During their last encounter Riley and Ren O'Malley clashed both blades and ideals. Riley's ideal to protect those he loved and Ren's ideal that everyone must die for purification. In the end Riley got the best of Ren thanks to his goddess training from his mother. Ren disappeared after that. The only ones who knew where he went were his two main followers, Sasuke and Nore. Ren had went into hell in order to search for something. In order to achieve his goal he needed to not only master Psy, but also find a new power. He will have to harness a new power if he wanted to surpass his enemies.
While Ren journeyed through hell Sasuke and Nore took over for him. They were keeping tabs on Riley and his friends. They also made sure eveything in his empire was still running smoothly when he returned. They had recruited new people from different worlds and expanded their hideout. No one in the world of New Yuio suspected Ren or anyone associated with him to make a move for some time. They would soon find out they are dead wrong.
Somewhere in the world there was a forest that stretched out for miles beyond what the eye could see. The forest itself was a maze that only followers of Ren knew how to navigate. In the dead center of the forest stood an old stone castle. This was the main base of Ren's hideout. Deep within the castle underground were a series of secret tunnels. These had many uses but they're main purpose were transportation.
It was here most of his followers were. Nore and Sasuke stood in front of them waiting. A black and red portal appeared before them. Out from the flames of the portal their leader Ren came out. As the portal closed everyone bowed to him.
" Lord Ren," Sasuke said. " We've been waiting for you. We have done as you told us. Everything is set for your Return."
" Did you find what you were looking for?" Nore asked.
Ren gave them an evil smile. As his body glowed with a light purple aura. His eyes glowed the same color. " No, but I figured out what I need to do," he told them. " I did have hone my psy abilities and came up with a way to achieve my goal. Meet me in the castle. I have a lot to explain to you. Nore find me Zukini. Sasuke being me a map of the kingdom of Quizen. The rest of you prepare to invade. It's about time I visited an old friend of mine."
The others disbanded into the other tunnels and the castle. Nore searched the castle for Zukini. " Zukini! Where are you? Lord Ren has returned and requests your presence."

How long had she been hanging around in this castle now? Zukini pondered the question as she lay on a plush, purple-coloured sofa that she'd 'borrowed' from another world recently, eyes closed and with her hands behind her head. (She hadn't had any respect for that king guy from the planet she'd visited, but damn, did he have great taste in sofas!) Her feet swayed slowly back and forth as she thought about the past little while of her life, which had been spent living in this very castle when she wasn't out and about doing her thing; this castle being the domain of her newfound master ('master' in this context meaning 'guy whose ideas she was weirdly fascinated in who she decided to follow,') Ren O'Malley. In one of Zukini's famous impulsive, unusual life choices, she'd pledged her allegiance to Ren O'Malley to satisfy her curiosity and have as much fun as she could along the way.
Because after all, if this guy wants to put an end to the whole universe... who's saying I shouldn't enjoy myself until he does?
A slight smile had caught Zukini's lips at the thought, but something caught her attention and got her more serious again (or, well, as serious as Zukini ever was.) According to her senses, there was a person coming her way; she could feel the aura since it was close enough by. Oh, company... eh, I guess my nap can wait then, she thought, sitting up and looking towards the door.
"Zukini! Where are you? Lord Ren has returned and requests your presence."
...Well, that was unexpected. Zukini blinked a few times in pleasant surprise; she hadn't expected the boss to return - and truth be known, she had been considering finding other things to take up her time since she had no boss to serve without him around - so this was quite welcome news. Now this is going to be interesting, Zukini thought as she stood and headed quickly for the door to the room, picking up her staff on the way out.
Normally she was never one to rush herself, but even Zukini wasn't taking it slow here; she was quite excited about this development, after all. She used her aura sensing and followed the energy to the source of the voice, which she recognised as one of the boss's top followers, Nore Nuier. "Well, hello there!" Zukini called to Nore as she approached, her usual carefree smile across her face as she gave a saluting motion with her free hand. She stopped in front of the dragon-winged girl, placing the business end of her staff against the ground and leaning against it slightly. "Now normally this is the part where I make small talk, like 'how are you? What'cha doing?' and all that... but let's face it, sweetie, with all this going on, that isn't what either of us want to do," she chuckled a bit, before turning a bit more serious. "So let's get straight down to business, shall we? Take me to the big guy," she said, standing up straighter and holding her staff at her side. (Yes, Zukini was aware that in either of her forms, Ren was actually smaller than her, but she was using that term as a sign of respect.)

Even Nore had to admit it was surprising that Ren came back so soon. Even though she worried about him each day he was gone everyone suspected him not to come back for a while. But she was happy he was back. Even if he didn't feel the same way she and Sasuke loved him deeply. What if Ren found out that what he needed to achieve his goal was a lover like Riley had? What if he realized he needed to have a kid? What if he decided to ask her to marry him? " Oh Ren of course I do...." she said to herself as she dreamed of the wedding.
Nore's train of thought was shattered when Zukini finally came. Why did this always happen to her? She was having such a nice day dream! When Zukini called Nore looked over to her. " Oh there you are." Zukini was newer to the cause then mosf of the other followers, and while not as high as Nore and Sasuke she was ranked pretty high. Nore was still getting used to her personality. "....Yes.. we should skip the small talk. Lord Ren already has a new plan and he plans to set it in motion. Follow me."
Nore would lead Zukini down the different halls to Ren's main "office". If you could call it that. They went past the other followers that were gearing up for the invasion Ren spoke briefly about. To be honest outside of the place no one besides Ren himself knew what the goal of this invasion was. Moat assumed it was to announce his return or take over the kingdom. Either way everyone was just glad that Ren was back in action.
Nore finally stopped in front of a large door made out of metal. " He should be in here," She told her. Opening the door Zukini would be able to see why it couldn't really be called an office. There were maps and posters all oved the walls and a gaint boxes of bags of marshmallows and juice boxes. What was more interesting was that most of the furniture was made out of purple energy. No doubt a result of Ren's psy training.
Ren was sitting on a beanbag looking over a map Sasuke brought him. Sasuke stood by his side. " Yes this is it," Ren told Sasuke. " The first phase starts here. Then I can set up phase two and before long it will all come together." Ren placed his finger on the castle. " Welcome Nore, Zukini." Ren didn't look up from the map until he finished. He had since their energy. " Thanks Nore. Now I can explain my plan in detail."
Nore bowed to him. " Now Zukini it is my understanding you joined us shortly before I disappeared?" He asked. " Nevertheless I'm pleased to see we're still gaining new members. Less people I have to kill and more people that will join me in the new universe I'll create. You can sit if you want." Ren's eyes glowed purple as a chair made put of purple energy materialized behind her. " Amazing isn't it? I am still limited in what I can do with Psy but it's still impressive. Just imagine what I could do once I fully master it." An evil smile came across his face as he pictured himself achieving his goal with it.
Ren's smile then turned into an innocent one. " But that's not why we're here today is it?" He laughed. " No you see we're going to invade the kingdom of Quizen. You see I know the princess who lives there with her family. She had a crush on me ever since we were all little kids. You see she fell in love with me back in our old home world. But now we're on this new world. I'm sure she still has feelings for me deep down."
Nore tried her best to not burst out crying. Why wasn't she told any of this before?! All this time there was some other girl out there, a princess no less, that had feelings for her Ren? It was as if Nore's worst nightmares were coming true. Why was Ren now interested in her? Did Ren want to start being with her? Nore wouldn't be able to take it if that was the case.
" But that's not what I'm interested in," Ren said. Nore whiped her forehead, she didn't have to kill a manstealer yet. " No what I want is her pure heart. You see my first choice was going to be princess Iris, but she's married to be brother and he's been hanging out in her kingdom a lot. I can't risk him finsing out I'm back so soon. The kingdom of Quien is very far way from the others. As such news travels veey slowly. Nkw Zukini you play anvery big role in all this. You also play a major role in pahse two, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now I need you to join the three of us on leading this invasion. The three of us can't be seen right away so it's important you are the face of the invasion until we reach the castle. Think you're up for it?"

