(3rd pov)
It's been couple of days since Edward conquered Aragon kingdom and added his island to his kingdom and Alma haven't shown any disobedient or start to plot something.
Dorathea fit in quite nicely, at first she was very afraid and nervous but she start to love it there, Edward just give her a little push, she have a couple of friends now, something she never had and she could still visit her mother, so yeah she's happy and her brother? Well she still sad about him but she trying to comes in terms with it, especially when she doesn't have the strength to get revenge.
Also Technus appeared 3 days ago and Edward used carrots and stick technique on him, he first beat him but then told him that he see the potential of a great inventor in him and ask Technus to join him, he promised to give him the materials he needs for his invention, he also promised that Technus could challenge him once a year, Technus being beaten then praised then was given a silver line, accepted the offer.
After that came the whole Pointdexter situation which Edward didn't care and then today he is at the Amity Park Swap Meet, Amity Park swap meet is a flea market in Amity Park where people can buy, sell, and trade items.
This the place that Desiree appeared for the first time in the show, that's why Edward is here with Danny and tucker.
Desiree is a genie-like ghost who wanders the world granting anyone their deepest desires, but manifests them in the worst way possible. The more wishes she grants, the more powerful she becomes.
Before she died, Desiree was a harem girl who had won the heart of a sultan. He promised to grant her all of her heart's desires and even a kingdom of her very own.
However, she was cast away from the palace by the sultan's jealous wife. After dying of a broken heart and old age, Desiree's spirit wandered around as a ghost genie, forever granting others' wishes, but at a great personal cost.
Desiree somehow lands in a genie bottle, which ends up on display at a swap meet. At swap meet, Desiree is unintentionally freed by a little girl who begs her mother for cotton candy when her balloon knocks her bottle over breaking it. She grants the girl's wish by producing a tidal wave of cotton candy that destroys the swap meet. Danny fights her and uses his ghost ray for the first time to blast her away.
Afterwards, she continues granting other wishes: turning Dash into a huge monster to crush the other football team, turning Paulina into a cute anime character and making a surfer's car able to fly. Tucker, jealous of Danny's ghost powers, wishes for ghost powers of his own.
Desiree grants his wish, turning him into Tucker Phantom. Danny captures Desiree by wishing her to disappear into the thermos then defeats Tucker Phantom.
That's how the whole thing went but Edward doesn't plan to let anything like this happen.
(MC pov)
Finally, the day I could gain the partnership of a powerful ghost granting genie.
"So you and Sam are like dating now?"tucker asked
"Yes we are dating"Danny said with a smile
Yeah they start dating, with me here they don't need months to confess their feelings to eachother, seriously some show make it so fucking complicated.
"Anyway what do you guys want to buy? I'm just here to walk and talk to you guys, I don't really want to buy anything" Danny said
"I'm looking to see if I can. find a some broken tech so I can fix them"tucker said
"I'm here to buy a genie bottle" they raised their eyebrows at that
"Your kidding right?" Danny asked while I used my observation haki and found Madam Babazita antique shop
"No" I said and left them and walked toward the shop
"See you guys later" I said
After a short walk I stood in front of Madam Babazita.
"Hello madam, I'm here to buy a genie bottle" I said
"Hello to you too and can you tell me which genie bottle"she asked with a smile
I pointed to genie bottle that I could feel ecto energy from it.
"Oh this is a really old one, it's was told that the person inside..." I didn't let her finish and interrupted her
"No need, I already know the story madam" I said
"Oh so you know it's very pricey, right?" She asked
"How much?"I asked
"200 bucks "she said
If it was just a fake bottle then yes it would be a scam but Desiree is inside that bottle so yeah it worth it.
I paid her and pick up the item I brought and went behind a tree, used stealth and then teleported to my real apartment.
"Caw" ruby greeted me as I go back to my original body, not a body of a 14 year old boy
"How are my cute raven?" I asked while pating her head
"Caw"
"Good to see you adjusting to your new powers, why don't you go around the world and steal from criminals, collect evidence too and drop it in police station, make them suffer"I said and I saw flash of greed in her eyes but it disappeared soon
"Caw " she said with happiness and left
I placed the bottle on the table when suddenly my shadow appeared besidethe bottle and looked at me with interest.
"What?"I asked, I don't expect him to answer me since he can't talk but I could get what he wants to say
My shadow slowly and unnaturally began to stretch. The head elongated first, slimming into something deerlike, the outline of tall, sharp antlers sprouting upward in jagged curves. The shoulders became narrow and sloped, the torso thin and eerily straight, as if pulled taut by invisible threads.
A long, pointed grin split across the shadow's face, stretching farther than any real mouth could. The smile flickered like a radio frequency struggling to come into focus.
