Kurozai and Rias stood in the clubroom, accompanied by Akeno and Kiba.

The two leaders were looking down at the letter.

"So he just, Gave it to you?"

"He did, yes."

"And that's it? He came in, handed you this and left?"

"Very similar to a storm… I suppose it's fitting."

Kurozai walked away and paced in circles around the club room. He was angry.

It had only been an hour since they informed Rias of Cryos' death, and he had missed a near once in a lifetime event.

Meeting a living Previous Overlord. Yet from the way the interaction sounded… Kurozai might be seeing more of the fourth greatest Overlord.

"... Corruptis… what the fuck is it?" Kurozai asked out loud as he picked up the letter.

Rias was confused at this, "You don't know? It's where the Overlord Council gathers. It's mainly composed of the spirits of past Overlord's, but the council of Sins and the ones who became immortal still attend meetings over new Overlord's. I thought you knew."

Kurozai's stare hardened. "I didn't….. I'm going home." Kurozai said as he put the letter on his desk and made his way to the exit.

"Kurozai, I have something else to tell you." Rias said, catching the Overlord as he held the doorknob. "Since this is the second time they've attacked us, and even killed a client this time… I'm extending my help to you. Tomorrow I want you here so we can talk strategy."

Kurozai nodded and left.

Akeno and Kiba both looked at their king as she sat down in her desk. "Kiba, I need you to leave. I have to talk to Akeno."

Kiba nodded and left promptly. Leaving the two female devil's alone.

-OVERLORD-

Kurozai sat on the couch across from Rias as they looked over notes Kurozai had scribbled down during class.

The two were alone, having sent both Overlordian Followers and Devils out to work. The devils were sent out to act as if nothing happened to prove they weren't shaken, and the followers were out to try and find the fellowship's base of operations, or use Issei as bait, whichever happened first.

While a good plan, Kurozai did not think about the after effects… namely, being alone with the girl he held feelings for.

'Remain professional, don't be weird Kuro, you've hung out with girls before. Tons of girls, like Shirosa's friends. Yeah! If you can hang out with college girls and stay calm with their teasing then you're fine!... I'm fucked.'

Kurozai was lost in his mind as he read over the notes.

'What if she knows? Oh shit she does! Why else would we be left alone here? Kiba ratted me out didn't he?! Fuck what am I going to do!'

"Are you okay?"

"AHHHHHHHHH" Kurozai began to shout, startled by the question.

"AHHHHHHHHH?! What?!?" Rias asked, thinking they were under attack.

"Sorry! I uh… I just thought of something!" Kurozai began to lie as best as he could.

"Oh? What do you have?"

'fuck I didn't think she'd ask that.'

Kurozai began to rack his brain for answers. Then he looked down to the papers and suddenly, everything was clear.

"Elemental! It's elemental!"

"Pardon?" Rias asked as she watched Kurozai jump up.

"So, when I killed Cryos, I was pissed, right? And my magic went all wacky because of it, causing fire to cover me, or something like that."

"...okay."

"Cryos was an Ice Wizard, meaning he was weak to the heat!"

"That's not how it works… I'm pretty sure you just caught him off guard." Rias said, wincing as Kurozai's motion was ended and he fell onto the floor.

"Yeah I got nothing then."

Rias nervously laughed… This was going to be a long day.

-DXD-

Malady wailed over the icy corpse.

Despair hung over the Trio of Evil.

Hakon and Inferna stood back from the mourning woman, each coping in their own ways.

For Hakon, it was weapon making. He was currently forging a new pair of Axes from pieces of his fallen comrades armor. He dubed them 'The Frosts of The Abyss'.

Inferna however slaughtered a small group of Minions in a fiery rage. "WHY THE FUCK ARE WE WAITING?!" She shouted to her allies.

Hakon and Malady turned to the flame-covered Ruborian. Hakon spoke up. "Fer, we can't. Mal's still grievan, an don farget about our orders…"

"FUCK THE ORDERS! WHAT'S THAT MOLTEN DICKHEAD DONE FOR US?"

