Whew, finally finished this chapter. -_- ' I wanted to finish this chapter waaaaaaaaaay sooner but got kinda sidetracked with work and my new shiny ps3 :P

I had quite the hard time with it, as I was trying to find the right way for Adell and Rozy to mingle with Marc and the siblings, hehe. I ended up writing an entire storyboard for every chapter to write out for myself what would be happening in future chapters.

Hopefully my efforts will be worth it ;) Anyways, please enjoy the new chapter~

Chapter 1: The Overlord's Daughter; Of Snoring and Introductions.

Adell is one of Disgaea 2's main protagonists and is the last human left on his home planet of Veldime. Ever since Adell was a child, he aimed to train his body and will so that one day he would be able to defeat Overlord Zenon and restore everyone in Veldime back to their original human form. Adell is a proficient martial artist with a strong sense of purpose and determination. He dislikes demons, girls and lies and always strives to keep his promises no matter what.

Location: Veldime; Holt Village

Morning had already come to the small and peaceful village. Having spent the night at the local inn, the three demons exited the building and greeted the new day well rested and full of excitement.

"Bah, this sucks." Roy complained with a loud voice. "The room smelled like mothballs, I hardly had anything to eat and to top it all off I didn't get any sleep because somebody snored through the entire night. He shot Marc a disgusted look.

"What're you looking at me for? It's not my fault we didn't have enough money to rent two rooms!" Marc yelled back. The guys looked at each other annoyed.

"Now now, you two." Celeste said trying to calm the situation down. "We did the best we could with the money we had. Our priority should be acquiring a means of income right now, wouldn't you agree?"

The guys still looked at each other spitefully but the mutual rumbling in their stomachs made them see eye to eye for the moment.

Marc sighed. "In the end we never received our payment 'cuz we messed up on taking care of those damn orcs." he grumbled softly. "I hear someone else already completed the request too, so we can forget about retrying it."

While walking through the small village the party contemplated their options. "Perhaps we could find employment in this village?" Celeste said while coming to a standstill.

"And do what? Mow the lawn or clean their houses? I'll pass; we're demons for Beelzebub's sake!" Roy interjected annoyed.

"He, who doesn't work, doesn't eat!" Celeste said scolding her brother. The siblings continued their quarrel while Marc looked around at the scenery.

("This place is really peaceful for a demon village; in that mindset the whole of Veldime is very different from other Netherworlds.")

"E-excuse me." ("Every other Netherworld I've been to was much rowdier. I guess it must be because it used to be a Human world.")

"I-I'm sorry but- ("But that's why I like this place so much, I suppose.")

"M-Mister demon sir?" Marc turned around to find a pink haired and feeble looking demon standing behind him. The man wore glasses and had a giant yellow pimple with eyes and a mouth sticking from his chest.

"Who're you?" Marc asked eyeing the man curiously.

"I-My name is- well, that is to say, uh…" The man fidgeted and stared at Marc for a while, seemingly sizing him up. Marc sighed. "So? What is it you want?"

"Ah w-well, I overheard your conversation just now and…Could it be you and your friends are looking for a job?" Marc looked behind him to exchange a look with his two companions.

Seeing him in conversation with an unknown demon, Roy and Celeste joined him. "What's going on, Sir Marc?" Celeste asked.

"It seems this guy might have a job for us." Marc explained. "So? What kind of job are we talking about here?" Roy asked the pink haired demon bluntly.

"W-well, it's a bodyguard job. My son's going on a bit of a trip and I'd like him to have some traveling companions. ...You are mercenaries...right?" The three companions exchanged another look.

"A bodyguard job, eh? That does sound up my alley." Marc said with a grin.

"Hold up fool." Roy interrupted. "Hey glasses." He said while pointing at the nervous looking man. "How's the pay? We won't be working for peanuts y'know."

That comment earned him a chop to the head from his sister. Celeste nodded to the man, prompting him to continue his story.

"Ah yes, you'll be rewarded accordingly when our son is safely delivered to his destination. Also-" The man's speech was interrupted by the simultaneous rumbling in Marc and Roy's stomachs. The man softly laughed. "Also, all your meals will be taken care of."

Roy and Marc, without even looking at each other, instantly yelled: "Deal!"

"Honey, Adell, I'm back." The pink haired demon called out to a small group of people standing in front of a house. "Where did you go, dad?" A red-haired boy answered.

"You know we have to leave soon... Hm?" He noticed Marc and party standing behind his father. "Who're they?"

