The intro scene opens up with OOC!Psyga bound, but not gagged, in the Tiger Dojo.
Psyga: Hello. Now, as you might have seen in the previous episode, someone decided to take over the show... And I can’t believe it’s-
Just then, a woman in her late 20’s with long purple hair wearing a black uniform dress, a red jacket, a red beret, and a silver cross shoved Psyga out of the way to talk to the camera.
Misato: Hello, all of you! I’ve decided to takeover this show and give it a new direction! I’ve learnt from my experience with the Rebuild series that a heavily bleak story will result in the lack of interest from viewers, so I decided to lighten up the mood and focus on something more comedic! Like maids!
Psyga: Okay, 1, what do maids have to do with making the mood lighter? And 2, why the Tiger Dojo?
Misato: Well, Taiga said it was okay for us to have wacky hijinx in her dojo, since she usually does that with her dojo whenever Shiro fucks up. As for the maids, I was looking through RPGs that had a good Slice of Life quality to it, and I found one that dealt heavily with maids.
Psyga: You don’t mean...
Misato: Eeeyup! We’re doing Maid RPG! That’s pretty social, right?
Psyga: {sigh} Well, we might as well use the Social Theme for this episode. There are no major changes, just that the game has to open on a social thread and that social bombs can be dropped. Well, guess it can’t be helped now...
Misato: I’m glad you finally accepted this forced Genre Shift. {goes to untie Psyga}
Psyga: To be fair, I personally think 3.0 was a failure because of the shift in genre and direction.
Misato: What’s that? Do you want to be tied up again?
Psyga: No, no, I’m good!
Misato: Good. {gives Psyga a beer} Drink up and enjoy the episode.
Psyga: Yaaaaay...
Previously... on One More Day Before The Storm...
{the group read a radio}
“Che-che-check it! I’m Rap Rat! I’m history... in da makin’! And I’m all yours for da takin’!”
{The group encounter a group of survivors}
“Got an A in attitude, and lots of rat-itude!”
{zombies attack the group, with the group’s leader blowing himself up}
“Be my last hope... and bring it to him... For peace and sanity...”
{Maliss rises from the ground, then fights Malareth}
“... I lost to him. My strategy was dumb and his soldiers were too strong.”
{Psyga is talking with The Hurt Doctor}
“... Malareth never had any of those.”
{The Go-Busters retreat into the cave}
“Gather the maids. We will be expecting guests...”
{As the title comes up, Misato speaks out the title}
Psyga: Was that necessary?
{Misato knees him}
Psyga: OW!

