Chapter 22: Impressive bullshit

______________________________________________________________________________

* Several thousand years later -

* Discrucis’s POV -

“ After I said that, there was silence for well over a minute. Then out of nowhere I felt death. Death was standing right behind me. Moments later, I heard Diuscrucis talk in a low, blood freezing voice. ‘Mimicking my voice with a straight face’  “Tell me where I can find the fucker that did this to her.”(Samantha)

“Was I really that scary?””(Diuscrucis)

After a second, everyone around me started nodding their heads.

“Why are all of you nodding your heads? You lot weren't even there.”(Diuscrucis)

“Because we all have seen you when you’re angry.”(Death)

“Right…… So now that the reason behind the whole Suzi almost dying thing is all straightened out. Let’s skip like a week and get back to the important stuff.”(Diuscrucis)

“Why a week?”(Cresendo)

“Because the first two days were just me quelling riots, days three and four were me sleeping and being lazy, day five was me finishing off with the riots, day six was spent on me looking into the whereabouts of Greg and day seven is when I found where he was probably located. So we are starting there.”(Diuscrucis)

* Several thousand years earlier -

* In the kitchen of the black castle -

Walking into the kitchen I see three girls eating pancakes shaped like large mouse heads at the only clean counter in the center of the room. The rest of my once clean kitchen is now covered in food and dirty dishes. My marble counters are covered in flour, oil, and pasta sauce. My stainless steel oven and microwave are stained with yellow and green liquids that have ominous red stink lines coming off of them. My sink and a large portion of the floor are covered in dirty dishes. The fridge next to me is open and only the empty water container is inside. Even the small tv next to the fridge wasn’t spared from their unholy campaign through my kitchen. It has stains and a pile of dishes on top of the toaster sized box.

{My gods….. Do they not know how to act like guests?!}(Lulu)

{The least they could do is clean up after themselves, damn!}(Diuscrucis)

Walking to the tv, I take the dishes of it and put them next to the crowded sink without making a single sound. I then leave the room to get mops, buckets, bleach, stain remover, and face masks. Bringing them back into the kitchen, I drop them on the floor and make an announcement to the three people responsible for this mess.

“Alright ladies, I have two pieces of good news. The first one is that I found Greg. He is in a corner of central zone and seems to be busy helping a mad scientist build something for the greater good for all or some shit like that.”(Diuscrucis)

While the girls perform their god killing shrieks and rush over to ask me to help them save Greg. I hop over their heads and take a seat on the mostly clean counter. Putting the rest of their pancakes on one plate I raise my hand to stop their annoying questions.

“I’ll help you with him later. First we need to deal with the second piece of good news. The good news is that you three are willingly going to clean this kitchen until it is spotless before we go.”(Diuscrucis)

“How is that good news!?”(Vali)

“Because I’m not the one who needs to clean up your mess.”(Diuscrucis)

Saying that, I ignore their complaints, summon swords to block their escape out of the kitchen and I start eating the remaining five and a half pancakes.

______________________________________________________________________________

* Two and a half hours later -

After finishing the pancakes, I threw the fork in my hand at the tv to turn it on and then waited close to two hours for everyone to finish cleaning the mess they made. As they are putting the last of the dishes away, I take moment to look at my now spotless kitchen before returning my attention to the news. On the screen there are two men. Both of them are in suits and sitting behind a long table. The one on the left is a pale skin human with combed grey hair and green eyes. The man on the right is a demon with red skin, small black horns, short black hair, and black eyes. The man on the left starts talking about breaking news and the screen behind them changes from saying news to showing an aerial view of west zone. The zone is still being rebuilt but it will look as good as new in a few days.

“So after a week of reverse tracing over a map of west zone and the areas that mark the beginning of the explosions, we uncovered a message to a man that many would call the ruler of the west zone underworld. It starts at the far corner of west zone and ends in the city closest to central zone. This is what the message should read. “Yo, Crow! It’s me, Diuscrucis! You know, the guy who killed you. Well I am just letting you know that I am the one who set off all the explosions in the zone and am arresting every criminal here. I also would like to let you know that I have been taking good care of your daughter while you were away. If you want to stop me and see her then come to my place. I live in the castle at 69 Fuck You! Blvd. and 3rd Cocksuckers street. Do you know the place? It’s right off of Milf avenue and Rapist’s Park. If that doesn’t help then look for the large arrows pointing at my house.” Then there are a circle of arrows pointing at his house.”(Newsman 1)

