Author's notes: I found myself focusing more on the Disgaea cast rather than the only one R+V character that is there. I'll try to make Tsukune more involved this time around as the Disgaea 4 cast list is fairly long. New OC. Some partial referencing and longest work to date.

Character skills are noted with [skill]. Yes since this is based off an SRPG.

Episode 3: The Paths of Love

Two days later Tsukune is now returning to his usual work routine at Hades. Of course he has been working out to keep up his strength. He does 5000 push-ups, 9999 sit-ups, and aims to do at least 10000 more points of damage than he could do yesterday.

Doing this on a daily basis increased Tsukune levels by 100. New techniques learned:

Bakuryuujin: A anti air burst of youki to repel enemies. Weaker ones are crushed.

Speed Rush v2: A more overpowered version of his basic speed rush.

He also gained new evilties.

Vow to Protect: Battle abilities increase by 150% when allies are wounded.

Shinzo Awakening: At 20% hp or less; all parameters increase by 2x however slowly drains sp and hp over time. Upon activation restores hp to 100%. Drain continues until all enemies are defeated.

After his shift was over and he was about to clean up; Fenrich came over to Tsukune with a worried look on his face. "Hey, have you seen our Lord?" Fenrich asked. Before Tsukune could reply he suddenly remembered what Valvatorez and Artina told them.

We're going to the human world for a bit. Do not let Fenrich know about this or anyone else that ask. Should anyone find out where we're going I'll lock you in the deepest reaches of Hades.

Was what Valvatorez said to him before he left. "No, I have not seen him around Fenrich-sempai." Tsukune tried to respond as naturally as he could. "But still, I haven't seen him or that thief angel around." Fenrich said.

While they were talking a young girl wearing a prinny hat appeared. "Hey Fenfen, it's been awhile." the girl greeted Fenrich casually. Fenrich looked annoyed to see the girl. "Whelp, I have better things to do than waste time on your petty schemes. Also by the way have you accepted that you died and became a prinny yet?" he said coldly.

"Now, now Fenfen; is this how you treat a friend you haven't seen in a year?" she said. "Is that a new recruit next to you?" she asked again. "Unfortunately yes." Fenrich replied. "My lord has now made a foolish promise to train him to be able to save his girlfriend. Now he is nowhere to be seen." he said still looking displeased at the current situation.

The girl introduced herself to Tsukune. She is Fuka Kazamatsuri. A 9th grader who was killed by a demon her father created and failed to become a prinny. "I'm Aono Tsukune, 2nd year at the Youkai Gakuen. Nice to meet you." Tsukune returned the greeting. Obviously Fuka still doesn't admit the fact that she died and goes into a series of denials.

But Fuka is a very sharp person despite her appearances. She asked Tsukune where Valvatorez went. Tsukune said, "I don't know." His eyes clearly gave him away as Fuka easily knows that something is wrong.

"You're lying aren't you?" she pointed her baseball bat him Tsukune's chest. Fenrich who had caught on started taking on a angrier look. Being pressured by both Fuka and Fenrich; both who are willing to kill to delve deeper into the matter.

Tsukune quickly gave in and said, "I am not supposed to let anyone know about this. But, Valvatorez-sempai and Artina-san both went off to the human world together." Tsukune puts his face down in failure.

"EH!" Fenrich and Fuka shouted. "What could my Lord possibly be doing with that thief angel in the human world?" Fenrich shouted. Fuka sighed. "Fenfen you REALLY don't get it do you?" she swings her bat forward and shouted, "They must be on their HONEYMOON!"

Both Tsukune and Fenrich both were pushed back by the sudden shock. "Impossible! My Lord would never do such a." before Fenrich could finish his sentence he remembered what occurred two days ago and through Tsukune retelling what happened, he dropped his head low and sighed.

Tsukune told Fuka what had happened two days ago and how he helped Artina and Valvatorez get together. "Good job Tsu-kun." she held thumbs up for Tsukune. "Well I never recalled them having a marriage yet. So I think your idea of them on a honeymoon is a bit overreactive." Tsukune said.

Tsukune tried to discourage Fenrich and Fuka from following them to the human world, but they were both too excited to stop. One from wanting to see their love flourish and probably the other one wants to stop it no matter what.

