A/N: Don't we all just hate writer's blocks. Coupled with the fact that I had to go back to college, and i read The Catcher in the Rye, and I've been like doing a bunch of other crap, I've been slacking with my writing... so sorry. Anyway, here's the next installment of Disgaea: Revenge of the Fallen. Read! Review! Enjoy!

Chapter Seven: Justice Rears Its… Mask!?

[JOKER plays]

Throughout the Cosmos the news of Asagi's plight was on everyone's mind. The major consensus was that since Asagi was now the main character, it wouldn't be long before an even stronger Overlord tried to overtake her in a grand-scale Nether War. Even though this thought was on the minds of most demons, in certain parts of the Cosmos the idea of such a feat was quite laughable…

-Zetta and Salome's Netherworld-

"HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAA!!" haughtily laughed Zetta once he heard the news from NBC [Netherworld Broadcasting Channel]. "Seems as though my apprentice is trying to gain power for herself… Not bad."

"Zetta dear, doesn't this bother you," Salome asked sweetly. "I have a hunch that Asagi's charades aren't going to end with this 'Hero' Prinny character. She might eventually return here to confront you. And if that happens, I don't want you to go and ruin the magnificent body that I love."

"Hmmm, that would be an issue…" pondered Zetta. However, he almost instantly switched gears and said, "But Asagi's got a LONG way to go before she can even dream about defeating me, the Most Badass Freakin' Overlord in the Cosmos!"

(Still as arrogant as always, Zetta... But that's what I love about you,) Salome said to herself as she gazed at Zetta dreamily. Smiling, she said, "Well, you're probably right darling. Just remember that weirder occurrences have occurred, and with you being Confined to the Sacred Tome for so long… Your Mana Power has probably-"

"HA! Is THAT what you're worried about? Guess I'll have to just go destroy some Netherworlds then!" A villainous look appeared on Zetta's face as he thought about the carnage that would ensue. "Hmmm… How many would be enough… 10? No, 50… Maybe 100! No… how about-"

"Just continue until you're satisfied," Salome whispered into Zetta's ear.

"I don't need you to tell me that." A smirk came over Zetta's face. "Just… have something waiting for me when I return, and it better not be cheap." Salome acknowledged Zetta by simply nodding her head. Seeing this, Zetta entered into the Makai Gate and went off to a random Netherworld.

(You shouldn't underestimate Asagi, Zetta) Salome said to herself. (Human she may be, however she might pull one over on you… remember, us humans can have some ridiculous Mana Power.) She smiled as she thought that last part. "Well now, things might start to get interesting. Hmmhmmmhmmhmmmm!"

-A Netherworld Near the Underworld-

[Madness of the Moment plays]

On this Netherworld that was wide known to be a haven for deviants from the Underworld, a trio consisting of a Prinny, a Viper Fighter, and a cloaked other had been slowly annihilating the residents left and right. However, with the news of Asagi's latest feat, one of them was quite... bothered.

"Master Versace! Master Versace!" yelled a Pvt. Prinny anxiously as if on que.

"What is it, Enkidou?" asked the golden haired Viper Fighter as he punched a hole through a Wood Golem.

"It's Asagi, dood! She- she- she-"

"Calm down Enkidou… and explain… the situation!" Versace said as he shattered a Dark Dragon to dust with a three punch combination. Pausing from his destruction of demons, Versace said, "What about Asagi? What's she up to?"

"D-D-DOOD! S-she's the Overlord of Netherworld Academy! AND she blew up Laharl's Castle," shouted the Prinny.

"Hmmm…."

"'Hmmm'!?! Dood, you gotta have something more to say than that!" Enkidou looked in awe as his master took out three Ifrits with a Lion's Roar.

Holding up the legendary Testament emblem that one of the Ifrits dropped, Versace turned to his vassal and said, "Um, good for her?"

