FORBIDDEN - Drowned

 FORBIDDEN - DROWNED

Written by Onyxe Blade

NOW

Scylla Baros, a water sage who hailed from Greece and a member of Team Hellin, entered the house of a woman named Cassandra Adesina who resided in Lagos. Espionage was not Scylla's specialty nor was entering someone's home without permission. However knowing what Cassandra had planned for her friend, Nadiya Nnamdi, Scylla knew she needed to handle the mischievous woman before she could act on her schemes against Nadiya.

A FEW DAYS AGO

After having completed another dangerous mission in Ik-Qoise alongside her allies Hellin, Orsela, August, Trevyn, Lea, Romeo, and Brody, the heroes entered a dungeon where they had fought an ancient being by the name of Chernobog. The battle was not easy and required the best of efforts on the heroes' part, but they managed to defeat the powerful being. Chernobog would no longer be a burden to the citizens of Ik-Qoise, and those sages who had fallen to the evil being were now avenged. Shortly after, Hellin and Lea teleported the heroes back to Mayland to report back to Onyx. Scylla received a text message from her friend Nadiya to attend her seminar in her hometown in Lagos this evening. Normally a trip from Mayland to Lagos for someone like Scylla would have easily taken half a day by plane. Fortunately she was still in Hellin's company since Lea had hurried back to her home in Plutonia, taking Romeo with her. Hellin had already planned to take Trevyn back to his palace in Nigeria, so Scylla tagging along was a non-issue.

Scylla would then arrive at the hotel she had booked a few days prior before heading up to her room. Scylla would shower in order to freshen herself up from her mission earlier. Along with changing to much more appropriate clothes compared to her light and see-through white Grecian clothing she normally wears into battle. It was 6:47 PM in Lagos as Scylla wanted to arrive just early enough to find a good seat but not too early to avoid getting caught up in an unwanted conversation with strangers. Scylla had only befriended Nadiya very recently after meeting her a month ago at a seminar she attended in Greece speaking on choosing simplicity over magic. Scylla still reflects on the day she was once a normal woman before the fateful day when she nearly lost her baby sister, Myla, to an envious witch. Scylla would then encounter a mysterious hermit whom she reluctantly kissed in order to gain the power to save her sister. While forever grateful that Myla's life was saved. Scylla always harbored resentment for possessing a power she never wanted. Thus thrown into the fray of the never-ending battle against evil. Hearing Nadiya speak on the magic of simplicity ignited something pleasant in Scylla's soul. In a world full of magic, demons, beastarians, fairies, and dragons. It was refreshing to know that there were people like Nadiya who enjoyed being a regular human.

After the seminar as Scylla was ready to go home. Nadiya had walked up to her and introduced herself. Normally folks avoided Scylla since she had an aura about herself that screamed ice queen. However, Nadiya was able to see past Scylla's iron exterior and saw the graceful soul within. The two women would go out to eat at a ramen shop and begin conversing with one another. Scylla spoke about her nephews, her teammates, and even mentioned her apprentice Pranai, who lived in Thailand. Nadiya would reciprocate Scylla's openness by discussing her personal life and her recent divorce from her ex-husband, Winston, who was having an affair with her former best friend, Cassandra. Having accidentally discovered her husband's infidelity. Instead of allowing her emotions to get the better of her. Nadiya decided to simply walk away. It was only afterwards that Winston regretted his decision, but Nadiya refused to turn back. Instead, she would move on with her life, continuing to inspire those all throughout the world with her various seminars. Unfortunately it seems that Nadiya had underestimated Cassandra's disdain for her. Even after having sabotaged her friend's marriage. Cassandra tried to use her influence in the Nigerian media to ruin Nadiya. Fortunately her efforts have mostly been fruitless, but Nadiya still encountered a few bumps in the road. The worst part was that only Nadiya knew that it was Cassandra doing it to her, spreading various rumors about what really caused Nadiya and Winston's marriage to end.

