Chapter 3

The moment they stepped inside the double dungeon, Y/N knew they had messed up.

Because inside?

It was a monster party.

And not the fun kind with drinks and music—no, this was the Welcome to Hell, Prepare to Die kind.

The room was massive, its walls lined with eerie glowing runes. Dozens of high-tier monsters lurked in the shadows, their eyes gleaming with murderous intent. Hulking armored beasts, grotesque abominations with too many limbs, and even some terrifying flying creatures that looked straight out of her worst nightmares.

"Uh, Jinwoo?" Y/N whispered, inching closer to him.

Jinwoo didn’t respond. He was already in battle mode. His expression turned serious, and in an instant, he moved.

And Y/N… lost her mind.

Because what the—watching Sung Jinwoo fight in real life was something else.

The way he dodged! Smooth. Effortless. Like a damn ghost slipping through attacks.

The way his muscles flexed! Perfect 10. Chef’s kiss. God took his time sculpting this man.

Y/N was in awe. "Oh my god," she whispered to herself, her eyes sparkling. "He’s so hot."

Meanwhile, Jinwoo was actually struggling.

These monsters weren’t your average dungeon mobs. They were fast and relentless, attacking from all directions. Even with his agility, he was taking a few hits. His health was dropping fast.

If he didn’t focus, he was going to die.

And yet, behind him, all he could hear was—

"OMG. OMG. OMG. THAT WAS SO COOL."

Jinwoo barely dodged a massive claw swipe. "Y/N. Shut up."

But Y/N was gone. She had entered full fangirl mode.

Then it happened.

The moment that broke her.

Jinwoo lifted his hand and summoned Igris.

Y/N screamed.

"OH MY GOD, IT’S IGRIS!"

Jinwoo flinched. "What the hell—"

"LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT MY BOY!" Y/N practically vibrated in place, her hands clutched to her chest like she was witnessing the birth of a deity. "Igris! My favorite! My beloved! You’re even cooler in real life!"

Igris, ever the silent and loyal knight, simply nodded before leaping into battle.

Jinwoo had no time to process whatever the hell Y/N was going through because he needed more backup. So, without hesitation—

He summoned Beru.

And that’s when Y/N completely lost it.

Her breath hitched. Her eyes widened. Her whole body froze.

And then—

"BABYYYYYYYYY!!"

Jinwoo almost dropped his dagger.

Beru turned his massive, intimidating, insectoid head toward Y/N, clicking his mandibles. "Kieeehh?"

"LOOK AT HIM! SO CUTE!" Y/N was now jumping in place, hands on her cheeks. "Beru! My little scrunkly! My scary, murdery, precious bug son!"

Beru tilted his head. "...Master. Shall I eliminate the noisy female?"

"NO!" Y/N wailed. "Beru, sweetie, don’t listen to him! I love you just the way you are!"

Jinwoo, who was literally fighting for his life, turned to glare at her. "Y/N, CAN YOU FREAKING FOCUS?!"

"I AM focusing! Focusing on how CUTE Beru is!" Y/N clasped her hands together, eyes twinkling. "Beru, can I hug you?"

Jinwoo and Beru both froze.

Beru blinked his glowing blue eyes. "...Master?"

"No." Jinwoo deadpanned.

"Just a little hug—"

"NO."

Before Y/N could protest, a massive monster lunged straight for her.

Jinwoo’s eyes widened. "Y/N, MOVE—"

But before he could react, Beru did.

With a terrifying screech, the giant ant obliterated the monster in a flash.

Y/N?

She swooned.

"HE PROTECTED ME. HE REALLY LOVES ME."

Jinwoo was done.

The battlefield was absolute chaos—just as expected from a double dungeon.

Jinwoo, despite being one of the strongest hunters in existence, was actually struggling. These monsters were not playing around. They were relentless, attacking in waves, their movements coordinated like an army.

Jinwoo narrowed his eyes. Time to stop holding back.

With a flick of his wrist—

He summoned more shadows.

One by one, his dark soldiers emerged from the ground, filling the massive chamber like an ominous black tide. Knights, assassins, behemoth-like creatures—all under his command, ready for war.

And Y/N?

She gasped so loudly she nearly choked.

Her hands clenched into fists. Her legs trembled. Her whole body shook with excitement.

And then—

"HOLY CRAP, THE EFFECT IS STUNNING!"

Jinwoo flinched mid-swing.

"THIS IS THE BEST ANIMATION I’VE EVER SEEN! 100/10! PERFECT EXECUTION! STUDIO MAAAPA, WHO?!"

The shadows remained stoic.

The monsters remained bloodthirsty.

And Jinwoo?

He sighed deeply.

Meanwhile, the actual monsters—who were supposed to be the scariest creatures in this room—had finally had enough.

They all turned their heads toward the real threat.

The screaming woman.

One particularly nasty, high-tier monster let out a guttural roar, eyes locking onto Y/N. It was massive, spiked, and clearly done with her fangirling.

It charged straight at her.

Beru instantly blocked the attack.

"Kieeeehhh!" Beru shrieked, slashing at the beast with his deadly claws.

Y/N clutched her chest. "OH MY GOD, MY BABY PROTECTING ME AGAIN! KYAAAAAAHHHH!"

Jinwoo pinched the bridge of his nose. "Y/N, can you—"

But before he could finish his sentence, another monster had decided that enough was enough.

This one was even faster. And unlike the others, it managed to slip past Beru and Igris, charging straight for Y/N from behind.

Jinwoo’s eyes widened. Shit, she’s gonna die.

Y/N turned around—

Saw death itself coming at her—

And screamed like a cockroach was flying at her face.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH—!"

Panicking, she flailed her arms wildly and swung her fist aimlessly—

And then—

BOOM.

The monster went flying across the room, slamming into the stone wall so hard that the entire dungeon shook.

Silence.

The battle paused.

Every single shadow, monster, and even Jinwoo himself just… stared.

Even Beru looked confused, tilting his giant ant head. "Kiehh?"

