Laharl: ...What fool dares awaken me, the great Laharl?
[Laharl sits up in the casket, blinks a few times, then shakes his head]
Etna: Prince! I'm glad you're still alive.
[Etna puts the gun away, and Laharl then stands up to face her]
Laharl: Who said I was dead? I was just taking a nap.
[Laharl looks around]
Laharl: Anyways... Why are all those weapons behind you?
[Etna looks behind her at the weapons]
Etna: Well, I was having a hard time waking you up... Laharl: Are you sure you weren't trying to kill me instead? Etna: No... Ah... I mean, yes. I just wanted to wake you up. Laharl: Hmph... Whatever. Laharl: ...so, what is it? Laharl: You better have a good reason for waking me up. Etna: Oh, yeah.
[Etna lifts her hands up]
Girl: Big news. Your father, King Krichevskoy, has died. Laharl: He what...!? When!?
[Etna puts her hands back down]
Etna: Two years ago.
[Laharl turns to his left, then closes his eyes]
Laharl: ...wait a second.
[Laharl turns back toward the girl]
Laharl: So... you're telling me that I've been sleeping for over 2 years? Etna: Yup.
[Laharl looks at the girl in shock]
Laharl: "Yup"...!? Why didn't you wake me up earlier!?
[Etna leans back and puts her hands behind her head]
Etna: Excuse me, but what do you think I've been doing all this time? Etna: The Netherworld has gone to hell while you were sleeping.
[Etna looks to her right]
Etna: It's not my fault if some other demon steals the title of Overlord. Laharl: What...? Have they forgotten whose title they are trying to steal!?
[Laharl turns to his left and crosses his arms with a smile]
Laharl: Hmhmhm... Laharl: How bold of them! I shall show no mercy... for I am Laharl, the rightful heir to the throne! Laharl: Haaaahahahaha!!!!
[Etna walks toward the casket]
Etna: Your humble vassal, Etna, will accompany you.
[Laharl speaks to the members of the castle within the throne room and courtyard]
Goleck: All the royal vassals left the castle shortly after the King died. Laharl: Even with me still around? Etna: Well, you were sleeping. They must have forgotten about you.
Manty: That's just like you, Prince, taking a 2-year nap. Laharl: I only planned on napping for about 10 days... Laharl: Hmmm... Something's not right.
Dratti: Oh well, look like I wasted my time digging that grave for you<3 Laharl: I'll put YOU in that grave instead!

[Camera shows a battlefield over an open field]
Laharl: Now, then... Time for a little warm-up. I feel a little rusty. Etna: Ah, Prince. We've got company... how convenient.
[View changes to the battle screen]
Laharl: Stray demons, huh... Etna: Allow me, Prince. Etna: You may be a little out of practice after your long slumber. Etna: Don't worry, I came prepared! Etna: Come on, Prinny Squad!!
[Leaves blow past the screen]
Etna: Get your butts out here, NOW!!
[3 Prinnies come out of the base panel]
Etna: So Prince, whaddya think of this Prinny Squad I hired? Etna: They're my loyal servants: they'll do anything I say.
[Prinnies begin dancing around]
Laharl: Are you sure about that?
[Etna pops out of the base panel and attacks the three Prinnies]
Etna: See, they're loyal. Laharl: ...Does it make sense to beat up your allies before a battle? Laharl: Anyways, I think we've made those demons wait long enough already. Etna: Hey, you're right. How nice of them to be so patient. Laharl: Yeah, that's considerate of them. Laharl: To show my appreciation, I'll only beat them half to death. Etna: Oh, you're so kind<3 If I were you, I'd beat them all the way to death. Laharl: K, Kind!? Laharl: Stop that! That word gives me goose bumps! Laharl: Dammit! I take it back! I'm gonna beat them all the way to death! Etna: (He's still a kid, so quick-tempered.) Etna: (It looks like carrying out my plan will be a lot easier than I thought <3) Laharl: Hm? You say something? Etna: Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. So, what are your orders, Prince? ...You do remember how to fight, right?
[Scene shifts to the actual battle]
---
Zommie: There is a new demon named Vyers who has been gaining strength. Laharl: Never heard of him. Laharl: Probably no one important.
---
Etna: Wow. This is a pretty nice place. Etna: Ah! That vase would sell for a lot. Laharl: Fool! That makes us petty thieves. Laharl: I can't disgrace the name of the Overlord. I have to be impartial and... Etna: Impartial and... what? Laharl: ...plunder everything!! Etna: Ohh! That's our Prince! You're so ruthless. Prinny Squad: Hey there, you atrocious fiend! Etna: You cold-blooded monster! Prinny Squad: A demon among demons! Laharl: Hmph... Quit complimenting me so much... It's embarrassing. Laharl: Now, listen up! I want you to pillage and plunder anything and everything in this castle!! Prinny Squad: Aye aye, dood! Laharl: Haaahahahaha!!
---
Laharl: So? I'm the heir. That's all that matters. Laharl: If they've forgotten, then I'll just have to make them remember. Vyers: I see. So you saw my potential and decided to strike first against moi... Vyers: Such wonderful intuition... Well played, son of Krichevskoy. Laharl: I've never even heard of you. It's only a coincidence that we're here. Laharl: You're just a tiny stepping stone on my path to the throne. Vyers: *gasp* How dare you! I am the Dark Adonis Vy... Laharl: Who gives a damn about you? Your new name is "Mid-Boss". Vyers: Mi, Mi, Mid-Boss!? Etna: Looks like you hurt his pride, Prince. Mid-Boss: Unforgivable... Mid-Boss: That is unforgivable!!!!
---
Mid-Boss: Heh... I have underestimated your skill. I took you for but a child. Mid-Boss: But, that was an error in judgement... I am too kind-hearted. Laharl: Liar. You were serious just now. Etna: How pathetic. Nothing's worse than a sore loser. Mid-Boss: Ugh...! What repulsive little brats you are. Mid-Boss: I shall come to return the favor, so do not forget moi!!
Laharl: Who are you, and why are you in my room talking to yourself!?
[Flonne turns around]
Flonne: Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!
[Flonne bops Laharl on the head, and Laharl gets knocked backwards]
Laharl: Owww...! What the heck did you do that for!? Flonne: Oh, I'm sorry. You scared me, so I accidentally... Flonne: (...Huh? Is he a demon...?) Flonne: (There are demons this young...? I didn't know that.) Laharl: Hmph... So, who are you? Flonne: Me?
[Flonne takes a few steps toward Laharl]
Flonne: Nice to meet you. I'm an assassin.
[Flonne turns around]
Flonne: Whoops. I wasn't supposed to say that.
[Laharl takes a few steps toward Flonne]
Laharl: ...You're pretty dense, aren't you?
[Flonne turns toward Laharl]
Flonne: My! How rude, calling somebody you just met dense! Laharl: I think that an assassin who tries to kill someone in his sleep is a lot ruder. Flonne: ...You're right. I apologize. Laharl: (...Is she really an assassin?) Flonne: It looks like I failed this time, so I guess I'll be leaving now.
[Flonne takes a bow]
Flonne: I'll be back again. Please take care.
[Flonne runs out of the room]
Laharl: H, Hey! Wait! Laharl: Someone! Get in here, now!!
[Etna walks into the room and puts her hand on her hip]
Etna: Why are you yelling at this time of night? Ohhh, did you have a nightmare?
[Laharl crosses his arms, his eyes turn red, and his hair sticks straight up]
Laharl: No, you fool! An assassin has infiltrated the castle! Etna: Huh?
[Laharl becomes relaxed again]
Laharl: What happened to the Prinnies that were supposed to be on patrol!? Etna: They've partied themselves to sleep.
[Laharl's hair sticks straight up, and his eyes turn red again]
Laharl: Those idiots...!! Laharl: I'm gonna smack 'em! Wake them up, now!! Laharl: We've got an assassin to track down!!
[Fade to black]
---
Gargo: I heard about the assassin. Gargo: Congratulations! Assassination attempts mean that you're a full-fledged demon. Laharl: ...Am I supposed to be happy?
---
Etna: Prince, she must be from Celestia. Laharl: Makes no difference to me. Laharl: Angel or god, anyone who opposes me will suffer a terrifying death. Laharl: Hmhmhm...! Say your prayers! Flonne: Please don't push yourselves too hard. You guys can run if it gets dangerous. Laharl: Don't let her escape! Laharl: We'll teach her a lesson!
---
[Etna fires a Fire spell, which bounces off of Flonne's Reflect spell, just misses a dodging Etna, and burns Laharl]
Laharl: Now you've done it! I had my hair just how I wanted it! This is unforgivable!
[Laharl's eyes turn red, and his hair sticks straight up in the air]
Laharl: Feel the wrath of Laharl!!
[Flonne runs away]
---
[Camera shows Laharl and Etna cornering Flonne against an icy wall]
Laharl: You can't escape! Laharl: I'm proud to say that I'm the most persistent demon in all the Netherworld! Flonne: Is that so? Wow... That's really something.
[Laharl takes a few steps toward Flonne]
Laharl: ...Are you trying to make a fool of me?
---
Flonne: Wow... You defeated my dragon. Laharl: Hmhmhm... You've caused a lot of trouble for me. Laharl: I don't know who hired you, but I'll make you regret the day you tried to assassinate the great Laharl! Flonne: Uh... Excuse me, but... Flonne: Why would I want to assassinate you? Laharl: Huh? Flonne: I am Angel Trainee Flonne. Flonne: I am here by order of the Seraph to assassinate the Overlord, King Krichevskoy. Laharl: ...You're here to kill my old man? Flonne: Your old man...? Flonne: That means... you're the King's son? Etna: Doesn't anyone in Celestia read the newspaper? Flonne: ...? Laharl: ...You came all the way from Celestia for nothing. Laharl: My old man died 2 years ago. Flonne: *sniff* Flonne: *sniff* ...I'm sorry... Laharl: H, Hey! Why are you crying? Flonne: Your father passed away, right...? Flonne: You'll never see him again... Flonne: When I think about that, it makes me sad... Laharl: Huh? Laharl: Are you crazy!? Laharl: You came here to assassinate him, right? Why should you be sad? Flonne: Are you not sad? Laharl: Me? I don't have that emotion. Flonne: That's not true. Flonne: When you lose someone or something important to you, you cry, don't you? Your heart aches, doesn't it? Laharl: Hmph... I don't understand a word you're saying. Flonne: How come? Laharl: "How come?" Because I'm a demon, of course! Flonne: Demons don't know sadness? Laharl: E, Exactly! I've never experienced such an emotion in my entire life! Flonne: If that's true, then does that mean demons don't know love, either? Flonne: Sadness is only possible because of love. Laharl: You're right. Demons have no love, either! Flonne: That's... Flonne: That's just... too sad... Laharl: (She sounds just like my mother.) Laharl: (How stupid! Love...?) Laharl: (What good is it? What's the point in having it?) Laharl: (Love is the reason Mother is dead!) Laharl: (I don't believe... I'll never believe in love!!) Flonne: (If demons really don't know love, then it's my duty as a Celestian to to explore the matter.) Flonne: (I was ordered to assassinate the Overlord, but this must be a sign from the heavens.) Flonne: (It has to be!) Flonne: (Whether demons are pure evil or not... If they really don't feel love... I will bear witness to the truth!) Laharl: What's love good for!? I don't need it... Laharl: Demons like me don't need that kind of crap! Flonne: If that is true, then demons are a real threat to Celestia. Flonne: Since I can't complete my mission, I have decided that my new goal is to learn the true nature of demons. Flonne: I must know for certain whether or not demons are capable of love. Flonne: And if necessary... Flonne: I will carry out my original mission with a new target! Laharl: Hmhmhm... Laharl: Hmhmhm!! Laharl: Haaahahahaha!! Laharl: Alright! Be my guest! Laharl: I shall burn a true vision of horror into that empty head of yours!
Laharl: Salary? Etna: Yep. Today's the Prinny Squad's payday. Laharl: I get that part. Laharl: Now, explain to me why I have to pay YOUR vassals' salary. Etna: My vassals are your vassals, right? Etna: Then, it's only natural that you sign their paychecks. Laharl: Ugh... I can't argue with that... Laharl: ...Fine. But, it's not comin' outta my pocket. Etna: Huh? I thought you had plenty of money. Laharl: That's my allowance! No one's touching it! Etna: Stingy... Laharl: Shut up! ...So, who's the richest guy around here? Laharl: We'll just loot his place!! Flonne: ...Is he always like this? Etna: Yep, always. Flonne: I've never met anybody like that in Celestia. Etna: I'd be amazed if you did. Etna: But, you won't last long in the Netherworld if something like this surprises you. Flonne: Oooh... This is such a culture shock to me...
---
[Laharl speaks to everyone in the castle]
Goleck: Why are the folks up in Celestia sending an assassin here now? Goleck: There hasn't been any interaction between us and them for thousands of years... Laharl: Angels hating demons is old news. But, this may be the start of something big. Laharl: Things could get interesting. Hmhmhm...
Manty: Where is the assassin? I'll take him on. Flonne: Good day. I am Angel Trainee Flonne, the assassin dispatched from Celestia. Pleased to meet you. Manty: Oh, nice to meet you too... Manty: Prince, you sure this is the assassin? Laharl: ...Don't ask.
---
Laharl: What the...!? These are all from the castle. Etna: It was probably taken when the King died. Laharl: ...So, this place belongs to an ex-vassal. Laharl: Hmhmhm...This'll be fun!! Laharl: Hey, Prinnies! This is for your paychecks! You better work hard!! Prinny Squad: Aye aye, dood!
---
[Camera shows a portrait of a regal demon]
Laharl: It's a portrait of my old man... Flonne: Oh... So, this is what Mr. Krichevskoy looked like? Etna: That's right. He was a magnificent Overlord. Laharl: Hmph. Not even. Laharl: I was ready to dethrone him myself, but he went and croaked on his own. Etna: Hey Prince, can I have it? Laharl: Sure, go ahead.
---
[Camera shows the throne room within Dinero Palace]
Greedy Demon: One, two, three, four... Greedy Demon: *snicker* O money, how do I love thee?$ Let me count the ways<3$ Greedy Demon: With you to fund my military campaign, I shall become the next Overlord!$ *snort* Laharl: Long time no see, Hoggmeiser. Hoggmeiser: Who's there!?$ Laharl: Hmhmhm... Don't tell me you've forgotten me. Hoggmeiser: ...Who are you?$ Laharl: Laharl!! The heir to the throne!! King Krichevskoy's son!!!! Hoggmeiser: ...Oh yeah$ *snort* Hoggmeiser: Ever since the King died, I knew I was forgetting something... Ahhhh, so it was you, Prince$ Laharl: You call yourself a vassal!? Etna: You know how demons are. You always say not to be so picky about the details. Laharl: I'm not a detail! Etna: Oh, don't be so self-centered. Hoggmeiser: I'm glad you helped refresh my memory$ It was nagging me like a fish bone stuck in my throat$ *snort* Laharl: F, Fish bone!? You...! Hoggmeiser: ...Well, what do you want?$ Laharl: Whaddya mean, what do I want? Now that my old man's dead, I'm the Netherworld's next Overlord! Laharl: I'm taking back everything that's mine... And the rest of your fortune, too! Hoggmeiser: *snicker* Hoggmeiser: Don't push your luck$ *snort* Just because you're the King's son, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want$ Hoggmeiser: It's strength that counts in the Netherworld$ If you want what is now mine, you'll have to take it by force$ Laharl: That's exactly what I had in mind! Laharl: Enough talk; let's go!! Flonne: (Fighting over money and power...) Flonne: (Were the angels right about demons...?) Flonne: (If they really are evil, then...)
---
[After the battle, the camera shows the throne room again]
Laharl: Hmhmhm... you lose. I'm taking everything, as promised. Hoggmeiser: Y, You can't!$ I won't be able to survive without my money!$ Laharl: Well then, I'll just finish you off now. Hoggmeiser: *squeal* Flonne: (How cruel... Not only is he taking his money, but his life, too...) Flonne: (I can't let this happen!) Flonne: (If worse comes to worse, I'll stop him with my own two hands.)
[Flash of white comes across the screen]
Kid Demon: Wait, you bully!! Laharl: Who are you? Hoggmeiser's son? Hoggmeiser's Son: ...... Laharl: Let go. I won't go easy on you just because you're a kid. Hoggmeiser's Son: ...... Laharl: ...Hey, kid. Why are you risking your life for this greedy pig? Laharl: You wanna die? Hoggmeiser's Son: ...... Flonne: Don't you understand, Laharl? Flonne: This is love. Laharl: Here we go again... Laharl: Love, love, love. Is that all you've got in your puny little head!? You damn Love Freak! Flonne: You can call me whatever you want. But, why is it that you refuse to believe in love? Flonne: You reject it because you're afraid of it! Isn't that right?
[Screen goes white]
[Camera shows Laharl's castle in an apparent flashback]
Noble Demon: Laharl, my son. Laharl: ...Hm? Noble Demon: What do you think of me? Do you love me? Laharl: ...No, I hate you. Laharl's Father: Hm... A typical answer for a demon. Laharl's Father: Which is fine, for now. But, one day...
[Screen goes white]
[Camera goes back to the throne room within Dinero Palace]
Laharl: (Hmph... Now she's got me thinking about my old man...) Laharl: (My old man, huh...) Laharl: (What was he trying to tell me that time?) Laharl: (......) Laharl: (...Hmph, this is stupid. Why am I even thinking about this?) Laharl: (It's all that Love Freak's fault...!) Laharl: ...Forget it. I've wasted enough of my time. Etna: Huh? You're not going to finish him? Laharl: It wouldn't make me any richer. Laharl: Alright, start taking the good stuff! Laharl: ...But, make sure you leave some behind for them. Flonne: Laharl... Laharl: Hmph...
