Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army (remake)


Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army, also known as "Konjiki no Gash!!: Mamono no Kakumei-gun (金色のガッシュ! !:魔物の革命軍)" and "Zatch Bell!: Mamodo Revolution Army" is a Zatch Bell! / Konjiki no Gash (Bell)!! fan fiction that I created. This fan fiction takes place directly after the manga, more specifically after the one-shot Konjiki no Gash!! Gaiden manga. It takes place a whole year after the Demon Battle of the third millennium (200X A.D.) has started. 27 years later, an evil organization called the Demon Revolution Army is formed. This Revolution Army plans on overthrowing the kind King Zatch (Gash) Bell and put Demon World into chaos. Heroes, including Raiden Bell and Rain Bell, who are the (theoretical) sons of King Zatch (Gash) Bell and Queen Patie (Penny) Bell, as well as Zeon Bell (now a good demon) and his Demon World Military, are trying to put a stop to them. Can these heroes stop this revolution army from overthrowing King Zatch (Gash) Bell and prevent chaos from occurring in the Demon World?

This is a remade version of the original Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army fan fiction. The remake's storyline is similar to the original but written differently with some major changes to the story but still flows along with the original storyline. In this fan fiction remake, I will be using Japanese names and Japanese terms instead of their English counterparts.

Chapter 3: First Strike!


NOTE: This chapter is a remade version of the third chapter "Ambush" of the original Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army fan fiction series.

Recap


[Insert random recap music]
An evil, rebellious organization called the Demon Revolution Army (魔物の革命軍, Mamono no Kakumei-gun) was created and revealed themselves 27 years after the incidents. Apparently, they were responsible for the disappearing ex-monarchs and it was revealed that the former sovereigns were assassinated by this organization 27 years ago, which made the Demon King upset and angry that he accepted the Demon Revolution Army's war proposal despite wanting to rule as a kind ruler. The army will begin their first strike tomorrow.

Scene: Demon Revolution Army's current hidden base (midnight)


[Insert random mountain music]
During the same night, back at the Demon Revolution Army's secret base, "Tomorrow? Why can't we give them fear right now? My snakes are dying for demon blood," said by the serpent-like Death General with her snake hair hissing. The bird-like demon said, "Be patient Zedusa-san. We've waited over 20 years. Can't you wait another day?" An impatient, giant red demon growls and yells, "Roooar! I too can't take it anymore! I want to burn something to the ground!" A mage-like demon in white and purple said impatiently, "27 years of hiding in the shadows. I can't stand it. King Blondie must die now! Zeil, why didn't you do it when you had the chance?!" Death General #3 Zeil responded, "Our masters wouldn't like that at all; they do love challenges after all." The new Death General #9 Dark Zeon said with anger, "I don't care, I wanted to kill my brother. He didn't deserve to be King and he never did!" Death Generals #1 Zega#2 Zecross, and #7 Zulu returned to base and Zega said, "Exactly #3 Zeil, and thank you. And #6 Zedusa, #5 Zeferno, #4 Zophise, #9 Dark Zeon, please be a bit more patient. Anyways, our newest Death Generals needs an army." Death General #9 Zeon was laying on the ground and he said with an attitude, "Tch! I don't need an army! I'm fine by myself!" Death General #2 Zecross said to Dark Zeon, "You better be more respectful towards my elder twin brother, or I will end your life immediately, even though you are a fake." Dark Zeon got angry and said, "I'm a what?!" A second later, he calmed himself down and said, "Heh, it doesn't matter. I'm life-bonded by this loser anyways." Death General #3 Zeil got upset and said, "Ah, that hurts!" Death General #1 Zega said, "Anyways, prepare your armies. I will randomly select one of you fellow Death Generals and we'll attack next night, after I demonstrate my power to Demon World."

Scene: Campus of the Capital City's Demon World School Center (next day, afternoon)


[Insert random academy music]
A new day. All the demon children went to their own schools around Demon World. Students gossiped about the announced revolutionary war during school. School was over and all of the children were heading home. Demon World Princes Raiden Bell and Rain Bell were heading home with their best friends. Raiden said to himself with enthusiasm, "I can't wait to battle in this revolutionary war! PanchoNekolas, will you be joining me and the military to war?" Pancho replied, "If only if my dad let's me." Pancho (age 13) is one of Raiden's childhood friend and rival and specializes in invisibility spells. He is the son of Demon World Military's Ninja Captain Kyanchome and Pancho is an apprentice of the Ninja Division. Nekolas responded to Prince Raiden, "Ahh! I wish I could but I have training to do with my dad. You know how my father, the Red Lion, can be if I were to be late for family training. But I'll join in when I can." Raiden said, "It may be over by the time you do. Haha!" Nekolas said, "Heh, yeah right! I'll be in there at the last minute to burn and slash the final wave of enemies." Nekolas is an anthropomorphic cat demon that specializes in weapon-based fire spells and battles with a quarterstaff. While Pancho is a ninja apprentice, Nekolas is a knight apprentice of the Demon World Military. Apprentice-rank soldiers are usually newcomers or children and they don't go through the same training as the infantry and higher ranking soldiers. Most children are not allowed to join the real rankings of the Demon World Military (Infantry, Vice Captain/Head Nurse, and Captain/Head Doctor) until they go into their adulthood since they may still have school and because the upper-ranking training is more difficult and intense than apprentice training but there are some exceptions.

