Chapter 23 - Big Brain Play.

3 days later at the queen's castle.

"Mom do you know when my friend will return?"

"I couldn't tell you, Anna...I'm sure he'll be back."

"...Ok."

Meanwhile somewhere else in an alley.

"We need to do it tonight. The queen shall rule no more." A royal said, smiling cheek to cheek.

"We'll start the plan, father." They both chuckled.

Meanwhile in Anna's room...

"Aw man, I'm so bored..." Anna said plopping down on her bed and buried her face in a pillow. Then she looked over and saw Toyomo in her window.

"My bad, were you asleep?"

"No, please come in."

Toyomo hopped in.

"You know, you could have used the front door." Anna sat up on her bed.

"Yeah I know but I wanted to see if I could guess which room was yours."

"So whatcha doin today?" Toyomo asked.

"I have dinner tonight with other royals."

"You don't sound too happy about it."

"That's because one of the royals that are coming always gives off a creepy aura and he always stares at my mother weirdly."

"Well, maybe I can join your dinner party or whatever."

"You wouldn't mind doing that Toyomo? These dinners can be boring."

"Of course I don't mind. I get free food and we get to hang out." Toyomo had a big goofy smile.

"I would be happy to bring you along with me," Anna said smiling back.

"Hey how bout me and you get out of here for a little I take you to meet my friends properly."

"Hmm, Ok! But we have to be back soon."

"Don't worry Anna we'll be quick. Get on my back." Toyomo crouched down.

She got on and Toyomo got a good grip on her then jumped out the window and landed on a roof then started running.

"This is kinda fun!" Anna said smiling.

Toyomo smiled and sped up.

After a little, they made it to the bar.

Toyomo walked in with her still on his back.

"Yo! Guys!" Toyomo said, calling Eddy and Earza over.

"Hey, what's up?" Eddy asked.

"Nothing much. Just wanted you to properly meet Anna. Because last time you didn't really get a chance."

Anna stood out a lot because she had a princess dress on.

"Oh, what's up Anna, I'm Eddy,"

"And I'm Earza nice to meet you." Earza bowed a bit.

"Nice to meet you both as well." Anna got off Toyomo's back and bowed as well.

"Hey, Anna, do you think these 2 could come to dinner with us?"

"I don't mind. I would have to tell mother though."

"You guys feel like going out to dinner?" Toyomo asked.

"Of course I want free food," Eddy said.

"Yeah, I'll go too," Earza said.

"Alright, then we better head back before they notice you're gone, Anna."

Anna Nodded then got on his back then they ran out.

"...Wasn't that the princess?" Ilet said to himself but act like he saw nothing.

Back in Anna's room.

"Alright let's head to the throne room to speak to my mother."

They headed downstairs into the throne room.

And there her mom sat on her throne.

"Oh, Hello Anna. Looks like your friends are here."

"Hello, mother. I was wondering if I could bring my friends to dinner tonight."

"They can come. And also Stalin and his son will soon be here soon so we will be greeting him."

"Is that the creepy guy you were talking about?" Toyomo whispered to Anna.

"Yeah" She whispered back.

"What are you two whispering about?" The queen asked.

"That's a secret," Anna said.

Then suddenly a maid walked in.

"My queen, They are here."

"Thank you, we'll be out in a second."

The queen got off her throne and they all walked out to greet them.

"Hello, there my queen," Stalin said, waving. He looked to be in his late 40's with blond hair.

And his son looked 23.

"Hello and welcome." The queen said.

"Who are these little children?" The son said, looking at Toyomo's group.

"These are my friends Sancule," Anna said, trying to be as friendly as possible.

"Friends? Well then nice to meet you all."

"Sup" Toyomo said grinning.

Eddy and Earza waved.

"Are they commoners?" Stalin whispered to the queen.

"Yes, and they will be joining us for dinner tonight." The queen kept her smile on.

"These dudes are giving off a nasty aura...I'm gonna have to keep my eyes on them." Toyomo thought to himself.

They all walked into the lounge and sat down.

"We are waiting for my brother to get here then we can begin." The queen announced as she kept her smile.

They all sat there in awkward silents for a little.

"So...Anybody do anything interesting lately?" Eddy said, trying to make small talk.

"I've just been running around a lot lately. Comes with being a royal. How bout you commoner?" Stalin said to Eddy.

Eddy looked a little irritated from being called a commoner like he was below them.

"We don't really do much. We work for money and we survive." Eddy responded, calming down.

"What did I expect from a Commoner? Nothing interesting." This guy was pissing Eddy off.

"What do you do while running around? It must be really interesting." Toyomo stepped in before Eddy exploded.

"Well, I take care of business, making deals and such."

"Wow sounds like you play an important role in this kingdom."

Stalin smiled cockily.

"Well, what about you? Anything interesting about you?" Toyomo asked Sancule.

"Well with me being the most beautiful in the kingdom I often have to break girls' hearts. It hurts to see them hurt but it is what I must do." Sancule was a snobby ass.

"A lady's man. So do you have an interest in anybody?" Toyomo asked.

"There is one woman but I shall not tell."

Eddy was holding everything back from jumping over the table and punching this guy in his face.

"Hey everybody." A man walked in with an army suit on.

"Brother Chad finally arrived." The queen looked excited.

"It's been too long since I've seen you, Maddy." This was the queen's brother. He was tall and looked strong.

He came in and took a seat.

"So what's on the menu?" Chad's voice had so much base. He's a chad.

"The food should be ready. They'll bring it in." Right as the queen said that. Maids and butlers came in with Fancy dishes and trays with tops and them uncovering them as they set them down.

"Oh man, this just made my day."

"Your drooling Eddy," Toyomo said.

The maids began putting food on their plates.