The mansion doors swing open as the Go-Busters enter. There, they noticed a man in a leather black jacket with a red interior. He had short black hair and a moustache.
“Hello there! Welcome to my lovely mansion!” The man said. Psyga pointed his thrower at him, but Ken stopped him. Ken then looked to the man.
“Who are you?” Ken asked.
“My name is Dante, but you can call me Dante, the Exterminator of Demons! Has a nice ring, no?” The man said, curtsying.
“... Fuck it, he’s getting the proton.” Psyga said, pointing to Dante again.
[Athletics Check: 6. Athletics Stat: 5. Roll... 1. Final Roll: 5]
Knives soon flew to Psyga, but they missed him. Still, the knives caused Psyga to back off. Just then, a butler came to Dante. He had white hair and brown eyes.
“Master, now can I, Brenda, dispose of this man?” He asked.
[Odds: No Way. Chaos Factor: 5. Emotional Stress: D6. Roll... 35, Ken takes away two brownie points to reduce that to 33, triggering a random event]
“No, Brenda. They’re too fun! They’ll fit nicely for my entertainment.” Dante said.
“Eh... Entertainment?” Psyga asked.
“Random Event!” MYTHIC declared. Brenda noticed the voice.
“Master, do you hear that?” Brenda said.
[Odds: A Sure Thing. Chaos Factor: 5. Emotional Stress: d6. Roll... 26]
“Yes, I do... What is it?” Dante asked.
“Rogue Computer Program. This entire thing is The Matrix, they’re food, we’re hunters, yadda yadda, can we get going please?” Psyga asked.
[Odds: Impossible. Chaos Factor: 5. Emotional Stress: D6. Roll: 56. Ken takes away one Brownie Point to- SERIOUSLY!? MORE RANDOM EVENTS!? NO SOUP FOR YOU! AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL THIS RANDOM EVENT IS RESOLVED!]
“No. Entertain me, then you can go.” Dante said.
“... Arg... Fine.” Psyga said.
“I gotta do the Random Event, guys.” MYTHIC said.
THE EVENT FOCUS IS... PC POSITIVE! THE PC GETTING THE POSITIVE TRAIT IS... THE DOCTOR! EVENT MEANINGS DECIDED! CHANGE! VICTORY!
“I have a proposition for you.” The Doctor said.
“Hm... I will listen.” Dante said.
“Zombies are all over the place, summoned forth by the necromancer Malareth. I have with me plans that could change the very course of the battle. I offer you this: give me the resources necessary to build the device from the plans, and we will stay here and entertain you. Sound like a deal?” The Doctor asked.
[Odds: Near Sure Thing. Chaos Factor: 5. Emotional Stress: D6. Roll... 44... Random Event]
“Yes. I will allow you to work on your resource. In fact, I shall work aside you. But, we’re going to play by my rules...” Dante said. He snapped his fingers.
THE RANDOM EVENT HAS BEEN MAID IN MANHATTAN! THE MAID RPG RANDOM EVENT IS... THE SEAL THAT HELD A DEMON IS BROKEN!
Just then, a seal on the roof of the house broke. A demon flew down from the seal, snivelling and growling.
“M-master! Look out!” Brenda said, getting out his knives, but Dante held out his hand.
“You people. Fight for my amusement. That is my first command as Master.” Dante said.
“Master? Are we just dogs to you?” Psyga asked.
[Odds: Has To Be. Chaos Factor: 5. Emotional Stress: D6. Roll... 18]
“Yes. You are nothing but dogs that have to roll over and play dead, and you will be treated as such until you can prove otherwise. Now fight!” Dante said.
“... Let’s get it over with.” Psyga said as he got out his Plasma Pack. Hinako did the same.
[Fire Weapon St-]
“Woah, woah, woah! My rules, remember? Here, use these stats.” Dante said, snapping his fingers once again.
[Athletics Check: 6. Psyga and Hinako’s Athletics Skill: 2. Roll... 4. Final Roll: 8]
And they fired, effectively destroying the demon. Dante clapped his hands.
“Bravo! Bravo! Welcome to the mansion! You will find some spare maid costumes in the West Wing.” Dante said.
“M-Maids? MAIDS? MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS???” Psyga said.

Psyga stood in the dressing room, changing his clothes to a butler’s. He then looked over to Brenda, who was observing his clothes before him.
“Hey, Brenda, I thank you for giving me your suit, but why do you want to give it away?” Psyga asked.
“Well... I have been loyal to Dante-sama only because my father requested that he took me in after he died. But I don’t really care about that. I just care about money. First the riches, then the bitches, as they say.” Brenda said.
“...” Psyga then looked at Brenda again. Muscular body, anime-style hair, and a look that Hirohiko Araki would be jealous of... In fact, he looked like someone out of Araki’s work... “Uh... Brando- er, I mean Brenda... I... Erm...” Psyga began to feel awkward. Every minute he spent with Brenda felt like another minute with a murderer out to kill him. He put two and two together. Thank God he wasn’t a dog, or else he might have found himself in an incinerator, he thought.
“Is there something wrong?” Brenda said, putting on the clothes. Psyga jumped back when he saw Brenda wearing... maid clothes.
“N-no! But... Erm... Aren’t you a guy? I mean, you look like it... Shouldn’t you-” Psyga said, but was interrupted by Brenda.
“[EFF!] YOU! I’M A MAID!
◊” Brenda said, holding her headdress up high. She put it on. “This headdress is the most important and vital symbol of a maid!” She said.
“... Now I know how Haruto felt.” Psyga muttered.
“Well, now that we’re dressed, we better get going.” Brenda said.
“Oh! Uh... yes! Let’s... uh... go!” Psyga said. He then followed Brenda out of the room.

