I do not own Rosario+Vampire or Overlord; if I did, I'd be rich.

"So" Daitaro asked as he stood next to the gate with Kokoa, Mizore, the blue haired girl and Tsukune "exactly who are we waiting on?" looking at Kokoa.

"Moka, Yukari, and Ruby" the blue haired girl said to him.

"Kurono-san; right?" looking at her, she nodded; "who are Ruby and Yukari?"

"Two witches" Mizore said.

Daitaro sighed; this was the last thing he needed, six girls at the Tower to make a mess. He didn't care that Kokoa wanted to go, but the rest was pushing it. He didn't even know why Tsukune wanted to go, nor did he really care. He just wanted to know one thing; how the hell did he manage to draw so much attention to himself only on orientation day?

"And you're Shirayuki-san" making sure he had his facts straight.

"Why are you being so formal with us?" Kurumu asked him.

"The last time I tried being informal and called someone by name" looking at Kokoa "I was hit with a Morningstar."

Kokoa looked away from the group. She'd never apologize for hitting him; after all, he made her think she killed him with the hit in question. The way she saw it, they were even. She looked up into the sky and saw Kuo flying towards the group with a large bag in his mouth.

"What took you?" she asked the bat.

"You said the tapes from last year" he panted as he put the bag on the ground "so I grabbed all of them."

"Great" Daitaro moaned with a sarcastic tone "the minions are impossible to control on movie nights. Even the reds get a little out of hand."

In the distance, he could see three figures walking towards the gate. Moka and two other girls; a short one that was wearing a witch's costume, and an older looking girl. If he didn't die because of a migraine, he'd never leave the dungeon because of how much steam he'd have to blow off.

When Moka, Yukari, and Ruby got close enough his eye twitched. The older witch looked like she had been wearing the same outfit for years. It had holes torn in it, the seams were coming undone, and the color was fading. The book in her hand looked ancient; old worn out leather, a rusted lock holding the covers together, and only the gem in the center looked like it was new.

"You guys know the rules about leaving campus" she said looking at Kurumu, Mizore, and Tsukune "it's not allowed unless you get it approved by the Head Master first."

"Don't start" Daitaro said as he pointed at her "do not start. If I don't go to the dungeon and take out my anger on some creatures, I will end up destroying the school."
"Moka-san" he heard from Tsukune.

The names went back and forth before finally Moka bit his neck and started to drink his blood. It was quickly stopped with a knock on both Moka's and Tsukune's head from Kokoa. She did not look happy at all.

"Stop disgracing yourself by drinking this weaklings' blood" Kokoa said as she rested a baseball bat on her shoulder.

"GET ON THE RUNE NOW" Daitaro shouted in anger as he made a circular pad rise from the ground and it began to glow blue. His main focus was to keep from getting any more annoyed than he already was. He didn't care if it made him look like an ass. Kokoa stepped onto the pad with a smile; she was planning something for her 'sister'. Tsukune got on the pad quickly as he could. Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari ran to get on it. Ruby just stood where she was. "Are you coming?" looking at the Witch "or are you going to stay here. I honestly don't care either way; I'm gonna have a headache anyway."

"I'm going to have to be back in an hour" as she stepped onto the pad "I have work I'm going to need to do."

"Dark Tower" he whispered as he stepped onto the pad for himself.

Everyone's vision suddenly went blurry as the pad glowed brighter. Yukari and Ruby could feel the magic flow around them and seem to push them forwards. It tingled their skin as their vision slowly came back to them.

When their vision final came back, they saw a massive throne room with a marble walkway to a marble throne that had gold on the edges. Three massive pillars stood behind the throne; a red one, yellow one, and blue one. A large bowl of burning oil sat on either side of the throne.

"Sire" Gnarl said as he saw the group step through the gate "I wasn't expecting you to be home already; or with guests" looking at the girls "should I prepare the large bed chamber?" with a perverted smile.

"All hail…" the Jester started to say before he was cut off with a foot to his face and was sent flying across the throne room in between two of the three pillars.

"I am not in the mood" looking at where the Jester hit the wall.

"Of course, Sire" looking at a brown minion with a black sack over its head and a war ax in its hand "Tombstone; prepare the Trolls for the Master." The minion quickly took off down the stairs, its claws scrapping against the floor with each step.

"Giblet" Daitaro said looking at another brown minion wearing a metal helmet and had a hammer in its hand "gear me up with my training armor."

The minion snapped to attention and gave a quick salute before it took off a head of Daitaro down the stairs next to it. Each step Daitaro took led him farther into a dark chamber.

"I would suggest you keep an eye on where you step" looking at the girls "the minions are small, quick and most curious about a lot of things" as he walked towards where the minion called Tombstone had taken off to.

Everyone but Kokoa followed Gnarl down the stairs and through a door half way down. Kokoa had headed towards where Daitaro went. She could feel the air get hotter as she walked farther down the stairs; each step made her feel like she was walking into a furnace. She could make out the sound of metal being shifted around.

