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.

After stopping Demon Revolution Army from forming into the past, peace was restored in Timeline B, or so it has thought. After King Gash Bell's and Prince Zeon Bell's resurrected parents returned back to the afterlife and after all the terrible events that occurred before that, a criminal organization called the Laughing Deathstock Gang took advantage of its current situation and surprise attacked the Demon World Capital and took over the Royal Bell Family Palace. King Gash Bell and his queen-to-be Patie were banished to the Human World for protection until the battle was over. However, it turned out that the boss leader Hyenus Maximus the Max-Assassin successfully stole the title of King of Demon World from Gash Bell. However, in a short amount of time, the new substitute King of Demon World was overthrown by another evil organization: The Acolytes of the Nether, a cult of the dead. The Dark Lord took over the crown and the throne, submitting Demon World into pandemonium filled with undead beings, scouring the lands into chaotic darkness. Demon World Military reformed itself into Demon Resistance Army to fight against the Acolytes of the Nether and the Laughing Deathstock Gang before them to bring Gash Bell back to sovereignty. Will the Resistance defeat the Dark King of Demon World Gul'ren, or will the Resistance crumble by their hands? What are the Acolytes of the Nether's true purpose?

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

Chapter 30 (The Fallen King Chapter 8): Betrayal?


Recap


[Insert random recap music]
It seems the motives for the Dark Lord of the Acolytes to rule Demon World in unholy darkness was caused by the death of his older brother Zal'gor, who was King of Demon World 10,000 years ago, but only briefly. The Dreadlord Malfournis took over his brother's place as King of Demon World until death was brought upon him. Warchief Dan'ro Deathscream's orcish Death Knights found the Dimensional Eye of the Dreadlord, buried within the ruins of the Dreadlord's latest stronghold. This Eye seems to have importance to Operation 666 and Operation Null to revive the "Dark Master." Meanwhile, Major General Rosella was defeated by her ex-best friend Araesa Blackforest while her subordinate Lucida Starlily met a dreadful demise in the haunted forest of death. Before Araesa could claim her best friend's soul, reinforcements of extreme power arrived so Araesa hightailed out the forest. General Whir is bringing Rosella and Lucida's corpse back to D.D. Sanctuary while General Moko and Major General Barburos are escorting Gale Starlily back to the sanctuary on foot. Prior to the reinforcements showing up at the haunted forest, it seems there was trouble in D.D. Sanctuary during the acolytes' interrogation in the Sanctuary's dungeon. The acolytes snuck a bone of the Demon Beast Skeleton Stalghor into D.D. Sanctuary. D.D. Sanctuary was overrun by skeletons, spawning from the dungeons. T.F. Golbar had to rewind time twice to stop this invasion. Even though Golbar stopped the invasion, Stalghor knows where some of the warp beacons for D.D. Veni's dimensional portals are located and this could put the sanctuary in grave danger.

Scene: Dark Fortress of the Dark King of Demon World (morning of the same day)


NOTE: If you are having trouble reading Thodrum Thunderbeard's Scottish, use a Scottish to English translator. This is the first chapter I'm actually doing English to Scottish translation on Scotranslate and I apologize if you are having trouble reading through it but I'll provide a translation to the more difficult sentences. Previously, I played the PSP version of Final Fantasy I and talked to all the dwarves and figure out their Scottish words and wrote myself a dictionary.

