these Guardians in other worlds...I hate my job..." Pit muttered.
"You could always give it to me." Mcenche replied rather seriously.
"So you can mess everything up? No thanks!"
"... So... how do you go in the other worlds?" Asked the red haired demon.
"We got teleporters." Pit explained. "It's not hard..."
"Let's hurry up then," added the Overlord.
For a third time, silence came again. Laharl was starting to get irritated by
the quietness. "What are you waiting for? Santa Claus?"
"The Doctor hasn't pinpointed the location of any of Sonic's friends yet..."
"Hurry up then, old man!"
"Laharl! Don't be mean with the Doctor." Defended Flonne. "It's not his fault
if he's old and slow..."
"At least someone around here knows how I work." Eggman said. "It's best if you
go search the city and see the damage done before anything else."
"I was going to do that anyway Doctor." Pit said. "I want to see how bad the
influence is here..."
"Probably a good one." Laharl commented. "... Well, on a demon's POV at
least..."
Pit was still irritated with the demons as he turned to Mcenche and Saber.
"Prepare yourselves. We don't know what Samael will do when we get down there."
"Watch him stone us." Mcenche joked.
"Or burn us at the stake."
"Hey, you two don't need to be so negative..."
"Ohhh, I hope he'll be more creative than that." Saber said with a smirk.
Pit muttered something dark as he asked Eggman for the transporter to Station
Square.
"It's over there in the corner. Be careful, he is not to be underestimated."
"We already know that." Pit said referring to the angels.
"We won't get tricked twice."
Eggman just turned his chair toward the planet and sighed. "Well, you better be
on your merry way."
The angels wasted no time to go into the teleporter. Silver stopped them
though.
"If you see Olivia or the Chaotix, make sure they come back here pronto if
they're not affected..."
"I doubt it." Pit said simply. "They're the Chaotix. What would they need to
doubt?"
"... Just go will ya!" Laharl said, shoving Pit into the portal.
Pit was going to remember that later. The group teleported away. Silver looked
at the portal and sighed.
"Silver, you need to stay put. Samael won't attack me. He gave his world."
"He lies though."
"...Depending on your interpretation on lies."
===============================================================================
They were transported in a building that was the center of Central Square. Pit
didn't like the idea of having to fly when these humans could shoot him out of
the sky. He groaned as he searched for any positive energy. It was far away but
it was better to have a lead better than nothing.
"So much negative energy...I like it~" Saber squealed.
"No one asked you Saber. You and Mcenche coming or not?"
"Yeah..."
"I agree with the lady with pink hair. I like it here too." added Etna.
"She has a lot of similarities to you guys so it's only natural." The white
angel snarked as he looked below. Sure enough there were people rioting.
"Mcenche, any ideas?"
"Besides making an ice ramp to skate on?"
"...Uh..."
"Got wings? Use them." said the Prince.
"I would, but I don't think it would be a good time given these humans." Pit
mocked.
"Making obstacle course..." Mcenche muttered as he closed his eyes and imagined
it. With his powerful ice magic, the window started with a path that branched
outside and was making a path of its own.
"Great, as long as they don't throw torches at us, we'll be fine." Saber
replied sarcastically.
"... Keep your silly walk for yourself, I'm jumping."
Pit just rolled his eyes as the angels jumped on the ice and walked on it. You
would think the angels would slip but Mcenche didn't need to worry. He just
skated on the magic bridge he made. Saber was deliberately cracking the ice
hence why she didn't have cold feet, and Pit was used to walking in the cold
area thanks to Smash Brother stages with lots of ice. The trio of demon decided
to take another path and jumped instead. The humans...were really not
welcoming.
They were very selective. Instead of seeing chaos above them in the form of
ice, they saw the demons and did what a normal person would do.
"ATTACK!" One of them suddenly ordered.
Laharl and his vassals were caught off guard. "H-huh?"
These humans had guns. GUNS! Then again, Pit forgot to warn them that many of
these humans carry guns because they were part of G.U.N.
"They'll be fine. Keep moving Mcenche." Pit said as Mcenche kept skating and
creating the path like Iceman.
"I don't think they want us here Prince." Etna stated the oblivious.
"Ah, s-stop!" Flonne shouted. "We're not enemies, we're here to help!"
It didn't matter. These people opened fire.
"YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO KILL THE HUMANS!" Pit shouted as the three angels left
the demons to fend for themselves.
The next thing they knew, Laharl got a headshot.
"Oh no! Laharl!"
Pit looked back rather worried. Demons should be fine since Saber had been shot
multiple times and she didn't threat about it.
"..."
"Knocked out with only a bullet... " Etna grumbled with a sigh. "Prince, you
really need more training."
Those humans kept firing at them. They had no choices but counter attack...
though Etna was going on a rampage on them. Saber stopped to watch the
bloodbath, and she enjoyed it a little too much.
"Hey, don't orgasm here!" Pit whined as he saw where this was going. "Mcenche,
hurry up and complete it!"
He was way ahead of them and almost finished making a path to wear the Chaotix
might be."
"...Done."
"Mcenche, if you're done, then get Saber to move her ass! And you demons need
to hurry up! Drag his head if you have to!"
"Party pooper..." Etna replied, dissapointed that the fight was already over,
dragging Laharl along as well.
The group hurried up. The ice road lead inside a building similar to the one
they started in only a closer inspection you could see it was completely
different in the interior layout especially the technology.
"I feel positive energy and negative ones here." Pit warned Mcenche and Saber.
"Be careful."
By the time they got here, Laharl was already coming back to his senses.
"...Wh-where are we?" He asked, confused.
"A lab apparently." Mcenche stated. "Look at these computers. My life starts
right here!"
"...Should have brought Sun-Wong or Pepper..." Pit muttered to himself.
"Wow, it looks like a super villain's hideout!" said the blonde demon.
"Yeah whatever." Pit dismissed her. Where are the Chaotix?
When he thought about the detective group, everyone could hear gunfire coming
from below.
"Found them." The trio said at the same time.
"Cool! Let's go!"
===============================================================================
This was not Espio's day. If Vector didn't take Vanilla's request, they
wouldn't be at gunpoint by these insane humans and demons behind them. To make
things worse, the mission was to get Cream and Cheese out of Station Square
before this disaster happened. Not only was she brainwashed by Samael, but she
also was the one leading them and ordering them to kill. He officially hated
the idea of babysitting.
"Kill them all if you please~" Dark Cream giggled as the guns were fired again.
The Chaotix went back to dodging bullets but getting hit by punches thrown at
the demons. They couldn't hurt the humans or Cream for that matter but the
demons...
"Hey Vector!" Pit shouted as he took out his bow and arrow and shot it at the
demons. Mcenche used his ice magic to create a barrier of ice to keep the
villains on one side of the room leaving the Chaotix, angels and demons on
another. "We arrived."
"You took your sweet time, didn't you? I bet you went to the computer room
first!" Vector shouted before he sighed. "What happened to Cream? She was such
a cute little thing!"
"Brainwashing. Does she have a Chaos Emerald?"
"Actually..."
"...Fuck..." Pit cursed.
"Does that means she has it?" asked Etna.
"Well all we have to do it take it back." Laharl declared with a grin. 
"Don't kill her! Our mission is to bring her back to her mom!" Vector shouted.
"And score points with said mother." Pit added as he got his bow out to fire
through the ice. "I get it."
"So which one is that Cream?" asked Laharl.
"The rabbit." Charmy declared.
"Oh... yeah... more animals..."
"Can we kill the humans?" Saber asked.
"Please don't." Espio said sharply. "They are all brainwashed and don't know
what they're doing."
"Could have told us sooner." Pit rolled his eyes.
Mcenche glared at him knowing full well that the white angel was aware.
"Bah, they'll be fine," said Etna.
"Then go."
Etna was the first one to go, followed by Flonne, then Laharl. They noticed
that the angels were on the sidelines. Then again, Pit was helping the Chaotix
out by healing them.
"Tsk, those angels...all talk, no action..." Laharl grumbled.
"I don't see you healing you bratty half pint!" Pit yelled. "Be a good boy and
get the Chaos Emerald and redeem yourself for getting a headshot."
"Come say that again here!"
"Kid, do your chores that you were assigned." Pit mocked.
"Who are you calling a kid?"
"You, you stupid-"
"Captain...you might want to look out."
The ice was shattered from the demon's might. Powerful dark magic almost hit
Pit. He saw it and blocked with his Mirror Shield. It reflected the magic back
at the demon causing a lot of damage. Thankfully for him, the prince managed to
avoid that spell.
"... I'll remember that, Captain." He whispered in a dark tone.
"Charge!" Charmy declared as he stupidly charged at the demons.
"Charmy, come back!"
Laharl blindly followed as well as Saber. The demon prince advanced, basically
kicking everything standing in his way. Saber was faster than Charmy and Laharl
combined. She just pushed the humans aside with vectors that came out of the
back of her body. Cream realized this and jumped farther back.
"Kill them please!" The rabbit ordered, and they opened fire.
"Not guns again!"
"Oh, not good!" Charmy had his stinger out. "Shoot and I'll sting you!"
They didn't listen and fired. Charmy dodged them flying back to Vector.
"I don't want to do this anymore! They're scary!"
"I told you to stay put!"
"Captain, can I please kill them?"
"No!" Pit shouted. "Just take the guns, break their bones, but don't kill
them."
"Breaking bones? That's something I can do."
"Even better than just killing them."
"Pit, not the violent approach!" Vector warned. "If Cream is hurt-"
"Everyone but her."
Pit finished healing the trio as he flew in the direction of the humans who
were still open firing on him. He had his shield out so bullets were harmless.
"The same tricks."
"I'm sick of this place already..."
"What's wrong kid? Worried that Captain is going to beat you?" Saber taunted.
"What, you mean you're afraid to get bitch slapped?"
Saber just smirked seeing that Laharl was getting riled up. Pit didn't break
bones like he said he would. He just backhanded many of the humans and killed
demons with his light magic single handedly with or without the trio's help.
Etna was attacking just like Laharl and Saber. As for Flonne, she attacked like
Pit. In the end, the humans had many bones broken. Saber made sure of that.
Soon it was just Cream and two demons.
"Okay Cream, time to wake up." Pit warned as light magic appeared in his arms.
"You know your mother wouldn't be happy if she saw you like this."
"I don't care! Mr. Samael said he give me everything in the world if you and
the others died!"
"...Damn...Samael is evil." Pit stated the obvious.
"Ohhh, and how do you know this Samael guy has everything you want to get?" The
redhead demon asked.
"Could be a big lie."
"Mr. Sonic couldn't give it to me and neither will Mr. Vector and mom." She
held the Chaos Emerald in her hand. "See~ I got this~"
"Too bad it doesn't work when under his control." Pit rolled his eyes as he
looked around the area hoping to find something. "Mcenche, do it."
"Oh! Making it now!" Mcenche said as he was carving something out of ice. Cream
glared at them and ordered an attack.
"Little girl, just go back to your cute self." Pit said. "Mcenche!"
Everything happened fast after that. Mcenche threw what he was working on at
the ceiling. It looked to be an ice chandelier. Pit took his arrow and shot it
straight down onto the rabbit.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Vector questioned angrily. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO HURT HER!"
To their surprise the ice was only hard enough to daze her but the Chaos
Emerald fell out of her hand. Saber used the vector to grab it and then Pit
finished up by shooting a powerful ray of light in her direction. Laharl, Etna
and Flonne could see it. There was a demon spirit inside of the little rabbit
and it flew out when hit by the blinding light. The other demons melted because
of the light. As the little rabbit was going to collapse, Pit rushed over to
her and grabbed her.
"Making the good girls go bad is another thing I don't like about this Samael."
Pit growled.
"Great, possessing demons now..." mumbled Laharl. "Just how much allies this
Samael guy has?"
"Most of Sonic's friends are in the same position." Pit explained.
"Tails...Knuckles...Amy...Rouge...and Blaze are left...and that's five Chaos
Emeralds there."
Pit took Cream and was going to hand her to Vector when she slowly came too
quickly in comparison to Shadow who was out cold.
"Cream, you okay?" Vector asked.
"W-Where am I?" She asked weakly. "! Cheese, where is Cheese?!"
"Oh, you mean this?" Mcenche asked as he had her Chao the entire time and no
one even noticed.
"Cheese!"
"Chao!"
The blue Chao flew over to his owner and the two embraced.
"I'm so sorry I forgot about you Cheese! I'm sorry!"
"Chao!"
She turned to everyone. The evil smile was there no more and it was an angelic
smile instead. "Thank you so much."
"... She changed attitude so fast... it's almost creepy..." Commented the
Overlord.
"Oh hi!" cheered Flonne. "You're name is Cream, right? I'm Flonne, nice to meet
you."
Cream smiled. "Nice to meet you. My name is Cream the rabbit and I hope we can
be good friends."
"Cream, can you tell us what happened?" Espio asked.
"You mean what happened when I was with Mr. Sonic?" She asked. She looked ready
to cry remembering the moment. "I didn't know what came over me...Mr. Samael
told me that he was a good person and was labeled a villain because history
rewrote him as one and he was just doing his job..."
"Don't listen to strangers." Pit told her. "Your mom told you that."
"I'm so sorry if I caused you any problems..."
"Nah, you'll just tell us what happened back on the Egg Fleet or whatever
Egghead called it this time."
"Now I need to find the computer room!" Vector declared.
"Upstairs."
"Backtracking..."
"Is there an easier-"
"Mcenche, Saber."
The two groaned as Mcenche went to lift Espio off the ground as Saber did to
Vector. Charmy didn't need that as he flew and so did Cream to the demon trio's
surprise. "Time to fly."
The group flew toward the computer room where there was another teleporter,
ready to go back to Angel Land. Before they could use it though...
"I see you guys have two Chaos Emeralds now~"
Pit frowned. "Not now..."
Oh it was Samael all right showing up in that dragon form of his. He was still
snickering at everyone below him.
"Oh my little Cream. You allowed the angels to let you see the light." He
taunted.
Cream frowned. "That wasn't very nice Mr. Samael! You said you weren't the
villain, yet what you did to Mr. Sonic is unforgivable!"
"Oh Cream, that wasn't my doing. That was you guys figuring out that the
hedgehog was a backstabbing rat."
"He's got a point you know..." Commented Etna.
"Be quiet, you don't know jack about Sonic!" Pit shouted, his tone turning
sour. Mcenche noticed a dark aura coming from the angel and backed off and
issued Espio to hurry up with the transporter.
"Oh, I don't do I?" Samael asked with an evil smile. "He's a blue hedgehog.
He's the fastest thing alive. He's twenty years old with green eyes. He can't
swim. He always has to be right. Without his friends, he's useless. And-"
Pit shot light magic at him. "You run your mouth too much. If these Emeralds
weren't tainted, I would kick your ass with them."
"…Not going to act, Prince?" Asked the red haired vassal.
"Nah…I want to see that angel get his ass kicked first."
Samael laughed at that statement. "As much as I would like to have my fun now,
I have more important places to be, like plan an important wedding~"
"Who would marry you?" Saber had to ask.
"Oh, anyone can marry me when I put my mind to it~"
"Asshole." Mcenche said with a sigh.
"I hope he'll do that shifting look thing..." Etna commented.
"Yeah... probably shifting into a woman and trick a man... Oh boy, I don't know
which one I would pity the most."
Pit seemed to think differently though. "You wouldn't."
Samael smirked. "I would, and there's nothing anyone here can do to stop me~"
The enemy barely had time to dodge a quick light spell that could have purified
him if hit. That same attack almost hit the demons.
"Pit...calm down..." Mcenche tried but it was useless.
"You're dead to me!"
"Oh...I think I pushed your buttons..." Samael stated the obvious as he backed
off.