Hakon began to speak up but froze, as did Malady. Both were locked in fear, staring at Inferna… Wait, not at her.

"I'm waiting…"

For once in her life, Inferna felt her blood freeze. She jumped forward and fell down on one knee, Hakon and Malady following suit.

"Nothing to say?"

Inferna said nothing and kept her gaze locked to the floor.

"Good girl. Now, I've looked the town over. I shall do what you fou- hahaha, sorry. You THREE forgot to do. I am going to speak with this Overlord, if he can't be won over with words then I shall let you enact the plan."

The trio kept their heads down as the voice left.

"... Ya just had ta open your mouth." Hakon grumbled before getting up to finish working on the axes.

-OVERLORD-

"So after three hours we have no leads on what to do. No one's found anything? Anything at all?" Kurozai asked, exasperated.

Everyone gathered back into the clubroom to share what they knew.

"Me and Asia looked all over the shopping district for anything." Issei said with a sigh. He could have been looking at some titties but Kurozai took precedence apparently.

"I sent Dohnaseek out to the forest of the city, Mittlet to the housing district, and I flew over the town. We saw nothing sire." Inferna explained as she knelt before Kurozai.

"The greens found nothing young master. It seems as though the fellowship just vanished." Gnarl explained through the communication spell.

Kurozai began to groan before it evolved into a yell. "Where the FUCK could they be hiding?!?" Kurozai shouted. "Where haven't we checked?"

Kalawarna pulled out a map from a back pack she wore and laid it out across Kurozai's desk.

Most areas were marked off with an X. However the few that weren't didn't make se-

"Who was in charge of searching the church?" Kurozai asked as he gritted his teeth, pointing at the unmarked church.

"No one was." Kalawarna said as she slowly backed up from the Overlord.

"So… you're telling me that the one place in town you didn't search. Is the SAME, place you all hid. Can you tell me WHY?" Kurozai asked, as he calmed himself.

"... I don't kn- WAHHHHHHHHH" Kalawarna started to speak but Kurozai threw her out of the window behind him.

"Everyone gather your shit and armor up. We're going to church." Kurozai said as he walked out of the room. After he left, Kalawarna crawled back in through the window to join the others.

-DXD-

Kurozai and his followers crept through the forest, making as little sound as possible with Green minions following, along with their evolved variants.

The evolved green minions looked much more reptilian and similar to giant bipedal monitor lizards with large claws.

Rias and her devils were nearby, ready to spring a trap on the fellowship. With a signal, Kurozai moved in and kicked down the door.

"PREPARE TO Die….. they're not here."

The inside of the church was empty, yet showed signs of recently being cleared out.

Mittlet informed the devils it was clear and the group began to search for clues.

Kurozai ripped open the trap door and explored for a minute… however it was empty as well.

It was more empty than he left it when he attacked. Aside from the exorcists he had seen, the ruins of the building had been cleared away.

"So we finally meet."

Kurozai turned around and jumped back. He wasn't alone!

Standing in front of him was someone in a suit of Overlord style armor, yet it was made of Lava. It dripped down into a pool surrounding it's feet.

"And who am I meeting?" Kurozai asked as he readied himself for a fight.

"Oh put your sword away. You couldn't even hurt me if you wanted, this is more of a way to talk."

"Still doesn't answer my question." Kurozai said as his eyes narrowed. He kept his sword ready, but lowered it slightly.

"Yes, well, I'm not in the business of information. No, I am here to offer you an invitation."

"Oh yeah? What, are you inviting me to a fanclub or something?" Kurozai taunted.

"Hrmmm, yes, Inferna did say you make jokes. But, again, no. I'm here to offer you the chance to join me. Give ME your title as overlord, and I'll make sure your town is protected when I-"

"PYROS!" Kurozai shouted and chucked a ball of fire at the magma man.

