Later that noon. The Ques were hung over and sleeping. Eiffel was brooming the mansion's main hall, Grate was mopping its floor, and they were also picking up gold corn.
"Man, what a weird party. I've never seen this many poops before.", Grate stated.
"These are not poop, these are corns.", said Eiffel.
"But these look like poop.", said Grate.
"...but man, what just went through.", Eiffel was thoughtful.
"Yeah, man...", Grate agreed with him.
Then they remembered the fight between Masquerade and Muscleverse. There were 7 Ques but 6 Verses, and even after Muscleverse was outnumbered, they were putting up a great fight. Jack, Richard, Adam, Marlin, Busquets, Duncan, and Bumcan vs Rocky, Dew, Gunther, Lou, Bruno, and Toubro. The Verses were mostly wrestler types. Rocky took down Duncan and Bumcan with a double clothesline followed by german suplexes to both of them. Unlike other Ques that were brawlers, Jack was a great martial artist and he was keeping up a good fight against Rocky, Richard was backing him up and evading Dew from coming close, showing a great team bonding between himself and Jack. Adam was fighting Gunther who was a boxer and managed to land some body shots on him. Marlin and Busquets were fighting Lou and Bruno. Toubro was the weakest Verse who tried to help out Dew and Rocky, but he was knocked down by Richard easily.
Meanwhile from inside Masquerade's mansion, the Queens and their pledges, and the noobs were watching the fight.
"Hey, Velvet! Tell your boyfriend to stop fighting!" Maria urged Velvet, Jack's girlfriend.
"Oh yeah? Why don't you tell your boyfriend to stop? They are the ones to invade the party!", Velvet replied angrily to Maria who was the girlfriend of Rocky.
"What did you just say!?", Maria barked.
"Hey! Don't take this matter upon yourselves! This is their fight and they are fighting for us Queendom. Then again, If any of us wants to stop them then you do it, Maria.", Quinn suggested.
"What!?", Maria was furious.
"You are the sorority's president.", said Quinn. Maria stayed silent upon hearing it, calmed down, and sighed.
The fight continued. Rocky dropped Jack with a belly-to-belly suplex and Richard with a massive clothesline. Jack tried to get up and went to retaliate, but Toubro came out of nowhere and was about to take him down. Suddenly, Eiffel appeared and sucker punched Toubro and knocked him out.
"Look, Rocky! See who it is?", Dew said to Rocky.
"Eiffel! That freshy again?! With the Ques!!!???", Rocky was furious.
"He must have pledged Masquerade.", said Gunther.
"Funny that you guys own this many poops... Tell me... Are they all from your personal stash, Rocky? Or did you pull a dozen out of Dew's *beep*, too?", Eiffel joked.
"Ohhhhhhh!", the Ques reacted.
"I thought I told you to stay inside.", Jack said to Eiffel.
"Yeah, I had to make a call.", Eiffel joked.
"Hey, stop it, you two! You are fighting like children! Behave like adults every once in a while!", Maria came out and yelled at them.
"Shut up, Babe! Let's go!", Rocky scolded her.
"Yes, I am going, Rocky. Jeez! What the hell were you thinking? You could have hurt someone!", Maria answered getting irritated. Then she and Rocky were leaving.
"Typical Masquerade!!! Always stealing what's ours!", Dew shouted.
"Get *beep*! They're here because they want to be! Times are changing! You guys are out, we are in!", Jack stated.
"Stay the hell away from Queendom or next time it won't be corns coming through the windows!", Dew stated and then Muscleverse left. Queendom was leaving as well. Jack and Velvet stared down at each other as she was leaving.
"The girls are leaving.", said Marlin.
"*beep* Muscleverse!", Jack became furious.
Flashback ended and back to the present.
Richard came in and started helping them out. "Richard, where do you want us to put these poops?", asked Grate.
"Give them to Marlin. He will save them until we plan our revenge.", said Richard.
"See?", Grate taunted Eiffel who gave an annoyed expression.
"So we are getting them back?", Eiffel asked Richard.
"Of course!", Richard ensured.
"Hey... I'm not completely sure about all this.", Eiffel told Richard.
"What's wrong? I thought you wanted this.", Richard asked.
"You guys are so mean... You guys poisoned me with alcohol, made me unconscious, tied me up on a chair in my *beep* underwear and blindfolded me, then gave me an ass whipping of a lifetime.", Eiffel confronted him.