The arms thinned into crooked, puppetlike limbs, one elongating farther than the other as if reaching toward the person casting it. Fingers sharpened into clawlike points, twitching in jerky bursts. The normally flat darkness rippled, like static crawling through spilled ink.
The transformation was over, my shadow becomes a tall, grinning, antlered figure cast entirely in ink-black darkness.
The shadow is unmistakably belong to Alastor, the Radio Demon from hazbin hotel series.
"So you plan to copy alastor shadow and scare the shit out of our enemies? That's honestly genius" I said, why I didn't think of it first, it would be so good for intimidating someone
"Well now let's get back to business" I said and my shadow returned to its original place
I want Desiree to be on my side but I need to be careful. She have the power to grant wishes but she would twist it or make you face a consequence so bad that you wished you never made that wish.
She also hate men since the sultan she seduced didn't defend her against his wife which in my opinion it's hypocritical, sure that man didn't defend her and didn't stop her wife but her wife was also the person that was cruel to her, in this case shouldn't she hate both men and women?
I still don't know if she is forced to accept any wishes or she can ignore any wish she wants, honestly I think she is forced to grant those wishes even though she doesn't want to but I also know she have limits.
In the show I saw Desiree grant a man wish for a lot of money and that man used that money to impress the woman he likes, now if she can grant any wish why didn't she just straight up make the woman fall in love with the man? Well my guess is that she can't grant those wishes.
I take a deep breath and the rub the bottle.
The temperature dropped instantly and the bottle began to glow. Green mist poured from the neck of the bottle, swirling upward, It coalesced, thickened, and then snapped into the shape of a woman, floating, ethereal and dressed in layered green silks that fluttered despite the still air.
she lifted her chin, surveying her surroundings and when her eyes finally landed on me, she smiled, a widened and sharp smile.
She must thinks I'm just another fool, here to wish for something and she would twist it into a nightmare. She thinks me dumb, feeble. She is wrong.
Desiree is a tall, beautiful and green-skinned ghost with an hourglass figure, red eyes, long and thick black hair that is slightly messy at the bottom, and wears plum lipstick on her lips. As per being a genie, she has no legs and sports a wispy blue tail.
"I am Desiree. What is your wish?" She said with a smile
(Desiree pov)
Finally out of that damn bottle, I was going insane if someone didn't release me soon. Note to self, sealing yourself in a genie bottle isn't a good idea.
"I have many things I want but why would I tell you?" The human said
"Because mortal, I am Desiree, and I have the power to grant your deepest desires"I said
"Pun intended?" He asked with amusement in his voice and I don't understand what he means but I know that he starting to annoye me
Before I could say anything he talked.
"Forget it, so you said you can grant my wishes but what's the catch? I don't believe you are doing this out of the goodness of your heart" most people would start saying their wish after wish by now, he is annoying but I won't show it on my face
"Well I'm obviously a genie and you just freed me so I am obligated to grant your wishes"I said with a smile
Come on human, you rub that damn bottle and i came out of it, with this outfit and all others thing why can't you understand something so obvious that I am a genie, well I'm a ghost with wish granting power but he doesn't need to know that.
"It just seems a little too good to be true"he said
"Well why... " he interrupted me before I could finish what I wanted to say
"Also I have a questio..."
"Why don't you just shut up for a moment" I said and then cursed myself, what if he gets scared and don't wish for anything now
"What I wanted to say is that go ahead, ask me anything" I said, using a sultry voice on purpose
"Yeah I'm sure that's what you wanted to say, I believe you " his face says that he doesn't believe me, damnit " anyway I wanted to ask this, what is your wish"
It's took a moment till my mind processed his words.
"Huh?" I said
"I'm mean you probably go around granting other people wishes but what's your wish" he said, unlike before where he was rude, this time he seem curious and sincere
What is my wish? I guess it's to be loved, valued and never, never to be abandoned again. That's why I need to become so powerful.
That's being said, I don't intend to tell this complete stranger my wish.
"What is my wish doesn't matter, looks I know you are cautious and it's not a bad thing but this way we will go nowhere, why don't you just try one time?Wish for something and see if it's real" wish for something already god damnit
"Okay" he said
"I wi...." Huh? Why did he stop?
" You really thought I would say it? Hahhaha" he mocks me
"That's it. Fuck this. I'll just find someone else" I said and raised my hand in anger and shoot an ecto energy ray at him
The power in the attack was so low, I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to hurt him. I expected shock and then moan of pain, what I didn't expect was that my ecto energy ray completely phase through him without harming him and hit the ground behind.
