Chapter -11: The Devil's Girlfriend
Water -7
Water -7… assuming the "Water" part is accurate. True, it would've been water, if not for all the oil and sludge polluting its blueness. People got around this canal island on mini steamboats, the rivers black with oil, and much waste being dumped out its coasts. In brightest day, the sky was dark with smoke clouds, and it was amazing anyone could survive here. Hence, why isn't this called "Poison -7."
Sitting atop the barely-active fountain was the treehouse belonging to Sector -W7. Five of its members sat around in total boredom, barely watching or listening to its active TV. The quiet was disrupted when a snake slithered into the room and up Yenmihc's dress. "AAAH! What're you doing, GET IT OUT, GET IT OUT!"
The snake flew out and down Lirpa's shirt. "AAAAH STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!" Went out and went for Ebnog. The little blue rabbit wore a casual, uninterested frown before kicking it away.
The snake morphed back into Lilliputian member, Ahcniea. "Cough, cough! Heeeey!"
"HAAAAA hahahahahaha!" Sipa, a devilish girl in a black dress and white pointed hat, cackled as she marched in. "Ahhhh, the snake. My favorite animal of all time. You know it was the snake that set all these lovely events in motion." She winked.
"What did you do that for, Sipa?!" Ahcniea shouted.
"Because I wanted to have fun, and I did. You were merely my tool in doing so, just as I am a tool to the great and glorious Ganon!"
"You only treat me this way because I'm small! I didn't ASK to be born this way!"
"Yes, well, you are. But it's okay, for you are merely the example that humans are tiny, insignificant beings to the power of demons."
Ebnog's rabbit ears perked. "Tsk tsk." It twitched, for he clearly knew he wasn't a cat and therefore didn't meow.
"I know, Ebnog. Asia's coming." Yenmihc agreed.
The flapping of wings were heard as an angel child flew into the room. She was the Nega-Nimbi Asia, with a green sweater, black pants with white shoes, clean dark-red hair, and pitch-black wings. "Phew. Man, the clouds were AWFUL today. Why can't we just relocate instead of living in all this filth?"
"Because Arceus makes all fools suffer." Sipa stated. "You guys really oughta worship Ganon, he'll give you whatever you want."
"Sorry, but I follow Hexxus." Yenmihc stated. "By the way, is Ahcom still stuck in her room? Lirpa, go let 'er out."
"Why do I have to do everything around here, WHY DO you all TREAT me this way?!"
"Lirpa, just go do it."
"RrrrrrRRRR!" The 12-year-old angrily stormed off to Ahcom's room. On the other side, she heard the short girl's grunting, unable to turn the knob, and annoyedly opened it for her.
"There you are, what took you so long?!" Ahcom asked hatefully.
"It's not MY fault it was closed!"
"Well, now my LEGS are too tired. Carry me." She sat.
"Grrrr!" Lirpa lifted and carried Ahcom to the living room.
"Sipa, hurry up and make us food, I'm hungry." Yenmihc demanded.
"Would you like fried goat?"
"NO."
"Yenmihc, why're you always so MEAN to people, why can't you be nice?!" Lirpa asked.
"Because I'm stuck with idiots! A whiny shrimp, crazy voodoo witch, big fat WIMP, germ-freak angel, and YOU a total LOUDMOUTH."
"Who's calling WHO a loudmouth!!"
"When it matters. When'd the DNK decide to let you freaks in, anyway. There's a Aipyks DNK, an Anaeco DNK, why couldn't THIS DNK stay HUMAN dominated?"
"But aren't you a ¼ mermaid?" Ahcniea asked.
"Peh. My human blood outmatches my 'mermaid', so it means nothing. Even if YOU all aren't totally human, I'd forgive you if it weren't for your quirks."
"And I'd probably like this place better if we had a couple boys." Niea said dreamily. "Couple-a hunky cute boys who wanna hold me close."
"Nah, you'd do much better with a girlfriend, Ahcniea!" Sipa grinned, pulling out her wand. "In fact-"
"Sipa, please don't-!"
