"Talk"
'Thought'
"Now, everyone, to our Supreme Leader, the ritual of fidelity." Said a pristine beauty outfitted with a marvelous white dress that enveloped her entrancing curves. She placed her hands which were covered with pure white gloves over her heart. The void-colored wings that spurted out of her hips fluttered in glee as she bowed before her eternal master. Her black hair -which was accompanied by 2 short, marble-like horns- dangled in front of her face.
The five beings behind her mimicked her every motion.
"Guardian of the first, second, and third floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, Shalltear Bloodfallen I bow before the Supreme One." The first one to speak was a petite doll-like figure who was no taller than 140cm. The purple gothic dress that she wore over her figure swayed left and right with every word she spoke.
Still kneeling in front of her beloved, she lifted her head, and -with her crimson eyes- stared deep into the Guild master's soul.
The next one to speak was an imposing-looking bug. It bore the resemblance of a mixture between a mantis and an ant. His body was coated with shining cerulean armor that left no weak spots uncovered. It clicked its mandibles in quick succession and exhaled a cold, blue mist from its mouth, "The. Guardian. Of. The. Fifth. Floor. Of. The. Great. Underground. Tomb. Of. Nazarick. Cocytus. I. Bow. Before. The. Supreme. One."
The Undead monster in front of him nodded and turned to face the person next to him.
"Guardian of the sixth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, Aura Bella Fiora." The third person to speak up was a dark elf of similar stature to that of Shalltear. Her blonde hair and heterochromatic eyes are what differentiated her from the petite Vampire. She wore a leather outfit that was made from the hide of the toughest of monsters. Below her neck, and over her clavicles was a golden necklace with an acorn of the same color.
"G-Guardian of the sixth floor, Mare Bello Fiore." Said another Dark Elf. Although the young elf looked like a girl, he was actually a boy. Mare and Aura are crossdressers as well as the creations of another of the Supreme Beings, Bukubukuchagama. He wore a similar outfit to that of Aura's but with an inverted color palette. Instead of having a red outfit, he had a blue one. He tried to meet his master's gaze but was unable to thanks to his shyness. He gripped the wooden staff that he held in his hands as a way to deal with his nervousness.
"We bow before the supreme one." The Dark Elf twins said in unison.
"Guardian of the seventh floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, Demiurge, I bow before the Supreme One." Last but not least was a slim, tan man wearing a red-stripped British suit. The metallic tail that stuck out of his back swayed in an unpredictable pattern, which betrayed the calm demeanor that he so desperately tried to maintain.
"Overseer of the Floor Guardians, Albedo. I bow before your supreme presence, my lord." Said the impossibly beautiful woman that first started the conversation, "Other than the Guardian of the fourth floor, Gargantua, and the Guardian of the eighth floor, Victim, all the Floor Guardians have gathered before you. Please bestow your orders upon us, Supreme One. We offer you everything that we are and everything that we'll ever be to you, oh great master of Nazarick."
The eyes of the Undead that stood before them shone a dangerous crimson color. Out of nowhere, an all-encompassing aura of dread started to surround the master of death. The robed skeleton spread his arms and spoke, "Wonderful, Floor Guardians! I am confident that all of you will be able to fulfill your duties without fail!" He said with an aura that demanded respect.
Hearing the words of their master, all of the Guardians' faces contorted into a smile of happiness and joy.
"Now, to the matter at hand, it seems that The Great Tomb of Nazarick is caught up in an unknown situation, I already have Sebas surveying our surroundings-" The Undead King was interrupted when he received an incoming 'Message'.
"What is it Sebas? Are you done with the order I have given you?" Momonga was very eager to hear what Sebas had to report. there was a moment of silence, the Floor Guardians stayed silent, not wanting to interrupt him when he was clearly discussing something via a 'Message'
"...Can you repeat that?"
The butler appeared in front of Momonga before he could properly answer through Message. Behind him were the 6 members of the Pleiade Battle Maids, Yuri Alpha, Lupusregina Beta, CZ2128 Delta, Solution Epsilon, Narberal Gamma, and Entoma Zeta, who all seemed to be carrying a very large metal machine, that looked damaged and nonfunctional, everyone in the area looked at it with a mix of confusion, amazement, curiosity, and caution, a feeling both shared and even amplified by the Ruler Of Nazarick.
