Alright, this has gone on long enough! I'm going to be taken seriously as a writer here! It's time to show you all the other side of the coin, especially those who keep up on Hikara's Protectorate series.
Besides, if Hikara can do it, so can I.
Rio walked carefully through the ruins of the seabed laboratory. She had worked long and hard to become powerful enough to do this without damaging any D-celled monsters, and now she had made it. Her face set in grim determination, she entered what he knew to be the final room and stepped through the teleporter. After so much trial and sacrifice, she made it.
She waited patiently on the elevator. Soon, her objective came into sight: Olga Flow. This was everything the RAcaseal had worked for. She looked at her rifle, and saw that Flow was waiting for her to make the first move. She threw it down and knelt.
"My name is Rio." She had to raise her voice to be heard. Even upsidedown, Flow didn't seem impressed. He took one swing at her with his mighty sword, and she flipped over it with ease.
"I've come looking for you, Flowen, Olga, and IDOLA!" She announced, and hoped that whichever entity was in control would give her a second glance now. Flow just raised his other hand and fired his magnificent beam straight at her. She blocked it as best she could, but took slight damage anyway. Then the purpose came to her: He was testing her. Apparently, fighting her way through all of Gal Da Val wasn't enough. Now she had to take punishment willingly, too.
But soon, the elevator fell away and the beam died down. Then Flow hit the floor, and his four legs disintigrated to become two. He looked down at the pathetic mortal with disgust.
"Olga Flow, I need your help!" She called up to him. An unshakable fear overtook her, and she knew it to be another test. Then Flow knelt down unthreateningly and his words flooded her mind.
Why do you seek me? he demanded mentally, and the walls shook with his power.
"I have word--"
Fool. Think.He tallied this as a mark against her.
Forgiveness, my lord. she asked him humbly, but I have searched long and hard for you. I come to offer aid. She stopped as he began laughing incredulously. Everything around Rio vibrated with the Dark Lord's amusement.
You?! To aid me? You are mortal, and I am IDOLA! She thought for sure all was lost, until he spoke again.
But you have come all this way through my desmesnes, and not bothered any of my minions. Apparently, you know the simplest way to win favor. I will hear your petition.
Many thanks, my lord. Surely you know that the forces of the light are gathering against you, even now. He quaked with rage, and she continued. But I bring you help. You cannot battle this man on your own, this...Orin. Your immediate, physical power does not extend beyong the planet's atmosphere.
Yes...They are crafty like that. Flow agreed dangerously. Reminding him of his weak points wasn't his most favorite thing to do right now.
But I can bring you relief. Perhaps I can explain things from the mortal point of view.
For this information, you desire...what?He couldn't believe he was bargaining with a mortal, but if anyone wanted to bring it up, they would have to keep in mind that he was Olga Flow.
For this information, I desire nothing but what you give me. I am one of the few who recognize that good and evil must coexist. Or, if you do not consider yourself evil, destruction, then. Either way, these mortals want to eradicate you, but they do not realize that doing so would only bring the evil into their hearts. There is no such thing as a perfect world, but no one else knows that. No one but me...and my Enlightened. Rio tried to stay modest about all this, but she hated the way her fellow man saw the world in black and white, not realizing that their entire world was lying on the division of the two non-colors.
Hmph, a mortal fighting force? What could I possibly use that for?
Don't think of us like that. Think of us as a more subtle means to accomplish your objectives. A Del Saber would immediately be picked out in a crowd, but a nondescript RAnewm could make his way into any part of the building. Then she saw her mistake, and regretted it.
You beleive that you know something I do not? You think that I have mispercieved you? I am OLGA FLOW! I have done nothing of the sort. I do not require an advisor in your weak, mortal matters. Begone.[/i} He commanded angrily, and rose to his feet. She doubled over quickly and thought quickly [i]My lord, I meant nothing of the sort! But surely, you can see the logic. For no creature lives long with only one eye, or one perspective on the matter. No...intelligent creature, anyway. Please, lord, allow us to be your other mind, other eye. We can help you manipulate their minds, lord. She raised her head carefully.
We live to serve
