Velsper the Housecat: Welsper The Demon Child

Quotes 

• Kevin from the Other Dimension : The following episode is a barebones work print test of the script for the final episode of Marller Gets a Spinoff Season One. This episode is going to take a lot of work in the photoshop animation process, and I want a record of it's existence on file for emergencies.

  Welsper The Demon Child : That's strange... where do you think we landed this time?

  Mara Marller : That's funny... it looks like Nekomi Tech... but not the one from the anime show. We must have landed in the manga. Look at how dated everyone looks.

  Kevin from the Other Dimension : We see Keiichi and the Goddesses standing on a street corner. They look like the 1990s OVA versions of the characters.

  Mara Marller : I don't believe it. We're not just in the original Oh My Goddess manga... this is the Sayoko Queen of Hearts storyline. My one great manga storyline that never got adapted into the anime shows.

  Welsper The Demon Child : So? My issues never got adapted... what's so special about this issue to you? Don't your schemes to derail the goddesses always fail?

  Mara Marller : That's just it, Welsper. This was the last prominent story in the manga where I had the lead antagonist role all to myself. And it's also the one issue where I actually won, only to be derailed by a minor detail. When I had Belldandy under the control of my spell, I told her to GO HOME... and she did. The problem was she had been living on earth for so long that by that time, HOME, to her, meant Tarhiki Hong Temple.

  Welsper The Demon Child : So that's it? You lost simply because you kept your command too vague?

  Mara Marller : That's not all I lost. Because of that one incident, that one regret... Hild-sama split herself off to supervise all of my future efforts and I basically became her coffee and bagel bitch while she ran the entire show. It's not that I wasn't honored... it just seemed like a Demon with a First Class License, No Restrictions, like myself, should have been able to handle the problem on my own.

  Welsper The Demon Child : So, here we are again, eh? We're just going to sit on the sidelines and watch the tragedy of your life happen all over again from a distance. That must be pretty painful for you.

  Mara Marller : But Welsper... don't you see? This could be the answer to all of our problems. This is my second chance to get things right. If I made the Goddesses Go Home, then none of this shit with Doctor What and the Dragon Eye and the Thirteen Escaped Demons would ever happen.

  Welsper The Demon Child : And in the process, you might accidentally get the manga cancelled earlier than it should have been and kill us all. Is it really worth taking that risk? Marller? Where'd you go? Oh, no... she's really going to do it.

• Kevin from the Other Dimension : Doctor What, Sayoko, Keiichi the Spineless, and Gate arrive just a little too late.

  Doctor What : Welsper... what happened to Marller?

  Welsper The Demon Child : Doctor, I think something catastophically bad is about to happen... Marller just found a way to exploit a time paradox to reset our universe. And if it completely backfires, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

  Sayoko Mishima : Welsper, what kind of time paradox are we talking about here?

  Welsper The Demon Child : IT'S YOU! ALL OF THIS CENTERS AROUND YOU!

  Sayoko Mishima : But I'm right here, I'm not going to do anything.

  Welsper The Demon Child : No, the OTHER you, from the Original Manga. The selfish rich girl that everyone hated.

  Sayoko Mishima : Oh, no... that's right. My alternate universe counterpart and I are at two completely different ends of a character arc spectrum.

  Doctor What : Are you saying YOU'RE the villain in this episode?

  Sayoko Mishima : Don't look at me like that. I was completely different back then. It was another part of me that I want lost and forgotten.

  Doctor What : Yes, I know that feeling all too well. That one person that you run from and can never seem to escape. That past that always catches up to you no matter where you hide.

  Welsper The Demon Child : It's That One Regret. That's so strange. Marller and Sayoko both share a theme of That One Regret in this episode.

  Sayoko Mishima : I don't understand... what would Marller have to be regrettful about? She seems to hate everything that she lays eyes on. She doesn't care about anything or anyone at all... except maybe that Creepy Carmen Sandiego Vampire Killer that just rejected her like she was nothing.

  Doctor What : Sayoko, all life is full of regret. And that's the tragedy of it all. People do regretful things on a daily basis. They hinge on the past when they should always be looking to the future. Or maybe they feel their future is blocked by a metaphorical rope that ties them to the past.

  Welsper The Demon Child : Doctor, if we don't do something to stop her, then OUR one regret is going to be the unmaking of our universe. And that won't be a regret at all because we'll no longer exist.

• Kevin from the Other Dimension : Now imagine that whole Sayoko Queen of Hearts storyline from the Oh My Goddess manga, that I'm clearly just too lazy to photoshop right here and now because it takes too long. Think back to Back to the Future Part 2 where Marty McFly had to jump back into the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance from the first Back to the Future movie, while avoiding bumping into himself and sabotaging the events of the first movie. All of that would be entertaining and all, but I simply don't have time for it right now. Because all that matters right now is the final payoff to our story. When Marller has Belldandy under her spell, and gives the final orders to change her fate... We now flash forward to the ending of That One Regret.

  Mara Marller : Go home to Keiichi Morisato... and never leave his side again... Show him forgiveness when he needs it the most... and no matter how things turn out... don't bail out on him like everyone else. Now for the last time... Go home, Belldandy... Go home.

  Kevin from the Other Dimension : Everyone stands there in shock as Marller walks away and leaves. The spell of the Queen of Hearts wears off.

  Keiichi Morisato : What happened?

  Belldandy : Where am I?

  Urd : I don't believe it. After all that... she had us... and she just gave up... like it meant nothing to her at all...

  Kevin from the Other Dimension : We cut back to Doctor What, Sayoko, and Welsper.

  Doctor What : I don't believe it... her one regret...

  Sayoko Mishima : She could've changed everything and ended it all in a heartbeat... she could've won...

  Doctor What : But that doesn't make sense... she said "That One Regret".

  Welsper The Demon Child : Her One Regret wasn't to win. It was to stop all the fighting that was ruining her life, so she could finally move on.