[Insert random ambiance]
Outside in the front courtyard of Demon World, Hyenus Maximus was chatting with his resurrected buddy, Thodrum Thunderbeard. They were both wearing red acolyte robes. "Sae whit happened, me gaffer?" Thunderbeard asked in his Scottish accent and "gaffer" is a way of saying "boss" in Scottish but he usually says "boss." Maximus replied, "First of all, I'm no longer your boss. The Dark Lord... The Dark King is our boss now. I underestimated their power." Thodrum Thunderbeard looked at other acolytes in the distance and said, "Sae, ur thae th' lads that attacked us?" ⟨"So, are they the lads that attacked us?"⟩ Hyenus explained, "Not these particular acolyte dorks. But their necrolytes, the ones that wear these in blue, they are not to be underestimated. Killed us off one-by-one. The only reason why they brought you back is because I managed to assassinate another Royal Knight a week ago. I thought by killing a Royal Knight, they would bring Araneae and Orgo back too and they took forever to decide to bring you back, I couldn't wait any longer." Thunderbeard understood who their enemies were, "Sae they're necromancers. Ne'er wid jalouse we wid come o'er yin." ⟨"Never would have imagined we would come across one."⟩ Hyenus said while putting all of his fingers up, "Make that five. There was no way I could assassinate all of them. Kill one of them, the other will bring 'em back." Thunderbeard said, "Crickety on me biscuits, me laddie. Yer th' greatest assassin 'n' mercenary 'n' thay git onto ye?" ⟨"You're the greatest assassin and mercenary and they got onto you?"⟩ Maximus said, "Teh, they have a better assassin than me; that zombie who devoured your soul; Zon'mortuis, who is called the Immortal Assassin. I tried killing the Dark Lord. He just came back on his own. They surprisingly gave me a second chance and I had no choice but to give the throne and crown to the Dark Lord." Thunderbeard said, "Who's this Mirk Laird?" "Mirk Laird" is Swedish for Dark Lord (暗黒卿 Ankoku Kyō). Maximus replied, "He calls himself Gul'ren-sama, Dark Lord of the Acolytes of the Nether. I became their lapdog ever since, and you know how much I hate being a lapdog. Yet, there's nothing I can do about it." Thunderbeard said, "Ah kin see that ye'r frustrated, me laddie. Ye forordinar pull aff some jokes or laughs. Ah hae ne'er seen ye doon 'n' serious." ⟨"I can see that you're frustrated, me laddie. You usually pull off some jokes or laughs. I have never seen you down and serious."⟩ Maximus said, "Those days are over, Thodrum. I've changed. At this point, I can't believe I'm saying this but..." He whispers to Thodrum, "I wish the Resistance would win this war already." Thunderbeard whispered loudly, "Crickety, me laddie, oor enemy?" Maximus said, "And apparently there is this rumor that the tiny King we dethroned has returned to Demon World, probably into the place the Resistance were hiding." Thunderbeard wondered, "Pure?" ⟨"Really?"⟩ Maximus actually sympathized with the poor ex-King, "I may be a big-time criminal hotshot, but I kind of feel bad for him, actually." Thunderbeard was surprised, "Uhh?" Maximus said, "If we haven't attacked Demon World with Argus, none of this would have happened and we'd still be living in a boring world." Thunderbeard said, "Sae yer saying none o' this wis worth it?" Hyenus Maximus said, "At this point, I prefer having a boring lawful world over a dead world of darkness and despair. It was something that we've unexpected and we're usually the unpredictable ones, one step ahead of others." Guess Hyenus Maximus really had second thoughts in life. His life as an acolyte really changed his life.

Thodrum Thunderbeard coughed and said, "Kwah-ha-ha. Criminey, whit happened tae th' air, ah lik' tae ask? bin bugging me sin ah git back." Hyenus Maximus stated, "Like I said, we are living in a dead world. You'll get used to it with no living nature in sight." Thodrum Thunderbeard asked, "Dae ye hae ony fairn or cooncil juice?" He is asking if Hyenus has any food or water and Hyenus responded, "Yeah, but don't expect anything luxurious or fresh. A lot of things have rotten."

Scene: North Wing's Command Center of D.D. Sanctuary (morning)


Until General Whir, General Moko, and Major General Barburos return back to the Resistance base with General Whir getting a headstart to return the poisoned Rose Witch and the deceased Lucida of the Starlily Sisters, all of the other Royal Knights, as well as Marshal General Zeon Bell, are taking a break from the command centers with the exception of Lieutenant General D.D. Veni, who is resting in the northern command center, keeping watch for General Whir, General Moko, Major General Barburos.

