route_1065 | When the Lucis cry.

... If you're here to volunteer to be the priest for our wedding, I'll have to pass on that ofter.

But in all seriousness, you better have a good reason for dragging us out here and getting Luci involved into this too.

Oh, no, you're the one who got Lucifer of Pride involved in this. Really. I could blame her for getting herself involved, but...no, I will. You both are at fault: Lucifer of Pride, the eldest sister of Beatrice's Furniture, whom I had expected better of, is at fault for having flights of fancy concerning love, and with a human, no less.

[ She places one hand on her hip and points at Keiichi with the other. ]

You, however--you don't have even the slightest idea of your sins, do you?

[She's not saying anything, just silence coming from her. What should she do now?

Keiichi's sins...? What's that...]

[Keiichi's face is expressionless. What sins was she talking about? The things he did before moving into the village? Or the time he killed two of his friends in cold blood? Those were the biggest ones that came to his mind off the metaphorical bat.]

... If you came here to simply harass us, we're going to leave.

No. No, you are going to stay. You will stay because Lucifer of Pride will stay; Lucifer of Pride will stay because it is her responsibility as Furniture in the face of a witch and her responsibility to her master.

You will also stay because--

[ The ground shakes and trembles; from behind Keiichi and Lucifer, the ground erupts and Lambdadelta's Tyranitar slowly bursts forth from the ground the two had just recently walked over, blocking their path back. ]

--I have foreseen your moves and planned accordingly; you have no choice but to stay, listen, and receive the judge's adjudication.

[Shit, shit, shiiiit. This is not going to end well, right?]

We're staying.

[Repeating to not forget, right? Tsk, that Tyranitar sure looks though...]

[HOLY CRAP WHAT. Keiichi turns around to look shocked at the Tyranitar for a moment.]

--Keh! Whaaaat? I'm sure she's making this crap up as she goes along!

Edited 2011-06-03 02:06 (UTC)

[But then, he'll walk up to Lambdadelta and dramatically point a finger towards her.]

But alright then, Miss Certainty! We'll stick around for this lousy trial of yours...!!!

Haaa, only a fool willingly allows himself to be judged for sins he has no knowledge of. Fine! Maebara Keiichi, Magician of Words; Lucifer of Pride, Furniture of the Golden Witch--I, Lambdadelta, Witch of Certainty and all that is absolute...

Hereby commence your trial! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p85zQLOMlUY)

[ As the perpetual background music changes, she lets out a laugh with sadistic smile; she makes the first move in the trial: ]

Miyoko!

[ The Tyanitar roars, ignores Lucifer entirely, and makes a charge for Keiichi. Of course~! Of course this would be solved by a Pokémon battle.

...Unless neither have what it takes and the boy is knocked unconscious by the monster. Then, they will be judged guilty. ]

[Lucifer didn't think think it twice to pick one of her pokeballs and think in which one would be more effective against the Tyranitar.]

Keiichi!

[Keiichi turns around to do a leap backwards. Be cool! Be cool, Maebara Keiichi! This giant monster is only a pebble on the sidewalk! He had to think fast! This Pokemon looked like a Rock type! What was the natural enemy of all rock types? Water! He brings out one of his Pokeballs and releases his Golduck.]

Donaaaald! Nail him with Zen Buttbutt! [And the Golduck's forehead glows a light blue, lets out a battle cry and lunges in head first to impact with Tyanitar's skull.]

... ... ...Fool.

[ A Water-type would be logical to use against a Rock-type. However, Lambdadelta makes no move to switch or even to command evasive maneuvers. Golduck's attack connects--there is absolutely no denying it--and does...

Absolutely nothing. ]

That sort of brain-dead, goal-less valor--what good is it? Will it accomplish anything? Do you think you can protect that child with it? Do you think you can save her?

Stone Edge.

[ Tyranitar, completely unfazed, makes a swipe at the Golduck; a viciously-sharp edge of rock--Stone Edge--follows the movement, the top-tier attack looking to strike the blue duck. ]

[What should she do? Should she interfere? Should she stand back and watch? Ngh, please someone tell her what to do in this kind of situations.

She wanted to check the Pokedex to see what type Tyranitar was. She wanted to help Keiichi.]

Try using water attacks!!

[He didn't expect that! And his Golduck will take the blow and tumble over towards Keiichi before getting up to flick its nose. The attack did some damage, but it didn't want to look uncool in front of its trainer!]

--I-I know that! Use Water Gun! [Golduck will inhale and exhale a pillar of water towards the behemoth.]

... ... ...Ha, you were doomed to fail from the beginning, you know? A lover that refuses to assist you, her arms bound in terror; you, the variable that can cause a tragedy.

