Chapter 2: The Prince's New Power
Laharl walked next to Barbara and made sure to keep a safe distance away from her. But that didn't help that he could see all of her body. He just wanted to throw up.
'Ugh, I hate this why didn't that old fossil wait for me!? Why leave her here?!' He grabbed his head as he just looked away from Barbara as he continued to walk in silence.
After a bit he grew annoyed at the silence and spoke up.
"Hey!"
Barbara ignored his yell as she kept her pace as Laharl grew mad at her and grabbed her shoulder.
"Hey stop!"
She shook it off and continued her walk as he yelled again.
"Will you stop and listen to me!?"
She stopped and looked at him looking like she was expecting him to say something.
"Yes? What is your order?"
"Huh?"
"You asked me to wait and listen to you so what is your order?"
He just rubbed his temples at what she was saying.
'What is her problem anyway? Forget it I just need one answer.'
"Are we near Grosso's hideout?"
"It won't be much further till we get there. Just follow me and I will get you there as ordered."
He only nodded as she was about to continue her pace.
"Can we please get their faster?"
He could have sworn he saw her eyes glow.
"Order accepted!"
She ran at a very fast pace, leaving him alone as he stood dumbfounded at Barbara's speed
"Wait for me!"
He ran after her trying to keep up with her speed.
Gross was keeping a normal pace as he arrived at his base and turned around to see Barbara running at him. She stopped right outside the entrance and waited.
Orders complete!
He looked up to see Laharl running but looked to be out of breath.
"Wait…For…Me…. Ugh..."
Grosso sighed as he just opened the door and ordered Barbara to go insides and to call the others for a meeting. She nodded as she ran inside leaving Gross to talk to Laharl.
"About time you got here prince."
"No thanks to you! Why did you have that woman wait for me?!"
"I needed to be sure that I made it in one piece so I made sure to use your weakness against you. Nice to know that we can have some advantage against you if we need to keep you in your place."
"Tsk, so this place is your base?"
Laharl saw what looked like an old castle in front of him. He didn't know why but he could feel something was off.
'Why do I feel like this castle feel so familiar to me? I must be overthinking things.'
"Yes, we have been here for some time after the king died we took it upon ourselves to claim one of his old castles. But for now let's go inside so can discuss things with the others.
"What others?" Asked Laharl.
"I will explain once we get inside but for now let's go."
"Fine, whatever but you better not be leading me into a trap! I may not be Overlord anymore but I still have my power!"
He walked inside as Gross sighed and rubbed his eyes.
'This could be a lot of work but he still has the king's power and we can use that to get the throne. But I feel something odd about the young prince almost like he doesn't trust anyone around him. This could prove to be either a great way to get him to trust us or to use him.'
Laharl made his way inside the castle looking at the place around him seeing a few pictures of his dad in his youth. He ignored them but saw a certain picture that caught his eye. He looked at it and felt pain as he saw a picture of his dad but with his mother holding him as a baby. He put his hand next to his chest feeling some pain and closed his eyes and burned the picture before speaking.
'Love and friends isn't real mom… You lied just like that damn angel. I won't be lied to anymore I am demon, and emotions like that will get me hurt again."
As he said this Grosso found him and was about to tell him off for burning a picture of the Overlord, but he saw him reach for his back trace the scar but he let his scarf cover it again and he walked down the hall as the picture burned away leaving the pictures in ashes as Grosso wondered why he burnt the picture but ignored it as he had more important things to take care of right now.
Laharl opened a door and stood in an empty hall and decided to wait as he could feel others getting closer to his location. He decided to stand, waiting for Gross to arrive.
He better not take too damn long, I am an impatient demon." He didn't wait long as he heard a door open.
He expected to see Grosso but saw a red golem appear with bandages around his right arm.
"Who the hell are you!?"
"What? An intruder in the castle? This I cannot allow! I must get rid of you at once!"
"So you want to pick a fight bring it on I will show you the power of Laharl!"
Laharl reached into his scarf and pulled out his sword, ready for battle.
"Laharl?! Then I cannot let you live since you will get in the way our plan. I the great Garungun will take care of you with the power of the Majin sealed in my right arm!"
He closed his eyes humming as Laharl was in thought.
"Majin in his right arm? Never heard of a golem having that power! I can't rush into this like all the other times. He is a golem so he is a power house. I need to finish him quick and avoid his punches."
He relayed his sword as he waited for Garungun to make the first move but nearly fell on the ground.
"What's this? The Majin in my arm isn't helping me? It must not be time yet. Very well I will deal with this myself."
