Charlie Reacting to Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Pt. 2)

((You guys surprisingly liked part one of this so might as well let her finish the game.))

Episode 9:

Charlie: "Oh, this looks like something straight out of a classic space ranger cartoon. And this hero guy has the voice to ma-" -!!-

Jennifer (through the screen): "Let me see Gordon... about, 5 minutes."

Charlie: "Uhh..."

Jennifer (through the screen): "Are you scared, Gordon?"

Charlie: blushes "...Humina humina humina humina humina hamina humina humina humina."

Vaggie: walks in the room "Charlie, you know I can hear you across the hall, right?"

Charlie: points at the screen "Humina humina humina humina humina."

Vaggie: ???

Jennifer (through the screen): "Tea time's over, Gordon." ^^

Charlie & Vaggie: blush "Humina humina humina humina humina humina humina humina humina humina humina."

Husk: "We got a code blue in Charlie's bedroom."

Nifty: "Yay! I finally use the hose again!"

-later-

Charlie: "Laharl, in what way is checking for potential invaders considered NOT important?"

-later-

Charlie: "How bad was that crash landing that they all got separated? I hope Gordon's okay."

Vaggie: "I'm sure he's fine."

Thursday: "UNDERSTOOD JENNIFER. ACTIVATING LIFE SCANNER."

Charlie: "Okay, great."

Vaggie: "See? They're tracking him down now."

Thursday: "ALWAYS LISTEN TO A HOT BABE. THAT'S THE LAW."

Charlie: "We, he's not wrong. I listen to you all the time."

Vaggie: -!!- "Uh..."

Charlie: "What's wrong?"

Vaggie: "Nothing. I think this is the first time I've been called that and... I don't mind it."

Charlie: "Hehe..."

Vaggie: "Gotta say, this is the prettiest graveyard I've ever seen."

Charlie: "I know, right? We could go on a stargazing date here."

-later-

Jennifer (through the screen): "I heard from headquarters that the Netherworld is filled with nasty, vicious creatures. If we're discovered... Ahh! I'll be molested by countless slimy tentacles and my bodily fluids will be sucked dry! Or we could be swallowed whole and suffered a slow and painful death as we're digested alive!"

Angel Dust: "Hang on, how did Valentino's movies make their way to the human world?!"

Charlie: "That is a very good and VERY disturbing question."

-later-

Jennifer (through the screen): "You see, as girls mature, we get bigger breasts, and boys-"

Etna (through the screen): "Great, and now she's teaching sex ed. Who is this lady?"

Charlie: "I don't know what's worse, the fact that she's teaching it to the overlord of the Netherworld or that it's less awkward then when my dad tried to teach it to me."

Alastor: "I bet he attached a dildo and flesh light to a couple of rubber ducks."

Charlie: "How did you know?"

Alastor: "Wait, I was joking. You mean he actually-"

Charlie: "I wasn't able to see rubber ducks normally again until I became an adult..."

Alastor: "...Oh Vaggie! Charlie is in need of some mental stability."

-later-

Laharl (through the screen): "Woman, follow me! I shall find your hero! But I don't want that sexy body of yours within a 3-foot radius of me!"

Vaggie: "I'd gladly stay within 3 feet of her."

Charlie: "Vaggie..."

Vaggie: "What? You saying you wouldn't?"

Charlie: "Of course not. We can't hug each other if we're all 3 feet apart."

Husk: "Do I have to call code blue again?"

-later-

Gordon (through the screen): "What a landing. I guess Lady Luck is taking a vacation."

Charlie: "I think lady luck has a restraining order against me."

Husk: "She's got a restraining order against someone in this building alright!"

-later-

Flonne (through the screen): "At this rate, a war might erupt between the Netherworld and Human World. We must prevent that!"

Etna (through the screen): "Huh? Why? It'll be fun!"

Alastor: "I'm with Etna. After our bout with the angels, it would be interesting to see how much the humans they claim to protect could handle."

Charlie: "Alastor!"

Alastor: "What? I was referring to the humans in the game. Of course we can't have a war here. We just rebuilt the hotel."

-later-

Laharl (through the screen): "Listen, Defender of Earth, if you defeat me, I promise not to invade your planet. But if I win, then you agree to stay here in the Netherworld and become my vassal. How about it?"

Charlie: "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!"

Gordon: "Fine! A hero never backs down from a fight!"

Charlie: "SON OF A BIIIIIIIII-"

-later-

Charlie: "And so we have another unfortunate victim of the devil's binding contract. Ugh, I'm already dreading what he's going to make him do!"

Alastor: "Probably not much. After all, the overlord is still a mere child and became nicer in recent episodes. It wouldn't surprise me if he just have him do menial chores all day."

Charlie: "Well, I guess we'll have to wait and see."

Episode 10:

Charlie: "Looks like Alastor is right after all. Gordon's just doing chores around the castle. I still don't like him being bound to this deal, but I guess it could be a lot wor- wait, what's this about a picnic? They have a tourist spot? They have a souvenier shop?!"

Angel Dust: "Think they sell limited edition sex toys?"

-later-

Gordon (through the screen): (Here's my chance! I'll sneak off and escape during the picnic.)

Everyone in the Hotel: "That's not going to work!"

-later-

Carter (through the screen): "Their mission ended the moment they entered the Netherworld. Slaying the Overlord was just a pretext."

Kurtis (through the screen): "They're nothing but pawns to you, huh?"

Carter (through the screen): "What an ugly way of saying it. I prefer to call them "The heroes who sacrificed their lives for the earth!"

Charlie: "He sent Earth's heroes on a suicide mission?! This guy's worse than Adam!"

-later-

Gordon (through the screen): "The sky is blue, the weather is perfect! Come on, let's sing!"

Charlie: "It's a happy day in Hell!"

Angel Dust: "Really?"

Charlie: "Couldn't resist."

