Hello everyone TomboyJessie13, This chapter was quite easy to write once I use my personal experiences as material, nothing too personal of course just something anyone I know and don't know can relate to. I also like to give credit to my little sister Zelda4ever1987 for helping me with some of the errors.

I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, if not then I understand but please be nice about it, no rude criticisms. ENJOY!

Chapter 10

Widows in the Basement

Back in the box, it has been an hour since the sinners returned to the box, Allen has chosen to return to Sickle with Behemo to explain his reasons for going to Yingmu without the sun god's consent. It was a quarter till noon. Nemesis was in the kitchen opening two large loafs of bread and starting spreading mayonnaise on them with a butter knife, then taking out the mustard, cheese, turkey, lettuce, tomato, and onion from the fridge, she seems to be making hero sandwiches for the sinners, just then Margarita returns from her gardening  duties from the backyard, covered in dirt and bringing with her is a basket full of spring onions.

"Hey! This ain't a barn, woman!" Nemesis snapped at the Marchioness.

"Sorry, I just got done tending to my leeks."

"Well no need tracking dirt everywhere, I'm making you guys lunch here."

"Oh good!" She sat down by the table and began looking at the ring she was given by Jun, completely unaware that it's an engagement ring. "It's a very pretty ring."

"And expensive, considering how my Dad was groveling over it." Nemesis sneered as she cracked open a can of Pepsi and took a gulp from it.

"I thought you swore off that beverage after seeing Gallerian's rump."

"Meh, I've seen more disturbing things compared to Dad's disgusting fat ass." She applies mustard on the bread loafs.

"I HEARD THAT, HUSSY!" Gallerian yelled in the other room.

"NO ONE'S EVEN TALKING TO YOU!...Where was I? Oh yeah, you want any potato salad?"

"No thank you, a sandwich and vegetable juice would do."

"Ok." She continued making the sandwich.

In the Living room

Kayo was napping with a pair of scissors close to her while covered in fabrics she brought home from Yingmu, Gallerian was showering himself in the kingdom's gold, Sateriasis was fresh from his second shower after having to make love to three crossdressers, and Riliane was playing chess with the said Duke, so far it's a tie, so and so that they have to get one of their kings in order to win the game.

"Move your King over here." Riliane said.

"I know what your doing, Brat, and your despicable for trying." Sateriasis said coldly.

"Said the guy who defiled thousands of women 24/7." Gallerian snidded.

"Your no better than me considering you defiled Nemesis's mother." The Duke joked before getting hit in the head by a hand sized ruby. "OW," he exclaimed knocking over the chess pieces.

"DON'T EVER SPEAK OF THAT INCIDENT AGAIN!" He spat at Sateriasis, which prompted Kayo to wake up. "Sorry Kayo."

"It's fine Judge, *yawn* I didn't mean to fall asleep." She stretched.

"No need to hit me though." Sateriasis began picking up the chess pieces, putting them back into their places.

"Hey! My Knight was a B6!" Riliane exclaimed.

"No it was a E2."

"B6!"

"E2!"

"B6!" The two went back and forth while pulling on the knight until Sateriasis snapped and flipped the game board over, startling the other sinners.

"THERE! YOU SEE THAT!? YOU SEE THAT, RILIANE!? NOW YOUR KNIGHT IS A BOOKCASE 5!"

"Now look who's calling who a brat." Riliane snidded at the Duke.

"Yeah well look who still comes out a winner? Me." He stood on top of the coffee table and  started swaying his hips left and right with his arms up. "Sateriasis wins again! Woop! Woop!"

"I'm gonna give you to the count of ten to stop doing that before I bust your ankle on this table." Riliane threatened with a dark tone in her voice.

"Hey hey there's no need to talk to him that way." Banica said as she came down the stairs with damp hair, finally clean from the grease and wood, she's wearing a red t-shirt and grey jean shorts.

"What's with the modern attire? Or is that body paint?" Riliane asked.

"My dress is currently in the wash because of the grease, so Nemesis's clothes is all I can wear until it's clean, and it fits me just right." Banica said as she ruffles her brown hair with a towel.

"Is Nemesis ok with that?" Kayo asked while rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah. I asked." She then threw the towel at Sateriasis. "So what's going on with you guys?"

"This pervert is acting like a big baby while the judicial play boy is throwing gems at him."

"Shut up Riliane." Gallerian said as he curled up into a ball, puffing his cheeks.