When she turned the corner, she saw Daitaro, with three large smelters behind him, buckle greaves onto his shins. The greaves had a scaled look to them, with what appeared to be spider webs etched into each scale piece, and the part that covered the knee had three scale pieces that curved around the knee. The cuisses wrapped all the way around the thigh and had what looked like ancient writing etched into them. The minion he had called Giblet handed him a gambeson. As he put it on he saw Kokoa standing at the bottom of the stairs.

"Hey Shuzen-san" as he reached for his breastplate "what's up?"

She didn't respond, her eyes were fixed on the menacing looking armor he was putting on; the breastplate in particular. The chest part its self was solid and outlined each pectoral, the abdominals were individual scales that imitated abs perfectly with chainmail wrapping around his sides and back, and the shoulder had curved up and out till about the same level as his ears. Even without all of his armor on, he looked like a force to be reckoned with.

"Trolls, huh?" finally snapping out of her daze "mind if I join in?"

"I don't want help right now" as he buckled one side of the breastplate secure "but I can arrange a fight for you if you want. Just don't think I'm gonna let you fight alone." He grabbed the spaulder for his left shoulder and tried to attach it to the breastplate. He couldn't get the strap through the loop that would hold it in place. He sighed and looked at Kokoa; "Can you give me a hand?"

"Sure" as she took the spaulder from him, put the strap through the loop and secured it "what all do you have in your dungeon?"

"Anything that has been slain by the Overlords before me" as he handed her the spaulder for his right shoulder "the largest thing I have in there, in size and strength, is a Rock Giant. I have yet to get that far in my training though."

"So," as she looped the strap through and secured it "what's the largest thing you've taken down, strength wise?"

"A Corrupted Unicorn" as he grabbed the gauntlet for his right hand and slipped it on "but make no mistakes, they are tough."

This gauntlet was much different than the one that Gnarl had brought him earlier. It looked to be simple leather with lion teeth sticking out of the knuckles, and at the end of the forearm part. Each finger joint had the same design burned into the leather; a circle that looks to be made of intertwined vines. He rolled his wrist over and buckled the strap down to hold the gauntlet in place.

Kokoa handed him the gauntlet that Gnarl had brought earlier, the center was yellow again. As he slipped it on, the center turned a light red. Either the heat from the smelters behind Daitaro was finally getting to her, or she actually felt a feeling for the 'human' in front of her. She noticed he was looking at her with a gentle face, like he was having a feeling too.

She kneed him in the gut to snap him, and her, out of the daze. He might look menacing, be strong enough to take a full power hit from her and get up like nothing happened, and have a wicked evil side to him; but he was still only a human. She couldn't let any ideas get into either of their heads.

"You can only beat a Unicorn" she laughed to cover up the real reason she hit him "and I thought that Gnarl said you were tough."

"And I thought vampires couldn't go out in day light" with a smirk. Nothing left Kokoa's mouth as she had a look that showed she couldn't come up with anything to say back. "Well" as he grabbed a battle ax from the weapon stand "let's get going before the minions start to harass your sister and her friends" walking past Kokoa and up the stairs.

When they got to the top of the flight of stairs, he noticed the Jester running from the dungeon stair way; something had happened to cause chaos. They causally walked to the door that the Jester had run from. The noise of violence slowly grew louder.

When he opened the door he saw three minions by it; a red, a blue, and a brown with an ice kunai sticking out of its forehead. The red was carefully melting the ice so that the blue would be able to fully revive the brown. A faint zapping could be heard as mana swirled from the blue's hands and into the wound on the brown. When the zapping faded, the brown took a large gasp of air and smiled. "Blue and white striped panties."

Another blue had another brown thrown over its shoulder as it approached Daitaro and Kokoa. He set the brown on the ground, a small blood pool formed from the holes in its chest, and the zapping was heard again. When the zapping stopped the brown that used to be dead woke up with a large perverted smile on his face; "Pink panties with white pokadots."

Daitaro let out a long and loud whistle to get the minions' attention. When they looked at him, many reds ran to his side; none of the others, they just took their sets and waited for him to get down to the arena. Kurumu and Mizore looked at Daitaro as if he was responsible for the minions' perverseness.

"Don't blame him for what those things do" Kokoa said with a smile "he wasn't here to command them."

"I can only completely control the reds for now" Daitaro said under his breath.

One of the greens lifted up Ruby's long skirt with its assassin blades and was blasted back by its own nose bleed. A blue ran over to it, picked up his fallen comrade, and ran towards Daitaro. When it got to Daitaro it set his comrade down and revived him.

"No panties" it said with a large perverted smile.

Ruby turned a dark shade of red when it said that. Daitaro just shook his head as he walked down the stairs and towards the arena with fifteen reds following. When Gnarl described women to him when he was younger, he got the impression that they were goddesses that could satisfy a man in many ways; he must have gotten the wrong impression. So far all he has seen was a girl that enjoys hitting him, a dual personality vampire, two non-seductive monsters that are known for being mistresses, and a weird witch that apparently doesn't wear panties.

Being raised in the Dark Tower had its advantages, he was strong, fast, powerful, and book smart. But it had its drawbacks; he couldn't go anywhere because Gnarl would draw much unwanted attention to them, this also meant that he had never actually met a female before. He knew their anatomy was much different than a male's, but he had no idea on how to interact with one; let alone approach one if he liked them.