Scene: C.S. Galactica's bedroom in the Royal Knight's hall (northern perpendicular hall of South Wing's Residential Hall) of D.D. Sanctuary


Meanwhile, Lieutenant General C.S. Galactica was in her bedroom, meditating to the cosmos. Her presence disappears whenever she meditates into the cosmos. In other words, outer space. She may be looking for planets to see if aliens could help Planet Terra's troubles but so far, no luck, not even on her birth planet, Planet Garnet, the planet of futuristic scientific and magical technology. Alien demons are most likely not going to help out other planets, but C.S. Galactica will keep searching the universe. If she managed to somehow be able to speak with other planets and miraculously persuade them to join the battle against the Acolytes of the Nether, this would be very advantageous for the Resistance. But even if a planet is willing to cooperate, none of them would know how to get to Planet Terra (Demon World). Planet Garnet with its highly-advanced magitechnology could reach Planet Terra in space ships and C.S. Galactica tried convincing them at several times to join the battle, as she has left the planet several times, but all governments of Planet Garnet in each of its country and continents declined since Planet Terra's situation has nothing to do with them and they don't want to get involve into something that doesn't concern their own planet. Though just in case if Planet Terra is unrecoverable, she has also been searching for empty planets where Gash could rebuild Demon World and one does come into mind but it won't be linked to Planet Earth of the mortal universe's Solar System.

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


As for General Karoa, Karoa is having breakfast with residents of the West Wing in the West Wing's Great Hall. She sees Brago sitting alone on the floor against a wall, eating his breakfast. He was eating steak and eggs with a glass of milk to the side. Brago seems to be doing alright with only one arm and it's very like him to eat alone. The Paladin of the Sea is curious about the new guest, she gave him a visit, "My, my? How are you doing newcomer? You okay with that one arm of yours?" Brago tries ignoring her and Karoa introduces and said, "Silent, are we? And where are my manners? I'm General Karoa of the Resistance. From the reports we got, you've been fighting the Acolytes of the Nether on your own for weeks. That's mighty impressive for an underage who wasn't experienced with military training." Brago said something, "What about it?" Karoa said, "I heard you were doing it for His Majesty. I can commend your loyalty. That power and loyalty would have made you at least Lieutenant or Captain-based level if were you old enough to join, though, if you were doing it for yourself, we could have locked you in the dungeon, with you being a potential threat until proven otherwise." Brago made an odd stare but remained silent, minding his own business, eating his meal. Karoa said, "My apologies for my rudeness. Anyway, enjoy, and please stay out of trouble. Excuse me," and left Brago to be alone. Brago still seems upset and serious about not being able to defeat the Acolytes and being stuck in the sanctuary as a refugee, but he had his time trying.

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


Marshal General Zeon Bell was seeing how the former King Gash Bell and Patie were doing in the East Wing's Great Hall. Gash shouted happily for him, "Zeon!" Zeon asked, "Has everything been alright for you two?" Gash said happily, "Unu!" He then frowned, "Though, not everyone made it. Schneider and others didn't make it." Zeon said, "I apologize we couldn't save everyone. Like I said, we saved as much as we could. I hope you are taking it alright. I just came to make sure you and Patie are alright." Patie said happily, "We're fine. The King's bed here was so much more comfortable than the floor we slept in Kiyomaro's bedroom all month and the food here is amazing!" Zeon said, "Okay. I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves. We're still doing all we can to make you King again, Gash-sama." Patie said, "Any idea?" With the risky plan Zeon and the Royal Knights planned out that could be all-or-nothing, Zeon was cautious telling them the plan, "I cannot say. I don't want to make His Majesty upset." Now Gash was more curious and worried than if Zeon were to them about it. Tio, who was also eating at the kids' table with them, yelled, "What do you mean?! When are we going home?!" Tio is getting really impatient not being able to return to Demon World after a whole month. Kyanchome pulled Tio back, "Hey, you really shouldn't really yell at him." Zeon responded to her, "That depends if we succeed or not. For all we know, we could all come out victorious now or be wiped out in an instant." Zeon pretty much summed up the result of the tactics to them. Gash wondered, "What do you mean?" Zeon tried explaining the plan in a different way, "If we were going out for an all-out attack right now, we could either win the entire war or lose the entire war in a single swoop. We're still thinking about our tactics and we want to end this war one way or another. And if we lose, you would all be stuck in this dimension or perhaps on another planet, if Lieutenant General Veni transports you all away, though, Lieutenant General Galactica is still figuring that out." The kids were curious if the Resistance could pull this off and win. Tio yelled, "Oh, come on! Don't you have anything to else to end this stupid war?!" Kyanchome held her back again, "Tio, please." Zeon said, "I said way too much. Excuse me, Your Majesty," and left. Another demon heard the conversation and wondered, "Is that true?" Some demons in the Great Hall who heard that conversation was very worried what was about to happen. They could lose their home and they would have to make new homes... Zeon really didn't want to say anything but Tio's impatience and Gash's curiosity gave it away. Maybe some of those adult survivors will join the Resistance Army to increase their chance of victory, even if it's just slightly.

