Chapter 2
A Family Dispute
(Netherworld Past)
Laharl sits in his throne room, he yawns loudly which is followed by a shout which echoes through out the Overlords Castle
"ETNA GET YOUR ASS IN HERE NOW"
Laharl waits impatiently for his not so loyal Vassal to come to his call. After a few minutes Etna enters looking less than happy
"You called prince"
"Took you long enough… but now you're here find something to keep me entertained"
"Why don't you go into the item world prince you haven't been there for so long."
"There is a reason for that Etna…" he pulls out his sword and shows it to her "I have already maxed out the power of this sword… and my armour before you say anything"
"Well don't blame me prince it is your fault you spent 10 days straight travelling through your weapon."
Flonne comes running in to the throne room.
"Laharl there is something you must see…"
"What is it you little love freak"
"Someone just came through the dimensional gate and passed out."
"So?"
"Don't you care that he is hurt"
"If he is hurt he honestly mustn't be very strong. It is his own problem."
Etna getting an idea
"You know prince, he could have been hurt by something powerful, which could be just the cure you require for your boredom."
"Your right Etna, I think I will go."
Laharl exits the throne room and walks towards the Dimensional Portal.
(Dimensional Portal)"So where is this demon, Flonne?"
"I asked a bunch of prinnies to take him to the hospital"
"YOU WHAT, NOW IT IS GOING TO COST ME MONEY TO FIND OUT WHAT ATTACKED HIM"
Flonne cringes at Laharls shouting. The young overlord heads into the hospital and pays the fee. He is lead towards the back of the hospital. He sees the young demon lying on a bed, Laharl thinks to himself
'That kid forced me to pay 150,000 hell for his treatment… no way he is that powerful… but if he is I will make him my Vassal and he will be a helpful ally.'
"Nurse heal him now I have paid the fee"
"Yes sir"
A light of the healing energy surrounds the young demon. Not long after the light had appeared the light vanishes and Laharl looks on as the demon sits up. Chaos looks around wondering where he is, he thinks to himself
'Where am I? This looks like the hospital in the overlord's castle but it is different some how. Where are the colours… this is just so bland and miserable…'
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, so the child awakens from his slumber. Tell me why are you in my castle"
Chaos turns to see Laharl standing basically behind him.
"D…" he stops himself from saying dad and changes what he is saying "damn, that was one rough trip… remind me never travel more than a short distance via one of those dimensional gates again"
"I don't care about that tell me where you came from and why you are here"
"I came from a long way away, and I'm here because I want to join your army"
Laharl looks slight disappointed but then remembers about how strong the kid is
"Ok I will let you join but first I want you to prove you worth… you will fight me… and if I'm impressed with your power then I will allow you to join my army."
Laharl leaves and Chaos follows, he reads everything, which is up on the walls trying to find the date to make sure that he is in the right time period. He remember the gate keeper telling him that he cannot be sent to the exact date but it will be close to that time. As they exit the hospital Chaos notices a sign on the side of the rosemary shop saying
'7000th birthday celebration of King Laharl, Overlord of the Nether World to be held on the 29th December, all demons and Vassals are required to be there.'
'So I'm a few months early… the seraph doesn't call Larhal to Celestia until half way through his 7000th year of living'
"Hurry up I don't have all day"
'Mum was right he was a pain in the ass when he was younger'
Chaos runs over and joins Laharl, Etna and Flonne by the dimensional gate which is now open
"We are going to a location we can fight without been disturbed."
"Lead the way my Lord"
Laharl walks through followed by Chaos. Etna stops Flonne a second
"What do you think of the kid?"
"I don't know, there is just something about him which doesn't feel right"
"What isn't right about him… he just has the feel of any other demon…"
"I guess your right… but it isn't everyday someone asks to work for Laharl."
"Just ignore those feelings Flonne… plus if this isn't on the level then the prince will slaughter him where he stands."
Etna enters the portal and Flonne follows
(A DESERT 2000 MILES AWAY FROM THE OVERLORDS CASTLE)
Flonne walks through the portal to see Laharl and Chaos already in their fighting stance ready to start their fight. Chaos calls to Laharl
"What do you say about a little ante for this fight?"
"ANTE?"
