A/N: Okay before I start, let me tell you something... This fic needs more reviews. I'd like to thank parody 'r' s for reviewing for about 3 times already, at least he supports my story.

Aster: OverlordMao, could you please get this over with and continue where we left off?

Me: Fine but let me do the disclaimers.

Disclaimer: This story is completely OC inhabited, no Disgaea casts in sight except for the Prinnies. I think I'll plan to make some cameo appearance for the casts.

Laharl: You better! I'm expecting my appearance for this pointless story!

Me: +shot Laharl in the leg with a shotgun+

Laharl: Ow! Dammit!

Me: Don't test me...

Emil: OverlordMao never owns Disgaea or Nippon Ichi except us.

Me: Yep.


Chapter 4: A Town Full of Bandits


Reimi, Emil, and the newly recruited Aster continued to journey to the Overlord's castle. After a couple of minutes of walking down the road, Aster finally spoke up. "Are you sure about where you two going? It looks like we're just wandering aimlessly." He asked.

"Don't worry we know where we are going! We just trust our instincts!" Reimi happily replied.

"Yeah that or we're finding our first rest stop after our first fight with a demon." Emil said as he keeping his eye on the map he's holding.

Aster paused for a bit, and closed his eyes. "I'm very unsure about your instincts...I could tell that your instincts could get yourselves killed..." He said.

"Aw don't be such a complete stick-in-a-mud Aster, you know nothing will stop me until I reach my goals, I'm a destined hero like in the video games!" Reimi said with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Yeah that's Reimi alright, she's willing to do the impossible." Emil said.

Aster sighed. "Anyways where are you going to rest?" He asked.

"Well according to the map, there's a town called Nesenta nearby here, and lucky for us, it's close to Lorre about a few miles from now." Emil replied.

"Hey, I can see Nesenta from here!" Reimi excitedly said as she see a small town not to far away from them. "Come on you slowpokes, I'll race you there! The loser has to pay our rent to an inn we're staying okay? Go!" She shouted as she make a head start dashing towards Nesenta.

"Huh? Hey wait for me Reimi!" Emil shouted and ran.

"*sigh*She's sure is a hyperactive one." Aster said as he casually walks to the town.


Reimi run her way to the town entrance and stopped. "Yeah I win! Whoo-hoo!" She exclaimed. After a short moment of cheering herself for her victory, she decided to wait for Emil and Aster to catch up.

Emil finally caught up with her, panting heavily as he tries to catch his breath. "*pant*Reimi...*pant**pant*You know I...*pant*can't...*pant*run fast you know...*pant**pant*"

"Hey at least you made it in second place, I bet that slowpoke Aster can't keep up with you!" Reimi said happily.

Aster walks in and meet up with Reimi and Emil. "There you are! You have to pay our rents to our rooms we're staying!" Reimi said.

"Hmph, I never intended to play your childish games." Aster huffed. Reimi stuck her tongue at him.

Emil look up at the sky and see's the sky has an red-orange color. "It's getting late Reimi, let's go find an inn to stay for the night." Emil said.

"Oh, alright... I'm not even tired yet." Reimi said.

"Maybe it's because of your hyperactive tendency that keeps you awake." Aster whispered to himself.

"What was that Aster? I think you were talking about me." Reimi asked.

"It's nothing, let's just go find an inn to sleep." Aster said.

Reimi and Emil both nodded their heads and started walking to town. The town, Nesenta, was bustling with townspeople turned demons roaming around the streets. Some of them still retaining their humanity continues to resume their daily lives.

"Wow so many demons..." Emil said.

"Indeed, but you need to learn to get used to seeing them when you're living in a cursed world." Aster said.

"Yeah, you're maybe right." Emil said.

They continue to walk until they stop by an inn. As they enter inside, a humanoid looking demon greeted them.

"Hi there, welcome to Somno Inn*. I'm Julie, the innkeeper here." She said.

A/N: Somno means sleep in Latin.

"That's a...unique name for an inn." Emil said.

"Thanks, this inn has been around ever since my grandparents started running it to business!" Julie happily said. "Now then, I'd reckon that you three need a room?"

"Actually those two need a room to sleep. I'm here to pay their rent." Aster said.

"Wait where are you going to sleep Aster?" Emil asked.

