The Gathering (ConceptTopic, 11)

From Compile Worlds

Post-SHAME is the tentative name given to the first segment of Compile Worlds 2. It takes place a month after the events of SHAME. Not much is known about the arc, other than that it is based on a series of interconnected events involving Eldora, Angol Mois and Ecolo.

Settings

Primp, the usual setting of the RP, is destroyed by Ecolo in the first episode, so the plot has moved settings to the Madou World, where new locations and adventures await the characters. Map:Madou World was created, but Chao was a frekkin' derp and forgot to label it. Moreover, Gaias and the Realm of the Gods were introduced as new settings.

Episodes

A comeback not expected by you!

It's been weeks after the Tournament when Episode 44 begins, and not a single bit of evil has happened. Well, apart from Lagnus the Brave having the same nightmare for two weeks straight. He stumbles out of bed, waking up a sleepy Arle in the process. Lagnus tries to explain his dream, and gets a nasty hunch. Arle realizes it must be serious if Lagnus feels so strongly about it, so they fetch Draco and check on the Primp Magic School, where Ms. Accord is giving Amitie and Sig a boring lecture on stairs transitions. Just as nothing particularly suspicious is assumed to have been going on, the sun suddenly decides to go down. After that, other foreboding disturbances in the scenery begin to crop up, causing poor Rider to be dumped off in the class. At the very top of the Magic School is none other than Ecolo, who's revealed that being purged has only made him twice as evil. Jupiter also reveals herself a part of the shenanigans. Lagnus, downright determined to prevent his nightmare from becoming reality, charges at Ecolo, but not before he reveals another minion, Idea, and stabs Lagnus with a syringe, injecting a deadly virus into him. Then, he reveals the heart of the planet, which Ecolo strikes with a powerful spell. Primp is blown to smithereens, but everyone inhabiting it is saved by an unknown force, who sends them to the Madou World. Ecolo gloats regardless, and is merely satisfied Primp is destroyed.

We're not in Primp anymore...

The party that just witnessed the attack, gets up, seemingly unharmed, but still in shock. They lament over the destruction of their home planet, and deduce that Ecolo destroyed the planet's heart, and that the same will eventually happen to Lagnus himself if he's not cured. They try and decide on a place to stay, but before they can do that, Nohoho appears, and brings along 5 other characters 5/5ContractorNondescript MinionThe LibrarianOffice GirlGypsum, offering to build them various kinds of lodgings. Benedict appears, killing the comedy relief, only to be eaten by Only God for even moar lolz. As the lolz reach a peaking point, Gypsum directs them to Rulue's Mansion, where they barge in and basically force Rulue to let them in. They explain to her their dilemma, but unfortunately, they cannot come up with a proper solution, so instead they eat delicious curry all night long.

Meanwhile, Satan, Ringo, Theta, Schezo Feli and Witch have ended up in an unnamed forest area, also distressed by the sudden change of scenery. However, unlike the other party, they experience easier real estate dealings when Mikki, Lam the Stelly and Klug arrive to magically summon a Draco's hut cottage for them! Huzzah! Anyway, Satan huffs off, irritated by the proposition of living in a forest cottage full of unattractive girls, and leaves for his castle, while Schezo and Witch build a tree house to dream about muffins in nearby. Eventually, another individual, Tech shows up, just as confused and hopeless as the gang already there, and huddles with them. While they talk about manly clothes and fail computer jargon, the discussion turns gloomy as they figure that they can't stop Ecolo from accidentally the worlds. Feli suggests the death of Angol Mois is to blame for their hopeless situation, while Tech recommends finding Lemres. Eventually, Ringo gets sick of the lolz and decides Omega is the only one who can truly say if Ecolo is stoppable. They too rest up for the night meanwhile though, to delicious fruit salad, rather than curry or ramen.

