>>37128 I know the feeling, there's this story that's been swimming around in my head ever since it was revealed that Rushu was going to be the Big Bad of (at least, a sizable portion) of Season 2. It wasn't really defined though until the events of 'Remington Smisse' where we discover that Yugo is immune to the villain's soul stealing abilities because he is 'pure of heart' instead of being Grufon's guardian. Said episode and discussion on threads resulted in this short framework for a story.
It's not as impressive as a fully realized artwork or piece of fanfiction, but I felt it needed to be jotted down, nonetheless.
Scenario: Grufon is elated that Yugo isn't a ghoul, believing it to be because he's his Guardian.
Ombrage and Rubilax have a good laugh, cruelly telling Grufon that it's only because Yugo was pure of heart, and not because he was a Guardian.
Grufon: But, but, (looks at Yugo) you promised, you said you were my guardian.
Yugo: Grufon.
Grufon: It, it makes sense, a real guardian wouldn't give his shushu away, or let it get stolen. I just thought-. (parts of his parchments are beginning to moisten) -I guess I really am just a minor shushu.
Rubilax: Maybe the boy isn't quite as pure as you said Ombrage, treachery is the spice of carnage. Maybe you're pure in a different way little Eliatrope.
Ombrage: Maybe you're pure, like US.
Yugo and Grufon's relationship becomes strained as the season progresses. Grufon refusing to actually function, and is too depressed to be threatened. The two eventually reconcile in time to fight Rushu.
Battle ends with Rushu's domain collapsing, the rest of the party unconscious save for Yugo and Grufon. Yugo asks to be shown the way out. Grufon struggles and forms a complex map that will lead them out, the twist being that the exit is constantly shifting as per the chaotic nature of the realm. Yugo says he can't concentrate on it in his tired state. The minor shushu struggles until a clear path is discerned, the road home. Yugo tries holding the map up and using the other hand to create a portal large enough for all his friends, but can't.
Grufon: Lay me down Yugo.
Yugo: No! I just need to use both my hands, and we can all go home! I can remember how to get out.
Grufon: With your silly little head all battered you can barely think! I'll keep the path nice and clear. All you have to do is follow it.
Yugo: But Grufon, you'll be left behind.
Grufon: Hey, this is Rushu's dimension remember? It's where I belong. Beside, (jokingly) what do you care, it's not like I was ever your Shushu to begin with.
Yugo: (sadly) But you were my friend.
Grufon: (smiles) Farewell, Yugo.
Yugo: (begins to cry) Goodbye, Grufon.
(Massive teleport follows, getting Yugo and co. out)
Note: Yes, I know he probably could have afforded to bring Grufon, and maybe he does if this ever happens, but I just wanted to get this scene in
(Rushu wakes up from his beating and crawls toward Grufon, picking up his tiny creation) Rushu: Shushu, I command you to show me the way out of this pandemonium!!!
(Grufon begins to remember his time with the Brotherhood, both good and bad, culminating in his last scene with Yugo)
Rushu: Obey your Master!
(Grufon smiles, and then promptly blows a raspberry at his creator)
(Rushu screams, and the entire underworld explodes)
(cut to a grassy field where everyone is beginning to wake up) Evangelyne: We're-we're alive? (begins looking over her comrades) Did everyone make it out?
Yugo (sitting alone, arms hugging his legs, head bowed): No. Not everyone.
(cut to outside of an enormous Academy) Professor: By Feca's toes! Emrub, Mt. Zinit, places only thought to have existed in legend! Sure there were attempts to illustrate them before, but these! Such detail, such care, such precision! And that's not even getting into the others of places we knew existed! Young man, tell me, how did you come across such a superb collection?
Young Man (face isn't seen): I made them myself.
Professor: By Yourself??!!
Young Man: I travel a lot. Been doing it for a few years now.
Professor: Unbelievable! Almost as unbelievable as how much you want for them all, for this book. This almost feels like a dream...
Young Man: Eh, I don't need many kamas anyway, I have a lot of people who owe me some big favors. Be sure to publish it nice and quick okay? (turns to leave)
Librarian: W-w-wait! Are you sure about the title, at the very least? No degree of silliness or vanity can diminish the power of this incredible Atlas, so by all means-!
Young Man (turns around and is revealed to be wearing a very familiar hat): (Yugo smiles) Grufon will do.
The End
So yeah, that's that, Like always, feel free to comment. I'm probably going to put this on /co/ as well.
