The plot starts with Gertude falling into Fairyland as a ten-year-old. She spends 27 years looking for the key with her insect sidekick Larry, resulting in her becoming a violent psychopath. After terrorizing Fairyland, Queen Cloudia, the ruler of Fairyland sends after many 'villains', such a witch named Horribella. With many failed attempts, Queen Cloudia then decides to kill her personally. She consults the Fairyland Council and they devise a plan to rid of Gertrude. As the Queen cannot directly harm any guests, Cloudia invites another child, Happy, into Fairyland, to make Gertude a citizen of Fairyland. Gertude confronts Happy and shortly tries to kill her, but is easily defeated by Happy. After Gertrude recovers, she visits Queen Cloudia and asks her what is going on. Cloudia tella her she's too late, and admits she helped Happy on her quest to find the key. Sometime after, Happy does find the key. Annoyed by this, Gerturde finds Darketh Deaddeath, who she asks to help her defeat Happy. He agrees to help her, only if she proves herself. She survives his dungeon, and insults him. He then decided to help her. Happy is about to use the key to exit Fairyland, but then Gertrude stops her in her tracks. After a battle, Gertrude defeats Happy and then kills Cloudia. Before she can return home, Larry informs her that killing the Queen makes her the Queen herself, resulting in her unhappily taking the throne.