Laharl: A pendant? Flonne: Yes... It was gone when I woke up this morning. Laharl: ...And what are you trying to say? Laharl: That one of us stole your pendant? Flonne: No... If it were you... ...you would steal it impartially, right? Laharl: Hm... S, So you do get it. Laharl: Then, what do you want me to do? Flonne: I want you to... ...help me find my pendant... Laharl: Huh? Do I look like a servant boy to you? Flonne: No... but... Etna: What's wrong, Flonne? You look tired. Flonne: Y, Yes... Flonne: The Seraph gave that pendant to me before I came to the Netherworld... Flonne: An Angel Trainee like me cannot stay in the Netherworld very long without that pendant... Flonne: At this rate, I will lose all of my energy, and eventually die... Etna: Hmmmm, is that so? Well, that sucks. Etna: Prince, whatcha gonna do? Laharl: Like I should care. Laharl: She came to assassinate my old man in the first place. Etna: That's our Prince. Even capable of turning his back on such a helpless little girl. Laharl: Of, Of course... Flonne: L, Laharl... Laharl: W, What? It's the truth, isn't it? Flonne: Laharl... Flonne: If you can find my pendant, I will give you something good. Laharl: "Something good", you say? Laharl: Hmph. If I wanted it, I'd just steal it from you. Flonne: You would use violence on weak little me? Laharl: Give it up, already! I'm a demon! Laharl: It doesn't matter how you are! Even if you were old, maimed, or diseased! Flonne: ...Fine. Flonne: Then, my gift will never be yours... Laharl: ...What's that supposed to mean? Flonne: ...... Laharl: Tell me!! Flonne: ...... Laharl: ...Are you trying to provoke me? Laharl: ...... Laharl: Hmph... Fine. I've got some time to kill. Flonne: Laharl... Laharl: But! Let me make one thing clear. I'm not doing this for your sake! Laharl: And when I find the pendant, that "something good" is mine! Flonne: Thank you, Laharl. Laharl: You're an angel! You shouldn't be thanking demons. Laharl: I do what I want, when I want! Laharl: Remember that! Hmph!!

[Camera shows a mountain path highlighted by a lava-filled canyon]
Etna: It's so hot here!! What's with this place!? Etna: This is too much for me. I'm outta here. Laharl: Wait. Look at this. Etna: A feather...? Flonne: ------!! Let me see! Etna: What's so special about it? Flonne: ...This is an angel feather. Laharl: It's not yours, is it? Flonne: No... It's size... and the aura it radiates... They are both superior to mine. Flonne: This feather belongs to a high-level angel... Laharl: Hmph, no wonder this place reeks of goodness. Flonne: But, I came to the Netherworld under the Seraph's secret orders. Flonne: Why would another angel be here...? Etna: Prince, you think that angel stole Flonne's pendant? Laharl: Hmmm. I'm surprised that a Love Freak like you would have enemies. Flonne: That is not possible! An angel would never steal my pendant... Laharl: But, only angels know about the pendant, right? Flonne: W, Well... Laharl: Ah... Forget it. We still have to find it, regardless. Laharl: I don't care what kind of trouble those Celestians stir up for themselves. Flonne: ......

[Camera shows the Blazing Field battle map]
Laharl: Hey, for future reference, what kind of guy is this Seraph? Flonne: Future reference? Laharl: Yeah. I may end up fighting him one day. Laharl: I'm looking for your pendant. The least you could do is tell me. Flonne: Well, I guess it's okay. Etna: No, it's not. Flonne: Well... Master Lamington, the Seraph, is a very kind person. Flonne: He loves flowers and poems. Laharl: Now, wait a second... I only wanna hear about his weak points... Etna: Hmmmm, so you look up to the Seraph? Flonne: Yes, of course. Is there someone that you look up to? Etna: Me? The late King. Laharl: What!? Then you don't look up to ME? Etna: Nope. Laharl: Why you...! You call yourself a vassal!? Etna: Yeah... Sorta. Laharl: ...! Someone shoudl teach you some manners... Laharl: Enough of this! Let's find that pendant!
---
Mid-Boss: Hmmm? This is a beautiful pendant. Mid-Boss: It must be a gift from the heavens, a reward for my good behavior. Mid-Boss: I thank you, o god... Laharl: Moron. What demon thanks a god? Mid-Boss: Huh...? Who just called moi a moron!?
[Camera pans out to show Laharl and Flonne standing on a path below Mid-Boss]
Laharl: Me. Mid-Boss: Oh, what a lucky day, indeed. To be able to confront my rival once again! Laharl: ...Wait a second. Since when did I become your rival?
---
Laharl: Enough. I told you, you're "Mid-Boss". Mid-Boss: Haaahahahaha!! Say what you wish!
---
[Laharl appears near the top of the map with the pendant in hand]
Laharl: Don't make such a pitiful face. Laharl: Hmph... Isn't this what you're looking for?
[Laharl and Etna walk toward Laharl]
Flonne: Laharl...! Laharl: Hurry up and take it. My hand is burning. Flonne: O, Okay!
[Flonne takes the pendant from Laharl, then steps back]
Laharl: ...The pendant is telling me that my heart is wicked. Laharl: That's good to know. Flonne: Why...? Laharl: ...Why what?
[Flonne steps toward Laharl]
Flonne: Why did you do all that for the pendant? Laharl: There's only one reason. Flonne: Huh...? Laharl: To get that reward from you. Flonne: *giggle* Laharl: W, What's so funny? Flonne: Thank you, Laharl. Laharl: S, Stop it, already! I told you not to talk like that! It's giving me the chills! Laharl: Just give me my reward! Flonne: ...?
[Laharl walks toward Flonne until they are face to face, and then Laharl's eyes turn red]
Laharl: Uh, do I have to spell it out? Laharl: The reward! Give me the "something good" you promised me! Flonne: Oh, that. Flonne: I already gave it to you.
[Laharl relaxes]
Laharl: What?
[Camera shifts angles to face Flonne, and Flonne then takes a step back]
Flonne: Put your hand to your heart. Flonne: Can you feel it? The warmth inside your heart... Flonne: You faced great danger to find this pendant. Flonne: You pretend to be only evil, but there is definitely kindness in your heart. Flonne: To give you the opportunity to realize that kindness... Flonne: That is my reward for you.
[Laharl takes a step back]
Laharl: ---------!! Laharl: A, A, Are you insane!? How can you say something so crazy!? Flonne: Kindness is love. The day is near when you will awaken to love<3 *giggles* Laharl: Unbelievable! I've been tricked by an angel!! Laharl: Dammit! I'll remember this!!
[Laharl jumps straight up and off of the screen]
[Etna walks toward Flonne]
Etna: Deceiving the Prince, huh? Not bad at all.
[Flonne turns toward Etna]
Flonne: Really? Etna: You look happy. Flonne: Yes, I am. I now know that there is love within Laharl's heart. Flonne: And if there is love inside him, that means there is love in all demons. Flonne: One day, angels and demons could be friends. I couldn't be happier. Etna: Boy, that theory is a bit out there. You really are a Love Freak. Etna: But, you're bound to be disappointed if you keep expecting things to turn out so cheery. Etna: Most demons would choke you from behind without a second thought. Flonne: Hmmmm. Are you like that, Etna? Etna: Maybe. Etna: You'll find out soon enough. *giggle*
Etna: So yeah, I got pissed and kicked him right there. Flonne: There? Where is there? Etna: You know... *mumble* *mumble* Flonne: Oh, my! ...So, what happened after that? Etna: Well, of course... ...Hm? Flonne: What is that? ...A photo? Etna: Someone must've dropped it. Etna: ---------!! Flonne: ---------!! Etna: Ahahahahaha!! Flonne: Oh, my...! Is this Laharl...? Flonne: *giggle* ...Hahahaha!! Etna: Hmm? There's something written on the back. Laharl: What are you two laughing about? I can hear you from across the castle. Etna: B, B, But Prince... Look at this... Ahahaha, oh my god!! Laharl: It's just a picture. What's so... Laharl: --------------!! Flonne: I didn't know you were into that kind of thing. Flonne: I'm a bit shocked. Laharl: W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-What is this!? Etna: It's a humiliating photo of you. Laharl: I can see that!! Laharl: But, who the hell took it!? Etna: How should I know? By the way, something's written on the back. Laharl: ...What?
[Screen gets dark as the words scroll]
Dear Prince Laharl,
An embarrassing photo of you is in my possession: I await your arrival in Jotunheim.
If you choose to decline my challenge, copies of the photo will be scattered throughout the Netherworld.
"It is my wish to contend for overlordship in a fair, agreeable manner."
Laharl: Dammit!! "Fair, agreeable manner"...!? This is playing dirty! Etna: But, isn't that the demon way? Laharl: True... But this crosses the line!! Etna: ...So? Are you going or not? It's definitely a trap. Laharl: Of course I'm going! Laharl: If this picture gets spread throughout the Netherworld, I'll be ruined! Laharl: Whoever you are, you just wait! Laharl: I'll char you and your paparazzi shots in the eternal flames of Hell!
---
Goleck: But, they say that there is one who surpasses even him: "The Lord of Terror". Laharl: Hmph... There is no such thing as someone stronger than the Overlord. Laharl: That's just a legend.

[Camera shows an icy field]
Imp: ...... Laharl: ...Who are these guys? Laharl: I was looking forward to seeing what terrifying trap awaited me, but instead I find these puny little demons. Imp: ...... Laharl: What? You got something to say? Imp: A wonderful life.
[Screen flashes red]
Laharl: --------!! Imp: World peace.
[Screen flashes red]
Laharl: Gahh!! Imp: Let's all be friends.
[Screen flashes red]
Laharl: S, Stop that!! Imp: Girls take initiative.
[Screen flashes red]
Laharl: Gwaaaaaaahhh!! Flonne: Laharl? What's wrong? Etna: Oh, him? He hates it when people are optimistic. Flonne: Hmmmmm, is that so? Let's see... Flonne: Eternal love<3
[Screen flashes red]
Laharl: Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!! The most dreaded word in existence... Laharl: Y, You... You trying to kill me!? Flonne: But, that's my favorite word... Laharl: Dammit... How did they know my weakness...?
---
Laharl: *huff* *huff* Flonne: Are you alright, Laharl? Laharl: B, Barely... You nearly finished me by saying that. Flonne: You mean eternal lo... Laharl: Stop!! Laharl: You're doing that on purpose, aren't you? Etna: Prince, this isn't the time to be fooling around. We have to get that photo back. Laharl: You think I don't know that!? Etna: (......)
---
[Laharl, Etna, and Flonne all walk onto the map and are soon surrounded by Nekomatas and Succubi]
Sexy Demon: *giggle* What a cute little boy<3
[Screen flashes red as Laharl is knocked backward]
Laharl: Gaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!
[Camera angle shifts to the front of Laharl as Etna and Flonne turn toward him]
Flonne: Laharl, why are you screaming? Laharl: I, I don't know why... But for some apparent reason, I can't stand women with sexy bodies. Laharl: On a side note... Flat-chested girls like you have absolutely no effect on me.
[Etna and Flonne close in on Laharl as their eyes turn red]
Etna & Flonne: Well, excuse us for being flat!!
[Vampire demon appears above the crowd]
????: Hmhmhm... ????: Hahahahaha!!
[Laharl takes a few steps toward the vampire demon]
Laharl: Y, You're...!
[Etna takes a step forward]
Fearless Demon: It has been awhile, Prince. Do you still remember me? Laharl: How could I forget you? Laharl: You're Maderas, the vassal who was banished from the castle for stealing my old man's favorite snack, black pretzels. Flonne: *sigh* Now, that's what I call "pathetic". Laharl: So, black-pretzel-snatcher-slash-outcast, what is it that you want from me now? Maderas: I wish to become Overlord, of course. Laharl: Hmph, what a joke. What could you, a pathetic loser banished for stealing pretzels, possibly do to me? Maderas: Stop talking so tough, Prince. I know all of your weaknesses. Maderas: Isn't that right, Etna? Laharl: ---------!!?
[Laharl turns to face Etna]
Laharl: Etna... You...!?
[Camera turns to face Etna as she turns around]
Etna: ...... Maderas: Hahahahaha! Maderas: You just realized it? Fool! Maderas: Yes... Etna is my loyal dog. Maderas: As long as I hold her memory in my hands, she'll do whatever I ask. Etna: ......
[Flonne turns to face Etna]
Flonne: Etna...? Maderas: Now, dear Prince... This place shall become your grave.
[Laharl and Flonne turn to face Maderas]
Maderas: Etna, you've served your purpose. Maderas: I am quite pleased with the results. Now, die alongside your Prince.
[Etna turns to face Maderas]
Etna: But, we had a deal...! Etna: What about my memory!?
[Camera turns to face Maderas]
Maderas: What good are memories to you when you are about to die? Hmhmhm...! Maderas: Hahahahaha!!
[Maderas disappears]
Laharl: ...It all makes sense now. No wonder he knew my weaknesses.
[Laharl turns to face Etna]
Laharl: You took those photos, too, didn't you!?
[Etna turns around]
Etna: ......
[Flonne and Laharl face each other]
Flonne: Laharl... It was only because that demon stole her memory... Laharl: Silence! I accept no excuses from a traitor! Laharl: Stop blabbering and get these sexy women outta my sight!!
---
Maderas: E, Etna! What are you waiting for!? Kill Laharl! Maderas: If you refuse, I'll erase your memory for good! Etna: Go ahead, why don't ya? Maderas: What!? Etna: Two years ago... when the King died, I followed your orders and poisoned the Prince... Etna: ...so that you would give me back my memories. Laharl: What!? You tried to poison me!? Then, that long nap was all because of... Flonne: Your ears are plugged, yet you still manage to hear that one line? Etna: That's right... It was because of the poison... Etna: But, I hated myself for working under Maderas. Etna: I didn't wanna go on living like that. Etna: So, I devised a plan to escape from under his thumb. Maderas: Th, Then, why have you been following my orders until now...? Etna: *giggle* You mean it's not clear to you? Let me explain it, then... Etna: I was waiting for just the right moment to get my revenge on the bastard who ruined my life!
---
Laharl: Hmph... Using me as bait... You're one ruthless girl. Etna: Oh Prince, don't flatter me so much. It's not like Flonne or Mid-Boss were part of the plan.
---
[Camera shows the same map in which the battle took place]
Etna: Phew... That settles that. Doesn't it, Prince? Laharl: No, it doesn't!! Laharl: You tried to poison me in my sleep... You used me as bait for your revenge... What kind of vassal are you!? Flonne: B-But Laharl... Laharl: ...But! Laharl: But, I don't mind that side of you. Laharl: A true demon is always full of ambition, and aims for the top. Laharl: As King, I'll need a right-hand demon like you under my command. Etna: Prince... Laharl: Listen up! I'm going to work you into the ground! You better be prepared for it! Etna: Uh-uh. YOU better be prepared. Etna: I'll be watching your every move. If you don't prove yourself worthy of the throne... Etna: An accident may happen<3 Laharl: Hmph... You can take my place if that happens. Etna: *giggle* Don't worry, I will. Flonne: ...That's strange. Flonne: ...Laharl and Etna reconciled, despite all that's happened. Flonne: I don't understand it, but I guess demons have their own way of expressing love. Flonne: *giggle* I'm really surprised. Flonne: I have never experienced anything like this before in Celestia...
Etna: Hi, everybody, I'm Etna! I'm a 1st-grader at Netherworld Elementary! Laharl: You look and act like a 1st-grader, that's for sure. Etna: My dream is to become a witch, so I can get a cute boyfriend! Laharl: Boyfriend? That's dumb. Etna: Lovely, sexy... Hey! No touching! Etna: Boys of the world, be my loyal slaves! Laharl: Who'd want to touch you? Etna: Next on Evolutionary Magical Girl Etna, Episode 6: Curse You, Flonne!! Etna: Get ready to be spellbound<3 Laharl: Aren't you embarrassed to say something like that? Etna: Not at all.

[Camera shows Laharl's throne room as words written on a letter scroll]
"Dear Sirs and Madames, I hope these dark days find you well.
However, I, Laharl, am deeply concerned with the state of the Netherworld.
I am well aware that unnecessary bloodshed is not your desire.
Therefore, I am writing to propose a formal challenge, an event with my father's title at stake - the title of Overlord.
The rules are simple.
On Curseday, in the Month of Adder, I shall journey to the Heart of Evil, carrying with me the official Deed.
The one who wrests the Deed from my hand shall be recognized as the new Overlord.
In the event that I reach my destination still in possession of the Deed, I shall assume the position myself.
Sincerely, Prince Laharl"
Laharl: Whaddya think? Excellent penmanship, huh? Flonne: Y, Yes. But, according to the Netherworld calender, isn't today the designated day? Laharl: That's right. I've ordered the Prinnies to spread copies of this letter all over the Netherworld. Laharl: The demons aiming to become Overlord are probably lying in ambush right now. Etna: Ummmm, Prince? Is this offer open to anyone? Laharl: Are you an idiot? Laharl: Don't you get it? There's no Deed for the position of Overlord. Etna: Huh? Laharl: This is a trap. Laharl: Look at what's happened recently. I thought that I might as well get rid of anyone still planning to claim the throne. Etna: Oh, I see. Laharl: And when I've defeated them all, I will be the unquestioned Overlord! Laharl: Hmhmhm... Laharl: Haaahahahaha!!