"I prefer to sleep outside." Aster replied.

"Ah, you're an outdoor sleeper I see, I understand, but be careful about the demons roaming around at night!" Julie said.

"I will." Aster said as he pay her the money for Reimi and Emil's room and exit the inn.

"Hey Reimi? Do you think Aster will be okay sleeping outside?" Emil asked.

Reimi smiled. "He'll be fine, we did see him take out that scary demon back there." she happily replied.

"Yeah you may be right." Emil said. "Well goodnight Reimi."

"Goodnight Emil." Reimi said as she and Emil went to their separate room and went to sleep.

Meanwhile outside the inn, Aster sits down on the rooftop and watches a variety demons roaming around Nesenta.

"...They may be demons now, but they continue to resume their normal lives as if it that incident never happen..." Aster said to himself. As he thought about it for a second. continues to watch the roaming demons. "I will stop Xenoheim before he destroys Sylvenia." He said before he decided to call it a day and went to sleep.


The next morning, Reimi lazlily wakes up and stretches her arm. "Man that was a good sleep...I slept like a log." She lazily said before she let out a small yawn. She then walks towards the mirror and fix her bed head. As she take a look on herself on the mirror, she smiled, knowing that today will be a good day. She pick up her detached blade-bow and put them on her sides as she headed out.

As she closed the door to her room, she turn around and see Emil coming out. "Oh, morning Reimi did you get a good night sleep?" He asked.

"Yep sure did! I never had that much sleep than my usual bed at Lorre!" Reimi replied happily.

"Ah morning you two. Did you get a good rest?" Julie asked.

"Yes we did." Emil replied.

"This inn's room is so comfy!" Reimi said.

"Haha, glad to hear that!" Julie said.

Aster enters the inn. "So you two are awake." Aster said. "Let's go, we're not wasting anymore time."

"Hmm I don't know Aster... I want to take a tour to Nesenta. I never went there before." Reimi said.

"Yeah I agree with Reimi, I want to look around before we leave." Emil said.

Aster sighed. "Alright fine, but after you're done, we leaving this town immediately." He said as he walk away.

Reimi pouted. "Sheesh what's his problem?" She said.

"I don't know, it's like he wants to leave town now." Emil said. "Maybe he wants to defeat Xenoheim soon."

"Pfft, he's rushing a bit. We're just going for a simple tour around the town, it's not like Xenoheim just destroy the whole world with a snap of his fingers or anything does he?" Reimi sarcastically said.

"Well...not really." Emil simply said.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go take a walk around the town then!" Reimi happily said.

"Okay!" Emil replied.

Reimi and Emil leave the inn and head out to town. "Bye! Hope you come again soon!" Julie said as the door closes.

Reimi and Emil walk around and tour Nesenta in every area. As they walked, they mingled with other demons with Reimi happily look at them in awe, especially the young demon children. Emil simply just watched. They walk everywhere from town square, to marketplace, with Emil tripping unintentially as Reimi laughed at him. As they walk, Reimi see's a humanoid Archer demon girl standing near a cart of merchandise.

"Ooh I never seen this shop before!" Reimi said as she walks to the cart with Emil following her.

"Hi there welcome to Rosenqueen Underworld Branch! How can I help you?" The merchant said sweetly.

"Rosenqueen? What's that?" Emil asked.

"You don't know? Well then let me explain this to you. Rosenqueen is a series of shops that is located throughout the Netherworld and it is really famous. Everytime you buy our product, your customer rank gets promoted by another rank. The higher the rank you are, the more new stuff you'll buy! Your current customer rank is 1." The merchant explained.

"Ooh cool!" Reimi exclaimed with stars in her eyes. "I want to buy something!"

"Well then, have a look around then. Browse as many as you like!" The merchant happily said.

Reimi take a good look on the cart. It has a wide variety of weapons, armors, food, etc. "Wow so many stuff... Hey Emil, what are you going to get?" Reimi asked.

"I don't know, they look so pricey..." Emil said.

As Reimi look around, she took her eye on a necklace on the cart. "Ooh this looks nice, I'll take it!" She said.

"Okay that will be 5000HL please." The merchant said sweetly.

"F-f-f-f-five thousand HLs? That's a bit too much!" Emil shouted.