Zukini's eyes lit up as Nore said that Ren already had a new plan to set in motion; new plans meant actually having stuff to do, and that would be a welcome change of pace. Not that she hadn't enjoyed going from world to world taking things that took her fancy and creeping guys out by flirting with them then changing to male form mid-kiss, but sometimes an actual purpose in life was nice too.
She followed Nore down the halls of the castle, absently humming some tune she'd heard on her travels as they went, until they arrived at a huge metal door. Ooh, now that's an impressive door, Zukini thought, setting the hand that wasn't holding her staff on her hip and looking the door up and down. I bet there's an equally impressive room behind that door! Like, all candelabras and moody colours and five thousand munny sculptures.
When the door was opened, though, Zukini didn't see the expensively decorated, classy office that she'd been expecting; instead, she saw a place that kind of reminded her of a kid's bedroom what with all the posters and stuff on the walls, and boxes of delicious things that made her mouth water. Come on, Zukini, don't drool in front of the boss... she silently told herself, wiping her mouth as subtly as she could and shaking her head slightly to bring herself back to the situation at hand. Her eyes passed over Ren - who was sitting on a beanbag, of all things, which almost made her chuckle a bit - and the man at his side; she knew he was one of Ren's top men, up there with Nore, but she couldn't quite remember his name. It was Sa-something, anyway; Sandy or Sally or Sassy? He looks like he could be sassy if you got on the wrong side of him, Zukini thought, almost about to start snickering but stopped as Ren began speaking.
"Welcome Nore, Zukini."
Zukini noted how he didn't even have to look at them to know who they were, and her eyebrow raised, impressed. He must be able to sense auras too, or something similar, she absently noted as she swept her free arm in front of herself and bowed grandly; even if displays of respect weren't normally something she did, she was this guy's 'employee' of sorts so she figured it made sense. "Lord Ren. So good to see you in fine fettle and, y'know, alive, boss man," she said in her usual easy-spoken manner, giving a wink before straightening up as Ren continued on. Her interest was piqued as Ren mentioned the new universe he intended to create; Zukini had her fair share of problems with a lot of the people she'd known here - in fact, she would probably go as far as to say that her experiences had made her just a little bit misanthropic - and so she found herself rather interested in what this new universe would be like...
Her thought process came to a halt as Ren summoned a glowing purple chair, similar to some of the other furniture in the room, behind her. "Oh... Thank you very much, you're most kind," she said to Ren after getting past her slight surprise, before flopping down on the chair. A slight feeling of panic momentarily ran through her as she wondered if the chair was actually solid since it was made of energy, but thankfully it was, so she gave a relieved sigh.
"Amazing isn't it? I am still limited in what I can do with Psy but it's still impressive. Just imagine what I could do once I fully master it."
"Psy, eh? I've never heard of that before, I'll admit, but it sure is amazing," Zukini agreed with her boss, taking her eyes off of the energy chair to look at him. She caught sight of his malicious-looking smile and couldn't help but smile herself; she was sure that he'd be able to achieve his goal with powers like that, and she knew that it would be a glorious thing when he did.
Ren then went on to explain the plan in greater detail, and Zukini sat up from her graceless, slumped position to something more suitable for a meeting with the boss. Seemingly they were to invade a kingdom called Quizen; Ren knew the kingdom's princess, who had loved him back on their home world. "Aww, that's so sweet!" Zukini said before she could even stop herself, clasping her hands together and crossing one leg over the other. "Princess and Master, sitting in a tree... oh, I'm sorry," she stopped her little song before it went any further, turning her head and placing a hand over her mouth to hide her smile. "No disrespect intended, sire!"
She turned back to listen to the rest of the plan; the target was the princess of Quizen's pure heart... and apparently, Zukini had a big role to play in all this - and apparently also in 'phase two,' though she didn't know what that was - which definitely caught her attention. "Ooh," she murmured quietly as she sat forward, eyes slightly widened in excitement at the idea of finally having something important to do. Seemingly she was to be 'the face of the invasion' on the way to the castle.
"Oh-ho, I'm up for it alright," Zukini grinned in response to Ren's question, sitting back in her chair and flipping the hair from her eyes. "I haven't had a real task in life for what feels like forever, so I'm way stoked for this! I assure you that I'll give it my all, my lord," she added in her most faux-sweet tone, putting her free hand to her heart and bowing slightly, finding it strangely fun to be a servant for a change. Chuckling a bit, she sat back and looked at Ren before something came back to her, and she frowned a bit. She was wondering about this mysterious 'phase two' that she was to be a part of... but she shrugged it off after a bit of thinking, deciding to go with Ren's 'crossing the bridge when we get there' mentality.

Ren wasn't surprised Zukini hadn't heard of Psy before. " Well Psy is only a family thing." Ren told her. " Admittedly both my father and grandfather can do much more with it than I currently can. But one day I will get on their level." That was just one of Ren's many goals. Whenever he did get on their level he would be even more of a threat than he is now. But what he was trying to do now was much worse.
While Zukini was singing Nore gave her a death stare from behind. The thought of Ren kissing this princess was killing her. She couldn't allow herself to lose to whoever this person was. Thankfully Ren was only intrested in her pure heart. She could still somehow whoo him during all this and make him her man.
Ren couldn't help but laugh at Zukini's song. " K I S S I N G!" He sang with her. Nore's entire world seemed to shatter. How could he sing along?! Did he have a change of heart and wanted to give this girl a chance? No that couldn't be true! Her Ren wouldn't leave her for some manstealer. Sasuke quietly snickered at Nore. Nore gave him a death stare while shaking her fist at him. Sasuke stuck his tongue out at her.
Zukini didn't know it yet, but Ren really meant what he said. His entire phase two relied on her. He would need her for a very special task only someone unknown to most people in this world could do. While tthere was a risk of having Zikini become known during the invasion, Ren didn't worry about it since there would be no survivors as long as everything went according to plan.
" Well I'm glad to hear that," Ren told her. " And sorry for the long wait, but you don't really feel a sense of time when you are in hell. What feels like just a few days can turn out to be a few weeks if not months. I would have been here sooner if I could help it. But on the bright side with all that time I spent there I have already planned out this entire thing. Soon I will have the power I need to make the new universe a reality."
Ren got up from his beanbag. " Well in that case we should get moving right away. We'll be using the tunnels to get there and back." He told her. " While they are veey tricky to navigate with us you won't have to worry. Qith evryone already preparing we should be able to move out in half an hour. It will take us a while to get there, but that just means I can explain everything along the way. I'll meet you down in the tunnels, Nore can show you the way. Sasuke make sure everyone is ready on time. If we want to do this without the other kingdoms finding out we'll have to be swift. I'll meet you all down in the tunnels. I have to prepare myself."
With that Ren took his leave and wondered deeper into the vast castle. Sasuke came over to the two girls and handed Zukini the map. " You'll need this to understand the way we're going to do this. While it is far away from the other kingdoms if an explosion is too loud or smoke gets to high people will start to come to see what's going on."

Zukini listened with interest while Ren explained that, his father and grandfather were even more talented with it than he was. She figured that stood to reason; after all, the father and grandfather would have no doubt had more time to gain experience... However, what really caught her interest was the fact that this Psy was seemingly an ability exclusive to Ren's family. That statement made Zukini suddenly very aware of the fact that she knew practically nothing about the person in front of her; he clearly wasn't a human, or at least a regular one, so that made her wonder exactly what he was. Eh, what's it matter? Zukini eventually ended her thought process, smirking somewhat at earlier events. His goals are what I'm interested in, not his family tree. Besides, whatever the guy is, I like his style. Most other universe-remaking super-beings would've ran me through and spat on my grave for singing a song like that, rather than joining in! She had to admit, considering that she was now in the company of the weird and wonderful bunch that were Ren's followers, not to mention Ren himself, life had most certainly gotten more interesting since she'd joined up here. The people were definitely never dull.
Zukini listened to Ren apologise for the wait, stating that there wasn't much of a sense of time in Hell. ...The guy has been to Hell, she thought, eyes momentarily widened in surprise, sure that that revelation would have probably been terrifying if she actually took matters as seriously as she should. For crying out loud... Well, if there was any part of me that still thought he was a regular kid - which, by this point, there really wasn't - that part's definitely kicked the bucket now, she thought, also rising from her energy chair after Ren stood up from his beanbag. "Right then. See you later, o' mighty Hell-traversing purifier of this dumb ass universe I've yet to find a fondness for!" she gave a salute to Ren with her free hand before he left, excited about the prospect of being able to head out in only half an hour.
Once the boss was gone, that left her with Nore and the black-haired fellow who, for some reason that Zukini wasn't aware of, had been snickering and sticking his tongue out at the dragon girl earlier on. If she remembered right, Ren had called him Sasuke. Aww, that is such a shame. I was really hoping his name was Sassy! That would've been hilarious, Zukini thought, looking at him as he approached and trying not to be too obvious about the fact that she was about to burst out laughing.
"You'll need this to understand the way we're going to do this. While it is far away from the other kingdoms if an explosion is too loud or smoke gets to high people will start to come to see what's going on."
"Ah, I see," Zukini quelled her laughter and nodded absently as she took the map and began to look it over. She was momentarily baffled by it before she realized it was upside-down. Quickly, she turned the thing around and cleared her throat, trying to look casual as though that hadn't happened, then continued looking it over. "This'll be very helpful, no doubt. Much obliged, Sassy-- u-uh," she stopped and grimaced slightly at her Freudian slip, "I mean, Sasuke. I am sorry, it's been a very long day," she laughed a bit, hoping the excuse was good enough and that the fellow hadn't been too offended. "Not that it's an insult, though, sweetie; a little sassiness can be a wonderful asset in this world," she added, knowing a statement like that would possibly make her seem strange but not entirely caring - not out of a lack of respect, she just thought life was too short to care for what others thought of her - before giving the map another once-over. "Righty then! I suppose we'd better be off if we're to keep the boss's plan on schedule. Lead the way, my winged accomplice," Zukini said, rolling up the map and turning to Nore with her usual kind of half-smirking smile.