"What? Hold up. First off, that whipping thing... Yeah, it sucks. But it's tradition. And we take traditions very seriously around here. Just ask Marlin how it is... When he did his initiation, he was arrested. He was mad as hell and he wanted to beat the *beep* out of us. But he sucked it up and if you ask him today... It's one of his fondest memories of this place. It gets tough at times, especially early on... But we are not evil, we are a family. And just like real brothers, we occasionally give each other a hard time. But we still love each other. Once you're a Que, you'll be treated as an equal and you'll get friends for life. So, sorry about the tradition rubbing you the wrong way. It's a way to thin out the herd. If there's a slightest part of you who wants this, just shrug it off and push on. I think you'd look really badass in one of these jackets. Oh, and that alcohol thing. I've no clue what you are talking about. We asked Marlin to bring you guys here. That's all I know.", Richard convinced him.
"I didn't know he'd pass out that easily.", said Marlin from his room.
"Oh... Well, there's a part of me that wants this... And it's a great way of thanking Grate for helping me.", Eiffel calmed down.
"Just enjoy it, dude. You'll remember these days for the rest of your life.", Richard motivated him.
"Oh! And also... I was wondering since I'm a pledge-", said Eiffel.
"A noob.", Richard cut him off.
"Since I'm a noob and all...", Eiffel said anxiously.
"I know you want to, but you can't stay in this house.", Richard made it up before Eiffel confessed.
"Why not?", Eiffel asked.
"You know. Masquerade's rules.", said Richard.
"But after I become a Que, I'll get a room, right?", Grate asked.
"Absolutely.", said Richard.
"Well, let's discuss it when I become a Que, then.", said Eiffel.
"I think the noob here meant to say 'If I become a Que'. Blood Games is coming up. I expect you to fail miserably.", Jack came in and made a statement.
"Blood games? What does that mean?", Grate asked.
"If you thought getting your ass whipped in the middle of a dark and cold night half naked was bad... Prepare yourselves! You're in for a treat...ment!", Jack stated.
"I thought you were sleeping?", Rusty asked Jack.
"I'll sleep when I'm dead... *beep* Muscleverse! They had to ruin the party.", Jack was furious.
"It's going worse every week since last semester.", said Richard.
"This time they went too *beep* far!", Jack was enraged.
"What's the deal with you guys and Muscleverse?", Eiffel asked.
"Well, it's-", Rusty was about to say something but Jack cut him off.
"Hey, that's my story. I'll tell it.", Jack was being arrogant then turned to the noobs and said, "Gather around, noobs. It's history time! For thousands of years-"
"One year.", Rusty corrected.
"...Muscleverse and Masquerades have been at war...", said Jack.
"Been mad with Jack.", Marlin's said from his room.
"Hey, Shut up!", Jack responded to Marlin in anger then continued, "Before that, Masquerade, Muscleverse, and Queendom used to party together. They'd invite us to their party and we'd invite them to ours. Until one fateful cold Friday night, there was this new Queen named Sulci."
"Sulci? That must be the prom girl Duncan and Bumcan were talking about!", Eiffel thought.
"She was all bored, sat alone, and ready to leave. In came a charming and valiant Que. He said 'Come follow me and I'll show you a trick'. He made her laugh and he made her cry. They spent a great time together that night. But he was unaware that Sulci was Dew's girl. What he had done wasn't proven so wise. Muscleverse soon found out and gathered his pals. They beat the poor Que and told him 'No one *beep* with our gals'. That marked the start of the thousand-year war. It all started at that small sorority they call Queendom. Jack messed with Dew's girl and he beat Jack for it.", Jack finished his story.
"Wow!", Eiffel was dumbfounded and stated, "Moral of the story; I gotta stay away from Sulci." They laughed.
"Enough chatting! Noobs! You have work to do! These gold corns aren't gonna pick themselves up. After that, it's time for you noobs to get the hell out of here!", Jack left after saying it.
"See?", this time Eiffel taunted Grate who gave an annoyed expression.
After work at the mansion, Eiffel and Grate were leaving.
"Isn't this exciting?", said Grate while holding a gold poop over Eiffel's shoulder, "Just think about the parties we will have in there! Booze all over! Girls everywhere! And did you see that new hot girl, Arumi? I know you're the booty-boi, but boy... I wouldn't mind using her as my own personal bounty castle."
"Yeah, she's alright.", said Eiffel.
"Hey, I saw you talk to Quinn. Do you have a plan for her?", Grate asked.
"What do you mean by that?", Eiffel got confused.
"A plan for our revenge!", Grate urged.
"Why?", Eiffel asked.
"Well, she was the one to give you an ass whipping of a lifetime.", said Grate.
"I've no issues with that. But I gotta do something about Irene and Twinkle pledging Queendom.", Eiffel worried.
"That's right. For that, I have the perfect idea for her.", said Grate.
"Do I want to know what it's about?", Eiffel asked.
