Oh, Master-Sama was not going to like this.

Though once a benevolent senpai, Professor Throthgar had gone mad with power, continuously cloning more Throthgars to take over the mansion and its yearly party! Not even death could stop the Halloween Event. But an overabundance of Throthgars certainly could. Something had to be done, or the denizens of RPR would not get their imaginary candy!

The music in the old mansion was loud. Far too loud, playing some horrible Korean pop music while rave lights were shining bright. Disgusting. No true Throthgar could tolerate K-pop. J-pop was far superior! The Original Throthgar stood at the gates of the courtyard, eyes blacked with anger for Professor Throthgar had gone. She was so angry she could have gone full super Saiyan, but she was no weeb.

Instead of a basket of treats and a sign welcoming trick or treaters, the visitors would find a case filled with weapons such as axes, swords, laser rifles and miniature remote control Apache attack helicopters, as well as some body armour and standard issue healing potions.

Those who wanted candy would have to earn it. For tonight was the night that Throthgar took back what was hers by right.

This was the night of reckoning; the Throthening.

Iian was on vacation. An autumn vacation, to be exact. She did not really want to be on vacation, but her superiors and her cousin, even, commanded it of her since she worked very hard and still met a lot of days with a cheerful vibrancy. Though she attempted to enjoy it -- even more so since there was an event that many people seemed to be celebrating.

Walking down along the pathways with a witch's outfit, Iian felt a little out of her comfort zone. She was no spellcaster, after all.

Halting, Iian had to shake off the surprise she felt when loud, foreign music started blasting through the streets. While it was a little muffled, it was still loud and permeated the air. Looking around, Iian decided to go toward where the music was coming from out of sheer curiosity.

It took a while, though Iian finally stood at the gates that led to a great manor. She stood there in a kind of stupor for a moment before bringing her hand to her chin in contemplation.

Did she want to be here? She was just curious, after all.

Iian said something, but the music playing in the area was so loud she could not even hear the words that spilled from her lips.

A man in a white suit walks by, his pockets full of candy. He follows the music with a dance to his step - but he's not dancing to the tune of the wicked Professor Throthgar, oh no - he dances to his own tune. He walks right to the gates, passing Iian on his way to the weaponry on display.

"Don't just stand there staring like a sap, doll. Get those gams moving, we've got sweets to fight for - and I'm always all for some sugar, if you know what I mean." He makes finger guns at her and winks, and then starts browsing the items. He soon replaces his cane with the biggest axe on display, and smiles. "Oh, yeah, baby. Now that's the real McCoy. Let's dance!"

It was only a matter of time before the offer of shinies attracted a certain little kobold. A storm had driven the pirate crew to seek shelter on the nearest shore, and boy, they'd arrived at a good time. It seemed the entire village was just giving away free stuff! He was also getting a lot of compliments on his realistic looking scales and horns... which was... a strange way of putting it, but nice to hear.

Unfortunately, so far the only thing Odvak had been given were these nasty sweet things. Not even a single crunchy beetle. Yuck.

Now this is some booty! He grabs a shortsword, a dagger, and a strange glowing stick that goes FWOOM, and gives each one several trial swings. Satisfied, he then shoves them in his backpack to sell later. The only weapon he needs is his beautiful singing voice!

As Iian stood there, she was startled slightly when she only heard a man speak to her and said something about standing like syrup, or something like that. The black-haired elven woman looked to the white-suited man and seemed to have this expression of vacant wonder before she looked past him to an odd... kobold? making his way toward the gates.

When the kobold dug around the crate that was left outside. When they pulled out several weapons, Iian could feel herself blanch -- which was saying something for an already pretty pale high elf.

"H-hey..! Those are pretty dangerous! You shouldn't be just swinging them around with people around!" Iian stammered, feeling a little uncertain about sticking around, now. However, she supposed that she was already there, and that the curiosity was still too great for her to just leave.

If things were gonna get too unsafe, however... then that was when she would go ahead and get going. Or at least get somewhere safer.