"Hey, learn to aim!"
"You almost got me asshole!"
"How about you shut up and get back before I kill you."
"I'll kill you before you can do anything!"
"Dude, you seriously need to move." Mcenche warned. "Pit is going to blow."
"And you think that scares me?"
"Uh...yes?"
Everyone backed up when Pit took the gold ring on his arm off. Suddenly, this
burst of aura hit him like a lightning bolt that struck the sky. Everyone who
wasn't prepared was blown back. Samael put some black shades on to block the
light.
"I see you have exploded."
"Could have told you that." Saber mocked. "Mcenche, please make an ice
barrier."
"He'll melt it!"
"Make two then!" Etna shouted.
"Uh..."
"Hurry up, freeze boy!" Laharl ordered.
Mcenche hurried because Pit unleashed a very powerful light attack that even
Samuel was stunned by it.
"Wh-what is that?" asked the demon boy, covering his eyes.
"He's mad." Mcenche stated the obvious. "I wish he wasn't this pissed."
"Why won't you stop him if you don't want him to turn like that?"
"Uh..."
"Because it's too late." Saber said with a sigh. "Maybe he'll do some damage."
Pit's entire body was white. He looked like the Avatar, ready to kick ass.
Samael's sunglasses fell when he saw that Pit was forming a huge light saber
made of light.
"Ah shit..."
"Wow~~! Got for it Mister Pit!" Cheered Flonne.
Pit unleashed a powerful light attack at Samael. Samael didn't think he would
survive so he moved out of the way at the last minute but given that Pit is
able to control his arrows, he was able to give his light magic a u-turn. He
was hit directly, but thanks to the negative energy coming from this world, it
only grazed him. Still, it did not please him that he was injured.
That even impressed the Overlord. "Not bad for an angel..."
Samael thought the same thing, as he had to cover his arm that was bleeding.
Pit however looked exhausted from that one attack.
"To think that if I wasn't in this world, I would have been obliterated."
Samael commented. "Then again, I got your hedgehog friend to thank for that."
Pit glared at him. He had a hard time standing up because of the attack but he
looked ready to shoot another blast.
"Give Sonic back..." Pit muttered darkly. "I'll fire again."
"Oh I wouldn't want that." Samuel joked. "I guess I'll leave now before you do,
now will I?"
"You won't go away that easily!" The Overlord yelled. "I still have some
business with you."
"Oh, you're still here? I thought I only had the angels and Mobians to deal
with." He snarked.
"Well sorry to disappoint you... oh wait, no, I'm not sorry."
Samael turned his attention back to Pit. "Just so you know, I'm keeping that
hedgehog. If you want him back, you'll have to find me, but that's hard once I
spread the darkness to other worlds~"
"Hey! I'm talking to you!" the Prince continued to shout hated the fact he was
being ignored. To Samael, Laharl didn't exist. It was just between him and the
angel that did damage to him. "HEY! Don't you dare ignoring me!"
Samael kept doing so as a dark portal appeared behind him. "Well I'm off. Good
luck defeating the rest of Sonic's friends."
"Come back here!"
Pit wasn't done either. Saber held her Captain back with her vectors.
"... Well... he's gone." Etna stated the oblivious.
"That bastard!"
Pit ended up collapsing due to using his light magic. The light that was
radiating from his body was still going. Fortunately, Saber put the ring back
on his wrist.
"... So... is it done or what?" Asked the red haired one.
"The teleporter is working now." Espio said.
"Great, let's got find that Egghead again."
The Mobians seemed really worried though about something.
"... Pff... what's their problem now?"
They didn't say anything.
"... I don't like how they're staring at us... they're creepy."
"Can we go now?" Mcenche asked annoyed that the demons were just standing
there.
"Well we're waiting for you to go first."
===============================================================================
The teleporter sent them back to Dr. Eggman's Egg Carrier. At this point, that
owl they talked about Olivia was there with Silver. The black hedgehog seemed
to be slowly coming too.
"You're back already? I thought it would take you longer."
"He's knocked out Egghead." Saber said with a sigh. "Where can I rest him?"
Dr. Eggman turned around in his chair annoyed that it was the pink haired angel
speaking. "...Over there."
"Is he okay?" Asked Flonne, worried about Shadow.
"He's coming too." Sliver explained.
"Oh! Thanks goodness..."
"And he brought Cream back." Eggman added. "Cream, when Shadow wakes up, please
be prepared to tell us what happened."
"..."
"Don't worry little Cream," the fallen angel added, "no one is mad at you for
what happened."
"...But because of what I did...Mr. Sonic is..."
"You were manipulated by that demon." Interrupted Laharl with a serious tone.
"That's his fault, and not yours, but if you feel guilty anyway, the only thing
you can do to get yourself forgiven is to not let him trick you again."
Pit was...rather surprised that he didn't blame her. The rabbit nodded her head
as an answer.
"So, what did happen?" Saber asked. "What exactly was the mind game?"
"...He just told me he was the real victim here...and Mr. Sonic wasn't giving
him a chance to hear his side of the story..."
"... That's it?"
"He wanted one person to listen to his story...I thought it wouldn't hurt to
listen to him..." She stared at the ground. "I can't remember what he told me
though..."
"Next time, just cover your ears."
Her ears folded up slightly as a result. Her Chao didn't look too happy.
Laharl tried to 'cheer her up' in how own way again. "You know he lies all time
so... next time just don't listen to him."
"Cream is like that." Silver explained. "She's willing to listen to anyone."
"I'm sorry..."
"It's not your fault Cream." Dr. Eggman said. "You're just too naive."
"..."
"Then I'll just make it easier: don't listen to demons."
"... Prince, what you just said makes no sense." mocked Etna.
"But even demons have hearts!" Cream exclaimed. "Just like robots." She turned
to Pit. "And you're brother is also a demon isn't he."
Pit sighed. "Not really..."
"... Please tell me the others we have to save aren't like her..." Laharl
suddenly said, starting to get annoyed by the young rabbit already.
"What part? In listening to Samuel's lies and illusions or the way they're
tricked?" Silver asked. He turned to Shadow who was coming to. "Oh, you're
waking up Shadow."
"...This is...?"
"The new Egg Carrier outside of space. Thank the doctor."
Shadow growled as he looked around. "…Pit...you brought more friends..."
"Not really..."
"...You know, I think this will always amuse me how someone actually thought
that 'eggs' were scary..." commented Etna. She too seemed bored of the
situation already.
Eggman glared at her. "How dare you! Using eggs is a wonderful idea! It
represents me! The evil doctor extraordinaire!"
"Uh huh...a fat egg..." Pit said with a sigh. "Shadow, what happened with
Samael? You're the last person I expected to be affected by his mind games..."
Shadow paused for a minute not understanding what he meant before he got to
him. His stoic expression changed to anger, as he looked ready to blow. "That
bastard! I'm going to kill him when I get my hands on him!"
"Did he trick the Ultimate Life Form?" Silver questioned.
"No…he didn't…"
"What happened…erm…Mr. Shadow, right?" asked Flonne.
"…"
"..It's okay, take your time." She said with a cute smile.
"But not too much..." Added the demon Prince.
"Shadow?" worried the Captain.
"...I'm having a hard time remembering. I didn't fall for his illusions. I
think it was forced..."
Eggman scowled. "As I anticipated."
"W-What do you mean Shadow?"
"He doesn't need to use mind games to brainwash you. He already has that power.
Beat him at his own game and he does it on his own."
"…So basically, that means he can control you even if you don't believe a shit
of what he tells you?" resumed Laharl. "Well... now what?"
Shadow turned away pissed. He was certain he was strong willed if he could
fight off Black Doom...but if Black Doom came back to haunt him like in the
illusions...
"It's it obvious?" Silver began. "We got to find the others and the other Chaos
Emeralds!"
"That's going to be difficult." Pit said with a sigh. "I'm already warn out..."
"Then stay put." Saber mocked. "Get the other royal bodyguards to do the dirty
work."
"...I'm not leaving any of them near Samael." Pit stated in a captain like
tone. "If he's going to do this to Sonic and friends, they're not doing it to
my family."
"But you used most of your powers..." Mcenche added.
Pit rolled his eyes. "Would it kill to say I kind of lied about that?"
Mcenche and Saber weren't really surprised.
"Why didn't you used them against Samael if you still have plenty of power?"
frowned Laharl.
"You heard what he said about negative energy." Pit reminded him. "If the area
he was in didn't have so much negative energy, my powers would be much
stronger. That entire place a handicap on me..."
"If you consider that a handicap." Saber added. "Still enough to destroy
armies."
"Not enough to get rid of him..."
"How useless..."
"I didn't see you lay a finger on him." Pit mocked. "And you're the demon
prince, the strongest demon in that hellhole compared to me whose just one
angel of the twelve royal bodyguards."
"I happen to dislike bright lights."
"Even before the lights..." Pit grinned. "I heard from a certain messenger that
he kicked your ass in your own place."
He frowned. "Same thing happened to your angels."
"I told them to stand back."
"But they did destroy half of my castle."
"I'm sure the messenger gave you the money to repair it."
"Yes, but they didn't had to destroy my castle in the first place."
"Well maybe if you actually listen to that crazy fire angel, you wouldn't have
to worry about your place." Mcenche ended up defending.
"It doesn't matter if it's Heaven or Hell, she'll destroy the place without
paying a dime." Saber added.
"Why would I have wanted to do that?" He snapped. "Samael showed us because he
was following you angels!"
"Are you sure about that?"
"Why do you even bother to ask me that?"
"I thought you were smarter than that. Guess I was wrong."
"What, afraid to know you're not the best in something?"
"Hey Captain," Saber interrupted, "who are we supposed to go after next?"
Pit turned to Dr. Eggman. "Who do you think we should save next?"
"It depends." Eggman told him. "According to Silver, some of the brainwashing
is worse than others." Shadow frowned. "I think it would be best to go after
Amy and Blaze last..."
"I'm worried about everyone..." Cream mumbled.
"It will be fine Cream!" Vector exclaimed. "We'll save them and can find Sonic
afterward."
"That is only if he didn't committed suicide..."
Pit looked ready to stab Laharl right there.
"Then we must hurry and save everyone else!" Added Flonne, fire in her eyes.
"That's the spirit!" Eggman declared. "You guys need to prepare yourselves
before I send you to the next area where there is Chaos energy."
"Hopefully people there won't throw stuffs at us..." Commented the demon
prince.
"They will." added Pit.
"Great, I'll use you as my personal shield then."
"Good luck with that."
"You're welcome, shield."
"Fucking brat..."
"Shields aren't supposed to talk."
Pit went over to him and shoved him similar to what Ike would do to his
companions if they were in the way. Shadow found this rather amusing given how
Laharl fell back very easily.
"!...Oh no you didn't just do that..."
Pit didn't respond. He was smirking though as if saying. "The shield isn't
supposed to talk. You can ram people with shields you know."
Laharl stood up, glaring at him like he was saying; "I'll get you for this..."
Pit just pointed to him still not talking. It was like he was saying, "Soon."
Dr. Eggman found this amusing as he went back to what he was doing. The other
angels thought it was funny too given that Pit seriously wasn't going to speak
for a while just to piss the demon prince off.
"So, speaking in his place," Mcenche began, "be ready to leave soon."
"Roger sir!" 
It took time to prepare but by the time the group was ready, Eggman sent them
back to the planet. Shadow and Silver went with them this time and the Chaotix
stayed behind. They were still waiting for Olivia to come back.
Chapter End Notes
     Me: TBC with 9701 words. The Mobius arc would be divided into three
     sections. The title makes it easier to see how we divided it up.
     There are three parts to the Mobius arc…and then after this, you
     readers will probably notice the Sonic characters will fade out with
     little mention in the future given the dire situation the royal
     bodyguards, the Overlord and his vassals face. Notes…
     1. You can obviously tell that what happened to Sonic happened to
     Twilight Sparkle. It was intentional because Samael is a shapeshifter
     like Discord. Sometimes, he takes the form of Discord (given that
     Gods and demons do watch TV) just to piss people off given there are
     a lot of Bronies and he would be spitting on their names for turning
     into a beloved character. There are some differences than what
     happened to Twlight's friends and its based on something that each
     character is known for…
     Tails as shown in Sonic Colors is starting to become more sarcastic
     toward Sonic. Samael just took this lack of respect of Sonic recently
     and ran away with it.
     Knuckles is known for being honest but gullible. Samael did an Apple
     Jack on him.
     Amy's love for Sonic turned into absolute hate. You can see what
     Samael did to her.
     Cream went from polite rabbit to spoiled brat and he used her kind-
     hearted nature to brainwash her.
     Rogue can be greedy but when the situation really calls for it, she
     won't let it get to her head. Samael did a Rarity on her.
     Blaze when first introduced was shown to be quiet, anti-social cat
     that only cared about her missions. She slowly opened up to Sonic and
     the group before officially being added to the main cast. Samael
     basically twisted the definition of friendship with her and turned
     her back into what she was before becoming friends with Sonic only
     crueler.
     Shadow was forcefully brainwashed like with Fluttershy. He was immune
     because Shadow has shown to accept the past concerning Space Colony
     ARK and letting go of his hate toward humans for Maria's sake. Samael
     tried to twist Maria's wish against him, but Shadow knew better, so
     Samael just forcefully hypnotized him.
     Silver was immune intentionally because Silver is looked down as the
     character no one likes in the franchise until recently and Samael
     thought Silver wouldn't be able to do shit.
     2. So I gave some more spells to Mcenche given all he does in Fallen
     Angel is skate during battle so here, he is capable of making many
     things from ice like crystal barriers and icy roads to travel on.
     Saber didn't use much of her powers here given all she has are
     vectors.
     3. If you read Fallen Angel, you'll understand why Pit is incredibly
     powerful.
***** Mobius Arc II *****
Chapter Summary
     The search for the Chaos Emeralds and Sonic's friends continue.
     Things might have to be put on halt though when they encounter the
     Guardian of Destruction.
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
The group ended up in another part of Mobius that appeared to be Chun-Nan given
the Chinese structures. Pit murmured something about bringing Sun-Wong along
but Mcenche denied that idea.
"...There's no one here..." Etna stated the obvious as she sighed in
frustration. She wanted to go all out at this point.
"Shadow, where is the Chaos Emerald?" Pit asked.
"I cannot feel anything here. We'll have to go in further."
"Great...as if the United States wasn't already having problems...we have China
too..."
"Is it really far away?"
"No...it's close."
"I expect an ambush." Silver added trying to pick up any signs of life here.
"There is life here but so much negative life."
"Well…what are you waiting for? Do your job, shield." The prince announced in a
mocking tone. The angel chose to pay no heed to the brat and turned to Mcenche
and Saber.
"You might want to stop that or he might shove you again." Mcenche warned.
"He would have had it coming." Saber mocked as she walked ahead of the group.
"There's no death. Just evil."
"Let's finish this up quickly then."
Even though he said that, they proceeded slowly. Mcenche had his sword out
while the Sabers just appeared out of her back. Pit noted that the vectors took
the forms of deformed heads and were whispering cryptic words to their host.
"Be careful." Saber warned as the heads pulled away from the death angel.
"They're close."
"But I don't sense any-"
Shadow pulled Silver back as he felt the strong surge.
"What now?"
Pit reacted the fasted to the next attack. He got out his mirror shield and
blocked an attack that was aimed for the prince.
"See? You can do a good job when you put yourself into it."
"Fuck you brat! You can't even sense it!" Pit cursed. "More of them are coming.
Mcenche, Saber, get ready."
The other angels were ready to kick ass.
"GO!"
