Queen's Fury

Concert of Destruction
Lieselotte stood ontop of the deck of his flagship, Jumping Caroline looking out at the Marine base that was to be his destination, for too long had that base threatened the operations of he and his lovely candies at his seat in Mariposa. It would not be permitted to do so any longer, for he was the Queen of Hearts and the Marines were oppressive agents of an unjust system and even if many of them would die in the act of war that Lieselotte was about to make, it was a life they had chosen on their own and so they would die as warriors, without the slightest pity from the furious Queen.

Grandest among the Okama, Lieselotte nonetheless had an obligation to show them that although he intended to destroy them with flows of magma and volcanic eruptions, that at some point he still loved them. Even if he despised what those men and women had become, it was a tender thought that brought a tear to his eye, which the regal queen promptly wiped away with a freshly manicured pink nail.

"My candies, stay behind here on the safety of the boat, a queen handling her unruly subjects is a private matter! Especially so when mentioned it involves enormous amounts of magma, devastation and even... death!"

It was a short speech, but it had the desired effect as some of the most tenderhearted of the Okama began to tear up at the sheer sincerity of Lieselotte, reaffirmed in their beliefs that he was the rightful queen. As if to emphasise this the beloved Queen jumped from the boat and landed on the water surface without sinking as magma flowed continuously underneath him to create a tiny island that slowly expanded as the Queen danced closer and closer to the Marine Base. But then something strange occurred as the Queen began to sing heartily in a powerful and strangely beautiful voice that intermixed with the spirit of a Queen within him and was therefore expanded in volume in such a manner that everyone within several miles could hear its enchanting tune.

Meanwhile, Okama onboard of the Jumping Carlone began to play a variety of musical instruments that were similarly broadcasted by a chorus of Den-Den Mushi to accompany the song sung by the Queen of Hearts.

"♪ I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be, too many bitter tears are raining down on me, I'm far away from home, and I've been facing this alone for much too long ♪"

Lieselotte's voice rippled across the landscape and resounded within the mind of all marines on the island as he continued his impromptu solo.

"♪ Oh, I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me about growing up and what a struggle it would be, in my tangled state of mind I've been looking back to find where I went wrong ♪"

Columns of steam now rose from the sea around Lieselotte's expanding island as the immensely hot magma collided with the cold seawater and provided terrific special effects for the dancing Queen and her song.

"♪ Too much love will kill you if you can't make up your mind, torn between the lover and the love you leave behind. You're headed for disaster 'cause you never read the signs. ♪"

What followed was a rapid succession of probably unnecessary pirouettes for dramatic effect from Lieselotte, but his voice did not falter even as his dance drew him further and further away from his ship. Undoubtedly he had most of the islands attention by now as the island he was making would resemble a catwalk at this point seen from the proper altitude.

"♪ Too much love will kill you... ♪"

Lieselotte gracefully ended his pirouette as his voice took on a darker and more vengeful tone as he completed the refrain, his eyes ablaze with the power of the Magu Magu no Mi as he directed a hand towards the Marine Base.

"♪ Every time. ♪"

No sooner had the words been spoken before an entire region of the Marine Base within sight of Lieselotte began to tremble, shudder and quake violently before being split apart by an enormous pillar of magma, causing a large portion of the surrounding landscape to tumble into the surrounding seas and scattering immense fireballs of destruction throughout the island. Setting ablaze most of the marine base and claiming an untold number of lives. Shortly afterwards a figure appeared at the epicentre of the explosion, as magma drowned surrounding structures and the skies darkened with thunderclouds above summoned by the sheer heat.

The figure that appeared was none other than Lieselotte himself who now stood on the doomed island, having burrowed through the core of his self-made island into the very crust of the earth and back out inside the marine base, it was an immensely useful tool of the Magu Magu no Mi. There were no survivors in this part of the naval base; the Queen noted as he began to move further into the station to complete the massacre.
