Chapter 112

After saying yes to the Dungeon Raid, the girls found themselves in a hallway. Looking around, they saw only one door at the very end. Perl looked back at the others and smiled.

“Guess we go this way,” she said before beginning to skip toward the door. Scoots and Chara chuckled at that while the others sweat dropped.

“So what should we expect?” Diamond asked switching to her combat attire.

“This is the first dungeon raid we’ve been on,” Chara admitted. “So we don’t know for sure.”

“I just hope it’s not like the last event dungeon we got sucked into,” Scoots shivered, remembering Baldi.

“You mean the one you accidentally joined?” Chara joked. Scoots stuck her tongue out.

Approaching the door, they saw a heart with a skull in the center of it.

“Does this mean what I think it does?” Perl asked. Chara thought for a moment and compared it to logos she’s seen in the past.

“If it is, I think I know what this dungeon raid will be like.”

“What?” Sweetie asked.

“This looks like the logo of a fighting game called Skullgirls,” Perl said getting giddy. “I think we have to fight some of the cast!”

“How dangerous are they?” Apple Bloom asked. Ignoring them, Chara and Perl started to strategize.

“There are 10 females in the cast so if the girls night out thing is what we believe…”

“Would Double count?”

“If she does we could take her together with clones holding her off.”

The others were just watching the two Gamers, waiting for their attention.

“So if Double isn’t there we will each take two,” Chara said. “I can take Peacock and Valentine.”

“And I could fight Fillia and Squigly,” Perl said, getting a slightly perverted look on her face. Chara smacked her upside the head.

“One’s a Zombie!”

“A cute zombie!”

“What the hell are you two talking about!?” Scootaloo shouted, tired of being left out. Chara and Perl turned to them and realized they were the only ones there who played the game.

“Oh...um…” Perl blushed and Chara took the lead.

“Skullgirls has a lot of fanservice in it. We were trying to decide who would be best to fight who.”

“And if we are right in who’s in there…” Perl said fishing out her phone and pulling up pictures of the characters. “These will be the best targets for you guys.”

The girls studied the pictures and who they each would be fighting.

“Diamond’s enhanced strength for Cerebella,” Perl said. “And Scootaloo’s speed for Ms. Fortune.”

“Parasoul vs Silver I think would be best,” Chara said. “And I think Sweetie could easily use magic to handle Eliza…”

“So who does that leave me with?” Apple Bloom asked. Chara and Perl looked at each other nervously.

“You have Painwheel,” Chara said. “You need to keep your distance from her. Between your air shoes and BOB we figured you’d be best for that.”

“In other words she’s dangerous up close,” Bloom said. She pulled out two pistols this time while equipping her Ashe costume. One was a silvery gray and the other was a dark black metal. Perl smirked.

“Alucard’s Casull and Jackal. Probably a good idea for this fight to use them. Now ladies! You ready?”

The girls all equipped their battle gear and weapons, nodding. With smiles, Perl and Chara turned and kicked the door down. Charging in, they found themselves on a city street surrounded by tall buildings with neon lights decorating them. The streets of New Meridian. Turning around to take in their surroundings, the group saw the doorway behind them vanished.

“So where are-?” Silver asked when Chara and Perl’s danger sense went off.

“Scatter!” they shouted. The group listened and spread out immediately as a huge bomb that looked like an 8-Ball with arms and legs. It scratched its head for a second before blowing up.

“Aw man,” a voice said. Perl’s group looked up and saw a group of nine girls standing on a nearby rooftop. One wore a burgundy dress and top hat, had silver arms with eyes on them, and was smoking a cigar. “I thought Mr. Big Bomb would be able to get you.”

“It looks like we have to do this the hard way,” a blue haired lady in a nurse’s outfit said. Her breasts were almost completely bursting out of her shirt.

“We couldn’t agree more,” Chara said and she sent a huge gust of air toward the two who spoke. They flew back as Chara flew after them. The other girls turned to attack the female Gamer, but the other members of the Gamer group went into action.

