Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army (remake) [Chapter 27 - The Fallen King Chapter 5]

(NOTICE, added February 27, 2022): The entire time, I accidentally duplicated TFK Chapter 6 over this page. Now copy/pasting from DeviantArt is a bit different, makes it look different, and I cannot copy/paste the way how it was copy/pasted before.

Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army


Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army II - The Fallen King

Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army II - The Fallen King, also known as "Konjiki no Gash!!: Mamono no Kakumei-gun II ~Taoreta Ō~ (金色のガッシュ! !：魔物の革命軍II 〜倒れた王〜)" and "Zatch Bell!: Mamodo Revolution Army II - The Fallen King," is a sub-sequel/extension to my Zatch Bell! / Konjiki no Gash (Bell)!! fan fiction, Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army (specifically my remade version), which is a fan sequel to the Zatch Bell!/Konjiki no Gash!! manga series by Makoto Raiku. This new story arc takes place directly after Chapter 16 of my remade storyline in the other timeline, thus branching off from Chapter 17 and onward, which means that this sub-sequel can be read after Chapter 16 (remake) or after the final chapter (Remake: Chapter 22). However, it is recommended to read this story arc after reading the Revolution from the Dead (RftD) story (Remake: Chapters 17–22) due to potential spoilers and that The Fallen King (TFK) arc is labeled after the last RftD chapter.

27 years after a young demon boy named Gash Bell become the new King of Demon World, a rebellious group called the Demon Revolution Army—led by its leading Death Generals #1 Zega and #2 Zecross—commenced war on Demon World to bring chaos and pandemonium into Demon World. As each day passed, the Demon Revolution Army was being defeated. After defeating the Demon Revolution Army, the former seventh Death General—the Great Mad Genius Scientist Dr. Zulu—created his empire, the Zulu Empire, in the Human World and later in the past's timeline (Timeline B), 27 years ago. Demon Prince Raiden Bell, the son of Demon King Gash Bell, and his friends stopped the Demon Revolution Army and put an end to Dr. Zulu's empire in the present and past. Raiden and his friends said their goodbyes to young Demon King Gash Bell and returned back to the future in peace, but only to face another terrible threat in the present timeline (Timeline A): Armageddon. Meanwhile, back in the past timeline (Timeline B), how are the young and kind Demon King, his resurrected parents, and his friends doing? Have the future warriors taken care of all of their problems in the past timeline or were more problems created in response?

Trivia: Franchises that inspired me to make this new story arc are Warcraft, StarCraft, Harry Potter, and Star Wars.

Chapter 27 (The Fallen King Chapter 5): Demon Resistance Army

Recap

[Insert random recap music]
Ever since the Laughing Deathstock Gang attacked Demon World, King Gash Bell and his girlfriend Patie have been living in the Human World for protection for an entire month. After the month passed, a pair of warriors from the Demon Resistance Army (DRA) including Sergeant Major Ashuron (who was a competitor and Top 9 contestant in the Battle to Determine King of Demon World) and Lieutenant General D.D. Veni (a Royal Knight who can cross dimensions) traveled across the scourged dead plains of Demon World to Mochinoki City, Japan of the mortal universe's Planet Earth (or "Human World") to give their former King the current news of Demon World. Knowing what's going on in Demon World now, Gash and Patie requested to return to Demon World to see their friends and said their goodbyes to Kiyomaro Takamine and his family. Kiyomaro prays for their safety. How dangerous is Demon World in its current state?

Scene: A dark, dead wasteland in Demon World (evening)

[Insert random ambiance]
The Royal Knight D.D. Veni created a magical black portal between the area where they appeared in the Human World from Demon World back to Demon World in the spot where they disappeared from, which is a barren wasteland. Ex-King Gash Bell and Patie were shocked on how ghastly, empty, and dead Demon World appeared. No life in site. Every tree in the area appears dead; leafless. And a spooky mist just passed through the area. The sky is so cloudy with dark clouds, blocking the sun that made the atmosphere to be seemingly night all day. Gash stuttered as he was having trouble breathing in this new environment, "Is... Is this..." Patie followed him up, "Demon World?" They coughed, "Kuu, kuu!" Patie stated, "What happened to the air? It's terrible." Gash said, "It's hard to breathe." The polluted oxygen is already giving Gash and Patie trouble as they aren't used to it yet. Kiyomaro Takamine definitely would become really ill if he came along as his Chinese friend Li Yen was bedridden for a few days from the dreaded lands when it first started and Li barely survived. D.D. Veni said hastily, "We have no time to waste. I'll get us to base as soon as—"

Suddenly, zombies appeared from the grounds. Gash was frightened. Patie panicked, "Z-zombies?!" More spawned from the ground along with skeletons, ghouls and such. Sergeant Major Ashuron yelled, "Go! I'll hold them off! Raaaargh!" Ashuron transformed into his red-scaled dragon form and started shredding zombies and ghouls with his dragon claws enhanced with a spell, "Digaru Kurō!" and followed it up with another spell for his dragon tail, "Teiru Disugurugu!" sweeping a whole group of zombies with his spiked dragon tail. While Ashuron was holding off the undead, D.D. Veni said to the children while creating another portal, "Stay close to me." Ashuron incanted, "Ganzu Buroa!" firing multiple balls of heat energy from his dragon mouth at numerous numbers of the undead. As Gash and Patie were about to head into the portal, a zombie appeared beneath Gash and grabbed his legs. Gash and Patie got scared but D.D. Veni stabbed the zombie's head with his oddly-bladed spear and shouted, "Quickly, now! Sergeant Major, make sure you get back to us." Ashuron responded, "Go! I'll catch up." Gash and Patie entered the portal with D.D. Veni to another area in the wasteland of Demon World just so that they can get closer to the access point to his hideout. Ashuron yelled at the undead wrathfully, "This is for my brother, Dioga Buroa!" Ashuron charged up a huge sphere of heat energy and unleashed it on zombies and skeletons in its path, blowing them up. When the area is cleared, Ashuron incanted, "Shin Feiuruku," drastically increasing his flight speed and flew towards the dimensional access point to D.D. Veni's hideout.

