Disgaea Jewel of the gods: Chapter 29 Kurtis appears
"Kurtis?! Why are you here? I thought you atoned for your sins and were with your wife and daughter!" Captain Gordon yelled in his completely over the top tone.
The green Prinny, Kurtis, ignored him and pushed Axel to a wall. "You heard me before. Where is Seedle?"
"I don't know!" Axel said. "Honestly! He comes to me, I don't come to him!" Kurtis put his knife right on Axel's neck. "Ok! I do go to him sometimes! But he keeps changing his location! All I know is that he's in the underworld like always!"
Kurtis put away his knife. "Damnit. Still couldn't get any information."
"Kurtis! Answer my question!" Gordon demanded.
"I don't want your help Gordon! I'm sorry." Kurtis ran off.
"Who was that guy?" Mao asked.
"He's Kurtis." Flonne told him. "Rival to Captain Gordon, and 38th defender of earth."
"He sacrificed himself to save me when I was under Carters brainwashing."
"He came back as a Prinny, since he committed sins before, and helped us out when we invaded Celestia." Etna added.
"He also helped me and my friends out in the land of carnage." Adell added again. "Then Rozalin and I helped him against robotic clones of his human form."
"Ok, we get that he has a bunch of stuff going on!" Zetta yelled. He walked up to Axel and put a sword right near his neck. "Why are you here?"
Axel was a coward. An egotistical, narcissistic, coward. So he spilled the beans. "Seedle wanted me to kill the EDF, and set of an explosion in the city killing thousands so he could stack up on souls for the underworld!"
"Netherworlds don't get populated by human deaths unless they commit sins. Demons just come." Laharl said.
"There's a difference between netherworld and underworld." Hanako explained. "It's the place where the dead people go. No matter what their species is." She turned to the screen to explain to the audience. "It doesn't include humans who committed sins, because they would be turned into Prinnies, and simply sent to a netherworld or celestia."
Zetta stabbed Axel in the hand, who screamed in pain. "And is he with Baal?"
"AHHG! N-no. Actually he's trying to make Baal his ultimate minion."
Zetta then stabbed Axel in the leg. "Alright. Now you're coming with us."
"Why?" His voice was high pitched from the pain.
"Living shield." Etna responded.
"Don't we already have those rangers for that?" Adel asked.
"But this doofus would actually make advancements in the plot." Laharl answered.
"Don't I have any say in this?" Axel asked.
Zetta pointed to his sword. "Next time, I won't hesitate to chop of a limb."
"I got the message." Axel said in fear.
"Good." He grabbed Axel and dragged him along, with the rest of the group following.
'Axel joined the party… but he's so weak and useless he won't do anything.'
Carter walked inside the prison cells. He was still shaken by Vyers' arrival. 'He's wrong. I'm doing this for all of earth.' He said in his head. 'When I find the bastard, he's going to regret messing with me.'
"General Carter, our team came back from the two netherworlds you sent us to." A soldier said. "We have captured countless demons from one netherworld, yet only four from the second."
"Why's that?" Carter demanded.
"There was some sort of disaster, or war sir. Nearly all the inhabitants were wiped out. There were two humans aiding them though."
"Fine. The less demons the better." Carter walked through the prison cells. There were lasers as apposed to bars that held the prisoners. Which actually makes no sense seeing as how they're in a sewer. Multiple demons were there. Mothman's, Beast masters, Slimes, etc. In the cells there was also a woman with long yellow hair in a royal outfit, a young child with bull horns, a floating frog, and a young girl with the clothing of a kunoichi. There was also Raspberyl, Almaz, Sapphire, Mr. Champloo, Master BigSter, and Salvatore the magnificent. They were ambushed by the EDF.
"I can't believe I'm forced to buy demons for our cause." That's right. With COMP's you can buy demons in an auction. Those things can do pretty cool stuff.
Carter got up the devil auction. He went across different demons that were available on auction. He then found one that he would buy. Something that none of the ex EDF soldiers have. He bid and won paying hundreds of millions of macca. (What you pay for the demon auction) He bought one of the Baal clones. And he then decided to buy more.
