Sooo, hi there :D I felt like writing a fic about the storyline of Disgaea 2, except centering it around the random characters. This is my first fic so i hope at least someone will enjoy it XD
The story right now takes place just before the events of the main storyline, so before Adell and Rozy~
Prologue 1: Operation Piggy Hunt
Marc was a laid-back and easy-going demon. He very much preferred the quiet life over the hassle of fighting, stealing and murdering all day like so many other demons liked doing.
If he wanted to eat he needed the money though. So he became a mercenary, accepting requests for various rewards. Slowly but surely he became a battle hardened Warrior.
Location:
Veldime: Town fields
Target: Orc squad
"Hmm, there are quite a bunch of them…I really didn't expect these numbers." Marc whispered to himself. "The request was to subdue a small group of orcs terrorizing a neighboring town… Geez, 1000 HL was way too cheap."
Marc lay down on his belly behind a small hill keeping the orcs in sight from a distance. In a way it was pleasant lying in the grass. The weather was great and there was a soft breeze blowing past the town fields. ("If it weren't for the constant snorting of those orcs it would be a great spot for a nap.") Marc thought to himself.
Light footsteps approached from behind and Marc was taken from his thoughts by a soft female voice. "I took a round of the perimeter; there appear to be many more adversaries then we expected there to be." A young woman with long blond hair carrying a staff crouched down beside him. "Yeah, I think there are about 30 of them."
The woman frowned. "Hmm…I suppose treading lightly would be prudent." Marc nodded. "Guerilla tactics would work best here I think, take out a few from a distance, fall back and regroup from another angle."
He turned his head to face the woman. The woman, Celeste, was a Healer who had only joined the mercenary guild a short while ago. This would in fact be her first job.
When she first joined and requested a job all she got was condescending looks and laughter from the other members. And Marc couldn't really blame them; having no former experience in battle nor having any usable skills but healing; it would indeed be a pain for most members to take her along with them. Marc didn't really mind it though; he liked the company. And seeing as how he usually worked alone it was a nice change of pace.
"Celeste, seeing as how this is your first assignment you can just keep to the rear and cover me from there with your brother." Celeste nodded but then proceeded to look around.
"Something wrong?" asked Marc. "Yes…Where did you position Roy? I can't seem to find him." Marc raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean; I thought he was with you." The two stared at each other puzzled when they heard a loud bang, like an explosion.
They searched for the source of the noise and immediately found it. In the middle of the group orcs was a big scorch mark and in the middle of it were three roasted orcs.
The rest of the group was momentarily stunned but soon started going on a rampage searching for the source of the attack.
"Well, so much for the element of surprise." Marc said with a sigh. "They may be low level demons but they're a pain in large numbers and they have a keen sense of smell. The reason we kept so far away was to escape detection."
Celeste gasped. "I see him! He's hiding behind those trees over there!" Celeste pointed to a small forested area a couple hundred meters further.
And sure enough, behind the trees was the figure of a small boy clutching a small staff, a so called Red Skull, a caster of fire magic's. That small boy was Celeste's little brother.
"What should we do? At this rate they're going to find him!" Visibly panicking, Celeste got up and wanted to head towards the frenzied orcs.
Before she could be spotted however, Marc grabbed her arm and tugged her back down.
"What are you doing? I have to save my brother!" She said angrily.
"Calm down. I have a plan." Hearing those words Celeste settled down a bit. "What do you have in mind?" Celeste asked nervously. Marc could tell it took a lot of self-constraint for her not to rush over to her little brother's side.
"Well, I call it a plan but it really is just me distracting the rest of the orcs while you get your little bro away from there, ha-ha." Marc said while smiling. Celeste however could easily tell his smile wasn't sincere.
"That's too reckless! There are too many for you to handle by yourself!"
Marc stood up, wrested his trusted battleaxe from his back and gave her a confident look. "Aren't you underestimating me a bit too much? I've always handled my missions alone, trust me I'll be fine." He said while facing away from Celeste. "Besides, you have someone important to you who needs your help, right? Just make sure you two get away safely."
Mark turned his head to give her a big smile and then dashed full speed towards the angry mob of orcs. Worried but determined Celeste started heading the other way, towards her brother.
Dashing at full speed, Marc held his axe over his head and leapt. "This ought to get your attention! Boomerang Axe!" Marc threw his axe full power at one of the orcs. By the time it noticed the weapon coming it was already too late. Cut clean in half, the orcs lifeless body parts dropped to the ground. The axe spun through the air in an arc, heading straight back to its owner just as the name of the technique suggested. Marc caught it flawlessly on the way back.
("Heh, I'm awesome.") He smugly thought to himself. He didn't have long to gloat however, as the rest of the monsters caught on and raised their clubs violently towards him.
("And in a lot of trouble…") Marc ran away from the monsters while they gave chase.
Meanwhile Celeste was nearing her brother's hiding place, waiting for her chance to slip past the pig-like monsters. After Marc took down the first Orc, the rest became completely focused on him. She took that chance to move from her location, towards her brother.
"Roy! Are you okay?" Startled by the sudden intrusion, the boy called Roy dropped his staff. "Geez sis, you scare- I mean startled me…I wasn't scared." Seeing her little brother all right she let out a sigh of relief and gave him a hug. "Cut it out sis, that's embarrassing." "What on hell were you thinking? Do you know how worried I was?"
The blonde boy shrugged. "I'm fine! I could have taken out many more if that jerk wad hadn't gotten in the way." He gave his sister an annoyed look. "What was taking you guys so long anyway? We could have taken them out and be done with it ages ago."
Celeste gave him a light knuckle on the head. "This is why I didn't want to take you with me in the first place." She let out another sigh and put her hands together as is customary in prayer.
"Please be safe, Marc."
So that was prologue one :D
I kinda started out wanting to write about the three characters Adell's dad first introduces to the player; the male warrior, the healer and the red skull. When I play disgaea, I always end up thinking up backstories for the random characters so this is probably one of those results XD
Well, I'm out. Read, rate, review or whatever and you'll make me a happy prinny doods ;)
