Time of Darkness

[Ta-Chan]

Pleinair stood over the unfortunate cat boy's body.
"...Hold these" She said as she Unloaded all the items she was holding and took her fully loaded gun out of Usagi's bag she put on the ground. She walked closer to Etna
"...Calm down, Etna" She said as she fired off two bullets, obliterating the sharp, possibly painful end of the spear.
"...I'll buy you a replacement later" She said as she went back to where the boy tripped and grabbed her bag

. . .

 

[Black Rose Witch]

Etna tried to kill the stupid infuriating boy, but then Pleinair came and shot of the end of the lance, allowing him escape. But she wouldn't be down so easily. "PRINNIES MY SECOND LANCE!" And in seconds she had another brand new one. Sasuke followed behind her, trying not to get noticed or killed, he was only there in case something really bad happened. She ran after the boy and confronted 3 big demons, who looked like they wanted to kill the boy too. "You fools! You don't get him I do!" And with that she flew past them elegantly, and in her place were three cleanly cut bodies. "Wow, she sure is a monster when she's mad." Sasuke thought from the shadows close by. He saw Plenair save the boy. After all the killing Etna was still a little crazy but she was calming down. This was his cue. Sasuke ran out and up to Etna. "Come on you don't need to kill him he might be useful." She pondered that and finally everyone caught up to Plenair and company, leaving the bodies behind.

Picking his face out of the ground, he shook his head to get rid of the dust particles in his hair and ears. His tail moving about frantically, as usual. Looking around he saw the girl from earlier, Pleinair, and was relieved. However, his smile was wiped away by the approaching girl from before, looking ready to kill. He saw behind her the slain trackers from before, and although greatful they wouldn't be bothering him anymore, he was worried as to what she would do to him.

However, the red head's companion caught up and spoke to her, seemingly calming her fury as she walked toward them more calmly and stood there. If she was gonna kill me, she would have done so already...looks like she calmed down, which means this is my chance...

"Well then, I thank you for getting rid of these thugs, they were very persistant in their attempts to force me to join them. And, I am sorry for earlier. Like I said, my tail is uncontrollable so at times it brings me quite the bad luck." Zu Zu said, bowing his head in respect and turning to Pleinair, "And for you Pleinair, you can keep all that stuff I gave you for causing you so much trouble, seems only fair! And unless you have more business for me, I'll be off?"

 

[Black Rose Witch]

Etna listened to Zu Zu's pleads for forgiveness, and sighed. Then she brightened a little. While Sasuke sat behind her, relieved she was calmed. "It serves him right, she is Beauty Queen Etna, she kills anything in her way." He thought to himself, making sure to stay behind her and tend to what was left of the prinny squad, which un fortunately wasn't very many. "Well, I will forgive you, as long as you become my vassal for all ETRENITY!" Etna laughed and pulled her lance out, pushing its deadly point right up agains't Zu Zu's neck. "So, will you care to join us? Sasuke can show you the ropes." She snickered and looked over at Pleinair. "Your lucky I like you Pleinair. I could have killed you along with this boy." She pushed the point closer to his skin. "So how about for the rest of the night, we all forget everything and party at a bar or something?" She asked cheerfully, despite the lance being so close to Zu Zu's neck. Sasuke poofed and teleported right over by Pleinair. "So I take it you are Pleinair. And who is this?" He asked looking at Zu Zu and his crazy tail flop around.

 

[Ta-Chan]

Pleinair was confused as to what to say. She definately was glad to have food, but know she didn't know what to do, And if Etna knew of her plans to be overlord she could be killed.
"Where are ya going? Hey! You should come with us! We can save you if your tail gets the best of you, again, it'd be great!" Pleinair felt like punch Usagi again, But she needed someone to keep her from going insane from being with Usagi all the time.
"It'd be fun! and I like you, your funny!"Usagi went on and on.
"...We're not really going anywhere anyway, just travelling. It'd be nice to have you." Pleinair flickered a quiet smile.