"What just happened?" I asked
(MC pov)
Enough playing games with her, it's time to show her who I am and then offer a partnership.
I transform into my ghost form and flew slowly towards her until I'm standing in front of Desiree.
"What are you?" She asked
"I'm Edward Kenway but most ghosts know me as the outsider"I said and offered a handshake
She was hesitant for a second but then she shook my hand.
"So you were a ghost, did you shape shift into a human to have some fun and then found my bottle, and after you found out I'm inside that bottle you decided to have some fun"she concluded
"You see my dear, in a normal situation you might have been right but I assure you this is not a normal situation"I said and then I told her that I'm half ghost half human and about how I conquered couple of tribes in the ghost zone and finally I offered a partnership
"I don't think I want to work with you but I could help you solve your problems, all you need to do is to wish for it" she offered
"Believe me, you will want this partnership" I said
"And why should I accept?" She asked
"Because I know your wish Desiree" I said
(Desiree pov)
"Yeah? What is my wish" I asked
Damn halfa, the only reason I didn't attack him for playing a prank on me is because I have yet to grant anyone wishes and I'm still at my weakest state.
"To be valued and to be never be abandoned again"he said
I froze, then I gathered ecto energy in my right hand and throw a punch at him but he easily stopped my punch with his left hand.
"How do you know this" I asked stopping myself from exploding with anger
I never told anyone, never. I know ghost can have powers special to them so maybe this asshole have something like mind reading ability.
"It's really easy to find out really, I just needed to track your origin story and and then all I needed is to know what happened in your life to understand what do you want, it's not rocket science" okay he probably doesn't have mind reading abilities, the asshole is just smart
"So what if you know my wish? I still don't accept your offer" I said
"I understand but think about it, your weakness is so obvious, isn't better to have me as your friend?" he said
"And what is my weakness?"
"You are forced to grant any wish you hear"
"Puff, that's your plan? Do you think no one thought about this, some idiot in ghost zone thought they could wish to defeat me so I admit to being defeated and the consequences of their wish was them going to near death state, it took a long time for them to recover, even for a ghost " I said
"If the wish is something grand, selfish or emotionally driven then yeah but what about this?" He said and take out something, I don't what it is
"I wish you go inside this thermos" he said
"Your wish is granted" what an idiot
(5 minutes later)
not even an hour and I got locked in something else, this most be a record Desiree.
Suddenly I saw light, he opened the lit and without wasting a moment I got out of the damn thing that is called a thermos
I found him sitting on his chair with a smirk on his face.
"Okay you proved your point" honestly it doesn't seem so bad to accept his offer for a partnership, he seems to be a powerful gho.. well half ghost and he knows a way to defeat me easily with that thing
"I refuse " I said, am I being spiteful? Yes, am i letting my pride control me? Yes but I will be damn if I let myself be forced in a partnership especially by a man. Even if it profitable for me
"*Sigh* you are being so difficult" he said
"Is there anyway to change your mind?" he asked
"You can start by apologizing to me for forcing me in that bottle.. I'm mean thermos, that was very rude" I said
Suddenly he eyes turned sharp. His playful and tired eyes from convincing me to join him is gone.
"You want an apology? Really? " He stand up and slowly walk towards me until he stood in front of me
Not gonna lie, I was scared for a moment but I snapped out of it.
"I don't remember you apologising to me when you tried to trick me into wishing for something, thinking that I'm just a human" he said
I admit he got me there.
"You think yourself better? When you were a alive, you were a harem girl, you seduced a man that has a wife using your body, not because you loved him but because you wanted wealth and power, after you didn't get it and died, you turned into a ghost, you went around granting people wishes and twist them as much you can, thinking they are so low for such a selfish wish when you yourself were that selfish when you were alive and honestly you didn't change much, did you ? You are selfish even now, wishing for more power" he said
I was stunned. I couldn't open my mouth to answer. I lowered my head in shame. I couldn't look into his eyes.
"But I didn't shame you for such things did I ?" He asked and I didn't answer
"I know everyone are kinda selfish in their own way and it's not something to be ashamed of, well hurting innocent people is something to be ashamed, even I hurt some innocent ghost, but I also believe in a second chance, beside you didn't kill them, yes you hurt them but didn't kill them" he said with a hint of gentleness in his voice and honestly it made me feel better
After going through everything he said How the hell in hundreds of years I never saw my own hypocrisy? No I saw it but I decided to ignore it, until he throws all of it on my face.
I take a deep breath.
*Deep breath*
"I apologize for trying to trick you into wishing for something so I can twist it" I said
" Now that wasn't so hard was it? I also apologize for making you so angry and annoyed at the start" he said, surprising me
Didn't thought he would apologize, how long has it been since I had a civilised conversation with someone? I don't remember.
