Authors Notes: Hey fellow readers, glad you decided to click-wait don't go you know you want to. Anyway this is a crossover between Disgea 2 Cursed Memories and La Pucelle Tactics. In Disgea it takes place four years after the standard normal ending, in Pucelle its about four years give or take(roughly the same) after everything finished. How does Adell do in an diffrent world with no current way to go back? Keep in mind its been a while since I played Pucelle off so forgive me if chararterization isn't completely on target. Also some characters might be slightly diffrent because of time passing, but the things that make them, well them will still be there. Now on witht the fic!

Adell couldn't remember the last time he had been in this bad of shape.

Okay, he could in a way-and there were a lot of instances of him getting his fair share of wounds and scrapes but this was a slightly different form of trouble. It had nothing to do with fighting this time around; that being something he was used to and could deal with. Instead he found both his arms slightly numb with his head having the slight buzz of an hangover.(Adell had never drunk, but he figured feeling like your head was about to be cut in half was pretty close) It also didn't help that he was completely clueless on just where he was exactly, true from the looks of thing he was in a forest but it felt different. The entire atmosphere wasn't the same, hell it didn't even smell or look the same and from what he could see, a lot of trees or plants he hadn't seen before.

This wasn't Veldime, the Gate Keeper had messed up.

Its wasn't Her fault I got here somehow, its not my style to blame my problems on others. The red-headed Martial Artist agreed with this bit of logic, he should have been a lot more clear on just where he wanted to go. However the fact remained that the forest was completely alien to him, but it was best to look around before jumping to conclusions. Maybe he had come into a forest he had never been before? It would make a degree of sense and it was more logical then thinking he had come to another world.

Nothing was going to get settled just sitting their so he adjusted his gloves before slowly walking, noticing for the first time how strangely silent the forest was. He kept his senses alert for any danger deciding not to take any chances, it also helped that his senses were a bit sharper then the average persons-a blessing and a curse depending on the situation.

Crunch.

It wasn't anything out of the ordinary but Adell stopped walking in mid-step, pausing. He had just stepped on a branch which made a bit more noise then what he intended, Adell had learned the finer benefits of stealth especially when he wanted to get somewhere quickly unmolested. Hearing no sounds of any creature or animal he started his walk again though a bit more wary if nothing else. Just because the forest was silent didn't mean their was anything out there. It felt like eyes were burning in the back of his head, watching and waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. IF theire's nothing here, then why does it feel like I'm being hunted?

Perhaps it was his imagination. All those years of fighting demons and monsters back when Zenon was ruling over had made a subconscious paranoia he wasn't aware of until his defeat. After that whole ordeal was over, he had thought he would have stopped fighting but he couldn't he had to at least train. It felt like such a waste just to let his skill and power go down hill and what if there was another threat to his loved ones one day? He made a promise to protect them, and he couldn't do that if he was to weak. He always kept his word and he was going to do everything in his power to make sure he stayed true to it.

Things were interesting back home. For one, his sister Hanako despite being a human being now still wanted to be a Demon Lord still, but in this case since she was a human now maybe a Lord with out the demon title. Adell didn't like the idea of his little sister doing that sort of thing..Etna wasn't that bad, not even the bratty prince of an Over Lord. Sure they "claimed" to be evil but there were far worse, one thing he had learned during his time was it was more of an cultural thing. Most demons were just odd or different, but evil? Taro had surprised him one day when he asked about him being trained. That didn't seem to be in character for his younger brother but he learned it had to due with some girl he wanted to impress he had met; figures.

Mom had went back to her old normal self, which basically was how she was before just she had a conscious and was caring. Dad..We'll he hasn't really changed that much, but that annoying pimple thing(or what ever the hell Adell thought it was) had disappeared and he thankfully was in his "original" body. The rest of the villagers reverted back to their normal selves, but Tink had oddly stayed in his frog form. He specifically remembered his small friend being pummeled by an ex Nekomata-after seeing a peak of her naked body when she transformed back into a human. His other friends he had made were normal pure demons, a few in the beginning his dad had hired the others he had gotten via the Dark Assembly or by helping them. At first he didn't like them all to much but they grew on him and visa versa.

The group was a bit unique, an Healer, a male and female warrior, an Samurai, a female Ninja, an Werecat and a Dragon-who had an oddly off beat sense of humor. After Zenon's defeat, they all went their separate ways. Adell would get the occasional letter every once in a while but other then that he rarely saw them, some weren't even native to Veldime so it was a bit hard. Yukimaru was the same way, but he could visit her a bit more often.

He missed them. They all had become like a small family to him and when they left a small part of him felt incomplete. As for Rozalin..

Things hadn't worked out as he had thought they would. When they kissed Adell was sure he had some sort of feelings for her even before that but things changed when they actually got into a actual relationship. It was both a bit rocky since they were both new to that sort of emotion which hadn't helped anyone. Adell and Rozalin didn't have as much in common and as time passed their feelings just slowly faded back to what they were; more of a brother and sister type of love. Fortunately they were good terms still, he knew that people that were friends first and dated and broke up often drifted apart completely after that.

Its not that bad, that type of things happens all the time. Besides, were both young we have our whole life ahead of us for that sort of thing. But right now, I'm going to work on me for now.

Adell looked up again to his left hearing another loud crunch, now he knew for sure some one was following him. Fine. Let them come. He was tired of being cautious, the coward couldn't just be up front and face him. "Come on out. I know your out their." He called out, hearing no response he continued, then sliding into a fighting stance. "I'm going to give you one chance. 1,2-"

He cut himself off as a small girl probably around four years old came out a bit timidly and shyly. She had blond hair and blue eyes, she also wore a tunic but it was a bit messed up like it had better days. The child made no comment as she watched Adell carefully if not cautiously, any thing hostile from him and it looked like she would bolt.

