'Wha-what happened?' thought Davis as he slowly woke from his unintended nap.
Groaning the young teen sat up and instantly knew something was wrong. First off he didn't remember falling asleep in a large, yet slightly stiff, bed. Second he was sure as hell that his room wasn't a so large and dark that it could probably fit five Mammothmon's and still have room.
"Where the hell am I?" Davis asked once more right before he heard another groan and quickly turning to his side he saw the now awakening form of his partner Demiveemon.
"Davish? Where are we?" asked the in-training digimon as he to got a look at their new surrounding's since the last thing he remembered was they were in front of the computer lab and listening to their so-called friends plotting against them.
"I don't know buddy, but whoever brought us here better have a good damn reason or else their gonna be my new punching bag." growled the maroon haired boy right before hearing a chuckle from next to them before a scratchy voice then spoke.
"My just waking up and already to cause harm, yes you will make a fine Overlord master."
Turning towards the origin of the voice Davis and Demiveemon's eyes widened in shock as they saw an old imp looking creature they don't recognize looking at them with a sharp toothed smile.
"...Vee what digimon is that."
"...that's not a digimon Davish, but whatever it is he sure is gnarly." answered the small blue and white dragon.
"Well thank you horribly cute creature, my name is Gnarl, the minion master and advisor to the Overlord!" exclaimed the now named Gnarl as he bowed his head to the duo who are now even more confused.
"Wait a sec, what's a minion and who is this 'Overlord'?" asked Davis in confusion.
"Why I am a minion sire, a creature created from life force made solely to serve the Overlord, which is now you by the way." answered Gnarl making both other occupants jaws drop.
"Wait WHAT!? How can I be the Overlord!? I don't even know how we both got here!" demanded Davis as he was now figuring that he was just kidnapped to become some tyrant by this guy.
"I used a spell with the remaining magic of the tower to bring forth someone worthy to become the new Overlord. Our previous candidate was killed during his retrieval, but not to worry those stupid Browns that failed to bring him here safely were punished severely for their failure. But with you here now we finally have a worthy successor!" declared the old minion master as Davis and Demiveemon exchanged looks.
This was really weird, even for them. They needed to figure a way out and back home, but then Davis stopped that thought as he then remembered what the three in the computer room planned to do to him and he felt is rage ignite anew. He wanted payback and he was starting to think that being this 'Overlord' may help with that, maybe he should listen to what the old imp had to say?
"Well good for you but I don't exactly know what an Overlord is or what the job entails, so maybe you should start with telling me that before I decide to take the job." suggested Davis as his partner looked at him in absolute shock before he to was reminded of the betrayal and knew exactly what his partner had in mind and decided to stay quiet.
"Oh of course young master, of course! Well the Overlord in simple terms is the greatest being of evil to exist and is destined to conquer or destroy the world, its their own personal choice really. As for the history of the Overlord it goes aaaaall the way back to our first master and creator-" started off Gnarl as he then began to explain the intricacies of the title of Overlord and what exactly it entailed.
Davis and Demiveemon listened with rapt attention as with every word Gnarl spoke Davis was more enthralled and tempted to take such a position. Most would wonder why someone who had fought so hard for the light would suddenly turn towards the dark, but for Davis the answer was very simple, he had fought for the light and in turn its other protectors had sought to betray him, but as a lord of Evil he would be servant to none and in turn everyone would serve him! With the power of the Overlord he could make all those who had wronged and looked down on him pay with interest!
So after Gnarl finished his little history lesson, Davis sat back and seemed to contemplate taking the position for a moment though he his decisions was already made halfway through. Really it was no contest by this point and he already knew Demiveemon would follow with him so there was nothing to stop him from accepting. Though the thought of Kari made him esitate for but a second he pushed those thoughts aside, his personal feelings could have no effect on his decision as this was more than simple revenge, it was justice for his mistreatment in the boys eyes that was long overdue and he would not be denied!
"I accept the position Gnarl. Now where do we begin?"
Gnarl shook in excitement as now they had a new Overlord, now they only needed one more thing and the bestowing of the title would be complete.
"Very good master! Now all we need to do is give you this." declared Gnarl as he reached into his cloak to bring out a large, spiked, black metal gauntlet with a bright orange jewel imbedded on the back of the hand. In all honesty, Davis found the object badass looking as well as way too big for him. He was also wondering how Gnar was hiding it in those rags and he hadn't noticed it before but decided not to question it as he took a hold of the surprisingly light object.