Enkidou's jaw dropped to the floor. He was completely taken aback by Versace's comment, and his mind went blank. Due to this stupor, the Prinny couldn't brace himself what happened next. Just as Versace took his eyes off of Enkidou so that he could kill some more demons, a cloaked figure appeared behind the Prinny and lobbed him into the air. Sensing his vassal's imminent danger, the Viper Fighter quickly dispatched his remaining foes by executing Big Bang, then immediately leapt into the air to catch his explosion-prone vassal.

Upon landing, Versace looked at the cloaked figure and smiled. "Heh, I appreciate the training exercise. However, it's not time for us to do anything rash yet, Nanai." The cloaked figure, removed its hood to expose the face of a red haired Angel with an intense look in her eyes. Unphased by the Crusader's glare, Versace set down the distraught Enkidou and continued, "That goes for you too. We'll deal with that 'Potential' Main Character and her lackeys all in good time. In the meanwhile…" Versace got into an offensive stance, taking note of the hoard of demons surrounding the three of them. "… We should concentrate on taking over this Netherworld. Can't be too hard with a Prinny, an Angel, and a future Overlord!"

"Affirmative," said Nanai, while drawing her Summer Rain from her cloak, and falling into a defensive stance.

"Aye… aye-aye, dood!" shouted Enkidou, finally awakening from his stupor.

"Good." (Just you wait Ryuki, I'll show you that not even a Death God can hold a candle to me!) thought Versace, as the a pleasing chill came over him, due to his anticipation for the battles to come…

-Netherworld Academy's Infirmary-

[Poem of the Vagabond plays]

Two days after Asagi's successful payback onto Hero Prinny, Ryuki found himself STILL in the hospital due to the beating that Etna handed him. The conditions of his room left something to be desired as he was alone in a two person room, with a television in the center of the room, oh and he was strapped down to his bed (in order to keep him from escaping)… and to make matters worse, Celeste confiscated his weapons and armor, his Slaystation Portable, and had Yui rig the television in the room so that he could only watch a human channel that she loved called Lifetime (so that they could become more connected in a way). So basically he was in his own personal hell, where Celeste would spoon feed him all his meals and then smoother him with kindness, Reio would constantly rip on him for letting a flat-chested dominatrix kick his ass, Yui would make sure a old horse wiener was at all of the exits to the room (to keep the spirits away?), and Asagi would complain about how his injures were causing her to delay her revenge plots.

As night came on that second day, Ryuki had finally managed to free himself from Celeste's ridiculously tricky restraints. Tired out and sore from this injuries, Ryuki was about to pass out until he heard noises come from the Courtyard. Peering out of his room's window, the Gladiator saw two shadows flanked by a hoard of smaller penguin-esque shadows. At first he was just going to let the whole thing pass, especially since he was in white pajamas, however the group began to make even louder noises which, quite frankly, pissed Ryuki off.

So he snuck out of the Infirmary and into the Courtyard and finally saw what the fuss was about. A bunch of Prinnies had gathered around this guy dressed as a Prinny… as did a person in a pink outfit that resembled a Prism Ranger uniform. Interested, Ryuki hid in the shadows and decided to listen in on the whole ordeal.

[Battle Comrade (Instrumental) softly plays]

"Prinny Mask! Prinny Mask!! PRINNY MASK!!!" chanted the Prinnies in unison.

"Could you sign my daggers," said one.

"No, dood! Sign my pouch," said another.

"No no no! My… my beak! Sign my beak," said a third.

Being bombarded with this many admirers, the Champion of the Prinnies scans his audience and says, "Listen my fair Prinnies, don't you know that if I sign anything that's worth value to you, then you will not be able to reincarnate!" [obvious lie] All in attendance gasped. Prinny Masked held his mask with one hand, and pointed toward the heavens with the other while saying, "If you truly want the name of Prinny Mask to be of any value, just keep doing what is truly right in the Academy… So I don't have to clean it up," he said mumbling the last part.

