Elfen High 2: Gotterdammerung

[Olthar]

Ignoring the alarms, Sari-chan looked down at the bunny girl she had rescued. She put out her hand and smiled warmly.

"Hi there! I'm Sarina, but you can call me Sari-chan! Everyone does!" she responded in a sweet, innocent tone.

[Individuality-ness]

Divia's eyes widened. This was new information to her.

"Raphael was engaged and had... 'affairs'? And... 'mistresses'? Does that mean that he worked with a lot of women as he helped govern Heavensgate and make sure that it's as perfect as it can be, despite being busy with other things?"

But then she was silenced as the projector slid down and a video began playing. It so happened to be that this was the video of Eric and his lover fucking with Crowley in the locker room on the first day of term.

Divia... well, let's just say that she was confused to what exactly they were doing to one another.

And yes, he had rattlesnakes and hot sauce.

As Eris grabbed a handful of popcorn, she nodded. "Indeed. The women assisted him in governing Heavensgate through the actions that we are watching at this very moment...but not with three males...and with vaginas. Anyway, Raphael was definitely motivated through these acts. "

And then the alarms blasted. She grabbed Divia by her arm and screamed, "TO THE BATCAVE!" before sprinting off, dragging Divia with her.

"Uh, okay!" Divia shouted as she was dragged to who knows where. She was still confused to what Eris was talking about though.

"What's this 'batcave'?"

Ignoring the alarms, Sari-chan looked down at the bunny girl she had rescued. She put out her hand and smiled warmly.

"Hi there! I'm Sarina, but you can call me Sari-chan! Everyone does!" she responded in a sweet, innocent tone.

"Hi Sari-chan. I'm Alison," Alison replied back, still bouncing. "You look like a kitty. Please don't eat me!"

[Mavorpen]

Ignoring the alarms, Sari-chan looked down at the bunny girl she had rescued. She put out her hand and smiled warmly.

"Hi there! I'm Sarina, but you can call me Sari-chan! Everyone does!" she responded in a sweet, innocent tone.

Just then, Eris, without moving her feet at all, slid out of the shadows as though she was standing on a conveyor belt. She hissed "Lesbian seeeeexxx..." before sliding back into the shadows and disappearing.

[Rupudska]

Yuzuki suddenly sat down, holding a hand to her head. "I sense a great disturbance in the force... as if the combined energies of a trillion hyper Japanese schoolgirls had just been rereleased into the world..."

"I think Sarina is back. I should go back to the school before she sets something off."

[Nationstatelandsville]

Ignoring the alarms, Sari-chan looked down at the bunny girl she had rescued. She put out her hand and smiled warmly.

"Hi there! I'm Sarina, but you can call me Sari-chan! Everyone does!" she responded in a sweet, innocent tone.

"Hi Sari-chan. I'm Alison," Alison replied back, still bouncing. "You look like a kitty. Please don't eat me!"

The alarms suddenly stopped. They were quickly replaced by 1970's porn music. A mysteriously red-tinted camera zoomed in on the girls.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH."

[Mavorpen]

"Uh, okay!" Divia shouted as she was dragged to who knows where. She was still confused to what Eris was talking about though.

"What's this 'batcave'?"

Without turning to Divia or stopping, she simply stated, "The Batcave is a land inhabited by magical talking ponies and other sapient animals. It is a kingdom co-ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Either that or I'm totally insane and that's a completely different place." After a pause, she said, "Nah, it's the former. Definitely the former."

They finally reached Eris' room, and she kicked down the door. The room was surprisingly...normal. Until she pressed a button that was hidden behind a painting. Suddenly holes opened up in the floor, and poles ascended that would allow them to slide down.

Divia looked at the poles and then looked at Eris.

"What am I supposed to do with these poles?"

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

And then James evaporated in a puff of plotholes. Again.

Amazing how history repeats itself, isn't it? First, I was the villain for wanting to tell my story and force it on you guys. Now I'm the villain for trying to avert someone else from doing the same. Also interesting that the roles would be so readily reversed. First, it was Jackie arguing with me. Now, it's me arguing with Jackie. Fate just seems to enjoy that sort of thing, doesn't it? You know what they say about the more things change...

Oh well. It is quite unfortunate that James Callahan must once again disappear from Elfen High, his message and warnings of danger ignored by the masses. Will Elfen High survive? Will it continue, stronger than ever? Maybe. Hopefully. But that, my "friends", is now entirely up to you. Good luck.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Crowley looked at Az. He opened his mouth to try and explain- and shut it. "Rick, hold off on the device-" he said in a tired voice.