Then suddenly, "Raiden-kun!!!" From inside the school, a girl was sprinting towards Raiden at super-speed and glomped on him big time and Pancho dodged since he was in the way. Raiden tried pushing the random girl off of him and said in irritation while trying to push her off of him, "Haria-chan! What is your problem? Get off of me!!! Pancho, help!" Nekolas got jealous and Pancho replied, "Leave me out of this!" The girl Haria said, "Oh Raiden-kun! Please don't go out there and get yourself killed. I don't know what I would do if you were gone. Waaah!" And she started crying at random, worried about him. Nekolas said while blushing, "Uhh... Haria-chan." Raiden said to Haria while pushing her off of him, "I said... GET OFF!," and tossed Haria off of him and said to her in an annoyed voice, "Haria-chan, stop doing this! How many times do I have to tell you? I don't want love and I'm not going to be yours or anyone's boyfriend!" Haria is one of their other close friends. She is an anthropomorphic rabbit-demon that specializes in speed and ice spells and she has a huge crush on the Demon Prince Raiden Bell. Unfortunately, Raiden Bell rejects her every time as he is not interested in love for himself, but rather, Raiden is interested in relationship for other couples. Haria started crying a lot in heartbroken, "Waaaah!" Nekolas was disgusted with his royal friend and said to him while trying to comfort Haria, "Don't talk like that to Haria-chan! Now look what you've done!" Raiden said, "Then do something about it. Haria-chan, why don't you make Nekolas your boyfriend already instead of me? He is just like me." Haria complained, "But I wanted to be a princess. Waaah!" Pancho said, "A lot of girls in our school wants to be Raiden's princess but Raiden chose to be single." Raiden said to Pancho, "Finally you backed me up." Haria got over it and said, "Fine! I guess I'll spend time with Neko-kun instead. At least he appreciates me." Nekolas blushed and said, "Thank you... Haria-chan..." While Nekolas is similar to Raiden in terms of fighting spirit (and Haria loves boys with a fighting spirit for some odd reason), Nekolas has a crush on Haria and was jealous of his friend and rival Raiden for being popular due to being royalty. Raiden sighed and said, "Anyways, I'll see you guys later. Pancho, let's go see how my brother and your sister are doing. I hope Rain's alright."

While Nekolas and Haria were going towards Nekolas' home with Haria wiping her unnecessary tears, Raiden and Pancho were looking for their siblings. Pancho said while he and Raiden was walking together, "I'm sure my little sister is taking good care of him." Raiden said to Pancho with a smile while walking, "I wonder if they have doing any 'lovey-dovey' stuff. Heh! They are quite a cute little couple." Pancho said to Raiden, "Now if you if you can be like that." Raiden said, "I don't want my own girlfriend, you know that; I'm staying single." Several seconds later, they found their younger siblings and Raiden said, "Hey! Rain, Tioga-chan!" Rain responded, "Raiden-onīsan!," while the little girl Tioga next to him responded, "Pancho-onīchan! Raiden!," and ran up to their elder brothers. Tioga (age 8) is Pancho's little sister and is the daughter of Ninja Captain Kyanchome and Head Nurse Tio (yes, Kyanchome and Tio are apparently married) and she is skilled in mirror-related spells. But unlike her older brother Pancho, who has a duck beak, Tioga doesn't have one and just looks human-like. Raiden said to his little brother, "So Rain, how are you doing? I hope none of the bullies hurt you." Rain said quietly, "I'm fine." Tioga said, "Don't worry, I was with him the whole time. And I'll always protect him when you're not around Raiden." Rain blushed while Tioga threw some cute fists in the air. Raiden chuckled and said, "Hehe! Good. And I'll always be here for you if you need me." Rain replied quietly, "Uru." And Pancho asked his little sister Tioga, "And Tioga-chan, are you doing fine?" Tioga replied, "No need to worry, big brother [onīchan]!" Raiden said to Pancho, "Anyways Pancho, since Nekolas couldn't come, let's go training back at my palace." Pancho said, "Alright."

Scene: Demon Revolution Army's Current Hidden Base (afternoon)


[Insert random mountain music]
As soon as many demon schools ended and when children are leaving, the Demon Revolution Army are preparing themselves for their first strike. Death General #1 Zega said to his fellow Death Generals, "It's time." The other Death Generals got excited. #3 Zeil said, "Alright!," while #4 Zophise said in an irritated voice, "About time." #5 Zeferno roared said, "ROOOAR! Finally, we can burn this world to the ground!" #6 Zedusa said to her snake hair, "Don't worry, my serpent babies; we'll feed you soon and make everyone fear their lives." Zedusa's snake hair hissed. #1 Zega made his decision and said, "Hold on everyone. We're just going to do a warm-up. Death General #8 Zarpi, due to your patience, your up first!" Everyone else was disappointed and Zarpi chuckled, "Tee hee! Me first? Okay!" As Zarpi flew out of the base, Zega said, "#7 Dr. Zulu, bring your equipment and come with us." #7 Zulu responded, "Yes, master! Zehehehe!"

