Author's Notes: This story takes place after the main story of Disgaea 4 and the post game. I just feel like writing so here goes. 4th wall may or may not be there. Reader discretion is advised.

Prologue: After the End, Before the Beginning

"Prinny Rule No. 1! You shall always include the word 'dood' in every line you say!" Valvatorez shouted as usual to the Prinnies. The row of Prinnies all lined up and saluted.

"Aye aye sir!" they shouted in Unison.

Valvatorez punched the air taking a striking form and shouted again, "Wrong! Prinny Rule No. 1! You shall always include the word 'dood' in every line you say! Now do it again!"

The Prinnies responded, "Aye aye dood!" They stood even straighter than last time. Valvatorez seemed pleased enough and said with a small smile.

"Excellent! That only took about 8 hours for you lot to get it right. Your sardines are over there." the vampire pointed sharply to a pile of canned sardines. "Dismissed!" he shouted.

The Prinnies all scrambled towards the pile, stumbling over themselves to try to hoard the sardines. After that Valvatorez returned to his office where his coffin lied alongside pots full of sardines. Fenrich, his loyal vassal stood vigilantly greeted his lord upon return.

"You've return earlier than I anticipated." remarked the werewolf. Valvatorez swung his cape upwards proudly, "Yes, the Prinnies were more cooperative than before." he said before taking a handful of sardines and stuffing them in his mouth.

After the defeat of Fear the Great, all members of the Hades party have returned to their usual lives. Human souls still enter the Netherworld to become Prinnies, however there have been fewer souls arriving lately and Valvatorez now has tons of free time. Fenrich on the other hand is still constantly planning for ways which his lord can rise beyond his position and rule the universe. He is concerned about how complacent Valvatorez is becoming even after all of his post game campaigning.

Unknownst to Fenrich, Valvatorez is aware of how much free time he is having as well as the diminishing amount of souls entering Hades. Maybe it's time I started on that. He thought. To bring Hades to the worlds, to spread the nobility and fear of demons.

"Fenrich I believe it's time." said Valvatorez. The werewolf perked his ears wondering what his lord meant.

Valvatorez continued, "Time to bring Hades to all the worlds and bring fear to the hearts of humans." Fenrich was overjoyed upon hearing this statement. He bowed and said loudly, "Yes, all is for my lord."

"My lord, we must begin preparations at once! Regain your powers, order the vassals, collect funding so much to do." Fenrich sounds excited.

Upon hearing about regaining his powers Valvatorez thought back to that time. He was in his room alone with Artina.

"Hello...Mr. Vampire." Artina said softly. "...Hey, what is it?" the vampire wondered.

Artina clutched her hands to her chest right hand over left, her face saddened, eyes dull. "Oh, I just felt like we haven't really had a chance to talk yet." she said. "I knew you were that vampire from back then, but… I was too focused on my task and.."

"It's fine.. I actually can't believe that you're the same Artina." Valvatorez casually responded. "Who would have thought that Pure-Hearted Artina would've become a money grubbing woman." there was disbelief in his voice along with disappointment, but most of all astonishment.

"Oh please! Gimme a break!" Artina retorted. "I told you I wasn't collecting all that money because I wanted to."

Valvatorez replied in a disappointed tone, "I know, but I can't help it after seeing all the excitement in your eyes when you were talking about money."

"Mr. Vampire, you've gotten a little mean." Artina teased.

"Hmph.. calling a demon mean huh? Your fearless attitude towards demons hasn't changed. Ahh...you really are Artina." Valvatorez said cooly.

"Mr. Vampire I wanted to apologize to you." the angel clasped her hand around her wrist.

"Apologize?" the vampire was a bit puzzled.

Artina continued "Yes, to keep the promise you made to me, you continued to forbid yourself from drinking human blood. As a result you lost your powers and fell to Hades.. I don't know how to express how sorry I am."

"You don't need to apologize. I only did that because I made the promise." Valvatorez tried to relieve Artina. She replied sadly, "Plus, I kept worrying about Judge Nemo, while you suffered the whole time because of that promise. As Mr. Werewolf said, I'm just a hypocrite."

Valvatorez could feel the tears almost coming so he promptly replied, "Think whatever you like, but doing something is always better than not doing anything. Plus by falling to Hades, I discovered sardines: a great source of nutrition. I should be thanking you for that." Hopefully that made Artina feel better. Val hoped.

"Oh Mr. Vampire.. I'm trying to be serious right now." Artina whined.

Valvatorez calmly replied, "I'm being serious too." He really hopes this doesn't lead to a misunderstanding.

Artina smiled and laughed a little, "You really are Mr. Weirdo. I'm glad we got to meet again."

"Likewise, now I finally get to keep the promise I made back then." said Valvatorez. Artina said with a feeling of finality, "Yes, I ended up making you wait 400 years."

"Right, as I promised, I shall only quench my thirst after I take you down to the depths of despair." Valvatorez said a bit excitedly. "Hmhm… now how should I go about this? This will be most interesting."

"No there's no need to do that to me." said Artina. The buzz was killed for Valvatorez. He asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"I've already seen the depths of despair. When you were dragged inside of Fear the Great I thought I had lost you. Your death, my knees were trembling with fear just thinking about it. All I could do was stand there trying not to scream out loud." her voice truly was sincere and sorrowful.

Resolutely she continued, "You have kept your promise. Now go ahead and take my blood and please regain your power, Tyrant Valvatorez.. My, Mr. Vampire…" with relief she turned to the side. From the corner of her eyes she focused on the vampire, his constantly changing facial expressions from confused, angry, happy, sad, disappointed, all repeating themselves for a moment before he composed himself. Her white wings fluttered slowly and softly. She was expecting Valvatorez to go for her neck soon.

The slits that were Valvatorez's eyes narrowed as he focused on the angel offering herself before him. He rushed up to her grabbing her shoulder with one arm and wrapping the other around her waist. Artina unconsciously wrapped her arms around his back in surprise to the sudden embrace. She could feel him breathing down her neck, a drop of saliva fell from his mouth and slid down her neck to her chest.

The vampire whispered, "You sure about this? I might just leave you as a shriveled corpse."

"That may be so but I trust you, Mr. Vampire." Artina said calmly with her eyes closed. Valvatorez whispered in her ear, "You really shouldn't trust demons."

Artina giggled at that comment and replied, "Silly, of course I don't trust every demon I come across." After a brief pause, "... But I do trust you. Because I know you'll always keep your promises."

Valvatorez bared his fangs ready to pierce the angel's neck, but stopped short of touching the smooth silky skin. Artina was confused when she didn't feel the bite and opened her eyes to see the vampire 2 steps away from her.

"Sorry, but I can't" Valvatorez said sadly. Artina asked, " Wait, why not?"

Valvatorez had to think of an excuse fast. "It's not like I don't want to suck your blood…. BUT as a proud and noble demon I can't simply accept such an easy victory. I'll only be satisfied after I see for myself that face that I shall plunge into despair!"

Artina made a face that was clearly disappointed in him but she said nothing and left the room.

"ARGH! WHAT WAS I THINKING?" Valvatorez shouted, ending his reminiscence. Fenrich looked at him and asked him what's wrong. "Nothing." the vampire replied. For now he will have to make do with his current power.

The next day came and Fenrich had already made all the preparations for departure. In front of the multi dimensional gate which swirled blue with mysterious energies, the two of them check their inventories and were ready to go.

"Onwards Fenrich!" Valvatorez shouted.

Fenrich replied, "Yes, all is for my lord."