Y/N, still trembling from adrenaline, didn’t even realize what had just happened. She squeezed her eyes shut and yelled—

"THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME!"

Jinwoo blinked. "…Who is she talking to?"

Y/N, on the verge of tears, dramatically turned to Beru.

"My sweet baby angel, you saved me again! I knew I could count on you! I LOVE YOU!"

Beru, who was literally occupied fighting another monster, simply clicked his mandibles in confusion. "…Master?"

Jinwoo, arms still mid-swing, slowly pointed at the monster-shaped crater in the wall.

"…Y/N. You did that."

Y/N frowned. "Huh?"

"You punched that monster so hard it flew across the room."

Y/N turned back, finally taking in the scene.

She blinked.

Then looked down at her own fist.

Then back at the monster.

Then back at her fist.

Then at Jinwoo.

Then back at Beru.

Then—

"HOLY SH—"

Y/N was still processing what had just happened.

Her brain was not computing.

She. Punched. A monster. Into. A wall.

Her. A potato of a human being with zero combat experience.

"Holy crap… am I… OP?!"

Before she could fully spiral into a power fantasy, another high-tier monster—clearly not learning from its fallen comrade—decided to charge straight at her.

Jinwoo saw it immediately.

"Y/N, MOVE!"

But Y/N?

Nope.

She didn’t move.

She instead went full anime protagonist, raising her fists in the worst attempt at a fighting stance Jinwoo had ever seen.

She started shadow boxing—badly.

"Alright, you ugly beast! You want a piece of me?! COME AT ME, BRO!"

Jinwoo, mid-swing against another monster, literally stopped fighting just to pinch the bridge of his nose.

"This woman is actually going to kill me before the dungeon does."

The monster, confused but still very much murderous, lunged.

Y/N—still thinking she’s in some kind of sports anime—threw a random punch in its direction.

Jinwoo’s soul left his body.

This is it. He thought. She’s dead.

And then—

BOOM.

The monster collapsed mid-air, knocked back like it had been hit by a truck.

Jinwoo froze.

His shadows froze.

Even the other monsters stopped mid-attack, staring in horror.

Y/N?

She blinked.

She looked at her own fist.

Then at the monster, now twitching in a heap on the ground.

Then back at her fist.

Then at Jinwoo.

Then back at the monster.

Then—

Suddenly, her expression morphed into All Might’s iconic grin as she struck a heroic pose, clenching her fist.

“Mo daijoubu! Naze tte? Watashi ga kita!” (It's fine! Why? I am here!)

Jinwoo was going to have an aneurysm.

"Oh my god, you’re an idiot."

Y/N, now completely delusional, started bouncing on her feet like a boxer. "Yo, Jinwoo! Did you see that?! I’m basically a Hunter now! S-rank material, baby! Maybe even National Level—"

Jinwoo grabbed her by the collar.

"YOU. ARE. NOT. A. HUNTER."

"But—"

"SHUT UP AND STAY BEHIND ME BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY DIE!"

Meanwhile, the monsters and Jinwoo’s shadows were just standing there, awkwardly watching their master lose his mind over this chaotic gremlin of a woman.

Beru tilted his head. "Master… the female seems to have immense hidden power. Shall we train her?"

Jinwoo’s eye twitched. "Beru, I swear to God—"

But before Jinwoo could fully stress himself into an early grave, his shadows finally turned the tide of battle.

One by one, the monsters started falling.

With their full strength unleashed, Igris, Beru, and the rest of the shadow army began absolutely annihilating the enemies.

Jinwoo sighed in relief.

"Finally. We can wrap this up."

Now, the only thing left to do?

Make sure his so-called "special reward" didn’t get herself killed before she even left the dungeon.

Of thrones and dragons

Daenerys x male Dragonrider reader who's from ulthos? I will probably make a part to of this who knows

Ser Jorah had told Daenerys tales of Ulthos’ weather. The thick jungle.

Trees taller than she had ever seen and the murmur of wild creatures bristling her skin. 

Countless thoughts running through her mind. But one most present. She should’ve brought Drogon with her.

Click.

A broken branch? A booby trap? Or something else?

“Nobody move,” she whispered, raising an eyebrow at Greyworm.

A bright orange ray shone above them. Almost like sunlight.

Definitely warmer.

“Maybe he wasn’t a myth,” Missandei spoke softly.

Suddenly the beast dropped in front of them, with the Unsullied unpacking their spears, and Daenerys tensing all her muscles. Bracing herself.

Dark green scales covered the entirety of your dragon. His face stoic and with gritted sharp teeth. 

He was breathing slowly, Daenerys noticed. Calm, deep breaths.

But his eyes were focused on her. 

And not only his’, she realised. 

You dismounted softly from your beast, ignoring completely the army in front of you. Their spears were sharp and in your direction. 

Every soldier was looking at you more menacingly than the last.

Your eyes however, were focused on her.

Long, pale hair, with braids as long as her waist. Falling completely over her back.

Her eyes were inviting, but there was a tint of worry. Of uncertainty.

You shifted your eyes towards your beast, caressing his side slowly until he calmed with you.

“Are you y/n?” She asked.

Quickly your eyebrow raised in your forehead. “Who are you?”

“I’m Daenerys, of house Targaryen. Blood of Old Valyria.”

“And what brings you to the wilds, your majesty,” you mocked.

“I’ve been searching for you for some time. I was starting to believe you were a myth.” She stopped. “Or a ghost.”

“Ah,” you smiled. “And what’s to say I’m not.

“Terrible dangers lie in this land. Untamed beasts and whatmore.” You grinned.

“And tamed ones?” 

“Oh, yes, those tend to be the worst. But don’t worry, Wildfire here won’t do you any harm,” you smiled, patting your beast. “Nor will I.” 

She smiled and called down her army. “I am in search of a dragon rider, some people called him the best and mightiest of them all. I’ve heard tales of the riders of Uthos.”

“Oh, did you? What did you hear if you may?”