Hearing about this Cassandra woman really irked Scylla since it reminded her of the many nasty bitches she had the displeasure of meeting throughout her life. When she was in her 50s, a friend by the name of Prina had committed suicide after learning that her boyfriend cheated. That very day marked Scylla's refusal to ever be in a relationship, and thus she had remained single ever since. The two women would finish their food before leaving the restaurant and exchanging contact info. A few days later, Nadiya would invite Scylla to her upcoming seminar in Lagos and have Scylla promise that she would show up. Despite knowing the unpredictable life she lives. She promised her friend that she would be in attendance. Shortly after the seminar had ended. Before Scylla went to meet up with Nadiya, she had gone to find the women's restroom. Upon arriving towards the door of the bathroom, Scylla overheard a woman conversing with herself about having finally found a way to ruin Nadiya for good. Seconds later a gorgeous bronze-skinned woman with amber and mahogany-colored curly hair wearing a turquoise dress. This was none other than the despicable Cassandra Adesina. One of Nigeria's popular media personalities and the very woman who ruined Nadiya's marriage and set out to ruin her entirely. "Can I help you?" Cassandra said to Scylla in a snarky tone. Scylla responded with "Yes! You can move from the bathroom door" in the same nasty demeanor. Cassandra simply looked at Scylla like she was less than a roach before brushing past her. It took everything in that moment for Scylla not to grab her by the hair and slam her onto the floor. Scylla did not wish to make a scene at her friend's event. Nonetheless, after hearing what she heard Cassandra said in the bathroom. Scylla knows that she has to be dealt with sooner than later. Before returning back to Nadiya, Scylla texted her apprentice Pranai and asked him to get her some info on Cassandra Adesina.

Meeting up with Nadiya, Scylla attempted to hide her rage in order to not make her worried. Instinctively Nadiya knew something was up and asked Scylla with genuine concern what was bothering her. Scylla responded with, "It's work-related stuff. I got a message from one of my teammates that I may be needed." Nadiya looked both concerned and disappointed but understood that Scylla wasn't a normal woman like her. Scylla then received a text from Pranai, giving his mentor the information required in order to execute her plan. "I understand you have your own responsibilities, but I truly thank you for coming tonight. I hope this isn't the last time we meet", said Nadiya before she hugged and planted a kiss on Scylla's forehead. Scylla bid her farewell before exiting the scene in order to deal with the scheming Cassandra.

NOW

Successfully having entered Cassandra's home thanks to the clever usage of her water magic. Scylla quietly began exploring throughout her home while making sure to not make any unnecessary noises. Heading towards the room that Scylla believed was Cassandra's bedroom, a glowing yellow circle suddenly formed beneath Scylla's sandals. Before she could react, a voice shouts out "SHOCK SIGIL!" and Scylla was immediately enveloped in a yellow colored cylinder that produced powerful voltage from within. Shocked from within the magical cylinder, Scylla lets out an agonizing scream as she dropped to the floor, covered in blisters and burn marks. Injured but retaining consciousness, she listened as Cassandra approached her from behind. Staring down at her intruder, Cassandra wore a lavender colored night gown and a dismissive look proudly on her face as she confronted Scylla for entering her home uninvited.

Cassandra: Well, if it isn't the little pest I saw earlier at the seminar. I knew I should have dealt with you when I encountered your sorry ass earlier. Luckily for me, your stupid ass came to me! I betcha you thought I was just like Nadiya. A regular mortal who practiced zero magic... oh were you so wrong!

Scylla: Shock Sigil is an offensive magic spell. Only registered sages should have that type of spell in their arsenal. That means you either learned or was taught that spell through illegal means. I'm guessing you have a connection with a witch hidden in Nigeria?

Cassandra: You guessed right smartass, but not smart enough to enter my home and thinking you'll walk out alive. So tell me, did Nadiya send you to handle me? I knew she would eventually figure out it was me trying to sabotage her career. I thought having an affair with that loser ex-husband of hers would have broken her. Instead she decided to be the "bigger person" and just move on with her life. Ever since then I have made it my mission to destroy her. I won't rest until I see Nadiya completely in ruin!

Scylla: So it wasn't enough for your sorry ass to ruin her marriage and damage her view of love. Now you want to go so fucking far as to ruin her reputation and career? And to think I came here just to confront and merely scare your sorry ass to leave my friend alone. However, I see now such a plan is fruitless for a bitch like you! Instead I need to make for certain that you'll never disturb Nadiya ever again

Cassandra: And how the fuck do you plan on doing that?

