112. The Monster Emperor Part I ~Mother~

"They're all gone?" asked Anne.

"Genocide? Raptured? I don't know..." said Miguel, as he leaned backward and steepled his fingers while sitting on his chair.

"What do you think is the cause of this?" asked Anne.

"I don't know... I had some people from the Hellsing Organization to look into it," said Miguel.

"I have something to say about it," said someone who approaches Miguel at his table.

"Who let you in?" asked Miguel.

"I'll call security," said Anne.

"Anne... You are my security," said Miguel.

"Right," she went serious and brought out Sticky Fingers.

"I know who the Monster Emperor is," said the woman.

"And, who are you?" asked Miguel.

"I am Mariam Lance Avdol," she smiled. "And that is all you need to know.I know who the Monster Emperor is."

"And?" asked the pair.

She sneers. She is of African descent. She has dark skin but straight hair. She has large pinkish lips and beautiful yet angry eyes. She is 188 cm tall. She has red eyes and a sharp silvery smile.

Princess Bubblegum drops a thousand meters underground into the Music Hole using a grappling rope as she dropped down in the depths of it.

Musical stalagmites that shine like blue ornamental lamps and red fireflies that gave the cave some sort of illumination are seen in the caverns. Crystals that glowed green that sung to their heart's content are stickered from the entrance all the way to the Music Hole's stomach... There... Princess Bubblegum meets... him.

"Hello... Mother..."

He had grown. 182 cm. He is now much larger and no longer resembled a pterodactyl. Rather, his face morphed into more of a humanoid figure and is light green. He has a large muscular body and is buff. He has a cleft chin with two tusks sticking out from its sides. He has two long black horns sticking out from his forehead that curved upward. He has two Dragon-liked wings on the back. He also has a reptilian tail with two thorns on the end. He has a dark green torso made of insectoid shell and light green skin for his head. He also has light green skin for his six-fingered hands and six-toed feet (which are also hands), all having black claws sharpened from his fingers and toes.

He transforms into a horse humanoid, a Centaur. He galloped his two legs as he paced around Princess Bubblegum.

"Hello... Mother..." he spoke in a gruff, creepy, deep, and booming animalistic voice, almost sounding like growling.

"Hello, Dragon Fly."

He transforms into a Satyr, a goat humanoid, then a Minotaur, a bull humanoid.

He blows air from his nostrils. "What do you wish to speak to me about, Mother?"

"I wish for you to come home. You're supposed to be with me as my son."

"I am not your son!" he howled. He transformed into a Pigman, then a Taweret, a Hippo humanoid. Then he formed into an Airavata, an Elephant-like humanoid, and blew his trunk. "I am... a WEAPON that you forged from your irons...Your heart may be sweet and sugary on the outside, but you bleed ice and frost, Mother."

He transforms into a Lambman and baas. Then... a Unicorn. Then... a Pegasus...

"I am not beautiful... Mother... I am an insect-kt-kt-kt-kt-kt in this cruel world... Created by an uncaring... GOD!!!" he howled, as he transformed into a Myriad (Ant-like), Meliffer (Bee-like), Jorogumo (Spider-like) Jinnamuru Xunte (Fly-like) Khepri (Beetle-like) Itzapolopotl (Butterfly-like), Mothman (Moth-like), and Eos (Grasshopper-like).

Then he transforms into a Lamia (Snake-like), a Kappa (Turtle-like), a Gorgon (Snake-haired Humanoid), a Phoenix, a Thunderbird, an Eastern Dragon, and a Western Dragon.

"Or a Dragon that is slain in mythologiesssss...." he hissed.

"Dragon Fly, come home," said Princess Bubblegum.

"NO!!!" he howled. "Every day I wake up feeling a constant pain in my body and my mind... I step and it feels like needles piercing my feet every day. I touch and I feel a thousand burns scorching my skin and flesh. I am driven to feed on your peasants."

"You were designed to eat bad people," said Princess Bubblegum.

"People saw me and mistreated me... So I thought they were bad people... So I ate them, Mother," said the creature.

"I didn't think you'd gain sentience... Please... I promise I'll fix you!" said Princess Bubblegum with tears in her eyes.

"NO!!! You're going to put me BACK in that test tube and tear me apart and put me back together again as if I was a toy! I will not be returning to your care! IT WOULD BE THE LAST THING I WILL EVER DO, MOTHER!!!"

*tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik*

"You're destined to unite our worlds together as the true Emperor," said Princess Bubblegum, as she slowly brings out a gun from her pocket.

His eyes widen.

He woges into a Lycan and slices her hand off of her arm.

The gun falls on the ground and so does her hand.

She backs away in fear.

"You tried to kill me," his eyes went teary. "I say... Mother... You dared try to murder your own son... A daring accusation it is not... Because I know what you are... a murderer..."

"Please!" she sobbed.

"AND THERE WILL BE A CRY IN ALL OF THE CRYPTID'S HEARTS AS THEY PRAISE THEIR NEW RULER AND APEX PREDATOR!!! ALL HUMANS AND GRIMMS SHALL BE ENSLAVED UNDER MY NAME!!!I WILL BE A GOD, MOTHER!!!"

"Dragon Fly..." she sobbed, as she puts on her armor.

He whispers...

"Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord... Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord... Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord... Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord

I send a pestilence and plague... Into your house, into your bed... Into your streams, into your streets... Into your drink, into your bread... Upon your cattle, on your sheep... Upon your oxen in your field... Into your dreams, into your sleep... Until you break... until you yield...

I send the swarm, I send the horde... Thus saith the Lord..."

"DRAGON-FLY!!!" she yelled, backing away and preparing her blasters.

"I send the thunder from the sky...I send the fire raining down... On every field, on every town... I send the locusts on a wind... Such as the world has never seen... On every leaf, on every stalk... Until there's nothing left of green...

I send my scourge, I send my sword... Thus saith the Lord..."

*PEW PEW PEW*

She blasts her candy beams toward Dragon Fly. He regenerates easily.

He leaps toward her.

He hisses like a snake and transforms into a Lamia as he begins suffocating her and destroying her suit.

She blasts his body in half with her repulsor cannon as she flies away. She leaves the hole, revealing a now-dead Music Hole.

Note: Music Hole is the hole she went in. It's a sentient hole and a character in Adventure Time that I... just killed off.

He roars as his voice echoes in the darkness.

He gasps for breath as he almost immediately regenerated. He slowly stood right back up and licked the tip of his fingers. He looks up at Princess Bubblegum who is now up in the sky.

"I send my scourge, I send my sword... Thus saith the Lord...

Thus saith the Lord...

I send the swarm, I send the horde...Thus saith the Lord...

...Thus... saith... the... Lord..." he whispered, as darkness engulfs him and his yellow eyeballs with snake-like pupils stare and squint at his "Mother."
