Opening
Many years have passed after the sudden rising of the Beauty Tyrant Etna.. Though she's done nothing of great importance or worthy of attention, she, who is said to had usurped the previous Overlord has single-handedly brought peace to the Netherworld, the Human World, and Celestia. Though only rumors, many demons of the Netherworld know of Etna's power and choose not to question these rumors. But in another Netherworld, referred to by its residents as the Shadow Netherworld, a world that is literally covered in shadows. In this Netherworld, its cities are covered in darkness where the only light is fire from the remains of countless battles. In this world plagued by darkness, there exist demons who have their own plans in store for this peaceful Netherworld.
~In the Shadow Netherworld~
In the Deepest ends of this Netherworld, in pitch black darkness there lies a demon bound by chains of light, the darkness so strong that the chains light are the only possible thing you can see. Here in this darkness a group of demons converse, the demon bound by the chains seem to be their leader.
"Have any of you been able to invade Celestia?" the leader quickly asks.
No one responds to his question though.
"The barrier huh?"
They seem to nod which the demons of that world can clearly make out.
One of the demons finally speak.
"The Barrier that Celestia set up is almost unapproachable, demons cant go near it without fear of being completely destroyed. Only the angels can pass through the barrier unharmed and they wouldn't dare tread in the Shadow Netherworld."
"I see, so we can't get to Celestia from here, but perhaps we can get there from elsewhere." The leader begins speaking of his plan.
"Unknown to most of us, due to Celestia, there lies another Netherworld parallel to ours, very few demons from this world know of its existence and we just so happen to have someone who knows how to get there as well. He also knows much about this Netherworld as well."
1Another demon speaks, "From what I do know the other Netherworld is no threat what so ever, even its Overlord is a pushover. If we invade it, they will not stand a chance."
"And just who is the Overlord of this Netherworld?" The leader curiously asks.
Quickly obeying their leader, the demon shows a picture to him. "This demon is their current Overlord, she is known as the Beauty Tyrant Etna."
Soon they all begin to speak. "This little girl is their Overlord?" "This will be even easier then we thought!" "I could kill her myself.." As they all continue to mock Etna the leader speaks.
"The Overlord is the Overlord for a reason, and one of those reasons is because she is the strongest demon of that world, though she doesn't seem it, though not a match for me.. Never-the-less, regardless of how strong she might be, Celestia probably has no reason to deny her Netherworld from entering Celestia, we just need to invade before they can find out and learn where the door is to enter into Celestia. Gather as much information as you can about that Netherworld for now, we'll plan our move later, thats all.."
All the shadows surrounding the bound demon disappear
"It would appear that I've stumbled across something interesting. I've been bound all these centuries but I never forgot the faces of the ones who sealed me here...That wretched Lamington and that blue haired demon. I promised them when I broke this seal that I'd personally kill them both. I hope you haven't forgotten me Seraph Lamington."
~Haahahahaha!~
Disgaea -Descent of a Divine Demon-
We are brought into the Overlord's Castle...err, now the Beauty Queen's Castle, our story begins with a familiar figure snoozing in a giant chair. In front of her seems to be an endless amount of paperwork and request that have yet to be touched and probably will not be either. Another familiar character enters the room..
"I never get tired of planting flowers." Flonne says as she enters the room. She looks around surprised to see no one visible in the room. But she hears the faint sound of snoring in the background.
"ETNA!" She screams as loud as possible knowing that normal methods aren't effective against Etna's sleeping habits. "MISS ETNA PLEASE WAKE UP! MISS ETNA IT'S ME!" Flonne continues to scream but eventually gives up. Unknown to her, Etna, who was actually awaken by her yelling tries to play as if she is still asleep. "Miss Etna, I hate to do this but you've left me no choice!" Flonne begins to take a deep breathe, "Actually, I've been practicing." she says with an evil smile.. Etna at this point curious to see what Flonne has planned for her secretly tries to take a peek at her through the paperwork, she sees the image of Flonne taking a pose as if shes going to sing...Etna quickly jumps out of her chair. "OK! OK! I'm awake Flonne so please don't sing!" She sighs from relief as she sits back into her chair panting from relief. "I was having such a great dream too...20 more minutes" She begins to start dozing off again.