Meanwhile in the human world

Well it should be about time for them to follow. Valvatorez thinks to himself as he walks with Artina toward their destination.

Back to Hades

The 3 of them approached the dimenion guide. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but the portal has stopped working. It is restricted with a requirement of having at least 1 member of your party being a vampire." said the gatekeeper.

"Damn, vampires are extremely rare to find." Fenrich said in disbelief. "Vampires make up only 0.1% of the Netherworld's population. For all we know my Lord may be the only vampire around."

"It's alright, I'll open the gate." Tsukune said. As soon as he said that he awakened his powers. Tsukune's title changed to [Part-time Vampire]. "Wow!" Fuka remarked. "You never told me you were a vampire." she stared in amazement.

"I never told you that I got my powers from a vampire right?" Tsukune chuckled lightly. Afterwards they pass through the gate to a vast green field. The scenery was as green as the eye could see filled with flowers, clean air, and blue skies.

"Valzy must be on a romantic date with Artina!" Fuka shouted trying to suppress her excitement. "I smell their scent. They're not far from here." Fenrich stated.

"Where are we in the human world anyway?" Tsukune asked. The area around them does not seem to be Japan, more like some European place. "Anyway, the scent leads to that village over there." Fenrich answered coolly.

On the way over to the village the party feels a wave of malice wash over them. "Youkai!" Tsukune shouted. The party was confronted by a group of 3 youkai. "Natives of the human world huh." Fenrich is still calm.

Fuka sighed, "Why do we have to do this every time we go somewhere." The group got into battle stance. The three monsters were identified: a troll, a hybrid, and slime. Tsukune and his party initiated combat first.

Tsukune used [Speed Rush V2] on the hybrid doing massive damage. The hybrid dropped dead before his allies could react. Fenrich dashed at lightning speed and got behind the troll and used [Swift Power] to quickly knock him down.

Fuka pulls a bomb out of nowhere and hits it at the slime with her baseball bat blowing it up to pieces. "Who are these guys?" Fuka asked. "If they are not from the Netherworld then where could they come from?" she looked at Tsukune waiting for an answer.

Tsukune told them that they were members of Fairy Tale. An organization of various youkai and ayashi planning on world domination. They are the sole reason Tsukune went to Valvatorez for training, underwent human modification, and his friend being taken.

The group ponders why there are Fairy Tale members out here in the middle of the countryside. Tsukune cannot ignore this as he heads to the village.

Meanwhile at the village

Valvatorez and Artina arrived at the village entrance. "I'm surprised this place didn't change in 400 years." Artina said. "It must be preserved as a historical or sentimental site. Humans I still won't understand their logic, but still this brings back memories." Valvatorez said that while reminiscing about the past.

The two enter the village unaware that they were being watched from the shadows.

Back to the party

As Tsukune and his party arrived at the entrance they were greeted with opposition from more Fairy Tale monsters. This time there are 5 of them: a centipede, a bigger troll, a harpy, and two lizard men.

"Get ready." Tsukune gets into his fighting stance. The party defeats the enemies in a flurry of punches, slashes, and kicks. "They're rather weak." Fuka remarked as she finishes off the last one. "No it's just that we're too strong." Fenrich replied.

Tsukune searched for clues as to what Fairy Tale was doing here. Fenrich's nose pointed them towards the village chapel. "Oh! The chapel! They are surely going to get married there." Fuka's excitement was about to climax. The group presses on.

In the Chapel

"This was where we first met isn't it Artina?" Valvatorez spoke deeply. At this chapel, where the two first met; all of their memories are returning to that fateful encounter. At this place 400 years ago Valvatorez and Artina met.

Valvatorez tried to drink Artina's blood however Artina showed no fear of him, but rather she sympathized with him and pitied that he is forced to drink human blood to live.

Valvatorez the Tyrant was prideful and refused to drink the blood of humans that have no fear of the night. On that day he promised Artina that he shall not drink the blood of any others until he scares her and drinks hers.

Of course during their battle with Fear the Great; Artina has already seen the image of despair; a world without Valvatorez. "Mr. Vampire you still have not kept your promise even after all this time." Artina said softly.