Fateful Encounters of the Unknown Kind

Back at the mansion in Episode 45, everyone is derpingasusual after curry and some much needed rest, with Lagnus poking at his now massively scabbed injection site. Arle puts a band-aid on it because band-aids make everything better, and the group continues to argue about Ecolo's shenanigans and the whereabouts of the goddess Eldora. Lagnus and Arle get sick of waiting around, so they ask Rulue where Daichi went, and follow him into Night City. When they get there, Daichi has gotten separated from Marin and Sho by getting distracted in a giant shopping mall. After they find Daichi, his knowledge turns out to be useless. Suddenly, Incubus strikes again, with more cheese and onion pasties than ever. Before any lolz can happen though, he's attacked by Lucifer, who then goes into a miniature exposition about a portal owned by Satan. However, Lucifer is ignored as Draco suddenly decides that she wants to hold a beauty contest again while all these villains are running amuck, prompting Arle, Lagnus and Daichi to leave her and the others to conduct that.

Meanwhile, they bump into Satan, who is huffing off from the previous episode. Satan reveals the existence of the Door to Gaias, and is promptly blackmailed into leading them to it. He leads them inside, not promising Eldora will be on the other side. They enter Gaias at a Color Change Spring, where they are ambushed by the Color Changer of 1000 and his cohort the Infomaniac! Arle, sick of all the lolz though, Bayoens the hell out of Infomaniac and his Lego bricks, thus causing him to Vamos. Daichi leads them away from the crazy bearded Puyo-man, apologizing for his eccentric personality. Before long, a blinding light, Kanon, appears before them and tells them Eldora has vanished. After Arle complains about not being able to see, Kanon transforms into a tiny loli with glowing eyes and hair, much to Satan's amusement. She expresses slight sadness in being unable to tell them of Eldora's whereabouts or how and why she disappeared. She soon transports the group to her office in the Angel Academy, where Liechi, a goddess in training, offers them tea while they conduct the faux council meeting. As this still reveals little, Omega is summoned by Liechi to play detective. Omega sniffs around and discovers that someone had abducted Eldora, and that they were also a two. This disturbing news disheartens the group even more as they realize the villainous powers at work in this arc are much greater than they originally thought...

Reprise for the King of Terror

Episode 46 begins with a flashback to the end of SHAME, as Eltia is preparing her final attack against Angol Mois. Suddenly, however, he is teleported before he is attack, effectively saving his life. Appearing what seems to be a prison cell, he discovers that his rescuer was none other than Eldora. Angol accuses her of "meddling in his affairs" and "damning him to the Abyss. Eldora calmly defends herself, explaining she was abducted from nowhere before she could finish what she started, and thus Angol was teleported elsewhere. Skeptical, Angol questions why Eldora rescued him from what would have been certain doom and erroneously claims that they are enemies. Eldora assures him there is no ill will between them, and then Angol ponders the goddess' unusual plight. Finally, Eldora and Angol strike a deal, with Angol agreeing to help Eldora if the worlds fall into crisis on the condition that he is - ahem - properly teleported home this time. And thus, he is transported to his homeworld...

The Fate of the Worlds

Just as Satan is about to attempt to get more brownie points with Leichi and her delicious tea, Angol Mois politely barges in somehow and declares the worlds are in danger. Of course, everyone gets up at once to point fingers at him, and Satan tries to start drama by accusing him of appearing to steal Kanon's office. Omega quiets his nonsense quickly while Angol explains Eldora's situation. Kanon dwells on how all of the recent events infringe upon the "normal pattern" of things, while Angol suddenly begins spewing out ancient Madou World legends about the Puyo Spirits. According to legend, it is said that gathering all five of them and combining their powers can grant wishes and even miracles. According to a mysterious tipstress though, Camus is sealing them away at the urging of an impostor Arle, over which the real Arle bursts into laughter. Arle claims he wouldn't go through the trouble, but Angol isn't so sure. After arguing about how and why Ecolo could be involved with the spirits, the gang decides to look for Camus. Leichi and Kanon refrain from going, adhering to their procedures, which causes Satan to storm off yet again. The remainder heads back down into the Madou World from the Realm of the Gods in order to locate Arle's childhood friend.