He definitely thought that Kokoa was cute in her own way. He could see that she wanted to be stronger so badly, much like himself. Most likely so she could fight her sister on the same level and hopefully walk away victorious. However, he wanted to get stronger so he could reclaim the lands that are rightfully his.

When he got to the bottom of the stairs, he could see into the area; three trolls stood on the other side of the other gate. Large and ugly creatures that are just as fat as they were strong. Their guts hung over their loincloth. Their pale skin showed they didn't live in a sunny area before they were brought to the Tower for his fight.

He walked through the gate with his minions and ordered them to stay close to the gate and not interfere unless absolutely necessary. He heard the adjacent gate opening as the one behind his minions closed. A smile grew across his face as he picked up his battle ax and hefted over his shoulder. He'd finally be able to let loose after a very long four hours.

He had the perfect enemies to fight. Trolls are strong for their size, and take an awful lot to kill. All the anger that had built up from just that one Safety Committee guy could be let loose without worrying about killing any innocent by standards. After this fight though, he'd have to beg Kokoa and her sister's friends not to run their mouths about his strength. His plan is to remain a 'normal' student while he secretly gained control over the school grounds; thus adding it to his future domain.

He watched the three trolls stomp out from where they were being held and stare at him. He knew they wanted to kill him, but they weren't stupid enough to come to him. They were making him go to them; his minions always knew how to get the smarter creatures for him to fight.

Kokoa watched as Daitaro sprinted towards the trolls with his battle ax still on his shoulder. His minions staying back towards the gate they had walked through. However, they looked as if they were ready to aid their Master if he needed it. Fire balls rested in their hands as they watched their Master get further and further away from them.

Daitaro swung his ax at the closest troll's gut and followed up with an upwards cut across its chest. The cuts were deep, blood and fat oozed from each wound as the troll fell backwards in pain. The agonizingly painful look on the trolls face almost caused Moka to feel pity for it. That was quickly fixed with a quick death by decapitation from Daitaro as he brought his ax down on the troll's neck.

As the head rolled away, four yellow orbs fell from the death wound. Daitaro lured the other two trolls away from the mysterious orbs and closer to the gate they had entered the arena from. Four of the reds ran to the orbs, picked them up and ran back to the rest of the group; still holding the orbs in their hands.

"Daitaro stands strong" the Jester said over the roar of the rest of the minions' cheering.

The two remaining trolls swept Daitaro off the ground with their massive arms and sent him flying into the wall of the arena. The sound of his armor cracking from hitting the wall could be heard as the minions fell silent after seeing the first hit.

Daitaro quickly picked himself up and looked at the two trolls. A lust for blood was noticeable as he used a fire ball to heat the edge of his ax. The trolls charged, or what looked like charging, towards him as the metal got red hot.

Daitaro ran towards the incoming foes, holding his ax out ready to swing, and watched as the trolls jumped up and began to fall on their guts. A technique that could easily wipe out twelve minions at once with just one troll; there was no telling what it could do to him with two. He jumped to the side as he got closer to the falling trolls.

When the trolls landed he was hit with a powerful pressure wave caused by the impact of the trolls hitting the ground. One of the reds ran out to Daitaro, throwing fire balls as it drew closer to the trolls. Each fire ball thrown found its target with master precision. The spots where the fire balls hit caught fire and the trolls let out an odd scream of pain as the fire burned their skin.

As Daitaro got up he coughed a small amount of blood. He had never seen trolls use that kind of strategy to injure him. He cursed himself for rushing blindly towards the trolls like he did. Not only was his armor now in bad condition, but it was getting harder for him to move in; only his gauntlets were undamaged.

"Master ok?" the red asked him.

"Yeah Blaze" as he tried to adjust his weak and damaged armor "now let's end this" as a fire ball formed in his left hand.

"Yea-ha" Blaze laughed as he made a fire ball appear in each of his hands "they burn!" as he threw the fire balls at the closest troll and watched it catch fire.

Daitaro jumped up as best he could with his badly damaged armor and threw his fire ball at the second troll. As he came down, he brought his ax straight down on the troll and cut it straight down its gut. Blood, fat, and intestine spilled from the deep and devastating wound as Daitaro saw steam come from the ax because of the heat he had applied to it. The heat seared the blood vessels shut and kept Daitaro from getting blood all over him as he spun around and sliced through the trolls gut from hip to hip this time.

The troll fell backwards as its guts were sliced in half. Steam could be seen coming from the ax as Daitaro continued to fight the other troll without his minion's help. He sliced through the troll's left chest and removed its flabby man boob. Using the continuing motion, he spun around and slammed his leg into the troll's over sized gut.

The troll was sent bouncing across the ground before it slammed into the wall. Daitaro threw one large fire ball at the fat creature before he turned around and walked towards the gate he entered through. The stands busted into a roaring cheer as Daitaro dragged his ax blade in the sand, leaving a glassy trail behind him.