“That is a long message and if what our new leader of west zone is to be believed then that message is a coincidence.”(Newsman 2)

“That is what they say but many don’t believe that bullshit, myself included. I mean how can that exact message be made by only destroying criminal organizations? That can’t be possible. It’s far more likely that they purposely blew up buildings that way and then planted fake evidence in the wreckage to justify their made up claims.(Newsman 1)

“Or you can be seeing made up conspiracies again. I mean if they really made that message then why did the put the name of Heartfallen’s enforcer instead of Heartfallen herself?”(Newsman 2)

“That’s because she’s the puppet ruler! The real leader is none other than the enforcer himself!...”(Newsman 1)

Before I could continue listening to the newsman’s nonsense, the floor above me shakes heavily and I swear I could hear a menacing scream and fading footsteps.

‘Yelling’ “I recommend you ladies stop cleaning and get behind cover. Now!”(Diuscrucis)

Hearing my shout the girls panic and drop everything that’s in their hands. They then drop down and hide in the cabinets below the counters. Seconds later I hear running footsteps coming and stopping over my head.

“SENSEEEIIIIIII!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!”(Tomo) ‘Boom’ ‘Crumble’

Hearing Tomo’s slightly deeper voice and her bloodthirsty scream, I dive off the counter just in time to avoid a hammer to the face and debris to my balls. After a quick flip in the air and landing a few feet away from the destroyed counter, Stare into a cloud of dust and see a tall muscular figure using the hammer in there right hand to stand up to their full height.

{Well it looks like Tomo finished evolving.}(Lulu)

{Ya she finished evolving but, did she succeed in keeping her sanity?}(Diuscrucis)

Waiting for the smoke to clear I see the figure turn around at look at me with burning brown eyes that look like they have a fire behind them based on the ominous glow they are giving off. ‘Swoosh’ ‘Ting’ With a quick swing of Albion, Tomo places it down and looks at me with a rather angry look on her face. Taking a closer look at Tomo I see a lot of her outer changes. She now stands at 6 and a half feet tall with light brownish cream skin with a dark red tinge to it. Her orange hair is shorter from its previous length. It went from halfway down her back to just past her shoulders. Her hair is also several shades lighter at the tips. I can’t see past her clothes but from what I can tell, she is in much better shape than she was a few days ago. She is wearing a white shortsleeve shirt and jeans.

“You know you're paying for the damages you caused right?”(Diuscrucis)

‘Twitch’ “Why did you blow up west zone?”(Tomo)

“I didn’t.”(Diuscrucis)

“Are you saying someone else did?”(Tomo)

“Yes.”(Diuscrucis) ‘Boom’ ‘Crash’ ‘Brrrrrrrrrr’ ‘Cough’

Immediately after I gave my answer, I was hit by something blunt and hard. The force and strength behind it caused me to fly through the air and through my summoned swords before I managed to plant my feet into the ground and slow down my extreme momentum. Pulling my legs out from the holes they were in, I look at the twelve foot long crevice that I created to slow myself down. I also see Tomo walking towards me menacingly. Finishing pulling out my legs that were knee deep into the ground, I immediately cough up several mouthfuls of blood as I try to regenerate 18 of my broken ribs. After healing my wounds I change my height to match Tomo’s and reinforce my bones and skin with steel.

“You said that you wouldn’t blow it up since I won the fight.”(Tomo)

“I didn’t.”(Diuscrucis)

“Then does that mean you let whoever blew it up go without trying to stop them?”(Tomo)

“Yes.”(Diuscrucis) “Boom’ ‘Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr’ ‘Bam’ ‘Crash’

Making the same mistake twice, Tomo hits me again just under my jaw and collarbone simultaneously without hitting my neck. This sent me through the air and halfway into the floor. With my chest half way above the second floor’s floor, I continue to blow through it until I hit the wall that is close to fifty feet away. After hitting it I fall to the floor and get up shortly after while avoiding coughing up another mouthful of blood.