"I know I made a promise to drink your blood and nobody else's afterwards, but still I want my last drink to be as fulfilling and satisfying as possible." Valvatorez responds with a gentle look on his eyes. The two of them embrace each other in the chapel.

Upon the main wall there is a stained glass portrait of a regal looking man in an elegant suit. That man was Tyrant Valvatorez. "If I can be with you, I don't need my powers back. In fact I have never regretted losing my power back. Losing my power I discovered sardines a wonderful source of nutrition." he said casually.

"Please, I'm trying to be serious here." Artina pleaded. "I don't want to be the chain that holds you back from being your true self again."

Valvatorez was hesitant at first, but after seeing Artina's pure blue eyes his doubt faded away. Artina's resolve was strong and she was ready to feel Valvatorez's 400 year long thirst for blood.

Just as Valvatorez moves his fangs over her neck; the windows on the sides shattered and monsters were storming the chapel. "I'll take care of this." Valvatorez quickly pushed Artina behind him and confronted the enemies.

GAWRRR The monsters all jump Valvatorez. He quickly beats them down quickly with his fists, but more just come.

Back to the party

The party heard the sounds of a battle coming from inside the chapel and they rushed to the scene. They saw Valvatorez beating down hordes of youkai with Artina behind him giving supporting fire. "My Lord!" Fenrich shouted as he charges in from behind. Fenrich dispatches all enemies in his path as he makes his way towards Valvatorez.

"My lord you are not injured are you?" Fenrich was worried. Valvatorez relied, "It will take more than this to beat me." The teamwork between Fenrich and Valvatorez was flawless as they easily defeat enemy after enemy without leaving themselves open at all.

After 30 minutes of endless brawling the youkai were all dead. "Well I was hoping you could keep a secret for a little bit longer." Valvatorez said with a annoyed look in his eyes. "And you brought the delusional lass along with you."

"Hey! I'm here to see the love between you and Artina. There's no way I could ever let this chance pass by. Oh, if only Desco was here with me to see this." Fuka speaks excitedly.

"No matter how much you may try to think, believe, or delude yourself that we're here so much for pleasure you are wrong." Valvatorez goes into his dramatic pose. Obviously he is in denial or just likes making special effects with his cape.

"We're here to crack down on a human world organization that is currently trying to breach the Netherworld. Hugo was worried about it and asked me to go investigate. Lastly the only reason Artina came along was that the place we're investigating is Artina's hometown." Valvatorez tries to explain his case to the crew.

The party has their suspicions about the village. About why there are no villagers around and how it remained the way it was 400 years ago.

[Valvatorez and Artina rejoin the party.]

They left the chapel to find a person accompanied by four bouncers (a Disgaea class). The enemies gave off a powerful battle aura. "I am Edward Cullenski. Chief of Fairy Tale's European outpost." the person introduced himself.

"This is Fairy Tale's outpost?" Tsukune said in bewilderment. Edward explained that a special barrier was used to keep suspicion away. The barrier was formed naturally from the strong natural energies or feelings of the area. The village from 400 years ago was formed because of the lasting memories of Valvatorez and Artina.

Upon closer inspection the party sees several communications devices in the houses along with weapons storage. "I am afraid I cannot let you leave here alive." Edward says as he prepares his attack.

The party enters battle stance. Everyone except Tsukune goes for the bouncers. Tsukune rushes Edward at full speed. However Edward parried the first punch by Tsukune. "Weak." said Edward. He repulsed Tsukune away with a burst of youki.

This power, that aura, those red eyes, could he be? Tsukune thought. "If you are wondering; yes I am a vampire. The strongest of all ayashi an S class monster. You have no chance of victory." Edward boasts in his extreme confidence.

"Tsukune! Switch with me." Valvatorez shouts as he heads towards Tsukune. "I'll take him." he said. Tsukune immediately went to engage the bouncer Valvatorez was just fighting.

The battle went on as the long clash of fists heated up. However the bouncers proved too strong for the party as they were overpowered and pushed back. "Dammit! How are they so strong?' Fenrich growls as he kneeled on the ground from his injuries.

"Hahahaha! Surprised? Well you should not be. I infused them with my blood before we even fought." Edward laughs maliciously and then pummels Valvatorez with a full powered punch to the face. Valvatorez was sent flying to the chapel causing it to collapse.