"If I win I become and new overlord, if you win I become your loyal vassal"
"WHAT YOU WANT MY TITLE OF OVERLORD… THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN, I WILL DEFEAT YOU AND I WILL MAKE YOU MY VASSAL… FOR THIS INSULT I WILL MAKE YOU DO MORE DEMEANING WORK THAN THE PRINNIES DO"
Chaos smiles and thinks to himself
'I don't know how strong this Laharl is… if I find he is a lot weaker than me I will throw the fight… but what ever happens I have to let him win and at the same time give it my all'
Chaos launches the first attack attempting to punch Laharl, the OverLord jumps out the way and draws his sword charges in attempting to cut Chaos in two. This comes to very little as Chaos grabs the blade mid swing and kicks Laharl away, the sword remains in his hand. Chaos looks at the sword for a second before throwing it away
"Lets be serious now Laharl… we fight using are own strength not the strength we borrow from weapons…"
Chaos takes a pair of gloves out of his pocket and throws them away. Laharl looks as the gloves hit the ground
"Those are god hands… but where did you get them from?"
"There just something I found when I went slumming in a legendary weapon one day"
"You go slumming in legendary weapons? Just how powerful are you?"
"I'm weak compared to most the demons where I come from…"
"That's it you will not mock me…"
Laharl charges in but Chaos dodges out the way grabbing the end of the scarf and starts to spin around finally letting go sending Laharl head first into a large rock.
"Your never going to beat me fighting with pure anger… when your angry you become reckless… when your calm you will be unstoppable."
Laharl getting up growls at Chaos' comment but remembers his father saying something along those lines to him. He walks forward calmly laughing in his usual manner, he is face to face with Chaos when he says
"Your right… but that was the biggest mistake you will ever make… I will not make the same error twice… that is a guarantee"
Before Chaos can even react Laharl levels him with a right hand, followed by a series of kicks. Chaos rolls back and charges at Laharl punching him. The 2 exchange punches for close to an hour before backing off to catch their breath. Chaos smirking at the fact his father is stronger than he imagined without even using a percentage of his full power. Chaos knew that he still had a lot of power but it would be all about who uses their power the most wisely.
Chaos moves his foot just slightly and Laharl takes his advantage striking at Chaos with everything he has. Chaos attempts to dodge but is highly unsuccessful in his attempt and gets pummelled. Finally laharl gets to sweep Chaos' legs but now seeking some way out of the pummelling Chaos does a perfectly executed back flip allowing him to dodge, he then comes back at Laharl with powerful punch which doesn't even phase the overlord. Chaos' eyes widen and jump's back at the same time raises both arms in the air gathering the dark energies that surround him. Chaos shouts at the top of his voice
"FLASH" he lowers his arms to reveal a ball of dark energy
"FLARE" he cups his hands together in front of him
"BLAST" he uses a burst of energy to send the dark energy ball at Laharl
Laharl seeing this charges his Mana quickly and shouts
"OVERLORD WRATH" he releases the mana burst and the 2 attacks hit there destined targets with little trouble.
(With Etna and Flonne)
"Not bad, this kid is matching the prince move for move… and that last attack was pretty impressive"
"Etna don't tell me your routing for laharls opponent"
"Of course not but I wouldn't mind it if this kid won… I don't think he would make a bad overlord."
"ETNA"
"It was a joke… god flonne lighten up will you"
"I will not… it is obvious that this is a new rival for Laharl to conquer using the power of love" the fire of passion burns in her eyes as flonne talks about the power of love
"Yeah right Flonne, and after he has used the power of love, the prince is going to stop fighting and discuss with this kid about dropping there deal and the kid becoming the princes newest vassal with a huge pay check involved."
"You really think so Etna?"
Etna sweat drops "sometimes you are so gullible"
(Back to the Battle)
The smoke clears from around the 2 fighters to reveal Chaos standing with his arms crossed looking as though he hasn't even been touched, the only evidence that he has is his shirt is now ripped to shreds. Laharl is standing much the same way with just his scarf shredded. Chaos rips the shirt from his body and spreads out his wings as far as they will go, Laharl takes his scarf off and spreads out his wings.
Chaos 'that last shot took it out of me… nothing is working and I only have a few more tricks up my sleeve…'
Laharl 'what the hell… is this kid weak or is he holding back… I know he must be holding something back… but that last move of his wasn't worth the power it must have taken him to use. I hardy felt it. Is this some kind of trick…or a very bad joke'
(Flonne and Etna)
"Oh my god flonne… is it me or are those wings on the kids back angel wings"
"Yes… but I have never seen black wings on any angel"
"Looks at the princes wings… now they are what real demon wings are meant to be like"
Flonne gasps at the sight of the young Overlords wings, they look moth eaten and like they are made out of bone instead of feathers. "I don't believe it… this is the first time I have seen Laharls wings… until this point I would of sworn he didn't have any… I guess I was wrong."
