"Welcome back you two. Did you find Laharl?"

"Yeah, he's in here."

"Laharl was all upset about our loss to a human and a group of Phantoms. So we put him into a bottle again!"

"Oh for petes sake, what are we supposed to DO with you guys?"

"You could let Laharl out you know."

"I don't think so. He wants to go training in Item World again."

"God, not again."

"LAHARL IS AN IDIOT. ACCEPTING DEFEAT WOULD BE EASIER."

"There's no stopping the Prince anyhow. C'mon, lets find some way to loose him in Item World sooner or later."

"Welcome back. Did you get them?"

"Hmph, I maimed them so badly, they didn't know what hit them! That'll teach those humans not to mess with the Great and Powerful Laharl, Overlord of Phantom Isle! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

"I'm SOOOOO glad for you, Prince."

"Hmph, I'm practically the Supreme Overlord now, Etna! I'm not a prince any longer!"

"What-EVER. I'm going to my room."

"So, how did he take defeat, Flonne?"

"Not too well Jennifer. He's denying the fact that he didn't win and they let him think they were defeated."

"Heh, fun times all around. Speaking of fun times, did he actually go beat on Overlord Prier again?"

"She kicked his ass and then faked maiming. No worries."

"Did his ego inflate to 500 psi or something, Etna?"

"He got whupped by those humans again and then was given the win by them."

"Ah, devious. Chalk one up for the humans."

"You're one to talk, Mr. Defender of the Earth Gordon."

"Ahem... well..."

"Oh hello! I didn't expect to see you here today!"

"Naw, it's all good. So I hear Laharl got off easy from a bunch of humans."

"Yeah, they really beat him up good. They're strong since they took down me and Etna."

"Kind of wish I could go there, but I spent a lot of power faking my defeat again."

"I really wish you wouldn't."

"But it keeps Laharl off my back. What good is it to have a near obsessive-compulsive on my backside for all eternity if you can beat him up for grins and giggles?"

"True. Do you want some cookies? I baked them this morning."

"I haven't had cookies since I was mortal at La Pucelle. Got some milk?"

"I DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE."

"I miss the simple life here. Well, as simple as it got moi anyhow."

"I SEE YOU STILL SPEAK WITH THAT RIDICULOUS ACCENT."

"Fine talk coming from a mechanized bucket of bolts. But I digress. It seems that Laharl is getting a bit egotistical as of late."

"HE HAD TWO FREE WINS."

"Explains much. Perhaps I should invite those humans here, to visit. Perhaps they will see that Laharl deserves a loss as much as they can deliver it."

"YOU ARE HIS FATHER. WHY PERSIST?"

"Because he is my son. And as moi's son, I will not have moi son being inflated on free wins."

"LOGICAL. HOW IS THE MISSUS?"

"Happy that we are together again. I've almost expended my mana for today as I went to challenge those two humans on matters of principle. I will see you on Thursday, Thursday."

"GOOD DAY, MID-BOSS."

"Heh. Not like they will call moi by my true name much."

"It certainly is busy today, Ash."

"You said it. Still, do you think we should have accepted the challenge?"

"What else could we do? That Mid-Boss character invited us to their Netherworld."

"But we'll have to deal with that bratty kid again. And probably a whole pack of them."

"Don't worry, we'll be all right."

"I hope you're right."

"The knock down, drag out Netherworld VS Wisteria contest is about to begin dood! Sponsors for today are Master Lammington and Mid-Boss dood! The rules are simple! No fatalities, no dirty fighting and no picking on the Prinnies in the corners dood!"

"Back for more, eh? I'll show you all an Overlords' power!"

"Look at them, it's just a little kid and a Phantom. This is going to be a cake walk."

"I wouldn't put any bets on that Gargo. There's something about her."

"Introducing Team Overlord, dood! Overlord Laharl, Vassals Etna, Flonne, Thursday, Gordon and Jennifer and a horde of Prinnies on one side dood! They're arguably the winning team! On Team Marona, Marona and Ash, dood! Last team standing wins, dood!"

"How fast do you think it will take Laharl to realize that Marona and Ash are the new Braves?"

"About as fast as it took him to realize that you are his father, Vyers."

"Nuts. No bet then, Lammington?"

"No."

"Ready? FIGHT DOOD!"

"... wow. That's a lot of opponents Prince. I count up to fifty Phantoms and that's because she ran out of stuff... no, wait, they're throwing their weapons down and... whoa.. You sure you're up to this?"

"...Etna, remind me to GET my old man for setting this up."

"Don't worry, her love is divided two hundred ways!"

"Flonne, do us a favor and don't bring that up again. Lets take them down!"

"OW!"

"Quit being such a baby, Prince you lost. Fair and square."

"I wouldn't call it fair if you got thrown around like a demonic pinball."

"I'm sorry, but Mr. Mid-Boss told me to go all out."

"Oh yeah. Where IS my old man anyhow? I owe him a thrashing."

"He's gone back to Celestia with Master Lammington."

"He WHAT! That tears it! I'm gonna march up there and beat him up even if I have to tear through the Angelic Ranks again!"