Not even Kokoa could say anything as she watched this alleged human walk to the minions. He had just beaten, not one but, three trolls almost completely by himself. Mizore and Kurumu wouldn't be able to do that together. When she first saw the trolls she had thought that only a werewolf or stronger would be able to kill them. Yet, Daitaro just did it with minimal help.

"Daitaro lives to fight another day" the Jester shouted with joy.

Ruby and Yukari were just as lost for words as Kokoa; it appeared that he taken a lot of damage, but he only coughed up blood once. He didn't use any incantation to use the fire balls he threw, but they did more damage than what they were expecting. The thing that made it harder for them to understand was the fact that not only did he not have a magical item, but he wasn't even a warlock. What made it even more confusing is that neither of them could feel any natural energy manipulation as he threw the fire balls.

"Bring me the life force" Daitaro ordered the reds to do.

Eight reds ran towards the fallen opponents to retrieve the life force. The four that already had life force in their hands presented it to him. He reached out and grabbed the orbs and a small yellow light spun around him as he took each one.

"For the Master" the other eight said as they presented the life force they collected to Daitaro.

The yellow orbs spun around Daitaro as he walked out of the arena. The armor's cracked edges grinding against each other with each slight shift of his torso. He had never been so thankful for putting on the accursed gambeson that itched like hell. However, it did keep him from getting cut and pinched by the damaged armor. He was feeling better though, he had taken out three trolls and didn't lose a single minion. His armor might've been in desperate need of repair, but it was well worth it. He carefully went up the stairs so the sharp cracked edges in his armor didn't slice through the gambeson that protected his skin. He could feel a sharp pain in his ribs where the trolls knocked him into a wall.

"Great" he said as he continued up the stairs "a bruised rib. That's gonna make getting out of this armor fun."

"Oh-my; Sire" Gnarl said when he saw the armor "Giblet just finished repairing that from when you last fought in the dungeon against the Corrupted Unicorns."

"If you would" looking at the old minion "bring Mortis to me so he can heal my bruised rib. I'm hurting just moving around, and I don't want to try getting out of this armor right now."

Gnarl bowed and walked down a third set of stairs that led to a dark chamber.

"How are you still standing" he heard behind him.

"Forget standing" another said "how are you still breathing?"

"You airhead" he heard Kokoa say "he can take full power hits from me. So it's not hard to see how he's still alive."

Kurumu, Mizore, Ruby, Yukari, and Moka screamed in horror when they saw a small hooded figure wielding a scythe walk up the stairs. Kokoa busted out laughing when she saw the blue tail that followed the figure; not from that but rather than hearing the screams of terror that were sounded just prior to that. Now she didn't have to stay up late to dress up like that to scare her fake sister.

"OWWW" the figure said with a watery voice as it rubbed its webbed looking ears "that hurt."

The figure lowered its hood and to everyone's surprise it was another minion. Same kind that revived the minions that Kurumu and Mizore had killed for looking up their skirts. The blue skin, webbed hands and feet, thin limbs, but this one looked much older than the others.

"Mortis" Daitaro said to the minion that resembled the grim reaper "I have a bruised rib; could you heal it for me?"

"Master no like pain" it said as its webbed hand glowed blue "Master must accept pain. Lets him know he's still alive" Daitaro's face showed pain as the minion healed his rib "mustn't fear death either; death is your friend. Better fate than others. I done" as its hand stopped glowing "you must learn magic, heal yourself while in battle" as it walked back down the stairs.

Daitaro carefully walked down the stairs back down to the hot chamber he had put his armor on in. shaking his head with each step. 'Why the hell did I let such cowards come to my tower?' he wondered as he removed his gauntlet.

He carefully unstrapped the spaulder and set it on the ground. Giblet looked at the damaged piece and Daitaro could've sworn he heard a sigh come from underneath the helmet the minion wore. As he unstrapped the other spaulder, Giblet grabbed the one on the ground and started to separate the scales.

He carefully lifted the breast plate off him and set it next to the spaulder. The cracks in it made him wonder how the edges didn't cut through the gambeson and into his chest. The gambeson was the next thing he took off; a smile grew across his face as the accursed itchy item no longer bugged him.

He felt his formally bruised rib; it was still a little sore, but it was just his mind thinking he still had the injury. This was something he was used to, he had to get used to it with how Gnarl had been making him train since he was thirteen. It was either deal with the injury and be out of commission for weeks while it healed, but Gnarl made him spend each day of that time in the library, or let Mortis heal the injury and deal with the memory pain afterwards. Most of the times he'd pick letting Mortis heal him; except for when he knew that Gnarl would make him spend the next week or so in the library.

He kneeled down and unbuckled his greaves and set them next to the rest of his armor. He noticed a small cut in his shin where the armor had pinched him. He really didn't think anything of it; just one more scar in a few days, was how he saw it. Just one more on his already numerous total; while many had faded, most were still noticeable.

Once he had the last of his armor off, he grabbed a pair of jeans and a white shirt, slipped them on, slipped his gauntlet back on, grabbed his battle ax and headed back up the stairs. Normally he would've walked out in just his jeans, but he normally doesn't have company. He also had one more fight to do, but this time with Kokoa at his side.

