AzuDisgaea Chapter 4 - Miscalculations and Deception

Mayaa yawned as he rose from the base panel, clearly haven awakened from a nap, he looked around briefly and turned to Osaka, "Osaka-san…where's mama? Did something happen to her?"

"Ah! Sakaki-san had to stay back as part of a rescue team in case we got into trouble. Sorry. But we need you right now to help us fight."

"Mayaa looked toward the two older Manticores, seeing them his eyes widened. Not with fear, but with excitement. "These two are mine. I'll handle them on my own." His wild instincts already beginning to build, "I just need a quick boost!"

"Alright, gather around and I'll boost ya!"

"Domination!"

A surge of power filled the three monsters and Mayaa lunged at the enemy.

"Mayaa, wait!" Mr. Tadakichi tried to call out to him, and then sighed, "Kids today…he needs help if he's going to win this." With that he charged the enemy as well.

Osaka then motioned to Piggy-chan and smiled, "And you're with me, as always!" Piggy-chan was incapable of speech, but could clearly understand what was told to him, and gave a squeal of happiness.

The plan was simple: Nyamo would take care of the Dragon, Mayaa had the two Manticores alongside Mr. Tadakichi, Tomo, Kagura, and Yomi would take care of the Orcs, and Osaka would confront Motoko head on with Piggy-chan assisting her. A pretty solid plan, until an unexpected mishap occurred, as the Baciel demon rose once again from the other base panel, fully recovered, "Damn," Kagura was a little upset, "why don't they ever stay down! Sorry guys, but I'm going to have to finish what I started." And she ran off to finish the demon.

She got within fighting distance "I really don't want to do this, but I may have to destroy you to keep you from coming back again." She entered her stance to fire a second Energy Pulse, only to have it fizzle out she suddenly realized something, "I'm out of power…" it had been a while since they were at the Netherworld Hospital, and healing items could often be in short supply, not to mention they were broke. Restoring magical energy wasn't so simple as to come back after sleeping, though it did provide some gradual recovery. She clenched her spear tightly and looked toward the demon, "I hope I can do this…there's no way those two can handle six enemies alone…"

Tomo and Yomi stood speechless, Kagura had abandoned them. Well, not quite, with another powerful enemy, Kagura's sheer physical power was necessary, even if it meant they had to hold out a little longer. "Oh well, they're just Orcs anyway, tough and stupid! Come on, Yomi! We can do this!"

"But we're outnumbered 3 to 1 and their levels match ours, plus we can't let them get too close, or we'll have trouble."

"So then is Yomi afraid of a few Orcs? Then I guess I'll just have to protect you! Yep, don't worry; I've got your back until I die!"

"And yet that makes me feel less safe, look, just focus on the battle, they're coming for us." Yomi drew back her bow "Arrow Change! Sonic Shockwave!" she launched it at the advancing Orcs, this actually did little to damage them, only making them angry, "Oh no…I actually messed up, my calculations were off. They've got me beat by about five levels…"

"You could've figured that out sooner! They're getting closer, and I'm sapped for power, I'm surprised you could even pull off an Arrow Change!"

"For the record, I carry a Holy Orb to beep my magic up, so I can properly heal you when you do something idiotic. Now can we forget this already? My bow's no good at close range, but I think my Braveheart spells are still in effect, looks like it's hand-to-hand for me." Yomi was actually decent at fighting with her fists, and had actually formed two unique skills, her Double Chop, and a technique perfected on Tomo known as the Burst Uppercut.

"I can maybe get one or two and still have enough power for healing." She thought to herself. Yomi rushed at the advancing crowd of enemies as Tomo provided covering fire with her gun, she approached one enemy and drew her hand back, clenched it into a fist and smashed it into what was most likely the Orc's chin. She shot him into the air, fist still connected to the target, and at the very height of the attack a large explosion was released from her fist. He was launched skyward and landed back on the ground unconscious.

But with a single enemy defeated they still found themselves overwhelmed, they were fighting a losing battle, and they needed help.

Kagura caught a glimpse of what was going on, both Tomo and Yomi were in serious danger. She was caught up with her own opponent, but she realized she really should've found another way. She felt terrible; she had barely been on this team for very long and had already screwed up. "No! I can't let this happen! I've got to end this now!"With that her spear began to glow an intense red color, its power skyrocketing, she jammed it straight through the chest of the Baciel, it was dead, but it didn't matter, she needed to set things right.

"Dammit! Yomi…I think this is the end. And we haven't reached the main target yet." The duo were making no progress against the remaining Orcs, all not only of higher level, but also well equipped. "Not yet, they're making one final advance, we have to make a stand here or it's over. We have to keep going! It isn't normal for you to give up this easily!"

Tomo looked up for a moment, "Yomi! You're right! Actually, look at their formation!" They were in a close knit cross shape, "Wait. My attacks are usually spread out. How does that help? And all of your stuff only hits a single target, well, at least any of your gun skills."

"Not quite, I may have just enough power for my new move!"

"What? You don't mean…?"

"No time to talk!" Tomo leapt into the air, her gun pointed at the enemies, "Totenkreuz!" she shouted, launching a massive burst of energy from her gun, incinerating the Orcs. "Hm, taking the enemy alive is getting tougher and tougher these days…"

"Wow! I didn't think you had it in you!" Kagura showed up shortly after, "Maybe you're not such an idiot." She saw the whole thing as she ran to help, realizing she wasn't needed.