"IMPERIO!"
At that instant, Ahcniea lost all sense of feeling or awareness.
"Now kissy-faaaaace, mw-mw-mw-mw." She levitated Ahcniea to Yenmihc and tried to force her tiny face against the latter's giant lips.
"HEY, HEY, stop it, Sipa!"
"YOU too."
With that, both girls were under the spell as Yenmihc grabbed Ahcniea and lovingly embraced her in a deep kiss. Yenmihc's huge lips engulfed Ahcniea's tiny face. Their eyes were shut, their tongues making contact, and they enjoyed every minute of it. They looked as though they wanted to be this way forever, and share their love forever.
"Aaaaaand break."
No sooner could Yenmihc throw Ahcniea to the ground. "PLEACH!! Don't you EVER do that AGAIN!"
"UUGH!" Ahcniea wiped her tongue. "That's IT, I'M LEAVING!" She stomped off.
"Where ya gonna GO, Lillistick?" Yenmihc stated.
"Why can't we go ONE day without HAVING A FIGHT?!" yelled Lirpa.
"Yenmihc, do you ever think about putting on shoes?" Asia asked. "Your toenails are looking really dirty."
Yenmihc slipped out her sandal and kicked Asia across the face. "Yeah, dirty with your CLEANNESS!"
"Ewwwww!" Asia hurriedly cleaned the mark off.
"Lirpaaaaa! Help me open the freezeeeerrr!" Ahcom yelled, too tiny to reach it.
"UGH!! YOU GUYS FUCKING SUCK! I HOPE ALL OF YOU DROP DEAD!" And Lirpa was storming out of there as well.
"Yeah, you lopes are boring. I'm gettin' out." Sipa stated before heading for the exit. She raised both hands in a rock-and-roll sign and cheered, "Hail Ganon!" before closing the door.
Planet Ainozama
The sparks of blowtorches blew everywhere as the giant children worked tirelessly on their project. The huge, metallic, circular device was close to completion. "I-It's almost finished." stuttered Ardnusyrhc, who sat next to Annaira. "Soon as we test it, it'll, work like a charm."
"Not yet, Aluben requested it be hooked onto a ship and be able to target someone with a laser to transport them." Anna reminded. "You still have a bit to go."
"Wh-Wh-Why does Aluben want something like this again? …"
"So that she can send Nerehc away for awhile, of course. We still need to recruit the Nimbi and Minish to our side, even more so finding her make-believe tree. To see that Nerehc interferes not with us, well, Aluben goes to unnecessarily great lengths to see to that. We are also fascinated if a similar situation becomes of his Positive. Of course, she also desires a few test dummies in case things, you know, go awry. Thankfully, my associates managed to acquire one."
"But I thought Aluben needed Nerehc. Won't he need a way home?"
"And if our experiments show correctly, Nerehc's Positive will be transported by his own means, so he'll likely seek his help. Hopefully that help won't come too soon before we've secured a majority of Earth. When all other armies are aligned against the DNK, Nerehc will have to force surrender or allow his subjects to die. It's the only negative consequence to being 1/4th Positive, really. A consequence Aluben is counting on."
EiznekCm Household
"NEEEEREEEEHHHC! HURRY UP AND TAKE OUT THE TRASH!"
"O-KAY, Mom!" Nerehc annoyedly hauled a huge sack of trash to his… past the trashcan, and dumped it in the street. "Heh heh heh ha." He turned to walk ba- "GAH!"
"SACRILEEEEGE!" Sipa poofed out of thick smoke (op. thin air :P). "Greetings, O Prince of the Darkland!" she humbly bowed.
Nerehc bowed back, "My Maid of the Earthworms. What news hath thee to bring?" He smirked humorously.
"A high school brainiac was about to take a really important test. I reconfigured his mind to write 'Ganon is great' for all the answers."
"Thine service to us is accounted." They stood straight up again. "…HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" And exchanged laughter.
"Hi, Sipa. How's the sector?"
