Chapter 1
A princess, the search for Zenon and Axel

In this universe there are worlds... worlds of darkness, chaos, and death. These worlds are called Netherworlds... and they are ruled by supreme beings known only as Overlords. One world... the country planet of Veldime is soon to be turned into a lawless and chaotic Netherworld.

Veldime-Holt Village

In the small village of Holt a woman with purple hair and a long tail paced to and fro in front of a giant cauldron buried in the earth. Standing next to the cauldron was a man with hair as red as a tomato wearing a white shirt, a large red tie, black slacks, and had bright blue eyes. He also was wearing a pair of black gloves that shone slightly in the morning sunlight his name was Adell a young brawling Demon Hunter who sought justice in this world devoid of justice. Adell looked at the woman known only as Mom his eyes narrowed in exasperated disbelief.

"Are you really gonna go through with this?" He asked arms folded over his chest. Mom stopped and turned to face him, she stared at him with three blood red eye's with curious innocence. "You don't have to do this you know. I can go and find Zenon myself." He said frowning and shaking a hand.

"Oh yes we do!" the woman said closing her three eye's and smiling rather smugly. "We've already tried searching for him and we haven't even found a clue!" She pointed out she then opened her eyes again smiling smugly, "Besides we have all the ingredients here! A shura sword, clown shoes, fried dragon, fairy oil and a wyrm bone! It's all here!" the demon said. She then turned to the cauldron. "Now we just have to sacrifice a little bit life energy for the summoning... I hope." She said her voice with only the barest trace of uncertainty.

When she said that 3 heads popped out from the cauldron the owners gasping and panting having been stuffed unceremoniously inside the cauldron a man with a horn, grey skin, wearing glasses and a large yellow bump on his chest with eye's and a mouth. A boy with a short crop of gray hair and a pair of horns on his head wearing a blue shirt and apron, and a girl with pink hair and small bat wings on her back.

"Aghh! Ha... ha... Honey! This is going to take more than just a little life energy! We're gonna die!" the man said, known by everyone as Dad.

"Yeah! Why do you have to use our life anyway?" The boy known as Taro said shrilly glaring at his mother. Mom just smiled and held up a hand shaking her head slightly as if what was said was utter nonsense and in a way she was right.

"Yeah, yeah quit complaining you're all demons it's just a year or two off your life you'd probably waste it! It's not like you'd do anything useful with them!" She then looked at them her eye's pleading raising a hand to her forehead and posing dramatically. "What? Don't you want to be human again? Do you want my work of fifteen years to go to waste?" She gave a dramatic gasp as the pink haired girl glared at Mom.

"But me and Tardo were born demons we don't care about being human!" The girl known as Hanako said. It was then that Mom gave a shrill laugh.

"OH HO HO HO HO! Shut up brat! Mommy wants to be human again! So be a good little sacrifice now and get back in!" And with that she walked to each head with a hammer in hand and knocked all three of them back into the cauldron. Adell looked at her appalled by her 'motherly charm' as she turned humming away.

"You call this good mothering?" The crimson haired fist fighter asked somewhat apprehensively to Mom who promptly ignored him, he put his left hand on his hips and held out his right. "If you really need life energy you can use mine you know." he offered Mom turned to him with a scornful glare.

"Don't be absurd you're the only human left in this world everyone else turned into monsters! We can't waste any of your precious life." Mom said. The man just shook his head disapprovingly for two reasons but he would only voice one aloud.

"I don't like this at all! Using sacrifices is just plain wrong." Adell said giving a stomp his fist held outstretched. "Only fair fights are worth fighting! That's just my style!" He said proudly Mom rolled her eyes mockingly and turned away.

"OK, OK! You've voiced your opinion now get ready for the summoning ritual!" She said hurriedly turning to the cauldron and tossing the hammer began to rummage for something in her pocket.

"Did you even hear me!? DEVIL WOMAN!" He shouted dropping his stance but his fists clenching so hard that his knuckles cracked anger blazing in his eyes.

"Oh ho ho ho ho! But I am a devil. Thanks to Zenons curse I have no conscience!" Adell gritted his teeth. About 20 years ago the world had been populated by humans but then Overlord Zenon the Strongest Overlord in existence came and when he did he cursed all the humans turning them into demons and monsters. The only human left was Adell, he watched and even fought as his family turned into monsters attempting to kill him more than once in his time. He wanted nothing more than to fight and kill Zenon to free his family from this damned curse. However there was a secret he guarded from his family for… personal reasons.

He stood back his eyes on Mom he gritted his teeth then he looked away his fists clenched. She sighed and with that she pulled out a flute and began to play a gentle melody. When she finished the cauldron began to pulse with a white light glyphs appearing with the light then vanishing. "By the spirits of Darkness and Light in the name of Adell I hereby summon 'Overlord Zenon' to his side!" She intoned.

Purple flame spewed forth from the cauldron with purple bolts striking the flame thunder clapping. Then a dark gust of wind and energy gathered at the cauldron! An explosion sounded and from the cauldron flow out Dad, Taro and Hanako sending them sprawling on the ground. Smoke issued forth from the cauldron, seconds went by… nothing happened. Mom lowered her flute, frowning her eye's showing her disappointment.

"Oh... what went wrong?" then the cauldron began to shine with a purple light the ground shaking ferociously Adell and Mom stared wide eyed watching. The light grew brighter and brighter till it was blinding then energy began to gather in the sky and when that energy finished gathering a strange symbol appeared. Purple bolts of energy sparked off from the symbol as it pulsed once, twice then exploded revealing a woman, in a large black dress wearing numerous large ribbons of red and gold, floating in the air, and then she slowly but surely floated down to the ground, her eye's closed shut when she landed she opened her eye's to reveal blood red eye's with a white slitted pupil. She turned left then right looking around.

"Hmm? What's going on? Where am I?" She asked.

"It's... A girl!?" Adell said struck dumb.

"Well she sure is cute for an overlord." Mom said, the brawler turned his head to the demonic mother then to the girl utterly in disbelief pointing at her.

"You've gotta be kidding me! She's Overlord Zenon?" The girl turned to him.

"Overlord Zenon? Do you know my Father?" She asked this caught everybody's, particularly our hero's, attention.

"WHAT! Father!? Wait! You! You're Zenon's...!?" He said the woman gave a superior smirk.

"That I am! For I am Rozalin, the one and only daughter of Overlord Zenon!" Adell took a step back.

"Ah! You can't be serious..." Little did Adell know that this was only the beginning of his troubles, the red haired demon hunter stared at the woman who had declared herself as Overlord Zenons daughter.

