Laharl: Wow, human beings make great slaves. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever decide to conquer the Earth.
|
|
Gordon: *huff* *gasp* This is so embarrassing. Having to bust my ass in service to that little hellion...But I did give him my promise...and I must abide by it...unless....
|
|
|
The wheels in Gordon's head: *creaaaaak* *grind*....whirrrrrrrrr! *click* Ding ding ding!
|
|
|
Gordon: That's IT... If I were to only PRETEND to keep my promise, I could trick him and get away! Yes! Gordon you are a GENIUS!
|
|
|
Laharl: Wow, human beings are complete idiots... If I ever DO decide to to conquer the Earth, I really can't see the men of that planet giving me any trouble.
|
|
Jennifer: Mornin' Harlie-chan! <3
|
|
|
Laharl: Ugh. The WOMEN of that planet, on the other hand...
|
|
|
Jennifer: I'm going to go on a picnic with Etna and Flonne. Wanna come, Harlie-chan?
|
|
|
Laharl: Only if I want to throw up everything I eat. Bleh...
|
|
|
Gordon: I'm stuck here busting my ass and YOU'RE going on a picnic?
|
|
Thursday: THURSDAY'S GOING TOO. LA LA LA.
|
|
|
Gordon: Fine! You go! I'll stay here and suffer!
|
|
|
Jennifer: Suits us! So, where we goin'?
|
|
Flonne: How about the Sea of Gehenna?
|
|
Etna: Nah, let's go to the mall instead.
|
|
|
Jennifer: Why don't we try both?
|
|
|
Etna & Flonne: S'okay!
|
|
|
Laharl: Feh. Girls. You know what they're gonna DO once they get by themselves?
|
|
|
Gordon: What?
|
|
|
Laharl: Talk trash about US, that's what! Well, I'll be damned if I'm going to let THAT happen.
|
|
|
Gordon: Right. And someone manly and strong should really be along to protect them, so...
|
|
|
Laharl: Let's hit the road...
|
|
|
Gordon: Right! (YES! I can escape while I'm on the picnic! I. Am. So. Smart. LA LA LA!)
|
|
|
Meanwhile, at EDF Headquarters...
|
|
General Carter: So it appears Gordon has failed in his mission to kill the Overlord.
|
|
Sharp-Eyed Man: That's no big surprise. He IS a putz after all. Unlike me.
|
|
|
General Carter: Do I detect a small note of professional jealousy in your voice, Kurtis? Well... in any case, his mission was just a pretext to invade the Netherworld anyway, so it doesn't matter whether he failed or not.
|
|
|
Kurtis: It matters to me. As his official anime-style rival, it is my sworn duty and eventual destiny to face him in dramatic one-on-one combat. Therefore I know he must still be alive out there...
|
|
|
Gordon: --Alive, and having the time of my life! LA LA LA!
|
|
|
Laharl: Tell me, Gordon, are all the heroes on Earth as dorky as you?
|
|
|
Flonne: He's not a dork! He's just pretending to be one so that the enemy will underestimate him!
|
|
|
Jennifer: Yeah...that's it... pretending....
|
|
|
Gordon: LA LA LA! (They don't suspect a thing!)
|
|
|
Etna: You SURE he's pretending?
|
|
|
Gordon: LA LA LA! (What a fine performance I'm giving. William Shatner, eat your heart out!)
|
|
Seraph: More cryptic banter, Mr. ????
|
|
????: Sure. Why not? But not too much. After all, we don't want the players to figure out who I am just yet...
|
|
|
Thousands of Video Game Players: Aw come on. Who are you kidding? We knew who you were five chapters ago! You're--
|
|
|
????: SHHHHHHH!! Even though we've been telegraphing this plot twist since practically the beginning of the story, we must still maintain the illusion of suspense. It's Video Game™ Law!
|
|
|
Thousands of Video Game Players: Oh brother...
|
|
|
Gordon: So, kids, anyone up for a sing-along?
|
|
|
Laharl: Kids? You DO realize we're at least a thousand years older (and a million years more mature) than you...
|
|
|
Flonne: Oh dear. And it would seem that I'M the oldest one here.
|
|
|
Jennifer: Gee, I never would've guessed.
|
|
|
Laharl: That's because you humans are hung up on looks.
|
|
|
Jennifer: The same way that YOU are hung up on MY looks, Harlie-chan? <3
|
|
|
Laharl: PLEASE let there be a sudden and dramatic plot development to deflect attention away from my none-too-subtle attempt to change the subject...
