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 have successfully defeated the Demon Revolution Army but with some costs of good lives. However, Dr. Zulu, the lone survivor of the Demon Revolution Army and former seventh Death General, plans on conquering the Human World and Demon World as the emperor of both worlds. Can these heroes stop Emperor Dr. Zulu from conquering both worlds?

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 14: A Warless Future Begins


NOTE: This chapter is a remade version of Chapter 15-1 "Operation: Oblivion" of the original Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army fan fiction series.

Recap


[Insert random recap music]

After the Demon Revolutionary War was over, former seventh Death General Dr. Zulu of the Demon Revolution Army invaded the Human World. Dr. Zulu plans on conquering the Human World and become emperor of the Human World, then plans on taking conquering Demon World as a Demon Emperor when he's done. Chosen heroes went into the Human World to stop the sadistic, mad scientist and his army. In order to reach Emperor Zulu's Imperial Tower, the chosen heroes destroyed the four Dembot Guardians of the Zulu Empire. After Dr. Zulu's Imperial Tower became vulnerable, the heroes invaded the tower, battling against Dr. Zulu's Battle Dembots. Upon reaching the second floor of the tower, the group surprisingly re-encountered the four Dembot Guardians, rebuilt. The heroes battled against the four Dembot Guardians again, then headed to the third floor to defeat Emperor Dr. Zulu himself. Just as Demon King Rain Bell was about to finish Dr. Zulu off with his second newest spell, Dr. Zulu successfully escaped the Human World and returned back to Demon World. Without knowing the whereabouts of Dr. Zulu, the heroes and Demon World Military returned back to Demon World.

Scene: Spring of Youth, Demon World (dawn)


[Insert random town music]
It was quite unfortunately that Dr. Zulu escaped the Human World. After the Ninja and Medic Divisions of the Demon World Military returned the Japanese humans to their homes safe and sound with their recent memories erased, Demon World Military and the others returned back to the spot where they first appeared in the Human World with the Demon World School headmaster teleporting them back to Demon World.

Upon returning, everyone was greeted by demons of the past (including Demon King Gash BellPatiePrince Zeon BellTioKyanchomeByonkoSchneiderWonrei, and Koruru), the other humans of the past (including Li Yen and Kafka Sunbeam), as well as Military Commander and Demon World Prince Zeon Bell, his wife Princess Koruru Bell, and a few of his knights and ninjas. Commander Zeon was the first one to greet them back, "Welcome back, everyone." Prince Raiden Bellboth Kiyomaro Takamine, and the others including the Ninja and Medic Divisions were surprised to be greeted from everyone else, with Raiden saying, "Zeon-ojisan? Koruru-obasan?," and young Kiyomaro saying, "Gash? Li Yen? Sunbeam-san? Everyone?" After a small greet back from them, Princess Koruru said, "Glad to see that you're all safe."

Among Raiden's and Kiyomaro's side, Kiyoshi Takamine and Takara Takamine were shocked and had no idea what's going on (especially Kiyoshi) and Kiyoshi asked, "W-w-what's going?," He looked at the huge, goat-like demon, which was the school headmaster, while Takara said in confusion, "Beats me." Adult Kiyomaro said, "It's been a while since I was last here." Commander Zeon asked as to why an older Kiyomaro and his family are here, "Why are they—? Captain Kyanchome?" Captain Kyanchome saluted and asked, "Yes, sir?" Commander Zeon yelled, "What's the meaning of this? You were not authorized to bring back other humans." Captain Kyanchome deeply apologized, "Ehh! Sorry, Zeon-sama! Sorry!" The school headmaster said, "Hohoho, it's fine. I'll send them back later." Adult Kiyomaro apologized, "Sorry Zeon. It's just been so since I last seen Gash." King Gash looked up and said with great happiness and excitement, "Ohh! Haha! So your big Kiyomaro!" King Gash ran and climbed on him quickly and said, "Now there are two Kiyomaros! Hehe!" Adult Kiyomaro said, "I got something for you Gash," and showed the young Demon King of the past a blue robotic toy version of Vulcan 300 and said, "Introducing, Vulcan 300 DX." The young King got super happy and said as his grabbed and played with it, "Vulcan! So cool!" Adult Kiyomaro happily said with Gash on his shoulders, "Be careful!" Gash pulled out the other blue Vulcan that his Kiyomaro gave to him and said while playing with both Vulcans, "Now I have two Vulcans! Hehe-he!" Kiyomaro's children were shocked in confusion and Kiyoshi said, "So, that's Gash? Whoa!," while Takara was still having a hard time believing this place and said, "Huh... So that's him. But wow, this place is so bazaar. Either I must be dreaming or dad's stories were true. Unbelievable..."

Young Kiyomaro just remembered something and tried telling both Koruru, "Oh, Koruru, umm... how should I say this?" Both Koruru already knew as they seen Human World events through the Spring of Truth and adult Princess Koruru said while looking depressed, "We know." Young Koruru was very sad and downed and said, "Poor Shiori. She didn't have to die like that, by those bad robots." Young Kiyomaro said, "So, you know. After all, the spring does show... umm... I'm sorry." Captain Kyanchome stated, "I should be one to be apologizing. I didn't save her in time before meeting up with you." Princess Koruru said, "I don't blame you, Kyanchome. There was nothing you could have done. I'll miss her. She was like an older sister to me." It has been confirmed that Koruru's former human partner, Shiori, was murdered by Dr. Zulu's Battle Dembots during the time both Kiyomaro, Raiden, and Haria went back before the Water Dembot Army battle and that those four found Shiori dead in her neighborhood when Captain Kyanchome appeared before them. Captain Kyanchome said while feeling down, "We lost so many lives. So many humans died today. And a lot of our comrades were killed. And some disappeared."