[TheBane]

Zen was entering the town when he saw three demon bodies freshly cut on the road.
This just keeps on getting better and better. But hopefully all of the demons don't get killed in the struggle for overlord. Then I wouldn't have any contestants for my Death Dome.
He started to head down a alley to go look for some info about any fights he could win in, but was stopped by the sight of a cat demon, a red head surrounded by Prinnies and a blue haired girl that was talking to the cat demon.
Zen stopped dead and wondered if the group would break out in or lead him to a fight for overlord. So he quickly jumped high into the air thanks to his wind magic and landed softly and quietly onto a building above the scene. From here he noticed a ninja that was talking to the red head.
I'm gonna have to be careful around him, he might give me away. Hopefully he doesn't, or else I might have to kill him.
At that moment, the red head shouted something and pressed her lance next to the cat demon's neck.
I think I picked the right group! Or not...
The blue haired girl was looking like she was trying to stop what was about to happen. Then a little white puff apeared out of a bag she was holding and joined in.
Aw, no killing. Well anyway, this group is looking like a fun one. I guess I'll just tag along for a while to see if I'm right.

 

[DJQuackQuack]

Great...I go from one group of people trying to force me to join them to another...so close to getting away...but once again, I have an idea! Looking up at the one known as Etna, he slowly backed away from the spear in order to avoid being beheaded, although he didn't have much room to back into to since he was getting closer to the wall.

"Hey, come on, no need for violence now! I am but a humble Cleric, my job is to heal those in need, not fight. I doubt I'd be able to help you and besides..." Zu Zu slowly went silent, trying to think of a plan to get out of this, "...I already promised Pleinair here I'd work with her! Yeah, that's it!" Jumping up, he ran over to the blue haired girl and put his hand on her shoulder. "I owe this one here known as Pleinair a fortune, so it would be impossible to join you as much as I would want to, until my debt to her is payed off! Isn't that right Pleinair?"

Here he nudged her in the side, hoping she would catch on to his scheme so that he wouldn't be forced to fight. This plan should work, it seems Etna has some respect for Pleinair so she would have no choice but to accept the fact I am already on a team! Perfect plan as always...I hope...

 

[Ta-Chan]

He's putting me on the spot...
"...Yes, I came here to meet up with him, He's being too slow on his payments so he is now my vassal for 1000 years or until is debt is payed off... I hope you understand. I'm afraid if I let him go he may never pay me back. Pleinair explained, Even herself amazed at her speech.
"Usagi likes him too much though, he wanted us to ask instead of demand."Pleinair punched Usagi, who snapped into action
"Th-That's right! I'm not exactly a demon so I have such polite manners, please forgive me Etna. I'll change to become a better demon in your imageUsagi hastily gushed.
"...Now if you don't mind, my vassal and I are on our way." Pleinair grabbed the cat demon and quickly cleaned off the soda still on Etna's face.
"Take care." She said and ran off into the distance with her new vassal

. . .

 

[TheBane]

Zen watched and listened to the the blue haired girl talk about some unpaid debts and the cat demon having to be her vassal until they are repaid and took off with the cat demon.
Aww, no action? Well, I guess I better stick with either the red head or the blue haired girl. Aw, what the hay, I'll go with the redhead since she seems to be a bit more lively.
Zen stood up and dusted himself off. There he stood, waiting for what the red head would do.

 

[Chaos]

[Neku99]

Bang!

"Gotcha!"

Blaise lowered his revolver and ran through the lush trees to his fallen prey. He was hunting for rabbits but he got bigger game, a wild and very rare silver wolf.

"Hehe this should sell for a great price anywhere! Ok time to go to town," Blaise said in excitement. Silver wolves are rare almost unseen anywhere you look but then Blaise hit the jackpot. He was so happy and really wanted to head straight to town. Blaise knelt a little and grabbed the wolf and raised it to his back.