Adells father stepped aside to introduce them. "There are a lot of dangerous monsters out there. I didn't want you two to get lonely, so I hired some people to go with you." Adell sighed. "C'mon dad, you know I can handle myself."

Adells dad smiled meekly and motioned Marc to step forward anyway.

"The name's Marc; I'm a fighter so I'm pretty skilled at close combat. If you need someone taken care of, I'm your man." The red haired young man, known as Adell, gave him a quick nod.

Next Roy stepped up. "…It's Roy. I'm a Red Skull so I rock at using fire magic. Long ranged offense is my specialty." Adell gave another curt nod.

Last up, Celeste stepped forward. "My name is Celeste. I am specialized in the healing arts, so if you ever sustain an injury be sure to call for me." Without making eye contact, Adell gave a final nod.

{Marc, Celeste and Roy joined Adells group!}

"So then, now the introductions are out of the way, how about you take your new friends out for a tour of the town?" A purple haired female demon, who was apparently Adells mother, spoke out. Most noticeable about her was the third eye on her forehead.

"Friends? I don't even know them yet!" Adell yelled flustered.

"Well, take care, Adell." Adells dad said as he gently smiled. "Yeah, yeah, I know. I'll be fine. You worry too much, dad." Adell said with a sigh.

"Hey you!" Adell suddenly yelled towards the house. "We're leaving!"

A young woman exited from the house and brusquely walked towards Adell. The blonde haired woman wore an elaborate dark dress which accentuated her rather ample cleavage. She shot Adell an irritated look.

"I believe I've told you not to address me as you, haven't I? Hmph…"

Adell shrugged. "Yeah whatever, let's just go."

The newly acquainted party of five departed from Adells house and started walking around town. Adell and the woman lead the way while Marc, Celeste and Roy trailed behind. An awkward silence filled the air as Adell and the woman seemingly ignored each other. After walking a bit the woman became fascinated with something on the other side of the road and crossed over, leaving Adell and the rest to wait for her.

"What's with these two? Weren't they friends or something?" Marc whispered to Roy.

"How the hell should I know? You got us into this mess, go break the silence or something." Roy whispered back to Marc annoyed. Marc sighed and decided to approach Adell.

"So uh…Boss?"

"Ah…" Adell let out as the silence was suddenly broken. He turned towards his new group of "friends".

"I guess I haven't properly introduced myself yet, huh? The name's Adell, as you may have heard. I'm known as the last human left in Veldime."

Celeste gasped. "A human you say? It's my first time meeting one! How very interesting!" she said while her eyes glistened with curiosity.

Roy raised an eyebrow as his sister seemingly dissected the young man with her eyes. "You're the last human in this world? How the hell does that work?"

Marc put his hand on the shoulder of the young demon. "You mean you didn't know? Apparently, 15 years back, an Overlord named Zenon came to this Netherworld and put a curse on the people of this land. It turned all the humans who live here into demons." Marc explained curtly.

"How the hell was I supposed to know that? We only came to this Netherworld a few weeks ago. And don't touch me again." Roy brushed Marcs hand from his shoulder and wiped it clean with his sleeve.

Adell decided to ignore the small interruption and continued his story. "As you said, 15 years ago a demon Overlord named Zenon came to Veldime and cursed all humans but me into becoming demons. Ever since then, my family and I have been searching for Zenon in order to dispel the curse."

The three demons glanced at each other almost instantly. "Wait a minute…" Roy said hesitatingly. "It couldn't be that the place we're escorting you is…" Adell crossed his arms and nodded. "That's right, to Overlord Zenons place."

Marc slapped his hand in the middle of his face. "I get the feeling we've been had…"

Celeste stepped forward in turn. "So if I've grasped it correctly…you wish us to escort you to this Overlord Zenon person who you've not been able to find even after searching for the last 15 years?"

Roy also chimed in. "What makes you think we can even find him?"

Adell shook his head. "That's why she's here." He pointed to the woman on the other side of the road. "She's going to take us to him."

The group looked at Adell puzzled. "She is?" Marc said slightly baffled. "And how come she knows the whereabouts of the legendary Overlord Zenon, who hasn't been sighted for the past 15 years?"

Adell shrugged. "Cuz apparently she's his daughter."

Once more, another long silence passed as the three demons processed this new information.

"Wh-whaaaaaaat?"

Quick Weeaboo sidenote here :P In the english version of the game, Adell calls Rozalin "Toots" whereas I made it "you". The reason for this is that in the original japanese version, Adell calls her "Omae" Which roughly translates to a slightly rude variation of you :P See you next Chapter folks~