Scylla: The only way I know how... by drowning you!

Spotting the venom in Scylla's eyes, Cassandra attempts to perform another spell, but it's already too late. Using the toilet water in Cassandra's home, Scylla manipulates it and directs it towards her target. An unsuspected stream of water strikes Cassandra, knocking her viciously onto the ground. Scylla then uses a spell called "Water Heal" that heals the burns and blisters on her body that she received from Cassandra earlier. Rising to her feet, Scylla walks purposefully towards the downed Cassandra while conjuring a ball of water in her right palm. Soaked and barely recovering from the unexpected attack, Cassandra stares up and sees Scylla towering over her with a killer intent. Cassandra attempted to speak, perhaps to plead for mercy, but Scylla was not interested in her words.

Scylla: Save your breath, bitch! There is nothing you can say that will change my mind. You should have left Nadiya alone when you had the chance, but now it's over for you!

Scylla then flings the ball of water that she formed within her palm onto Cassandra's head. The water then transforms into a sphere that covers Cassandra from her hair down to her chest, and immediately Cassandra begins gasping for air as she begins to suffocate. Cassandra struggles for a few minutes before she passes away. Scylla walks away from Cassandra's corpse and exits the home. Unbeknownst to Scylla, Hellin had also been at the scene and witnessed her friend and ally coldly murder Cassandra. Hellin had received a text from Pranai, who was concerned about his mentor's safety and asked Hellin to check after her. Conflicting emotions erupted in her mind for a part of her knew she should have stopped Scylla from murdering Cassandra. At the same time someone like Cassandra didn't deserve to live. Hellin herself had killed indiscriminately, so she wasn't exactly in the position to berate Scylla for taking a life. Hellin had witnessed Scylla kill many times before, but those were on missions against wicked beings; hence they were justified. This time, though, Scylla had taken the life of someone who wasn't deemed a threat to society but solely an individual. Still, Hellin knew not only what her friend did was wrong but even worse. Scylla's actions in Cassandra's home would now deem her as a witch! A name for a sage who has fallen from grace or uses their magic for selfish purposes. Still, Hellin had no intentions of turning her friend over to the authority, nor would she dare tell Onyx or anyone else what she had witnessed this very night. Instead, Hellin planned on cleaning whatever evidence that would possibly lead Nigeria's authorities to discover Scylla was Cassandra's killer. Once certain that not even Nigeria's best investigators, both magical and non-magical would be able to know for certain that it was Scylla who killed Cassandra. Hellin took her leave back to her home realm, the Underworld. Of course, she already knew at some point she was going to have to confront Scylla about this very matter.

The next day it was plastered all over the news that Cassadra Adesina had been murdered by an unknown water sage. Queen Adama, along with her son, Prince Trevyn spoke to the media about this unfortunate incident involving the media personality and said that they would do their best to bring her killer to justice. Scylla finally returned home a few hours later in Greece and greeted her parents whom she lived with, before heading back to her room. Exhausted from everything that had transpired that night, as she got ready to lie down. Scylla didn't once regret taking Cassandra's life but did wish she did things more calculated instead of acting on instincts. Realizing that she didn't exactly clean up any trail that would lead Nigeria's investigators to discover that she was in Cassandra's home the night she died. Scylla wondered had someone else had been on the scene that also wanted Cassandra gone. Regardless, Scylla had killed before, and Cassandra was just another vermin that she washed from existence. Scylla then texted Nadiya, simply saying, "You don't have to worry anymore. Talk to you later, and be well". Scylla then lay naked in her bed as she awaited an inevitable text from her comrades to fight yet another evil.