"... Very well. Can't blame me for trying. However young Overlord, you should know, you've made a powerful enemy." The magma man said as it began to vanish. "The fellowship are currently hiding on the other side of the country. I'd recommend you hurry before they sink it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha" The magma man finished vanishing with a maniacal laugh.

Kurozai cussed and ran upstairs.

-OVERLORD-

In a large field at the northern end of Japan, the fellowship were waiting for confirmation.

Inferna watched the fire in front of her. Hoping that it would bubble up to let her get revenge.

Malady powered up her minions using Cryos' staff to preserve her own mana reserves.

And Hakon finished placing the last dwarven mine. If all went according to plan, they wouldn't have to do this. However from what the dwarf saw from the new overlord, he highly doubted anything would go right.

The scream of elation from Inferna told Hakon, he was right.

With the bombs ready, Hakon stepped away from them to wait for the Overlord. Without any reliable way to fly, it would take a while to get to them.

As Hakon waited, he noticed some birds in the sky… Then he screamed to get the girls and minions attention.

Those weren't birds. Because birds don't drop people in armor.

-DXD-

Three minutes prior.

"We will never speak of this again." Kurozai asked the only person able to carry him this far.

Koneko nodded. "Agreed."

The plan to get across the country was for those that couldn't fly, were going to be carried by those that could.

Rias flew lower to speak to the Overlord. "We're nearing a large well of magic, most likely the Fellowship. Do you have any plans?"

Kurozai shrugged. "Plan of attack, is to attack. I'll come up with more when we get down there."

Koneko deadpanned at the Overlord. "I can only see this going well."

"Hey! Shut up! Alright, these guys aren't tactical geniuses. This time we have a drop on them." Kurozai said as he looked down.

Kiba flew close, with Dohnaseek in his arms. "Sire, remember what we told you about those gray minions."

"Yeah, they're slow and weak but you gotta melt them, if on the off chance I run into some I know what to do." Kurozai nodded and looked down with an evil grin. "Alright. LET'S GO! EVERYONE WITH ARMOR, DROP!"

Play: A cup of Liber-tea

Koneko let go of the Overlord, whose armor sprung up. Once covered, his cape birthed itself on his back and began to flap around in the wind.

Issei and Asia fell soon after, with Kalawarna falling last. Their armors sprung up as well, however Asia had to keep her hands over the dress she wore to make sure it didn't flop up, regardless of Issei's wishes.

The four armored individuals plummeted fast, until they landed, causing the ground beneath them to crater. Kurozai's being the biggest.

Said Overlord jumped up and planted his left hand into the ground, causing four minion gates to open up and summon a swarm of minions.

End: Song

"CHARGE! KILL! BRING ME THEIR HEADS!!!" Kurozai shouted as his minions reveled in the carnage and charged forward.

As the minions charged and clashed with their metal covered brethren, Kurozai and his followers pushed past them and into the danger zone.

Everyone else dropped down and assisted the minions.

Kurozai split the four of them up. Issei and Asia would take on Malady, Kalawarna went head to head against Hakon and Kurozai clashed his blade against Inferna's.

-OVERLORD-

[BOOST!]

Issei slugged Malady in the face with the boosted strength. The mage was knocked back a few feet.

"LITTLE BRAT!" She shouted and coated the ground with an electric spell. Issei charged forward, narrowly avoiding the ring of electricity she had set up. Grabbing Malady by the arm, he spun around and threw her into her own electricity.

With the jolts coursing through her body, she screeched in pain.

However, Issei lost focus, instead watching her breasts bounce around from her flopping. "hehehehe…" He giggled mindlessly.

Asia, flustered, bonked Issei on the head. "Issei!!! If you want to look at boobs, look at mine!" She yelled at the perverted general.

"Er- well- Asia, the thing is-"

"SHUT UP!" Malady yelled and planted her staff into the ground, causing the earth to rise and surround the duo. "Just like your fucking boss you don't SHUT UP! Who gives a damn about breasts?! I just want to kill you!" Malady shouted.