[ Tyranitar takes the blow; Lambdadelta returns her signature monster to its ball and lets out Gyarados of nearly as high a level--breaching 60. ]

You, Lucifer of Pride, are doomed to forever be Furniture, undeserving of love; you, Maebara Keiichi, are not able to protect that child.

[ Without needing the command of its master--because, you see, she has already told them the moves to use in advance--the Gyarados writhes and roars, summoning a tremendous rain storm. Rain Dance! ]

[Maybe Lady Lambdadelta was right... She was only Furniture... She was scared to fight in this battle.

Would thing be better in this way?

[It was her fault since the beginning. There was no use blaming this world of becoming her human. In other situation, she would have done so. Love is not something she's worth of, and it was something she should have never tried. Maybe if she let Lady Lambdadelta win this battle, things would be over... Things would return to the way they should have been.]

I'm sorry, Keiichi...

[There was a long silence coming from Lucifer.]

[Suddendly, a music starts playing... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhhPseV2XlA)]

[Lucifer quickly calls out her powerful Ampharos and orders her to strike with the most powerful Thunder to that Gyarados.]

I'm sorry for taking so long!

[And now, next to Keiichi! The place she should have been since the beginning.]

I'm Lucifer of Pride! Beatrice-sama's Furniture! I was granted the right to love by my truly and might Master and denying it would be the same as denying the kindness of my only Master! Lady Lambdadelta, here I come!

Gaap, show no mercy!

[Keiichi grits his teeth and balls up his right fist. For the love of God, would she just shut up and die--]

[He's about to finally retort back, but SUDDENLY RAIN.]

[AND SUDDENLY THUNDER.]

[And suddenly Lucifer is standing beside him. Was that the same crybaby he knew for such a long time? He stares at her for a moment...]

Edited 2011-06-04 01:38 (UTC)

--Heh. It's about time you joined in. I was getting worried for a second that you were getting cold feet.

Now... [Turning to Lambda again.] Drill a hole into those ears of yours and listen up....!! [Keiichi will take a deep breath and...]

Edited 2011-06-04 01:40 (UTC)

Do you understand who and what you're messing with? We don't give a damn if you're the so-called strongest in the cosmos! Your title isn't worth anything more than a name tag to us! You keep talking about that I'm the "variable that can cause a tragedy", but you've got things backwards! I'm the man who will create a miracle! No, I have created miracles! I've may have sinned many times, I understand that fully! But I will keep atoning for them! No matter what! When humans make a mistake, they always correct themselves and keep moving forward! That's how we roll, after all! We keep evolving after making mistakes and learning from then! We'll keep evolving like that foreveeeeeeer!!

And like I said before....!!! Destiny can be changed!!! Fate is as breakable as a thin sheet of paper!! I can easily crush that and your certainty to a bloody pulp....!!! I don't need magic or special abilities to do that! I can do anything with my ironclad determination...!!!!

You can hate me, detest me and despise my existence for all time, but I'll just shrug it all off and keep moving forward! Understand?! You're nothing more than a dust mite in the eyes of the Magician of Words! Do you understand, Lambdadeltaaaaa...?! If you've written yourself a demon's script, then I'll tear it pieces and make you eat popcorn off the floor! Do you get it!!? Do you get this super long winded prologue from the main character?! I will protect Lucifer with my chest held high!! Here and now, I'm going to be proud in knowing that I am protecting her!! That's what I swore to myself that very day and I will never go back on it...!!!

So bring it on! We're going to keep fighting for our happy ending! We're going to keep believing in our happy ending! We won't let you take that away from us! With that said, you can already consider this court adjorned!!!

[With all of that finally said and done, Keiichi returns his Golduck to switch out for his Ledian. It may have been small compared to the Gyarados, but that was made up in speed and power.] Rouge! Use Comet Punch!!

[The Ledian will nod energetically with a battle cry and fly up towards the Gyarados's face to deliver a furry of powerful punches.]

I hope for your sake you realized I wasn't talking about Lucifer when I was talking about protecting 'her'.

Go ahead, Magician of Words! Show me! Show me the power of a human that can create miracles! Show me...Show me the ability of the one that taught her of miracles.

[ The Gyarados is done for; she returns it to its ball. It is the climax now. She sends out her Tyranitar once again. With a roar, big, bellowing plumes of sand shoot from the holes on its body, eradicating the rainstorm and replacing it with a blinding and painful Sandstorm.

...Well, painful to all but Tyranitar and blinding to all but Lambdadelta, equipped in pink Go-Goggles. ]

To learn more about her--that is why I...