"Simply awful. May I hang out with you today? I never feel so close to His Greatness than when I'm with you."
"Eh, sure, what the heck."
"May I see the sword?"
"Mm." He drew his white, shiny sword.
"Aaaaaaahh!" Its light reflected off Sipa's wide eyes. "The Devil's Sword!" She softly rubbed her hands along it. "I can feel its evil presence! Oh, to be struck with this unholy blade!"
Nerehc sheathed it, smirking. "Maybe next time. Hey MA, I'm goin' out." he yelled as they left down the street.
"OKAY, bring back a couple birds."
Dnalevelc Park
"So what's new in your existence?" Nerehc asked.
"Oh, nothing in particular. Though every day, I feel as though I get a little closer to glorious Ganon! I've been perfecting my magic, and may I say, people will never be happy anytime soon."
"Won't they now?" Nerehc smirked.
"Mm-hm! HEY, little boy!" A nearby blonde boy looked over and ran over to them with a quizzical look. "INTO A BEETLE!" A flick of her wand, the boy shrunk down into a beetle. "Hahahahahahaha!" The two laughed joyously as he skittered around like the bug he was. "Quick, step on it!" Both friends stomped their feet in a, ecstatic attempt to murder the helpless insect, laughing as though it were a simple, friendly game. Which it was. "OW!" Both ended up stomping the other's foot, exchanging a friendly smile. "BACKTONORMAL!" Another flick, and the kid spun back to normal.
"AAAAH!" He couldn't run faster to get away from the witch, but-
"CURSE!" He tripped when Sipa zapped a spell at his leg, leaving a black 'X' mark. "If you tell anybody what happened here, a virus will steadily eat you from the inside until every ounce of your body becomes limp and practically dead." ;D She winked as though this was a simple joke, but it wasn't. Well, not on the boy's end, anyway.
"Nnnnn!" He ran away from that park and would never come back.
"Aaaaah, the joy of seeing someone terrified and scarred." smiled Sipa with peace as they walked along. "YOU, CHOKE YOUR BOYFRIEND!" She cast a spell on a woman as she marched off to carry her task. She then noticed a teenage boy smoothly talking to a girl, and with a light flick, "Reducio!" a spell hit his crotch, and he was suddenly embarrassed and cowering away. She saw a puppy happily sniffing a baby in a stroller, and cast a spell to make the puppy attack the infant viciously, the mother frightfully grabbing her and running away.
"Hm hm, you really enjoy this, don't you?" Nerehc smirked as they stopped. "Aren't you ever afraid of getting punished?"
"What's the worst that can happen? The more I sin, the more I am bound to spend my eternity in Hell, where the demons will harvest my evil soul and fuel their lustful kind for another decade!" She spoke with wide, dreamy eyes and a hopeful smile. "I'm just so happy to fill people with misery."
"Yeah, but don't forget, I'm the Demon Prince." He smirked. "Maybe I'll grant you a pardon and have you sent to the Spirit World, where all your evil will be washed away."
"Perhaps." smirked Sipa. "But seeing as you're still in mortal form, I can control you with my magic. I can make you bow to me, and worship me as Ganon's daughter."
"Wanna test that theorem?" he asked with challenging eyes.
"Imperio!" She aimed her wand and stood regally, Nerehc falling to his knees, head held low, and hands flat on the ground. He looked like a lowly servant to his royal princess, but his unfazed smile stayed. "Bend backward and shake your waist." Nerehc bent like a rainbow bridge and shook. "Stand on your head and spin." His cranium ached greatly as it pressed against the rugged sidewalk to support his weight, even more so when he spun. "While also scratching your butt." Forced to balance his spinning, he struggled to reach up and scratch his rear. "STOP." Nerehc fell on his front with an unbearable headache. "Nooow… kiss my feet." He puckered his lips and loomed closer to her right shoe… "AAAAHH!" but yanked Sipa's dress up to sink his teeth in her leg.
She kicked him off as Nerehc stood back up. "Well, 'guess you don't have full control after all. Face it, Sip, I'm just too great."
"CRUCIO!"