After Lieutenant General D.D. Veni and the children exit out the first portal, D.D. Veni said, "We're almost there. We just cannot let the enemy know where we—Hold up!" Zombies and skeletal warriors suddenly popped out of the ground just right before D.D. Veni was about to open another portal. Patie said, "There's more of them." D.D. Veni stated, "We'll have to destroy them all first. For the safety of everyone's lives, we must destroy all witnesses; we cannot allow the Acolytes of the Nether to know where we are. Ha!" D.D. Veni launched green psionic energy balls from his hands as well as using telekinetic powers to grab onto zombies and skeletons to smash each other. Besides being skilled in Dimensional Magic, D.D. Veni is highly skilled in psychic powers such as telekinesis (moving objects from a distance with his mind), telepathy (reading minds and communicating people mentally), demon perception (detecting a nearby demon's presence or heart energy), memory alteration (changing or erasing a person's memories), teleportation (in addition to Dimensional Magic), and he can attack or defend with green psionic energy. Quite ironic for someone with a muscular body to have psychic powers since he would appear to be a brawler with his physique. In fact, a few months ago when Dr. Zulu's Dembot Guardians fused into the Dembot Master Chimerabot (ZDB-M01), D.D. Veni was the Royal Knight who protected the Demon Capital from Chimerabot's Chaos Burst attack with green psychic shield when Chimerabot's ultimate attack would have wiped out the entire city. That is how powerful D.D. Veni's psychic powers are and he wouldn't need a spellbook in the Human World to utilize his powerful psychic abilities as they aren't magical spells. He doesn't use demon magic other than Dimensional Magic. Strangely, he doesn't need a spellbook to utilize Dimensional Magic outside Demon World, which is pretty convenient, just like Gōmu, a friend of Kyanchome, was able to create dimensional portals at any time without the use of his spellbook during the Battle to Determine King of Demon World.

Anyway, Gash casted Ganreizu Zakeru and fired off multiple lightning balls from eight floating electric drums to attack the undead and Patie casted Ganzu Akuru, rapidly throwing small balls of high-pressured water at the undead too. Even just using one spell in Demon World in its current state, Gash and Patie are already feeling exhausted as they coughed. D.D. Veni asked, "Are you two okay?" Patie said, "I'm already feeling woozy." Gash said, "Me too." When the coast is clear and no undead spying on the group, D.D. Veni said hastily while opening a portal to the DRA headquarters in his D.D. Sanctuary, "You really shouldn't be out in the opening. Quickly, before more show. Here comes Ashuron, make way for him." D.D. Veni just wanted to make sure the enemy wasn't spying on them when he opened the portal or the HQ and the sanctuary will be in danger along with all of its survivors if the enemy could gain access to it. As Gash, Patie, and D.D. Veni were entering the portal, Ashuron finally caught up and sped inside the portal before it closed.

Scene: Demon Resistance Army Headquarters (South Wing's Main Command Center) in D.D. Sanctuary (evening)

[Insert random area music]
As a dimensional portal opened into a high-teched area of a whole new world and as D.D. Veni and the two demon kids exit the portal, Ashuron bursts throughout the portal at high speed while morphing back into his humanoid form. Gash and Patie got jumpscared, "Eep!" and their hearts beat as a speeding dragon almost crashed into them. Ashuron slows down as he stomps the ground until he came to a complete halt. Every other soldier in the main headquarter did not expect that unpredictable entrance and had their guard up to their face in shock, reacting in a jumpscare, "Whoa!" But there were some soldiers that had zero reaction to that stunt and ignored it, like General Moko and General Whir of the three Paladins of Nature but General Karoa chuckled it off. The three strongest Royal Knights are still alive from Argus the Iron Titan's siege on the capital.

D.D. Veni said to Ashuron, "Careful, Sergeant Major." Ashuron apologized, "My apologies." D.D. Veni said, "Here we are. The Resistance Headquarters. Also known as D.D. Sanctuary [Ｄ．Ｄ．聖域, D.D. Seiki] beyond these quarters." Now that the crazy entrance is over, everyone at the headquarters was surprised to see their young ex-King. The Marshal General of the Resistance Army, Zeon Bell, yelled at Ashuron for that crazy entrance, "Sergeant Major, what the heck was that all ab—" He then noticed his brother and his brother's girlfriend and couldn't believe that they are here, "Gash-sama?! Patie-sama?!" Gash was happy to see his brother again, "Zeon-nīsan?! You're alive!" Zeon yells at his brother harshly, "What are you doing—" However, Gash immediately ran up to his brother, crying in his arms, "You're alive!" Zeon asks again, but more softly, "Gash-sama, why are you—?" Lieutenant General D.D. Veni bows and apologizes, "My apologies, Zeon-dono. His Majesty was very persistent to see you and his friends. I told him he would be better in the Human World, but—" Zeon interrupted and said to his younger twin brother, "Gash-sama, you and Patie-sama should have stayed in the Human World. You're much safer there than here." The young fallen King apologized for his impatience, "Sorry Zeon, I had to make sure you're alright. What happened?" Zeon said and explained, "Guess we have no choice but to protect you here. After you and Patie were dropped off, we tried holding off against the Laughing Deathstock Gang. I clearly underestimated them. Hyenus Maximum was a lot stronger than I anticipated. Not only did he murder Lieutenant General Rajin, but he even killed the school headmaster. I wanted to fight and make those guys suffer but our headmaster pulled me away and warped me away from battle and took the final hit; the coward." Gash asks, "What about our friends? Are they okay?" Zeon said, "They are safe here in their respective residential halls. I'm not sure if we're missing some people you knew but I don't have time to check. We must be prepared to fight the new King of Demon World at all times."

One of the twelve Royal Knights, Rosella the Rose Witch, impatiently said, "Marshal General, now that Veni returned, I'm out of here." D.D. Veni was curious, "Rosella?" Zeon said, "Now's not the time for personal feelings, Major General." Major General Rosella said in a serious tone, "This isn't about personal feelings. Vincelot was fighting one of the necrolytes and we still don't have any word from him. He could have been killed and brought back to their side or they could be interrogating him for the location of the Resistance Headquarters. I'm going to look for him and don't stop me. It's for the sake of the sanctuary." Patie was curious who this female Royal Knight was, "Who is she?" Seems like Gash and Patie never got to meet most of the Royal Knights until now, especially Gash since he was King of Demon World for a while. Gash and Patie are still looking around the high-teched main headquarters area with fresh air and they see decent to high-ranked soldiers including most of the Royal Knights that are among the ranks of Major General, Lieutenant General, and General. The young Marshal General was irritated for Major General Rosella's rudeness, "Tch! You're not going out there alone." Rosella turns around and called for a pair of cute soldiers, "Gale, Lucida, you two are with me." Gale and Lucida responded in a cute tone, "Yes, Mistress. We Starlily Sisters will help be glad to help look for your boyfriend." Rosella felt embarrassed and annoyed, "Tch! He's not my boyfriend!" Her assistants giggled as they shrunk into the size of butterflies and spun around before resizing themselves back to average human-size. Gale Starlily and Lucida Starlily are average human-sized fairy demons with pointy ears, pink wings, and cute faces, but they can naturally shrink themselves. They are Corporal-ranked soldiers in the Resistance (second lowest rank above Private-rank, the lowest rank besides Recruit), trained under Major General Rosella. While they both are young adults (age 20 each), they are both carefree and nearly happy all the time, personality-wise. Corporal Gale said to her elder twin sister, "We shouldn't make the Rose Witch mad, Lucida-nēchan." Corporal Lucida giggles. Rosella yelled at them, "Stop playing around." The Starlily Sisters apologized, "Sorry, Mistress," and grouped with their teacher by hovering to her with their pink fairy wings. As Rosella and her small crew were approaching the young former King and Patie, she bowed down and said formally, "Greetings, Milord, Milady. My apologies for not introducing myself properly. Your arrival was quite... unexpected. Make yourselves comfortable. Excuse me, please. My apologies for my rudeness." Gash was speechless but Patie felt inspired, "Wow. Amazing!" The Starlily Sisters were infatuated with the cute, young (ex)-King and his girlfriend, "Aww!" Lucida said, "I never knew our King was this adorable. So much younger and cuter than I expected." Gale said to the ex-King's girlfriend, "And what a cute girlfriend you have... or sister. Were you going to be his queen or are you just friends... siblings?" Rosella yelled at her companions, "Enough!" Patie blushed and said with a smile while closing her eyes and holding her cheeks cutely, "Oh, thanks for the compliment. We're not siblings and I was going to be his queen." Lucida and Gale said in their sweet tone, "Cute!" Gash was just speechless and his mind was still wandering. Lucida said, "I'm getting married soon, after this war." Gale said in a sweet-but-sad tone, "I wish I still had my boyfriend. I miss him still. Poor Lotus-kun!" Patie wonders who Lucida was marrying to and wondered what happened to the Gale's boyfriend. Rosella yelled, "You two, what did I say about romance during war?!" Lucida and Gale apologized while shrinking, "Sorry, Mistress," and followed her as they returned back to normal size.