Lasers were shooting from all over the place. Shadow used Chaos Control to get
Silver away. Mcenche created an ice barrier to protect Flonne while Saber
knocked most of the lasers away with her vectors that grew out of her body
similar to a demon. The heads would eat the lasers before disappearing into
light while the hands caught the lasers and broke them like a pencil snapping
in two.
"Where is that Chaos Emerald?" Pit cursed as he charged ahead. If Laharl didn't
want to be a sitting duck, he would run after him.
"...It's over there." Shadow noted pointing in the direction of the chaos
energy.
Pit picked up the pace and flew faster with the Wings of Icarus. Laharl
followed behind the angel. He was surprised that despite him releasing much of
his power during the encounter with Samael, he acted like he didn't use it at
all unless he was pushing himself.
"He's up ahead!" Silver exclaimed as Shadow continued to Chaos Control with the
silver hedgehog in arm.
While Pit was busy fighting up some enemies away, Laharl sneaked out and passed
them.
He didn't know who the target was except it was up ahead.
"So let's see...big shiny stone..."
Pit knocked more lasers away to see who was shooting them. The Chinese were
possessed by Samael making the white angel realize that he couldn't go all out
this time in fear of harming innocent citizens controlled by that demon.
"Brat, watch yourself! Something is coming!"
"Huh?"
Pit rushed toward him at top speed. He tried to get him out of the way. It was
then did he see it was Tails that was attacking them. He couldn't hit him due
to being Sonic's best friend and little brother. So he ended up taking the blow
but because he was too close to Laharl though they were both sent flying.
"You two are forever connected." Tails laughed evilly. "My inventions are
awesome! I don't need Sonic or any of his friends to be great!"
Pit wanted to kill himself. The laser was a magic spell that chained the person
next to him by the hand. His right hand was chained to Laharl's left hand.
Oh hell no...
"Urg…I'll...kill that little bastard..." He growled, trying to stand up, but
something was keeping him down. "Let me go shield!"
Pit was too irritated to move.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!"
"..."
"Captain, you need to move!" Saber warned.
Pit stood up and dodged the next laser aimed at him yanking the chain that had
Laharl on him.
"Uh..."
Because of that, Laharl suddenly understood why the angel was so quiet.
"Oh…"
Pit was barely able to dodge the attack mainly because he wasn't going to let
Laharl get hit despite how annoying he was.
"There are too many of them!" Silver exclaimed. "It's no use!"
"Shut up! We'll regroup!" Saber shouted at the Captain. "We all can't charge
in! We're taking different routes!"
"You do that!"
"Right!"
And Laharl hid behind Pit. "Do your job, shield!"
Pit glared at the demon prince. "So much for the demon prince doing anything
except weighing me down..."
The angel couldn't even use his weapons like this.
"Well if you were that so great, like you claim to be, that detail wouldn't
bother you."
Pit began to speak in a different language as he created a magic barrier in
front of him. It was weaker than it normally was as the lasers were causing a
lot of stress toward the angel. Without warning, he spread his wings and rushed
off toward the enemy despite the fact there were lasers aimed at them.
Naturally, the Demon Prince had no other choices but follow.
Tails wasn't expecting this. Despite shooting at him, Pit flew toward him and
knocked him aside. Laharl was hit by the debris coming their way, but Pit
didn't seem to care that he was getting hurt.
The base they were heading inside was huge. Because Saber was doing her job and
distracting the corrupt humans, they manage to get in. The place was so dark
though from the power being out from the chaos Samael put this place through.
Pit ended up flying behind a door that seemed to be abandoned. It was full of
cardboard boxes.
"...Woohoo... boxes..." He said, rolling his eyes. "Let's burn them."
"Shut up and get in. If Snake can hide in boxes and be undetected, then you can
too!"
He literally threw Laharl inside one of them but Pit had to go in too. He made
sure to close the box...but as a result, the two were cramped and because there
was no room, Laharl had to criticize the method of hiding.
"You DO know those things can easily break, right?"
"...Does your mouth have an off button?"
"Can you just stop stealing my oxygen?"
"We don't really have that much of a choice, so please shut up for once."
"You shut up!"
"No you!"
"No you!" He repeated, hitting him with his elbow.
"You!" Pit shouted as he tried to punch him with his best hand but forgot they
are connected and ended up falling on top of him.
The awkward moment caused Laharl to shut up for once...even if it was for a
short time.
"G-g-get off!" He squeaked trying to push him back.
Pit got off easily and kept his distance. It exasperated him that he couldn't
see Laharl's reaction. Uncomfortable sure but he felt just as awkward.
"..."
"…Get moving, will you?"
"…We have to wait awhile until things die down outside..."
"You mean we have to stay in that box?"
"Just for a while..."
"Tsk..."
The two ended up sitting in the box waiting for a long time. They didn't speak
a word to each other despite being so close making things more awkward than it
already was. Neither could see the expression the other had, but it must have
been one of discomfort. Something was still plaguing Laharl's mind and he ended
up using the chance to question the angel.
"...Tell me...how an angel ended up being a friend with a hedgehog?"
"...Subspace Emissary." He ended up answering. "We were all just minding our
own business until he came and messed everything up. A band of us that everyone
calls The Smashers teamed up after our disagreements and fighting against one
enough and defeated this greater evil...I met Sonic at the end..."
He sighed as he thought about Sonic. "He was so full of energy back then. Even
when we were all screwed over by that bastard...Sonic appeared at the end and
gave us an advantage..." He sank further into depression the more he spoke of
his blue friend. "I can't imagine Sonic trying to kill himself given he's the
one always encouraging all of us..."
"Everyone has up and downs you know..."
Pit didn't seem convinced and only sighed in defeat as a response.
"If I figured out Samael was released sooner...I could have prevented this..."
Laharl could conclude one thing from this one question. Pit was very hard on
himself and was pushing himself to ungodly levels.
"And what would you have done? "
"I would have stopped Sonic's friend's from turning on him. I don't think they
were aware that Samael was capable of mind games...all Sonic had to deal with
was straight forward brute force..."
"Maybe, maybe not. That's all in the past and you can't do anything about it."
The angel didn't respond to Laharl's words so he continued.
"Just do everything you can to stop him if you feel so guilty about it."
"...That's the first considerate thing that came from your mouth." Pit ended up
retorting with. Since it was so dark, Laharl couldn't see that the angel was
smiling.
"I hate whiners, that's all."
"Who said I was whining a brat?"
"You were about to cry, don't lie about it."
"Me cry? Please!"
"You were about to~"
"Keep on dreaming you demon brat!"
"Don't lie~ Angels aren't supposed to lie~"
"Who said that?"
"Ohhh, you're not an angel perhaps?"
Pit looked behind him hearing voices. It was the perfect distraction.
"What's wrong, angel~?"
"Keep your voice down, they're coming..."
"Huh?"
"Where are they?" Pit could hear Tails yell. "I want them found now! If they
find the Chaos Emerald then Samael will kill me!"
"Why is that a problem? You're not Sonic's puppet anymore so dying by Samael's
hands wouldn't be a problem."
"I will not be put in the same category as that annoying hedgehog!"
Pit visibly flinched that Laharl could feel the angel tense up. Pit wasn't use
to the best friend of Sonic insulting Sonic like he was...nothing but a pest...
"Shhh." Pit shushed as he made sure the bluenette was quiet.
"What about this room?"
"There's nothing here. Just boxes."
"It's a perfect hiding place!"
"But that's so obvious Tails...try over there."
"Argh! All humans here are useless!"
Tails didn't search behind the door in the end though and stormed off yelling
to turn up the security.
"...Sheesh what a dumbass..."
"...The humans yeah..."
"Can we get out? "
"...Yeah...I think it's safe..."
Laharl just threw away the box while Pit used some of his magic to light up the
room.
"Well...?"
"...We follow them. I think Tails has something that can get this chain
off...hopefully..."
"Hopefully?"
"There are some idiots that never think their plan through."
Without any warning, Pit got up and flew out of the room dragging Laharl with
him. Laharl expected to be dragged anyway but Pit was flying low enough for him
to actually hop on his back.
"Hey! Warn me when you're about to fly away, okay?"
"You told me to hurry up."
"Warn me first!"
Pit rolled his eyes. He could hear the soldiers making their way to him. "I'm
going to keep charging ahead so...you better hold on."
"Alright-alright..."
"...You know I can fly too, right?"
"Really? I thought those wings were just for show."
"I know I use the Wings of Icarus to allow me to fly when I'm alone, but they
still flap."
Pit stopped flying. "Then show me so I don't have to drag you."
"Fine, where do you need to go?"
"Straight ahead."
Laharl grinned and spread his wings. "Got it." And he flew straight forward,
this time being the one dragging.
Pit at first was overwhelmed before flapping his wings harder to keep up with
him.
"What's wrong? You want me to slow down?" He teased.
"Hell no..." Pit muttered as he finally was able to match him speed by speed.
"You sure? Seems like you got troubles~..."
"No way!"
And he started to fly faster than Laharl.
"Trying to beat me?"
"I'm not letting some kid beat me at flight."
"Pfff, there's no shame in being beaten by someone younger, old man."
"Old? Are you for real?"
They almost made it to the room as the two ended up bickering. If they kept it
up, they might have missed their destination.
"Where does that flying weakness come from then?"
"Why would I tell it to y-" Pit cut himself off as he forced them both to stop.
Pit knew his wrist was red from holding Laharl back and for good reasons. They
made it in the room Tails and the guards were in but if they kept flying, they
would have flew into a deadly trap.
"Dammit! So close!" Tails whined.
"Ahh, see what you've done, shield. Almost got us into a trap!"
"That's your fault for rushing ahead brat!"
"YOU told be to rush ahead."
"And you were going too fast!"
The possessed Tails hated being ignored when he was supposed to be upgraded to
the a millionth power making him more awesome and someone you couldn't ignore.
"Get them my men! Kill them while they'll fighting!"
Pit rolled his eyes as he aimed his magic at the guards and shot them with his
light magic. "For Pete's sake! Shut up!"
"Stay close you brat, you're next!"
Soon gunfire was being exchanged. Instead of the two fleeing, Pit kept going
forward. Eventually Tails panicked and got his gun out and shot them. Pit
pushed Laharl out of the way just so the chain would break.
"Uh oh..."
"And now I can knock you out~"
"Hey, be careful will you?!
"Ah be quiet and do your job!"
"How do you want me to do my job if you keep pushing me around like a puppet?"
"I don't know how I can do that if I'm the shield." Pit said in a mocking voice
as he used his freed hand to get his bow out and twirl it in front of him while
talking effectively showing off.
"Is this bow only for showing or will you decide to use it?"
"What? I thought you were going to teach them a lesson. Or do you want the
adults to handle everything while the children stay in one spot and watch in
admiration?"
"I don't feel like getting my hands dirty."
"Give me an award and maybe I'll end this faster before you can say licitly
split~"
"What the fuck does licitly split means?"
"Is that a yes or no?"
"Sheesh...just do as you want you butt head..."Pit just chuckled as he was off.
He knocked out most of the guards before they could even blink. Laharl didn't
know what magic spell he was using that was making him move fast but Pit was
pulling off insane combos without killing them. Tails was panicking and backing
up toward a safe.
Laharl was sure to keep an eye on the two-tailed fox while Pit was busy doing
all the fighting.
Tails unlocked the safe and got out a huge machine gun.
"Samael said not to use this but you're dying right now!"
"Hey, shield, trouble!"
Pit felt something different about the gun. The gun was fired at him. He
thought he could block it easily with his shield. To his horror, the bullet
went through the shield and he ended up taking some damage. Bullets could not
kill an angel that easily but Pit built up endurance against guns in general
because of Smash Brothers mansion. This one was no exception but it still hurt
as hell.
"Guh..."
"Fire!"
Pit still managed to move despite being shot at. His wounds were hurting...
"You dumb! Be careful!"
The Overlord pushed the angel out of the way of the next attack before turning
his attention to the two tailed fox.
Tails just pointed the machine gun at Laharl. "Don't you idiot! That gun...I
think that's a-"
"If you don't know what it is don't be a fool and don't use it you idiot!"
Tails fired the bullets at Laharl who quickly pulled out his sword and warded
of the bullets, making it closer to Tails. However, these bullets were
different. They were causing dents in his sword. Tails wasn't using the strong
bullet that broke through Pit's shield.
"Come on you useless Guardian! Get them!"
The Guardian did not respond well and seem to reject Tails by shooting in every
direction.
"Hey, your target is right here! Can't aim anymore can we?"
The gun then started to float in the air and shoved Tails away with a
remarkable force. It started to glow and turn into a human with messy red hair
and red eyes. His entire body seemed to be made out of machine as he wore a
metallic uniform.
"You're annoying, you know that?"
"It's a natural talent…who are you?"
"I'm the Guardian of Destruction known as Cyrax. If you're not worthy, I will
not serve you, and this corrupt fox is annoying as well."
He turned around prepared to shoot Tails. "So disappear."
Laharl wouldn't have had cared if the fox died. Pit did and instantly ignored
his injuries to do a diving save in front of the fox. Cryax thought the angel
did not have the strength to even pull that off. Before Cyrax could continue
shooting, Laharl grabbed his arm. "You're coming with me."
The robot glared at him. "Try me, you half breed."
Laharl's eyes quivered for a second before he stared menacingly at the robot.
"What did you call me?"
"As a Guardian, I can tell what you are. I am not letting some half-breed take
control of me. They're all pathetic!"
The demon prince squeezed his arm hard. "Who are you calling pathetic?"
He didn't even flinch."You."
Pit managed to knock Tails out and force the darkness out of him when he heard
the accusation.
"... Do you really care for that arm because you're going to lose it."
Cyrax just looked at his arm. In a blink of an eye, that arm turned into a
machine gun.
"You were saying?"
"You're still going to lose it."
"Not if I shoot you first."
"Just try."
"Don't do it..." Pit warned the prince.
"Don't you give me orders! That kid insulted me."
Pit frowned. "It's not wise to piss of a Guardian when you don't know what
they're capable of."
"It's not any wiser to insult MEeither!"
"Now you're just being a brat." Pit muttered. "Get away from him or you'll end
up with your head blown off!"
While they were arguing, Cyrax was preparing an attack to do just that. Laharl
noticed and pushed the Guardian down, stepping on his head before he could
react, but Cryax continued counting down in a robotic voice.
"5...4...3..."
"Stop counting backward and let's get out of here."
Pit realized that Cyrax planned on detonating before pulling himself together.
The angel quickly cast a spell strong enough to protect Tails from the
explosion before pushing Laharl out of the way when Cyrax counted to zero. The
robot Guardian detonated, almost obliterating everything in the room. Pit took
the full force of the attack shielding Laharl's body. Pit was use to this
though. Snake planting detonators in his wings and bob-ombs raining from the
sky during Sudden Death made this look like nothing...but it still hurt because
it wasn't Smash Brothers...
"Guhh..."
The Overlord did not expect the angel to shield him from the explosion. Pit
could feel the blood dripping from his face. It still was nothing though. If
Isaak were here, he would say this made him 20% cooler.
Cyrax wasn't expecting that. He quickly put himself together. "...I didn't
think an angel would protect a half-breed."
Hearing the word made Laharl search the ground for falling debris. Picking up a
small piece of debris in the shape of a rock, he threw it at the Guardian
expecting him to stop referring to him as a half demon. Cyrax was unfazed as he
prepared to fire again. Pit wouldn't be able to fly for a while despite trying
to stand up again. The demon Prince wailed toward him and violently attacked
the Guardian before he could reply.
"Wait...idiot..." Pit croaked as he collapsed. Why was this kid so difficult?
Cyrax's expression remained as robotic as ever taking the blows and feeling no
pain.
"You want some too?!"
"Are all half-breeds this short tempered?"
Pit couldn't move anymore. He needed to stop Laharl before the same thing
happened again.