Laharl (through the screen): "I'm not a kid! I'm 1313 years old, and mentally, I'm much more mature than you too!"

Etna (through the screen): "Mature? I think you two are about the same. FYI, I'm 1470."

Flonne (through the screen): "I'm... fairly young."

Laharl (through the screen): "You're an angel, right? Tell the truth."

Flonne (through the screen): "One thousand... five hundred and nine?"

Etna (through the screen): "Wait, YOU'RE older than me?!"

Laharl (through the screen): "Hahahahaha! You old hag!"

Charlie: "You kidding? If Flonne's considered old, than I'm ancient."

Husk: "You're only 700 years older than her as of this game."

Charlie: "My point exa- wait what do you mean as of this game?"

Husk: "..." Looks behind him.

Alastor: smiles and waves

Husk: peace out fade out.

-later-

Laharl (through the screen): "That's why humans act so foolishly. They judge solely on looks."

Jennifer (through the screen): "Ooh, you talk big. Then you wouldn't mind my body, right?"

Charlie: "I-I don't mind it at all. What about you, Vaggie?" Munches on popcorn while staring intently

Vaggie: "Nope. I could stare all day if I want to." Munches on popcorn while staring intently.

Charlie: "That's a great idea. Let's just do that for the day. We got nothing planned."

Vaggie: "I'm down."

Suddenly a water bomb explodes, soaking Charlie and Vaggie

Charlie: "Aaah! Alastor!"

Alastor: "What? It was a code blue and Nifty's on break."

-later-

Charlie: "It's Yogi Vyers! The Dark Adonis! Be careful Gordon, getting that picnic basket back won't be easy. He's far smarter than your average mid-boss."

-later-

Gordon (through the screen): "Jennifer is a child prodigy who created Thursday at the age of 5 and earned a Ph. D. by the age of 10. Without her help, we never would have understood the secrets of the pyramids or solve the case of Jack the Ripper!"

Etna (through the screen): "So why are you bragging?"

Charlie: "There's nothing wrong with celebrating your companions' achievements. In fact, you should make them feel proud of all the positive things they've done. It's a great way to boost their self confidence! Like just the other day when Vaggie solved a 2,000 piece puzzle in less than an hour."

Vaggie: "I don't think that's as impressive as getting multiple college degrees by the age of 10."

Charlie: "Maybe, but that doesn't mean that wasn't noteworthy on its own. Don't let the talents of other people distract you from all the great things you pulled off. At the end of the day, the only person you really need to impress is yourself."

Vaggie: "Charlie..."

-later-

Vyers (through the screen): "My my, what a gluttonous bunch you are, following moi all this way."

Laharl & Lucifer: "Look who's talking!"

Vyers (through the screen): "You are going to get hurt if you think I am your average picnic basket thief!"

Charlie: "I made that joke earlier..."

Vyers (through the screen): "Behold the elegant techniques of the Dark Adonis!" shines bright

Husk: "Shit! My eyes!"

Angel Dust: "How the hell is he so bright?!"

Alastor: "I thought this was only a Morningstar trait!"

Charlie: "Dad never told me about this!"

Lucifer: walks in the room. "What are you talking abo- Ahh! Who's reflecting Dad's light off of a bald person's head in this room?!"

-later-

Vyers (through the screen): "Haaahahaha! Unfortunately for you, I have already consumed the contents!"

Charlie: "Did he eat ALL the food while they were fighting?!"

Vaggie: "And he called them gluttonous?"

Charlie: "I want to cry! They spent all morning making that lunch for their little trip too!"

Gordon (through the screen): (Now if I can just return to Earth and act like nothing ever happened...)

Vaggie & Etna: "And how do you plan on getting out of here?"

Gordon (through the screen): "Hmm?! NOOOOO! Now that you mention it, our spaceship is in pieces! We have no way of going home!"

Vaggie: "Not at all what I was getting at, but sure."

Laharl (through the screen): "Too bad, Gordon! Your fate is to be my vassal!"

Charlie: "Those tears are getting a lot closer now..."

Flonne (through the screen): "Why don't you change from Defender of Earth to Defender of the Netherworld?"

Jennifer (through the screen): "Come on, Gordon. Our duty is to safeguard peace whether if it's the Earth or any other planet."

Gordon (through the screen): "Hmm... but that title doesn't sound right."

Laharl (through the screen): "Fine, I'll give you a title! I, King Laharl, hereby dub thee, "Slayer of the Netherworld"!"

Luficer: "Ooh, I like that title. I think I'll name my right hand demon that."

Alastor: "You have a right hand demon?"

Lucifer: "No, but I'm thinking about getting one, now."

Angel Dust: "In that case, maybe Alastor could-"

Alastor & Lucifer: "Not a chance!"

Angel Dust: "It was just a thought."

Charlie: "Wait, Laharl just promoted Gordon from a vassal. Does that mean their contract is no longer binding?"

Alastor, Angel Dust, & Husk: "..."

Husk: "No... no, it can't be that damn easy... could it?"

Alastor: "Don't look at me."

Episode 11:

Charlie: "Wait, why is securing the Netherworld important for saving Earth?"

Everyone except Nifty: "Stealing the resources."

Charlie: "I'm guessing it has something to do with all the pollution."

Alastor: "From what I gather lately, it's getting quite difficult to tell the difference between breathing on Earth compared to down here in Hell."

Husk: "If that's not a clear sign that everything's fucked up, I don't know what is."

Charlie: "Yeah, but just like with the angel's invasions from heaven, this isn't going to solve anything in the long run."

Vaggie: "Hey Charlie, funny you should mention that."

Charlie: "Why?"

Vulcanus (through the screen): "That's good to know. I'm counting on you." leaves

Charlie: "VULCANUS!!! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!!!"

-later-

Jennifer (through the screen): "Gordon, do you think the EDF would come to rescue us?"

Gordon (through the screen): "Of course I do! I have faith in them!"

