Double trouble Muzio

A single bead of sweat ran down Okisato's face as anger and fear mixed within him. "Ja, jeg har lært det godt. Gentag nu de ord, du sagde, efter du myrdede min mor [Yes, I've learnt it well. Now repeat the words you said to me after you murdered my mother]," he glared. 

"Nej, jeg vil ikke prøve at huske, hvad jeg sagde for alle de år siden. For doven til det [Nah, not gonna try and remember what I said all those years ago. Too lazy for that]," Skaberghast shrugged as he pulled out a DESPER. 

Skaberghast was a gifted grandmaster and Desperado Okisato had a long history with, stemming from the fact that he was a colleague of his late mother, Kana. Worse, he was as unpredictable as could be, and highly intelligent to boot. 

"Now lets see... 1, 2, 3, 8, ah, but those two are too much of a pain anyway. Svetlana ain't gonna be back anytime soon, so lets have ourselves a 6v6 team match with no lethal punishment for losers. But if you do lose, you'll have to stay stuck in this spot for 4 hours. Unable to move, talk, stop your bladder n' bowls from leaking. Least you won't starve to death. But for the winning team, direct teleportation to the destination of your choice. For me n' the girls, that'd be Stanford University, and you guys, London, England. But lets try and tack on some minor punishments for individual losses. I lose, no sleep for 24 hours. Yuusuke Shousen loses, hmm..."

Skaberghast thought for a moment before opting to make Yuusuke's punishment wearing diapers and being forced to go to the bathroom in them for an entire week. Yuusuke naturally exploded in anger, but that was what Skaberghast wanted.

"What kind of sick punishment is that!?" Yuusuke fumed.

"An even one. For me, going 24 hours without sleep is hellish. Now moving on to the others. Olga, you lose you go naked."

"Professor, why are you suggesting such a degenerate punishment befall me?" Olga glared.

"Cuz that's what I thought. Not like you haven't been stripped before. Mona serves as the control, so no punishment for her aside from the blanket one." 

"At least there's some decorum," a girl with medium length blue hair, scoffed as Skaberghast continued his spiel.

"But for your opponents, I won't tack on anything extra aside from the blanket losing condition for the team. Now for the others. Abby, you lose you gotta act like a chicken for 24 hours. If Rodeo Gorou loses, he gives you his wallet and any other valuables he's got on him."

Rodeo scowled as Abigail, the girl with long ginger hair smirked.

"Jackie, if you lose, hmm... Your last name's egghead so you get all your hair shaved, waxed, and lasered off. Eyebrows n' eyelashes too. And maybe your head enlarges to give you a "big brain" look. Syouma Numakawa... Same thing, I guess," Skaberghast shrugged as he glanced at Numakawa.

"Hoh? So in a battle of minds the loser is to be humiliated with extreme hair removal. Very well, I shall prove my intellect before you. Though enlargement of the brain as a losing punishment? You tempt me to throw, but I won't to prove my intellect," Numakawa gloated.

"I studied up since that loss at the beach. The nerd queen won't lose a second time," Jackie glared.

"And Maria, you lose, B-A-L-D BALD! No hair, brows, eyelashes, and the full perma-bald experience of shaving cream, wax, depilatory cream, and laser. Oh, and it's irreversible."

The bespectacled girl with the turquoise afro recoiled in disgust at the proposal.

"And Utami Enoki... You lose, you quit chess forever and take up shogi for the rest of your life, naturally just like Maria, the punishment's irreversible."

That threat shook Utami to her core. "H- How is that an even a fair punishment!?"

"Because my hair is my pride and defines my individuality. Being stripped of it and forced to live my rest of my days completely devoid of it is a humiliation and fate worse than death for me. Especially considering our professor's perverted bald fetish," Maria glared as she ran her hands through her curly turquoise afro.

"Hey, bald girls are hot. So no shame if you lose," Skaberghast snickered.

"So he's trying to get rid of Utami. That bastard. He must have realized she has potential and wants to cull it before it becomes an issue for the league," Okisato thought. "Utami-chan, you lose and Madman Důras will make your life hell!" he called out.

Skaberghast began to scowl. "Communicating to teammates results in fouls-"

"We haven't started playing yet, in fact, you still have to set the time control, yes?"

"Well aren't you observant. Normally the time control would be standard, but for this match it will be 15 minutes with no added increments. Now, we may begin."

Everyone got in position with Yuusuke facing off against Skaberghast, Okisato against Olga, Yuzuha against Mona, Rodeo against Abby, and Utami against Maria. That left Daria and Hagemi forced to watch on the sidelines. 

"Bastard chose Yuusuke. If he loses to him, I'll kick his ass," Hagemi thought as she zeroed in on Yuusuke's game. 

Skaberghast had opened the game by moving his pawn to e4 while Yuusuke followed up by moving his pawn to e5. Skaberghast then played the King's Gambit by moving his pawn to f4, which Yuusuke gladly accepted by capturing said pawn with his e-pawn.

"Hook, line, and sinker," Skaberghast thought as he moved his knight to f3.

"Calm down. Okaa drilled the King's Gambit and all the lines into ya. After knight f3, the best move is... G5!" Yuusuke thought as he moved his pawn to g5.

Skaberghast smiled and moved his bishop to c4 as Yuusuke advanced his pawn to g4. "Just what I wanted," he thought as he castled on the king's side.

"Guess you're a rookie. Castlin' ain't always the best move," Yuusuke snarled as he captured the knight at f3 with his g-pawn.

Skaberghast responded by capturing said pawn with his queen while Yuusuke moved his queen to f6.

"Muzio... Yuusuke better not fuck this up considering I drilled this line into him," Hagemi thought as Skaberghast moved his pawn to e5.

While the Muzio Gambit was one of the most insane gambits out there, the true terror of it wasn't the gambit itself but rather what it could evolve into. And said evolution was most certainly something Yuusuke did not know how to counter. 

"You think I can't counter a Muzio? I told ya I know the lines and if my memory's right, this here's called the Sarrat Defense," Yuusuke declared as he captured the pawn at e5 with his queen.

"Then how bout the DOUBLE Muzio Gambit!?" Skaberghast maniacally grinned as he captured the pawn at f7 with his bishop.

The move rattled Yuusuke as his confidence began to waver. "Shit, I don't remember what to do! Best move is probably king captures, but what then!?" he thought as he captured the bishop at f7 with his king.

Skaberghast responded by moving his pawn to d4, which Yuusuke promptly captured with his queen.

"Guess you're in check and your gambit failed," Yuusuke nervously smirked as Skaberghast moved his bishop to e3.

Then, Yuusuke made a massive blunder and captured the pawn at b2 with his queen.

"Oh look, it's check," Skaberghast taunted as he captured the pawn at f4 with his queen.

"Shit! Well, you're gonna lose a rook. Ngh, where do I move? Knight blocking would lose my queen so I gotta move my king. E6 is mate so... E8!" Yuusuke thought as he moved his king to e8.

"Guess you only learned as far as how to defend against the standard Muzio. Well, you are still in diapers after all. Checkmate," Skaberghast sneered as he captured the bishop at f8, winning the game.

Yuusuke went pale with fear as the board before him and Skaberghast vanished.

"Now we just sit and wait until the others are done," Skaberghast snickered as he reclined in his chair.