After clearing stage after stage in the sewers, the group finally made it to the HQ of the ex-EDF.
"Here it is! The former earth defense force base!" Axel told them. "Can I go now?" He got no response.
"Now we can free the city from this barricade!" Gordon yelled, stating the obvious.
"Who gives a crap about the city? I'm just following whatever the oracle said." Mao stated.
"If it weren't for Baal, the city and everyone in it could burn for all I care." Laharl said.
"You guys are bastards." Adell said.
"We're demons." Mao said. "What would you expect?"
Before Flonne could spread her philosophy about how even demons care for others, a bunch of EDF soldiers appeared. "Glad to see you agree."
"Damnit, I'm getting sick of these guys." Etna said. During the levels they completed to get to the base, there were several COMP using EDF soldiers that gave the group a tough time.
"You think you can do any better than those other soldiers?" Zetta asked.
"We can with this." The soldiers got out their COMP's. There were some expected classes, such as demon slayer mage, or healer. But each COMP could hold two characters, and the other one for each soldier was a Baal clone.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Mao yelled.
"How did you get clones of Baal?" Adell asked.
"Devil auction. That's how we get all the demons" One of the many nameless soldiers said. "There's an economical crisis in the netherworlds so large that some demons are actually being sold."
"Why would Baal sell clones of himself?" Mao asked.
"How the hell should we know?" The soldier responded. "We're just going to kill you, and then kill all other demons. That way, humans can live in the netherworld, and solve the economical crisis."
"But your actions are hurting humans as well as demons." Jennifer told them.
"We don't question Carter. We just follow orders."
"But do you truly believe this is the right thing to do for earth?" Gordon asked. "Do you think risking the lives of thousands by shutting of their resources will be worth it? Do you think risking the saftey of all of humanity by starting a war against demons will solve our economical problem?"
"Shut up!" One of the many faceless soldiers yelled. "Prepare to die!"
There were 10 soldiers total. 10 baal clones, 2 mages, a healer, 3 demonslayers, 2 Prinnies a galatic demon, and an Orc.
"Godamnit. This is getting annoying." Zetta said.
"COME AT US EVIL DOERS!" Gordon bellowed.
"You're no match for our burning justice!" Jennifer yelled.
Kurtis walked past several knocked out bodies of EDF soldiers. "The earth defense force problem is getting out of hand." He said to himself. "I'll have to stop them first. Still, I might find a lead on Seedle. I'll just have to track Gordon down."
"Who's the green prinny talking to himself?" Sapphire asked behind the cells.
"Hey, can you help us?" Almaz asked.
Kurtis turned around. 'How did I miss seeing thousands of people behind cells?' He thought. Kurtis stuck a knife in a control panel and the lasers holding them disappered.
"Thank you for your generosity, zam." The young ninja girl, Yukimaru said.
"Helping out random people you've never met is truly a sign of a growing friendship." Raspberyl said to Kurtis.
"I did it because you were there. No other reason." Kurtis ran off.
"Ms. Rozalin!" The flying frog in a stereotyped french accent yelled. "We know zat Prinny."
"That's right. We met him in the land of carnage." Rozalin said.
"Finally! We're free!" A slime yelled.
"It's killing time!" A mothman screamed.
"WHOO-HOO!" All the generic classes who were trapped ran outside the base so they could kill, steal from, pillage, or rape humans.
"Should we do something princess?" The child had horns like a cow. His name is Taro, Hanko's sister, and self proclaimed slave of Rozalin.
"Those monsters have an average level of 10. I'm sure the humans can take care of themselves."
"But most humans are even lower level than that." Almaz said.
"A duckling must become a fully grown meal by relying on itself more often. Humans will need to stand up for themselves without us, or those idiot soldiers boom!" Mr. Champloo yelled.
"What would relying on itself have to do with becoming cooked?" Almaz asked. "And this is really irresponsible."