Jennifer (through the screen): "..."

Vaggie: "That pause... don't tell me she knows about their secret plans."

Charlie: "Was it like this for you when you hid your status as an angel from me?"

Vaggie: "Pretty much. I was always afraid of how you'd react if you ever found out the truth. I wanted to tell you at some point, but the closer we got together, the more that fear began to grow deep inside. It wasn't until it was too late that I realize that keeping that secret at all was worse than telling you outright."

Charlie: "I'll admit, I was pretty hurt when I first found out, mainly because of how I found out. It just seemed like despite everything we've been through together, you didn't trust me enough with something so big. I was worried that at some point you stopped liking me or that you never liked me to begin with, but looking back again, I realized that it couldn't be further from the truth. You were just afraid of hurting me, and of course I can forgive you for that. After all, isn't seeking redemption the point of this hotel?"

Vaggie: "Charlie... you really are too nice for your own good."

Charlie: "Maybe, but I know you love me for it."

Vaggie: "True."

Alastor: "I hate to interrupt your little moment together, but in case you didn't notice, our little overlord friend has received a challenge from the Defender of Earth."

Charlie & Vaggie: "Wait, what challenge?"

-later...-

Charlie: "Thursday, no!"

Alastor: "Well, so much for invincibility. One good whack and it's already short circuiting."

Charlie: "Now's NOT the time, Alastor!"

Vaggie: "Just who is that guy, anyway?"

Don Joaquin (through the screen): "Me? I'm Don Joaquin, the Original Defender of Earth."

Gordon, Charlie, Alastor, & Lucifer: "The Original Defender of Earth?"

Jennifer (through the screen): "It may be true. My father used to tell me about him. Hundreds of years ago, the first defender left to the Netherworld to vanquish the Overlord and never returned."

Laharl (through the screen): "That's probably his soul. He probably couldn't rest in peace until he defeated the overlord, so his soul remained behind."

Lucifer: "Really makes you wonder what Krichevskoy has been doing all this time to not notice a human coming here trying to fight him."

Alastor: "Honestly. Had he chosen to fight me, I would have given him the fight of his life in a jiffy. Or rather the fight of his afterlife in this case."

Husk: "You hardly ever pay attention to the Vs half the time."

Alastor: "The who?"

Lucifer: "Kinda proving his point there, eh bus boy? Now if he REALLY wanted a heroic battle, you can't get any better than the ruler of Hell itself, can you?"

Alastor: "Ah yes, I'm certain the constant threat of dodging exploding rubber ducks is sure to send shivers down any noteworthy hero's spine."

Lucifer: "Those exploding rubber ducks are for parties only!"

Charlie: "I think what's important here is that Laharl now has the opportunity to catch this blip that somehow went under his dad's radar for who knows how long."

Vaggie: "Now that I think about it, you sure neither of you don't already have warriors of some kind trying to challenge you for a fight?"

Lucifer & Alastor: "..."

Lucifer: "I... might need to check my mailbox."

Alastor: "I should ask Rosie if she has devoured any heroes lately."

-later-

Flonne (through the screen): "Next time we run into him, let's lose on purpose. That way, he'll finally be satisfied and his spirit will ascend to heaven!"

Laharl (through the screen): "Don't be ridiculous! I have a duty to fulfill too! I can't lose on purpose!"

Charlie: "I know this is going to sound crazy but... for once I'm siding with Laharl."

Angel Dust: "Oh shit, I thought I felt the temperature drop a little."

Nifty: "Is eternal winter finally upon us?!"

Vaggie: "No, Angel Dust is just joking around."

Nifty: "Aww, I wanted to stab some snow angels."

Charlie: "Hear me out. As much as I like the idea of doing a huge dramatic acting routine for him, this is a seasoned veteran hero we're talking about here. I don't think anything shorter than the authentic fighting experience will cut it for him. If there's an off chance he discovers that he's not being taken seriously as a hero fighting for his duty, his soul may never find peace."

Vaggie: "As a bit of a veteran myself, I agree. When you've been through enough fights, it becomes easier to tell if someone's toying with you compared to someone putting in their all to take you down. Win or lose, the point is he needs to understand that he has done everything he can to fulfill his role."

Husk: "You mean we're actually gonna root for this kid overlord to thrash him?"

Charlie: "If it means helping that hero's soul ascend, then absolutely."

Angel Dust: "A little messed up, but hey. At least he ain't shafted down there because of a contract."

-later-

Jennifer (through the screen): "You heard what I said, didn't you? Your memory could be wiped."

Thursday (through the screen): "BE...EP... THURSDAY FIGHT ANYWAY. EVEN THOUGH THURSDAY ROBOT, GORDON AND JENNIFER CALL THURSDAY FRIEND. THURSDAY HAPPY. THURSDAY WANT TO SHOW GRATITUDE. LOSE MEMORY, VERY SAD... BUT BEING USELESS EVEN MORE SAD... THAT IS WHY THURSDAY FIGHT ALONGSIDE YOU UNTIL VERY END..."

Charlie: "Dad... do robots have souls?"

Lucifer: "That's something we're gonna have to ask your grandfather."

Charlie: "But I've never met Grandpa."

Lucifer: "I know..."

-later-

Don Joaquin (through the screen): "Now, we shall settle this at last!"

Laharl (through the screen): "That we will! King Laharl runs from no one! Come on!"

Flonne (through the screen): "Laharl, wait! You're not actually going to fight him, are you?"

Charlie: "Flonne, I completely understand where you're coming from, I really do, but you have to trust Laharl this time. This may be the only way he'll find peace."

-later-

Flonne (through the screen): "You've let me down, Laharl! You're the worst-"

Don Joaquin (through the screen): "It's okay little girl, I'm satisfied now. It may be hard for you to understand, but we heroes live and die a certain way. I was once known as the Defender of Earth, but I grew old and died, and have since existed as a mere soul... How pathetic I felt. But at long last, I was able to fight again as Defender of Earth! I wasn't able to win, but I have no regrets. It's thanks to this kid overlord, because he fought me with all his might."