"Nnn-!" Nerehc flinched at this sudden Torture Curse, but only a light pain sparked in his receptors, and he was able to bear it. "Heheh! Have to try better than that!"
"Locomotor Wibbly!"
"WAAH!" Nerehc suddenly fell off his feet.
"Hkk, KAH ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Nerehc smiled at her childish, fun-filled laughter and helped himself up. Even though it was over his torment, hearing her laugh brightened Nerehc's day. Both friends took a seat on the bench to watch the activity in the park. "When I grow up… I wanna open my own voodoo shop and give tons of unlucky souls evil curses." Sipa smiled. "My spells only last so long, but I would love to give people an indefinite hex and banish their souls to Hell. And if I put my mind to it, I can take over a whole town and make Ganonism the sole religion!"
"Well, if terrible times can happen in a world the Devil watches, I don't see why your dream couldn't come true."
"What's your dream, Nerehc? To rule the Demon Realm and establish eternal darkness, right??"
"Heh heh. To be honest, I… never thought of it. My true dream."
"I think you can challenge the Dictator for her title. You already resisted her powers, you can take the whole galactic empire for yourself. And make everybody kneel before you."
"It sounds nice, but… eh, I just don't think I'd be in to that. Commanding a bunch of idiots. I can't even keep order on my own planet. 't's why you and your sector are a mess."
"Well then what WOULD you like to do? Come on, TELL ME." She flicked her wand, making Nerehc flinch.
"Hck, I…. don't know." He smirked.
"UUUUGH!" She released. "You're no fun!"
"Well, I'm Cheren's opposite, so one of us must be lying."
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" Both laughed.
Nerehc stretched an arm behind her head while Sipa leaned against his side. "Siiiigh. Boy, that Halloween was messed up."
"Oh yes, the curse thing. I bet you made an adorable beetle!"
"Eh, my mom sure didn't think so. Reminds me, I think… Sicnarf wanted me to do somethin'… oh yeah, try and talk to the Nimbi and get 'em to join our side."
"HA ha ha! The Nimbi!" laughed Sipa. "Such funny creatures. They're supposed to be close to the gods, yet they're utter slobs. Though seeing an army of winged angels of darkness under your command does interest me."
"No, it's more of trying to merge our two armies to fight a million aliens. Trying to understand each other, all that crap."
"A waste of time, if you ask me. Even if different races do work together, they're always gonna have their own particular peeves with each other, and no one'll ever understand each other fully. It's just the natural order of things. Plus, if our creators wanted us to 'understand' each other, why'd they separate us to begin with?"
"I suppose. But we do have to do something about that dictator, can't just let 'er take us over."
"But you already DID do something about her. Your demons' strength has overcome her own, you can destroy her and claim the whole empire for your own."
"Yeah, but- …still… it'll get annoying with any group attacking us so much, maybe making peace would be a… good thing? Just so they'll leave us alone."
"If you say so, though it'd be much easier to scare them into leaving you alone. I would say that—"
"Nerehc, THERE you are." Sicnarf and Ininap had entered the park.
"So uh, hehe, spending time with your girlfriend today?" Ininap grinned nervously.
"Yeah, it looks that way. So sorry if I'm a little late coming to Moonbase." Nerehc replied.
"Well, I wish you'd come, because as your brother was apparently too scared to tell you last night, Yddam was-" Sicnarf tried to say.
"Hey, watch this—TEN GALLONS OF PEE!" Sipa zapped her wand at Sicnarf.
"HOOOOOAAAAAAH!" The boy desperately gripped his crotch, feeling the need to explode any second.
"Hnhn, feeling alright there, Sic?" Nerehc smirked.
"Ah, I just need…" He zipped away to find a decent tree.
"Uh, hehehehehehe." Ininap laughed half-heartedly. "Th-That's very funny, but um, Nerehc-"
"Bobble-Head Curse!" Sipa zapped Inap and suddenly caused her head to shake furiously, earning laughs from all the passerby. "I call this the Mr. Oblong!" Another zap as Ininap yanked her own legs up in a 'U', bouncing in circles on the base of her skirt. "Noooow CLIMB UP A TREE LIKE A SQUIRREL!"