FORBIDDEN - Battle Stories Vol. 1

 FORBIDDEN - Battle Stories Vol. One

By Onyxe Blade

Within the seventh level of The Underworld, the home realm of demons and other tainted beings. Tasked by Lady Johanna, the Demon Warlord of Pride and leader of the other Demon Warlords, Hellin Strongs could be seen donning her custom made red body suit that she received from her friend Princess Lea Stallard a few months prior. Hellin has been ordered to deal with a barnacle type demon named Colesta (Pronounced CO-LEE-STA). The demon Colesta has been feeding on the life force of the ancient giant demon tortoise of the seventh level of The Underworld. While it's only natural for demons to attack one another for various reasons, such actions against the ancient giant demon tortoise is forsaken and demons violating such rules must be harshly deal with. Upon arriving at the location of the demon tortoise, Hellin spots her target. A naked palish-green skinned demon with scales and barnacle features around her arms, abdomen, and thighs. Witnessing the demon tortoise's life force being drained by Colesta, Hellin swings her blonde hair out from her face as she conjures up a fireball in her left palm. Immediately Hellin hurls her fireball towards Colesta. While focused on feeding on the demon tortoise, Colesta senses the incoming attack and swiftly moves out of harm's way. Seeing her attacker across from her. 

Colesta: Wretched bitch! How dare you interrupt my feeding? I will kill you!

Hellin: Shut the fuck up you loathsome cunt! Don't you have any fucking shame? Attacking the sacred giant tortoise of our home realm? 

Colesta: Shame? Why would I feel shame for doing what comes natural to a demon? Furthermore, who are you to judge me? Daughter of Queen Othello! How many shameful acts does your mother perform on a daily basis?

Hellin: I'll rip your fucking head off if you mention my mother in such a manner again.

Colesta: Isn't that what you came here to do anyways. So why would I even bother mincing my words against you, Princess?

Hellin: You would have received a more dignified death before but now that you pissed me off! The death you'll receive will be anything but dignified.

Wasting no time, Colesta releases a turquoise colored acidic spray from her body towards Hellin. Easily dodging the enemy's attack, Hellin counters by blasting several fireballs towards Colesta. Quickly, Colesta unleashes a yellowish green foam substance from the pores of her body. The foam quickly hardens into a solid ball and protects against Hellin's fiery attack. Intrigued by her opponent's orthodox form of battle. Hellin decides to use her telepathic powers, not to take control of Colesta's mind but in order to get a better understanding of the target's combat capabilities. After all, if Hellin wanted to make this quick she could have already mentally enforced her will onto Colesta. Instead she wants to enjoy destroying her opponent with sheer force. Seconds later, Colesta breaks out from her created defense. Now with a more demonic and grotesque form than her prior appearance, the barnacle demon stares ferociously at Hellin with the desire to annihilate her. Hellin stares back with an unbothered expression on her face upon seeing Colesta's full demonic form, knowing full well this battle is about to end before it even started

Colesta: You stupid bitch! I'm going to drain the very fucking life out of your body but first... I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU WISH YOU NEVER CAME TO EXISTENT!!! TIME TO DIE!!!

Colesta charges at Hellin with the spores on her body, sprouting out several tentacles like appendages ready to strike. Hellin responds by igniting both of her hands in blueish yellow flames and leaping into the air. Colesta manipulates her tentacle-like appendages to strike the airborne Hellin, but fails to strike her as Hellin moves towards her like a torpedo. Colesta attempts to create a defensive foam around her body once again. Before she has the chance, Hellin crashes on top of her and pins her down in a provocative position

Hellin: Time to put an end to this.

Colesta: Yes for you!

Colesta release a toxin from the holes of her body onto Hellin but is horrified upon realizing her poison has no effect on the Princess. Hellin looks down at her with an amused wicked smile.

Hellin: Did you try to poison me? Oh you poor stupid bitch! I would explain why such tactics are useless against me but you lived long enough. Time to die!

Using her fiery infused fist, Hellin starts mercilessly beating on Colesta until she is no more. Afterwards Hellin checks on the Giant Demon Tortoise and ensure that he is alright, Now with her mission completed she makes her way back home to Babylon.

