56 - Trouble in the Underworld

Deep in the depths of the underworld, the Demon King sat on his throne. He had wavy black hair that covered one of his eyes. His shown eye was piercing red. He had his leg over his other and was resting his head on his fist.

Three demons run into his chamber, all wearing pink cloaks that covered their heads. Their faces were obscured by their hoods, but red demon horns poked out of the hoods. They bowed before a small staircase that led to his throne. "Your great demon-ness. The annual race in the upper domain is happening again!"

The Demon King slammed his fist on his throne in rage. "Which section in the domain is it happening in?" he asked angrily.

"We don't know, but we know it's in one near the top of the ultimate ensemble of sections." one of the demons said, looking up a bit.

The Demon King snarled and shouted, "EVERY YEAR THIS RACE THREATENS TO DESTROY THE UNDERWORLD BECAUSE THAT DAMN RACE CAR DRIVER FROM MYANMAR IS TOO FAST!"

The second demon looked up at him and said, "Yes. We are aware. We should try to create magical pillars to stabilize the underworld."

"NO!" The Demon King yelled. The demon recoiled in fear. The Demon King then reached out his hand. "FIND THEM AND STOP THIS RACE!" he commanded.

They all stood up and the third demon spoke, saying, "But Lord. We can't go to the upper domain. Our power is too great. The spiritual energy keeping the ultimate ensemble domain alive would weaken and cause it to eventually be destroyed."

The Demon King clicked his tongue and replied, "Our world is being threatened by them constantly. It's time for them to learn their lesson." he then sighed and continued, "But that's beside the point. Keep the upper domain alive if you can. Just kill the race car drive."

They gulped in fear and the Demon King pointed at the middle demon and said, "Go out into the courtyard. The first demon you see will be your leader."

"Yes, my lord." He said with a nervous bow. He ran out to the courtyard, and within and few seconds pushed another demon in the chamber. It was a scared looking girl wearing the same pink cloak and demon horns poking through the hood. She had short blue hair and blue eyes. "W..what's going on?" she asked with fear in her voice.

"This was the first demon I found my lord. I believe her name is Malum." the demon said. The Demon King looked disappointed, but spoke saying, "Whatever. It's good enough. Just go to that world now!" He then pointed to the ground and summoned a glowing pentagram.

"Get all members of the demon army to go into this pentagram. It's a portal." The Demon King concluded.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Malum looked around with a horrified look. "I still don't know what's going on!" she cried.

Meanwhile, Octopus Man drove the group to the stadium. "Welp here we are!" he shouted happily. "So, what time exactly is the race starting." Cutecumber asked.

"Only in a few minutes." Pepperoni said, leaning against their car. They all screamed in shock, not knowing how he got there so fast.

"How did you get here?" Floran asked. "We gotta support you, duh." Pepperoni replied with a smile, pointing back to Shoobeeshwas and Ocean smiling and waving at them.

Lusha popped up from the other side, causing them to scream and shock again. "I'm here too." she said. She then pulled Emberlyn out of nowhere and said, "She's here too." Emberlyn waved with a small smile.

"Well, it's nice to know we have supporters." Brazilian Bug Boy said.

"Yeah, well you'll need all the help you can get." Pepperoni said. "You see, not only is Kate Myanmar participating, but the last place losers have to take a shower in piranha juice." he concluded.

"Mmm. Sounds yummy." Kookakoo said.

"So, your 4th member isn't going to cheer us on?" Cutecumber asked, tilting her head a bit. Pepperoni looked away and replied, "Well, like I said, she's doing her own thing."

Meanwhile, 04 was shoving one of the soldiers' head into a pile of ducks. "NO! NOT DUCKS! PLEASE STOP!" he begged. 04 looked at him with a horrifying glace and replied, "You think this is all fun and games? You're slacking off. Everyone else here can breakdance except you. What type of soldier are you if you can't breakdance!" She then continued stuffing his face into a pile of ducks as he screamed for mercy.

"You know, you never told us the 4th members name." Brazilian Bug Boy said.

Pepperoni smiled and scratched his head. "Oh yeah. Her name is Ofor." he responded. "Well yeah, we know she is 04, but what is her name?" Brazilian Bug Boy asked.

"Her name is Ofor." Pepperoni replied. "I KNOW THAT, BUT WHAT IS HER NAME?" Brazilian Bug Boy shouted again.

"HER NAME IS OFOR!" Pepperoni shouted back. Brazilian Bug Boy looked furious and said, "I KNOW THAT BUT..."

Octopus Man then cut off the argument saying, "Oh look, the cars are lining up." He then hit the gas and drove right the starting area.

They were near the back of the line. Cutecumber pointed to the front to a girl with yellow hair, red extensions, and green bangs wearing a white dress. "Look, that must be Kate Myanmar!" she stated.

Floran rolled her eyes. "Even the colors of the flag? This can't be coincidental." she mumbled to herself. She looked to the side and gasped in shock when she saw the people riding next to them.

The driver was Scratchy. He was looking at them with a sinister smile. In the back were Jinjin and Mimi. "We're gonna beat you and wish for Xanthe to come back to life with infinite power! She'll surely kill you then!" Scratchy yelled.

"How do you even have a car?" Brazilian Bug Boy asked. Mimi reached down and pulled out Sleeping Dude. "We broke him out of prison, and he dreamed up this car for us." she said, taunting him by sticking her tongue out.

"I JUST WANNA KILL THEM!" Cutecumber yelled unexpectedly. "Woah woah, settle down. What's gotten into to you?" Floran and Brazilian Bug Boy said trying to calm her down. "Sorry guys. I just got a little worked up." Cutecumber said with a sigh.

Kookakoo looked at Octopus Man and said, "Those guys in the back are so immature." Octopus Man nodded and replied, "Yeah. They should take a note out of our book and be mature for once."

"Exactly." Kookakoo responded. She pulled out a biscuit that was on a plate and started elegantly cutting it with a fork and knife.