---
[Camera shows a dark area]
Laharl: Hey. Flonne: Yes? Laharl: I encouraged everyone to participate, but...
[Camera shows a map packed with demons]
Laharl: ...isn't this a bit much?
[Flonne steps forward and faces Laharl from his left]
Flonne: "The more, the merrier," they say.
[Etna steps forward and faces Flonne]
Etna: Flonne, when it comes to sayings, you're all thumbs.
[Laharl turns toward Etna]
Laharl: ...You're not much better.
[Laharl turns toward the demons]
Laharl: Anyways, what are we going to do about these guys?
[Etna and Flonne turns toward the demons]
Laharl: There's not even room to walk.
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: It looks like we'll have to take them on one by one.
[Laharl sulks]
Laharl: Oh, great... I can't wait to see what's after this.

[Camera shows an area within Blair Forest]
Flonne: Huh? Prinnies? Laharl: What are you doing here? Prinny Squad: We thought we might as well give it a shot, dood. Etna: What!? You're not allowed to pull of a coup d'etat without me! Etna: I'm the one who's supposed to kill the Prince! Flonne: Etna, it might not be such a good idea to announce that in front of the person in question. Prinny Squad: We know a head-on attack is suicide, dood. Laharl: Hm? You have a plan, then? Prinny Squad: That's right, dood!! Prinny Squad: Alright! Let's go, doods!!
[Screen fades to white]
[Camera shows a baseball field with the Prinny Squad lined up]
[Prinny Squad assumes their positions]
Prinny Squad: We challenge you to a game of baseball, dood!!
[Voice in the background screams 'Play ball!']
[Camera shows a closeup of home plate, where Laharl, Etna, and Flonne are all standing]
Laharl: Etna.
[Etna turns toward Laharl]
Etna: Yes? Laharl: Kill 'em. Etna: Certainly.
---
Laharl: Ugh...! "His love is divided ten ways!" Yeah, sure... That was a BIG help, you loony angel!! Flonne: Hmmm, that's odd. Isn't the hero supposed to win?
---
Laharl: Why is it that I don't have any luck with vassals...?
---
Laharl: Is it okay for a hero to be using demons? Red: Of course! Justice must never lose, no matter what the means!
---
Mid-Boss: Ugh...! Mid-Boss: Oooh...!! Laharl: --------? Mid-Boss: Sudden stomach cramps..!! Mid-Boss: Just when I was getting started... I, I beg your pardon, but I need to use the restroom. Mid-Boss: Consider yourselves lucky. You've been spared. Mid-Boss: Au revoir!! Laharl: He ran away... Etna: His excuses are getting more and more pathetic. Flonne: Huh? So... is that it? Laharl: That means... Laharl: I'm the Overlord!! Laharl: Overlord! Overlord!! Overlord!!!! Etna: Hmmm... The Prince is now the Overlord... Etna: It's sooooo hard to believe.
Laharl: Haaahahahaha!!!! Flonne: Geez... You just keep laughing and laughing. Laharl: How can I not? Laharl: I'm not the Overlord. That means that I'm the most eminent demon in all of the Netherworld. Flonne: I am aware of that. Flonne: But, ever since you have become the Overlord, you have done nothing but laugh. Laharl: You don't understand a thing. Laughing is a very important aspect of of being the Overlord. Laharl: Besides, there isn't any urgent matter that suitable for my first act as King Laharl the Terrible. Etna: Oh, Prince<3 I got a job for ya. Laharl: Call me "Your Highness". I'm the Overlord now. Etna: Aww, come on... That's a minor detail. Laharl: MINOR detail...? Laharl: ...So, what kind of job is it? Laharl: You want me to make it rain pepper on Earth so they can't stop sneezing? Laharl: Or, do you want me to give human kids an addictive video game that will deprive them of their sleep? Etna: Uh... No. Etna: Come in, Aramis. Aramis: ...... Laharl: Who's this kid? Aramis: Don't call me a kid. You're more of a kid yourself. Laharl: What!? Who the hell do you think I am!? Flonne: Now, now. He is just a child. Aramis: Shut up, flat-chest. Flonne: WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU...!? Flonne: *gasp* I mustn't! Flonne: At times like this, love is the answer! With love, there is understanding! Aramis: Hey, does she have a few screws loose or somethin'? Laharl: Hmph...! You've got some attitude, kid. Etna: Just like you, Prince. Laharl: Yeah, right. So, what's he got to do with the job? Etna: Oh, yeah. His pets are missing. Laharl: Hm? Laharl: ...And? Etna: And your job's to look for them. Laharl: Why would I, the Overlord, look for some stupid little brat's pets!? Laharl: Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!! Laharl: Bring me something more fitting for my first task as Overlord!! Etna: I refuse!! Laharl: -----!? Flonne: -----!!? Etna: It may seem ridiculous to you, but it's important to him!! Etna: This is a perfect way to begin your rule as Overlord! Etna: And if you don't do it, I'm never gonna accept you as the Overlord! Laharl: W, What are you getting so mad for? It's not like you. Etna: Answer me! Will you do it or not? Laharl: Ugh... F, Fine! I'll do it, I'll do it. Aramis: Good! ...And you better not slack off! Laharl: Ugh...! Why am I, the Overlord of the Netherworld, taking orders from this annoying brat...?
---
Goleck: Prince! Goleck: Your highness! Goleck: King Laharl! Goleck: ...There's no ring to that. I think I'll stick with "Prince". Laharl: ......
(fuck u 2 goleck)
---
Zombie: OooooOooooooooOOhhh... Laharl: A zombie. Flonne: A zombie it is. Laharl: Hey, brat. Don't tell me this one of your pets. Aramis: Yeah. You got a problem with that? Laharl: No. Actually, I like it. You've got good taste, kid. Flonne: A zombie for a pet, huh... Flonne: So... how do we catch it? Laharl: Why not do the same thing we always do? Etna: I guess that would work. I mean, zombies are already dead anyway. Let the massacre begin! Laharl: Agreed! Flonne: Um, are you sure that's okay...?
---
Zombie: GwoooooooOooOoooohhhhh... Laharl: Geez... Laharl: These zombies aren't challenging at all, they're just plain bothersome. Etna: Well, they DO come back to life after you kill them. Laharl: Hey, brat. Laharl: Is it okay with you if we tear your pets to shreds so they won't bother us for awhile? Aramis: Go ahead. I take them apart and put them back together again all the time. Etna: I used to do that too, when I was a kid! Etna: Ahh, those were the days. Laharl: Stop reminiscing about your childhood. Flonne: ...Do all demon children play that way? Laharl: Don't worry. Just those two.
---
Laharl: A horse wiener!? Now, THAT's dangerous! Guys, don't let your guard down!!
---
Laharl: Here, I caught 'em all. Laharl: So, quit your complaining. Aramis: ...... Laharl: ...What? What's the problem now? Aramis: ...Thank you, Your Highness. Laharl: H, Hmph...! Well, it IS part of my job as the Overlord... Laharl: And don't bother to thank me. If you want to show your gratitude, you can repay me with your body. Etna: Hmmm... I never knew you were like that... Laharl: Idiot! Laharl: I meant, become my vassal and serve me when you're old enough! Aramis: ...Yes, Your Highness. Laharl: Speak to me with respect from now on, got it? Aramis: Yes, Your Highness! Laharl: Hmhmhm... Laharl: Haaahahahaha!!!! Laharl: Did you hear that, Etna? Laharl: That kid called me "Your Highness". Laharl: So? Do you accept me as Overlord now? Etna: Well... you passed for the time being. Etna: But, be careful not to flunk out. Laharl: Ugh...! Why you...! Flonne: *giggle* Talk about strict. Flonne: (Still, Laharl has changed quite a bit since the first time I met him.) Flonne: (He is maturing little by little as he meets new people.) Flonne: (And it feels like I have changed, too... since meeting him and his companions.) Flonne: (If you open your heart, you will surely grow and learn many new things...) Flonne: (...whether you're an angel... ...or a demon...) Flonne: (If I can explain this to other angels, maybe they'll see that not all demons are evil...) Flonne: (And someday...)
Laharl: What? Etna: Like I said, several Prinnies are missing! Laharl: Why!? Etna: How should I know? Maybe they ran away because you treated them so badly. Laharl: Hmmm... Laharl: C, Come to think of it, 20-hour workdays with no days off WAS a bit harsh... Flonne: In conditions like that, it's no wonder that they chose to fly-by-night. Laharl: Fly-by-night? Is there something you're not telling us? Flonne: Uh, no... Nothing at all. Big Sis Prinny: Prince. Laharl: Hmm? What? Big Sis Prinny: Don't worry, they'll be alright... dood. Laharl: I'm not worried about THEM! Laharl: If people hear that I let my vassals escape, I'll lose all respect! Laharl: That's why we're gonna find them! ...Even if it is a big waste of time! Flonne: That's so mean! You don't have to say it like that...! Etna: Take it easy, Flonne. He's just too embarrassed to admit the truth. Flonne: ...Really? Etna: Yeah... I think. Flonne: ......
---
Laharl: Hey! Laharl: Hey, you! Flonne: Uhhh... Me? Laharl: Yeah, you. Laharl: You really don't know anything about the Prinnies? Laharl: You've been acting weird ever since this morning... Flonne: ...I don't know anything. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell YOU! Laharl: Wh, What!? Flonne: Prince Laharl, I have a name, and it's Flonne. Flonne: It's not "Hey!" or "You!". Flonne: You have never called me by my name, not even once, since the first time we met! Laharl: S, So? What's it to you? Flonne: People's feelings are delicate. They can be hurt by just the slightest insult. Flonne: Laharl, you are too inconsiderate. You should approach people with more love. Flonne: The Prinnies ran away because you have no love! Laharl: What!? You stupid Love Freak!! Who do you think I------ Flonne: There! That's the attitude I'm talking about! Flonne: You'll never become a respected Overlord with an attitude like that! Etna: ...Flonne, that doesn't seem like the kind of advice an angel should be giving. Laharl: Ugh...! What do you know about being an Overlord!? Laharl! Forget it! I'm not talking to you anymore!!
---
Flonne: Etna. Etna: Hm? Flonne: Why is Laharl so stubborn? Etna: Huh!? You kiddin'? Etna: He's always been like that. Flonne: I don't think that's entirely true. Flonne: Haven't you noticed? His emotions are slowly changing. Flonne: I thought that he had finally awoken to the power of love... Etna: Oh, hohoho... So, that's why you were so angry. Flonne: Y, Yes... Etna: That's a demon for ya. Etna: You seem to have your hopes pretty high, but don't you think that asking for love from a demon is a bit ridiculous? Flonne: ...You think so? Etna: ...... Etna: Well, the Prince's case is a bit unique... Flonne: Unique? Etna: Yep... You see, his mother... Etna: ...the Queen, was an eccentric person. Etna: She was always talking about love and kindness. Flonne: That's not weird at all. Etna: Well, I didn't hate her, but I guess she couldn't help it, being a human and all. Flonne: A human? Etna: Yep. She was a witch who came here to study. Etna: The King fell in love with her at first sight. And eventually, the Prince was born. Yada yada yada. Flonne: Hmmmm. Is that so? Etna: She was always saying things like, "Demons can love, too". Etna: Whenever the Prince did something bad, she would scold him, because she wanted to raise him to be a kind boy. Etna: Maybe you remind him of his mother, Flonne. Flonne: If he was raised that way, why is he like this now...? Etna: ...The Queen died. Flonne: Huh...? Etna: A long time ago, the Prince was infected with a rare disease that even the King couldn't cure... Etna: There was only one way to save him... Flonne: Which was...? Etna: The life of one who loved him... Flonne: Then... Etna: That's right... The Queen took her own life, despite the King's efforts to stop her... Etna: ...It was at that point that the Prince started to hate love and kindness... Flonne: How sad... Flonne: So unless his hatred fades, Laharl will have to live the rest of his life without love? Flonne: ...That's just not fair! Etna: ...Maybe so. Etna: But, I don't think that he's intentionally trying to hate love. Etna: Hatred isn't just something that disappears that easily, is it? Etna: Maybe you were a bit rough on him today. Flonne: Ah...! Etna: Well, don't try to get me involved. Flonne: ......
---
Flonne: Yes... And that they work in Celestia and the Netherworld to atone for those sins. Big Sis Prinny: That's right... Big Sis Prinny: The red moon purifies their sins so they can be reborn... Flonne: What a heartwrenching sight... Laharl: Etna! Stop them! Etna: Prince, weren't you listening? The Prinnies are being reborn... Laharl: Shut up! I never gave them permission for that! Laharl: We'll drag 'em back here if we have to!
---
Laharl: We'll see about that! Those Prinnies are mine! Laharl: They're my vassals... for all eternity!!
---
Laharl: Hmph... You sound just like that Love Freak... Laharl: ...... Laharl: ...It's what's best for their sake? Big Sis Prinny: That's right, dood. Laharl: ...I see. Then, I'll let them go. Big Sis Prinny: You understand, dood? Laharl: ...Well, yeah.
---
[Words appear on screen as Flonne narrates]
The red moon reflected in Laharl's eyes, swaying sadly. A gentle, loving mother who gave up her life to save her son... A son who could only accept his mother's death by denying love and kindness... I can't imagine how painful, how diffiult it was for him. I'm sure the red moon will wash away his sorrow.
Laharl: Love... huh... Flonne: Huh...? Laharl: ...Nothing. Laharl: Let's return to the castle... Flonne. Flonne: Laharl...
[Words appear on screen as Flonne narrates]
When Laharl called me by my name for the very first time, I noticed... that the red moon no longer shone in his eyes. I'll always remember the sad tale of a mother and her son...
Laharl: Gordon! Wash my shorts! Laharl: Gordon! After that, clean my room! Laharl: Gordon! After that, make dinner!
[Fade to black]
[Camera shows Laharl's throne room]
Gordon: *huff* *huff* ...! Gordon: (What humiliation! The Defender of Earth working for the Overlord! I can't apologize enough to my predecessors!) Laharl: Hmmmmm? You look unhappy. Laharl: Don't tell me that a hero would break his promise, now. Gordon: *groan* Gordon: (A hero never breaks a promise!) Gordon: (All I can do right now is endure this!) Gordon: (As long as my faith does not falter, hope remains!!) Gordon: (I've got it! I'll just pretend to obey him!) Gordon: (And when he lets his guard down, I'll escape back to Earth!) Gordon: (All right! I just need to have patience! Good thinking, Gordon!) Laharl: Your eyes are full of hope... You're planning something, aren't you? Gordon: N, No I'm not! I was just... Jennifer: Morning, Harlie<3 Laharl: I told you not to call me that!
---
Laharl: ...Now I just plain pity you, Gordon. Laharl: Alright, we're going to the Sea of Gehenna! Laharl: I will never, ever allow those women to go picnicking on their own! Gordon: That's a great idea! We should do it! Gordon: It's not like we'd be going on a picnic, going lalala. Someone has to protect them! Laharl: Right, let's go!
---
Zommie: An angel assassin... An attack by humans... A lot has been happening lately... Laharl: All thanks to my evil deeds. Hmhmhm...
---
Dimensional Gatekeeper: Picnic at the Sea of Gehenna, Prince? You are still quite childish. *chuckle* Laharl: N, No, I'm not! I'm going to investigate the area... Gordon: Picnic, picnic, La la, la la, laaaaa. Dimensional Gatekeeper: So... You ARE going on a picnic.
---
Gordon: Lalala. Gordon: Hahahahaha!! I never thought that picnicking in the Netherworld would be so delightful. Laharl: ...Is this guy really a hero? Laharl: I'm not one to say, but... I always thought a hero was a bit more dignified. Laharl: This guy's just a fool.
---
Gordon: Hey! What's wrong, Master? Gordon: You're not having fun? I thought kids loved picnics. The sky is blue, the weather is perfect! Gordon: Come on! Let's sing! Laharl: I'm not a kid! I'm 1313 years old. And mentally, I'm much more mature than you, too. Etna: Mature? I think you two are about the same. ...For your information, I'm 1470. Flonne: I'm ummm... fairly young. Laharl: Young? How old is young? Flonne: Young is... young. Laharl: You're an angel, aren't you? Tell the truth. Flonne: ...... Flonne: One thousand... five hundred nine. Etna: What!? You're older than me!? Laharl: Haaahahahaha!! You old hag! Flonne: I'm not old!! Jennifer: ...That's amazing. No one would think you're that old. Laharl: Hmph. That's why humans act so foolishly. They judge solely on looks. Jennifer: Ooh, you talk big. Then you shouldn't mind my body, right? Laharl: Uh... W, Well... Laharl: I'm getting hungry. Let's eat. Jennifer: *chuckle* Changing the subject, huh? I'll let it slide this time. Flonne: Here's the picnic basket... Mid-Boss: En garde!! Flonne: Ah, the picnic basket!! Mid-Boss: It has been a while, mademoiselle. The sweet smell of these entrees has led moi all the way here. Etna: Hey, Mid-Boss! Give us back our food!! Mid-Boss: Non non non non non... I cannot oblige. Mid-Boss: For moi, a widower, this handmade lunch is like an oasis in a desert... Mid-Boss: I cannot give it back. Laharl: You return after all this time, and for a stupid reason like this? Flonne: Mr. Mid-Boss, you don't have anyone to make lunch for you? Poor thing... Mid-Boss: Stop pitying moi! That sends a sharp pain to my heart! Gordon: Hold it right there! Gordon: Mid-Boss, was it? That picnic basket is mine! Give it back, now! Mid-Boss: Hmmm... You are a human, are you not? Gordon: That's right! They call me Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!! Mid-Boss: And why is the Defender of Earth picnicking with demons? Gordon: Sh, Shut up! I'm not here because I want to be! Mid-Boss: Very well. I shall test your resolve, o Defender of Earth... Mid-Boss: Now! Can you retrieve this basket from moi!? Haaahahahaha!! Gordon: Hey, you! Wait!! Laharl: It's so pathetic that we put up with that idiot...