Sanchez had less restraints, waving at the guards to hurry it up- but the two former Thule soldiers popped in and interrupted that train of thought. He listened to them, and then Shung asked a question. "How can we trust you?" he asked the duo.

"Because I'm Anton's cousin," Eraldo replied. "Then again, you're some bureaucratic cunt, so I'm not sure I can tru-"

Lieutenant Fischer silenced his new partner, and sighed. "Look, we want to help in anyway we can. That Angel-" he pointed to Aziraphale "- convinced me to rebel, along with two very friendly ice trolls. And he's right. I don't want any part of the Thule. They're bastards. Especially the Colonel."

Eraldo sighed. "Look," he continued, "I read the Colonel's papers. Piece of shit left them behind, and they have some information you might find useful, General Wang Wong Ching Chong."

Shung glared at Eraldo. "I think the memory device is better suited on them." he said.

"I rather agree." Sanchez nodded. "In any case, Eraldo, Fischer? If you're truly on our side, sit down and allow us to test you."

[Mavorpen]

They finally reached Eris' room, and she kicked down the door. The room was surprisingly...normal. Until she pressed a button that was hidden behind a painting. Suddenly holes opened up in the floor, and poles ascended that would allow them to slide down.

Divia looked at the poles and then looked at Eris.

"What am I supposed to do with these poles?"

Eris turned to her and screamed, "SHOVE THEM INTO YOUR-" before stopping. She then calmly stated with a smile, "Simply slide down them, darling. We must hurry to the Batcave!" With that, she jumped into the hole, sliding gracefully down it until she reached the bottom."

[Individuality-ness]

Eris turned to her and screamed, "SHOVE THEM INTO YOUR-" before stopping. She then calmly stated with a smile, "Simply slide down them, darling. We must hurry to the Batcave!" With that, she jumped into the hole, sliding gracefully down it until she reached the bottom."

"Uh, okay!"

Divia grabbed one of the poles. She didn't dare make the leap for a few moments -- she was too terrified. What if the friction burned her hands? What if she let go? What is at the bottom?

She closed her eyes and walked into the hole, hands on the pole.

And she screamed the entire way down.

[Olthar]

"Eat you?" Sari-chan asked, "Why would I eat you, Ali-chan? I don't eat people, silly."

Giggling, the girl hugged Alison, ignoring everything else that was going on. It was just normal Elfen High stuff to her now. After several moments, she let go and stepped back a bit

"Anyways, how's your day been?" she asked joyfully and casually, as if she didn't just fly a plane into the school.

[Nude East Ireland]

"Because I'm Anton's cousin," Eraldo replied. "Then again, you're some bureaucratic cunt, so I'm not sure I can tru-"

Lieutenant Fischer silenced his new partner, and sighed. "Look, we want to help in anyway we can. That Angel-" he pointed to Aziraphale "- convinced me to rebel, along with two very friendly ice trolls. And he's right. I don't want any part of the Thule. They're bastards. Especially the Colonel."

Shung glared at Eraldo. "I think the memory device is better suited on them." he said.

"I rather agree." Sanchez nodded. "In any case, Eraldo, Fischer? If you're truly on our side, sit down and allow us to test you."

"Of course," Fischer replied.

Eraldo wasn't so trustworthy of the shadowy military organization. He shook his head. "Fuck that, I'm a Crowley. I've got more drugs in me than fucking Charlie Sheen. I'll give you this information and then leave with Lieutenant here to fight more Nazi wizards across the world." He reached into his Hawaiian shirt and pulled out a file. He opened it and began to read.

"Long ago, there was a technologically advanced city. The most advanced in the world, as a matter of fact. But then its benefactor died, and the city fell into ruin. Eventually, everybody left because the city couldn't sustain itself anymore - the city's economy was based entirely on the fortune of their benefactor. This city is called Dover. It's benefactor? An old Elfen High student named Damien Seward. Dover is where the Seward family lived for over a century, and its where they built the tallest manmade structure to date, Seward Tower. I guess nobody ever thought to destroy it or claim it, because that futuristic city is where the Thule's Fuhrer resides, where I bet Anton is, and where we can set up an ambush to stop their army before it attacks us."

