Okay, instead of explaining what happened in the last episode, we'll let this scene(s) explain what the deuce happened. ----- Yashiko was depressed while she stood in the shower. The rain enveloped her body as she washed herself. She rubbed in her soap and massaged her breasts while she did so. They were big alright, but not quite as big as Terebis. How Natsumi managed to get an incredibly huge bosom was anyone's guess, but one thing's for sure, they are as natural as.... Yashiko suddenly dropped the soap as it slipped from her hands. If she were in a women's prison, she would be in huge trouble. ----- Yashiko later got out of the shower as she wrapped herself in a towel of either her favorite childhood heroine, or a cute animal she loved when she was a little girl. She sung as she got out of the shower, and said, "Big Brother, I'm ready to go out with yooooou!" "Seki isn't here, remember?" Lumi was reading her math homework. With a comic book wedged in. "After that Violent Seki fiasco, I don't know when he's coming back from the Dark Warrior palace." Yashiko punched the nearby wall. "Damn him!" She yelled. "Seki broke his promise! He feels like his Big Tibetian lifestyle is far more important than spending time with me, his ever lovable sister!" She managed to pose while her breasts bounced and love bubbles fill the area. "We could be doing all sorts of things, like study together, play arcade games, even shower together!" She twirled around while she said those things. Lumi then jumped up. "I'll take a shower with you!" She chirped. "I bet the fanboys would love to see that!" "Hell no they wouldn't!" Yashiko frowned. "No one wants to see you naked, Lumi-chan." "Yashiko! Sweetie!" A voice was heard from downstairs. It was a female voice, much like Yashiko's, except it was a few years older. "Dinner time!" "Coming mom!" Yashiko yelled. Then she turned to Lumi-Chan. "Come on, maybe we can discuss this during dinner time." "Oh boy!" Lumi jumped up and down. "Dinner time!" ----- Meanwhile, at Terebi's house, Terebi Natsumi had her office chair repaired. After that attack by Ijima, she was forced to have it repaired, slightly cheaper than getting a completely new one. Terebi leaned in her chair, and squashed her enormous breasts on the table. She typed in her words at the computer saying the following... ---- Hey boys, any news on what the Stupid Clownsel has planned? No clue. I'm about as much as a foul ball as anyone else. U R 14m3 Arijouya, shut up. Either speak in proper english, or don't speak at all. :P All of you, stop this bickering. I know Natsumi's easily the strongest of all of us here, I still have the brain power to bring half the student population under my control. Yeah. You tell her, Shiro! (Scratches his head) Well, thanks? Now that Seki's been in stasis, we can finally focus on getting the Rosewood Bride from Yashiko, and enslaving the Student Council. Ever hear of Seki's current condition? What of it? Well, since Kumayama couldn't completely use Seki against Yashiko, I'm going to include my own touch in the scheme. <@BearMountain>Even though it was my idea, I'll let you perfect add that touch you were talking about. Maybe we can talk about it Privately, or better yet, my daughter will talk to you. In fact, she's coming over right now. Okay! ---- Natsumi logged off, and using security cameras, she managed to find a very slim girl outside Natsumi's door. She was a short haired girl who's hair color resembles that of Kumayama-sensei, and she even wore a T-shirt depicting a samurai. She was also wearing jeans. Natsumi got up from her chair, and as she did, her giant tracts of land suddenly bounced and wobbled while she dashed toward the door. She answered it, and there was Raika Kumayama, outside bowing politely to Natsumi. "It's a pleasure to meet you again Natsumi." "Raika!" Natsumi rushed on over and hugged Raika with Natsumi's enormous breasts mashing in with Raika's own boobs. She was happy to see someone, besides Utablea supporting her. "What are you doing here?" "I wanted to go to Shiro's house, but daddy told me to go over here to check up on Seki first." Raika took off her shoes, and Natsumi gestured. "Show me where he is." "Well, he's still at the Dark Warrior Palace guarded by both Minotaur Man and Arijouya." Terebi snickered. "We're going to use Seki against Yashiko and the Student Council." Raika was awed. "You're going to use Seki against Yashiko?" "Of course!" Natsumi smiled as she leaned over. As she did, her breasts wobbled forth. "We have Yashiko's reason for fighting right here! Better yet, we'll even use him against the Big Tibetian Furniture Dojo, utterly bringing them to our knees!" "WOW!" Raika beamed in happiness. "You are strong, and smart!" "Well, what can I say?" Natsumi posed as her enormous breasts bounced and wobbled. "Pretty soon, the whole world will bow before the Neo Ottoman Empire, and not even the Big Tibetian Dojo will stop us!" Meanwhile, Arkhio was hiding in the bushes, and smiled. "You go girl." Arkhio cackled as he leaped into his car, and drove off. "Now Kouto my boy," He sneered. "You will know the folly of your betrayal!" ---- FURNITURE WARRIORS X PLUS THALLUM... Ah, you know the rest. Started by Brian Stricklin and continued by Ryunson. This is still the copyright of Nihana-san and the Furniture Warriors universe contributers, including myself. Yet, NO ONE has submitted anything yet! This wait is killing me! ----- CHAPTER NINTEEN: Lights Out For Ijima! OR Lampshades of Your Heart 2! OR Losing Faith in the Student Council, pt. 1 ------ Several miles away from the Big Tibetian Dojo, there was a figure dressed in black. No, it is not Morticus Pallbearer, but a woman. She was covered in scars from head to toe, and she has hair, just like Ikeas. She later spoke through the hood, never smiling, never showing any emotion whatsoever. "Soon, you will get yours in time, Venerable Master Oakcraft!" ----- Kouto was down in the dumps after failing to stop Kumayama from moving on with his dastardly plan. Why would Arkhio help the madman instead of stopping him? Kouto answered his own question through memory. Two years ago, during the tournament, Kumayama founded the Bed of Dreamyos in the Rosewood Palace, which he used Dreamyos to try and get the Student Council under his control. Dreamyos was repelled by the Severed Time, and two years and a semester later, the envoy returned, and with Kumayama and Arkhio working together, it's going to be a while before Hiroto High School can truly be safe. What about the Rosewood Bride? Sure, she's entrusted