When he reached the top of the stairs, he saw Kokoa chasing Moka and Tsukune with a battle ax of her own. Most likely trying to get Tsukune to release her true sister again. He chuckled as he watched her run after her sister and the only one that could release her true sister. He was really starting to like how vicious she could be.

"Shuzen-san" he said with a smile as he rested his battle ax on his shoulder "ready for your fight?"

"Finally" as her battle ax turned back into a bat that rested on her shoulder.

"Tombstone" he said "ready three of each beetle" with a smile.

The minion took off down the stairs again, not wanting to make his master wait. The last time he made his master wait, he nearly had to trade jobs with one of the minions that had to collect the creatures that the master would fight against; a far more dangerous job. One that had a low survival rate. Kokoa followed Daitaro down the stairs and to the gate of the arena. She was amazed at how much larger the arena was when actually standing in it.

"I'm starting to like this place" she said with a large smile "creatures to kill for fun, the minion things that do anything you say, and this is only the start of it; isn't it?" looking at Daitaro.

"Yeah" as he summoned ten reds, five browns, and five blues "it's not much, but it's home."

"So" looking at the minions "what does each color do?"

"Reds are fire archers" as he rubbed one of the horned minions "browns are the toughest and usually are used as the first wave of an attack" as he patted a brown minion "and blues are the healers and magical ones" with a smile.

The gate slowly opened as Daitaro looked at the arena, which already had sixteen beetles crawling around it. Four brown, four red, for green and four blue; just as he had asked for. Kokoa's eyes lit up as she looked at all the easy targets. She couldn't believe how cool this place was.

"Put your claws together" the Jester shouted over the roaring of the other minions "for the first tag team fight ever."

Daitaro walked into the arena with Kokoa at his side and twenty minions behind them. Daitaro was used to fighting these beetles; he didn't think they were all too dangerous, which is why he chose them as Kokoa's first fight.

"Why don't we make this interesting" looking at Kokoa "the one that kills the most wins."

"What does the loser have to do?" looking at Daitaro with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know" with a confused tone.

"If I win" looking at his battle ax "you have to have that Giblet minion make me armor like yours. And if you win, I'll get you a bat like Kuo."

"Sounds good" with a smile as he hefted his battle ax onto his shoulder.

"Battle ax" as she grabbed Kuo and he changed into one.

"FIGHT TIME" the Jester shouted with joy.

Kokoa and Daitaro blotted towards the numerous beetles. When they each got to the closest one to them, they started to swing. Daitaro landed one hit and followed the momentum to land a second hit; which split the beetle's rock hard armor wide open. Four yellow life forces fell from the beetle as he spun around to make sure there wasn't another beetle waiting to attack his blind side. As he spun around, the yellow life forces twirled around his body and vanished.

Kokoa landed one swing and let the momentum push the beetle into the sandy ground. She was completely caught off guard when the beetle opened its wings and pushed the ax off its back.

It opened its massive jaws and tried to bite her legs, but was stopped by Daitaro's ax going right in between its armor protected wings and into its soft underlying skin; four more yellow life forces spun around his body and vanished. Kokoa quickly got the hint that it will take more than one powerful hit to kill these beetles. She rushed over to the two remaining brown ones and hit them with one powerful strike; which sent them flying towards the wall. They landed on their backs and struggled to flip themselves over. She jumped up and brought her ax down on the soft underside of one of the beetles.

When she did, four yellow orbs fell from the beetle. Not letting curiosity get the better of her, she quickly killed her second and the last brown beetle. Eight of Daitaro's minions, one blue, one brown, and six reds, ran over and collected the life force as quickly as they could.

Daitaro quickly moved to the green and red beetles that saw him coming. He brought his ax down diagonally and managed to rip the armor off one of the wings. The beetle hissed in pain as it tried to fly up, but it was quickly met with a solid blow from its opponent in its soft underside. When it hit the ground, four green orbs fell onto the ground also.

The red beetle hissed as it reared back to strike Daitaro. He quickly slammed his ax next to his shin and blocked the beetle's attack. Before he could do anything, Kokoa had slammed her ax right in between the armor of the red beetle and smiled as four red orbs fell from the creature. Daitaro couldn't help but to admire how fast she was learning to fight these new foes.

"That's three each" she said with a smile as she pulled the battle ax out from the beetle's back.

The same eight minions rushed out to collect the freshly fallen life force for their master. "For you" they said as they presented the life force to Daitaro. The life force spun around him in a rainbow of colors before it vanished. Once the life force vanished the minions ran back to the group near the gate.

Daitaro and Kokoa looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds; 'we're tied, I need to fix that…'. They sprinted towards a green beetle each and hefted their axes down with everything they had. Each landing right between the armored wings and killed the beetles instantly. Four green orbs spun around Daitaro as he continued to run towards the remaining beetles. Kokoa didn't even notice the orbs that fell from the beetle she killed.

Two red beetles and the last green beetle flew into the air and hovered in place. Daitaro and Kokoa didn't waste time to slice through the soft underside of the insects. Kokoa smiled as she managed to get the middle beetle before Daitaro; she really wanted armor like Daitaro's. Daitaro was just thankful that Kokoa managed to kill the middle beetle when she did, otherwise they both would've been blasted with a poisonous liquid.

