Inside the newly crowned capital of the Dark Empire on the 2nd continent, a commotion was brewing at the palace gates.
"Let go of me you cur!"
"We don't even know if it was really her! So, calm down, and-! Whoa!"
*thud*
It was the dark lord, trying to shake off the collective strength of his top officers.
"I will confirm it for myself! No, let go of me you hooligans!" He shouted at them as he tried to push his vampire friend off his arm.
"I helped you build this empire from scratch! I am not about to let you bring it to ruin over a simple crush! Whoa!" Fuji said, right before the dark lord lifted him up with one arm and smacked him into the ground.
*thud*
"DAMN IT! YOU MAY GO THROUGH WOMEN LIKE TISSUE PAPER, BUT SPRING ONLY COMES ONCE FOR ME! ARE YOU THAT DETERMINED TO STAND IN MY WAY?" The dark lord shouted as Fuji had used his blood to latch the dark lord's arm to the ground.
"She already rejected you man! Let it go!" Alex said, while clinging to his back.
"Hmph! That was not a rejection! She was merely scolding me for moving too fast! I now know not to rush our relationship!"
"What kind of mental gymnastics did you do to reach that conclusion Darkeeeeyyyy!" The Jester said, before the dark lord used the leg the spriggan was clinging to, to send him flying over the city limits, only for the spirit to teleport back moments later.
"While I am thrilled you have matured enough to consider the feelings of others, I would very much like to request your majesty to consider ours! She nearly killed us all in our last encounter! I for one would very much like to keep on living for a little longer!" Wong said, while drawing deep lines in the ground as he had been clinging on to the dark lord's other leg while half buried in the ground.
"WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING! STOP THIS SACRILEGE AT ONCE!" Chen Jing screamed as he saw the group of guy's piling on his subject of worship.
*Pop*
Just as Chen Jing looked ready to kill the lot of them for heresy, a number of spheres containing spatial distortions came flying at the four people weighing the dark lord down.
"Hmph! I might have expected this kind of nonsense from the elf and spriggan, but what is the matter with you two!" A red-skinned man with horns said, as he walked out from the palace.
"NO, STOP HIM!" They screamed as the dark lord used this chance to make a run for it.
"Fuji! Wong! You know better than to hinder his majesty!"
"What could have possibly possessed you to commit such sacrilege?"
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! WE JUST GOT WORD OF SOMEONE MATCHING MY MASTER'S DESCRIPTION APPEARING ON THE WESTERN COAST!"
"Hmph! So, what!"
"Sir Yami, you weren't there, so you might not understand, but that woman single handedly brought our lord too his knees last time they met! If something goes wrong, he might really die this time!"
"Hm? I suppose I should accompany his holiness to vanquish this evil!" Chen Jing said before bolting through the sky with a murderous intent plastered on his face.
"Hmph! As I understand it! The only reason that happened was because she poisoned his majesty's drink! If not for that, and your general incompetence, we would be ruling half the world by now!"
"Alex? Is this what it felt like back when we disregarded your warnings?"
"Yeah!"
"I apologize for shrugging you off back then!"
"*sigh* It's fine! It's not like I would have believed it either if our positions were reversed!"
"Why are you fools looking at me like that? Stop lazing about and get back to work! We still have much to make up for thanks to your fiasco on the 1st continent!"
*sigh*
All four of them collectively sighed in exasperation as they watched their superior emerge from the stables riding a white 'Pegasus'. He soon bolted through the sky, leaving the old wind nascent soul fanatic in the dust.
*giggle*
"What are you snickering at?" Fuji asked, as he noticed the little jester attempting to hold in his laughter.