"Etna, don't you think you should actually finish all your work..I mean relaxing is good and all but that's all you seem to do now.." Flonne complains as she tries to sort out all the paper work. As she continues to examine all the paper work she begins to grow angry, "MISS ETNA...Have you even started any of this yet? I remember seeing these about a month ago..what have you been doing all this time?" Etna opens a eye and looks around, then notices the piece of paper she was laying on and covered in droll. She picks up the wet sheet of paper and watches as the soggy paper fall apart. "Hehe, that one I actually did sign. I think you were here when I signed it." "That's all you've done? I knew I shouldn't had left the castle, have you really been asleep all this time?" Etna who now finally gets up to stretch in her chair begins to look around. "Yeah that seems about right, you were the last person I saw before I took a short nap.." Etna begins to slump back into her chair and slowly dozes off.
"But Etna, I've been gone for the past month have you really been alright?" She then raises a finger, "...and I don't think a month is a short nap. What about the prinny's have you not paid them while I've been gone? Aren't you going to finish the paperwork..." Flonne lectures. All the while Etna, half asleep, only makes Flonne's words out as.. "BLAHBLAHBLAH FLOWERS BLAHBLAH LOVE BLAH!"
"That's nice Flonne." Etna says while yawning. After stretching she throws her feet up on the desk knocking most of the paperwork off which floods Flonne. "I've had so much work to do lately I don't think I've had a good nap in awhile..But now that I've slept I'm starving...uhh Flonne?" Etna looks around in attempt to find Flonne, who pops her head out of the sea of paper.
"Oh yes I'm hungry as well, I just actually got back to the castle so I haven't really had anything to eat today.." Flonne says while trying to squirm out of the flood of papers. "But what about all the work that's piled up while you were asleep? Shouldn't you take care of these?" Flonne suggest still trying to get out of the papers.
Etna glares at all the papers on the floor, then generates a fireball in her hand which is then dropped onto the desk. "Now its taken care of lets eat.." She says watching the desk and all the papers burn to a crisp.
"Oh Miss Etna, lets have lunch in Celestia! Can we please go to Celestia?" Flonne begs. "No thanks, I ordered a months supply of limited Edition pudding thats calling me." Etna replies while drooling from her mouth. "If I remember it right, I think after you left I ordered the pudding, then I starting thinking about the pudding...then I think I fell asleep."
Etna and Flonne reach the Rosenqueen customer service counter. They are welcomed by an archer, "Ah Overlord Etna how may I help you?" Etna gives the archer a somewhat annoyed glare while the archer's smiles back at her. "I'm here to pick up my order...why else would I be here?" "I'm sorry but there isn't anything for you, If you have ordered an item I can track it for you." Flonne speaks up, "Well thats odd, are you sure that you ordered it Miss Etna..." Before she could finish her sentence, Etna flashes her a death grin that would make anyone stop mid-sentence. Etna in a rage, grabs the archer from over the counter by her pigtail. "WHERE IN THE HELL IS MY MONTH SUPPLY OF LIMITED EDITION PUDDING!" "Sorry...I...Thought..You...were...informed..." The archer cries in pain, then after hearing that Etna lets go of her hair. "Informed of what?" "Due to the limited production of the pudding, your order was placed on hold because someone placed a order before yours." Etna goes completely silent. "Also we were informed that because of the mass amounts of pudding thats already been ordered that the month supply orders are no longer available and now are limited to only 1 pudding an order." The archer bows to apologize to her, all the while Etna remains completely silent.