Commander Zeon said to his Ninja Captain, "Think again." One of the Ninja Infantries by Commander Zeon revealed their face (who appeared to a half-goblin, half-humanoid demon) and said, "We're actually back, sensei!" As the other shinobi revealed his face, Captain Kyanchome reacted in surprise, "Kurtis? Strago?" The second Ninja Infantry, Strago (who is an adult humanoid demon with purple, spiky hair and beard) said, "We're finally out of that empty void." The first ninja, Kurtis, said, "The Twilight Realm was such a pain in a butt. Most of our spells weren't working for some reason, except for Strago's and Victor's spells." The second Ninja Infantry, Strago, said, "Apparently, only light magic and darkness magic worked in that place, but nothing else." The shinobi Strago utilizes darkness magic. One of the Knight Infantries that were with them, named Victor—a humanoid demon with scars on his face, who specializes in light magic—said, "Took us forever to get out of that rotten world." Captain Kyanchome asked, "How'd you guys get out?" Commander Zeon said, "Apparently, according to them, there are portals that randomly appear in the Twilight Realm, more specially around during dawn and dusk of Demon World. However, only light and darkness magic can open them. I found these guys randomly appearing in my palace yesterday at dusk." Captain Kyanchome sighed and said, "Heh, well that's good news." Nekolas wondered, "By the way, Commander? Have the Royal Knights came back yet?" Commander Zeon said, "I couldn't get in contact with most Royal Knights, but Captain Black Knight and his Vice Captain Earth are on their way back along with some medics including the Head Doctor himself." Head Nurse Tio said, "Thank goodness," and Nekolas said with enthusiasm, "Sweet!," but wondered, "But what happened to the other Royals?" Commander Zeon said, "Who knows? They could be dead or lost. I don't know what's going around the world, but I hope they stopped other revolution armies and other potential rebels."

Prince Raiden asked, "Uncle? Have you happened to find Dr. Zulu? That darn scientist escaped our clutch!" Commander Zeon said, "We're trying. I sent the Knight Division to look for him but so far, no luck." Young Kiyomaro wondered, "What should we do?" Commander Zeon said, "You all done enough already. I'd hate to put your lives at risk again, so you, Gash-sama, and everyone else back to your time era. We can handle one mad scientist by ourselves." Patie complained, "Uhh, we're going back already?" Young Koruru said softly, "Kiyomaro and the others just came back." Commander Zeon said, "I still need to get the time machine back from the Robotics Shop. Those twerps better get that time machine stabilized for the final trip. I don't want to end up at the wrong time again. You guys better start packing up before I come back. Knights, your with me." The Knight Infantries that recently found their way back to Demon World followed Commander Zeon to the Robotics Shop. Commander Zeon stopped for a second and requested his younger self, "By the way, younger me, don't let Kid and Coral Q become scientists and store owners. They build crappy magitechs." Young Prince Zeon Bell responded, "I'll make sure to ban them from conducting magic science. We don't need such technology." Pretty harsh from both Zeon Bells. Nekolas agreed to them and yelled in disappointment, "Yeah. Those docs ripped me off with those broken spell-enabling belts." Haria said, "Calm down, Neko-kun. We have no use for them anymore." Nekolas said, "But still... Ahh, never mind." Captain Kyanchome said while taking off his updated spell-enabling belt, "It's better off that way. These things could also be used to bypass the King's anti-spell wand and assassinate the King." Captain Kyanchome then destroyed the center of his belt by crushing it with his right bare hand and his belt blew up. Prince Raiden stated, "Well, Rain-sama doesn't have one yet." The school headmaster said, "Hoho! I just made one for His Excellency." The school headmaster lowered his large, dark green hand and handed a new spell-negating wand (the same model that the deceased ex-King Gash Bell had) to King Rain as a replacement for the one ex-Death General #6 Zeferno incinerated. King Rain thanked him, "Oh, thank you," and grabbed it and looked at it. As long as its wielded, no one within a 50-meter (164 feet) radius besides the wielder can cast demon spells. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be able to block magical powers from magical technology (magitech), so it would be useless if the group were to confront ex-seventh Death General Dr. Zulu again.

Nekolas was about to ask Haria on a date, "So, Haria-chan, wanna—," until he was interrupted by Raiden, "Hey Nekolas-kun, while Zeon-ojisan is away, let's battle!" Nekolas said, "Huh? Not now, I was going to ask Haria-chan—" He was interrupted again by Raiden, "Pancho-kun, you too." Pancho responded, "Huh?," and Raiden continued, "It will be a three-way battle." Pancho said, "Hold on! We just got back," while Nekolas said, "Yeah, we could use a break." Raiden said in disappointment, "Ahh, you guys are no fun. Afraid that you'll both lose?" After taunting them, Nekolas yelled, "What'd you say?," while Pancho sighed while shrugging his shoulders and arms. Raiden said, "If you don't want to fight me, I'll call your dad to pick you up." Nekolas was stunned in fear and cried out, "What?! P-please don't call my pops. Alri-alright!" Nekolas may have got permission from his dad to go to the Human World, but he's still scared that his father would pound him. Raiden shouted with enthusiasm, "Yes! Kyanchome-san, will you set up our arena?" Ninja Captain Kyanchome responded, "Not now." Raiden said in disappointment, "Why not?" Captain Kyanchome said, "Look, we're all low on energy and I'm still at my limit. Creating hundreds of clones and putting humans to sleep took a real toll on me and I don't have enough for Shin Poruku." Raiden whined in disappointment, "Oh, come on! MmmmM... Fine!" Among Kiyomaro's family, Takara said, "Wow, these guys are such fighting freaks," while Kiyoshi asked, "Are all demons like this?" Adult Kiyomaro said, "No. There are many kind and passionate demons in this world, more than what stories and myths would say," and young Kiyomaro said, "But there are still evil demons lurking in this world. Ever since Gash became King, I was hoping all demon battles would have ended with Demon World in peace, but it only got worse with a civil war." Young Kiyomaro clutched his fists in disappointment and dissatisfaction for a second.