As Rosella and her crew marched towards D.D. Veni, Rosella said firmly, "Lieutenant General..." D.D. Veni already understood as he read Rosella's mind, "Right away. Be careful." He created a portal for Rosella's crew. They are on a mission to find a missing Royal Knight, Major General Vincelot the Blood Paladin, one of Rosella's comrades and teammates. Hopefully, he's alright. He has managed to survive the battle against the Acolytes of the Nether in the future timeline [Timeline A] but that was because the Acolytes of the Nether was missing one of their current necrolytes and that the three Royal Knights had reinforcements to fight the undead and the other acolytes and contributed very well. Due to that, the Acolytes of the Nether of the past are more powerful than their future counterparts, especially in the new Demon World's environmental condition.

After Rosella's small group left, Zeon said to his brother, "That was Major General Rosella. She is one of the Royal Knights in our military and Resistance but she also schools students in botany and Plant Magic." Patie said, "Quite feisty, but there is something about her that makes her remarkable. But the other two seem really nice." Zeon said, "Her accomplices are a few of her students, Gale and Lucida Starlily. They're twins just like us. They are a strong team together but those two are just straight-up annoying. Well, they at least keep everyone in a positive mood in these dark times. Anyway, you never met all of our Royal Knights yet, have you, other than my personal trainer Rajin and the Black Knight, both who were Lieutenant Generals? Rajin trained me to lead these soldiers as it was something father wanted and I'm honored. You also met Lieutenant General D.D. Veni, whom I sent to give you information on our situation. I wish you two would have stayed in the Human World but I guess I'll show you guys around while we're on standby." Zeon led his brother and future sister-in-law to meet the military generals in the command center in the middle of the room. The Royal Knight Generals bowed and the anthropomorphic eagle Royal Knight said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. It's an honor to meet you in person, at last. General Whir, Paladin of the Sky, at your service, Milord." Gash felt embarrassed being called formally, "I'm still not used to the formality. Just call me Gash, and I'm not really King anymore, after all, am I?" The magma golem Royal Knight said in a deep warrior-like voice, "As long as you are alive, Sire, we'll still treat you as King, just like your father. General Moko, Paladin of the Land, at your service." The female anthropomorphic cephalopodic Royal Knight chuckled and said, "Hmm-hmhmhm! My apologies if you don't prefer formalities, My Young King, but we must show respect to the 'King' we follow. You two are so adorable. I take it you would be his queen." Patie blushed and said, "Well, it would be very nice." General Karoa said, "Don't worry, my dear, we'll make sure His Majesty takes the throne again. It's just taking us more time than we like." Zeon said, "Anyway, the three Generals here make up the Paladins of Nature, who're skilled in elemental magic. Our strongest warriors and great leaders, leading the Resistance other than I." General Whir said, "Since you are here, My Majesty, we'll protect you with our lives. That, we'll guarantee. The enemy is more troublesome than we anticipated, even being able to rival our power." General Whir then said to his Marshal General, "Your Highness, when you are ready, we'll discuss our next plan." Zeon said, "Alright, General. Let me tour these two for a bit to let them know what's going on." General Whir said, "Time is of the essence. We'll be waiting, Your Highness."

Going past the command center, Zeon introduces Gash and Patie another Royal Knight, "This is one of D.D. Veni's comrades, T.F. Golbar, Royal Knight and Lieutenant General. Time Force Golbar." T.F. Golbar (Ｔ．Ｆ．ゴルバー, or Jikan Ryoku Gorubā [時間力ゴルアー]) is a large koala demon with a handlebar mustache and an a fancy analog clock on his golden-silver armor. He bowed down with his gravity mace in hand tapped on the ground—making a tiny quake which made Gash and Patie flinch as they felt a tiny shift in gravity to a half-second—and said, "Greetings, My Young Lord. My apologies for not being in the palace to protect you at the same time I was protecting the city. As for my title, I do have the ability to manipulate time but my time magic is quite limited, and I can also manipulate the forces of gravity. My apologies if you felt that sensation from my Gravity Mace. As a user of time, there is a lot you need to know about the time we fought the Laughing Deathstock Gang. You may not know this or remember this and I don't expect you to know this, but the first time when they appeared in the Capital, while we have destroyed the Iron Titan Argus and the legion of the enemy, everyone in the palace... fell into pieces." Gash and Patie were confused, "Huh?!" D.D. Veni explained, "By the time I found your body in the palace after finding out it was attacked, your body—my apologies for saying this—was already torn to shreds by Maximus, from the looks of it." Gash and Patie were shocked couldn't believe what they were hearing with Gash saying, "What do you mean?" Golbar continued his story, "I couldn't believe my eyes to see My Majesty and his precious friend slain so I rewound time to the farthest point I could and let the others know that they were preparing to strike. In the second run, I joined His Highness and Lieutenant General Rajin against the Laughing Deathstock's assassins in the palace. With my help, we defeated Hyenus Maximus and stopped the others assassins, protecting everyone in the palace. However, without me protecting the city against Argus and the Laughing Legion, the Iron Titan managed to march his way into the capital, destroying the palace and everything else before the Generals and my other fellow Royal Knights stopped him for good. You have also fallen into that attack." Gash and Patie were shocked and couldn't believe it, "Really?!" T.F. Golbar continued his story, "His Highness was erasing the enemies' memories and I was too weak to save you at the time. We were both weakened and injured from the assassins' attacks. Your friend was grieving to you over a pile of rubble." He looked at Patie's worried face and said, "I could still hear her screaming at me and His Highness, 'Why did you two not save him? You were supposed to protect him. Why didn't you do anything?' I felt so guilty for not protecting you in time, Milord. His Highness too, yet I was the one to blame. We're dreadfully sorry. I had to rewind time again with my powers I had left at that time but this time, we had less time to spare before their attack. Furthermore, it was my final reset for the day. This time, after I told your brother—this one—about the previous attacks that happened, he suggested that I should just let him and Rajin take on the criminals inside the palace. I suggested them that they should bring your school headmaster as backup as he was the only one other than D.D. Veni who could teleport you to the Human World and we needed D.D. to stop Argus's rampage. I took that risk and aided our fellow Royal Knights to stop the titan from advancing. I prayed that you would be safe with just Lieutenant General Rajin and His Highness by your side. I didn't think Rajin would have been slain that easily without me there and you ended up in the Human World." Zeon said, "Anyway, thanks for your time but you wasted enough of our time as it is." T.F. Golbar apologized, "My apologies, Marshal General. My apologies for taking up your time, Grand Marshal General." Gash wondered, "Grand Marshal General?" Zeon said, "We figured we would give you that title since you are our King... or King-to-be again. But know this, despite giving you such a rank, we won't let you take part of this battle."

