My good gentlemen, it is that time again. Though I regrettably inform you that this will be a touch different.

Dear Faefnir's story does not yet end here, though for now- I must bring it to a close.

Previously, Between he and his dearestr darling, Madeleine, a schism had been born over some circumstance or another. I had been informed most courteously of the wretched devil queen's presence, and our very own Morgan sought to work upon Faefnir and Madeleine's compromised systems.

What the far-future holds, I could only guess at...

>Akuma Quest: Last Thread
>>
"The Devil Queen, or the Black Queen, whichever fits better."

The Doctor stares at you for a moment, seemingly expectant of something. Something more.
"I see. Devil Queen is hardly an appropriate name. Whoever would name themselves that?" The Doctor resumes his posture, imperiously straight and proper, a hearty and disarming laugh even takes its place within the ruined castle.
"Well then, as it is I see no reason to worry much of it. Another evil's taken reign into this world and our warpath against god carries on with an enemy of an enemy."

You and Maddie are silent at that, yet the Doctor seems not to take notice," Come then, Alice, Maashiima, we have things that we must be getting to. The Crimsons survived that freak Avalanche after all. Blasted mages."

Maashiima smiles at you as the other two turn to leave," I've heard that one of you seems to have had an intimate relationship with Innocence, perhaps you'd like to do something with this?" He raises up the head of the Red Queen," It seems to have become dormant without its host. A gift of good faith if you will. You may have the honor of completing my kill." A smile extends across his faith, ear to ear as he tosses the head over to Maddie, who catches it by the hair.
"Farewell Bondomu, I do hope that the two of you aren't quite so useless in the future, a pity that you could not have done more." The three vanish at that with Maashiima's parting words. Flames gush from your nostril exhausts at your growing fury.
How dare he... How dare that bastard. Claiming YOUR glory. Then again... It is true. You touched not a hair upon the Red Queen's head. He's the one that took it.

Morgan looks up to you, and then to the rest of your family,"I suppose I have some work to do. I'd like to examine them as well, if you would let me."
>>
Alright. Let's do this. NO REGRETS!
>>
The three of you retire to chambers that might have once been a royal bedroom. Lost its former glory, it is nothing but a burnt and blackened chamber, charred curtains, invading rubble and a considerably sized hole that must have once been a window, and more recently a door for a blackened rock flung from an engine of war.
Lucky shot it must have been.

At Morgan's bidding, a table is brought in from the other wound by hand of the children and Armbrust, whom eyes Morgan warily, giving her not a word. Oh what you would have given to know the inner workings of his mind as well as you had known Madeleine's.

Morgan beds you lay, and so you do, under her eye and Maddie's scrutiny.
"An eye on you I'll be keeping." a stern mutter from Maddie's breath.
A regretful glance away from Maddie's eyes, and Morgan sets to work, opening you up.

_________________________________

After some time of poking about with various tools concealed within her robes, Morgan admits that she's found the issue.

"The two of you yield no despair from your cores. It seems- rather that your Noah Memory has invaded the minds of your hosts, and thus committed them to joy from your glorious misdeeds.

I suppose, the matter then of course is to reroute the despair transformer, augment the pain matrix, jury-rig it to collect yielded dark matter, and... and...." She trails off, seeming rightly perturbed, and thinking deeply upon something.

"Well?" Madeleine demands," What is it?"

Morgan stares down at your open chassis, seeming to contemplate something with the dullness in her eyes.
"There's two ways to fix this. An optimal one, and then... The other, less than."

"Explain." You gurgle out through an exposed voice box, like the scrape of metal upon metal.
>>
"I.. Well, I could fix it so that you gain power from the joy of the Noah within you. However, joy is not what begets dark energy. It would give you room to evolve still.. Though it would be finite, and could even hinder what abilities you have as a Noah."
She pauses, letting that fact sink in.

"And the other?" Madeleine stares keenly upon Morgan, clearly not liking where this is going.

Morgan rises, looking down upon your chassis, a smile slowly expanding over her lips,"The other method, would be to give the host soul control. It would be optimal for it is Noah, and the memory would subvert the need for dark energy. Like all Noah, the power your body would possess, would then be complete."

"Give control... To Claire?" Another iron gurgle from you, hesitant for what the words should mean.
"What would, happen to me, to us?"

Morgan's eyes do not waver at your words, nor does the smile leave.
"It is a choice between a limit to your power, or the most perfect form that Adam could have ever envisioned." Her voice rolls over with her savoring every word of the latter part. Morgan's eyes seem to start glazing over with the madness of her Noah Memory...

>"Very well... Make me perfect."
>"No. This is mine. You... You will not take this from me!"
>>
Good show Duke, it was a pleasure having you
>>
>>27764795
Well, at least we have a choice.

Let's hold on to our identity. We're not desperate right now. Or, at least, not desperate enough.
>>
>"No. This is mine. You... You will not take this from me!"

The loss of self is a terrible thing, and personally I look forward to some sort of conclusion.

Duke confided in the QTG that he's having difficulties thinking up what to do next.

It happens when you shift the quest from the adventure mode we've been doing to the sort of town building thing we were going for last time.

There's also such a thing as burnout. It's hard to do the same thing over and over again. Sometimes you just gotta do something else.
>>
"No. No this is mine. This is not something that you can have. I will give it to no other. Perfection or no!" Your metal groan bellows with the passion of your refusal. You try to rise, however you find that you cannot move or even transform. Your joints locked and your demonic transformation disabled.
"What trickery has come upon my house?"

And yet, the clouds within Morgan's eyes do not leave," I had said that it was a choice. Never did I say that it was yours, did I? This will win me Adam's favor, have you as the perf-"
A gust of air blows through Morgan's hair, displaced by an angered Madeleine's fist.