Issei's helmet darkened. "Who gives a damn about breasts?" He asked in a low voice, before the eyes behind his helmet flared a bright green color. "I GIVE A DAMN! REGARDLESS OF WHAT MY BOSS SAYS ILL NEVER STOP GIVING A DAMN! BECAUSE WOMEN ARE A TEMPLE AND I AM DEVOTED TO THEM!" Issei shouted to the heavens and broke free from the stone prison, stunning Malady into breaking the spell. "I DONT GIVE A DAMN IF YOU GOT BIG BOUNCY BREASTICLES! IM GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!"

Issei dashed forward and delivered a devastating gut punch to the spell caster.

[BOOST BOOST BOOSTBOOSTBOOST!]

With even stronger boosts, Issei sent Malady flying through the air and into the craters they had made prior.

Issei, and Asia who had run up to heal some rock punctures Issei received from breaking out of the rocks, both give chase to Malady.

Asia, ready to help Issei at a moment's notice.

And Issei wanting to put Malady in her place for disrespecting boobs.

-DXD-

Rias melted another gray minion and moved forward.

She and the other devils were relegated to back up as Kurozai and his generals fought against the heavy hitters.

Most things couldn't penetrate these minions' armor, however from the information Kiba relayed, extreme heat would melt the armor and allow ease of access to the soft skin.

Rias grimaced as she heard grinding metal and minion screams.

Koneko however wasn't most things. Most people wouldn't use a minion as a weapon. She also wasn't most people.

As such, Koneko shattered parts of armor with a gray minion she grabbed and let either Akeno or Kiba take care of them.

"How's the pervert doing?" Koneko asked over the chaos, trying to figure out how quickly they could get back so she could eat sweets.

Dohnaseek was the one who responded, much to both of their displeasure. "General Hyoduo is currently beating the Netherghoul into the ground for disrespecting breasts… so I assume not well."

Koneko, with her ever blank state, continued killing minions. "Good."

Kiba just sighed as he finished up an open minion. "Hey Akeno, are you doing okay?" Kiba asked, looking up at the flying devil.

"I'm fine. Just- TAKE THIS!" Akeno started but stopped to fry a group of Minions.

"WARGGG!"

"Just enjoying myself as well as I can." Akeno finished with a giggle. "NOW SCREAM FOR ME!"

"HELP US!"

"LOUDER!"

-OVERLORD-

Kalawarna threw another spear at Hakon, however the little dwarf cut the spear of light in half. She growled animalistically, summoned a new spear and charged the dwarf. "Ya hit like a little girl!" Hakon shouted as he blocked the attack with his axes, scoffing at the red general.

This pissed Kalawarna off further as her spears of light seemed to start inverting. Stealing light instead of giving it. "I'LL SHOW YOU LITTLE!" Kalawarna shouted and threw the darkening spear at Hakon.

Hakon scoffed and prepared to split the spear again, however as it approached, it exploded on its own, bathing the grass in fire.

Hakon backed away from the fire, to see Kalawarna emerging from the flames like a phoenix. She swung wildly and full of anger.

The dwarf blocked as much as he could, however Kalawarna found a moment to strike and-

Hakon coughed up blood as the spear of darkness exploded in his chest. He couldn't keep track of the red general.

"Damn… yah got… me." Hakon coughed out a laugh before collapsing into a pool of his own blood.

Kalawarna snarled and flipped a spear to burn the remnants of the final dwarf away. With confidence in her stride, Kalawarna moved to assist the devils in fighting against the seemingly impenetrable horde of minions.

-DXD-

Kurozai and Inferna dashed at each other, clashing blades in sparks and flames. With his single blade, the Overlord held the advantage in spell casting. This didn't leave Inferna magicless. She could use spells from her helmet's mouth. With that, Inferna sent out a wave of fire that Kurozai rolled out of. He responded back with a torrent of his own flames.

Kurozai rose a part of the ground up to launch himself up into the air and get the drop on Inferna, However she caught on and crossed her swords to charge up a cross made of fire and launched it at Kurozai.

