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 24 (The Fallen King Chapter 2): The Laughing Deathstock


Recap


[Insert random recap music]
It seemed peace was restored and that everything was normal in the past timeline. With the former monarchs resurrected, they helped their kingly son Gash with his work as King of Demon World from time-to-time. However, a month after their resurrection, they suddenly disappeared back to Spirit World. Apparently, their summoner's lifespan expired. Demon World civilians gave a proper funeral to the previous King and Queen of Demon World. However, hearing this news, how will Demon World of the past change? Will it be better or for the worst? An evil group—the Laughing Deathstock Gang—plans on taking advantage of the recent and past events...

Scene: King's Bedroom in Royal Bell Family Palace (same day in the late evening)


[Insert random romance music]
After the funeral for the former sovereigns of Demon World, King Gash Bell went back to his room in the palace, all depressed, sitting on his giant king-sized bed, curled up to his knees. Patie was there with him, worried about him, "Please Gash, I don't like seeing you this sad. It makes me sad too." Gash just cried. He believes that life isn't being fair to him like it should. Suddenly, an old maid knocked on their bedroom door, saying, "Gash-sama, do you want anything? Anything you need, dear?" After a long pause, she asked again, "Gash-sama?" Gash responded, "I don't want anything, Yuno. I just need to be alone." The royal maid Yuna, who used to be Gash's guardian but was abusive to him in the past, said, "Very well, dear. Let me know if you need anything." She left, worried for the young King, but also felt irritated for the King's attitude, quietly saying to herself as she left, "Oh, he gets on my nerves sometimes, even when I try to help." She would like to say, "That brat!" afterward, but she wouldn't want to insult the Demon King as she was already threatened by Prince Zeon Bell to be thrown in jail at one point in time for treating Gash terribly.

Patie was very concerned for her kingly boyfriend, "Gash-chan. At least let me make you a yellowtail sandwich; you didn't eat your dinner when we got back. I... I want you to cheer up." Gash isn't responding. His tears continued falling slowly. Patie was getting tired seeing her boyfriend crying, "C'mon! Gash-chan, you really need to stop acting like this. This isn't what I loved about you in the first place. You were always so cheerful, so happy... and handsome. Want me to look for another kind necromancer to bring them back, because I will if you're going to act like a baby." Gash stopped his tears and said, "It's fine, I'll get over it." He wipes his eyes. The orbicularis oculi beneath his eyes appeared red and swollen from all the crying. Patie said, "Doesn't look like anytime soon. And look at your eyes! You shouldn't cry too much and that's what you've been doing all these months." Patie, holding a washcloth in her hand which was used to dry tears from Gash's eyes, incanted the basic water spell softly and quietly, "Akuru," soaking the cloth with water without trying to get the bed too wet and washed Gash's face, "There." After Gash's face looked better, he said, "I was glad to see my parents again, even if it was short. I don't think they would like me bringing them back from the dead again. It might be better where they are. You're right, I do need to grow up, but... it just—it just feels so painful, no matter how much I try." Patie sympathized with him, understood his pain, "Gash..." She gently hugged him from behind and said, "There, there, darling. You're never alone. You still got people who love you, like me. So please, stop crying." She then kissed the back of his hair. After releasing him, she said, "You rest up. I'll get you a good meal, then we can play something." Gash responded softly, "Unu..."

Scene: Marketplace and northern border of the Capital City of Demon World (late evening)


After the funeral, everyone went back to their own business. A small group of four suspicious-looking demons in brown robes, head concealed, were walking through a marketplace. Lots of construction was still being made from the destruction caused by Dr. Zulu's Death Devil. The small bearded man in a brown robe said, "Aye, Boss, ye sure he'll come?" The Scottish voice and accent sounded familiar. His robed friend with the black sunglasses and a smirky faceresponded, "We finally got him to motivate. He should be here pretty soon. That's when we'll make our move. Kyeh..." Guess it is the Laughing Deathstock Gang, planning something.