As Zeon was continuing the tour, Gash asked his brother, "Those things that guy said, did those really happen?" Zeon replied, "He's the only one I know who's capable of manipulating time. It's thanks to him that you're still alive and that we're in this terrible circumstance. It's too bad his Time Magic sucks, otherwise, we wouldn't be having any of these problems and our parents would still be alive, but there's nothing we can do about that since Time Magic is a very complicated mess to learn or master, perhaps even more so than the enemies' necromancy. But he has proven to get out of many situations in the past when he served under our father's reign but I didn't know about his powers until we formed the Resistance, otherwise, I would have had him rewind a lot of stuff but it's too late for those. I thought it was strange that he had a clock on his armor but apparently, he can only rewind time up to an hour, two times a day, and he can also see up to an hour into the future, but apparently, he didn't do that at the time before it happened. As a matter of fact, he saved us from Dr. Zulu's fused creation, the Chimerabot. The Chimerabot actually destroyed the capital along with us on it with that final attack. But thanks to Golbar's Time Magic, the Royal Knights saved us just in time with D.D. Veni shielding us with a powerful psychic shield." Patie and Gash were astounded. Zeon said, "When the Royal Knights fought the Chimerabot the first time, they noticed that elemental magic didn't work on it, which made our Generals partially useless, but they were fully prepared to destroy the Chimerabot after Golbar rewound time just to get a more flawless attempt. He, along with D.D. Veni and C.S. Galactica, are still some of our strongest loyal warriors as Lieutenant Generals, and together, they make up the Paladins of the Universe."

Patie wondered who that third Paladin of the Universe (宇宙のパラディン, Uchū no Paradin) was, "C.S. Galactica?" As Zeon toured Gash and Patie to meet her, C.S. Galactica responded in a female French accent, "Yohoho, that would be me, Madam. Cosmic Space Galactica, at your service, Sire, Madam. I'm actually a Royal Knight who came from another planet of the magical universe." She bowed down to Gash with a cosmic scepter in hand. C.S. Galactica, or Cosmic Space Galactica (宇宙空間ギャラクティカ, Uchū Kūkan Gyarakutika), is actually an extra-terrestrial demon from another planet of the Magical Universe (魔法の宇宙, Mahō no Uchū), outside the "Demon World" planet. She appears to have blue humanoid skin with antennas on her head and she wears a space-themed dress instead of armor. A rather oddly choice of wear for a Royal Knight. Gash and Patie were surprised, "Wow!," and Patie asked, "Really?" C.S. Galactica said, "The planet I come from in this Magical Universe is Planet Garnet [惑星ガーネット, Wakusei Gānetto]. I lived for over ten-thousand years but I lived on Planet Terra [惑星テラ, Wakusei Tera], your planet which you folks call 'Demon World' [Makai, 魔界], for over two thousand years. When I landed here, I was founded by the royals of Planet Terra at the time and they took me in. I was initially a maid until I was trained into a soldier. And before you know it, I became a trusted Royal Knight; an alien as a knight close to the Planetary King, even though I am more of a sorceress and a scientist than a knight that use Cosmic Magic. Yohoho. Oh sorry, am I taking up your time, Sire and Madam?" Gash stuttered, "I-it's okay." Gash and Patie didn't know any of that. Patie said, "So our planet is called Planet Terra. I never knew that. Wait, does that mean Gash was considered King of all the planets?" C.S. Galactica explained, "Only on this planet. Each planet in this galaxy has their own absolute ruler, deity or deities, or government, and they have their own ways on how leadership is determined like we of Planet Terra had the thousand-year battle on Planet Earth of the mortal universe, which we often call the 'Human World' since humans are currently the most sentient animals on that mortal planet. Each magical planet has their own type of governments like Planet Terra, for the longest time, had monarchy while my planet, Planet Garnet, had different governments in different countries such as democracy, where the planet is 'ruled by the people equally'. So, even if you are King on Planet Terra, or were King; you are still considered to be a mere alien on any other magical planet so be wary when traveling into unknown territory." Zeon said, "There's more to the universe than meets the eye. I thought this was the only Demon World but other 'Demon Worlds' exist, whatever they may be called. It goes to show that the planet's monarch or deity has no authority on other planets but their own." Gash understands, "Oh, okay."

Patie asks Galactica, "And you're a scientist? You don't look like one." Judging from the Galactica dresses, she looks more like a galactic sorceress than a scientist, unless if she is specifically a scientist to a specific study. C.S. Galactica explained, "Oh ho ho ho. I used to be one a long ago. You see, my family and I were astrologists, space researchers. We studied the galaxy through science and Cosmic Magic. Our planet was highly advanced in magical and scientific technology compared to Terra and still is to this day. One day, a huge war was occurred by a terrorist organization in the country I lived in. I was so young at the time, I didn't know who they were but it was so bad that my family and other astronomical researchers evacuated from the planet in escape pods. Our space station was eventually hijacked. The terrorists hacked into our orbital satellite cannons and destroyed our escape pods. I was the only survivor floating alone into the vast, empty space for many eons. Thankfully, my species don't require any edible resources or oxygen to survive from the vacuum of space, but it was very lonely and I was just a poor petite dame ["little girl" in French]. So sad. It was a long time until I found another planet, Planet Terra, where you live in." Patie felt terrible for what happened to Galactica and her family, "Oh, you poor thing." C.S. Galactica said with a smile, "It's okay, dearie. I made lots of nice friends on this world and it's wonderful here, despite how primitive Terra felt to me. Excuse my rudeness, Votre Majesté ["Your Majesty" in French]. Took me a while to get used to not being able to use scientific technology since I was a spoiled child. Yo ho ho ho! But we'll definitely make you the Planetary King of Terra again, just give us some extra time, dearies."