" S-Sassy?!?" Sasuke exclaimed. He wasn't prepared for Zukini calling him that. While it seemed she said it because she wasn't sure about his name, it still wasn't very close to Sasuke. Now that he thought about it, they rarely spoke to each other before if at all directly. Between keeping tabs on Riley and making sure everything was redy for this turn of events he did have a lot going on.
Nore returned Sasuke's snicker from before. " Well you are pretty sassy Sasuke," Nore laughed.
Sasuke glared at her. " Yeah well even Zukini says a little sass can be good so there!" He stuck his tounge out at her. He then looked at Zukini. " Well I'm glad you're as excited as we are for this. Admittedly I'm glad our first mission is invading a kingdom. I can't get rusty with my sword skills." He held the handle of his sword that was tied to his waist. Sasuke then left to make sure everything else was going along.
Nore nodded to Zukini. " The fastest way to the tunnels is this way." She told her. Nore led her out of the room and back into the hallways. They passed a few doors before finding a winding staircase that went down underground. The walls were lined with torches to keep it lit. It didn't take long for them to reach the bottom.
There they could see whay seemed like an endless series of tunnels that went in countless different directions. " Here we are," Nore told her. " We can go pretty much anywhere in the world from here. The entrance and exits to these tunnels are so well hidden no one else is able to find them. We don't have to worry about anyone finding the hideout either. Just one of the perks of being in the center of a forbidden forest. The entire forest itself is a maze and the trees are too dense to be able to see anything from above the forest. Ren keeps tress around and on top of the castle so it just looks like part of the forest from the outside."
After a while Sasuke along with most of the other followers came. Sasuke joined Nore and Zukini. This time Sasuke was wearing his trademark black lipstick and blue eyeshadow. " Everything is set," He told them. " Now we just need to wait for Ren."
It wasn't long before Ren descended down the stairs. He stood in front of everyone. " Okay everyone this is where the fun begins!" He told them. " To celebrate my return we'll b invading the kingdom of Quizen! Now while I can't have everyone in the world find out I'm back so soon I will be in this invasion. For this special mission Zukini will be leading the charge. Now try to keep the smoke low and the explosions to a minimum. We can't habe other kingdoms sending people to ruin the fun now can we? Follow me and I'll explain the attack plan." He walked down one of the tunnels as everyone followed him.
" Now I can assure you all there will be plenty of people there for us to kill. However the princess must not be harmed. Her pure heart is vital to the rest of my plan. Anyone else is fair game. How about we make it interesting? Peasents are five points, middle class ten, the rich are fifty, knights and the like are one hundred. The king and queen are a thousand. Whoever scores the most points when it's all over wins and gets to decide the faith of the kingdom and any survivors. Fair warning though, I will be meeting you all in the castle, I must go on ahead to find the princess before things get out of hand and the family tries to escape. As such I would have first shot at most of the knights and probably the king and queen."
" Now to discuss the attack plan. Zukini would you be a dear and lend me the map?"

"No offence meant, guy..." Zukini held up her free hand and laughed slightly nervously as Sasuke reacted with shock to what she had accidentally called him. She really meant him no harm - after all, she had no reason to - but her brain kind of associated the word with him now and it just slipped out... Eh, at least it looks like I wasn't too far off, Zukini thought to herself after Nore confirmed her earlier suspicion about Sasuke being sassy, just managing to suppress a smile. When Sasuke left after speaking of how glad he was that they were going to invade a kingdom, Zukini watched him go and nodded slowly to herself. The sassy one's got the right idea! Can't go letting your skills get rusty when there's a job needs doing. Even Zukini had been practicing with her skills while the master had been out of commission, when she could pull herself away from her merriment long enough to actually focus.
After that, she followed Nore past the doors, down the stairs and finally down to the tunnels, which lead to practically anywhere in the world, according to the dragon girl. "Wow... you guys certainly know how to do this whole 'covert operation' thing right, huh?" Zukini said, looking around the place, impressed by all the thought that must have gone into keeping this castle and the tunnels so well hidden.
Before too long, Sasuke approached them again with more of Ren's followers in tow and informed them that everything was set, and now all they had to do was wait for the boss to arrive. Zukini, being Zukini, found her attention slightly more on other things than what had been said, though; she took a step toward Sasuke, staring at him. "Ooh," she began, "not to be rude or anything, and I realize this's off-topic, but just who exactly does your makeup? Whoever it is, tell 'em I want some pointers," she said, looking at his lipstick and eyeshadow. She didn't know of many guys who could pull off makeup like that - she reckoned her own male form definitely couldn't - but this guy somehow managed it, which was quite impressive. Before Zukini could get too sidetracked by other things, though, the newly-revived master made his reappearance and began to speak, automatically drawing her attention.
"Okay everyone this is where the fun begins!"
Zukini stopped herself from cheering out loud, and took a few steps closer so she could hear what the redhead had to say. When he said that Zukini would be leading the charge, she felt a swell of pride in her heart and took a bow - partly for dramatic flair, partly to let any followers who didn't recognise her by name know who was being spoken about - then straightened up again. No explosions, no smoke, no alerting the other kingdoms and risking the cavalry running in to save 'em, she thought as she and the others followed Ren down the tunnel. Eh... Subtlety's not usually something I go for, but I'm sure I can make an exception this time around. As Ren continued, she added 'and no harming the princess' to that list; she didn't know what this princess looked like, but she was sure she'd find out in time. She'll probably be the one who looks the most princessy, she shrugged, putting an end to that thought process.
For a brief moment, that little part of Zukini that thirsted for the chance to destroy and to flaunt her power got way excited at the little game that was spoken of, and her eyes widened just a little as a smile crept up on her face. This invasion was starting to sound even more fun than it had to begin with! She was looking forward to getting a chance to take out as many of the little people as she could... I wonder what I'd do if I won, and got to decide the survivors' faith, she pondered for a moment, twisting her lips in thought. If there was any part of her that was still loyal to her past, she could have taught the people about the lore of the sacred dragons from her homeworld... but there wasn't, so she dismissed that idea quickly enough. I could make them all loyal practitioners of Zukiniism, she thought jokingly. Now that'd be awesome! Everyone would bow down to me, their Lady-Lord Zukini, and they would eternally respect me! Ha, my father would have a fit if he could see a whole kingdom - or whatever's left of it - worshipping the daughter he ran through without even having the decency to ask... She wasn't really serious about that idea, though; after all, all that 'being worshipped' stuff would probably be a lot of responsibility, and Zukini didn't care for too much of that. She liked having the freedom to do her own thing, and having a bunch of people revering her all the time would probably get in the way of that. That and she definitely didn't have the caring, benevolent personality that a god or goddess was probably meant to have, she realized with a dry chuckle. In fact, I'm pretty sure most folks would agree that I can be positively malevolent... Yeah, in the unlikely event of me winning this game, I'll definitely need to find something else for the poor bozos to bow to.
"Now to discuss the attack plan. Zukini would you be a dear and lend me the map?"
Zukini blinked herself out of her thoughts - which were even weird by her standards, and that was saying something - and looked to her boss, returning the smile to her face. "But of course, m'lord. Besides, I'm always a dear!" she joked, sticking her tongue out and winking before walking over to Ren and holding out the map as requested, eager to hear the attack plan and get things underway but willing herself to be patient.

Sasuke's face turned a little red. " Oh I did it myself." He told her. " If you want I could show you how I do it later." Not too many people asked him about his make up. Most of the time he just got strange looks from people. He took great pride in his make up. He refused to go anywhere without it. It was his most defining feature.
Ren smiled as Zukini handed him the map. " Thanks." He looked at the map for a moment. Then using his Psy he created a bigger version of it for everyone to see out of purple energy. " Now that you can all see it you'll know exactly what I'm talking about." The map showed the layout of the entire kingdom. From the front gates in the stone wall to the royal castle all the way in the back. " This tunnel will take us to the front of the castle walls. There might be a couple guards there but they should be easy to take out with my psy."
The marketplace on the map then started to glow on the map. " The first thing to come into view from the gates is the market. I recommend starting there for racking up some quick points with all the peasants that go there. From the market there are plenty of houses nearby to ransack."
Different places on the map started glowing. From the smaller houses to the larger ones. The tavern and the stables and the farms. " These are the most populated places in the kingdom. Don't worry about people getting away I'll have a barrier around the kingdom to make sure there is no escape. Rumor has it the royal family has a secret exit somewhere in the castle for them to use in case an invasion happens."
Ren couldn't help but laugh. " Even without the barrier I figured out exactly where it is and where it leads." Part of the castle started glowing. " There is a small part of the castle that leads underground into their dungeon. Close to it is a wide river that runs along most of the countryside. There is a small opening deep in the castle that leads to a secret passageway. That takes them below the river and to the other side. No doubt close to a pathway that leads to an ally kingdom. I'll also have a barrier in the tunnel preventing the family and anyone else in the castle from using it."
The entire castle started glowing. " Unfortunately I won't be joining you all in the fun this time. After I take out the guards at the gate I'll be making my way quickly to the castle. I have to locate the princess and will also be taking care of the knights. Whenever my part in all this is over Nore will give the signal. That's when you all are to meet me in the castle. Until then you can do whatever you wish with the people of the kingdom."
They went down the tunnel until it came to a point where it led up. " We're here everyone." He went up a removed whatever it was that was blocking the entrance. Light started shining down the tunnel. As the went up they were in a field with the stone wall of the kingdom within sight. " There it is. The kingdom of Quizen. Where it all begins." He looked at everyone giving them a reassuring smile. " Let's go."
Ren led them across the field and to the path that led to the gates. Just as Ren said there were two guards. " Now I can finally try something from a cartoon I used to love watching as a kid." Ren's eyes started glowing purple. Above the two guards two anvils made out of solid energy appeared. They landed on their heads knocking them out. Ren laughed. " You can't beat the classics. I'll see you all real soon. Zukini and Sasuke will be leading you all. Come on Nore we have a princess to find." Both Ren and Nore disappeared into the kingdom.