"Well, Overlord Zenon had a daughter you think we would've heard something like that." Dad said, him and the others having recovered from being blasted out of the cauldron, his pink haired daughter though was smiling her small wings flapping wildly.

"I can't wait to tell Bridget about this!" Hanako declared excitedly and ran off to find the demonic plant being known by all as a Alarune.

"But how do we know she really is Overlords Zenons daughter?" Taro asked. The young fist fighter collected himself at this.

"Hey you've got a point." He admitted rubbing the cow horned demons head, "Hey toots, are you really the Overlords daughter?" Adell asked his hands on his side.

"How dare you address me as 'toots!' Do you no know the proper way to address a princess?" She exclaimed her eye's narrowing slightly, "And to question my lineage even after witnessing my noble visage... you people are truly deprived." She said her voice scathing.

"Yeah, yeah just answer the question." He said utterly unfazed by her tone.

"Very well... my heart is as broad as the night sky. Now behold my undeniable proof." A strange emblem appeared in the shape of a 4 leaf clover. "Surely you must recognize this emblem of the four leaf-clover!" Indeed Adell recognized it and so did Mom and Dad.

"OH! That four-leaf clover is...!" Dad began his glasses losing their fog showing his serious black eyes.

"...The symbol of Overlord Zenon!" Mom finished.

"Indeed you are not as ignorant as your garb and demeanor suggest." Rozalin said her voice somewhat mocking and harsh. "This emblem is proof of my heritage It is the bond between our souls as father and daughter!" She said haughtily.

"The four-leaf clover is the mark Zenon. The three-leaf clover is the mark of Zenon's curse which we all bear. Unlike ours it is said only close to Zenon himself bears the mark of the four-leaf clover." The zombie-like demon said quickly. Then he turned to Adell who was standing next to him his arms across his muscular chest. "It looks like she really is his daugher!" Dad concluded. Mom smiled her eye's creasing upward in joy as a new plan formed in her devious mind.

"See Adell, this is great we can use her as a Hostage Oh, hohohohohoho!" The demon hunter though narrowed his eyes which were screaming his opposition.

"Are you nuts!? This isn't good at all!" He said "We gotta do something about this!" he said tersely.

"Me a hostage don't be absurd! I am simply not hostage material." Rozalin said "Now if you'll excuse me I must be going" the princess huffed.

"Ahahah! But we performed the ritual 'in the name of Adell I summon Zenon to his side' hmm? Those are the terms." Mom said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Until Adell meets Overlord Zenon 'Your Highness' is bound by the ritual to stay by Adell's side. You can't disregard these conditions... can you?" The devil woman said her voice layered with smugness.

'Hmph! Stupid summoning rituals!' Rozalin thought angrily.

[Rozalin] Is bound to Adell via summoning ritual!

"Not even I can disregard the terms of a summoning ritual. No matter, how unpleasant." The red head bristled at this.

"Unpleasant let's get something straight here sister! I don't like this anymore than you do! Actually I like it even less than you!" He snarled jabbing a finger in her direction. Rozalin stared at him at this utterly caught by surprise his clearly hostile attitude. "I don't want to be with the greatest threat to humanity's daughter!" he added in coldly.

"Adell..." Mom said looking at him sadly.

"What? You don't expect me to go looking for Zenon with her do you!?" Adell snapped Mom smirked at this.

"What's the problem? Be a man! You can't give up now! What about all that fair fight nonsense." She said the demon hunter just sighed and rubbed his head.

"You do realize that the whole 'fair fight nonsense' means no hostages right?" but she just waved her hand as if going 'oh who cares?' he just growled, 'This is going to be a problematic day.' he thought miserably. As he turned he saw that she was looking at him intently, then she was looking around curiously as if pretending she hadn't been looking. 'What's her problem?' he wondered darkly.

-A few minutes later-

Adell had met his three new recruits, their names were Gnome, the red skull, Sheik the fighter, and Mabel the priest. Adell looked at them he looked at Dad. "Thanks Dad these guy should be useful." Adell said, Dad just gave a shaky laugh. Adell looked at them again then he turned to Friday. "Well time to go" He said and he walked over to Friday, everybody else following him. Adell noticed that Rozalin followed him at a bit of a distance. He stopped and turned around staring at Rozalin, "What's up?" She just hmphed and turned her head away. Adell shrugged, if she was upset at what he said earlier then he could care less. He hated girls and demons, and she was both why should he care about how she felt.

'What a brute! First addressing me as toots and then to say those things! He will surely regret this!' she thought angrily. Then as she looked around, she thought, 'It sure is bright in the outside world. All these monsters.' She looked at the pig-like orc, the beautiful and flowery alarune, the lithe nekomata, the rotting zombie, the large and powerful wood golem, the mysterious mothman, the strange penguin, and the living puppet. "Hmm, so this is what the outside world is like." Adell who had been talking with the small girl known as Friday caught onto this.

"The outside world? What the hell are you talking about? where are you from?" Adell said now confused.

"My mansion of course, it is located somewhere in the land of Veldime." She said closing her eye's to spare her the discomfort of looking at him.

"What you don't know where it is." He said folding his arms across his chest now skeptical. She opened her eye's giving him an accusatory glare.

"Well that summon of yours is quite jarring, and truth be told I've never been outside my mansion before." This caught everyone's attention, as Mabel turned to Gnome and chatted with him both shaking their heads.

"What!? Are you serious? What kind of life can you live without ever going outside?" Adell asked rather shocked by this news.

"Yeah?" Shiek added with his gruff tones.

"Hmm, I shall grant your request and tell you about the superior life-style of a noble. The standard recital takes 2 days..." She said Adell put his hands on his hips.

"Forget that... Look all I want is for you to cooperate! OK?" Adell said holding out a hand.

"Cooperate? Let me make this perfectly clear I will not abide being taken hostage!"

"Look that's fine I wasn't even going to do that anyway!" Adell said turning away from her, this caught some looks from the party members.

"Then what are you going to do?" She asked stepping closer.

"I'm going to take you back to Zenon, back to your father." Sheik looked at Adell.

"What? Why would you do such a thing? Are we not enemies you and I? Do you expect me to believe you." Adell sighed and turned around to face the princess.

"Look princess, I have only one goal in mind to defeat Overlord Zenon after that I won't need you anymore! But I do need you to guide me there." Adell admitted pointing at her.

"What did you just say? You are going to defeat my father?" She asked, he put his hands on his hips and tilted his head.

"Yeah, why what's wrong with that?" he asked. It was then that she laughed.