[Choose random battle music: #1, #2]
Afar from the city was a titan-sized four-armed warrior in armor. This mysterious titan approached the city from the north with four giant weapons in hand: A giant battle axe in the top right hand, a giant spear in the bottom right hand, a giant sword in the top left hand, and a large metallic shield in the bottom left hand. As civilians heard stomps from afar and turned their attention to that direction, they panicked and ran away from their places, feeling threatened. This full-armored titan, who was just as big as the artificial demon titan Faudo, began to lay his weapons against city buildings beneath him. At the same time, many evil demons, who were underneath this titan rampaged into the city to cause mayhem. They must be minions of the Laughing Deathstock Gang and this giant titan is definitely a bait, which lured most Royal Knights to him if not all. This powerful-looking titan with lots of eyes covered in a metal helmet as well as eyes on his armor is named Argus, the Four-Armed Iron Titan (四本腕の鉄巨人, Yonpon Ude no Tekkyojin) and Hundred-Eyed Iron Titan (百目の鉄巨人, Hyakume no Tekkyojin). He has more eyes inside his head besides the ones revealed on his armor. His name is a reference to the one-hundred giant in Greek mythology known as Argus Panoptes (or Argos). He may be very shy and prefers to be alone, but he can be very destructive when he wants to be. How on Demon World did Maximus recruit this guy for his gang? Well for one thing, Argus was no longer part of the Laughing Deathstock Gang by the time the Laughing Deathstock Gang attacked Demon World in the present timeline after the Demon Revolution Army announced that other groups were attacking Demon World during the war [Argus left the group way before that war] and the Laughing Deathstock Gang was defeated by three Royal Knights. How will Demon World of the past timeline fair against the Laughing Deathstock Gang now that they got a chance to use this armored colossus as their weapon of mass destruction?

Scene: Royal Bell Family Palace (late evening)


Hearing all the commotion going outside the palace, Gash and Patie was going to check it out. In the throne room, King Gash asked his brother, "Zeon, what's going on?" Prince Zeon Bell was ready for battle but he responded, "Gash-sama?! Patie?! You two stay here. The city's under attack." Patie said, "What? What is it?" Prince Zeon replied, "Not really sure, but it's as big as Faudo." Gash and Patie were surprised, "What?!" Prince Zeon said, "Just stay here. Don't worry, the Royal Knights and I will handle this. I'm going with Liuetnental General Rajin, my mentor, to take a look outside the palace. Just stay inside the palace at all times until I return. I'll have highly-trained guards to protect the palace." Gash and Patie were getting very nervous. Under attacked without them even knowing. Well, it at least it drew Gash's attention away from his deceased parents for something more to worry about.

Scene: Marketplace of the Capital City of Demon World (late evening)


As everyone draws their attention to the colossus, especially military soldiers, Thodrum Thunderbeard said in surprise, "Jimminy crickets, he's actually doin something!" Another robed Laughing Deathstock gang member, under a huge cloak with a long body, said with a feminine voice, "I can't believe it. And just when I thought Argus was going to leave this group." Hyenus Maximus said optimistically, "Kyeh, now's our chance, guys, while those pesky knights are distracted!" Thunderbeard wondered, "But, Boss, what about the other muckers? Me brother Cid, Pilaf, Bozo, Vlad..." Max replied, "Yeah, yeah, I know. I wanted all of us to see this through and I don't want to lose any one of you, but they are willing to sacrifice their lives for us as bait. Their losses won't go in vain." The robed member with the large body said in disgust but in a sinister feminine voice, "Poof, enough with the friendship. Minions are just mere pawns and my soldiers live for battle." Thunderbeard was upset, "Araneae?! Me big bro Cid ain't some pawn." Araneae argued and insulted him, "You're right; he's definitely more powerful and useful than you. You should have been the pawn out there, shorty." Thodrum took that insult harshly, "Hey, take 'at back, lassie! Good-old Cid is juist protecting me an everyone—"

