Blu: That last chapter seemed so very random.

Etna: Duh, that's why you put us in a random dungeon, right?

Mid-Boss: But it was so very beautiful, mademoiselle.

Ash: Lemme guess: because you were in it.

Laharl: Dammit! Why can't you just DIE!

Blu: Eh-heh. Anyway, today's chappie is sure to be interesting. Now, Mint, if you'd please.

Mint: Right-O! Blu Rose didn't make any of the games by Nippon Ichi. If she did, she wouldn't have to spend money for them. And on with the fic!

X-X-X

The power of Burgundy is a powerful ability that only a few people from Ivoire can tap into. One such person is the legendary Scarlet the Brave, the warrior that once stopped Sulphur. A current Burgundy user is a Chroma Oxide by the name of Walnut, whose power had a part in helping Sulphur to come back. The power of the warrior's heart in battle. That is the power of Burgundy...

X-X-X

"Bring it on. I'm sure I can beat a mere mortal." Laharl said after Walnut powered up his Burgundy. The chroma oxide smirked.

"Bring it on, punk." Walnut launched forward and punched Laharl in the face. The force of the blow sent the overlord into a palm tree. Laharl growled and touched the bruise on his cheek.

"Well, maybe you WILL be worth my time." Laharl pulled out his sword and dashed towards, trying to slash Walnut a couple of times. But the Chroma Oxide kept dodging. Walnut threw a punch, but Laharl dodged and managed to slash his leg.

His vassals just watched. "Should we help him?" Raz asked as Walnut ducked beneath Laharl's sword when it was aiming to take off his head. "That's what we're here for." Laharl kicked Walnut in the face.

"It looks like the Prince is handling it all by himself. " said Etna as Walnut retaliated by punching Laharl rapidly in the stomach and ending his attack with a kick that sent the demon flying. "Then again, maybe not."

Laharl stopped in mid-air and began to gather energy. "Winged Slayer!" He came down fast towards Walnut like a falling meteor and slashed him in the arm. "Take that!" Laharl smirked as Walnut clutched his bleeding arm.

"Grrr..." Walnut began to glow with a fiery aura surrounding him. "Burgundy!" He jumped into the air and punched Laharl in the stomach. Even more amazing, the punch somehow made him catch on fire!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

"Uh-oh. Looks like he's in trouble!" Ash exclaimed as he pulled out his sword and jumped up into the air. "Ground Breaker!" When he landed, the force of the attack launched a small quake towards Walnut. The chroma oxide got knocked aside like a rag doll.

Walnut glared at Ash. "What the... You again?" The blonde stood up and dusted himself off. "I see you've made a few changes to your look. Figures YOU'D end up as a demon."

"...Are you really Walnut?" Ash asked as he looked into the eyes of the man standing in front of him. "WHAT are you?"

Walnut smirked. "If you win... I'll tell you!" He dashed forward and tried to punch Ash, but the blue-haired demon back flipped and dodged the attack. Ash dashed forward and began to slash away at Walnut, most of his attacks hitting. The blonde gave Ash a forceful kick, sending him flying into a palm tree.

"Forget about me?" Walnut suddenly felt a pain in his back. He looked over his shoulder and saw Laharl behind him, wearing a proud smirk and grasping his blood-covered sword tightly. "Don't tell me you thought you could kill the Supreme Overlord with that weak attack!"

The chroma oxide glared at the young Overlord. "You just don't know when to give up, do you, brat?"

Laharl's hair stood up at the insult. His eyes glowed red. "BRAT? I'll show YOU, WHELP!" He launched forward and slashed Walnut in the stomach. A vast wound was made, but surprisingly, no blood was made. Walnut smirked.

"Good aim...for...a twerp." His eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell down on the sand. Laharl rubbed the bruise on his face that Walnut had given him in the beginning; then he looked down at the chroma oxide and started to laugh.

"Haaaahahahaha! That oughta teach you not to mess with the Overlord!" Laharl's eyes widened a bit when he saw Walnut's body was starting to fade. (Just like Midboss...)

"There's a connection here."

"Eh?" Laharl turned around and saw Ash standing behind him.

"Think about it. You said that Mid-boss guy was supposed to be in Celestia and he's down here. Then Walnut shows up and he's supposed to in Ivoire." Ash's eyes narrowed a bit. "This is no normal random dungeon."

"...Yup. That's why I say we should keep going." Laharl folded his arms across his chest. "The opponents are getting stronger and stronger... Now I'm curious as to who's at the end. Hmhmhm..."

Ash blinked and let out a sigh. (I should've known he'd like the thought of this...)

X-X-X

As the gang of demons entered the nexus, they entered into another new area. This one being a pure white hallway with very pricey valuables lying about.

"Oooh! This is a thief's paradise!" Adel said as his and Etna's eyes widened to the size of saucers.

"Let's steal something!"

"Dibs on the Ming Vase!"

"As long as I get this nice oil painting!"

The others sweatdropped at the thieving vassals' antics. Laharl stepped forward. "Will you two stop it? You can't just go around stealing and..."