"You're not the only one… but it is about time the prince removed that scarf… I just pray to god I'm not the one who has to repair that… even if he tells me to I will have the Prinnies do the work for me"
"Etna, you should not pass on your work to the already over burdened Prinnies"
"I won't" 'at least not straight away'
(Back at the battle)
"Just who are you kid… are you an angel or a demon?"
Chaos smirks
"All I will tell is my name is Chaos… to find out anymore you will have to defeat me"
"Fine then Chaos, it is about time we went all out here… I know you have some how learnt to conceal your mana power but it is about time you showed your full power so we can fight properly"
'How did he know I was masking my power? Well he is the overlord and dad did say that they got a lot of additional powers when they took the throne' "fine then Laharl, if you want to see my full mana power you best be prepared to use 100 of your own power." 'You asked for this… its not often that I use this technique it is usually to risky to my own life… not just my opponents'
Chaos clenches his fist and focus on his mana, he is surrounded by an orb of dark energy, the power of the orb growing constantly. The orb when it reaches a level of power great enough explodes releasing a light so bright that it engulfs the entire area for over 10 miles in all directions. The light subsides to show a new demon in the spot where Chaos had been, this demon is almost double the height of Chaos and his muscles are so bulked out he could give the Incredible Hulk a run for his money in a muscle contest. (A/N I do not own the Incredible Hulk or anything from marvel comics). Laharl looks at the demon and then glazes into the aura of mana around the beast
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? I WAS FIGHTING THAT PUNK KID CHAOS… WHERE THE HELL DID HE GO?"
The demon laughs loudly and spreads out its almighty wings, which are close to 3 times the size of Chaos's. Laharl notices the angelic looking wings and his eyes widen
"YOUR CHAOS… BUT HOW DID YOU DO THAT? I HAVE NEVER HEAR OF A DEMON BEEN ABLE TO SHAPE SHIFT BEFORE… EXCEPT MAYBE PRAM… BUT NO ONE EVER WITNESSED THAT TRANSFORMATION…" Laharl calms himself down "never the less, I shall defeat you… my mana power is still greater than yours AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
'How did he do that… no matter I will defeat him and then get an answer to how he is able to do that'
Laharl is surrounded by a huge mana aura and Chaos now in this new form looks scared.
'How… in this form I am 5 times more powerful than normal… but… he is still at least 10 times my power easily… and I don't think that's his maximum.'
Chaos not wanting to wait for his opponent to attack him, recklessly rushes in and attempts to hit Laharl, the young overlord dodges out the way of the punch but fails to dodge a kick from the buffed out Chaos. Laharl taking the kick decides to play along with this fight to find out what this new buffed out form is capable of doing, playing along allows the kick to knock him across the floor.
'That kick had more power in it than I thought… maybe I should take this kid seriously'
Laharl gets to his feet and changes up his mana before charging in just as he punches his hand bursts into flames
"BLAZING KNUCKLE"
The flames engulf the body of Chaos, as laharl steps back Chaos falls to the floor looking slightly burnt. Before he hits the floor Chaos spins round and takes the legs out from under the overlord at the same time kicking Laharl in the air, Chaos soon follows into the air grabbing Laharl by his hair and swings him around. Laharl not liking this situation punches Chaos in the face and spreads his wings to keep him a float. The 2 now hovering above the battlefield are both smiling demonically at each other due to the enjoyment they are going out of the fight.
"Just because you bulked up doesn't mean that you are anything compared to me… all you have done is handed me this victory on a silver platter"
'Those muscles may scare a human or a low level demon but I know that mana power is all that matters and his is still extremely low… I see why I had to pay so much in the hospital though. His mana power may be low but it is still higher than the average demon'
"If that's what you think then prove it…"
'I hope to hell that he doesn't use his meteor impact… there is no way to survive… his Overlords Wrath took almost everything I had…'
"I will… when I get bored of this fight I will"
'That should draw him into attacking and when he does I will hit him with the Meteor Impact'
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT… Laharl it is time to end this… and I have the perfect move to do it… MULTIPLEX"
'I need to be careful here… if I do this wrong it is going to drain me of all my power'
3 exact copies of Chaos appear lined up in a row. Laharl just laughs "nice trick… there is no way those 3 other versions of you are real… come on they don't even have any mana power…"
"They don't need it… so long as I'm alive they have unlimited mana power"
"WHAT THAT IS UNREAL… wait if they are sucking your mana power…" Laharl gets his evil smile back "I will call your bluff with this move and show you what unlimited power truly is…"
'I should have guessed that his attack was nothing… those 3 copies will stuck him dry of power and then he will be easy picking'
Chaos doesn't give Laharl a chance to use any move and charges in with all 3 copies joining his attack, they surround Laharl and attack from all directions. The young overlord does his best to block the attacks but soon fall victim to the 4 on one mugging. The 4 Chaos' each take up points around Laharl and raise their arms in the air, the 4 shout out at the same time moving in unison
"FLASH FLARE BLAST"
The 4 mana blasts all strike Laharl at the same time. Chaos witnesses the body of Laharl falling to the floor, he as his clones go down to check whether Laharl is finished or not. on the way down unbeknownst to Chaos, Laharl is planning for his shot at finishing the fight and has called upon a great meteor to hit Chaos taking out both him and his clones. Chaos notices to late as laharl flips from the ground and starts running for cover laughing in the evil way he laughs, Chaos turns to look up as the meteor obliterates the 3 copies with out any trouble. The young prince accepts his fate of been beaten in this fight and allows himself to be hit with the meteor which explodes on contact sending an unconscious Chaos plummeting to the floor.