From a distance, D.D. Veni is giving a strange look at C.S. Galactica, his own comrade. Seems as though there's something mysterious between the Paladins of the Universe, but Galactica seems to be a nice, alienated ancient lady, yet, D.D. Veni is seemingly giving his fellow comrade quite a stare. What's his problem? The Paladins of the Universe are rather strange compared to the other Royal Knight trios.
AUTHOR NOTES: Planet Terra is the planet I'm calling Gash's "Demon World" planet since "Terra" is another name for "Earth" (in Latin) and that I made it so that both planets are linked. And I made up some original planets in their universe, expanding the Konjiki no Gash!! universe for this fan project.
As they continued touring, Zeon said, "Well, that's pretty much every Royal Knight besides Major General Vincelot and Major General Barburos. One of our Royal Knights died this war and we lost connection to Major General Vincelot. Major General Barburos... Well, he's out looking for survivors along with Private Rein." Gash wondered, "Rein? Which Rein?" Zeon answered, "The white werebear demon; your friend. Barburos is also a demon of his race. Rein just recently joined under Barburos' squad." Gash said, "Oh, that Rein." Patie thought wrong, "Oh, I was thinking of our future child Rain-chan. I still wonder if Gash-chan and I will still have him when we grow up. I can't believe I almost forgot about him. He was wonderful, nice, and cute, especially around his cute girlfriend! Eeee!" Patie started exaggerating in excitement, remembering them. Gash blushed in embarrassment. Zeon made an awkward expression, "Calm down, you're being loud. And why would you think that? He's not part of our timeline and they never came back; they have their own problems like we have our." Despite what Zeon said, which is true, he has no idea what Timeline A is currently facing, which is something similar to their problem that may be better or worse than Timeline B [this timeline]'s problem. At least Timeline B don't have four "planet-busting" archdevils invading Planet Terra.

In the far back of the headquarters, Zeon said, "Anyway, over here, we have Leo, our new Sergeant in the Resistance, who nicknamed himself the 'Red Lion'. He's been really impressive so far." What a surprise: Nekolas's father Leo the Red Lion is a Resistance soldier, yet while he was a one-man militia aiding the military at times, he was never a soldier until now. Although, Nekolas wasn't even born until 13 years later. Leo was minding his own business against a wall with his arms crossed, either resting or not caring. His significant other, standing next to him, said, "Leo, don't be rude, dear. Why don't you greet our King?" Leo felt embarrassed, "Lucille..." So that's Nekolas's mother's name. Lucille is an anthropomorphic tiger demon with reddish-orange fur. She doesn't look like the combatant type like her husband but she can also use Fire Magic like him but only long-ranged Fire Magic while Leo mostly uses melee-ranged Fire Magic. Leo stood forward, then bowed a second later, greeting the former King, "It's an hour to meet His Majesty. Excuse me." Leo didn't want to stay to chat. Lucille teased her husband, "You don't really talk much, do you?" Leo responded, "Lucille, please." Clearly, he wanted to be alone.

Continuing on with the tour around the headquarters (and Zeon is getting tired touring), he introduced another medium-ranked soldier to chaperone Gash and Patie, "Sergeant Major Victor?" The blond-mustached golden knight responded in a gravely-but-honorable voice, "Yes, Marshal General-Your Highness?" Zeon said, "Show Gash-sama and his beloved around the residential areas to their room in the East Wing. I got to talk to General Whir with strategies for the battle." Guess they already had a room set up for Gash and Patie just in case if they ever came back to Demon World, which was going to be useless until now. Sergeant Major Victor bowed and responded, "I am very honored, Your Highness, and I will gladly chaperone His Majesty and the Young Mistress." Before Zeon grouped with the Generals, he said to his brother, "Gash-sama, Patie-sama, I'm sorry to leave you but I have important matters to attend to. I'm leaving you with a reliable soldier. He'll show you around. Meet your friends, visit the cafeteria, and a King bedroom that we never thought would ever be occupied. But I'm letting you know that you young ones other than myself will not be partaking in this war, for your own sakes, despite the title of Grand Marshal General we've given you." In the future timeline [Timeline A], Victor was a Knight Infantry in the revamped Demon World Military and he was one of the soldiers that recklessly got himself banished to the Twilight World; the colorless counterpart of the magical universe. Is he really reliable in this timeline, even as a Sergeant Major? Nonetheless, he should be good enough to His Majesty around Veni's pocket dimension; the D.D. Sanctuary.

After Zeon left, Sergeant Major Victor bowed to the ex-King again with his sheathed knight sword to the ground and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Sire. I hope my tour will satisfy your Royalness." Patie asked Victor, "Those scars on your face. What happened?" Victor explained, "Oh-ho, I had these battle scars decades ago, way before all these unholy messes started, Young Mistress. Shall we resume your tour?"

Scene: East of the South Wing of D.D. Sanctuary

As Victor was touring the ex-King and Patie, Victor said, "Oh, ho! It's great to see the kind King alive and well. I'm impressed you made it through the unholy, plagued lands of Demon World. I was a soldier for quite some time when your father was still King." Patie was curious about this soldier's abilities, "So, what kind of warrior are you? I mean, your abilities and such?" Victor didn't expect a question like that and gladly answered, "I use Light Magic to sweep away the evil and the darkness that corrupts the lands. Heh-heh, actually, don't take that literally. My magic isn't strong enough to destroy the blight of Demon World in its current state and to be modest, I'm quite average, otherwise, I would have at least been a Captain by now... or perhaps Major. Haven't reached Warrant Officer yet and I'm still within the enlisted ranks of all these years while all the new guys jumped up here so quickly. But I'm a well-trained knight and I'd be glad to sacrifice my life to protect you, Sire. As well as you, young Madam, since I hear His Majesty chose you as his queen." Patie blushed and said, "I'll do my best as queen. I really hope this war is over and Gash-chan becomes King again." Victor said, "Such young love. Wish I still had those days when I was young and cheerful. And don't worry. As long as we have hope, we'll make sure you take the throne again."

As Victor took the youngsters towards the East Wing from the South Wing (where the main headquarters resided), they met Gash's friends Corporal Vincent Bari (a rival, actually) and Corporal Earth (who was Gash's law advisor) walking through the southern Resident Hall together. Gash was surprised to see those two former contestants from the Battle to Determine King, "Ooh-hoo! Bari, Earth?" Vincent and Earth were shocked with Vincent saying, "Gash-sama?" and Earth wonder why he's here, "My King, what on earth are you doing here?" Victor explained, "Lieutenant General Veni brought them here." Earth said, "It's too dangerous for our King to be here." Vincent corrected Earth, "Ex-King, you mean?" Hearing "Ex-", Earth pushed Bari into a wall with his right golden gauntlet against Bari's collarbone in anger, "Ex? Don't you ever disrespect His Royalness." Vincent was struggling in anger but calmed down, "My apologies." Earth released him and Vincent brushes himself off. Victor yelled at Vincent, "Dethroned, he may be, but gosh darn it, Corporal Bari, show respect. He's still King to us. Don't make me tell General Whir about this." These three soldiers serve directly under General Whir's troops. Vincent apologized, "I got it. My apologies, Gash-sama, Sergeant Major." Gash didn't mind, "It's fine." Earth yelled, "It's not fine. Royalties must be treated with respect at all times."