---
Laharl: I thought you were just a dumb blonde, but I guess I was wrong. Jennifer: Hmmmm? Who was the one saying not to judge people by their looks, Harlie? Laharl: Uh... Did I say that? Laharl: Anyways, we have to get the basket back before Mid-Boss eats it all! Jennifer: *chuckles* You're right. Let's go.
Laharl: ...Okay! Let's go! Etna: It's your duty as an Overlord, again? Laharl: That's right. I'll pound him into submission and make him my vassal! Laharl: Rejoice, Gordon! It looks like you'll be meeting a new friend! Haaahahahaha!!
---
Ghoss: Are there other Defenders of Earth? Gordon: Well, not really... Laharl: I'd be happy if there were. I would never be bored.
---
Flonne: But, how is he still alive? Compared to the typical human life span, he should have passed away a long time ago. Laharl: That's probably his soul. Laharl: He probably couldn't rest in peace until he defeated the Overlord, so his soul remained behind. Flonne: Why...?
---
Laharl: ...Hey, Love Freak. You're not trying to force your beliefs on me again, are you? Flonne: Bingo<3 Flonne: Next time we run into him, let's lose on purpose. Flonne: That way, he'll finally be satisfied, and his spirit will ascend to heaven.
[Etna turns towards Flonne]
Laharl: Don't be ridiculous! I have a duty to fulfill, too! I can't lose on purpose! Flonne: Why? Is it that big a deal? Flonne: Are you that selfish that you can't even save a poor hero's soul? Laharl: Shut up! This is between me and him! So, stay out of it!! Flonne: ......
[Laharl turns around]
Laharl: ...We're going in after him!
---
[Laharl steps forward]
Laharl: That we will! King Laharl runs from no one! Come on!!
[Flonne steps forward to face Laharl]
Flonne: W, Wait, Laharl! You're not actually going to fight him, are you?
Etna: Flonne, just let him do things his way. Flonne: B, But...!
---
Don Joaquin: Here I come, Overlord!! Now is the moment that I fulfill my duty!! Laharl: Very well! En garde, old hero!!
---
Flonne: Laharl! Why!? Why didn't you lose!? Flonne: I know that you have a kind heart inside! Flonne: Why...? Laharl: ...You're starting to get annoying. I'm a demon. There was never any kindness in my heart. Laharl: You were wrong about me. Sorry to disappoint you. Flonne: --------!! Flonne: You've let me down, Laharl! You're the worst...
---
Laharl: Of course. Who do you think I am? I'm the great King Laharl. Flonne: Umm, Laharl... I'm sorry that I jumped to conclusions and said such horrible things... Laharl: That's right! You said I'm "the worst...", didn't you? Laharl: What were you gonna say next? "The worst..." what
[Flonne steps back]
Flonne: Uh... W, Well... Gordon: I'd like to hear the answer to that, too. Jennifer: Me, too. Etna: What kind of filthy language was about to escape those love-preaching lips?
---
Laharl: ...Wicked little angel. Etna: Yep. Worse than a demon. Flonne: N, No, I'm not...!
Laharl: Hmhmhm...! Foolish, weak humans! Laharl: Feel the wrath of the Overlord!! Laharl: Haaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
---
Laharl: Looks like I took care of most of them] Laharl: Hmph... What a weak bunch. Etna: You really pay attention to the details, giving them time to escape before destroying their ships. Flonne: *giggle* See? He's not devoid of love. Laharl: S, Shut up! I just don't want to stink up the Netherworld with human corpses! Laharl: I'm not...
---
Laharl: Hmmm... Your efforts are admirable. You'd make a great demon. Laharl: But there wouldn't be a crisis in the first place if you humans weren't so stupid. Laharl: As the Overlord of the Netherworld, let me say just one thing... Laharl: Clean up your own damn mess!!
---
[Camera shows a screen shot of a gigantic Jennifer]
Laharl: ...Hey. Etna: ...Uh-huh? Laharl: ...That's not what I expected. Etna: ...Me either.
---
Gordon: I should be the one thanking you... Gordon: ...Kurtis. You will be known as the 38th Defender of Earth. Laharl: ...Heed my words, Death. I command you in the name of King Laharl. Laharl: Lead the soul of Kurtis, Defender of Earth, to his family's side...
[Kurtis's soul flies off of the screen]
[Etna turns to face Laharl]
Etna: Prince...
[Flonne turns to face Laharl]
Flonne: Laharl...
[Laharl turns to face Flonne]
Laharl: ...Don't say a word. As the Overlord of the Netherworld, I was just paying homage to a true hero. Laharl: That's all... Flonne: Yes... I understand.
Laharl: ...Your mind's made up? Flonne: Yes. Flonne: I must speak with the Seraph and find out what has been happening in Celestia... Laharl: Do you realize that you may have to face him as an enemy? Flonne: Face Master Lamington as my enemy...? Etna: He's the head of Celestia, right? Etna: We know that someone in Celestia has been helping the EDF. He must have known about it. Jennifer: I agree. I think it's very possible that he's even the mastermind. Laharl: Wasn't he the one who ordered you to go to the Netherworld in the first place? ...To assassinate my old man? Gordon: What!? An angel ordering an assassination? That's just wrong! He's guilty, without a doubt!! Flonne: No, he's not! Laharl: Can you say that for sure? Flonne: ...I believe in Master Lamington. Laharl: ...... Laharl: ...I see. Laharl: Alright, then. Let's get going. Flonne: ...? Laharl: It's a good opportunity for me to check out this so-called Seraph; I'm going with ya. Flonne: Laharl... Etna: Geez Prince, why don't you just admit it? Etna: "I'm worried about Flonne, so I'm gonna go with her!" Etna: What's so hard about that, huh? Laharl: F, Fool! That's far from the truth...! Jennifer: Now, now. We all feel the same way, Harlie. Gordon: Jennifer's right. As the Defender of Earth, I cannot let my comrade go alone. Thursday: BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP... WE ARE COMRADES. WE GO TOGETHER. END OF DISCUSSION. Laharl: ...Hmph. Bunch of fools. Flonne: Everybody... Flonne: ...Thank you.
---
Goleck: The Prinnies were talking about "multiple endings"... Laharl: ...Huh? Endings to what?
Manty: You're going to Celestia, I hear. Bring back some gifts for us! Laharl: Idiot. It's not a vacation.
Dratti: You've changed a lot, doing things for the sake of others. Laharl: Sh, Shut up! I only do things for my own sake!
Gargo: So if humans can come here, that means we can go there, right? Laharl: Hmmm... Now that you mention it...
---
Flonne: I beg you! Listen to me...!
[Laharl steps forward to face Flonne]
Laharl: Flonne, don't waste your breath.
[Everyone turns to face Flonne]
Etna: Yeah. These morons haven't listened to a word you've said.
[Flonne turns to face Etna]
Flonne: But, I... I can't fight... Laharl: What happened to all that determination of yours? Laharl: If you're just gonna give up, then why did you bother to come?
---
Laharl: Just don't waste my time with any more talk of giving up, or else I'm outta here. Flonne: I understand.
[Laharl turns to face the angels]
Laharl: Hmph... Then, let's hurry up and kick some angel butt! Flonne: Okay!
---
Laharl: True. You look so evil, it's a pity that you're an angel.
---
Laharl: Hey! Who the hell do you think you are!?
---
Laharl: ...Geez, you're stubborn. Laharl: Don't tell me it's because of love again... Flonne: Yes it is, absolutely! To have faith in someone you respect... That's love! Laharl: *sigh* What a Love Freak.
---
Laharl: This is ridiculous. You guys are so naive. Etna: Hm? Does that mean you're leaving, Prince? Laharl: F, Fool! How can I turn back now when I haven't seen the Seraph!? Laharl: I'll go on, even if it's by myself! Flonne: Laharl... Flonne: (Everybody, thank you so much...) Flonne: (I'm glad that I met all of you.) Flonne: (I have harmed my own kind...) Flonne: (No matter how this journey ends, I will receive severe punishment...) Flonne: (But, I have no regrets... I was able to meet such wonderful companions.)
---
Flonne: No! Attacking separately won't do any good! Flonne: We must ALL unite our hearts!!
[Laharl turns to face Flonne]
Laharl: Unite our hearts...?
[Flonne and Etna move to the middle of the party and face the angels]
Flonne: That's right! Whether we're angels, demons, or humans, we all share the same feelings!! Flonne: and if we focus those feelings together, we can accomplish anything!! Laharl: ...How can you say something like that with a straight face? Flonne: Laharl! Laharl: Alright, alright. So the point is, we all attack at the same time, right?
[Laharl steps back and joins the party]
Laharl: Then, let's do it. On the count of three... Laharl: One, two, three!
---
Laharl: ...Hey, Flonne. Did I hear something about love and friendship just now?
[Flonne turns to face Laharl]
Flonne: Yes, you did. So, what about it? Laharl: Whaddya mean, "what about it"? I keep telling you that I don't feel stuff like that! Flonne: *giggle* Think whatever you want, Laharl. Laharl: What did you say!?
[Etna turns to face Laharl]
Etna: Uh, Prince... Now that their force fields are down, isn't this our chance? Laharl: Yeah... but... Laharl: ...We'll continue this discussion later! Don't forget! Flonne: Okay, okay.
---
Laharl: Not just an ordinary demon. I am Laharl, King of the Netherworld!
---
[Laharl steps forward]
Laharl: This is crazy, Flonne! Why should you be punished!? You've done nothing wrong!! Seraph: ...Very well. I shall pardon their sins. Flonne: I am grateful for your kindness. Laharl: Flonne...
[Flonne turns to face Laharl]
Flonne: Thank you, Laharl. Flonne: I knew I could trust in you. Flonne: You taught me that demons do have love in their hearts. Laharl: This doesn't make any sense to me! Laharl: We're done here, aren't we!? Let's go back to the Netherworld!
[Flonne begins to glow]
Flonne: Laharl... I want you to have this pendant.
[Laharl steps back]
Laharl: S, Stop! That's...!!
[Screen turns white]
[Scene flashes back to the point of the game in which Laharl recovered Flonne's pendant]
Flonne: Laharl...! Laharl: Hurry up and take it. My hand is burning! Flonne: O, Okay! Laharl: ...The pendant is telling me that my heart is wicked. Laharl: That's good to know.
[Screen turns white]
[Scene shifts back to the Seraphic Sanctuary]
Laharl: That's the pendant we had to look for! You want it to burn me again!?
[Flonne gives her pendant to Laharl]
Laharl: Aaaaaaaagh!! Laharl: ...Huh? Laharl: ...Hey, something's wrong. It's not doing anything... Flonne: *giggle* Just as I thought. Laharl: ...Whaddya mean? Flonne: The wickedness has faded from your heart, Laharl. That's why the pendant isn't punishing you anymore. Laharl: What!? That can't possibly be right!! I'm a demon! The Overlord!!
[Flonne steps back]
Flonne: I'm so glad... I can say good-bye without any worries now.
[Flonne walks toward the Seraph]
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: Good-bye...? Flonne...!
[The entire party steps forward]
[Camera turns to face Laharl as he steps forward]
Laharl: Hey... Where do you think you're going?
[Flonne turns to face Laharl]
Flonne: Good-bye, Laharl. I hope you become a magnificent Overlord. Flonne: Good-bye, everyone. Thank you so much for everything.
[Flonne turns away from the party, and Laharl attempts to run after her]
Laharl: Wait! Flonne!
[The Seraph begins casting a spell on Flonne, and she begins to glow in white]
Flonne: Good-bye...
[Screen turns white]
[Scene resumes, with Flonne having been turned into a flower]
Etna: Flonne... Why...!? Laharl: ...... Seraph: The existence of Angel Trainee Flonne has been erased, along with her sins...
[Laharl steps forward]
Laharl: Flonne... Laharl: Hey, Flonne... What are you doing...? I didn't say you could do this...! Laharl: You're going to abandon me? Like my mother did? Laharl: I didn't give you permission! Laharl: Is this what you call love!? If it is, then I'll never believe in love! Ever!!
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: Prince... Seraph: King Laharl, do you despise me? Laharl: Despise you...!? Of course I do, you bastard!! Laharl: ...kill...you... Laharl: I'll kill you!! Laharl: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
[Fire illuminates from Laharl as the screen turns white]
Seraph: (This is my punishment... I willingly accept it.)
(NOTE: This ending is seen by going through the game without killing a single ally)
[After the battle, Laharl is shown standing over the Seraph, sword in hand]
Laharl: ......
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: What's the matter, Prince?
[Laharl sheathes his sword and turns away]
Laharl: ...I've had enough of this. Etna: ...? Laharl: It's not like this will bring her back... Laharl: ...Besides, if that Love Freak was here, she would have stopped me anyway... Etna: Prince...
[Laharl steps in front of Flonne's flower and sheds a tear]
Laharl: What is this...? A tear...? Laharl: ...Hmph. Laharl: I never knew I could shed tears... Laharl: ......
[Laharl turns to face Etna]
Laharl: Etna.
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: Yes? Laharl: ...I leave the rest to you.

=== ii. Normal Ending ===
(NOTE: This ending is seen by not fulfilling the prerequisites for the Good, Bad, or Dark Assembly endings)
[After the battle, Laharl is shown standing over the Seraph, sword in hand; the Seraph is lying in a pool of his own blood]
Laharl: *gasp* *gasp* ...! Vocie: Wait!
[Mid-Boss appears on the side of the room, and everyone but Laharl turns to face him]
Etna: Mid-Boss?
[Camera turns to face Mid-Boss as he walk to up Laharl]
Mid-Boss: I did not make it in time... Mid-Boss: It was I who was to accept punishment...
[Laharl turns to face Mid-Boss]
Laharl: ...Are you out of your mind? He deserved to die. Laharl: He killed Flonne... even though she had complete faith in him. Mid-Boss: You are mistaken. The Seraph had no intention of killing her... Mid-Boss: He fought you to atone for his sins, and to test you. Laharl: To test me...?
[Mid-Boss steps forward]
Mid-Boss: Yes... He was testing your heart. Mid-Boss: If you had spared him, Flonne's life would have been restored. However...
[Laharl sheathes his sword and stands in front of Flonne's flower]
Laharl: Are you trying to say... I'm the one that's responsible for Flonne's death!? Laharl: ...That she's dead...because of me...? Etna: Prince... Laharl: ......
[Laharl walks toward the party]
Laharl: ...Etna.
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: Yes? Laharl: ...Take good care of the Netherworld for me. Etna: P, Prince...?
[Laharl turns toward Flonne's flower]
Laharl: I owe her at least this much...
[The party steps forward one by one, and Mid-Boss steps back]
Laharl: ...If there is a god, may he hear my plea!! Laharl: I, Laharl, have one request! Take my life, in exchange for Flonne's! Laharl: Bring her back to life, I beg of you...!!

Epilogue
[Laharl sits up in the casket, blinks a few times, then shakes his head]
Etna: Prince! I'm glad you're still alive.
[Etna puts the gun away, and Laharl then stands up to face her]
Laharl: Who said I was dead? I was just taking a nap.
[Laharl looks around]
Laharl: Anyways... Why are all those weapons behind you?
[Etna looks behind her at the weapons]
Etna: Well, I was having a hard time waking you up...
Laharl: Are you sure you weren't trying to kill me instead?
Etna: No... Ah... I mean, yes. I just wanted to wake you up.
Laharl: Hmph... Whatever.
Laharl: ...so, what is it?
Laharl: You better have a good reason for waking me up.
Etna: Oh, yeah.
[Etna lifts her hands up]
Girl: Big news. Your father, King Krichevskoy, has died.
Laharl: He what...!? When!?
[Etna puts her hands back down]
Etna: Two years ago.
[Laharl turns to his left, then closes his eyes]
Laharl: ...wait a second.
[Laharl turns back toward the girl]
Laharl: So... you're telling me that I've been sleeping for over 2 years?
Etna: Yup.
[Laharl looks at the girl in shock]
Laharl: "Yup"...!? Why didn't you wake me up earlier!?
[Etna leans back and puts her hands behind her head]
Etna: Excuse me, but what do you think I've been doing all this time?
Etna: The Netherworld has gone to hell while you were sleeping.
[Etna looks to her right]
Etna: It's not my fault if some other demon steals the title of Overlord.
Laharl: What...? Have they forgotten whose title they are trying to steal!?
[Laharl turns to his left and crosses his arms with a smile]
Laharl: Hmhmhm...
Laharl: How bold of them! I shall show no mercy... for I am Laharl, the
rightful heir to the throne!
Laharl: Haaaahahahaha!!!!
[Etna walks toward the casket]
Etna: Your humble vassal, Etna, will accompany you.
[Etna joins the party]
[Fade to black]

Episode 1: Prince of the Netherworld
courtyard]
Goleck: All the royal vassals left the castle shortly after the King died.
Laharl: Even with me still around?
Etna: Well, you were sleeping. They must have forgotten about you.