/OOC: I am so so sorry about the wait on this one; writer's block was killing me, but it shouldn't happen again! x.x
"Ooh, yeah, please!" Zukini nodded enthusiastically to Sasuke's offer of showing her how he did his makeup. She never really wore the stuff herself, but she wanted to give it a shot, and she quite liked how Sasuke did his. "You're way kind to offer," she smiled, noting how his face had gone a little red but choosing not to make a comment about it. She liked the guy, so she didn't want to go making him any more embarrassed for no good reason. Even she wasn't that mean! (You know, not all the time.)
After that, Master Ren projected a larger version of the map that Zukini had handed to him out of the purple energy he seemed to be able to create; and of course, Zukini being Zukini, she couldn't help but literally 'ooh' and 'aah' over it with eyes widened in amazement. A small part of her wanted to touch it, but she shut that part up in favour of listening to what the boss had to say.
Ren told them about the tunnel leading to right outside the kingdom's castle's walls, and illustrated various places of the kingdom on the energy map; the market, the houses, a few farms and taverns and whatnot. Zukini silently took note of this, having quelled her amazement and managed to muster up some seriousness, and she smiled a bit as the boss mentioned how he managed to seal off practically every one of the kingdom's secret exits. Hah! Clever little buggers to have escape routes, but not clever enough to see something like this coming, she thought. I'm almost a little disappointed that the passageway to the ally kingdom was shut off. If they fled, we could've rained down vengeance on not just one land, but two... But hey-ho, decimation that comes slowly is decimation that can be savoured better, she shrugged the thought process off.
Finally, Ren told them that he'd be headed to the castle to deal with some knights and to find the princess, whereas they could do as they pleased until Nore gave them the signal to go to the castle. "Al-right," Zukini said quietly to herself, grinning and clenching her fist with excitement. She was looking forward to having a little free time to cause some chaos before (what she assumed was) the main event kicked in. "Little kingdom, death is approaching, and its name is Zukini~!" she giggled - well, more like cackled, really - as she continued on down the tunnel with everybody else, stretching her arms out above her head as she went.
At last, they emerged from the dark tunnel out into a green field, beyond which a stone wall could be seen.
" There it is. The kingdom of Quizen. Where it all begins."
"The kingdom of Quizen..." Zukini repeated quietly, staring past her boss at the stone wall that separated them from the unsuspecting land beyond. Her blue eyes briefly glanced at Ren, and she couldn't help but smile herself; this place really was where it all began. Where her life gained some semblance of real meaning, where she could finally find something to do, a cause to fight for... It hadn't dawned on her how much she'd wanted that until this point. Even if fighting for a kid who wants to remake the universe isn't exactly the most 'normal' thing to take on as a purpose in life, she thought to herself with a wry chuckle, going along with everyone to the path leading to the gates of the kingdom of Quizen. At least it's my purpose in life.
Zukini pulled herself out of her thought process just in time to see two anvils of purple energy smack the two guards in front of the gate, effectively taking them both out. She couldn't help but burst out laughing; coming out of a mushy train of thought to see something like that happening was priceless! "Oh... What did I even do for amusement before I met you people?" she wondered, more to herself than anything, before Ren began to speak once more.
" You can't beat the classics. I'll see you all real soon. Zukini and Sasuke will be leading you all. Come on Nore we have a princess to find."
Zukini laughed a bit and saluted as Ren and Nore left them, heading into the kingdom to do as they would, before turning to the other followers that she and Sasuke had been put in charge of. "Ah... well, boys and girls, here we are on our first escapade since the boss man's revival! I'm sure you're all feeling the excitement. I know I sure am," she winked at them. "Aaaanyways... I haven't particularly been 'in charge' of anything in my life, but I'll do what I can to lead you all into getting as much fun out of this... quaint little hamlet as you possibly can. Which, of course, means that we're gonna be causing mass confusion, fear, and likely a little death left right and centre; but I reckon we should do it subtly, to avoid word getting to the castle too quickly. Don't wanna kill the fun before it even starts, y'know?" That said, she set her free hand on her hip and smiled a bit. "That said, if push comes to shove and any of you need any help, come to me. Since I'm one of your leaders, I'm taking it upon myself to keep you lot safe and to ensure that you're crushing and killing to the best of your abilities! This form of mine can slightly heal people and my male form can cast barriers and increase people's speed, and in either form, I can tell you where people are through my aura sensing; y'know, in a certain area, at least. So don't be afraid to come to Auntie Zukini if you need any assistance, 'kay?" She giggled a bit, enjoying the feeling of being in charge of a group like this.
"Well, that's basically all I got to say before our mission of destruction begins in earnest... Sasuke, anything you wanna add before we get this show on the road?" she asked, casually leaning her elbow on Sasuke's shoulder and looking at him; she didn't mean anything by it, really, that was just the kind of thing she did with everyone. Since she barely took anything seriously, Zukini didn't exactly get the whole 'personal space' thing very much.

As Ren and Nore went through the town they passed by many people. Thankfully this kingdom was mostly populated by people who were new to this world, as most of the people from the original Yuio died when Ren blew it up. Because of this they did not recognize Ren and Nore, so they did not feel a need to be alarmed. But Ren knew that the king and queen do remember him, so if henwas going to get into the castle without making a scene he would have to find another way to get in besides the gates. " We'll have to get in through the secret entrance in the river," Ren told Nore. " That way no one will see us go in and we will be free to find the princess with minimal interruptions."
Nore, for the sake of not drawing attention to them, had her wings and claws retracted into her body. While there were other dragons in this world not everyone was going to think she was a friendly one. What was really on her mind was how Ren planned to use this pure heart the princess had. He didn't have a keyblade like his twin, unless he got one while he was in hell. Even if that was the case Ren wouldn't know how to fully use it, since he had no keyblade training from a master. He said he needed her pure heart for his plan, what did he need it for? " Oh yeah, okay." Nore responded. " Ren... can I ask you something?"
" What is it Nore?"
" You said you needed her pure heart for your plan. What are you going to use it for?"
" Oh Nore I don't want to spoil all the fun. It's a surprise, but I'm sure once this invasion is over I'll have no choice but to tell if I'm right about this. You'll just have to wait until then."
Once they got to the river they dove in and started swimming below the surface. It wasn't long before they found the underwater tunnel that was part of the secret exit from the castle. There was a small door on the side that had been locked and chained. Ren summoned one of his katanas and broke the chains and lock. Opening it he and Nore went in and closed it before the plqxe became flooded.
" Alright we're in." Ren said. He looked in the other direction away from the castle. " And they won't be using this to escape anytime soon." Ren's eyes started glowing purple as a barrier of purple energy closed off the exit, preventing anyone from using it to go to the other kingdom. " Let's go, I have a heart to take." Ren and Nore disappeared into the darkness as the py headed towards the castle.
Sasuke wished he was going with Ren. As much as he wanted to bring destruction to this kingdom he did want to see Ren's new powers in action. But once Nore signaled them to join them in the castle maybe he could see their master in action. Only time will tell. He was brought back from his thoughts when Zukini asked if there was anything he wanted to add. " Uh yeah," He told her. He looked at everyone. " Nore's signal will most likely be fire or an explosion of some kind from the castle. While I have no idea what Ren plans to do with the princess I know it will take some time. By now he should be close to being inside the castle. We should have plenty of time to do whatever we want with this kingdom. Do what you please, just try not to get in the way of each others attacks. With that said let's get moving!"
By the time eveeyone was into the kingdom a barrier of purple energy would be in front of the castle gates. Rhe barrier was also covering above and the sides of the kingdom. " This must be Ren's doing,' Sasuke said. " Now no one will be able to escape us!" He aimed his sword at one of the houses. He shot a beam of lightning at it destroying it. The towns people started running away in fear. " I love it when they run."
Back at the castle Ren and Nore had made it inside. They were below the castle before the secret passage took them into one of the rooms. Ren slightly opened the door to find a bunch of knights rushing towards the throne room. " They must be trying to tell the king and queen about the barrier I put up qnd the invasion. They'll try to come here no doubt. As much as I would love to surprise them we have to find the princess first. If I know her she should be in the garden. Follow me."
Ren and Nore went through the hallwayz before they ended up the the courtyard in the middle of the castle. There princess Eria was picking flowers and watching the birds fly by. " Wait here and keep a look out. She shouldn't call for help, she has no idea I'm evil or that I was the one who blew up our home world." Ren told Nore. Ren then slowly made his way over to Eria quietly.
Princess Eria picked one of the flowers and smelled it. " It's such a lovely day."
" indeed it is my dear Eria."
Eria turned to find Ren smiling at her. " Ren! What are you doing here? Did you finally decide to come and see your future wife?"
Nore had to hold herself back from attacking Eria. Ren laughed. " Oh Eria you are as innocent as ever. You are partly right. I am here to see you. But what I really am here for is your heart. Your body." Ren summoned one of his katanas.