Scene: South Wing's Bathroom and Residential Hall of D.D. Sanctuary


[Insert random ambiance]
After predicting a possible future of Demon World being attacked by a giant undead beast, Lieutenant General T.F. Golbar was in the South Wing's bathroom, washing his face, feeling despair, "I can't believe I had to use both of my rewinds just for that. And that beast I saw in the close future... What was it and why am I getting this odd feeling?" T.F. Golbar, for some odd reason, is feeling like something is haunting him. Every second ever since he used his prediction, he feels like his own fate has been sealed and he is starting to feel paranoid, "What is this feeling in my head?" T.F. Golbar is looking scared. Is someone after his life? T.F. Golbar tried to calm down, calm down, Golbar. Calm down. He takes a huge breath and sighs, then turns off the bathroom sink's water faucet. After drying off, he exists the men's bathroom casually. While roaming through the South Wing's Residential Hall with no one in it, an ominous sound passes with Golbar quickly turning around as a sudden reaction, "Who's there?" The hallways looked very empty. No one around... it seems... He was getting paranoid as turned around back to zero, thinking, am I losing my mind?Golbar turned around again and briefly, sees a shaded figure in his path...
[/End of random ambiance]

While sitting down in the North Wing's Command Center, Lieutenant General D.D. Veni just slightly felt something odd for less than a tenth of a second, "Hmm?" but he couldn't make out what it was. He can no longer sense Golbar's presence so he teleports to where T.F. Golbar was last seen. D.D. Veni was shocked, "What's this?!" T.F. Golbar appeared completely lifeless on the ground; dead in an instant with a small injury mark on his throat. What happened to the koala Royal Knight? General Karoa, holding a plate of eggs while walking through the hallways, found D.D. Veni standing over the corpse of his comrade and as she walking towards the main headquarters... "Oh, my! Lieutenant General D.D. Veni, what's the meaning of this?" She dropped her plate of food in utter shock. D.D. Veni didn't know either, "Karoa-dono? I—" General Karoa acted before D.D. Veni could say anything, "Furizudo!" firing a grounded beam of ice from her right hand, freezing D.D. Veni's legs to the ground all the way up to his torso, freezing nearly his entire body but his head. D.D. Veni was so confused as he struggled, "It was—It wasn't—" General Karoa tapped the bottom crystal spear of the bottom of her water trident in her left hand twice, which is a signal to call all of the Royal Knights to her location, as well as Marshall General Zeon Bell.

[Insert random suspenseful music]
Zeon, who came out from the East Wing's Residential Hall, first appeared and was confused, "What's going on?" D.D. Veni wondered, "Your Highness?" C.S. Galactica teleported in the hall through her galactic scepter and said in shock, "Oh, my!" General Karoa said, "I don't know what's going on but I found Lieutenant General D.D. Veni with Lieutenant General T.F. Golbar. What did you do?" Under the current situation from everyone's point of view, D.D. Veni appears to be a suspect of a crime. He couldn't have betrayed his fellow comrade, "I-I didn't do anything. I came here as soon as I detected Golbar's presence disappearing." Zeon checked Golbar's pulse, which wasn't beeping, and yelled, "How did this happen? Another Royal Knight? Dead?! Here?!" D.D. Veni said, "I'm not sure. I detected an unknown presence, which slipped my mind the second later." C.S. Galactica believed her living comrade to be very suspicious, "My my, are you sure that you are not lying?" D.D. Veni turned his head around and yelled as he suspects Galactica, "You! You're presence also disappeared during the time it happened." He was switching the blame to C.S. Galactica and she felt insulted, "Excuse me! I was busy meditating into the cosmos, searching for possible help in our galaxy."