"That. Was. So. BADASS!" squealed the person in the pink Prism Ranger suit. "Oh, oh, oh my gosh! That was something that a true hero could only say! I've dreamed of being able to be that badass." The person's voice had the tone of a love struck girl. Collecting herself, the person said, "You HAVE to give me an autograph now!"

Prinny Mask sweatdropped. "Weren't you listening to what I said? If I sign anything you won't be able to reincarnate!"

"That's fine," said the girl, placing her hands on her hips. "As long as I get an autograph, why should I care about reincarnation? Besides, someone as badass as me doesn't need to worry about those kind of things anyway."

"What are you—who's there," Prinny Mask suddenly called out, feeling that someone was watching him.

"You're pretty sharp," said Ryuki as he appeared from the shadows. "I must say, for all the times I've seen you around the Academy… I thought you were a loner."

"YOU WHAT!?!?!" yelled the Prinny's and the pink Prism Ranger in unison.

Sweatdropping, Ryuki said, "Yeah, I've seen him around during the night doing deliqu… um, honorl… cleaning up!" The Gladiator finally said seeing as his views of delinquency and honorly things differed from the Academy's policies.

"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ANYONE!?!" they all yelled again. Ryuki shook his head.

"That's… so honorly," said the pink Prism Ranger in complete disbelief that someone would withhold such valuable information. "I can't believe someone at your honor level still goes here after Mao was—wait-a-minute… you're Ryuki!"

"Yeah…" The Gladiator said as though t were the most common thing in the cosmos.

(Crap! If that's THE Ryuki, and he heard the entire story… then he might expose me!) thought Prinny Mask. It was true that he was stingy about giving away his autograph [but that was more so for legal purposes], however, he couldn't allow his integrity be tarnished because of a little white lie. So in an attempt to cover the whole thing up [there was nothing to presently cover], Prinny Mask declared, "I Prinny Mask, challenge you the Honor Student Ryuki to a battle. Don't worry however, because I won't be going anywhere NEAR my full power!" [blatant lie]

Unphased by this new development, Ryuki said, "Sure, why n-"

Prinny Mask suddenly dashed toward Ryuki with the intent to shoot the Gladiator point-blank in the forehead; however, Ryuki reacted in time to hit Prinny Mask under the chin with an uppercut that sent the latter flying into the atmosphere. Bewildered by his own strength, Ryuki looked at the onlookers and said in a sheepish voice, "Guess I don't know my own strength… heehee?"

"YOU FIEND!" cried out the Prinnies.

"How could you! He told you explicitly that he wasn't going to go all out and yet you blah blah blah…"

At this point, Ryuki was only concerned with the condition of his body. "Hmmm… If only those $enzu [pronounced cha-chin -zu] Beans were real," he moaned considering the pain he was in. "Maybe RosenQueen has some…"

[Battle Comrade blares!]

"You, you monster! First you decimate the hero, and then you ignore his substitute! And from what I've heard, you all defeated my comrades as well! Well I, Prism Pink, will not only show you how badass I AM, but I'll show you the awesomeness of being a delinquent! I'm gonna make you donate blood, pick up trash, and lend a helping hand until you drop!"

(Doesn't she mean… never mind.) "Listen you 'badass', don't tell me that you'd fight an unarmed oppon-" Suddenly his Death Scythe fell to his side. Looking around wildly, Ryuki couldn't see where it had been thrown from.

"You've messed up now you coward. Ruining people's dreams, humiliating their idols, keeping a huge supply of horse wieners, not donating blood or cleaning up or going to class on time, being a pervert-"

"HOLD ON! I am NOT a pervert!" yelled Ryuki, who swore he heard laughter come from somewhere after he responded.

"Well that's just a minor detail… that has to go on my report."

"MINOR!?!" Ryuki lifted up his weapon, swung it behind his back, and bent his knees [he called this his 'Killer's Intent' stance]. Multiple veins started popping out of the Gladiator's forehead, and he looked like he was going to explode at any second.