"ARG! this is heavier than I expected. AHHHHH!!!" He exclaimed as he carried the 6 foot long wolf on his back. As you now know this very exquisite and rare specie...is excruciatingly heavy but you know what they say "Money...Money...Money!!!"...or was that Blaise?​

 

[UnnamedPerson]

After Travelling around for the last few days Erason had finally arrived in a small town. He noticed two groups of people as he started to walk through, and he could feel some tension in the air. "I wonder if they've just been fighting" he thought to himself, but couldnt fathom why none were dead yet.
"Well if they have plans similar to mine, i may have to meet them, learn about them, and in the end.... I will kill them and become the overlord" He thought as he wandered over to the group with the young blue haired girl, and raised his voice "I am Erason, and I want to know who is leading this group, and if possible, may i please join you?"... Watching them, he waitied hesitantly for an answer...

 

[Lone]

Frau was just getting into town. His sack was empty of food and he was tired from all the fights he had while out in the forest making his way here. He knew of an inn and a tavern near the center of town. He walked around town looking at shops and buildings scoping them outin case his fight would be big enough to have to be brought to this part of town. He was rounding a bin heading towards the inn and tavern when he found himself standing in a large but pread out crowd of demons. He watched as a girl and a cat demon ran off into town as they said there goodbyes to the large group. The others seemed a little upset she left. He slowly walked into the open and stood near the red haired girl. He then saw many other people around but where either hiding or getting ready to come out.

______________________


Alice sat in her house, a large but nice house. It was a one story house but it had many rooms much like an inn. Her mother a mage had made ahouse that looked small on the inside but huge on the inside, even Alice hadnt seen all the rooms in the entire house it was so large. She knew that soon demons from around would come to this field to fight and she worried that her house would get destroyed in the fights. She also knew that some of the demons who wouldnt fight would come and watch. Any of them would want to stay near the field so she would advetise an inn for the comings and try to learn more about her opponents.

 

[Black Rose Witch]

The words finally sunk in that the boy had said to her. "Oh, so you have to be in Pleinair's posse, huh? I can live with that." She put her lance away, Sasuke hoped for the last time and walked over to Plenair. "So how have you been doing Pleinair I'm so used to you working at the castle it's not like you to be out here? You aren't trying to do anything are you? Like become Overlord? Or anything in particular?" She asked with a cold hard stare, knowing full well she couldn't be the only one who wanted to be overlord, and she would have to kill anyone in her way. Sasuke decided to leave her be, and he looked around for the first time noticing all the stupid people that he clearly saw in hiding, watching them. "I'll kill them all." He vowed looking for the closest one in particular, but decided against it, going back over by Etna. "Miss Beauty Queen Etna, it's getting late shouldn't we go to an Inn now? Actually, do you guys know where the Inn is?" He asked Pleinair and Zu Zu directly, he didn't really know what to do about the bunny thing. And the prinnies of course were forced to follow everything and everywhere Etna went. And the only thing they could muster up to say was "DOOD"

 

[TheBane]

That ninja realy looks like he wants to kill some people. That can't be good for my neck *rubs neck*. Well, since I'm just following the red head for a while, I could just introduce myself now. Save me the worry that I'll wake up in their camp one day and end up being roasted slowly over a fire *shivers*. Now or never, time to say hello.
*takes a deep breath*. Letting it out, he slowly falls through the air, landing quietly next to the ninja.
On the way down, he heard him ask about where the INN was and answered, bowing," Right down this alley, to the end of the street on the right, mister ...", slowly raising his head to see what the ninja would say.

