Decree: *pacing around
the den* A month already?! Fook! We must find a way to stop those angels
once and for all...
Mandy: *not paying
attention* Ooooh, shiny...
Decree: *turns around
and sees Mandy holding a musket with a bayonet attached* What the heck?!
Mandy, where did you get that thing?
Mandy: From General
Howe! You know, the Revolutionary War guy, the one I always sit next to
at the annual Generals & Commanders Club Tea Party.
Decree: But Mandy,
you've never served in a war.
Mandy: I know, but
their uniforms are so cute ^_^ Anyway, he gave me this as a souvenir. *starts
tossing it up in the air and catching it*
Decree: Fine, just
be careful with that thing. Anyway, like I was saying, we need to knock
those angels down flat! The weaker they are, the easier it is to defeat
them, and the less training Evan needs, and the easier it is to take over
the Earth! *evil laughter*
Mandy: *tosses the
musket carelessly into the air, but fails to catch it*
THONK!
(Decree is knocked
unconscious >.<)
Mandy: ...that's
bad. At least the bayonet side didn't hit her. *runs off to find help*
MEANWHILE...
(Heaven's Angels
are rejoicing because any moment now the gates will open and they will
be free!)
Dream: Oh joyous
day!
Eve: I can't wait
to get everything back to normal!
Eternity: Unfortunately,
Eve, getting things back to normal is going to be tough work, and it may
take weeks! We need to go through all the backed-up new arrivals, and repair
the damages...
Lindsay: And come
up with a new plan to defeat Hell's Angels since they have the key.
Eternity: *somber
nodding* We have a heavy weight on our shoulders.
Dream: But we're
gonna do our best to triumph!
Angels: Yeah!
Eternity: So c'mon,
let's watch the gates open!
(They all crowd around the gate leading onto Earth. Suddenly, it starts to glow bright white, and rays shoot out of it, and then...they're free! ^_^)
Angels: *pause* *sweatdrops*
(Oddly enough, the first thing they see is...Decree.)
Eternity: *backing
up a step* Um.....can we help you?
Decree: *dippy smile*
Hello friend! Would you please tell me how to get to Sesame Street?
Angels: ...huh?!
Lindsay: *aside
to Eternity* is this some kind of sick joke? Or a trap?
Eternity: I'm not
sure...
Decree: Where am
I? Who am I? And what am I doing wearing these icky black clothes?
Eternity: Um...you
mean to tell me that you have no clue who you are or where you came from?
Decree: ...I guess
so.
Eternity: So...you
don't remember Satan?
Decree: Who?
Angels: *gasp*
Decree: I'm so confused.
Please tell me what you know.
Eternity: Well...your
name is Decree. You come from Hell, where you are an evil angel. You're
our enemy.
Decree: ...Hell?
Is that a bad place?
Lindsay: Duh!
Decree: I don't
wanna be evil. I wanna be good, like you girls!
Angels: *very frightened
looks*
Eternity: ...Really?
Decree: Yes! I mean,
I have no home, and I can't remember anything, and you girls seem so nice,
so I wanna stay here!
Eve: Wait a minute,
Eternity, how do we know this isn't just one big trick?
Eternity: You have
a good point. I guess we'll just have to trust her. C'mon, we're Heaven's
angels! We stand for love, peace, and kindness, and we look good while
doing it! We have to give her a chance!
Angels: *blank stares*
Eternity: Plus,
she's defied her god and didn't gag through that entire speech, so I guess
she's serious.
Angels: *nod apprehensively
in agreement*
Eternity: Good!
Decree, Lindsay will show you to your room and give you some new, more
flattering clothes.
Lindsay: eh-heh...
*sweatdrop*
BACK IN HELL...
(Lark is laying
on her bed, staring at her walls and ceiling, which are plastered with
sexy pictures of Satan, when she hears a knock at the door.)
Lark: I'm busy!
Mandy: *barges in
anyway* Lark, quick!
Lark: What? Don't
tell me that you've been seeing plaid dinosaurs in the hallway again, cuz
I told you they're imaginary.
Mandy: No, Decree
is gone!
Lark: What? Where
did she go?
Mandy: I dunno!
I accidentally hit her on the head and I went to get help and when I came
back she was *gasp* GONE!
Lark: *glares* And
I know just where she is.
Mandy: Me too -
the circus!
Lark: NO! She's
been kidnapped!
Mandy: ...by the
circus clowns?
Lark: Baka! She's
not at the freakin circus! She's been kidnapped by that dirty little whore
and her ditzy little cohorts!
Mandy: But why would
Satan's new girlfriend do that?
Lark: *pause* HUH?!
WHAT NEW GIRLFRIEND?!
Mandy: *shrug* I
just figured that that's who you'd be describing so vehemently.
Lark: *rolls eyes*
*sigh of relief* Don't scare me like that! Well, nevermind then. C'mon,
we're off!
Mandy: To the circus!
Lark: *smacks her*
NO! TO HEAVEN!
UP THERE...
(Decree has changed
into a frilly pink dress...with a ruffled skirt...and poofy sleeves....yeach,
scary 0.o)
Decree: Teehee! Thanks!
Angels: ^_^
Eternity: Oh! Don't
forget, angels, we have work to do today!
Decree: ...work?
Eternity: Well,
yes, we have a lot of arrivals to get through, and damage to tally.
Decree: ...damage?
Eve: Yeah, you and
your angels kinda sorta destroyed our lair >.<
Decree: *gasp* That's
terrible! I'm sorry!
*Ding dong!*
Eternity: Excuse
me for a moment please... *goes to open the door*
(There stand Lark
and Mandy)
Lark: Alright, where
is she?!