“I heard the forests of Uthos had beasts so swift that their scales blended in with the greenery. And their riders had unmatched skills. Like nothing ever seen in the entire world.”

“Yes, that is true. And why would you need a dragon rider with unmatched skills.” You asked, “Blood of old Valyria you said, you’re supposed to have dragons as well. Although your kind faded with time, I assume the dragons remained.” 

“Sadly, no.”

“Whoever told you that is a liar, and you a fool for believing them. Dragons will outlive us all. Just as we outlive birds, and them ants. It’s the way of the world.”

Her face went stoic. “Will you help me in my quest to conquer Westeros, y/n?” She inquired.

You laughed, “Why would I, I don’t give a damn about Westeros. I don’t even know you, for all that.”

“You could have a throne,” she offered.

“I have a throne, or do you see me taking you to speak with someone about this? Why would I want another one? And one so distasteful.” You grabbed a stone from the ground throwing it lazily, “Why do you?”

Gay army ghosts who like to watch Ants

[placeinthemiddleofnowhere]

I’ve kinda already written about this before with the college AU I started a while ago but I have a mighty need for a life drawing workshop with Ghost and Soap.

Like maybe Soap runs some classes in a local bar venue space or something and he puts out ads every so often for models. Ghost meanwhile is discharged from the army with a shitty shoulder injury and no where to go. After going for a pint with Gaz to commiserate, and drown their shared sorrows of having to leave army life, Gaz tells Ghost about a new side hustle he has going ever since he’d had to leave months prior.

Ghost snorts out a laugh at first “are you bloody joking? You. A life model?”

Gaz pretends not to get too offended, but rolls his eyes and take a drink.

“It’s not as weird as you think. You stand in a couple different poses-“

“With your kit off,” Ghost chuckles.

“Yes, with your kit off,” Gaz huffs. “You get told how to stand and what props to use and then a bunch of people draw you for a couple hours. It’s totally painless and you get decent dosh for it. I do Soap’s class twice a month and Alex’s class three times - it’s easy money, plus it’s cash in hand so HMRC don’t have to be any the wiser bout it.”

“Hang on a minute, Soap?” Ghost says, shaking his head. “What kind of a name is Soap? He gives you props as well? What next, does he ask you to dance for him too? Give ‘im the old dazzle dazzle, do you?”

“Fuck off Ghost.”

“Aw, im only messing. ‘Sides even if I wanted to do little poses for your art class, I wouldn’t be able to. My shoulder’s buggered remember? I wouldn’t be able to hold a lot of positions for long.”

“Soap’s pretty understanding. He can pick poses that suit your body and he can adjust the times so that you don’t have to stay still too long if you can’t take it. You just have to tell him about your injury and he’ll be understanding.”

Ghost shook his head again and took another gulp.

“Fuckin’ Soap.”

“He’s an eccentric guy, but he’s cool,” Gaz shrugs. “Do you want me to speak to him for you? He’s usually on the lookout for new models.”

Ghost would say he’d need to take some time to think about it, but Gaz would take that as a yes. So a few days roll by and soon enough Ghost gets a text through telling him that Soap would be ‘well up’ for meeting him and said he should come by the next evening before class.

Ghost - I told you I’d think about it, you twat. Not to go on ahead and tell him I wanna join his little cult.

Gaz - show up or don’t, you can think about it all you like between now and then. You’ll thank me later 🤪

After that last text Gaz then sent him a picture of a wad of cash and few coins spread out over a blotted bar top. Ghost would sigh, but as soon as he saw that money he knew his decision was made. He needed something until he was able to figure out what to do with the rest of his life, something to tide him over till he received payments for his injury.

He’d turn up for Soap’s class with a flustered air around him and would step through the shadowy doorway to the bar with soft unsure steps. It was still early, there wouldn’t be many people inside. He’d ask the barman where the function room was and sullenly walk through the curtain, raising his brows when he’d finally lay eyes on Soap.

Ghost wouldn’t know what to expect but it’s not the mohawked barrel of a man that’s lugging chairs around the room and running around like a little worker ant. His eyes would linger on the muscles that were exposed from Soap’s paint and charcoal stained tank top and he’d watch on wordlessly, widening his eyes when Soap would finally notice him. He’d dig his nails into his palms to try to stop himself from blushing in embarrassment.

“You’re a bit early for the class’ mate,” Soap would huff, settling another chair around the raised stage. “Looking to join?”

“Uh sort of,” Ghost would say, frowning as he struggled to find words around the bodybuilder/artist. “My friend Gaz, uh Kyle you probably know him as - he said you were looking for more models and that I should come by…”

Soap’s eyes would light in recognition and he’d smile warmly, striding over to greet Ghost properly. Ghost wouldn’t be prepared for the warm grip in Ghost’s handshake and he especiallly wasn’t prepared for those big blue crystalline eyes to be roaming over him as if they were mentally taking him apart.

“Simon right?” Soap would say, revealing a perfect white grin. “I’m Soap, John’s my name, but I prefer Soap so you can go with that, yeah? Kyle mentioned you had a shoulder injury and that you weren’t sure you could hold certain poses.”

Ghost would straighten up then and nod, pointing out which one it was. From then Soap would take him through a few positions and would discuss the technicalities with him, were Ghost to join. Apparently it was easy to make accommodations for him, and Soap would be more than pleased to have him as a model, and like Kyle had already mentioned, the pay was pretty good.

Ghost would grow interested the more he would hear and eventually Soap would wear him down enough into taking him through a few practice ones. They would be relatively easy, and Ghost would find himself realising that Gaz was right - it was easy money. Plus Soap was no bad company either.

He’d be convinced into watching the class that night and getting to have a little taster of what he would be doing. The model that night would be a tiny little thing, a dancer, and would hold the most intricate stances for the eager artists to draw, contorting themselves into pretzel like shapes that Ghost couldn’t possibly hold. They’d capture his attention for a minute, but Ghost would always find himself staring at Soap right after.