to Yashiko, easily the most powerful warrior in Seki's group, but one of these days, Yashiko will make a mistake, and when she does..... BUMP. Kouto was knocked down by a walking Ijima as she was looking at some paper work on her next play. "Oh I'm sorry." Ijima was about to walk away when, "Ijima, wait!" Kouto called to her. "Yes Kouto?" Ijima smiled. "Did you get your revenge on Kumayama or not?" Kouto lowered his head. "The fake answer you want to hear, or the true answer you don't want to hear?" Ijima frowned. "You didn't, did you?" Kouto lowered his head even further. "I didn't realize that outside of the Morticus costume, Kumayama-sensei was as powerful as any of us combined. No wonder Pride targeted him when he was alive. Not because he was too stupid or weak, but because he's....." "Too powerful?" Ijima patted Kouto on the back. "I understand." "You don't get it, do you?" Kouto demanded. "It took all of us to defeat their envoy, and it also took that bastard Pride to defeat Kumayama! Now that both villains are back, the Neo Ottoman Empire is back in full force, and we can't stop them!" Ijima hugged Kouto. Her breasts mashed in with Kouto's own chest. "We can't stop them, but we know someone who can. One who is not of Student Council origins, but held off the attacks of the Neo Ottomans." "WE TRIED SEKI!" Kouto pushed Ijima back. "Even he couldn't defeat Kumayama, Shiro nor Terebi!" "I'm talking about Yashiko!" Ijima stepped forward. "She singlehandedly defeated Shiro, Violent Seki, and if we play our cards right, she would be our only hope in this dark time! How many chances do we have?" "One." Kouto answered. "One for each member of the Student Council. If we fail, Yashiko and her friends and enemies will gain access to the Rosewood Palace, where the Prize awaits." "That's it?" Ijima peered in. "Of course, they have to get past Rug's End to even get there." Kouto nodded his head. "So who's going first?" Ijima smiled. "That would depend on the current situation." Kouto looked to the sky. "Who knows what Rug's End has planned for us all." ----- Yashiko, Lumi and Vanity were walking alongside the campus, with Lumi being cheerful everystep of the way, singing that infamous, Ice Cream Song. Yashiko lowered her head in sadness while Vanity.... "Is there something wrong, mistress Yashiko?" Vanity spoke in a completely elegant tone. Yashiko turned her head. "Brother Seki is STILL MISSING! He hasn't called, he hasn't written, and it's all your fault!" "I only did what Master Seki did, and he entrusted me to you. He said if you try to kill me for any reason, he'd hate you forever!" Vanity was about to cry. Yashiko froze for a few seconds. Then, she later said, "How could I forget? I'm supposed to be kind to you now. Brother Seki would never forgive me if anything should happen to you!" Suddenly, Yashiko ran into a towering mass of full figured, semi-plump woman with ginormous breasts. Yashiko was suddenly in someone's cleavage, but whose? "This can't be...." Yashiko took one of her hands and squeezed the giant boob. She squashed it, kneaded it, and rubbed it as she was suddenly greeted by screams of complete extacy. Yashiko then pushed herself out of the cleavage and shouted out, "TEREBI! I should've known you'd be involved in this!" "Temper temper, Yashiko, it's not going to bring Brother Seki back." Terebi smiled as she walked towards Yashiko. As Terebi did, her giant breasts bounced and wobbled while she made her advance. Her plump belly did the same. "The Student Council are planning to have their final duel against you, so, if you want your brother back, you'll have to defeat them all." "And if I refuse?" Yashiko demanded. Terebi smiled rather evily. "Then Brother Seki belongs to me! Expulsion won't be the penalty for refusing, but you will stay in school to be mocked even further! Besides, wouldn't Brother Seki prefer to date a mature woman with enormous breasts instead of that useless, A-Cup skank over there?" As Terebi said this lecture, she placed her hand on one of her giant, soft breasts and squeezed and hefted it. She pointed at Lumi with her other hand while her other boob bounced. "YOU BIG MEANIE!" Lumi was furious. "Calm down Lumi!" Yashiko pulled Lumi-chan back. "Awww, the little baby's going to throw her diaper at me?" Terebi giggled as her enormous breasts bounced. "Give it up, you couldn't beat me then, and you will never defeat me. You sure as Hell can't beat me now, LOLI GIRL!!" Lumi started to cry. With a dash of anger. "At least I still have my fans!" She demanded. "What fans?" Terebi scolded as she bent on over, and as she did, her enormous tracts of land wobbled forth. Her cleavage was exposed, showing her breasts doing just that. "You're an incredibly annoying bitch for no reason, your reason for coming here is completely a mystery, your singing is absolutely terrible, and you're flat as a table!" She arched up, and as she did, her massive chest bounced up and down. "When I first saw you, I mistook you for an insane boy. There is no redeeming value of your pathetic life other than target practice! You're better off dead than living anyway! Even the biggest loser in the world has a better chance of getting laid than you!" Lumi-chan suddenly wailed and ran away. "WHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" "Lumi-chan, come back!" Yashiko called out, then turns to Terebi with her own chest bouncing in the process. "Now you look what you've done?" She demanded. "My deal still stands." Terebi frowned as she turned around. Her overdeveloped behind bounced in place. "Defeat the Student Council, or you will never see your brother again!" She began to walk away with her butt bouncing, then... "Why can't you take out the Student Council yourself, if you're so tough?" Yashiko flustered her hands. "Besides, don't you have a duelist brooch already?" Terebi turned around while her chest followed suit. "I'd be glad to help if you need it. The engagement rule is still in place, and I'm always available!" She winked her eye. She concluded this speech by saying, "Or you can get the big babies's help. She let you down during the Violent Seki battle, and she will let you down at the Student Council. SHE'S... FRICKIN'...USELESS!!" Terebi slapped her butt and laughed. It was then that Yashiko chased after Lumi-chan. ------ "WHHAAAAAAHHH!!" "Lumi!" "WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" "Lu.." "WAAAAAAHHHH!!" "LUMI!!!" Lumi-chan stopped crying. She sniffed. "Yes?" "You really need to stop crying!" Yashiko demanded. "Besides, this gag is so Episode Four." "But