Max yelled hastily, "Shut up! We can't stall any longer. Let's go! We'll check on them after we claim this world. Thodrum, have your bombs ready before we siege the palace." Thunderbeard pulled out two black round bombs with light blue lightning logos, "Aye-aye, Maxie, me boss!" Hyenus then asked his two other allies, "Ready, Orgo, Araneae?" The fourth member said in a goofy voice while stomping his feet, "Orgo ready, Boss!" He seems to be another stereotypical muscle-based loveable idiot like the Dembot Guardian Unit ZDB-G01 Yeti and the restrained form of the archdevil Belphebub, and like Belphebub, who was a one-eyed ogre archdevil, Orgo is an ogre demon but with two eyes. Maybe ogre-like demons and devils are stereotypically lacking in brains. Araneae was already ready, pulling out a bow with an arrow infused with something lethal, "Of course. I've been waiting long enough, as Empress of the Arachnid Army." Judging from her title and body type underneath the robe, Araneae (full name: Araneae Zer'ghul) is a spider-like centaur demon, having the lower body and legs of a spider but with a humanoid female torso, two arms, and a female head. The four ran rushed towards the palace in low profile before tossing away their traveling robes that concealed them.

Scene: Outside the Northern Border of the Capital (late evening)


Many Demon World Military soldiers engaged battle with many Laughing Deathstock Gang members on the ground while the Royal Knights such as the Black Knight engaged battle with the Four-Armed Hundred-Eyed Iron Titan. "Halt, giant beast, you are under arrest!" The Black Knight then threw his spiral lance near the giant and using Cage Magic, the Black Knight summoned a gigantic magical metal cave, squeezing the Iron Titan as well as trapping nearby Laughing Deathstock Gang members. Of course, it wouldn't last long compared to the strength of Argus as the Iron Titan roared in anger, using Body Enhancement Magic to make himself physically strong enough to destroy the nearly indestructible cage with ease with his giant weapons and metal armor. As the Black Knight's owl companion was flying high in the sky, scouting the entire battle, he said in a panic, "Ooh, dear! This is not good, not good at all." He then sees a bunch of purple eyes within the small gaps of Argus' helmet, "Ahh! Is... Is that? Ooh, no! This is definitely not good." Argus, while he was attacking other people with his giant spear and giant sword, he flailed his giant battle axe in the sky, trying to slash down the tiny owl. Fukurō, being so small compared to the titan, dodged in a panic, yelling, "Black Knight-sama, help!"

As the Black Knight retrieved his spiral lance, he aimed at an opening to Argus' face and incanted, "Dioga Ranzuruga!," launching a giant laser beam from his lance, essentially destroying the full metal helmet at best, revealing a bunch of eyes around his head with the roots of his long iron hair located above the nape of the neck. All of the eyes opened wide and Argus made a huge roar. His thick muscles further expanded and he grew slightly bigger in size. His body was also turning metallic through Metal Magic in combination with Body Enhancement Magic via his rage. Argus went berserk and started swinging his weapons at random with his weapons empowered as well, being able to throw sharp aerial blades from his weapons that caused massive damage, slicing through buildings at long range. The Black Knight got caught in a huge slash, "Arrggh!" Fukurō cried out loudly, "Black Knight-sama!" Fukurō was then hit by a shockwave from one of the weapon slashes and fell down with major injury. There is no telling if the owl survived the frenzy as well.

