Chapter Text
“That’s mine!” Scaramouche yelled desperately. But Nahida only gave him a look of pity. Something he hated.
“Don’t even try…!” Scaramouche watches as his gnosis is slowly taken away. “I’ll never..” He sucked in a breath before continuing, “I’ll never go back!”
His countless pleads have been ignored by the God of wisdom, The gnosis being wrapped around her fingers. The strings holding him back broke. He fell. Seeing the world around him in a slow motion fall, as his eyes lose the light he had, accepting his loss.

The sun makes its way to bother Scaramouche from his deep slumber. The puppet woke up from his bed rubbing his eyes to wake them up. Wait. Scaramouche opens his eyes fully looking around this strangely messy room. Didn’t he just witness some paper white looking ass stealing his gnosis?! Why is he here? Is he still in Sumeru?
“Rise and shine Scara!!”
Yae Miko? Why is she out of all the people here? The door opened showing Yae not in her usual Shrine Maiden outfit, but in a pink robe.
“What’s wrong Scara you look you’ve just seen a ghost?” Yae asked, her voice filled with sarcasm.
“Where am I? What have you done to me, and Why are you here Yae?” Scaramouche asked. Head filled with confusion and uneasiness.
“You’re in your room, I’ve done nothing, And I’m here for the sole purpose of,” Yae paused sighing, “Get the fuck up and get ready for school, now stop acting like you’ve been kidnapped I’m done playing with your games, Its 6:30 in the morning. oh my archons.”
School? Why is Scaramouche at the ripe age of 500+ going to school? And why is Yae giving this sour attitude acting like she’s his boss or something?!
“Get ready now before I get your mother.” Yae said sternly.
His mother? What is Beelzebub doing here? Scaramouche decided to question everything later, The way Yae has been death staring at him from across this room that’s apparently his, has been quite literally burning onto him.
The puppet went off the bed which caused Yae to close the door and leave him alone. The room was small due to the amount of decorations and bean bag chairs there are. It's messy for his taste but clean from the perspective of others. He explored his newly owned room till he saw his reflection in the mirror. He looked… human. The body of a puppet is gone. His usual outfit has been replaced by a large black shirt with a skeleton's ribcage plastered onto it, matched with baggy black and white pants.
With the new revelations of looking way more human. He quickly checked his back, Removing the shirt as he tried to look for the electro symbol at the back of his neck.
It's gone… The symbol of being a puppet, a prototype, and Beelzebub’s creation… Gone. Scaramouche then proceeded to try to feel the symbol, as if there’s no way they could have easily removed this. After countless rubbing and splashing water onto his back, he finally accepted it.
He’s human. A mere stupid mortal with weak emotions. Was this Beelzebubs way of punishment? Is this her way of stripping every power he had gained to achieve? No wonder she’s here, All to laugh and mock him. He’ll prove her wrong though, Like he always does.
“SCARA YOU BETTER BE READY IN TEN MINUTES OR YOUR WALKING TO SCHOOL!”
Scaramouche sighed. He forgot about this whole school thing. Scara went to the closet and found suitable clothing for school. He picked out a dark purple sleeveless turtleneck and matched it with a black and white flannel and black jeans. He didn’t give much thought to the outfit, most likely because he's scheming on being strong again.
.
Scaramouche went out of his room and into a foreign home. He doesn’t understand, Why would Beelzebub kidnap him and place him into a nice home? Does she..? No. Scaramouche shook his head, shaking the thoughts away. No time to get emotional. You cannot show your weakness, especially when his mothers presence is somewhere nearby. Scaramouche decided to start exploring this house, if he has to stay here for the long run then he has to know where to go.
“Scara I hear your door opening come on time to eat breakfast!”
Beelzebub.. Scaramouche walked towards Beelzebubs voice, He was greeted with her smiling while holding a mug.. Why is she smiling?
“See I told you Ei, There’s something wrong with your son he’s acting all weird and he hasn’t even over complicated his outfit!”
That fox. Why is she acting like this? Weren’t they the ones to kidnap him? Scaramouche sighed, He's about to pop a blood vessel if he keeps thinking hard about this. He needs answers now.
“What did you do to me, Beelzebub?”
Beelzebub showed concern and confusion. Is she messing with him?
“Don't act all confused, what have you done to me?” Scaramouche snarled, trying to conflict fear towards God.
“Don't speak to your mother like that young man.”
“Oh finally accepting me as your son? who got you all soft.”
“I don’t understand Scaramouche. Why are you calling me Beelzebub?”
Scaramouche laughed, Does she think hes stupid? He won't be that easily manipulated.
“Oh plea-“ Yae stood up, slamming her hands on the table.
“Scaramouche.” Yae said, her eyes darkening. “Get to the car now.” Yae walked past him signaling him to follow.
He followed Yae outside to the weird mechanical thingy. She went to go in the vehicle, Scaramouche followed. Once Inside, Yae made the vehicle make a loud noise startling Scaramouche. Then they started moving.
Scaramouche came to the conclusion that this was a transport vehicle.
“Scara,” Yae said, filling the awkward atmosphere with her voice, “After school you apologize to your mother.”
Scaramouche scoffed. Why is he going to apologize to her? She kidnapped him.
“Whatever game you are playing has to stop right now, And trust me when I find out why you wouldn't like it.” Is she threatening him now?! “Besides… You want to have it back don’t you?”
That sly damn fox.