(MC pov)
Well I'm glad she isn't blind to her own hypocrisy. Through my observation haki and spirit vision I can sense and see that she feels better, using this skills to understand her feeling is very useful otherwise I wouldn't have an edge in this conversation.
"Okay, Edward why don't you tell me the deal you have for me, I would probably won't accept it but hey at least I can hear you out" she said
"That's all I need, also don't worry I would cancel my first wish if you are still hell bent on saying no"I said
"I wish that Desiree would only respond to wishes that I personally direct to her, and that she would be completely free to ignore all other wishes other than mine without any consequence to herself. And I wish this change would not alter Desiree's personality or freedom." I said with a smile
I thought how to fix her weakness and wishing for it seems the easiest way while also keeping her weakness in cane she tries to betray me.
Desiree eyes widen.
" oh you clever little halfa" she said then smile wickedly" your wish is granted"
I waited a few seconds and fortunately I didn't face any consequence.
"What do you think?" I asked
"It's clever, now I am only forced to grant your wishes and I can also ignore others people wishes if they want to use my weakness against me" she said" but I'm still forced to grant your wishes and I am at disadvantages, I won't accept such one sided partnership"
Shit I was hoping she would let it go but I guess no one is that much an idiot to a accept an unfair deal like this. The series show villain so stupid but now, in a real world they are not some one dimensional characters.
"Well how can I be sure that you won't double cross me when you become so powerful?" I asked
"You can never be sure" she smirked
I thought about it a little and came up with another wish.
" I wish that if I ever make a wish or did something that causes Desiree harm, strips her autonomy, or treats her as a tool rather than a person, that wish will immediately fail, and I will permanently lose the ability to make wishes through her, unless I did or wished her harm or strips her autonomy because she betrayed me" her smirk disappeared
"Your wish is granted"she said with disbelief
"We are partners now? " She asked with uncertainty, I'm puzzled by her behaviour but I nodded
"Equal partners?" I nodded again and said"you should be proud, I won't usually offer such fair deal to people"
I wouldn't offer such fair deal to her if I knew I could beat her into becoming my subordinate but unlike others ghosts her powers are to unpredictable without her being happy or agree to do it and she is to prideful to submit, I'm sure she would try to make every wish of mine a personal hell if I forced her.
"Hehe hahahahahahaha" she started laughing like a crazy person
"A partner, someone who won't betray me or leave me hahahaha, after centuries I have finally someone on my side and in such unbelievable way, without me actively trying to find someone, oh the irony of my current situation" yeah I think she lost it, well I kinda get it, being alone for so long, without any friends, it must have been very hard for her
Suddenly she grab my face, surprisingly gently and bring her face close to mine and look me into the eyes.
"I officially accept this partnership, Edward"
I don't know why but suddenly I have a bad feeling about this.
_________________________________________________________
Author: I honestly wish I could write more and faster
At first my plan for Desiree was the first wish where Edward would have the upper hand but no matter how I thought about it, no one would accept such unfair deal where the other can easily abandon or betray them, it would be a betrayal to Desiree personality if I wrote that she accept the first wish.
Also I watched hazbin hotel season 2 and that is the reason I made Edward's shadow copy alastor's shadow, it was just come into my mind suddenly, I'm mean Edward already had an alive shadow, no reason to not make his shadow scary.
Also what do you think of Edward gaining some radio power and now that I think about it if Edward broadcast his enemies screaming in pain from radio, it could causes a lot of fear into the heart of his enemies, of course he won't broadcast it in his own kingdom but like in other tribes and other kingdoms that he wants to conquer and then imagine people giving him another title, the Radio Ghost.
Also I have an idea for a fanfic, I don't want to write it, just writing it here and see if anyone wants to write it, it's simple, a teenage transmigration into DC world and then adopted by Selina Kyle ( Catwoman) and get this, the MC have the power of cat noir from the miraculous ladybug world, the love interest could be Barbara Gordon( batgril) or Kara( Supergirl), also MC becomes a thief, like his mother.
Also recently I'm reading a miraculous ladybug fanfic and it honestly good, better than anything else out there. The name of the fanfic is Miraculous Ladybag Happy Life, sure MC past is still unknown but I think maybe he was in the emo world first then come to the original world, just my guess.
Also I really somewhere this that Lila in season 6( I haven't watched it) could just use the the technique that allows the current user to talk with the past user of miraculous so she could ask the ladybug true identity.
Also tell me what do you think about this chapter.
Also Edward in one or two chapter finally would go back to to his world and finally meet Ramona after such long time. Also smut is unavoidable when they meet.
Desiree picture is in the comments.