"And...?" Adel and Etna leaned forward to hear what their liege had to say.

"...Ah hell! Loot and plunder this place clean!" Laharl shouted.

"Yes sir!" Adel and Etna continued to toss things into the bag Adel was carrying around.

"Is he really going to let them do that?" asked Scarlet as Etna stuffed a vase into the bag. "It's not like he needs it or anything."

"I guess it's a stereo-typed thing." said Raz. "Demons are supposed to be evil, and stealing is evil. Therefore, demons must steal a lot." Everyone gave Raz a "what the heck?" look. "What?"

"That was very... How did you..."

The warrior shrugged. "I guess I've gotten used to demons stealing things from each other. In my old Netherworld, the people who stole tons were the most praised."

"Interesting..." said Flonne. "I guess some demons, no matter what universe, think stealing makes them a true demon."

"Got that right!" Adel grinned as he lifted the bag. "Now then, let's move on. Maybe we'll find something MORE expensive further on." Everyone sweatdropped as he started to hum and skip happily down the hall.

"...Do you think Rogues can steal some sense from another demon? He seriously needs it." Laharl muttered as the rest of the group followed Adel.

X-X-X

The group came into what looked like a large circular room. "Where are we now?" Flonne said as she looked around. The room was mainly red and gold.

Etna pouted and put her hands on her hips. "Aw, there's nothing in here to steal."

"Don't you think you've stolen enough for one day?"

"...No."

Laharl folded his arms across his chest. "So where's this challenger? I'm ready for anything!"

"Are you now?" A voice from nowhere giggled.

"Eh?"

A ball of light appeared in the room. The ball soon turned into a figure. "You think that you're tough, huh? I'd like to see how you do in the end." The light faded and a demon who was around her 1400s stood there. She had long, light purple hair with a dress to match and eyes that were red, but strangely, were black where it should have been white. In her hair was a red ribbon tied in a bow.

Laharl stepped forward. "Who the hell are YOU supposed to be?"

The demon girl giggled again and a vein appeared on Laharl's head. "I am Plum the Oracle. Don't get mad, Harlie-kins, I'm only playing with you."

Scarlet blinked. (Plum the Oracle...?)

The vein on Laharl's head got bigger. "HARLIE-KINS? I'M THE GODDAMNED OVERLORD!"

Plum sighed and rolled her eyes. "Blah, blah, blah..."

"GRRRR...! So I guess that YOU'RE the challenge on this level?"

Plum gasped. "Goodness no! I'm merely seeing if you're okay. Hmmm... Uh-huh... Well, at least none of you have lost an arm and a leg. ...Yet."

Laharl stepped forward. "Eh? What's THAT supposed to mean?"

Plum covered her mouth with her hand and started to giggle. "Wouldn't you like to know... Catch you later!" And in a flash of light, the oracle disappeared as fast as she had reappeared.

"WHAT! Hey, get back here! I'm not done with you yet!" The young Overlord shouted up at the ceiling but didn't receive a response.

"...Now what?" said Ash.

"Uh...guys?" Marona pointed to the center of the room where Plum was standing. Some things started to pop out of the ground. Odd-looking creatures too that looked as though they were in the dirt ground beneath the floor.

"What ARE those things?" Flonne asked with wide eyes.

"They're...vegetables." Ash said as a sweatdrop rolled down the side of his head.

True, standing before them was a dozen of veggie-like demons! Mainly made up pumpkin-heads, corn demons and a few weird apples that had one eye and stood on their huge roots.

"THIS is supposed to be a challenge?" Etna said with a skeptical look, her hands on her hips. "Vegetable demons."

"Blech! I absolutely HATE vegetables!" Laharl growled.

"I may be afraid to ask, but...why?" asked the thief of the group.

"Because they're...GOOD for you. Ugh..." The demon prince shivered at the thought.

Adel blinked. "Huh?"

"I guess that explains why you don't grow." Raz grinned as Laharl's hair stood up and his eyes glowed red.

"I think you're thinking about milk," Ash interrupted. "But I guess Laharl doesn't drink a lot of milk, either."

"You two keep laughing, just wait until we get out of here. THEN your heads are mind! Haaaahahaha!" Ash and Raz sweatdropped. The Overlord raised his sword and smiled evilly,. "I'm gonna LOVE doing this!"

X-X-X

Needless to say, Laharl pretty much turned those demons into an evil, demonic salad with his sword, some magic from Flonne and a good shot with a bazooka Adel had stolen from the first few levels.

The next area they entered into was familiar to most of the denizens of the Netherworld. They were in a forest of sorts where a dark atmosphere loomed.

"We're in the Blair Forest now." Flonne stated. "I wonder if we'll meet anyone we met here..."

"We've been waiting for you, demons!" Three characters jumped down from the a high plateau above the group. They were distinctly dressed in similar suits in the colors of red, yellow and blue.

The blue figure started to pose. "When evil is near, we appear out of nowhere!"

The guy in yellow started to pose as stupidly as the blue. "The three lights of justice that save the world with courage and hope!"