Husk: "Well would you look at that? You were right on the money, Charlie."

Charlie: "Thanks, but what's important is that his spirit can finally move on. I'm sure his loved ones have been waiting a long time to see him."

Thursday: short circuts

Charlie: "Oh no, I forgot about Thursday! Stay with us buddy!"

Thursday (through the screen): "DID... THURSDAY... SERVE... HIS... PURPOSE?"

Gordon & Charlie: "Yes! Of course you did, Thursday! We/You three are the Defenders of Earth, so don't give up Thursday!"

Thursday (through the screen): "THANK GOODNESS. THANK YOU... FOR... ALL... THE... MEM...OR...EIS...PSHHHHHHHHHH..."

Charlie: "Thursday, no! THURSDAY!!!"

Husk: "Well, he ain't dead. He just lost his me-"

Angel Dust: "Don't ruin the moment, pussycat."

Vaggie: pats Charlie crying in her arms. "That's it, let it all out."

Charlie: "He was a true friend to the end, Vaggie..."

Vaggie: "He sure was, Charlie. Oh hey look, Don Joaquin used the last of his strength to restore Thursday's memories before going to heaven."

Charlie: "REALLY?!"

Husk: "What was that about ruining the moment?"

Angel Dust: "How the hell was I supposed to see that coming?!"

Husk: "Funny, I thought you of all people would be used to seeing a lot of things coming by now."

Angel Dust: "Sad part is, I don't know whether to feel insulted or proud of that."

Episode 12:

Charlie: "So an Earthquake in the Netherworld acts like a warning sign to an upcoming disaster?"

Lucifer: "I heard that's how hail works in some places in the human world."

Vaggie: "Aren't earthquakes themselves natural disasters? How is one disaster used as a warning for another?"

Alastor: "Clearly you've never experienced a tsunami before."

-later-

Gordon (through the screen): "All the kids love me! I have my own comic series and saturday morning cartoon!"

Charlie: "I knew it!"

Jennifer (through the screen): "Gordon, we've been used. Their true purpose was to secure a route to the Netherworld..."

Vaggie: "So she really did know the whole time."

Alastor: "Seems the hero is choosing not to believe her through, despite the evidence right in front of his eyes."

Charlie: "Maybe he just has a lot of faith in the people of earth as their acting he-"

Gordon (through the screen): "I'm shocked and disappointed in you, Jennifer. I hereby dismiss you from your duties as my assistant."

Charlie: "Okay, that's too far!"

-later-

Carter (through the screen): "With your help, we were able to make it to the Netherworld unchallenged. I thank you, Defenders of Earth! Hahahaha!"

Gordon (through the screen): "Oh my god! We were being used?!"

Everyone in the hotel: "No shit!"

Jennifer (through the screen): "..."

Gordon (through the screen): "J, Jennifer...?"

Etna (through the screen): "She's probably upset you believed them instead of her."

Vaggie & Angel Dust: "Again, no shit."

Flonne & Charlie: "Poor Miss Jennifer..."

-later-

Flonne & Charlie: "Cool! The rival has made his appearance!"

Etna & Vaggie: "Yeah, yeah. Calm down."

Kurtis (through the screen): "My goal was to defeat you, Gordon, but it seems I overestimated you. Look at the facts, not only did you fail your mission, but you also became the overlord's vassal. I'm embarrassed to call you my rival."

Husk: "They're acting like taking down an overlord is some small feat."

Alastor: "They're seasoned heroes, Husk. In their eyes, it might be at this point."

Lucifer: "Did you just admit that Gordon could fuck you?"

Alastor: "One, the correct term is "fuck you up". If you wish to insult me, do it properly, and 2, let's not get crazy."

-later-

Charlie: "Vulcanus! Seems like he sent the humans here to take each other out as well as Laharl and Flonne, but why?"

Vulcanus (through the screen): "All that remains is that spineless Seraph! Once I get rid of him, I'll be the one and only! Angels! Demons! Humans! I'll be the God of them all!"

Charlie: "He..."

Vaggie: "He..."

Charlie & Vaggie: "He's plotting a coup against Celestia!"

Alastor: sips some tea. "This tea would be a lot more pipping if it wasn't just a game."

Angel Dust: "Even if it wasn't how would that affect us?"

Lucifer: "Considering he's planning to take my Dad's throne and his extreme bias towards demons, my guess would be a lot and VERY negatively."

Vaggie: "Just imagine how bad those demon hunts would be if someone like that had any authority over it. He probably won't stop at a few of us once a year. He'd issue a mass genocide!"

Angel Dust: "...Good point. We'd be fucked more than me on a casual Monday at work."

Charlie: "I hope they catch on and find a way to stop him."

-later-

Jennifer (through the screen): "It's all my fault... I could've stopped them, but I didn't. I knew what was happening, but I kept denying it. If only I was stronger..."

Vaggie: "It's not too late, Jennifer. You can still fix it and help stop the war. If you give up now, you'll never forgive yourself for it later."

Charlie: "Vaggie..."

-later-

Gordon & Jennifer (through the screen): "The space battleship, Gargantua!"

Charlie: "Oh... my..."

Husk: "That's a huge bitch!"

Angel Dust: "Sir Pentus would be crying tears of joy if he saw this."

Kurtis (through the screen): "Your father awaits you Jennifer. Come with me."

Gordon (through the screen): "Father? I thought her parents passed away when she was a child."

Kurtis (through the screen): "You didn't know? Jennifer is Carter's foster child."

Charlie, Angel Dust, Vaggie, Lucifer, & Gordon: "WHAT?!!!"

Alastor: "Ooh, and the tea keeps coming and coming. I might have to invite Rosie at this point."