"LUNCH IS SERVED! COME AND GET IT!" Nemesis yelled at them from the kitchen while ringing a small bell that could be used for a servant.

"We're comiiiiing!" Riliane called, the sinners walked into the kitchen and soon enough they're at the table, Kayo seemed to be rubbing her eyes a little.

"Did you take a nap, Kayo?"

"Only a little bit, I got exhausted after tailoring with Yingmu's fabrics, you guys are gonna love the fruit of my labor." Kayo said sluggishly.

"Cool. Here's your sandwich, Ass-hat." Nemesis shoves the sub to her father, which he takes from her and proceeds eating it, only for him to gag a little.

"Was that tomato? You know that I hate tomatoes." He took out the half bitten tomato and gives it to Banica, who gladly ate it. Nemesis just rolled her eyes at him.

"So these are sandwiches?" Sateriasis asked, pointing at the sandwich.

"Yeah, you stuff your favorite cheeses, vegetables, and meats into two pieces or sides of bread." Banica said to the Duke. "And you eat like this." She picked up the sandwich and took a bite of it. "Nom nom nom."

"I see." Sateriasis eats it.

"A man stuck in the past, pitiful." Gallerian said.

"Put a sock in it, Dad." Nemesis said as she flicked his head.

"Hey hey hey." Riliane said, cutting them off. "Before you two turn our lunch into another domestic dispute, I just remembered something; I found a door under a flight of stairs."

"So?" Banica asked after finishing her first sandwich, she was about to grab her second one.

"First off:" Riliane smacked Banica's hand. "Save that sandwich for Allen, and secondly: I want to do things to that basement like make a torture chamber out of it for example."

"Heh, I can go for a torture chamber." Nemesis smirked, already getting ideas revolving around her father.

"Go to hell, demon." Gallerian sneered at her, getting a good idea what his daughter's thinking of.

"Don't be sadistic you guys." Margarita said. "I think it could be a nice place for chemistry."

"But they confiscated your set." Sateriasis said.

"Oh."

"I would go for a small tailor shop, but at this moment I don't, in fact I suggest you people leave the basement alone if you know what's good for you until Allen returns."

"Why?" Riliane asked.

"Nothing...I said too much." Kayo stood up and walked out.

"Tch, she's so weird."

"It's probably just a couple of bugs and rodents in there, we can get them out faster then I can say "Bon Appetit"." Banica said, licking her own lips.

"Meh, I guess your right."

After Lunch

Nemesis and Riliane are standing in front of the basement door. Brooms, flash lights, and Bug spray in hand.

"Ready, Nems?" Riliane asked.

"Ready." Nemesis responded.

"Here we go!" Riliane opened it, but it was locked. "Well that killed the moment."

"I got it." Nemesis began to pick the lock with her hair pin, a click can be heard. "And opens." She said as the door opens, she then used a flash light inside the room and found there was a flight of stairs covered in carpet and a wall that seems to turn the corner to a small flight of stairs, down below was a chain used to turn on the lights. They slowly walked down to the switch and turned it on, the walls was a nice pale yellow with brown lining near the floor. They then turn the corner to find a very dark room, the only thing that can be seen is a screen window that's opened, Nemesis sees a light switch near the opening of the room. "Alright, here's go nothing." Nemesis said as she flicked the switch, much to their surprise and horror, there was lots and lots of cobwebs across the empty room, dead corpses of flies and different kinds of bugs on the ground, and a large colony of Black Widows scattering across the walls, floor, and ceilings, and judging by the size of them it means they're ready to lay eggs. The two girls screamed in horror when they saw the nest before them and ran up the stairs, slamming the door to the basement shut.

"So, what's in there?" Sateriasis asked.

"BLACK WIDOWS! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!" Riliane exclaimed in terror.

"I don't want to alarm you, but there's something moving in your hair, Riliane." Gallerian said pointing at the spider.

"OH MY GOSH IT'S BIG!" Margarita gasped in horror.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!"

"Hold still honey, I wanna try it!" Banica said trying to calm the tyrant down, she grabbed the black widow by it's bottom and tossed it in her mouth, making a crunch sound. "Crunchy, chewy, juicy, and tangy, it would make a pleasant topping for pasta." Banica said, causing the men behind her to groan in disgust.

"Don't worry, Riliane. It's gone now." Margarita said patting Riliane's back as the tailor panted, still shook up and frightened by the experience.