He’d watch the way he directed the model, stroking the air to dictate how he wanted them and guiding them gently into form all without physically touching. He’d encourage the artists, complimenting a few people, and helping anyone that needed guidance. His favourite would be when the others would fall silent and Soap would take to gathering himself a pencil and paper and drawing for a little bit. The immense concentration, the way he’d clench his jaw and narrow his eyes would be so captivating and there was nothing that could stop Ghost looking away. Nothing that could stop him from wondering what it would be like having Soap’s eyes on him like that.

As it turns out it would almost steal all the breath from his lungs. Ghost would be sitting on that same stage the next week, stone faced and gritting his teeth through the slight chill in the air. He’d be used to resisting the cold, though he wouldn’t be used to all the eyes on his naked body, most of all Soap’s as his furrowed brow stayed glued to him. Ghost would swear that Soap could read his thoughts, could strip his mind just as easily as his body and he would know that Ghost was developing a stupid obsession with him (he’d refuse to think of it as a crush).

He’d look purposely look away on the next pose and would still feel Soap’s eyes on him still. They’d warm a path from the bones at his collar, all the way down the ridges of his pecs and right down to the pit of his belly. Butterflies would dance where his empty stomach should have been.

He’d love and hate it in equal measure, barely feeling the eyes of Soap’s gaggle of students because of the intensity of their teacher, but he would still show up again the next week and the next after that. Just hoping that maybe one night it wouldn’t be his own hands pulling the cord on his robe, perhaps he could embrace a pair covered in charcoal and graphite and entice them to touch instead of trace the air. He’d want to break through Soap’s page and show him new colours, tear the world as he knew it apart in only the way that Ghost could.

[callofdudes]

So... I did a think completely unrelated with @itsscromp that mentioned the supernatural and this was born. Keep in mind this is religious heavy, it's only a little drabble. Something that sparked a little scene along these lines in my head.

Johnny had been raised Catholic. A lot of Scotland is. It was no surprise when he was sent to a Catholic school although still fighting relentlessly to join the army like his cousin. While his parents thought John was the right amount headstrong to bring light to a dim world, some thought different.

His mother's friend, a priest, often spoke over how John's path between serious and gentle religion might be his undoing.

John finally joined the army, kissing his mother and sisters goodbye, hugging his father and leaving. He wore his cross necklace around his neck as he did so.

John had never forced any of his religious opinions on people. He kept the cross in his pocket to be with him through hard times. It was gifted by his father and it meant so much more than the religious value.

However... The more in tune with the supernatural you become, the more you are likely to attract it. The more they come after you. Sexual deviance, defiance and temptation soaking through the skin like rain in a cold alley.

Pouring in through the wounds that shed blood from his body. John believed in the supernatural, and didn't take it lightly, but had never seen anything.

Not until joining 141.

Something was off about lieutenant Riley. Whatever it was, may it be that Ghost didn't like him, but Ghost didn't like going near him.

His body almost bristled, his gaze sharpening and a look of disgust crossing his face.

Ghost was a man with a dark aura. A cloud of booming thunder and zipping lightning above his head. A gentle glow at the corners of his pupils illuminating in a way that almost felt inhuman.

John knew demons were not beautiful, they were disgusting, gangly creatures. But something about Ghost wasn't right.

The way the large man would try to touch him, and then refrain from it, growling a little and telling him to get moving.

John continued on his path, he kept his necklace in his vest breast pocket everywhere he went. He wore it round his neck on days off.

Ghost knew it was there. Whenever John was around with it on all Ghost looked at was the cross.

John had asked, and Simon simply replied, "Not a religious man, Johnny. If God wanted to spare my soul he'd have done it a long time ago."

John knew he shouldn't press it. He would let Ghost come to him in time. When he was ready.

When they grew closer strange things started to happen. That little voice tbah Johnny often heard in his head when he was a reckless child came back.

Telling him to sin. Telling him that he wasn't perfect so why try? Give in. Give in to everything you've been told is wrong.

Ghost was the embodiment of pride, from what Ghost let John see, but John had never put himself first.

"You ready Soap??" Gaz entered Johnny's room, seeing him slipping on his sweater. "I'm coming Gaz, just gotta find where I put it..."

"Put what, mate??"

"My necklace."

Gaz hummed. "I'm sure you'll be alright for one night. Come on, we're waiting."

Johnny nodded. Gaz was right, a night wouldn't be a life line. So he left, neck bare of his usual protection. When he got in the car, Ghost's eyes raked over Johns neck, seeing the lack of it.

"Where'd your jewelry go, sergeant?"

"Ah, a night without will be fine."

Ghost looked at him with a different gaze. Something else hidden behind the heat inside him. Ghost's large frame towering over John.

They reached the bar and the alcohol was as smooth as Johns tongue. He found himself loosening up, talking to a few girls, making the most of it.

Until that little voice in his head popped up. That little voice telling him just to grab the girl. She was into it, one night in a dark room never to be seen again couldn't hurt...

Ghost was behind him as Johnny heard the voice. Whispering to him like a thousand ants crawling inside his brain.

A hand landed on his shoulder, making him jump and look back. "Goodness Lt, gonna scare it outta me aren't ya?"

Ghost hummed. "What are you thinking about Johnny?"

"Nothing Lt." Johnny pushed away the thoughts in his mind, looking back down at his drink. "I should probably give it a rest before I black out."

Ghost's grip grew tighter. "Go on Johnny... It won't kill ya." His voice got quieter. Johnny tried to look back at him but Ghost's other hand held his jaw.

"No, I think I'm ok Ghost, thank you." Johnny tried to move, catching a glimpse in the mirror along the back of the bar.

His own body, stood next to a tall being. Disfigured limbs, wisping black tendrils flowing out from its grotesque sides.

Simon's figure morphing into the mirror, knowing he was watching. The pitch black hooded figure revealed two glowing pupils.

Hues different in color, burned red at the corners in the little light Johnny could see. His body filled with fear, his hand moving to clutch his necklace, instead grasping his shirt collar.