Terebi-san called me a...." Lumi-chan suddenly began to cry once again. Yashiko told her otherwise. "There there..." Yashiko patted on her the back. "Terebi's just an over-inflated cow. You're developing quite nicely!" "Really?" Lumi chirped. "One of these days, you'll be as big as me!" Yashiko gestured as her breasts wobbled in different directions. Lumi then rushed on over to hug Yashiko, with Lumi's head accidentally rubbing Yashiko's breasts. "Thank you thank you thank you!" "You're welcome!" Yashiko hugged Lumi back. "Now let's go to class!" "We don't think so!" Suddenly, Thug numbers One through three appeared. "We've been sent by Shiro to make sure you don't choose Lumi-Baka as your engagement partner!" "Yashiko, who are they?" Asked Lumi. "Well," Yashiko pointed out. "Since their parents didn't give these guys any names, they are Thug Number One, Thug Number Two, and Thug Number Three. Seriously, who names their kids Thug Numbers?" "Hey, we have real names!" Thug Number Two snarled. "Since our real names suck," Thug Number Three nodded his head, "We kinda like our code names." "I see." Yashiko sweatdropped. "Well, I'll see you guys later." She was about to walk off when... "NOT SO FAST!" The thugs then surrounded Yashiko and Lumi. "We've been in only one episode, and our former boss, Kazue, has been in two!" "Well I feel sorry for you three." Yashiko patted them on the shoulders. "Maybe next time, you will go to school with us, instead of living like thugs your whole lives." "That's the problem!" Thug Number One frowned. "Our parents died when we were young!" Thug Number Two cried. "We had no place to go, then Kazue took us in as his thugs!" Thug Number Three answered the obvious. "AND HERE WE ARE!" The thugs happily sung as they danced in motion. "Look, either you guys get out of the way, or we are going to use force!" Yashiko demanded as she got out her waffle iron from furniture space. "Ooooo, a waffle iron, we are so scared!" The thugs responded in a completely sarcastic manner. Then they got out fold out chairs from the nearby dumpster. "We'll destroy you with our fold out chair techniques!" Yashiko however, wasn't impressed. "Lumi, think you can vent out your anger on them?" "No problem!" Lumi got out a few lightbulbs while Yashiko dove out of the way. "CHARGE!!" The thugs then attacked Lumi while the lightbulb warrior was stuck in a mental trance. 'I'll show Terebi-san that Lumi is not a big baby!' Lumi later screamed out, "BEAUTIFUL LIGHTBULB BARRAGE!!" The thugs were completely overwhelmed by the attacks of the lightbulbs, not because Lumi is one of the most powerful warriors, but they weren't as adept as Shiro trained them to be. ---- "SHIRO!" Yashiko stomped across campus in search of the egotistical villain. Shiro turned around while writing in his journal. "What do you want?" He rudely asked Yashiko. Yashiko then pulled him by the shirt and demanded this from him. "You sent those goons didn't you? And I wouldn't be suprised that you sent Kazue as well!" "You got me, I did all that." Shiro waved his arms. "However, they joined me willingly, and with my help, they will make Hiroto High School mine!" Yashiko plopped him down. "I don't see what your problem is." Yashiko glared at Shiro. "Natsumi defeated you, I defeated you, yet you managed to reject the fact that you lost." "My parents expected the best from me, even my own teacher!" Shiro tried to slap Yashiko, but missed. "You think I wanted to lose like an honorable twit? NO! Seki was weak, and you only beat me because of that strange bed you summoned!" Shiro then covered his face. "What is it, what is the Bed of Pleasant Memories, the very thing you created yourself, yet you were a Black Daffodil Duelist once. Terebi and Raika told me so." Yashiko stepped up to him. "That was because Seki chose Kaede-sensei over me." She lowered her head. "All Seki ever wanted was too be happy, and being with Kaede-sensei made him happy. He was a teacher away from home, and my guess is that Seki wanted to go back to the Big Tibetian Dojo." "Yet here he is of all places, continuing the fight against the forces of oppression." Shiro barked. "But does he realize that he is fighting WITH the oppressors rather than against them?" "What do you mean?" Yashiko demanded. "Since the tournament ended, we of the old and new Ottoman Empires have been mocked, teased and bullied by the other light warriors from the Big Tibetian Dojo. We can't even get a decent job because the Dark Warrior popularity scale is flushed down the toilet! Did Seki think that far? NO! He's too stupid to realize he's been working with the forces of evil all along! If Seki wins this tournament, it will be a lose/lose situation for both Light and Dark Warriors! Forces not of this world will destroy it in a nanoclick!" "You're lying!" Yashiko shook. "There's more to Ikea than just being the heir to Oakcraft's Dojo. He was actually the offspring of a woman who was also an emotionless, studyhog. She was ruthless, chosen by the ancient masters to be Oakcraft's first wife." "What happened to her?" Yashiko asked the question. "I don't know!" Shiro frowned. "Due to circumstances beyond his control, Oakcraft went looking for a wife he can be happy with! He chased after various women in both Tibet and various other tournaments, including Natsumi's mom. Out of all the women available, he chose Rami." "Who's Rami?" Yashiko peered in. Then, there was a dramatic close up of Shiro's face. "The mother who gave birth to Lumi-chan." Yashiko was shocked. Insert Shocked music here. She shook her head, and later asked, "Where are you getting this information?" Shiro shrugged his shoulders. "Venerable Master Oakcraft himself, who told Natsumi's mom who told my dad who told me. It's a chain of knowledge." Then he looked at his watch. "Now if you excuse me, I have to be at class. If you want more info, you can ask Natsumi and/or her mom." Before he left, he turned around, and said the following statement. "Beware, Seki's goals are anything but honorable." And he was gone. Yashiko raised her Waffle Iron high, and said the following words, "After I defeat my first Student Council Member, I will find more info on Ikea's birthmother." Then, Yashiko was suddenly backed embraced by Natsumi. The amazon pulled Yashiko into her own bosom as she smiled. "So, you want to know about my mother's information about Ikea's birthmother?" "What of it?" Yashiko frowned while her head is pressed against one of Terebi's huge breasts. "Help me settle my score with Ijima, and I will help you find my mother's