Edward was about to use his final move [Vampiric Blast]. "Die!" shouted Edward. He fired a large blast of dark youki at Valvatorez. "Nooo!"

BOOOOOM

There was dust and rubble all around as the party tries to recover from that devastating attack. "Is everyone alright!" Tsukune shouted. "Barely." Fuka gets up from the rubble. "It's a little too early for you to worry about me." Fenrich got up a brushed off the dust on him.

But not everyone was unscathed. In the middle of everything there was Artina standing in front of Valvatorez. "She must have taken the attack head on." Fuka said with a horrified look on her face.

Artina was bleeding heavily and collapsed. "ARTINA!" Valvatorez screams as he runs to her. "Why! Why! Why can't I protect you? I don't want this to end like it did 400 years ago." he shouted in despair.

"P-please, Mr. Vampire. Drink my blood. Use it and regain your power." Artina said weakly to Valvatorez. "No! Not like this. I want to be able to protect you and fulfill our promise with my own strength." said Valvatorez.

"It seems that we have no regrets about keeping that promise. I never regretted what happened 400 years ago, and you never regretted losing your powers. Here we are at this same spot after 400 years." Artina spoke even softer.

"Then let it be known that I promise to protect you and do so for as long as I live. That is my new promise to you." Valvatorez stands up. "Don't die." he muttered softly to Artina.

Facing Edward and his four goons Valvatorez's anger climaxes; awakening his hidden potential. Valvatorez's eyes turned from the usual white to intense red. His demonic aura is increasing exponentially.

"Finish him." Edward commanded his goons to attack. They surround Valvatorez on all sides as attacked simultaneously.

Valvatorez instantly reacts towards the attack and vanishes. The four bouncers look around in bewilderment standing where Valatorez should have been.

Just then a sphere of darkness envelopes and consumes them all. Red spikes enter the darkness piercing all that gets caught. It's his secret technique [Bloody Hole]. The bouncers were instantly killed and Valvatorez reappears in the exact same spot.

"I-impossible!" Edward gets ready to fight. Fear looms over the skies. Valvatorez's power increases even further because he absorbs the battle power of the enemies he kills. His aura reaches abnormal strength.

What is he? There should be no stronger race of monsters other than a Vampire. Edward's thoughts were being consumed by his fear. The fear of the Tyrant. "Vampires eh?" Valvatorez remarked. "I'll show you a power that surpasses all! The power of a Tyrant!" he shouts.

"Lies! A Tyrant? I thought they only existed in myths a group of demons that surpass the S class. The SS class monsters: Tyrants." Edward shouts with evident fear.

[Author explanation] Tyrants are the strongest demons in the Netherworld and are feared in all the worlds. Their power defies time and space. Any class/race of demons or ayashi could become Tyrants if they were powerful enough. Equivalents are: Overlords, Dark Lords. Only 3 Tyrants are known to exist at the moment: Baal, Laharl, and Valvatorez.

Valvatorez unleashes his final move and his true powers: His final move [Tyrant Flughugh]. The sky darkens and the full moon appears. A swarm of bats filled the skies gathering together into a demonic form. Valvatorez's true form was a sight to behold. A giant bat like demon beyond description. A truly majestic yet fearsome sight.

"Infernal demon! Follow my order and present your vile soul. This….. is total domination!" Tyrant Val shouts. "Ahhhhh!" Edward screams in terror.

The Tyrant's roar splits the sky, sunders the earth, and leaves nothing left alive. The shockwave destroyed the barrier, the village, Edward, everything.

His roar was heard throughout the earth as fear spreads. Every human and youkai on the planet felt a massive wave of darkness wash over them.

At Fairy Tale HQ

Akua was in her room when all of a sudden she felt that wave of dark energy. W-what is this? So overpowering! she thought as she trembled. Gyokuro enters the room. "The Tyrant has awoken from his slumber. At this rate we won't need Alucard to destroy the world." she smiled with malicious intent.

"But just in case we will need you to hurry with breaching the Netherworld. Akua." she said keeping her composure despite the chao coming from the lower ranks.

Back to the destruction

A symphony of disintegration resounds as Valvatorez's sonic waves destroy everything in front of him. "He's out of control!" Tsukune shouted over the sound waves. Artina who seemed to have recovered slightly sat up and started talking, "Please we have to stop him. I don't him to avenge me. Please…" she says weakly as she collapses again.