Manty: That's just like you, Prince, taking a 2-year nap.
Laharl: I only planned on napping for about 10 days...
Laharl: Hmmm... Something's not right.
Dratti: Oh well, look like I wasted my time digging that grave for you<3
Laharl: I'll put YOU in that grave instead!
---
[Camera shows a battlefield over an open field]
Laharl: Now, then... Time for a little warm-up. I feel a little rusty.
Etna: Ah, Prince. We've got company... how convenient.
[View changes to the battle screen]
Laharl: Stray demons, huh...
Etna: Allow me, Prince.
Etna: You may be a little out of practice after your long slumber.
Etna: Don't worry, I came prepared!
Etna: Come on, Prinny Squad!!
[Leaves blow past the screen]
Etna: Get your butts out here, NOW!!
[3 Prinnies come out of the base panel]
Etna: So Prince, whaddya think of this Prinny Squad I hired?
Etna: They're my loyal servants: they'll do anything I say.
[Prinnies begin dancing around]
Laharl: Are you sure about that?
[Etna pops out of the base panel and attacks the three Prinnies]
Etna: See, they're loyal.
Laharl: ...Does it make sense to beat up your allies before a battle?
Laharl: Anyways, I think we've made those demons wait long enough already.
Etna: Hey, you're right. How nice of them to be so patient.
Laharl: Yeah, that's considerate of them.
Laharl: To show my appreciation, I'll only beat them half to death.
Etna: Oh, you're so kind<3 If I were you, I'd beat them all the way to
death.
Laharl: K, Kind!?
Laharl: Stop that! That word gives me goose bumps!
Laharl: Dammit! I take it back! I'm gonna beat them all the way to death!
Etna: (He's still a kid, so quick-tempered.)
Etna: (It looks like carrying out my plan will be a lot easier than I thought
<3)
Laharl: Hm? You say something?
Etna: Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. So, what are your orders, Prince? ...You
do remember how to fight, right?
[Scene shifts to the actual battle]
---
Zommie: There is a new demon named Vyers who has been gaining strength.
Laharl: Never heard of him.
Laharl: Probably no one important.
---
Etna: Wow. This is a pretty nice place.
Etna: Ah! That vase would sell for a lot.
Laharl: Fool! That makes us petty thieves.
Laharl: I can't disgrace the name of the Overlord. I have to be impartial
and...
Etna: Impartial and... what?
Laharl: ...plunder everything!!
Etna: Ohh! That's our Prince! You're so ruthless.
Prinny Squad: Hey there, you atrocious fiend!
Etna: You cold-blooded monster!
Prinny Squad: A demon among demons!
Laharl: Hmph... Quit complimenting me so much... It's embarrassing.
Laharl: Now, listen up! I want you to pillage and plunder anything and
everything in this castle!!
Prinny Squad: Aye aye, dood!
Laharl: Haaahahahaha!!
---
Laharl: So? I'm the heir. That's all that matters.
Laharl: If they've forgotten, then I'll just have to make them remember.
Vyers: I see. So you saw my potential and decided to strike first against
moi...
Vyers: Such wonderful intuition... Well played, son of Krichevskoy.
Laharl: I've never even heard of you. It's only a coincidence that we're here.
Laharl: You're just a tiny stepping stone on my path to the throne.
Vyers: *gasp* How dare you! I am the Dark Adonis Vy...
Laharl: Who gives a damn about you? Your new name is "Mid-Boss".
Vyers: Mi, Mi, Mid-Boss!?
Etna: Looks like you hurt his pride, Prince.
Mid-Boss: Unforgivable...
Mid-Boss: That is unforgivable!!!!
---
Mid-Boss: Heh... I have underestimated your skill. I took you for but a child.
Mid-Boss: But, that was an error in judgement... I am too kind-hearted.
Laharl: Liar. You were serious just now.
Etna: How pathetic. Nothing's worse than a sore loser.
Mid-Boss: Ugh...! What repulsive little brats you are.
Mid-Boss: I shall come to return the favor, so do not forget moi!!
Episode 2: Enter Flonne
[Flonne turns around]
Flonne: Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!
[Flonne bops Laharl on the head, and Laharl gets knocked backwards]
Laharl: Owww...! What the heck did you do that for!?
Flonne: Oh, I'm sorry. You scared me, so I accidentally...
Flonne: (...Huh? Is he a demon...?)
Flonne: (There are demons this young...? I didn't know that.)
Laharl: Hmph... So, who are you?
Flonne: Me?
[Flonne takes a few steps toward Laharl]
Flonne: Nice to meet you. I'm an assassin.
[Flonne turns around]
Flonne: Whoops. I wasn't supposed to say that.
[Laharl takes a few steps toward Flonne]
Laharl: ...You're pretty dense, aren't you?
[Flonne turns toward Laharl]
Flonne: My! How rude, calling somebody you just met dense!
Laharl: I think that an assassin who tries to kill someone in his sleep is a
lot ruder.
Flonne: ...You're right. I apologize.
Laharl: (...Is she really an assassin?)
Flonne: It looks like I failed this time, so I guess I'll be leaving now.
[Flonne takes a bow]
Flonne: I'll be back again. Please take care.
[Flonne runs out of the room]
Laharl: H, Hey! Wait!
Laharl: Someone! Get in here, now!!
[Etna walks into the room and puts her hand on her hip]
Etna: Why are you yelling at this time of night? Ohhh, did you have a
nightmare?
[Laharl crosses his arms, his eyes turn red, and his hair sticks straight up]
Laharl: No, you fool! An assassin has infiltrated the castle!
Etna: Huh?
[Laharl becomes relaxed again]
Laharl: What happened to the Prinnies that were supposed to be on patrol!?
Etna: They've partied themselves to sleep.
[Laharl's hair sticks straight up, and his eyes turn red again]
Laharl: Those idiots...!!
Laharl: I'm gonna smack 'em! Wake them up, now!!
Laharl: We've got an assassin to track down!!
[Fade to black]
---
Gargo: I heard about the assassin.
Gargo: Congratulations! Assassination attempts mean that you're a
full-fledged demon.
Laharl: ...Am I supposed to be happy?
---
Etna: Prince, she must be from Celestia.
Laharl: Makes no difference to me.
Laharl: Angel or god, anyone who opposes me will suffer a terrifying death.
Laharl: Hmhmhm...! Say your prayers!
Flonne: Please don't push yourselves too hard. You guys can run if it gets
dangerous.
Laharl: Don't let her escape!
Laharl: We'll teach her a lesson!
---
[Etna fires a Fire spell, which bounces off of Flonne's Reflect spell, just
misses a dodging Etna, and burns Laharl]
Etna: Whoa!
Laharl: Ow!!
Etna: Uh... Sorry, Prince.
Laharl: Ugh...! My hair...!
[Laharl takes a few steps toward Flonne]
Laharl: Now you've done it! I had my hair just how I wanted it! This is
unforgivable!
[Laharl's eyes turn red, and his hair sticks straight up in the air]
Laharl: Feel the wrath of Laharl!!
[Flonne runs away]
---
[Camera shows Laharl and Etna cornering Flonne against an icy wall]
Laharl: You can't escape!
Laharl: I'm proud to say that I'm the most persistent demon in all the
Netherworld!
Flonne: Is that so? Wow... That's really something.
[Laharl takes a few steps toward Flonne]
Laharl: ...Are you trying to make a fool of me?
---
Flonne: Wow... You defeated my dragon.
Laharl: Hmhmhm... You've caused a lot of trouble for me.
Laharl: I don't know who hired you, but I'll make you regret the day you tried
to assassinate the great Laharl!
Flonne: Uh... Excuse me, but...
Flonne: Why would I want to assassinate you?
Laharl: Huh?
Flonne: I am Angel Trainee Flonne.
Flonne: I am here by order of the Seraph to assassinate the Overlord, King
Krichevskoy.
Laharl: ...You're here to kill my old man?
Flonne: Your old man...?
Flonne: That means... you're the King's son?
Etna: Doesn't anyone in Celestia read the newspaper?
Flonne: ...?
Laharl: ...You came all the way from Celestia for nothing.
Laharl: My old man died 2 years ago.
Flonne: *sniff*
Flonne: *sniff* ...I'm sorry...
Laharl: H, Hey! Why are you crying?
Flonne: Your father passed away, right...?
Flonne: You'll never see him again...
Flonne: When I think about that, it makes me sad...
Laharl: Huh?
Laharl: Are you crazy!?
Laharl: You came here to assassinate him, right? Why should you be sad?
Flonne: Are you not sad?
Laharl: Me? I don't have that emotion.
Flonne: That's not true.
Flonne: When you lose someone or something important to you, you cry, don't
you? Your heart aches, doesn't it?
Laharl: Hmph... I don't understand a word you're saying.
Flonne: How come?
Laharl: "How come?"
Because I'm a demon, of course!
Flonne: Demons don't know sadness?
Laharl: E, Exactly! I've never experienced such an emotion in my entire life!
Flonne: If that's true, then does that mean demons don't know love, either?
Flonne: Sadness is only possible because of love.
Laharl: You're right. Demons have no love, either!
Flonne: That's...
Flonne: That's just... too sad...
Laharl: (She sounds just like my mother.)
Laharl: (How stupid! Love...?)
Laharl: (What good is it? What's the point in having it?)
Laharl: (Love is the reason Mother is dead!)
Laharl: (I don't believe... I'll never believe in love!!)
Flonne: (If demons really don't know love, then it's my duty as a Celestian to
to explore the matter.)
Flonne: (I was ordered to assassinate the Overlord, but this must be a sign
from the heavens.)
Flonne: (It has to be!)
Flonne: (Whether demons are pure evil or not... If they really don't feel
love... I will bear witness to the truth!)
Laharl: What's love good for!? I don't need it...
Laharl: Demons like me don't need that kind of crap!
Flonne: If that is true, then demons are a real threat to Celestia.
Flonne: Since I can't complete my mission, I have decided that my new goal is
to learn the true nature of demons.
Flonne: I must know for certain whether or not demons are capable of love.
Flonne: And if necessary...
Flonne: I will carry out my original mission with a new target!
Laharl: Hmhmhm...
Laharl: Hmhmhm!!
Laharl: Haaahahahaha!!
Laharl: Alright! Be my guest!
Laharl: I shall burn a true vision of horror into that empty head of yours!
[Flonne joins the party]
Episode 3: A Hint of Kindness
Laharl: Salary?
Etna: Yep. Today's the Prinny Squad's payday.
Laharl: I get that part.
Laharl: Now, explain to me why I have to pay YOUR vassals' salary.
Etna: My vassals are your vassals, right?
Etna: Then, it's only natural that you sign their paychecks.
Laharl: Ugh... I can't argue with that...
Laharl: ...Fine. But, it's not comin' outta my pocket.
Etna: Huh? I thought you had plenty of money.
Laharl: That's my allowance! No one's touching it!
Etna: Stingy...
Laharl: Shut up! ...So, who's the richest guy around here?
Laharl: We'll just loot his place!!
Flonne: ...Is he always like this?
Etna: Yep, always.
Flonne: I've never met anybody like that in Celestia.
Etna: I'd be amazed if you did.
Etna: But, you won't last long in the Netherworld if something like this
surprises you.
Flonne: Oooh... This is such a culture shock to me...
---
[Laharl speaks to everyone in the castle]
Goleck: Why are the folks up in Celestia sending an assassin here now?
Goleck: There hasn't been any interaction between us and them for thousands of
years...
Laharl: Angels hating demons is old news. But, this may be the start of
something big.
Laharl: Things could get interesting. Hmhmhm...
Manty: Where is the assassin? I'll take him on.
Flonne: Good day. I am Angel Trainee Flonne, the assassin dispatched from
Celestia. Pleased to meet you.
Manty: Oh, nice to meet you too...
Manty: Prince, you sure this is the assassin?
Laharl: ...Don't ask.
---
Laharl: What the...!? These are all from the castle.
Etna: It was probably taken when the King died.
Laharl: ...So, this place belongs to an ex-vassal.
Laharl: Hmhmhm...This'll be fun!!
Laharl: Hey, Prinnies! This is for your paychecks! You better work hard!!
Prinny Squad: Aye aye, dood!
---
[Camera shows a portrait of a regal demon]
Laharl: It's a portrait of my old man...
Flonne: Oh... So, this is what Mr. Krichevskoy looked like?
Etna: That's right. He was a magnificent Overlord.
Laharl: Hmph. Not even.
Laharl: I was ready to dethrone him myself, but he went and croaked on his own.
Etna: Hey Prince, can I have it?
Laharl: Sure, go ahead.
---
[Camera shows the throne room within Dinero Palace]
Greedy Demon: One, two, three, four...
Greedy Demon: *snicker* O money, how do I love thee?$ Let me count the ways<3$
Greedy Demon: With you to fund my military campaign, I shall become the next
Overlord!$ *snort*
Laharl: Long time no see, Hoggmeiser.
Hoggmeiser: Who's there!?$
Laharl: Hmhmhm... Don't tell me you've forgotten me.
Hoggmeiser: ...Who are you?$
Laharl: Laharl!! The heir to the throne!! King Krichevskoy's son!!!!
Hoggmeiser: ...Oh yeah$ *snort*
Hoggmeiser: Ever since the King died, I knew I was forgetting something...
Ahhhh, so it was you, Prince$
Laharl: You call yourself a vassal!?
Etna: You know how demons are. You always say not to be so picky about the
details.
Laharl: I'm not a detail!
Etna: Oh, don't be so self-centered.
Hoggmeiser: I'm glad you helped refresh my memory$ It was nagging me like a
fish bone stuck in my throat$ *snort*
Laharl: F, Fish bone!? You...!
Hoggmeiser: ...Well, what do you want?$
Laharl: Whaddya mean, what do I want? Now that my old man's dead, I'm the
Netherworld's next Overlord!
Laharl: I'm taking back everything that's mine... And the rest of your fortune,
too!
Hoggmeiser: *snicker*
Hoggmeiser: Don't push your luck$ *snort* Just because you're the King's son,
it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want$
Hoggmeiser: It's strength that counts in the Netherworld$ If you want what is
now mine, you'll have to take it by force$
Laharl: That's exactly what I had in mind!
Laharl: Enough talk; let's go!!
Flonne: (Fighting over money and power...)
Flonne: (Were the angels right about demons...?)
Flonne: (If they really are evil, then...)
---
[After the battle, the camera shows the throne room again]
Laharl: Hmhmhm... you lose. I'm taking everything, as promised.
Hoggmeiser: Y, You can't!$ I won't be able to survive without my money!$
Laharl: Well then, I'll just finish you off now.
Hoggmeiser: *squeal*
Flonne: (How cruel... Not only is he taking his money, but his life, too...)
Flonne: (I can't let this happen!)
Flonne: (If worse comes to worse, I'll stop him with my own two hands.)
[Flash of white comes across the screen]
Kid Demon: Wait, you bully!!
Laharl: Who are you? Hoggmeiser's son?
Hoggmeiser's Son: ......
Laharl: Let go. I won't go easy on you just because you're a kid.
Hoggmeiser's Son: ......
Laharl: ...Hey, kid. Why are you risking your life for this greedy pig?
Laharl: You wanna die?
Hoggmeiser's Son: ......
Flonne: Don't you understand, Laharl?
Flonne: This is love.
Laharl: Here we go again...
Laharl: Love, love, love. Is that all you've got in your puny little head!? You
damn Love Freak!
Flonne: You can call me whatever you want. But, why is it that you refuse to
believe in love?
Flonne: You reject it because you're afraid of it! Isn't that right?
[Screen goes white]
[Camera shows Laharl's castle in an apparent flashback]
Noble Demon: Laharl, my son.
Laharl: ...Hm?
Noble Demon: What do you think of me? Do you love me?
Laharl: ...No, I hate you.
Laharl's Father: Hm... A typical answer for a demon.
Laharl's Father: Which is fine, for now. But, one day...
[Screen goes white]
[Camera goes back to the throne room within Dinero Palace]
Laharl: (Hmph... Now she's got me thinking about my old man...)
Laharl: (My old man, huh...)
Laharl: (What was he trying to tell me that time?)
Laharl: (......)
Laharl: (...Hmph, this is stupid. Why am I even thinking about this?)
Laharl: (It's all that Love Freak's fault...!)
Laharl: ...Forget it. I've wasted enough of my time.
Etna: Huh? You're not going to finish him?
Laharl: It wouldn't make me any richer.
Laharl: Alright, start taking the good stuff!
Laharl: ...But, make sure you leave some behind for them.
Flonne: Laharl...
Laharl: Hmph...
[Hoggmeiser joins the party]
Episode 4: Gift From an Angel
Laharl: A pendant?
Flonne: Yes... It was gone when I woke up this morning.
Laharl: ...And what are you trying to say?
Laharl: That one of us stole your pendant?
Flonne: No... If it were you...
...you would steal it impartially, right?
Laharl: Hm... S, So you do get it.
Laharl: Then, what do you want me to do?
Flonne: I want you to...
...help me find my pendant...
Laharl: Huh? Do I look like a servant boy to you?
Flonne: No... but...
Etna: What's wrong, Flonne? You look tired.
Flonne: Y, Yes...
Flonne: The Seraph gave that pendant to me before I came to the Netherworld...
Flonne: An Angel Trainee like me cannot stay in the Netherworld very long
without that pendant...
Flonne: At this rate, I will lose all of my energy, and eventually die...
Etna: Hmmmm, is that so? Well, that sucks.
Etna: Prince, whatcha gonna do?