Nifty: "We don't have any cannibal snacks."

Alastor: "I'm certain she'd bring her own, young one."

Jennifer (through the screen): "It's true. I was adopted by Carter and raised as his child. He was a kind man. I always believed that he loved me... but that couldn't be further from the truth. He raised me only so he could use me..."

Angel Dust: "That bastard indoctrinated her! It's like he snubbed her soul right from under her without realizing it before it was too late."

Husk: "I heard of cult leaders and pimps pulling this shit all the time, but a military general? And to his own kid? That's a point so fucking low I'd NEVER thought I'd hear anyone steep."

Lucifer: "...Charlie?"

Charlie: "Yeah?"

Lucifer: "...I love you."

Charlie: "...I love you too, dad."

Episode 13:

Charlie: "That voice... Is that... Vyers?"

Vaggie: "Now that you mention it, it does sound like him. But how did he get in Celestia? Did Lamington sneak him in?"

Charlie: "He did sneak up on Lamington a few chapters ago without him noticing so I don't think that's it. Maybe he's a fallen angel like us."

Lucifer: "If that's the case, he shouldn't be able to go in and out so casually unless he has some special permission from my old man."

Vaggie: "Is Lamington the only Seraph in Celestia? If he is, he might have gotten permission from him from behind the scenes."

Charlie: "It still begs the question, what exactly are they planning together? And why did they need Flonne to meet Laharl specifically for it?"

Alastor: "No sense in pondering over it too much. I'm certain all will be revealed as we keep watching."

Charlie: "I guess so..."

-later-

Etna (through the screen): "I'm surprised you can find the coordinates to the ship."

Gordon (through the screen): "Well it seems that Jennifer already programmed them in..."

Flonne (through the screen): "Did she expect this to happen?"

Gordon (through the screen): "I guess so, but she must have wanted to give her father the benefit of the doubt. That's probably why she didn't tell me."

Angel Dust & Vaggie: "It's EXACTLY why she didn't tell you."

Angel Dust: "Carter had her around his finger for years. Who knows what she was doing just to feel like she got her daddy's approval."

Vaggie: "And she was probably too afraid to see how Gordon would react if they knew the truth about their relationship, knowing how proud he is of his job. It wouldn't surprise me if her adventures with him and Thursday was her version of escaping reality."

Charlie: "Well now's the time to win her back and set everything straight! There's no way they're gonna let Carter have his way with everything, right?"

Vaggie: "You're acting like we're part of the action, Charlie."

Alastor: "I certainly wish I was at this point. Destroying a large space armada sounds like a wonderful time right now to get the bones loose."

-later-

Carter (through the screen): "This is a nightmare! Our entire 2 million ship armada is being wiped out by a single demon?! Impossible!"

Alastor: "I know right? Save some for the rest of us."

Charlie: "It's crazy how little effort he's putting into it though. Just how strong is he?"

Husk: "If the fact that he survived being poisoned for over 2 years and taking a dip into lava without so much as a burn isn't enough to convince you he's broken, I don't know what to tell ya."

Lucifer: "Wait, when did he break a body part?"

Charlie: "Not that broken, Dad."

Etna (through the screen): "You really pay attention to the details, making sure they all escape before blowing up their ships."

Angel Dust: "He pulled that off without killing anybody?!"

Charlie: "The little overlord really is growing!"

-later-

Gordon (through the screen): "That's the Astro Canon! The EDF's ultimate weapon! Demon or angel, you won't escape a shot unscathed!"

Alastor & Lucifer: "Is that a challenge?"

Vaggie: "How did I know you two would say that?"

-later-

Jennifer (through the screen): "Stop it Kurtis! You call yourself, human?!"

Kurtis (through the screen): "Do I? I lost 70% of my body and something more important in an incident... Maybe I lost my sense of humanity at that time too..."

Vaggie: "70% of his body?! How is he alive?!"

Angel Dust: "Technology in the Human World must be crazy."

Husk: "And yet they can't think of anything to stop pollution."

Alastor: "So says the cigar smoking feline."

Husk: "Trust me, these joints are minor compared to your average plant."

-later-

Gordon (through the screen): "That's right. Kurtis is a brilliant scientist, rivaling even Jennifer!"

Vaggie: "I bet he's an average fighter though."

Charlie: "Pfft!"

Angel Dust: "You too?"

Vaggie: "It felt like a requirement."

Lucifer: "I don't get it."

Alastor: "Surprising no one."

Lucifer: "I bet you didn't get it either."

Alastor: "And how confident are you in that wager?"

Charlie: "Dad, NO!!!"

-later-

Gordon (through the screen): "Could that scream be? Nooooo! He's attempting to modify Jennifer!"

Laharl & Alastor: "He's attempting..."

Etna & Vaggie: "To modify..."

Flonne & Charlie: "Miss Jennifer?"

Laharl, Etna, Flonne, Alastor, Vaggie, & Charlie:

Husk: "Ain't no damn way all of you are thinking of the exact same thing right now."

Angel Dust: "I honestly expected this from Nifty more than anyone else."

-later-

Gordon, Angel Dust, & Vaggie: "Carter!"

Carter (through the screen): "Hahahahaha! You're being a sore loser, Gordon!"

Alastor: "Remind me again who lost an entire armada to a single overlord?"

Carter (through the screen): "As you know, the Earth is facing a serious crisis. The boom in population, the rise in crime, the shortage of natural resources... the human race can't survive much longer."

Everyone except Charlie: "Called it."

Laharl (through the screen): "There wouldn't be a crisis in the first place if you humans weren't so stupid. As the Overlord of the Netherworld, let me say one thing..."

Laharl & Husk: "Clean up your own damn, mess!"

Gordon (through the screen): "I have something to add to that. Carter, I am beyond angry! Give back my Jennifer, Chrome Dome!"

Charlie & Vaggie: "YOUR Jennifer?"