Zukini silently listened as Sasuke spoke, her face breaking into a grin when it was time to get moving. She quickly removed her arm from her colleague's shoulder and turned around, almost breaking into a run in her eagerness to get into the kingdom but catching herself before she did; she wanted to get to the chaos-causing to flex her fighting muscle for the first time in a while, but she knew she had to wait for the others too.
It didn't take long for everyone to get into the kingdom; Zukini looked up and around herself as she entered, noting the strange, purple sheen that seemed to be covering the sky... What Sasuke said next, though, made everything make a lot more sense; it must have been a barrier. Looking further, she could see that it extended far enough to cover the sides of the kingdom as well as the sky. "Oh-ho, this is almost too good!" Zukini practically squealed with delight, her mind filled with wonderful thoughts on just what she could do with a whole kingdom of people who had no chance to escape. So many chances to flaunt her strength, to show all of them exactly who was strong now... oh, how she wished this was the Land of Dragons and her pathetic father could see her now! Her eyes lit up and she grinned when Sasuke torched one of the houses with his lightning.
" I love it when they run."
Zukini turned and nodded. "Makes things so much more interesting," she agreed, smiling at her comrade for a moment before turning towards the town, seeing and sensing the people running about in fear. Closing her eyes and drawing a deep breath, Zukini channelled her inner energies; she wanted to be at her fullest strength for this one, and to really let loose. With a shout, an aura of energy flared up around her then came back into an orb over her heart; a signal that she'd just used her Enhancement ability, which doubled her strength for the next little while.
"Pardon me, my dearies, but I'm gonna go catch me a few pesky insects," she said to Sasuke and the rest, shooting them a wink and a salute before she ran off further into the town's marketplace in search of more poor, unfortunate souls. Whenever she passed a person, they were usually in the process of running; Zukini wasted no time in putting her strength (which was currently at four times the strength of a strong human man) to good use, hitting one man in the heart area so hard that it stopped before turning and slamming her fist down so hard on a woman's skull that it shattered. "Ten points to Zukini," she chuckled nastily, remembering the rules of Ren's little game from earlier. "Now... Where'd the rest of you go?" In the time that she'd taken those two out, so far as she could see, the other peasants had fled. Zukini huffed a bit and set her hands on her hips. "Oh, whatever. You might think you're clever, but you're not as good as me..." Feeling offended at the idea, Zukini raised her left hand and clicked her fingers, changing into her male form. "You're making me waste my time, but I'm a patient... man... woman, whatever," he said, beginning to walk.
Zukini followed his aura sensing down through the market, aware of a large group somewhere around but not exactly knowing where it was. He imagined that must have been where those peasants had run off to. He also became aware of a person approaching him at speed; turning, he saw a young woman with short pink hair looking out of breath.
"Oh, sir," she panted, one hand on her heart as she tried to catch her breath. "I-I'm so glad I found someone. I don't know where everyone's gone, and I need to find everyone to make sure they're safe, and--"
"Shh," Zukini began in his best comforting tone, smiling and trying not to laugh. "Hey, now, it's okay... I'm here now," he said, placing his hand on the girl's shoulder in a friendly gesture. "I'll help you find everyone, okay? Just try not to look so frightened."
The pink-haired woman relaxed a bit, and nodded with a little smile. "Thank you, kind sir. Thank you very much!" she bowed.
Zukini almost felt sorry for the girl; almost. She had nothing to thank him for... "Not at all," he shook his head, before beginning to walk in the direction of the large group of auras he felt, motioning with his head for the girl to follow.
As they walked, the girl was taking deep breaths and looking at the ground, clearly frightened by the situation. "Uh... My name's Hilda," she offered along the way, apparently trying to make conversation to calm herself. "What's yours?"
Zukini looked to Hilda, unsure for a moment of what to say before finally just smiling and shaking his head. "Tell you later, Hildy," he nicknamed her as he usually did with people, continuing to lead her through the market.
Finally, they left the market area and arrived at the houses that lay beyond. Zukini could feel the auras of many people somewhere around here; it seemed as though they'd taken refuge here, trying to hide from the invaders that had come. Poor saps. "Well, Hildy, I got some good news, at least. We've found everyone," he said, walking with her to the house that he sensed the auras in.
Hilda looked up at him, green eyes twinkling. "Really? And they're alive?!" she asked, grabbing his hand and holding it tight with excitement. "Oh, thank goodness, thank goodness...!"
Zukini scowled just a tiny bit; he didn't like having Hilda clutching onto him so tightly. She had a grip like a vice. An annoying, tiny vice. "I wouldn't go thanking goodness quite yet, lady..." he said quietly as he opened the door. Before the girl could ask, he smiled at her and motioned for her to go inside. "Ladies first!"
The pink-haired girl smiled again. "Thank you. You're such a gentleman," she giggled, before going inside.
Zukini followed her in, to a room absolutely packed with the people who'd run earlier. The room was practically bursting with them, all crammed into the tiny, one-room house (which was more like a hut than anything; it was in a particularly poor area.)
"Hilda!" an older man cried, running over and hugging the girl. "Oh, you're here! We're saved!"
Zukini frowned. "Saved? Because of her?" he asked, folding his arms. "What'd make you say that?"
The man smiled. "Well, Hilda is known for her brave spirit. She's a warrior in training, eager to protect the land that she loves! I know that with her here, we'll all be alright," he said fondly, ruffling the girl's hair before letting her go.
Hilda giggled a bit. "Actually, it's only because of this man here that I'm in front of you now," she said. "He brought me here safely."
One of the other women, sitting on the floor, looked up. "You protected Hilda from that bizarre boy with the lightning and his lady accomplice?" she asked.
Zukini chuckled at the irony of the fact that the 'lady accomplice' was right before their eyes, and he shook his head. "No, not really. We didn't see them on the way..." He turned towards Hilda, meeting her eyes and smirking at the thought of what was to come. "Hey, Hildy," he began. "You know how you asked me my name earlier?"
Hilda seemed a little put off by the slight shift in the man's demeanour, but she relaxed quickly, smiling and nodding. "Yes, I did," she said. "You never did tell me..."
"Well, lemme tell you now, then..." Zukini said, looking around at the gathered townsfolk before looking back to their hero with an evil smirk. "I... I am Death!"
Hilda gasped in fright, and Zukini raised his arm and switched forms again, able to catch the girl by the wrist before she could get too far away thanks to the room being so small. "Oh, ladies and gentlemen; behold your would-be protector!" she cackled, dropping her staff and grabbing hold of Hilda's hair with all that enhanced strength before giving a hard pull, leaving the group of fifteen or so to gape in horror as the 'lady accomplice' held their young hero's head in her hand. As they watched in terror and shock, Hilda's body fell headless to the floor.
Zukini loved the rush she got from showing her power like this; it made her feel invincible, even if she wasn't. "Now it's your turn!" she gleefully shouted at the crowd, launching Hilda's head at them before running at them all, ready to show them a similar fate.

Meanwhile inside the castle a group of knights were telling the king and queen about the invasion. " But who would be invading?" the king asked. " We have no enemies that could produce such an attack." Indeed the world was still young and most of the kingdoms were still developing. None of them had such an army. " We have no idea my lord. But they seem to be far beyond our power. We're not even sure if Hilda can handle them."
" Then it is worse than I feared." The king stood up from his throne. " Find our daughter Eria and anyone else you can save. We have no other choice than to use the secret exit. We'll have to regroup with as many allies as we can. This is something beyond all of us, this is something the O'Malleys would be facing.' The queen looked at her husband. " Speak for yourself." she told him. She got up. " You can run away if you wish, but I refuse to be forced out of my new home without a fight. I'm getting my armor. I'll deal with whoever this is by myself if I have to." The queen disappeared somewhere in the castle to prepare to fight for her land.
The king turned to the knights. " My wife is a fool. this is beyond even her. Just bring whoever you can to safety. My daughter should be in the garden if I know her. Some of you come with me. The rest of you bring any of the lucky few who can escape to the exit." Some of the knights hurried into the kingdom where the chaos was happening while the others followed the king into the garden.
Princess Eria looked at Ren with complete shock in her eyes. " My heart? My body? What do you mean?" Ren laughed. " Don't worry my dear Eria I'm not going to kill you. You see Eria I have a plan that will finally allow me to reach my goal and you are a vital part of this plan. I need you so I can-"
" Eria! The kingdom is being invaded. We need to use the exit to get out of here!" The three turned to find the king and some knights standing on the other side of the garden. Only then did the king notice Ren and Nore. " Nore! R-Ren!? This can't be!" Ren gave an evil laugh as he smiled at the king and his knights. " I'm afraid it is."
" What do you want with my daughter? Get away from her! Eria run!"
" She won't be going anywhere with you. Even if she was where would you all go? The secret exit?" Ren laughed some more.
The king took a step back in horror. " How did you know about that? No don't tell me that's how you got in here?!"
" Now you're catching on. I must admit it was a pretty good secret. But nothing will stand in my way when I'm going after my goal. You can still use it if you want, but you won't get very far! As for your daughter she's coming and staying with me from now on." Ren turned to Eria. " Do you like the sound of that? Staying with me?"
" Oh goddess yes! I've been waiting for the day you asked me to come stay with you."
" No Eria! Get away from him! He's not who you think he is. Ren is not someone you want to be with."
" Don't listen to him. Listen to your heart. You know as well as I do you want nothing more than to be with me."
" Ren I swear as long as I am still breathing I will not let you touch my daughter!"
" Then I guess I'll have to fix your little breathing problem won't I?" Ren looked at Eria. " Stay right there. This won't take long." Ren looked back at the king and the knights, who were drawing their swords. " This will be where you all die. When I'm done with you there will be nothing left." Ren's eyes and free hand started glowing a bright purple. " You have no idea the power I posses!"
Sasuke and the other followers were having the time of their lives. It had been so long since their last mission with Ren they almost forgot how much fun they were. Sasuke was killing people with his swordsmanship left and right. " Ha already over six hundred points." Sasuke said. " At this rate I'll be the one to decide this kingdom's fate." He looked around at all of the destroyed buildings and dead bodies. " Though by the time that comes around there might not be anything left."
Sasuke looked towards the castle. " I wonder if Ren and Nore are having as much fun as we are. I almost feel sorry for the king and queen. Almost." Sasuke the noticed the knights running out of the castle. " Huh looks like some of them have escaped Lord Ren's wrath. Too bad for them I'm still out here." Sasuke quickly blocked their path. " You aren't going anywhere. Not while I'm around. Lord Ren says I can do whatever I want with you, so I guess I'll kill you. Got to keep my high score up."
Before the knights could attack Sasuke there was an explosion of purple energy from the castle. Everyone looked towards the castle to see it came from the garden. " Purple energy. You see you cannot stop Lord Ren. Even as we speak your king and queen are dying at his hands" Sasuke drew his sword and started attacking the knights.
Back at the garden as the dust settled the king and the knights were nowhere to be found. The only trace of them were the smears of blood along the ground. Ren was laughing. " I tried to warn them. No one gets in my way and lives. Now my dear Eria I think it is time we took our leave. You should find our hideout quite nice. I will make sure your stay is comfortable."
" You will not be taking my daughter anywhere!" The queen came into the garden dressed in armor. " I am going to kill you right here and now."
Ren rolled his eyes. " If I had a dime for every time someone told me that I could buy the universe. Nore go ahead an light the signal. I'll deal with miss hero over here. By the time the others meet us she won't be breathing like her husband." Nore took a deep breath before firing a ball of fire into the air. it stayed there to serve as the signal for the others to join them.
After Sasuke was done killing the knights he looked up to see the ball of fire. He looked at everyone. " There's the signal!" He shouted." Let's join Ren and Nore!" Everyone started to head into the castle.