(Multiple hours later)
Chaos awakens on a bed in the hospital with Etna and Flonne standing over him. Etna with an evil grin creeping on her face says
"Come on now kid, the prince wants to speak to you…"
Chaos groans and remembers what happened in the fight before attempting to knock himself out. Etna and Flonne stop him and with the help of most the prinnies in the castle and drag Chaos' still unhealed body to the throne room. The prinnies let Chaos drop down in front of the Overlord who is still laughing after his, what he claimed was an easy, victory. Laharl has his scarf back on, which has been replaced since the condition of the one he was wearing before was beyond repair.
"Now tell me kid, what the hell was that transformation you used against me? And I want to know about those wings you have… you are a demon yet you have angel wings…"
"I guess you deserve to know about the transformation but I don't know what you're talking about with the angel wings comment…"
"YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT I MEAN… THOSE WINGS ON YOUR BACK ARE NOT WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT A DEMON TO HAVE… THEY ARE THE WINGS ANGELS HAVE…"
"Oh that… well first they are fallen angel wings… and I have them because…" thinking quickly "I am a fallen angel…"
"YOU ARE WHAT? FLONNE DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?"
The fallen angel steps forward and looks at Chaos trying to find the usual traces of angelic markings. She finds non but looks into Chaos' eyes and sees something, which only an angel could have. She sees emotion
"Laharl I think he is telling the truth… there is something in his eyes which shows me he is"
"He best be telling the truth for his sake… now kid tell me about that transformation… I know that for a fact no Angel can do that…"
"Your right normally an angel can't but I can… it is something which has taken me close to 1000 years to master."
"How old are you kid"
"About 2000 years old…"
"WHAT? Only 2000 years and you are that powerful… that is impossible… forget it that doesn't matter just tell me how you are able to do that transformation trick of yours…"
"If you want to know so badly I will tell you but it is a long story…"
"I don't care just tell me"
"I will but I want to know something first… how did you know how to stop my multiplex technique… I thought it was perfect…"
"It was simple kid… when you said those clones draw from your mana to give them there power it was obvious that they were seriously weakening you. But to be able to get to you I had to bring you into a fool sense of security and attack you and your clones at the same time… basic battle strategy… even a baby demon could of defeated you… you were just so weak… Now tell me your story"
'I was weak? I should of realised that… I will not use Multiplex again until I can find away to master it. The Laharl that is my father was right… I am weak… and I always will be. Too much caring, I have the true weakness of an angel, I could never finish the job if it came to killing. I use to many fancy moves. Come to think about it, even my flash flare blast is just a glorified version of the basic mana blast. I should never of taken that 100 years of training with Midboss, everything he taught me was just a glorified version of the basic moves. If I am to help Laharl here I will need become stronger… this fight has shown me that… I guess all that time I spent studying was a waste of time… Priere always told me that… I should have listened to her.
Now how am I going to tell this story to Laharl, a lot of it involves basically telling him everything… maybe if I leave out the fact that he was the one which convinced me to learn it. I also have to leave out that it was here at the overlord's castle. Who were the ruling Overlords in this time? Of course Laharl, Pram the oracle, Lord Zetta… who else… no Seedle is an Underlord, Babylon… that's it I will say I used to work for Babylon, even if Laharl checks up on it then he will never find out… that old dragon can't remember what he did 10 seconds after he did it. So there is no way he would remember a simple soldier in his army…but the problem with that is a lot of Babylon's troops were incredibly weak… Zetta would be the best choice… almost all his demon warriors were unstoppable when it came to combat. And with the unending numbers in Zetta's army there is no way he would know who the hell was in it…'
Chaos gets into a sitting position and prepares to tell the story.