"So be it." Fenrich stood up with a determined look in his eyes. "As much as I am honored to see my Lord's true form, it is all for naught if he remains unconscious. I will stop him." he said with resolve.

"Let me help too. I'm tired of being powerless." Tsukune stands up with Fenrich ready to face the rampaging Tyrant. Fenrich howls at the full moon and jumps high into the air.

Chains envelope Fenrich's body and bind his body. Then the chains shatter revealing his true form underneath. [Vanargandr] is Fenrich's full werewolf transformation." All is for my Lord!" shouts Fenrich as he dashes at Valvatorez with unparalleled speed and deliver a barrage of swift strikes continuously.

Tsukune joins the fights as well as he focus all of his youki on his fists and starts pounding. Valvatorez retaliates by swinging his massive arm. The arm moves extremely fast for its size as Tsukune barely managed to dodge it.

"Stay focused boy!" Fenrich shouted. "You won't last a direct hit from my Lord. Unfortunately his moves have become easy to read because of his anger."

Tsukune regains his focus and resumes the attack with Fenrich. After awhile it seems that they are doing no significant damage to Valvatorez. The difference in strength is too great as Valvatorez unleashes another sonic shockwave blasting Fenrich and Tsukune away.

"Fuka, help hold me up." Artina said weakly. "I'm the only one who can stop him."

Fuka understood as she helped Artina up and supported her. Artina was channeling her power and calling upon [Goddess Artemis] as she draws an arrow. Artina aims the arrow at Valvatorez who was about to finish off his pupil and servant.

The arrow flew at an amazing speed. It grew wings and guided itself towards Valvatorez's heart. "GAWWRH!" Valvatorez roared in pain from having his heart pierced. However that arrow was not aimed to kill, but rather help Valvatorez regain his consciousness.

Where am I? Valvatorez regains his vision as he sees through his eyes once again. What have I done? I-I am nothing but a monster. Valvatorez was about to sink into despair until an image of Artina appeared before him. "Mr. Vampire! Snap out of it!" Artina pleaded in his mind.

The arrow that was shot actually was infused with Artina's soul. She used it to enter Valvatorez's heart.

"I thought you always kept your promises." Artina said looking disappointed. "Look at this! I thought you could do this with your own power. You're about to destroy everything you cared about even break your promises to us…. to me."

At that moment Valvatorez experienced a realization. What have I done? I must stop at once! I won't allow myself to be consumed by the Tyrant. The Tyrant within speaks back to Valvatorez, "I am you and you are me. Nothing can change that. Come, embrace your power like you did 400 years ago." Valvatorez responds. So be it, I accept that I am a Tyrant, but I have changed. I only need our power because I wanted to protect the one I could not. Next time I won't give allow you to control me, that's a promise.

Outside Valvatorez slowly returned to his normal form. Artina's soul also returned to her. Valvatorez collapsed from exhaustion and the party rested for a day before waking up.

"Time to head back." Valvatorez calls the party and leads them to a dimension gate. They returned to Hades and Valvatorez apologized for everything that had happened. "Well considering that Fairy Tale was to blame for all this I'll forgive." Artina said with a devilish grin.

Valvatorez knew there was a catch. Artina continued, "But only if you promise to go out with me again later." she smiles. "My Lord you don't seriously need to go along with this." Fenrich objects forcefully.

"Fenfen! Don't get in the way of the action!" Fuka shouted annoyed by Fenrich's attempts to stop the relation. Fuka and Tsukune now starts to think Fenrich swings the other way.

Afterwards in the human world

After the massive shock felt by the world Touho and Mikogami took some time to go investigate the destruction. "Unbelievable!" exclaimed Touho. "He hasn't even returned to full power yet he is capable of this must destruction." Mikogami continued on. They continue to observe the wreckage.

Touho shows extreme concern when he notices a strange device lying in ruins around the edge of the crater. Upon closer inspection, they concluded it was an experimental rift maker. "They can't be planning to do that?" Mikogami's tone became more serious. "I'm afraid so my friend. We'll have to count on him to stop them or at least stall for as much time as possible." Touho concluded as they both used teleportation to return.