It didn't take long for Zukini to make the rest of the house of surviving peasants go the same way as their heroine; although she was sure she noticed someone running away amidst the chaos, the rest of the huddled group were soon scattered lifeless about the floor, and the house had been brought down for good measure. Seventy-five more points; well, actually, seventy since that one got away, she thought as she left the burning wreckage, probably much too casually considering all the havoc going on around her, using her staff to push aside unsightly corpses that she didn't feel like dragging her boots through. I wonder if Miss Hilda was like those ones, or if she was a little better off? ...Eh, I'll count her as a peasant just so I'm not getting ahead of myself. That's eighty-five in total.
Zukini set her hands on her hips and huffed; she wasn't doing anywhere near as well as she thought she would! Meanwhile, Sasuke seemed to be really getting into the spirit of things; heck, most of the town was gone thanks to his efforts. "I've got a long way to go yet..." Zukini said to herself, before focusing on her senses to work out where the other people were. She didn't actually have that much in the line of combat experience, so she wasn't anywhere near as powerful as she would have liked to be. In time... in time. This isn't anything to get distressed about, anyway, she thought, beginning to walk around to better seek those auras. Her sensing only worked in a twenty-foot radius, which meant that she still had to do a lot of her searching the old-fashioned way; it was a bit annoying, but on the other hand, she kind of enjoyed the thrill of the chase.
After finally arriving further in the residential area of the kingdom, Zukini found what she was looking for; some particularly big, fancy houses and some particularly fancy-looking people on the run. Bingo~! she thought, laughing as she ran after the rich-looking men and women, putting an end to them quickly with a few well-placed strikes with her boosted strength. Just after she'd thrown one lifeless man to the ground, she suddenly heard what could only be described as a war cry from behind her; turning, she saw a woman who looked like some kind of nobility charging at her, raising her fancy purple handbag and smacking Zukini around the head with it.
For a moment, Zukini was a bit too stunned to react; the handbag hadn't been particularly heavy, and the impact hadn't hurt that much, but it was the simple fact that someone had smacked her with a handbag that was so shocking. She stared the middle-aged woman out for a bit, her face expressionless... before she started snickering, and then outright laughing. "You know what? I liked that!" she said between laughs, wiping her eye. "Even in the face of all this danger, you're still willin' to rush up and whack Death upside its head with your purse. I like that, you got guts," she commended, setting a hand on her hip and nodding.
The woman's eyes had widened in horror, as though she'd only just now became fully aware of what she'd done, and she took a step back. She didn't fully understand why this girl was attacking them all, she didn't understand why the girl was acting positively after being assaulted... and, really, she just plain didn't understand the girl's speech patterns. The woman herself was very high class, while Zukini spoke in a way that really kind of wasn't. "I... I thank you for your praise, kind Lady... I apologise, I did not catch your name in amongst all the commotion," she said shakily, feeling a bit more comfortable about talking since the girl had commended her 'guts.'
"My name's-- ooh, lookie, another fifty!" Zukini suddenly declared, distracted from what she was saying as another woman attempted to run away behind her back. Quickly, she put her leg out, effectively tripping the young lady up before smacking her around the head with the business end of her staff, causing her to fall limp against the ground. "Sweet. That's a hundred and eighty-five!" she beamed with pride, before turning back to the middle-aged woman with the handbag. "Sorry 'bout that altercation there, ma'am. My name's Zukini," she replied, figuring there was no harm in telling her. If Zukini let her live, it might start a reputation, and that wasn't exactly a bad thing.
The woman looked shaken, but she nodded all the same, trying to remain strong. After all, if the young Lady Hilda could push past her fears enough to protect Quizen, she figured she could do the same! "L-Lady Zukini, yes. I thank you for your kind words, spoken to a humble noblewoman such as I," she curtseyed respectfully, staying quiet and attempting to keep the girl's attention as her son slowly crept up at the back of the invader, brandishing a sword and ready to strike.
Zukini smiled, enjoying the praise. "You're a decent suck-up," she said. "It almost makes me not wanna kill you. Y'know, almost." Becoming aware of something, her eyebrow raised, before she looked back to the noblewoman with a less amused expression. "Hey, what's your name?" she asked.
The noblewoman gulped, seeing her son get ever closer. "I am called Asaia, Lady Zukini," she answered, tentatively returning the smile. "'Tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance--"
"Yeah, yeah, charmed, I'm sure," Zukini interrupted her, folding her arms. "I just wanted to know your name so I could tell you somethin' in more... personal terms? Is that the phrase? Eh, who cares," she shrugged, shaking her head clear of the thought process.
Asaia frowned for a moment. "I-I'm sorry? You wished to tell me something?"
"Yes," Zukini nodded. An annoyed but cruel smile came over her face as she said, "Miss Asaia... If you were trying to distract the person who can detect people's aura signatures, you've just failed pretty hard." With that, she turned suddenly around to face Asaia's son, who had frozen in fright with his eyes widened and his sword still drawn back. "I appreciate the gutsy and the brave, you know," she said, looking the young man up and down with a smirk. "If you weren't seeking to take my life, I might've liked you," she stated with amusement.
The man stared in shock for a moment more, before shaking his head and relentlessly rushing forward. He was an inexperienced fighter and the sword was purely ornamental - formerly hanging above his and his mother's fireplace before all this happened - but he wanted to fight as best he could. With a shout, he stabbed the sword forward repeatedly.
Zukini avoided most of the young fellow's stabs, but the last one got her in the shoulder. She grimaced, not having felt pain in a good long while, before grabbing hold of the blade and breaking it in two. "You can start regretting that now," she said, pulling the part of the longsword's blade that was still in her shoulder out and throwing it at the man. It hit him in the forehead and went through like a bullet, leaving him to fall down lifeless. No longer in a gaming mood, Zukini simply turned around towards Asaia, who was once again frozen in fear, and broke her neck. "Two-hundred and eighty-five," she mumbled to herself, storming back to where the others were, taking out a few more fleeing nobles on the way and raising her count to four-hundred and eighty-five.
By the time she arrived, she heard Sasuke's voice from not too far away, telling everyone that the signal was there and that they were to go join Ren and Nore. "Ooh, pretty," Zukini looked up like a magpie towards the ball of fire that hung in the air and lit up the surrounding area, smiling. She forgot all about her shoulder, which was still bleeding a bit and causing her a (thankfully manageable) degree of pain, as she ran to join everyone on the way to the castle. Even if she was a little angry about the altercation of earlier, and a little disappointed in herself - after all, fifteen peasants, six nobles and a would-be hero was hardly much of a body count - she was, above all, excited to see this plan through to its successful end.