Giving the minion master a small look of uncertainty, Davis slid his left hand into the gauntlet and almost instantly falt something lock onto said appendage as the boy felt a hug amount of power flood into him while he began to glow with a black aura that had small spots of blue, red and gold in the mix.
Davis wasn't the only one effected however as Demiveemon was also enveloped in the same swirling mass of energy. Nearby, Davis schoolbag lay after being placed there when he was first brought into the room, from said bag a glow could be seen as all of a sudden the boys D3 digivice shot from the bag and into the swirling mass of magic as the minion master could only look on in complete shock and awe as this had never happened before. He couldn't help but be curious on this new development.
Then with a resounding gust of wind that made the aged minion cover his eyes briefly, the vortex of colors was gone. Taking a curious peak Gnarl could not help but gape at the drastic changes the boy had gone though.
Davis was no longer the respectable five foot four for his age, but rather he had grown to an impressive five foot ten and was well muscled from what could be seen. His entire form was donned in ebony black armor but not the typical wear the Overlord would have, no this armor was made up of many smooth plates with any places not covered being covered by a type of dark red chainmail that almost resembled dragon scales. On the chest were three strange symbol in a triangle that Gnarl could not recognize (symbols of Courage, Friendship and Miracles). The helmet was very unique as instead of covering the entire face it only covered the top half of the boy's head while leaving his defined jaw exposed and letting his now shoulder length maroon hair fall freely as a sword like horns sprouted from the top of the helm with a more lightning bolt shaped one sprouting straight out almost like a rhino's. Even the Gauntlet itself had changed as instead of the diamond shaped orange jewel on the back of the hand, a rectangular orange gem now stretched across the back of the forearm, looking more like some type of screen rather than the signature gem.
Davis wasn't eh only one who went through a change though as Demiveemon has gone through his own transformation. For one he had apparently digivolved and was now Veemon but very different appearance wise. For one his usual blue scales has shifted to a more crimson color and his typical white scales had changed to more of a dark grey. The typical V symbol on his forehead had taken a sharper edge and was now black, the horn on the tip of his nose had also been given a serrated edge and was joined by two more horn sprouting from his forehead giving him a more draconic appearance than before.
Then at once both new figures opened their eyes to show Davis' new fiery red glowing eyes and Veemon's slit golden glowing eyes respectively.
Lifting his new gauntlet to eye level, Davis examined the object and his new form with a sense of curiosity and excitement as his partner did the same. He could feel all the new power just boiling under the surface and was more than happy with the changes. Veemon was as well thankful for the upgrade and was admiring his new form appreciatively.
"Well these are some promising changes, wouldn't you agree Veemon?" asked Davis in a much deeper voice as he looked down at his changed digimon partner as said partner returned the look with a fanged smirk.
"I can't complain, oh and the names Bloodveemon now." answered the now Rookie level digimon with glee and his voice which also sounded a bit deeper.
"I must say master that these changes are... unexpected, but very welcome! In all my years I have never seen such a transformation when a new Overlord put on the gauntlet." voiced Gnarl with great enthusiasm.
"That just proves how truly unique I am, not like there was any doubt. Now enough talking, we have work to do Gnarl and I know just where to start." declared Davis as he started to walk back towards the throne room where he would then travel to his first destination on his path of conquest.
"Oh of course sire, but may I ask what you first plan to do? Maybe you would like to learn more about the minion horde's before setting off to acquire the other hives?" suggested Gnarl as he and BV (Bloodveemon) followed after the young teen.
"No. I am going to the Wasteland as you have called it." revealed Davis as his words had Gnarl stumble for a moment before rushing to catch up with his new master.
"But sire is that truly a wise idea? Wouldn't it be best to retrieve the other minion hives and repair the tower beforehand?"
"This is more important than that. You told me that the Wasteland was once the lands ruled by the third Overlord before the Great Cataclysm that turned it into what it is now. Also you said that if anywhere, that is where the Tower Heart would be and I intend to find it, a source of power like that cannot be left alone and it would be a great help to us." explained the new Overlord as he was more than determined to acquire the legendary artifact for himself.
Gnarl could not say anything else as he couldn't fault his Overlord's logic. Plus, with the Tower Heart back the Tower's magical power would skyrocket and that was more than welcome at this time. So instead he helped lead the Overlord towards the main room where the spawning pool lay and would take the Overlord to his wanted destination.