#4 Zophise asked, "What about us?" #5 Zeferno got jealous and said, "I wanted to burn this world! Why her and not me?" #1 Zega turned and said in a serious tone, "Zeferno, sit down! We're not going to attack recklessly! I did say we were going to do a warm-up." As Zega left with Zarpi and Dr. Zulu, #2 Zecross said, "Be patient guys. You will get a turn later." Zeferno sat back down in disappointment. Death General #9 Dark Zeon was thinking and said to his creator #3 Zeil, "Zeil, I got an idea." #3 Zeil read his dark clone's mind and said, "I see, so you changed your mind. Zecross-sama, with your permission, can me and my Dark Zeon head into the city?" Zecross responded, "You are not attacking Demon World today." Zeil said, "We know, but my Dark Zeon here knows someone in the city that could be helpful to us." Zecross said, "Alright, but keep a low profile and your not allowed to kill anyone, that includes the Demon King himself, without mine or my brother's permission. I'll join to keep watch. Anyways, I was supposed to join with my brother for this warm-up battle." Death Generals #3 Zeil and his #9 Dark Zeon left with co-leader #2 Zecross.

Location: Inside the Royal Bell Family Palace (afternoon)


[Insert random palace music]
Raiden, Rain, and their friends Pancho and Tioga returned back to the Bell Family Palace and are in the Throne Room. "Mom, dad, Zeon-ojisan, Koruru-obasan, we're home!" Raiden said. Their aunt Princess Koruru Bell was the only one that heard and greeted them home, "Welcome home Raiden-kun, Rain-chan. I see you brought your friends over." Pancho said, "Hey!" Koruru told Pancho and Tioga, "If you two are looking for your parents, they are here." Tioga said in happiness, "Yay! Where are they?" Her older brother Pancho replied, "Our father should be finished with his daily ninja training." Koruru said, "Yeah, and last time I checked, your mother is with Patie-sama." Raiden said to Pancho, "Anyways, let's go training, buddy!" Pancho responded, "Alright! Too bad Nekolas couldn't come today." Raiden said, "Yeah, his father Leo the Red Lion can be really strict. I pity Nekolas. Wanna come watch Rain and Tioga-chan?" Tioga said, "Sure!," while Rain said, "Uru!" Raiden then asked and teased his aunt, "What about you Koruru-obasan?" Koruru replied with an embarrassed expression, "You know I can't, for my mental issues." Raiden replied, "I'm just kiddin'." Pancho recollected one of their previous training memories and said, "Oh gosh, why did you have to bring that up? I still remember the time me, you, and Nekolas went all out on each other, your aunt comes in, goes berserk, and starts slashing everything, including us. That was the worst one yet." Koruru was ashamed and apologized, "I'm sorry! I try not to get involved in your boys' playtime." Tioga said, "That was pretty scary." Pancho said, "It's okay." Raiden said, "Anyways, let's head out to our training grounds by our pool." The four children ran towards their own training area and Koruru said, "You boys be careful."

On their way to the training area, which is past-by the palace's swimming pool, they encountered Raiden's and Rain's father, Demon King Gash Bell, and Pancho's and Tioga's father, Captain Kyanchome of the Military's Ninja Division, chatting in a hallway. "Hey dad!" The four said to their respective fathers. Their fathers responded back. King Gash Bell said, "Raiden, Rain, your back," and Captain Kyanchome said while patting his daughter on the head, "And I see my man Pancho and my little doll Tioga-chan are here too." Tioga giggled. Raiden said to Captain Kyanchome, "Captain Kyanchome, we need you for our training." Captain Kyanchome said, "Sorry to disappoint you, but I need to get my men prepared for this war." Raiden and Pancho were disappointed and they said, "Seriously?" Captain Kyanchome replied, "I'm sorry. Some of our ninja slackers need some extra training. And the Knight Division's special unit team—the Royal Knights—aren't here, so I need our ninja infantries' skills to be optimized." Pancho suggested, "Then bring me into the war!," and Raiden said, "Me too!" Pancho and King Gash were surprised, worried, and King Gash said, "You can't!," while Captain Kyanchome said, "I'm sorry, but as your father, I can't get you involved in this war." Raiden and Pancho were upset and asked, "Why not?," while Pancho continued, "But I'm stronger than most of your Infrantry-ranked ninjas even though I'm still at Apprentice-level." Captain Kyanchome said, "But son—," while Raiden interfered, "We want to defend Demon World too. We will risk our lives to keep this world and my father safe." King Gash was surprised and said, "But Raiden?" Raiden begged, "Please, dad! I know you always hated conflicts and me and Pancho want to help you, as Demon Prince and Ninja Apprentice, to defend this world so you can continue ruling as the kind king that everyone else loved."