"Sorry, that's the price. Either you buy it or not. And don't try to convince me to lower the price, it won't work on me." The merchant said.

Emil sweatdropped. "That's ridiculous... Come on Reimi, let's just go meet Aster, he's probably waiting for us at the square." He disappointally said.

"Fine...but I will get that necklace once I had enough HL to afford it!" Reimi said as she and Emil walk away.

"Thank you for shopping at Rosenqueen, come again soon!" The merchant happily said while waving at them.

Reimi and Emil walk to the square and see's Aster waiting patiently at the fountain. "Hm? Are you done touring?" Aster asked.

"Yep! We've seen all around Nesenta we're ready to set off!" Reimi happily replied.

"Hm, alright then let's go." Aster said.

As they walks to the town entrance...

"Run! It's the Black Skull Gang!" A townsperson said.

"I don't want to die!" Another said.

Reimi, Aster, and Emil watched the townspeople run back to their houses in terror upon hearing the name "The Black Skull Gang".

"What the heck was that about?" Reimi asked.

"I dunno, but something bad's coming..." Emil said.

"...Ready your weapons, I don't think we're leaving here without a fight." Aster said as he draws his katana.

"Sweet some action!" Reimi happily said.

Suddenly a group of demons, both humanoid and monster attacks the town, trashing the town as they go.

"Yeah that's right baby, fear the Black Skull Gang!" One of the Black Skull Gang members said.

"Man this place never gets tired of it's trashing, and it never will be!" Said the other.

"Har har how 'bout we pillage this dump and take all of it's junk and sell it for money?" A slightly fat demon suggested.

"Hey that's not a bad idea Moe, I like that idea!" One of the demon, wearing and eyepatch and has a scar on the left side of his face, implied to be the head of the gang. "And we kill the people here while we're at it!"

The gang of demons agreed to that idea as Reimi, Emil, and Aster watched them. "This is bad...they're going to kill innocent people!" Emil said, feeling a bit scared.

"Hmph, it goes to show that the curse corrupted their pitiful minds." Aster said.

Reimi, not happy about hearing this, walks towards them. "Hey! You can't just walk in here and kill innocent people!" She shouted.

"Wha? Reimi what are you doing? Your going to get yourself killed!" Emil exclaimed.

"Idiot..." Aster said while he held the bridge of his nose.

"Huh? Who the 'ell are you three?" The leader said.

"My name is Reimi Satoshi and I'm the one who's going to kick you guys asses and save this town from you!" Reimi shouted.

The Black Skull Gang went silent for a moment and eventually broke out laughing. "Hahahahahaha! You? Going to kick our asses? You must me stupider than you thought!" The leader exclaimed.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Reimi said.

"Listen and get this to your dense little head girlie. We're the Black Skull Gang! We are infamous for destroying villages and towns wherever we go!" The eyepatch wearing leader shouted.

"Yeah! Anyone gettin in our way will be slaughtered mercilessly!" A skinny looking buck-tooth demon followed.

"Yeah!" Said the fat demon, named Moe.

"Really now, was that supposed to scare me? I'm still going to save this town and no gang of dirty looking bandits is going to stop me!" Reimi proudly said.

"Reimi this is suicide..." Emil said.

"Really now? Oh well your funeral then, Moe kill her!" The leader said.

"Right away Boss*!" Moe said as he cracked his knuckles.

A/N: Ironically the leader of the Black Skull Gang's name is Boss.

Moe charged at her and readies to pummel her but Reimi jumped out of the way and land a hard kick on Moes head, knocking him down.

"Ha! How's that?" Reimi proudly said.

Moe got back up and punched her, but Reimi swiftly dodges his punch. Moe tried punching and punching again but Reimi keep on evading his blows, and then knocks him back with an somersault kick.

"Whaat? It's that the best you got? Come on lay it on me!" She taunted.

"Grr now I'm angry! Take this!" Moe furiously said as he slammed his fist down, causing a minor quake and earth spears rises up towards Reimi.

"Reimi watch out!" Emil said.

Reimi jumped up and she attaches her dual blades into a bow, draws an arrow, and fire rapidly at the angered demon. Moe, seeing the barrage of arrows, move back at bit, avoiding arrows but has his face stepped on by Reimi as she lands and she dealt a powerful kick to his lower jaw, knocking him back and rendering him unconscious.