Normally, with his helmet on, Argus is usually very shy—prefer being alone and he is usually harmless despite his size unless if convinced to do something—but once his head is revealed, Argus becomes a real monster, destroying anything he sees within his 360° vision. However, "Shin Uigaru Zakeru!" "Shin Aku Furizu Supureido!" "Shin Maguma Gurangaron!" Argus was hit with a massive electrical wind storm and as he fell down to the ground, flat, he was then hit with a massive splash of freezing water, becoming stuck on the ground. And finally, the ground beneath Argus quaked and cracked opened thawing Argus and burned him with summoned magma and lava from the cracks of the earth. Who could have used such powerful spells? One of the knights-in-action said in shock, "It's... It's the Paladins of Nature." The Paladins of Nature (自然のパラディンズ, Tochi no Paradinzu) are a trio of Royal Knights that utilizes the power of the natural elements to their greatest extent. The one that casted a powerful electrical wind storm spell that flung the giant metal Argus to the ground was General Whir, a male anthropomorphic eagle demon that's equipped with two thunderbolt-shaped short swords. Despite appearing to be serious and somewhat intimidating, he seems to be a really cool guy with a cool feathery hairstyle. Whir, known as the Paladin of the Sky (空のパラディン, Sora no Paradin), specializes in lightning magic and wind magic and other weather-based magic and he is considered to be the strongest Royal Knight overall, as well as the fastest knight (even without speed magic). He is based on the Māori God of Weather Tāwhirimātea (also known as Tāwhiri). As a matter of fact, Sir Whir of the future timeline [Timeline A] was Raiden Bell's number one role model and he was the first Royal Knight to be selected as the Knight Captain of the Knight Division. Knowing this, General Whir (and his future counterpart) has been highly regarded as the strongest Royal Knight but his future counterpart, who originally had the title of Knight Captain, gave the title of Knight Captain to Sir Rajin, which was then given to Sir Black Knight. In the past of Timeline A, Raiden would often challenge General Whir to a duel and would lose every time (even with his Lightning Absorption ability to absorb Whir's lightning attacks), but he had fun with it.

General Whir's partners, who are also few of the strongest Royal Knights are General Karoa and General Moko. Karoa, the one who casted Shin Aku Furizu Supureido, is a blue female marine mamodo with a tentacle-like skirt, fins, and gills (but also lungs inside her chests), wielding a blue trident in left hand. In other words, she is an anthropomorphic cephalopodic demon and she is amphibious. Karoa is one of the few females of the twelve Royal Knights and yet, one of the strongest, having the rank of General. Known as the Paladin of the Sea (海のパラディン, Umi no Paradin), she specializes in Water Magic and Ice Magic. She is based on the Māori God of the Sea Tangaroa (also known as Tankaroa). Moko, the one who casted Shin Maguma Gurangaron, is a male magma golem-like demon, wielding two heavy stone hammers, and he is the Paladin of the Land (土地のパラディン, Tochi no Paradin). Based on what he used and his appearance alone, he utilizes Fire Magic and Earth
Even though Argus took immense damage, his thick body was tough enough to endure some of the strongest attacks and slowly stood back up. General Whir grabbed the hilt of his left thunderbolt short sword from his left thigh with his left hand and said, "After all that, he still stands? Perhaps, he'll give us a challenge." His short swords are attached to magnetic plates on the thighs of his legging armor. Karoa said, "But Lieutenant General Black Knight... and his comrade..." Whir said, "They shall not be missed. We'll avenge all of our fallen comrades, for justice!" Whir then pulls out his thunderbolt short swords and spins them for a half second before gripping them. Moko yelled in a deep, serious voice, "For justice!" According to Whir, it may be confirmed that the Black Knight and his owl companion did not survive the slashing frenzy. However, these three Royal Knights, as well as the others backing them up, will be able to stop the Iron Titan's wrath. However, that leaves the Royal Bell Family Palace nearly unprotected. The King may be in danger.

Scene: Royal Bell Family Palace (late evening)


Inside the palace, King Gash and Patie suddenly heard loud explosions and electricity near the entrance of the palace while they were hiding in the back of the throne room with palace guards protecting them. Gash had the King's Wand tightly squeezed in his hands to make sure no one beside him can cast spells within a fifty-meter radius, so what could be going on outside? The palace guards protecting the palace entrance tried fending off the intruders with their weapons such as swords and spears but they couldn't stop the intruders and were taken out by the intruders with ease. The giant entrance door that was heavily locked was then bombarded with electrical bombs until the bottom of the entrance broke open. Right before that, one of the Palace Guards inside the palace said to their King and future Queen bravely, "Milord, milady, you need to hide, far away! Hurry!" Patie responded, "But—" Gash and Patie wanted to help stop this attack in his own way, but it's very risky. They should get out but it was too late.