A girl with purple hair and skin as well as one with black hair that seemed to have teeth (the hair, not the girl) found themselves grabbed by a swarm of microbots and flung in the opposite direction. A girl with a mask stitched onto her face and a tail with a four pronged blade attached at the end heard a gunshot impact the wall near her feet and she locked her eyes on Apple Bloom’s retreating form. A primal roar escaped Painwheel’s throat as she jumped from roof to roof after the gunner.

A tanned skinned Egyptian woman with many gold adornments and a golden staff smiled as the segmented blade of Sweetie’s sword wrapped around her and pulled her after the pink and lavender haired girl. A cat girl grinned at all the potential targets when she saw a swirl of red and black that was Scootaloo.

“Speedy…” Ms. Fortune said as she ran after her prey. A girl in orange locked eyes with Diamond who rose up on a swarm of Imps. She jerked her thumb toward another building and the ARMS that grew from her hat lifted her off the ground and flung her that direction.

“Good luck Silver,” Diamond said and flew after Cerebella. Silver nodded and watched as the redheaded Parasoul floated down toward her.

“Let us begin,” Parasoul said and thrust her umbrella forward. Silver was surprised when a practical swarm of men in uniform rode in on motorcycles. Thinking fast, with a wave of her staff, she cast her favorite spell.

“Dark Ecriture: Wings!” She rose into the air above the attacked and held out her staff. With another wave of her staff she conjured a barrier around the group. Parasoul was forced to watch as the bikes her men were riding suddenly exploded. The barrier immediately broke but it was just enough.

All motor vehicles in this barrier will explode

Silver smirked at her success when she felt a blow to her back, shattering her wings and knocking her to the ground. Pulling herself up, Silver unsheathed Myrtenaster from the staff and held the rapier to block the next blow. She raised her staff up and used it for one last barrier.

All elemental damage within this barrier is doubled

Dismissing the staff she pushed back with her rapier. As Parasoul stumbled, Silver swung her blade and an icicle shot toward her opponent. Parasoul smashed it with her umbrella but the shards still impacted her. Silver didn’t waste the chance and stabbed Myrtenaster into the ground. A spire of earth shot into Parasoul’s back just as Silver used Solid Script to form a wall in front of her with the word.

Just as Silver was about to stab her blade through the word wall, she heard movement to the side. Looking over, she saw one of Parasoul’s men on the ground, lifting up a tommy gun. Her eyes went wide as she waved her sword in just enough time to form a wall of ice. The bullets impacted and broke the ice just as the man died. Silver hissed as she felt her barrier work against her, the shards biting into her.

‘Need to specify my damage from now on,’ she thought. Parasoul had recovered and rapier clashed with umbrella as Silver put her fencing skills to use.

“You’re not bad,” Parasoul said. “Wish we had you when the dead walked among us.”

“You’re pretty good yourself,” Silver said. “Though you seem to care little for your men!”

“They are protecting their princess,” she said. Silver wasn’t expecting that and was open to the bladed tip of the umbrella slicing into her side. Crying out in pain, Silver jumped back and rapidly waved Myrtenaster. Wave after wave of different elements shot toward Parasoul. She opened her umbrella to try and block but a quick wave of fire toward her exposed legs broke her guard, letting the other elements tear into her.

Parasoul felt different parts of her with frostbite and third degree burns. She lay on the ground struggling to get up when Silver walked up, blade at her throat. Parasoul sighed and nodded.

“Since you defeated me,” Parasoul said. “I find it only fitting that you inherit my weapon. Krieg is a living item. Take care of him.”

Silver nodded as she saw Parasoul smile, succumbing to her wounds. The body dissolved just like any other dungeon enemy, and Silver picked up the umbrella. An eye in the body that she didn’t notice before blinked.

“Krieg huh?” She sense a bit of joy at hearing his name from the weapon. “I think you will be an excellent partner.”

Diamond

The succubus smiled and nodded as she looked at the room Cerebella led her to. It was an elegant area with a white and black tiled floor. In the middle was a white carpet with gold trim. Marble columns led up to a carved ceiling while red walls were adorned with pictures of mobsters. The back wall was entirely a glass window looking out on the city.