~A few minutes later~
Outside of Etna's office there is a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. Inside Etna sits at her desk, words can not describe the expression of anger on her face. Flonne then enters the room. Etna gives her usual death glare but Flonne seems unaffected. "I sent the prinny's to rebuild Rosenqueen, do you wanna sign off on the invoice?" Etna continues to glare at her. "Oh and I happened to find the one who beat you to the order as well..." "WHO WAS IT!" Etna screams. "His names Maharo and it looks like he lives in Celestia actually." "Is that so...So you wanted to go to Celestia huh? I think it'd be a good idea to pay a visit.." "OH DO YOU MEAN IT MISS ETNA?" Flonne says with excitement. "Yeah...I need a vacation anyway! And I'm gonna find the dead man who scammed me out of a months supply of limited edition pudding.." she mutters quietly. But even if she had yelled that comment Flonne who is completely occupied with visiting Celestia is currently unavailable. "I can't wait! I haven't been to Celestia in forever! I'm gonna go make reservations! It's going to be so much fun~" Flonne runs off to prepare for the trip to Celestia, Etna is left to her own thoughts. "She sure seems excited.. but I guess a vacation isn't a bad idea. Besides, I've been ignoring them for some time...I guess it's time to take care of some unfinished business in Celestia." She then opens up a hidden drawer in her desk with a single letter. She picks it up and looks over it then looks at the portrait behind her. The portrait is of the late Overlord King Krichefskoy, yet under this enormous portrait is a very (and I mean very) small picture of the previous Overlord, Laharl. Etna stares at the small picture of Laharl, who in the picture is literally shown taking candy from a baby and laughing. What the hell are you even doing now Prince? There's no way you'd let some scrub kill you, but you should had been back by now...We haven't even heard a word from you since you left. "Oh well though, I am the Overlord now so I don't really care if you come back, and if you do someday come back, your gonna be my vassal." After going on a few more minutes about the torture she can only imagine putting vassals through, Flonne finally returns. "Miss Etna, everything is all set for us to go whenever your ready to go. How long do you want to stay in Celestia?" Etna snaps out of her daydream. "It's just for a day.." "JUST ONE DAY! Awwww...I guess I packed for nothing.." She says disappointingly and looks over at her 'luggage', which is packed with a month's worth of clothes. "Oh, you can stay if you really want, I actually have business in Celestia." "Oh.. is that so?" "Yeah, I don't plan to stick around too long there." She gets up from her chair and walks to the door, Flonne stops her before she leaves. "Etna? Is something wrong?" "No...why are you asking me that out of the blue?" "No reason its just that..." she is suddenly interrupted by a knocking on the door. "~Oh Beautiful Overdood! You have mail Dood!~" the prinny slides the letter through the door and runs off. Etna quickly grabs the letter and opens it. Then suddenly crumbles it up and throws it aside. "What was that about?" Flonne curiously asked. "I don't know..I looked at the insignia in the letter and it was pretty stupid looking." "Don't you think you should actually read it?" "Nope. Anyway let's get going." Etna then takes out her cell phone, "~Prinny Team Come On!~" In seconds, the Prinny Squad are outside her door. "You Belch Beautiful Overdood?" "I'm leaving for Celestia for a day, when I come back I want this castle spotless, and while your at it take care of the paperwork I haven't done yet." A lone prinny then speaks up, "But you've never even done any paperw-" Before the Prinny could finish there's a loud explosion. Needless to say that prinny will never finish that sentence as he took Etna's Chaos Impact head on. Flonne hurries over to the charred prinny. "MR. PRINNY ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Etna then gives the Prinny Squad her trademarked Death Glare she recently picked up after becoming Overlord. "So anyone else have something to say, or are you clear on your orders?" "~WE GOT IT DOOD!~" The Prinny Squad obediently responds. She begins to walk off and Flonne hurries behind her. "I'm impressed Miss Etna, you gave them a easy task to tend to while you are going to be gone this time." "Well they're already doing a lot as it is no need to pile on even more work yet." Flonne then goes into a praise state. "Your finally showing your vassals that you love them, I'm sure they'll finish their task swiftly and finally be able to relax as well." Etna interrupts her. "Relax? Please they have far too much work to be slacking. I give each member of the Prinny Squad a few hundred missions at a time..And I expect every one of them to have them all finished by the time I come back from Celestia." "Eh?" Is all Flonne can say still in her praising state. They start walking off,
Meanwhile back where the Prinny's are cleaning the Overlords office. The paper Etna crumbled up uncrumbles itself, but is spotted by a prinny. "DOOD! did you see that? This paper just uncrumbled it was awesome Dood!~" "No way Dood.." "Seriously Dood check it out." The prinny crumbles to paper up again and after a minute the paper uncrumbles itself yet again. They suddenly hear something yelling that apparetly coming from the letter, "STOP CRUMBLING ME UP YOU IDIOTS!" The prinny's just blankly stare at the letters outburst. "DOOD THATS AWESOME! DO IT AGAIN DOOD!" This insignia is pretty creepy though dood. Who cares dood this is something you don't see everyday! Dood lets keep this, I'm sure Master Etna won't even read this anyway dood. YEA DOOD!" The prinny squad decide to spend the rest of the day playing with the letter. Meanwhile inside the insignia..We find a demon inside crying. Why did this have to happen to me...It seems the demon was a spy sent to observe Etna but it seems to have ended in utter failure?