The Laughing Deathstock Gang broke into the palace with Thunderbeard holding two more thunder bombs, laughing, "Har har har! Get thunderboomed by me thunderbombs! We're inside, me lads!" Another palace guard yelled, "Intruders, get them!" Six palace guards inside the palace charged after the intruders, gripping their weapons and preparing to strike. However, something speedy passed them. The palace guards stopped moving for a second, then fell to the ground either dead or nearly dead instantly. They were taken out by the gang leader Hyenus Maximus and he didn't use any spells to assassinate them. Patie in the back, hiding behind the throne, whispered in surprise, "W-what just happened?"

After that sweep, the gang leader Hyenus Maximus then resharpened his claws with his fangs and said, "We're in, boys! Nice work, Thodrum." Thunderbeard replied, "Aye, me boss!" Araneae was impressed, "Hmm... That went well than expected. Now what?" Hyenus Maximus said, "All we need to do is find the King, assassinate him, and I become the new King of Demon World. They don't call me Hyenus Maximus the Laughing Max-Assassin for nothing... or the Maxassin! Kyeheh. That sounds even cooler than Max-Assassin. Why didn't I think of that earlier? Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if the King evacuated, abandoned the palace. Kya ha! Let's just wreck the palace and rebuild it under our reign. Though, we still can't use magic so that wand might still be around. Hey Araneae, you said that the King's Wand can disable other people's magic, right?" Araneae said, "Of course, the King should be here somewhere and we'll hunt him down, whether it will be your assassination proficiency or with my X-Spider Bow and poisonous arrows or unless if we get a hold of that wand." Araneae then grabs an arrow from the arrow quiver on her back and injects the metal tip of the arrow with poisonous green venom from her fangs. Thunderbeard said while holding his sack of thunderbombs (there are still some left in it), "Ah canna replenish me thunderbombs until then." Hyenus fixed his sunglasses and said with a smile, "Sheesh, maybe I should have brought a sensory-type with us, but I love a good, blinded hunt. More satisfying assassinating a target without hints or tips. Kyahoho! Oy, Araneae, we still have that deal, right?" Araneae responded, "Of course," but said in her head with a betrayal look, for now...

Gash couldn't take any more of hiding and they will eventually get caught really soon so Gash revealed himself and said, "Wait!" and gave them a serious stare. Before that, Patie whispered in worrisome, "Gash-chan, no!" The gang was surprised with Hyenus saying, "Well, well, well. Guess the King was here all along. Welp, there goes my hunt. Alright, let's cut to the chase." Gash said in a serious tone, "Wait, why are you doing this? Who are you?" Patie exposed herself and said, "Gash-chan, what are you doing?" Hyenus responded to the King's questions, "Oh right, my manners. How could I forget, Your Majesty? I forgot to properly introduce myself to the young King before taking his head. The name's Hyenus, Hyenus Maximus, but you can call me Max. I'm a big time assassin. The Laughing Max-Assassin... Maxassin... whatever." Araneae was ready to fire a poisonous arrow but held off and said to Max in a serious tone, "Are you serious right now? Just finish him off!" Max replied, waving his left pointy index finger, "Eh, eh, eh! Wouldn't want to be too rude to His Majesty." He then said, "We are the Laughing Deathstock Gang and after everything we heard going on Demon World, we're taking this opportunity to rule the world. Rules? Laws? We don't need such bull crap in this world." Orgo in the background yelled with enthusiasm, "We'll crush you! Hoof!" "Hold it right there!" A voice yelled. Gash reacted, "Zeon?" Seems Zeon has returned to the palace as he and Lieutenant General Rajin, a Royal Knight, teleported inside the palace, protecting the King and Zeon said, "Stay back, Gash-sama. We got this." Rajin firmly yelled, "You shall not lay a hand on our beloved King, criminal scum!" Hyenus said, "Darn nabbit, was big old Argus not good enough for you?" Prince Zeon said, "We seen the diversion. Seems that giant was just a distraction for you to get to the King. Can't fool me." Max was impressed, "Well played. Ya' know, getting that big old Argus the Iron Titan to do stuff was really difficult. For the most part, he was timidly lazy and harmless. However, if his hundred eyes were to be exposed to the world, oh boy does he becomes a monster of absolute destruction! He'll destroy this entire city." Orgo checked outside the palace and said, "Ahh, boss. The big guy's already on a rampage." Max said, "Well, I'll be darned. So that's what all that ruckus was going on outside. So, Royal Knight and... Prince..., will you protect your King or this City?" Rajin said, "My fellow Royal Knights are strong enough to even take down Faudo. Surrender yourself peacefully, or see to it that I'll settle this myself." Gash begged, "Please, no killing." Zeon said, "Gash-sama, I know, but we're in another war. Sorry to do this." Zeon seems to know what's up.