Megumi Ōumi said, "Okay everyone, let's start packing." Everyone besides the school headmaster (who stayed outside of the palace to do other things), returned to the Bell family's Royal Palace.

Scene: Royal Bell Family Palace (morning)


[Insert random palace music]
Upon entering the great entrance door to the Bell family's Royal Palace, both Kiyoshi and Takara was shocked on how huge the palace was. The two human children were astounded to see magical objects floating inside the palace like dust pans, lanterns, and other objects, and seen some palace maids, cleaning up the throne room with magic. They were already surprised seeing the exterior of the palace and the environment. Kiyoshi said, "Whoa! This place is huge!," while Takara said, "Seriously, it's like we're in a fantasy book." Adult Kiyomaro said to them, "That's what Demon World is like; a magical wonderland. This is the Demon King's Palace. Gash lives here." Kiyoshi said, "Amazing..." His belly then growled. Kiyoshi stopped reacting, "Ehh!" Adult Kiyomaro wondered, "Hungry?" Raiden's belly was growling too and said with enthusiasm, "Man, I'm starving. Alright everyone! Until Uncle gets back, let's have a morning feast!" Everyone agreed and Princess Koruru said with a smile, "After all that trouble, I'll make us a delightful meal." Raiden said, "But we have maids and butlers, Auntie." Princess Koruru said without worries, "It's fine."

After the huge breakfast feast that everyone had in the palace's Great Hall and with everyone's stomach full, Commander Zeon returned with an updated portable time machine and ask, "Is everyone ready yet?" Young Kyanchome said, "But we just got done eating." Commander Zeon said, "Well, when you guys are ready to return back to your time, I'm waiting. By the way, Nekolas, your dad is looking for you. Better get going now." Nekolas reacted in fear, "Y-you met my dad on the way?! Crud! Adios, amigos!" Nekolas ran out of the palace as fast as he could. His father is quite an impatient man. Commander Zeon also said, "You're parents are wanting you home too, Haria." Haria said and apologized, "Oh sorry! I forgot to call them. Tio-sensei, will you teach me other healing magic later?" Head Nurse Tio responded, "Sure." Haria then dashed out the palace.

Everyone packed up and said their goodbyes. Before Commander Zeon open a Time Gate in the palace's Throne Room with an updated version of the portable time machine that Dr. Kid and Dr. Coral Q made, he said to the Takamine family of this time, "You three, our old school headmaster is outside my palace. He'll send you back to Japan of the Human World." Adult Kiyomaro said, "Alright. Thank you. Ya' know Zeon, you really have gotten a lot nicer than when we first met." Commander Zeon made an embarrassing look and said while looking away, "N-nonsense. Just get going." The Takamine family was heading Raiden taunted his uncle, "Uncle's face is turning red." Commander Zeon yelled, "What?!" Princess Koruru laughed. Commander Zeon said while configuring the updated portable time machine, "Whatever. Anyways, I hope those twerps fixed the time traveling calculations. I'd hate to send you all back at the wrong time." After configuring with the small time traveling device (it was a quick setup as the machine saved the time traveling data of the last time travel), Commander Zeon opens the Time Gate to Timeline B/Universe 001, 27 years ago to the exact moment he, adult King Gash Bell, Ninja Captain Kyanchome, and Ninja Vice Captain Byonko returned back to the present day.

Before Commander Zeon activated the Time Gate, while the present time Takamine family were about to walk out the palace, Kiyoshi said, "Wow, this place has been amazing." Takara said, "Yeah, but too bad no one will believe what we just saw, so let's keep this to ourselves." Kiyoshi then felt depressed and said, "I wish mom could see this." Adult Kiyomaro was also feeling down from hearing that and said, "Your mom and grandmother would have loved seeing Gash again. Let's go." After Commander Zeon configured the time machine and opened a Time Gate, the Time Gate was releasing a powerful magical force upon opening. The Takamine family looked back before exiting the palace's entrance door and Kiyoshi asked, "What's that?!" Everyone across the Throne Room were waving goodbye to the Takamine family. The Takamine family waved back before everyone else (including demons of the present time among that group) entered the Time Gate. After everyone else went into the Time Gate, adult Kiyomaro said, "Let's go." As they exited the palace and met the Demon World School Headmaster, the Headmaster said, "Hoho. Are you ready to return back to your world?" Adult Kiyomaro nodded "yes" and the Headmaster teleported them back to Mochinoki City, Japan of the Human World.