~End of Episode 1~
Etna: Screw a episode preview we finally got the first episode done.. I'm not ready to spoil the story yet.
Flonne: Yeah, I have to say the author took his sweet time writing this, I thought that it'd at least be a little longer...
Etna: I know.. it took this idiot like 2 years to finally get around to writing the first episode. I gotta respect his procrastination.
Flonne: Well at least he finally got the story started..And we get to be main characters as well.
Etna: Yeah... but it's not our own story though, he's going off a bad ending from the game after all...
Flonne: True but at least this has gotten off to a good start, I mean we never go on a vacation.
Etna: Oh by the way, This vacation is coming out of your pocket.
Flonne: WHAT! THATS NOT FAIR!
Etna: What's not fair is that Celestia pays you HL every week to sit on your lazy butt..
Flonne: Hehe, well I was told my funding is going to run out soon.
Etna: That's not going to save you from paying though, I know you've been saving up anyway.
Flonne: BUT I'M NOT KIDDING ABOUT THAT!
Etna: Maybe I'll have you enlist in the Prinny Squad?
Flonne: I hope your joking...
Etna: It's not as bad as they make it seem, I send you on a minimum of 300 missions a week. But since the squad loses prinny's by the day they get around 1000 missions every week.
Flonne: That many and how much do you pay them?
Etna: Depends on how I'm feeling at the time actually.. But I'll give you a far better contract then the prinny's. How's this sound? 300 missions a week, 150 hour work weeks, while being on call 24/7, limited benefits and minimum wage payment. Don't tell the prinny's though they'll kill you if they find out I'm giving you such a great offer.
Flonne: ...No thanks...besides I still have my teaching license. I always wanted to start teaching my classes again.
Etna: You mean that one you made me sit through? Sorry I'm not funding for that again...The entire Netherworld sent me complaints about your class.
Flonne: IS THAT WHY YOU CANCELED MY CLASSES! YOU TOLD ME MY CLASS WAS STOPPED DUE TO NETHERWORLD DEPRESSION!
Etna: Not entirely, some Netherworld has a massive Academy to teach demons to be proper demons. They basically give me a cut of the tuition for every student I send there from other Netherworlds. So it was more of a business move.
Flonne: Is that so? I always wondered where you were getting all that extra spending cash from? I guess your involved in a lot of under-the-table deals?
Etna: Yeah something like that, all the funds granted to me by the Dark Assembly are pretty strict so I had to find some ways to make some money for myself.
Flonne: I bet Celestia would be willing to help you out with that.
Etna: Oh yeah, well Celestia is really who I get most of my spending money from, I get a pretty hefty check every week from my investment.
Flonne: Oh well thats wonderful, what is your investment of yours by the way?
Etna: Oh don't you know...half of your check to live here goes to me, its basically your rent.
Flonne: ...Shoulda Known...
Etna: - "Yep so you better find a job soon if your money is running out or I'm putting you out you bum."
Flonne: - "How cruel Miss Etna..."