Mandy: *holding
up a neon-pink water gun* Hand her over or I'll shoot!
Eternity: *rolls
eyes* Relax, she's inside, okay?
Lark: What have
you done to her?!
Eternity: We didn't
do anything! She came to us!
Lark: Yeah right!
I'll believe that when I see it!
*She and Mandy push
past*
(There sits Decree,
in pink, with a dippy grin on her face)
Lark and Mandy:
*gasp* 0_0
Lark: What the hell?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Eternity: She has
amnesia. Best you leave her alone.
Lark: Amnesia? Isn't
that only temporary?
Eternity: Not always.
So I suggest you leave her alone if you know what's best. *starts pushing
them out the door*
Lark: No! DECREE!
DECREE! DE-!
*SLAM!*
Decree: Who were
they?
Eternity: Oh, just
two of the girls responsible for wrecking Heaven.
Decree: That's terrible!
Shouldn't we do something about it? Shouldn't we get revenge?
Eternity: Hm...I
like the way you think. One moment please.
(The angels gather
in a tight circle with their backs toward her)
Lindsay: Um, are
you sure about this?
Eternity: It's fool
proof! A win-win situation! We'll send her down there to battle her angels
for us, and either she'll be too powerful for them and wipe them out, or
she won't remember her powers and they'll have to defeat her!
Dream: Er, I don't
know about this...
Eternity: Worry
not! Just go with it! ^_^
IN THE BURNING PITS...
(Lark and Mandy
are busy thinking of a plan)
Lark: Since Decree
isn't coming back any time soon, that makes me the Head Angel! ^_^ And
as so, I've decided that we need to kidnap Decree back and force her memory
back into her head!
Mandy: ...How?
Lark: I don't know,
I didn't get that far in my plan yet. I wonder if Satan would have any
ideas...
Mandy: Lark! Be
serious!
Lark: Like you're
one to talk. Ok, ok, think...ow... *frown* First let's start with step
one...
(So they head towards
the gate into Heaven)
>*POOF!*<
(Decree appears
in front of them)
Mandy: Hooray! Decree
has come to her senses! *hugs her*
Decree: *pulling
her away* No, I'm here to avenge my friends for what you did to their beautiful
kingdom!
Lark: *rolls eyes*
It's just the amnesia talking.
Decree: Look, I
don't know what amnesia you're talking about, bu words are useless. Let's
fight!
Lark: *scoff* If
you've forgotten everything, I bet you don't even remember any of your
spells!
Decree: *shoots
a magma ball at her*
Lark: Ack! Run for
your life!
(She dives behind
the couch just as another chain of fire balls streaks toward her)
Lark: Geh! 0.o
Mandy: *sitting
to the side eating popcorn*
Lark: Mandy! *dodge*
Aren't you gonna- *dodge* -help me?! *sweatdrop*
Mandy: ...yes?
Lark: Then do something!
Mandy: Right! *runs
off*
Lark: Ah, where
are you going?! *ducks*
Decree: It's useless!
You could never beat me! *tosses a jet stream of fire*
Lark: *unnaturally
arches to avoid being burned to a crisp* Decre~e! Can't we work this out?
Decree: No! You
hurt my friends!
Lark: This is crazy!
Mandy: *bouncing
back in* Craziness!
Lark: What would
Satan say about all this? He'd be ashamed! He'd cry! He'd cry into my shoulder.
And he'd be so overtaken by grief that he'd want to banish his immortal
soul to a place of no return. But first he'd want one last hurrah, so we'd
go and make mad passionate love, and he'd confess his undying love for
me, and he'd decide that he really wants to be with me, and not in some
place of no return, and we'd rule Earth together, and *I'd* be Head Angel,
and you'd be forced to-
(Decree hurls another
set of fiery arrows)
Lark: ACK! *runs
in a circle* WAAAH! MANDY, DO SOMETHING, DAMMIT!
Mandy: *chucks a
stuffed giraffe at Decree*
(The impact immediately
renders Decree unconscious)
Lark: ... *blink
blink*
Mandy: Is she dead?
Lark: Of course
not! Mandy, what was in that giraffe?
Mandy: My brick
collection. ^_^
Lark: But you don't
collect bricks.
Mandy: I just started.
Lark: .......
Mandy: *pokes Decree
with a stick*
Decree: ...
Mandy: *pokes again*
Decree: *groans*
Mandy: *pokes s'more*
Decree: Ehhh, stop
that! *squints*
Mandy: ...you're
back! *hugs her*
Decree: *frightened
looks* Where did I go?
Lark: Well, you
may not believe this but... you had amnesia.
Decree: *pushes
Mandy off* Okay.
Lark: And...you
thought you were a...a... *crying* a Heaven's Angel! >.<
Decree: WHAT?! *looks
down* GEH! 0.o *screams* *faints*
A BIT LATER...
(Decree is changed
back into her black uniform)
Decree: Ah, much
better.
Mandy: Don't you
wanna know the whole exciting story of what you were doing and how we saved
you?
Decree: No.
Mandy: But-
Decree: No.
Mandy: ...I-
Decree: *NO!*
Lark: *sigh* *hands
her an icepack* Oh well. There goes my 15 minutes of fame. I wonder if
that's enough to impress Satan...
Decree: *pressing
ice to her head* Well apparently nothing has changed in my absence...
Mandy: *is blowing
bubbles and chasing after them*
Decree: ...and maybe
that's not such a bad thing.
Mandy: *runs into
a wall*
Decree: *sweatdrops*
Why me...
