Pretty Princess Man and Bonnie the Blue Bumblebee

Episode 12: The Five Sacred Verses

In the land of Gorgeous, there existed one man and his sidekick in order to ward off the forces of evil and ugly. That man was Pretty Princess Man, and his sidekick was Bonnie the Blue Bumblebee. Together this unstoppable force fights with power and precision and has no mercy for the forces that stand in their way.

“Bonnie…” Pretty Princess Man stammered.

“Yes Pretty Princess Man,” she returned, “I am alive!”

“But how?”

“The powers of darkness Pretty Princess Man. They have given me new life. I am alive and powerful. Your purpose had no power. Faith, hope, and love are just children’s concepts. Grow up Pretty Princess Man! I deserve this. I have more power than you could have ever shown me.

“Light is an illusion anyways. Take a look at the once perfect land of Gorgeous. Everyone was happy and living in the light, but it was an illusion. Once the Amorites came, panic flooded the land and our great King, the one who is supposed to be the source of the light, could not stop the overwhelming darkness. Light leaves people in ignorance. Wake up! I am alive because of darkness.”

“Then it is not true life,” Pretty Princess Man stated.

“Bonnie the Blue Bumblebee, how can you do this?” Frolicking Fawn asked tears filling his eyes.

“Simple,” she replied, “darkness. Have you not been listening? Darkness has given me power beyond measure.”

“Darkness has no true power,” Little Pumpkin cried out.

“Why are all of you distorting the facts? I have no true life, no true power? Why must it be true? Darkness brought me back to life, something which light could not handle. So I welcome and accept this power and if you wish to live a full life then I suggest you do the same.”

“Light will prevail. It must. It always does,” Breathtaking Bunny uttered.

“We shall see,” Bonnie the Blue Bumblebee said with a laugh.

“Bonnie,” Agape started, “we must leave. You need to tame the powers of darkness and then we will let you fulfill your wish.”

“So be it master,” said Bonnie. Then she turned to leave.

“No Bonnie! Don’t go!” Pretty Princess Man pleaded.

Silence filled the shrine as Bonnie approached Agape. Nothing was said, nothing was heard, and everything was just absorbed into the minds of the heroes. Once Bonnie reached Agape a cloud of darkness enveloped them and they vanished.

“I’m sorry Pretty Princess Man,” Little Pumpkin said sympathetically.

Pretty Princess Man slumped to the ground. He had gone through so much in the past couple of days. He had observed the blood-stained ground of the Castle of Termination. He had witnessed the death of his best friend. He had killed an Amorite. He had reached a new world. And now he had seen his best friend alive again, but evil. Oh how much weight can one stand to bare?

Pretty Princess Man was on the breaking point. One more step in the wrong direction and he would fall. Pretty Princess Man took a second and evaluated himself. He had been sad for too long. The things of this world were bringing him down. He needed to count his blessings and not his sorrows. His friends surrounded him. He had an amazing girl with him who liked him as much as he liked her. He had managed to follow the Amor Association. And his best friend was alive! After a deep sigh, Pretty Princess Man raised himself to his feet.

“Now,” Pretty Princess Man started, “Bonnie is alive. She may be evil, but she is living. We are in the world of the Amorites and it is disgusting. We have come so far, let us continue to press on through all of the hardships!”

“Yes!” Kindhearted Kitty said, happy now that things were picking up.

“We need information,” Glittering Grizzly stated. “We are in a completely new world that we know nothing about. Not to mention this world is evil. I’ll take a look around this shrine.”

While Glittering Grizzly went to investigate, Breathtaking Bunny, Frolicking Fawn, and Kindhearted Kitty went of to play the Gorgeous Game of Monkey-In-The-Middle, leaving Pretty Princess Man and Little Pumpkin alone. Pretty Princess Man took the hands of Little Pumpkin and looked her straight in the eyes. He did not say anything but merely looked her in the eyes.

“What?” asked Little Pumpkin. “What are you thinking? You aren’t going to kill me, are you? Have you snapped and now you are going to murder me?”

Silence.

“Seriously Pretty Princess Man, what are you thinking? I don’t wanna die.”

Again nothing.

“What? What are you thinking?” Little Pumpkin asked a little annoyed now.

Stillness.

“What could you possibly be thinking? I really hope you aren’t going to kill me. What are you thinking?”

I’ll show you what I’m thinking,” Pretty Princess Man whispered. With that he leaned over and kissed Little Pumpkin. Little Pumpkin kissed him back, and for a split second, nothing else mattered.

“I’ve found something,” Glittering Grizzly called.

Breathtaking Bunny, Frolicking Fawn, and Kindhearted Kitty stopped playing their Gorgeous Game. This upset Frolicking Fawn as he was the monkey at this point. “Come on.” He muttered. “How unfair. Stupid Grizzly.” Little Pumpkin and Pretty Princess Man let go of each other’s hands. The five of them met up with Glittering Grizzly.

“I’ve found a verse called the Death Scripture. It is evil and brings fear to my bones. I believe that this is what the Amorites used to revive Bonnie the Blue Bumblebee. Anyways, under the Death Scripture it reads ‘4 of 5.’ It scares me to know that there are four other scriptures out there. We must investigate these scriptures and learn the power of evil from them,” Glittering Grizzly said.

“Wait,” Pretty Princess Man said remembering back to his fight with Storge. “When I fought Storge he chanted something. His body then altered form and he had astounding power. Could this be one of the scriptures?”

“It may very well be,” Glittering Grizzly said.

“Then I agree, let us find these five scriptures so that we may better combat the forces of darkness.”

With that the six left the Death Shrine and took their first steps upon the pitiful ground of Ugly.