"Don't worry about it though. Being a delinquent, I'll make sure that this won't hurt… much."

Prism Pink pulled out a weird looking book began her assault on Ryuki, who still was in that stance of his. She repeatedly tried to whack him with the book; however the Gladiator was easily able avoid any damage. After this went on for a while, Ras-er, I mean, Prism Pink fell back a little and casted Tera Fire. Ryuki, having horrible RES, bolted and tried to get out of R… Prism Pink's AoE; however, his attempts were of no use. The Gladiator was all but defeated by the surprisingly strong Prism Pink.

"Now do you see," boasted the pink clad hero. "Villains like you should just cower in the Sea of Gehenna!" She pulled out this monster-esque book of hers and held it above her head. "You fiend, it's time to 'donate' some bloo—AHHHHH!!" Prism Pink frantically began screaming in pain, while holding her right arm [which held her book].

[Tales of Innocent Youth plays]

Taking advantage of this, Ryuki wobblingly got to his feet with a smirk on his face. With his axe in hand, asked his opponent, "Do you know why you're going to lose?" Prism Pink was too preoccupied with her wound to bother listening to him. "It's because, and in the name of the Overlord this is gonna sound cheesy, but it's because you're not utilizing your friends! You should be fighting at their side instead of fighting a now five man group plus our Master alone." No sooner than he had said that did his four comrades appear in front of him.

"Say something gay like that again, and I'll kill you," yelled Reio, his Thrill Sucker at the ready.

"What gave it away? Was it her gunshot wound?" asked Yui as she aimed her Red Shooter at Prism Pink's heart.

"It was probably the impatience of you younglings," said Aramith, while simple staring at the hero in pink. "I swear, if only you all were wise like Ol' Babylon."

"I think it was my fault," explained Celeste as she readied herself to attack. "But his reaction to being called a pervert… Priceless!"

Finally noticing Ryuki's allies, Prism Pink jumped on top the statue. "I… I see that cowards like you choose to gang up on people… w-w-well, next time we meet… I'll show you the true resolve of a Prism Ranger and… a badass." She then took out a small round sphere and threw it to the ground, causing a smokescreen. Once it dissipated, she was nowhere to be found.

[Friends plays]

Not too preoccupied with looking for her, everyone looked at Ryuki with mixed emotions. Celeste and Yui were mad, Aramith was astonished, and Reio was indifferent. An eerie silence fell over them, until Ryuki finally said, "You guys… Tomorrow, we'll go and take out Mao…" Nobody said anything. "And another thing… you guys suck…"

"Heh, coming from a bastard that got beat from a loli looking "S", that doesn't faze—woah!" the Marauder suddenly outburst as he caught Ryuki who was about to fall. Looking at their leader, they found him to be unconscious. Reio immediately chugged Ryuki to Celeste, who almost dropped him. "I don't have time to babysit." He turned his back on his comrades. "Since it's Mao who's up next, I'm going to need a good night's rest and a balanced breakfast of Taiyaki and Sake. So wasting time with Ryuki would screw that up." And with that, Reio headed to his room.

"Foolish youngling," chuckled Aramith as he headed toward his own room. "Everyone knows that Ramen with a Mushroom Soup and a Soma is the best meal to eat before a battle. Darn youngster, his meal is gonna take forever to make…"

Yui looked in the direction that Reio went off in, and then back at Celeste, who was holding Ryuki in her arms. Sighing, she said, "He seems a bit heavy. Mind if I help you, get him back to his bed."

"Sure." Within minutes the two ladies got Ryuki back into his room at the infirmary. After thanking Yui, Celeste immediately went over and sat down at Ryuki's side.

"Erm… I guess I ought to go," said Yui awkwardly was she guessed that her presence was currently ruining the atmosphere in the room. Before she could turn to leave, Celeste said something that caused her to stop. Believing that she had heard something wrong, Yui asked "Um… what was that?"

