Hello and welcome to my new Story! I have been on hiatus for a couple of years so bear with me if I'm a little rusty. So to summarize this intro, I got this crossover idea after replaying Overlord, and after watching some Akame Ga Kill afterwards. Hopefully it makes sense.

So just be ready for some fun, mayhem, and Minion Carnage! Oh and for a disclaimer, Akame Ga Kill is owned by its respective creators. Overlord is owned by Codemasters. Please support the official release!

Akame Ga KillxOverlord: Evil Always Finds a Way

Prologue

Once upon a time there was a lovely sheepie-Oh no you don't! Cursed Gubbin, he can't keep his claws off my logbooks. I'll have to start from scratch to keep up appearances. Let me just get my bearings... Ahem!

Once upon a time, there was an ending. We minions lost our previous Overlord several ages ago, a few decades after battling an overgrown magical slug created by a bumbling elf and his empire. I've seen Overlords come and go though, squashed, dismembered, and then our previous Overlord's Father trapped in an Infernal Abyss! Ah, still, the ages have gone by. We minions drifted away, tribe by tribe, searching for a new master. Only the Browns see fit to keep me company nowadays here in the old Netherworld tower. Whilst we made our existence down here the best we could, but from small scouting expeditions every so often, we have relatively a strange surprise.

The world as we know it has changed. The Elves have retreated to secret hidden sanctuaries and the dwarves hide in their old sanctums, mankind has flourished. Did I mention the reason the elves and dwarves are hiding because of how strange new creatures have emerged? Some so dangerous I doubt even the Browns would be brave enough to fight one without having an especially sharp pointy thing.

But I am being sidetracked. Those humans have founded themselves a new Empire! It's called, The Empire. Pretty bland if I may say so. No titular embellishments, no fancy names. It was several days after the death of the Old Emperor and the rise of the new that several...interesting events occurred.

A strange creature wearing a Jester Hat was chasing a small, round glass object across the floor of the hut that encompassed part of a secret reconnaissance mission. But he assumed it was because it was to give other members of his species a break from his 'artistic' talent. "Come back eye! I need Ye to stay in me head for the time being!" The creature shouted. The creature caught a hold of the object just as a stone the size of a small wheel glowed and a wizened older creature walked in, holding a small black stone.

"Quaver! Do stop mucking about! We don't want to lose another chance! The Pieces of the Tower heart we recollected after using it as a projectile on Solarius's doorstep is reacting!" He shouted. Several more creatures wielding clubs emerged as well.

"What? Does the tower heart pine at another opportunity? Oh joys of a thousand-" the older of the two grabbed the Jester by the mouth.

"Do calm down. Alright! You five search the woods, you five head towards the nearby villages! We got a potential Master to save!" The Old Creature stated as the others ran out the door into the night, running over Quaver with relative glee and laughter.

"Savages!" He shouted. "Gnarl they have no appreciation for me! What's going on at the villages that I don't know about?!"

"From what I can tell, you blithering poet, that new prime minister is conducting a taxation raid! Devious as it is, it's a perfect opportunity to find a master!" Gnarl stated, almost smirking in satisfaction. "Minister 'Honest' is going to indirectly create our potential new Overlord!"

His village was in flames, he was playing in the meadows outside it moments ago. He was kneeling now before the burning buildings bunching up handfuls of grass in his anger. Tatsumi was trying to hold back his tears. He was angry and sorrowful at the same time. He was just a boy, but he wanted to get revenge on what had happened to his Village. But how, how could he?!

"How can I get back at someone bigger then me?!" He shouted angrily.

"Bash knees then cut off heads!" Shouted a small, gravelly voice. Tatsumi turned to see what he assumed were talking Danger Beasts. His assumption didn't seem far off, they didn't look human, yet they seemed to possess some intelligence. Their brownish skin was covered with a black fur coat of some kind on their backs, it seemed to dark to be their hair. They're yellow glowing eyes didn't help either.

"Come! Follow! Our new Master would follow!" One of the creatures in the group said taking one of Tatsumi's hands and helping him stand up. "This way! Before Empire comes back!" The boy couldn't figure out what to say but if they were offering either food or shelter, he'd follow them. He nodded for them to lead on as he began walking.

I'll admit, what Scrap's team discovered at a wonderfully destroyed area was a bit too...trusting, but I believe we could work with what we have, giving him a proper evil education! And whilst we took it upon ourselves to educate our potential new master, The Empire entered a new age, a New Era! Prime Minister Honest's era (Strange name, he isn't quite so honest if you ask me! But delightfully devious using the Emperor as his puppet to rule). The upper class was happy, and those who weren't were killed, enslaved, or had other nasty things done to them. It's the way of life when you live in an Empire...

But now, soon it will be Our New Master's time! Time to reign on this Puppeteer's Parade! Tatsumi will wreak his vengeance! (although we're probably going to have to give him a more evil title to use, His name doesn't strike fear to me for some reason.)

We'll crush this Empire and bring its Denizens to its Knees! Because Evil always finds a way!

And That's the opening Prologue! Yes it's slightly AU in terms of Tatsumi losing his Village and becoming a new Overlord potentially, but it gets the job done. The idea for the crossover is that the Overlord has a little competition from the current Rulers.

If this gets enough attention I'll probably continue this, so leave a review if you liked it!