Crowley didn't listen to this part. "Wait, you're also a Crowley?" He looked around. "Holy fucking shit, how many fucking Crowleys are there? I thought they were all dead after the real Al Crowley died, then Anton shows up, then he breeds and now this asshole?" he pointed at Eraldo. "What? Is Sanchez a fucking Crowley now? Am I the only bloody Crowley who isn't actually related to the real Aleister Crowley?"

[Mavorpen]

"Uh, okay!"

Divia grabbed one of the poles. She didn't dare make the leap for a few moments -- she was too terrified. What if the friction burned her hands? What if she let go? What is at the bottom?

She closed her eyes and walked into the hole, hands on the pole.

And she screamed the entire way down.

Once they reached the bottom, they would find an exact replica of the Batcave. Why? Who fucking knows, and who gives a shit? She then grabbed Divia's arm and dragged her to the right side of the cave, where there were several suits. Some were of batman, some were of batgirl. She chose the correct one and pressed a button, opening the tube. It was a catwoman suit. Turning to Divia, she stated, "Put this on, please."

[Nude East Ireland]

"Of course," Fischer replied.

Eraldo wasn't so trustworthy of the shadowy military organization. He shook his head. "Fuck that, I'm a Crowley. I've got more drugs in me than fucking Charlie Sheen.

"Listen buddy, I don't have time for this Ancestry.com bullshit you're trying to figure out. Just let me help Anton or send me back to Argentina. I've got things to snort and women to fuck, and I'll go berserk if somebody gets in the way of that. I don't know who you are, or who this Sanchez is, or who half you people are. Maybe it's because I've been in a drug-fueled daze for the past decade, but that's beside the point."

[Astrolinium]

Caspian gulped as he crawled forward. He thought, Well, here goes everything. Or nothing. Perhaps both.

He tried to cock the gun, nearly dropping it, and suddenly discovered he didn't actually know how to do that. So it took him a good couple of seconds to figure that out. These were a very tense couple of seconds, as he was on a moving train and there were terrorists shooting at him. He was lucky that he hadn't yet gotten hit. But eventually, he figured out how to cock it, which produced a rather satisfying click.

He aimed, and pulled the trigger, and not a damned thing happened. "Fuck!" he shouted.

The safety was on. It took him several more tense seconds to figure out that as well, during which time he was again fortunate enough not to actually get hit by a bullet or fall of the train or be scooped up by a passing giant bird of prey - this was 2030 and he was in a simulated version of India; he had no goddamn clue what kind of fauna might exist here.

Finally, he managed to point the gun in the vague direction of one of the terrorists, and pulled the trigger, which produced a very satisfying and very loud bang. He dropped the gun in surprise, and it began to slide off the roof of the train car. Caspian went scrambling after it and then found that he too had begun to slip.

[Individuality-ness]

"Eat you?" Sari-chan asked, "Why would I eat you, Ali-chan? I don't eat people, silly."

Giggling, the girl hugged Alison, ignoring everything else that was going on. It was just normal Elfen High stuff to her now. After several moments, she let go and stepped back a bit

"Anyways, how's your day been?" she asked joyfully and casually, as if she didn't just fly a plane into the school.

Alison had to think about it for a moment. Crazy Uncle Frank, bears, libraries, naked teachers, bunnies, bunny ears... she wriggled her ears and put her hands up to her necklace again, in thought.

"It was... interesting. How was yours?"

[Olthar]

"It was amazing!" Sari-chan exclaimed, "So, first I wake up, and the radio is playing my favorite song! It was a great way to start the day! Then, I go outside and walk down to the farmer's market to get some ingredients to make my breakfast, and there are these awesome brown apples that the man was just going to throw out, so he let me buy them for half off! What a great deal! Then, after breakfast, I head off to work at the ice rink, and they told me that in honor of my many years as a loyal employee, they've saved up enough money to buy me a present! Awesome! So, they hand me a box and inside of it are plane tickets to some place called "Slybeera" or something, and they tell me that they're letting me take an extra-long vacation this year. So, I get on the plane, and it's all really cool, but I think the plane driver got lost or something because when I got off, it was all cold and icy out. I tried to tell him that I was supposed to go to Slybeera, but he didn't know what I was talking about. So, I decided to get there myself and got myself a train that I rode around for a while until I was in this desert place where there were all these people wearing pillow cases on their heads. It was really funny, but they didn't know where Slybeera was, either, so I didn't know where to go. Then I remembered that Crowley-sensei knows pretty much everything, so I got on a boat and went around the water for a while until it crashed, so I got a plane and now here I am! By the way, you don't happen to know where Crowley-sensei is, do you?"