Sasuke was quite pleased with himself. He had about one thousand six hundred points thanks to the knights. " Looks like I'll be the one to decide this kingdom's fate, unless there are a horde of knights on our way to Ren." He said to himself. From where the fire ball was coming from Sasuke could tell that Ren and Nore were in the garden. Since it was in the center of the castle they must have gone through a good number of knights to get there. " I think to secure my winning score I'll have to kill the king and queen. There's no telling how many knights Nore and Ren could habe gone through."
Sasuke was the first one to make it to the castle followed by theother followers. Sasuke looked at them all. " From where the fire ball is They have to be in the garden. It should be right down the main hall and to the left. I'm sure they offed a good number of knights but there's no telling how many are left here. So be on yojr guard." Sasuke thought he could also up his score a bit if there were any left.
Walking to the main hall, they would find the bodies of countless knights scattered around the floor. There were an uncountable number of slash marks all over the bodies, floors, and walls. Most of the place was destroyed with tables and chairs broken, paintings on the walls were ripped, ans countless holes were in the walls. " Looks like either Nore or Ren got carried away. Such a shame I couldn't watch them have so much fun."
The was a last scream followed by a knight falling from a higher place crashing down on the ground. A few seconds later a woman with green hair and emerald eyes followed the man. She landed on top ofhim, stomping on his chest ending his life. She looked towards the others with her emotionless eyes. In her right hand was a red and black katana, the left a red pistol.
" Lisa, so this was your doing," Sasuke said. " You cleared out most of this castle, so I guess you got the high score."
" What are you talking about high scores?" Lisa asked. " I just got back from my mission ad followed what you guys were doing. I assumed Ren ordered this. There's no one else left besides the auras in the garden. Although from what I sense it looks like one of them just died. My cousin is there and so is Nore. The last aura I have no idea but she seems to be quite attached to my cousin."
" That must be the princess' aura. That means Ren has found her. Come on everyone it looks like Ren ia ready to move on. This way."
By the time they would have all gotten there the queen would have been dead. Her body layed flat on the ground with her own blue sword through he body. Ren's eyes would still be glowing a bright purple. He placed one foot on top of her body before he begun to laugh. " Oh how far the mighty have fallen. I tried to warn her, but I guess she chose to die a so called hero. Such a pity, I was willing to let her join us too. We could hqve used her to deceive other kingdoms. But I guess it's better this way, she probably couldn't be trusted anyway. I musy give her credit though, she was much stronger than her husband. She was probably the strongest in the kingdom. But no matter how strong she was this was the only possible outcome."
Ren finally looked at the people joining them. " Ah I see you've all arrived. How was recess? Did you have fun? Who's team won and what was the score?"
" I would like to say I won my Lord," Sasuke told him. " But Lisa joined us at some point and cleared out all of the knights that were remaining in the castle. And from the look of it you killed the king and queen."
" Oh Lisa my dear cousin you always were late to events. But if you're here you must be done with the mission I assigned you before I left. You can tell me the details when we get back. But for now," Ren turned to the princess. " Why don't we discuss things back at my place? That way I won't have to explain my phase two more than once." The princess nodded in excitement. " Wonderful. One thing though."
Ren walked back to the dead queen's body. The took the sword out of her body and looked at it. " Ah if it isn't Regiod. Whoever wields this blade has the right to rule over this kingdom. It's only fitting that I wield it now. I can already tell how many people will die by this blade." He turned back to the others. " So I got what I can here for and more. Tell me Sasuke, Zukini are we ready to head back? We cqn discuss this kingdoms fate and phase two if so."

Zukini arrived up at the castle with the others, seeing Sasuke already there ahead of them. He told them that, judging by the position of Nore's fireball, she and Ren would be in the garden; he also told them to be on their guard, to which Zukini stuck her thumb up and nodded to signal she got the message. Her shoulder was still bleeding a bit from earlier and causing her some pain, but it was nothing that would get in the way if a fight should occur.
After that, Zukini walked along with the others, noting how, well, wrecked the place seemed to be. She whistled appreciatively as she looked around at the scattered bodies, broken furniture and partially destroyed walls. "Kinda wish I had seen it myself," she replied to Sasuke's comment, looking at the downed knights. "It would've been a good opportunity to take a few pointers... that and a good massacre's always fun to watch," she chuckled a bit to herself, before stopping suddenly upon hearing a scream. Turning her head, she saw one last knight come crashing down, followed by a woman bearing a gun and a sword. Zukini couldn't help but give a cheer; she didn't know who the green-haired woman was, but she thought that stylish execution was impressive.
She stopped cheering fairly quickly, though, and watched as Sasuke and the woman spoke. Seemingly her name was Lisa, and by the sounds of it, she was Ren's cousin. Huh... there must be some fascinating genetics in that family, Zukini thought to herself with a slight chuckle, one eyebrow raised as she thought about red-eyed, red-haired Ren and his green-haired, green-eyed cousin here. Not that there's anything wrong with funky looks, though! That and I'm hardly normal to look at myself, at least in this form... Bringing herself out from her thoughts, Zukini heard that Ren had seemingly found the princess he'd been looking for, and so it was time to get going to meet them. Zukini went along with the others, grinning in excitement at how well this plan was going thus far; this was definitely the most fun she'd had in a long time.
When they arrived, Zukini was greeted by the sight of a dead woman with a blue blade sticking through her, with Ren standing over her with his eyes glowing purple. "Oh, awesome," Zukini mumbled, her eyes practically twinkling with excitement and her mouth slightly hanging open as she leaned forward to get a good look at the sight. As a seeker of power, other people with the kind of power that she wanted to have were impressive to her; that was one of the reasons she followed Ren in the first place, that and a morbid kind of fascination about what it was that he was intending to do. He spoke of how it was a shame since the dead woman could have been an asset to them, and how she was likely the strongest person in this entire kingdom; but, he rightly pointed out that she couldn't have been trusted. Zukini stood up properly, closed her mouth and nodded slightly in agreement; she wasn't a trusting person by nature thanks to past experiences, so she wouldn't have trusted the woman either. As a matter of fact, she didn't even trust Ren or his followers; she worked with them - for them, in Ren's case - but she was wary about sharing personal details or weaknesses, and she always kept her eyes out for sneak attacks. Whether or not she had a reason to be, she was like that with everybody.
"Ah I see you've all arrived. How was recess? Did you have fun? Who's team won and what was the score?" Ren addressed them all. Zukini set her hand on her hip and beamed. "Oh, much fun was had, boss," she gave a casual wink, before remembering all the events of earlier and feeling mildly disappointed. "Even if I only did score two-hundred and eighty five," she added quietly and somewhat bitterly, clearing her throat and looking to one side. It bothered her that she still had so much to learn if she was ever going to be powerful... it wasn't in her nature to get bent out of shape about anything, so it wasn't too much of a worry, though she still wasn't exactly happy about it.
Sasuke then spoke to Ren, saying that he would have liked to think that he won their game, before informing Ren about Lisa's appearance and how she'd taken out the knights in the castle. Ren then addressed Lisa, telling her to give him the details of the mission she'd been on prior to coming here later on, before he turned to the kingdom's princess and recommended discussing everything back at his place. Zukini watched the princess excitedly nodding, and she couldn't help but smile a bit at her naïveté, almost feeling slightly sorry for the poor sap. She must really have it bad for the fella if she's willing to go with Ren after he killed her mother right there before her eyes... though maybe she just never had much heart for her mother in the first place. Who knows? And more accurately, who cares... if the poor girl's happy between now and whatever Ren has planned for her - because I'm sure as heck thinking that it won't be marriage and a happily ever after in the land of bunnies and kittens - then good for her.
In the time Zukini had been thinking, Ren had picked up the sword from the dead queen's body, referring to it as 'Regiod,' the blade that entitled the wielder to rule over this kingdom. When he mentioned how many people would die by that very blade, Zukini giggled and eyed the blue sword, admiring it. It looked like a powerful weapon, probably capable of causing great destruction if it were in the right hands. "Wonderful," she murmured to herself, before blinking out of her thoughts and looking to Ren as he addressed herself and Sasuke. "I'm ready to go when you guys are, boss man," Zukini nodded, smirking a bit. "I don't know about everybody else, but I definitely don't have any further business in this kingdom, and I'm highly eager to hear about the next phase of the plan."