The demons tongue snaked out, licking Johnny's jaw. "Johnny MacTavish... A scared little boy running from his sin~ what a puny, pathetic little thing. God doesn't want you." Ghost chuckled deeply, his twisted, reverberating voice painful in his eardrums.

He tried to push away, Ghost grabbing him back, cold hand grasping his throat. "little John MacTavish... Running for salvation, running for help." Ghosts eyes burned down into Johnny's, making his baby blues water and tear up.

"Get off of me demon!"

"I don't take orders from you, now that you have that stupid thing off of you!" Ghost's figure grew in size, clawing Johnny back against him. His figure morphed like it was trying to swallow Johnny in.

He couldn't breathe, he couldn't squirm. All he could do was claws, claw and dig. Choking for air, looking up as the horns on Ghost's head grew, long and large, dragging down to the floor, scraping the tiles.

His mind and body filled with fear.

"You are nothing without your religion, it's fucking pathetic." Ghost snapped, snarling down at him like he was a piece of meat.

Johnny squeezed his eyes shut, trying desperately for a breath of air. "Go... Go and don't come back..."

Ghost snarled loudly, claw grazing Johns stomach, pulling him back further into the deep abyss where the voices screamed at him. Putting him to shame and rage and ugliness.

Johnny blocked it out, shaking lightly until he felt a hand on his shoulder. His eyes snapped open, looking over at Gaz. "You ok mate, you've been standing in the corner for quite a while."

Johnny looked around, looking for Ghost, seeing him sitting at the bar.

"I... Y-yes." *He reached up to grasp his cross, finding it absent from his neck. "Yeah, probably just the alcohol getting to me."

Gaz nodded, bringing him back to his seat. The bartender smiled softly. "Anything else I can get you sir??"

"Ah, no thank you, I think I've had enough." Johnny chuckles softly.

Ghost looked over, hunched over his drink, his eyes glowing dangerously. His insides hungered with rage and violence.

Seeing Johnny's abandoned neck, wanting to bruise it, slit it, and throw it at the feet of his family. See what they think of him then...

Curtain Call

So the fight against Showtime at the top of the tower isn't exactly going well given how powerful she is, but thanks to the war down on the ground the tides are about to turn, because a stray barrage of Missile Megs from Bowser misses Metal Overlord and hits the tower about halfway up instead, doing enough damage to make everything above start to fall. Everybody realizes that their only chance of maybe surviving is to jump out the window, and, well, Kamek and Cubot are the only ones who can fly and they're obviously not strong enough to carry everyone else, so all they can really do is hope for a miracle (or at least for Meme Energy to decide it'd be funnier for them to survive the fall).

And with a roar and a call of "YYYYEEEHHHHHAAAWWW!" a miracle does arrive, as they all land on something mostly solid far higher up than they expected.

"Need a lift, piss-ants?"

"Anti-Shroomy!?" The 4 then looks down at what exactly their savior rode in on, "you tamed Draco Piranha!?"

"Yep! Turns out he's not so bad once you show him who's boss."

It's at that point that Showtime reminds us that she can just ignore gravity, and she starts throwing attacks at them, prompting a chase down towards the ground.

...okay, I'll level with you, I've got a few small scenes figured out for all this but not a coherent story to stitch them together, and at this point I just want this done so bear with me. Eventually the fight reaches the ground, the group is still on the back foot, the chaos of the battle raging around them is messing with both sides, at some point Ice Melony and Mecha Desmond show up while fighting each other and Showtime gets caught in their crossfire and blasted elsewhere on the battlefield and the main group (plus the rest of the converted crew members who've managed to come over to either help or attack depending on which conversion they have).

At this point Metal Overlord seemingly manages to overpower Castle Bowser and tries to merge with him to become even more powerful...but it takes a lot more willpower than Metal has to overwrite Bowser's, so instead we get Heavy Metal Bowser.

(not my best work or even colored in but this is what you get. junior for scale)

The good new is that now the Robot converted characters are now under Bowser's control and helping the good guys. The bad news is that Showtime had a front row seat for this.

"Well now, there's an idea." she looks over the battlefield and spies a certain royal Siren fending off a frozen king and his army almost single-handedly, and in an outfit that's almost just her style to boot, "Jackpot."

She flies over, sending out a wave of energy that knocks away everyone besides Old King Winter and Sonata. Sonata levels her trident at the newcomer, "Your energy...you're the source of all this madness, aren't you."

She laughs haughtily, "Clever as always, kiddo. Now, both of you hold still." she raises her arms towards the two and they begin to feel something being torn out of them as painfully as possible.

Streams of colored energy pour out of them and into Showtime, gradually causing all three to glow. eventually it gets so bright that they can't be seen at all, and when it dies down only one titanic figure remains.

"Alright! Goodby Queen Cutie and he-llo Empress Sexy~!"

"Two down, five to go. Now, where's the mushroom girl?" She flies off towards Toadstool Tangle.

Meanwhile, the Ice and Undersea converted people start to undergo some rather horrific transformations, with Creep growing out of them at all angles. 4 unfortunately gets a front-row seat when it happens to 3. This continues with the Mushroom conversions (so really just Draco Piranha and the Tangle itself), then the Muppets and soon after the ghosts, and finally everyone gets to witness the battle between Heavy Metal Bowser and an even more powerful version of Fusion Showtime with features added from the other three trigger characters (I unfortunately did not draw the later Fusion Showtime stages. I might in the future but for now you'll just have to use your imaginations). It's a close match, but eventually even Bowser falls, and Wonder Showtime is born while the Group stands alone once again.

It seems as though all hope is lost, especially since most of them quickly get pinned down by the horribly mutated versions of literally everyone, but 4 gets an idea, "Wait, we still have the seeds, right?"

Mario manages to yeet Luigi away and pulls out a few of their collected Wonder Seeds, "Yeah, but they don't exactly do anything besides sit in your inventory."

"Not on their own, but they're part of a meme, right? And they're a new enough one that they've got way more Meme Energy than most things at that scale. Maybe I can turn them into something we can actually use!"