"So this is where the 'Great Cataclysm' happened huh? Yeah I can see it." said BV as he and Davis stared at the desolate landscape filled with glowing blue pools of liquid that Gnarl had told them was tainted magic.
Behind the duo was five Brown minions armed with clubs as they waited for their new masters orders. They were very eager to cause some mayhem after all. But they stayed behind their master, who now donned a large serrated sword, not wanting him to use that mighty weapon upon them.
Davis was abut to respond to his partner, but suddenly his gauntlet began to hum and curiously he brought the item up to see what was wrong with it. As soon as it was eye level the orange gem glowed brightly before a holographic screen was displayed about an inch above the gem. Surprised by this unexpected, but not unwelcome, feature Davis looked at what appeared to be a map of the area they were in before seeing a few highlighted points.
"Hmm, maybe this will be easier than I originally thought." said Davis with a grin that revealed his slightly longer and sharpened canines as he lead his little troupe to the closest point.
It was a coupe of hours later that Davis, BV and the minions returned to the Netherworld Tower with quite the haul in the form of a minion totem, which meant Davis could now command and summon more minions in the field, a spellstone which contained the Evil Presence spell, and several shards of the Tower Heart. Now here the new Overlord and BV stood with Gnarl as they watched the pieces of the once great artifact float through the air above the spawning pit.
"I must say sire, for your first outing this is quite the haul, though it seems you weren't quite able to discover all of the pieces of the Heart as you had once hoped." stated Gnarl before hearing the new Overlord snort in amusement.
"Oh Gnarl, my goal was never to acquire all the pieces right from the get-go like that, no I just needed a majority of them so I could do this," declared Davis as he lifted his gauntlet clad hand and shot his newly acquired spell at the shards.
He was using his Evil Presence spell to bind the shard's, and hopefully, the Tower Heart itself to his will. If he could do that he could command the remaining pieces to converge and the ones he already possessed and do the rest of the job for him.
The new Overlord kept up his spell for close to an hour, with sweat dripping from his brow and down his chin from the strain of using his newly acquired magical reserves for such an extended period of time. Still, in the end his efforts were rewarded as the remaining shards of the Heart began to appear one by one until finally they were all together. From there thing's took their natural course since the shard's, in a flash of light came together to now reveal the now fiery red, black and gold orb that was the Tower Heart in all of it's glory.
However, before Davis could savor the success of his little 'experiment', something strange began to happen with the minions around him. Looking over Gnarl and the few Browns within the room he saw them go through small, but noticeable changes. For one, their usual wrinkled skin became a lot smoother and slightly scaly like that of a reptiles, second was their figures seemed to bulge a bit and gain more muscle while still keeping their gangly appearance. The final change came in the form of the three crests he now bore being branded on their foreheads.
The new Overlord was about to question Gnarl on these changes but another humming from his Gauntlet, similar to the one from when he was in the Wasteland, stopped him. Bringing the item up once more, and wondering what it could possibly want now, Davis unintentionally had the screen looking over one of the newly changed Browns.
As soon as he did the screen seemed to take a picture of the new minion before displaying an info box right next to said picture that Davis began to read with a bit of wonderment.
"'Minionmon, a Rookie level digimon and main fighting force of the Overlord. Not very known for their brains they make up for it with extreme devotion and savagery while using their Club Crusher and Savage Horde attacks to overwhelm their enemies.' Well looks like my tampering with the Tower Heart, combined with my D3 fusing with the Gauntlet not only changed you BV but also turned the minions into digimon as well." proclaimed Davis with glee in his voice as his partner looked on at the new Digimon in interest.
"So what's on the agenda now Davis now that we got our new and improved army?" asked the small dragon curiously.
"Now we build upon those numbers by collecting the other minion hives, but first I think we should train in order to get a handle on our new abilities as well as the ones our new minions now possess. After that I think we should pay a visit to that little town our supposed to be Overlord had lived in, Nordberg I think Gnarl called it? We may not have known the kid but I don't think it's fair to let those peasants get away with basically sacrificing a child to save their own hides, don't you think BV?" asked Davis as an absolutely predatory grin split his face as his eyes shined briefly.
"Oh no that just won't do at all partner, not at all." replied BV with a matching grin and flashing eyes that actually brought tears to Gnarl's own eyes from the bloodlust being radiated from that one grin and look.
Evil really had found a way.