[Individuality-ness]

"Uh, okay!"

Divia grabbed one of the poles. She didn't dare make the leap for a few moments -- she was too terrified. What if the friction burned her hands? What if she let go? What is at the bottom?

She chose the correct one and pressed a button, opening the tube. It was a catwoman suit. Turning to Divia, she stated, "Put this on, please."

Divia looked at the suit. It was a tight black dominatrix suit, albeit with cat ears on the top.

She looked at Eris. "May I have a room to dress in, so that I may fulfill your command?"

By the way, you don't happen to know where Crowley-sensei is, do you?"

"Crowley-sensei?" Alison asked Sari-chan. "I hear that there was something about an adventure? I dunno. What's Slybeeria?"

She was jumping higher and higher now. Man, this hyperactivity just doesn't stop, does it?

[Olthar]

"Yeah, Crowley-sensei. I need to ask him where Slybeera is," Sari-chan answered, following Alison's bouncing with her eyes.

After a bit of silence the cat girl began bouncing as well, keeping perfectly in time with the bunny. As they both jumped up and down, Sari-chan started giggling before responding to the rest of Alison's question.

"Slybeera is supposed to be a beautiful tropical paradise with chocolate nuts and hula hoops and trees made of hands. I guess the hand trees are kind of weird, but the rest sounds pretty nice. And the other people at the ice rink bought me plane tickets there for a vacation, so I really want to go."

[Constaniana]

Sir Nilark looked at the terrorists on the top of train as they opened fire on him with their assault rifles. The attack was completely futile of course, as the few bullets that were on-target merely pinged off his skin. He pointed a finger at one of the terrorists shooting at their group and fired a narrow radiant blast through the terrorist's chest, aiming specifically for the heart. The knight swiftly repeated the attack on the other terrorists still standing with a ruthless accuracy and precision he normally didn't have.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Speaking directly to Jojo who was deeper into the room while the robot at the door stood silent, S.A.M.M.E. informed him of the situation.

"Jojo, sir," she said quietly, "Someone has found out about Lena."

"What!?" he said angrily, shooting up out of his chair.

Immediately, he ran through the room and approached the door, shoving the robot away. The young inventor glared daggers at Daisuke before grabbing the older man's shoulders and pulling his face close.

"You are not to say anything about this to anyone," he said, his voice ice cold, "The family must not find out about it."

Daisuke stared back. "You. Brought. Back. The. Dead." he said, his voice even colder. "Do you have even the remotest idea what you've done? Science needs ethics! It needs rules, it has limits and standards!" he pointed at Lena. "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE?"

[Olthar]

"I brought back my sister because she means more to me than any 'rules' or 'ethics!'" Jojo responded, fuming, "I don't expect you to understand, and I really don't care what you think. This was important to me, and I have already paid the price. Lena is a mere shadow of who she used to be. I tried my best, but she's not even in there anymore. I tried to bring her back, but all I did was create a mindless automaton! I don't need to explain myself to anyone, and I certainly don't need you preaching at me! Now, how about you just leave and forget everything you found out. I respect you as a rival and an equal, Daisuke, and I'd hate for that to change."

Jojo glared at the older man while beckoning Lena to come into the room. Once the girl had done so, he slammed the door shut and walked away back to his desk. He sat down and began working on some sort of mechanical device before picking it up and throwing it against the wall while letting out a massive scream of agony. He collapsed back down onto his desk, defeated, while Lena simply stood at the door, staring at him. S.A.M.M.E. was completely silent.

[Astrolinium]

Something moved deep inside Elfen High's computers. Something based in code, something based in 1's and 0's. The ultimate in cloud computing:

The
Cloud-based
Artificial
Intelligence
Network.

Deep in the school, a computer screen blinked into life. A green line, appeared on the screen, and it began to move up and down as sound issued forth.

"I am C.A.I.N. Elfen High successfully interfaced."

All other AIs who currently had functional bits of themselves in the school would likely have immediately become aware of the new AI's presence - even if they neither cared nor were free to devote energy towards caring. However, as soon as it was there... it was gone. Zipped off to another part of the world via the internet, most likely.