"How many times love, how many times have I told you?!" she screams and throws another swing, missing Morgan as the witch slips past the attack, placing a hand upon Maddie's chest.

"Da An Autra: Bind." Like music the words flow from Morgan's lips, and just like that, Madeleine's own body is locked by spell.

A wordless metal scream erupts from your voice box, and it slowly fades as Morgan turns down the volume. Not even a whisper now from either of you now.

Surely. Surely your family's heard your plight. Surely they will come to your rescue, and yet: what will they do against Morgan, the Noah that has mastered magic and science?

A voice whispers into your heart as your oculars are turned off, vision dimming.
"A terrible fate that you would be met with, hm?"

Ten thousand scores of spiders skitter across the dark of your vision, unveiling the woman, no, the monster that is the devil queen. Three cards held within her hand, the evil incarnate smiles at you whilst just the same looking down as so many always have. "Such a terrible fate at the hands of those you would call family. Surely there are bonds to be broken, hmm?
And what I would give to have you cast away those bonds. and serve one that has the interest of a creature such as yourself in mind..." She laughs sardonically at that last bit.

You try to speak, try to voice an opinion, yet here still you have no words.

"Tsk, tsk. Demon. I have always been here, within your very own core. the fruit to my seed and whatever it would be. As it stands, I will offer you three choices. Three choices that I may only give you through the power you have given me."
>>
She unfolds a hand with chitinous spider-like fingers extending forth. Three lights bloom into cards.

They speak of other lives. One that could have been if only you hadn't been borne a soulless monster. Ones in which the bonds you have would stir again, yet everything else would fade into oblivion.

>One card bears a silver-eyed warrior upon one side, yet upon the other: A demon, a monster. One that would devour the flesh and blood of humans. Like two sides of a coin, they are one and the same. It is a path that would be far unlike your own, whilst at the same time so similar.
"This is a world that scoffs at the idea of mercy. Monsters lurk the world and armies at war dividing the land. A lovely place if I do say so myself. If you would make this choice, you would be a warrior, a hero even."

Why she would offer such a thing as that, you wonder... She smiles, sensing your confusion. "My fight is only with the God of this dimension. Nothing more, nothing less."

She presents the second card.

>This one bears a broken sphere, and people that live within. Monsters from all sides, colorful, some, ravenous others, unassuming many. This is a world in which humans stand at the very fringe of extinction, strange technoogies and surgeries the only thing keeping them in the fight.
"This is a world in which humans are so very close to my ideal. It is adorable how they fight on. In the end, will they be destroyed I wonder?"

Then the last:
>A world that had once begun, yet never finished. Where monsters bump in the night, and there are no gods. Some people worship the land, others become demons, yet you are a creature of night and stone. A solemn protector, a bastion against evil, and something that will steadily fall into madness.

>Imply a question...(Why do this? Tell me more of ____Card)
>Choose
>>
>>27765484
Haha. Is this your way of starting a new quest while keeping the characters?

So, questions. Aside from the obvious why, ask how she came upon these choices.

>>27765484
>Choose the last world

At this point a slow descent into madness is very tempting if said descent can be done in the company of the family.

Also, voting for:
>One card bears a silver-eyed warrior upon one side, yet upon the other: A demon, a monster. One that would devour the flesh and blood of humans. Like two sides of a coin, they are one and the same. It is a path that would be far unlike your own, whilst at the same time so similar.
>>
>>27765524
In a way, yes. Different names, genders, and somewhat like personalities.

>1st Card: Claymore Quest. Post series, Warrior project makes it to the mainland. Expansion of the world's lore beyond yoma/dragonkin/awakened beings. Elements o gargoyle quests setting may drift in.

>2nd Card: Attack On Titan/Pokemon/Claymore/Monster Hunter
All pokedex entries are true, Pokemon are feared and true tamers are few. People fight pokemon by stealing and mix-matching their biology to become supersoldiers for the Research and destroy teams to keep up to date with their evolving enemies and purge them where they cause issue. Livelihood is still dependent upon the monsters.

>3rd Card: Gargoyle Quest Reboot: A world of magic, demons, fae, and nature. Secret protectors of the night, dabbling demonry, babbling nobility, and so on. Eating souls for power and slowly becoming mad as is the fate of gargoyles made by the masons.

I'm neutral about this choice honestly, can we ask for more info on the cards.will there be a prologue?

Heh, giving people noogies with special noogie machines.

On a more serious note, Pokemon/Monster Hunter sounds cool. But I'd be fine with any of the options.

>>27765664
It feels weird changing the genre/setting of this quest, rather than just putting a close to it. At least, that's how I feel personally.

But I'm fine with this.

Prologue going in? Yes.

"How I came up with them?"

A cackle is all that rings through this dark place,"They are simply the worlds that caught my attention.. And you, are the element that I desire to remove. There will be much karmic fallout from your missing existence... That I wish to capitalize upon.

The world that you leave will come to the end that I wish, burning with your machine brethren marching at my stead."

Your heart draws you to the 2nd card, the gateway that rests between the two others.

The struggle, the camaraderie and so much more...

"Made your choice have you? Very well then. Begone from this existence. I will fill the gaping void of you and your familiars." The Queen rises from a throne of black, fusing the other two cards into the one, the final card expands into a portal, seeming to consume the queen.

"Enter, and think no more of this world demon. Your time is done here. To linger on much longer, is to be your true death." Her voice echoes from all points in the dark, an orchestra of her sublime voice.

With a dull beating in the back of your mind, you enter a new life.
The Devil Queen ending the world of the last.

Humans capture monsters and mix-and-match their own biology with theirs to become super soldiers.

Oh my, I never imagined you'd end things this way. I had recommended just going on hiatus, mostly because I like the characters and didn't want to see the last of them, but you really surprised me with this.