King Gash was worried, couldn't decide, and said, "I'm not sure. I guess I will ask my broth—" Someone interrupted and said in a normal but harsh voice, "Absolutely not!" King Gash turned around and said, "Patie-chan," while Raiden and Rain said, "Mom?" Head Nurse Tio was also with her. "Tio?/Mom?," Captain Kyanchome and his children Pancho and Tioga reacted. Tioga ran up to her mother Tio in happiness. Nurse Tio picked her up and said, "Tioga-chan, how are you doing sweetie?" Tioga replied with a smile, "Good!" Raiden asked his mother, "Mom, why not?," and Pancho asked, "Mom, can I be part of the war?" Nurse Tio replied to her son Pancho while holding Tioga in the air, "No!," while Queen Patie replied to her son Raiden, "You caused us enough trouble in the past. I don't want you to make things worse. And I don't want to lose our family in battle." Nurse Tio said to Pancho, "That's right. You guys mean a lot to us." Pancho, and especially Raiden, were disappointed that their parents wouldn't let them to join in the announced revolutionary war.

Then suddenly, "I might consider letting them in." King Gash reacted, "Zeon-nīsan?!" Commander Zeon of the Demon World Military heard their conversation. Raiden and Pancho was happy they got Raiden's uncle to support them, but... "What do you mean?!" Nurse Tio reacted, holding Tioga still. Queen Patie replied to Commander Zeon, "We're not getting our children involved." Nurse Tio continued, "They are still just kids." Raiden and Pancho were upset about their mothers' opinion. Commander Zeon stated, "It's true that they are still 'children' but they are growing up, but we need reinforcements. Our Royal Knights aren't here and my Ninja Division is weak." Pancho stated, "And despite being Apprentice-leveled, I'm stronger than at least half of our Infantry-leveled ninjas." Commander Zeon said, "We'll see about that. If you two are willing to sacrifice your lives to save Demon World, I'll test your powers later." The other adults were upset and King Gash said, "You can't be serious brother?" Queen Patie said, "I don't want my son to get into this war." Commander Zeon argued, "We don't know how strong this 'revolution army' is. If we want to win this proposed battle and keep my brother as Demon King, we need stronger men, just to make sure. That way we can end this senseless battle quickly and continue living the way we usually do. I won't send any non-military ranked soldiers to war unless if we have to, and that includes us. And I'll take responsible for their lives." A moment of silence with no one else arguing over the Commander's suggestion. The commander's wife Princess Koruru heard them and was upset too but thought about it, then suddenly...
[/End of random palace music]

Location: Outside in Demon World's Capital City (afternoon to evening)


"ATTENTION DEMON WORLD!!!" A loud, amplified voice came from outside the palace. "That voice," King Gash said and Commander Zeon reacted, "Snap! Already?" Everyone inside the palace recognized it. As they head to the exit, Commander Zeon seen his wife Koruru and Koruru said, "Zeon-anata!" Commander Zeon reacted, "Koruru. Stay here within the palace—" Koruru interrupted, "I'm coming with you!" Commander Zeon said, "What?" Koruru said, "I want to know who's doing this." Commander Zeon said, "Fine, but stay close but away from any battle if there is one." Everyone that was inside the palace headed out and listened to the loud voice. A holographic image display was above the announcer, showing his face and King Gash said with a glare, "I knew it." It was Death General #1 and co-leader of Demon Revolution Army, Zega. Alongside him were Death General #7 Zulu, operating the holographic project (but the holographic image only shows the first co-leader at the moment), and Death General #8 Zarpi along with Zarpi's army. The other Death Generals still haven't shown themselves. Zarpi (age 46) is a female harpy demon that specializes in wind-element. She may not look strong but she possesses an ability that acquired her many allies.

At this point, the Knight Division's special unit team, the Royal Knights, found some other rebellious organizations on the other side of Demon World and are barely hearing this announcement. Among a clan of cat demons in the outskirts of the city, Nekolas said during the middle of his training, "It's that revolution army that are looking for a fight. Just you wait—Ouch!" Nekolas' father Leo the Red Lion punched him with a powerful fire fist to the chest, "Gō Gadyūbauren!" and said in a deep, war voice, "Do not get distracted son; continue training!" Haria was with Nekolas, watching him, and said in worrisome, "Neko-kun!" Nekolas said in an irritated voice as he was getting back up, "I know... I know..."

During that time, Zega continued his rebellious speech, "To everyone of Demon World, including the Royal Bell Family. Now that demon school is over for children, I'd say it's time for us to begin. But we'll do a warm-up and show you some of our power." He then looks towards the huge school of Demon World, the biggest building that can be seem by everyone, and pointed his arms at it and said, "First, I'll show you some of my power. Shin Shiraikeru!" Zega charged up a colossal ball of light and dark energy at the ginormous school. It's power was so beyond imagination that the entire school was destroyed in a single blast. That huge building that is noticed by everyone in this city was destroyed within seconds and no one reacted to protect it. All the citizens were shocked and were in panic. #1 Zega said, "Don't worry, I made sure to that after all the students have left the building. Hehehe! Although, I wonder if the Headmaster of that school survived that. It would be nice if that killed him too as we will no longer have someone to administer the millennium demon battles; that would mean that we can create chaos in Demon World for all eternity once we can take out the King. Hahaha!" From a distance King Gash and his party got angry and King Gash said, "Darn him! How dare he do that." Raiden, despite being angry, said, "Well, looks like we won't be having school anymore." Raiden instantly turned excited and said, "Woo hoo! No more school!," and King Gash said in a serious voice, "Raiden!" Raiden calmed down and apologized, "Sorry..." During that conversation, Death General #1 Zega continued, "That was just a proportionate of my power; I could have destroyed this whole city if I wanted to but it wouldn't have been fun." Commander Zeon was shocked and thought to himself, so that's his power. While his brother has the power to kill, this guy can destroy things... I wonder, does he have...?! Commander Zeon is a bit scared. He is guessing that this guy Zega possesses one of Demon World's most unforgivable-forbidden spells too, a spell stronger than what Zega just used, but different than the unforgivable-forbidden spell that Zega's brother Zecross had, Shidona Reaper, as seen in a holographic flashback scene yesterday. During that thought, Zega continued, "Anyways, Death General #8 Zarpi, you are your army are first to commence chaos!" #7 Zulu displays her image in a hologram through his projector and Zarpi said, "Tee hehehe! I'm first to shine!," and engages a battle with her army against Demon World's Capital City.