Ininap started twitching and chattering like a squirrel, crouched and sticking two teeth out as she scampered toward a tree and climbed like the rodent she was. She stuck her head in a squirrel hole and engaged in tug-o-war with one for nuts, but she ended up taking the fall, quaking the ground as piles of nuts came down on her. Laughter sounded all throughout the park as people one-by-one left, and Nerehc and Sipa were the last two to finish. "Come on, let's hit the town." Sipa told him. As Ininap recovered, she watched as Nerehc and Sipa were exiting the park, holding hands.
She spat the acorns out of her mouth as Sicnarf returned to her, feeling more relieved than ever. "Well, if a forest don't grow around that tree… Sigh, I don't know what to do with him, Inap. If he doesn't do something, our DNK is through."
"Oh, Nerehc is still just finding himself, he'll come through fer us." Ininap said with sureness. "He's only kiddin' around, that's all."
"How can you even say that the way he treats you, not to mention his girlfriend…"
"Ay know he can be a little… harsh sometimes… but he…he has a real big heart. You just… well, you shoulda heard what 'e told to Ydolem one time."
Downtown Dnalevelc
"So, how 'bout we visit Rainy Monkey Sour Land." Sipa suggested as they walked a city street, tossing curses at people every which way. "You, destroy your priceless collection!" She zapped someone through a window with many fancy vases and china inside. "I was even thinking of getting the place Ganon-oriented too. Get more kids into the religion, you know, I mean what else does that place have to go on? Run over those children." She zapped an innocent driver, who rammed three kids crossing the street.
"That's nice. So um, Christmas is coming soon. Mom's probably not gonna wanna celebrate."
"Why would you?" As they walked, the two passed a church where a pair of eyes peeped from the window. "Those measly god followers are only inspired to be good for the sake of petty clothes and other unsatisfactory presents, and letting some fat stranger break into their houses and steal cookies. And what's this joke about a giant bunny leaving-"
"FRIENDS!" They whipped around to find a brown-skinned man in a white priest's robe and slim black mustache shaped like a 'V'. "Children! Misguided souls! Led astray from your righteous path, but your sanctuary is here, in St. Ollorf's Church of Arceus!"
"Oh, geez." Nerehc sighed. "It's Yevrah Reilicaf, the crazy priest."
"The LORD hath spoken to me, and he hath SEEN YO' SOULS!" exclaimed the priest. "You lost little children have been down the path of evil, but the Lord shall not give up in savin' you from eternal damnation!"
"Even if I was into spiritual stuff, Arceus is dead. But don't worry, I'm sure other children who wanna act like snobs will come here and-"
Reilicaf whipped in front of them, "DON'T you disrespect Him, Little Man! Don't you derogate, or deride! You're in His home, it's your home, too. And He will save your eternal soul."
"He will save your eternal soooooul." The angelic voices sang as the church doors creaked open.
Reilicaf guided them in as he spoke, "Those were the angels of Heaven, kiddies. They Arceus's servants, they gonna help you too, don't worry." He snapped his fingers, lines of candles lighting up at the altar.
"Stand right there at my platform." He danced his way there. "Put your minds at ease! If you relax, I'll be able to give you… all that you will need!" They begrudgingly walked up to the podium. "He sees all yo' do-ing. Even in yo' bedrooms, too. But if you accept Arceus in yo' heart, and soul—Everyone has a soul, Dearie," he whispered to Sipa, "don't worry. Your dream then shall come true. I got Crosses, I got Holy Water, all this cool stuff you should TRY!" He threw a bunch of religious items around.
"And He will save your eternal soul."
"He will SAVE your eternal soul." sang the angels.
"…?" It was then Reilicaf noticed his guests were gone. He caught a glimpse of the front doors closing all the way.