Angel Dust: "Glad to know that thirst didn't go away yet."

Lucifer: "Should I get Nifty to bring some water?"

Alastor: "She's going to need more than she can carry to quench these two."

-later-

Kurtis (through the screen): "It's been 5 years since I lost my wife and daughter, and with them, my soul. Back then, I was a top scientist, burning with a passion to save the earth. If it weren't for that fateful incident... As a result from the lab's explosion, I lost my family and 70% of my body. A group of anti-space development terrorists were to blame. You caught the culprits, but that good would that be to me?! I swore to my wife and child, since the Defender of Earth couldn't do his job, I would take his place! What good is the Defender of Earth if he can't save innocent people?! A true defender would do anything in his power to save as many people as possible! I can't accept anything less!"

Charlie: "But it wasn't Gordon's fault! He's only one person! He can't be everywhere at once! Even my dad struggles with that."

Lucifer: "It's really hard pulling that off without being called creepy and not in a good way."

Charlie: "Gordon has a good heart and I'm sure he came as fast as he could the moment he heard trouble. I'm sure he feels guilty for not saving everyone from that incident, but no one's perfect. I mean look at me, I gave people hope that I could convince the angels to stop their attacks only to provoke them into destroying our hotel and killing one of our residents. But it's not going to stop me from trying to find a way to improve. And I know I can as long as I got good people helping me."

Husk: "Not sure we could be called "good people", but we got your back, princess."

Angel Dust: "We've been through too much for it not being the case."

Alastor: "You're not simply referring to Vaggie's trust exercise, are you?"

Angel Dust: "No, but it did help."

Vaggie: "Wait, how did you know about that? You weren't there for it."

Alastor: "Sir Pentous told me about it."

-later-

Kurtis (through the screen): "The overlord's vassal... that doesn't sound too bad..."

Lucifer: "Wait, didn't he make fun of Gordon for being Laharl's vassal earlier?"

Husk: "The defender's spirit must be one hell of a drug."

-later-

Jennifer (through the screen): "..."

Gordon (through the screen): "Jennifer!"

Flonne & Alastor: "Hey! You call THIS a modification?!"

Alastor: "Talk about lack of creativity."

Husk: "Is that really important right now?"

Alastor: "Was that a serious, fucking question, Husk?"

Carter (through the screen): "So you found out about it, eh? That's right. I installed a neural override device and Jennifer is now my puppet."

Lucifer: "The hell kind of a father are you?! I'm the ruler of hell and I'm beyond disgusted!"

-later-

Carter (through the screen): "Jennifer is a master of the ancient martial art, Kung Fu!"

Gordon (through the screen): "What?! I never knew that!"

Carter (through the screen): "You never asked."

Everyone in the hotel: immediate facepalm.

-later-

Vaggie: "How did Kurtis heal so quickly?! Did he have a med kit on him?"

Husk: "Wouldn't surprise me if he did."

Charlie: "What's important is that he's here to help save the day!"

Kurtis (through the screen): "I used to look up to you Gordon. You were the reason I became a scientist in the first place. Funny, isn't it? How did things turned out like this? If only I realized it sooner... no, what's important is that I realized it in the end. I bet they're smiling down on me from heaven."

Charlie: "I know they are Kurtis! I bet they're cheering you on right now as their hero!"

-later-

Carter (through the screen): "Curse you all! I'll just blow you all up and Jennifer too!"

Lucifer: "Okay, are we 100% sure that this General Carter human doesn't exist?"

Alastor: "Well, the odds are never 0. Why do you ask?"

Angel Dust: "We just want to talk to him."

Charlie: "Any reason you're passing a gun over to my dad right now?"

Lucifer: "We just want to talk to him."

Charlie: "But-"

Angel Dust & Lucifer: "We just want to talk to him!"

-later-

Kurtis (through the screen): "Jennifer! I can't let you die here!" self destructs!

Charlie & Gordon: "KURTIIIIIIIS!!!"

Kurtis (through the screen): "Do you think I could ever be a true Defender of Earth?"

Charlie & Gordon: "Of course! You ARE a true Defender of Earth!"

Kurtis (through the screen): "Thank you, Gordon... I won't forget the... defender's spirit you showed me..."

Laharl (through the screen): "Heed my words, Death. I command you in the name of King Laharl. Lead the soul of Kurtis, Defender of Earth, to his family's side..."

Charlie & Flonne: "Laharl..."

Alastor: "I'll admit, a well deserved end for a hero such as him. He has earned my respect."

Husk: "Yeah. Went out with a bang to make up for what he did. I can drink to that."

Vaggie: "I think we can all drink to that honestly."

-later-

Gordon (through the screen): "Jennifer, you are no longer my assistant! Fight alongside me as an equal! As a Defender of Earth!"

Jennifer (through the screen): "I understand. Let's forget about the past and focus on the present!"

Angel Dust & Vaggie: "Yes! Yes!"

Carter (through the screen): "W, Wait, Jennifer! I'm your father! Have you forgotten everything I've done for you?!"

Angel Dust: "Don't fall for it, Jennifer! I swear!"

Carter (through the screen): "No, I haven't. If you haven't taken me in back then, I would not be here today. I loved you and believed in you... But we were never a true family to begin with! You raised me only so you could manipulate me! I'll never call you "father" again! Prepare yourself, Carter!"

Angel Dust, Charlie, Vaggie, & Lucifer: "ATTA GIRL!!!"

Husk: "She beat her indoctrination. Gonna be drinking good tonight!"

Alastor: "Don't celebrate too soon. Did you forget who was pulling the strings of this operation?"

-Angels appear to help Carter-

Husk & Charlie: "Ah fuck..."

Flonne (through the screen): "The Celestial host?! Why?! Why are angels helping him?!"

Vaggie: "Not really a surprise, honestly."

-later-

Vyers (through the screen): "Now answer, who is behind this?"