"Hah hahahaha! Are you insane? You are but a mere human simpleton who does not know his place! My father has Slaughtered 1000 overlords! He is known as the God of All Overlords! How are you going to defeat him?" She asked.

"Go ahead and laugh but I will be the one to defeat him!" Adell said holding up a fist, his muscles bulging.

"Well you sure are confident... Ah I see you planning to use me as a hostage to threaten my father." Adell lowered his hand.

"Ha! I already told you I'm not gonna take you hostage, especially since you're a girl!" Adell said.

"Then what was the point of summoning me? I have better ways to waste my time!" Rozalin said now annoyed.

"We were trying to summon Zenon but... ah..." Adell began looking slightly nervous then he collected himself. "No there's no excuse for it I apologize for summoning you. I'm sorry."

"..." Rozalin suddenly walked forward till she was mere centimeters away from Adell staring deeply into his dark blue eye's.

"What! Hey, hey! Don't come any closer! I don't really like girls!" Adell said hurriedly. Friday and Mabel who had been staring at Adell looked rather crestfallen.

"To admit one's own mistake. You are truly honest especially for an enemy." She said moving back slightly to give him room, Adell looked relieved to be given the space.

"OK look! I will keep my promise I will return to your father. I pledge my honor on it." Adell said closing his eye's. She eyed him suspiciously.

"I still do not trust you if you truly are honorable why not simply release me?" She said.

"If it was that simple I would've already done so but, breaking the terms of a summon requires the sacrifice of a life... my life!" Adell said, Rozalin took this into consideration. Adell knew though that with his particular… secret he'd lose about 67% of his total life force, however he would need all of it if he was to defeat Zenon. 'Just let her think I can't do it till I beat Zenon then it won't be a problem heck by then she'll have fulfilled her task and I won't even need to cancel the contract.' He reasoned.

"Your life..." She said weighing the impact of the words. "Very well. You do appear truthful, I shall escort you to my father's mansion." She said Adell blinked then he nearly sighed.

'Good... at least I won't have any trouble convincing her to take me there... I've already got enough problems.' he thought. He then turned walking to Friday. She looked at him and blushed.

"H-Hello Adell," He just nodded "U-Um you need to go somewhere?" He nodded, "O-okay where?" she asked he opened his mouth then closed it as he realized he didn't know where to go.

"Hey you!" He said to Rozaline turning to her.

"What is it?" she snapped.

"Where are we going?" He asked, silenced filled the air.

"Uh well…" All eyes were on her, she looked at them all her face turning red. "I-I need to walk to remember!" She suddenly said and she began walking down the path leading outside the village. Adell placed a hand to his head then he looked at Friday.

"Sorry about that maybe next time!" he said, and he went to follow Rozalin, his party members quickly catching up while Friday waved goodbye still blushing, then she swooned and fainted. Bridget the Alarune, and Hanako went up to the portal manager to wake her up.

-Path Crossway-

Adell walked along with his new companions he paused as he saw them three penguin-like creatures walking on pegs, with small demonic wings and a brown pouch tied around their waist. One was flapping his wings so rapidly that he was hovering slightly off the ground "Even this place is getting overrun with monsters!" he groaned. The penguins turned, obviously hearing him, they walked up to him and one of the penguins reached into the pouch to pull out a pair of swords an evil smirk on its beak.

Adell and the other three got into their fighting stance Gnome holding up his staff while hopping from one foot to the other. Mabel held her bow, while a soft wind blew by her clothes and hair ruffling. Shiek held his sword by his side while soft breeze blew his headband making it flap in the wind. The crimson Demon Hunter put one foot forward a clenched fist held forward, the other held back slightly, he swayed slightly his tie swinging with him. He looked at the penguins a mix of pity and hatred in his eyes which flashed red very briefly.

"Is Zenon's curse getting stronger?" he wondered he tightened his stance, ready to attack his enemy at a moment's notice. "I have to hurry! I have to beat Zenon before his curse get's even worse!" he said and his fists tightened, but Rozalin who stood dangerously close to the penguins turned to look at Adell her eyes narrowed with contempt and hatred.

'You fool take you to my father? Did you think I would blindly obey you?' behind her the penguin that had drawn it's sword realized she wasn't looking and putting it's swords away walked toward the vengeful demoness. 'All enemies shall meet with death' It reached into it's pouch and pulled out a large black bomb with a lit fuse, it flapped it's wings hovering up into the air a determined look on it's face. 'These lowly monsters shall feast on you! Then I shall be free of these odious circumstances! Ah ha ha ha ho!'

BOOM!

Rozalin coughed out smoke as the penguin slammed the bomb on her head! It exploded covering her and it in soot she stood there stunned then coughed a small puff of smoke. Adell turned to Rozalin. "Ouch! Critical hit!" he said wincing slightly. Everybody stared at her surprised as she turned to the penguin creatures her face full of rage.

"W-W-What are you doing! You dolts! I am the daughter of Overlord Zenon such a violent act will not be forgiven!" The penguin then spun on it's pegs moving away from her and the other penguins began to spin as well they lined up. Then penguin in the back spun faster and faster till it wound up in front of Adell and the others.

"Like we care dood! Our boss is gonna take out Overlord Zenon, so eat Prinny Bombs dood!" The penguin said it's voice utterly gleeful. Adell blinked surprised then collecting himself he reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a scouter. He held it up to his face. It scanned the penguin creature and Identified as a Prinny and it's level... 1.

"Too easy..." Adell said to himself, it was then he chided himself remembering that one of these strange creatures was in his village. That particular prinny kept to himself and ran whenever the crimson haired fighter drew near, now he knew why.

"What did you say!? Are you confessing to be lackeys of some charlatan plotting to kill my father!?" Rozalin cried utterly stunned that not just one but two people were gunning to kill her father. The prinny up front took a step forward toward Rozalin raising it's fin proudly.

"You got it dood! We're lucky we found you out here dood!" It took a step back to it's companions and the three Prinnies lined up in a horizontal formation by spinning yet again the demon princess took several tentative steps back looking frightened.

"H-Hey what happens now!?" Rozalin asked. Adell stomped his foot and held up his clenched fist.

"Obviously we kick their ass!" Adell pocketed his scouter and got back into his fighting stance Sheik, Mabel, and Gnome leaped next to him raising they're weapons to fight.

"Ah! Yes excellent plan... however there is a slight problem." Rozalin said.

"What kind of problem?" Adell asked looking at her from the corner of his eye.

"I... I do not know how to fight." Adell abandoned his stance to stare at Rozalin.