[Choose random battle music: #1, #2]
Zeon takes Gash's wand, then casts, "Zakeruga!" making his first attack by firing a blue electrical laser beam from his left hand with the King's wand in his right hand, aimed at Maximus. Hyenus dodged it with his enhanced speed. He seems fixed on taking the spell-negating wand from Zeon's hand. Rajin makes a quick dash towards Hyenus and attempts to slash him with his sword. Araneae fired two poisonous arrows at once at Rajin. Rajin blocks them with a sword. Thunderbeard, holding two thunder bombs, said, "Get thunder boombed! Yee haw!" He threw the bombs at Rajin, which discharged green electrical energy upon explosion. It didn't phase Rajin much but it briefly stunned him. He is a powerful Royal Knight. Max said, "Use your thunderbombs wisely, Thunderbeard." Thunderbeard took out two more from his bag and replied, "Aye, me Boss!" Araneae then fired off four poisonous arrows at once, aiming at each opposing target including Gash and Patie. Zeon incanted, "Zakeru!" and shocked some arrows off-course including the ones targeting his family and Rajin blocked another with his sword. Araneae was getting frustration then focused her attention on Gash, jumping and clinging onto the ceiling, firing off five more poisonous arrows. Zeon blocks then off with his Lightning Magic again and says, "You'll not lay a hand on my King!" Araneae was getting really frustrated. If she could use spells right now, she would do whatever she can. Hyenus dodged a sword slash by Rajin and said while closing his ears, "Alright Orgo, do your thing." Thunderbeard and Araneae closed their ears as they know what's coming up. Araneae also jumped down the ceiling and the gang members braced themselves. Orgo took a few steps fowrad, inhaled his breath, and screamed extremely loudly, "Gravity... SCREEEEAAAAAM!!!!" His loud voice somehow altered the gravitational field in the area surrounding him that could hear his voice, which increased immensely based on the volume of his voice. It's not a spell, which means the King's wand in Zeon's hand will not prevent it. Everyone in the palace, even the gang members to a little extent, were immobilized by gravity. Using this very moment, being used to this level of gravity, Max takes this moment and quickly seizes the King's wand from Zeon's hand while Zeon was holding his ears with him reacting in disappointment, "No!"