"Do you even really have a Majin or is your head full of crap!?"
"How dare you say that to me!"
He only charged at Laharl causing him to smirk.
"Bring it on!"
Laharl charged at him sword drawn not aware that he was being watched by two people.
"Shouldn't we be stopping them Grosso?"
"No this way we can see if he really has the power to become the overlord we need. Just because he is the king's son doesn't mean he has all his power."
"So this is a test then?"
Grosso only nodded as he saw Laharl start to fight his adviser.
"Does he know?"
"He does not Rainier, and he doesn't need to know or he would mess this up."
"Right don't know why we have him with us. Did he even do anything for the Overlord?"
"I don't know but he was kept around for his power that's all I know."
Rainier nodded as she only looked at Laharl in his fight.
'He really seems to have grown but he is still a baby.' she smiled as she called Barbara over.
"Yes?"
"Get us something to drink and make sure it's good since the fight might last a while."
"Understood!"
Grosso just sighed thinking Barbara why was always following when it came to orders but what could he do? This was more frustrating than his wife and kids. (A/N no lie he has a wife and kids I looked it up. Maybe that's why he hates kids).
Overlord's castle
Sicily walked back to the Overlord's castle and took a seat in the Overlords chair before sighing looking over to her loyal vassals who welcomed her back. She began to think why her brother was so cold to her.
'Hmmm, what did big brother go through to make him like this? And why did he have a scar on his back? Just what happen in the last 200 years ago?'
"Big Brother…" she said out loud.
"Sicily is something wrong?" Asked Flonne as she walked over to her wondering what was wrong.
"Yes, I'm fine just thinking about..."
"Laharl?"
"Yes."
"I'm worried about him as well since he isn't like he used to be." Flonne said with sadness in her voice.
"What do you mean?"
"He is acting like when I first met him, he didn't have trust for anyone. I mean I can understand him not trusting Etna but why me?
"Hey! I heard that beside you're not so innocent yourself Flonne. You are a fallen angel and you left him as well, so don't go shifting the blame just on me. Beside I didn't hear you arguing when I suggested coming back to the castle to work for the new overlord." Etna said as she walked through the door followed by Prinnies .
"But Etna-!"
"Don't but me, but I have to agree the prince was a bit different why would he even go work for him anyway?"
"From what Laharl said, sounds like he wants the throne back. But I can't help but think there is another reason for him wanting to reclaim the throne. I mean did you see the look in his eyes they didn't even see us as friends anymore. He even slapped my hand away." She said as she put her hand near her chest.
"Eh, what can we do? If the prince wants to come for the throne let him. It's not like he can do much since we have guards everywhere and we also have the Overlord."
"Etna that's just cold! You were Big Brothers vassals and yet you don't care what has happen to him?"
"Nope. Never really liked him, I just hung around cause he was the king's son and cause I was watching him over. Maybe I saw him has a friend but…"
"Etna! What about all that we went through with him didn't that matter?"
"Who knows, maybe I saw him as more but too late now beside we need answers. Prinny squad! Get in here now!"
The moment she yelled the rest of the Prinnies that weren't with her ran inside the room.
"Reporting for duty Dood!"
"Etna what's going on?" Asked Flonne as she didn't say anything but asked the Prinnies a question.
"Ok Prinnies I want to know have any you heard any news of the prince since he has left?"
Sicily and Flonne eyes widen at what they said.
"Yes master Etna dood."
"What you have information about Big Brother?!"
"Yes lady Sicily dood."
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"You never asked dood. We found about him about 100 years ago dood. We went to tell Master Etna but she would listen to us always saying she was too busy eating sweets."
"Oh…" Etna looked a bit embarrassed.
"Wait you Prinnies knew where he was?"
"Nope dood. Like we said we found out about him from other Prinnies when they were heading to the Place of Reincarnation Dood."
"Why would Big Brother be there?" The prinny squad shook their heads.
"We don't know the only thing that other Prinnies said was he was there since he felt more at peace since demons wont attack out of fear having their souls taken dood. The Prinnies that went and saw him view him as a one of us since some demons hate him dood. But he isn't all that bad anymore dood. From what other Prinnies have said he has even protected a few us earning a few Prinnies thanks dood."
"Why can't he save us from master Etna dood." Replied one prinny but was thrown at a wall causing an explosions making all the Prinnies sweat.
"Wait so Big Brother has helped Prinnies?"
"Yes dood but when other Prinnies try to thank him all he said was give him some food or they were asked when the next red Moon would be taking place Dood."