"Dear god..." Laharl moaned.

"Not these losers again." Etna sighed. "Fate can be so cruel..."

The figures however didn't seem to notice Laharl and Etna's expressions. "Together...!" shouted Red. "...We are...!" shouted Blu. "...The Prism Rangers!" The Prism Rangers struck a pose as a dorky light show appears behind them.

The vassals could only sweatdrop and stare while Flonne clapped like a giddy fan girl.

"When I look back at it...I realize most of the people I beat the crap out of where seriously WEIRD." Laharl said with a sweatdrop.

"The...Prism Rangers...?" asked Marona as she turned to Flonne, expecting for the fallen angel to give her an answer.

"The Prism Rangers are powerful heroes and protectors! When evil is near, they appear out of nowhere!" Flonne proclaimed with flames burning in her eyes. Marona sweatdropped.

"Uh..."

Laharl turned to Marona. "Don't listen to the Love Freak. They're just a bunch of dumb losers that tried to beat me and become Overlords."

Scarlet stepped forward. "Excuse me, you said you were the PRISM Rangers, right? But...there are only three of you."

"Yeah, that's hardly a rainbow." Ash added.

"That's what I said!" Flonne exclaimed.

"That's the reason why they wanted to become Overlord." Etna stated. "To have friends. I don't think ANYone in the Netherworld would want to be friends with geeks like them."

"Hey!" The Prism Rangers said in protest. "Don't take us for the weaklings you defeated before! We have changed to the Ultra Prism Rangers!"

"...What's so different? You look like the same freaks as before." said Etna.

"All right here we go!" Red shouted as he and his fellow freaks-er, rangers struck a pose and started to glow.

"Hey, they aren't going to try it again...are they?" said Flonne.

"Oh, don't worry. I have it under control." Etna pulled out a bazooka from out of nowhere. "Thank you, Mint!" She aimed at the blue and yellow rangers. "This time, STAY DOWN!" She pulled the trigger and sent a bazooka flying towards the rangers.

-KABOOOOOOMMMM!- Needless to say, the attack hit its target.

Red stood over his fallen comrades, or rather, what remained of them, which were nothing, but ashes that were being blown away by the wind.

"BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEE! YELOWWWWWWWW!"

"...Yup." Laharl nodded. "Just like the last time. You'd think they would've learned to transform first, THEN come out."

Etna blew the barrel of the bazooka. "Ah, that felt nice."

"Was it right to do that? They hadn't even attacked yet." said Scarlet.

"Puh-lease! We ARE demons. Fairplay just isn't in our understanding. Besides, it's not like they're real."

Red balled his fist and pointed at the Overlord and his vassals. "Curse you, demons! Have you no honor?"

Laharl put his face into what looked like concentration. "...Nope. Not a bit."

"I thought everyone in the world knew how bad demons could be." Etna said as she grinned her cat-like grin. "NOW what are you gonna do without your pals?"

"I'LL tell you." Laharl held out his hand and his sword appeared in it. "He's gonna DIE!" He lunged forward and began to have more bloody fun. In fact, it was so horrible, I can't even say it, so I'll just say what happened afterwards...

Red was in a crumpled up heap on the ground and Laharl was standing over his body, bloody sword in hand.

"-Pant- ... -Pant- ..."

"Wow...I think you were a little TOO aggressive." said Raz.

"If that is possible with the way the prince was acting." Scarlet said with a sweatdrop.

The nexus to the next dungeon level appeared before them.

Laharl turned to the rest of the group. "What are you waiting for? Let's go on! On to the next victim! Haaaahahahaha!"

"I think random dungeons may now be one of Laharl's favorite things." Flonne said as they walked through the nexus.

X-X-X

The level they appeared on now was one that looked like a courtyard of a castle.

"Where are we now?" Marona looked around. "Is this another part of the Netherworld?"

Laharl looked around. "I've never seen a place like this in my netherworld... Where the hell are we!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared out of the sky and struck the ground in front of Laharl and the group. A figure stood in front of them. He had short green hair and a green open, sleeveless jacket with pants of the same color. Flowing around his neck was a sort of ceremonial scarf.

"Who's the idiot who thinks he can enter Alexander the G.O.D.'s domain without getting killed?" The figure known as Alex said.

"G.O.D.?" FLonne and Marona tilted their heads to the side. "What's that?"

Alex jabbed a thumb to his chest. "It means, 'God of Destruction'. Now...WHO THE HELL'S IN MY NETHERWORLD!"

Laharl stepped forward and folded his arms across his chest. "I am! Laharl the Supreme Phantom Overlord! Haaaaahahaha!"

Alexander sized the young blue-haired demon...and started to laugh. "HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! You've GOT to be kidding! You're just a weak kid!"

Laharl's hair stood up and his eyes glowed red. "WHAAAAAAAAT? How DARE you!" He raised his sword. "I'm going to make you scream in pain and BEG for mercy, jerk!"

Alex got serious and got into a fighting pose. "Okay, kid. I'll humor you. Let's go."

X-X-X