Gash asked them, "By the way Earth, Bari, are my friends okay?" Earth said, "Most of them are fine. However, there are some that..." Earth is having a hard time wanting to answer that question. Gash and Patie wondered as Earth paused for a second. He continued speaking, "... Some didn't make it. Sorry." Patie and Gash were curious and upset, "Who?" Earth really didn't want to make the young former King sad, but he needed to know, "It pains me to say it in front of you. One of them, Umagon, he and his family didn't make it." Gash and Patie felt awful hearing that, "Schneider?" Gash was starting to cry. Vincent yelled at Earth, "Way to go. You made 'Our King' cry." Earth felt really bad having to tell the young poor ex-King, "My apologies, Sire, I won't say anymore that could hurt you." Gash and Patie are sad and anxious. Schneider wasn't the only one, but Earth won't say anything else that could hurt Gash and Patie further, mentally. Victor sighs, "Ehh, we weren't able to evacuate everyone in time, Sire. It went heavy too fast, ever since the Laughing Deathstock Gang sieged the Capital... If you'll excuse us, Corporal Vincent, Corporal Earth..."

Scene: East Wing of D.D. Sanctuary


As Vincelot and Earth passed them, Sergeant Major Victor continued the tour in the residential areas including some bathrooms where they could bathe or shower in the fancy bathtubs, or micturate or defecate in their fancy, clean toilets where their disposals are cleared afterward into a void. The Residential Halls also have beverage fountains and magical snack makers near the bathrooms. Victor also showed them where the East Wing's Infirmary was at, in case if Gash and Patie were to get sick but they were checked in with its medical doctors and nurses to see if they contained any diseases from crossing over Demon World's nightmarish land. The tour continued after His Majesty and his beloved got checked up in the East Wing's Infirmary and they were good to go.

From the residential halls, the room doors look so close to each other that the rooms would look small, but on the contrary, they are a lot bigger on the inside of those rooms as if there are internal dimensions in addition to external dimensions. Besides creating dimensional portals, Different Dimension Veni can also use Dimensional Magic to create additional spatial dimensions—internal dimensions—to make areas a lot bigger or smaller on the inside than they would appear on the outside; think about areas being able to stretch or compress when entering them. External dimensions are the standard three dimensions of height, width, and depth. Interior dimensions are fourth, fifth, and sixth spatial dimensions with inner height, inner width, and inner depth. So in reality, D.D. Veni's Pocket Dimension is just about the size of a five-star hotel with four command centers on each wing with quick easy access to each command center without having to travel too far. Despite how it would look on an overworld map with only the three standard dimensions, in which case the passageways between each command center is longer than the residential hallways, traveling between command center (or "quarter" with the south quarter being the main headquarters) through its passageway around the residential areas is actually pretty shorter than traveling through the residential hallways as the internal dimensions that cover the command centers' hall passageways' exterior dimensions is very short and stretched, it only takes a few second to go from one command center to another, conveniently. It may look confusing and distorted, but it's pretty convenient since D.D. Veni wants to use other points of his pocket dimension to access other locations in Demon World so that they are not warping in the same spot every time in Demon World, otherwise the Acolytes of the Nether will find them out faster on where they are coming from.

Anyway, as Victor was still touring Gash and Patie around the East Wing's Residential Hall, Gash asked the blonde and scarred golden knight, "Hey, Victor-san, besides those cool snack machines, is there anywhere to get... real meals?" Victor responded, "Why yes. We are heading to the East Wing's Great Hall. Might as well hurry before the cafeteria's closed. I guess I should have brought you two there first. My apologies, though you really had to get checked in the infirmary after venturing Demon World for diseases and all." Patie said, "We actually had dinner in the Human World." Victor said, "Ahh, okay. But I'll let you know where the East Wing's Great Hall is and I'll also introduce you to their Head Chef, who is actually pretty amazing, to say the least." Patie asked, "By the way, where do you get all these food from? And how do you survive here?" Victor answered, "Food Magic exists, thankfully. Just creating cooked meals with your imagination. Some individuals can do that like our chefs and cooks. Also thanks to Water Magic that we are still alive." Patie said, "I can use Water Magic. I can be quite useful for regular survival." Victor said, "I bet you can, Young Mistress. Anyway, here we are."

Scene: East Wing's Great Hall of D.D. Sanctuary

A large crowd of people was heard on the other side of large fancy doors with windows. The East Wing's Great Hall was crowded with over a thousand demons. There are four Great Halls in this dimension in total, one on each wing; same with the rest of the facilities. Gash and Patie were shocked and said slowly, "Woooow..." Victor said, "I'll let you meet the Eastern Head Cook and get you something to eat if you are still feeling hungry." Gash was happy, "Oh, boy! I hope they have yellowtail." Victor said, "They'll have anything you like. Among all the Great Halls I've been to, I might say the East Wing's Great Hall has been my personal favorite. Great people and great food. Let's just hope we're not too late." As Sergeant Major Victor, ex-King Gash, and Patie were looking around, seeing so many survivors chowing down or leaving the Great Hall after their meals, or playing around the Great Hall—as there are kids running around the Great Hall, having fun—Gash and Patie actually spotted many of their best friends with Patie saying, "Is that...?!" Gash was so happy he actually spotted them on at a table full of kids and yelled to get their attention, "Hey! Tio! Kyanchome! Byonko! Koruru! Everyone!" When they all heard a familiar voice, they all reacted in shock, "Gash(-sama)?! Patie(-sama/chan)?!" Tio said happily, "Oh my gosh, is that really you? How on earth did you two get here?" From the table, a cool-looking blonde friend named Ted said, "Yo, Gash-sama! It's been a long time!" Gash was happy, "Ted!" At that kid table, he noticed a lot of his friends including Tio, Kyanchome, Byonko, Leopardon Papipurio, Koruru, Ted, Reira (a little girl that was petrified for a thousand years by Goren of the Stone until the recent Battle to Determine King of Demon World), Danny, Wonrei, and even Wonrei's human girlfriend Li Yen. Li Yen looks pretty well at this point. Gash noticed that Schneider wasn't there so Corporal Earth's story seems to be true. Tio, Kyanchome, and Byonko ran towards Gash and Patie and Tio said, "When did you come back?" Gash said happily, "Tio! It's so nice to see everyone. Is everyone alright?" Tio was feeling a bit down thinking about that, "Well..." Patie said to Byonko, "Glad you are doing alright, Byonko-kun." He replied, "You too, Patie-sama-gero." Gash said to Tio, "I heard from Earth that Schneider didn't make it. Please tell me that's not true." Gash was feeling emotional and Tio felt really bad. She didn't say anything for a second, but was about to until Victor butted in the conversation and said, "Mind if I take His Majesty to get something to eat and meet the Head Chef?" Tio said to Gash and Patie, "You two get yourself a good meal, then we'll talk. Hurry, though!" Gash responded, "Unu!" and Patie said, "We already ate an hour or so back at Kiyomaro's house, but alright." Kyanchome said, "We want to hear your adventures back in the Human World." Gash responded, "Unu!"