Meggy looks over from where she's trying to get what might be Saiko and Tari off of Ferb, "Can you even get a meme to that kind of power on your own?"

"..." he looks to a particular section of the battlefield, eyes full of determination, "No, No I can't." he runs in the direction he was looking, tackling the mutated Admiral 3 to the ground and pulling a tentacle that used to be an arm into a death grip.

"SMG4, what are you doing!?"

"My...job!" he's assaulted by the all-too-familiar sensation of the Creep burrowing into his body, his brain, along with the horrible memories that come with it, but he holds firm, "3, if there's anything left in there that can hear me, I need you!"

There's a long few seconds where 4 can't help but think he's just thrown his life away for nothing before the seven Wonder Seeds rise up and start to morph into raw Meme Energy spheres, "work...fast...ba...ka"

The two work in tandem to merge the energy into a single sphere, which then transforms into...

A Wonder Flower. Because what else could it possibly be? This one has the strange grey-with-yellow-accents color scheme of the Special World wonder flowers.

"You've got-erhf-one shot! Make it...count!"

Whoever's left of the group nods in understanding and rushes towards the flower in the hopes of reaching it before one of the mutants, and two hands grab its petals at the same time, one gloved, the other not...and something unexpected happens.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

waitifyourehereandimherethenwhosflyingthepingaswhatthehellamwetalkingabout

A single figure sits on a rooftop, looking out at the sun setting over a city that no longer exists.

They are alone.

They are together.

A living monument to a bond forged in Ink and Fire.

An experience made flesh.

The moment seems to stretch on forever, as they revel in simply Being...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

But when they open their eyes, not even a second has passed.

"Holy shit."

They look down at the awestruck face (or, well, eyes) of Marcy, discovering that they're now significantly taller than either of them were before.

"I knew something crazy would happen but this..."

They grin, "I know, right? I...we?...Yeah, I feel amazing! Like I could do anything! Like-"

The earth shakes, and they look up to find that Showtime's definitely noticed the commotion, "-Liiike I'm wasting time. Let's-a go!"

They run towards the titanic villain, soon discovering that their fusion was only part of the Wonder Effect as an obstacle course of combined Super Mario and Splatoon elements springs up around them, forming a path up to their target. Obviously Showtime doesn't just sit and wait for them, attacking with everything she's got, but they tackle any challenge that comes their way with a combination of Meggy's athletics and skill and Mario's platforming prowess and Avatar powers, as well as some of the greatest reoccurring memes of both (of particular note is when they weaponize Meggy's poor cooking skills to turn an oven they found into a rocket to help them reach a higher level).

Soon enough, they reach the top of what's left of the Tower, nearly at eye level with Wonder Showtime. She leers down at them.

"And just what are you supposed to be, you little freak?"

"It's-a me, Marggy, and I'm not 'supposed' to be anything. But as long as we're both here, I guess I'll be the one to take you down."

She laughs at this, then gives them a sharklike grin, "Real cute, kids. But it's gonna take a lot more than two midgets in a trenchcoat to beat a goddess."

Marggy shrugs, "I dunno, eight on two seems like pretty good odds to me."

More laughter as she brings up her ice-covered arm, "Okay, okay. Now you die."

A blast of ice the width of an ocean liner barrels towards them, but rather than show any fear they simply activate a certain something they grabbed on their way up here: a Killer Wail Canned Special.

"NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINTENDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The beam of sound and ink cuts through the ice magic like it's nothing, badly cracking the ice arm and, after she moves it out of the way in pain, continuing on to blast a hole in the eye on her chest. They waste no time after that, continuing along the Wonder Effect's path towards the prone titan.

She can tell what they're doing, but at her size with her injuries doesn't have the speed or strength to get away in time. Instead, she directs every last one of her mutated minions, Creep tentacles, shadow arms, and whatever else she can muster at them, "JUST DIE ALREADY!!!"

Marggy continues to be able to outrun and outfight everything thrown at them, eventually diving into the hole they made and finding themselves in a massive chamber made of creep. And right in front of them is a face they've been hoping to see all day.

She's beat up, covered in Creep, her dress ripped to shreds and crown nowhere to be seen, and just barely conscious, but when she looks up at them her eyes are as bright as ever, and she doesn't look the least bit surprised to see them, "Hey honey. How was your trip?"

The bravado Marggy's been keeping up crumbles away, and they start to tear up, "Mom..." They run towards her, pulling her into a hug as best they can given her bindings.

They stay that way for a short while, then it's back to business, "Okay, Let's finish this." they look around the room, which seems to be slowly becoming active, for some kind of weak point, eventually spotting yet another massive eye directly above Emulator, "That looks about right."

They pull out Mario's Code Bow, which apparently merged with Meggy's Splattershot so become a futuristic Tri-Stringer, and aim it up at the eye. It's at this point that Showtime starts fighting back again, lashing out from the walls with more tendrils, but it's too late, and an inky, binary-covered arrow flies straight and true clean through the eye's pupil, and the entire room becomes enveloped in blinding blue light as Showtime screams in agony.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back outside, Showtime's outer shell is glowing just as much as the rest of her, and a shockwave of Wonder Power blasts out from her, destroying any Creep it touches and transforming the Mushroom Kingdom and its people back into their original selves. Everyone present begins to celebrate the fact that it's finally, finally over.

In the meantime, the Crew and the airship group all do their best to get their bearings and start heading towards the now rapidly shrinking glow. Which, of course, leads them right back to the old castle grounds.

Before anyone gets there, a small shape falls out of the sky and lands with a comical squeaky toy sound in the grass, standing up to reveal that it's Old Man Hobo back to his usual self "Does anyone know where I li-"

*WHAM*

Suddenly, Bowser crashes shell-first on top of him, clutching Lily to his chest. When the trigger characters had reformed up in the air, he'd made sure to grab onto her so he could break her fall. Giant superpowered turtles can handle falling from the sky, human children usually can't.

Next to land is Kermit, who hits the ground with a splat before immediately standing up, "Well. That was traumatic. Goodbye everyone, don't bother inviting me to the next arc." With that, he walks off with that G-Mod "Move doll up and down" walk that most characters use.

