DXD OVERLORD

DUEL Location the Underworld, Bael Territory: a Nearby Clearing

The fight between Laharl and Ruby has just started. With the two of them being locked in a clash of strength. To Laharl's surprise Ruby was pushing back against his strength, something he'd welcomed. Literal years have passed, and he never had an actual challenge until now, and he was very excited for that.

Their faces soo close to one another, each was a predatory grin, plastered on their respected face. As Laharl used his strength to break the deathlock that they were just in. And the two young devils, started wailing on the other. Swinging their respected sword with all their force, each time their blades meet a loud crashing sound was made. They continued this onslaught on one another, until Laharl switched it up and used one of his sword techniques. While he kept blocking Ruby strong and heavy slashes, he was gathering a large amount of demonic power through his blade. As he lifted off the ground, and in a burst of speed spinning around the Ruby, causing a gust to manifest behind him. She immediately recognized what he was doing, but before she could do something about, a large gust was formed. It's power and speed lifting her off from the ground, grunting and struggling to break free, as Laharl struck. Delivering a wind enhanced slash from behind Ruby, making her scream as she was smashed into the ground, as then as she bounced off the ground and Laharl finished his technique, with a final wind slash from the front, causing a gust to strike Ruby as well. His Hurricane Slash technique, stronger and faster than ever, but of course he held back since he didn't want to kill or seriously hurt Ruby in this fight.

Laharl heard laughing. Turning around as he was on guard, with his Zanbato ready. As Ruby was getting back up, using her sword to push herself back onto her feet. She was impressed, as she said to him, "Not bad, Laharl. But...(straighten herself and grabbing her greatsword in both hand, and lifted over her head)...can you handle this." She channel a large amount of her demonic power through her blade, and in a strong downward slash, her cut blasted a energy wave at Laharl. This is her sword technique, Wind Cutter. The energy wave was soaring towards Laharl, and he rolled out the way and when the energy wave struck ground, a huge explosion occurred.

But just as he was about to stand up from his roll, Ruby already sent another Wind Cutter over at him. With no time to dodge, he used his scarf to bundle all around the front of him, to act as a makeshift shield to protect himself. And as the energy wave struck Laharl, another explosion of energy occurred. Ruby smiled as the blast kicked up dust, then she channeled more demonic energy through her sword, and she swung her blade a couple more times, blasting a couple more Wind Cutters at Laharl. Several explosions happened as those energy waves soared into the dust cloud.

Ruby was having soo much fun, and as this fight between her and Laharl, she'd hoped that wasn't yet over. As she waited to see if Laharl survived her barrage. Then a flash of something shining through the dust cloud, caught Ruby's attention. When Laharl burst out of the dust cloud, with some scratches and scrapes on his body and clothes. He used his Blade Rush technique, to burst out from his previous spot and close in on Ruby, who barely managed to block his attack. As one again they once again started swinging their swords at one another, blocking and parrying the other attack in this latest lock of strength.

Location Belladonna's Mansion Belladonna, she was overseeing some things around the mansion, with Marron always faithfully by her side, and Kyoko was even with them. As Marron was relying some orders, they were all meet with a loud explosion. This shocked everyone, especially the servents of the mansion, believing that they must be under attack, but Kyoko stopped all the panic. She'd explained that Laharl-sama was in the middle of a duel, with a devil that has caught his interest. This did serve to calm some thing around the mansion, but Belladonna. With a serious and commanding posture and look, that scared Kyoko, plus it didn't help that Miss Marron was giving off the same aura, and also her glasses glimming didn't make things better either. Belladonna said, "Kyoko, sweetie. Please explain this to me?" Kyoko babled a bit from nerves and fear, but she eventually started to say things to Miss Belladonna.

Location the Clearing: Duel Site The clearing was filled with holes and scorch marks, from Laharl and Ruby's fight. They were currently swinging their respected sword at the other again. Both of them were sporting some damage, from scratches and bruises. But even so they were both smiling, and excited, eager to push this fight to the next level. As Ruby swung her sword with all her strength into a high horizontal slash, which Laharl blocked with his Zanbato, this caused the weaker greatsword of Ruby to shatter against the massive sword of Laharl. The clear difference between the class of blades was obvious that the better sword would willstand everything thrown at it.