"Thank you." Toyomo and his group said to the maids.

"Wait, who are yall?" Chad asked the group.

"They are my friends," Anna said.

"Wow, Anna I didn't even notice that was you. You've gotten older."

Eddy was stuffing his face with food.

"Can I get another plate?" Eddy asked with his mouth full.

"You really got a stomach!" Chad laughed.

Eddy just smiled and started eating again.

"Commoners eat like pigs," Stalin groused as he looked down on Eddy again.

Eddy stopped for a second and just looked Stalin right in his eyes. And started eating again without breaking eye contact.

"So Chad, have any interesting stories?" Maddy leaned in.

"Well...when I was on the front lines I fought a giant gorilla. He ended up beating me up real good. But I end up coming out on top."

"Wow, So your pretty strong," Toyomo said.

"You have to be when you're a soldier."

"Me and my friends are pretty tough," Toyomo said, taking a bite of his food.

"Oh really? Are you as strong as those new bounty hunter kids I've been hearing so much about?"

"Those bounty hunter kids?"

"Yeah, from what I hear they are powerful kids. They are called The 3 heavenly demons."

"Wow, so people have come up with a name for our group." the group thought to themselves.

"These kids sound pretty badass. I think I would like to meet them one day." Toyomo spoke as if he wasn't the kid himself. Toyomo rubbed his finger on the table weirdly as they spoke to each other.

"I would too. Seems like an interesting group."

"I wonder why Toyomo is trying to act like we aren't them. I guess we should just play along." Earza thought to herself.

After dinner...

"That was goood." Eddy had 7 cleared plates in front of him.

"Well, that was delicious. I'm got to get some rest for tomorrow." Chad yawned.

"Ok Chad goodnight." Matty looked a little sad.

Chad got up and walked out.

"What a shame I was hoping he would stay to drink this liquor I brought," Sancule said Pulling dark liquor from his small bag.

"I want everybody to take a shot. Kids you need to know the taste of liquor so even you will have some." Stalin grinned.

"That's fine with us," Toyomo said before anybody could answer.

"Good!" Sancule poured everybody a shot.

"Cheers." They all said then drank.

Everybody started to feel woozy then one by one they fell asleep.

Stalin and Sancule spit out the liquor.

"We did it, father!"

"Yes, we did. Now all you got to do is carry the princess back to her room and I carry the Queen to her room and we can say we got drunk and had sex with them and they got pregnant." Stalin said with an evil look on his face.

They picked the girls up and carried them to their rooms.

Then Toyomo sat up and spit the liquor out his mouth. And he looked pissed. He got up and ran out the door and right behind him was Chad.

"You got to the queen, I got the princess!" Toyomo told him as they ran together. Then they split up.

Toyomo ran up to Anna's room and burst open the door. And he saw Anna laid on the bed and Sancule in his boxers. Why are there so many creeps in the damn universe!

"W-what you're supposed to be asleep!" Sancule Said panic.

"You really thought your dumbass plan was going to work?" Toyomo said as his eyes dimmed.

"Heh! No matter! You are a child what can you possibly do?"

Toyomo ran at him and slapped some of... a lot of the skin off his chest.

Sancule looked down at his chest and was about to yell out of pain but Toyomo hit him in his throat. Then he grabbed him by a large amount of his hair and pulled and tore his hair out along with some of his skin. Then kicked him in his balls and crushed them.

"You are worse than dirt. At least dirt can make beautiful trees and flowers...But you, You're so low just seeing your face makes me want to burn you alive." Toyomo stepped on both of Sancule's legs and broke them.

"...I wonder if Chad is done yet,"

Meanwhile, at Chads little beat down...

Stalin was on the verge of death and a lot of his bones were broken.

"...That kid. He knew that this was going to happen..." Toyomo grabbed Sancule arm and dragged him out of the room leaving a blood trail. He and Toyomo ended up meeting in the hallway. Toyomo was dragging Sancule by the hair he had left.

"...Good thing you signaled me," Chad smiled.

"It was nothing...I guess we should take them to get healed just enough so they don't die. And we'll have them put in jail." Toyomo said. Chad nodded then they walked and left them in the Health room and left. Then waited on the roof as the sun came up until everybody woke up.

When they woke up Stalin and Sancule were already being taken to jail. They're gonna treat them good there...Anyway, they gather everybody into the queen's room to explain what happened.

"So I knew something was off about the guys when I first saw them. And I saw the drink poking out of his bag. I recognized that bottle from the bar and the liquor was supposed to be clear...But it was dark. That's when I knew not to drink anything they offered." Toyomo explained.

"But how did Chad know?" Matty asked.

"When Chad first walked in I tapped my one finger on the table and focused some Iracuj at him so he paid attention to my finger and I spelled it out on the table, "leave after dinner and wait outside the room and listen." And that's what he did then you know the rest." Toyomo explained.

"Dang, you were making moves before I even knew the game started," Eddy nodded.

"Wow, such a smart young man. Thank you for saving me. Is there anything you want?" Metty asked.

"Can you get me a house? I'm really tired of sleeping on top of roofs." Toyomo said grinning.

"I can do that."

"Wow really!? Thanks a million!"

"Yes! No more sleeping on rooftops!" Eddy said, hugging Earza.

"Well, I guess we should tell even though you've probably figured out by now that we are The 3 heavenly demons. Even though we didn't come with the name I think it's pretty cool." Toyomo said.

"Oh, so I suspected right! You guys are the kids who have become B rank hunters!" Chad was amazed.

"Wow...I really had no clue and it was kinda obvious..." Anna thought to herself.

"Well we got to go hunt for a little while but we'll be back," Toyomo said walked toward the door.

"Let's do this guys!"

See you next time space cowboy...