[ Tyranitar roars and, along with the painful rain of sharp sand, uses Dark Pulse, sending a wave of dark and powerful energy in the directions of both Ampharos and Ledian. ]

[Lucifer quickly closes her eyes from the storm, then sightly, she reached out to grab part of Keiichi's shirt to not lose where he was. Her Ampharos does her best to resist the attack. She might not be able to escape from being hurt, but oh, she's so pissed.]

Gaap! Show them your power!

[The Ampharos is now going to execute a Signal Beam, since in her mind, it's the only damage attack that is not thunder or rock based one!]

Edited 2011-06-04 02:44 (UTC)

....? [For a moment, Keiichi could've sworn that he heard Lambda say something, but he couldn't quite catch it. Still... Something feel really odd about all of this. Keiichi's resolve in what he wanted to protect was clear, but... He had a strange feeling somewhere. Did Lambdadelta have something to protect too?]

... ... ... [No... That's impossible. Almost crazy to think about even. A cruel witch like herself couldn't possibly have a heart underneath that cute exterior, couldn't she? Just... what was she...???]

[Keiichi had to stop his train of thought to close his eyes for a moment and lift up his left arm to face for reassurance. Feeling Lucifer tugging his shirt, he wrapped his right arm around Lucifer's waist to make sure that she wouldn't end up getting lost for sure. Ledian attempts to resist the attack, but it ends up flying away and clinging onto the Ampharos's tail with an "iaaaaaaan~!"]

Gyaaa....! Rouge! You know what to do! [The ladybug's eyes perk up and flies to next to Ampharos to case up a barrier around them. An safe haven where no damage will come to them - Protect!]

Working in tandem? Haaa. Look, I'm not going to say you're both incompetent, but...

[ Tyranitar takes the brunt of the Signal Beam--Super Effective! However, it still stands. ]

You need to learn the rules of the game you're playing. Sandstorm increases Miyoko's defense against special attacks like that; although you managed to--through dumb luck!--hit her weakness, it compensated. The two of you have gotten this far with nothing but willpower and determination.

...Done.

[Was it... over? Lucifer didn't move or anything just in case.]

Ampharos, don't get distracted.

[HE'S STILL CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT--]

Alright, Rouge! Now it's time for our counterattack! [Some awesome music begins to start up-- (http://youtu.be/JR0SvgLy_D8)]

[But it comes to a complete record-scratching halt when Lambda says "Done."]

.... Wait, what?

Edited 2011-06-04 03:55 (UTC)

---EHH?! H-hold on a minute?! We're really done? Just like that?

[And slumping down like the icon with his Ledian patting him on the back.]

... Uwooooh... Why didn't my battle theme start playing after I said that earth-shatteringly long speeech.....!!? It's really anti-climatic to pop up now when everything is said and doooone....!

I've seen what I've wanted to see and gotten what I've wanted to get. A thousand or more years I waited...

Ah! Right. Lucifer of--No, Luci, today I find you guilty. You are guilty of having atrociously bad taste in men. As judge, I decree your punishment will be to put up with that thing.

[ She gestures at Keiichi; she also now returns Tyranitar, who took care to stop the sandstorm. Of course, the place is an entire mess, because rain + sand everywhere = mud. ]

...The Senate is way too stuck in the past, despite not being old enough to remember any of it. They won't hear about Beatrice's Furniture eloping with a human in a kakera. It's way too stupid of a story for me to bother telling, anyway. As for a weak piece of timid Furniture daring to defy the witch all other beings fear...

Well. Consider it your step to becoming human or independent or something like that. There are things about love almost as scary as me! If you hadn't stood up to me, you would have been nothing but Furniture; if you had, you would be more than that. Get it, Luci?

[She bows sightly at her. Finally this is over.]

Thank you, Lady Lambdadelta.

[Then, he goes to cheer up her boyfriend. Life is hard for a Stake, really.]

Stand up, you idiot.

[Keiichi gets up, but he looks... troubled. Not because of his theme music getting cut off at the last minute. He's already over that now. It was about the witch standing in front of them. Lambdadelta's actions weren't bad as he thought. She did all of that to help Lucifer get some backbone? It was shocking. Completely shocking and confusing to him. Instead of getting more answers about her, his mind was now riddled with even more questions. Keiichi was thankful that she was treating Lucifer better, but still...]

... ... ... [... His own battle with her wasn't over yet, that much he knew.] ... Just... who are you, really...?

A cute little witch, of course~☆!

[ Don't be too naive, Keiichi. That was a nice secondary result--what she wanted to do, wants to do, and will be doing is testing you, the variable that started the snowball effect that lead to Bernkastel winning.

Her kindness was out of convenience, nothing more. ]

...Ah, but defy me again under any other condition and you'll be tossed in a scrap heap back in America, got it, Luci?

Understood, Lady Lambdadelta.

[She's just going to stay close to Keiichi now. Man, this went better than expected.]