The Overlord gritted his teeth and took the heat head on.

"I can see why they call you hot!" Kurozai taunted, trying to make Inferna crack.

It was working as she sprinted to slice the Overlord in half. Kurozai responded in kind and blocked both of her blades with his own. With his free hand he punched Inferna's exposed torso, causing her to cough up blood. Taking advantage, Kurozai began to deliver a flurry of slashes and swipes at Inferna, nicking any exposed piece of skin and chipping away at her armor.

"ENOUGH!" Inferna shouted and slashed up at Kurozai, cutting through his chest plate with her heated blades. "I WILL NOT BE KILLED BY SOME LOUD MOUTHED PUNK! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU AND THEN USE YOUR CORPSE AS A COAT RACK!" Inferna shouted in anger, losing any form of reason or rationale.

Kurozai scoffed. "You want me that bad? You could just ask." he taunted. Inferna visibly snapped and started screaming like a mad woman, slashing her blades in a wide arc, not even caring if she got hurt.

'gotcha.' Kurozai thought and planted his sword into the ground. He then whispered to himself.

"It is by my birthright as an Overlord I command the earth, the people and the creatures that walk upon it! With humans, creatures and magical beings all fearing the Sins I wield. I command my enemies to quiver in their boots! Overlordian Sin of Wrath!"

"Bring the downfall of my enemies as they lose themselves to their anger, and bring me my assured victory in my, OVERLORDS WRATH!!" KUROZAI shouted and ran forward, his sword charging a black energy along the blade.

Inferna rushed forward and swung her swords down to cleave the Overlord into three parts. KUROZAI grinned and swung his sword like one would a bat.

And KUROZAI hit a home run as the black energy shot out and sliced through Inferna, like she was butter.

She stumbled for a moment. "That's… not fair…" she coughed out. "You don't deserve to w…." Whatever Inferna was going to say, faltered as she split in half.

KURozai chuckled to himself as the black energy vanished. "Keep telling yourself that." The Overlord began to loot the corpse. Hoping for anything valuable. When he found nothing, he scoffed and kicked the top half. "What a fucking fluke! She didn't even have any money!" he groaned and turned back to see his followers progress.

It seems as though the only one left was Malady. Kurozai grinned and walked over to Issei and Asia. Malady was bloody. Her armor had crumbled from Issei's attacks and she sat defeated.

Kurozai sheathed his sword and grabbed Malady by her hair. "Where's the minion hive?" He asked her as he lifted her off the ground.

"The church... We hid it in the church after we left…" Malady weakly spoke.

Kurozai growled and began to drag her behind him as he walked to the bombs. "We searched the church! Try again!" He shouted at her, throwing her against the bombs.

The Netherghoul just stared off into space. "I left it in the basement." Kurozai's eyes narrowed. He kicked her in the stomach, causing her to vomit up crimson energy.

"I'm giving you one more chance. Where. Is. The. Hive? Lie to me again and I'll give you to the minions." Kurozai threatened, planting his foot on her leg, taking satisfaction from the crunch of her bones.

"It was hidden… behind some large crosses and tarps." She informed him Kurozai thought back, before his encounter with the magma man, he did see something like that in the corner.

The Overlord smacked the side of his helmet and laughed. "Aw shit! It was there! HAHA. Alright thanks." Kurozai smiled and got up. He began to walk away, but stopped. Kurozai's helmet vanished and he smiled darkly and snapped his magic gauntlet.

The bombs Malady were on exploded into a condensed area, solely focusing on her. Some were spared from exploding and simply rocked back and forth.

Kurozai's helmet returned as he walked away to the remaining gray minions. At this point, they were kneeling in respect to their true Overlord. His eyes scanned over the lot before he picked one out. "You! With the chipped chest, come here." He ordered as the minions parted revealing a slightly taller minion with a large chunk of metal missing from its chest.

This was Kurozai's first real encounter with the minions. They looked like robot minions or automatons, with mostly normal minion proportions, but instead of having ears, they had metal bolts sticking out of their head.