This pissed Ruby since her crappy sword couldn't handle her power and she lost...but instead of Laharl telling she'd lost or mocking her. He instead store away his sword, confusing her, and Laharl, he saw her confusion. He smiled as he explained himself, "Didn't I say this before? (as he conjured a ball of purple electricity on his open right hand) What kind of fight would be fun or worth fighting, if it's not fair? So Ruby let's keep going until one of us is the clear winner." This made Ruby smile as she started to like Laharl more and more, she might even make him, her's once she'd win this fight...with her being the dominant one of this relationship. She cracked her knuckles, as she formed a ball of red, and scarlet chaotic energy onto her left hand. This is her magical technique Anarchy Bolt, as she threw it at Laharl and he countered with his Dark Bolt, causing a huge explosion of dark and chaotic magical energies.

They started blasting each other with their "weakest" spell, as Dark and Anarchy Bolts soared allover the place, causing multiple explosions everywhere. They were constantly running around avoiding the other's magic, they were soo enthralled in their fight, that they'd failed to noticed the audience watching them. Standing near the wooden edge of the clearing was Belladonna, Marron, and Kyoko, watching the battle proceed. As Belladonna was amazed that such a blue, antennae haired girl was not only able to match her son, but was soo capable in her magic and power like her son and little Kyoko. She watched them blasting one another, and she was reminded a bit of herself and Krichevskoy back in the day. Belladonna, she sighed in nostalgia, with Kyoko looking at her in confusion.

As the battle continued, Ruby took some distance from Laharl, as she gathered as much demonic power as she could. With red, and scarlet chaotic energy, surging through her hands, which she brought together and started to form a huge ball of crimson and vermillion swirling, chaotic magic, she tossed this giant daemonic energy ball at Laharl. That is her Havoc Reaver technique, and it was her final attack as she felt her magical reserve going empty. As she panted from fatigue, as her Havoc Reaver, surged forward at Laharl.

Laharl, he didn't risk himself by blocking such a attack, so instead he spread his scarf as it transformed into his devil wings. Taking flight he easily evaded the huge ball of destruction, as it struck the ground and cause a humongous explosion. Everyone watching was forced to cover their eyes to avoid dust getting into their eyes. Even Ruby had to use her scarf, to cover her face, but being blinded from everything. Which allowed Laharl to fly around Ruby being unseen by everyone. As the dust was settling, and she lowered her scarf, and only saw destruction along with many things were on fire. But no Laharl, despite all the power she put into her Havoc Reaver, she knew that he wouldn't be taken out that easily, that's when she felt something warm on her back.

Turning her head to see over her shoulder. To see Laharl standing there with a smirk, and his right arm outstretched and his hand has a Dark Bolt, ready to fire at anytime. Chuckling, he said to Ruby, "Well do you give up? Do you become mine?" Ruby face was blushing bright, and her mouth was wide open. She lost, and she wasn't mad, in fact she felt heartbeat growing faster. Ruby felt very attracted to Laharl, and felt that he more than worthy of following and much more. As Ruby smile she turned her head, and said, "Yeah you got me. I lose, and you won big babe." Then a new voice came into the conversation, "Excuse me, young lady but what do mean by "babe"?" as they both turned to see the dark red dressed with some black lace and roses, red haired beauty, it was Laharl's mom, Belladonna Bael. With her arms crossed under her large bust, and both Marron and Kyoko standing beside her.