He smashed his head again. "Don't call me that!"
"But it's true. I only speak the truth."Cyrax mocked.
"Shut up!"
"Shouldn't you be attending to your angel friend, half-breed or do you not care
that he might bleed to death?"
"So you can shoot me as soon I show you my back? I don't think so."
Laharl grabbed Cyrax's neck and dragged him along toward Pit.
Cyrax countenance was that of a sadistic clown enjoying seeing the misfortune
befalling those he was supposed to entertain. "So you're taking me to him when
I can shoot you both?" He could still speak normally because he was a robotic
Guardian.
"Shut up."
"Uh...brat...he might...explode again..."
"Then you'll be my shield again, I don't see any problems."
"Ungrateful half-breed." The redhead continued to mock knowing he was getting a
rise out of the Overlord.
"Do you want me to poke your eyes out?" he replied to the Guardian.
"I'm a Guardian robot."
"Robot or not, you can't do much without your eyes."
"Are you testing me?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
Pit felt his strength leaving him. Where were the royal bodyguards when you
need them?
"Ah Bengel, now is not ze time to be attacking ze Roboter."
Speak of the devil. Pit could barely make out the yellow angel coming down from
the ceiling and landing next to Tails.
"Guardians won't flinch no matter what you do Bengel." He told the prince.
"Don't you give me orders!"
"Is zis really ze time to be yelling Bengel?" Isaak asked as he snatched the
Chaos Emerald from Tails' tail. "'According to ze mission, you guys are
supposed to save Tails, get ze Chaos Emerald and leave. Zere is no reason to
provoke a Guardian zat you can easily win zeir trust and being a bengel isn't
going to do zat."
Isaak was dead serious when he said that as he lifted up Tails. "Captain, can
you move?"
"No...gah...my wings..."
"Kaguju expected this so Aqua will be here shortly~"
"...Bastard..."
The demon Prince sighed. He let go the Guardian lifted the Captain on his
shoulder without problems, potato-bag style.
"Fine, I'm tired of this place anyway..."
"H-Hey! Put me down!" Pit protested not liking to be carried by a kid
physically stronger than him. He was too weak to care and just gave up pounding
on his back with his wrists.
Soon Aqua came down with her staff aiming it in every direction before resting
it by her arms.
"captain...you got your ass kicked."
"...Shut up!"
"Bring that one." He ordered her, mentioning Cyrax.
"don't order me around brat." Aqua responded in a monotone voice as she focused
on healing the Captain first, so he could walk at the very least. "Isaak, you
go make the pact."
"M-Me? Shouldn't ze Captain..."
"you're good with guns. you handle him."
Once he was healed, Laharl dropped him down. Pit still groaned in pain from the
fall. Aqua glared at Laharl...actually he couldn't tell she was glaring with
those types of eyes.
"Please respect the injured." She said raising her voice. She then turned to
Isaak. "hurry up. Saber will kill everyone outside soon."
"Wouldn't be ze first time." Isaak said as he went up to Cyrax. "Please make a
pact with me."
"Just like that? You got to be kidding me."
"Please, I got cool guns in ze sixth division. Maggie and I are part of ze
repair division where we make and forge weapons. My preference is guns of
course from the AK-47 to ze SPAS-12. I would like to examine what type of built
in guns you have but only zose who love guns can do it."
"...Really?"
"Of course~ Zere's no need for me to lie."
"...Done."
"What, that's all?"
"He did say please and didn't proceed to beat me up." Cyrax mocked. "Plus I
want to see if he has big guns."
"Oh I have big guns alright~" Isaak said in a seductive tone causing Aqua to
walk up to him and poke him in the eyes. "AHHHHHHHH!"
"thought so."
"Tsss... go... now... I'm sick of this place."
"Aqua, how...do we get out."
"well...you guys need to the doctor." Aqua said. "I just came here to heal
you."
"Aqua..."
"...Isaak, give me the teleportation stone. you get everyone else back to the
ship. I'm taking everyone here."
"Fine..."
Isaak tossed a weird colored stone toward Aqua. Without warning, she teleported
them back so fast before anyone could say anything.
===============================================================================
When the group got back on Eggman's spaceship they were surprised to see
penguins with bat wings invading the whole place.
"... Etna sure made herself comfortable while we were gone..." The Overlord
sighed.
Dr. Eggman didn't mind at all. They seem to do all the chores around his ship.
He was laughing like one of the upper class twits while they did it.
"Oh ho ho ho~ Nothing has ever been finished this quickly before."
"Don't get used to them, baldhead. They're mine."
"Well, I won't be needing any robots with this Samael destroying my rival..."
He said as he pulled his mustache. "It's a shame. I can't conquer this world if
no one is there to stop me..."
"Yeah, no points when there's no fun..."
Pit rolled his eyes as he collapsed to the ground. "Uh..."
"Mister Pit, are you okay?" Asked Flonne worried.
"negative." Aqua responded as Isaak came back with Shadow and Silver and
everyone else. "he has many broken bones and his wings won't be working for a
while. he needs to go back to Angel Land if he wants to heal faster."
"Uh...no time..."
"you're being stubborn. who throws themselves in front of an explosion?"
"Him."
"And who is...the brat...that thought attacking a Guardian...would get him to
make a pact...idiot..."
"well, at least you two have something in common." Aqua said in a monotone
voice. "you're both idiots."
Pit flipped the water angel off as a result. If Pit wasn't so angry with her,
he would have noticed a small smile crept up on her face.
"Anyways... Etna, call up the Prinnies, we're going back to Angel Land."
"That soon? I wanted to look up for some more weapons of mass destruction, but
if it's what you want..."
"Uh...Sonic..."
"He isn't here Pit." Eggman admitted as Isaak placed Tails on the floor still
sleeping. "He must have ran off to another planet. He has that potential to do
that. And knowing Samael, they're all gone off to other planets. You have to
save this one later."
"Uh...no...not..."
"Heard the man? You can't do much with broken bones anyways..."
Pit was very stubborn. He was willing to keep going even with these injuries.
Aqua rolled her eyes preparing to leave. Of course that was when she noticed
the computer was acting up.
"Doctor...the computer..."
"Huh…WHAT'S THIS?!"
"What's about it?"
That familiar laughter echoed throughout the ship. Everyone froze instantly.
Isaak just had to say it.
"Out all ze possible zings, zis is ze worse possible zing!"
"Oh, I'm wounded."
Eggman frowned. "Back already Samael? What do you want?"
Samael apparently took over the computer. He was in his human form and he was
clapping."Just wanted to say congratulations to the Captain who got the first
Guardian. You still got a long way to go? Hope it won't be too hard for you
with your crippled wings."
"Oh shut up." Pit muttered. "Is this all you want because I'm going back to
Angel Land now."
"Oh no. I have a very important announcement to make."
"What now...?"
Samael just laughed. It was better not to ask. The royal bodyguards heard a
familiar groan behind Samael and it was enough to get Pit to stand up despite
his injuries.
"Samael you bastard!"
Behind the man was a familiar angel with platinum wings tied up. The bandana he
wore around his head was used to bind his eyes preventing him from seeing.
"...Captain...Pit...I'm sorry...I...I..."
Samael just laughed. "Oh Pit, you need to watch the kids better, or they'll be
under my arms."
"You son of a bitch!"
"Captain, don't move!" Aqua snapped as he and Mcenche held him down.
"Oh, Pit, I'll give him back...if you give me the Guardian."
"W-What…"
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee the kid's safety. I heard he was an orphan and
that he has no one to return to so~"
"Poor thing!" said Flonne. "Captain, we have to save him!"
Don't you think I know that?! Pit thought to himself. His condition wasn't
going to let him go save Ginger. He didn't even know where he was being held.
Samael continued to giggle. "You have four hours to get him. Failure to give me
the Guardian by then and I might give you a wonderful gift."
"You wouldn't..."
"See you later~"
"Don't you fucking-"
He disappeared from he screen and Eggman had control of his computer again.
"... I say we totally ignore him and keep the Guardian." Purred Etna. "We need
it more than the other kid."
"agreed." Aqua suddenly said. "Ginger should have stayed home. instead he
wonders off and gets caught."
Isaak didn't like this one bit. "What ze hell Aqua! We can't leave him with zat
monster!"
"He's right! We can't give up on Ginger, he's counting on us!" Replied Flonne.
Mcenche and Saber were worried for the kid since they didn't trust Samael to
keep his promise. Laharl glanced at Pit whose expression he couldn't read.
"... You want to keep both, aren't you?"
"I'm not that..."
Pit couldn't think. He was too tired and worn out to do anything. He really
needed his rest, but he couldn't when one of his friends' life was on the line.
"... What to go fight him?"
Aqua ended up whacking Laharl on the head with her staff. Not like it hurt
though.
"only a stupid idiot can ask that to an injured person."
"Aqua..."
"you'll say yes but you can't even use the Wings of Icarus the way you are now.
we're leaving him and that's that."
"You're...not..."
"N-no! You can't leave him behind!" Flonne shouted not wanting to leave Ginger
alone with the villain.
"we don't know where he's being held. You can't expect us to go to Angel Land
and find him in four hours. we're not giving up the Guardian either."
"But...Ginger..." Pit tried to move again.
"Captain, know your limits."
The angel looked at the water angel with pleading eyes but Aqua was immune to
the stare.
"So... you're leaving him behind, after all..." Laharl commented, "and I
thought you were the kind to angel to go save his friend without thinking,
guess I was wrong."
The brunette could not retort the statement and remained silent.
"he can't fly." Aqua responded. "you expect him to save someone after he saved
your ass when you probably deserved to be blown up?"
"If he's as amazing as he pretends to..."
"She's right Laharl." Added Flonne. "If Captain Pit is injured because of you,
it's your responsibility to take his place and save Ginger! Captain Pit, "you
don't have to fight either. Please take some rest to recover and allow us to
rescue your friend along with your soldiers."
"..."
"…Don't you have a second in charge in case you can't fight?" The redhead
asked.
"I don't trust Sun-Wong...to do it..." Pit admitted. "He may...be second in
command...but he's not...a fighter..."
Pit made it seem like he didn't trust Sun-Wong when in reality, Sun-Wong would
be easy to brainwash due to his...crippling fears that could easily be
exploited.
"Don't you have anyone else then? How about the one who looks like you?"
"I'm not sending him..."
"Captain..."
"..."
"Then don't cry about your friend then. You obliviously can't go yourself, and
you don't want anyone to go. Sad, but your friend will pay for it."
"...do you understand...what would happen...if I sent anyone else...do you?"
"No, and to be honest, I don't care."
"...of course...you wouldn't know what it's like to lose people that are
family..."
It was Laharl's turn to not have anything to say to that statement. He wanted
to, but knew if he took the bait, it would make him come out as a hypocrite.
"Aqua...we need to go back to Angel Land..."
"Captain...you're going to leave...Ginger?" Isaak asked in disbelief.
"..."
"Captain!"
"Isaak...please stop talking..."
"!"
Saber and Mcenche ended up helping Pit up. "Eggman...we'll continue to
search...for the Chaos Emeralds...and Sonic's friends...so...if he attacks
again, give us the SOS..."
"Of course Captain...any news on him, I'll make sure to report."
"..."
The Prinnies gathered together as Aqua being the magic user was strong enough
to transport everyone to Angel Land. Shadow worried for the angel's mental
health, but there was not much he could do now. What the group had to do was
continue searching for Olivia and clear up the mess that is Mobius.

Chapter Summary
     Pit and the group are forced to return to Angel Land to attend to
     their wounds. In the meantime, the Overlord and his lackeys can make
     themselves at home if they can't go back to the Netherworld.
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
"I'll go back to the Netherworld." The Overlord declared once they were
teleported back to Skyworld. "Just call me back if you got something new about
that bastard Samael."
Given how the angels were quick with teleporting themselves back to Skyworld,
going back to the Netherworld should have been a breeze. Aqua disproved that
theory.
"not going to happen. Samael has a barrier preventing access back."
"When was this?!" Pit had to ask wanting to strangle the bastard even more.
"when you got Cyrax, he already got the barrier. it won't last
long...hopefully..."
"What? You mean we're stuck here?!"
"correct until further notice. should have saw this coming." Aqua mocked as she
forced Saber to haul Pit's ass toward the fourth division.
"Dammit!"
"oh, we've prepare rooms. You can just go to the tenth division and wait."
Mcenche and Isaak already went off to do their own things when Aqua dismissed
herself. They weren't going to give them a tour and get busted.
"... Is it just me, or they just leave without telling us where the tenth
division was...?" Etna had to lampshade.
"Well then, since they didn't tell us, I take it like we're allowed to do what
we want!" Declared the Prince.
And so the trio, along with the bunch of Prinnies, started to explore the
Palace, their first target being the kitchen. That was the eighth division.
Aqua made them start at the 7th and basically just going down a certain hallway
led to the eighth. The area was vastly different from the water division given
how the very blue area was now a fiery red the farther they went down. Loud
music blared through these hallways as if it were a rave in contrast to the
calming silence of the seventh.
"COME ON GIRLS! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE FOOD HOURS AGO!" They heard that
familiar obnoxious voice in the kitchen yelling at the cooks. "WHO ATE THE
COOKIES?!"
"Ah shut up..." One of the girl's snarked under her breath. She said it loud
enough though to wear the fire angel could hear it though.
"Ju-Shu, shut up and tell me where Arachne is! I bet it was her!"
"It wasn't..." The other sister articulated.
"Then who was it?!"
"Uh..."
"...Might and Nanael...oh those two will be fucked. I'M CALLING MY CHOCOBO!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The twins instantly ran out of the kitchen when she whistled for that bird
leaving the food unattended. Pepper sighed realizing that Chobi wasn't coming
this time. Whoever was with the yellow bird was probably keeping it tame by
feeding it.
"Gabriel of all the times to feed my Chocobo…Oh you kids!" Pepper exclaimed as
she made her way out of the kitchen. "Why are you here? Don't you live in the
Underworld?"
"We're stuck here..." simply said the red haired one.
"Out of my way!" Laharl ordered. "I'm starving and I want to eat!"
"Hey kid, you may be the Overlord, but this is my turf. You're going to respect
the lady or I will sick my Chocobo on you and no one survives an encounter with
him." She sighed. "Plus, the food isn't done yet anyway given that those two
jerks ended up eating the snacks..."
"Then hurry up and make us something."
"Don't rush perfection."
"Hurry!"
Pepper just pushed the three out of the kitchen. She then went to call
someone...but all the royal bodyguards were pre-occupied with something causing
her to groan in frustration.
"Serenade, I don't care if you have a music class, I want you cooking in here
now! You're not in my division? I don't give a shit! Hurry up before I tell
Captain Pit your secret."
Pepper left the kitchen unattended. "Well, you're going to have to wait. So I'm
going to go get my snacks from those jerks."
"Why won't you use Prinnies instead?" Etna asked.
"Huh? Why would I rely on demons?"
She didn't mean to sound racist with that statement but she was too busy
rushing off to another portion of the eighth division. In the end, the trio
ended up following her instead of staying in the kitchen with no food
apparently.
The eighth division seemed to be larger than the seventh...then again...Pepper
seemed to have more rooms than Aqua did. She stopped in front of a huge door.
She could hear different music and fumed.
"How...dare...they!"
"What now...?"
Pepper opened the huge door rather easily announcing. "NO ONE SHUFFLES WITHOUT
ME!"
Well...the cooks were in there. The ones assigned to kitchen duty. They were
eating all the cookies that were being given to them by a DJ angel with shaggy
clothes. His hair was a cool flavor of white with purple strokes. He was
wearing sunglasses and seemed unaffected that Pepper came in.
There was this huge screen in the middle. They were playing Just Dance 3.