"Sebas… Can you please explain what you have brought with you?" Momonga couldn't help but stare at the machine that the butler had brought with him. It reminded him of the machines that usually accompanied workers in their office jobs. It was a pity that only those with money could have one though, they would've really helped someone like Herohero, who was at death's door thanks to overworking.
"My Lord, I bring before you one of the many metal artifacts we've found outside of the Tomb." Sebas, along with the Pleiades, bowed before their master, after which, they answered his question.
"There are more?" *Momonga couldn't help but ask, this news was shocking enough to make his emotions be suppressed by his undead abilities. So, magic alongside advanced technology exists? How peculiar…
"Yes, when we walked outside Nazarick, instead of seeing the familiar swamp of Helheim, we instead found a land filled with nothing but ancient and ruined metal objects and buildings, though the one we found seems in a more intact state than the rest" As Sebas finished up his report, the Undead King just stood in front of the unresponsive metallic device.
'That just confirms that we're not in Yggdrasil anymore. We have to be careful, apart from knowing that we are in some sort of junkyard, we are completely blind…' As Momonga tried to figure out what to do with this new piece of information, he raised his hand and delicately poked the machine in front of him, which not only made a loud banging sound but somehow managed to power up and turn on. Proof of this could be seen when two red lights, which seem to be eyes, turned on and looked at the Skeletal Master. Momonga, familiar with how droids worked, decided to stand back and give it some space.
"It's Alive!?" Albedo was both shocked and angry to see the Head Butler bring something that was alive and possibly dangerous to their Ruler Of Nazarick.
"We Need To Kill It Before It Attacks Lord Momonga!" Shalltear, as well as the rest of the Floor Guardian's Servants, were all ready to jump in and kill the Metal Beast, though before they could, their Lord raised a hand to stop them.
"Stand Down!" Momonga ordered everyone to stop, to which they did, they were about to question their Overlord on why they weren't allowed to attack but stopped when everyone quickly noticed the large droid stumbling around on its broken legs. The droid tried to shoot the monsters around him but miserably failed as its blaster was heavily damaged. After a moment or two, it stumbled back and fell to the floor.
"This Metal beast seems to have suffered a lot of injuries, how fortunate~" Demiurge smiled, thinking of how he could experiment on this new, never-before-seen monster.
"What should we do to it my Lord, do we kill it?" Aura asked as she tilted her head, unsure of what to do with it.
Listening in on the conversation, the metallic beast started to quiver, it tried to crawl away, but its meaningless attempts only managed to catch the attention of Momonga.
"Ah, it seems that our new guest is able to understand us, so why do we not just talk to it." With that idea in mind, Momonga walked closer to the damaged Droid. Although they knew that the Droid didn't pose a threat to their master, the Guardians were still worried.
"I have a few questions for you, and if you answer them truthfully, you shall not be destroyed, understood?" Momonga spoke in a tone that could be described as calm, but slightly threatening, which only served to scare the Droid even more.
"Beeeep, bep bep, bep, brrrrb brrrp bep, bep." The Robot quickly replied.
"Um, excuse me?" Momonga didn't understand what the damaged Droid said to him, thanks to this, he only became confused.
"Translate: 'I will comply.' " CZ, one of the Pleiades, quickly responded and translated for her Lord, surprising him.
"You can understand it?" Momonga said in amazement.
"Yes, as an Automaton, I am able to decipher mechanical languages."
"Alright then, would you please translate everything it says?" Momonga kindly asked the Battle Maid for her assistance*
"It would be my honor, my Lord." CZ bowed, and approached the machine, ready to translate everything it was about to say.
"Let's start off with a simple question then, who or what are you?" Momonga -after everything was ready- continued to interrogate the robotic being in front of him.
"Bep, brp brp, rrrrb, bep!" The machine quickly spoke and answered the question, once it stopped, the Undead King glanced at the soldier-looking servant, waiting for her to translate what it had said.
"Translate: 'A Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark 1, or also known as a Vulture Droid'." CZ quickly spoke, after a while, the whole Interrogation and translating lasted a good hour or two, and during that time, the Ruler Of Nazarick and his Servants learned a lot about the situation they were in.