information about Ikea's heritage, and why is he such a study boy." Yashiko looked up through Terebi's cleavage and said, "You promise?" Terebi then wrapped her arms around Yashiko and pulled her into an embrace. "Hey, if I could bring Kaede-sensei under my control, I could keep my promises too!" "Wait, YOU were the reason Kaede went missing on that day?" Yashiko looked at Terebi. "Guily as charged, he's the one who followed me to my house!" Terebi stroked Yashiko's hair. "Besides, I did it all for you." She wrapped her arms around Yashiko, further pulling her into Terebi's enormous bosom. "I didn't realize you were THAT dedicated to your brother, so my taking control of Kaede sensei was an accidental trigger. You should be proud of my ideas, rather than misinterpreting the facts." Yashiko then beamed in happiness. She pulled out of Terebi's bosom and said, "More the reason I will help you! Come Vanity! We got work to do!" "Yes mistress!" Vanity happily chirped while she followed Yashiko. Why she was happy, she was secretly in denial that she is still the Rosewood Bride. Terebi smiled. Her plan was working like a charm. Elsewhere, Ijima watched the whole thing. She darted towards the shadows. ----- "Yashiko and Terebi, together?!" Ijima pondered this as she watched the two alliances merge. "It's like the Autobots and the Decepticons joining forces!" "Thanks Kotaro, but I think this is worse than that!" Ijima looked at the Kompaq Ryu warrior. "If both Yashiko and Terebi win this tournament, who knows what they will do!" "Calm down, I'm sure Kouto has some strategy." Kotaro waved his hands. "Knowing Natsumi, she's tricky and strong. Her knowledge on Oakcraft's first wife maybe useful in the connection between Seki and Ikea." "He's useless right now!" Ijima stamped her foot and her breasts bounced all over. "He's been stubborn about Rug's End ever since he failed to stop Kumayama! I demand to know who this Rug's End person is RIGHT NOW!!" "Be careful what you wish for, Ijima." Then, from the shadows, Kumayama-sensei slithered like a snake. he hissed in his vile manner. "It may come true." "Kumayama!" Ijima got into a battle position. Kotaro just vanished out of the way. He'd rather not get the teacher angry. "Relax, I'm not here to fight you." Kumayama gestured at the idea. "You want to see Nizo again, don't you?" "What if I am?" Ijima demanded. "Stubborn as ever, but don't let that falter you from your dream." Kumayama snaked around. "Nizo will be your engagement partner in your battle, but first, you must meet the identity of the man you currently serve." "Who? WHO?!" Ijima demanded. "Listen, can you hear it?" Kumayama smiled. "That's the sound racing through the End of the Rug." "I... I hear it!" Ijima finally perked. "Then come Ijima Kobayashi! Come to the one you seek!" Kumayama has his shirt open for some strange reason. Then the Arkhio Car appeared. If it didn't hit that lamp post, then it would've copied from Utena. ----- The open road was quite a spectacular show, with lamp posts and the like traveling for miles. "Kumayama!" Ijima yelled out, "What is this place? It's some road I have not yet traveled." "It's the road to the End of the Rug." Kumayama smiled as he looked over his shotgun seat. "Besides, I think you and Nizo have alot of catching up to do." "Nizo?" Ijima looked right beside her to find.... "Hello Ijima." There was Nizo. "It's been a while." "You never call, you never write, I was wondering where you've been all this time." Ijima asked the question. "I've been busy." Nizo frowned. "I worked with Ichiro and the Mysterious Psychic Chick to make sure the heroes save the world once again. However, Kumayama claims that Ikea's victory in the tournament has inspired more villains than heroes." "What do you mean?" Ijima demanded. "Angered by Ikea's victory, Kumayama, along with a group of forgotten Ottoman Warriors, forged the Neo Ottoman Empire, dedicated to succeeding whereas the Old Ottoman Empire failed to do. Unlike what Pride suggested, forming it was a booming success. It took the toughest Classic fighter to even try." "Well I know that, but what do you mean, villains? There's more than one organization?" "Duh." Nizo spat out. "Not only that, but we suspect that Ikea is secretly working for a mastermind completely unknown at this time. Queen Radiance doesn't know about it, but if we should find out the identity of this villain...." "ENOUGH!" Ijima interrupted. "I demand to know who is truly behind the duels, and Kumayama's mysterious revival!" "Sorry for keeping you in suspence." The driver smiled. "I reveal the End of the Rug to you." Then the driver leaped up, with light eclipsed his shadow. It was none other than.... "YOU!!" Ijima was freaked out. "You're the Ottoman Envoy we sent to Arkham! How did you...." "Escape?" Arkhio, in his insane form laughed. "Natsumi's mother was kind enough to pay me bail, and with the powers of Furniutre Space returning, I created a path of destruction!" "No...." Ijima was frightened. "This can't be true! You can't be the End of the Rug!" "Ah, but it is!" Arkhio smiled. "I admire your determination to shut us down, but I'm afraid you've gotten too close to the truth! Now you and Nizo will be the first to fall in my Engagement Tournament!" "What about Ichiro and the Psychic Chick?" Nizo demanded. "They will stop you and your mad scheme!" "Don't worry, I'll get to them!" Arkhio insanely laughed. Then he turned his head towards Ijima. "Your desire to eliminate Natsumi from the tournament has started to irritate me. That is why I'm having her pair up with Yashiko to destroy you!" "So the rumors are true." Ijima lowered her head. "That is, unless you manage to win." Arkhio brushed his head. "Think of it as a very hard puzzle." He then shot out both of his hands, and placed his hands on Nizo and Ijima. "Now! Recieve the power!" Ijima and Nizo screamed as the power flowed through them. 'Now Yashiko...' Kumayama thought as he took the steering wheel. 'Let's see if your Bed of Pleasant Memories can stand up to the true power of Denkijutsu!' ----- Yashiko and Natsumi looked at the Venerable Arena as they walked toward it. Yashiko turned to Natsumi and said the following words, "You ready for the Student Council Rematches?" Natsumi smiled. "I never miss a good program." The two duelists then walked toward the elevator, but as they did, they were unexpectedly followed by Lumi. Lumi looked at Yashiko and Natsumi enter the elevator. 'This can't be!' Lumi was freaked out. 