Laharl knew he was in trouble. As he ceased his Dark Bolt, and lowered his hand, while Ruby crossed her arms in defiance and said, "The name's Ruby Riotte, and who are you, old lady?" Everyone especially Laharl, and Kyoko have a shocked and pale face, after hearing what Ruby just said. That's when Belladonna released a massive amount of demonic power and magic, manifesting in a red aura, everyone took a step back, and Kyoko ran over to Laharl and hid behind him. Ruby realized that she fucked up, and like Kyoko she hid behind Laharl, with fear clearly shown on her face. That's when Kyoko spoke to Ruby, telling her that she just insulted a Ultimate-Class Devil, but also Laharl-sama's mother.

This made Ruby pale more. As she just realized that she just insulted her man's mom, and quite possibly her future mother-in-law, turning back at the angry Belladonna, and she was sure that she'd fucked up!! But Laharl spread his arms and wrapped his scarf around her and Kyoko to protect them. He said proudly that Ruby is his, just like Kyoko they are his future peerage member, his family, and loved one. His bold words making both girls blush, and said his name softly, this did appeased a bit of Belladonna's anger. And seeing this Ruby decided to be brave, and not be a spineles coward in front of her man!!

Stepping out of Laharl's back, and taking a few step closer to Belladonna, she'd bowed deeply, and apologized for everything she'd said. Seeing that this girl, called Ruby, was sincere, Belladonna sighed and reigned in her magic. But she still demanded, "Laharl please explain what happened here now!!" That's when Ruby stood up straight again, walked over to Laharl and to everyone's surprise, grabbed his scarf and pulled him in for a deep kiss. After a few moments she broke the kiss, making both of them blush, as she turned to Belladonna again and said, "Belladonna ma'am!! I'm sorry for my rudeness. Once again I'm Ruby Riotte, and I'm happy to say I am Laharl's woman!!!" All the servents that were gathered to see the fight, gasped at such a bold claim from such a young girl. Kyoko who looked a bit peeved, she too gathered her courage, lowered her mask showing such a lovely face, and kissed Laharl as well, which made Ruby smirk, as she like her boldness as well. Once Kyoko broke her kiss with Laharl-sama, she stated, "I am Kyoko Needleworker!! Future knight of Laharl-sama, and his woman as well!!!"

Laharl short circuit for a bit. As he reached his gloved hand to his lips, he was kissed twice...in front of his mom!! He saw his mom was shocked, but Kyoko and Ruby have confessed, and he wasn't a Beta Male. Wrapping his arms around their waists and pulling them close to himself, he said, "Yes!! Kyoko and Ruby are mine!!! And no one is taking them away from me, not even you mom!!!" Belladonna watched her son's serious expression, and swore she'd saw his father in him, sighing she told Marron to dismiss everyone and return to mansion as she'll deal with this. Marron bowing to her, rushed off to do as order, but stopped to look a little Kyoko, and gave her a approving nod before leaving. Belladonna told her son and the girls to follow her, as they'll finish this conversation in her study.

THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE FAMILY Location Belladonna's Mansion, Belladonna's Private Study

After the unique introduction, and kisses that she witnessed both girls give her son along with bold confession. She was sitting behind her workdesk, as she watched three young devil in front of her. Closing her eyes and sighing deeply, Belladonna, she asked her son to explain who is Ruby, why they fought in such a level, and what is their relationship?

Laharl explain that he and Ruby meet ways back, as she was beating down some punks trying to harass her. He respected her strength and toughness, so they sorta became rival...then aquentences...later they challenged one another...as he and Ruby blushed, as he mentioned that they challenged one another, to claim the other. Belladonna watched and listened in stoic silence, before sighing, as she thought of Krichevskoy, and how they're young relationship was just like this. Closing her eyes she spoke, "Very well, this is what will do. Ruby you shall be living with us for now on." making her, Kyoko, and Laharl happy, but then Belladonna continued, "However. I'll will not have such a wild child, acting reckless in this household. You hear me Ruby!? For next few months, I'll be teaching you how to better conduct yourself, with other adults, and stranger. Am I understood!?" All three of them, said a high-pitched "yes", making her nod, and say, "Now then...(getting up from her chair, and walking over to Ruby, and giving her a loving smile)...welcome to the family, Ruby." and that how a new member to the Bael household came to live with them.