Meanwhile, Sergeant Major Victor and Sergeant Leo the Red Lion, who were still guarding the dungeon in the southern main command center for no reason (since there are no prisoners), heard the argument and Sergeant Major Victor was shocked as they checked into the right side of the hallway, "G-Golbar-dono? What happened? Veni-dono?" Yep, it appears the blame is being put on D.D. Veni by other people, but they didn't want to get involved with the Royal Knights' arguments so they stayed away.

Zeon yelled at the others, "Shut up, I had enough of this. Until we figure out what happened to Golbar, we're putting Veni under lock until the other Royal Knights return." D.D. Veni was shocked, "What?!" Zeon said seriously, "You will cooperate until we figure out the real attacker. But still, I don't trust anyone of you. Clearly, there is a traitor in the mix and if it was you." C.S. Galactica wondered, "What if it was one of the necrolytes doing? Clearing one of their messes could have caused the enemy to do something else. They discovered our base." Zeon said, "True, but Golbar predicted the future with him in it and now he's dead here." D.D. Veni said, "That is true. Even I saw it in his mind." Zeon said, "But it's only a possible future and the future can always be changed, meaning that Golbar, who is lying dead—right here, right now—was assassinated after he made that prediction which means, it has to be one of you and you're appearing as the main suspect Veni. However, it could be anyone and like I said, I cannot trust anyone of you. Some Royal Knights you are. Traitors..." The other Royal Knights felt distrusted by their leader with General Karoa saying, "But, Your Higness—" Zeon yelled, "Silence. We'll deal with this when—" D.D. Veni just sensed General Whir's presence but can't do anything while being held frozen, "Whir-dono is waiting for me at the northern entry." Zeon said, "Oh, really? Bring him in and we'll discuss this with him." C.S. Galactica sighed at the timing the most charismatic Royal Knight returned, "Aye-aye-aye. This could get very ugly."

Scene: North Wing's Command Center of D.D. Sanctuary


After Karoa thawed most of her Furizudo spell on D.D. Veni besides his hands, leaving him with a block of ice as handcuffs, they escorted D.D. Veni to the North Wing's Command Center to keep an eye on him. D.D. Veni opened a portal with both of his frozen hands out. As General Whir was coming out of the portal with Rosella in his left arm and Lucida in his right arm, he said furiously as he was impatient, "It's about time you opened that gosh, darn portal and why are your hands frozen tight?" The Royal Knights were more curious about what Whir has in his arms with General Karoa asking curiously, "What happened to them?" General Whir said, "Major General Vincelot is confirmed dead and was under the enemy's control. Major General Rosella was poisoned by the Witch of the Black Forest and this girl's dead. I had to get them out before the enemy could use the girl's corpse too. What a drag... General Moko and Major General Barburos are on their way back with that other girl." Zeon said, "Get them to the infirmary. West Wing's fastest. There's something we need to talk. Many things to talk about but first, there may be a traitor in the mix." General Whir wondered, asking in a serious tone, "What?"