Scene: Throne Room of the Royal Bell Family Palace (27 years ago in Timeline B)


Just right after adult Gash Bell, Commander Zeon, and Ninjas Kyanchome and Byonko were heading into the future with the children of the past and the Time Gate closed, another Time Gate immediately opened afterwards on the same spot. One of palace guards of the past timeline wondered, "What's going on?" And out came the entire group but without adult King Gash Bell and Ninja Vice Captain Byonko. The other palace guard wondered, "Back already?" Commander Zeon said upon seeing the two guards that threatened him earlier, "Whoa! Forgot you two were here." The first guard said, "T-that was fast," while the other guard said, "What's going on? Who are these other people?" Young Zeon said to his guards, "A lot happened when we went to the future." Commander Zeon said, "But everyone is safe and sound." The second guard asked, "But where is your King?" Commander Zeon said, "My brother, Demon King Gash Bell, died during our revolution war." The guards were shocked and Commander Zeon continued, "He sacrificed his life to protect all these younglings." Raiden Bell said, "Dad sacrificed his life to save everyone. I defeated my dad's killers and given the title of King to my younger brother Rain. We're his kids." The guards were surprised and the first guard asked, "And that green ninja's not with you?" Captain Kyanchome said, "My comrade sacrificed his life to save mine during the war we fought in. I still have yet to select a new Vice Captain of my Ninja Division." Young Zeon said, "That was some war we fought. However, we have a new job. But first thing's first, I have an announcement and I'm thinking of updating our military system to the one my older one has. I planned on it doing that anyway. As for the new mission, there are some demons I need you and the rest of the soldiers to keep an eye on." The two guards said, "Whom would they be sir?"

Commander Zeon said, "We're in-dept to your people though, so in return, we'll prevent the upcoming war from happening in this universal timeline. We're going to track down the demons chosen to be the Death Generals of the revolution army we fought." Commander Zeon reveals another magitech created by Dr. Kid and Dr. Coral Q and Raiden asked, "What's that uncle?" Commander Zeon said, "The dorks at the Robotics Shop made this too. Through out the battles we had, I collected some DNA samples of Death Generals we fought." From inside his mantle, he then reveals a jar of Zarpi's brown feather (Zeon collected this during the time Zecross reanimated her), a jar of dust from Zecross' corpse (after Zecross' soul was taken away), a jar of Zeferno's flesh (after Zeferno's giant body exploded from multiple assault), a jar of DNA samples from Zeil and Zophise after Zeon stole their memories (Zeon has a piece of Zophise's hair and some cells of Zeil since Zeil is bald with a few tiny horns under his hat). However, he doesn't have a DNA sample of Zega (but it wouldn't matter since he may be with his younger brother Zecross), Zedusa (but he knows where she may be found), and Dr. Zulu. Everyone was surprised with Prince Raiden reacting, "Whoa! I didn't know Uncle was being this... umm..." Commander Zeon said, "We promised we would protect this timeline's future. And this DNA tracker better work or I'm seriously shutting those guys' business down." He opened up a jar carrying Zarpi's undead brown feather and placed it on the magical device. The DNA tracker analyzed the cells and other biological things on the feather and a radar appear on its digital map with young Zarpi's location blinking on an area. Commander Zeon said, "If this tracker is working, the revolution army's eighth Death General Zarpi should be northeast from here, approximately 80 meters (~262.5 feet) away, although I doubt she's a general yet. It's that brown harpy demon that we fought before bringing you into the future, but you should have took a glimpse of her when Zecross revived her." Young Zeon said, "We'll take her." Commander Zeon said, "Keep an eye on her, but keep a low profile as possible. If she acts suspicious, then..." Young Zeon already understood and said, "Yeah, I get it." Commander Zeon then took out a jar of Zeferno's broken piece of flesh and analyzed it to find his past self's location and said, "We'll be taking out the others." One of the palace guards asked, "What about us?," while the other one said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, what should we do?" Young Zeon said, "Just stay to guard the palace until we get back." The guards said, "Yes, sir!"

Scene: Around the Capital City of Demon World (afternoon)


[Choose random town music: #1#2]
After the long conversation, the entire group split into two teams based on their time origin. Young Prince Zeon Bell and his team, including King Gash Bell, Kiyomaro Takamine, Patie, young Kyanchome, Parco Folgore, young Tio, Byonko, Schneider, Kafka Sunbeam, Wonrei, and Li Yen, are wandering towards northeast area of the capital, in attempts to locate Zarpi, although she could be moving at any time and the group would have to track her by luck or by communicating with the villagers that may know her whereabouts. Young Koruru on the other hand, went back home to her family as she was called home.

While walking around in the city, young Kyanchome asks, "How are we going to find these guys, especially Zophise? He went missing a few days ago and hasn't been found." Young Prince Zeon said, "Most likely outside of town but we will search for him. And because we heard about Zeil's criminal activities, I think he is hiding too. Older me will be able to track them down." Young Byonko said, "If we find Zophise, I want to be the one to beat him up-gero." Young Zeon argued, "Oi, my older self said not to fight unless if we have to. I know that you seek revenge but our mission is to do this with less violence as possible, under the King's laws." Young Tio wondered, "I wonder if we can find at least one of them soon." Young Schneider (Umagon) said, "Meru meru." Young Zeon said, "Well, this Zarpi girl wouldn't stay in one place. Everyone, keep an eye out for a brown harpy. We may have to ask citizens or listen for rumors and gossips. People around here do particularly gossip a lot." Young Tio said, "It's too bad Koruru-chan had to go home."