'Yashiko and Natsumi together?' Lumi proceeded to investigate this further. ----- "This is baloney!" Minotaur Man kicked the computer as he stood there trying to guard Seki. "Why are we demoted to guard duty while Tere-Bonehead gets to participate in the game?" "Besides Shiro, she's the only one of us that's ever gotten a brooch." Arijouya looked at the Minotaur. "Besides, we failed in guarding Lumi-chan, so it's only logical that we make up time by guarding Seki." "Where's Yakyuu?" Minotaur Man mused. "Obviously, despite her behaviour, she's the only one that's normal enough to go into town and buy us supplies." "Oh." Suddenly, the alarm went off. "Well, it seems we have an intruder in our midst." "Really, that's the third intruder alert we had!" In case anyone was keeping score, the first one was Ijima. The second one was Seki and Kouto, and the third... Arijouya looked on the screen, and saw the same woman that was Oakcraft's dojo a while back. "No, it can't be! Anyone but her!" "How noble of her to come alone." Minotaur Man chuckled at his own cleverness. "At last, we have the person that threatened to turn the Big Tibetain Dojo into a militant criminal group." Then there was a close up of Minotaur's face. "The woman formerly known as Mrs. Oakcraft." "We have enough of these intruder alerts!" Arijouya demanded. "Triple the guard!" ----- The duel arena was packed for the battle of the century. Expositional Character and Laughing Queen against Possessive Fangirl and Overdeveloped Goddess. The duels were truly starting again, and what a perfect way to start them with a battle against Ijima, and her longtime friend Nizo? Yashiko and Natsumi entered the arena, while Vanity greeted them both. "Good luck." She spoke. "Well well well, Yashiko and Natsumi! What an unlikely pair!" Ijima laughed as she got out her spotlights. "Too bad big brother Seki isn't with you this time! I missed seeing you in black." "Ijima, how many times do we have to go through with this?" Yashiko demanded. "I only gave in to the Black Daffodil project because Brother Seki prefers Kaede-sensei over me!" "And now you embrace a new kind of Darkness, the Neo Ottoman Empire." Ijima shook her head. "And I thought you'd be a true Light Warrior by now." "Do I have an alternate choice?!" Yashiko frowned at the idea. "Either I pair up with this overdeveloped bimbo, or I will never see brother Seki again!" "Is that your reason for fighting? To save brother Seki from his own obsession?" Ijima cowled. "Hey, Seki's the one who got himself into this mess, and he's going to get himself out of it, pure and simple!" Natsumi powerposed as her monsterous chest bounced while her plump belly did the same thing. "Besides, I'll make you pay for breaking into my house!" "Ah yes, that little incident where I left you briefly vunerable." Ijima did her laugh. "So tell me, what is the Wrong Side of the Bed? What power does it truly possess? Or are you still silent about that?" Natsumi did her own version of the Call Me Queen laugh. It was actually pleasant to even listen to. "Boldy you sought the power of both the Wrong Side of the Bed and the Bed of Pleasant Memories! Now you shall see them firsthand!" Terebi later got out a television set from furniture space. "Prepare to be canceled by my immeasurable beauty and bouncy TV sets!" "OH GOD, NATSUMI IS GOING TO SMACK IJIMA WITH HER OVERSIZED BOOBS, WHEN WILL THE PERVERSION END?!" Yashiko bawled. "I mean I am going to destroy her with my TV Furniture Style." Natsumi corrected Yashiko. She later whispered in Yashiko's ear. "If I have time, I can smack Ijima around with my breasts, then show her why I'm the most beautiful girl on campus." "You're disgusting." Yashiko countered. "Oh, we are going to have so much fun!" Natsumi giggled as she clutched her breasts together. "This will be a hot battle, and a chance to finally shut Ijima up for good!" "You won't win." Nizo countered. "We trained so hard for the day we will finally secure the prize. Ijima and I will finally launch our play, and we will finally shut you Dark Warriors down!" Nizo later called out, "Let the games begin!" ----- "So it has begun." Kouto looked at the arena. "The Student Council Rematches. We must not let the Rosewood Keys fall into Terebi's hands!" "Remind me again," Benma interrupted. "What are the Rosewood Keys?" Kouto turned around. "Each of the members of the Student Council holds four keys that will gain entry into the Rosewood Palace. If one should have all four, the person will gain access to the prize, and all of his or her wishes come true." He then looked back to the arena. "If Terebi should get her hands on the Rosewood Keys, we're done for." "So this was her plan all along." Kotaro appeared. "The entire Engagement rules were made so Natsumi and her partner can gain access to the prize, and create a calamity to throw the world off balance." "In other words," Benma frowned. "If these Neo Ottomans can't have the planet, no one else would." "Let's not jump to conclusions here!" Kotaro flustered his hands. "I'm sure that Yashiko will find a way to go around Natsumi's ultimatum and save Brother Seki." Kouto then dashed toward Kotaro, and hoisted him up. "THIS IS YOUR FAULT! IF YOU HADN'T LET NATSUMI INTO THE ARENA, THEN NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED! WE WOULD CONTINUED OUR FIGHT AGAINST SEKI AND BE DONE WITH IT!!" "It wasn't easy bargaining with the most popular girl in school." Kotaro was frightened. "Seki was the one who ignored my warnings, and continued our fight against us. I said the same thing to Ijima, but she was more angrier than you could hope to achieve! I didn't know Natsumi would be THIS powerful!" "You know what?" Kouto snapped. "It wasn't Baseball Head that humiliated me at the pool, IT WAS NATSUMI TEREBI!! Nearly all my problems revolve around her, she humiliated me, bullied me, manipulated me, and I blamed everything on Kumayama and Yakyuu! It's bad enough that she is still on campus, but if she partners with Yashiko...." "Calm down." Benma commanded. "I'm sure Ijima and Nizo would find a way to defeat this behemoth of a woman." "Yes, but I can't bear to think of Yashiko leaving and not returning." Kouto frowned. "She's the only thing left after Seki defeated me twice!" He raised his head. "However, there is still Lumi-chan. We can use her against Yashiko if given the chance." "Without brother Seki, it would be so easy!" Kotaro jumped. "You got this one in the bag, Mr. President!" "Of course." Kouto smiled. "With my help, both Yashiko and Terebi will fall under my control, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!" Kouto did a twirling stance. "LOOK