 

[Black Rose Witch]

Sasuke already saw the person coming a mile away. He turned around and the person told them where the inn was. "Why, tha" He couldn't finish his sentence because Etna had screamed and jumped. "HOW DARE YOU SNEAK UP ON US!" She screamed getting angry once again. Sasuke sighed. "Miss Etna, this person just told me where the Inn was he just wanted to help." He said, explaining. "Well, these idiots need to learn to not jump people like that." She scowled and looked back at Pleinair. "Well, I guess we will be going to the Inn, and this kind fellow" Etna kicked the person. "Will be escorting us there. Isn't that right? What is your name anyway?" She asked dryly, running her hand through her hair. The prinnies were starting to get bored. They weren't used to not doing anything, and so they resorted to twirling and flopping and other pointless means of moving their bodies for amusement. "STOP THAT!" Etna punched one of them which sent it flying into a wall, which amazingly didn't kill it. She looked back at the person and smiled. "So?"

 

[DJQuackQuack]

Whoa, it worked! Sweet...

Astonished his plan actually worked and thankful Pleinair went along with it, he didn't notice as first as she was dragging him along away from the group. But before he could taste freedom from this growing group of hostiles, Etna went up to Pleinair to ask her what her plans are, followed by her ninja companion who questioned for the location of an inn. Before Zu Zu could even point the way, one of the many hiding demons popped out and nervously gave directions to the nearst inn.

Kinda funny how much attention this Etna has, with all these demons sneaking around. Thank goodness for sensitive ears! Antway, once Pleinair is done with Etna, looks like I finally have a team so no more worrying about getting jumped by some losers...Speaking of Pleinair, I guess this is quite a hassle for her, I should repay her later for my trouble... Just as Zu Zu noticed, and surely he wasn't the only one, a crowd was gathering of many demons, all on the hunt to become overlord for their own desires and ideals. This battle was going to be fierce as the path ahead was full of strong opponents. Well either they wil kill me, or my tail will...why me...

Gladly watching as Etna directed her rage toward the new arrival, and became less interested in Pleinair, Zu Zu made his way over to his new partner and said- "Hey, I am guessing we should leave soon, definitely not a place that will bring any good. Come on, we can go to this other inn (away from them), lower prices with same level of comfort. Oh, and thanks for your help, I owe you one!"

 

[TheBane]

Zen flinched when the red head screamed lke there was a murder and jumped.
"I'm not here to hurt you*in his mind:yet), mam. I was just telling you where the inn is."
Zen watched the ninja talk to the red head and told her not to freak out. Then the red head told that she was heading for the inn. A second after that, she kicked him, wich zen who was to busy to avoid it got hit by it fell on the ground.
She better lead me somewhere quick, or else I'm going to show her what it feels like inside a tornado.
Zen slowly got up and dusted himself off. Right after that he heard the red head say that he was their escort, also asking his name, while soon puncking a prinny right after.
"My name is Zen, and may I ask what your name is, miss...?"
She touches me again, so help me...

 

[Ta-Chan]

Pleinair nodded silently, and began running towards the other inn. She slammed the door shut, and then opened it again to let the cat demon in. She sat on the floor, exhaustedly.
"...You said you owe me, Right?" She paused, cleverly remembering her soon to be true lie. She pointed at him.
"...You are now my Vassal for 1000 years or until you pay me back 50 000 HL!" She commanded as she grabbed his tail.
"...And your not getting out of this either."

. . .

 

[DJQuackQuack]

"See, nice inn, just like I said! And yep, of course I will pay you back for your kindness-WHOA, WAIT WHAT!!?" He asked as she stated he was to be her vassal for 1000 years or till he payed her back a high sum. "I-I thought you were just going along with the ruse, you know, to get me out of there. Uh, I need to use the bathroom..." As he attempted to walk away, he felt a hand grip his tail which caused him to fall flat on his face.

Unable to get loose from her grip, he sat up, cross-legged on the floor, and gave out a sigh. "Well, I guess I do owe you, I was saved back there thanks to you. And you are a lot nicer and sweeter than those hundreds of other demons that hunt me down to join them, so why not! Well then, Zu Zu, Feline Cleric at your service! So then, what is it you plan on having me do till I pay my debt? And...can I have my tail back please?" He said smiling, pointing at the wiggling tail desperate to fling about of her clutches.