Orgo stopped screaming and Max laughed, "Kyehehahaha! Looks like the King's wand belong to me now. All I need is the crown and I'll be King of this world." Rajin said, "You will not dare harm His Majesty!" Max made a quick order, "Orgo..." Orgo said, "I'm on it boss. AAAARRRRGH!!!!" He made another gravitational scream to specifically immobilize Lieutenant General Rajin. Max, with the King's wand in hand, incanted the following spells, "Gu Riaruku! Zeruku! Uruku!" Max turned invisible as well as growing long metal claws on his hands. In less than a split second later, with the speed boost from Uruku in addition to his naturally enhanced speed, Rajin was slain. His armor was pierced and torn in an instant and scratch marks were all over his body. Hyenus then reveals himself with his long metal claws slowly turning back to normal claws, "Keahahaha! No one can stand up to my Laughin' Deathsredder. Kyahahaha! Now then..." Hyenus fixates his eyes on the King. A powerful Royal Knight, defeated in a single attack? This Hyenus Maximus guy is definitely not someone to mess around with. He could have killed Gash at any time he wanted, especially since Max has Gash's wand to prevent others beside himself from casting spells.

Coincidentally, in the future timeline (Timeline A), Sir Rajin was also killed by Hyenus Maximus with the same spell combination and same assassination technique. Sir Rajin, Knight Captain Sir Black Knight, Knight Vice Captain Sir Earthand some of their Knight Infantries battled against the Laughing Deathstock Gang (including the rest of their gang members) and came out victorious with only the death of Sir Rajin. Fortunately, Argus the Iron Titan was no longer with them and apparently, Spider Empress Araneae and her colony of arachnid demons were no longer with them but the Arachnid Army has fought a different trio of Royal Knights and was defeated. Despite the victory of those three mysterious Royal Knights, they were apparently no longer found alive after the battle... No witnesses... That was when the Four Great Demon Lords of the Netherworld attacked Demon World of the present timeline so what could have happened...?

Anyway, back to the current battle in the palace, the royals are at a high disadvantage and Zeon is getting frustrated. Araneae laughed and said, "Fuhahaha! This is the end of the line for all of you!" Thodrum Thunderbeard cheered, "Yahoo! This is goin a lot smoother than Ah imagined." Orgo yelled, "Orgo crush!" Zeon then went with a second plan, "Headmaster!" Their school headmaster teleported, appearing before them. Patie and Gash wondered what he's doing in the palace, "Headmaster Inemuri?" Inemuri is a nickname for the headmaster, since he usually falls asleep every few seconds or so, even during conversations, but not now. Prince Zeon ordered the Headmaster, "Send Gash-sama and Patie to the Human World, now." Gash and Patie wondered, "What?!" The Headmaster opened a portal to the Human World. He can even do so without the King's wand blocking it. Max reacted in disappointment, looking at the wand, "What the heck?" Gash wondered, "What about you, Zeon?" Zeon said, "Go, now! Don't worry about me!" The Headmaster said, "This is for your own protection, My Majesty and his beloved." Thunderbeard tried to stop them, "Ah noo ye don't, wee lads," and threw thunderbombs at them. They want to do it fast before Max could go after them. He reacted in disappointment, "Why you...?! I thought this thing blocked spells?" The Headmaster stated, "I was the one that created that wand. I do host the thousand-year tradition to determine King of Demon World after all and I will not let you ruin that tradition, Hyenus. You were always such a trouble maker at school." Hyenus yelled in anger, "You old geezer! Doesn't matter. Alright guys, let's finish the rest of these chumps. We'll still rule this world if their King isn't around." Unfortunately for Gash and the others, the King's crown is still somewhere inside the palace. Gash wasn't wearing it at the time. Hyenus then puts the wand in his back pocket and now everyone in the room can cast magic. Zeon is a very powerful demon for his young age but would he and the Headmaster handle the Laughing Deathstock Gang and keep peace in Demon World again?

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 (April 6, 2017, 12:24 a.m. EDT): Further "enhanced" Thodrum Thunderbeard's Scottish accent. I researched more Scottish words and phrases as I was talking to dwarves in Final Fantasy (PSP version, as the translation of the PSP version of FF1 gave dwarves a Scottish accent). Currently playing that game.
  • Update #2 (April 14, 2017, 10:49 p.m. EDT): Fixing the spell name of Gu Riaruku (I accidentally named it Gō Riaruku because I got confused with the spell level type Gō). Fixing this for all chapters secretly.

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.