"Where do you suppose the prinny went?" Master Bigster asked.
"Let's follow him. We'll need to get the plot moving somehow." Sapphire said.
"Are you guys even listening to me?" Almaz asked. They went to the direction Kurtis was.
Etna summoned multiple spears to rain down on the Ball clones. She then went behind an EDF soldier an shot him in the head. "That's what you get for being an idiot."
Zetta chopped of the head of an orc, and used Zetta beam on an EDF soldier. "This can be done a lot quicker if we just go for their COMP's." Zetta said.
"Very well. I'm sorry it has came to this my fellow EDF soldiers, but you have been blinded by the path of evil! GORDON PUNCH!" His fist glowed with energy. "GORDON FINISH!" He punched the soldier out cold, along with breaking the COMP.
"Damnit. They're to strong." There were a total of 3 soldiers left. 2 Baal clones, a Prinny, and a mage remained remained.
"Time to die." Laharl said.
"WAIT! If you let us live we'll tell you something about one of your future deaths!" A soldier screamed.
"My sensors indicate that this would be useful news." Thursday said.
"Yeah, that would be nice to know. I mean being dragged into this does get me to worry about my health." Axel said.
"How can you tell time of death's anyway?" Zetta asked.
"Another function of the COMP's is that if somebody has less than 10 days to live, certain COMP users can see the time of death." One of the soldiers explained.
"Who's going to die?" Flonne asked. Laharl was staring at Adell, Mao, and Zetta. 'I would actually consider praying if it would make it one of those guys' he thought.
"You can change your fate, but if you don't, the one who'll die in 3 days is..." then several of the demons that were released showed up. "Who the hell set their base up in a sewer?" A catsaber asked.
Mao's eyes widened, and he started drooling. "Geoffery." He called out. A demon dressed similar to a butler suddenly appeared. "Yes young master?"
"How... how long was he following you?" Adell asked.
Mao ignored him. "Hand me my tools." Geoffrey gave Mao a suitcase filled with knives, scapels, needles, thread, and machinery. "EXPERIMENT!" Mao rushed towards the soldiers and demons with tools in his hands.
Mao was covered with blood and guts. He turned around and saw that everybody was incredibly disturbed by what happened. "What?"
"You're twisted." Jennifer said.
"I'm a demon."
"I've been studying demons." Flonne said. "None of the ones I've met fed people their own skulls filled with intenstines, or replace their sexual body parts."
"That's because I'm the number 1 honor student in the universe."
Zetta put hand on his face. "Repressing thoughts, repressing thoughts." He put it off. "And repressed. Let's go, and never mention this to me ever again."
"Beep, beep, blip, beep. The control system for the barricade is in the final room." Thursday the robot said.
"Fine, let's go." Laharl said. Because of Mao the group never got to know who could die, so they had to just hope that the soldiers lied.
Kurtis ran into the final room. 'How do I shut down these barricades anyway?' He than heard the footsteps of somebody behind them. "General Carter."
"Kurtis, you bastard. If you didn't betray me, we would have been able to solve the population problem on Earth."
"This isn't the way to do it. Threatening the lives of thousands of innocents is not worth it."
"Which would you prefer to save Kurtis. The lives of thousands, or the lives of billions?" Carter asked.
Kurtis got out his knives. "I'm going to make sure you die right now."
Carter got out his COMP. "If only you didn't betray me Kurtis. I wouldn't have to kill you." From his COMP came out two characters. A revived Fried, and Baal. "Kill him."
"With pleasure." Baal said.
This chapter is finally out. This was the closet I've came to giving up the series so far. I'm glad I still completed it. Anyway this chapter was rushed, but I think it had some good jokes in it. If you're confused, the Disgaea 2 and 3 supporting cast are in one group, and the heroes, Zetta, and the Disgaea 1 supporting cast are in the other. And there wasn't any fake episode intro, or news report because I'm running out of ideas for them. Hopefully there will be next chapter. Thanks for being patient, and I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
