DXD OVERLORD

OLD SATAN FACTION Location the Underworld, the Capital City of Lilith: Sirzechs' Castle, Sirzechs's Private Office

Sirzechs and his wife Grayfia, were in private officer, as after a while the devil that young Laharl captured from the attack a while ago, and Belladonna gave to Sirzechs and the other Satans to question. It took some time but the prisoner broke and confessed who is responsible for organizing a attack to Belladonna's Mansion, and target Laharl. In order to obtain exclusive control over the rare and valuable monster materials that the young Bael heir has been hunting and selling. Hence the attack, they underestimate the power and prowess of his young cousin, even he the current Lucifer, sometimes forgets how special Laharl is. And for that reason those that organized the attack lost and were hiding fearing retaliation, and as much as Sirzechs wanted to he couldn't even if was a long time ago, and all seems like its prospering around the Underworld the damage and scars from the Civil War still remain. Sirzechs sighed as he looked out the huge window of his office, and saw the now advance city build from once were the ruins of once were a battlefield, he asked Grayfia who he trusted above many, "Grayfia? What do you think we should do with this information?"

Grayfia standing there in her iconic white and blue maid outfit, sported a sad smile and walked over to her King and husband. Placing a loving hand over his shoulder, looking up to his face and say, "I know...probably more than many, that you do not wish for this to spark into another war. But...we shouldn't bury this. Belladonna and Laharl are important to the Underworld, to us as family. This could risk losing them in many way, and a greater blow to the Underworld is to surely happen." Sirzechs, sighed again for what his wife and trusted queen has just said was utterly correct. After such horrors wrought by two wars, one between the three factions, and then a civil war between their people. He desperately tried to avoid any animosity and aggression that can provoke a another war...but when his mother and his aunt said that they were pregnant, and the thought of two adorable devils being born into this world, especially with the difficulty that their race as a whole face in that front. He was overcome with joy, someone that actually depended on him not as a ruler, not as the strongest, but cause he was family. It brought some relief from his own scars wrought by the war.

Looking his wife, and smiling he told her, "Can you please contact the other Satans. They must be the first to hear this before, aunt Belladonna and little Laharl." Grayfia, she nodded. Putting on a serious face and leaving the office. Sirzechs he turned to his desk, where the report of the prisoners confession and statements was on. He grabbed it and read two words again..."Old Satan"...he hoped this wasn't a bad omen for thing to come...

Location Capital City of Lilith: the Central Tower of Lilim; Top Floor Sometime later. After not only calling Ajuka, Falbium, and Serafall who was wearing a suit this time for how serious Gray-tan sounded. Sirzechs held a important meeting that involved the attack on Belladonna's mansion, he'd passed copies of the statement reports of the interrogation with the only captive of the accident. As they read it, and discovered the real culprits of the whole fiasco, they understood Sirzechs's behavior. Turns out that the Old Satan Faction, caught wind of the material that Laharl was selling through House Bael, since Serafall and Sirzechs were cautious on selling these valuable materials and avoiding to members of that faction in fear of what they can possibly do with those materials. Ajuka himself has mentioned that by studying those materials new weapons, armors, and potions with incredible benefits have been achieved and are starting to sell across the Underworld and beyond, greatly helping their faction and their race as a whole.

They never expected that those extremists would take such a bold action. Serafall and Ajuka were they most worried should the Old Satan Faction get their hands on those materials, or Laharl's secret hunting grounds, or worse hurt the poor boy. They took sometime to discuss and come to a decision on what to do with this information. As they can't barge into the Old Satan Faction's borders without further evidence, then some goon's confession the old farts of the council would shut down any attempts to do so. All they could do at the moment was tell Belladonna and in turn she'll tell Laharl, with the Old Satan Faction snooping around her territory it be best for them to be warn and prepare for any other incidents like this. Ajuka also suggested that they try to convince Laharl to share the location of his hunting grounds with them, so they can secure them and also help in the procuring of these monsters. Sirzechs chuckled a bit as logical as that sounded in his old friend's mind, he was underestimating Laharl's stubbornness and will.