"You're joking right?" He asked.

"I do not joke with peasants." This comment was met with several face plants and Adell sighing.

"Okay... Now listen and listen good cause I'm only gonna explain this once. He rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a small red gun with various decorations. He walked to the spoiled princess and gave it to her. "Look I've looked at you and I've gotten a good idea and what you can and can't use... You can't use your fists so we'll have to go with distance. This is a gun, it's fairly easy to use and it will allow to hit enemies from a distance." Adell put the gun in one of Rozalin's outstretched hand and grabbed her other and lined her up to a prinny.

He then stood behind her his head close to her pointed ear. "Now all you have to do is put your finger in here." He maneuvered her finger onto the trigger. "And squeeze." He gently pressed her finger on the trigger the recoil jerking her arm up slightly as the gun fired however with Adell holding her arm the recoil wasn't as bad as it could've been. The prinny stood stock still as the bullet hit squarely in the beak shattering it. It fell to the ground purple blood oozing from it's wounded beak.

"You get it?" Rozalin who was blushing slightly nodded and gripping the gun with both hands she aimed at another Prinny and fired. Now holding the gun with both arms the recoil was less than the first time. She smiled as the Prinny spun as it's bag was pierced then it exploded. The blackened form of the Prinny fell to the ground. "All right! Now let's get this fight started." Adell cried and he charged forward Gnome muttered something and a small vortex of fire engulfed the las prinny however Adell dived into the vortex and punched it in the large white belly.

Then Sheik landed in front the prinny then he raised his sword and dashed through the Prinny swinging his sword as he did. Then he leaped over the Prinny then Mabel spun round bow in hand and fired a barrage of glowing arrows it pierced the Prinny right in the head it fell to the ground and then all three Prinnies vanished into white light. Adell grinned as he stood posing dramatically one hand outstretched with a thumbs up as he gained hl from the recent battle. He then stopped his pose and turned to Rozalin and folded his arms over his chest whilst Shiek and the others stood behind him. The warrior had his sword in the ground and was leaning against it slightly, while Mabel's bow vanished into light, Gnome kept his staff shouldered.

"Oook... So why are you so weak?" Adell asked her. She looked nervous as everybody stared at her waiting for her answer. Nobel or not, demon's were fighters, well most of them were anyways and to couple that with the fact she was the daughter of THE Overlord Zenon it was surprising her combat experience would be… utterly absent. She turned folding her arms over her chest and raising her chin high.

"S-Silence! I am the daughter of Overlord Zenon but I've never had to fight before ever! I lived in a beautiful mansion what ever would I need to learn how to fight? That's for the lower classes!" Adell stared at her whilst Shiek bristled.

"Hey! You stu-!" He began but stopped when Adell raised a hand.

"So you're the Overlords precious spoiled daughter! How cliché... but you must be very important to him." She turned back to Adell her hands on her hips a proud smirk on her lips. He had his hands on his hips an eyebrow raised in exasperation.

"That's right I am! My father cherishes me." She then looked at Adell, "Isn't it the same thing with humans? I've read so in my textbooks parental love, family love." She said. Adell's face suddenly softened as he stared at her silent for a few seconds. "Were my text books wrong?" Adell turned his back on her his face low hiding the expression of his face in darkness.

"No, they got it right I'm fighting for my family too." Adell said then he walked on leaving the other's looked at him then each other. Rozalin didn't know why but there was something… odd about what he said before leaving she just gave a humph and followed him.

-Path with the Reflecting pool-

Adell walked forward to the small pool that showed a perfect view of the sky. Behind him came Rozalin, Sheik, Gnome and Mabel. He stopped though when he saw more of the Prinnies. They were standing in front of one prinny, most likely the leader of this small troop, it reachedreached into it's pouch and pulled out a strange demonic skull. The other prinnies reached into their pouches and pulled out 1, 2, 3, skulls. The last one, quite idiotically pulled out a bomb and the others face planted onto the floor. Adell watched this stupid show with a twitchy eye then he turned to Rozalin. "Hey... Are you really trying to lead me to Zenon's mansion?" He asked suspicion in his voice. She turned her back on him her arms folded her head held arrogantly high.

"Of course. The path to an Overlord is laden with suitable trials to overcome. It is a tradition, if you do not face trials you will not fully appreciate your goals." She said haughtily. Adell felt his anger rise as he heard an explosion in the direction of the Prinnies however he didn't even bother to glance at them. He folded his arms across his chest.

"Look I'm not doing this for the satisfaction... I just want to fight the Overlord." Adell said. She turned to him her eye's narrowed.

"Bumpkin! Do you not appreciate beauty? Every course to an Overlord begins with the beautiful art of leveling up!" Adell turned from her and turned to the prinnies. Already Shiek and the others were readying their weapons.

"Oh please! You do not even know how to fight am I supposed believe that you know all this random trivial knowledge?" he growled. She raised a hand a proud smile on her face.

"Of course! How can a noble better justify squandering time than with the pursuit of knowledge?" Adell walked to the Prinnies then he turned back to her briefly scowling.

"Ah! And being a demon and all you must have a lot of time to squander." He jabbed he turned back to the Prinnies who were slightly scorched but ready to fight knives in their fins. He jumped at them, punching one in the beak and kicking another's peg legs. An arrow soared above Adell's head and buried itself in an attacking Prinnies fin as it tried to blindside him. Sheik then came down from above swinging his sword in a downward slash at the disabled Prinny a torrent of blood spilled out from the Prinny's front as it fell back dead. Then two small firey vortexes appeared sending the remaining Prinnies into a fiery end. Adell gave thumbs up. "Good job everybody let's keep moving."

-Meanwhile in Overlord Zenon's castle-

In the castle of Overlord Zenon, said Overlord lounged in a high back chair with demonic horns on the top, he took the form of a large man with blond hair and a blond mustache, wearing a large black cloak with a bone like fringe on the shoulders, and wearing a large dark tie with the symbol of the four-leaf clover on his tie. When suddenly a hooded and masked figure in blue appeared, then the figure spoke, in a deep masculine voice. "Overlord Zenon, my master, I have just received urgent news from the princess' mansion..." Zenon opened his eye's which glowed red with power. "The princess has disappeared and it has happen in front of many servants..." Zenon sat up his eye's glowing even brighter.

"What...? Is this true?" Zenon asked his voice commanding, booming, another figured appeared same as the first however instead of blue this one was a light pink.

"It appears someone has summoned her... someone with decent summoning skills." The other said in a light, feminine voice.