Meanwhile in Mayland, a place in the Mortal Realm, the home of both magical and normal humans, beasterians, orcs, fairies, goblins, and other unique beings, news of a fiery entity attacking unsuspecting citizens around Arundel and the Royal Lands has reached Mayland's current ruler, King Onyx. After collecting information on the various attacks, Onyx and his Royal Guards--particularly Yura Mikan-- have discovered that this fiery entity was none other than a Soucouyant, a terrifying being known through Caribbean Folklore that can shapeshift from a woman to a ball of fire. Initially Onyx considered to have Hellin, Orsela, and Scylla handle it. However, Yura demanded of her King to allow her to handle this matter. As night falls, a fiery entity is sneakily floating around The Royal Lands in search of its next victim. A blizzard suddenly appears from out of nowhere and hits the fiery entity. Immediately, the entity transforms into an African looking woman with long black hair and wearing a brown cloak. The blizzard ceases and appears a Japanese woman with short white hair and dressed in a black custom business suit. The Japanese woman stares at the shapeshifter with her cold icy blue eyes but her posture is relaxed. The Japanese woman then began to speak

Yura: So, you're the Soucouyant that's been causing trouble in Arundel and The Royal Lands?

Soucouyant: Ho- How did you track me down?

Yura: Your pattern was too predictable, but even if you were more clever it would not have mattered. I excel at always finding my target and you're no exception.

Soucouyant: Overly confident snake! You may be strong, but you will share the same fate as my other victims.

The Soucouyant transforms into a fiery humanoid being and lunges straight towards Yura. Without much effort, Yura dodges the Soucouyant's ferocious strikes, merely toying with her opponent using her advanced ninjutsu based movements. Angered, the Soucouyant says to Yura "Stop running away you coward!" as she continues trying to strike Yura.

Yura: Are you upset that you actually have to earn your kill instead of sneaking up on unsuspecting victims? I have no intentions of making this easy for you. Now foul creature show me what you're really capable of?

Soucouyant: Oh you're starting to piss me off with that belittling voice of yours. I would have preferred to feast upon your blood but burning you alive will have to suffice.

The Soucouyant, while in her flamed humanoid state, holds out both of her hands and unleashes a stream of fire towards Yura. The stream of fire moves at lightning speed and before Yura could make an attempt to run, her body is blasted by the flames. Soucouyant watches as the arrogant woman is being burned alive. Or so it seemed. Transforming back into her human form, the Soucouyant wears a perverse smile as she watches Yura being burned alive, blissfully unaware of the fact that she wasn't fighting the actual Yura but instead her shadow clone. Suddenly, the Soucouyant cries out in agonizing pain as she is struck from behind her back by an icy sharp object. Falling to the ground as blood drips down from her body, the Soucouyant turns her head and sees Yura standing over her looking ominously with a blade shaped icicle in her hand. The Soucouyant says in a shocked manner "Ho-- how are you here when I just burned you? What are you?"

Yura: Did you really think something like you would be able to kill me so easily? I awaited in the shadows while you fought my clone the entire time. I used my blizzard I created earlier to create my clone before hiding myself. Waiting for the right moment to finish you off! Now it's time for me to put an end to you.

Soucouyant: PLEASE WAIT?! I'm sorry for what I did and I deserve to be punished. However, isn't killing against the moral code against a hero like yourself? Truly you wouldn't actually kill me?

Yura: Hmph! You're funny. I do not subscribe to such a code and I personally think only fools spare the lives of monsters. No mercy was granted to any of your five victims which included a young boy. It only seems fair to give you the same treatment as you have given those you have harmed. Now choose your final words carefully for they will be your last!

Yura kills the Soucouyant by decapitating her head. Yura then calls Onyx via cellphone and asks her King to teleport to her location and bring her back to the castle.

Two days later after Yura had executed the Soucouyant, Onyx had received yet another unwelcome visit from his alternate universe self, Unloyal with a task from him. Normally Onyx wouldn't bother assisting Unloyal with anything since it was either trouble or straight up waste of his time. However after Unloyal explained to him about a situation in Earth 97 about a young soon-to-be King named Chiazam needing help dealing with his bigoted father in order to ensure a safe future for himself and the kingdom he is to inherit. Onyx, while empathetic to the strife of LGBTQ folks throughout the various universes, did not once again wish to burden himself with problems from worlds not of his own. Unloyal mentioned a particular journal that the soon-to-be King held that belonged to his late mother which Unloyal revealed was an alternate of them as well; the information was convincing enough that Onyx would want to read the contents of said journal should he could only obtain should he accept this task. Reluctantly Onyx agreed but warned Unloyal that he would kick his ass himself if this turned out to be bullshit! Having made up his mind to go to Earth 97 to meet with Prince "Unloyal calling him the soon-to-be King felt totally unnecessary but whatever". Of course before doing so, Onyx had used a technique called Psych Trace which allowed him to temporarily copy Unloyal's world jumping abilities. Bringing his best friend and right hand man, James Del Soto with him for both protection and company. The two of them would go to Earth 97 to meet with Prince Chiazam

