"Hello Yumeko." Suika said, spotting the blond demonss coming up to you all.

Yumeko glared "Why are you giving the PRISONER Sake?!" she snapped, stressing Suika's status.

"As long as she can keep herself well-behaved and not provoke an action that could cause harm to the daikijin of the makai, she's going to get paid for her obediantance in booze. A price to pay for the sake of the one Queen Shinki is going to wed to be kept safe."

Yumeko frowned but nodded curtly. If it kept you safe, she'd allow it. She walked over and knelt in front of Suika's stomach.

"How is Mailady's fiancee?" the blade-throwing maid asked, directing the question at you.

"Well enough. Just two visions that I'll need to take up with Shinki about, other than that, I'm binding my time until there's a way out." you respond.

Yumeko stood at attention at that. "Very well M'lord, I shall fetch Lady Shinki at once." he said and dashed off.

Hold up...she's getting Shinki so you can talk about those visions NOW?! Well...nothing you can do about it, you suppose, and it'd be pointless to beat around the bush with this anyways.

Not so much asan hour later, Shinki stood before the captive Oni and looked down to Suika's stomach, and you saw her looking toward you. Your gazes met as her light blue eyes seemed to turn everythng between you two as clear as glass as her eyes locked on you once again. You knew she truely was seriouse about marrying you now.

"Yes my love, what were these visions of yours that concern us?" she asked fondly.

"I want the attack on Gensokyo called off. One of my visions was of an angelic version of myself and I doing battle against one another. I have no intentions of squandering Makai's forces by dealing with humans."

"Very well, my beloved. One cannot be too careful when dealing with either parallel beings or those angelic wretches, an angelic parallel of any demon is aweful enough, but for there to be one of daikijin of the makai is truely something to be weary of." Sjinki said with a nod, seeing how risking loosing any your two's forces before the potental battle with an angle would be a desaster.

"And my other vision was of...umm...how can I put this...?" You say, rubing the back of your neck "The three of us..."

"Three?" Shinki repeated, then her eyes hardened into a glare "Is there another deomness?!"

"Well...the answer to that is yes and no...." you start to say, only to be cut off by your bride-to-be.

"I'LL HAVE HER HUNG!!!" Shinki roared.

"Easy! Calm down! It was of us and our daughter Alice!" you shout quickly. As soon as she hears that, Shinki's rage vanishes and she's left stunned. She stares at you, wide eyed.

"Our da....da...dau...daughter?! A family?!" she stutters, her face turning rosey and she cvered her cheeks with her hands to hide them to be sure they don't give away her being flustered at the idea anymore than they already have.

Sariel, Suika, Elis, Yuugenmagan, and Yumeko all stared, wide-eyed and gaping in shock at the news that their Queen was eventually going to be a mother.

"La...Lady Shiniki" Yumeko said, claping her hands over her mouth and tears of blood flowed from ther eyes before she ran up and enveloped her mistress in a hug "CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!"

"GET OFF!" Shinihi roared "YOU FOOLS!!! IF MY FIANCEE'S VISIONS COME TO PASS, THEN WE'VE GOT TO KILL THAT ANGEL FIRST! I WILL NOT STAND FOR MY DAUGHTER TO BE STRIPPED OF HER BIRTHRIGHT AS MY HEIRESS TO THE THRON OF MAKAI, AND SHE CAN'T TAKE IT IF THERE IS NO MAKAI FOR HER TO RULE OVER!"

The maid let go instanly and realized that was true.

"Get our Legions their new orders! I don't care about Gensokyo! We're going angle-hunting!! Yumeko! Get on the scrying portl and search for an Arch-Angle Lord whose power is perfectly equil and opposit of my groom's!"

Yumeko was gone at lightspeed-class levels and back again. "The armies are awayting the locationg we're heading to, my queen!"

"Good." Shinki said and ascryin portal opened in front ofyou all and showedwhere yu'd be heading.

