The Transition (ConceptTopic, 11)

From Compile Worlds

Revision as of 10:09, 18 December 2012 by Chao (Talk | contribs)

CW2 Segment 1 is the first real segment of Compile Worlds 2, much contrary to what the previous arcs SHAME and the Gathering had stated all those months ago! It starts in Episode 53, and follows the escapades of Lagnus and Witch...er...Mitsuki, as they wander around and get involved with the mysterious disappearance of the main protagonist Arle Nadja!

Characters

Being the start of a new segment and a new season, the characters have been completely rearranged. Witch and Lagnus emerge as prominent characters, with Satan, Jan, and Draco forming a "Happy Horned people's Family" of antagonists, enslaving Arle Nadja in their dungeon. Seriri, Schezo, and Mikki also return to the spotlight after being deprived of it for the later half of Compile Worlds 1.

New cameos Patchouli Knowledge and the Infomaniac appear to serve the role of magic policemen for some reason, being employed by the Magical Jail to arrest the rising amount of muffin thieves invading the Madou world.

Episodes

The Magician and the Muffins

We start off in Episode 53 with Witch putzing around in the middle of nowhere, seeming aimless, when she spots Lagnus, although she fails to recognize him in kid-form and laughs at him. When Lagnus yells at her, she insists she doesn't know him and introduces herself as Mitsuki, throwing Lagnus off as he had never bothered to learn her real name. Soon though, the plot thickens when Wi--Mitsuki, begins grumbling about Arle the dangerous serial muffin thief! Wait, that can't be right can it?? Lagnus protests and demands Witch divulge her location, but she cannot remember that either, much to Lagnus' dismay. The giggling blonde suggests she might be in muffin jail...or rather, Magic Jail, to atone for her heinous pastry pilfering crimes! In no place to argue, Lagnus is dragged along to create star-shaped holes in the side of the jail with her. Patchouli appears and scolds Lagnus and Marisa for breaking the wall that Mikki, or her faker, had just fixed. After questioning how she could still be 16 after 20 years of being in Puyo games, Witch corrects Patchouli and exuberantly demands for her snacks. The ruckus causes the Librarian to burst through the door like a normal person and join in the arguement, claiming that Arle is also a book thief on top of being a serial muffin thief. She takes Lagnus and Witch to see Arle in her boring cell....

...only to find an empty room with a deactivated portal. The Librarian wanders off to search the Library-Muffin-Magic-Jail for Arle, when she suddenly appears from the portal. She calls for help, but unfortunately, her calls fall on the deaf ears of Witch, who just wants her damn muffins. The portal closes as Arle is dragged into it, shouting about being kidnapped. And there's only one person who would kidnap Arle! So they immedeatly barge into Satan's Castle, where Arle calls out to them through the floor. Insisting that it's only his bad plumbing, Satan kindly shows him to the dungeon, revealing he had no books, muffins, Arles, or Mikkis....just a frekkin frog. Nohoho offers $1000 to be freed, and Lagnus obliges, taking the money and making Witch escort him out, insisting he can deal with Satan on his own. However, after realizing he can't fight in his kidish body, Satan Juggernauts the hell out of him and kicks him out.

Meanwhile, in the dungeon below the dungeon, we are treated to Jan yanking Arle's chains rather literally. Satan gloats that with his DIAMONDS and muffins, that he will be the main antagonist, with no Angols or Ecolos to get in his way. While Satan makes plans for his wedding with Arle, she insists that she'd rather be married to Jan and be locked up in a dungeon forever, to which Jan is oblivious to. Satan insists that things must go his way, and dismisses Jan in order to attempt to convince Arle of his ways. Without her magic, Arle is helpless but to yell at Satan and try to trick him, but to no avail. She weeps as Satan locks her back up, insisting he'll have his way.

Back with WitchMitsuwhatver the fuck she is, we see her run into Schezo Wegey, who is enjoying his time without Arle. Soon, they contemplate together that Arle is hoarding the muffins just to piss them off and starve them, so they attempt to go buy the ever-so-covetted Million Yen Muffin before it is stolen. Much to their chagrin though, it had just been robbed from the window by the time they get there. Grabbing onto the Zoomstick Broomstick, they give chase, and find Doppelganger Arle with the muffin. However, being the total color-blind dingbats they are, Witch and Schezo insist that she is the real Arle, pulling a Sonic Adventure 2 and declaring to The Infomaniac that Arle has stolen the MYM. In an effort to cheer them up, the Infomaniac declares that changing flowers will solve their problem, except not really, and leaves Witch and Schezo to starve in town.

