Chapter 7:

It's tough to be an overlord

Pink was pacing back and forth in their shared apartment as Ashley was sitting on their raggedy couch, a wide legged stance and a beer bottle in her hand, which she used her large, shark like teeth to twist the bottle-cap off before unceremoniously spitting it into the nearby trashcan with impressive aim, clearly having done this very thing many times before.

"THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH!" Pink profusely blurted out to herself as she had gone over the events with the hammerhead-shark sinner from the day before.

"THAT kinda power you displayed, it was fueled by the soul contracts you own, you're growing in strength! It all makes sense now!"

Ashley just shrugged as she took a few good swigs of her beer "I still have no fucking clue what in the cinnamon-toast fuck you're on about, Pink, but, sure" She shrugged, taking another swig from her beer, ending it with a satisfied sigh as she ice cold liquid quenched her thirst.

The pink sinner looked at her friend "Do you even know how soul contracts work?

Ashley shook her head nonchalantly.

"Or how overloards gain their power?"

Ashley responded "I always just assumed they were strong from the moment they manifested and claimed a niche for themselves"

Pink grabbed her friend by the shoulders as she began to shake her around in an excited manner "Overlords get their power from soul contracts! From the souls they acquire through making deals! Souls that YOU own now too!" She exclaimed with a wide grin on her face.

The shark like sinner narrowed her eyes "ahhh so THAT'S why the bullies have been getting weaker, I just though they were starting to get sloppy"

Pink rubbed her forehead as she grumbled "Ashley, I KNOW you're pretty booksmart, but MY GOD can you be DENSE sometimes"

Ashley just smirked and gave Pink her classic trademark "fingerguns" as she stated "High intelligence, low wisdom, baby"

Pink pinched the bridge of her nose "You play way too much dungeons and dragons sometimes, you know that?" she answered to her friend's reference.

Ashley put on a mock-offended tone "Hey, there is NO such thing as "too much Dungeons and dragons", I'll let you know" As she scoffed in a playful manner.

She then leaned her elbows on her knees as she put her hands together, seemingly in deep thought "But if I take from this what I THINK you're trying to say is, that I'm well on my way of possibly creating a name for myself as the likes of "the radio demon" and Carmilla "fucking" CARMINE herself?"

Pink leaned against the wall, arms crossed, staring off into no particular direction "If you keep going like this…there IS a chance….."

She then turned to her friend with a smile, a wide, almost Cheshire like grin.

To this, Ashley gained a very similar smile as she spoke "Ohhh I KNOW that smile, you got a plan, don't you, pink?"

Pink just walked to the fridge, grabbed a beer for herself and used her horn to dislodge the cap as she tossed it into the trashcan from across the room "Think of it, Ash, We wanted to make a difference down here, right? Stand up for the little guy…with that fucking axe of yours, and this new power…..we can possibly DO that! Make a change, for the better" she spoke before taking a few swigs of the cold beer.

"We could even use this to help the princess and her hotel, I mean, you're going after bullies, right? Who better then to show the error of their ways then bullies?" Pink was practically beaming.

Ashley threw her arms in the air "Fuckin' Christ on a bike, YOU'RE RIGHT! This might just be the fucking push we need! And there'd be no shortage of souls to claim, I mean, there'll ALWAYS be bullies, their souls ripe for the taking!"

She then slumped back into her seat on the couch "But what about the other overlords? I mean, this is a dangerous game we'll be playing, I own maybe a few, like, sure, it's allot, but it's still a two digit number, they own THOUSANDS of souls" As her face took on a more solemn expression "If we don't play our cards right, we're both screwed. Do we really wana mingle and mess with the likes of Alastor, Carmilla Carmine and Zestiel? And don't even get me started about the fucking Vee's!"

To this, Pink neon just closed her eyes and tilted her head down with a cocky smirk "How good are your acting chops?" she simply asked her bestie.

Ashley narrowed her gaze in confusion " Uhhhhh…yea ya lost me there, toots….."

Pink put down her beer on the coffee table, walked over to her friend and put both her hands on her shoulders "Ever heard of "fake it till you make it"? We don't HAVE to deal with them…..not for a good while anyway"

Ashley just looked at her in confusion "What do you mean?"

Pink knew she had her friend's full, undivided attention "You just need to keep doing your thing. Beat up bullies, collect more contracts, claim more souls, and have the populace; other sinners BELIEVE you are an overlord. You don't have to convince the other overlords you're one of them, not yet anyway…"

She turned around and pranced around the room, swaying her hips in a cocky manner as she ran her long, succubus like tail across Ashley's face "And by the time you have to deal with the likes of Carmine, the Vee's and the radio demon, you will own SO MANY SOULS, that it won't just be pretend anymore" as she then walked back to her friend and placed a playful boop on her nose "…..by that time…..you ARE an overlord…." As she used her tail to pick up her beer from the table, shifted it to her hand and chugged the whole thing.

She then threw the bottle over her shoulder without looking as it landed inside that same trashcan with a near perfect arch as she held up her pinky finger "What do you say, "ride-or-die"?"

Ashley lowered her head, before a large smirk crawled its way onto her face "This plan is fucking crazy, Pink…..big chance for fuckups…..and we might get a whole bunch of VERY powerful people on our asses…but FUCK ME, if it isn't crazy enough to actually work!" As she excitedly got up and hooked her own pinky into her friend's

"FUCKING RIDE-OR-DIE, PINK, if you say I'm an overlord, then BY FECK, I'M A FUCKING OVERLORD!"

The 2 sinner ladies were just bouncing on their feet in excitement as their little scheme was slowly coming together "Now, you just need a fucking name, something that rolls off the tongue nicely, something they'll remember….." pink pondered "You'll be creating a lot of misfortune, bullies left and right will fear you, it'll be total anarchy"

Ashley went over what her friend just said "….misfortune…anarchy…PINK, THAT'S IT, YOU'RE A FECKIN' GENIUS!" she said as she grabbed her friend by the shoulders and shook her around as pink responded " I am?….i mean, aw thank you for noticing"

Ashley responded "….."Misfortune"…gets it? ….As in "Miss" fortune?" Pink's eyes widened " holy fucking shitballs, you're right"

As Pink said this, they both looked at each other, eyes wide and a smile on their face as they spoke in unison "MISS FORTUNE, THE ANARCHY DEMON!"

As Ashley ran to the fridge and came back with 2 new, already opened beers as she handed one to her friend and held up her own "A toast….to the anarchy demon…."

Pink excitedly dinked her bottle to Ashley's "cheers….to the anarchy demon" And as both of them downed their drinks.

Neither of them got much sleep that night as they began to chart out their course of action…..the road to fame for "the anarchy demon" ….."Miss fortune"…..…..

Author's note:

In case you're wondering, yes, i kinda based Ashley's rise to power on the premise of "road to el dorado"

Specifically the song "it's tough to be a god"

It just made sense for these 2 chaotic sinner ladies, as they also have a very similar friendship.

I had allot of fun with this one and i hope y'all enjoy