Young Prince Zeon and his team are searching around the city for their targets. They talked to some civilians for some clues. The civilians haven't seen a harpy demon named Zarpi but they knew an imp demon named Zeil, as Zeil use to be a prankster in his neighborhood and that he murdered his parents a few year ago, but they didn't know his current whereabouts either. A few minutes later after the group came around a restaurant four demons—sitting down next to a round table outside the restaurant—were having a conversation on a new rumor. One of the demon said to the other, "Hey, have you guys heard about that ghost story?" Young Zeon told his team to stop moving and eavesdropped into these demons' conversation without drawing attention. One of that demon customer's friend said, "Yeah, they say that a bird in the shadows caused them to disappear." At a distance, Young Zeon wondered, "A bird in the shadows? Must be this Zarpi girl." The third demon customer said, "A bird you say. Well, I seen one and folks were entertaining it or something." At a distance, young Prince Zeon said, "According to older me, hypnosis is the eighth general's special ability. That must be it." A fourth demon customer asked his friend, "A performer maybe? Where did you see it?" The third demon friend said while pointing his right green thumb behind him, "Right before we came here to chow down, a few blocks away, but I ignored it. Ehh, let's talk about something else. Anyways, have you guys seen my new..." Young Prince Zeon smiled and said, "Heh, well what'll you know. Alright, guys."

"So, does that mean one of those baddies are around here?" Kafka Sunbeam asked quietly. "It looks like it. And I believe its that harpy girl, Zarpi," Kiyomaro Takamine said quietly. Parco Folgore said with a smile, "So, Zarpi is a performer. I can provide better entertainment. Let's sing and dance! ♪ Chi-chi— ♪" Kiyomaro interrupts, yelling quietly, "Knock it off! Don't draw attention!"

Young Zeon's group continued their search and went through alleys, according to the information they got. They eventually found the young harpy demon, Zarpi (age 19) playing with some hypnotized demons while she was giggling, "Tehehe!" Young Zeon and the others stayed hidden away from Zarpi's sight. Zarpi said, "Playing with these folks are always fun. Now boys, I want you to hop for me." The hypnotized demons bounced up and down. Megumi Ōumi quietly said, "She's manipulating those demons." Young Patie quietly said, "That's just wrong. If I was queen right now, I wouldn't arrest her. I wouldn't let her manipulate innocent people like that." Young Patie then remembered the guilt she had when she joined Zophise and commanded an army of ancient demons. Young Byonko quietly asked, "What wrong Patie-hime-gero?" Young Patie quietly said, "Nothing... just... remembering those horrible things... we did back in Human World." Young Byonko too felt the guild and understand Patie's feelings. Young King Gash quietly said optimistically, "Don't worry about it, Patie-chan. You already made up your mistakes." Young Patie quietly said in guilt, "I don't feel like I have redeemed myself yet. And I want to become the kind queen you wanted me to be." King Gash said, "You will." Young Zeon said, "Can we not have a discussion like that at a time like this? Your Majesty, your call." King Gash made a serious-look and said, "Controlling other people is wrong. I won't let anyone be manipulated like that."

King Gash went out of hiding with his spell-negating wand in hand to prevent demons within a 50-meter radius of the user from casting spells, but it doesn't stop non-spell magic and said, "Zarpi, stop it. What you are doing is wrong!" Zarpi looked at him in confusion, "Ehh?," while making her demon "puppet" stationary for the time being. Prince Zeon thought to himself, jumping to the gun already, then showed up to and said, "Zarpi, under the King's new law, you're under arrest for kidnapping and civil manipulation." Zarpi yelled in fear while trying to think, "Crud! It's the King! Umm... uh... Bye!" Zarpi released the demons from her control as they fell back asleep and Zarpi started flying away. King Gash yelled, "Wait, stop!" Young Prince Zeon said, "Put down your wand Gash." Gash wondered, "Huh?" Zeon can't cast spells while Gash wields it so with barely any time to think, Zeon just takes his brother's wand from his hand and incanted, "Zakeru!," pointing his right hand at Zarpi and shot her down with a bolt of light-blue lightning. Zarpi reacted in pain, "Zeeeeek!," while falling down. Young Prince Zeon gave the wand back to his brother and King Gash said, "Hey, you didn't have to use violence." Prince Zeon said, "She gave us no choice. After her!" Megumi wondered, "But what about these demons?" Kiyomaro said, "They'll be fine." The group chased after the fallen Zarpi.

As Zarpi landed on the ground, she said while trying to get up, "Eeeee! Oof! I hate being electrocuted..." While Zarpi was trying to get up, Zeon knocked her out with his fist from behind to the head and King Gash said, "Brother, that's no way to treat a lady." Zeon said, "You're too soft, Your Majesty. A criminal's a criminal. Let's just erase her memories and head back to the palace. She'll never do these things again." Young Prince Zeon then proceeded to erase Zarpi's memories by placing his hand over her head, making sure she won't ever get the idea of rebelling Demon World and Byonko complained, "And you told us not to fight-gero." King Gash was remembering the time when Zeon once erased his memories of the Human World and Kiyomaro wondered and asked, "Remembering the time when Zeon took away your memories of Demon World, right?" King Gash said, "Unu..." Patie said while giving a dirty look to Zeon, "He's very cruel. If it wasn't for him, you would have remembered me and we wouldn't have been fighting. And we would have been boyfriend-girlfriend since our first day of meeting each other in the Human World and we wouldn't have fought against each other." Through her random soft emotions, Patie then randomly gave King Gash a big hug. King Gash said while struggling, "Patie-chan, you're squeezing me again." Tio said, "Patie, Gash doesn't like to be squeezed like that." King Gash continued, "And I don't think I would have accepted back then." Patie released him and yelled in disappointment, "What?! Oh darling, how could you?!" Young Byonko said in guilt, "Umm... it's my fault that happened-gero. I was the idiot that brought you to... umm... gero..." Kyanchome said, "That Zophise was a jerk." Young Byonko agreed, "Yeah, a jerk-gero!" King Gash said to Patie, "I... I wasn't into that sort of that thing until... mom... and dad..." Patie said, "I know. I'm sorry. And tell you what, if we can find a nice necromancer and not that bad guy who used our older selves' body, I'll bring back your parents." King Gash smiled and said, "Really?" Patie said with a smile, "It's a promise. But promising me I can still live with you and sleep with you." She then said softly with her face down, "After all, you're family to me... and I don't have anyone else." King Gash delayed for a second, then agreed, "Unu!" Patie smiled. Li Yen said to the young couple, "Oh, how romantic. It's like us Wonrei." As Li Yen laid her head on Wonrei, he blushed and said, "Uh... yeah..."