Laharl: Like I should care.
Laharl: She came to assassinate my old man in the first place.
Etna: That's our Prince. Even capable of turning his back on such a helpless
little girl.
Laharl: Of, Of course...
Flonne: L, Laharl...
Laharl: W, What? It's the truth, isn't it?
Flonne: Laharl...
Flonne: If you can find my pendant, I will give you something good.
Laharl: "Something good", you say?
Laharl: Hmph. If I wanted it, I'd just steal it from you.
Flonne: You would use violence on weak little me?
Laharl: Give it up, already! I'm a demon!
Laharl: It doesn't matter how you are! Even if you were old, maimed, or
diseased!
Flonne: ...Fine.
Flonne: Then, my gift will never be yours...
Laharl: ...What's that supposed to mean?
Flonne: ......
Laharl: Tell me!!
Flonne: ......
Laharl: ...Are you trying to provoke me?
Laharl: ......
Laharl: Hmph... Fine. I've got some time to kill.
Flonne: Laharl...
Laharl: But! Let me make one thing clear. I'm not doing this for your sake!
Laharl: And when I find the pendant, that "something good" is mine!
Flonne: Thank you, Laharl.
Laharl: You're an angel! You shouldn't be thanking demons.
Laharl: I do what I want, when I want!
Laharl: Remember that! Hmph!!
---
[Camera shows a mountain path highlighted by a lava-filled canyon]
Etna: It's so hot here!! What's with this place!?
Etna: This is too much for me. I'm outta here.
Laharl: Wait. Look at this.
Etna: A feather...?
Flonne: ------!! Let me see!
Etna: What's so special about it?
Flonne: ...This is an angel feather.
Laharl: It's not yours, is it?
Flonne: No... It's size... and the aura it radiates... They are both superior
to mine.
Flonne: This feather belongs to a high-level angel...
Laharl: Hmph, no wonder this place reeks of goodness.
Flonne: But, I came to the Netherworld under the Seraph's secret orders.
Flonne: Why would another angel be here...?
Etna: Prince, you think that angel stole Flonne's pendant?
Laharl: Hmmm. I'm surprised that a Love Freak like you would have enemies.
Flonne: That is not possible! An angel would never steal my pendant...
Laharl: But, only angels know about the pendant, right?
Flonne: W, Well...
Laharl: Ah... Forget it. We still have to find it, regardless.
Laharl: I don't care what kind of trouble those Celestians stir up for
themselves.
Flonne: ......
---
[Camera shows the Blazing Field battle map]
Laharl: Hey, for future reference, what kind of guy is this Seraph?
Flonne: Future reference?
Laharl: Yeah. I may end up fighting him one day.
Laharl: I'm looking for your pendant. The least you could do is tell me.
Flonne: Well, I guess it's okay.
Etna: No, it's not.
Flonne: Well... Master Lamington, the Seraph, is a very kind person.
Flonne: He loves flowers and poems.
Laharl: Now, wait a second... I only wanna hear about his weak points...
Etna: Hmmmm, so you look up to the Seraph?
Flonne: Yes, of course. Is there someone that you look up to?
Etna: Me? The late King.
Laharl: What!? Then you don't look up to ME?
Etna: Nope.
Laharl: Why you...! You call yourself a vassal!?
Etna: Yeah... Sorta.
Laharl: ...! Someone shoudl teach you some manners...
Laharl: Enough of this! Let's find that pendant!
---
Mid-Boss: Hmmm? This is a beautiful pendant.
Mid-Boss: It must be a gift from the heavens, a reward for my good behavior.
Mid-Boss: I thank you, o god...
Laharl: Moron. What demon thanks a god?
Mid-Boss: Huh...? Who just called moi a moron!?
[Camera pans out to show Laharl and Flonne standing on a path below Mid-Boss]
Laharl: Me.
Mid-Boss: Oh, what a lucky day, indeed. To be able to confront my rival once
again!
Laharl: ...Wait a second. Since when did I become your rival?
---
Laharl: Enough. I told you, you're "Mid-Boss".
Mid-Boss: Haaahahahaha!! Say what you wish!
---
[Laharl appears near the top of the map with the pendant in hand]
Laharl: Don't make such a pitiful face.
Laharl: Hmph... Isn't this what you're looking for?
[Laharl and Etna walk toward Laharl]
Flonne: Laharl...!
Laharl: Hurry up and take it. My hand is burning.
Flonne: O, Okay!
[Flonne takes the pendant from Laharl, then steps back]
Laharl: ...The pendant is telling me that my heart is wicked.
Laharl: That's good to know.
Flonne: Why...?
Laharl: ...Why what?
[Flonne steps toward Laharl]
Flonne: Why did you do all that for the pendant?
Laharl: There's only one reason.
Flonne: Huh...?
Laharl: To get that reward from you.
Flonne: *giggle*
Laharl: W, What's so funny?
Flonne: Thank you, Laharl.
Laharl: S, Stop it, already! I told you not to talk like that! It's giving me
the chills!
Laharl: Just give me my reward!
Flonne: ...?
[Laharl walks toward Flonne until they are face to face, and then Laharl's eyes
turn red]
Laharl: Uh, do I have to spell it out?
Laharl: The reward! Give me the "something good" you promised me!
Flonne: Oh, that.
Flonne: I already gave it to you.
[Laharl relaxes]
Laharl: What?
[Camera shifts angles to face Flonne, and Flonne then takes a step back]
Flonne: Put your hand to your heart.
Flonne: Can you feel it? The warmth inside your heart...
Flonne: You faced great danger to find this pendant.
Flonne: You pretend to be only evil, but there is definitely kindness in your
heart.
Flonne: To give you the opportunity to realize that kindness...
Flonne: That is my reward for you.
[Laharl takes a step back]
Laharl: ---------!!
Laharl: A, A, Are you insane!? How can you say something so crazy!?
Flonne: Kindness is love. The day is near when you will awaken to love<3
*giggles*
Laharl: Unbelievable! I've been tricked by an angel!!
Laharl: Dammit! I'll remember this!!
[Laharl jumps straight up and off of the screen]
[Etna walks toward Flonne]
Etna: Deceiving the Prince, huh? Not bad at all.
[Flonne turns toward Etna]
Flonne: Really?
Etna: You look happy.
Flonne: Yes, I am. I now know that there is love within Laharl's heart.
Flonne: And if there is love inside him, that means there is love in all
demons.
Flonne: One day, angels and demons could be friends. I couldn't be happier.
Etna: Boy, that theory is a bit out there. You really are a Love Freak.
Etna: But, you're bound to be disappointed if you keep expecting things to turn
out so cheery.
Etna: Most demons would choke you from behind without a second thought.
Flonne: Hmmmm. Are you like that, Etna?
Etna: Maybe.
Etna: You'll find out soon enough. *giggle*
Episode 5: Etna's Secret
Etna: So yeah, I got pissed and kicked him right there.
Flonne: There? Where is there?
Etna: You know... *mumble* *mumble*
Flonne: Oh, my! ...So, what happened after that?
Etna: Well, of course...
...Hm?
Flonne: What is that? ...A photo?
Etna: Someone must've dropped it.
Etna: ---------!!
Flonne: ---------!!
Etna: Ahahahahaha!!
Flonne: Oh, my...! Is this Laharl...?
Flonne: *giggle* ...Hahahaha!!
Etna: Hmm? There's something written on the back.
Laharl: What are you two laughing about? I can hear you from across the castle.
Etna: B, B, But Prince... Look at this... Ahahaha, oh my god!!
Laharl: It's just a picture. What's so...
Laharl: --------------!!
Flonne: I didn't know you were into that kind of thing.
Flonne: I'm a bit shocked.
Laharl: W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-What is this!?
Etna: It's a humiliating photo of you.
Laharl: I can see that!!
Laharl: But, who the hell took it!?
Etna: How should I know? By the way, something's written on the back.
Laharl: ...What?
[Screen gets dark as the words scroll]
Dear Prince Laharl,
An embarrassing photo of you is in my possession: I await your arrival in
Jotunheim.
If you choose to decline my challenge, copies of the photo will be scattered
throughout the Netherworld.
"It is my wish to contend for overlordship in a fair, agreeable manner."
Laharl: Dammit!! "Fair, agreeable manner"...!? This is playing dirty!
Etna: But, isn't that the demon way?
Laharl: True... But this crosses the line!!
Etna: ...So? Are you going or not? It's definitely a trap.
Laharl: Of course I'm going!
Laharl: If this picture gets spread throughout the Netherworld, I'll be ruined!
Laharl: Whoever you are, you just wait!
Laharl: I'll char you and your paparazzi shots in the eternal flames of Hell!
---
Goleck: But, they say that there is one who surpasses even him: "The Lord of
Terror".
Laharl: Hmph... There is no such thing as someone stronger than the Overlord.
Laharl: That's just a legend.
---
[Camera shows an icy field]
Imp: ......
Laharl: ...Who are these guys?
Laharl: I was looking forward to seeing what terrifying trap awaited me, but
instead I find these puny little demons.
Imp: ......
Laharl: What? You got something to say?
Imp: A wonderful life.
[Screen flashes red]
Laharl: --------!!
Imp: World peace.
[Screen flashes red]
Laharl: Gahh!!
Imp: Let's all be friends.
[Screen flashes red]
Laharl: S, Stop that!!
Imp: Girls take initiative.
[Screen flashes red]
Laharl: Gwaaaaaaahhh!!
Flonne: Laharl? What's wrong?
Etna: Oh, him? He hates it when people are optimistic.
Flonne: Hmmmmm, is that so? Let's see...
Flonne: Eternal love<3
[Screen flashes red]
Laharl: Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!! The most dreaded word in existence...
Laharl: Y, You... You trying to kill me!?
Flonne: But, that's my favorite word...
Laharl: Dammit... How did they know my weakness...?
---
Laharl: *huff* *huff*
Flonne: Are you alright, Laharl?
Laharl: B, Barely... You nearly finished me by saying that.
Flonne: You mean eternal lo...
Laharl: Stop!!
Laharl: You're doing that on purpose, aren't you?
Etna: Prince, this isn't the time to be fooling around. We have to get that
photo back.
Laharl: You think I don't know that!?
Etna: (......)
---
[Laharl, Etna, and Flonne all walk onto the map and are soon surrounded by
Nekomatas and Succubi]
Sexy Demon: *giggle* What a cute little boy<3
[Screen flashes red as Laharl is knocked backward]
Laharl: Gaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!
[Camera angle shifts to the front of Laharl as Etna and Flonne turn toward him]
Flonne: Laharl, why are you screaming?
Laharl: I, I don't know why... But for some apparent reason, I can't stand
women with sexy bodies.
Laharl: On a side note... Flat-chested girls like you have absolutely no effect
on me.
[Etna and Flonne close in on Laharl as their eyes turn red]
Etna & Flonne: Well, excuse us for being flat!!
[Vampire demon appears above the crowd]
????: Hmhmhm...
????: Hahahahaha!!
[Laharl takes a few steps toward the vampire demon]
Laharl: Y, You're...!
[Etna takes a step forward]
Fearless Demon: It has been awhile, Prince. Do you still remember me?
Laharl: How could I forget you?
Laharl: You're Maderas, the vassal who was banished from the castle for
stealing my old man's favorite snack, black pretzels.
Flonne: *sigh* Now, that's what I call "pathetic".
Laharl: So, black-pretzel-snatcher-slash-outcast, what is it that you want from
me now?
Maderas: I wish to become Overlord, of course.
Laharl: Hmph, what a joke. What could you, a pathetic loser banished for
stealing pretzels, possibly do to me?
Maderas: Stop talking so tough, Prince. I know all of your weaknesses.
Maderas: Isn't that right, Etna?
Laharl: ---------!!?
[Laharl turns to face Etna]
Laharl: Etna... You...!?
[Camera turns to face Etna as she turns around]
Etna: ......
Maderas: Hahahahaha!
Maderas: You just realized it? Fool!
Maderas: Yes... Etna is my loyal dog.
Maderas: As long as I hold her memory in my hands, she'll do whatever I ask.
Etna: ......
[Flonne turns to face Etna]
Flonne: Etna...?
Maderas: Now, dear Prince... This place shall become your grave.
[Laharl and Flonne turn to face Maderas]
Maderas: Etna, you've served your purpose.
Maderas: I am quite pleased with the results. Now, die alongside your Prince.
[Etna turns to face Maderas]
Etna: But, we had a deal...!
Etna: What about my memory!?
[Camera turns to face Maderas]
Maderas: What good are memories to you when you are about to die? Hmhmhm...!
Maderas: Hahahahaha!!
[Maderas disappears]
Laharl: ...It all makes sense now. No wonder he knew my weaknesses.
[Laharl turns to face Etna]
Laharl: You took those photos, too, didn't you!?
[Etna turns around]
Etna: ......
[Flonne and Laharl face each other]
Flonne: Laharl... It was only because that demon stole her memory...
Laharl: Silence! I accept no excuses from a traitor!
Laharl: Stop blabbering and get these sexy women outta my sight!!
---
Maderas: E, Etna! What are you waiting for!? Kill Laharl!
Maderas: If you refuse, I'll erase your memory for good!
Etna: Go ahead, why don't ya?
Maderas: What!?
Etna: Two years ago... when the King died, I followed your orders and poisoned
the Prince...
Etna: ...so that you would give me back my memories.
Laharl: What!? You tried to poison me!? Then, that long nap was all because
of...
Flonne: Your ears are plugged, yet you still manage to hear that one line?
Etna: That's right... It was because of the poison...
Etna: But, I hated myself for working under Maderas.
Etna: I didn't wanna go on living like that.
Etna: So, I devised a plan to escape from under his thumb.
Maderas: Th, Then, why have you been following my orders until now...?
Etna: *giggle* You mean it's not clear to you? Let me explain it, then...
Etna: I was waiting for just the right moment to get my revenge on the bastard
who ruined my life!
---
Laharl: Hmph... Using me as bait... You're one ruthless girl.
Etna: Oh Prince, don't flatter me so much. It's not like Flonne or Mid-Boss
were part of the plan.
---
[Camera shows the same map in which the battle took place]
Etna: Phew... That settles that. Doesn't it, Prince?
Laharl: No, it doesn't!!
Laharl: You tried to poison me in my sleep... You used me as bait for your
revenge... What kind of vassal are you!?
Flonne: B-But Laharl...
Laharl: ...But!
Laharl: But, I don't mind that side of you.
Laharl: A true demon is always full of ambition, and aims for the top.
Laharl: As King, I'll need a right-hand demon like you under my command.
Etna: Prince...
Laharl: Listen up! I'm going to work you into the ground! You better be
prepared for it!
Etna: Uh-uh. YOU better be prepared.
Etna: I'll be watching your every move. If you don't prove yourself worthy of
the throne...
Etna: An accident may happen<3
Laharl: Hmph... You can take my place if that happens.
Etna: *giggle* Don't worry, I will.
Flonne: ...That's strange.
Flonne: ...Laharl and Etna reconciled, despite all that's happened.
Flonne: I don't understand it, but I guess demons have their own way of
expressing love.
Flonne: *giggle* I'm really surprised.
Flonne: I have never experienced anything like this before in Celestia...
Episode 6: Laharl's Challenge
Laharl: You look and act like a 1st-grader, that's for sure.
Etna: My dream is to become a witch, so I can get a cute boyfriend!
Laharl: Boyfriend? That's dumb.
Etna: Lovely, sexy... Hey! No touching!
Etna: Boys of the world, be my loyal slaves!
Laharl: Who'd want to touch you?
Etna: Next on Evolutionary Magical Girl Etna, Episode 6: Curse You, Flonne!!
Etna: Get ready to be spellbound<3
Laharl: Aren't you embarrassed to say something like that?
Etna: Not at all.

[Camera shows Laharl's throne room as words written on a letter scroll]
"Dear Sirs and Madames,
I hope these dark days find you well.
However, I, Laharl, am deeply concerned with the state of the Netherworld.
I am well aware that unnecessary bloodshed is not your desire.
Therefore, I am writing to propose a formal challenge, an event with my
father's title at stake - the title of Overlord.
The rules are simple.
On Curseday, in the Month of Adder, I shall journey to the Heart of Evil,
carrying with me the official Deed.
The one who wrests the Deed from my hand shall be recognized as the new
Overlord.
In the event that I reach my destination still in possession of the Deed, I
shall assume the position myself.
Sincerely,
Prince Laharl"
Laharl: Whaddya think? Excellent penmanship, huh?
Flonne: Y, Yes. But, according to the Netherworld calender, isn't today the
designated day?
Laharl: That's right. I've ordered the Prinnies to spread copies of this letter
all over the Netherworld.
Laharl: The demons aiming to become Overlord are probably lying in ambush right
now.
Etna: Ummmm, Prince? Is this offer open to anyone?
Laharl: Are you an idiot?
Laharl: Don't you get it? There's no Deed for the position of Overlord.
Etna: Huh?
Laharl: This is a trap.
Laharl: Look at what's happened recently. I thought that I might as well get
rid of anyone still planning to claim the throne.
Etna: Oh, I see.
Laharl: And when I've defeated them all, I will be the unquestioned Overlord!
Laharl: Hmhmhm...
Laharl: Haaahahahaha!!
---
[Camera shows a dark area]
Laharl: Hey.
Flonne: Yes?
Laharl: I encouraged everyone to participate, but...
[Camera shows a map packed with demons]
Laharl: ...isn't this a bit much?
[Flonne steps forward and faces Laharl from his left]
Flonne: "The more, the merrier," they say.