Commander Zeon said, "Captain Kyanchome, as lousy as our ninjas may be, let's test this general's army. The Knight Division needs to finish their training." Captain Kyanchome said, "Roger!" Captain Kyanchome called up his Ninja Division and they began to advanced forward towards Zarpi's army. Until they reached Zarpi's army, Zarpi's army will be attacking random villagers and destroying buildings in attempt to create chaos. King Gash said, "This madness!" Raiden Bell said, "We should go too." Pancho agreed, "Yeah!" Commander Zeon said, "You two stay back. Gash-sama, we can take an advantage of this battle; come closer and use your wand to prevent them from casting spells." King Gash said, "Got it," and pulled out his anti-spell wand, a wand that can prevent all demons from casting spells on their own besides the wielder within a 50-meter radius from the wielder. With that, he can prevent the enemies from casting spells. Commander Zeon reconsidered the boys offer and said, "Actually, Raiden, Pancho, come up with us to protect the King." Raiden and Pancho were happy but Pancho asked, "But what about the others?" Commander Zeon said, "Everyone else, stay back or return back to the palace."

[Choose a variation of Final Fantasy III's "Battle 1": #1 (NES), #2 (3D remake), #3 (Dissidia 012 FF)]
Commander Zeon and King Gash advanced forward with Commander Zeon taking the lead to get ahead with his Ninja Division. The ninjas grouped together and Ninja Captain Kyanchome said to his Vice Captain while sprinting towards General Zarpi's army, "It's our first real battle in decades. Are you prepared Byonko-kun?" Ninja Vice Captain Byonko said while sprinting, "I'm ready Kyanchome-senpai-gero! I've even trained our men extra for this war-gero!" Captain Kyanchome said to his Ninja Infantries while they were all sprinting, "How is everyone doing?!" His ninja team replied, "Fine, Captain!" Captain Kyanchome said, "Good!"

Commander Zeon appeared in front of his Ninja Division. "Zeon-sama!" Captain Kyanchome and Vice Captain Byonko reacted. Commander Zeon said, "The King will provide us support, using his wand to cut off the enemy's spells." Vice Captain Byonko said, "Good-gero!," while Captain Kyanchome said, "That will put us at an advantage. There they are!" General Zarpi's army were attacking villages and blowing stuff up. Commander Zeon said with a bit of anger, "Unforgivable!" Captain Kyanchome said, "We'll get them!" Commander Zeon said, "Alright. But try not to kill them unless if you have to. Capture them alive if possible. Gash-sama wants to keep this world serene so keep our King's reputation in good condition as much as possible." His Ninja Division said, "Yes, sir!"

Ninja Vice Captain Byonko said, "Time to test out my new spells in real combat! Nyushuriken!" Byonko created two large shuriken-shaped, high-pressured slime on his webbed hands and threw them at some of Zarpi's servants, cutting them (but keeping them alive) while protecting some endangered citizens as they ran away from the city's battlefield. Kyanchome incanted, "Dima Buruku!," and created 6 solid clones of himself and they pulled out their katana, slashing Zarpi's minions without trying to kill them. Zarpi reacted, "How dare you attack my toys?!" Commander Zeon thought to himself as he headed towards Death General #8 Zarpi, that woman is a general? Doesn't matter who it is, she and their army are committing treason. General Zarpi incanted, "Jikiruga!," and shot a concentrated beam of wind from flapping her arm-wings at some ninjas. "Zakeru!" Commander Zeon shot a bolt of blue lightning at Zarpi but she dodged the attack and she laughed back. Commander Zeon thought, where is Gash-sama? He should be close enough to prevent everyone from casting spells.

King Gash got in range with everyone and pulled out his spell-negating wand. However, demons were still able to cast their spells and King Gash said, "What's going on? This wand should be preventing everyone from casting spells. I know they are within 50-meter radius." Raiden said, "Let me try, Zakeru!" Raiden pointed to the ground and shot a bolt of lightning from his hand and said, "Dad, why isn't your wand working?" King Gash said, "I don't understand." From a distance, Dr. Zulu revealed himself in his holographic projector and said, "We see that the King's there. Zehehehe! Sorry to disappoint you! I know about that anti-spell wand of yours. Not only that my holographic projector creates holograms and projects our voice, but I have a special type of jammer installed in it to disable the powers of your wand when in-range. What do you think of my creations? Zehehehe! Death General #7 Dr. Zulu, out!" The holographic image display of Zulu disappeared. King Gash said, "Darn!" Pancho said, "Let's head back, Your Majesty." King Gash said, "Alright." Raiden said, "But what about the battle?" King Gash said, "You're not fighting. We need to make sure everyone else is safe." Raiden was disappointed but understood and said, "Fine!" The three retreated.