Sergeant Major Victor took Gash and Patie to get some food. The Head Chef was already packing up and told him with her back turned, "Oh, I'm sorry, dear, we were closing. I'm already exhausted." Gash and Patie aren't really that upset that much as they already ate, but were still disappointed, especially Gash. Sergeant Major Victor asked the Head Chef, "Would you have enough power for two more, including His Majesty, Matilda?" Matilda is an anthropomorphic cow demon. She and her employees that are also mammal-like demons are skilled in Food Magic, Plant Magic (for fruits and vegetables), and Water Magic. Matilda responded and screamed in a crazy feminine tone, "Huh? His Majesty?!" She immediately turned around, looking around wildly until she saw the young former Demon King and the ex-King's girlfriend's young body standing in front of her behind the hot food counter, "O-M-G! His Majesty is here?! Why didn't you say so?!" Everyone in the cafeteria suddenly gasped as they just now realized that former King Gash Bell was in the building and they never noticed it until now, "His Majesty?!"/"No way!"/"What's he doing here?"/"He's not even King anymore." Everyone was shocked. Gash and Patie were getting anxious since they suddenly got all the attention. Sergeant Major Victor said to everyone, "Now now, everyone. I will like everyone to calm down. This is a big surprise to us all to see that His Majesty made his way all to D.D. Sanctuary. Please continue to what you were doing. The Resistance will surely protect His Majesty, fighting to get his rights back." Even though Victor tried to calm the refugees down, his efforts failed as hundreds of demons approached Gash and Patie saying, "Is that really the King?"/"Idiot, he isn't King anymore."/"Oh my gosh, he has returned!" From then on, the cafeteria got really loud and chaotic. Sergeant Major Victor felt pressured into the sudden mess that was made but the Head Chef yelled loudly, "Everyone, shut up and go back to your seats and let's give the young Master a grand feast." The many disrespectful demons responded with words such as, "Yes, Mattie-san!"/"We're sorry!"

Head Chef Matilda apologized and said happily, "Sorry about that. So, what can I get you, dearies?" Gash said, "Do you have any Yellowtail?" Matilda responded, "Sure do!" Patie asked, "And a slice of strawberry cake if it's in your power?" Matilda answered, "Sure do. I may be tired out but I might be able to do this two more times. Ready, ladies?!" She then started dancing along with her female employees as they all chanted random words, "Vicky-vicky. Picky-picky. Beafy-beafy! Voodoo-hoo! Mooooo! And... Ting! Wooooo!" While they just said random words instead of providing the actually spell incantation, they surely summoned what Gash and Patie wished for, on flat trays and all ready. They even have glass cups of milk. Milk, ehh? Who knows where that milk came from, Miss Mattie the Cow? Gash and Patie awed in excitement and as the chefs and cooks danced, Miss Matilda shouted, "Everyone, with the return of the young King who's gonna be our King again, let's all throw a wondrous, fabulous party."
[/End of random area music]

[Insert random town music]
In celebration of the return of Gash Bell, confetti magically appears in the Great Hall along with rainbow neon lights and folk music was suddenly playing somewhere the cafeteria. A lot of demons started dancing, going wild as Miss Mattie shouted in a crazy tone, "Everyone, get your groove on! Moooooo!"

As the party went on in the Great Hall, Gash Bell and Patie joined their friends at the kids' table and ate their snacks. Li Yen said, "It's great to see you again, Gash, Patie." Gash said, "Unu!" Patie said, "Glad to see you're okay. I heard what happened to you, which is why we couldn't bring Kiyomaro with us." Li Yen said, "I see, so you were living with Kiyomaro. Yeah, when it all happened, I suddenly got sick." Her demon boyfriend Wonrei said, "I ran everywhere, looking for help. I was still blinded at the time, wandering hopelessly until Danny found me." Danny next to him said, "Couldn't leave a friend behind, especially a blind friend. I helped Wonrei and his friend evacuate the area until we made it to the sanctuary." Wonrei said, "If it wasn't for you, I thought Li Yen wouldn't make it. Again, I very much appreciate the help." Danny replied, "No problem, dude." Patie said to Wonrei, "So, you can finally see again like me." Wonrei no longer has his bandages and his eyes healed too. He was blinded for a while from Zeil's sword attacks. While he isn't permanently blinded, he has a small horizontal scar across the outsides of his eyes. Patie then asked him, "So, are you going to join the Resistance or are you already part of it?" Li Yen felt anxious hearing a question like that about her boyfriend. Wonrei responded, "I'm still a bit too young to join. I would like to avenge my parents. They were slaughtered by the undead. Though, I wouldn't want to make Li upset." Li Yen held his left arm and said, "I'm glad because I worry about you."