Scene: South Wing's Command Center of D.D. Sanctuary


After General Whir dropped off Major General Rosella and the torn and limbless corpse of Lucida Starlily to Head Nurse Margaret of the West Wing's Infirmary, Zeon and the other Royal Knights brought General Whir to see Lieutenant General Time Force Golbar's corpse lying in South Wing's Residential Halls. Everyone who was peeking out of their rooms closed their doors when the Royal Knights walked by to avoid suspicion. General Whir looks really furious, "What in the Sanctuary happened here?" Zeon explained, "According to Golbar an hour ago, all of our prisoners were infected by the Demon Beast Skeleton Stalghor and that Stalghor was planning an invasion. Golbar had to use both of his rewinds of the day on that and we had to kill all of our prisoners." General Whir couldn't believe it, "Are you serious? They know where we are?" D.D. Veni said, "Golbar then made a prediction that a giant beast will be appearing in Demon World. I could still see it in my mind." General Whir wondered with a serious look, "And you killed Golbar?" D.D. Veni said in a worried tone, "It wasn't me. Honest. I was waiting by the northern command center, waiting for your return, General. For a tiny second, I detected a dark presence near Golbar. I can hardly recall what it was but it was very ominous and unrecognizable. I came as soon as I felt Golbar's power collapsing. I still believe it has something to do with the Acolytes but everyone was pointing me. I'm still trying to figure out what it was but it has to do something with the acolytes since the Demon Beast found my dimension." General Whir asked harshly, "And how did he slip through your dimension?" D.D. Veni said, "My apologies. I didn't notice at the time when we brought that new acolyte in. He was holding one of Stalghor's bone and I didn't notice it until it was too late." General Whir thought about it, "That gives me a reason to believe you are a traitor in a way." D.D. Veni felt intimidated by General Whir, "But, General—" Whir yelled, "Silence! Why is it always the Paladins of the Universe causing problems, especially between you and Lieutenant General Galactica?" He stares at C.S. Galactica and she apologized in her French accent, "Mes excuses, General." Whir said to D.D. Veni, "If this wasn't your dimension, I'd have you locked up and disband you from the Royal Knight status or worse... executed, but we cannot kill you with ten-thousands of people living here. All of their lives are in your stake." General Whir sounded sarcastic in his last sentence but he can be really intimidating when he wants to be. Besides Zeon Bell, he also acts as the leader of the Demon Resistance Army. But yeah, if D.D. Veni dies, his entire dimension will disappear from the magical universe with everyone in it. D.D. Veni apologized, "My apologies, General." General Whir stated, "With Time Force Golbar gone, we cannot afford to make any more mistakes from here on out. Once Rosella heals and Moko and Barburos returns, we're launching an all-out attack, ending this for good. If we lose, that's it, we're done, and just send the survivors to another planet. I had enough of this. All non-Royal Knight Major Generals will stay to protect the sanctuary as well as you if I can trust you."

D.D. Veni said, "I can still be of use with my dimensional clone in Demon World while still being here at the same time." General Whir said, "That will be fine as long as you pull back into the sanctuary and if you don't turn your back on us. Whatever you do, DO NOT get your real self KILLED! So, before Moko and Barburos return, I want all non-Royal Knight Major Generals to line up at the northern headquarters." Zeon wondered, "What for?" General Whir said, "I want to be clear on the murder of Lieutenant General Golbar. D.D. Veni, I want you to give me your real honesty for each one of them and for yourself." D.D. Veni said, "Very well, Whir-dono." Even though Major General is below the rank of Lieutenant General, that is the minimum rank that General Whir believes that could have assassinated a powerful Lieutenant General Royal Knight with ease. But what if it could have been some other entity? But of all people, D.D. Veni cannot believe that he is the one being treated like a criminal even though he is very well innocent except for the fact he accidentally let the enemy know their location.

Scene: West Wing's Infirmary of D.D. Sanctuary


"Is it true the Mistress Rosella returned?" A young adult male humanoid demon with blonde spiky hair, eye lines, and nature-based armor suits asked the Head Nurse. Head Nurse Margaret responded, "General Whir just brought her in. She was very ill when she came him but she should be fine." A friend of this guy most have told him or maybe a rumor was immediately spreading. The 25-year old Sergeant-ranked soldier asked, "Can I visit her? She's my teacher. Well, my first and latest superior to be exact ever since I lost my other superior." By losing his other superior, could that have been the twelfth Royal Knight that Hyenus Maximus assassinated to bring Thodrum back? Head Nurse Margaret said, "Second room to the right. But don't poke into other things in the room." The man asked, "I wonder how Lucida-chan and Gale are doing. They must've been back too." Could this be Lucida's fiancé that Gale mentioned in her head? After opening the door to Rosella's room, Rosella appears to be well and sleeping fine, "So, Mistress is alright, I guess. I wonder what happened out there. Did she find Vincelot-sama, I wonder. Funny, I thought Lucida and Gale would be here beside her. I hope they're alright. Huh? Hmm?" He noticed a white blanket covering a body on another bed all the way to the end of the room. Even though Margaret told him not look into other things into the room, the man was too curious to check what was inside and when he saw Lucida's corpse with no limbs and a torn body, his body shook and he screamed in agony, "AAAAAARGH!!!!" Seems the fiancé has found the body of his dead fiancée.