Location Bael Territory: Belladonna's Mansion, Belladonna's Study Currently Belladonna, she was in a meeting with her nephew, Sirzechs accompanied as usual by his wife and queen, Grayfia. Just a couple moments ago her nephew and his wife came to report the finding from the bald punk, she'd hand delivered to them. She wasn't in a good mood after hearing and reading the results.

As it turns out. That punk and his associates were apart of the Old Satan Faction, and their target was her son all along. Only to get exclusive control of what's rightfully her son's. She'd remember telling her nephew, that he and the others that fought to stop all the endless carnage wrought by the original satan clans, she and her husband said to him that they should have eliminated them completely, to avoid any further threats and chaos. And now just as she and Krichevskoy predicted it came true, all cause Sirzechs and the other Four Great Satans didn't want further bloodshed. Belladonna, she sighed as she spoke to Sirzechs, "Always complicated. Always, always. Sirzechs I love you my nephew but you are too weak hearted at times." with his aunt saying this Sirzechs couldn't help but accept her words as truth. She told him that she'll talk thing over with Laharl and Albedo, and report the results. After all that they conversed a bit like family and went their separate ways...

ALBEDO THE BEST QUEEN Location Bael Territory: Belladonna's Mansion, Albedo's Office

It been another year since Albedo has more than proved herself as skillful and dutiful Queen of her darling's peerage, and has even taken over 50% of all the paperwork that Lady Belladonna does. With her skills in administration and more she'd not finish all work fast, but did so without errors or issues. She'd even secured some contracts with devils to work around the mansion, from building special magic barriers and more, thus upgrading security and ease of mind in the mansion. This earned her a lot of respect and admiration from the servents around the mansion, it was originally Lady Belladonna and her beloved's late father's meer presences that made anyone think twice before going against them. But with Lord Krichevskoy passing, and Lady Belladonna trying to have some peace in her own territory, their enemies became inbolden and try to attack them.

In her office that was slightly molded after the style of her former guild of Ain Ooal Gown, with royal purple and white everywhere, she'd managed to secure what her King requested of her, she has secured a meeting with the old chief of the Nekomata Village. Making her soo happy and excited to hear Laharl's praises to her. This almost makes up for the whole event a year ago, with Lady Belladonna telling her and Laharl of who was responsible for the attack two years ago, it was some imbeciles from a separate group within their race, called the Old Satan Faction. Because of their extremist and warmongering, view and actions most of the other races are quite mistrusting and hostile to devils, not that she or Laharl-sama cared. Laharl refused to tell the Four Satans of the dungeon, and they promised to handle things around their territory, which lead to her making some contracts and deals to make barriers and wards allover the territory, and the mansion. Belladonna expressed her gratitude to her and praised her...it felt good, especially with her future mother-in-law hugged and thanked her for looking out for their home.

Albedo smiled as she got up from her white workdesk and left to speak to Laharl. For in a couple of weeks they would meet with the Nekomata elder and leader. Laharl mentioned that he planed on securing the service of the nekomatas and nekoshou, because he saw potential on their touki, senjutsu and other special abilities as youkai.

CONTRACT Location the Humanworld, Japan: the Hidden Nekomata Village

Two weeks later. Laharl and his peerage have teleported into the humanworld in the land of Japan. In a secluded mountain near Tokyo. He and the girls, were standing in front of a massive red torii gate. Cerberus was amazed by the sights and scents, claiming that some powerful energy in the air, they must be chakra and senjutsu that youkai are masters of using. Out of respect to the nekomata tradition, they waited for someone to allow and guide them inside the village. After a couple moments, the triplets started sniffing the air, and said in unison, "I smell cat." meaning that their guides were soon arriving. As a couple of female nekomata of black and white hair respectfully in blue yukatas and a pink obi, came with their cat ears and tail proudly shown. They bowed respectfully to Laharl in his girls as they requested that they follow.

