The Overlord’s Lilium
Chapter 2: Annihilation: Enter the “Agents” (Title is combination of Elfen Lied episode 2 title, Annihilation, and Disgaea game episode 2 title, Enter Flonne. "Agents" is in the story. Elfen Lied belongs to Lynn Okamoto and studio ARMS. Disgaea belongs to Takehito Harada and Nippon Ichi.) Dedicated to Lidaea and anyone elso who helped me to write this. Author's Note: This is less than half a chapter, but with all my work, I'm feeling uninspired. Please read what I have so far and inspire me. All inspirers will go on this Chapter's Part 2 dedication section.

“I appreciate the offer, but I will become God of the new Diclonius-filled world by solely using the power of Diclonius. My daughter has foreseen it,” exclaimed Chief Kakuzawa. The white-winged man smirked and said, “But you are already using humans as soldiers and mercenaries. Besides do you really think that deformed daughter of yours can be foretell the future? What makes you think this?” Kakuzawa, being deeply angered by this, responded, “Deformed? She has received modifications to attain the knowledge of a goddess! I will not have you ridiculing my methods and my children!” The white-winged man laughed at this and said, “A goddess? She may know more than most mortals, but she is far from being divine! Very well, I shall prove to you that my angelic powers are true! Did you know that the United States are conducting android research?” Kakuzawa responded, “Yes, many of our own bionic and cyborg equipment is based on this.” The white-winged man continued, “Well, I was well “acquainted” with the US’s former president, Carter (author’s note: he is referring to General Carter, not Jim Carter), and because of that, he let me “borrow” a few of the android 1.0 prototypes. Using this holy silver as their core, they have been upgraded to 2.0. I refer to them as “Agents”. Here is my game: I have a small group of Agents try to retrieve this “Lucy” you spoke of, and you have your own men do the same. If I find her first, you will acknowledge my power and put me in absolute command of your armies. If your men do, I will give you any and all of the androids I acquired for you to use as you wish. To help your chances, you may even use more than one group, while I will only use one group.” “Very well,” responded Kakuzawa. “For my group,” Kakuzawa continued as he ordered in two people, a young female researcher in her mid-twenties and a tall, black-coated man wearing sunglasses. “This is Arakawa, a researcher who took over my son’s research after he became too ambitious and paid the price for it, and this is a mercenary I hired by the name of … of… Wait, what’s your name again?” Kakuzawa asked the sunglasses man. The man responded with a grin filled with bad intentions, “I don’t reveal my name even to clients. Also if this succeeds, you get what you want, but what’s in it for me?” Kakuzawa was astonished and little angry, “This is what I’m paying you for!” The man replied, “The mediocre pay isn’t nearly enough, in fact no monetary value is enough for a job this dangerous.” Now Kakuzawa was really angry and replied, “So you’re going to quit?” The black-coated man responded, “No, instead, along with the money, I also want something else. For example, if I find Lucy first, I get the money, and I get to keep that girl as a sex slave.” He said while pointing to Arakawa. Arakawa was shocked at this and was about to protest but was interrupted by Kakuzawa agreeing to the perverted mercenary’s “pay request”. “Very well, if you complete this task, then she will be all yours, bounty hunter,” said Kakuzawa “Also the scientists should have picked an appropriate Diclonius for the tracking device you requested.” “Good,” said the mercenary. “But first let me “sample” her before you start the “procedure”… (Author’s note: To found what happened in detail, in that part, read the Elfen Lied Manga, though I forgot which chapter. sweatdrop )

“Ow…” whined Laharl as he recovered and got up from his recent “encounter” with Nyu. “Watch where you’re going, human!” he yelled. Nyu got up, as well as, but she wasn’t exactly her “happier self”. Her other personality, Lucy, awoken the moment she got bumped. “Human?” Lucy asked, wondering. This was strange to her because in order to call someone else human in that tone would mean the speaker was not human. However, the only speaking non-humans she knows of are her fellow Diclonii, which this blue-haired youth clearly was not. “Then what are you?” asked Lucy. “Me?” Asked Laharl. “I am the great Demon King (Author’s Note: In the original Japanese, Overlord is Maou which literally translated to Demon (Ma) King (Ou), so I may switch back and forth between Demon King and Overlord whenever I feel like it. BTW when Overlord is translated in Japanese, it doesn’t have anything to do with Demon King (I confirmed it in both Wikipedia and Google Translate Tool). It would just mean a lord that rules over other lords, which is clearly not what the English translators would have wanted. To me, Overlord is an over-romanized term kind of like how in Final Fantasy VII, the name Safer Sephiroth should have been translated to Seraph Sephiroth but wasn’t, but enough about my rant about bad translation. Let’s get back to the story.) Laharl!” Lucy was both puzzled and amused by this. “King? A kid like you?” She retorted. Laharl was obviously angered by being called a kid and responded, “How dare you call me a child! You wanna die?” “Humph, what could you possibly do against this?”Responded Lucy as she activated her vectors causing some of the nearby dust to fly. “Haaaahahaha!” laughed Laharl as he activated his blue-fiery demonic aura causing the pavement to char. Right as they charged towards each other ready to kill, two voices yelled out “Stop!” One of those voices was that of a teenage boy who was around age 19, and the other was that of a teenage girl who looked she was 15 at most (but was actually a LOT older obviously). Lucy turned around and saw Kohta, while Laharl turned around and saw Flonne. “Laharl, I thought I told you not to cause trouble for the humans!” yelled Flonne to Laharl. Flonne, then, turned to Lucy and asked kindly, “Oh, are you OK? Laharl, here, can be rather rude to people.” “Nyu, you promised me that you wouldn’t attack random people!” Kohta yelled to Lucy. Kohta, then, turned to Laharl and said caringly, “I apologize for my friend’s aggressiveness. She doesn’t usually attack cosplaying children.” “Eh?” Kohta and Flonne looked at each other, wondering why the other was so concerned about the one they knew was powerful and why so angry about the one they thought was weak.
