<p><p><p><p><p>(The New Demon continues.) Thanks to Quote freeing the mimiga at the plantation, Mimiga Village was fuller then ever! Yet it also meant many more mouths to feed. "Coming right out!" replied Kanpachi, bearing a plate of fish. Suddenly, the ground quaked. It only happened for a second, but it was ominous. A piece of ceiling fell down. "What was that?" asked Jack. "I bet it was those time bombs in Egg Corridor." said Kanpachi.

"Itoh! What are you doing with Puu Black?" asked Curly. Itoh chuckled in response. "Everyone though I was a coward," he said, "but the Demon Crown will show them better. Puu Black shall wield the ultimate weapon! Ballos is here to see you two, by the way." From behind Puu Black emerged Ballos, as alive as if Quote never fought him. In Ballos's hand was the Demon Crown, which he gave to Puu Black. Putting it on his head, Puu Black said, "Too late, soldiers. Now I'll show you what real power is!" Puu Black raised his hand, and Balrog burst through the ceiling. "You are my new slave, Balrog. You kept these two alive." said Puu Black. "I see you and I look alike, but we are nit truly alike." With that, Puu changed into mist, and covered Balrog. He suddenly became black, like everything that Puu Black takes over. Itoh went to a teleporter behind him and went away. Balrog raised his arm, and the floor started to break underneath Quote and Curly. They fell through the ground, Black Balrog laughing from above./////Mimiga Village..."I'm worried about what is taking Quote so long," Kanpachi said. Jack replied, "Should we go check on them?"/////Egg Corridor...Since last time they had been here, Egg Corridor looked mostly fixed up, minus the eggs. "Quote, do you know where we're going?" asked Curly as they walked. Quote simply nodded, so the only thing to do was move forward. Nothing eventful happened, and they got to outer wall safely. "Quote, what do we do about this..." Before she could finish, a dragon flew down the wall, and roared at them. Snatching at Curly, she jumped back. Behind the first dragon came another. It was the dragon sisters. Curly's nemesis didn't make a dent in the sisters' scales. Quote considered using his missle launcher, then remembered something. Motioning for Curly to step back, he started charging the Spur. It finished just as a sister roared at him. Quote unleashed the full lazer right between her teeth, and she fell over, down and out. The other sister roared and charged Quote before he got the Spur charged. Just before she ate him, a rocked hurled over Quote's shoulder and landed right in her throat. She fell down, choking on this missle. She was out quickly. "Quote!" Jack said from behind, running over to him, Kanpachi following along at a fast pace. "We thought the Time Bombs were back from the explosions we heard!" Curly said "Is that what you're doing here? Anyway, thank you for saving us, but we have to keep going." "Where are you going?" asked Kanpachi. Curly answered, "To find Ballos and Puu Black and destroy the Demon Crown." /////Plantation..."Itoh, you're service is no longer needed. Your dragons fell to a rock and a gun. Is that what you call unstoppable?" demanded Black Balrog. "Sir..." Itoh stammered, but Black would hear nothing of it. Using his magic, he threw Itoh out the door to Outer Wall. Ballos asked, "Why do you enslave me as such? A normal person would have chains, but I am enchained to you by my own magic!" "Enough out of you," Black responded. "I think you will do well as a use for the Red Crystal."/////Middle of Outer Wall..."What are you saying?" Curly asked Itoh, after having caught her. He answered, "Puu Black is more powerful than I thought. He has Ballos, the Red Crystal and the Demon Crown at his side. He has captured the strongest on the island under Ballos's and his power. He can tell that Ballos is hiding information, however. Puu Black won't stop until he finds out who Ballos is hiding, so he can complete his army." "Who does Puu Black have so far? " asked Curly. "Besides Monster X and the Sisters, who you both defeated?" Itoh said. "Omega, Ballos, Balrog, Misery, the Red Ogre, Igor..." "Wait, isn't Igor supposed to be gone?" asked Curly. "Not anymore. He was revived by Ballos and made rabid by the Red Crystal. He is the leader of the Gaudi army." Itoh said. Curly said, "No more talking! We have to go fight Puu Black and rescue the last fighter!" With that, Curly and Quote continued climbing. /////Plantation...(continued later this page)