Meanwhile, there are a few demons sneaking around the city, spying on King Gash's other party members (King Gash, Raiden, and Pancho aren't back yet) from the darkness of an alley from a far distance. "There's your target; that pink one," Death General #9 Zeon said. Death General #3 Zeil wondered said as he looks at his target, "That beautiful-looking woman, what's so special about her?" #9 Dark Zeon said, "Take a look inside her mind." #3 Zeil said, "Alright," and looked into this woman's mind and heart and was surprised, but happy too. #3 Zeil said, "Hehe! You're right. This girl has two personalities; a very kind one and one that's very wild. Wow, beautiful but quite the berserker! Sure is strong but risky to use. But we'll tame it. Let's wait until I get the chance to extract that insane persona from her." #9 Dark Zeon said, "Can't you do it telekinetically?" #3 Zeil replied, "I'm not sure. At this range, it will be difficult for me to extract it and if I get too close, their sensory-types will detect us." #9 Dark Zeon yelled quietly, "You call yourself a mage and you can't do it this far away?" #3 Zeil said, "Sorry, but I've been more focused on my swordsmanship and elemental skills than my sorcery for these many years; it was one of my dreams to be the greatest swordsman, other than being a prank master. And I've been mostly extracting the darkness from demons' hearts on contact rather than telekinetically since it's easier that way but I'll be sure to improve the telekinetic range of my Dark Heart Extraction [暗心の抽出, Anshin no Chūshutsu] ability once we return." #9 Dark Zeon said, "Tch, if only you if you did that sooner..."

Back at the battle while Commander Zeon is battling against General Zarpi and Zeon's Ninja Division are fighting Zarpi's army, Commander Zeon thought to himself, shoot! That plan didn't work, but it doesn't matter! He then incanted, "Zakeru!," and shot another bolt of blue lightning towards Zarpi from his hand. Again she dodged it while flying in midair. Zarpi yelled, "Don't underestimate me!" Zarpi aimed her talons at the Demon World Commander and incanted, "Jikiraborodio!," throwing sharp aerial blades of wind from her talons. Commander Zeon dodged out of the way. Ninja Captain Kyanchome found a large group surrounding him and told his commander, "Commander, with your permission, may I use my special technique on these guys?" Commander Zeon replied while battling Zarpi, "Go ahead but remember: Wound, don't kill." Kyanchome said, "Alright. Shin Poruku!" Kyanchome created an illusory world of complete darkness in the area. No one besides Captain Kyanchome can see. "Why did it turn completely dark of a sudden? Why can't I hear myself?" Zarpi wondered as she and her army was under a world of darkness. Captain Kyanchome also disabled everyone else's senses of sight (it wouldn't matter in this world of darkness), hearing, smell, and touch (to make his physical attacks feel painless), although demons with a sixth sense could still feel Kyanchome's presence. Captain Kyanchome yelled (although no one can hear him), "Shin Poruku Technique: Dark Assassination! (シン・ポルク・の:暗暗殺, Shin Poruku no Jutsu: Kura Ansatsu)," and he and his clones used their real katana and start slicing up a lot of the army, dealing real damage to them rather than fake damage, while avoiding to kill them but this is essentially Ninja Captain Kyanchome's most powerful ninja technique and custom demon spell technique that is used for assassinations. He even saved some of his Ninja Infantries from near death although a few ninjas were killed in this battle, as well as few enemy forces accidentally.

Captain Kyanchome's Shin Poruku ended and Zarpi seen her entire army slaughtered in a flash by the Ninja Captain. This is how strong Kyanchome became over the years: From a wimpy child to a fearless, deadly ninja assassin. Known titles that Kyanchome has as a ninja are "Master of Illusions," "Illusion Ninja," and "Silent Dark Assassin," and is one of Demon World's greatest assassins. Zarpi was shocked and said in fear, "What's going on?! My... my whole crew! Screw this, I'm out of here!" As Zarpi attempted to escape battle by flying away, Commander Zeon yelled, "You're not getting away, Zakeruga!" Zeon threw his right hand forward and shot a beam of blue lightning at Zarpi at full force. Zarpi turned around and the electrical beam shocked her and penetrated through her stomach and thus, killed her. Commander Zeon just realized and said, "Crud, I overdid it a bit!," then thought to himself, Gash-sama would not like this. And how is someone like that a Death General?