"I said, how would you react if Reio died?" Celeste was looking at Ryuki as she spoke. "For me, I'd probably leave you all if Ryuki died. The only reason why I can act the way I do is because I have Ryuki to depend on. If not for him, I would have thought that all demons were despicable, or I may have gone insane and started butchering demons in the name of 'justice'. He may seem nonchalant, but he's the only reason I have for being here in the Netherworld." Celeste stopped for a moment and finally turned to Yui. "I'll ask you again, how would you react if Reio died?"

"Reio is… I mean, why would it matter to me?" The Master Thief's couldn't help but blush. It wasn't a hidden fact that she liked Reio, but even though she wanted to be more than a friend to the Marauder, she's never thought about anything like this. "It's not like we're going out or anything," she continued. "I mean… I mean…"

"It's okay," Celeste said turning back to Ryuki. "But you must think about it carefully and quickly." The Force Knight's tone became rather dry, as she continued, "Even though I said I'd leave you all, I WILL finish whatever assignment we are on FIRST. If Reio dies while we are doing one of Asagi's escapades and you turn into a liability…" She paused.

"What is it?" asked Yui scarily as she could imagine what her comrade was about to say.

"I may have to take you out of the equation," said Celeste coolly. "Do you understand?" Not hearing a response from Yui, Celeste said again, "Do you understand what I'm saying Yu—"

"Reio was right! T-tomorrow's a big day huh?" Yui's voice was a bit shaky and her eyes were a little watery. Turning away from Celeste, she continued, "M-man I must be tired, I'm getting a bit teary eyed," the Master Thief let out a fake yawn. "Well… I'll… see you in the morning… Ryuki…" She then hastily exited the room, leaving the couple to themselves for the night.

-Corridor, the following day-

[Sparkle, To Become A Star plays]

Having just finished up a breakfast of bacon, eggs and milk, Asagi decided to take a walk through the Corridor in order to get her mind off of things. (I might as well get a new Second, if Ryuki isn't healed by next week.) she thought to herself. (I mean I KNOW it's only been three days that he's been out, but… This sucks.) She continued to traverse through the area until she saw a group of familiar faces standing near the dimensional gate. At first, the female human was just going to address them like she always does whenever she sees them when there's nothing to do [with a simple "How are you"]; however, with the way they were acting she decided against it.

(Something is up between individual members of the group.) The Overlord thought to herself as she continued to observe them. (The insane looking one [Reio], seemed to be out of it, while the old man [Aramith] seems to be amused at the sight. Meanwhile, that thief Yu… yu… what's-her-name [Yui], keeps blushing whenever she looks at the insane looking one. However, something seems up between what's-her-name and Ryuki's Mistress [Celeste]. Though Ryuki's Mistress seems fine, that thief can't seem to even look in her direction. What's more, Ryuki's Mistress is leaning up on some man—what the!?!) "Ryuki!" Asagi accidentally yelled out that last part, and caused the group to take notice of her. After walking up to them she asked, "What're you all up to?" Everyone except Ryuki began speaking in unintelligible words. Not really interested in the cause of their mini quarrels, Asagi said, "Why are you out of the infirmary?" Her words directed at Ryuki.

"Two reasons, first to reincarnate the Gatekeeper Prinny like I had promised." The Gladiator pointed to his right where a Beast Tamer stood with a staff in her hand.

"It was amazing, ma'am," said the Gatekeeper. "It's like he knew exactly what I was in my past life doo… er, I mean ma'am."

"I see," Asagi said, nonchalantly. "What was the other?"

"It's about time that we took out Mao!" Ryuki pointed at the Gatekeeper again. "I told her to find Mao. Actually it was the condition for her reincarnation."

[Tales of Innocent Youth plays]

"Hahaha! Finally," Asagi pulled out her pistols, stood in front of her minions, and said, "Listen, I know this may be hard, going against your ex-Boss and all; however, to make things interesting, whoever defeats Almaz will receive the title of Demon Lord, and rightfully become my right hand vassal." Everyone's attention was focused after she told them that. "Now that that's settled, let's go get that ex-Overlord's ass!"