Meanwhile, in another dressing room, Ken fixed his tie and looked into the mirror. He dressed himself in the spare butler outfit that Dante had in store, and needless to say, it actually fitted him. He looked at how the suit filled out on the details when he heard small cough. He turned around and noticed a maid peeking behind the curtains.
“Hello? Do you need any assistance?” Ken asked.
[Odds: 50/50. Chaos Factor: 6. Emotional Stress: d4. Roll... 56. Ken’s not gonna reduce the point to earn a random event, as there’s already one in the works.]
“Y-yes... I... I...” She gave another cough before slipping out of the curtains. Ken could tell from the look on her face that she had been going through one heck of a fever. She had white hair, silver eyes, a gray maid dress and freckles. Ken stood in silence for a bit, then shook out of it. “I’ve been getting sicker and sicker... I... I don’t wanna upset Master, so... could you help me with the chores?” She asked him.
“Uh... I... guess? But why me of all people? Why not Brenda, or another maid?” Ken asked.
“Brenda scares me, and Hajiko barely talks to me... You’re the only person I could trust...” She said.
[Affection Check: 20. Tsukasa’s Affection Stat: 4. Roll... 5. Final Roll... 20]
“Well... Okay. I’ll help...” Ken said. Just then, a UFO landed outside the Mansion’s gardens.
“Wh-what the heck?” Ken looked outside to see the UFO in pristine condition. “Oh... my... God... There’s aliens! That... I thought that only existed in old folk stories! They might hold the key to helping us defeat the zombies!” Ken ran out of the room. The maid whimpered before following him.
[Scene Cleared, things were out of Ken’s control]
[Scene Roll: 7. Not within Chaos]
Hinako was also readying up her outfit in yet another room. She, unlike Psyga and Ken, was enthused with the prospect of being a maid. She smiled when she finished putting her headdress on.
“I’m sure Psyga will love this!” Hinako said.
“Hurm...” Hinako turned to see a brown-skinned maid with beige eyes, green hair, and vermillion clothing. “And just who the heck are you?” The maid asked Hinako.
“Oh... Well... I’m Hinako. I’m here to assist Dante as a temporary maid.” Hinako said.
“Well... My name is Hajiko... And... Really? Do we really need more extra hands around the house?” The maid asked.
“Well... uh... really... I...” Hinako began to stammer. Hajiko drew in closer to Hinako. Hinako’s legs began to shake.
“My advice? Leave.” Hajiko said as she was practically at Hinako’s face, arms pressed against the wall.
[Athletics (Hajiko... She’s using her strength to intimidate Hinako) vs. Will (Hinako) Roll... 2 = 4 (Hajiko) vs. 3 = 12. Hinako is the winner, with Hajiko taking 8 stress]
Hinako gave her a glare.
“No. I’m not gonna leave Psyga and Ken here, and I’m certainly not gonna go and get myself killed by zombies.” Hinako said.
“... Very well. Guess I’m gonna have to do so by force!” Hajiko said as she pulled her arm back and swung to Hinako. She stopped as soon as she saw a UFO landing in the gardens from her window. “... You’re lucky.” She said, running out of the room. Hinako glared and ran after her.

Meanwhile,
“Alright, let’s get to work on this blue print...” The Doctor said, laying the plans out on the table. However, the duo heard a strange sound.
[Is it a sound that Dante knows?]
[Odds: 50/50. Chaos Factor: 6. Emotional Factor: D4. Roll... 100. 00 triggers a random event]
“What is that I hear?” Dante asked, looking around in quick rapid movements.
[Does the Doctor know it?]
[Odds: Very Likely. Chaos Factor: 6. Emotional Factor: D4. Roll... 68]
“Aliens... Not sure what kind though, but it definitely sounds like aliens.” The Doctor said.

