In the space around Planet Earth is the world renowned Defender of the Earth, Captain Gordon! Alongside him is his young, supple, scantly clad side-kick, Jennifer. The two of them are having one last cup of tea before they set off to hyperspace. Their destination? The Netherworld! The chief reminds them that they have intel saying the Overlord is planning an attack on Earth. Only Captain Gordan, Defender of the Earth, Jennifer, and their all-purpose super robot, Thursday, can save the world!
We return to the Netherworld, and a Prinny tells Laharl about a disturbance in the area known as the Stellar Graveyard. The graveyard is where all kinds of random space junk land, but Flonne wonders if the disturbance is an angel here to bring her back. Etna tells her it's probably an alien, a brain sucker, or "a midget with glowing fingertips." Laharl thinks it's a waste of time, but Flonne gets him to go anyway.
Stage One tells us that Captain Gordon, Defender of the Earth, crash landed. He landed elsewhere, but Jenn and Thursday are together. The robot assumes Gordon died, but the law of "always listen to a hot babe" makes Thursday begin scanning for him at Jennifer's orders. Meanwhile, Flonne is saying how beautiful the area is. Etna informs her that she could just choke the hopeless romantic. And by could, Etna begins to choke the poor girl, and Laharl gets her to stop. The battle consists of eight catgirls protecting one dullahan. I had some issues here as the catgirls have learned a new move from last we fought that functions like last night's pumpkins. I'd tell you my strategy, but I only had Laharl and Etna alive at the end. I may need to do some grinding soon.
Stage Two starts off with the two parties meeting. But first, Jennifer assumes all the potential horrible that could happen to her: hentai tentacles, vore, or even worse. Thursday asks her to keep her imagination under control. Laharl and crew enter, and Jennifer assumes he's a human who has been abducted by demons. Laharl is stunned because, again, Jennifer is a scantly clad, supple woman, which is still one of the "cute little boy's" weaknesses. She starts to assume all the horrible stuff the demons may have done to Laharl: amputation, brain sucking, and anal probing, and the Prince wants her to leave. Jennifer assumes it's a puberty thing and tries to tell him about sexual reproduction. Flonne ends up being the voice of reason and explains everything to the human. She's shocked, of course, as her and Thursday's brains figure out that their HQ is a bunch of liars. She spills the beans that they came here to kill the Overlord with Captain Gordon, Defender of the Earth. Laharl then plays the good guy and tries to find him because it is the Overlord's duty to find heroes. He begins to shine like a Super Saiyan! The battle has us surrounded by more catgirls, but there's an optional Geo Field around us that we can, and should, use to prevent them from attacking us. Defeat the ones near to us before purging the geo squares. This was a lot easier than the last battle.
Stage Three has us finding Gordon...sorta. We see he's alright, and he then begins to wonder about his comrades. He leaves to the north just as the team enters from the south. We're fighting a horde of pixies who aren't too terrible. The easiest, albeit longer, strategy is to throw the Silence Geo Crystal onto the field. The mobs are only dangerous if they're using their magic. That makes it hard for us to heal, should the need arise, but our basic attacks should out DPS them easily.
Stage Four has Jennifer talking to "Harlie" about his plans to invade Earth. Laharl has none as he knows the planet is polluted because humans suck. Jenn then has some conflicts of interest toward human nature and references "that man's eyes." I wonder who that is? Flonne wonders about a war between Earth and Hell and becomes worried. Etna is excited. The battle has several red Geo Squares with positive benefits for whoever is on them. Be the one to use them. Watch out for the sword guy in the back.
The Final Stage has us catching up to Captain Gordon, Defender of the Earth. He does his overacting and gets Thursday to aid him in the coming fight. Jennifer stays back because, it turns out, she's smart enough to know we're not the enemy. The two bicker for a moment before Laharl summons lighting and sets the human straight. Before the fight, Laharl and Captain Gordon, Defender of the Earth, make a deal. If the human wins, Laharl won't invade. But Laharl wins, Captain Gordon, Defender of the Earth, and his crew becomes vassals. Gordon insults Flonne, calling her a villainess, and she gets fighty.
The actual battle here is us vs. Captain Gordon, Defender of the Earth, and Thursday. Thursday seems to be the only real threat, so focus him first. It took two rounds, as the guy has 2000 HP. He also an attack that hits everyone around him that can lay waste to a team surrounding him. Gordon's only actions were a few basic shots with his gun. He has more HP, though, so he's no pushover. He might be able to out tank you.
The laugh of Laharl echos as we remain victorious. "Heroes don't always win!!" Flonne then realizes she just harmed a human and begins to panic. Etna is glad she's acting like a demon, but we see a scene in Celestia. Vulcanus is telling Lamington that Flonne killed a human and has a melodramatic tirade. Lamington seems more concerned about why a human would be in the Netherworld, though. As Vulcanus goes off to capture Flonne, the Seraph wonders what a human can do here? Flonne hopes to be able to talk to her boss one day, positive that he'll understand!
The next chapter skit has Etna constantly being interrupted by Captain Gordon, Defender of the Earth, who talks about his resume of being the 37th Defender of Earth. He remains his chipper and parodic self until we hear sounds of violence. Do I look forward to Angels, Demons, and Humans?
Etna's journal is about how she's not mad at Mama K anymore, but she can't figure out the exact reason why.