Ashamed; Adell eased out of his fighting stance. I'm getting out of touch if a little girl gets me thinking someones about to attack me. Shaking the self-pity away he tried to fix a situation he had made. "Hey..Look I'm sorry. I should have been more aware of what I was doing. My name is Adell, you have a name?"

Silence. At least at first, the little girl looked as if she should say anything to the stranger and finally said so softly that even Adell had a hard time hearing it. "My name is Alouette."

He tried to relax her with a small smile, and for the most part it seemed to work. "Cool. Y'know this isn't exactly a place to be playing, forest can be pretty dangerous to. Where are your parents?"

"I don't have parents, they died." She replied quietly. "I just live with my Grand Parents."

Nice one Adell. A sarcastic voice couldn't help voice its unwanted opinion, the same one everyone had when they did something they deemed stupid. "Oh." The young man said almost stupidly not knowing what to say, saying the traditional 'I'm sorry' somehow didn't seem appropriate for what ever reason. "Forget I brought up any bad memories and I'm sorry if I did. So, where's this home of yours? In a village?" If there was a town nearby then it would make things all the better.

Alouettes face slowly lit up and adorable smile formed-at least he corrected himself, again. "We'll its just me and granny and papa. We live in a village but people don't like me that much. They call me names.." Her face fell and she trailed off again.

"What kind of names did they call you?" Adell said, frowning.

"..Demon or witch."

"Huh? How come?"

"Because I have this power."

"It can't be all that bad, but only if you don't want to say, your call." Adell crossed his arms, the twinge of numbness was still their but it was now just a dull throb, the Gate Keeper had messed up on more then one thing it seemed, hence his current state.

The child hesitated, then she held out a small petty hand as it glowed white touching Adell's arm. The numbness slowly retreated, replaced by a feeling of relief, the red-head stretched his arms experimentally.

"That's it?" Adell shook his head. "That's a real nice thing to have Alouette, I don't know why people would get bent out of shape over that sort of thing. If people can't get passed something so trivial so they need to get their head fixed."

"B-but the people hate me they say I'm a monster."

"They're idiots then." He replied bluntly. "Anyone who hates you because you can help someone by healing is an idiot. You don't have to worry about me hating you, I have a friend that can heal. She helped out a lot and was really gentle, so anyone says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about." Adell smiled. "Tell you what, I'll take you back to your village to make sure your safe."

Wary eyes looked at him then said slowly. "Promise?"

"I promise. You have my word." And he meant it to, if there was one thing he didn't like it was lying.

"You best get away from that demon and leave her to us."

Adell turned quickly to see three men, all of them had the scent of something he wasn't completely used to, but all of them had worn out clothes like they had been rugged travelers. They didn't look to friendly and all had some cheap swords at their hips-none of them were going to win any awards for most charming looking either.

"She's not a demon. And even if she was you guys don't have a right to hurt her just based on that." The small girl ran behind Adell who glanced at her before back at the men sliding into his trademark stance. "Its obvious she doesn't want you around. I'm gonna only say this once; leave unless you want to throw down." He read their movements and stance, none of them were really half-decent fighters just bullies that intimidated people for the most part, or brawlers at best.

"Fine with us demon lover." And with that, they attacked. It was sloppy and uncoordinated though as they tried to overwhelm him with just numbers alone. It wouldn't work for a number of reasons, one he fought opponents Many times stronger, and two he fought said opponents in much larger odds, often with some sort of handicap. Adell leaped over them easily as they stumbled over the spot where he used to be, the Martial Artist was a few feet away, arms crossed unimpressed.

"Hey you ladies going to fight or not?"

That did it, so they fool heartedly charged forward again, one had his sword drawn out and tried to impale Adell with it which made Alouette gasp but it only made him smirk. He easily moved his body slightly to the side as the man rushed past, his momentum throwing him off balance he took advantage of this by simply bringing his knee up, knocking the wind out of him and making the sword drop. The other remaining thugs are a bit sluggish(In more ways then one) so they didn't attack right away. For their credit though, they tried to work together with their swords to bring him down, which didn't work. Adell got bored with the fight and easily evaded their clumsy strikes before dropping them each with one simple palm strike when they left themselves open; effectively dropping them from the fight.

Adell went over to his charge, ignoring the pitiful groaning men. "You all right? Sorry you had to see that but sometimes its the only way."

"Your really strong Adell..." Alouette couldn't help but comment with a sense of awe in her words. "I wish I could fight."

The Martial Artist shook his head. "Its nothing. Fighting honestly is stupid, you shouldn't do it just because or it will get you hurt. I do it to protect the people I care about. Besides if train hard one day you can be strong to."

"Really?"

"I know so." He said confidently before his stomach growled, causing the small girl to giggle and Adell to gently rub the back of his head. "Guess I was more hungry then I thought. Can we go to the village now? If its okay with you of course." She didn't respond verbally, but rather she began walking in one direction which he followed. I can kind of feel..this unique presence about the girl. Maybe its nothing. He looked up at the sky after hearing a thunder clap. Great. Rain. Just what we need.

Unnoticed to the two, someone had been watching, studying them. The beings plan was setting into motion, its focus was on the small girl but that annoying human could destroy everything it had worked for. It had to finish its plans before the Higher Ups of the Heavenly Realms learned what happened when someone messed with the "Natural Order" of things as they called it. Yes, it would have to think of something before all the big powers came into play; both of dark and light.

The red-headed who called themselves Adell, would be taken out permanently.