After erasing Zarpi's memories, Prince Zeon said with a neutral expression, "Heh! Good luck with that. Necromancers are extremely rare in Demon World. Besides, I would end up banning the practice of necromancy. It ruins the natural order." Patie gave Zeon a nasty stare and yelled angrily cute (instead of monstrously like she normally does), "You big meany, you care no one but yourself! Hurting my Gashie-poo, taking away his memories." King Gash was holding Patie back while Patie was insulting Prince Zeon. Prince Zeon thought to himself, man, she's really annoying. Why's Gash-sama making someone this obnoxious his queen? While holding Patie back, King Gash said, "Patie, stop it." Patie instantly calmed down and said, "But—" King Gash said, "It's alright. And you said you wanted to be a king queen. I can't make you one if you act like that. You have to be nice to everyone or I can't..." Patie apologized softly, "I'm sorry," then instantly begged, "Please don't kick me out the palace! I'm sorry to disappoint you, darling! Waaah!!" She instantly cried. King Gash said while holding her still, "Patie-chan, I... I wouldn't do that. And don't cry." Patie thanked him happily and hugged him deeply again, "Thank you, my darling!" Then quickly kissed him on the cheek. King Gash yelled while crying and struggling to break free, "Uuunu... Patie-chan, stop squeezing me-hehehe!" The rest of the group sighed in awkwardness and Prince Zeon started walking past them in embarrassment and anger and yelled, "Will you shut up! Enough, we're done here! Don't draw attention to yourselves and let's go." Patie calmed down a bit but said with a mean look, "I bet you're no fun at parties." Zeon then mumbled to himself, "I can't believe I have to put up with this."

Scene: Around the wastelands and mountains of Demon World (afternoon to evening)


[Insert random eerie music]
Meanwhile, somewhere very far away into the distance among the wastelands, plateaus, and mountains, there lies a clan of huge demonic beasts. A huge, red-skinned, devilish-like demon was about to go on a rampage, "I can't stand this madness anymore. RAAAAAAWRRRR!!! Gerr, I hate the new king and his stupid rules." A dark blue-colored greater demon laughed and said, "Gwahahaha! Your right, but Zeferno, there's more to life than burning things into the ground." The red greater demon Zeferno (age 139) argued, "There is nothing I crave for other than destruction, Zorc." A brownish-red greater demon said with a smile, "Gehe! You are so boring. Why not play in the gardens?" Zeferno yelled back, "Can it, Demoruto! You are still a mere child." The brownish-red greater demon Demoruto said, "Well technically, I would be much older than you, a lot older than you, if I wasn't petrified by Goren of the Stone for a thousand years." Zeferno argued, "Exactly. You know nothing of our species. We crave for destruction, chaos, not playing around in stupid gardens! Shigadyūkeru!" Zeferno breathed out flames to the distance and incinerated a garden of rotten desert demon plants. Demoruto cried, "My garden! What'd you do that for?" Zorc said, "Wow, that was really cold of you," then laughed and said, "Gwahaha! Get it? Gawahaha!," then thought about it and said, "Wait, I said that wrong. I'm the one with dark ice powers." Zeferno said, "And screw you and your humor Zorc. You guys are disgrace to our kind. And don't call me cold. I am Zeferno, Devil of the Black Flames. And I will burn this world into the ground." Zorc said, "Good luck with that, especially with the King's new laws." Zeferno said, "Whatever. Screw you guys, I'm going back to sleep," and walked away while Demoruto was still crying over his torched desert garden in the distance. Zorc said, "A nap? But didn't you want to—whatever, I'm heading home. Come Demoruto, I'm not leaving a thousand-year old child behind."

Military Commander of the future Prince Zeon Bell and his team was listening to their conversation and followed Zeferno along the shadows. Prince Raiden asks, "So, are we going to fight battle Zeferno again? I would love to do that." Commander Zeon quietly said, "No. We are not going to use violence unless if we have to. Besides, Zeferno said he was going to sleep, which is the perfect time to erase his memories. He will wake up with permanent amnesia." Raiden argued in disappointment, "But then this wouldn't be fun." Pancho quietly said, "Just shut up Raiden. You are too being loud." King Rain quietly said, "Raiden-onīsan, as a kind ruler, please don't cause a fight." Raiden sighed and said quietly, "Alright, already." King Rain did have his new spell-negating wand on him, but he wasn't holding it during the time Zeferno released a spell. Tioga wondered, "What about those other huge demons?" Commander Zeon said, "They're not our targets. Besides, they haven't threatened anyone, at least as far as I'm aware."