"There, one down!" Reimi said.

"What the? How did that girl finish off Moe like that? No one ever defeated him before!" One of the gang members said, slightly terrified.

"Damn, Moe was my strong man..." Boss said as a bead of sweat slide down on his face. "Slim! Bowman! Take her out!" He commanded.

"Aye aye boss!" The skinny buck-teethed demon, Slim said as he brandishes his knife.

"Let us take care of 'er." A demon wearing sunglasses, Bowman said as he readies his crossbow.

"Hey, the more the merrier I say!" Reimi mocked.

"Reimi let me help you!" Emil said as he draws his sword.

"Hey thanks now we're evenly match!" Reimi said.

"Ha! What can a girl and a shrimp with a toy sword do?" Slim said mockingly.

"This will be a piece of cake." Bowman said.

"Hey Emil, I'll go for the dorky looking guy while you take care of the one with the crossbow." Reimi said. "And go!" And she run towards Slim.

"Wait Reimi! What am I supposed to do?" Emil asked. He suddenly froze in fear as Bowman was already behind him, aiming his crossbow at his head.

"If you wish to keep your head intact then I suggest you quietly surrender and I'll make your death fast and painless." Bowman calmly threatened.

Emil quickly ducked down and slide underneath Bowman before he fires and runs to a safe distance.

"You can't escape, I have you in my sight!" Bowman said as he fires his crossbow.

Emil quickly deflects the arrows Bowman fired at him and keep running.

Meanwhile, Slim see's Reimi charging towards him. "You're too slow you dumb girl!" He said as he thrust his knife at Reimi.

Reimi evaded to the right and land a kick flat on the buck-toothed demon in the face. "No, YOU'RE too slow!" She corrected.

"You bitch! I'm gonna make you regret messing with the Black Skull Gang!" Slim yelled as he got back up and charges straight towards Reimi.

Reimi jumps over him and kicked him in the back of his head hard and pinned him down with arrows.

"Argh not Slim too!" Boss groaned. "(Doesn't matter, they'll all be dead anyway, there's no way that they can stand against all of us!)" He thought.

"That doesn't look hard." She said. She then turned around and see's Emil blocking Bowman's attacks.

"Come on is that the best you got?" Bowman taunted. He then evaded Reimi's incoming arrows flying towards him. "Hmph, I'd reckoned that Slim's down. That poor bastard, having his ass handed to him by a mere girl.

"Come on bring it! I can do this all day!" Reimi taunted.

"Your funeral girl." Bowman said as he fired his crossbow at Reimi.

Reimi quickly avoided his arrows and charges towards him with her bow detached into daggers. She repeatedly swiped her daggers at Bowman as he evaded her attacks from left and right while stepping back and blocks her daggers with his crossbow.

"You're fast, predictable, but fast." Bowman said.

"Haha thanks!" Reimi said.

"But not fast enough!" Bowman said as he pushed her off and fires his crossbow at her.

Reimi jumped back and jump up, avoiding the arrows.

"Too slow!" Bowman said as he aims his crossbow at her. "You're wide open in the air!"

Emil seeing his chance, sneak up behind Bowman and hit's him hard on the flat side of his sword. Bowman stops aiming at her and holds his head, writhing in pain.

"Did I do it?" Emil said.

"You little snot! I'll make you pay for this!" Bowman angrily snapped at Emil.

"Aaah!" Emil screamed.

"Hey where're you looking?" Reimi shouted.

"What?" Reimi landed a hard drop kick on Bowman's head, knocking him face flat on the ground, rendering him unconscious.

"And that's how you distract the enemy." Reimi triumphly said with pride.

Boss was shaken by disbelief. "N-n-n-n-no way! They even took out Bowman! Argh that's it kill them all men!" He angrily commanded. But there was no answer. "Men? I said kill them all!" He commanded again. But again, there was no answer. "Grr what's wrong wit you people! There just two peo-" And in an instant his jaw dropped to the ground as he saw all the members of the Black Skull singlehandedly knocked out by Aster, who's aiming his pistol on his forehead.

"You were saying?" Aster said.

"H-h-how did you?" Boss stuttered.