Scene: Demon World around a North Wing's warp beacon


As General Moko and Major General Barburos were smashing the undead with their weapons while walking and escorting the agonizing Gale Starlily to D.D. Sanctuary, General Moko said, "We're almost there." Major General Barburos said harshly, "General Whir better have brought back Rosella safely in time." General Moko harshly said to Barburos for a sentence like that, "You do not disrespect Whir-sama in that tone." Major General Barburos said, "Rosella better be okay." General Moko said, "You better change your tone or we'll change your Royal Knight status to another Major General." Barburos apologized harshly, "Alright, fine. Sorry for saying anything. I'm sure Rosella's safe anyway. She's strong but she let her godforsaken feelings get in the way, again." Gale was so silent and was mostly mindless but she occasionally thought to herself, Oh, Lucida, why did it have to be you? I'm sure Zack is going to get really upset and probably yell at me. I deserve it. I should have been the one to die, not you. You protected me and I did nothing to protect you. I hope Mistress is okay.

Zack, full name Zack Snapdragon, proposed to Gale's sister Lucida right before the Laughing Deathstock Gang attacked Demon World so they've known each other for a long time. Zack is skilled in Lightning Magic and Plant Magic. In fact, his last name Snapdragon is based on a flower called dragon flower or snapdragon. Sergeant Zack Snapdragon trained with Rosella for a long time alongside the Starlily Sisters even though he and his 22-year old younger brother named Lotus were placed under the infantry of another Royal Knight who was assassinated a week ago by Hyenus Maximus during the war, due to lack of troops that unknown Royal Knight had since that particular Royal Knight's infantry were crushed by the military forces of Warchief Dan'ro's Death Knights of the Deathscream Clan and the Demon Beast Skeleton. Zack became part of Rosella's team again ever his since his previous superior was killed but he wasn't present at headquarters at the time Rosella chose her party for this mission, but he is one of Rosella's strongest students (but not one of her strongest soldiers).

As General Moko, Major General Barburos, and Corporal Gale were getting close to one of D.D. Veni's Dimensional Beacon for the North Wing's Headquarters, an army of skeletons appears around that area and waves of spiky bones launched towards the soldiers from another direction. General Moko and Major General Barburos dodged the attack while Barburos was holding Gale to get her out of the way. "Is the Demon Beast Skeleton picking a fight?" Major General Barburos asked. General Moko said, "Hold off his units and guard the lady. I'll get the beast." General Moko hops around and found Stalghor in his behemoth form. It's not the same behemoth that Lieutenant General T.F. Golbar described but it is a similar event.

Scene: North Wing's Command Center of D.D. Sanctuary


D.D. Veni said, "They're in trouble. The Demon Beast Skeleton has returned along with a big horde." General Whir said, "Open the portal, I'll deal with the small fry." D.D. Veni said, "Right. There is no point in pretending to hide this point anymore when the beast knows," and opens a portal for General Whir. One of the seven non-Royal Knight Major Generals asked, "What about our... inspection?" D.D. Veni said, "You are all clear. Your job for now on is to protect all lifeform in the sanctuary. We're preparing for an all-out attack but we need people to defend the sanctuary. I, myself included. Remember, if you find anything suspicious lurking in the sanctuary, kill it; destroy it with no question. Keep all eyes and ears out as Demon Perception may not search out the T.F. Golbar's assassin. Not even my psychic powers could clearly sense it so stay cautious at all times and watch each other's backs." The Major Generals said simultaneously while saluting, "Yes, sir." Seems like D.D. Veni has his name cleared as he is the one giving orders. Zeon still said, "I still have a bad feeling there may be a traitor, though. Everyone, watch yourselves and each other." The seven non-Royal Knight Major Generals said simultaneously while saluting again, "Yes, Marshal General-Your Highness."