Upon arriving to the foreign universe and after going through the proper channels. Both Onyx and James finally met face to face with Prince Chiazam, a tall and strong dark skin man dressed in regal red colored African attire. Shortly after Onyx and James would sit with Prince Chiazam in his private quarters and alongside the Prince was a butterscotch skinned muscular black male who were a similar outfit to Chiazam but purple instead of red. Without even having to rely on his telepathy, Onyx knew this man alongside Prince Chiazam was his lover. Chiazam's lover's name was Lolonyo. Unlike Prince Chiazam who possessed a domineering and prideful aura. His lover, Lolonyo possessed a strong but warm aura about him that made him seem very approachable. Onyx would have loved to get to know how they met and fallen in love but he wasn't here for such stories nor would he use his telepathy to invade their privacy. Because he already decided to alter the mind of Prince Chiazam's father, King Zuberi in order to ensure an easy transition of power for Chiazam. However Onyx was not acting off mere charity. Upon their discussion Onyx brought up the desire to have possession of Prince Chiazam's late mother's journal. Chiazam was stunned to see how much Onyx and his mother had resembled one another but he was equally surprised when he met Unloyal a few days prior. The Prince knew that Onyx wanted the journal in order to learn about his mother's knowledge concerning the ONYXVERSE. While heartbroken to have to part with the book his mother cherished. He understood that this was his part of the deal to ensure Onyx would deal with his bigoted father. In order that he can publicly be with Lolonya upon becoming King of his country. Onyx assured him that he'll take care of the journal and once he has absorbed the information with it. That he will someday return the book for Chiazam. In the meantime Onyx wished to return to his own world so set off to handle King Zuberi. Onyx told James to stay with the Prince and his lover until he returned. Shortly after completing his task by altering King Zuberi's mind on homosexuality. Onyx would use the remainder of Unloyal's powers and along with James and the journal return to his home world of Earth 135.

THE END 

FORBIDDEN - The Demon Of The Wedding

 FORBIDDEN - The Demon of the Wedding

Story By Onyxe Blade

It was 4:17 AM in Mayland as King Onyx rested peacefully in his bed. Suddenly, his eyes popped open and began to glow as he swiftly performed a spell that instantly covered his naked body in his usual wear. A portal opened into his bedroom and to both his relief and annoyance, it was none other than Unloyal, his alternate universe self wearing his signature purple and black colored wear. Onyx sighed to himself, knowing that utter bullshit was assured with Unloyal's arrival.

Onyx: Damn you, Logan! Why in the hell are you in my world once again?

Unloyal: Is that how you greet a fellow Onyx, you asshole!

Onyx: I guess it depends on the Onyx or Onyxe I would meet that exists in the Onyxeverse, but most certainly not you! Now what the fuck do you want from my life this time ? Make it fast cause Yura and James are already heading to my room.

Unloyal: I'll make it quick and simple then, although it hardly ever really is simple. Basically, I have a friend who resides in Earth 57 and I need to fuck up his wedding! Better yet, ruin his wedding and without his parents disowning him for being gay.

Onyx: Wait, what? Why would somebody be disowned for being gay? Being gay is normal.

Unloyal: In your universe it is, but there are many universes where a ugly thing called homophobia exists. I don't think you need to be a telepath to understand what I mean when I say "homophobia". So, are you gonna help a fellow Onyx out or not?

Onyx fully intended on answering Unloyal's question with a "yes". Before he could answer, both Yura and James arrived at his room. In mere seconds, another portal opened within Onyx's bedroom. None other than Hellin Strongs stepped out dressed in her typical combat wear. She sensed a disturbance within Onyx despite residing in the Underworld because of the mental connection they shared. Hellin felt neither joy nor anger seeing James and Yura in Onyx's room. Laying her eyes on Unloyal definitely caused rage to bubble up inside of her, knowing for certain whenever he appeared bullshit was to follow. Onyx sensing Hellin's anger, sent her a telepathic message to calm herself.