"Yes Ma'am!" And so the six of them head out to defeat Mao, and become one step closer to attaining Asagi's full retribution.

Chapter Seven: END

-Chapter Eight Preview-

[Whistle of Memory plays]

Vurt: After going through the dimensional gate, Asagi and her vassals arrive at the place that Mao is supposed to be (It's close by.)

Almaz: Um, excuse me, but why are you doing this?

Vurt: With his already low supply of vassals, Mao unexpectedly gets help from an unusual source…

Almaz: Not really. I kinda saw this happening a while back.

Vurt: During all the fighting, one of Asagi's vassals takes out the hero Almaz so it goes, causing Mao to enter an uncontrollable rage!

Almaz: Wait, I die… again?!

Vurt: Next time on Disgaea: Revenge of the Fallen, Episode 8: The Only Justice Is MY Justice. Bow down to the Main Character!

Almaz: Either that was a bunch of bull, or you gave away the next chapter. Either way, it was convincing.


A/N: Ok first thing's first. Shout out to Rober2. He didn't necessarily DO anything but reading his Partner's And Fic continues to get me motivated to write my own, so yeah. Second, I used 'Tales of Innocent Youth' be cause I was TRYING to stay within the Disgaea 3 soundtrack while within Evil Academy (but I failed due to 'Friends' from Phantom Brave T_T). Um... I'm liking Celeste's character near the end of the chapter... Uh... I brought back Vurt cause introducing a character that doesn't die and only having them do one thing throughout the entire story is lame so... yeah. Got tired of calling the Gatekeeper Gatekeeper Prinny, so I had Ryuki reincarnate it (laziness i know). BTW, I came through with my promise of two bios so yeah. Other than that I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Review if you can, and um the next one should be coming soon.

Enkidou

Age: 532
Class:
Prinny (Pvt. Prinny)

Though he has died before, Enkidou still cannot grasp the whole working for practically nothing routine. This caused him to get punished severally throughout these 96 years of working under Mao. However, since the start of his servitude, he has been in the favor of Versace, and once Versace bailed, he promptly took Enkidou with him. His accuracy sucks, however he more than makes up for it with his speed and defense. Enkidou seems to have been a lieutenant in his past, which may be the reason why he and Versace's other vassal do not see eye to eye. He is an overly cautious Prinny that is loyal and dependable. However, do not get on his bad side or he might pull out something from his pouch that you never have seen. Previously a Ninja (Oniwaban), Enkidou knows how to stealthily move about, which is made easier since he's a Prinny [and who really expects a Prinny to do anything].

Nanai

Age: ??? (older than Yui, younger than Versace however)
Class: Angel/Fallen (Crusader) [wears the Battle Maiden's attire]

All that is known about Nanai before she met up with Versace is that in the hierarchy of Angels she was one of the most powerful Thrones. This all changed 200 years ago when Cherub, who had screwed up something big, placed the blame on her. Knowing that she was to be sentenced to death due to the Seraph's nature not to interfere until the last minute when one of the celestial beings lie, Nanai fled to the Netherworld. Upon making contact, she was attacked by, and killed a Battle Maiden [she wears the maidens outfit out of respect]. This act caused her to become a Fallen Angel, and a criminal in Celestia. With no one to turn to and nowhere to go, Nanai's heart became cold. She began to kill any demon that talked to her the wrong way. She met Versace like this 50 years ago. He dominated her, but let her go. He showed compassion as though he knew what she was feeling. After the fight, Nanai poured out all of her feelings, resolved herself and begged Versace to let her become his vassal. Versace told her, "all in due time, just get stronger." Since then Nanai has only be focused on getting Versace's approval. She is a shy and nice person; however, she tries hard to hide this. Undoubted loyal to Versace.

A/N: Oh yeah, I'm changing the name to Disgaea: Revenge of the Fallen when I next update, so remember that.