Throthgar turned around to meet his crew of unsuspecting heroes."Ah. So what Master-sama said is true. There are still sugoi people in the world." Her voice sounded dark and gritty."Kuns and chan we have no time to lose! Master-Sama can be home any minute and my baka clones are everywhere! Kill every Throthgar-chan wearing a costume and you will have so much candy even Shoguns will be jealous." Her voice boomed, pushing a laser gun into Iian's arms. She was now a part of this. No takebacks.

Throthgar's eyes narrowed at the little kobold wearing the totally not copyrighted lightsaber."So... Who'd have thought the world's strongest baka would come to my aid." She shook her head."I will not break your tiny spine today. Today we are tomodachi." She said with a heavy heart. But it had to be done. Chances were Odvak had no idea what the hell this giant dress wearing viking was talking about, but it all made sense, really.

"Onwards!" The maid called as she walked through the courtyard. There was no sign of life outside. Only at the gate stood two more Throthgars. One wearing a samurai outfit and the other valkyrie one that showed off a lot of midrif. Sigh, some Throthgars just use this holiday to show off their goods.

"Throthgar-chan! Will you come party after all? Only Throthgars allowed, though! Your bakas have to wait outside!" Samurai Throthgar giggled, pointing at the three Non-Throthar Losers.

Original Throthgar roared her terrifying battle cry."Not anymore! SHINERRRGHHL!" She yelled, flinging the two axes at the clone, who immediately was chopped in half. Instead of blood and guts, this Throthgar was filled with candy and cranberry juice.

Valkyrie Throthgar yelped at the sight, pressing a button on the door that made an intercom appear."Warn Professor Throthgar! We have a Rogue Throthgar! Repeat, Baka Alarm 1! Baka Alarm 1!"

The fight had begun.

Right as Iian was about to ask about the other Throthgars and how they were meant to go about this particular event, the Throthgar that was with them threw two axes forth with such ferocity. The cracked open Throthgar doppelgangers sprayed the red cranberry juice and caused candy to fly from the sliced... shells?

In that moment, Iian screamed and cringed, unsure what to make of anything at the moment. There were odd events going on, odd traditions she was not used to, odd people just taking weapons from a proffered crate.... What was Iian supposed to believe these events were for!?

Everything was so violent all of a sudden!!

"C'mon, dame, this lollapalooza's all in good fun. See? They ain't real, they're just fancy piñatas! The bimbo in the maid getup is on the level, you can take my word for it.", says the man in white, patting the poor traumatized woman's shoulder. Then, he raises his axe high and charges Valkyrie Throthgar. "Oh no you don't, bearcat! Say, got any of those vodka sweets in you?" With a heavy swing the axe cleaves the Throthgar clean in two! Yes, all in good fun, clearly.

Unsurprisingly, Odvak has no idea what's happening and pees himself a little. "Errr, was this not free? Me just borrowings it! Promise!" It was nice of the maid to postpone his death until tomorrow, at least. Actually, something about her is strangely familiar, but he can't quite put a claw on it.

He's not sure the reward will be tasty insects this time either, but he's got nothing else to do until his captain returns, so he follows.

It doesn't take long before he regrets everything. Nopenopenope. The kobold wanders off and does his best ornamental shrub impression. When another maid explodes he begins to wonder - if he tied some of those flying contraptions in the weapon case together, could they fly him the hell off this island?

A large human-sized stoat with flowing red robes stepped forward, eyes narrowed at the imposters. Abominations of candy and juice instead of flesh and blood. It was a little known fact that ermines were natural sweet-tooths and the good inquisitor was no exception to this rule and as such the promise of candy was quite an appealing reward for ridding this mansion of these horrors.

When Mauricio reached for his crossbow however he found it missing. Luckily he still had the bag he'd been given and so he reached inside to find a weapon. "Be wary, we know not the full extend of what these candy-demons can do!"

Good thing reinforcements had arrived. The two Throthgars at the door were only the beginning of what Master-sama's mansion had to offer in the ways of Throthgars. Ragtime had a warrior's soul, but that would not be enough. For Throthgars were strong maids.

Inside the bag Mauricio would find a 7 feet tall purple coloured, floppy rubber bat with a strange circular shield guard to protect his hands from sword blows meant for the handle. Throthgar cracked her neck as she took a few steps, grabbing the Kobold by his neck."One-kun must go scout so we know what false Throthgars can do."