The minion moved forward and knelt before Kurozai. "You are my Gray minion leader. You're going to gather every minion here and transport the hive to the netherworld." Kurozai ordered, the minion nodded and turned to leave with its brethren. However Kurozai stomped on its tail. "I'm not done. Because you worked against me, even if you didn't want to or not, you're going to do it on foot. No teleportation and no gates. You will dig your way to the spawning pits and deliver the hive… and from hence forth, you will be called….. urrmm… Chip!" Kurozai demanded, and only then he let Chip go.

"Yezz Mazta!" Chip said in an echoed and metallic voice. It sounded like one was speaking through a fan.

With the confirmation of his orders, Chip commanded the minions to move out.

Kurozai looked back at the bombs… Then a dastardly idea popped into his mind.

-OVERLORD-

"Gnarl, get some of the minions working on dismantling the bombs. I want them repurposed into something." The Overlord commanded through the comms.

"I understand, and you sent the grays on foot, sire?"

"Yes. They worked against us and they're being punished for it."

"Good idea sire! A way to punish the minions without using physical violence! Ohohoho! Evil has hope yet." Gnarl cheered for his evil master. "Myself and the carpentry minions have returned to the netherworld. If you wish, you may join us in celebration?"

"I'll pass. I got shit to do still. Mainly involving this letter Fury gave me."

Gnarl's breath hitched. "Fury? As in Fury Deling-Greyus? The one who razed the glorious empire?"

"Believe so."

"I shall be joining you in the reading. Inform me beforehand and I will arrive with the speed of a yellow!" Gnarl declared with determination. It had been centuries since the minion had heard from that particular Overlord, to hear that there was a letter from said Overlord was a welcome surprise.

"I hear ya. I'm gonna go make sure everyone's alright. Goodbye." The Overlord finished the call, leaving Gnarl all giddy.

The minion master turned to the ruined throne. Many evil asses sat in that throne, yet none were quite like the spawn of the third greatest Overlord.

Gnarl could hardly wait.

-DXD-

Kurozai's armor vanished as he ran over to his generals, all of whom were exhausted. Issei moreso.

Kalawarna and Asia sat on the ground with their helmets off, but Issei was in full armor on his back.

This gave Kurozai an idea. Ever since the attack on the church they stopped working on Issei's training, and seeing he was better with his fists than a sword, it was time to get back to the grindstone.

"Good work everyone. The fellowship is no more, WE WON!" Kurozai announced with a yell. "This means we are better than at least 5% of most Overlord's."

The girls gave a hearty cheer.

Issei however was so exhausted he just pumped his fist up.

"But this means that we can't stop here." Kurozai pondered for a moment. "Today's Sunday… okay, next Sunday we're going to start some training. You all need it… and by you all, I mostly mean our two resurrections. That doesn't mean the Ex-Fallen are getting out of training. It just means you two gotta catch up."

Issei's fist flopped against his chest with a sob escaping his helmet.

Asia patted Issei's shoulder. "It's alright Issei! Now that I'm staying with you, we can help each other train."

Kalawarna scoffed, "Yeah, the only training perversion wants to do is cardio." Kalawarna laughed, but was hit on the head by Kurozai's helmet.

"Enough. You gotta work as a team or I get fucked." Kurozai informed the fallen, before bending down into her face. "And if I get fucked, you get twice as fucked." Kurozai threatened, not noticing the blush covering the red general's face.

The Overlord got out of his general's face and let his armor vanish. "Now then, let's get up so the devils can carry us home." Kurozai announced with a clap of his hands and stepped over Issei.

-OVERLORD-

After the battle, everyone went home to rest, with Kurozai and his ex-fallen returning to his home.

The ex-fallen all filed into their shared bedroom and passed out from exhaustion.

Night had come and many of the battlers were sleeping the fatigue of the day off.

Kurozai however set his gauntlet down and pulled out the letter. The final seal vanished and the letter was ready.