Might, Nanael and someone else. Might was a young man with brown hair and blue
eyes who wore medieval clothing. Nanael was a girl with blue hair and blue
eyes. Her outfit looked near identical to Pit's except skimpier. She also stood
out with having one big wing and one small wing. And of course there was a
third girl who didn't have angel wings like everyone else. She had blonde hair
and gold eyes. She wore clothes that seemed to be woven by a spider. She had
the biggest cookie in her mouth while she was dancing, her breast giggling with
each step.
"Aw shit...it's Pepper..." Nanael cursed as she turned off the Wii. "What do
you want?"
"What do I want?! YOU ATE ALL THE FUCKING COOKIES!"
"S-Sorry..." Might apologized profusely. "We were hungry."
"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON WATCH DUTY! BOTH OF YOU!"
Both of them flinched when they saw her hand being on fire. They shouldn't have
eaten the white chocolate chip cookies.
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?!"
"Run." The DJ said with a laugh.
Oh they wasted no time. They just fucking ran.
"YEAH YOU BETTER BE AT YOUR POST OR CHOBI WILL MAKE SURE THAT BOTH OF YOU WILL
NEVER FORGET THIS!" She turned to all the other angels. "And what the fuck are
you girls doing?! You're supposed to be cooking with the sisters! Not drooling
at Ian's hotness or Arachne's sexiness!"
"We aren't lesbian Cap-"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
They rushed out before they pushed her buttons even more.
"Some party this is..." commented Laharl. "All the food is already gone..."
"Well, the ladies ate all the wonderful cooking." Ian teased as he winked at
Pepper causing her to get more upset.
"I WAS SAVING THAT!"
The blonde girl giggled as she went over to Pepper and patted her on the head.
"You'll just have the chefs make more like you usually do. No biggie."
"You took my best piece Arachne..."
"And it was good~"
"Who is she?" Wondered Flonne. "She doesn't look like an angel..."
"Oh her! She's my bestie Arachne! She's in the fifth division!"
Arachne grinned. "Oh other demons will be staying here too?! Finally I'm no
longer alone!"
"Others? You mean you're a demon too?"
"Of course. I love Skyworld!" She paused for a minute like she was going to
take it back instantly. "No...that's not right...I'm kind of here by
force...but I like it here none the less..."
"Huh? I thought you loved Angel Land."
"You threatened to burn me alive Pepper..." She mumbled. "And I hate fire..."
"Ah, we're not really different then." smiled Etna. "We're not here because we
want to be."
"She likes it here though." Ian purred as he snuck up behind her. "It's not as
bad as she thinks it is after a while."
"No touchie!" Pepper yelled as she slapped his hand away from Arachne. "She's
my best friend."
"One you threaten a lot."
"But still a best friend."
Arachne chuckled nervously. "The angels here...aren't any different from you
demons..."
"It depends, I guess..."
"Nope the same."
"So...about the cookies...do you have at least one?"
"Yeah...if Ian didn't eat them all..."
"So are you going to make food or what?" Laharl asked, starting to get angry
being ignored and his tummy rumbling to add insult.
"Ah kid, there is some leftovers." Ian teased as he held up a bowl full of
cookies. "Pepper made twelve dozen."
"And why are eleven dozen gone?!"
There was a pregnant pause with Arachne looking off into the distant while Ian
was tempted to put his sunglasses back on so the blush that came on his face
wouldn't be that obvious.
"Sheesh, even I can't eat that much without being sick..."
"And the Prince is quite a sugar lover~ "
"Well, there were a lot of people here." Arachne said with a nervous chuckle.
"Dig in...before I eat the rest."
"Oh no you won't!"
And the Prince shoved her away resulting in Ian instantly pushed him away, his
demeanor instantly changing.
"You do not push a lady! You hear?! If you do that again, there will be no
food!"
As a response, he pushed him too refusing to go of the bowl of cookies. Ian
puffed his cheeks in frustration but didn't bother to push him a second time.
"Sheesh, he's such a brat." Arachne said with a sigh. "I'm trying to think who
is a brat here..."
"The Skull Trio?"
"Yeah them."
"Well... the Prince is still a kid, after all." Etna mocked.
"But I heard he was the Overlord. At this rate Samael might..." She paused
realizing something and shut her mouth.
"Huh? He might what?" asked Flonne.
"What? I didn't say anything."
"Hey Arachne, where's the Captain?" Pepper had to ask.
"What are you talking about? He was on that mission and he came back just now
if these guys are here."
"Oh yeah...I mean..."
"I heard Aqua dragged him to Himeno. They're not happy."
"Oh! I want to see Himeno get mad!" Pepper exclaimed as she took the bowl with
the rest of the cookies just when Laharl was going to reach for another one.
"I'm going now!"
And she dashed off with said cookies.
"Darn it! Come back here!"
He ended up chasing her but she ended up stopping though. She wasn't pleased
that another angel was walking down her hall that wasn't a royal bodyguard.
Laharl ended up snatching the bowl from her not realizing he was making a
scene.
"What do you want...Arcadia?" Pepper asked.
"I thought you were doing your job. I see you're hanging around these
despicable demons so I guess not."
"Say that again? Who are you calling despicable?"
The women known as Arcadia folded her arms. She was a tall angelic woman with
long black hair and cold grey eyes. She wore a Japanese kimono around her that
defined purity in terms of shrine maidens. She carried a sword in her hitch as
she stared down at the demon prince.
"They have no manners either."
"I would appreciate it if you could leave Arcadia. I was going to see the
Captain."
"What's the point? He's a failure anyway. Had to come back so fast because he's
reckless. Not fit to be a Captain at all."
"...What." Pepper's demeanor changed at the insult of her Captain.
"Only one Guardian and he end up critically injured. This is pathetic. If it
were me, I wouldn't even break a sweat."
"...I bet you wouldn't..."
"Makes me wonder why he was stupid enough to jump into an explosion unless he
was suicidal."
"...You fucking bitch." Was all Pepper said as he fists were starting to catch
on fire.
"Why won't you go get the other ones if you're so confident?"
"It's not my job." She said in a mocking tone.
"It's not your job." Pepper repeated in a mocking tone. "Fuck you and get out
of this division. I'm going to see the Captain you heartless bitch!"
"Uh huh...you're all the same. I think he shouldn't return to that world
especially since that hedgehog probably killed himself anyway."
"SONIC WOULD NEVER!"
"Ta-ta~"
She continued walking. Chances were Saber was her next victim...if she was
there anyway.
"Fucking bitch..." Pepper cursed, as she was this close to punched the walls
with her flaming fists. "The Captain doesn't need to hear shit like that."
"..."
"The Captain will be happy to see me. I make him smile!"
"Yeah, you do that... now give me the cookies."
"You already have them though."
"Then go make more!"
"I can't at the moment. I told everyone else to do it. Captain Pit Food."
"... Let's go see him then."
Pepper wasted no time dragging Laharl by the scarf and rushing over to the
fourth division at high speed.
===============================================================================
The two could hear Pit crying out in pain as he was being treated. Laharl would
have called him a sissy but then he remembered that these angels weren't all
that angelic and maybe the reason he didn't want to be treated was because they
were rough on their patients.
And it was true. Himeno was pulling on his wings trying to snap them back
together. Pit had to bury his head into the pillow to stop himself from crying
out in pain. Aqua was joining every moment of this. There was another girl
right next to Aqua. She also wore a white kimono and it was similar to that
bitchy angel. She had long hair tied up in an old Japanese tradition and had
gold eyes. She had this mature, mysterious aura around her to the point she
didn't seem like she was an angel either...but definitely not a demon. Perhaps
a half demon or half angel?
"Oh Pit, you're such a sissy!" Pepper ended up beating Laharl to it.
"Shut...up..."
"Captain...I told you to be careful." Himeno told him in a soft tone. It
contradicted her harsh movements. "The only way to fix broken wings is to pull
them back into place."
"Why...aren't you giving me...pain killers?"
"because it's more fun this way." Aqua said in a rather joking manner. "this
will teach you not to throw yourself in front of explosions."
"Not...my...fault...!"
Pepper turned to Laharl. "Future notice, if you get injured badly, you'll be
treated the same way."
"... Don't worry... after seeing this, I'm not planning to get injured anytime
soon..."
"then don't let the Captain end up in the same situation again." Aqua said
simply.
"Hey...so did Arcadia...come here to insult you?" Pepper asked.
Pit hoisted his head up. "Wait? There was someone here? I was wondering who was
blabbering but I couldn't hear anything with the treatment Himeno was giving
me..."
"in other words, the pain allowed him to drown her out." Aqua said simply.
"Himeno, you are good."
"W-What?" Himeno wondered confused as she stopped pulling on his wings. "She
was here...she said mean things, and stormed off...was it something we did?"
"That's normal." The women next to Aqua stated. "Don't think about it too much
or she'll give you a headache."
"she mentioned something about suicide though."
Pit just rested his head against the pillow. Even though he was in pain, he
heard her mention that Sonic probably killed himself.
"…You guys... you... you don't use Prinnies, right? Y-You probably don't know
about them then..."
"They are the spirits that are trapped inside penguin bodies as punishment for
their crimes in their previous life." The women next to Aqua explained.
Pepper looked confused. "Wait...what?"
"When a human soul dies, the Angel Assembly...and sometimes the royal
bodyguards get to decide if these people become an angel or thrown into the
depths of hell where the soul struggles to either become a Prinny or get eaten
by the God of the Underworld and their monsters." She sighed. "Isaak is worse
than the assembly though. He basically says if you don't have money, you can't
make it into Angel Land."
"doesn't matter. you have no money when you die. chances are you'll be thrown
into hell as a result."
"Mainly sinners end up becoming a Prinny... Well... I could have done this
myself but, I'm trapped here so... Pit, if you want, I can ask someone in the
Netherworld if there's a Prinny newly arrived called Sonic, since...
well...suicide is a sin of violence against your own person..."
"!" Himeno stopped treating Pit as he sat up. "...Girls...can you leave for a
bit?"
"But Captain..."
"It'll only be a few minutes."
The girls looked at each other. The woman next to Aqua accepted her Captain's
orders and excused herself. The other royal bodyguards followed afterward.
"..."
"... Do I have to take that as a yes?"
"...I know Sonic well...he wouldn't kill himself. Even with these mind-
games...that isn't an option..."
"... I can always check on that just in case..."
"...Thanks...I really appreciate it..."
"Don't mention it. It's for doing a good job as my shield."
"I'm not doing that again...though...my wings...god..."
"…Take a good rest... you need it."
To his surprise, Pit smiled rather softly for a moment...before turning back
into a frown. "I can't. I have to save Ginger..."
"Do as you like." He shrugged. "It'll be too bad if you end up dead because you
were too tired."
"...There isn't that much time...and I don't want any of the royal bodyguards
to go...because if they fail..."
"... You really do have confidence in your vassals..." He stated with a
sarcastic tone.
"They're not my vassals. They're my friends...and my family." Pit corrected. "I
can't send them off to battle against Samael knowing that he'll use their
weakness against them like he did with Sonic."
"Oh, and if you go instead, Samael will not use your weakness against you?"
"If he knew my weakness, he would have used it already...and it's not
Sonic...going after Sonic just pisses me off..."
"And what makes you so sure that he knows about your friends' weakness?"
Pit didn't respond with that one.
"…You're still thinking about doing it yourself, huh?"
Pit nodded his head slowly. "I know Himeno is taking her time on purpose so I
don't go but..."
"... Do you have mushrooms in your kitchen?" he asked. While Pit looked at him
confused, Laharl blushed and looked away. "They make me sick... a lot... if I
eat some, you can escape while she's taking care of me..."
Pit chuckled. "That's not going to happen. Pepper hates mushrooms as well. She
said they looked like Toads so she won't let them in any of our food and if she
sees it, she'll punish the cook that put it in."
He shrugged. "Someone will be yelled at. It'll be a worthy sacrifice..."
"That won't be needed."
"Kaguju!"
Pit instantly looked up to see Kaguju barging into the hospital room caring
Ginger in his arms. He covered him with the teen's cape that he always wore
around him and for good reasons. Ginger looked beaten and bruised badly...and
unlike Pit whose wings could easily be snapped into place, it looked like
Samael almost ripped his wings off of him. The bandana around his eyes wasn't
there anymore that made him look "heroic".
"GINGER!"
Pit tried to move but he was still injured and only flinched from the pain.
Kaguju turned to the girls who were watching him come in. "Himeno, I think we
know who the one that really needs to be treated is."
"Y-Yes..."
"...How..."
"Pit." Kaguju began in a dead serious tone. He usually called Pit, Tip as a
recurring insult but not this time. "He wasn't going to keep his promise. The
world he was staying in had time go faster, so unless you made the decision
right then and there, this wouldn't have had happened to him."
"W-What…?"
"I told myself that I wasn't going to interfere in this battle, but I despise
those who break their promises in hostage situations."
"... Will... will he be okay?"
They wouldn't respond immediately. Kaguju allowed Himeno to remove the cape
from Ginger's body to see what she was up against. She felt the blood in her
veins stop pumping when she saw how bad Ginger's scars were.
"W...Wha...Wha..."
She hated blood; hated it so much that she wished sometimes that the angels
wouldn't get so injured that they drew it. Kaguju obviously tried his best to
stop the bleeding but Ginger was still bleeding profusely. The poor platinum
angel was getting paler by the minute and while it was obvious that Kaguju was
trying to hide it, he feared that Ginger might not make it.
"...That...bastard..." Pit muttered darkly.
Ginger slowly opened his eyes weakly and saw his Captain. He tried his best to
give his usual arrogant smile. "C...Cap...tain..."
"Don't talk Ginger. You're injured." Pit told him. It came off as hypocritical
given his own condition.
"So...rry..." He apologized weakly. "I...you...were...sad...so I thought...I
could...make...you...happy…beating him...no match for...him...he's...po..."
"Ginger please!"
Aqua and Pepper were already preparing another room that looked to be similar
to the room in the human world where humans operated on. There were other
angels that were going in there to get ready for the surgery that was going to
be needed.
"...Don't..."
Even though it probably wasn't a good idea, Kaguju allowed Pit to embrace the
poor teenage angel. Pit was shivering. Feeling many emotions from fear, hate
and anger, Himeno feared her Captain would crush him.
"...I'm sorry Ginger...it's my fault this happened to you...if only I was a
better Captain...you wouldn't..."
To Laharl's surprise, he could hear the angel Captain sobbing. He thought Sonic
would make him cry but this was something completely different. He could feel
the feeling of uselessness radiating through the Captain as he continued to
cry. Ginger continued to smile weakly as he embraced him.
"D...on't...cry..."
"I'm sorry...I'm so..."
"Himeno, you got to take him now." Kaguju told her. "Otherwise, he's not going
to make it."
"U-Understood."
Kaguju had to get Pit to release Ginger and hand him over to Himeno. Ginger was
probably lighter than Rita, which said something.
"Himeno...save him." Kaguju told her in a firm, serious tone.
A blazing fire lit inside Himeno's eyes as she nodded her head as she quickly
rushed over to the surgery room. Aqua closed the door behind them.
"..."
"...He'll make it Captain." Kaguju assured him. "He's strong."
"... Looks like my help won't be needed, after all..." he shrugged. "Good thing
for me."
"..."
"... I'll go now... try to rest, Shield."
Pit didn't respond resulting in Kaguju just waving the demon prince off since
he wasn't done talking to the Captain. Knowing that whatever he said would
probably make things worse, Laharl complied with Kaguju's decision and left the
room but stayed by the door to hear the upcoming conversation.
Kaguju suspected that he would be listening in on the conversation, but it
didn't matter. He awkwardly patted Pit's head as he was not good at showing
affection at all.