“I recognize it!” Dante said, looking at the card. It was a simple Joker playing card. He then turned it over, seeing written text.
“Not even the army could stand up to this machine... Would you guys be able to trust a machine that is using you people and playing you like puppets? Ask it its true intent.” The message said.
“What is this Joker talking about?” Dante asked. He then handed it over to the Doctor, who read it.
“Machine... Playing like puppets? And who’s Joker?” Doctor asked.
“He is a thief who always tries to steal my riches... But for some reason, he’s deciding to warn me about a machine...” Dante said.
“Hm... Now that I think of it... we have a Machine by the name of MYTHIC... We could ask him about this.” The Doctor said.
“No. You have some bigger problems. The aliens are outside...” MYTHIC said.
“Right, we can worry about the small stuff later. Let’s go.” Dante said, running off. The Doctor sighed and headed off with him.

One way or another, all four pairs got outside of the mansion.
“Can anyone care to tell me what the hell is going on?” Psyga asked.
“Aliens, apparently.” Dante said.
“Aliens? In our zombie flick?” Psyga muttered.
“We don’t know for certain who or what’s in there.” The Doctor said.
“Only one way to find out!” Psyga said as he stormed into the UFO, with his Proton Pack ready.
[Does an ambush come?]
[Odds: 50/50. Chaos Factor: 7. Roll... 63. Because of the change in system, Brownie Points are disabled for Kenny here.]
The UFO opened up as two monsterish bugs
◊ fire at Psyga with their blasters.
[Athletics Check: 2 for Psyga, 2 for the Bugs. Roll... 6 for Psyga, 1 for the Bugs. Final Roll: 12 for Psyga, 2 for the Bugs]
Psyga effortlessly dodged out of the way of the bugs and fired back, blasting the bugs. However, they were unharmed.
“The heck!? How are they alive!?” Psyga asked.
“That thing you use is meant to attack negatively charged things, such as the undead! These things are living creatures!” Ken said.
“WELL SHIT!” Psyga shouted. The bugs then lifted their large clawed hands towards the group before a hand came forth from the ship, stopping the two from attacking. The figure moved out of the shadows of the ship, revealing his build to be similar to the monsters, though he was adorned in green armor.jpg){kind=small}
◊.
“UVA!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?” Psyga asked him.
“Uva? That is a name I am unfamiliar with. You shall call me Bane, as in the Bane of human existence.” Bane said.
“Oh no...” The Doctor muttered before he moved to snatch Psyga’s Proton Pack.
“Wh-What are you doing!?” Psyga asked The Doctor.
“We need to magnetize their weapons! We can’t let them invade us!” The Doctor said as he fired at the guns.
[Athletics Check: 1 for the Doctor, 2 for the Bugs. Roll... 1 for the Doctor, and 5 for the Bugs. Final Roll: 1 for the Doctor, 10 for the Bugs.]
The Doctor failed to shoot the Bugs’ guns, missing them completely, while they were able to fire at The Doctor with point-blank accuracy.
“Gaaaah!” The Doctor screamed.
“Doc!” Psyga said, pulling him to the side.
“Don’t worry about me! I’m fine! It’s the Ghuls you must deal with!” The Doctor said.
“The Ghuls?” Psyga asked.
“An alien race I met sometime down the line... Or perhaps another me had encountered them... They’re cybernetic bug aliens whose goal is to absorb and assimilate all in their path... Don’t let them into this world!” The Doctor said. Bane stepped forward.
“We don’t care for this world. We only care for its creator... We ask for the creator of this world to surrender himself to us!” Bane said.
“M-MYTHIC!? Why do you want MYTHIC!?” Psyga asked.
“Because he used to be one of our finest AI systems until you Earthlings attacked us and stole it. We have been searching for it for a few years, but now we have found it fiddling with itself!” Bane said.
“What!? What’s going on!?” Psyga asked.
“Don’t question them! Fire at their guns! They’re powerless without their technology!” The Doctor said.