After a few moments they'd arrive in a classic feudal Japan style village, with nekomata and few nekoshou of various ages and genders running around, or working, or tending to laundry. Laharl compared it to watching a Inuyasha episode, as Albedo, Ruby, Cerberus and Kyoko were at awe and sometimes waved at the youkai that greeted them. Laharl forgot while Kyoko is a kunoichi, she was first and foremost a makai demon. Even if her name, style, and form is based of Japan, it didn't mean she knew or experience Japan or Japanese culture, so like the rest of the girls this must be an experience for her. As the two nekomata guides led them across the village, over to the largest building in the village, he assumes to be the home of the elder.

Waiting in the front yard of the building, as the nekomata guides left to inside of the house. While Laharl and the girls looked around at the rock garden with a small shrine in the side, and a pond with some bamboo growing at the edge of the pond. Then the two nekomata girls, return kneeled beside the entrance of the slide door, as a old nekoshou came out. He was bald, with white cat ears, and white thick eyebrows and beard, a yellow jinbei with a brown haori over it, and a faded brown robes as he was sitting in a seiza position. The elder bowed his head and greeted Laharl, as Laharl did the same in respect with the girl following his led in kind. They began to talk and discuss the reason that Laharl went to the trouble of securing this meeting with him, Laharl was blunt and honest explaining that a devil clan, House Naberius was performing experiments on two young nekoshou, he didn't say their names but he did say it was all in a crazy attempt to create artificial Super Devil at the level of Sirzechs. When said and showed some evidence to the elder, he and the nekomata girls were shocked and outraged by these actions.

Laharl, he calmed and said, "Hey I find this utterly disgusting to. But before you demand retribution or my help in trying to get justice for your behave, let me explain more." the elder calmed down and listened. Laharl, talked about how futile it be he did. Cause the Four Satans are under the leash of a self-serving council of idiots, and even if those nekoshou have all the right to retaliate and kill the bastard that was experimenting on them. They be branded stray regardless, placed for execution on the spot, so they couldn't return here less the devils come to raice this village to the ground. And if by some stupid action, say one of these nekoshou managed to find a way to insure the safety of their sibling and only family member, all that person has to do act like a power crazy maniac, and blame it on the nekomata natural attunement to senjutsu. Which made the old elder, gasp cause it was true, and quite possible for that to happen. But once again Laharl, he spoke again, "Now here be the part where you, think you can rely on either your faction leader Lady Yasaka or in that Shinto Goddess, Amateratsu. Well I hate to say it won't work either." as he first talked about their Sun Goddess, out of fear that the Big G. in Heaven would retaliate if she'd does something, which in turn will trigger the other pantheon Gods to react and risk a great war to occur, she'd allowed a extermination to happen and say a warning to the devils to say face, and Yasaka is in a worse boot. Bound to the leylines, and being the chosen priestess of Amateratsu...the old nekomata to finish Laharl's words, "...she'll let these atrocities slide..." and Laharl, he sadly nodded. Despair gripped the old elder, and his nekomata attendants, but Laharl spoke again, "That's why I'm here. I can't let such a injustice happen. I have a solution that will save the nekomata and nekoshou race, come work and serve under my mom. Belladonna Bael. With her and my sponsorship, you'll be safe in our territory out the reach of the other devils, youkai, and the Shinto Gods!!" The old nekomata has heard tale of Belladonna power and kindness, this deal it was really the only salvation for their race, as he kneeled and follow in suit by his attendants, and they called him, "Laharl-sama" he and the girls smiled, since he just secured the nekomatas service and survival by speaking truth. And with this he has just destroyed a major plot point and event in DXD, not that he cared much, he did this cause it was right...and it benefitted his family also, as the elder excused himself telling him he needed to tell the village or they upcoming fate and salvation...