"Honestly, that's one of the reasons I became a Ganonist." Sipa informed as they continued walking. "People like him are so pushy—and when you think about it, we Ganonists are far more accepting than Arceists are. Heck, ever realize how many dark wizards roam the streets here? They aren't afraid to show their selves 'cause most everyone knows the gods never watch this world, so it's left to the demons to do so. I mean, I know I say that races and people are always gonna fight, but at the same time, people are accepted a lot better here than… Nerehc?" She noticed the boy had stopped and was leaning against a streetlight.
"Yeah, but… aside from the prejudice point of view, Arceism isn't so bad. You gotta hand it, they're pretty supportive with each other, and, well… all they really want is to follow the path of good."
"What does that have to do with anything? You know as well as I do that evil hearts are the only ones that accomplish anything, why do you think Aluben got to where she is. That's what you have to do Nerehc. You wanna counter her armies with your own, be ruthless and relentless and force those Nimbi to join you. And heck, why shouldn't you do the same with the Minish, take a few tiny steps 'cross their village on your toesies, they'll know what you got over them."
"Yeah, I-…I suppose…"
"There's nothing to think about it! Anyway, worry about it later. Let's go down to Rainy Monkey Land! There are quite a few spells I planned to test on those rides." >; )
"Heheh, can't wait to see!" ;)
"May I have the honor of being carried by His Highness?" Sipa bowed and held out an arm.
Nerehc took it. "You may." And alighting his shoes with rockets, Nerehc blasted to the heavens.
DNKG flagship
The Dimension Transportifier was completed and hooked onto a huge vessel by the Nainozama, and connected to a huge laser turret on its keel. "So if you've done according to the blueprints, this laser can lock onto any individual on a planet, transport 'em through the gateway, and poof they're gone in another dimension?" Annaira asked Ardnusyrhc.
"M-My scientists never fail at this, yes…"
"Yes, but we can't risk Dear Nerehc burning into soot. Let's see if my cohorts acquired our subject successfully." She implanted coordinates in the ship's large terminal, and a gang of merkids came onscreen. "Greetings, Sector -FIN."
"Yeah, what up, Bloodgirl." greeted Nemas.
"I trust you still have your intruder?"
"Yes, but just a quickie, it won't kill for two, right?" He swam aside, revealing Yddam and Hcaz sealed inside Bubble Prisons.
"The ONE day I decide to swim in mermaid-infested waters to save your butt, and THIS is what happens." Hcaz proclaimed with disgust.
"Well I'M not the one who made you come down here!"
"This could work in our favor." Anna said. "In case one subject dies, we'll have a second chance on the other. Their lives aren't very relevant to us, so we'll lose little. We'll arrive at the atmosphere by Thursday; keep the prisoners until we signal you to bring them to surface."
"Right as you say, Your Shallowness." Elyk bowed, his friends mimicking. "Keep them in the brig, guys." They switched off.
"Siiiigh if only Ainozama ships could go any faster." Anna sighed. "Well, this makes good break time. Bring me my 12-stomach beef." She marched to the kitchen.
Rainy Monkey Sour Land
If there was one park that wasn't good for children, it was one themed around venomous baboons that had blood dripping from their teeth after tearing the heads off of angels. Instead of candy and toys for prizes, it was veggies and law books. The petting zoo bore ancient, gray animals who were allowed to be killed for lunch, and when visitors wanted to mellow out, they could visit the scenic graveyard just to the northeast, with broken stones and half-buried corpses. Yep, it would really be hard to find a happy, cheery face here.
"YEEEEAAAAH!" Only Nerehc and Sipa could bear some as they rode the log-boat down the stream of red "juice", but instead of stopping at the bottom, Sipa cast a charm to make the boat levitate and slam it into a family of three, mother and her son and daughter. Next, they visited the Tunnel of Resent, where within the darkness, Sipa cast spells to make several of the goers unclothe and, get inappropriate. They sat on the front of a roller-coaster screaming to the sky, and Sipa zapped a spell to dislodge their cart from the others, make it move faster, then destroyed the track behind them to injure several.