Carter (through the screen): "I-I can't..."

Vyers (through the screen): "If you do not say, I will kill you."

Carter (through the screen): "I-It was a man with white wings! I'm innocent! I'm just trying to save the Earth!"

Vyers & Alastor: "Foolish human, you cannot save the Earth. How can you expect to save all of mankind if you cannot save your own daughter? You have sacrificed the lives of others to satisfy your own ego. Until you realize that, you will be plagued by nightmares. We will be watching you..."

Carter: "..."

Alastor: Looks dead at Lucifer. "And that, ladies, gentlemen, and that technical rainbow in between, is how it's done."

Lucifer: glares at Alastor. "..."

-later-

Flonne (through the screen): "..."

Laharl (through the screen): "Flonne...?"

Flonne (through the screen): "I'm going back to Celestia."

Laharl, Charlie, Vaggie, & Lucifer: "WHAT?!!"

Sentencing Disgaea Antagonists for Their Crimes

((Yup, we're doing another WickedBinge skit here. To be fair, WickedBinge isn't the only Youtube Channel doing this, people like Mousait have also thrown their hat in this ring. This is just another case of me deciding "...eh. Why not?". Just so we're clear, I'm only going to be looking at the more antagonistic characters in the games for now. I might do the major characters another time if you want to see it, but if I do it all in one sitting, we're going to be here all day and I already promised to make the next chapter of my Smashverse main story.

Before we start, I want to heavily emphasize something. I am NOT a lawyer of any kind. At most I have some legal experience from taking a class back in high school years ago. Please take everything you read here with a grain of salt. This is just for fun and is not for educational purposes. I already know that I'm likely going to be wrong in at least a few of these and if that ends up being the case, don't be afraid to point out my mistakes. Okay? Good. Now, on to the first character.

Case 1: Lamington. Why am I having the first final boss in the series as the first case? Well that's mainly because as I said multiple times before, it's hard to really consider him the antagonist of the story even though he's the final boss. Vulcanus fits that role more perfectly as we'll go over later. Plus it's been hinted at that he's actually Christo in Disgaea 5 so he'll be the only main character I'll be looking at today. As such, we'll also be looking at his actions in Disgaea 5 as well. Right off the bat, he could be accused of planning 2 regicides. I am of course talking about him sending Flonne to the Netherworld to assassinate Krichveskoy as well as being tasked with assassinating Void Dark by his superiors. However, it's difficult to say if he'll be held accountable for them. In Void Dark's case, he's not the mastermind as he has been legally tasked by the higher ups of Celestia themselves as he was accused of being a spy for Void, so if anything, they'll be the ones ultimately charged for his death if he went through with it. Especially when you remember that he was falsely accused of being a spy. Not to mention, Void's takeover of practically the universe is highly illegal anyway. As for the assassination of Krichevskoy, while it is true that he ordered Flonne to perform this action, the true purpose behind it was to get her to start interacting with the king's son, Laharl. Not to mention, the man in question has been declared dead for over 2 years at that point, and Lamington knew this when he gave the order to Flonne. But most importantly, he planned this whole thing out with none other than Overlord Krichevskoy himself, likely before the time of his passing as Laharl was struggling with the death of his mother, which is why he needed Flonne to start interacting with him. So yeah, it's highly unlikely he'll be found guilty for either of these. At most, he would be held responsible for Flonne's trespassing on Laharl's castle the first night she entered the Netherworld, but only the first night since Laharl welcomed her inside from that point forward. But those aren't the only charges. There's also sending Angels to aid the EDF's invasion of the Netherworld as well as sending angels to execute Flonne for accusing her of treason without a fair trial. While I can probably understand that he might be blamed for this, after all, Laharl and co thought the same thing when they were on their way to meet him, but it's once again doubtful that he would be convicted of this, as both of those orders came from Vulcanus who were pulling strings behind Lamington's back. He even sent Vyers in order to investigate the matter once he found out that something suspicious might be going on behind the scenes during Flonne's stay in the Netherworld. He even directly ordered Vulcanus to capture Flonne and others unharmed when they entered Celestia, but Vulcanus disobeyed. So yeah, those charges would also get tossed out the window. One thing he would be charged with is punishing Flonne for harming angels without a fair trial. Not only did Flonne return to Celestia under peaceful reasons as she only wanted ask Lamington a question, but almost every angel she harmed was under self defense due to Vulcanus's actions, the only exception being the three that were guarding the entrance to the Seraphic Sanctuary. Even then, there wasn't really much lasting harm that came about this as Flonne is able to become an angel again in later games and it's unlikely that Flonne would actually press charges against Lamington for this anyway.

Lamington's Sentence: Ultimately, Lamington has proven to do much more good than harm and would only be sentenced with some community service and maybe a small fine due to Flonne's initial tresspassing.

Case 2: Vyers. Even though this is actually King Krichevskoy, he was officially declared dead, so I'll only be looking at his actions as Vyers, which is a good thing otherwise he would be charged with the death penalty for slicing a planet in half after his wife's passing, which is of course, omnicide. Naturally, he would be accused of multiple accounts of assaulting Laharl and co throughout the events of Disgaea 1. The first time they fought would ultimately be exempt as Laharl broke into his home and took off of his possessions, so that would count as self defense on his part. Same goes the fight in "Laharl's Challenge" in the Heart of Evil as Laharl himself have purposely invited everyone to face him off for the title of the throne. Their second fight however, is where things start to get a little murky as Laharl and co only attacked him to get Flonne's pendant back. While Vyers himself never initially stole the pendant, he did refuse to return it to Flonne even after finding out that she was the original owner, so that would still count as minor theft. Same goes for when he took off with the group's picnic basket and ate their lunch. Their final battle in Celestia is the most tricky as he only fought them to help them prepare for what will happen later on, plus he won't be charged with trespassing into Celestia, since he has permission from Lamington to come and go as he please.