“Not a bad place,” Diamond said. Cerebella smirked.

“Yeah. Medici Tower is pretty sweet. But we didn’t come here to admire the scenery.”

Diamond smiled and, in her Maria Naruse battle gear, she raised her ax.

The strong arms extending from Cerebella’s hat flung her at Diamond. She thrust her feet down toward the succubus only to find two Imps take the blow for their master. Diamond swung her ax, aiming to cleave the other girl in two, but the blade was caught by one of the large arms.

The succubus quickly found herself flying through the air as Cerebella’s hat clapped and crushed the two Imps between its palms. Diamond would’ve hit a column if her Imps didn’t for a cushion for her. Cerebella ran at her as she was regaining her bearings and she just reacted in time to duck another strong arm. Too bad she forgot that her opponent had her own fists.

A smaller but still strong fist caught her in the jaw and Diamond could taste a small amount of blood. Cerebella grinned and her hat smacked the Imps with one hand and grabbed Diamonds legs with another. As the hat held her up, Cerebella smacked Diamond in the face before her hat threw her across the room.

“Pathetic,” Cerebella said. “You don’t stand a chance against Vice-Versa and I. My living weapon is the best!” She gave her hat a pat on the ‘Shoulder’ and smiled.

Diamond’s eyes lit up at that. Living weapon… sentience...

Diamond could probably overpower the girl with her enhanced strength and her summons could easily help with that. If she dismissed her ax and went at it with her fists she could easily dodge the attacks and deliver some serious blows.

But now...she had a more fun way to incapacitate this girl. She closed her eyes and concentrated on her magic.

“Accepting defeat?” Cerebella asked with a grin. Diamond’s eyes shot open and a pair of smoke clouds formed in front of her. One was the French word Luxure (Lust), and the other was the French word Sensible (Sensitive). The clouds shot toward Cerebella and she covered her mouth, thinking that they were poison. When they seemed to pass harmlessly by, she laughed. “Foolish girl.”

Just as she was about to charge at Diamond again, she felt something stir in her connection to Vice-Versa.

“What is it boy-AH!”

One of Vice-Versa’s large hands grabbed her dress and ripped it clean off, leaving her only wearing a skimpy white thong.

“What the hell!” Cerebella shrieked. She tried to throw Vice-Versa off but the one hand grabbed her around the stomach and pinned her arms to her side. “Wha! What did you do to my-AH!”

Her scream turned to a moan as her weapon’s other hand smacked her hard on the ass. Her whole body shook and her 32 Ds bounced. Diamond laughed.

“I’m a succubus darling. While I’m not strong enough to overpower anyone with my spells, I can dominate the very weak minded. And while your weapon may have sentience, it is very minor. Easy to overpower.”

Cerebella couldn’t respond as her ass was turning red. Diamond casually walked up, her axe in hand as Cerebella wriggled in ecstasy. Before either her or Vice-Versa realized what was happening, the axe was buried in the back of the girl’s head.

The succubus leaned on her ax as she sucked a health lollipop. Cerebella’s body dissolved and Vice-Versa was left, the arms shrunk into the hat now. Diamond picked it up thoughtfully.

“Considering she fights with her fist, Applejack might like this bad boy.” A grin split her face. “And I’m sure Spike would love to see an example of what just happened. I wonder what he is doing now?”

Sweet Apple Acres

“You sure know how to show a girl a good time,” Applejack said as Spike walked her home.

“You’re a beautiful princess and I want to treat you as such,” Spike said and Applejack snorted.

“Sugarcube do I seem like a princess to you? I believe you’re thinking of Rarity.” Spike laughed and was about to leave when Applejack grabbed his arm. “Though if I was a princess, wouldn’t the dragon kidnap me and drag me to his lair to be his treasure?”

Spike saw the look in her eyes and he looked questioningly at the house. She grinned.

“Granny Smith had Big Mac take her to Appleloosa for the annual Apple Family Bingo game.” She leaned in close. “Now, I think Twilight and Sunset put it best. I want to be a dragon rider~”