Peach, Floyd and Metal Sonic can all just float down, so they do so.

And finally, there's Marggy and Emulator, who use the last of the Wonder Flower's power to gently touch down right on the moat bridge, with her leaning on them once they're on solid ground and gravity takes effect.

After this there'd probably be an actual reunion scene and maybe an epilogue (plus the scene about Showtime's fate that I detailed in this post) but I am done with this arc. Duck is out, peace!

Ante headcanons for Del?

ooooooo yes a few but not many unfort since he really wasn't around a lot

he's a baseball player. this may be obvious, he's shown in a baseball uniform and wears cleats all the time BUT, to be fair Gorillaz characters wear uniforms that don't apply to them all the time for instance Murdoc has never served in the army as far as we know (only in his past lives) and he still wears them

he's a prankster, I think this one's just canon also since in jump the gut *gestures vaguely* like the whole plot of that short and also that one radio interview where he kept bugging Jamie until he threatened to make his peen tiny

BUILDING off the previous point he was excited to find he was a ghost because a whole new array of pranks were opened up to him. sigh. he would've got along with Ace

you know how some people say people are sun and moon coded? I think that's Del and Russel. Del is very energetic and good with people while Russel tends to be very eepy and reserved

the reason Del could manifest while Russels other friends haven't to our knowledge is because he's Russels ABSOLUTE best friend. or lover maybe 👀

he can communicate with the other ghosts in Russel's body as well as living people. he's kind of in between worlds

also the inside of Russels body is kind of like a building to them and it changes with his emotional state. when he's calm it's a pleasant environment. when he's panicking it gets scary

sometimes when Noodle would have nightmares Del would go comfort her while Russel was asleep

for a while Noodle didn't know about Del and thought he was an imaginary friend. it wasn't until Russel saw a drawing she made of him that he realized Del had been comforting her

Del can appear in Russels dreams and help him through nightmares or just go do fun things with him

the reason Russel had a mirror above his bed in phase 2 is because- so you know how people say you can see ghosts in mirrors even when you can't irl? Russel can see Del and all his friends in that mirror as he's going to sleep

the reason he appeared recently despite getting reaped is because he simply snuck away from the afterlife and came back. he has a lot of stories about what it's like

he's a great story teller because he's a rapper you know he must have a big vocabulary and a quick mind and this makes him a very charismatic story teller

he could also talk to zombies. 2-D would beg him constantly to do zombie interviews for him

I think that's all I can think of for now 🤔 I'll add on if I think of any more

For my depiction of Background Singer as Oogie Boogie Background Singer, I thought Oogie Boogie's theme song from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" could be covered by my OC not surprisingly. In fact, for how I would make my own version of the episode, "A Christmas Plotz", Oogie Boogie Background Singer makes his debut after Wakko disappears. Babes Bunny I thought would be depicted as a vulture with a Thurl Ravenscroft voice. Earlier, the vulture would've sung "You're a Mean One, Mr. Plotz" (a cover of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch", no less) just before Wakko sings his Ghost of Christmas Past song. Babes would still stick around when Background Singer appears as Oogie Boogie Background Singer.

And since this whole episode is suppose to be a nightmare like the original "Christmas Carol" story is depicted as, Dot as the Ghost of Christmas Present is the wife of Oogie Boogie Background Singer. For their first appearance, after the CEO finds another present on his desk and pulls the tag off, ghouls and demons fly out of it and have Mr. Plotz's hands tied behind his chair. And down below are the lyrics for Oogie Boogie Background Singer singing his theme song.

[LYRICS]

(As soon as Mr. Plotz unties the ribbon, an instrumental plays for 14 seconds while dark magic covers the whole office. Then on a trumpet blare, Dot and Oogie pop out of the box.)

Dot (Mad): Who are you calling a fruitcake? (Turns visible)

Oogie Boogie Background Singer: (Steps out of the box) Well, well, well! What have we here? Mr. Plotz, huh? OH! I'm really scared! So you're the one everyone's been hating for so long! (Evilly laughs and starts to speak to the music)

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Spoken): ♪You're joking! You're joking! I can't believe me eyes!♪

♪You're joking me, you've gotta be! This can't be the right guy!♪

He's ancient!

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Deep voice): He's ugly!

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Normal voice): I don't know which is worse! I might just split a seam now if I don't die laughing first!

♪Mister Oogie Boogie says there's trouble close at hand. (Grabs Mr. Plotz by his chest and lifts him up to his height)♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Mad) (Spoken): ♪YOU BETTER PAY ATTENTION NOW! 'Cause I'm the Boogie Man!♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Sung): ♪And if you aren't shaking, there's something very wrong!♪

♪'Cause this may be the last time, you hear the Boogie song. (Turns to his demons) Whoa!♪

Demons: ♪Whoa!♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer: ♪Whoa! (Opens a box, unleashing Dot's pets.)♪

Dot's pets: ♪Whoa!♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer: ♪Whoa!♪

High-Pitched Vultures: ♪Whoa!♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer, Dot, and his army: ♪I'm/He's the Oogie Boogie Man!♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Spoken): ♪Well, if I'm feeling ANTSY (When Oogie yells "ANTSY!", ants fly out of his mouth and land on Mr. Plotz' face.) and I've nothing much to do, I might just cook a special batch of Snake and Spider Stew!♪

♪And don't you know the one thing, that would make it work so nice A roly-poly Mr. Plotz to add a little SPICE!♪

Dot, Oogie's Henchmen, and Vultures: ♪Whoa!♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Sung): ♪Whoa!♪

Dot, Oogie's Henchmen, and Vultures: ♪Whoa!♪

(Oogie Boogie Background Singer evilly laughs)

♪Whoa!♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer: Yeah.