|
|
Mid-Boss: Mwa-HA madamoiselles and monseuirs! *SWOOSH* Behold! I have purloined your picnic basket!
|
|
|
Laharl: *whew*
|
|
|
Etna: Hey! Give it back!
|
|
|
Mid-Boss: Are you kidding? I haven't had a decent cooked meal in ages, seeing as how I am a widower and all.
|
|
|
Flonne: Oh. So THAT'S why you're so scrawny...
|
|
|
Gordon: Hey you! Come back here with our vittles!
|
|
|
Vyers: And I should listen to a pathetic human like yourself because...?
|
|
|
Gordon: Because I'm the Defender of Earth™ ! And because if you don't, I'll kick your anorexic ass from here to Pluto!
|
|
|
Mid-Boss: You have to catch moi first!
|
|
|
Gordon: D'oh! Just you wait! I'll make sure the only thing you eat today is a heaping helping of JUSTICE!
|
|
|
Jennifer: You know, instead of running around aimlessly like idiots, we could just have Thursday track the scent of the lunch.
|
|
|
Gordon: Sure, if we want to do things the EASY way...
|
|
|
Thursday: BEEP BEEP BLIP. FOOD WENT THATAWAY.
|
|
|
Etna: Wow. That's some robot.
|
|
|
Gordon: Well, he WAS created by Jennifer, who --believe it or not-- was a child prodigy inventing robots by the age of five, and who got her Ph.D a full 6 years before Doogie Hauser did.
|
|
|
Flonne: Wow, that's amazing, even if it DOES help perpetuate the long-held science-fiction stereotype which dictates that all female scientists must be sexy and beautiful and act subservient to their main love interest, no matter how much of a lunkhead he might be.
|
|
|
Laharl: Ain't that the truth...
|
|
|
Mid-Boss: Oh dear. Moi appears to be trapped.
|
|
|
Gordon: Allllllright, you Yogi Bear wannabe! Come back here with our pic-a-nic basket! Or else!
|
|
|
Mid-Boss: Ha! You do not scare moi! I'm smaaaarter than the average demon! And much flashier too! Behold! The Magic of the "Dark Adonis!"
|
|
|
*FLASHY LIGHT SHOW*
|
|
|
Gordon: Hey! My sidekicks and I can be excessively theatrical too! Behold, our
|
|
|
Gordon, Jennifer & Thursday: DEFENDERS OF EARTH™ DRAMATIC POSE OF JUSTICE!!!!
*FLASHHH* *TWINKLE*
|
|
|
Flonne: Hey! You can't leave us out! Laharl! Etna! Let's give him our---
|
|
|
Flonne: GUARDIANS OF LOVE DRAMATIC---
|
|
|
Laharl: Screw this...
|
|
|
Etna: Count me the hell out...
|
|
|
Flonne: ......I hate you both.
|
|
|
*BATTLE*
|
|
|
Laharl Well geez. I beat you again. What a surprise (to everyone but US.)
|
|
|
Mid-Boss: Alas, yours is a hollow victory as I have already eaten your lunch! Bye! *skedattles*
|
|
|
Laharl: So what the hell was the point of all this, anyway?
|
|
|
Gordon: I know not, but methinks we should be glad its all over. And now.... The time has come for me to leave you all and to return back from whence I came...
|
|
|
Etna: And your method for getting back there would be--?
|
|
|
The wheels in Gordon's head: *creeeeak* *grinding halt*
|
|
|
Gordon: Oh dear. Did I overlook something when I was compiling My Perfect Escape Plan?
|
|
|
Jennifer: Yes. You did.
|
|
|
Gordon: GAAAAHHHHH!!!! But I HAVE to find some way to get home! I can't bloody well be the Defender of Earth™ if I'm stuck in the Netherworld!
|
|
|
Etna: Why don't you become the Defender of the Netherworld™ ?
|
|
|
Laharl: Yeah. I could promote you. It would sure beat being my slave.
|
|
|
Gordon: GARRGGHHH!!! Must...calm down.....Find a happy place. Find a happy place. Find a happy place. Find a happy place. Find a happy place. Find a happy place. Find a happy place. Find a happy place. Find a happy place. Find a happy place...
|
|
|
Laharl: Gee. HE'S taking this well...
|
|
|
Thursday: OH WELL. SUCKS TO BE HIM.
|
|
|
Flonne: And that's how the humans came to live with us. And from then on, we were all one big happy family.
|
|
|
Gordon: Mommmmieeeeeeee!!!!!!!I wanna go hoooooome!
|
|
|
Flonne: Well... one big happy dysfunctional family, anyway...