Next, they were in the bloodbags, equivalent to teacups, but still spinning around and around as Ner and Sip laughed happily. And like before, Sipa cast a spell to make everyone else's bloodbags fly up like rockets, all the way to the clouds before they exploded and rained down blood. They then visited the game 'Shoot the Angels,' using arrow guns to shoot said cardboard creatures, but "Reducto!" Sipa made it a lot easier by destroying the whole stand, claiming the law books, turning them into cotton candy, and letting the two munch. The graveyard was suddenly packed with viewers today when Sipa arrived, having alit several colored torches and performing some kind of magic show that fascinated people. The half-buried corpses rose back to life and began chasing children all throughout the park. Sipa blew the smoke from her wand and exchanged a grin with Nerehc.
The two were on a bench and gazing at the momentarily-clear sky as crows flapped overhead. A bright green light flew from Sipa's wand and caused one of the birds to drop down dead. Nerehc smiled, held the bird above his hand, and cooked it with a violet flame.
They finally rested on a Ferris wheel, rotating at its top as Sipa lied her head on Nerehc's lap, gazing at the stars. "Tell me the Seven Deadly Sins again."
"Ummmm, Gluttony."
Sipa munched off part of the bird. "And?"
"Greed."
Sipa aimed her wand at a lower slot and summoned the money from that person's wallet. "Mm-hm?"
"Sloth."
Having no desire for the bird's leg, she ripped it off, tossed it down, and missed the garbage by a few inches. "Eh."
"Wrath."
The person behind them chucked their soda at him, so out of revenge, Sipa turned his legs limp. "Okay."
"Envy."
She looked at a couple below making out, so furrowing her eyes, she cast a spell to make the male strangle his date.
"Pride."
"I am the best Ganonist in all the planet, I know."
"Aaaaaand Lust."
"More specifically?" inquired Sipa.
"Hm hm, Love." And so, the two embraced in a deep kiss.
"Aaaaaahhh." They sighed once they let go. "When our eternal damnation comes, I'm glad we'll get to live it together." Nerehc said.
"Yeah. Our souls will be so dark, the demons will cower. I can't wait to go to Hell."
"Assuming where we live isn't Hell already, right?"
"I suppose. I mean this world is really boring."
"HA HA hahahahahahaha!" both laughed.
The Ferris eventually stopped as the couple stepped off. "Well, thanks for stopping by Sipa, it's been a blast. Wanna do anything else orrr…"
"No, my grandpa wants me to come and practice rituals. Annoying, but how else am I gonna learn, right? How about this Thursday?"
"It's a date." Nerehc nodded.
"Great! See ya 'round!" Sipa spun around and began to walk away. "Oh… and just one thing." She turned back.
"What's that?"
And with a zap from her wand, Nerehc shrunk down into a beetle. He skittered around mindlessly before Sipa grabbed him in her fingers, studying him closely. "Hmhmhmhm! Just wanted to see you this way. You look so cute and pathetic!" So with that, she flicked him back to the ground. "If you get stepped on, I'll see you in Hell!" And she was gone in a puff of smoke.
After 10 minutes of mindless crawling, Nerehc grew back to normal. "Heh ha heh heh…" He could always expect her good-bye pranks. "…" Putting the humorous smile aside, he kicked on his rocket shoes and flew away from the park. Across the towering buildings of Dnalevelc, Nerehc took land a few blocks from Reilicaf's church, walked to, and stepped inside.
He took a seat in a middle row of the dark church as Reilicaf passed by. "They say no force leads men away more than a woman's charm. So is why the Devil doth taken that form."
Nerehc folded his arms and sat sideways along the bench. "Yeah, except the Devil literally exists inside me and my mom. I don't need to worry 'bout anything like that."
"We all got that voodoo and hoodoo inside us somewhere, Boy. What matters is whether or not, or HOW you intend to use it. As long as you allow Arceus into your heart, your soul may still be pure."
"Yeah, but let's be straight here, Arceus abandoned this world. The gods don't care about us."