Then suddenly, all the dead corpses started disappearing into spiritual particles. The others reacted, "What?" The spiritual particles all flew in a single direction and Commander Zeon said, "What is going on?" Captain Kyanchome asked, "Their bodies, why are some of their bodies disappearing?" He then remembered watching that holographic vision of the past and said, "Remember watching that vision yesterday, it must be that other guy's [Zecross] doing." Captain Kyanchome wondered, then he said his Vice Captain, "Byonko-kun, heal the wounded, even the enemies." Vice Captain Byonko was like, "Gero?! Why the enemy?" Captain Kyanchome said, "We need information from them. Then the Commander can erase their memory and they can continue their lives." Vice Captain Byonko understood and said, "Got it! Nyujio!" Nyujio is another of Byonko's new spells. He creates glowing green slime that can cover anyone and this slime heals the target over time and Byonko is using it on everyone at once. While healing all warriors, Death General #1 Zega's face appeared in a holographic vision again and Zega said, "Impressive. You got some talented and strong warriors. However, I didn't expect my eight Death General Zarpi to win this first battle. After all, she was our weakest Death General, but she had amazing talents that gave up allies. We'll be back later. Let's go #7 Dr. Zulu." Dr. Zulu responded, "Yes, master!" The holographic images disappeared and Zega teleported away along with Zulu.

Commander Zeon was irritated and said, "Making fun of us? Tch! Anyways, are any of these guys conscious yet?" Vice Captain Byonko said while healing some enemy soldiers, "Zeon-sama, over here-gero! Two are awake here." Commander Zeon said, "Capture them!" After Byonko releases his Nyujio spell from those two enemy soldiers after they've awaken, one of the enemy soldier said, "Where am I? And what are you doing?" Captain Kyanchome and Vice Captain Byonko arrested them and the other enemy soldier reacted, "Ahhh, what's going on? What are you doing to us?" They appeared to be confused and amnesiac. Commander Zeon gripped one by his shirt and yelled, "You guys have a lot of explaining to do. Who are the Demon Revolution Army? Where's your base? And why do you revolt Demon World? Answer now, or I'll beat the information out of you!" The interrogated demon got very scared and is completely confused and said, "W-what? I-I don't..." Commander Zeon yelled angrily, "Answer me!" The demon started crying in fear and Captain Kyanchome said, "Calm down, commander." Commander Zeon replied, "We need that information if we want to end this war quickly." He then said to the demon, "Now, answer. Tell me everything." The confused demon said, "I really don't know anything. T-t-the last thing I remembered was buying a gift for my wife. After that, I seen this one bird demon right in front of me using some sort of hypnosis. After that, I don't know what happened. What time is it? How long was I out for? What happened between I lost conscious and now? Please don't hurt me!" The demon said. The other awakened enemy soldier said, "Now that you mention it, I too seen a bird demon, same one right? I was in an alley and all of a sudden, everything went black. D-did we do something bad this entire time?" Commander Zeon was convinced that the demons they slaughtered were mind controlled. "We've been slaughtering innocents?" The commander just realized and was shocked. When the other hypnotized demons woke up, they too appear confused and amnesiac. Every ninja felt guilty on what they done. "Darn it!" Zeon shouted in the air. Commander Zeon apologized to everyone, explained what happened, and everyone are returning back to the party.

[Insert random battle music]
While still lurking in the alley, Death General #3 Zeil said, "Darn, Zarpi's battle is over and the King is almost here. It's now or never!" Death General #9 Dark Zeon said, "I'll deal them and grab the woman." #3 Zeil said, "Remember what Zecross-sama said." #9 Dark Zeon said, "I know." King Gash and the boys are almost regrouped with their party and King Gash said, "Hey, everyone!" The party was surprised. Raiden stated to them, "Dad's wand wasn't working," while Pancho said, "But it looks like the battle's already over. My dad is insane." Suddenly, a black Zeon Bell jumped high in the air with dark electricity charged in his hand appeared in between both parties and incanted, "Rājia Zakeru!" Rain Bell felt an evil presence in the air and said, "What is—?" Dark Zeon slammed the ground with his fist and created a circular shockwave of black, purple-glowing electricity, knocking back everyone. When Dark Zeon jumped in the air, as Commander Zeon and the ninjas are returning from afar, Captain Kyanchome asked, "Commander, what's that?" Commander Zeon thought to himself, that black lighting, then yelled in surprised while sprinting, "Oh no! Gash-sama, everyone! Let's hurry!" Back at the main party, Raiden Bell got up and said, "What was tha—Zeon-ojisan? What are you—wait?" King Gash got up and said, "That must be the black Zeon my brother was talking about." Raiden said, "Why you, Zakeru!" Raiden shot a bolt of gold lightning from his right hand towards Dark Zeon's feet (he doesn't want to miss and strike his friends/family) and Dark Zeon warped at high-speed towards the back end of the group. A small explosion occurred from Raiden's Zakeru and after the explosion when Raiden could see, Dark Zeon seized his aunt Koruru and Dark Zeon made a threat, "Anybody does anything and I'll blast a Zakeruga through her chest!" Princess Koruru got scared and said, "Zeon, don't." Dark Zeon said, "I'm not your goody-goody husband. Zeil, your move! Hurry before she turns!" Zeil teleported next to them and said, "Got it!," placing his hand near the center of Koruru's chest. Commander Zeon returned and said, "Is everyone okay?" Then notices his evil counterpart and reacts, "Dark Zeon?! Zeil? You leave my wife alone!" Dark Zeon said, "No can do! Zakeruga!" Dark Zeon shot a purple-glowing black Zakeruga towards him from his right hand while holding Koruru hostage. Everyone dodged to the side and Zeil has successfully extracted the darkness in Koruru's heart, removing Koruru's evil persona from Koruru forever (Koruru no longer has her berserk mode at this point) and formed it into the appearance of Koruru's berserk mode. Dark Koruru was wearing a similar dress to the current Koruru except its dark bluish-cyan-colored and sinister-looking and instead of having purple hair (like Koruru's usual berserk mode), Dark Koruru had dark blue hair.