Throthgar kicked the door open and flung Odvak through it like javelin, causing the poor Kobold to fly straight through a paper wall, which served as dressing room, out of which a Throthgar screamed like a little girl as she ran away, wearing a tutu. In the main hall, decorated with festive lights and spooky skeletons of Master-sama's enemies, at the stairwell leading up to the living room and guest hall, a large monitor hung. As the party had entered, a news broadcast was about to begin as a planet spun around and typical newscast music played until the screen showed Newcaster Throthgar in a suit and glasses.

"Attention all chans! Baka alarm 1 is now in effect! We will now turn to Professor Throthgar-chan who will give us more information, right after a word from our sponsors!" The heavy voice boomed.

An anime fish appeared on the screen, holding up a "Pocky: A favourite snack for Japanese schoolgirls and basement dwellers alike. Eat up, Americans! You make us good money!" It spoke in a heavy accent before the slogan was sung by a choir."Pocky - We've no idea why we're popular."

"And now on to the message."

On the screen appeared a Throthgar wearing a thick labcoat, yellow gloves and large goggles. For some reason she had a dynamo sticking out of her head. And it was emitting electricity too! That was very strange."Alert, my fellow Throthgar creation-kuns! Master-Sama's walls have been breached by non-Throthgars! We have been betrayed by that Baka, Original Throthgar! You are to "clean" her and her friends up before Master-Sama returns home! Fight on, my onee-chans! And remember, I am not evil! Not at all!"

The broadcast ended and beyond the doors the Throthgars were on the move. Heavy footsteps were coming from everywhere inside. Soon the horde would be upon them.

"Kuns and chans, I don't knows you, but we must prepare. Do a pose!" She ordered as she spread her legs in a wide stance, holding her fingers in the peace sign right before her face."Yyyyosh!" She'd call out, a star shining in her eye as she winked. Sugoi, dude.

There was so much going on that Iian did not really know what to do or how to really react. All she could do was watch in continued horror as the bearded maid picked up the kobold and hurled it forward. Even though Iian heard that kobolds were sometimes a foul and troublesome race, she felt bad for the lizard-like being having been thrown so carelessly forward.

She already was pretty shaken about the whole violence bit. She was never really all that good in terms of fighting -- that was always what Nais did! He would have been far better suited for this than poor little Iian.

Cautiously backing away and going toward the crate that held the weapons, Iian looked around for anything other than what was sharp and pointy. There were varying armour pieces that would have helped negate most damage. Iian went ahead at at least stripped herself of her costume robes. Luckily, she was still fully dressed in some form of uniform underneath, though nothing that could negate damage.

Putting on a leather chest armour piece and some bracers like she saw Nais wear, Iian was now at least protected... or... well, at least her top portion was.

Iian also found some potions, which she thought looked like wine. Grabbing one, she popped it open and started downing it. This night needed some form of hard liquor after what Iian saw and experienced.

Ragtime just shakes his head in utter disapproval at the ad being played over the speaker. "God is dead and we killed Him, daddy-o's." But this is not time to be defeatist, this is the time to end this abomination once and for all! But first, to strike a pose. His axe falls heavily on the ground, uncomfortably close to his expensive shoes, as he tips the brim of his hat, winks under his shades, and makes a finger gun at nobody in particular while he flashes his big white shiny smile. "Groovy, baby!"

The lizard is soon soaring through the air, but not exactly in the way he was hoping! He screams in terror, bursts through a paper screen, comes face to face with a scantily clad Trothgar, and screams in terror again.

The wall quickly gives way under his squirming, and Odvak flops into the room... right into the makeup table. It topples, crashes, and a rainbow colored cloud of powder and glitter rises into the air. When he makes his way back to the group they would be forgiven for not recognising him, as he now sports a fashionable collar of shredded paper, and enough makeup to make a mime uncomfortable. A dragon-pirate-clown, what a costume!

A thundering of dainty feet heralds the start of the Throthening, and the lizard realises he's in too deep to escape now. His tiny kokoro dokis in panic. Something has to be done fast! But in the meantime, he strikes a fabulous pose, because if he's going to die, why not in style.

