Disclaimer I do not own Overlord. This is just a story for fun.
Nicholas the wizard used his powers of the wind to float down the Dark Tower. He looked down at the two bodies on the ground one was a comrade the other was an enemy. Both had fallen from the top of the Dark Tower. Nicholas comrade Gallant the knight had grabbed the evil villain the Second Overlord Handric and threw himself and the Overlord from the Dark Tower. Nicholas reached the ground and expected Gallant. To his amazement Gallant was still alive.
"Rest easy now my friend. I will tend to you shortly. I'm just going to make sure the Overlord is dead for good." Said Nicolas.
He walked over to the Overlord. The Overlord was still partially alive. His body was near death. His armor was dented all over and leaking blood. His helmet had come off and his face was a mess of scars and bruise. He was coughing up blood. The Overlord looked up at Nicholas with hate filled eyes.
"It appears your reign of terror has reached it's end. Good has triumphed over evil. Soon the world will not have to worry about the Overlord every again." Said Nicholas.
"It seems that way. I must admit my old enemy you've gather yourself quit a group of heroes. I underestimated you. The way things are now in my current body I will never be able to defeat you and your team of heroes. But if I were to come at the heroes as someone they trusted, I would be able to corrupt and destroy them from the inside." Said the Overlord.
"What are you talking about? You are about to die. The heroes would never trust you, no matter what guise you pull." Said Nicholas.
"Oh my poor dear deluded Nicholas. There is one person the heroes would trust no matter what. You." Said the Overlord.
"What are you somehow going to get rid of me and then disguise yourself as me. I believe there's little chance of that happening seeing as your dying." Said Nicholas.
"No nothing like that. My method is a bit more extreme. I have learned some forbidden dark magic that will allow me to live on." Said the Overlord.
Nicholas raised his staff in a defensive position.
"I'll stop you." Said Nicholas.
"Oh you won't." Said the Overlord. "Darksoluseo!" He shouted.
The Overlord's spirt flew out of his body and into the body of Nicholas. The Overlord's body fell back to the ground lifelessly. Nicholas fell to his knees and let out a scream of pain as he felt the Overlord's spirt enter his body and start to puss his very soul out.
It felt like his very essence was being pushed out of his very pores. He heard the Overlord laughing insanely. He felt all his memories being looked over and invaded by the Overlord. In a matter of moments the spirt of the Overlord took over Nichola's body. The Overload stood up and examined his new body. It was old but it would do for now. He took a breath with his new lungs. It felt good to be alive again.
He turned towards his old body. It was dead and completely useless now. Then his eyes fell on Gallant. The hero who slew him. The hero was still alive. He raised his staff to kill him, but then a evil idea came to mind. He examined Gallant's body. Gallant was young and strong. He would make an excellent vessel for the Overlord's spirt, but first he would use him against the other heroes.
The Overlord smiled wickedly. Then he felt a tiny pain in his body. There was still a tiny bit of Nichola's spirt left inside the body. As much as the Overlord tried he couldn't push it out. Oh well it was no threat to him. The pain only lasted for a moment before it vanished. The Overlord used his powers to seek out the mind of his adviser Gnarl. He found Gnarl hiding in one of the lower chambers. Gnarl was hiding from the heroes.
"Gnarl come to the bottom of the Dark Tower." Said the Overlord.
"Master? Is that you? Why does you voice sound so different?" Asked Gnarl.
"Yes it is me sorta. I've taken over the body of Nicholas the wizard. I need you to do a couple of things for me." Said the Overlord.
"Anything for you master." Said Gnarl.
"Come to the bottom of the Dark Tower you will find two bodies. Bury the dead one and give it a decent grave. As for the other body bring it to the healing chambers and use some of the amnesia potion. When he awakens tell him his the Overlord and he was defeated by the heroes. You and the other Minions will help him defeat the heroes.
When that is done I will come in and take his body for myself." Explained the Overlord.
"Master that is truly the most diabolical plan I've ever herd. Your are truly the supreme master of evil." Said Gnarl.
"Thank you. Now get moving I'll deal with the heroes." He said as he flew up the Dark Tower.
He found the heroes in an argument.
"He could still be alive! I refuses to leave him until I know his condition!" Shouted Oberon.
"No one could survive that fall! Come on let's gather some treasure and leave!" Said Sir William.
The other heroes seemed to be in agreement with Sir William. Then they saw the approaching wizard.
"Nicholas please tell me, is Gallant still alive?" Asked Oberon.
"I'm afraid Gallant breaths no more." Said the wizard.
"You see no one could survive that fall." Said Sir William.
"Shouldn't we retrieve Gallant's body so we can at least give him a decent funeral?" Asked Oberon.
"No let Gallant be. He has earned his rest." Said the wizard.
Oberon bowed his head in defeat. He and the other heroes went to lute the tower. They soon left with a bunch of treasure. The Overlord smiled everything was going according to plan.
To be continued.