{Holy shit Dad! She is moving so fast that we can’t even register it and her strength is insane. We don’t stand a chance at fighting her. Also, you should have seen that attack coming.}(Lulu)

{Well at least we know she didn’t go insane. I also need to choose my next words very carefully so I can avoid getting killed. I reinforced my skin and bones through shapeshifting and I still ended up swallowing more than half of my shattered teeth.}(Diuscrucis)

“Why?”(Tomo)

“I didn’t stop the bombing because Death was the one who blew it up and the last time I checked, I can’t kill Death.”(Diuscrucis)

‘Blank stare’ “........... ‘Nervous laughter’ ‘Apologetic face’ Sorry about that Sensei. I guess I got a bit riled up after hearing the news from the tv in my room.”(Tomo)

“Have you been up all day?”(Diuscrucis)

“Only for the last hour or so….”(Tomo)

“I see.”(Diuscrucis)

Hearing that I fall to the floor and lean my back on the wall.

“So….. Care to explain how you have a protag power boost?”(Diuscrucis.)

“I think this will be a lot easier if I just show you this.”(Tomo)

‘Slightly annoyed voice’ {I call bullshit.}(Lulu)

“Nice status and……… You love me?”(Diuscrucis)

“... So who are the three women hiding over there?”(Tomo)

I’ll take that as a yes.

“They are the girls who used to hang around Greg.”(Diuscrucis)

“Wait. Why are those three here?”(Tomo)

“They want your help saving Greg from himself.”(Diuscrucis)

“Ok. So, let’s go kick his ass and bring him back here…….. Do you know where he is Sensei.”(Tomo)

“I was actually about to head there before you started attacking me. Want to come?”(Diuscrucis)

“Sure thing.”(Tomo)

Standing up, Look past Tomo and towards the kitchen.

‘Holler’ “Vali, Akane, Lora. I am heading out for a bit. Try not to die while I’m gone.”(Diuscrucis)

I then grab Tomo’s shoulder and teleport us to a factory that is a few miles outside central zone. When we arive, we are standing next to a huge crater located where the factory used to be. The crater is nearly a half a mile wide and several hundred feet deep. Inside the crater are huge rocks and pieces of metal next to large broken computers.

“Sensei…….”(Tomo)

“Ya Tomo.”(Diuscrucis)

“Look behind you.”(Tomo)

Turning around, I see a giant robot walking away with large, slow steps. It stands close to a hundred meters tall and it is making zero noise as it moves toward west zone. After staring at it for a second, I look back at the crater and then back towards the walking robot.

{Lulu. You don’t think…?}(Diuscrucis)

{Knowing our luck. Probably.}(Lulu)

{This is bullshit!}(Diuscrucis)

{It’s also impressive. I mean it’s only been a week.}(Lulu)

{It’s still bullshit!}(Diuscrucis)

“Alright Tomo. Change of plans.”(Diuscrucis)

“Why? What happened?”(Tomo)

“That giant robot over there is responsible for destroying the factory and knowing my luck, It’s probably also being driven by your brother.”(Diuscrucis)

“I don’t see how that changes our plan. Just destroy the robot and drag my brother out of the wreckage. Easy.”(Tomo)

“Hold on. I just want to say that destroying that thing is not going to be easy. It looks like it got some upgrades since I last fought it and last time I only won by dying with the damn thing. So I highly doubt we can take it on as we are now.”(Diuscrucis)

“How do you suggest we beat it then?”(Tomo)

“Simple. I make a mech and kick his ass with it.”(Diuscrucis)

“You make it sound so easy. Do you even know how to make a mech?”(Tomo)

“I have absolutely no idea.”(Diuscrucis)

‘Facepalm’ “Why not just make a superweapon?”(Tomo)

“Because this is a perfect excuse to have my very first mech fight and I am not losing it because of some convenient thing called logic! Who knows when I will have another chance at something like this!”(Diuscrucis)

‘Blank stare’ “..............’(Tomo)

“Listen Tomo. Don’t worry about it. Just head back to the castle and train the three girls there on how to fight while I do everything else.”(Diuscrucis)

“Why do I have to train them?!”(Tomo)

‘Looking at her like she’s an idiot’ “Because I’m building a mech to kick your brother’s ass. That’s why.”(Diuscrucis)

With a few mumbles, Tomo teleports away. After waiting a few seconds to take a few deep breaths and making sure all my wounds are healed, I teleported to Hell. Appearing in a red hallway that is lined with decorated pillars, I spread my legs a bit and brace for impact while Lulu screams in my mind.

‘Screaming’ {DAD! SOMETHING DARK AND MALEVOLENT IS RUSHING AT US AT AN UNGODLY SPEED.}(Lulu)

{Stop panicking Lulu. It’s just Suzi.}(Diuscrucis)

‘In a low and calm voice’ “This is going to hurt….”(Diuscrucis)