"We were all at fault for taking our eyes off him." Kaguju explained. "We told
him to go help Rita with the cleaning and we all just assumed that he went to
do his own thing...we didn't actually think he would go find Samael and
challenge him to a battle..."
"..."
"Samael is powerful. We all know that. However, we cannot fight him alone, so
if you even think of trying to take him on when you recover, you'll be
disappointed with the results."
"..."
"So don't do anything stupid when you're getting the Guardians either. They're
only going to get harder from here especially since Samael is going to multiple
worlds, messing them all up to what he sees fits until the Guardian in that
world comes out."
"...When my wings get better." Pit began suddenly, "I'll get everyone to search
for them immediately...I know it would be much quicker if I send two per
Guardian but..."
"I understand you don't want Samael attacking them when you least expect it.
You should know this family is strong and you should know that his mind games
won't work on a selected few, you included."
"...And that's probably why it hurts more when he goes after everyone else..."
Kaguju sighed. "I think if things get rough, you should contact Michiko and
Kaito. That way, you can have easier access to the Smashers."
"Huh?"
The Smashers? The demon Prince thought. As expected, he was listening.
"...I'm done with them Kaguju." Pit replied rather darkly. "After what I did,
they don't want to see me."
"And yet, you still want to save Sonic who is also a Smasher."
"...But that's because he and Ash are my best friends..."
"And Ike."
Pit instantly glared at Kaguju. Laharl wasn't in the room, so he wouldn't be
able to see Pit's expression.
"Anyway, I have a suspicion that some of the Guardians are going to end up in
their world anyway. Plus, these Smashers defeated Tabuu with you. I mean-"
"We got our ass whooped when we first saw him." Pit corrected him admiringly.
"And if it weren't for Sonic, we would have lost."
"Uh-huh, but you guys still pulled off an amazing feat, which is why you need
to contact them as soon as you recover."
"..." Pit let out a huge sigh. "I don't have a choice do I?"
"Nope." Kaguju smirked. "When you get better, Pepper will probably force you to
do a few practice rounds in the training room. You know that she kept that
stimulator in case you ever got back into Smash Brothers."
The voices got lower after the suggestion of the Smashers. It got to the point
where Laharl would need to peak into the doorway to hear, but he slowly started
to walk away from the door.
…Looks like they're done...
The conversation might not have been done, but they might be whispering now,
but it didn't matter anymore. He got enough information that Kaguju spat out
since he seemed to be the type that hid everything even from his superiors.
He realized that he left Etna and Flonne when he chased after Pepper. He was
hungry again and she never did give him the food she asked for. Not like he
could do anything now except head back to the tenth division like Aqua advised
the trio to do when they first arrived.
"Come on Wright, you need to hand it over!" He heard a pompous voice shout. "We
all know you took it from us."
"I-I didn't..."
"Liar!" Another angel shouted. "You're always claiming that humans steal your
shit when you do the exact same thing!"
"...I'm sorry but I seriously..."
Laharl ended up walking in the direction to see two angels harassing another
angel. One was a tall blonde girl with a huge bust while the other one had
short spiky orange hair. They were harassing the angel that didn't seem to be
part of the royal bodyguards with green hair. In comparison to the other two,
she was plain. Very plain...
The orange haired girl knocked her down to the ground and took one of the books
that she had. "Aw, the lawyer book again Wright? Or should I say Wrong?"
"Give it back!"
She handed the book over to the other girl who just laughed at it. "Or Wrong,
you'll never going to be a lawyer with your status. Not only are you
unattractive but you're too dumb and naive to be a lawyer."
"That's..."
The two just laughed as the blonde girl dropped the book and stomped on it with
her high heels.
"N-No!"
The two girls just laughed as the orange haired angel stepped on Wright's hand
when she reached out to get it.
"That will teach you not to mess with us."
"..."
The two girls continued laughing as they walked off in the opposite direction
leaving the injured angel behind. Wright glared at them as she tried to gather
her things. Why weren't there any witnesses again?
"…Are you alright?" 
She shrieked as she tried her best to hurry her things thinking no one saw
that. Now she wished that wasn't the case.
He walked over, picking up one of the books she dropped. "Here." he said,
handing it over.
"T-Thank you..."
"Don't say it." he growled back. "That place makes me nicer... I hate it..."
Wright was confused. "Huh?" She didn't seem to realize that he was a demon yet.
"...What was with them?" He suddenly asked trying to change the subject.
"I'm used to it." She responded with a sigh. "They're part of the Angel
Assembly. They attack anyone that is part of the division or associated with
the royal bodyguards..."
"The Angel Assembly? You mean like the Dark Assembly? Interesting..."
"Wait...you're a demon?!" She finally seemed to grasp who she was talking too.
Were her glasses on the right way?
"I'm not any random demon. I'm Laharl, the greatest Overlord of the
Netherworld."
She adjusted her glasses as she examined the prince. "But...you're only...a
kid..."
"So? I'm still the most powerful demon in the Netherworld."
"But still a kid...what is the universe coming to..."
"Well it's not my fault if my old man died because of a black pretzel. Like I'd
let anyone else than me take the throne."
Wright just shook her head. "So the demon world isn't any different from here
after all..."
"Different from here?" He wondered. "…Well…after seeing those two earlier, I
kind of understand why..."
He shrugged. "But I'm sure here, bribing the Senate is not legal... It is in
the Netherworld as long you're not getting caught."
She looked horrified. "N-No! If you're caught bribing, you'll be banished or
executed or worse..." She finished collecting all of her books and stood up.
"The Angel Assembly is nasty...no one sides with the Captain even when he means
well for all of us and speaks for Lady Palutena..."
"... What's the point to be in authority if no one respects you at all?"
"The Angel Assembly claims that even though they respect Palutena, they say
that if they let the royal bodyguards do what they want, then they'll ruin the
tradition of Angel Land and lead it to ruin..." She sighed. "I think it's
hypocritical and I commented on that during one of their meetings I
attended...and that's why those girls are always beating me up..."
"... You should beat them back."
"T-That's horrible!" Wright exclaimed. "Plus...I'm a writer...not a fighter..."
"Maybe, but if you don't defend yourself, they'll keep coming back at you."
She continued to frown. "But...if you hit someone of high authority, you could
get busted too..."
"Keep being attacked then."
She sighed. That was all that was going to happen unless she was near one of
the royal bodyguards. "I don't have any choice..." She gave a small bow.
"Thanks again though..."
She was about to walk away...
"Don't let them do whatever they like with you." He told her. "You're a bright
one, aren't you? Use justice against them since you are studying it."
She stopped, stunned that someone was encouraging her to do justice...and it
wasn't an angel.
"... I need to go to area ten, I think... Bring me there."
"Little Rita division...it's not far from here...so..."
She only allowed Laharl to come with him in case those two bullies came back to
harass her. Having a demon wouldn't be so bad if he treated her better than
them.
"..."
She was expecting him to keep up with her since if she stopped now, she would
drop all of her books again. She prayed that the Skull Trio wouldn't knock her
down again.
The Overlord let out a small yawn as he started to complain again."... Are we
there yet? I'm hungry... and tired..."
"Almost there..."
And just as expected, those three kids came from out of the corner and did a
scare test on her.
"Boo."
"AHHHHH!"
She flew all of her books in the air. The Skull Trio just laughed and scurried
off. Laharl was taken by surprise by the green haired girl's scream than the
pathetic scare test those three little boys made.
"Those…kids…my books..."
"Hey!"
There was another kid heading their way. She looked to be Laharl's age and
slightly taller. She had light orange hair that was tied up and huge eyes.
"Do you know where those three went?" She asked.
"They went over there." The Overlord answered pointing in the direction the
trio fled.
"Thank you."
"Stella...are you going...to help..."
She already dashed off. You could hear magic clashing in the background. Wright
was ready to cry. "Why do all the kids do this to me?!"
"You're a wimp, that's why. Look at you, you're whining because kids are making
fun of you."
"But they're mean to everyone..."
"So what?"
"Uh..."
"Show them whose boss here, dammit. It's a direct order from the Overlord!"
She stared at him dumbfounded.
"Um...Wright...are you okay?"
Wright instantly jumped up and rushed over to the new voice. He seemed to also
be Laharl's age. He had sea green (or is it forest green) hair and gold eyes.
He was the only angel that wore a robe instead of the flashy tunic.
"Rita! Why can't you tell those three to stop picking on me!" She whined.
Rita's cheerful expression turned into something of utter horror as his eyes
were ready to leak a salty liquid. "Because even though I'm the leader of this
division, they pick on me too."
"….Are you serious...?"
Rita looked ashamed of himself before he perked back up. "But I know one day
when Captain Pit allows me to go on missions that we'll all be able to get
along!"
"That's the spirit!"
Wright's spirits also went back up as she quickly collected her books before
turning to Laharl. "Well, this is the tenth division. It looks plain now since
it's finally finished being built and all~"
"As long there's a nice coffin for me, I'm fine."
Rita looked confused. "Why would there be a coffin?"
"I sleep in a coffin."
Rita did not seem to register that. In fact, it bounced over his head. "We
don't have coffins, but we have beds."
"That has to be expected... angels usually don't sleep in coffins..."
"And there are soft ones too."
"... I'll try one... but if I get a bad night, I'll blame you for it."
"It won't be a problem."
"Great. Tell that cook angel to bring food in my room then."
"But...she just told me over the phone...that she was busy...with Ginger..."
"I don't care."
"W-Wha…?"
He waved him off. "C'mon, obey orders."
"But...but..."
"Obey my damn order!"
To his irritation, Rita got all teary eyed and ran off. He sighed realizing
that yelling at certain people wasn't going to cut it.
===============================================================================
A few days passed since then. The trio of demons, along with the Prinnies, made
themselves comfortable in Angel Land. Annoying most of the angels, Laharl was
ordering the others around like if they were his own personal servants. The
fact that Lamington with a smile on his face reminded them they should always
make their host feel comfortable wasn't helping the angels' mood at all.
Of course this is directly after the healing process. The girls managed to save
Ginger but he needed to be bedridden or he wouldn't be able to recover, so his
vice-captain Faith Destiny of the eleventh division took over temporary.
Now most of the royal bodyguards were pissed, but some of them didn't care.
Pepper for example didn't listen to him at all. She basically let her division
suffer...and of course she bonded with Flonne who was an otaku like her. She
led her to her room in the eighth division...since a lot of angels couldn't go
into her room given that they weren't on Pepper's good side.
Out of all the angels, it was Rita that got bossed around the most and he had
to obey given he was the kid. Pretty soon, it got to the point where everyone
dumped it on Rita and the tenth division given that Laharl found out that the
tenth division was known as the Cleaning Division that did all the chores.
Laharl wanted Pit to help him, but given what happened, he wasn't in the best
of moods to do anything. And even after his wings recovered in a span of three
days (which was insane to most angels and demons), his mood dampened and he had
the Angel Assembly to blame. They would NOT let him off the hook with allowing
the trio of demons to stay in Angel Land. They bitched and whined and it got to
the point where Pit basically said, "Fuck it!" and let Kaguju and Aqua handle
them.
But something else was bothering Pit too. Laharl assumed that it had to do with
the Smashers, but it seemed to be something else entirely. Due to his natural
curiosity, Laharl was indeed deeply interested in those Smashers they kept
talking about. Now and then, he would spy on Pit, hoping he would get more info
about them.
Today was no exception since Pit didn't go to the meeting. He seemed to be
prancing around going to the fifth, sixth and ninth division asking for
something and despite being the Captain, they all rejected him. Isaak laughed
at Pit and Li wasn't pleased that Pit even asked Isaak. And of course, Saber's
response was, "Do it yourself" causing the white angel to blush furiously. Pit
at this rate would have to go to the second division to ask an angel called
Fuyumi for a potion. He seemed to be really secretive about it especially given
that the Angel Assembly was on his ass.
A potion...?
Pit headed toward the second division but had to stop. He kept clutching his
stomach...or that's what Laharl saw and assumed he was still injured from
getting the first Guardian (who was having a blast in the sixth division with
Isaak and his vise captain Maggie.)
"Uh...can't..."
Pit had decency though and apparently held whatever was making him in pain. Of
course, he ended up collapsing to his knees.
"Dammit...I knew it was this bad...but..."
"?!"
"Uh..."
The demon Prince got out of his hiding spot and went to the Captain's help.
Pit seemed to notice someone approaching and he tried to play it off like
nothing was wrong, but when he saw it was Laharl, his expression darkened.
"What...do you want...?"
"Wha- y-you're dying in the middle of the hallway!"
"I'm...not dying...you...need...to go...uh...if anyone sees me...fuck..."
"Is this your injuries again?"
"No...it's not...uh...go away..."
Not appreciating being rejected for his "kindness", Laharl grabbed Pit's ankle
and dragged him away. Pit freaked out. Moving his leg was not a good thing.
"Don't dammit...you're...doing this on purpose...uh...ah..."
"Shut up, Shield."
They were going farther from the second division. When they turned the corner,
Pit grabbed onto the side of the wall and wouldn't let go.
"Stop...fuck..."
"Don't be an idiot. You're in pain!"
Pit couldn't take it anymore. To Laharl's surprise, the angel knocked him to
the floor getting on top of him.
"Dammit...you're doing this on purpose..." He repeated rather darkly.
"H-hey! Get off!"
"If you didn't seduce me...then you wouldn't be in this situation..."
"... Wh... what? Wh-when did I...?"
He didn't even get to finish his sentence and Pit leaned down and forced his
tongue into Laharl's mouth when he was still talking. The demon prince was
taken aback by this action as he didn't see it coming.
It took him a moment, before he started to push him away, but Pit suddenly was
a lot stronger and forceful for someone who was sick and injured. He broke the
kiss and started to rub his hand over the Overlord's stomach. No one has ever
touched him like this before and it freaked him out.
"S-stop! L-let me go!"
Pit didn't seem to hear him as he kept going. He wanted to go further...wanted
to get in his pants and release himself. When Pit nibbled on his shoulder, a
noise that Laharl have never heard of before came out of his mouth.
A high pitched, squeaky sound came out of his mouth. As soon he heard it,
Laharl blushed madly and covered his mouth. Pit almost kept going, but then
stopped realizing what he had just done. The lustful look in his eyes
disappeared and replaced with horror.
"S-Shit!"
He instantly backed off of Laharl. "S-Sorry!" He then looked around to make
sure anyone wasn't there before he rushed off in the direction he came from
without helping the prince out, leaving him in a state of confusion.
He remained there, his had still on his mouth, not sure at all about what
happened. It took him a minute or took before he finally stood up. How dare an
angel tried to violate the great Overlord, he thought. Embarrassed, the prince
was more than ready to find the Captain and beat the crap out of him.
Pit was already at the second division alchemy room. A tall busty angel with
white hair and brown eyes named Fuyumi looked up from her alchemy book and
frowned. "Captain, what happened this time?"
"I-It doesn't matter. Just give me the potion! I need to go to the human
world now."
Fuyumi sighed as she pointed in the direction of the potion. Pit quickly
grabbed a bottle and drank it. When he did, the wings on his back disappeared
and he felt his angelic powers as well as the pain that his wings suffered a
few days ago disappear.
"Thanks Fuyumi."
"Don't get caught, or it's your funeral."
"Y-Yeah...see ya..."
There was a teleporter in every division to the human world. Of course, Fuyumi
had one in the alchemy room since angels tend to take a human appearance in
this room anyway. Sneaking into the alchemy room, Laharl snatched one of those
potions and rushed to the portal, passing through it as well, but not before
taking a shirt nearby of course. Fuyumi paid little attention to him as she
continued reading.
Chapter End Notes
     Me: TBC with 8372 words. Notes!