Oogie Boogie Background Singer, Dot, and his army: ♪I'm/He's the Oogie Boogie Man!♪

Mr. Plotz (Mad) (Spoken): ♪Release me now, or you will face the dire consequences!♪

♪The Warners are expecting me, so please! Come to your senses!♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Spoken): ♪You're joking! You're joking! I can't believe me ears! (Spins Mr. Plotz around)♪

♪Will someone shut this follow up? (Kicks him to the floor)♪

♪I'm drowning in my tears!♪

♪It's funny! I'm laughing! You really are too much!♪

And now with your permission, I'm going to do my stuff.

Mr. Plotz (Scared): Wha-what are you going to do?

Oogie Boogie Background Singer: I'm gonna do the best I can.

(During the jazzy instrumental, Dot steps out of the box to introduce herself.)

Dot: I'm the Ghost of Christmas Present. It’s a pun. Get it?

Vulture: Ha! Yes!

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Sung): ♪WHOA! The sounds of rolling dice to me is music in the air! (Throws five dice blocks onto the floor, four of which reveal Mr. Plotz' face.)♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Spoken): ♪'Cause I'm a gambling Boogie man, although I don't play fair!♪

(Oogie pours the dice back in the cup, and magically pulls out a long chain.)

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Sung): ♪It's much more fun, I must confess, when lives are on the line! (Throws the chain at Mr. Plotz, tying him up.)♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Spoken): ♪Not mine, of course. But yours, old boy! Now that'd be just fine!♪

Mr. Plotz (Spoken): ♪Release me fast, or you will have to answer for this heinous act!♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Spoken): ♪Oh brother! You're something! You put me in a spin! (Pulls the chain, and spins Mr. Plotz around.)♪

♪But you aren't comprehending, the position that you're in!♪

(Oogie's demons and Dot's pets surround Mr. Plotz and slowly walk closer to him from all angles)

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Spoken) (Off-screen): ♪It's hopeless! You're finished! And you haven't got a prayer!♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (Spoken) (On-screen): ♪(Opens his folded wings that say "OOGIE" on each wing) Because I'm "Mr. Oogie Boogie", and you ain't going nowhere. (Evilly laughs and turns to his wife)♪

Let's finishhh him off.

(Just then, bouncy upbeat music begins to play, with Dot and Oogie dancing while holding hands.)

Oogie Boogie Background Singer and Dot: ♪Thaddeus Plotz, you mean old man! Causing pain wherever you can, it's all about to hit the fan, you greedy C.E.O.!♪

♪You're guilty in the first degree of causing pain and misery!♪

(Dot and Oogie throw Mr. Plotz in the box and Dot dives in after him)

♪Now it's time for you to see, so hang on, here we go!♪♪

Oogie Boogie Background Singer (On the final note of the music): Hey! (Oogie flies into the box)

The rules are simple - find a sentence, or excerpt, that includes the words you’re given and paste it in, and include a link to the finished story if you want. But honestly, these are guidelines at best - do what you want.

My words to find:

Fly, Green, Independent, Fixated, Magical, Incoherent, Copy, Mental, Fire, Glowing

I’m tagging: uhhh i think everyone i know who would do this has already been tagged, please feel free to do this if you want

Your words are:

-Egg -Epiphany -Pastry -Hot -Rock -Fox -Feather -Bullet -Child -Bake

Synonyms allowed if these are strange, I don't know what I'm doing, let's a-go

LMAO I THINK ALL OF THESE ARE KETUCARI LETS GOOOO

i cheated and some of these are short blurbs that came along with an image but i made sure that i was picking ones that were a few paragraphs long at least.

Fly: Royale was watching the sky herself now. "Keep looking up at them. Soon you might feel... a pull. Let it take you up."

Royale began floating, a golden light covering her. [Airborne]

"fly" itself was in this one but this part was more interesting.

Green: I apparently have not mentioned the word green in years and using types of plants as a synonym feels like cheating.

Independent: sorry, can't find this one

Fixated: "Focus here, child," Ante spoke. An army of Deads raised their head in the space beyond space, but the cub couldn't lift his physical head by his own will. "You're safe here. Blink twice if you can hear me." [i'd encourage your smiles, i expect you won't cry]

this one is in the middle of a storyline, content warning for heavy subjects but mostly child abuse if you read that whole storyline

Magical: Riley padded forward, looking into the case. An electric violin sat there, clear and shining. Riley picked it up and the bow with it and laid back, turning it over in their fingers. They never learned proper magic, both to the chagrin and relief of their captors, and had to fight their way out with bare fists, teeth and claw. They tried to draw from some source within themself, and... nothing.

Leslie looked on, expecting.

Riley sighed, a rumble in their throat and rosin freshly on their bow. [i don't know if this one is about me or the devil]

Incoherent: I don't think I've used the word, exactly, but the word incoherent describes a good chunk of this specific lit so I'm linking it. TW for torture and mention of culling dragon children. [this ain't a noose, this is a leash]

Copy: I REALLY WISH THIS CAME UP LATER IN THE MONTH BECAUSE UH. I'M GOING TO BE DOING AN ART PIECE WITH SHADOW COPIES LMAO. IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A LIT ACCOMPANIMENT. I can't find this in my recent/last couple of years of work though.

Mental: “He’s Talik,” Viral’s voice was a low song, so deep in his ear that it was in his head. “He gets control of your mind and makes you bet. Why do you think we keep coming back? Take him on and I’ll halve your price.”

“You’re not as quiet as you think,” Ante’s voice echoed, and the two scattered. [sell your fortune to me],

Fire: “Oh, shit,” Twe’s back arched, alarmed, and he scrambled to take off his mask. “No, you - you see, you’ve got it wrong. It’s just theatre, Your Glory. Cin’s been drenched in a chemical, she wouldn’t burn.”

“Just the forest,” Evermore averted her gaze. Kandriya could take it, but the idea of an intentional forest fire in a zone that burned so easily weighed heavily on her. [when the wine drinks itself]

Fire was in almost every piece I tried to find things in, i had to pick something Interesting

Glowing: The creature was short and stout, covered in spines and horns. They were the color of metalworking, glowing in parts like the fire of the profession itself. [what's up ghosts]