"But who? How did they find out about the princess...?" Zenon said sitting forward his hand on his chin looking thoughtful.

"We do not know yet... but it obviously someone who opposes you..." The masked woman said, Zenon sat there rubbing his chin then he stood up and he thrusted his hand forward his fingers splayed.

"Find the princess immediately... you must not allow the outside world to contaminate her!" Zenon ordered.

"Yes sir, we will be sure to keep the princess a secret from anyone else." The masked woman said.

"What shall you have us do about the guards in the mansion?" The masked man asked.

"Wipe them out... all of them." Zenon commanded.

"As you wish my master..." The man said and with that the two disappeared.

Adell stood over the small quivering orc, then he lifted one leg back and swung it forward sending the orc flying into a tree where impacted then fell then vanished. Adell looked at Mabel who was healing an injured Shiek whilst Gnome turned his gaze to the skies. Adell leaped up the wall then leaped down once twice and landed he went to Mabel. "How is he?" He asked the fallen angel, Mabel smiled lightly.

"He'll be fine..." she said, softly "My skills are enough for now," Adell nodded and turned to walk when a familiar voice spoke.

"Listen you!" Adell turned to see Rozalin walking up to him. He frowned at her; lately she had been fighting less and less even though Adell had taught her how to fight. "Why do you wish to do something as stupid and reckless as fighting my father? Do you actually believe you actually believe you, a mere human, stand a chance against my father?" Adell felt his rage rise up again as he took two slow steps toward Rozalin. He stared at her his eye's locking with her's then he spoke.

"Zenon's curse turned every human into a monster. He turned our beautiful home into some twisted Netherworld. When people turn into monsters they start to lose their memories and conscience eventually becoming real monsters. I grew up watching as my family slowly turned into monsters." He turned his gaze to the floor his hands clenched his fists shaking erratically. "Can you even image how painful! If my family becomes something truly monstrous..." His fists shook and he stared up at her. "I won't let that happen! I can't let that happen!" He then punched one fist into his open hand. "I will defeat Zenon! I'll do whatever it takes to protect my family!" Rozalin sneered at this.

"You may talk all you want but do you honestly believe that? You won't even take hostages remember?" Adell stared at her then he held up his fist.

"But there's no doubt I'll defeat!" Rozalin put a hand to her forehead.

"Yes, yes you declared that many times... but where does your confidence come from? Tell me!" Rozalin demanded lowering her hand.

"Look at me! I'm the only one in Veldime who hasn't turned into a monster! I still have all my memories and morals! I'm the only one who hasn't been turned into monster that has to mean something!" Adell said. Rozalin narrowed her eye's.

"Aaaaand?" She asked.

"That's it!" Adell said lowering his fist. Everybody's eye's, save Adells, widened in horror and disbelief.

"'That's it!' You're faith in defeating Zenon is solely based on that!" Rozalin asked. Adell folded his arms over his chest.

"Why? Is there a problem with that?" He asked, Rozalin took several steps back staring at him.

"It is more than just a problem... Are you so stupid you do not see it!" Rozalin shouted. "Do you not have a better reason such as being from a herioc lineage? Or being level 100,000,000? Normal people have, you know, real reasons to fight." She said.

"I don't care! Not having a good reason to fight is an excuse for people not to fight!" Sheik gave a yell at this.

"I suppose you're right but..." she began but was quickly cut off.

"What's important is to never give up, to have an indomitable will! Even if your legs are broken and your arms fall off you have to fight to the end! That's just my style!" Adell said. Rozalins eye's narrowed again.

"A speech on willpower in this day and age? I did not know there were still people who believed in such silly notions! Perhaps it was your thick skull that prevented my father's curse from affecting you!" She said "To be summoned by such an… odd and foolish peasant I must be cursed with the uttermost worst luck!" she spat she narrowed her eyes. 'This human is a complete fool... such a cretin must not disturb my father! I shall have to kill him myself... be prepared' she thought her hand reached down for the gun he had given her then released it, 'I cannot kill him myself he's proven too strong for me… so I'll have to find someone else to do it' she reasoned.

Adell though turned away slightly ashamed of his semi-lie. He didn't like liars, but at the same time he didn't outright lie. After all his particular truth was what allowed him to fight even though he clenched his heart in self-hatred for what he really was… it would have to wait though first came saving his family he walked away for the sake of walking. His companions quickly followed him.

-A Clearing-

A man with spiked blond hair, wearing a white cape coat, purple rocker pants, and white shoes stepped forward on a grassy hill. "We've ventured out to the frontiers of Veldime in search of a vicious hero who was spotted in the area!" The man said with a hoarse, yet energetic voice. Then he spun on the spot his hand raised dramatically. "Wait! What's this!? I can't believe it!" He turned to the right and suddenly did a side flip. He posed dramatically, "Look out! It's an invisible laser!" He then did another side flip back to his original position posing once again. "Hiyaaaa! Did you see that?" Then there was a loud click.

"CU~T!" The man winced then turned to where the voice had originated from. Standing there was a Zombie holding a camera a short fat man wearing a red jacket, blue pants, and black glasses, a male warrior, and a female warrior. The fat man ran to the man with blond hair. "Axel Darling..." He took a deep rasping breath. "How many times do we have to go over this! This for the traveling channel! We don't need action scenes for this show! So stop making up traps and enemies!" he hollered. Axel raised a hand a smirk on his face.

"But I'm the host!" Axel said simply the fat man took a few steps closer and he gave a slightly dark chuckle making the eccentrically dressed demon to shudder.

"Axel, Axel, Axel... No one expects anything from you anymore! There was a time when you were lighting up the stage as the Dark Hero... but that time is long gone!" The fat man said his tone utterly matter of factly. As this discussion took place Adell and the others appeared. The Demon Hunter stared up at the pair confused; the other's stopped just behind him and looked up as well; none of them had never seen the group before.

"Huh... Who are they?" Adell asked no-one in particular Rozalin saw them and noting the white man's ears. A spark of deviousness crossed her face.

"That is him! That blond man over there is my father, Overlord Zenon." Rozalin said raising her head and gesturing to him with exaggerated importance. Adell turned to her surprise on his face.

"W-What! Really?" The flaming red head looked again at the blond man. "But... he looks so young can that guy really be your father?" He asked skeptical, Rozallin felt a bead of sweat fall from her cheek. However she put her hands on her hips a proud look on her face.

"Ah ha! Are you filled with terror now that he stands before you?" Adell turned to her now angry.

"N-No that's not it at all! But I can't just attack him from behind, I'll fight him head on!" he said his fist held out this raised a small silence as his soldiers looked at him both proud and embarrassed by his.