     Nanael is from the Queen's Blade series. For those who don't know,
     that's a borderline hentai series that is female dominated with
     fanservice. Because Nanael is an angel, her Heaven is connected with
     Celestia and Angel Land. Nanael ironically has Pit's personality and
     it works to her disadvantage as she's always punished for being cocky
     an un-angel like never mind that all the angels have proven to be
     hypocrites. Nanael does get her own arc in future chapters that
     reflect on my intake of her treatment and how she would retaliate.
     Now though, she's working under Pepper who allows Nanael to be
     herself.
     Might is one of my OCs who works under Pepper. He's the ONLY guy in
     the eighth division that is a female dominated division. And no there
     is nothing wrong with a female only division being the cooking
     division. Cooking goes for both genders and in Greek mythology, you
     don't see woman in the kitchen. He's pretty much a normal guy around
     18 in human years.
     Ian is one of my favorite OCs I created. If you want a better image
     of what Ian looks like, think of Joshua from The World Ends with You.
     Ian is friends with Pepper, Wright and another angel named Vitus and
     works in Angel Land as a DJ. It's to be noted that he has a high
     ranking brother that won't be brought up until way later. For now he
     seems normal but as time goes on, you'll notice that he's way off.
     He's around 18 in human years.
     Arachne as you know is from Fallen Angel. The spider demon is now a
     member of the fifth division royal bodyguards (which is a shout out
     to how she works with Li in Fallen Angel). She's still Pepper's
     friend despite the reference of Pepper threatening to burn her.
     Arcadia…hoo boy…she's a bitch obviously and she's aiming for the
     judge position of the Angel Assembly. She's Mcenche's vice captain
     and his fiancé (not by choice as this is an arranged marriage they're
     in.) Arcadia is a very bitter woman who looks down on demons and
     angels who she deems inferior (which is everyone). She has a younger
     sister named Layla (who will be brought up later). Arcadia's role now
     is just antagonism toward Pit before she switches it toward a certain
     Dark Hero.
     Wright as you can tell is probably the closest to a gender bender
     Phoenix Wright in terms of occupation but appearance, she's closest
     to Natsumi from Negima. She's an obvious doormat except when she's in
     the courtroom. Her arc is the next one so her meeting with Laharl
     serves as them becoming good friends. Wright is often harassed by
     Friday and Darcy (the two Angel Assembly members) because she's just
     an easy target. She cries easily when things don't go well and Ian
     often cheers her up.
     The Skull Trio…they won't have a big role but they serve as younger
     bullies toward Rita and not as cruel as Friday and Darcy are. I'll
     bring up their names when it's actually important. The same with
     Stella who is Rita's vice-captain and keeps them under rap.
     And anyone wondering why Pit is all horny, it's because of stress.
     The Angel Assembly stressed him out that he really needed to go
     somewhere and relieve himself. Everyone rejected him because they
     don't want to get caught at a time like this. (Well Li was pissed
     with Pit suggesting it to Isaak and Saber doesn't have time).
***** Trial Arc I *****
Chapter Summary
     Things apparently didn't go well in the human world and now Laharl is
     accused of attempted murder. The only one who can apparently defend
     him is Wright, but she's not brimming with confidence. Etna and
     Flonne tag along to support her (and to get their Prince out of
     trouble).
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
"I can't believe it..." Etna grumbled to Flonne as they walked down the hallway
of the Goddess Temple. "Barely one week here and the Prince is accused of a
murder attempt."
"I'm surprised he waited so long..." Commented the fallen angel.
They should have expected much of Angel Land though. The Angel Assembly was
nasty in comparison to the angels in Celestia. Everyone else was fine with them
though especially Pepper. She welcomed them with open arms and treated them
well to the point that they wouldn't have to boss her around...and if they did,
she wasn't going to take it. Apparently Laharl had the hardest time fitting in.
Then again, this might be because his antiques were different from theirs. And
of course, one week was all that was needed for the Angel Assembly to accuse
him.
They both had a problem with this. Knowing their prince would try to kill
someone is one thing, but the trio swore in front of Palutena that wouldn't
happen...given that they couldn't say no to her face since she was the Goddess.
The two went to the first division to complain. They overheard Pit talking with
the Goddess, Abbigale and someone else. Etna being Etna stormed in on their
conversation.
"Such rudeness..." Abbigale muttered. "Must you treat the Goddess with
disrespect?
"After what you did with our Prince?" The redhead retorted. "Bumping into a
conversation is nothing."
"Now now, everyone calm down please." Lamington stated with a peaceful smile.
"Ahh, the Seraph!" Flonne exclaimed as she immediately bowed in his presence.
The Seraphim turned to the Goddess. "I am deeply sorry about this event. I feel
responsible since I am the one who suggested you to make contact with young
Laharl. But I know this young one since he's on the throne, which makes ten
years. I know there must be a reason why, but the thing is, he won't talk."
Palutena frowned. "I'm certain he has a reason...but..."
Pit let out a huge sigh. "Abbigale, are you sure none of us royal bodyguards
can defend?"
"Negative Pit." She told him harshly. "The Angel Assembly is accusing you royal
bodyguards for the attack and the only way they can do it is with the Overlord.
Lady Palutena cannot have a saying in it because they accuse her of being
bias."
"No respect for their own Goddess I see…" Etna snarked.
"While I may be the Judge, if you do not have the evidence to back up the
Overlord, then I will have to punish him by their rules."
"Uh..." Pit sighed. "Wright is taking forever. She needs to hear this..."
"What…what will happen to Laharl if he's found guilty?"
"They'll kill him." Abbigale said simply. "Arcadia will probably do the deed."
Pit's expression darkened. "We already have Samael to deal with. We don't have
time making more enemies and getting into a pointless war with you demons..."
"You bet." Etna said. "If you kill the Prince, the peace treaty is over."
"That shouldn't happen..." The Seraph responded. "Samael may take this
opportunity to attack both of our nations meanwhile..."
Pit growled. "I hope you two know that we had no intention of this happening
and what the Angel Assembly does is what is against us royal bodyguards."
"Are they that stupid or are they thinking short term?" Etna questioned. The
more she heard about the Angel Assembly, the more she disliked them.
"Nothing matters to them as long they get me fired." Pit mumbled. "They all
hate me just because I'm the youngest Captain and won't listen to their absurd
suggestions of how to order my subordinates around. I'm not their puppet and
I'm not going to let them keep the angel tradition when we need to move on."
There was probably more to the statement than "I'm the youngest Captain." If
one were to look at Pit, he was nothing special compared to the other angels
introduced. It probably had more to do with his status and the fact he was a
handicapped angel who couldn't fly instead of his age. If age were an issue,
then most of the Angel Assembly wouldn't be hiring teenagers turned adults into
their rankings.
"So they don't care about having the whole Netherworld as their enemy as long
as they're able to fire you."
"That sums it up." Pit said with a sigh. "Corrupt aren't they?"
"Maybe, but why they're acting like that is not our problem." Lamington added.
"Pit, could you send that young lawyer to see Laharl?"
"Yeah. I told Isaak to escort her to the brat." He frowned. "I don't want them
harassing her again."
He nodded. "I want to be sure Laharl's case will get justice. But in Celestia's
name, know that we side with the Overlord this time."
Palutena nodded her head in agreement. "Yet...I cannot voice this opinion...for
them to think I am not corrupted by demons...or Medusa's magic..."
"Yes, I will help the young lawyer if she needs to..." He then turned to the
two demon girls. "Why won't you assist her?"
"H-huh? Us?"
Pit smirked. "The fact that she's often bullied by said Assembly, it would be
in your best interest to help her. She really needs all the help she can get."
"Oh, we'll help of course!" The fallen angel responded with confidence. "We'll
bring justice!"
Pit chuckled as he gave her the thumbs up. "That's the spirit!"
"I will go, if you'll excuse me. I'll be in my room if the young lawyer need
me."
The Seraph bowed as he took his leave. The captain turned toward Etna and
Flonne. "I'm counting on you two. Not because I bet for my position if Laharl
is found guilty but because I know he's innocent..."
"Really? My opinion is the total opposite.," The redhead replied with a smirk.
"I know he's guilty about attempting murder, that's just like him."
"E-Etna!"
"But the Prince doesn't release his full power for nothing... he obliviously
went on a rampage, and he rarely goes in this mode... I think the harder thing
do to will be to prove that this Gaston guy isn't innocent either."
"Of course Gastard isn't innocent. That guy is a hypocritical pervert preaching
about keeping our virginity when he hits on Aqua." Pit almost sounded jealous
when he said that.
"Let's go see Ms. Wright then."
===============================================================================
It isn't a surprise that the defense attorney already started her
investigation. The green haired angel may have been a pushover but when she was
put on the case, she had to start investigating. There was also the fact that
she wanted to help the boy that showed her some kindness around here when her
partner wasn't around to defend her.
This took her straight to the room where Laharl was staying and it didn't
require a bodyguard like Isaak. The lightning angel was easy to trick anyway
and he ended up leaving her to go bug Dark Pit. She couldn't get into the room
because it was locked from the inside. At first she gave a small knock before
she started banging on the door and calling out the Overlord's name. He didn't
respond. Instead, a huge man came out of the door to Wright's surprise. She
backed up upon seeing him glare down at her.
"W-Why are you here?" She asked. "I thought…"
"Does it matter why I'm here?" He asked. "Arcadia told me to check on the brat.
She's a cruel woman. Telling the victim to see the attempted murderer in the
room that." He whispered something in her ear that made her shiver before he
walked off. Of course, despite what he said, she noticed something from his
pocket and quickly yanked it. He didn't even realize that it was missing.
When he was gone, Wright went into the room seeing if anything was out of
place...everything seemed normal...except for the fact that the Overlord was
curled up in the bed refusing to move an inch despite someone being in the
room. On the corner of her eye, Wright noted that the Overlord's pants were
down. Did demons sleep like this?
She was confused. "L-Laharl...is everything okay?"
At first the Overlord didn't respond despite her appearance in front of him.
Eventually he snapped out of his trance and attempted to glare at her…but
failed miserably.
"…Wh…what do you want?"
"I told you Captain Pit sent me here to be your lawyer for the trial tomorrow.
My duty is to prove that you're the victim in this case and not Gaston."
Wright also noticed that Laharl did not react well to Gaston's name.
"Anyway, can you tell me what he said to you?"
"...Nothing…"
"You sure? You look like you seen a ghost and I know Gaston is a jerk and likes
to threaten people but...if you have anything to say, spill it. I'm your
lawyer."
"... He said nothing…"
Wright wasn't convinced as she sat on the bed causing him to flinch.
"Can you explain why your pants are down?"
"... It's too hot in there..."
Wright was confused. "Really? I thought it was cool. Rita's division is all
about keeping the temperature stable so the plants can survive."
She was asking these questions knowing she wasn't getting any answer from him.
She tried to look at the prince's face. "Can you look at me when I talk? I feel
like I'm talking to a wall."
Her personality was more assertive now that she was appointed as a lawyer. It
felt nice to be commanding every now and then given how she was normally
treated.
He just kept avoiding her again. "What's the point? They saw me. I'm guilty..."
He grumbled.
"Even if this system is guilty until proven innocent, I know you're innocent."
She smiled. "Young boys like you wouldn't do something like that." She then
frowned. "Besides...if you're guilty...they'll kill you..."
The Overlord jumped hearing that. He glanced at her in horror. "WHAT?!"
"Didn't you read the rules of Angel Land? If an angel tries to kill an angel,
they'll be banished and they'll become a fallen angel. If a human or a demon
tries to kill an angel, they will be executed if found guilty unless a member
of the Angel Assembly has a better idea."
The young Overlord was stunned into silence. What kind of bullshit rule was
that? She sighed realizing that she wasn't going to get anything from her
client.
"I understand if you don't talk to me. I'll try again later on today. Hopefully
you'll have something to say." She got off the bed and turned to leave. "And
Master Laharl...you know you can tell Pit anything. The Captain may be mean,
but he's fighting for you. It only takes the first step to get things started."
"... What's the point in telling him anything? That damn assembly is not on his
side at all..."
"The Captain wants to prove that Gaston isn't innocent. All that's needed is
casting doubt on him. They need evidence after all. With evidence, they won't
ignore the Captain since evidence speaks for itself." Her scowl deepened.
"Trusting the Captain isn't a bad thing if that's what you're thinking."
"... There…was a proof…but I destroyed it..."
"The camera?"
"Yes... the camera..."
"What was on it? Naughty stuff about the Captain for once?"
"No... I-it was... what provoked me…"
She was confused. "I don't get it. If the camera has stuff about the
Captain...why would you be upset?" She had this random idea come to mind. "Do
you have a crush on the Captain?"
Laharl was taken back and just glared daggers at the lawyer. "Wh-What? No!"
"Okay...that thought is out the window. If they bring that up, I'm going to
laugh."
She was trying to be optimistic. Then again, she didn't seem to understand the
situation Laharl was in.
"He humiliated me on purpose and filmed it. He wanted to blackmail me with that
tape!"
Her head shot up after she was done laughing. "Wait...what?"
Laharl realized he said too much and kept his mouth shut after that.
"S-Say that again. I-I was too busy laughing!"
"Y-you heard it... I-I won't repeat..."
"B-But..."
Wright realized that was it. She wasn't going to get any information especially
the one she missed.
"...Can I take a look around the room?"
"Do what you want..."
"Thank you."
She searched around the room looking for anything suspicious. She could use
anything for evidence. His testimony, the bandana she snatched from Gaston, the
fact that Laharl had his pants down despite it being rather breezy in the 10th
division...there really was nothing in here...
"Thank you...I think the Captain will see you later tonight...since he is
worried about you."
"Him? Worried? Tss..."
"He's the Captain. He worries for everyone. It's the reason he's risking his
position for you."
"He didn't need to..."
Wright smiled faintly. "Don't let the Captain down, okay?"
That's all she said before she left the room with the evidence.
===============================================================================
"So... he talked about this camera?"
Since she left Laharl's room, Wright has been bombarded with questions from the
two demon girls. After she accepted their help, Flonne and Etna obliviously
wanted to know more.
"What's on that camera?" Asked Flonne. "Does anyone know?"
"I only remember him saying that he was being blackmailed with it." She
frowned. "What could possibly be on that camera though? I mean, all of us
angels know that the information on said camera pertained to the Captain.
Gaston wouldn't be in the human world unless it was to catch the Captain..."
"Well, we could use that, for a start... " The young succubus grumbled. She was
stumped on why her prince would even care about the camera if it concerned the
Captain they just met. "Isn't there anyway that we can know what has been
recorded?"
"...I don't know...I doubt Gaston was smart enough to bring an extra copy."
"That's too bad..." The fallen angel sighed. "Maybe what's inside could prove
that Laharl is innocent..."
"Because of that, I'm going to have to go back to the crime scene and see if
there's anything I can pick up there. Captain Pit said Arcadia took the most
important thing being the broken camera..." She looked up. "And the only way to
get to that portion of the human world is to go to the 2nd division alchemy
room."
"Can't we go?"
"Yes...it's just on the other side of the division."
"Let's investigate then!"
Wright sighed thinking that Fuyumi was going to be in a bad mood because of
what happened.
===============================================================================
Even though it's been a week, Etna didn't know why the divisions were so far
apart from each other. They never saw the outside of the palace given they were
always inside, but it must have been enormous on the outside as it was on the
inside.
They reached the Alchemy room to see Fuyumi with a lit fuse. She wasn't reading
anymore and she seemed pissed off at what happened.
"Uh...Fuyumi..."
"Come back later! I'm busy!"
"But...the portal..."
"Busy!"
"... Let's just ignore her and go on our own"
"You're not allowed to use the teleporter."
"But we need to."