Scene: Demon World around a North Wing's warp beacon


As General Whir appeared in Demon World, he swoops into battle, taking out hundreds of skeletons with ease with his thunderbolt swords and his speed, creating supersonic wind with his speed and streams of electricity passing through them. The other two Royal Knights were surprised and worried about General Whir appearing here with Barburos saying, "General Whir? Have you gone mad? You just revealed our location." General Whir said, "D.D. Sanctuary was already found out by the Demon Beast Skeleton anyway. He tried invading the sanctuary with our prisoners." General Moko said as he was battling the beast, "Then it gives it all the more reason to destroy the beast here and now. Dikaruku! Dioga Magumabauren!" The lava golem General Moko turned himself into a giant golem with Dikaruku, which is similar to Kyanchome's Dika Poruku, which creates a giant hologram of himself, except Dikaruku is not an illusion and simply turns enlarges the user's body with increased physical strength and defense. He then bashes Stalghor's skull with a powerful fist of flames, lava, and floating magma and cracked the Demon Beast Skeleton's skull. The Demon Beast Skeleton retaliates with a large roar, surrounding General Moko with a thousand spiked bones, throwing them at the giant magma golem. As Moko was enduring the powerful bone attack with ease, the Dark Lord grew worried and telepathically said to Stalghor, what are you doing, Stalghor? Pull back already. We have the Eye and we require your assistance. As Stalghor was burying his bones to retreat the battlefield and as the red scary glow in his eye sockets were disappearing from his body, General Moko said, "You're not getting away. Shin Maguma Gurangaron!" General Moko, in his giant form, stomped on Stalghor's giant behemoth form, smashing it to bits with a huge earthquake that created a fissure of lava and magma that buried and burned Stalghor's remains. The other Royal Knights weren't phased by the extremely powerful attack but Gale Starlily braces herself on Barburos's tall left leg as the ground around her was shaking, "Eeeee!" A few seconds later, Barburos said in his usual harsh tone, "You can let go of me, now!" and Gale immediately released herself from Barburos, apologized in fear, "Sorry!" When General Moko looked around, he noticed at least one of Stalghor's bones got away, burrowing itself underground, "Darn it." General Whir asked across the distance, "Did you finish him off?" General Moko yelled, "Negative! The beast got away again!" General Whir said, "Oh great, not what I want to hear. Veni, bring us back." Stalghor will inform the Dark Lord of D.D. Sanctuary's location. Anyway, D.D. Veni opened his portal to bring the Royal Knights and Gale Starlily back to safety... or what is safe for now...

Scene: North Wing's Command Center of D.D. Sanctuary


As the group returned to D.D. Sanctuary, Gale Starlily, being surrounded by very high-ranked soldiers, reacted, "Oh, my." Marshal General Zeon Bell said, "Did you destroy the Demon Beast?" General Moko said, "Negative. He got away. My apologies, Your Highness, but he may know our location and I'll hunt him down." Zeon said, "It's fine. Like you said, we are preparing for an all-out attack. Besides, the Demon Beast already knew our location the moment we brought in that new acolyte for interrogation. He infected all of the prisoners and had to be put down." General Moko said, "Oh great. Then we'll have to fight immediately. Assemble all warriors for the final battle." Gale Starlily doesn't know what's going on but she asked, "Hey umm, Whir-sama, where are Mistress Rosella and my sister?" General Whir replied while pointing in the direction with his right thumb, "West Wing's Infirmary. Don't take too long and prepare yourself for a potential final battle." General Karoa said, "There also may a traitor or something else in the sanctuary, just to let you know. Lieutenant General Golbar was assassinated here in the sanctuary." General Moko said in disappointment, "Oh, great. That ruins my plan. Who did it?" General Karoa said, "I suspected Lieutenant General Veni for being there. I acted too soon. Anyway, before his death, Golbar said that a giant behemoth is going to come." General Moko said, "Heh, it did. And it got away. That skeleton." D.D. Veni said, "No. From reading T.F. Golbar's mind, it was a different monster. One much more powerful than any of the necrolytes combined. One with more power than we can ever imagine, and if they plan on using that beast on us, we must act and fight now before it's too late. The plan's not ruined yet, as long as we have our non-Royal Major Generals here. Everyone, get ready."

How will Gale Starlily react seeing her sister's fiancé Zack finding out about Lucida's death? What kind of giant beast are the Acolytes of the Nether preparing to summon with the help of the Dimensional Right Eye of the Dreadlord? Will the Resistance Army win the final battle with only seven of the twelve Royal Knights remaining or is D.D. Sanctuary doomed, bringing everyone to extinction? Or will they be sanctioned on a new planet to start a new history, leaving Planet Terra in eternal chaos and despair?

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 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.