[Etna steps forward and faces Flonne]
Etna: Flonne, when it comes to sayings, you're all thumbs.
[Laharl turns toward Etna]
Laharl: ...You're not much better.
[Laharl turns toward the demons]
Laharl: Anyways, what are we going to do about these guys?
[Etna and Flonne turns toward the demons]
Laharl: There's not even room to walk.
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: It looks like we'll have to take them on one by one.
[Laharl sulks]
Laharl: Oh, great... I can't wait to see what's after this.
---
[Camera shows an area within Blair Forest]
Flonne: Huh? Prinnies?
Laharl: What are you doing here?
Prinny Squad: We thought we might as well give it a shot, dood.
Etna: What!? You're not allowed to pull of a coup d'etat without me!
Etna: I'm the one who's supposed to kill the Prince!
Flonne: Etna, it might not be such a good idea to announce that in front of the
person in question.
Prinny Squad: We know a head-on attack is suicide, dood.
Laharl: Hm? You have a plan, then?
Prinny Squad: That's right, dood!!
Prinny Squad: Alright! Let's go, doods!!
[Screen fades to white]
[Camera shows a baseball field with the Prinny Squad lined up]
[Prinny Squad assumes their positions]
Prinny Squad: We challenge you to a game of baseball, dood!!
[Voice in the background screams 'Play ball!']
[Camera shows a closeup of home plate, where Laharl, Etna, and Flonne are all
standing]
Laharl: Etna.
[Etna turns toward Laharl]
Etna: Yes?
Laharl: Kill 'em.
Etna: Certainly.
---
Laharl: Ugh...! "His love is divided ten ways!" Yeah, sure... That was a BIG
help, you loony angel!!
Flonne: Hmmm, that's odd. Isn't the hero supposed to win?
---
Laharl: Why is it that I don't have any luck with vassals...?
---
Laharl: Is it okay for a hero to be using demons?
Red: Of course! Justice must never lose, no matter what the means!
---
Mid-Boss: Ugh...!
Mid-Boss: Oooh...!!
Laharl: --------?
Mid-Boss: Sudden stomach cramps..!!
Mid-Boss: Just when I was getting started... I, I beg your pardon, but I need
to use the restroom.
Mid-Boss: Consider yourselves lucky. You've been spared.
Mid-Boss: Au revoir!!
Laharl: He ran away...
Etna: His excuses are getting more and more pathetic.
Flonne: Huh? So... is that it?
Laharl: That means...
Laharl: I'm the Overlord!!
Laharl: Overlord! Overlord!! Overlord!!!!
Etna: Hmmm... The Prince is now the Overlord...
Etna: It's sooooo hard to believe.
Episode 7: Of Being an Overlord
Laharl: Haaahahahaha!!!!
Flonne: Geez... You just keep laughing and laughing.
Laharl: How can I not?
Laharl: I'm not the Overlord. That means that I'm the most eminent demon in all
of the Netherworld.
Flonne: I am aware of that.
Flonne: But, ever since you have become the Overlord, you have done nothing but
laugh.
Laharl: You don't understand a thing. Laughing is a very important aspect of
of being the Overlord.
Laharl: Besides, there isn't any urgent matter that suitable for my first act
as King Laharl the Terrible.
Etna: Oh, Prince<3 I got a job for ya.
Laharl: Call me "Your Highness". I'm the Overlord now.
Etna: Aww, come on... That's a minor detail.
Laharl: MINOR detail...?
Laharl: ...So, what kind of job is it?
Laharl: You want me to make it rain pepper on Earth so they can't stop
sneezing?
Laharl: Or, do you want me to give human kids an addictive video game that will
deprive them of their sleep?
Etna: Uh... No.
Etna: Come in, Aramis.
Aramis: ......
Laharl: Who's this kid?
Aramis: Don't call me a kid. You're more of a kid yourself.
Laharl: What!? Who the hell do you think I am!?
Flonne: Now, now. He is just a child.
Aramis: Shut up, flat-chest.
Flonne: WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU...!?
Flonne: *gasp* I mustn't!
Flonne: At times like this, love is the answer! With love, there is
understanding!
Aramis: Hey, does she have a few screws loose or somethin'?
Laharl: Hmph...! You've got some attitude, kid.
Etna: Just like you, Prince.
Laharl: Yeah, right. So, what's he got to do with the job?
Etna: Oh, yeah. His pets are missing.
Laharl: Hm?
Laharl: ...And?
Etna: And your job's to look for them.
Laharl: Why would I, the Overlord, look for some stupid little brat's pets!?
Laharl: Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!!
Laharl: Bring me something more fitting for my first task as Overlord!!
Etna: I refuse!!
Laharl: -----!?
Flonne: -----!!?
Etna: It may seem ridiculous to you, but it's important to him!!
Etna: This is a perfect way to begin your rule as Overlord!
Etna: And if you don't do it, I'm never gonna accept you as the Overlord!
Laharl: W, What are you getting so mad for? It's not like you.
Etna: Answer me! Will you do it or not?
Laharl: Ugh... F, Fine! I'll do it, I'll do it.
Aramis: Good! ...And you better not slack off!
Laharl: Ugh...! Why am I, the Overlord of the Netherworld, taking orders from
this annoying brat...?
---
Goleck: Prince!
Goleck: Your highness!
Goleck: King Laharl!
Goleck: ...There's no ring to that. I think I'll stick with "Prince".
Laharl: ......
(fuck u 2 goleck)
---
Zombie: OooooOooooooooOOhhh...
Laharl: A zombie.
Flonne: A zombie it is.
Laharl: Hey, brat. Don't tell me this one of your pets.
Aramis: Yeah. You got a problem with that?
Laharl: No. Actually, I like it. You've got good taste, kid.
Flonne: A zombie for a pet, huh...
Flonne: So... how do we catch it?
Laharl: Why not do the same thing we always do?
Etna: I guess that would work. I mean, zombies are already dead anyway. Let the
massacre begin!
Laharl: Agreed!
Flonne: Um, are you sure that's okay...?
---
Zombie: GwoooooooOooOoooohhhhh...
Laharl: Geez...
Laharl: These zombies aren't challenging at all, they're just plain bothersome.
Etna: Well, they DO come back to life after you kill them.
Laharl: Hey, brat.
Laharl: Is it okay with you if we tear your pets to shreds so they won't
bother us for awhile?
Aramis: Go ahead. I take them apart and put them back together again all the
time.
Etna: I used to do that too, when I was a kid!
Etna: Ahh, those were the days.
Laharl: Stop reminiscing about your childhood.
Flonne: ...Do all demon children play that way?
Laharl: Don't worry. Just those two.
---
Laharl: A horse wiener!? Now, THAT's dangerous! Guys, don't let your guard
down!!
---
Laharl: Here, I caught 'em all.
Laharl: So, quit your complaining.
Aramis: ......
Laharl: ...What? What's the problem now?
Aramis: ...Thank you, Your Highness.
Laharl: H, Hmph...! Well, it IS part of my job as the Overlord...
Laharl: And don't bother to thank me. If you want to show your gratitude, you
can repay me with your body.
Etna: Hmmm... I never knew you were like that...
Laharl: Idiot!
Laharl: I meant, become my vassal and serve me when you're old enough!
Aramis: ...Yes, Your Highness.
Laharl: Speak to me with respect from now on, got it?
Aramis: Yes, Your Highness!
Laharl: Hmhmhm...
Laharl: Haaahahahaha!!!!
Laharl: Did you hear that, Etna?
Laharl: That kid called me "Your Highness".
Laharl: So? Do you accept me as Overlord now?
Etna: Well... you passed for the time being.
Etna: But, be careful not to flunk out.
Laharl: Ugh...! Why you...!
Flonne: *giggle* Talk about strict.
Flonne: (Still, Laharl has changed quite a bit since the first time I met him.)
Flonne: (He is maturing little by little as he meets new people.)
Flonne: (And it feels like I have changed, too... since meeting him and his
companions.)
Flonne: (If you open your heart, you will surely grow and learn many new
things...)
Flonne: (...whether you're an angel...
...or a demon...)
Flonne: (If I can explain this to other angels, maybe they'll see that not all
demons are evil...)
Flonne: (And someday...)
Episode 8: Reincarnation
Etna: Like I said, several Prinnies are missing!
Laharl: Why!?
Etna: How should I know? Maybe they ran away because you treated them so badly.
Laharl: Hmmm...
Laharl: C, Come to think of it, 20-hour workdays with no days off WAS a bit
harsh...
Flonne: In conditions like that, it's no wonder that they chose to
fly-by-night.
Laharl: Fly-by-night? Is there something you're not telling us?
Flonne: Uh, no... Nothing at all.
Big Sis Prinny: Prince.
Laharl: Hmm? What?
Big Sis Prinny: Don't worry, they'll be alright... dood.
Laharl: I'm not worried about THEM!
Laharl: If people hear that I let my vassals escape, I'll lose all respect!
Laharl: That's why we're gonna find them! ...Even if it is a big waste of time!
Flonne: That's so mean! You don't have to say it like that...!
Etna: Take it easy, Flonne. He's just too embarrassed to admit the truth.
Flonne: ...Really?
Etna: Yeah... I think.
Flonne: ......
---
Laharl: Hey!
Laharl: Hey, you!
Flonne: Uhhh... Me?
Laharl: Yeah, you.
Laharl: You really don't know anything about the Prinnies?
Laharl: You've been acting weird ever since this morning...
Flonne: ...I don't know anything. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell YOU!
Laharl: Wh, What!?
Flonne: Prince Laharl, I have a name, and it's Flonne.
Flonne: It's not "Hey!" or "You!".
Flonne: You have never called me by my name, not even once, since the first
time we met!
Laharl: S, So? What's it to you?
Flonne: People's feelings are delicate. They can be hurt by just the slightest
insult.
Flonne: Laharl, you are too inconsiderate. You should approach people with more
love.
Flonne: The Prinnies ran away because you have no love!
Laharl: What!? You stupid Love Freak!! Who do you think I------
Flonne: There! That's the attitude I'm talking about!
Flonne: You'll never become a respected Overlord with an attitude like that!
Etna: ...Flonne, that doesn't seem like the kind of advice an angel should be
giving.
Laharl: Ugh...! What do you know about being an Overlord!?
Laharl! Forget it! I'm not talking to you anymore!!
---
Flonne: Etna.
Etna: Hm?
Flonne: Why is Laharl so stubborn?
Etna: Huh!? You kiddin'?
Etna: He's always been like that.
Flonne: I don't think that's entirely true.
Flonne: Haven't you noticed? His emotions are slowly changing.
Flonne: I thought that he had finally awoken to the power of love...
Etna: Oh, hohoho... So, that's why you were so angry.
Flonne: Y, Yes...
Etna: That's a demon for ya.
Etna: You seem to have your hopes pretty high, but don't you think that asking
for love from a demon is a bit ridiculous?
Flonne: ...You think so?
Etna: ......
Etna: Well, the Prince's case is a bit unique...
Flonne: Unique?
Etna: Yep... You see, his mother...
Etna: ...the Queen, was an eccentric person.
Etna: She was always talking about love and kindness.
Flonne: That's not weird at all.
Etna: Well, I didn't hate her, but I guess she couldn't help it, being a human
and all.
Flonne: A human?
Etna: Yep. She was a witch who came here to study.
Etna: The King fell in love with her at first sight. And eventually, the Prince
was born. Yada yada yada.
Flonne: Hmmmm. Is that so?
Etna: She was always saying things like, "Demons can love, too".
Etna: Whenever the Prince did something bad, she would scold him, because she
wanted to raise him to be a kind boy.
Etna: Maybe you remind him of his mother, Flonne.
Flonne: If he was raised that way, why is he like this now...?
Etna: ...The Queen died.
Flonne: Huh...?
Etna: A long time ago, the Prince was infected with a rare disease that even
the King couldn't cure...
Etna: There was only one way to save him...
Flonne: Which was...?
Etna: The life of one who loved him...
Flonne: Then...
Etna: That's right... The Queen took her own life, despite the King's efforts
to stop her...
Etna: ...It was at that point that the Prince started to hate love and
kindness...
Flonne: How sad...
Flonne: So unless his hatred fades, Laharl will have to live the rest of his
life without love?
Flonne: ...That's just not fair!
Etna: ...Maybe so.
Etna: But, I don't think that he's intentionally trying to hate love.
Etna: Hatred isn't just something that disappears that easily, is it?
Etna: Maybe you were a bit rough on him today.
Flonne: Ah...!
Etna: Well, don't try to get me involved.
Flonne: ......
---
Flonne: Yes... And that they work in Celestia and the Netherworld to atone for
those sins.
Big Sis Prinny: That's right...
Big Sis Prinny: The red moon purifies their sins so they can be reborn...
Flonne: What a heartwrenching sight...
Laharl: Etna! Stop them!
Etna: Prince, weren't you listening? The Prinnies are being reborn...
Laharl: Shut up! I never gave them permission for that!
Laharl: We'll drag 'em back here if we have to!
---
Laharl: We'll see about that! Those Prinnies are mine!
Laharl: They're my vassals... for all eternity!!
---
Laharl: Hmph... You sound just like that Love Freak...
Laharl: ......
Laharl: ...It's what's best for their sake?
Big Sis Prinny: That's right, dood.
Laharl: ...I see. Then, I'll let them go.
Big Sis Prinny: You understand, dood?
Laharl: ...Well, yeah.
---
[Words appear on screen as Flonne narrates]
The red moon reflected in Laharl's eyes, swaying sadly.
A gentle, loving mother who gave up her life to save her son...
A son who could only accept his mother's death by denying love and kindness...
I can't imagine how painful, how diffiult it was for him.
I'm sure the red moon will wash away his sorrow.
Laharl: Love... huh...
Flonne: Huh...?
Laharl: ...Nothing.
Laharl: Let's return to the castle... Flonne.
Flonne: Laharl...
[Words appear on screen as Flonne narrates]
When Laharl called me by my name for the very first time, I noticed... that
the red moon no longer shone in his eyes.
I'll always remember the sad tale of a mother and her son...
Episode 10: Angels, Demons, and Humans
Laharl: Gordon! After that, clean my room!
Laharl: Gordon! After that, make dinner!
[Fade to black]
[Camera shows Laharl's throne room]
Gordon: *huff* *huff* ...!
Gordon: (What humiliation! The Defender of Earth working for the Overlord! I
can't apologize enough to my predecessors!)
Laharl: Hmmmmm? You look unhappy.
Laharl: Don't tell me that a hero would break his promise, now.
Gordon: *groan*
Gordon: (A hero never breaks a promise!)
Gordon: (All I can do right now is endure this!)
Gordon: (As long as my faith does not falter, hope remains!!)
Gordon: (I've got it! I'll just pretend to obey him!)
Gordon: (And when he lets his guard down, I'll escape back to Earth!)
Gordon: (All right! I just need to have patience! Good thinking, Gordon!)
Laharl: Your eyes are full of hope... You're planning something, aren't you?
Gordon: N, No I'm not! I was just...
Jennifer: Morning, Harlie<3
Laharl: I told you not to call me that!
---
Laharl: ...Now I just plain pity you, Gordon.
Laharl: Alright, we're going to the Sea of Gehenna!
Laharl: I will never, ever allow those women to go picnicking on their own!
Gordon: That's a great idea! We should do it!
Gordon: It's not like we'd be going on a picnic, going lalala. Someone has to
protect them!
Laharl: Right, let's go!
---
Zommie: An angel assassin... An attack by humans... A lot has been happening
lately...
Laharl: All thanks to my evil deeds. Hmhmhm...
---
Dimensional Gatekeeper: Picnic at the Sea of Gehenna, Prince? You are still
quite childish. *chuckle*
Laharl: N, No, I'm not! I'm going to investigate the area...
Gordon: Picnic, picnic, La la, la la, laaaaa.
Dimensional Gatekeeper: So... You ARE going on a picnic.
---
Gordon: Lalala.
Gordon: Hahahahaha!! I never thought that picnicking in the Netherworld would
be so delightful.
Laharl: ...Is this guy really a hero?
Laharl: I'm not one to say, but... I always thought a hero was a bit more
dignified.
Laharl: This guy's just a fool.
---
Gordon: Hey! What's wrong, Master?
Gordon: You're not having fun? I thought kids loved picnics. The sky is blue,
the weather is perfect!
Gordon: Come on! Let's sing!
Laharl: I'm not a kid! I'm 1313 years old. And mentally, I'm much more mature
than you, too.
Etna: Mature? I think you two are about the same.
...For your information, I'm 1470.
Flonne: I'm ummm... fairly young.
Laharl: Young? How old is young?
Flonne: Young is... young.
Laharl: You're an angel, aren't you? Tell the truth.
Flonne: ......
Flonne: One thousand... five hundred nine.
Etna: What!? You're older than me!?
Laharl: Haaahahahaha!! You old hag!
Flonne: I'm not old!!
Jennifer: ...That's amazing. No one would think you're that old.
Laharl: Hmph. That's why humans act so foolishly. They judge solely on looks.
Jennifer: Ooh, you talk big. Then you shouldn't mind my body, right?
Laharl: Uh... W, Well...
Laharl: I'm getting hungry. Let's eat.
Jennifer: *chuckle* Changing the subject, huh? I'll let it slide this time.
Flonne: Here's the picnic basket...
Mid-Boss: En garde!!
Flonne: Ah, the picnic basket!!
Mid-Boss: It has been a while, mademoiselle. The sweet smell of these entrees
has led moi all the way here.