Lisa just listened in on everyone's report, since she had no idea what was going on. Ren had sent her away on a mission before he went to hell, so she had no idea about this invasion. The only reason she was here was because when she went back to the hideout the people who remained told her about all this. Knowing her cousin these high scores were most likely based on how many people they killed.
" I have done all that has need to be done," Sasuke said. " So it looks like we're ready to leave"
" Excellent," Ren took princess Eria's hand. " Let's go my dear.” Eria blushed as Ren led her out the castle. Nore followed them, giving the princess a death glare from behind the whole way back. Ren was her man in her eyes. Ren never showed interest in relationships before, why did he act this way with Eria? Nore hoped it was only to convince her to go with his plan, whatever it was.
Meanwhile there were other events going on somewhere on the other side of the world. In princess Iris’ kingdom in her garden, that was put back to normal after being destroyed by Metal Riley, Ren and Riley’s grandmother Pandora was training her great granddaughters, Amy and Jenny. AMy was the daughter of Winda and Riley and jenny was the daughter of Maple and Riley.
Amy and Jenny were very strong for their age, but they still had a long way to go before they would be anywhere close to Pandora's level. .Madison was even there meditating . Madison opened her eyes as she looked in the direction of where Ren and the others were. Pandora also stopped, blocking both Amy and Jeeny’s attacks. “ Why don’t you two go and see if your father is up yet,” Pandora told them. “ He can’t oversleep again.” The two girls nodded before going into the castle to look for Riley.
“ So you feel it too,” Pandora asked Madison.
“ Yes,” she said “ Ren is finally back in the world of the living.”
“ Why do you think it took him so long to come back?”
“ I don’t know, but he’s stronger than ever. He must have unlocked something while in hell.”
“ He’s going to become even stronger soon, i can feel it.”
“ There's no telling what he’s planning, but we’ll have to prepare for anything.”
“ We’ll have to make Riley stronger… do you think he’s ready?”
“ To become a full goddess? No he’s far from it.”
“ Well it’s a good thing there is one thing he can become soon.”
Madison just looked at her. He knew it was the only way, but he still didn’t like it.
When Ren and the others made it back to the hideout he turned back to everyone. “ Now that phase one is complete it is time to move on to phase two. But before that Lisa did get the most points so she gets to decide the fate of the fallen kingdom. Lisa?”
“ I don’t care what happens to it… but we could keep it, rebuild it even. Wbetter than ever.It could be a great addition to our base. Think about it, an entire kingdom would be ours. With everyone there already dead no one else will be using the forest outside of it besides a few travelers. with the princess on our side she could be the leader over there while at the same time acting like she’s just replacing her fallen parents. A story about invaders from another kingdom would do just fine to cover up what we did. With us growing in numbers all that space could be used for more space for our members. It already has a secret passageway that leads to that other kingdom. We could invade that one even easier than we did this one.”
Ren laughed. “ i like the way you think, i can see it now all the other kingdoms fooled by a lie having no idea Eria is on our side.an even bigger sneak invasion would be so much fun. But that is for another day. We’ll have to get back to that kingdom soon to set it all up. Now as promised i’ll tell you all phase two of my master plan.”
“ It’s very simple really. In order for me to reach our goal i’ll have to surpass my brother Riley first. I’ve finally figured out how i can do that. I’ll have to ascend and become a full goddess. But the sad part is i have no idea how to do that, at least not yet. That’s where Zuikini comes in. I told you you had a big part to play in this. You see my brother is also trying to become a full goddess. He nor none of his friends know anything about you. Princess Eria is a good friend of his fifth wife princess iris. She can take you there as an aspiring knight who seeks to train under her and Riley. There you can figure out exactly how Riley is trying to become a goddess. You wo’t have to worry about getting information out of him for very long. You see unlike me my brother is a whore. There is no doubt in my mind he will try to take you out. when that comes you will be able to get him to tell you almost anything. What do you think?”

Zukini watched Ren take the princess’s hand and lead her away, and despite her rather malicious nature, she couldn’t help but give a smile and a quiet ‘aww’ to herself at the sight. She herself wasn’t all that interested in romance, really – even though she had more than a few men across the worlds, she’d never thought of actually settling down or having a real relationship with actual feelings – but she found herself thinking that it was quite a sweet sight. I wonder what part that she’s got to play in this whole ‘new universe’ deal, Zukini wondered as she followed Ren and the others out the castle. The boss man said he was after her ‘pure heart,’ if I remember right… It’s been said on other worlds that hearts with strong light or darkness usually belong to very powerful people, and surely someone pure would have a lotta light. So maybe, just maybe, he’s looking to use that light for something and-- oh my gosh, Nore’s face is practically tripping her, that’s so sad! The theory Zukini had been thinking up to entertain her mind on the walk ended very suddenly as her thoughts took a sudden swerve, and she laughed at the sight before she could help it. She’d only just noticed the glare on the dragon girl’s face, aimed squarely at the back of Princess What’s-Her-Name’s head. (It began with E, she knew that much; it was Eire or Eric or Eros or something like that. Zukini didn’t have the best track record with remembering names, since people usually weren’t important enough to her to bother remembering their names.) After quelling her laughter, Zukini went over to Nore and decided to attempt to be comforting for once in her life. “Aw, someone looks like they’re jealous~” she said in a quiet, singsong tone, giving Nore what was meant to be a friendly nudge in the arm and smirking playfully. “Oh don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone if you are,” she went on, flapping her wrist dismissively as she looked from Nore to the princess, making sure to speak quietly enough that nobody would hear her. “Just a little girl to girl advice, though – or, well, ‘mostly girl’ to girl anyways - you might wanna step up your game if you wanna snare the boss for your own. That princess looks pret-ty interested in him, so you might wanna sink your claws – or, y’know, talons – in there before she does.” Yes, even though she was the one announcing that her name was Death earlier in that day, Zukini was still having fun playing matchmaker like this; it gave her something to do on the rather long walk back to base, after all.
Finally, they arrived back at their base. Zukini’s eyes lit up at the mention of the fabled ‘phase two’ that she was to play a part in, but the subject was changed and her excited expression changed to a somewhat deflated one pretty fast. She twirled her staff about in her right hand while Ren and his cousin spoke, kind of listening to them make plans on what to do with Quizen but mostly getting distracted by watching the dragon head on the top of her staff spin around, before looking back to Ren as the words ‘phase two’ came up again.
Ren explained that, in order for their plan to come to fruition, he would have to become stronger than his brother. How to do that? Well, he’d have to become a goddess! …I’m not even surprised anymore, Zukini almost laughed, tilting her head a little to the side as she listened to what the boss was saying. Guy’s related to people with what looks like natural green hair, can make solid energy stuff an’, let's not forget, has been to Hell. Of course he has to turn into a goddess to beat his brother so he can rewrite the universe! It was funny to her because, not so very long ago, her life had been pretty boring and mundane in the Land of Dragons; then suddenly her dad stabbed her and she split into two people, then they recombined, and now she was in league with the guy who was gonna turn into a goddess and remake the universe. She didn’t imagine many others back home could say that!
Returning her attentions to what Ren was saying, Zukini found her eyebrow raising at two things; the first being that Ren’s brother was also trying to become a ‘full goddess’ – which raised all kinds of questions in her mind about exactly how these people were going about becoming divinity, and how these male people were turning into ‘goddesses,’ though she imagined there would have been some reason for that – and the second being that Ren mentioned his brother’s ‘fifth wife,’ Princess Iris. Man alive, I know I’ve had my share of ‘company’ across the worlds, but even I haven’t married five freakin’ different people! Eh, not that I’d tie myself down by getting’ married anyways, Zukini thought, before shaking her head a little and telling herself to stay in the game, to pay attention. For once, this was actually important!
The plan was for Zukini to pose as a would-be knight and be taken to this Princess Iris by Princess Eria, so that she could find out how Ren’s brother was going about becoming a full goddess… and apparently, this whorish brother would be easy to get the information from, since he would end up asking Zukini out and then he’d give her any sort of information.
When Ren asked her what she thought, Zukini started with the important things: “Huh… I don’t know. Is he hot?” she asked, tilting her head to the side and chuckling a bit. She’d definitely been caught off-guard by that plan, but Zukini was all for new experiences, and so she didn’t really object. “Eh, whether he is or he isn’t, I’m not gonna complain. I’ve never had to be a seductress before, so it might be kinda fun,” she laughed. “What the hell, count me in. I’m actually looking forward to this; it’ll definitely be a change from the norm, at least!”

Nore's face turned red as Zukini suggested that she was jealous of Princess Eria. " M-me? Jealous of her?" She exclaimed. " Why would i be jealous of her? It's obvious Ren is only acting that way to get her to do what he wants, he's never shown interest in relationships before. Besides if he was we all know he would be going for me instead of her. I have the advantage. She may be obsessed with him but i know more about him. She's like what, 19 at most? I'm much closer to Ren's age than her. She's only human, she won't even live to be a century old. I would be able to stay with Ren for eons to come. Plus Ren would most likely want powerful kids. He's already half demon and half goddess. Imagine what would happen once we add my dragon DNA to that." Even after all this Nore didn't stop glaring at Eria the whole way back.
Ren couldn't help but chuckle when Zukini asked if his brother was hot. " Well that all depends on what you find hot." He told her. " But he might not be your type right now. You see my brother was cursed a while back by the black witch. She put a curse on him that turned him into a girl. ever since he's been stuck like that, but that doesn't stop him from flirting and trying to get with every girl he sees. There are also two others who had the same curse put on them, two of his mistresses, i mean friends; Nazo and Shade. Don't worry, you'll know which one is Riley; he's the really short one with really long red and black hair. He'll make himself known to you. Anyway since you're ready to be a seductress Eria can take you immediately."
Princess Eria nodded. " I promise i'll get her there as soon as possible." She told him. " Ready to go Zukini? If i remember what Sasuke told me correctly i know which tunnel will take us the closest to there."
~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile back at Iris' castle Amy and Jenny were looking through the castle for their father. They finally found him in his and Iris' room fast asleep. He was hanging off the edgy of the bed upside down. He was talking in his sleep. " Why yes Rachel, i do think you're the prettiest girl in the village," He said. " Now what do you say we take this back to my place?"
Amy rolled her eyes. " Of course he is." She sighed. " Dad wake up. It's time to get back to training."
" Yeah yeah Jackie i'll be there in a minute, can't you see it's Rachel's turn?" Riley turned over without waking up.
" Who are Jackie and Rachel?" Jenny asked.
" Never mind that, i know how to get him out of bed. Father Iris was looking for you in the garden. She said it was important but she didn't say what it was. Something to do with some girl from the pub and a picnic."
Riley leaped out of the bed. " I knew she would finally say yes to it!" He ran out of the room and was out of sight in an instant.
He made it out to the garden only to find Pandora and Madison. He looked around. " Where's Iris? Where's that cute redhead from yesterday?"
" What are you talking about? You know what i don't want to know." Pandora said. " It's time to start your training today. Since it took so long for your lazy ass to get up we're doubling what we did yesterday."
Riley wasn't really paying attention. He was still looking around for Iris and that other girl. It took him a minute for him to realize what happened " What? Damn it i feel for it again!"