"Can you defeat him that way? He is known as the God of All Overlords" Rozalin said. Sheik who was standing behind Rozalin gave a nod.

"I won't lose! I have to save my family!" Adell said punching a fist into his open hand.

'This human... his family must be important to him. But if they are so important to him, he should stop fighting lost causes that will only get him killed! Nothing ever comes from dying... what a fool.' Rozalin thought then she turned a sad look crossing her eye's. 'Fighting is so sad.' It was then that Axel noticed the group below him.

"Hey Director look, fans!" He said to the fat man. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pen and a notepad and walked forward smiling he held out the note pad and pen. "Well hello there!" he said Adell turned to Axel angry.

"I don't want your stupid autograph! I want your life!" Adell roared holding up a fist. Axel blinked then turned to the director then back to Adell.

"Waaaaaaait! Am I on Screw'd?" Axel said however the Director had no time to answer as Adell had leaped up performing a powerful kick at Axel. Axel flipped backward with ease, "Hey what are you doing?" He cried. Adell however was too focused and furious to talk reasonably.

"Overlord Zenon you die today!" Axel was genuinely confused however he let that aside as he dodged the furious barrage of fists and feet his body swaying from side to side.

"Director get out of here!" Axel shouted as he finally grabbed both of Adell's fists and pushed the crimson warrior back. Adell's muscles bulged as he stared into Axel's coal black eye's the two struggling to overpower the other. Sheik then appeared from above sword held high ready to swing down he gave a loud battle cry but was tackled by the warrior on Axel's side. The two warriors rolled on the ground and sprung up feet from each other. The warrior on Axel's side pulled a handle from his pocket and with a quick flick a blade appeared. Sheik raised an eyebrow.

"I hope you can fight well..." Sheik said. The other warrior smirked.

"The feeling is mutual!" The warrior said and the two sprang at each other swinging their weapons with wild ferocity the loud clanging resounded off the forest. Up on the hill Adell had swung his knee up between him and Axel breaking the power struggle. The former Dark Hero staggered back then he flexed his fingers cracking them then he breathed deep and stood up straight one hand on hip the wind blowing his cloak. He held up a hand, and gestured toward Adell.

"Come on then!" Adell responded by giving a powerful stomp then dashing forward and began a rapid series of powerful punches. Axel dodged the punches though he didn't attack back until one wild swings caused him to duck the Dark Hero he countered first with a sweep and then a punch in the stomach slamming the crimson brawler into the ground! Adell coughed as air was forced out his lungs. He rolled away from the demon and came up on one knee breathing hard as he laid a hand on his stomach.

Axel smirked and leaned forward. "You've got a lot of guts challenging me... I'm probably am too strong for you but hey at least you put up a fight now it's time to end this!" Axel raised a hand and mystic symbols appeared in the air then his guitar appeared. Spiked and with a unique purple and white coloring he strummed it once letting off a high note. He then jumped high in the air the guitar spinning wildly electricity crackling then he came down with a 'Crang!' purple electricity flying in four directions, one of them straight for Adell.

His body burned and his blood boiled slightly as the electricity ran through his body. He was thrown back smoke rising from his body his eye's whited out. He hit the ground hard and slid to a halt just before the edge of the hill. Axel smirked then he turned to where the two warriors were fighting. Both were panting however Sheik had the upper hand due to Mabel healing him. The other warrior was panting blood dripping off of wounds on his body. They raised their blades again and Shiek struck a powerful upward slice followed by a swing the flat of the blade smacking the warrior down. He panted looking at the fallen warrior then he placed his sword point first and panted resting slightly.

The healer was standing behind Gnome who was preparing a spell to finish off the warrior when a spear suddenly flew down feet from him. Gnome took several steps back and Axel turned to see the female warrior running forward and jumping into the air. She landed in front of Gnome and punched him hard in the gut causing him to keel over clutching his stomach then he fell to the ground. Meanwhile Rozalin watched the whole thing with a haughty glare. She turned, and began to walk away.

'Serves them right.' she thought and she began to walk away when she found a blade being held up to her throat. She stopped and turned a cool eye to see a powerful arm held out, guessing it to be Sheik standing behind her the blade held reverse so his back was to her.

"Where do you think you're going?" Sheik asked in his gruff voice, his eye's on Gnome and Mabel who were now fighting the female warrior.

"Why should you care? Barbarian, it's my duty as a noble to-" However she stopped as Sheik had spun round and grasped her by the throat he lifted her easily as she gagged and gasped beating his arm weakly.

"Personally I could care less what you noble's fucking do! But you are not gonna walk out of this battle! Are you not Overlord Zenon's daughter!? Then prove that you have some worth by fighting! You running off whilst your comrades die! You are nothing more than the daughter of a coward!" Sheik roared as she grasped his hand and tried to pull it off but failed horribly as his grip tightened and he pulled her close so that his eyes glared into hers with utter hatred and contempt.

"So what's it gonna be 'princess'? You gonna stand and fight like a true overlords daughter? Or you gonna run like the daughter of a coward?" Sheik breathed his face inches from her own. Her eye's rolled up slightly and he released she fell gasping and coughing. Sheik turned and ran toward the female fighter his sword held up a battle cry echoing in the air. Rozalin lay there for a while breathing gently then she pushed herself up to her feet, stood up straight and pulled out her gun.

"I am not a coward!" She spat out angrily, and she ran forward her gun held up. She raised her hand and fired a single shot at the 'Overlord Zenon' but she missed the bullet flying just in front of his face.

"Whoa!" Axel slid back and turned to see Rozalin with her gun. "Tch, you!" He turned to the female warrior who was currently trying to stab Mabel with her spear but the healer was nimbly avoiding and even blocking with her bow. The female fighter turned to him, "Take care of this one!" he pointed at extravagantly dressed demoness. The green haired woman smirked and jumped up high and came down on Rozalin spear held down. Axel turned to grab Sheiks blade as brown haired warrior tried to slash him. He grunted as he tried to push it down on his opponent only for the former Dark Hero to push the blade to the side and punch Sheik's face making him stagger back. The demon hero continued into a combo of blows.

'This is not good we have to retreat… must revive master Adell.' And she looked up and saw him on the edge of the hill. She moved quickly speeding toward him a spear flew at her and she jerked her head to the side the blade scraping her cheek and she raised her bow, drew and fired an arrow at another female warrior hitting the head and the woman fell dead. She ran over the body and was at Adell's side. She grabbed him and drew him to the tree she sat him up and shook him slightly. "Master Adell wake up!" She said, she then saw his injuries and raised her hand green light forming on her hand and she began to heal him.