Etna: Hey, Mid-Boss! Give us back our food!!
Mid-Boss: Non non non non non... I cannot oblige.
Mid-Boss: For moi, a widower, this handmade lunch is like an oasis in a
desert...
Mid-Boss: I cannot give it back.
Laharl: You return after all this time, and for a stupid reason like this?
Flonne: Mr. Mid-Boss, you don't have anyone to make lunch for you? Poor
thing...
Mid-Boss: Stop pitying moi! That sends a sharp pain to my heart!
Gordon: Hold it right there!
Gordon: Mid-Boss, was it? That picnic basket is mine! Give it back, now!
Mid-Boss: Hmmm... You are a human, are you not?
Gordon: That's right! They call me Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!!
Mid-Boss: And why is the Defender of Earth picnicking with demons?
Gordon: Sh, Shut up! I'm not here because I want to be!
Mid-Boss: Very well. I shall test your resolve, o Defender of Earth...
Mid-Boss: Now! Can you retrieve this basket from moi!? Haaahahahaha!!
Gordon: Hey, you! Wait!!
Laharl: It's so pathetic that we put up with that idiot...
---
Laharl: I thought you were just a dumb blonde, but I guess I was wrong.
Jennifer: Hmmmm? Who was the one saying not to judge people by their looks,
Harlie?
Laharl: Uh... Did I say that?
Laharl: Anyways, we have to get the basket back before Mid-Boss eats it all!
Jennifer: *chuckles* You're right. Let's go.
---
Laharl: Well... I don't really care...
[Camera turns to face Flonne]
Flonne: You should! We're joining in!!
Episode 11: Hero's Will, Overlord's Way
Etna: It's your duty as an Overlord, again?
Laharl: That's right. I'll pound him into submission and make him my vassal!
Laharl: Rejoice, Gordon! It looks like you'll be meeting a new friend!
Haaahahahaha!!
---
Ghoss: Are there other Defenders of Earth?
Gordon: Well, not really...
Laharl: I'd be happy if there were. I would never be bored.
---
Flonne: But, how is he still alive? Compared to the typical human life span,
he should have passed away a long time ago.
Laharl: That's probably his soul.
Laharl: He probably couldn't rest in peace until he defeated the Overlord, so
his soul remained behind.
Flonne: Why...?
---
Laharl: ...Hey, Love Freak. You're not trying to force your beliefs on me
again, are you?
Flonne: Bingo<3
Flonne: Next time we run into him, let's lose on purpose.
Flonne: That way, he'll finally be satisfied, and his spirit will ascend to
heaven.
[Etna turns towards Flonne]
Laharl: Don't be ridiculous! I have a duty to fulfill, too! I can't lose on
purpose!
Flonne: Why? Is it that big a deal?
Flonne: Are you that selfish that you can't even save a poor hero's soul?
Laharl: Shut up! This is between me and him! So, stay out of it!!
Flonne: ......
[Laharl turns around]
Laharl: ...We're going in after him!
---
[Laharl steps forward]
Laharl: That we will! King Laharl runs from no one! Come on!!
[Flonne steps forward to face Laharl]
Flonne: W, Wait, Laharl! You're not actually going to fight him, are you?
[Laharl turns to face Flonne]
Laharl: Why not? He challenged me, didn't he?
Flonne: Laharl...! You're-----
[Etna turns to face Flonne]
Etna: Flonne, just let him do things his way.
Flonne: B, But...!
---
Don Joaquin: Here I come, Overlord!! Now is the moment that I fulfill my duty!!
Laharl: Very well! En garde, old hero!!
---
Flonne: Laharl! Why!? Why didn't you lose!?
Flonne: I know that you have a kind heart inside!
Flonne: Why...?
Laharl: ...You're starting to get annoying. I'm a demon. There was never any
kindness in my heart.
Laharl: You were wrong about me. Sorry to disappoint you.
Flonne: --------!!
Flonne: You've let me down, Laharl! You're the worst...
---
Laharl: Of course. Who do you think I am? I'm the great King Laharl.
Flonne: Umm, Laharl... I'm sorry that I jumped to conclusions and said such
horrible things...
Laharl: That's right! You said I'm "the worst...", didn't you?
Laharl: What were you gonna say next? "The worst..." what
[Flonne steps back]
Flonne: Uh... W, Well...
Gordon: I'd like to hear the answer to that, too.
Jennifer: Me, too.
Etna: What kind of filthy language was about to escape those love-preaching
lips?
---
Laharl: ...Wicked little angel.
Etna: Yep. Worse than a demon.
Flonne: N, No, I'm not...!
Episode 12: War of the Netherworld, Part 1
Laharl: N, No, they're not! It's just you!
Dratti: ...Let's hope so.
---
Ghoss: Since when was the Netherworld open to the public?
Laharl: Who cares? It's more fun this way.
---
Dimensional Gatekeeper: I feel a great power... Prince, be careful.
Laharl: There's no power greater than mine. Just relax and wait for my return.

Laharl: Aren't you happy, Flonne? There's someone even dumber than you.
---
Laharl: It's hard to believe that there's something more evil than me...
Laharl: You sure you're not imagining things?
Flonne: ...Maybe it's just me.
Episode 13: The War of the Netherworld, Part 2
---
Laharl: Hmhmhm...! Foolish, weak humans!
Laharl: Feel the wrath of the Overlord!!
Laharl: Haaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
---
Laharl: Looks like I took care of most of them]
Laharl: Hmph... What a weak bunch.
Etna: You really pay attention to the details, giving them time to escape
before destroying their ships.
Flonne: *giggle* See? He's not devoid of love.
Laharl: S, Shut up! I just don't want to stink up the Netherworld with human
corpses!
Laharl: I'm not...
---
Laharl: Hmmm... Your efforts are admirable. You'd make a great demon.
Laharl: But there wouldn't be a crisis in the first place if you humans weren't
so stupid.
Laharl: As the Overlord of the Netherworld, let me say just one thing...
Laharl: Clean up your own damn mess!!
---
[Camera shows a screen shot of a gigantic Jennifer]
Laharl: ...Hey.
Etna: ...Uh-huh?
Laharl: ...That's not what I expected.
Etna: ...Me either.
---
Gordon: I should be the one thanking you...
Gordon: ...Kurtis. You will be known as the 38th Defender of Earth.
Laharl: ...Heed my words, Death. I command you in the name of King Laharl.
Laharl: Lead the soul of Kurtis, Defender of Earth, to his family's side...
[Kurtis's soul flies off of the screen]
[Etna turns to face Laharl]
Etna: Prince...
[Flonne turns to face Laharl]
Flonne: Laharl...
[Laharl turns to face Flonne]
Laharl: ...Don't say a word. As the Overlord of the Netherworld, I was just
paying homage to a true hero.
Laharl: That's all...
Flonne: Yes...
I understand.
Final Episode: What Lies Beyond the Battle
Flonne: Yes.
Flonne: I must speak with the Seraph and find out what has been happening in
Celestia...
Laharl: Do you realize that you may have to face him as an enemy?
Flonne: Face Master Lamington as my enemy...?
Etna: He's the head of Celestia, right?
Etna: We know that someone in Celestia has been helping the EDF. He must have
known about it.
Jennifer: I agree. I think it's very possible that he's even the mastermind.
Laharl: Wasn't he the one who ordered you to go to the Netherworld in the first
place? ...To assassinate my old man?
Gordon: What!? An angel ordering an assassination? That's just wrong! He's
guilty, without a doubt!!
Flonne: No, he's not!
Laharl: Can you say that for sure?
Flonne: ...I believe in Master Lamington.
Laharl: ......
Laharl: ...I see.
Laharl: Alright, then. Let's get going.
Flonne: ...?
Laharl: It's a good opportunity for me to check out this so-called Seraph; I'm
going with ya.
Flonne: Laharl...
Etna: Geez Prince, why don't you just admit it?
Etna: "I'm worried about Flonne, so I'm gonna go with her!"
Etna: What's so hard about that, huh?
Laharl: F, Fool! That's far from the truth...!
Jennifer: Now, now. We all feel the same way, Harlie.
Gordon: Jennifer's right. As the Defender of Earth, I cannot let my comrade go
alone.
Thursday: BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP... WE ARE COMRADES. WE GO TOGETHER. END OF
DISCUSSION.
Laharl: ...Hmph. Bunch of fools.
Flonne: Everybody...
Flonne: ...Thank you.
---
Goleck: The Prinnies were talking about "multiple endings"...
Laharl: ...Huh? Endings to what?
Manty: You're going to Celestia, I hear. Bring back some gifts for us!
Laharl: Idiot. It's not a vacation.
Dratti: You've changed a lot, doing things for the sake of others.
Laharl: Sh, Shut up! I only do things for my own sake!
Gargo: So if humans can come here, that means we can go there, right?
Laharl: Hmmm... Now that you mention it...
---
Flonne: I beg you! Listen to me...!
[Laharl steps forward to face Flonne]
Laharl: Flonne, don't waste your breath.
[Everyone turns to face Flonne]
Etna: Yeah. These morons haven't listened to a word you've said.
[Flonne turns to face Etna]
Flonne: But, I... I can't fight...
Laharl: What happened to all that determination of yours?
Laharl: If you're just gonna give up, then why did you bother to come?
---
Laharl: Just don't waste my time with any more talk of giving up, or else I'm
outta here.
Flonne: I understand.
[Laharl turns to face the angels]
Laharl: Hmph... Then, let's hurry up and kick some angel butt!
Flonne: Okay!
---
Laharl: True. You look so evil, it's a pity that you're an angel.
---
Laharl: Hey! Who the hell do you think you are!?
---
Laharl: ...Geez, you're stubborn.
Laharl: Don't tell me it's because of love again...
Flonne: Yes it is, absolutely! To have faith in someone you respect... That's
love!
Laharl: *sigh* What a Love Freak.
---
Laharl: This is ridiculous. You guys are so naive.
Etna: Hm? Does that mean you're leaving, Prince?
Laharl: F, Fool! How can I turn back now when I haven't seen the Seraph!?
Laharl: I'll go on, even if it's by myself!
Flonne: Laharl...
Flonne: (Everybody, thank you so much...)
Flonne: (I'm glad that I met all of you.)
Flonne: (I have harmed my own kind...)
Flonne: (No matter how this journey ends, I will receive severe punishment...)
Flonne: (But, I have no regrets... I was able to meet such wonderful
companions.)
---
Flonne: No! Attacking separately won't do any good!
Flonne: We must ALL unite our hearts!!
[Laharl turns to face Flonne]
Laharl: Unite our hearts...?
[Flonne and Etna move to the middle of the party and face the angels]
Flonne: That's right! Whether we're angels, demons, or humans, we all share
the same feelings!!
Flonne: and if we focus those feelings together, we can accomplish anything!!
Laharl: ...How can you say something like that with a straight face?
Flonne: Laharl!
Laharl: Alright, alright. So the point is, we all attack at the same time,
right?
[Laharl steps back and joins the party]
Laharl: Then, let's do it. On the count of three...
Laharl: One, two, three!
---
Laharl: ...Hey, Flonne. Did I hear something about love and friendship just
now?
[Flonne turns to face Laharl]
Flonne: Yes, you did. So, what about it?
Laharl: Whaddya mean, "what about it"? I keep telling you that I don't feel
stuff like that!
Flonne: *giggle* Think whatever you want, Laharl.
Laharl: What did you say!?
[Etna turns to face Laharl]
Etna: Uh, Prince... Now that their force fields are down, isn't this our
chance?
Laharl: Yeah... but...
Laharl: ...We'll continue this discussion later! Don't forget!
Flonne: Okay, okay.
---
Laharl: Not just an ordinary demon. I am Laharl, King of the Netherworld!
---
[Laharl steps forward]
Laharl: This is crazy, Flonne! Why should you be punished!? You've done nothing
wrong!!
Seraph: ...Very well. I shall pardon their sins.
Flonne: I am grateful for your kindness.
Laharl: Flonne...
[Flonne turns to face Laharl]
Flonne: Thank you, Laharl.
Flonne: I knew I could trust in you.
Flonne: You taught me that demons do have love in their hearts.
Laharl: This doesn't make any sense to me!
Laharl: We're done here, aren't we!? Let's go back to the Netherworld!
[Flonne begins to glow]
Flonne: Laharl... I want you to have this pendant.
[Laharl steps back]
Laharl: S, Stop! That's...!!
[Screen turns white]
[Scene flashes back to the point of the game in which Laharl recovered Flonne's
pendant]
Flonne: Laharl...!
Laharl: Hurry up and take it. My hand is burning!
Flonne: O, Okay!
Laharl: ...The pendant is telling me that my heart is wicked.
Laharl: That's good to know.
[Screen turns white]
[Scene shifts back to the Seraphic Sanctuary]
Laharl: That's the pendant we had to look for! You want it to burn me again!?
[Flonne gives her pendant to Laharl]
Laharl: Aaaaaaaagh!!
Laharl: ...Huh?
Laharl: ...Hey, something's wrong. It's not doing anything...
Flonne: *giggle* Just as I thought.
Laharl: ...Whaddya mean?
Flonne: The wickedness has faded from your heart, Laharl. That's why the
pendant isn't punishing you anymore.
Laharl: What!? That can't possibly be right!! I'm a demon! The Overlord!!
[Flonne steps back]
Flonne: I'm so glad... I can say good-bye without any worries now.
[Flonne walks toward the Seraph]
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: Good-bye...? Flonne...!
[The entire party steps forward]
[Camera turns to face Laharl as he steps forward]
Laharl: Hey... Where do you think you're going?
[Flonne turns to face Laharl]
Flonne: Good-bye, Laharl. I hope you become a magnificent Overlord.
Flonne: Good-bye, everyone. Thank you so much for everything.
[Flonne turns away from the party, and Laharl attempts to run after her]
Laharl: Wait! Flonne!
[The Seraph begins casting a spell on Flonne, and she begins to glow in white]
Flonne: Good-bye...
[Screen turns white]
[Scene resumes, with Flonne having been turned into a flower]
Etna: Flonne... Why...!?
Laharl: ......
Seraph: The existence of Angel Trainee Flonne has been erased, along with her
sins...
[Laharl steps forward]
Laharl: Flonne...
Laharl: Hey, Flonne... What are you doing...? I didn't say you could do
this...!
Laharl: You're going to abandon me? Like my mother did?
Laharl: I didn't give you permission!
Laharl: Is this what you call love!? If it is, then I'll never believe in love!
Ever!!
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: Prince...
Seraph: King Laharl, do you despise me?
Laharl: Despise you...!? Of course I do, you bastard!!
Laharl: ...kill...you...
Laharl: I'll kill you!!
Laharl: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
[Fire illuminates from Laharl as the screen turns white]
Seraph: (This is my punishment... I willingly accept it.)
[Fade to black]
Endings
(NOTE: This ending is seen by going through the game without killing a
single ally)
[After the battle, Laharl is shown standing over the Seraph, sword in hand]
Laharl: ......
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: What's the matter, Prince?
[Laharl sheathes his sword and turns away]
Laharl: ...I've had enough of this.
Etna: ...?
Laharl: It's not like this will bring her back...
Laharl: ...Besides, if that Love Freak was here, she would have stopped me
anyway...
Etna: Prince...
[Laharl steps in front of Flonne's flower and sheds a tear]
Laharl: What is this...? A tear...?
Laharl: ...Hmph.
Laharl: I never knew I could shed tears...
Laharl: ......
[Laharl turns to face Etna]
Laharl: Etna.
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: Yes?
Laharl: ...I leave the rest to you.

=== ii. Normal Ending ===
(NOTE: This ending is seen by not fulfilling the prerequisites for the Good,
Bad, or Dark Assembly endings)
[After the battle, Laharl is shown standing over the Seraph, sword in hand;
the Seraph is lying in a pool of his own blood]
Laharl: *gasp* *gasp* ...!
Vocie: Wait!
[Mid-Boss appears on the side of the room, and everyone but Laharl turns to
face him]
Etna: Mid-Boss?
[Camera turns to face Mid-Boss as he walk to up Laharl]
Mid-Boss: I did not make it in time...
Mid-Boss: It was I who was to accept punishment...
[Laharl turns to face Mid-Boss]
Laharl: ...Are you out of your mind? He deserved to die.
Laharl: He killed Flonne... even though she had complete faith in him.
Mid-Boss: You are mistaken. The Seraph had no intention of killing her...
Mid-Boss: He fought you to atone for his sins, and to test you.
Laharl: To test me...?
[Mid-Boss steps forward]
Mid-Boss: Yes... He was testing your heart.
Mid-Boss: If you had spared him, Flonne's life would have been restored.
However...
[Laharl sheathes his sword and stands in front of Flonne's flower]
Laharl: Are you trying to say... I'm the one that's responsible for Flonne's
death!?
Laharl: ...That she's dead...because of me...?
Etna: Prince...
Laharl: ......
[Laharl walks toward the party]
Laharl: ...Etna.
[Etna steps forward]
Etna: Yes?
Laharl: ...Take good care of the Netherworld for me.
Etna: P, Prince...?
[Laharl turns toward Flonne's flower]
Laharl: I owe her at least this much...
[The party steps forward one by one, and Mid-Boss steps back]
Laharl: ...Farewell.
Etna: Prince!!
Laharl: Haaaaaaaaahhhh!!
[Screen turns white]
Laharl: ...If there is a god, may he hear my plea!!
Laharl: I, Laharl, have one request! Take my life, in exchange for Flonne's!
Laharl: Bring her back to life, I beg of you...!!