When Sergeant Major Victor passed their table, he said to the ex-King, "I got to go somewhere. Will you younglings show His Majesty his room when you're done, and please don't wreck his room again." Gash's close friends responded enthusiastically, "Yes, sir!" Victor said, "My apologies, Your Majesty, Young Mistress. Excuse me," and left. Gash still felt terrible about Schneider's lost, "I can't believe Umagon's gone." Tio said, "I know. It was really hard on us. We lost a lot of good friends. Maruss, who I hated for betraying our friendship, actually sacrificed his life to save mine when I was separated from my parents before coming here. It was when those new guys showed up and... he was eaten by zombies." Gash and Patie cringed and felt bad. Kyanchome sighed and said, "We lost a few other friends too. We haven't seen Rops, Momon or Gōmu." Rops was a cute little ladybug-like demon boy that used Chain Magic and Rope Magic and Momon was a pink simian rabbit demon who was perverted towards girls and used all sorts of trickery-based magic. Kyanchome's friend Leopardon Papapurio said, "Gōmu was with us in the sanctuary for a while. He suddenly disappeared all of a sudden without saying anything. Don't know if he went to his Black Room pocket dimension or tried fighting those guys." Gash felt even more bad, "Ohh..." Gōmu is a beetle-like demon who also used Dimensional Magic just like D.D. Veni, and can create pocket dimensions just like him but calls his pocket dimension "The Black Room." He was the former ally of Clear Note (the Boy of Annihilation, currently known as White) and friend of Kyanchome and Leopardon. It's possible their friend has given up on life. Byonko said, "That big and scary Demoruto tried putting up a fight and was crushed by those guys-gero." Reira said nonchalantly without care, "Eh, everyone dies. It is a war." Gash asked, "What about Brago? Is he here?" Tio said, "We haven't seen Brago." Kyanchome wondered, "Rumor say he's been fighting those Acolyte guys." Gash asked loudly, "Really?" Kyanchome said, "I can't say for certain. But he is pretty scary and strong, I'm sure he still alive somewhere out there." Gash said, "Yeah, I hope so. What about White? That... kid in our school." Tio said, "Huh? Oh, that White kid. I'm not sure." Koruru said softly, "I seen White-kun. I thought he was evacuating like everyone. He looked lost but my parents were trying to get us evacuated, I couldn't get to him. We were evacuating during the time those spider and scorpion demons were attacking the city just when the dead started appearing." Ted remembered something, "Wait, me and my girl Cherish seen a little bleached-hair kid in an alley who called himself White. That was when the Dark Lord showed up. He was lost and injured so I tried getting him out of there. He fell and a horde of zombies pulled him down from the ground chow him from legs up. Cherish tried sniping those trash but those zombos already got him in time but then those zombos suddenly vanquished and exploded by some strange power the kid unleashed. I tried waking up the kid, but he was already long gone. Me and Cherish got here together and we couldn't save anyone. I felt so rubbish!" Ted smacks the table in guilt. Ted specializes in Body Enhancement Magic while his girlfriend Cherish utilizes Crystal Magic. His girlfriend isn't sitting with the group, but she's in her's and Ted's bedroom in the East Wing's Residential Hall as they share a room. Wonrei and Li Yen also have a room to themselves. Gash said, "Oh. Well... I kept this secret for a long time but... Now that he's gone, I might as well tell you all the truth about him but keep it a secret from anyone else." Everyone was curious and Gash revealed, "White was actually Clear." The others were shocked and couldn't believe it, "What?!" Gash said, "Because on how dangerous he was, I reimagined him into a kind, little boy after becoming King." Kyanchome said, "As much I hated how scary his powers were, he could have taken out those bad guys for us. But at the same time," Kyanchome cringed, "He could have destroyed Demon World if he was still around, so never mind."

Gash was thinking about his deceased friends and felt really sad they didn't it. He was at least glad his best friends were still alive, though.

Scene: King's Bedroom in the East Wing's Residential Hall of D.D. Sanctuary (nighttime in Demon World)

After the party in the East Wing's Great Hall ended, Gash and Patie's best friends Tio, Kyanchome, and Byonko escorted them to the King's Bedroom, which is near the center of the sanctuary from a perpendicular hallway in the East Wing's Residential Hall. The King's room had a huge entry door. "Here you go." Tio showed them their room. Patie said, "Wow, it's beautiful, just like our old bedroom. I can't believe they spent their time making a room for us if we were never meant to be here." Kyanchome chuckled and said, "Kehehe, sorry if we messed up anything. We were being mischievous a little bit at times until guards thrown us out." Byonko said, "Sorry about that-gero. You two take care-gero." Gash responded, "Unu," and Patie nodded. Kyanchome rubbed the back of his head with his right hand and said to Byonko, "Hehe, we better get back before mom finds out or we're grounded again." Byonko, "Oh, no! Take care Gash-sama-gero. Take care Patie-sama-gero." Patie said, "Bye Byonko," while Gash said, "Bye Tio, Kyanchome."

Several hours later, after unpacking their belongings from their backpacks, Gash and Patie decided to get some sleep together in a nice, large bed, unlike the small floor bedding that they had to sleep together on in Kiyomaro's room. Patie said in bed, "Ahh, this feels so cozy. So nice now that we don't have to sleep on the floor anymore." Gash looked upset and Patie said, "I know your sad that everyone didn't make it. I am too." Gash said, "Unu. But I wonder if we made the right choice to come here. I'm glad I got to see everyone, but I wonder if I am an easier target here than the Human World or if the other way around." Patie said, "Well, we made that risk. I hope we're still safe. It's too bad we're not allowed to fight for you. I would fight to make you King again." Patie held Gash's right hand with her left hand under the covers. Gash said, "I don't want to lose you or anyone else. I hope I become King soon." Patie said, "I'm sure you will, darling. We still have hope." Gash responded, "Unu..."

Scene: In the wasteland of Demon World (dawn of the next day)

[Insert random ambiance]
Dawn of a new day in Demon World. "Keh, heh, keh, heh, keh, heh... Garche!" Brago was walking through a wasteland, alive, but severely injured, bleeding everywhere, not now, not here. I will not fall... Not until... He seems to be missing his left arm, bleeding to death, and he suddenly passed out and collapsed on the ground after screaming in pain, "Chee-arrrgh!!!" Is he alright? What caused him that much injury and how is he still alive after living in Demon World for a month, battling against the Acolytes of the Nether by himself? Who was he fighting and how is his soul still intact? Suddenly, two beast-like warriors approached him...

AUTHOR NOTES: Sorry it took me so long to finish this. I would have actually finished this much sooner but I was really held back by my New Year song cover remasters with six YouTube videos and there was so much to do for some of them. Also, as I was writing this chapter, I was doing character drawings of each character in this chapter that I introduced (six new characters).

List of updates in this chapter
  • Update #1 (February 27, 2022, 12:29 a.m. EST): Blogger and archived version-exclusive update: Several fixes made. I just now on the Blogger site noticed that TFK Chapter 6 was duplicated over TFK Chapter 5 and because of how different DeviantArt is now, this chapter's design is going to look different from all the others. So while I was fixing up this new copy/paste, I also made several fixes in this chapter exclusive to Blogger (I don't want to waste time updating my DeviantArt and FanFiction.NET versions).

List of characters in this chapter
Ordered from first to last. If a character was mentioned before being seen, I will place that character where he/she was first seen instead of the first time that character was mentioned. I will also list their roles, whether they were a protagonist, supporter, or antagonist of the chapter (or for the entire fan fiction) unless if they were only mentioned. Characters with "†" symbol next to them are deceased/dead.

Character roles:

  • Protagonist: Heroes that will commonly appear in each chapter.
  • Protagonist/Supporter: Heroes that won't get much attention but will still appear or at least be mentioned in each chapter somehow.
  • Supporter: Hero/neutral characters that will only appear in a chapter or two.
  • Anti-Hero: Evil/Neutral characters playing a "hero"-like role but doesn't want to be heroic.
  • Antagonist: Evil characters. The entire Demon Revolution Army are the antagonists of my fan fiction. Background antagonists are minor antagonists briefly seen or mentioned that don't get attention.
  • Mentioned only: Background characters that are only mentioned that don't have any role in my fan fiction.
  • Flashback: Only seen in flashbacks.
Timeline A characters
Timeline B characters (note: character roles may change)