Gnarl burst into the bedroom, exhausted from running all the way to the spawning pits, to the gates, to the one that led to Kurozai's home and through the residence.

The elder minion was exhausted and generously sat down in the chair his overlord provided.

"Are you ready?" Kurozai asked the minion master, who nodded in response, gnawing on a bone he had brought as the suspense was killing him.

With no further hesitation Kurozai opened the letter and emptied it out.

A small blue gem shard fell out of a paper, the paper looked fancy and seemed to be papyrus.

Kurozai unfolded the letter and read aloud.

"To the newest Overlord,

I hope this letter found you well. If I have given you this letter by hand, ignore this, but if not, I am Fury Deling-Greyus, Witch Boy of Nordburg and Dark Lord of the dark empire.

This letter has been delivered unto you with an unfortunate request.

Recently, a group of mortals have begun to cause a disturbance in our ranks and have even snatched away some of the weaker Overlords, with promise of power.

This group has dubbed themselves, The Chaos Brigade.

Among the dissenting Overlord's, three in particular have raised major concern in Corruptis.

We will be withholding these names for now and will inform you of them during your initiation at the Corruptis council of the seven.

However, not all is grim. Due to these dissenters, I have been given permission to train you after the initiation is complete.

My father has spoken praise of you and after watching you deal with those fallen angels, I too, am excited to train you.

Personally, I believe you could rise to become a great tyrant. But I shall save it for our meeting.

Finally, as previously stated, the council of the seven are inviting you, Gnarl, your generals, and two guests of your choice to Corruptis, two months from now for your initiation into your true Overlord status.

Included with this message is a shard of evil. Upon our calling, you will shatter it onto the ground and it will transport your group to Corruptis.

We request you all are clad in armor, as it is frowned upon to not be.

Awaiting your arrival,

Overlord Fury Deling-Greyus."

Kurozai finished reading and looked down to the minion master, who had worry in his eyes.

"Dissenting Overlords… that doesn't bode well sire." Gnarl spoke wearily, he had survived many Overlord vs Overlord conflicts. Yet not to this scale. Whomever these three were, it worried Gnarl as he tried to recall who would take that deal. "We must get your army ready sire. I believe that we should prepare the forge first so we can outfit your generals with weapons."

Kurozai nodded. "Yeah… Do me a favor, don't inform the others of this. They just got done fighting some enemies of old Overlord's. If they learned that our lives were being threatened by this… Chaos Brigade, then I doubt morale will be high." Kurozai lamented.

Gnarl hummed in agreement.

The two remained in silence for a while, plotting on their next move.

-DXD-

"I never should have trusted them!" A masculine voice roared as someone threw a large stone. "I was a fool for believing they could kill him!"

"Yes… well now you know not to do it again, do you not?" A feminine voice piped up, earning a growl from the first.

"Silence both of you!" A third voice, this one a deep masculine yelled. The room they were in echoed his voice. "We cannot lament on what was. Yes, the fellowship failed, but that was not the intention. It was to gauge the Overlords abilities. He is stronger than we thought, fine. We shall account for it next time."

"Oh? And how shall we account for it you dafter? When I left, they were sendin Fury out to train the boy." the female spoke.

"We know Fury and his abilities. Even with evil presence, we can overwhelm him together. All we need to do is plan our attack…" the deep voice thought for a moment. "The Brigade's spies told me something earlier. There are talks of a large meeting coming soon, between the Angels, Fallen and Devil's."

"And? What does this have to do with the Overlord?" the male asked.

"They'll need neutral ground to meet on, and what better place than the one protected by the Overlord?" The deep voice laughed. "You shall redeem yourself and get the drop on him. Along with that, we can take out heaven and hell, possibly claim them for the brigade, as a way to give thanks."

The female then laughed. "Then once they're all comfy in their seats, we rip the rug out from under 'em?"

"Precisely! We shall reign once more! And no one, Overlord, Hero or otherwise shall dethrone us again!"

The trio began to laugh manically.

This time, evil would make its own way!