"This ain't good, those little buggers look like they're gonna lay eggs any day now, this whole box would be infested and we'll be bitten." Nemesis said, recovering from the scare.

"But don't they bite when they're under attack?" Margarita asked.

"They do but for once I have to agree with Nemesis." Gallerian said. "We're not taking chances with getting bitten."

"And we only have so much bug spray." Nemesis said.

"Then we'll have to take care of them one by one by ourselves." Venomania said.

Plan A: Peacekeeping

"Margarita, I don't think it's gonna work." Gallerian said.

"Don't worry, Judge, I've come prepared." Margarita was geared in a long-sleeved sweater, a pair of trousers, boots, and gloves, just so she won't be bitten, she was also holding a plastic megaphone. She gone down to the basement and turned on the megaphone, yelling: "ATTENTION SPIDERS! YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR YOUNGLINGS AND LEAVE THIS BASEMENT AT ONCE!" She said with a stern tone with her voice. "I MEAN IT! I'M NOT GONNA SAY THIS AGAIN!" Without even knowing, some of them began climbing on her pigtails up to her neck and face. "Ummm, please?" They start biting her on her face and neck. "OW! OW! OW! THEY'RE BITING ME!" She ran out of the room, "OW! OW! IT HURTS!" Up stairs, Banica began taking the spiders off of her and putting them in a jar while Nemesis began rubbing Antivenin on her wounds to avoid infection.

"I thought asking them to leave was a good idea." Margarita said, wincing in pain.

"They're arachnids woman, animals, they won't listen to reason." Nemesis said.

"Ow, I blame Mikulia's love for fairy tales."

"Watch it, Marchioness, she was fun to be around with in my harem." Sateriasis poked her face.

"Ow."

"Sorry, but please."

Plan B: Stomping

Sateriasis went inside the basement and stood at it's center, he began killing each widow under his boots. One by one they fall victim to the licentious duke's feet. "Seriously Duke, your gonna kill them like that?" Gallerian scoffed at the noble while standing by the entrance.

"Well the people in my time don't exactly have these things called "bug spray", Judge." He scoffed, "Stomping is known to be a last resort." As he kept stomping on the widows, they began climbing into his coat and onto his face and hands. "No! NO! AHHH! OOOW!" They began to bite him as well. "AHHHH! MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!" And Gallerian just sat back, holding in his laugh at the site before him, very cruel one might say, just then Gallerian felt something crawling onto the back of his neck and bit him there.

"OW!" He slapped his neck and found a now dead black widow on his hand, karma just reared it's ugly head on the judicial miser as they start climbing on and biting him. "OW! OWW! AHH!"

The two men eventually ran out of the basement, Gallerian hitting the wall by his nose thus causing the spiders to fall off and his nose to bleed while Sateriasis removed his coat and shirt to find my bites on his body. "OH MY GOD! THOSE LITTLE MONSTERS MADE ME HIDEOUS!" He screamed in complete agony from the spiders as Banica started taking more spiders off of him and put them in the jar while Nemesis starts applying antivenin onto him.

"Th-there's on me! g-get it!" Gallerian said as he held his nose.

"No, I rather like you covered in bites and rabies." Nemesis sassed.

"You're a bitch."

"Come on! Now's not the time to act like jerks to one another!" Riliane said, now finally recovering from the shock herself. "I think it's best to leave the basement alone until we can find a decent way to take care of them, Allen would know what to do."

"Well he isn't here now is h-Ow! Ok seriously get these bite checked out, Nemesis!"

"Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine." Nemesis went and fixed up father's wounds.

"Hm, I think I got an idea of what to do with the situation, but it's gonna take gift to do it." Sateriasis said.

"Eh?"

"I'm not sure about that idea, Duke." Banica said as she closed the jar.

"THOSE MONSTERS DID THIS TO ME! THEY'RE GONNA PAY FOR IT!"

"Ok! Ok! Got it."

"Say, stop me if I'm wrong but, how are you not infected by the bites?" Margarita asked as she pointed at the spider bites on Banica's finger tips.

"I'm immune to all poisons, I even ate the shaved dust of Grim the End, makes a excellent spice."

"You're crazy."

Plan C: Basement go boom boom

Nemesis and Margarita were wearing masks as Nemesis began dumping gun powder into a medium sized pot full of bug spray and some of the few ingredients use to make GIFT, no blood included. Margarita was stirring the mixture carefully as it started to turn into a pretty shade of dark aqua green despite it's use. "Is it ready yet?" Banica asked, Margarita held the spoon to Banica since she's immune to other illnesses and deadly smells. "The smell is strong, it might be enough to either kill or drive the widows out of their nests."