About A Half Hour Later

Unloyal, with Onyx's aid, explained the situation to Hellin, James, and Yura. Both James and Yura immediately rolled their eyes in annoyance because they felt Unloyal, yet again, was bothering Onyx with problems that didn’t even involve their world, and thus excused themselves. Meanwhile, Hellin remained in order to better grasp the situation.

Hellin: So, you have a friend in Thailand of Earth 57 who is being pressured to get married to a woman he doesn't love? Yet, he's doing this so his family doesn’t find out he's gay cause such a thing is taboo in that particular world?

Unloyal: You really are a smart cookie.

Hellin: I'll fucking murder you where you stand, you piece of shit!

Onyx: Temper, Hellin. Unloyal do not insult Hellin again unless you do not wish to return to your world. As a gay man myself, I sympathize with your friend's situation. At the same time, I made myself very fucking clear that I do not want to be bothered with problems that do not concern my world. Especially one as minuscule as a man marrying someone he doesn't love for his parents’ approval. My friends and I deal with real crises, not some television drama-like nonsense! So forgive me if I'm not gung-ho about traveling with you to another world to telepathically force two strangers into accepting their gay son. I don't use my telepathic powers to force people in my world on a mere whim nor do I fancy the idea of doing such to other beings from another world.

Unloyal: Don't fucking telepaths like you two use your powers all the time against the unwilling?

Hellin: To save fucking lives, and neutralizing assholes like yourself! Neither Onyx nor I use our telepathy on someone just so they can see things from our perspective. If that were the case, many of the politicians Onyx has to associate with wouldn't hate his guts for being a half-demon. And I wouldn’t have to tolerate half the shit I do if I just used my powers flippantly. Anyway, I cannot stand the sight of you and since Untrue isn't with you, I do not have to mince my words. However, since you've already disturbed us yet again, I will accompany you, instead of Onyx, to this world of your friend's to solve his dilemma. However, and I'm saying this in front of Onyx so you know I'm fucking serious: If you ever come to either him or me with such a bullshit nothing ass problem, considering the hell both he and I go through on a regular basis, I will fucking rip out your spine and beat you with it! Do I make myself clear, Unloyal?

Unloyal: Clear as my asshole after a good douching.

Hellin: You insufferable lowlife son-of-a---

Onyx: Make sure to heed Hellin's warning cause I definitely will not do anything to save you, Logan! Now open a portal to Earth 57 and make this a quick journey for Hellin and bring her back to me immediately after your business is handled. Otherwise, there's going to be one less Onyx existing within the Onyxeverse!

Unloyal stuck his tongue out at Onyx defiantly as he reluctantly grabbed Hellin's arm while opening a portal to Earth 57. The two instantly disappeared from Onyx's room as Onyx shook his head in annoyance. The portal opened and Hellin stepped outside and saw it was daylight in this particular world. Unloyal followed behind her as he closed the portal. The two arrived at Earth 57's Thailand near the venue where Unloyal friend's wedding was taking place. Hellin looked around with a rather despondent look on her face.

Unloyal: Welcome to Thailand of Earth 57. So, how does it feel to visit a world that’s not your own?

Hellin: This fucking place is gaudy as fuck! The Thailand of my universe easily supersedes anything this place has to offer. It looks so damn plain. Anyway, I didn't come here for sightseeing, but to stop a fraudulent wedding from happening. Using my telepathy, I sense all one thousand guests within that venue, not including the bride and groom. By the way, what is your friend's name?

Unloyal: His name is Theodore, but I call him Ted. He keeps saying call him "P'Ted" but I'm not trying to be bothered with all these Thai-based honorifics and shit. Don't ask me about his last name. I can't pronounce that shit to save my life. Anyway, that's not what's important cause we are here to stop a wedding.

Hellin: Agreed, but I do have one question and you better answer correctly. Why exactly do you care about stopping your friend's false wedding? Do you harbor feelings for him?