"What did you say!? This coming from the Warrior whose body is made of nothing but muscle and boobs!"

"You're one to talk! The only reason you're so light on your feet is because of the empty space where your brain should be!"

"Alright, enough you two, I need to get us all healed. This battle is far from over."

Nyamo's power was more than enough to take out the Dragon she was battling. Not only had she overpowered it, but Motoko was preoccupied with fighting Osaka, and could not give out orders easily. Mayaa was having a little trouble handling older members of his species. "You are a mere child! No matter how powerful you are, you'd need another century of training to even approach our level!"

"I'm just getting started! Tadakichi! Twin-battle Mode!" Mayaa hopped on Mr. Tadakichi's back and they took to the sky "What are they doing?" the one Manticore spoke up. "Never mind that," said the other, "We must pursue them!"

"Here they come, Tadakichi-sensei!"

"Alright Mayaa, you know what to do!" Mr. Tadakichi immediately turned around causing the other two Manticores to immediately stop with surprise. Mayaa extended his claws and jumped toward the enemy and then suddenly disappeared. Afterward all they could see was a flurry of black and brown from all directions, "What I lose in power I more than make up for in speed!" Finally Mayaa stopped attacking, landed back on Mr. Tadakichi's back, who drew back his head and released a burst of energy to finish their opponents. The pair returned to the ground and focused on the main battle at hand.

"I didn't expect you to do so well Ayumu!" Osaka had fought well, but things didn't look too good for her, she could barely move and had been disarmed, Piggy-chan didn't look to well off either "You were never the best fighter back when we were training. You couldn't even lift a sword, let alone an axe! But either way, it looks like I win this one, and how fitting for you to be finished by your own…huh?" Motoko couldn't lift it, no matter how much she tried, it wouldn't budge.

"I always wondered about that thing, no one else can lift it 'cept me. I figured spirits lived in the weapon and they just liked me or somethin'. We all got special weapons, but only mine can't be lifted by anyone else." Osaka was now right by Motoko, rambling about her axe, unfazed by her injuries. "Now Piggy-chan!" Piggy-chan leapt from the ground and jumped at Motoko, smacking her with his mace, sending her flying into a pillar behind her.

Motoko could now barely move, she wasn't expecting that, "Deception…I didn't think a half-breed like you had it in you…" Kagura stared questioningly at Osaka "Half-breed?"She thought to herself. Motoko continued, "You may have beaten me, but you're still no match for Lord Akira. He plans to become the next Overlord, but unlike everyone else, he has an advantage."

"You mean his Exodus? We already know about that." Tomo replied. "No, no, he happens to have one of the Dark Assembly senators as his hostage, and he intends to use her influence to achieve his goal. The Exodus was just luck I guess; I hadn't figured Legendary Senator Chihiro to have such a powerful trinket." With that she'd used up too much energy and fell unconscious.

Nyamo thought to herself for a moment, "Wait…Senator Chihiro…Kaorin, did you know about this?"

"Well, yeah…that's one of the reasons I came for your help."

"Why didn't you tell us? Did you think all we cared about was the money?"

"I didn't think you'd have helped! You guys barely know her; most demons don't go risking their lives for people they don't know!"

"Shouldn't you know by now that we're not like most demons?"

Kaorin paused for a moment, then looked down and sighed, "You're right, I should've told you the full story. But one thing, before we go in…" Kaorin took a pouch she had tied to her sash and opened it, revealing several vials containing a green liquid, "I brought a few vials of Soma, in case we needed healing, we should each drink one just to keep ourselves in top condition. I figure if I can't fight I can at least be useful in providing supplies."

Each girl drank down a vial Soma was a foul concoction, but it did provide incredible healing of wounds, stamina, and magical energy. Tomo stood facing the door to the mansion, "Alright team! Let's go!"

They entered a grand hall, everything was a silvery white color, and pillars lined the sides. From the door came a long red carpet leading up to a grand staircase, Akira stood atop the staircase, but he was not alone, "Well, well, you were right Kamineko, I do have a few rats scurrying about my house." Mayaa's eyes widened with rage, "Kamineko you bastard! Why are you here?!"

"Hehehe, foolish child," Kamineko grinned, revealing all his teeth, "Akira here has promised me control of the Dark Assembly when he becomes Overlord, and we all know that's where the real power lies. Of course, it's also because I heard you were on your way here, and it was the perfect opportunity to exact my revenge! Not just on you, but also that annoying woman you cling to."

"Revenge? For what? Me scaring the crap out of you and all your little minions? Don't think that it's my fault that those idiots are so afraid of me! This is the kind of power you get growing up in the harsh wilds."

"Harsh wilds? Maybe in the past, but you're nothing more than a pampered pet now!"

"Arrgh! I'm so bored! Can we quit with the plot exposition and fight already?!" It never fails, Tomo was always first to break the mood.

"You little mice won't land a single attack, why even bother?" Akira was arrogant, he felt he couldn't be defeated, "You fools will die here! Petty nuisances who could barely defeat my pets!"

Suddenly Yomi spoke up, "Oh yeah, I'm getting a massive reading from that Exodus, but barely anything from him, it's actually about level 200, through some kind of special means."

"I knew it! You are a cheater! And I'm going to rip that emblem right from your neck!"

"If you can even catch me! Let's go Kamineko!"

AN: Ok, yes Mayaa and Tadakichi both talk, some monsters in Disgaea have speaking roles, so I figured, what the heck?