A few minutes later after Zeferno went home, which was inside a large cave in the mountains, he went to sleep. A half hour later after Zeferno went back into a deep sleep in the middle of the morning, Commander Zeon walked up to Zeferno and erased on all of his memories regarding to chaos and destruction while Zeferno was sound asleep, snoring loudly. After erasing his memories while Zeferno is still snoring loudly, Commander Zeon said, "That should do it. He'll never rampage in this world again. Alright, we're going to track down Zedusa next." Raiden wondered, "But what about Zeil and the others? You said that they were here a minute ago." His uncle replied quietly, "I bet they were planning on recruiting Zeferno next. Guess we got here before they did." Raiden asked, "Are we going after them next?" Commander Zeon quietly said, "That's crazy. We'll get them once we get backup." Captain Kyanchome quietly asked, "Are you sure Zeil and Zophise are with Zega and Zecross?" Commander Zeon quietly said, "No doubt. They were together on my radar." While eavesdropping on Zeferno, Commander Zeon Bell did scan the DNA samples of Zecross, Zeil, and Zophise in Dr. Kid's and Coral Q's DNA analyzer, and they were all located very close to each other in a far distance. They were appearing closer to Zeferno, but then retreated. Zeferno would be the revolution army's next recruit, which may have been after Zeferno took a nap on this day. Guess Zega and Zecross were also eavesdropping on Zeferno with their two sets of ears. The group then left Zeferno's cave and began their search for Zedusa, especially since that would be the revolution army's next choice to recruit.

After exiting out of Zeferno's cave, Raiden asked, "Hey uncle, do you know where Zedusa is at? You don't have anything to track her." As the group was walking, Commander Zeon said, "Since she's considered to be Queen of the Reptiles, I know exactly where to find her. The Reptilian Cavern."

Scene: The Reptilian Caverns of Demon World and the Underground Reptilian Palace (evening)


Among somewhere in the wasteland contained a stairway to an underground cave. There were snake-shaped torches lit to the sides of the underground stairway and the group entered it. The environment was getting colder and eerie. Tioga wondered, "What is this place? Feels so spooky, and somewhat cold, even with these torches." Commander Zeon grabbed a fire torch from the rocky walls and said, "Everyone, be careful and stay behind me. Reptilian demons can be very hostile and nasty. For some reason, some of our laws don't cover these caverns, which is why some criminal organizations are usually formed here. We'll have to fight our way through some of these guys if we need to be." Raiden smiled and said quietly, "Alright, some action."

Deep down into the caverns lies an underground palace. This palace is owned by the Queen of the Reptiles, Zedusa, who rules beneath the surface. There are many types of reptilian demons that lie underground, including thousands of lizard demons, snake demons, gator demons, and more, and they can be pretty nasty to non-reptilian demons (or towards each other sometime). Meanwhile, inside her underground palace, Zedusa (age 393) was sitting on a throne, appearing bored with a wine glass of some kind of green liquid as beverage in hand. As one of her snake hair was drinking the green beverage in Zedusa's hand, she sighed and said to herself, "Ugh... I hate how this world is rotting. It won't be long until the New King of Demon World's laws reach here." She then slammed her wine glass and shattered it with liquid spilling on the ground, then yelled at a lizard servant in a scary and deep feminine voice, "Zu'rig, clean this up, now!" The servant responded with a frightened look, "Y-yes, Your Highness!," and cleaned it up. After cleaning up the mess Zedusa made, Zedusa then ordered her servant, "Now, leave me alone!" The servant Zu'rig responded in fear, "Y-yes, Your Highness!," and fled. Zedusa then looked away and said to herself in boredom, "I hate everyone in this rotten world. If only if I could be a real ruler, I would make everyone suffer in fear, just like how I felt all of those centuries ago." Zedusa was thinking about her horrible experience back at demon school over 300 years ago.

[Flashback] Scene: Zedusa's memories at Demon World School over 300 years ago


Back in school, Zedusa was a normal demon child but students would bully Zedusa because her face appeared ugly to them. A lot of students (even most non-bully ones) would insult Zedusa, pushing her around and Zedusa would be afraid of them, crying in despair and sadness. Zedusa had no friends and was unable to make friends; no one would stand up for her. One day, after Zedusa could no longer stand them (or anyone), she decided to stand up for herself and show those bullies true fear though the ugliness of her face. She would develop the ability to turn anyone into stone by staring when she glares, which is a secret magical technique learned by her species, the gorgon. Upon acquiring this ability and using it, many students, including those that use to bully her (who would be turned to stone) would become afraid of her and avoid her even more. "No matter what I do, everyone hates the way I look. They bullied me, bullied me even more, and no one stood up to me. Then they feared me, all of them." She would say. "Fine. If everyone wants to fear me, I will give them fear! True fear!" Zedusa's life was always filled with sad, lonely darkness but at this point, Zedusa decided to start her dark journey into the evil path darkness and reach superiority. While most demons avoiding being friends with Zedusa, Zedusa eventually made friends with some reptilian demons (who were once hated by many other demons due to their common hostility) and because Zedusa displayed a tremendous amount of power and fear among everyone, the reptilian demons made her their queen of their race.

Scene: The Reptilian Caverns of Demon World and the Underground Reptilian Palace (evening)


