11/23: No Love Is Being Served Haha;

*11/23: no Love Is Being Served, Haha;* Is a non-canonical short story appearing within *The Rage Knights: Red God* comic book-based/novel universe created and written by Khaliq Trevor X.

## Story

The story follows Nomad Bradley discovering a distress signal from a wedding chapel via his Personify eyeglasses, so he proceeds to investigate the area. Upon reaching the area, he finds decayed bones and an incredibly fowl stench. Upon observation he finds it was a *wedding ceremony* that was ruined due to the likes of the demonic entities known as The Diseased. Bradley faces the monsters, even *teasing* and joking with them, as he slaughters the demons. However after defeating the first wave, a powerful voice rumbles the chapel. He attempts to face the source of the voice, but winds up being repelled by the voice's vocal cords, which knocks him from the chapel alongside many other Diseased.

After Bradley defeats the group of Diseased, a stray fist strikes him. He encounters a man named Stewart Hog Swiner. A *summon* conjured by SHA's warehouse kingdom Slashtastic Arts to thwart Nomad. The man tries to kill Nomad directly but soon-after, his neck is *snapped* by none other than the *Damon Bradley multiverse counterpart, Amon Bradley!* Standoffish, Nomad declares Amon an illusion, copy or Hell Clone, however Amon reveals he was summoned there as well by a mysteriously wrathful life force he can barely identify. As the two try to contemplate the mystery, they're faced with the source of the voice –– The Whole-Hell Monster! This creature begins its onslaught of hurling Diseased at the two such as Wraiths and Wedding Crashers. The two Bradley's ward off the creature with combined red and white magic powers but the Whole-Hell Monster overwhelms them, viciously trampling over them and stomping across the lands. Amon uses furious Red Magic attacks to disarm the creature but this too, ultimately leads to failure. Nomad comes up with a plan to best the creature when he swoops up high and forces the Whole-Hell Monster to follow him to the Pen-Pal Palace where he lands at a Login Terminal to simulate a game in one of his comedic antics. The creature swats the login terminal but upon doing this, this simply activates a Brad-Dunn Inc. Deformity Gauntlet Casing that dowses the creature several times, causing the monster's *attractive images* to erode, boil and deform. Nomad tries to flee, but the monster ships out a secondary cog-like machine hand and cranks it back into its hide. Amon tries desperately to save Nomad, with Nomad demanding Amon blast the creature to smithereens with his own arsenal of Deformity Nukes.

The battle concludes when both Nomad and Amon perform Deformity Rain on the creature, rocketing the demon into the sky. They're showered in a stream of black Diseased blood as a result, the two counterparts laugh and joke about it. With Amon mocking the Hog Swiner's shallow Pig Latin language. Later, a login terminal lights up for a split second getting the two counterparts' attention. When Nomad walks over to the screen, he finds a phone laying at the terminal's surface. The tattered and blood-drenched Nomad picks up the lone smartphone and reads disappearing onscreen content, only sparing a single sentence. The only words left on the phone reads, "*No Love Is Being Served, Haha*". Amon questions the source of the message but Nomad is unable to answer. Somewhere afar, a recording of the two counterparts replays as a faceless entity watches with the Infringer's Cube.