Unloyal: FUCK NO! I just want to see the disappointed look on both his and the bride's parents’ faces when they find out their children are LGBTQ.

Hellin: What? The bride is also gay?

Unloyal: The correct term is lesbian and, well, YES!

Hellin: So your fucking reason for stopping this wedding isn't to help Ted, but to get a rise out of seeing his and his "bride's" family's reaction? You really are a piece of shit!

Unloyal: My grandma refers to me as "Snuggles".

Hellin: What? Never mind! Let's get this over with, so I can return to my world and pretend this stupid situation never happened.

The wedding commenced as all guests awaited the arrival of the bride while the groom tried his best to hide his true feelings. He would rather be with his lover than forcing himself to marry his childhood friend in order to appease their parents. The bride appeared looking stunning as ever while also hiding her true feelings. The couple stood in front of each other as the Minister prepared to start the wedding ceremony. Everything came to a halt upon the arrival of Unloyal and Hellin. Everyone turned around to see the two strangers. The groom and bride recognized Unloyal, but the woman with him was also a stranger to them.

Ted: Logan... what the fuck?

Unloyal: Ted, you’ve been bitching to me these past few months about how you don’t want to get marry, so you can be with your true love, Sailom. Rejoice, my nagging friend, as I bring your and Maya's salvation in the form of a demon from another world.

Hellin: This wedding is cancelled!

Only a few guests could somewhat understand the words coming out of the foreigners’ mouths. Everyone else stared at them while feeling both clueless and angry that these strangers interrupted such a sacred day.

Unloyal: Oh yeah, this is where the telepathy part comes into play. These fuckers don't understand a lick of English, well most of them. So, I need you to do whatever you do and make them understand you.

Hellin: Of course.

Using her telepathic powers on everyone at the wedding, despite speaking English, the words that came out of Hellin’s mouth automatically translated to Thai.

Hellin: Ted and Maya are not in love with each other. They are only marrying each other to appease their families and everyone else in attendance. The truth of the matter is Ted is gay and Maya is a lesbian. They do not love each other the way you people here would desire. They would rather be with their true loves. Also, before anyone tries to object... I want you all to understand that I can kill literally all of you in here without so much as breaking a sweat.

Hellin changed her face from human form into demonic as she ignited small flames in her left palm. Unloyal ran over to where Ted and Maya stood, letting them know that despite Hellin's frightening appearance, she didn’t have any intention of killing anyone... hopefully.

Hellin: Now that you all are able to understand the words coming out of my mouth, I have a message specifically for Ted and Maya's parents. I do not give two fucks about your personal beliefs on homosexuality nor do I intend to force you to change your views. However, if you turn your back on your children for being themselves, I will make it my business to find you and give you the most painful death you could ever imagine. So, do take my warning to heart and make sure to love your children just as they are. Trust and believe, there are worse things they could be in life and being gay isn't one of them. Unless any of you wish to ever see me again, I highly suggest you all just make the most of this day and not allow whatever bigotry you have to affect your better judgment. Because while I do not take any pleasure preying on the weak, I do not tolerate any form of defiance once I have given my command; regardless to the fact that this is not my home world. Now that fucker in the purple and black hoodie is going to send me back to my world while you all handle this among yourselves. Remember, I will be back if I so much as hear a shred of disrespect towards either child for being themselves. Lastly, please do better with the architect of this place. It is so painfully dull.

Minutes later, a portal opened in the dinning room of Onyx's castle. Stepping out was none other than Hellin and, thankfully, only her. Onyx put his bowl of fresh fruits down and ran over and hugged her. 

Onyx: Thank goodness you're back and not a single hair out of place.

Hellin: You know damn well the only danger I faced was keeping myself from killing Unloyal. That fucker just wanted to cause drama. He had no real plan of helping his friend with his dilemma. Second thought, he did have enough sense to get you and me involved. Yet, it's disappointing to know there are worlds where homosexuality is a no-no or at least not as accepted. Thankfully, no such thing exists in our world.

Onyx: So now that you're back, feel like accompanying me to Paraben Town? I just received a report not too long ago of some witches causing trouble.

Hellin: After having to spend time around Unloyal, I'm definitely in the mood to beat the living shit out of something. Count me in!
