Betelgeuse had been intrigued by the small, turtle-like creature he had acquired. He spent the last two weeks bonding and training the little guy, though not exactly Pokemon training. Instead, Betelgeuse was training Squirtle to appreciate pranks and the value of scaring people.

Now, however, Betelgeuse just wanted to have some fun.

Betelgeuse found the top of an unimportant building in Genessia City and juiced it to be water-proof. He had Squirtle fill the roof with water, creating a giant swimming pool. Betelgeuse changed his clothes into what he considered a very sharp pair of white and black striped swim trunks. He splashed around, laughing. Squirtle swam around, occasionally shooting out streams of water down on passer-by below, making Betelgeuse laugh even harder.

The only question was who would show up to complain and who would join the party?

"I don't know, it just happens. God, I suppose. Though I've never met the real one."

Even though she swore to punch him in the face one day. She was satisfied with emptying her guns into the world's core system.

"It's done now, either way. Everyone that I used to know from there is gone. I checked, since I was the last one left since I managed to put it off."

[betel_geuse]

"I'd think less of him, if that were true," Betelgeuse said, huffing in anger. "I mean come on! You go through all the troubles of life, then you end up dead, only to get erased entirely?? Talk about sucking! Nah, there's gotta be someone pulling strings and making a muck of things. That's how it is in my world."

[tenminutes]

"There was someone doing something like that, but that wasn't a part of it. I took the guy down who was pulling the worse stuff though."

Yuri sounds pretty proud about that.

"But before that, I spent almost my entire afterlife looking for a way to punch god in the face for revenge. It's no more possible to find any god there than in life."

[betel_geuse]

"Huh, yeah. We don't see him either. I was raised Catholic, though. I think the whole meeting God thing only happens when everything comes to an end, y'know?" Betelgeuse speculated. "Still, good job on taking down at least one douchebag."

[tenminutes]

"I pretty much declared war against whatever deity was up there. Buddha, God, Angels, whoever. I wasn't picky about which one it would've been. But thanks."

Yuri's idea of religion had always been pretty vague except for the fact that she believed in reincarnation, after all. She even went so far as to make the password to get into the SSS headquarters multi-inclusive.

[betel_geuse]

"Aw, hey, whatever floats yer boat. I'm Catholic...well, from habit, I guess. I just don't have enough motive to convert to something else. I don't claim to know much about that kinda thing. I gotta applaud your kickass handling of things, though. Few ghosts I've met would have the gumption."

[tenminutes]

"What can I say? I got fed up with sitting alone and letting every day pass by without a chance to speak my mind."

So she started a battlefront. You know, totally reasonable reaction.

[betel_geuse]

Betelgeuse grinned.

"I'm sorry I didn't get to see that. I'd love getting to see you kick ass!"

[tenminutes]

"I'm sure you'll get to see it eventually anyway. I might be alive now, but I've been told I can be completely reckless anyway."

It's a wonder she isn't dead again yet, really.

[betel_geuse]

"Atta girl!" Betelgeuse praised, winking. "Kick ass and take names."

[tenminutes]

"Just give me a reason~"

It was hard to tell if she was joking or not..

[betel_geuse]

He laughed, sending a small splash at her.

"Nah, I'll leave that to some other dumb sap. I just wanna watch."

[tenminutes]

She sent a slightly bigger one back, but still small.

"I'll text you if it isn't a reflexive type of ass-kicking."

[betel_geuse]

"I appreciate, babes. In return, I'll let you know, if I get up to any mischief I think you might enjoy."