"Is that all?" Asked Etna as one prinny walked forward.
"One last thing from what other Prinnies have said he once asked how his old friends are doing. Dood."
The Prinnies just started to leave the throne room as they were no longer needed.
"Laharl still asked about us even though we left him." Replied a sadden Flonne as Etna couldn't believe what the last prinny had said but she only mumbled one word.
"Prince…"
"Wait do you Prinnies know about any fights the prince has been in?" Asked the Overlord.
"Sorry Sicily dood but we only what other Prinnies say. So if you want us to ask we can do that dood."
"Please do." replied Sicily as the last prinny left leaving the throne alone and leaving the girls to their thoughts.
Back with Grosso and Rainer
Laharl was sweating as he looked at the tired Garungun who was once again trying to summon the Majin from his arm. But to Laharl's annoyance it was the same thing. Nothing.
"Why won't you help me Majin in my right arm!?"
"Forget it! I didn't want to use this on you but you're getting on my bad side."
Laharl only raised his sword to his face and smiled.
"This might be a little overkill but I have grown tired of this fight if I can even call it that."
He whispered to the sword as it glowed causing him to breath hard as the people watching him eyes widen as the sword glowed red causing fire to go around it.
"What is this?" Asked Grosso as Rainer was stunned by the fire coming from the sword.
"Get ready Garungun since I will be sending you to the afterlife!"
"Do you really think your puny sword can hurt me?!"
Garungun charged at Laharl, as he charged at him dragging the blade across the ground leaving a trail of fire. Laharl grinned as they neared each other.
"Been while since I have seen some blood but this will show him my power!"
Grosso saw the trail of fire and was shocked as he saw the power Laharl had but was more worried at the grin he was giving.
"Grosso we have to do something. Even if he is useless we need Garungun alive for our group!"
"I know Rainer!" Before he could say anything else they heard a yell.
"Try and block this!" he yelled as he swung his sword with both hands slamming the sword in Garungun as a blinding light engulfed the area blinding everyone. Grosso and Rainer covered their eyes to hear the sound of something heavy hitting a wall. As the light cleared Rainer and Grosso saw their alley knocked out by the wall but saw Barbara blocking Laharl's blade. They saw that her body was surrounded in a bit of fire before it disappeared as Laharl spoke.
"Why? How?!" Before he fell on his knee from lack of energy.
"Orders… completed …" spoke Barbara out of strength as the armor around hands which she used to block the attack fell off.
"What you want to fight to? I won't go easy on you." He said trying to help himself up but had no luck as Grosso came into his view.
"Prince Lahral can you hear me?"
"Yeah I can. About time you got here, what took you so long?" Were his last word as he fell forward falling into darkness. Grosso was about to catch him but was beaten to it as he saw Rainer appear as he she caught his head between her breast causing him turn pale even though he was already out.
She only smiled petting his head.
"Your still such a baby prince."
"Rainier enough get them all to the hospital wing the sooner he gets up the sooner we find out what that power he used was."
Grosso looked at the ground still lit on fire and saw the fire start to disappear as the glowing blade turned back to normal looking like a normal sword.
'Just what have you discovered prince?'
"Barbara answer me! Are you ok and why did you interfere?"
She helped herself up and pointed with her none armored hand at Lahral.
"I was following his orders. He said try and block this, so before he hit Garungun I intervened and took the attack."
"If that is the case why is he in the wall?"
"I do not know but, as the attack hit the energy that came from it must have blew him into the wall?"
"I see. Good work in interfering but, I need you to follow Rainier who will take, the prince to the hospital wing I want you to watch over the prince make sure he doesn't try anything."
"Understood!"
Rainier carried Laharl to their hospital wing followed by Barbara. Grosso picked up Laharl's sword and began to swing it but nothing happen. He decided to give it a closer look when he could but for now he needed to check with the others.
He left the room looking at the sword noticing a few runes on the blade and closed the door leaving his out cold teammate alone as he turned off lights.
Here you go to all my readers I am thinking of doing some one shots for certain Disgaea couples and a few personal fave of my own. What do you think of this chapter and what's up with Laharl's blade? Will it will be explained later as for why he went out cold well. Wait till next chapter but go ahead try and guess why. As for the paring for now it will be LahralxBarbaraxRainer don't know if the others will be involved.
What do I have planned for Xenolith and will Laharl-chan make an appearance? Well wait and see for now read and review ideas are welcome. To let readers know, Laharl has protected a few prinnies so they view him as a bit of a hero like Prinny Mask!