Dark Koruru roared into the air and yelled, "Raaaargh!!! Zeruku!" Dark Koruru's claws extended and became sharp. Captain Kyanchome said to his Ninja Infrantry, "Oh no! Guys, protect everyone!" The Ninja Infantries responded, "Yes, sir!" Dark Koruru started charging after everyone in a slashing frenzy. The Ninja Infrantries jumped in-front of everyone, sacrificing their lives to protect the children and the royalty. Koruru, still held captive by Dark Zeon, yelled, "Stop it!" At this point, she would normally go berserk, but she can no longer do that as her wild persona is already released as an individual being. Dark Koruru turned around and attempt to slash her good counterpart. Zeil interrupted, summoning a sword to block Dark Koruru's deadly claws and said, "Wow, she's crazy!" Dark Koruru attempted broke through Zeil's guard and attempted to murder her summoner with a slashing frenzy. Zeil was bleeding and Dark Zeon said, "Oh snap!," letting go of Koruru to hold Dark Koruru back from behind and said, "You can't kill him. We'll both die if Zeil dies!" Dark Koruru wouldn't listen; good, evil, it doesn't matter; Dark Koruru would slaughter anyone she sees. Commander Zeon thought to himself, in that case, if we defeat the wizard, these two copies will disappear. Zeil got back up with lots of scratches on his body and said, "This was just a waste of time! Let's return back!" Zeil put his hand out and absorbed Dark Koruru, keeping her in his storage. Zeil then touched Dark Zeon. Commander Zeon said, "Stop them!" It was too late, Zeil teleported out with Dark Zeon. "They're gone," the others said.

After a few seconds of silence, Commander Zeon said to his wife, "Are you okay Koruru?" Koruru was in trauma and said, "My other side... killed your men... I killed them. Why was I born with that evil?" Koruru was crying in trauma. Commander Zeon said, "It's not your fault. She's no longer part of you. I'm sorry. I know how you feel. We both shared a dark past and now have to fight against them." King Gash said to Princess Koruru, "I'm glad that you can be yourself now." Queen Patie said, "You have nothing to fear Koruru-hime [princess]." Koruru said, "I'm worried about everyone. What if my other half and Zeon's other half were to cause havok?" Raiden said, "Don't worry Koruru-obasan, we won't blame you or Zeon-ojisan for the actions your former selves do. We'll stop them and put an end to this war."

After that was out of the way, King Gash said, "Anyways Zeon-nīsan, what happened during that battle?" Commander Zeon felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Gash-sama." Queen Patie said, "What happened?" Captain Kyanchome felt guilty and wanted to confess but Commander Zeon waved his hand to him, indirectly telling him that Zeon will take the blame and Commander Zeon said, "I'll explain as we head back to the palace." Commander Zeon explained to his brother, but gave a little lie blaming himself. The King and Queen were shocked; Queen Patie covered her mouth with her hands in worrisome and King Gash was very upset and said, "No!" Commander Zeon said, "I'm sorry." King Gash yelled in agony, "Killing hypnotized innocents? All I wanted was to keep this in harmony and serene. This will damage my reputation as a king ruler." Captain Kyanchome confessed, "It wasn't Zeon-sama's fault." Commander Zeon said, "Captain!," trying to stop him but Captain Kyanchome continued his confession anyways, bowing down, "I used my assassination technique but I tried not to kill as many as I could." Pancho said, "Father?," while Head Nurse Tio said, "Kyanchome?" King Gash and Queen Patie were upset but King Gash already knew, "I know."

Raiden Bell asked, "Father? We'll help you restore your reputation. Please, let us into the war." King Gash was worried and said, "I don't need my reputation to be damaged even further." Raiden said with charisma, "I said I'll restore it. I know I have been a troublemaker in the past, but I don't want you or Demon World to suffer like this. You've given me new powers 7 years ago and I want to save this world with that power, the power of Rai'oh (雷王, Raiō, "Thunder King"), the successor to your Baō. I don't want these powers you've given me gone to waste. We'll restore Demon World together. So cheer up and focus on winning. You won the Demon Battle in the Human World 27 years ago before me and my brother were born, and we can win this revolution war. We'll have peace back before you know it!" King Gash said cheered up, was convinced, and said, "Alright." Queen Patie was worried and said, "Darling, are you sure?" King Gash said, "Raiden's right, we'll restore Demon World together." King Gash then got an idea and said, "And speaking of 'time', I got an idea. I might know a way how to prevent this war from ever occurring in the first place." The others wondered what Demon King Gash Bell is thinking.