"Now, if you value your life, I'd suggest you leave this place and never bother it again before I slice your every limbs off and feed you to the most feral demons known to Sylvenia." Aster threatened.

"A-alright! I'll leave I swear!" Boss shakenly said.

"Good, now get out you lowly demon, I don't want to see your face ever again." Aster said.

Boss slowly back away and make a mad dash towards the exit. "You bastards haven't seen the last of the Black Skull Gang!" He shouted before he disappear in the horizon.

"Yeah you better run! No one can beat me, Emil, and the awesome ninja Aster!" Reimi shouted and then stuck her tongue at Boss.

"Coward. He and his lackeys are not worth killing, human or not." Aster said as he put away his weapons.

The townspeople slowly come out of their houses and stores when they see the Black Skull henchmens unconscious on their feet.

"Oh my god... They saved us all!" A man said.

"We're free from the Black Skull Gang's reign of terror!" A nekomata said.

"Three cheers for the heroes!" Another man said.

The townspeople cheer for joy to Reimi, Aster, Emil when Julie shows up.

"Well I'll be a gosh darn sons of a gun, you guys finally put an end to the Black Skull Gang!" Julie happily said.

"Yep! We're heroes now!" Reimi happily said.

Emil gave off a small laugh.

Aster look at the unconscious bodies of the henchmen. "Would you like to explain how did they terrorize the town?"

"Sure, it all started ever since we got cursed by Overlord Xenoheim a few years ago, a group of bandits, known infamously as the Black Skull Gang attacked our town day and night, pillaging everything and massacring everyone they see. Their reign of terror lingers on until the day you guys showed up." Julie explained. "Now thanks to you guys, we can no longer live in fear now."

"Haha thanks!" Reimi said.

"Now then, how 'bout a little victory dinner for you heroes at Somno? It's all in the house!" Julie offered.

"Really? A victory dinner? Sweet this is getting better and better!" Reimi happily exclaimed.

"W-wow, I never expected that to happen." Emil said.

Reimi turned around to face Aster. "Pleeease can we stay for a little longer? Please please pleeeease!" She pleaded with twinkles in her eyes.

Aster sighed and gave in. "Alright fine, just for one more night." He said.

"All right! Let's go!" Reimi said.

After a several hours of eating at Somno, Reimi, Aster, and Emil were sitting peacefully, with Reimi and Emil chatting about how they're going to explain the event to their friends and family back at Lorre when Julie walk towards them.

"So, are you enjoying yourselves?" She asked.

"Yep! Right after we get a good night sleep here, we're leaving here early in the morning!" Reimi replied.

"Oh? And where might you be going?" Julie asked.

"We're off to defeat Overlord Xenoheim to lift the curse around Sylvenia!" Reimi happily replied.

"Ah, I see..." Julie said. "Well, after seeing you guys defeat the Black Skull Gang, I guess all I have to do is to have faith in you!" She said.

"Yeah, that's only our first step of becoming stronger. With Emil and the awesome ninja with me, we can achieve anything!" Reimi proudly said.

Emil sighed. "Oh Reimi..."

"You're exaggerating it fool..." Aster said. "And stop calling me that."

"Hahaha, it's good to see you eagerly motivated. Just don't get it through your head!" Julie said while giving off a small chuckle.

"I won't!" Reimi said smiling.

They continue to spend the night chatting away before they went to sleep.

The next day Reimi, Aster, and Emil are at the front of the town entrance with a group of townspeople including Julie saying farewell to them.

"Well this is good bye then, we're sure gonna miss you guys." Julie said. "Just make sure you write a letter to me or even come back to Somno Inn to pay me a visit!"

A young girl walk up to Reimi. "When I grow up, I want to be like you!" She said.

"Haha go for it then!" Reimi said as she give her an encouraging thumbs-up.

"I will!" The young girl said with a smile.

"Just don't inherit her personality." Aster said.

"Bye-bye!" A young boy said.

"Come back soon!" A woman said.

"Alright are we done? Let's go." Aster said.

"Bye everyone I'll make sure I'll write a letter for all of you!" Reimi shouted as she waved good-bye to the townspeople.

Reimi, Emil, and Aster finally departs from Nesenta and continue on with their journey to Xenoheim's castle.