The club felt good in his hand even if the floppiness was strange to Mauricio. It would do for a weapon to use if the Throthgar's came close but the inquisitor preferred to keep his distance. Luckily as he dug deeper into the bag he found what he was looking for.

"A firearm of some description?" The stoat murmured as he took a strange cannon out of the bag. There was no time to think however and as soon as he found a trigger he launched a shot at the nearest Throthgar that wasn't original Throthgar.

I stumbled up to the porch, decked out in my werewolf gear, smiling. I stepped uo to the house and looked into the case. My smile dropped. "Where the candy?" I asked confusedlt as I stared at an array of weapons and armor.

Adrian and Lilica were walking up the path, talking back and forth. Adrian was dressed up in a butler's outfit with his hair slicked back and neat for once.

Lilica on the other hand was dressed up as a girl from the forest. She wore a shirt that revealed quite a bit of her belly but it was lined with fresh leaves. She also wore a short skirt of the same fashion. He long blonde hair was pinned up using a branch of a cherry tree, blossoms attached despite the time of year.

They both looked to be their late teens early twenties, though this didn't portray their true age.

"Do you know how hard it was dragging you out of the house." Lilica spoke sounding a bit irritated.

"The strain in your face said it was quite hard." Adrian joked with only a hint of a smile.

"Oh poo." She tried her best to sound upset but she had a big smile.

They reached the place and stopped to look at the scene unfolding in front of them, puzzled. "Wow I guess we get a show." Adrian spoke first. "Stay close by in case I need to protect you."

"I can handle my self, Frosty." She laughed, drawing the dagger that was strapped to her leg in case of emergencies.

"Doesn't mean I can't protect you." He sighed.

In a matter of seconds the doors burst open, a horde of dressed up Throthgars charged through the doors, shouting their terrifying "Uguuuu~~" warcry as they drew closer."For the glory of Master-Samaaaaaa! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa~~~!" Throthgar shouted as she charged to meet the horde head on, her axes chopping through bodies like they were made of soft butter (some of them actually were), allowing all sorts of candy to spray forth from their artificial wounds.

"Fight, chans and kuns! These false Throthgars feel no pain!" The maid assured the crew as she chopped a construction worker Throthgar in half, who in turn shouted "The pain is unbearable!". Original Throthgar ignored the cries, holding her ground against an unending wave of Throthgars.

Iian, to her surprise, would find the potion made her feel more powerful, not to mention it turned her arms into two cannons, the ammunition for these two new apendages? Her imagination. Magic was a great thing.

Meanwhile Mauricio's T-shirt cannon had a surprising amount of success, the T-shirt knocking a Snooty Rich Woman Throthgar out and making the surrounding Throthgars panic."Watch out! The baka has t-shirts!" One of them called out in pure, unadulterated fear.

Outside the newcomers would see where the party was. Through the open doors, waves of candy sprayed onto the grass outside, as though someone was digging through a giant bowl of candy. One that screamed in agony and fear.

Instead of feeling the sweet kiss of alcoholic blessing -- or, rather, liquid courage -- Iian stared down in horror at the canons that were now her limbs. Waving them around, she also noted that her tiny body could not have possibly been waving around these canons under normal circumstances.

With the waves of candy that made their appearance, of course the first thing to come into Iian's mind was the candy itself. Along with the cranberry juice.

What a mistake.

The canons shook and vibrated before they, too, spilled out candies and cranberry juice. Screaming all the while, Iian rose her arms up and started running around. Now the sky would be raining upon those that were there -- sweet juice and sweet treats pelted anyone within proximity as Iian attempted to comprehend what the HELLS was going on!

"Shall we approach." He looked at Lilica, who in turn rolled her eyes.

"I thought you would never ask." They both casually walked up to where the music was coming from, ice swirling around Adrian. Lilica softly sang as she walked causing basically every plant life in the vicinity to bend towards her, also causing them to grow bigger. They reached where the commotion was. The ice that was swirling around Adrian solidified into a short sword in his right hand and a massive battleaxe on his back.

"Never before was I so unable to understand whats going on in a fight." He spoke looking over the chaos. His sword grew in length so that he could lean on it, Lilica just used Adrian to lean on.

"What in the world?" Those were the only words she was able to say.