OUT WORLD! NAKAJIMA KOUTO IS BACK!!" ----- BATTLE 3: YASHIKO AND TEREBI VS. IJIMA AND NIZO ----- "It's time for the Terebi Natsumi show!" Terebi bent over as her assets wobbled forth. "This will be your last performance." Ijima got out her spotlight as she entered the arena. ----- FIGHT! ----- "LENS FLARE!" Ijima made the first move to attack with her tradmarked laser beam. However, Natsumi has other plans. She leaped over the attack, and countered with, "TV BOMBER!" Ijima was no fool. She rolled out of the way, and countered with, "LENS FLARE!" Somehow, the attack was able to blast Natsumi just as she landed. Parts of her clothing were ripped, exposing parts of her flesh. "DAMN YOU!" Natsumi frowned. "Is that your only attack?" Ijima brushed her hair. "I got worse!" Then she focused her spotlight to change the effect of her attacks. She then unleashed a, "STROBE HALLUCINATION!" Ijima was suddenly split into four. One real, the others fake. "See if you can find me, Terebitch!" Even though Natsumi was slightly dazed, was able to toss her televisions at the Ijimas. However, some of them completely went through her. "What's the matter?" Ijima laughed. "Can't find the real me?" Terebi was furious. She leaped up into the air, and called out, "FURNITURE SPECIAL ATTACK, TV AIR STRIKE!!" She launched TVs all across the area, and when her blindness was over, there was smoke and debree. She landed, and as she did, her enormous chest bounced once more. "There!" Terebi laughed. "That ought to shut you up." However, Ijima leaped up through the smoke, something in which shocked Natsumi, and from the looks of things, Ijima was furious as well. "Enough projectiles! It's time to get up close and personal!" With that, Ijima rammed her head right into Terebi's huge, squishy bosom. Then, she took her spotlight, and used it to try to pin Natsumi. Natsumi was using her own strength to push the spotlight back. "You think you are so hot, do you?" Ijima was angry now. "You think you can be the most popular girl on campus because you have an enormous rack and a killer figure? If you're so damn popular, why aren't you on the Student Council?" "If I was going to find out they are going to be beaten by some random loser, why bother?" Natsumi smiled. "BROTHER SEKI IS NOT A RANDOM LOSER!!" Yashiko yelled. "If he wasn't, how come he wasn't able to beat me honorably?" Natsumi frowned at Yashiko. "Ah, Touche." Yashiko responded. "ENOUGH!" Ijima demanded. "It's time to take you down!" She then set a dial which increased the intensity of her spotlight. Some people say that it is so intense, that it was able to completely burn off a person's clothing. "Oh no, not this time!" Natsumi had a plan. "If you want my clothing, you can have them!" Natsumi then took off her shirt, and revealed her enormous bouncing breasts snug within a purple and black laced bra. "NATSUMI!!" Yashiko demanded. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" "Be quiet and go along with my plan!" Natsumi smiled. "Dude, you can't do that!" Yashiko bawled. "Hey, they need the entertainment!" Natsumi countered. "Kumayama's back in town, and the students need a reason to go on with this ordeal." "True, he hasn't given us much homework as he used to, and he follows accordingly with the textbook. If you want my opinion, I think he's lowered his tough teacher karma by fifty percent. WAIT A SECOND!" Yashiko now realized something. "He's only playing nice guy because brother Seki isn't here anymore! What a...." "Charge complete!" Ijima smiled. "Now it's time to end this!" Natsumi gathered all of her clothes, save for her bras and panties, and yelled out, "Okay pajama butt, take your best shot!" "FURNITURE SPECIAL ATTACK," Ijima yelled out as she pointed her spotlight at Natsumi. "HYPER LENS FLARE!" She shot out a huge lightbeam which threatened to consume Natsumi, but the television amazon had other plans. Natsumi used whatever clothes she had to toss right into the beam while she rolled out of the way. The clothes were pretty burned, but Natsumi got out of the way, unsathed. She got up, and as she did, her gargantuan breasts bounced up and down. "Oh God...." Yashiko slapped her head. "Changing lightbulb, you'll pay for this, Natsumi!" Ijima was angry her attack didn't go through. It even costed her a lightbulb. The fans were drooling to see Natsumi Terebi in purple and black lingere, both top and bottom. They were silk, and stretchy, enough to contain her massive breasts. "Now let's give these fans what they want." She dove to Ijima, and placed her in a headlock. Ijima's head was buried in Terebi's enormous bosom. "Now here's something the fans will be dying to see!" Ijima seems to be struggling to find a way out of this predigament. Natsumi leaped up in the air, and shouted out, "FURNITURE SPECIAL ATTACK, TV SPLASH!!" She took Ijima, and using her as a cushion, Natsumi managed to dive onto the ground, with her weight crushing Ijima. The fans cheered. Ijima can only gasp for air inside Terebi's massive chest. "Don't worry, I won't finish you just yet." Natsumi whispered in Ijimas ear just as she was recovering. Natsumi got up, and as she did, her huge tracts of land bounced and wobbled. "Okay Yashiko, it's your turn!" "It's about time!" She switched out with Natsumi, and got out her waffle iron from Furniture Space. As Yashiko landed, her own bosom bounced as she rushed on over to Ijima, and picked her up. "Okay Ijima, I've been nice enough to let you off the hook all those years ago, now I'm going to put you out of your misery!" "Please Yashiko," Ijima was begging and pleading. "I surrender, have mercy!" "After all the trouble you put us through, you now beg for mercy?" Yashiko then slammed Ijima to the ground. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't smack you up like the bitch you are!" "THIS!" Ijima then tossed out a, "FRENSEL GERNADE!" As she temporarly blinded Yashiko with the blast. Ijima then got up. "Damn, I need to heal. Nizo, take over for me!" "No problem." Nizo then stepped up to the plate. "Yashiko, please, don't get in our way if you want to live." Yashiko slowly recovered from her blindness and looked at Nizo. "I don't see what helping Ijima would do." "She promised me to be number one in this school if I help her obtain the prize!" Nizo stuck his hand in Furniture Space. "Better than that bastard Shiro Takezuma!" He later pulled out a bookcase. "I work for the Mysterious Psychic Chick, who overlooks the course of the Furniture Warriors. Please don't stand in our way." "I must defeat you if I have to!" Suddenly, Nizo's stance was not confident. Yashiko can clearly see that it would not be fair to Nizo. She placed her Waffle Iron down. "I'm sorry, it would not be fair." "Yashiko," Nizo smiled. "of all the girls I have faced in the long course of this tournament, you are the first to understand that passage in the light of righteousness rather than victory." He returned his shelf to the strap on his back. "Congratulations." "WHAT?!" Ijima was angry. "IS THIS THE POWER OF THE PSYCHIC ONE, TO FORFEIT WHEN A FIGHT'S NOT FAIR?!" "Well...." Nizo rubbed the back of his head. Unfortunately for him, Ijima delivered an uppercut that sent him soaring into the sky. "WORST FIGHTING STRATEGY EVER!!" "No wonder the Student Council got their asses handed to them by a perverted monk." Natsumi smiled at the thought that there is one less engagement partner to worry about. "They would take their fights out on each other rather than their opponents." "SEKI IS NOT A PERVERTED MONK!!" Yashiko shook her fist at Natsumi. "Then what was all the nosebleeds and the gawking at my huge boobs then, hmmmm?" Natsumi Terebi leaned over as her breasts swayed. By the way, she found some spare clothes while Nizo talked with Yashiko. Either that, or she was in her revealing Tekkaman armor. Or her bra and panties. The writing staff can be so crazy. "I was in the background watching you constantly protecting Seki from the hazards of being with a real woman, other than his sellout sister!" "As soon as we battle, I'll make you eat those words!" Yashiko then turned back around. Her skirt flared up, revealing her behind. "If you ladies are done arguing..." Ijima frowned. "I would like to get this battle rolling!" "Of course!" Yashiko readied her waffle iron. She whirled it around, and called out, "WAFFLE IRON LURE!" She used it to shoot out the iron by the cord (Which in real life, is a big NO NO) and used it to wrap around Ijima. Then, the end of the waffle iron clonked her head and with that, Yashiko pulled the victim close to her, and clobbered her with a few kicks and punches. Ijima was knocked back, and staggering. "I will not be beaten by someone of lower class!" Ijima then readied herself, and launched a, "LENS FLARE!" Yashiko rolled out of the way, and countered with, "WAFFLE IRON SHOT!" She shot out a fireball from the Waffle Iron, and then, rushed in to clobber Ijima while she recovered, counting as a double attack. "DAMN YOU!!" Ijima swore. "I got worse!" Yashiko happily declared as she bent over with her breasts following suit. "FURNITURE SPECIAL ATTACK, WEAPON SNATCHER!!" "OH HELL NO!!" Ijima screamed as she suddenly had her weapon wrapped up. "You may have thrown Shiro, Fake Morticus and Violent Seki with this attack, but you will not beat me!" Suddenly, it was a tug of war between the two combatants. "Resist all you want Ijima!" Yashiko smiled. "My love will always win in the end!" She gave her weapon a massive tug and pulled Ijima's weapon away from her. "Now the finisher, WEAPON REVERSAL!!" She clobbered Ijima with her own spotlight! "I HATE YOU! I REALLY, TRULY HATE YOU!" Ijima then got into a tantrum. "I'll destroy you with my Exceed!" Ijima charged her energies into a deadly attack. "NO!" Yashiko screamed as she called forth the Legendary Bed of Pleasant Memories from her arsenal. "Bed of Pleasant Memories, defeat my enemy!" She charged towards Ijima with the Bed drawn. "I have to destroy you, before it even connects!" Ijima suddenly called out, "FURNITURE EXCEED ATTACK, LIGHTSHOW WRATH!!" Ijima suddenly surrounded herself with Lens Flares and Frensel Gernades. Yashiko can only charge so much with the Bed of Pleasant Memories. She was about to connect with Ijima when... She tripped over a loose bulb, then she was clipped by a lens flare. Yashiko stumbled on the ground as her attack was suddenly negated. "Just a few more hits..." Ijima slowly recovered from her dangerous exceed. "And I would have finished you off!" Yashiko got up, and as she did, her chest bounced. "Okay, so one bed wasn't enough to stop you...." She later tagged Natsumi. "Let's see how you handle the Wrong Side of the Bed!" Terebi leaped up and landed on the ground. As she did, her colossal breasts bounced every which way. "Now, while Yashiko's being healed all nice and snuggly, I'll finally finish our little skirmish back at my house!" "You wouldn't have the guts to finish me off." Ijima growled. "I'll say this again...." Ijima breathed in and out. "Stay out of the duels if you want your buddies to live." "I have my reasons for dueling." Natsumi smiled. "And shutting you up is but one of my desires." She later called upon the dark power of the Wrong Side of the Bed, and the surge of Arkhio entered her body as the lunatic laughed the following words, "YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SERVE ME, BUT YOU TURNED DOWN MY OFFER FOR FOOLISH PRIDE. NOW YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE IN FULL." "Damn you!" Ijima was frightened with tears in her eyes. "I used up all my power, but in the end..." Just when Ijima was about to unleash her final attack, Natsumi charged at Ijima with the demonic half of the bed as the monstrocity collided with her. Ijima screamed as infernal energies overtook her in an instant. Natsumi just insanely laughed and laughed. ----- WINNER! Terebi and Yashiko! "Too bad you were canceled in the first episode!" Terebi bent on over, and as she did, her breasts wobbled and jiggled. ----- Ijima layed down defeated as she looked at the sky. How can this be, she thought, beaten by some athlete with bouncy, squishy breasts? Natsumi loomed over her as her breasts wobbled forth while looking at the defeated student council member. "If I would think the Student Council be this weak, I would've defeated them a long time ago, even without Rug's End!" Ijima was dazed and confused. "That's right, sweetcheeks!" Terebi placed her hands on her rump as she swayed it, as well as moving her giant breasts back and forth. "I was clearly the victor long before we even dueled! You were brave, I'll give you that, but in the end, you were just crying in the corner all these years!" Ijima was still confused by Terebi's logic. At least she can see. "Well, since you long to kick my beautiful butt, here's what you're going to do now that you got the beating you deserve!" Natsumi then turned around, and revealed her large, plump and ample butt and wiggled it. It bounced heavily while she did so. "Now you're going to kiss and make up!" "Oh no, you wouldn't!" Yashiko countered. "Ijima may have been queen all those years, but I, Terebi