Fuyumi looked up from her studies and scowled. "I'm already going to be in huge
trouble when this trial happens." She folded her arms as she avoided eye
contact. "The fact that I didn't pay any close attention when I allowed that
demon brat took that potion is going to get me busted..."
"... What potion?"
"That potion!"
"... Is this a love potion?" Flonne had to ask.
Fuyumi slammed her fists on the table. "No! That potion is for angels! If you
take it, you'll lose your angel wings and powers when you go to the human
world!"
"... And Laharl drank this?" Etna questioned. "Does a demon lose its wings and
power too?"
"Apparently they do." Fuyumi replied. "I never gave it to Arachne for a test
run. She was too chicken to do it."
And for good reasons. Wright thought sarcastically to herself. "So with
demons..."
"Yes it works!" Fuyumi said again making sure Wright heard her. "But then the
quantity is important too. If a kid like Rita drinks too much, instead of
having little powers, he'll have none for a longer period of time."
"Do you know if he drank a full bottle?"
"Of course he did! I had two bottles here! I gave one to the Captain and then I
turned away and the second one was gone!"
"I see..."
"I should have been able to notice his presence! It's the alchemy room!"
"Say, how long wings and powers are supposed to disappear after drinking that
potion?"
"For someone like Pit whose over eighteen in human years, it would be three
hours maximum. Kids though? Maybe half a day."
"... But not even two hours passed since Laharl drank the potion and attacked
Gaston..." The fallen angel brought up. "Is it even possible?"
Fuyumi went over to the alchemy books and looked through some spells and
groaned. "I don't know why that would happen. I can only think that it was
because he's the Overlord, but Overlord or not, you will lose your powers
temporary if you drink it."
"Is there something about Laharl that's different?" Wright asked the two.
"You mean, despite being the Overlord?"
"Yes! Is there something else about him?"
"Well…yes." Etna said before grinning. "But that's a secret."
"WHAT?! But that could really help him!" Wright exclaimed.
Fuyumi didn't seem to care about why it was a secret. She needed to know why
her potion didn't work.
"Well, ask the Prince yourself, if you really want to know." She answered
simply.
"But I couldn't get anything out of him beside that the camera was being used
to blackmail him..."
"Too bad, that secret of his will simply never come out of anyone else's
mouth."
Wright sighed in defeat as she turned to Fuyumi.
"Please let me go to the crime scene. We'll find out about the potion
eventually."
"Please, please, please with sugar on top?" The fallen angel begged.
Fuyumi groaned. "Do I have a choice? My reputation is at stake..."
"We won't take long."
"Ten minutes. That's it."
"That should be enough." Etna added to Wright's pleading.
Fuyumi went over to a pile of books on the floor and kicked them aside
revealing the portal. "Save my reputation Wright."
"Uh...yeah..." Wright muttered to herself more. "Let's go girls."
"Right!" they both cheered, heading right into the portal.
Kicking Wright aside, she basically fell head first into the portal. Fuyumi
realize that they needed the potion so they wouldn't be spotted.
===============================================================================
Wright only realized that when they landed on the roof of a building. It wasn't
even close to the hotel. She groaned realizing in broad daylight that they
stood out.
"Uh...why does this happen!" She looked around. This building looked very
familiar...
"... Where's the crime scene?" Etna asked.
"I...don't know!" She freaked out. "W-Why did we end up here?! Fuyumi! What did
you do?!"
"... So we have only ten minutes, and we don't even know where the crime scene
is. Why do I have the feeling that Laharl will not be saved?"
"This is the worst possible thing!"
As she said that though, something was thrown at her face causing her to be
sent flying.
"Oh shit! I hit someone!"
"Fucking idiot..."
"What now?"
"Diamond, go check on the person you hit or I'm telling your boyfriend."
"Yanase is NOT my boyfriend!"
"Sure whatever."
Quick as a wink, someone quickly jumped out of the shadows. He had red hair,
red eyes and wore a black trench coat. He looked like a demon if you caught a
glimpse of said red orbs but he seemed to be a human...
"Oh crap! I hit April! My bad!"
Wright wanted to cry knowing who hit her. "D-Diamond...why are you here...and
don't call me by that name! It's embarrassing!"
Diamond chuckled. "Sorry. I was seeing how far I could chuck the soda and for
some strange reason, it hit you. Funny isn't it?"
"No, it's not!"
Diamond noticed the two girls and already, he could tell they were angel and
demon. "Wright...why are angels and demons showing up here recently? I know
Captain Armpit needed a break but there are like...three others that came
already!"
That got their attention.
"Really?"
"Where was it?"
"It took place in the Love Hotel district in Shibuya." Diamond explained.
"Whisper said it was just Pit. And then this demon brat came out...and then
this big guy that was probably an angel and then finally that downright sexy
angel with a sword."
"Uh..."
Diamond turned around to see his friend staring at them dumbfounded.
"...I must be dreaming. I'll come back later."
"Kisa! It's not a dream!" Diamond shouted. "I told you angels and demons exist!
Even elves!"
"Could you bring us there please?" Asked Flonne.
"Sure if I get to know your names pretty ladies."
"Now you're hitting on little girls...sad..." Kisa muttered.
"I'm Flonne, and this is Etna." She introduced smiling missing the sarcasm in
his tone. "We are demons."
"Really, that means you're legit."
"Diamond!"
The redhead flinched and chuckled nervously. "Uh fu fu…well…Kisa, I got to go
show them that scene."
"Yeah whatever..."
"Hurry, will you?" added the red haired one. "We only have ten minutes to
investigate."
"Let's go."
Diamond basically jumped off the building with the girls follow suiting.
Wright didn't want to go the same route as the three given that she wasn't the
most graceful angel. Kisa was surprised that the girls could keep up with him.
"Uh…what just happened...?"
"...I don't want to jump. I'm going to hit a car..."
Leaving the lawyer behind, Flonne and Etna reached the crime scene, along with
Diamond. Wright would follow them soon after. Diamond seemed to have a grasp on
what was going on in the first place.
"Recap, the brat is accused of attempted murder right?"
"That's it, but we know he tried to blackmail the Prince, so we want evidences
for that."
Diamond smirked. "Whisper told me what she thought. I think you'll find some
good things in the back alley here."
He stood in front allowing them to search the area.
"Thank you Mr. Diamond" The fallen angel thanked as she gave him a small bow.
"Don't mention it sweetie. I love helping kids."
And the duo started searching for evidences. Wright caught up to them
eventually. As she tried to catch her breath Diamond just laughed at her and
pushed her onto the scene.
"... What is this?" Asked Flonne, picking up the torn shirt.
"It's a ripped shirt." Diamond stated the obvious. "Whisper expected that would
be there."
Wright's expression darkened. "...We will definitely need this."
"Oh, that means I've found evidence! Yay!"
Wright used her magic to open up a portal. She took the shirt from Flonne and
threw it in there with the rest of the stuff. She looked up and noticed the
chain on the hotel. It was bent.
"Hmm…this doesn't seem like it should be bent."
"Of course not!" Diamond said with a laugh. "That thing is always straight when
I come down here."
Nice to know that...
"Should we take a picture of it if it's important?" The blonde asked.
Wright nodded her head. "Please do."
Etna took out a small camera that she stole from the 8th division. "Smile
Flonne!" She reminded her friend as she took a picture while Flonne was doing
the peace sign.
Wright kept looking for more places. Besides the obvious dent in the wall on
the opposite end, there really was nothing here. She sighed. Did it happen or
not? Not taking any chances, Etna just took a picture of everything.
"... That should be it..." She said after a while. "Personally I don't think
there's much here that could help us... if only we could know what's on that
camera..."
"I heard from Whisper that she and that angel got down and dirty." He says this
to kids with a laugh causing Wright to blush madly.
"I-I don't need to know that! They don't need to know that."
"But what else could be on the camera beside some hot se-"
"NO!"
"I don't think it's what is on that camera." The young succubus responded. "If
it was, that means that whole thing was meant for protecting the Captain.
Laharl would never do such a thing."
"That's the thing though." Wright began. "What type of camera was it Diamond?
Whisper apparently got a good look at the broken pieces."
"It was a black digital camera." Diamond replied. "Basically, it's one of those
cameras where you can get a huge shot of what's going on or get a close up with
the lens. Pretty slick to get some good shit. It can hold a lot of memory on
it, and I seriously doubt this Gastard that you angels and demons speak of
would film the whole thing because if they're going to present that in trial,
it's going to be two hours of humiliation."
"I don't think they'll present this in court. If they do, they'll just prove
that this angel was black mailing the Prince."
"The camera is broken anyway." Diamond pointed out. "So they can't show the
footage."
"Also," Wright continued. "They only need to show that Pit broke one of the
more important Angel Land laws. Blackmail is minor in comparison to that
law..."
"Too bad…so...what now?" The redhead asked. "Can you really do something with
what we've found here?"
"Yes." Wright said. "I got information about the potion, one thing the Overlord
said, and the crime scene...I think all that is left is..." She paled realizing
the last thing she needed to do.
"What? What is it?"
"...There's someone I need to ask in the Angel Assembly...everyone is
mean...but maybe...she'll give me a hint...on who the prosecutor is..."
"...Well go do it."
"But I'm scared of them!"
Diamond laughed. "You'll be fine. Just have Kaguju stand right next to you and
you'll be able to get something done."
"Cheer up miss Wright! I'm sure you can do it!" The fallen angel cheered.
"Alright..." The green haired angel didn't sound al that confident though.
"Oh look! Ten minutes up! Back you go!"
"Oh. Thanks for your help Mr. Diamond!"
"Don't mention it sweetie. Make sure you two grow up so we can have fun~"
"DIAMOND!"
Wright screamed his name as the trio was teleported back. Diamond just laughed.
"I was just kidding. They're too young."
===============================================================================
Back in Angel Land, the duo was still following Wright everywhere. Wright
didn't want to leave the palace though. Just a few more steps and she would be
outside. The trial wasn't going to be held at the palace. It was going to be
held in Evangelion. She didn't want to fly there. She just wanted to teleport.
"Will it take long?" The succubus questioned. "I need to pee..."
"It's a long walk...flight...unless we find Kaguju who can teleport us."
"Uh...we really don't have much time for this..."
"But...uh..."
"Just go ahead with Flonne then." She told them. "I'll catch you up later."
The two ended up going ahead. She prayed she wouldn't have to go to Evangelion.
Fortunately for her, she only had to go to the entrance of Evangelion before
she saw someone with orange hair and wearing a French Maid's outfit walking
toward them. Wright instantly hid behind Flonne.
"Huh? What's wrong Miss Wright?"
Wright cowered behind the angel as she heard the girl laugh.
"Oh it's April Fools."
"D-Darcy...h-how nice to see you h-here."
Darcy just laughed at the green haired angel as she folded her arms smiling
evilly. "I can't believe you'll be the defense attorney tomorrow."
"You two know each other?"
"We were childhood friends..." Wright admitted.
"We still are." Darcy said with a noblewomen's laugh.
"That's because...you bully me." Wright got out from behind Flonne. "Anyway, I
need your help...since Friday isn't here...can you tell me who the prosecutor
is...and any hints..."
"Why should I tell you? I'm part of the Angel Assembly."
"Can't you tell us? Pleaaaaaase?"
"Oh, you're that fallen angel."
"Yes! My name is Flonne, pleased to meet you."
Darcy just laughed. "Why would I help demons? Tell me one good reason?"
"H-huh? B-but...we really need help."
"Come on Darcy! You're not that heartless…"
"Oh yes I am. I can just walk away right now and you won't get anymore
information."
Wright started to pout causing Darcy to back off.
"...Your opponent is Sigrid Paventia. You're going to lose."
Wright's eyes widened in horror. "Oh no...oh god...oh shit..."
"... Who is that?"
"She's worse than Arcadia..." Was all Wright could say.
Darcy chuckled again. "Good luck getting your testimony in. She'll rape the
shit out of you if you don't~"
"Oh no...Does that mean we really can't win? I-I don't want Laharl to be
killed..."
"That's going to be so sad." She mocked as she turned to walk away. "I can't
wait to see your crying face Wright."
She walked back toward Evangelion laughing her noblewoman's laugh. Wright
sighed as she turned the other direction and slowly began walking away.
"I knew there was a catch..."
"We can't let this happen Ms. Wright. You can do something, can't you?"
"...I'm just going to pray that I don't get humiliated..."
"Please... please do your best..."
"I'm not throwing the case away...don't worry..."
It was then Etna joined them.
"So? What happened?" Etna questioned wanting the juicy details.
"... Ms. Wright think we might lose..."
"H-huh? How? Why?"
"...Why do they choose the cruelest women in Angel Land to prosecute..."
"So what? No angel is going to scare me." Etna replied. "All we have to do is
to bribe some people and-"
"No Etna!" The fallen angel interrupted. "This is not the Dark Assembly. We
can't bribe people or use force to get what we want! Besides, I don't think it
would help Laharl if we do that... a lot of angels seems to despise us..."
"I hope you really have a good plan." The redhead snarled at the defense
attorney. "If Laharl gets killed, you'll be next."
Threatening Wright was the last thing she needed to do. Before the two demons
could say anything else, Wright already zoomed off back toward her safe haven.
It really was suffering being someone as unlucky as her.
Dammit...why does this always happen to me?!
Chapter End Notes
     Me: TBC with 6217 words. Notes!
     Fuyumi is the vice-captain of the second division. While Sun-Wong
     acts as Pit's vice-captain in terms of paperwork, Sun-Wong himself is
     very sloppy individual often scattering his books out when reading.
     Fuyumi ends up cleaning up his mess if the librarian Nina doesn't
     beat her to it. Fuyumi is also rather sloppy though given that she
     demonstrated letting Laharl run off with something important while
     she was performing experiments. Fuyumi is an alchemist and both of
     her parents are scientists (so that's why she's rather quirky). She's
     very tall for a woman (like most of the females in Angel Land) with
     amazing silver hair. She's one of the better archers out there (no
     one can beat Pit though).
     Darcy is one of the lower ranking members of the Angel Assembly and
     works under Friday. Darcy is a maid who used to be friends with
     Wright but the desire to advance the rankings made her go for a job
     as a maid and eventually corrupted her mind making her a huge bully
     to one of her few friends. Of course, Darcy hadn't forgiven herself
     for what happened and switches between bullying Weight and being the
     close friend. She has other friends in the assembly now and she's
     never seen without Friday nowadays. She's an agile brawler but her
     outfit makes it hard to fight…but she has gotten better with fighting
     in it over time.
     Gaston is one of the lower ranking members of the Angel Assembly and
     as his name implies, he's a dick and a hypocrite. He's like the old
     school Conservative talking about how the children need to remain
     traditional to values meaning they shouldn't be having relationships,
     being gay and other bullshit while attempting to do the same thing
     and failing. Gaston is on the muscular side with blonde hair and
     stubble (no do not think of that Gaston in terms of appearance or it
     will mess you up). He's technically Arcadia's bitch but he makes it
     seem like it's the other way around.
     The entire human portion is a reference to Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi. I
     really couldn't get away from that at the end of the day especially
     when I drew a crappy map of the human earth. There are two earths
     that Palutena watches over (and there are obviously more): The
     "feudal earth" and the "modern earth". One takes place BC and the
     other one is AC. Kid Icarus and Queen's Blade have the feudal time
     period while modern anime involving robots or slice of life is
     considered modern.
     With that said, Diamond and Whisper are the two characters from the
     modern world that allow the angels to keep track of what is going on.
     The game Zelina and I are working on would take place in modern earth
     with the lack of knowledge to supernatural beings while feudal earth
     is where the supernatural have an obvious presence. Diamond and
     Whisper are not humans as I should point out because of how much they
     know about the supernatural beings…plus Diamond has obvious super
     strength and agility that no normal human have. I pretty much implied
     both are elves though from Planet Order.