Fishy Yuusha Rice

Meanwhile, in Episode 54, Nohoho is frantically panicking about having to take out a second mortgage against his not-so-secret casino and go bankrupt from not making good cart sales, when Strigina Reuiss saves the day by buying a long list of unnamed toxic substances from the frekkin' frog. Meanwhile Lagnus arrives, only to be patronized by Stringy Rice, who already knows about Arle's capture and is more of the "sit and watch people suffer" type of gal, poofing away without being helpful because being half-mage with witch mom is suffering. Anyway, the Color Changer of 1000 appears to cause some brief lols by making Lagnus pink, and then he too vanishes. Lagnus and Mikki team up and set out to look for more help in fending off Satan, like, finally.

At Mermaid's Lake, Seririrrrrrrrrrrrrr...r...r... is singing a song about her former love interest and how she was swept up by a girl with UTAU hair. Seriri once again mopes about how she gets absolutely no spotlight in the wake of Arle, and, to be fair, the last several arcs of Compile Worlds 1 really did kinda keep her out of the action. Isn't it sad, Seriri? Anyway, Seriri spreads rumors that Arle is also stealing coconuts to make an army of coconut bras with, which Lagnus neither confirms nor denies. After mentioning that she's so fucking done with Draco, she finally agrees to join forces with Lagnus and Mikki, noting that her powers granted to her by Unda would go to waste otherwise.

By the reports of a random pedestrian, the party travels to Kickback Town, where they are greeted by a rampaging Dragon burning it to the ground, and that's NO good!. Dragon easily pushes the rag tag heroes around though, and it is only Mikki who ends the Dragon's shenanigans. The Dragon reveals itself to be Jan, who was disguised as it to commit nefarious deeds without getting in trouble. She promptly accuses the three of being muffin theives, getting them sent to magical jail by the Infomaniac. They easily escape by putting more star-shaped holes into the walls with Mikki's lolzy latin though, and they sneak out in shackles hoping to continue their quest...!

A mission for the sake of Dinner

In Episode 55, we are treated to Nanako strolling into the brand new Suzurian Shopping District built in the Madou World after the events of The Gathering. Ringo, Maguro and Risukuma greet her, and, having nothing better to do, make some chit-chat with her. In the midst of their chatting, Chitose mysteriously appears to chastise Ringo for not doing her job, and then runs off in a hurry, pleading that "they never saw her there". Risukuma and Nanako comment on how odd her behavior was, but Ringo is in no mood to explain, so she moves the subject right along to Risukuma's face. The pedobear's story causes Nanako to reminiscent about the old days, which in turn makes Risu want to feel up her persocom ears somehow. The digi-girl takes off toward the Holy Dinner Shrine before anyone can say much more though.

Nanako arrives at the shrine, being greeted by SD_TempestFeli. The two converse about how they haven't found a shrine maiden yet, which is kind of silly, since most shrines already have one. Feli has devined that they will eventually find one, but for now their shrine remains maidenless. After some more tea-time-chatter, Feli causally brings up a decline in Arle's presence that she's noticed for weeks. Revealing her location to be Satan's Castle, it doesn't take long for Nanako to put two and two together. Lemres swoops in with convenient timing, and Feli once again ascends into White Feli form, being entrusted by The King once more to carry out the holy powers of Dinner!!!

With Nanako and Lemres off to scout for maidens again, Feli flies to Satan's Castle and finds Arle sadly hanging on the wall in silence. Arle opens her eyes and can't believe Feli has recovered from what she did to her. Feli is disturbed to find out that Arle can no longer use even her basic spells, and quickly gets her the hell out of Satan's Castle, claiming the shrin will be safer. On the way there, however, they are intercepted by MitsuWitch and Schezo, who suspect her even more now that she has "a cute loli" sidekick. Arle and Feli attempt to clear her innocence, but the perverted duo wont have it, insisting that Satan isn't smart enough to recognize the true value of muffins, much less the Million Yen Muffin. They take their leave, deciding that they aren't worth their time. Arriving back at the shrine, Arle makes one of her witty comments about how un-shrine like the shrine is. The pair then muses over who could've taken Arle's power and set these bizarre events into motion...