Two blue beetles crawled over to Kokoa and hissed as they reared back to try to bite her. She slammed her ax right between one's eyes and snapped the armor that connected its head to the rest of its body. Daitaro brought down his ax and severed the other beetle's head from its body. He couldn't let Kokoa get to the eight mark with him still one behind her; after all, armor isn't cheap to make.

The last red beetle crawled towards Daitaro, turned its back to him, and started to fly. Daitaro quickly tried to slice through the beetle to stop its attack, but the armor on its wings was too strong and with it flying his hits didn't do as much damage. He landed one solid hit and sent it flying into the wall of the arena only two seconds before a burst of fire was shot onto the ground. Daitaro threw his ax at the red beetle and landed it dead between its armored wings before it had a chance to press them against its poorly protected skin. The two remaining blue beetles saw what the red beetle had done and did it for themselves. They crawled towards Kokoa, turned their backs to her, and started to fly.

'Sire;' he heard Gnarl say quickly 'you must get your vampire friend away from the Dazzler beetles. Vampires don't do well with water.'

"Kokoa" he shouted as he ran quickly over to her.

The two beetles sprayed water downwards as Daitaro jumped and knocked Kokoa down out of most of the blast. However it was too late; Kokoa screamed in pain as the water shocked her. The minions quickly charged to the two beetles and started to attack them. Daitaro had no idea what to do as Kokoa continued to scream in pain.

'Sire; you must dry her off. Take her wet shirt off, have a red dry it.'

Daitaro used his gauntlet to slice Kokoa's shirt open and pulled it off her. He saw an odd piece of underclothing around her raised breast. He knew that females naturally had fat that developed on their chests, but had no idea what the article of clothing was for; right now he really didn't care though.

One of the reds was already running to aid him. He threw the shirt to the red minion; the minion was careful not to further ruin the shirt. After a few short seconds the shirt was not only dry, but very warm as it handed the shirt back to Daitaro. He quickly wiped the rest of the water off Kokoa and threw the shirt back to the red.

'She looks weak sire; she needs to feed on blood to restore her strength.'

He used his gauntlet to make a small cut in his wrist and then lifted Kokoa's head up to the blood that was seeping from the self inflected wound. When she smelled the blood she instinctively put her lips to the source and started to drink. She was amazed by the taste; rich in iron, a taste that she could swear was power its self and a sweet but bitter after taste.

The red draped her ruined shirt over her once it was sure all the water was gone. Daitaro noticed that it was staring at the article of clothing, or was curious about what was under it. He bitch slapped the minion as it tried to reach for where it had saw the clothing.

Daitaro carefully picked Kokoa up as she finished drinking his blood and passed out. He cursed himself for being so ignorant and not checking to see if she was weak against anything. All he could do now was get Mortis to make sure she was ok; Mortis, being the oldest blue minion, wouldn't try anything that'd get him killed.

Moka rushed out of the door that led to the stands and over to Daitaro. The look on her face showed she had many mixed emotions. Anger, sadness, sympathy, and others that could end up with Daitaro getting his ass kicked.

"You let her fight against something that sprays water" Moka snapped at him.

'And the nagging begins' he thought.

"I thought you knew about vampires' weakness to water," continuing the rant.

Daitaro tuned her out as he walked up the stairs to the throne room and up a second flight of stairs to a second level. He never would've thought that he'd have to listen to a ranting, nagging sister. Then again, he never would've thought that his first friend, outside of the minions, would be a vampire; or a girl.

"Gnarl" he shouted as he walked down a large hall with five columns on each side and marble walk way much like in the throne room "Get Mortis to my chambers so he can make sure Shuzen-san will be ok."

"Of course; Sire" as the old minion walked out of a secret room near the stairs and headed down to get Mortis.

"Are you even listening?" Moka demanded to know.

"I tuned you out after you said something about weakness to water" walking into a twelve by twelve room with two couches and a small red wood table between them. "What's her favorite color?"

"What?" confused.

"Her clothes are ruined because of the fight" as he pushed open a second set of doors with his back "I'm at least going to get her a robe to walk around in until morning."

"Red."

Daitaro gently placed Kokoa on a California queen sized bed and carefully pulled the covers over her. He cautiously reached under the covers and pulled out the ruined shirt. Now he had a color reference for the robe he was going to get for her.

"Need healed again" a watery voice said "already? Master can't be that angry with someone, at least not yet."

"Not me, Mortis" as he moved aside for him "for Shuzen-san."

"Large heart" the minion said as he walked over to the side of the bed "evil and gentle; good mix" as his hands glowed blue and he rested them on Kokoa's forehead "gentle when want to be; evil rest of time. You make great Dark Lord."

Moka was confused when she heard this; Dark Lord, large heart, evil and gentle…

"You can stay the night here with your sister if you want" as he sat down in a chair on the far end of the chamber "just don't start nagging again." Moka nodded, agreeing to the conditions of her stay. "I really don't care and all;" looking out the doors "but if I'm not mistaken, you and the other four girls were fighting over the Tsukune guy. Where are the other four?" Moka's eyes widened as she ran out the doors and down the stairs. "Now I can have some quiet time" as he rested his head on the top of the chair.