You watch as an image appeared in the portal and you see...Boos? What the heck? One Boo in particluar stands out. Lady Bow from Paper Mario. n fron of her stood tatangel-version of yourself from your vision.

"Gimme that stupid book!" Bow snatched it out of his hands and started reading it through, "...muhmuhmuh ritual... blah blah blah concentrate... yipyipyip angel... wait a second!" Suddenly, Bow raised her eyebrow, "I recognize this handwriting! UGH!!! This is Shadow Queen's writing!! Jealous bitch played a trick on me AGAIN!! YOU IDIOTS!!" Bow freaked yet again and smacked one of the cultists upside the head with the book! "HOW COULD YOU NOT RECOGNIZE SHADOW QUEEN'S HANDWRITING?! SHE'S THE ONLY GHOST THAT STILL DOTS HER I'S WITH SMILEY FACES WITH TONGUES STICKING OUT!!"

"The...Shadow Queen...?" Shinki repeats, her eyebrow twitching. "THAT SLUT DOMINATRIX CREATED MY BELOVED'S COUNTERPART?!" she shouted, power flairing around her and the demonic power of the crimson/purple energy rose high into the air. It formed into a demonic creature of epic proportions with demonic wings before it let out a mighty roar that shook the ground. As it did, a sudden earthquake struck Makai, hundreds of Demons were out in mass panic. Lightning, thunder, and fireballs rained from the sky, causing massive outbreaks of fire while the ground cracked, letting molten lava to spill across the streets.

If you dn't think of somehing, your soon-to-be wife is going to leave nothing for your future daughter to rule over!

"Hold on...There ARE quite a few...unpleasent individuals thre, corenct? And they'd give ANYTHING to see the mushroom Kingdom fall right, even their souls?" you ask.

Shinki pauses for a moment and thinks on that, her power receeding back into her body. A wide, wicked grin spreads across her face "Indeed Love...we could use that to our advantage quite easily..." she said with a small cackle, before whipping around and facing Sariel, Suika, Elis, Yuugenmagan, and Yumeko.

"You five! Ready the Hell Gate and fetch a demonic blood contract! We're heading to the Koopa Kingdom!" she announces.

"At once your majesty!" they instantly reply in perfect in unison and scatter to get ready to take the trip. With her servants gone, Shinki turned to Suika and grabbed the Oni by her horns, pulling them so Suika and her were directly face to face

"You're coming with us seeing as my love is still forced to inhabit your bowls." Shinki said with a soft, oniumis tone that made Suika whimper fearfully.

A short while later, all eight of you (counting everyone) are in front of a huge blood red gate with two black-boned skeletons adorning them with countless armed demons standing behind you.

"Onward! To the demise of an Arch-Angel Lord!" Shinik announced, getting a cheer of bloodlut-filled delight from the demons behind you and the gates open and the five of you and the demonic army behind you go throght the Hell Gate and you all emerge in front of Bowser's castle.

"BOWSER!!! I, SHINKI OF MAKAI, COME TO BARGAIN!" Shinik shouted and Bowse came out t see the demonic army at his doorstep.

"What is this?!" the fire-breathing turtle roared.

"I come offering you the use of my army, to use as you pleae to destroy your enemies. But you must in turn lend me your force's aid to defeat the one I've come here to kill. It's all in the contract." Shinki said, handing the scroll to Bowser.

Bowseropened thecontract and got a cut on the claw from the hidden, microscopic blades in the paper that onlya demon could touch without risking injury, a drop ofblood landed on the line for te signiture adShinki smirked. Now If Boswer refused, he'd die and his soul, as well as that of his minions werebound to Shinki's will forever.

Shruggingoff the cut, Bowser read the contract "Demonic army killingMario and leveling the Mushroom Kingdom...I confess I like the sound of that." he said with a grin.

"Well Bowser...Do we have a deal?" Shinki purred softy with narrow eyes, knowin she'dalready gotten what she wantedand tat shewon no matter what, such was a deal wih the devil.