Adell, in his unconsciousness, had strange and tortured dreams. His family was advancing on him evil in their movement and in their intent. He turned to run but stopped as a monstrous and evil looking Hanako and Taro appeared and advanced on him. Mouth's open to reveal rows of shark-like teeth giggling and laughing manically. He looked around, no matter where he did though there was no exit they swarmed and grabbed his limbs their mouths opening to eat him!

"No... No... NO!" And with that Adell awoke from his unconsciousness. He looked around to see he was lying at a tree, in front of him was Mabel. Who was sitting next to him her hands glowed but it stopped when he looked at her "Mabel? What's?" However Mabel put a finger to his lips.

"Hush you're badly hurt from that attack." Mabel said she then swept the air with her hands and held them toward Adell a green light flowed outward form her hands and flew into Adell. Adell inhaled deeply then exhaled, his body suddenly felt lighter almost as if a weight was lifted. He stood up and looked down at Mabel.

"Thanks... I never realized that I was carrying so much on me..." Adell said. Mabel nodded then she turned her head to 'Overlord Zenon'

"He's strong but not as strong as I would've thought… regardless my lord we must retreat we cannot beat him like this." Adell lowered his head his eye's hidden in darkness.

"I can't do that…" there was a loud crack, Mabel looked at him and saw a rather sinister aura emanate from him and felt the waves of energy emitting from his body. She knew this energy it was demonic energy!

"Sir are you all right!?" she asked worry in her tone but Adell raised his head and she saw blood red eye's staring at the demon who was now fighting with Sheik. She opened and closed her mouth wordlessly utterly speechless. "Sir why-?" She began but he held up a hand which the outlines of claws could be seen on the tips of his fingers.

"Not now Mabel... I'll explain another time but not right now! Now I gotta free my family from their curse!" Adell said, he stood and then he ran forward, he zoomed forward with far more speed than before skidding forward and then throwing a powerful right hand punch. The blonde saw the blow and dodge but a left hook slammed into his gut and then a powerful spinning elbow hitting 'Overlord Zenon' in the face.

Axel staggered, his vision blurred, 'what the hell!? How did he get this strong so suddenly!?' then a punch hit him in the face sending him flying. He bounced once and then hit a tree hard his body jarred his consciousness blackened and he fell gasping.

"Whoa! Nice hit Boss!" Sheik said as 'Overlord Zenon' fell to the ground twitching it was then that the loud bangs of gunshots was heard. Adell and Sheik turned to see Rozalin standing in front of Gnome firing rapidly at the female warrior.

"Damn you hold still!" Rozalin snarled as she shot at the warrior. The warrior just smirked as she leaped back and forth dodging the bullets with ease. Rozalin was growing frustrated with every miss, everybody could see that. Sheik was about to jump in to help when Adell held up a hand. Sheik turned to look at him. Adell turned to him blue eye's gazing into his own black ones.

"Let her fight this fight on her own." Adell said, Sheik stared at him then shrugged and shouldered his sword and crouched down watching the fight. Rozalin continued to shoot but the woman stamina was impressive as she jumped from side to side. Rozalin was now becoming frustrated, if only she had some techniques like Sheik's Blade Rush or Adell's Triple strike but she had no techniques none due to her not fighting...

'If you don't have any techniques think of a new one!' Her brain said but what technique could she think of the only technique she knew was summoning... then it came to her. She threw her gun into the air and spoke a word. A pink hole appeared in the ground in front of her and her gun fell in the hole. 'Focus on what you need!' She thought and she reached down. 'Focus!' She thought and she grabbed something the warrior was watching amazed then she shook her head and ran forward spear held up.

"Watch out!" Gnome cried and he jumped forward arms held up to protect the princess however Rozalin smirked an evil smirk.

"Move!" She said, she knocked him to the side and reached into the hole, she pulled a large Gatling gun. She held it up, pushed Gnome to the side then pulled the trigger. The female warrior's eye's widened in horror as she was barraged by a hail of bullets the bullets ripping her limb from limb as she fell back a bloody mess. Rozalin stood there her finger still on the trigger. The Gatling gun whined to a stop it's large barrel smoking.

She then said the word from before and the hole appeared she dropped the gatling gun into the hole and her gun appeared floating in the air she grabbed it and looked up. She saw Adell standing there grinning. "Good job." She felt herself smile slightly then the smile faded as she realized just who exactly she was smiling at. She turned and hmphed. Then they heard a, 'Guh! why me!' and they turned to see 'Overlord Zenon' get dragged away. Adell who was frowning smiled then he jumped into the air.

"I-I-I-I did it! Ohhhhh yeahhhhhh! The mighty Zenon goeeeees doooooown!" He said striking a pose! Rozalin looked at Adell.

'Looks like that poor sod wasn't a strong enough substitute for my father... but Adell is a lot stronger than he appears. He's a human but he has the strength to fight demons.' she thought then she smiled darkly and put her hands on her hips. 'Hm hm hm, killing him will be so much more satisfying.' It was then she looked at Adell and then turned to where 'Overlord Zenon' had disappeared. "Oh no! It appears I did not look closely enough that is not my father it just some idiot!" She proclaimed Adell who had been dancing stopped and turned to Rozalin.

"YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING!?" He shouted, Rozalin looked at them all, Adell was livid at the news that had just been presented to him and his comrades. Sheik was furious as well, Gnome was surprised and Mabel was shocked. Rozalin looked at them slightly nervously she raised her hands placating, "Now, now even princess' make mistakes. Let's go!" Adell stared at her silent, Sheik gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, Gnome was looking nervously left and right and Mabel was mumbling some healing incantations as she went from one to the other. "What? Do you believe that I purposely confused myself?" She looked aghast "But, I am bound by your summons!" the young martial artists stared at her silently then he sighed.

"Fine! For a moment I thought I won! But it's just been a big waste of time!" Adell said disappointed. Rozalin turned to the other's who were still glaring daggers at her, she then gave a yawn.

"Where is it that I may retire for the night?" She the crimson haired warrior glared at her.

"Everything is you, you, you, you! Fine let's go back to town! I'm getting hungry..." he said Rozalin gazed haughtily at him.

"I hope you have something to my liking with your slop... I have very picky tastes when comes to food." He looked at her folding his arms over his chest.

"I don't know what you like but Hanako's cooking is waaaaaay better than most chefs."

"Then I shall look forward to that I am ready to feast now!" Rozalin said and she turned and left. The others looked at Adell who nodded and said.