"I hope so too, Banica. Oh Judge, is the container ready?"

"Yes." He said wearing a mask and molding a mound of plaster and flammable clay into a round shape, a nozzle to attach it's self to a lid, and made a long string attached to a lid to lit it up with.

"Good." Margarita then went and poured the mixture into the round container, Nemesis also poured a little more gun powder for good measure.

"It's ready, our "Bug-b-gone gift bomb"." Nemesis said as she took the bomb into the basement, she lit up a match with a match to the boot and lit it on the rope on the bomb, she threw it, ran out, and slammed the door shut to avoid the explosion. "HIT THE DECK!" Everyone prepared for what might happen, just then...

BOOOOOOOOOM

The bomb went off, teal green smoke began to come out from the bottom of the door. Tempting to know what happened down there; Banica opened the door and out of the teal smoke was a army of Black Widows running out with their young on their backs, climbing on the sinners and started viciously biting them, in addition to that; the smoke reached the sprinklers in the basement's ceilings and began setting off the rest of the sprinklers, drenching everything and everyone in water. Just then Kayo appeared from the attic, covered in the fabrics from Yingmu. "What's going on down there?" She climbed down from the attic, walked down the stairs, and saw the mayhem taking place. "OH MY GOD!"

"OPEN THE FRONT DOOR, KAYO! HURRY!" Riliane screamed while trying to get the spiders off of her. Kayo ran to the front door, she started getting bitten by her ankles.

"OW! OW! OW!" She chatted in pain as she ran.

Outside the house, two minutes earlier

A white light appeared in the Keyhole shaped sun and floated down to the front porch, the forms appear to be that of Allen and Behemo with Behemo now refreshed and wearing his trademark maid's dress. "Ahhhh, I was afraid that Sickle was gonna blow his top up into space." Allen sighed as he rubbed his temples with his thumb and forefinger.

"Well at least he was able to calm down and settled things with Jun, now the sinners can have access to Yingmu when you ask them to." Behemo said as he straighten his hair.

"Only when they deserved it, as an award for good behavior and not driving me insa-WHOA!" He was startled when he saw water coming from the bottom of the door, wondering what could have caused it. "What is going on in there?" Just when he's about to unlock the door, Kayo busted the door open, soaked in water and covered in black widows. Her current appearance caused Behemo and Allen to scream in utter terror while Kayo screamed because of the pain and the two blonds screaming at her. The black widows ran off through the open door and into the wild of the dark gray forest, never to be seen again. After Kayo fell onto her knees, Behemo and Allen looked over her and saw sprinklers going off, the remaining black widows on the ground dead from either drowning, stomping, or succumbing to the effects of the bug spray-gift bomb hybrid, and the sinners drenched and covered in spider bites. "...I...refused...to ask..." Allen slowly backs away from the devastation.

"...You guys found the basement, did you?" Behemo asked sheepishly.

"I told them not to." Was Kayo's only reply.

"Don't worry, we'll do something about it, love." He patted her head. "In the meantime, we better get your guy's wounds checked up and make sure you don't succumbed to their venom." He motioned his hands to get the sinners to come with him, they did as he said.

"You just have to use the bomb, Nemesis." Gallerian sneered, before sneezing.

"Not now with that bullcrap, Father." She barked at him, Behemo looked at Allen and asked:

"You think they're gonna suffer arachnophobia because of this?"

"I don't know, but how am I gonna explain THIS to Sickle?" Allen said as he pointed at the mess inside.

"Ehhh you're right, you're screwed kid, looks like YOU'LL be going into the Hellish Yard with the sinners."

END CHAPTER

*This chapter is inspired by my fear of spiders, I figured I can use my fear to my advantage for storytelling. In addition to that, I chose the Southern Black Widow as the eight legged inhabitants of the basement because to me they're extremely creepy *shivers*.

**I was gonna have all the spiders in the basement killed, but I decided not to because that would make me an more of a abomination than them considering that they're people who like Spiders and find Black Widows to be beautiful compared to my arachnophobia, they're only doing their job in eating annoying and/or disease ridden pests, and they only bite when provoked.

***The chess scene was loosely inspired by a scene from Family Guy where Stewie and Brian are playing and fighting over chess.