Firstly: They found out that Droids, like the one they have, came in many shapes and sizes, and had many roles such as service, battle, and leading, that piece of info alone was enough to amaze everyone in the Amphitheater. But that was not all, the 2nd piece of information they were given was that there was an intergalactic war happening in the middle of space, and across many planets. Apparently, it was called the 'Clone Wars' which was led by both the Galactic Republic and Confederation of Independent Systems.
The Vulture Droid also told them other things, such as the battle that it fought in, the places it went, and other war and non-war-related things. Unfortunately, most of the info that it told was either basic or limited, which was still a lot more than what the citizens of the Great Tomb Of Nazarick knew.
"Hmm…" Momonga held his chin and began to process everything he has been told. He started to wonder what to do about what he had just learned.
"Lord Momonga, what are your orders?" Albedo, as well as others, wanted to know what their Master was thinking about and what he planned to do next.
The Overlord, -after thinking deeply and taking a glance at everyone- finally found his answers on what his next course of action would be. He slammed the tip of his staff to get everyone's attention.
"For now, we shall ignore the 'Clone Wars' and avoid it as much as we can, no need to start unnecessary conflicts." After that was made clear, Momonga quickly looked at loli Vampire, Bug Warrior, and Elf trap*
"Shalltear! Cocytus! Mare! You three will be in charge of increasing Nazarick defenses while also making sure we're not detected by anyone! This is one of the top priorities right now, if you feel like you need any assistance in this matter, please contact Albedo." Once Momonga gave out his first order, the three servants quickly bowed and yelled out, 'Yes My Lord!' before getting up and leaving to do what they were ordered.
With that done, the Overlord quickly turned to meet the Dark Elf Beast Tamer in the eyes, "Aura! You and your pets will explore the area surrounding the tomb, and bring back any important-looking piece of machinery that you see, I also want you to do the same if you find any organic being." Momonga wanted to learn more about the land they were in, and what it had to offer.
"As you wish my Lord!~" Aura bowed before quickly running off excitedly, whistling and calling for her pets to come with her.
once she was gone, the Undead King looked at the polite yet evil demon, "Demiurge! I wish for you to conduct research and experiments on any piece of technology you are given, it will be very important and detrimental to Nazarick." Momonga could see the many advantages of having such advanced technology included in their home.
"Of course my Lord, it shall be done~" Demiurge could only imagine what the Supreme Being' could be planning, he bowed and quickly left, once he was gone, Momonga looked at everyone else that remained, which was Albedo, Sebas, and the Pleiades.
"Everyone Else, help those that need it and make sure they have your full support, for the sake of all of Nazarick!" Momonga gave out his last and final order, causing everyone remaining to bow.
"We Shall Do Our Best, Lord Momonga! We shall not fail you!" All the servants understood their orders and were ready to fulfill them, to which the Overlord nodded in satisfaction before he looked at the Lovely Succubus.
"Albedo, be sure to monitor everyone and report back to me any progress they made." Momonga was hopeful for results in the future, to which the Overseer smiled and nodded to her Lord's words.
"Your wish shall be granted, Lord Momonga~..."
After everything was set and ready to get started, Momonga decided to leave the area and do some personal experiment of his own, he wanted to test the limits of his powers, though just as he was about to, he stopped himself when he noticed the Vulture Droid still near, looking around in confusion, unsure what to. This made the Ruler Of Nazarick hum and rub his chin.
"CZ, do you mind fixing up our new Droid, and possibly improving it?" Momonga looked back at one of the Combat Maids.
"It is not a problem, my Lord" CZ gave her master an almost imperceivable smile and accepted the tasks at hand, which pleased her Lord.
"Thank you, I look forward to your results." Without saying anything else, Momonga teleported to his personal quarters. The remaining servants proceeded to head towards the Amphitheater's exit, which just left the Automaton and Droid alone in the great colosseum, the mechanical servant turned her head and stood directly in front of the broken machine.
"I will make you presentable and cute, for our Lord..." CZ spoke in an emotionless tone, before releasing a bunch of mechanical arms from behind her back, which held a saw, claw, hammer, and torch. Seeing all these deadly weapons made the Vulture Droid whimper, and hide its head back into its body.
"Brrr…."
I decided, to give Nazarick a fighting chance, they'll be in a Junk yard planet, which is filled with a bunch of broken technology, hopefully they'll be useful to them~
(BTW extra information about Star Wars would be nice pwease, I might be knowledgeable but I'm still not an expert)