Natsumi, am now going to take the crown, and make my accension to the upper class of this school official, by having Ijima kiss my beautiful behind!" Natsumi powerposed as her monsterous bosom bounced and wobbled. "And just to make sure...." Terebi then facesits on top of Ijima. Her breasts bounced and wobbled while she sat on Ijima's face. "Only by kissing and worshiping my butt can you escape your predigament! Trying to bite it can lead to a result that's not meant to be aired!" Ijima can't believe this. Her faced wedged in between Terebi's plump behind, with both cheeks pressed against her face. There was one thing left to do. Ijima took her hands, and placed them on Terebi's plump butt sides and squeezed them. Terebi had such a squishy behind! She massaged said butt with her hands, and before anyone can stop her.... She kissed it. She did so to both her butt cheeks and possibly.... Well, Yashiko reacted to the event by saying, "EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!" Natsumi got up, and as she did, her enormous breasts bounced and wobbled again. "A foul fate for a foul bitch of society! Let that teach you a lesson not to pick a fight with Terebi Natsumi!" She power posed while her monsterious chest wobbled all over. "The defender of Television, the mistress of the airwaves, the..." "Would you give your ego a rest?!" Yashiko scowled. "You settled your score, now can we PLEASE find your mother's information?" Suddenly, both women were distracted by a shiny object that arose from Ijima's bosom. It was round, and suddenly shaped to form a Key of some sort. Vanity walked on over to the Key, and smiled. "Congratulations," She said. "This is one of the four Rosewood Keys needed to enter the Rosewood Palace. Three more, and the palace shall be opened up." "Where do we find these other three keys?" Yashiko asked the question about that. "Isn't it obvious?" Terebi gestured a bit. "The other three student council members. All we gotta do, is to beat them the same way!" She powerposed while her bosom bounced once more. "Aren't you going to show me your mother's information or not?" Yashiko pouted. Terebi smiled. "Right, this way!" She pointed out. Her giant bosom bounced and jiggled again. The two women then left the arena, when all the sudden.... "Yashiko-neechan...." Lumi was teary eyed from all the battle. Yashiko pairing herself with Natsumi Terebi of all places.... "I'm sorry Lumi," Yashiko patted Lumi on the head. "Either I go along with this, or I will never see Seki again. Try to understand the ordeal I have to go through." "You, you...." It was then that Lumi ran out crying. "Lumi, come back!" Yashiko protested. "Yashiko!" Terebi demanded. "Are you coming or not?" Yashiko nodded. It wasn't like she had anything better to do right now. ----- "So, Yashiko has defeated the first Student Council Member, interesting." Arkhio sipped his glass. "I'm glad that Natsumi had the chance to shut Ijima up for all she's worth." He brushed his hair aside. "Now to proceed to step two." "Pride was a weakling, Pride was a fool." Kumayama stepped in. "He threw away his reputation just to get at me." "Are you still obsessed over those who have disliked you?" Arkhio looked at Kumayama. "This body you gave me...." Kumayama staggered a bit. "It's not holding out as it should." "Calm down, I'm sure you winning this tournament will fix this." Arkhio calmly spoke as he took his wine glass. "It better." Kumayama growled. "Pride wasn't kidding when he destroyed my old body, this new power can take so much!" "Kumayama, be a good minion and intercept Sun Futon and Kaede sensei." Arkhio looked at Kumayama. The tough teacher sighed. "Well, at least it's better than nothing. I don't know how he escaped the Dark Dimension, but rest assured, I won't be alone in this battle, right Tigerskin?" Tigerskin was a demonic creature of pure evil. He resembled an anthomorphic tiger, but mixed in with a few demonic features. He was a chinese monster, like Futon, except whereas Futon was a monkey, Tigerskin was a demonic tiger that fought Futon several times on their journey. Like his name, Tigerskin uses a tigerskin rug. He growled in a tone that made flowers turn a deathly white. ----- Meanwhile, at the Dark Warrior Palace, the mysterious woman defeated both Minotaur Man and Arijouya rather easily. During the fight between Ijima, Nizo, Terebi and Yashiko, the woman was battling through the defences of the palace, eventually making it to the place where Seki was in stasis. "A waste of time." The woman snarled as she later took the unconcious body of Arijouya and carried it on over to the prison pod. She took Arijouya's hand and scanned it in, as well as her retinal scan too. The pod was opened, and out came Seki, well and ready for a fight. "It's time to free The Betrayer." "Who are you?" Seki demanded. "Why have you freed me?" "I am she who was once married to Venerable Master Oakcraft. I am the one who will free you from your curse." She walked toward Seki as she looked at him. She didn't show any emotion whatsoever, and gestured her hand. "I am Lady Oakcraft, the one who will free the both of us from this world!" "No!" Seki swatted her hand. "I will uphold Ikea's code, and free Vanity from the Duels!" "Foolish boy." The former Mrs. Oakcraft commanded. "I am the one who brought Ikea into this wretched world, and it is through my will that Queen Radiance and Lumi-chan will die, making way for a better Tibetian world!" "And what world do you envision?" Seki demanded. "You'll see Seki my boy, you'll see." Mrs. Oakcraft spoke through her emotionless glare as she held Seki's hand. ----- On the next FWX: Will Seki go along with Mrs. Oakcraft's plan? Will Ijima recover from Terebi's facesit? What's the connection between Ikea and the duels? What does Kouto have planned for Seki? Can Kumayama survive another chapter? What's the dark secret of Tigerskin? Can this fic survive another five or so parts? Find out on Episode 20: Bare Rug, the Sequel! OR The Rebirth of Seki! ------ Author's Notes: Okay, sorry for filling in the Ijima fight Tuxedo Jack, but somebody's got to take the torch. Although from what I been told in the community, all of the Furniture Warriors issues have been resolved, so there would be no need for a sequel. Since Furniture Warriors X has been created, this is not the case. For example, who the hell gave birth to Ikea and Lumi-chan? Well, maybe the next few chapters will answer those questions, since a Furniture Warriors sequel is in the range of rarely happening, or not happening at all. See you next time!