"Arceus still exists in your soul, and sooner or later, you will see Him for real. But you mustn't ever forget that, although dark forces dwell inside you, you possess not just Negative blood, but Positive blood, too. And I know your heart draws in only the darkness left here by all those before you. You must not feel ashamed of the light you knowingly bear, of being shunned because it is a way that no one else thinks. And if love really exists in those around you, Arceist or Ganonist, they will understand your feelings, too."
"…In other words… Sipa likes me for who I am or we're through?"
"Ah don't generally approve of your relationship being of my position, but I can't control you. You must decide the outcome of your relationship, as will she. …But advice kid, bring a couple anti-magic charms with you."
"Mmm." Nerehc nodded. Sure enough, Reilicaf knew his stuff. "Well then… I'll be prepared next Thursday."
Above Earth's atmosphere; that Thursday
"We haven't got much time." Annaira announced once their ship finally arrived. "Shoot the subject and move to Nerehc before the Moonbase notices us. It's morning, so he should still be in his home."
The device's terminal zoomed down to a barren part of sea, finding Hcaz tied helplessly to a raft, the merkids watching a few meters away. "For the record, Yddam, dying for you was the LAST way I wanted to go."
"Dimensional coordinates locked." announced an Nainozama scientist. "Target coordinates locked. Preparing countdown. 5… 4… 3… 2…"
On the sea below, Yddam was frantic over what fate would befall her brother. She couldn't let this happen. "…NOOO!" She broke free of the merkids holding her and swam across the water like a dolphin, getting onto the raft.
"Yddam!"
"Quick, let's-" She tried to untie him.
"ONE." A powerful pink beam alit and pierced the gas clouds above, striking the raft with perfect precision. Both kids transformed into energy and flew up through the beam like a vacuum. "AAAAA-AAAAAHHHHH!" The aliens watched as the twins spiraled and swirled into the vortex, vanishing at the same time it did.
"Dimensional Transportification… a success." confirmed the cannoneer.
"Excellent!" beamed Annaira. "Now… our spies say that Nerehc lives in Ainigriv, under Sector -V's treehouse. Begin tracking."
The terminal zoomed around Ainigriv until it discovered the giant metal tree. Zooming closer, on the open window in the house below, was Nerehc on his bed, looking at his cellphone. "Target sighted. Preparing countdown."
EiznekCm Household
"Aroruaaa. Can you tell your brother I got him his favorite bird steak?" Lehcar EiznekCm called upstairs to her daughter.
"I'm a little busy, Mooom." Arorua yelled down, lying on her bed on her front as she read a magazine. "Not talking to Nereeeehhc." she said quietly.
"Arorua! Will I have to come up there MYSELF??"
She sighed. "No, Mom. I'm on it." she called as she grudgingly got out of bed and slumped down the hall.
Inside his room, Nerehc had selected Sipa on his cellphone's contacts, awaiting reply. He heard a knock on his door, "Hey, Stupid, your mom's calling you, get downstairs."
"Tell Mom I'm busy. I'm trying to singe an ant."
"Listen, dumbass," there was a flashing sound just then, and when Nerehc looked at his window, he couldn't gaze at the blinding pink beam for long until it vanquished him, "either you come down or I-" The moment Arorua stepped in, she gasped horrendously when she found a slight puff of smoke on the spot where Nerehc was.
"Aroruaaa. Is everything all right up theeere?"
"Uhhhh, yes, Mother." Arorua said worriedly. "He's just doing homework, and I'm helping him finish."
"Well, tell him to hurry up. A bird's suffering's only tasty if it's nice and hot." As she spoke, Arorua poked her head out Nerehc's window and searched around for him. She leapt out the window and frantically ran around outside, desperate to find him.
Sector -W7 Treehouse
While skimming over incantations in her spellbook, Sipa's cellphone rang a brief second, then stopped. She picked it up and saw Nerehc tried to call her, so she aimed to call back. She held it by her ear for a possible response. "Bee-BEE-BEEEP. The number you have dialed has been zapped to a different dimension." …She would never understand these messed-up landlines.