"She fine Master" Mortis said as he walked over to him "just drained and tired. She need rest," looking at the tired face of his master "so do you."

Mortis walked out the chamber and headed to the stairs. Daitaro couldn't agree more; if this was just the first day of the next four years at the academy, he's gonna need a very good anger management councilor. Otherwise the body count at the academy would never stop growing after he killed the Safety Committee asshole.

"I want to pass out" he complained to himself "but I need to get those lunatics out of my tower. Plus I need to get Kokoa a robe" as he got up.

He walked to the first doors on the way out of his chamber and closed them. He heard the scrapping of a minions claws coming up the hall. A smile grew across his face when he saw it was Tombstone bringing two battle axes to him; one was being carried by five browns and they were having issues getting it to move.

"Master's and Mistress' weapons" as he set the battle axes on the ground in front of him.

"She's not my mistress" as he picked up Kokoa's battle ax. To his surprise it was extremely heavy for its size. "Kuo" he said to it "you can return to normal if you wish."

"Hai" as the bat returned to its original shape "WHERE'S KOKOA-SAMA?" looking at the human in front of him.

"Sleeping" with a sad tone as he reopened the doors to his chamber "you can see for yourself if you want." The bat didn't waste time as it flew into the room and found a good roosting spot on the corner of the bed. "Tombstone" looking at the minion "I want you to stand outside my chamber and make sure absolutely no one enters other than myself."

"Yes Master" as he walked outside of the second door and stood in place.

Daitaro closed the chamber doors as he walked out and headed down the hall to the stairs. When he got down to the throne room, he was about to die laughing. Tsukune was stuck between four of the five girls, being drawn and almost quartered. Ruby just sat quietly mumbling something to herself.

"It's not that I don't like you" he paused for a second "wait I don't like any of you. But you need to get out of my Tower, except Shuzen-san's sister."

The large chested succubus and the snow woman smiled in a creepy way. It almost worried him; 'I almost feel sorry for the weakling' he thought to himself as he walked over to the portal.

"Yokai Academy" he said as he raised his gauntlet.

An image of the bus stop appeared in the strange liquid portal. Ruby and Yukari stared in amazement; they were still trying to figure out how Daitaro had made fire balls without an incantation or magical item. Kurumu and Mizore were still trying to pull Tsukune from Moka.

"Gnarl" he said to the old minion that was standing by the portal "if Shuzen-san wakes up before I get back, see to it that if any minions harass her; they get put in the dungeon with a water snake."

"My, my; sire" with a smile "you're being a bit over protective."

Daitaro didn't say anything as he grabbed Tsukune and threw him into the liquid portal. Just as expected, the girls jumped in after him. He laughed; "now I know how to get these lunatics out of the tower when I don't feel like explaining a reason to them."

Gnarl snickered; he thought it was just as funny as his master had seen it. "The poor fool has no idea how lucky he has it" watching his master step into the liquid.

At the bus stop:

Daitaro fazed into view as Kurumu and Mizore swung at him with their nails and ice claws. Daitaro ducked down and swept their feet out from under them. It was pitiful how easily he avoided the attack, especially when they had the advantage of a sneak attack. He quickly scanned the rest of the area; Ruby, and Yukari were trying to pull Moka off Tsukune's neck so they could see how bad the knot on his head was.

"Pathetic" as he walked towards the school "all five of you fighting over one guy that can break like a twig. If I was a passerby, I'd swear you five were dogs fighting over a t-bone steak."

Everyone stopped what they were doing; Daitaro was different than when he was at the tower. Darker, more straight forward, and didn't care about sounding like an ass. Yukari and Ruby felt dark energy coming from Daitaro as he walked past them, something didn't set right; his eyes were glowing yellow.

"You've never been in love before, have you?" Kurumu said angrily.

"This is my first day having left the Tower" looking back at her "and to be honest; I'm greatly disappointed at what this dimension holds so far."

"What's gotten into you?" Mizore asked him as she froze his feet.

"He's gentle when he chooses to be" Moka said "but evil any other time."

Daitaro shifted his feet slightly and broke free from Mizore's ice. If he continued to speak openly, he'd probably end up fighting all five girls at once. Being evil was one thing, but he wasn't a wench bane, yet.

"What would you five do if he suddenly left to the school for another girl?" looking at them with a gentle face and matching tone "or if he were to die from a heart attack, or a disease? You would have spent so much time trying to pry him away from the others that you wouldn't be able to move on. I hate to say this, but grow up" as he continued to the school.

'That played better in my head. Now I can't ask them for directions to a, what are they called?'

'Shopping mall; Sire' Gnarl told him 'and I agree with you; while it was well spoken, you could've sounded less like an ass to the ladies.'

"So, the Overlord has returned" he heard as he smelled smoke "I thought they couldn't return to this dimension anymore."

"I don't suppose you can take me to a shopping mall?" looking at the weird guy with white glowing eyes and dressed in a driver outfit.