Vyers's sentence: With all this in mind, I'll only give him a few years in prison as well as a small fine.

Case 3: Hoggmeiser. Hoggmeiser was a vassal for Kriveskoy until his passing and now owns multiple businesses to gather as much cash as possible. Speaking of which, that brings us to his first charge, which is operating illegal practices with Zeniski Financial. As I said, I could be wrong about this, however I highly doubt that any loan company that demands their clients to pay back their loans including interests and fees by the very next day after they receive it is legal. The second charge would be assaulting Laharl in Disgaea 1. Normally this would classify as self defense as it was taken place in his home, however since Laharl went inside to take back all the possessions he stole after he left the castle, it's unlikely they'll count it, though he would have higher odds the moment they bring up Laharl's attempted murder on him. He would still be charged with taking all of Krichveskoy's belongings after his passing, which would count as grand larceny as he stolen items directly from the late king. His biggest crime comes in Disgaea D2 where he flirts with Laharl after he was transformed into a girl. Granted at first, he didn't recognize that it was Laharl and if he backed down after finding that out, he might have been in the clear, but he continued to do so despite Laharl telling him to stop. And since Laharl would be classified as a minor due to Disgaea's aging system, things aren't looking good for him.

Hoggmeiser's sentence: In the end, I believe Hoggmeiser would have to spend 200 years behind bars due to the aging system, become a registered offender, shut down Zeniski Financial, and pay back any cash he has illegally obtained from his company.

Case 4: Maderas. Maderas also served under King Krichevskoy, but unlike Moggmeiser, he was banished before his death, mainly for stealing the king's black pretzels. Since Krichveskoy has already sentenced him for this crime, I'll ignore it for the post otherwise he would be dismissed under double jeopardy. Unfortunately, he will still be charged with theft as here as he has stolen Etna's memories, as well as coercion, as he forces Etna to help him kill Laharl and take the throne, and blackmail as he threatens to spread embarrassing photos of Laharl around if he doesn't what he asks. Speaking of which, his plan to assassinate Laharl will only count as conspiracy to commit murder as Laharl hasn't officially taken the throne around that time, meaning his biggest crime would be high treason as he attempts to illegally usurp the throne. You could also argue that him trapping Laharl with busty women and optimistic demons is torture.

Maderas's sentence: As such, Maderas will be the first antagonist to be issued the death penalty, likely via hanging or use of holy water. Guess he should have stayed banished after stealing those pretzels.

Case 5: General Carter. Carter is the head general of the EDF, a military defense force based somewhere in the US on one of the many human worlds. As such, he may have been able to use his position to get away with his crimes over the years, but that won't hold up in this court. First will be multiple accounts of child abuse as he has mentally manipulated Jennifer throughout her life. Granted, Jennifer isn't a child now, but she has admitted that it has been going on ever since he adopted her when her biological parents passed away when she was a child. Even if that wasn't the case, he would still be charged with abusing his employees as Jennifer has worked under him as Gordon's assistant. Speaking of Gordon, he would also have 2 counts of conspiracy to murder as he sent Gordon and others to the Netherworld to kill Laharl and then later send his own troops to the same place to kill Gordon. Then there's the unlawful invasion of the Netherworld itself in attempt to fully take it over which I'm pretty sure is a war crime, ordering Kurtis to "modify" Jennifer during said invasion which would count as mutilation, ordering Jennifer to self destruct to kill Laharl and co until Kurtis commits suicide to stop it and ordering angels to kill the group instead. All of this on its own would be pretty heavy charges, but it gets worse when you realize one more detail. Now that Laharl has officially taken the position as Overlord (I.E. "king"), all those attempts Carter made on his life would classify as attempted regicide.

Carter's sentence: Unsurprisingly, Carter is getting the death penalty, most likely via firing squad given his position.

Case 6: Archangel Vulcanus. Let's end today's segment with the actual main villain of the first game, Archangel Vulcanus. Spoiler warning: it's not looking good for him. First, we have trespassing into Laharl's castle and this is going to be the lightest charge he will face as next we have him taking Flonne's pendant while she was sleeping. Unlike Vyers, Vulcanus deliberately took the pendant knowing that she will die if she stays in the netherworld too long without it, so instead of theft, this would be attempted murder. Next, is defamation as he falsely informs Lamington about Flonne's actions in order to tarnish her image. Yes, Flonne helping Laharl claim the throne was true, but Flonne killing a human is false as the human in question, Captain Gordon, is alive and well. She may have aided Laharl in fighting Gordon, but she did not kill him, not to mention, Gordon went to the Netherworld to kill Laharl anyway, so that could be counted as her aiding him in self defense. Then there's conspiring with General Carter to invade the Netherworld, which again, war crime, and now we finally get to the REAL heavy hitters. As I said before, he purposely went against Lamington's orders and told the angels to execute Flonne when she co went to Celestia as he falsely accuses her of treason. This won't even be counted as self defense as Flonne's whole purpose to going to Celestia was to have a chat with Lamington. Her reasons were completely peaceful, and only fought when she was threatened with execution, so if anything self defense would go in her favor, not his. This is both insubordination and another attempted murder. Then there's hiring demons to kill Flonne and co in exchange for the Netherworld. Once again, since Laharl is among that group, this counts as attempted regicide. But the biggest crime he has is plotting to overthrow Lamington and take over not just Celestia, but the entire universe. This is high treason, conspiracy to commit ANOTHER regicide as Lamington's the Seraph, and crimes against peace as he plots to rule everything on a universal scale.

Vulcanus's sentence: Slap this menace with a death penalty. Considering that Lamington has already turned him into a flower at the end of Disgaea 1, we would likely have to resort to technically burning him alive.

So what do you guys think of this? Any other characters that have crimes I should take a look at? Just how accurate did I consider everything? Feel free to let me know. Thanks for reading and I'll see you later.))