"Go on I'll catch up!" Adell said the others nodded and began to walk away however Mabel stayed. He glanced at her then he turned his back on her. "What is it? Do you want to know what it is that happened today?" the red head asked. Mabel gave a nod and folded her arms across her chest.

"I think I have a right to know." Adell said nothing then he turned his head and stared at her.

"Honestly... I'd rather not tell now but I swear to you that I will tell you and the others another day just not now..." Adell said. The fallen angel stared at him then she nodded and turned and left. Ashamed of his promise he casted his gaze to the ground, "I need to find Zenon's curse before it gets worse..." He looked up to the sky. "I don't like asking that girl for help but I have to trust her...for now." Adell said and with that he turned and left.

-Later that Evening-

Adell watched as Sheik pitched up three tents, Mabel stirred a pot full of stew and Gnome, using magic, lit a fire and controlled it. "Are you sure you don't want to come inside and eat?" Sheik, who had just finished pitching up the last tent smiled and leaned against the tent slightly.

"It's all right thought we do appreciate the offer we prefer to keep to ourselves, besides I prefer Mabels cooking over anybody else's." Sheik said. The crimson haired brawler smiled, then he rubbed the back of his head.

"Are you sure you don't want to try even a little bit? I'm telling you, you won't regret it!" Adell said holding up a finger. Sheik looked at Mabel, who looked at him then shrugged.

"All right boss just a sample." Sheik said. Their leader smiled, turned and opened the door walking in he walked to Hanako, who was standing on a wooden stool cooking a large and bloody steak.

"Hey Hanako think you can make three small samples for the guys outside."

"Sure thing Adell!" Hanako said and she pulled out another frying pan and jumping down from the stool she ran to the refrigerator and looking through then pulling out a significantly smaller steak and set on the frying pan turning on the stove and within minutes was flipping and turning the small steak along with the other one.

-15 minutes later-

Adell was walking out three plates in hand of steak slices covered in a brown sauce. "Here you go!" he said, as he gave a plate to each of them. Sheik raised an eyebrow.

"Wow! This looks good!" he said aloud the other two nodded in approval. They grabbed a fork and speared a steak bit and ate. They all froze, Adell who was used to this reaction counted down.

"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0!" Sheik's jaw dropped, Mabel opened her eye's, and Gnome lit up in flames!

"I-I-I-I-I-Incredible!" The warrior roared.

"Delectable!" the healer cried.

"Scrumptious!" The skull shouted, while their brawling leader grinned.

"See what did I tell you?" Adell said shaking his head slightly. Sheik sat there then he gulped down the rest of the food. Mabel ate the rest of her food with deliberate slowness savoring each bite; Gnome ate a slightly frenzied rate. When they finally finished eating they handed Adell their plates.

"That was the best food I've eaten in my entire life!" the sword wielder said, his boss smiled.

"Glad you liked it." He said and with that he went inside the house. Mabel watched Adell leave then she thought back to what she had seen before. That aura definitively was not the aura of a human, it was that of a demon. As she wondered about this a slight burning smell came to her nose and she saw the stew bubbling black marks appearing on the sides.

"Oh no!" She cried and she hurriedly put out the flame and rushed to her pack to grab 3 bowls for the stew. To put it in simple terms this was definetly not Mabel's best cooking.

-Inside Adell's home-

Rozalin had just lowered her fork and picking up a napkin dabbed at her face to remove any blemishes, her eye's closed. Unawares to her the whole of Adell's family, save for the red head himself, were watching her with baited breaths. She opened her eye's and saw the hopeful and fearful looks cast in her direction. She lowered her napkin and spoke, "Well that was certainly a good meal... in fact I daresay it's one of the bests I've ever had." The princess admitted. The collective sigh made her drop a sweat then she gave a smile. "You certainly are a remarkable chef Hanako it seems as though your brother was telling the truth!" Hanako's pink cheek's turned a dark shade of pink.

"Big brother always tells the truth!" Hanako said. Rozalin raised an eyebrow.

"Always?" she asked, the young demoness scowled at her and gave her a challenging stare.

"Yes Always!" She shot back. The golden haired demoness didn't say anything then she stood up.

"I'm going to retire for the night. Is there any clothes I might change into for the night?" She asked, Mom put a hand on her chin.

"I think you could use my spare pajamas they should fit you well." The three eyed demon said and she went upstairs to grab the said clothes. Adell watched as Mom went upstairs. Then he turned his gaze to his family who was looking at Rozalin or as Dad was doing talking to her. He stared at her then he turned his gaze to the kitching sink where he was washing the dishes. As he washed the dishes he thought about his fight with the fake Zenon and how weak he was eventually resorting to that power. He clenched a plate tightly and he slowly lowered the plate into the bubbling mass of water. He lowered his head and stared at the mass of bubble's. Then he washed the soap off his hands put on his long black gloves and walked outside. He walked up to the tents and pulling Sheik's open found the warrior with his armored gloves and head band reading a book called 'The way of the Sword' Sheik looked up.

"Come with me and wake the others." Adell said and with that he was gone and walking toward a tent with a symbol of a Judge's Hammer. He waited there as yawning and mumbling Gnome, Mabel, and Shiek walked up.

"So boss what's up?" Sheik asked. Adell turned his gaze to him then he looked at his hand whic lay open.

"I think we're in need of a few extra soldiers..." Adell said and with that he went into the tent.

Rozalin changed into the pajama's noticing the holes that had been cut in to allow her wings to fit in. She flapped her wings slightly happy then she looked around in the room she now had. Apparently it used to be Adell's room when he was young but Adell had built himself a new room in the attic and therefore didn't use the room anymore. As she looked around she noticed the various workout items and the single poster of a man wearing gloves punching with the words 'BIG BANG!' on the top in spikey letters. She then saw a small punching bag, and she walked over to it noticing the various bandages applied to it. Then she noted the blood on some of the bandages, she pulled away. She then noticed the large cabinet and opened it to see Adells current outfit only smaller but growing larger and larger as the row went along. She smiled slightly, "He must really like this outfit, what a boorish fool," she said. She then closed the closet and walked to the bed where she sat down. She looked around once more then stretched yawning all the while. A knock and the door opened to reveal Mom.

"Is everything alright?" She asked Rozalin nodded.

"Yes thank you..." She said smiling.

"Have good dreams." Mom said and she closed the door. Rozalin nodded and with that she shuffled ont the bed fluffed the pillow then laid down pulling the blankets over her and closed her eye's.

That night Rozalin had troubling dreams indeed...