"Indeed I can" as he walked to a bus that was parked behind a group of trees.

Daitaro followed the creepy driver onto the bus and took a seat. The bus doors hissed as they closed and the engine rumbled as it rolled forward. Daitaro wasn't in a mood for talking; he was more in the mood for sleeping or killing something, again.

Daitaro's eyes stopped glowing yellow as the bus entered an inter-dimensional worm hole. He watched the odd purple fog around the bus pass by. Looking at his gauntlet he remembered when Gnarl told him about when the Overlord ruled not just the dimension that held Spree, but also the one he was in right now. The Dark Ruler of humans and monsters alike. Although it was a time when evil controlled the land, it was far more peaceful than it is today.

"Don't suppose you can help me understand this dimension" looking at the driver.

The driver smiled with a chuckle; "I can."

"This is going to be a long night" he sighed as the end of the tunnel came into view.

Later that day:

Daitaro had found a silk robe for Kokoa, and was walking back to the portal to go to the Tower. He wanted to kill the cashier for trying to tease him for picking up a woman's robe. But he settled for punching the guy in the face.

He wasn't surprised to see that Moka was waiting for him at the portal. He was however surprised to see the rest of the girls. They were talking; something was bound to happen. What only further made this feeling worse was the fact that they each had a bag with them.

If he had known that all the girls were going to be at the portal; he would've waited till the dead of night before approaching it. He could've used the cover of darkness to slip past them and onto the rune. It was too late to try to hide; at least two of the girls saw him coming. He had no choice but to continue his approach.

"Before anyone of you try to take a swing at me, again" looking at Kurumu and Mizore in particular "I want to say I'm sorry. You were right," looking at Moka "I was ignorant when I fought alongside Shuzen-san. I'm sorry I threw Aono-san through the portal and knocked him out" trying not to even look like he was holding in a laugh "and I'm sorry I sounded like an asshole earlier."

"You were right" Ruby said "we were acting like children."

"We talked with Tsukune-kun and decided that we'd spend the weekend away from him so he could think about which one of us he wants;" Yukari said "but it's obvious he's going to pick Moka-chan and I."

"Chan? Kun?" with a confused look "what the hell?"

"That's what you call someone that you love or have feelings for" Kurumu said.

"You know about Japanese customs but you don't know about informal greetings here?" Mizore asked as she popped out from behind the scarecrow.

"Long story" as he stepped onto the pad "quick question before Akashiya-san and I go back to the tower; why do all of you have a bag that looks like it holds three days worth of clothing?"

"Remember when we said we'd spend the weekend away from Tsukune-kun" Yukari said tapping her foot on the ground "well, we already got permission to go off campus for the weekend from the head master, thanks to Ruby-chan."

"And where were you planning on staying?" knowing he wasn't going to like the answer.

"We were hoping" Kurumu said hesitantly.

"Your tower" Mizore said from behind the scarecrow.

Daitaro fell to the ground; he knew he wasn't going to like the answer. He could feel the headache medicine supplies decrease already. If putting up with these girls for a year worked for Tsukune to get lucky enough for them to give him the weekend to pick one of them; he would've traded with the weakling last year.

"I guess I need to learn more about your culture" as he slowly picked himself up off the ground "and Gnarl did ask you to teach me magic" looking at Yukari "and if you're an older witch, then I guess the extra help wouldn't be bad." He looked at Kurumu and Mizore; "as long as you two don't try to ambush me again."

The two nodded in agreement. He had personally invited Moka to stay to watch her sister; not that she would need to be protected from anything at the tower. Gnarl was never going to let this one go; six girls in the Tower at the same time, and this time without the whelp that five were fighting over.

"Dark Tower" he whispered as everyone got onto the rune. "Any problems while I was gone Gnarl?" as he stepped out of the liquid.

"No Sire…" looking at the five girls behind Daitaro "May I speak with you in private; Sire?" Daitaro walked over to Gnarl and they walked to the throne. "I understand looking for a Mistress" in his usual tone "but six in the Tower at once is pushing it."

"What do you mean?" looking back at the five girls "and I'm not looking for a Mistress. They're giving that whelp they were fighting over the weekend to think about which one he wants. I invited Kokoa's sister to stay, you asked the little witch to teach me magic, the older looking girl is a witch and can help, and the other two can help me understand their culture so I can better fit in."

"I don't mean to interrupt" they heard Kurumu say "but do you have a place I can put my feminine hygiene products?"

"You've doomed us all Sire" looking at Daitaro.

"What do you mean?" confused.

"Women go through a week long cycle once a month" as fear seemed to grow in his eyes "very soon you won't be the most evil thing to walk these halls; My Lord."

"It can't be that bad" with a laugh.

"DID YOU LEARN NOTHING WHILE IN THE LIBRARY; SIRE" trying to keep his voice down but still loud enough to get a point across.

"I fell asleep when you made me study that stuff" scratching the back of his head.

Gnarl fell to the ground; the boy he was raising to be knowledgeable about almost everything, had fallen asleep on one of the most crucial things to know.

"For your sake, Sire," as he got back up "I hope you know what you're doing."