[Insert random battle music]
Commander Zeon and the others fought some hostile reptilian demons but Commander Zeon and the others just knocked them out while dodging the reptilian warriors' weapons. They used their spells when they had to, while fighting through a group of reptilian soldiers among Zedusa's army. King Rain was also use his anti-spell wand at times to prevent the reptile demons from casting spells. An injured snake-like soldier entered the underground palace and yelled out, "Zedusa-sama, we got intruders." Zedusa was surprised and confused, "What?" The snake warrior was choked by an arm and was pulled away from the palace's large entry door with Raiden Bell and the others busting inside the palace taking out the rest of the guards. Raiden said, "These guards are so weak. Now it's your turn, Queen of the Fakes!" Commander Zeon said, "Oh, Raiden, you didn't..." Zedusa and her snake hair got very angry and sinister-looking and she yelled, "Queen of the Fakes?! Why you? And how dare you attack my minions! Turn to stone!" Through her intense rage, Zedusa activates her Petrification Glare ability, turning her purple eyes into evil yellow eyes and stares at the group. King Rain's anti-spell wand won't be able to block this. At the same time, Ninja Captain Kyanchome said, "Don't look at her eyes. Tioga-chan!" Tioga said, "Got it! Rifureshirudo!" Tioga summoned a large, floating mirror shield. Upon accidentally looking at herself in Tioga's mirror while activating her Petrification Glare, she cried in fear and despair, "What? A mirror?! No. I hate mirrors! Noooo!!!!" Zedusa accidentally turned herself into stone. Pancho cheered on, "Way to go sis!," and Captain Kyanchome said, "That's my girl." Head Nurse Tio corrected her husband, "Our girl." Some of her lizards guards cried out, "Ehh?! Zedusa-sama!" One of those guards said, "Why you?! How dare you do that to our queen!" The last few of the soldiers in the palace were about to attack with weapons in hand and Raiden said, "How about you go to sleep!," and gave them a hard fist of the face, knocking them out. Raiden then shook his fists in pain and said, "Man, they have such hard scales. Oof!"

Commander Zeon said while walking up to the petrified Queen Zedusa, "It's a good thing we brought your daughter against Zedusa. Alright..." Commander Zeon then proceeded to erase Zedusa's memories. King Rain said, "You were great, Tioga-chan." Tioga replied, "Thank you!" Commander Zeon said, "Yosh. Now that's taken care of, let's get out of here." Nurse Tio said, "But, are we going to let her stay like that?" Commander Zeon said, "I'm sure one of her servants will do something about it. Who knows how many times she could have turned herself to stone. Let's go. We'll bring some soldiers before tackling the other four. However, finding Dr. Zulu will be a real chore." The group headed out of the spooky caves and walked back to the Capital City of Demon World and returned to the palace. On their way back, as Commander Zeon scanned for Zecross, Zeil, and Zophise, they were near the Reptilian caverns, but retreated. It appears Zega and Zecross were planning on recruiting Reptilian Queen Zedusa as their fifth Death General instead of Zeferno but failed again.

Scene: Capital City of Demon World (evening)


[Insert random castle music]
Commander Zeon and Prince Raiden's group returned back to the palace. Young Prince Zeon's group has been back at the palace for many hours now. Upon returning, Kiyomaro said, "You're back." Commander Zeon said, "Sorry it took a while." King Gash ran up to Commander Zeon and asked his adult brother, "Did you get 'em?" Commander Zeon said, "I obliviated Zeferno's and Zedusa's memories." King Gash wondered, "Huh, obliver-what?" Kiyomaro said, "He said he got rid of their memories." Commander Zeon said, "Correct. And theoretically, they should be neutral towards us. And how did your progress go? Did you find Zarpi?" Young Prince Zeon said, "I got rid of Zarpi's memories too." Commander Zeon said, "Good. Unfortunately, it appears that the revolution army's leaders already recruited Zeil and Zophise. According to my radar, they were after Zeferno and Zedusa, but they disappeared after we took them out. However, if we were to go after those four, we'll need to build up an army. Assemble your men for battle." The others were surprised and worried and young Zeon agreed, "I'm on it." Commander Zeon changed his mind and said, "Actually, there are many rebellious groups other than the one we fought. Send your soldiers including the Royal Knights to scout Demon World for possible rebels." Young Zeon replied, "Yeah, yeah," and Commander Zeon said, "And hopefully they can locate your time's Dr. Zulu." Commander Zeon was worried and wondered, I wonder how my Royal Knights are doing back in our time. In this time, Zeon Bell hasn't set up his new military system and is still using Demon World's old military system before the three major divisions (Knight, Ninja, and Medic) were formed, but all soldiers in this old military system are considered "knights" and they do have Royal Knights, a group of elite and loyal knights, mainly served to protect the King.

King Gash asked and begged, "Excuse me, but can we do this without violence?" Commander Zeon said, "To the group we fought, it may most likely impossible. Zega and Zecross are a huge threat and I doubt we could convince them. They are the type to have fun by creating destruction. If we survive, we'll take a break and search for your time era's Dr. Zulu tomorrow unless if your soldiers find them, although it will be a real pain since I don't have a DNA sample of him. Also, for your safety, I don't want you younglings to get involved, so I suggest you all stay within the city." The group thought about it and Kiyomaro argued, "We'll come with you." His friends agreed. Commander Zeon yelled, "Are you guys crazy?" Kiyomaro said, "Sure, we may acting dumb, but we have seen their skills and abilities. We've all survived through many hardships and we'll get out of this one alive too." King Gash agreed with Kiyomaro and said, "As much... as much I wish not to fight, I just want all battles to end. As King of this world, I want to help the world, and protect it, even if it means to fight to stop a bad war." Everyone else agreed with the young Demon King and Commander Zeon sighed, "Ehh!" Prince Raiden said, "Lighten up Uncle. You seen how strong we are. We'll take these guys down again. Although, they may not be as strong as they are in our time, I imagine. Who knows, maybe they'll be much weaker than before, but that wouldn't be fun at all." Commander Zeon said, "Alright. Once younger me send his soldiers to scout possible rebels, we'll stop Zega, Zecross, Zeil, and Zophise. We'll be sure to protect you youngsters and create the peaceful world Gash-sama wanted. It's the least we can do for helping us with our problem." Everyone agreed and were prepared to battle against the origin of the Demon Revolution Army.