“Hand us over the AI, and you’ll be spared.” Bane said.
“Shit... What to do... What to do... What to... Wait a tic... If you’re aliens who invaded this world to get MYTHIC... How in the fuck are you in this simulation? I mean, you could have just unplugged MYTHIC.” Psyga said.
[Do they have a rebuttal for that?]
[Odds: 50/50. Chaos Factor: 7. Roll... 60.]
“We are aware of it being able to run a Matrix. Unplugging him would result in the deaths of anyone trapped inside. We wish to avoid that, and that is why we ask you to hand him over.” Bane said.
“Well, sad truth is that I don’t control MYTHIC. He’s gonna have to free me first.” Psyga said.
“If you don’t control MYTHIC... Then who does?” Bane said.
“That would be me...” Said a familiar voice. The group turned to see Malareth approaching them.
[Does Dante know Malareth?]
[Odds: Unlikely. Chaos Factor: 7. Roll: 26]
[Positively or Negatively?]
[50/50: 5. Positively.]
“Ah! Malareth! So nice to see you!” Dante said to Malareth.
“WHAT THE F- ARE YOU F- DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS!?” Psyga asked.
“Yes. He’s the guy who gave me my house and maids!” Dante said.
“Wh-what?” Psyga asked.
[Do the Ghuls know Malareth?]
[Odds: Very Unlikely. Chaos Factor: 7. Roll... 69]
“Identify yourself!” Bane asked Malareth.
“My name is Malareth, Servant of Orcus, Master of the Undead. I am the controller of this world, and I ask that you leave.” Malareth said.
“Or what?” Bane asked. Malareth smiled and tried to pull out the Skull, only to notice his lack.
“...Fuck.” Malareth said.
“...” The Ghuls point their guns to Malareth.
“Shit... Well, I have one trick up on my sleeve.” Malareth said as he impaled his body with his own hand, ripping out blood to present to the Ghuls. “I cast favour from my own life to allow a Forced Event!”
FORCED EVENT: DROP A BOMB!
“I need no meanings to drop this bomb... You have sent a scout to this area!” Malareth said.
“Really? The ‘someone is a traitor’ trick? Hey, Bane, this guy’s an utter prick that you and I want dead. You take him out and the computer’s yours, provided you take me and my friends out of it. Wanna team up?” Psyga asked.
[Odds: Very Likely. Chaos Factor: 7. Roll... 52]
“Yes, that would be a most preferred option. Prepare yourself, Malareth, for we will annihilate you.” Bane said. He fired his gun at Malareth.
[Athletics Check: 6 for Malareth, 4 for Bane. Roll... 6 for Malareth, 1 for Bane. Result: 36 for Malareth, 4 for Bane.]
Malareth fired a sickly green blast towards Bane, knocking him into the ship. The blast that Bane fired barely scratched Malareth, who had a slight chuckle.
“You caught me at a bad time, Psyga... But I shall devote this time to tell you that Dante’s allegiance lies with me. I took pity upon the humans one time... So I brought one of them from their brink and placed them in a mansion with protective maids to watch over them.” Malareth said.
“Yes... but... You are the one who brought the zombies?” Dante asked.
“Yes... Why do you ask?” Malareth answered.
“Because... If it wasn’t for you... Nobody would be dying from these zombies! You are what I can consider a demon... And I will exterminate you!” Dante said, pulling out two revolvers.
“... Really? You’re gonna try and kill me? What are you going to-” Malareth snarked, but Brenda placed his hand on Dante’s shoulder, giving him a nod, and then proceed to throw knives at him.
[Athletics Check: 6 for Malareth, 5 for Brenda. Roll... 6 and 4 respectively. Final Roll: 36 for Malareth, 16 for Brenda.]
Malareth dodged the knives, but noticed the group was running away into the space ship. A distraction. Well, Malareth was prepared for this. He noticed that Brenda was one of the last people to enter the ship, and so he fired at him. Bullseye. It managed to burn some of Brenda’s clothes. The UFO flew off while Malareth smirked.
“Until we meet again, Psyga.” He said, walking off.