"Did you hear Jack talking about Blood Games earlier? The Ques were talking about it at the party. They all played it when they were noobs, right?", Grate stated.
"So... How is this connected with your revenge?", Eiffel asked.
"I heard there's a task called Steal a Queen's clothes.", said Grate.
"...wait a minute! You want us to steal Quinn's clothes!?", Eiffel startled.
"Yes, B-Boi and G-Boi are operating on the same *beep* wavelength!", Grate was hyped up.
"You call yourself G-Boi?", Eiffel asked.
"Yes. I always hit the spot.", Grate cheered up.
"You're an idiot. I can't believe you are talking about stealing again. You already stole their clothes.", Eiffel was disgusted as Grate laughed.
"So, what's your plan for today?", Grate asked.
"No more plans. I'm retired for today.", Eiffel sounded tired.
"Me and my roommate are going to Metropolis this afternoon. Wanna join us?", Grate asked.
"No, man. I didn't have enough sleep last night. I gotta sleep for the rest of the day.", Eiffel yawned.
"Come on! It's the new year!", Grate urged.
"Have fun, G-boi.", said Eiffel.
The Hunting Party (HP for short) is the police force for the supernaturals, also known as the anti-dystopian task force, which is a constituted body of persons empowered by a state, intending to enforce the law, to ensure the safety, health, and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder especially of the supernaturals. They are the protectors of the world protecting citizens all around the globe. One needs to pass the Ordinary Level exam in the Black House to become a Hunting Party officer.
Above them are Sector officers. A Sector officer's area is based in a town of a city. More than 50 officers work under one single Sector officer.
Territory officers look over territories that consist of multiple towns and they lead all the Sector officers in their area.
Region officers look over cities or districts and lead all the Territory officers in their area.
Area officers look over states that consist of multiple districts and lead all the Region officers in their area.
Country officers look over countries and lead all the Area officers in their area.
Above all else are the World officers and they look over the world and lead all the Country officers under their regime.
Every officer has their own targets and they get incentive upon capturing their targeted criminals and accomplishing the missions that HP management tasks them. Different ranks of officers hunt down different ranks of criminals on the Most Wanted List and different ranks of missions that are given to them.
Sector officers target Rank 751 to 1000 of the wanted criminals and they are given D-rank missions.
Territory officers target Rank 501 to 750 and they are given C-rank missions.
Region officers target Rank 251 to 500 and they are given B-rank missions.
Area Officers target Rank 11 to 250 and they are given A-rank missions.
Country Officers target Rank 4 to 10 and they are given S rank missions. They can also target the top 3 as well. Country Officers work directly under World Officers and their respective Country Presidents.
World Officers target the Top 3 of the Most Wanted Criminals in the world.
Hunting Party has its training department called Black Friday 13 and each country has its national trainer.
Meanwhile in Memoria, HP Headquarters, a funeral was being held for Sector officer Lincoln, Territory officer Arthur, and the fallen officers. The officers were chitchatting,
-"Lincoln Boss and Arthur Boss are dead, huh?"
-"So what supernatural this time?"
-"The bodies had bite marks on the neck." -"Vampires, huh? Must be a strong one. Anyone from the wanted list?"
-"Unknown... Heard they were killed after the sunrise."
-"*disbelief* It can’t be a Vampire!"
-"Then either the Vampire is dead or it could be an Exa Ranked Vampire."
-"Exa Rank?! Dracula can't be back from the dead, can he?"
Hunting Party also ranks criminals based on strength and power and they are ranked in tiers, from low to high, such as Mega, Giga, Tera, Peta, Exa, Zetta, Yotta, Ronna, and Quetta.
-"Hundreds of officers died, hundreds of officers replaced. The reason is the same; that same mark on the neck over and over. But the murderer remains unknown since day one."
-"Is it the same vampire over and over again?"
-"Damn Those Blood Suckers! The Supernaturals were under control when the Iron Club was around."
-"To eliminate them, we have to destroy the realms but The HP isn’t strong enough!"
All of a Sudden one Executive spoke up, "HP isn’t strong enough, eh?"
Officers directly working under the World Field Officer (WFO) are called HP Executives. It was the WFO's right-hand man; Executive Vulture Raconteur.
"Executive Vulture Boss?!", Officers responded with fear.
"You think the HP isn’t strong enough that’s because you are not strong enough. You lack knowledge about our history. We are the Saviors of the World. The era of the Kings of Empyrium is over. War is determined by the number of manpower, not by the power of a single man. We have more than enough manpower to defeat any realms we want to, even if that is the Godfather of the Underworld himself; Krizal.", Vulture made a bold statement.
Krizal is the Rank #1 Most Wanted Criminal in the World.