“Well, I know a cure. But you guys need to-” Bane said before Psyga interjected.
“Alright, kick Malareth’s ass. Let’s go!” Psyga said.
“No. I mean there’s bound to be some shrubs on a nearby island that could cure her.” Bane said.
“Wait, the zombies made this a wasteland... How can shrubs survive the apocalypse?” Psyga asked.
“Never underestimate our AI. It can create whatever we desire. There will be an island. We just need to wish for it. On forwards! To the Island!” Bane said as the UFO flew off towards the island.

“Huh... That Island should be showing up now...” Bane muttered.
“Why isn’t it, then?” Psyga asked.
“Because... that would be against the grain of my world.” MYTHIC said. Just then, the UFO shook as alarms blared out.
“The heck is going on!?” Ken asked. That’s when the Doctor opened his eyes and noticed the purple light on the ship’s main AI... MYTHIC. It looked a little... like a familiar blue.
“Get out of the ship...” The Doctor muttered.
“Huh? Why?” Hinako asked.
“GET OUT OF THE SHIP! NOW!” The Doctor screamed as he slammed his hand on the eject button, causing the bottom of the floor to come off. The group flew from the ship as the eye glowed brighter and brighter.
“EX-TER-MIN-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” MYTHIC screamed as the UFO blew up. The group were soon skydiving onto the land.
“What the heck was that?” Psyga asked The Doctor.
“That thing... MYTHIC... It’s a Dalek!” The Doctor said.
“Sorry, what?” Psyga asked.
“More specifically, a computer with a Dalek operating it. You better explain, now!” The Doctor said to Bane.
“Yes. We sort of stuck a Dalek into the AI system. It would advise us on efficient war strategies and mapping out the war area. However, someone stole it from us during a small scale war against Earth. Whatever happened, they reprogrammed him into a story telling robot. It’s not supposed to do that.” Bane said.
“Yes. The Daleks only want to exterminate. Command it to tell a story, and it will sing a song, yes, but only one with everyone dying in the end.” The Doctor said.

“Huh?” Hinako asked. She then looked down and saw the Wyvern.
“Maliss!” Psyga said.
“I thought you guys needed a lift! Where do you guys need to go?” Maliss asked.
“There’s an island. We don’t know where, but we have to go there.” Bane said.

“Yes. I know where one is... But-” Maliss said, but soon, thunder came.
“SHIT!” Psyga said, knowing what this details.
THE EVENT FOCUS IS... DROP A BOMB! THE PERSON WITH THE BOMB BEING DROPPED ON IS...
[PC, Good NPC, or Bad NPC?]
[Roll.... 36. Good NPC]
[NPC Roll: 2. The Ghuls]
THE GHULS! EVENT MEANINGS DECIDED! JUDGE! FAILURE!
Just then, the Ghuls’ buzzed.
“What’s this about?” Bane asked them.
“We have decided... to cast you aside, failures!” One of the Ghuls said as they open the attack. Hajiko transformed into a bug monster and countered the attackers while Maliss began to stagger out of control.
“Maliss? Stay with me buddy!” Psyga told it. He then turned around and fired his Proton Pack at the Ghuls.
[Athletics Check: 2 (boosted to 3 thanks to spending Favor) for Psyga, 1 for the Ghuls. Roll... 6 for Psyga, 5 for the Ghuls. Final Result: 18 for Psyga, 5 for the Ghuls]
[Does it backfire?]
[Odds: 50/50. Chaos Factor: 9. Roll: 93]
Psyga fired the beam at the Ghuls, though the short distance caused a blast that caused Maliss to crash land into a nearby island.

- {Takes off bomb collar}
- Psyga: Now get out before I kick your ass.
- Misato: Fine... Well, it was fun while it lasted.
- Psyga: Well, it wasn’t for me... I’m having a bit of writer’s block for this RPG episode and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to best pull it off. The next one might be awesome, since we’re getting into the meat of the story!
